Half of black men in the US will be arrested before they turn 23
  • Wow that's fucked. In my country the kids going to school is the parents legal responsibility, they can actually get fined if the child is delinquent. But never would the child be arrested.

    I'm very sorry that happened to you, both the sexual assault and the police treatment.

  • Half of black men in the US will be arrested before they turn 23
  • Clinton signed his crime bill

    I wasn't familiar, thanks for the pointer. This rhetoric "though on crime" has been going on from before my birth it seems.

    We cannot take our country back until we take our neighborhoods back. Four years ago this crime issue was used to divide America. I want to use it to unite America. I want to be tough on crime and good for civil rights. You can't have civil justice without order and safety.

  • I'm unfamiliar with the term field arrest. If I get this right, this is what happens when you get arrested for a misdemeanour on site, cited and then immediately let go? Possibly with a requirement of turning up to a police station for booking, or to a court date?

    I read a bit of the paper, and it seems they are simply using the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997.

    The relevant NLS topical guide says the following:

    NLSY97 youth respondents are asked whether they have ever been arrested by the police or taken into custody for an illegal or delinquent offense (not including arrests for minor traffic violations) and the total number of times this has happened.

    And looking up the phrasing in the questionnaire is also exactly the same

    Have you ever been arrested by the police or taken into custody for an illegal or delinquent offense (do not include arrests for minor traffic violations)?

    So I guess it would depend on whether respondents consider a field arrest an arrest and report it.

  • Half of black men in the US will be arrested before they turn 23
  • All of those sound insanely high. If you take a group of 10 random adult men from the US, roughly four of them have been arrested?

    Is a lot of it for underage drinking because that law is so far from lived reality?

  • Let people enjoy things 🙄
  • I think that makes sense too. Sure a drunk cyclist is less of a problem than a drunk motor vehicle operator.

    But as the third party you still don't want 100 kg (200 pounds) of dude and aluminium frame running into you at 20 km/h (12.4 mph), especially if you are a pedestrian, a second cyclist, or a biker.

  • Mehrere AKW wegen der Hitze runtergefahren
  • Betznau hat das Problem, dass die einfach gar keinen Kühlturm haben. Da geht die ganze Abwärme in die Aare. Und die dürfen sie nicht überhitzen weil sonst die Fische verrecken. Ich habe in den letzten Tagen paarmal versucht rauszukriegen wieso das Kraftwerk keinen Kühlturm hat, aber so eine Frage kann man einfach nicht gut googlen.

    Was mich etwas wundert ist, dass Golfech offenbar dasselbe Problem hat, obwohl dort gemäss der Wikipediabilder Kühltürme stehen. Hier in der Pressemitteilung sagen sie, dass das abgeleitete Wasser 0.2°C wärmer ist.

    Die Axpo sagt in ihrer Pressemitteilung hingegen, dass der ganze Fluss um 0.7°C bis 1°C erwärmt wird. Also schon 'ne andere Hausnummer.

  • Sameko Saba - Debut Stream
  • Yeah I know, I'm watching the 1 million stream :-D

    3 days ago: debut stream
    2 days ago: karaoke stream
    today: 1 million sub stream

    It's crazy! Dooby and Nimi have respectable half million and two thirds millions after a few months, and Saba just blows right past. But I suppose it was to be expected based on previous numbers.

  • Fedora proposal to drop 32-bit support has been withdrawn
  • To be a little more precise, Linux is still available for 32-bit x86, just not from the Fedora distro. The Linux project is just now dropping support for 486 CPUs, because the maintenance burden for a virtually unused system type is too high for the mainline. That still leaves 32-bit Pentiums and newer though.

  • Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman
  • The argument is utterly stupid.

    Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

  • Just joined the "banned from ml" club 🎉
  • I saw that thread yesterday and decided it was not even worth entering the cesspool. I figured any criticism of China would be dismissed as either motivated or based on western propaganda.

    Thanks for trying it in my place ter_maxima

  • ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered
  • The company has not released information on whether, or how long, it has spent mapping out or testing the driverless technology on Austin’s streets.

    That's being too nice, the CEO is clearly proud of not mapping cities, as seen in the tweets. The journalist should call it out explicitly. "They are probably not mapping as suggested by the CEO's public posts." That's not too much of a leap.

    A certain ex-corpo fish girl is returning to us today. We're at 188k viewers and the intro has been running for four minutes.

    I bet she's nervous as hell, hope everything goes well!

    Renegade - Hololive Justice original song

    I really like the sound of it, and the lore implications are kind of fun too. Justice turning darker.
