If death is a suicide it doesn't automatically means that third parties weren't involved. It's possible to push (temporally) vulnerable people over the edge, even if when helped/left alone they wouldn't.

Especially if one party have incentive to discredit/destroy such person, so court/jury won't take their testimony seriously(or there will be no testimony at all). After all it's almost impossible to connect such actions with subsequent suicide.

While suicide is by definition action of individual, what leads to it isn't always the same.

How about government is paying for treatment of people too poor to pay themselves and everyone is paying their share to finance that spending? And as a bonus everyone else will also get their medical treatment financed this way?

> Why non-LTS out of curiosity?

Based on my experience, more recent kernel versions have more fixes/better support for recent hardware(or sometimes not so recent). LTS doesn't backport everything from later releases for obvious reasons.

> Qualcomm showed Linux working in October 2023 yet here in October 2024 Linux does not work. I don't get it.

Curse of Android, Qualcomm lived for so long with permanently forked kernel, that there is no pressure on code quality, only thing they know is how to sling minimally viable platform code at their unfortunate customers. No one cares about maintainability of it, because even before code has a chance to stabilise, there is already new model to be released, new hardware to be supported. At this point no one cares about old hardware.

> It really is a werid feeling remembering the internet of my youth and even my 20s and knowing that it will never exist again.

User facing ability to whitelist and blacklist websites in search results, ability to set weights for websites you want to see higher in search results.

Spamlists for search results, so even if you don't have knowledge/experience to do it yourself, you can still protect them from spam.

It's recreation of e-mail situation, not because it's good, but because www is getting even worse than e-mail.

> One of the first things I learned in film school is _nothing_ in a production at that level is coincidence or serendipity. To get to the final script and storyboard, the writers would have gone through multiple drafts, and a great deal of material gets either cut, or retooled to reinforce thematic elements. To the extent that The Simpsons was a goofy cartoon, its writers’ room carried a great deal of intellectual and academic heft, and I don’t doubt for a moment that there was full intention with both the joke itself, and the choice to leave the character’s motivations ambiguous.

Not everything, for example I read somewhere that chess "fight" in Tween Peaks was random and didn't adhere to chess rules because no one really paid attention to record or follow moves.

The question is, does cops in civilized countries have them. Because them being a thing in USA is something to be expected.

Just for visibility of your comment, do you have transparent tattoos?

> Okay? I'm not surprised that a conservative judge is part of a conservative ideological legal organization. That doesn't mean the same thing as saying they're a politician who is funded by someone.

Doesn't it make it looks like he is a ideologue supported by ideological organisation that happens to be a judge and uses this occupation to further his ideology instead of basing judgements on law?

And that organisation conspire to promote judges that are ideologues first?

> Good point. But the audit seems useless now. It's supposed to prevent the carelessness from causing... this thing that happened anyway.

> Sure, maybe it prevented even more events like this from happening. But still.

Because the point of audit is not to prevent hacks, it's to prove that you did your due diligence to not get hacked, so fact that hack happened is not your fault.

You can hide under umbrella of "sometimes hacks happen no matter what you do".

It depends on what your position is. Are you there to actually provide security to your org or to tick a in an audit. If both which is more important. Because failing an audit have real consequences, while having breaches in security have almost none. Just look at credit score companies.

> As do birthday parties.

Capitalism is a birthday party and you're a present.

> "How do we stop people from sharing (what I deem to be) fake news?" is the wrong question. The right question is "How do we give people the tools to identify fake news?" If you give people the tools and they still spread what you deem to be fake news, then you've done what you can. Tough cookies for you.

When you teach people to recognise fake news they will be able to recognise your fake news. What you want is to cut people from enemy fake news (or truth, they are enemy, it doesn't matter) so they will believe everything you say while enemy can't influence them.

If you want to get something fixed whine a lot and bother everyone who can't run away from you. Also what a git I was... https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101061

> That means that somewhere there's a written policy defining where they should and shouldn't be doing these things, and that the policy wasn't strictly observed this time. They weren't just doing this randomly; they had procedures designed, ostensibly, to protect public safety, and the procedures weren't followed. A failure of leadership occurred at multiple levels, but, as is so common these days, nobody will be held accountable. It'll be given lip service and hand wringing, but ultimately nothing will be done.

