Well written. OpenClaw appears to be a fad but this writeup suggests pi is worth understanding & using for the long term

Interesting to read that there is little to no legal action that can be taken to halt operations at the plant, which means that unfortunately it may take a long time for this to be resolved.

It’s interesting that in 2018 we didn’t see any anonymous posts confirming the story. This recent article suggests that knowledge was fairly well spread amongst government agencies and their suppliers. Impressive that the culture of secrecy remains so strong.

Primary sources have been lacking in coverage of this story; is the Communist party that powerful in controlling first hand accounts?

A choice quote from the wickedlocal coverage:

Those involved became so concerned that they developed a list of people in California they could frame if authorities tracked the harassment there, Lelling said

It would be interesting to know the middleman involved in hiring BellTroX; surely Exxon didn’t hire them directly but were working with a “public relations” company that took initiative to hire this shady firm. Knowing the middleman might help connect the loose threads

Since this is being repeated multiple times, quoting benmaraschino:

One of these "studies" is a 2-page Google Doc with no real data. Another is the discredited Raoult study, which is under investigation by the journal [1]. Another study cited is also by Raoult's team. The Brazil study (ref. 29) doesn't seem to have passed peer review (yet?) and has severe methodological flaws. Like the Raoult studies, the Brazil study was not randomized, but makes no attempt to control for confounding by indication or self-selection, such as with propensity score matching or similar methods commonly used in observational studies. The last study cited isn't a study, but an article from a local news station.

Do other newspapers publish scans of their print editions? From the article, nytimes:

Tonnage has the right of way

Microsoft Edge, which is built on Chromium, would fit this parallel nicely.

Interesting how little coverage the largest IPO ever has been getting.

The documents released here describe high level directives from Xi Jingping, and some quotes on how family members should be told of detained relatives. Presumably there must be many other documents detailing design and construction of the large scale facilities that would be needed for the number people being detained; these might shed more light on the actual scale of what is happening. The documents so far could be describing programs that target 100’s of people, not the millions claimed elsewhere.

It would be interesting to know what Saudi Arabia asked Abouammo to do at Amazon as well.

It would be helpful to share evidence on assertion #4, it is a claim that often appears but usually without proof.

This is an archived copy of a teardown that Samsung asked iFixit to remove. The teardown suggests that the tradeoffs necessary to support the range of motion across the hinge led to increased ingress points for particulates along the edge of the screen and the spine.

Another (perhaps more) common use of the term Maginot Line is as a metaphor for expensive efforts that offer a false sense of security.
