Assign a guardian and get notified in real time with an email and text message when a loved one is at risk.

That actually sounds useful… the associated image kinda made me giggle at how fake it looks but the idea is really good.

I believe you are correct.

watt vs watt-hour.

An 800 watt solar system would generate about 5 kwh per day if setup fairly optimally. 5 kwh is a pretty typical laptop battery capacity. 50-100wh is typical for a laptop battery.

Maybe giving equal training weight to r/sovereigncitizen and r/asklegal wasn’t the best idea.

If I have a gun but the government doesn’t care, am I not exercising my 2a rights?

No, you are not.

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in owning or procuring a gun.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your ability to own a gun, you therefor have a “right to own a gun”. For example, if you do not own a gun, and everyone who does own a gun doesn’t want to give/sell you a gun, your 2a rights were not violated.

……

Putting up a lost cat flyer, and having some random person yell at you for it is not exercising the “right to free speech” (for either party).

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in speech/expression.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your speech/expression, you therefor have a right to speech/expression in all contexts. For example, if you want to go on a rant about your personal beliefs, the government unduly burdened you. However this will not stop the owner of the grocery store from calling the cops to have you trespassed for bothering all of the customers.

It says a lot about the site when I’m immediately prompted to “ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE”… Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!

This isn’t news, it’s fear mongering propaganda. There’s PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.

The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element.

Importantly, the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted - not randomly – because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention (which excludes political groups, for example). This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, and not its members as individuals. Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable (including within a geographically limited area) and “substantial.”

Colloquially, it’s genocide, but legally it does not appear to be. And that’s a problem if you’re trying to charge Israel with genocide in a court of law. Inevitably it’s going to be found to not be genocide and that’s one more thing Israel can point to. Crimes against humanity would probably been a better route.

It’s going to be hard, if not impossible to show in court that Israel, as a policy, is deliberately targeting Palestinians. Showing Isael’s actions is resulting in shit tons of civilian casualties seems pretty easy. Maybe there’s super secret documents that show it’s a deliberate act, but I highly doubt they’d be that dumb if genocide is their intention.

Fun Fact: The more advertisers that pull out because they appear next to nazi shit increases the likelihood the remaining advertisers will appear next to nazi shit.

This is standard in *nix (Unix and Linux) operating systems

No, it very much isn’t.

Hurts 401k’s too.

Like shipping containers, or cardboard boxes of bullets?

That’s why I went with them. Good thing I only have a few so far and can put a pause on buying more until this shakes out.

Yup, I’ve had Pandora for many years. It’s cheap, no ads, but you don’t get to pick what it plays.

More realistically Ukraine has been requesting them for a while and the US finally gave in since the UK gave them some recently.

I did some work on this a decade or so ago in college. Data stays in memory a lot longer than you’d think at room temp, like minutes, not seconds. If you spray the modules down with an upside down compressed air can, you have plenty of time to remove it, and plug it into some that can dump it to persistent storage.

I hope it means knowing how to use it and knowing it’s limitations… but I doubt it was a programmer making the job description.

It’s a useful tool, but not magic. Sometimes it just makes shit up…

I’m converting a bunch of fixed-width reports to html at work. Used it to generate a basic left-right-center header for them. Just some basic boiler plate stuff, but way easier than googling. I’m not ready to try and have it create something I can’t easily review/validate. I’m sure there’s a non-zero number of examples it was trained on saying “This is just a simple example, don’t actually do this in production”.