Procedures are there to look nice in the book, what matters is culture of use. Because culture always wins with procedures.

> > You make it seem like the formal verification missed an issue.

> Sorry, that was not my intent. I added a clarification.

I'm sorry but it didn't. Without reading next comment I wouldn't know why it failed.

> Are children more traumatized now than in the past? Seems like the past was harder on children.

My guess is that in the past child mortality was higher and children traumatised enough just didn't survived. And because of such high mortality no one cared to find out why.

> It's not a question of ignorance, it's a question of intent.

> If you walk into Walmart and intentionally walk out with a banana without paying, you can't get out of prosecution by claiming that you didn't know it was illegal to do that.

> If, on the other hand, you accidentally neglect to scan the banana at the self checkout then it is a valid defense to say that you thought you'd already scanned it in and you must have gotten confused by all the other items you were handling.

> Theft requires intent.

No one will care what you say when you will get caught. https://www.good.is/lawyer-explains-the-risk-of-using-self-c...

> Would that be what’s best for everyone?

> If you’re being serious, I genuinely wonder if you realize the consequences of this drastic a decision.

It would be best for everyone who isn't Boeing. But we all know that the second it would happen, Boeing would run crying to politicians they own how unfair this action is/how it endangers their market position/how it threatens national security.

> Do you have their names memorized? If you met one dining with their family at a country club, would you know what they did?

> Their personal reputations are still largely intact.

Well person who would be attending country club would know that they raised shareholders value and more than likely helped to them to gain X millions of Dollars.

> Airplane maintenance is not YOLOed. Logs must exist. My mechanic logs every thing he does on my plane. Else it cannot fly legally. Lack of these logs might be a serious offense in of itself.

What a coincidence that single mechanic is more accountable than a "committee".

> Can you really do that though?

> You have to trust your workers to not undo some random bolts here and there at some stage.

Why? We don't trust surgeons to remove correct limbs, why we should trust some contractors thrice removed from actual accountability? There are checklists for a reason.

> I fly a 40-year-old Cessna. If someone replaced a light bulb in 1982, I have a record of it.

How surprising that hobbyist act like hobbyist. When real money gets involved, all of sudden inconvenient things no longer are "critical" so no documentation is needed for them. What a coincidence...

But when you are malicious and evil, stopping outsiders from learning to what level, is actually useful. Because there is ambiguity in "they destroyed evidence, so they had something to hide" vs "they have documentation proving they are two Hitlers in a trenchcoat"

> Do you mean, some people just consciously agree with being used and lied to and their taxes being stolen so that the leaders can be richer and more powerful while schooling, health care and economy is in decay? I don't think so.

Many people actually do that, because in their minds alternative is "left" that will do the same but with added bonus of supporting LGBT, fight against climate change, unrestricted immigration and such. And getting traditional true patriot of country X rich is preferred to fattening this dirty commies traitors on the "left".

There is no better keyboard and mouse than no keyboard and mouse. Does anyone knows a solution that allows to provide input without the need to move your arms and/or fingers? I have heard about brainwave detection but apparently it's hard to learn, slow and have a high latency. Any ideas?

> > All housing is inherited in equal share by all descendants

> Isn't that's how it works pretty much everywhere these days unless there is an explicit will?

No, in highly advanced countries we use the Highlander rule, "There shall be only one left", descendants fight eachother, cutting heads of loosers until only one remains and inherits the property. This is also the reason UK tries to ban knives, they are way to small to cut someones head with a single strike. We are humane after all.

> If it was so bad why did people pay so much more for Spirit stock in 2014?

Fact that it sold for more doesn't mean it was in good shape. There are many potential reasons why people would pay more, even if Spirit was in bad shape.

Then what about letting me buy your content? No? What a surprise...

> How does recycling reduce plastic pollution? It's degrading and destroying the same plastic over and over. You're taking the high-quality plastic that would have sat in a landfill, making it into a lower-quality plastic and then sending it back out in the world. And then eventually... yep, the landfill, in the best-case scenario.

> Recycling just increases the chance that it's going to end up as low-quality plastic polluting the environment.

Recycling was/is a scam
