  • You must have read that wrong - this was clearly committed by Israeli super spy Moty Rola.

    Seriously though - they were all from a single Iranian supplier, not Motorola (at least according to every source I can find)

  • Best I can get is figuring out a way to reuse some pins on the uc to isolate two or three caps to use as voltage pumps and then dump the whole thing at once into the battery.

    I somehow suspect Electroboom is going to get a lot of new viewers in the next few days

  • tax incentives large cities are giving them to force their ppl back

    I can understand some executive being out of touch and deciding that it's worth the personnel hit to do full RTO, but tax incentives would explain a lot more of it. Reading that made me irrationally angry for a moment - because that's super fucked

  • The indictment was sealed and details of the charges weren’t immediately announced by prosecutors, but the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Damian Williams, confirmed in a statement that federal agents had Combs in custody.

    “We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” Williams said in a statement.

    So it's all pure speculation for the next few hours - this could be for tax evasion for all we know.

    EDIT: having read the full article now - I hope it includes tax evasion as well as everything else they describe. I knew he was a horrible person but holy fuck that's bad.

  • Hopefully everyone else watches the fallout of this and don't follow suit.

    I'm surprised the insurance companies haven't forced companies to walk back their RTO policies. More sick days, more injuries, more medical expenses.

  • This is a mentally ill person who was driven to an extreme and felt there was nothing better to do than take his own life.

    There is no message that should be said other than to urge anyone who is feeling similar distress needs to know that there are people who love them and no matter what there is always a better alternative.

    By condoning it for political purposes you give an out for the mentally ill to commit "legitimate" suicide, or worse to being manipulated into doing so. This is not a slippert slope, it is a hard line that many in these comments have crossed - which is why it needs to be said that there is a better path and there are resources.

  • If you feel so strongly about it - do it. The likelihood of you being killed is pretty low compared to the amount of people you'd actually help by helping distribute food, etc. If it's too far away, then you can always start small - volunteer at your local food pantry, soup kitchen, etc.

  • Because it apparently needs to be said:

    There are always better options than taking your own life

    If you are in crisis, please talk to someone who can help - if you don't feel comfortable talking with close friends or family - you can either call 988 in the United States or Canada, or find a relevant local resource via IASP

  • Headlines are sampled randomly for the first few hours of an article going live to measure exposure. The headline that gets the most clicks wins.

    There are a lot of sites that do this.

    It causes headaches when it comes to social. Usually the original headline is preserved in the url, but sometimes they'll use a unique id and then include the editorialized headline option so they can track which headline you clicked on.

    Also editorial decisions on wording based on pushback, legal threats, etc.

  • That's...actually not a bad idea. Take the user-domain name pairs and weigh the edges between domains by the number of unique users who posted from both domains.

    For producing clusters from the resulting graph should be easy, but aside from just saying "these are similar websites" does it really say much?

    You could do something similar with comment/upvote/downvote based linkages - maybe they'll have some deeper semantic meaning

  • No need to wait. Here's their statement: https://www.anera.org/press/anera-convoy-attacked-en-route-to-emirati-red-crescent-hospital-four-killed/

    No Anera staff were harmed, though one Anera employee, who was in the second vehicle, witnessed the incident at close range.

    Despite this attack, the remainder of the convoy continued its mission and successfully delivered the critical aid to the hospital. Anera has coordinated with the United Arab Emirates 24 prior shipments for the Emirati Red Crescent Hospital since May.

  • I don't see an easy way to accomplish this without either pulling in the full text of every article over some period and running something like paragraph/doc/site vectors and then clustering by site vector.

    That's putting a lot of faith into unsupervised learning, and it's probably just as likely to pick up on stylistic conventions like byline and date formats as it is to cluster by some common thematic pattern like political leaning.
