  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office

  • Sadly, as I understood from a report I saw this morning, it's not in connection to his pedophilia but to sending highly sensitive gov docs to Epstein which may have been used for financial gain.

  • Scientific journals place less trust in women researchers

  • Sad. A quick story, my wife, then girlfriend, began doing research as a tech for a group on a specific task that no one the lab had been able to solve. She busted her ass off and got it working, received praise and authorship for the work. However, because she worked with a PhD student who did some simple work, mathematical modeling but nothing substantial concerting the paper, and needed authorships to graduate was given first authorship, which generally means they did most of the substantial work in the publication. She was pissed and let down, but didn't care as she was heading into medicine and didn't really care about the authorship.

  • With this headline it seems as if this may have been their plan all along. Outsource labor to a poorer nation, who work for pennies on the dollar compared to their local counterpart with hopes that eventually they get autonomous driving to a flawless state, and then put both out of a job. Profit!

  • Just the Browser: tools to remove AI and other bloatware from Chrome, Edge and Firefox

    Jump

  • I've been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that's what I did and it retained my passwords. I'm not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I've tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.

  • A good read that focuses on your post is Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity by Lawrence Lessig.

  • What are some of your earliest memories of school?

    Jump

  • 4th or 5th grade (9- 10 years old) in winter getting off the bus and walking on to school grounds I see drops of blood on the ground. I follow the trail thinking some kid got their nose busted and I might witness the spectacle. Follow the trail around the corner into the court yard where the flag pole was, look up and there's a coyote skinned, hung from a back leg tendon, frozen, bloody and a long bloody icicle hanging from it's nose. I can still see it in my mind to this day.

    For some context, this school was across from the high school and it was a big football rival playing our team that day. Our school mascot is the Lobos (wolf in Spanish).

  • Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says

    Jump

  • Memo be damned, this clearly violates the 4th amendment,

    Fourth Amendment

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    But the other branches of our democracy are captured and complicit in this disregard for the rule of law. It explicitly says people/person not citizen, not legal person, not law abiding citizen or person, just a person has this right no other qualifiers. My fear is if the rule of law continues to crumble as fast as it has over this past year, shit is going to get extremely ugly and I fear what this means for my country. It's clear that protesting only isn't doing it and I fear again that elections aren't going to solve this problem.

  • Ha! No, I'm a decent cook but a mediocre baker, that pic is from wikipedia.

  • One's cooked in a pan, the other not.

    You can use baguettes in multiple ways like other breads, imagination is the limit.

    -Cut it on the bias (at an angle), toast and use to dip in soup or mop up sauce. I do this with onion soup to top it, buttered and sprinkled with a good melting cheese, place on top of soup in bowl and broil in oven until melted and browning.

    -Slice in half long ways, butter with a good garlic butter recipe, bake in oven until browned serve with spaghetti.

    -Once it's old, stale and hard, cube it up (can do it fresh too) use as croutons for salads or grind it up for bread crumbs to cook with.

  • This smoking pipe made from asbestos

    Jump

  • It is the dust or small fibers that are inhaled that are problematic, they scar lung tissue and aren't easily expelled or at all by the body. Asbestos is a natural silicate mineral and was used as a fire retardant since it doesn't burn and withstands high temps.

  • Reminds me of Hawking's quote, never read the book so might be out of context, but I remember hearing it and thinking

    This might suggest that the so-called imaginary time is really the real time, and that what we call real time is just a figment of our imaginations. In real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down. But in imaginary time, there are no singularities or boundaries. So maybe what we call imaginary time is really more basic, and what we call real is just an idea that we invent to help us describe what we think the universe is like. But according to the approach I described in Chapter 1, a scientific theory is just a mathematical model we make to describe our observations: it exists only in our minds. So it is meaningless to ask: which is real, “real” or “imaginary” time? It is simply a matter of which is the more useful description. ― Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time
