  • Cuban-born immigrant died of homicide at ICE facility in Texas, autopsy finds

    Jump

  • There are a number of reasons why someone can die from homicide in the medical sense, but not the legal sense. For instance, self-defense.

    Most places have some variation on these types of homicide:

    1. Aggravated homicide, where the murder was planned
    2. 2nd degree homicide, where it wasn't planned but could reasonably be foreseen (e.g. savagely beating someone with a bat)
    3. Voluntary manslaughter/negligent homicide, such as knowingly driving a car with malfunctioning brakes
    4. Involuntary manslaughter, such as losing control of your car because of ice.

    There's also situations where it isn't a crime at all, but would still be medically homicide. I mentioned self-defense, but someone could get shot by a hunter because they were in the woods without an orange vest. There's also certain cases where it's legal for police to shoot someone, due to an active threat.

    All of these would be medically homicide, but only some would be called murder.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    Jump

  • This is basically the exact scenario that led me to detail that I was only talking about consumer gear. Server gear is a very different beast, with a variety of tradeoffs that I didn't want to get into. For instance, I'm assuming you can only use Registered RAM.

  • Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

    Jump

  • Most (US) companies don't consider the US government to be a significant risk to their business, partly because they're already subject to it.

    They also commonly believe that Microsoft can secure these keys more effectively than they could do so in-house. And they're probably right.

    Now, it's an entirely different story for any companies not subject to US law.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

    Jump

  • The biggest problem with DDR3 is that the last (consumer) boards/CPUs that could use it are really, REALLY old. 5th-gen Intel or AM3 AMD. Which means you're looking at a full decade old, at the newest. These boards also probably can't do more than 32GB.

    Now, I suppose if you only need 32GB RAM and a CPU that's pathetic by modern standards, then this is a viable path. But that's going to be a very small group of people.

  • The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill

    Jump

  • They introduced the Sacagawea dollar coins a while back with the expectations that people would use them for daily transactions. After an initial brief interest, they quickly fell off. Turns out that people in the US don't really care to use coins, and used the paper $1 bills at every opportunity.

  • Cuban-born immigrant died of homicide at ICE facility in Texas, autopsy finds

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that 'homicide' in this context has a different meaning than the legal sense. They are not making any determination of a crime or justification. All they are doing is saying that the person died because of the actions of another human, rather than it being self-inflicted or by natural causes.

    Which is a good first step to getting a conviction in court for homicide.

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

    Jump

  • That's part of the goal.

  • TPB weird behavior in searches?

    Jump

  • I've seen it, too. No idea what's behind it, but it tries to download a .ts file.

  • EVgo to install thousands of EV fast charging stalls at Kroger stores

    Jump

  • You are correct that apartment dwellers (more accurately, people that can't charge at home) don't typically have EVs. But that's BECAUSE they can't charge at home, meaning the whole thing will be a terrible experience.

    I'm not sure how much it will help to have fast chargers at a grocery store. Even the slowest charging vehicles are done (10%-80%) in about an hour, with most done significantly faster. That limits your shopping time.

    All of that said, Electrify America has been doing the same at Walmart for a few years now. They even charge you if you remain connected for more than 15 minutes after charging is complete. So I guess the model must be working for them.

  • Looks like McDonald's changed their sourcing about 10 years ago. Now they use trimmings as you said; previously they used pink slime.

    For the record, I never said (nor implied) that it would be fed to food animals. I was thinking more like dog food

  • Fake moo

    Jump

  • McDonald's gets the very last stage of leftover beef from the carcass. If they don't buy it, it goes to things like animal feed.

    I don't know how much McDonald's-grade beef is on a cow, but I'm guessing the real numbers are how much non-McDonald's beef people are eating, divided by the average weight of cows

  • There is a ratio, which may be a new experience if you've only used public trackers. It's not really a big deal if you have some patience, though.

    TL (as do most ratio trackers) gives you bonus points for your time seeding, even if you have done nothing more than make it available. You don't have to upload even a single byte unless someone wants it, and you'll still get points. These points can be used to buy upload credit.

    If you simply keep seeding everything you download, and buy credits as needed, you'll quickly have more ratio than you could ever hope to burn. No need to spend money or anything.

    As for limited content, it's a general tracker. You probably have niche interests, so you would be better suited on a more specific tracker. I've almost never had issues finding anything mainstream, although quality can be a crapshoot. That's the main reason I usually use other trackers.

  • A maga person has just threatened my family, what's to do next?

    Jump

  • It's not entirely true that you can't identify him from that Facebook account. It's just really, really hard.

    Facebook almost certainly knows who he is. Like specifically, name and all. Their data mining is VERY extensive, and he likely has other accounts.

    Anyway, with a lawyer's help, you can (possibly) get a court order for Facebook to reveal what they have on the guy. They certainly have things like IP addresses and timestamps, but they also probably have name, other associated accounts, viewing history across the web (from those "share with Facebook" icons/links, even if untouched), and hundreds or thousands of additional pages.

    Is it worthwhile? Probably not. But it can be done.

  • The rise of ID/face scanning to access bars & clubs

    Jump

  • Something tells me the demographics don't overlap very much. I'm betting that most people going to a club already have and use a Facebook account. Unless there's a massive cultural difference among young adults in Australia.

    Jump

  • Opentrackers.org posts open signups. TorrentLeech is at least as good as the public ones, and it has open signups a few times per year.

    Otherwise, you can apply/interview for RED and a few others, work your way up through the ranks, and use the invite forums. This is how you get to the really big and really good trackers. But it's also a lot of time and effort, which most people don't want to do.

    You might get lucky on the open signups. Every top-tier tracker was once a tiny site with no users. If you join and contribute, they could be the next big thing, and you joined with minimal effort.

  • Trump accepts Nobel medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Machado

  • It's not his. He's just proud to be holding onto someone else's award. Which is somehow the most pathetic thing I think I've ever heard. It's like being a cuck for the actual holder.

  • Anger in Iceland over incoming US ambassador’s ‘52nd state’ joke

    Jump

  • Indeed they can. It's called expelling an ambassador, and is usually a sign that diplomatic relations are bad and deteriorating. I have no idea if that's the right move, especially given current circumstances.
