It's all the same people. If you really don't know, a few of the incidents are here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c6299nrj76yo


I suspected that it's about immigration agents. But it's just really funny how the article claims to explain the issues, without actually explaining it.

Why do they use weapons extensively? Are they chasing violent people who shot at them earlier, or just for fun? It just raises more questions, and doesn't help understanding the situation at all.


They use weapons extensively because they're overwhelmingly barely physically capable of the role (https://www.newsweek.com/dhs-responds-report-ice-recruits-fa...) and get 8 weeks of training with no military or law enforcement experience required (https://old.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/comments/1mrdh6r/fyi_ice_...).


You can read any mainstream source to find out the general contours of the situation. The "want you to understand" is in the context of there being too many people in outright denial about the naked autocratic fascism that has descended upon our country - eg see all the comments in this very thread trying to justify any of this as being about "the law" or "illegal immigration".


The ladder is still there! See that pile of wood there? That's where we put the rungs. And if dig in that hole over there you might even find the extension we removed last week...


How was the task of building this project easier for them than it would now be for you or me? I feel like you are using the phrase “pulling up the ladder” in a way that doesn’t track with common usage.


I'm pretty sure that's in development, it's just more difficult.



There's also OpenTrainTimes https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/wat#T_WATRLMN

And https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/ for precise times/platform information.


And https://www.map.signalbox.io/, which tries to interpolate signal locations onto a geographic map (with the expected level of inaccuracy, though still not half-bad)


Just wanted to say that I appreciate how well written this is. It does make a difference when an author can clearly and succinctly state their case.


Thanks!


I wrote a similar program once. To get it to be efficient I had to use a bunch of heuristics including scrabble scoring words, so it would prefer words with low scrabble scores which were more likely to fit in with other words.


The declining share price and profits is exactly what made it possible for IBM to buy Hashicorp. The license change didn't juice things -- it watered down the price. $6 billion is a snip compared to the $14 billion IPO valuation.

Fintan Ryan has a nice write-up here: https://medium.com/@fintanr/on-ibm-acquiring-hashicorp-c9c73...

Support him? Start by talking to him and seeing what he thinks is fair.


Thanks, you've restored my faith in humanity. Really, thanks.
