The difference is the 100x the cost to build it and the completely different amounts of foot traffic and margins available in dense city centers. Nobody is going to build such a store if their return on investment is expected 50-100 years down the road.
+1, it had a bad period when they were hyperscaling up, but IME they've found their pace (very) recently - I almost ditched cursor in the summer, but am a quite happy user now.
The man was prosecuted and the jury found him not guilty.
I would be curious to know what their reasoning was.
I think mine would be that since these agents seem to face absolutely no consequences for their far more egregious actions. Why should something so minor result in jail time. To be clear, I’m not talking about their lawful actions. I’m talking about them assaulting and abusing people and excessive use of force that’s been captured on camera all across the country.
This has been a pattern with these petty prosecutions. It seems like video that shows they embellished / lied comes out time and again. A number of protests have had a series of charges dropped when video showed they were lying about the events.
Fair question. The jury in this case decided it wasn’t assault.
My hypothesis is that people generally feel that police face little to no accountability and so there is a more serious double standard to contend with.
Yeah no I don’t think intelligence works like that.
There’s not some core reasoning engine in your brain that is independent of your knowledge. The two are intertwined.
Some people are better at reasoning about politics vs maths, for example, because they have both the knowledge, skills, and experience to understood how such systems work vs a mathematician who does not.
True, but more and wider references seems to imply better when I’m not sure that’s true. Wikipedia is edited and it’s sources are curated. I think that’s a good thing.
Larry Sanger, the person who accuses Wikipedia of "smear campaigns against conservatives" [0] and begs Elon Musk to investigate whether members of the administration are contributing to Wikipedia [1] and to immediately defund them. That Larry Sanger.
Yes. You can find his accusations of smear campaigns against conservatives and his evidence to support it in the link in the comment you just replied to.
Also:
“Wikipedia co-founder here. May I ask you to determine what branches of the U.S. government—if any!—have employees paid to edit, monitor, update, lobby, etc., WIkipedia?”
It’s been a constant issue in Australia recently. The 3G network shut down and it turns out a lot of phones were using 3G exclusively for emergency calls. As well as various network operator bugs.
Emergency calls being their own system which rarely gets tested by users is becoming a real issue.
They should make a 912 number that works exactly like any other number, with all the pros and cons of that. Though I guess then there would be no incentive to fix the special one.
I was thinking the opposite. A 912 number should use the exact same network and systems as 911, but just goes to a computer at the other end reading off some diagnostic info for guilt free testing.
In the UK if you ring 999, you get put through to a 999 call handling centre that'll forward your call onto the police, fire and rescue, or ambulance service.
As part of 999 handling, emergency control rooms can subscribe to a service called EISEC, which will provide details of the 999 centre that forwarded the call and an approximate location of the caller. This is determined from network provider records for fixed-line phones, or from your phone's GPS if you ring from a mobile, or as an absolute last resort the GPS location of the nearest mobile serving site. The protocol is actually published and available to the public as SIN278 (Supplier Information Notice), but you will absolutely not be able to roll your own and expect to connect it to BT's network just for funsies. I know, I asked.
Anyway, to do a full end-to-end test you really need to ring 999, ask to be put through to the service you're testing, and check that your location pops up on their dispatch system. The 999 operators are always happy to help verify lines and so on, as long as you're not excessive.
The one thing you must never do if you accidentally call 999/112/911 is just hang up. DO NOT DO THIS. They WILL send the cops to check out what's going on, and they will send them quickly. If you (or your small child) calls 999, take the phone, explain it was an accidental call and you don't need assistance, and they'll close it off.
