Your quote actually made me go and read the article. Thanks a lot dude, I’m fucking pissed now.

“The city’s role is significant as much as Ms Grossman’s and Mr Erickson’s. The city was on notice of the problem,” Grossman’s attorney, Esther Holm, said in court, referring to a previous complaint issued to the city.

Ms. Holm, your client hit those kids in a crosswalk at 73 MPH. Are you really trying to say the city’s landscaping had equal responsibility in these deaths?

“As we flirt with a prospective IPO for our hilariously unprofitable company, I would just like to say our product is so good it scares me.”

This is so dumb. I absolutely love it.

Yeh it’s peak, really goes downhill from there.

It will be such a weird case, too! Stealing taxpayer money from one organization to be used in direct opposition of another? It’s such awful fiscal policy that trying to entertain a defense of it might cause Thomas or Alito to have a stroke lol

Every place I’ve ever worked has tried to play cute with security researchers. I’ve never understood it. I’ve always called it out. But I keep fucking running into it!

Bro you can’t even run a publicly traded company. Don’t even say the word “utility”. Fuck outta here.

They’re certainly making an impressive go of it, but I don’t see anything in their arsenal that’s going to survive sustained attacks.

SPYDER is so comically expensive that resisting long range drones will bankrupt the country, and automated turrets, while much better from a price per kill perspective, simply don’t have the range of other solutions (hundreds of meters at best rather than 40km of SPYDER or 5km of iron dome).

A better solution for the drones in the OP might be the new Rheinmetall platforms with airburst ammunition, but I’m not sure Israel can procure those in the numbers necessary to cover their defenses or infrastructure.

I see them as ways to find content that otherwise wouldn’t be on my radar. I generally don’t let them “talk me out” of seeing something that interests me.

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but what does it cost to maintain the iron dome when your batteries are depleted and the missiles are on backorder? It’s not like literally anyone else is fielding this equipment, so what happens when the only customer suddenly needs a tall order every week?

Under normal economic conditions, a tamir missile costs about $80k, and a shahed drone costs about $30k (and dropping). These are not normal conditions, and I expect that Israel is going to have spotty coverage in the coming years.

The worst part is that I’m sure Netanyahu and his ilk have priced all this in and agreed that the casualties and long-term dependence on foreign funding and ordnance is a fair trade for the additional territory. I really hope the Israeli people disagree.

This is probably the most important image on the Internet.

Yes, but the situation is getting strange.

Our model has always been that the reviewer is responsible for protecting the repository. This led to one IC getting fired for “letting in” a catastrophic bug his teammate generated with Claude.

It’s like looking back at my own misspent youth. 10/10 great stuff, and wonderfully maintained + displayed.

Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?

As for “toe,” it’s probably an old-school usage of a verb which is preserved in that phrase, but not carried on otherwise. Making it sound weird, today.

That would make it a fossil word (one of my favorite language quirks)!

It would have cost you nothing to keep this male victim complex horseshit to yourself.

The thing is that waymo did this without decades of training data arriving per day. Tesla is worryingly far behind on the actual self-driving tech from an investor’s perspective.

I’d be more interested to know if the current demand for drones is even dipping into their reserves. I have my doubts.

Iran has been profitably exporting shahed drones at 20-50k USD for years now. This is a country with a 500B USD GDP that is now engaged in a highly mobilized fight for self-determination; this armchair general says they’d be smart to strategically stockpile and very selectively deploy to draw things out for years if necessary, and that they’re probably in a position to actually do it.

Truly a “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory” moment.

We live in an unprecedented time where American technological hegemony is being rejected globally, but especially in Europe. People want performant, durable, respectful software offerings, and are increasingly looking away from the Valley and the Street for answers.

So let’s jump on board with becoming part of the extended American surveillance state! Yee fucking haw.

Yeah, this pretty clearly isn’t intended to block bots lol
