Witch-hunting is a historical example of mass behavior potentially fueled by moral panic. The current trend towards banning phone use in schools is another.
My daughter sent me a TikTok about the government using counterintelligence techniques against left wing groups. I sent her the wikipedia page on Cointellpro with the comment “Sadly this is not new”
The Department of Homeland Security was just a combination of existing federal bureaus into one entity. What you have to remember and what is noted in the 9-11 report and everyone should read the 9-11 report is that we had evidence of the attacks prior to them occurring, but the problem was inter-agency rivalries prevented the information getting to some central location where you can connect the dots.
Now it’s not to say that there wasn’t a lot of knee jerk authoritarian reaction to the attacks in the form of the patriot act, warrantless surveillance, legalized torture, and extraordinary rendition. Combining federal agencies into the department of homeland security by comparison seemed pretty mild at the time.
Ebikes are heavy, like 30-40 KG. While foldable bikes are great just be aware you still need to carry a significant weight.
When they list max carrying capacity, check the fine print, I have found almost every time the max carrying capacity includes the weight of the bike. If it says 100kg carrying capacity that almost always means 100kg - 35kg bike weight = actual carrying capacity of 65kg.
It makes sense things would burn faster due to the higher ratio of surface area to overall volume. Since volume increases with the 3rd power and surface area with the 2nd power little logs have proportionally more surface area.
In 1997 everyone knew we were in a bubble. Alan Greenspan the Fed Chair publicly called it “Irrational Exuberance. ” If you got out of the market then you missed a market doubling and left significant upside on the table. It was insanity and everyone new it, much like today. There was a trend of people quitting their jibs to become full time day traders. Its easy to make money in an up market.
In the dot com collapse the effects were mostly felt in the tech sector. While the stock market slumped there was not a wave of banks failing. There were a lot of layoffs in the tech sector and IT jobs were hard to come by.
Thanks for the pointer to the series, looks super-interesting.
I am going off the book, "The Most Awful Responsibility" which is a detailed telling of the events around Truman, the decision to drop the bomb and the consequences for nuclear policy.
“Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.”
Misleading headline.
This was 3 out of hundreds of thousands of runs. And mainly due to misconfigurations not aggressive use of zero days.
While it is possible to characterize this as a marketing stunt, it is equally possible to characterize this as transparency.
It is an interesting story but do we really need the sensationalism?
Probably the Alchemist by Paul Coelho at 160 pages or Seagull by Anton Chekhov at 60 pages.

So you friend zoned the soft flexible one and gave it up for the rigid texture with the larger tip?
A tale as old as time…
“Doom is one of the most widely Ported video games…”
Is there another video game that has been ported more?
Breakout is a techno-thriller grounded in real science. Enjoyed this one.

Two things:
Good luck. Have fun.
I feel like we all know this. This CGP Grey video is 9 years old.

I wonder if you could make a tiny candle?

I worry about this.
A lot.
“…and we will make more”
Kind of misleading without the rest of the quote. Basically saying no more AI layoffs for now.
This is not a change of course, its a pause in the carnage.
Is 30,000 a lot for China? I feel like it might not be.
Also this is kind of the bottom line: "The LX 7G100 remains a poor buy for anyone chasing performance per dollar..."
We have an “occasional absence” policy where you can take a few hours in the middle of the day for a doctors appointment or such.
I feel like everyone already new this, but no one wants to admit it.

And he was so horrified at the results that he created the doctrine of civilian control of nuclear weapons.
