  • “Tartaglione has faced claims that he tried to murder Epstein while they were in the same cell. In July 2019, Epstein was found unresponsive and later told a guard that Tartaglione “tried to kill him”, a source told CBS. Epstein also told prison guards that Tartaglione was trying to “extort money from him and stated that if he didn’t pay him, that he would beat him up,” according to the outlet.”

    Is the pardon for getting his job done?

  • I’ve been using the new windowed UI with touch, no keyboard or mouse. For a UI that belongs at a desktop, it’s fine on iPad but not nearly as quick as the Split and Slide system.

  • Or until they beat the confession into the suspect, whichever happens first.

  • Rest of him couldn’t fit.

  • No s***. Nearly 500 workers getting grabbed followed 300 of them being sent home should delay if not end the project.

  • All else being equal, the guy who destroys all the evidence is less trustworthy.

  • Yeah, well, I don’t put much stock into people’s perceptions. People are already pre-complaining about the battery life of the iPhone Air, which is hilarious to me as a mini owner who charges primarily before and after bed, not overnight. They’re mocking the crossbody strap as if they’ve never seen anyone carry their phone on a crossbody strap. I mean, it’s not for me (although I do carry my phone in what is technically a crossbody strap), but it looks handy, and it seems like it’d be better with a lighter phone.

  • As the owner of a 13 mini, I would point out that not all of us want big heavy phones, and I am happy they offer a lighter option. If Apple decides to offer iPhone-sized phones again, I hope they go with a smaller version of the Air.

  • Was it a supporter?

  • In the States, anyone can attempt to sue anyone for anything. Doesn’t mean you’ll win, or that you won’t be countersued, or that you won’t be penalized for wasting the court’s time, all of which should apply to those two examples.

    Our Great Pumpkin President once sued a journalist for a billion dollars because he hurt his feelings. That was not the stated purpose, but his argument was the journalist caused grievous emotional harm. To be clear, much like Trump at the time, the journalist did not have a billion dollars, and the case was thrown out. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=8100467&page=1

  • Here’s what our actual laws against booby traps entail: "A booby trap may be defined as any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device. This term includes guns, ammunition, or explosive devices attached to trip wires or other triggering mechanisms, sharpened stakes, nails, spikes, electrical devices, lines or wires with hooks attached, and devices for the production of toxic fumes or gases." https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/booby-traps/

    So yeah, actual booby traps are illegal, but a concrete mailbox is not necessarily a booby trap. A lawsuit arguing a concrete mailbox is a booby trap is an attempt to classify it as booby trap, which means it is not currently classified as one.

  • Opposable thumbs. 👍

  • That’s not a requirement of Hanlon’s razor. Stupidity can be introduced at any point in the process. If a commander orders a firing squad to form a circle and they shoot each other, that’s on the commander, not the squad for shooting each other.

  • Upgraded from secretly dying to visibly dying.

  • Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Exact instructions with no allowance for judgment were given and followed exactly. Not malicious, just compliance with stupid instructions.

  • “And don’t tell me I don’t love my country. I love it enough to hold it to account.” — This kid knows the difference between love and infatuation, between patriotism and nationalism.

  • A secret order that requires going to secret court to refute is not a request.

  • That’s an actual use case, not future. Camera Control enables quick access to visual intelligence.

  • A few things to keep in mind: military service is mandatory in Israel, and Unit 8200 does signal intelligence, corresponding to the U.S. National Security Agency, which is our largest employer of mathematicians. Any Israeli with advanced knowledge of mathematics, cryptography, etc. has almost certainly served in Unit 8200.

  • Nothing. They’re investing in glass and chip manufacturing. “Apple is establishing the American Manufacturing Program (AMP) […] partners include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Amkor, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and Broadcom.”

    Note: none of this covers Apple silicon, but there are like a dozen other chips in an iPhone, and iPhones can’t ship without them.
