Boeing has broken so many rules, what’s another, at this point this incident is irrelevant.
The fact that one missed piece of paperwork is not what caused this, even if it is the trigger. The company focusing on minimizing paper trail and fudging paperwork to pass regulations is what caused it.
Yeah the Constitution don’t say anything bout AI so according to the originalists, companies can do anything they want, lol.
Trump was already booked as Inmate P01135809 in the Georgia election subversion case.
I’d think that for a blanket no-homelessness policy to be even reasonably humane, each person would need a right of address, even a 50 sqft. parcel of public land in/by the town of choosing which they can call their domicile.
Same thing in BC… In the Prince George encapment case, it was ruled that unless there are enough shelter beds that are sufficiently accessible by the affected population, they are allowed to stay in the Lower Patricia encampment.
Needless to say there was fierce competition. The pity I feel for Americans is to a level I feel physically sick.
There’s one way to fix this… elect a landslide blue majority in the HoR and Senate and redefine explicitly the role of every federal agency. That way Republicans in the future can’t weaponize doing nothing as easily.
Oh lord, this is the worst news to come from this week.
If sleeping anywhere for someone without a permanent place to live is allowed to be made illegal, we should have rotating shifts to keep the Court majority awake in their homes so that they will have to flee to Harlan Crow’s yacht.
In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

There are still commits being pushed to it in 2024, but a lot of the open issues are talking about errors that apparently were fixed but not provided in a release.
Yes, internally and also with a beta-stage Nextcloud Social app, but the builds appear to be out of date and not working that well with the latest Nextcloud installations.

Someone reupload yuzu, stat!
Ignoring the law is a more profitable strategy then following it. Unless this changes, then healthcare companies will continue screwing people over.
I understand that institutionalized racism has long been and continues to be a thing, where predominantly white neighbourhoods are kept quiet and intact while neighbourhoods whose residents are predominantly other races end up being the first target for displacement and “physical impacts”. Most likely the land in the neighborhood of the selected alternative costs lower than that of the other neighbourhood, which isn’t Amtrak’s fault but it is one of the facets of this institutional racism.
The Interstate Highway System is a prime example of this in many metro areas, and ironically improving this rail corridor would be helping to reverse the damage by making alternatives to motor vehicles more attractive.
On the other hand, this effort is treading towards the line of NIMBYism. With proper engineering, the effects of tunneling under the neighbourhood are overstated.
Still, I think that if there are legitimate health concerns, the ones who pay the most in direct and indirect costs should receive commensurate benefits. Provide better transit to the neighbourhood that connects to the nearest station serviced by the future corridor. Subsidize premium comprehensive healthcare for these residents to help address any concerns from construction impacts. Fund soundproofing improvements if noise impacts are a concern.
Starcraft 2 has the best control scheme out of all the RTS games that I have played. I wish Age of Empires 2 could put the map on the left, then I would be way better at using it.
Fog of war
Just play Terran and scan, hurr durrrrrrr. Interestingly, AoE2 has a game option of letting everyone see each other by default.
What better place to use this meme:
Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.
Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.
Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.
Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.
Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.
If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.
That’s exactly my point, it’s not one piece of paperwork, it’s an entire record keeping process that’s screwed up.
