  • I can somehow hear this lyric.

  • There was a Nova episode in the 1970s that was dedicated to a crazy rich guy's hare-brained scheme to mine minerals off of the sea floor.

    Then, about thirty years later another Nova episode revealed that the mining scheme from the earlier episode was a CIA cover story to cover up for a top secret claw game operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine off of the sea floor.

    So I guess the first one was fake news.

  • It's worse than that. In C++, if you fail to catch an exception, then std::terminate() is called. In Rust the only options are roughly equivalent to C++ noexcept, or std::terminate() [panic in Rust]. There's nothing in between.

  • Rust has many container-like objects that may or may contain a value, like Box. Most of these have an unwrap() method that either obtains the inner value or panics the whole application.

  • I think this article is about the downgrade, not the reversal that happened later.

    Basically, it's old news.

  • Magnetohydrodynamics is a somewhat specialized subfield where there are immediate direct applications to nuclear fusion reactors.

    It's basically fluid mechanics, like you'd see in the aerospace department, but the fluid both generates and is moved by the local magnetic field. Because it's an ionized plasma.

  • Fentanyl the WMD is all over every hospital and nursing home in America. Time to send in the UN inspectors and set up the no fly zones.

  • But, but, the other terminal on those batteries is floating?

  • It's usually the case that federal judges did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

    In this case the actual order says to turn over all copies. It also says to deposit one copy at the federal court, which the feds can access if they apply for and obtain a lawful search warrant.

    If the feds are found to be holding onto copies later, they can get in a bunch of trouble. More importantly, they can no longer publish these emails as exhibits in a hypothetical future prosecution, like they did with Comey. Because as soon as they do, it's all "hey where did you get those from?"

  • What in the secret menu was a 67?

  • Kavanaugh, J., concurring:

    Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.

  • Al pastor is actually a lot more recent than the Moors.

    Shawarma was imported by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico in the late 1800s. The meat switched over to pork based on availability and the fact that the Lebanese immigrants were mainly Christian.

    1. The court found that there is no lawful basis to deport Abrego in the first place, because the government was unable to produce a copy of the 2019 deportation order in court.
    2. The court found that government lawyers deliberately "misled the tribunal" regarding their efforts to deport Abrego to Africa. The court "will take this into account" while considering pending motions for sanctions.
    3. In alternative to #1, the court found that the government was not really detaining Abrego to deport him, because they could have sent him to Costa Rica at any time in the past few months. But they did not.
    4. Therefore, there is no lawful reason to subject Abrego to immigration detention, and the writ of habeas corpus is granted.
    5. Abrego is still on bail in the TN criminal case.
  • The absolute safest bet is to perform a wipe.

    This may be effective at preventing the government from accessing the data. But as we see, the law, including the 5th amendment, doesn't protect from legal exposure to obstruction-type charges. Or lying to the cops type charges if you say you'll unlock the phone, but then you actually wipe the phone.

  • If he's a US citizen, he's better off refusing to enter any PIN. That's protected by the 5th amendment.

    If not a citizen and this was in a port of entry context, then he would still have the 5th amendment protection. But customs can simply choose to refuse entry on discretion. So that's a potentially serious consequence.

  • Obstruction of justice is a charge. Destroying evidence to frustrate a criminal investigation that you know about could qualify.

    The fifth amendment protection against self incrimination applies to statements. It does not protect actions such as pressing the factory reset buttons on your phone.

  • That's more or less what happened with the littoral combat ships. It's like the McDonald's ice cream machine model of weapons system design.

    The other wild things is that navies traditionally wildly overstaff their ships so they can do all their repairs themselves and fast. But when they switched to this contractor model they didn't fully unload the staff, so they had a bunch of repair technicians on board who couldn't do anything.

  • In many jurisdictions, deer season is like 1 or 2 weekends per year, and the limit is 1. It's not a lot of time to actually find and shoot a deer. So this guy is probably setting this up several weeks in advance to get some level of assurance that some deer will show up to his spot at the appointed time.
