Making prey less scared of the predator makes them significantly more likely to be eaten by that predator.

The reality is even worse than “seeking out cats” because it means if it does this in humans, (which it appears to do) those among us who get infected will engage in all manner of risky, dangerous and destructive behaviors.

The problem with filling up a ssd is that it writes and rewrites the same blocks over and over defeating the built in wear leveling.

Filling an ssd creates the one situation where nand wear out is a problem.

Can’t. Some asshole convinced us to allow them to frame advertising as speech to get it protected by the first amendment. Clever. Tragic, but clever.

If you ask me advertising is manipulation, specifically designed to convince you to buy things you don’t want or need (if you want it or need it advertising is literally not necessary). But I’m not the boss and we have things like the constitution guiding what we can and cannot do.

They like to say that but it’s not true. The constitution still applies.

Here’s the thing. We live in a democracy. We get to decide how far our government goes. This one is a bridge too far. So stand up and say so.

Pretty sure this qualifies as destruction of data (at least it is a supported mechanism according to NIST data destruction guidelines.) I don’t have the link handy but I quick google should confirm

Technically it was the agent putting in the duress password that erased the phone.

The phone wouldn’t have been erased if it hadn’t been illegally searched.

This study might be missing some long-term thinking and testing of common knowledge.

It is known among farmers that cats reduce rat PRESENCE. the study concludes that cats don’t kill enough rats to reduce rat POPULATIONS (which is entirely different). Rodent control is not about killing rodents it’s about keeping rodents away.

The hypothesis to test would be that rats avoid areas with cats because it makes their young less safe. (A cat discovering an unattended nest containing rat kits will certainly go badly for the rats). I’d like to see the total rat counts in the area of study before arrival of cats and after. I’d guess from what I’ve seen that the population counts would be wildly different than can be accounted for by cat kills.

Why is that a problem? It’s entirely consistent with religious ideology to trust in god.

You don’t get to have it both ways, telling people not to worry and trust in made up crap for one thing and then getting all facts and science just because your own life is on the line.

The real problem here is the hypocrisy.

“3-year-old warrant she says she didn’t know existed and stemmed from a dismissed misdemeanor charge”

I’m guessing this stunt will cost the city something like $2M, too bad the assholes responsible will face no repercussions whatsoever.

You, the citizens are on the hook for what your police do. Perhaps you’d like to push for more of a say in HOW they do what they do. For one thing wouldn’t it be nice if a citizen review board could fire those fuckers? Behavior changes real quick when there are consequences. Which I think is the whole argument for policing in the first place.

Shouldn’t we just call them unlicensed and untested injectable drugs? “Peptides” is both excessively broad and insufficiently informative. The purpose of these injections is to cause the body to behave differently. That’s what a drug does. These concoctions haven’t been tested and approved. Giving them a new name gives the public the impression they’re a new thing. They are not. They are an old thing: an untested drug.

As with many things it depends on HOW you do it. Uber’s driverless car was unsafe. The Cruze fiasco was about transparency not safety. And in the case of RoboTaxi that shit is absolutely not safe.

Bullshit.

Or I suppose more accurately, ready for what? Another thirty years of “promising”development?

Ai can’t cook so no.
