Down detector is a self-reported platform, they use a baseline over 6 months from user reports to try to automatically "detect" if there is a real outage, or if its just a couple end-users. Ultimately, the outage is entirely based on users going to down detector and clicking on "Report a Problem".

Very familiar; nothing of substance.

Ah yes, so reasonable. You remind me of the alcohol and marijuana prohibitionists. Tell me, how are your bans implemented? Do jack-booted thugs enforce said laws and throw people in cages, or does it somehow magically just... happen?

this would be the real travesty

Details matter, and details like "he pulled out a gun" are not inconsequential.

I assumed everyone also read the article if they're commenting on it, but I fail to see what additional that context that adds; I can't imagine he was pulling it out because it was time to oil it. Police were responding to an active shooter call, and this guy pulled out a gun.

It is factually accurate that he pulled out a weapon when police were responding to an active shooter call.

Good to see HN has changed their tune on gun ownership and defense. Until we see bodycam footage we're all basing our opinions entirely on what his lawyer is saying. Video will come out with a FOIA, but everyone will have moved on.

It explicitly said in the article that he pulled out a gun. He shouldn't have been swatted, obviously. That said, if you pull out a gun when police are responding to what they believe is an active shooter, the chances of you being shot are extremely high.

Additionally consider what would have happened if this had been an active shooting and they simply disregarded the phone call.

And yet our state is still the fourth-largest economy in the world.

"Organic means better" is the embarrassing and misleading talking point here though, not being against having toxic chemicals in our food sold as "organic". I don't want added copper compounds and residue in my food, and copper sulfate used in organic farming empirically does that.

"The most frequently quantified [organic] pesticide was copper." https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2015/5570...

This is untrue. For example, Copper Sulfate is a moderately toxic substance used in organic farming and is highly corrosive. It is approximately 5 to 10 times more toxic than Glyphosate (LD50 of ~300 to 790 mg/kg for Copper Sulfate vs. >4,320 mg/kg for Glyphosate.)

Unified Memory or VRAM, not just RAM.

Ironic, I just had a phishing attempt yesterday from a phone number that showed up on my Pixel as from "Google".

I've been running an N100 for 3 years with a 5 bay external enclosure over USB 3.2 Gen 2 and ZFS, and have not had any issues. It is pretty phenomenal, pulls about the same power, and costs around the same as an RPi 5 but provides substantially more compute and throughput.

They were a fairly common occurrence in the late 90s. I worked at an OEM at the time and we would stockpile it during gluts for that reason, then make a killing ~6-9 months later.

It's a link from the sheriff's office, and I agree Sam is not a mean person. I've known him since childhood.

I hope you're right and the information I got was incorrect, we all want him back on the right path. He was found guilty previously for the same charge and did multiple years, so the reality is he did do this at one point, even if the latest charge was acquitted (I had not heard this yet, if it is true).

I didn't notice that but you're correct, and that does change the calculus. In that case: https://www.mctxsheriff.org/news_detail_T6_R1333.php

If I link to any articles about it, I dox him unfortunately and I'd prefer not to. I was friends with cmang from our pre-teen days, and we were both heavily involved in the ansi/ascii scene. I'm sure there's still some here who remember him from efnet, or other places.

Unless someone forks this project, this is the final version. The author is serving a life sentence, so I cannot imagine he will update this ever again.

Then it should be easy to prove, instead of saying "it isn't up for dispute" or citing a person's model.

That article cites nothing other than someone's model. There is no hard evidence in what you linked.

RDR2 is quite optimized. We spend a lot of time profiling before release, and while input latency can be a tad high, the rendering pipeline is absolutely highly optimized as exhibited by the large amount of benchmarks on the web.

It is acceptable to condemn others you disagree with, it is not acceptable to throw them in a cage.

I can negotiate my own salary, hours, and working conditions. I don't need someone to do it for me, and I certainly do not want to be forced into such an arrangement. Just because it's something you personally find advantageous doesn't mean others feel the same way, and no one should ever be forced into it.

64 core EPYC chips based on Zen 2 is what really blows my mind.

Along with all our other services, they're monitored by our off-prem Icinga instance.

Free Markets aren't amoral at all, if I produce something of value and we swap value, I fail to see how that is amoral. In fact, preventing that transaction is amoral. Slavery itself was amoral, and codified and enforced by the state.

Many in the South abhorred slavery and segregation, but had no choice but to follow the law.

Killing and maiming people has been a State activity since they've existed. It's one of the things they're very efficient at.

I wonder if we'll look back at the Bloomberg "chip implant" story as fake news, and if that's the case, can you imagine the police breaking into their offices with a warrant because of it?

Fraud is one thing, but hiring some e-celeb to pitch your product isn't something we need jack-booted thugs kicking in doors for. We don't even have an objective definition of "fake news", and you'll never convince me the State should be the one defining or enforcing that.
