When that nun destroyed Archimedes' math book that had a bunch of pre-calculus stuff in it that wouldn't be discovered again for centuries.

Imagine if that book had led to the development of calculus, one of the most important tools in science for modeling the universe, much earlier than Newton and Leibniz.

Don't be silly, the US doesn't do economic coersion, the EU just completely coincidentally always economically align with them.

Their legacy lasted all these billions of years only to be destroyed by nosy humans. I get the scientific benefit of discovering things like this and support the research efforts in general, but the very act of studying something ancient like this irrecoverably alters it, and that still makes an irrational part of me really sad.

I remember watching a video where a US politician was asked "who pays tariffs," and after an initial unsuccessful attempt at weaseling out of the question, said something along the lines of "well if the foreign companies cared about their customers, they would pay it by lowering prices to factor in tariffs."

So good to know capitalists don't even know the first thing about capitalism.

US doing what they accuse China of doing #69420

But do enlighten me on how this is totally different and how no matter what the US does China is still worse by definition, libs.

"We originally had both as black people but the conservatives lynched the other one."

Libs also be like: "Anyone criticizing Israel is antisimetic" 🤝 "Anyone criticizing Ukraine is a Russian bot"

Progressive, sustainable renewable energy tainted by barbaric, ecosystem destroying animal ~~slavery~~ "agriculture."

Future generations will have to read this shit in history class.

Malware analysis and deobfuscation videos. Sometimes I just like to look at code but have someone else do all the thinking for me. Malware is also often obfuscated using a lot of esoteric features of different scripting languages, things you either know exist but likely have never had a reason to use in legitimate software development, or you'll learn about an interesting feature that you can use in your own code. The way seemingly complete nonsense slowly comes together into a readable script is really satisfying. It's also something I would never personally do because I don't want to accidentally infect myself or someone else with it, so it's cool to watch an actual cybersecurity expert do it.

Shoutout to John Hammond on YouTube.

If science journalists can stop dumbing down the titles to the point of being misleading that'd be great.

A study found that the sea anemone, a member of the Cnidarian phylum, uses bilaterian-like techniques to form its body.
This suggests that these techniques likely evolved before these two phyla separated evolutionarily some 600 to 700 million years ago, though it can't be ruled out that these techniques evolved independently.

Ok, so say that in the title. A blueprint implies instructions for making a human, which is not what they found.

So it’s surprising that this species in the phylum Cnidarians (along with jellyfish, corals, and other sea creatures) contains an ancient blueprint for bilaterians, of which Homo sapiens are a card-carrying member.

[Cnidarians] use a technique commonly associated with bilaterians, known as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) shuttling, to build their bodies.

Again, this is not a "blueprint." Just say they use the same mechanism as us to accomplish a similar task, it's surprising enough on its own without needing to reach for a comparison to a human construct.

A better title would be "Cnidarians like sea anemones have been found to use the same molecular mechanisms as bilaterians like mammals"

Locally run models use a fraction of the energy. Less than playing a game with heavy graphics.

Because US/Western regime changes always, always result in society in that country progressing, right? Never gets worse for anyone especially not minority groups, that would be un-American.

Don't blame fentanyl for cop psychopathy.

And that's not a defense of fentanyl.

Giving the ICE a platform to cry about how they're "threatened" by the public for things the public has every right to be enraged over is peak manufacturing consent. Who gives a shit what they think or how they feel after they kidnap and murder people?

Imagine if a German newspaper published an article like this about the SS during the holocaust, just letting the fucking extermination camp commanders vent about how everyone hates them now. Oh wait, that probably happened.

Jesus Christ this fucking article. Just rename yourself The Daily Bootlicker for god sake.

ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.

So they have no problems with the murder itself, but the public backlash in response to the murder. Got it.

Agents fear the public revulsion toward the heavy-handed approach of ICE under President Donald Trump, and the administration’s efforts to cover its own tracks as it did in the wake of Good’s shooting, is already causing problems securing criminal convictions. One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.

Yeah, just ignore the blatant and documented perjury and contempt of court ICE commits every day. THIS is what gets juries to not believe you, not that.

Separately, according to a report published Monday, Border Patrol—the agency working with ICE on the ground—is struggling to find agents willing to join the administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, which was promised by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in response to last Wednesday’s deadly incident.

Oh no the American SS is having trouble finding new Nazis! How terrible!

Now, two agents who decided to leave ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the past six months due to the changing nature of their job under Trump have told the Beast that they are terrified of the impact this is having on the force and their former colleagues.

So you didn't leave after seeing the crimes against humanity your organization commits, but now that you're potentially in danger it's time to go.

“Talking to colleagues in Minneapolis, they say it is not uncommon for people to drive past them and make gun signs with their fingers,”

Freedom of speech. Stop being a triggered snowflake.

this could eventually translate into real violence like the fatal shooting of an ICE agent in Dallas in September.

And there it is. They're afraid of someone doing to them what they do to others.

Another said: “We used to be respected and liked by the public, who understood the role we played in a functioning society and appreciated that we investigated and deported criminal illegals. That’s gone now.

You're making it seem like it was taken away and not squandered hundreds of times over.

“If this situation continues, many of us fear that when the Dems get back in, they will dissolve ICE altogether,”

Don't worry, they won't. When have the Dems ever done the right thing?

“For those of us who care about the good work ICE has done in the past three decades, that’s a very sad state of affairs.”

You're a very sad state of humanity.

As one senior Homeland Security official told Klippenstein: “There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy-handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

Damn, said the quiet part out loud, actually admitted ICE intends to threaten lives. At least one brownie point for the honesty.

But you're mentioning "ICE's heavy-handedness" like it's out of your control and you're not in charge of the ICE so I'm going to have to take away those brownie points.

You heard it folks, invalidate all US patents and copyright because written treaties are irrelevant!
