Absolutely guaranteed. As an institution, policing doesn't even see his behaviours as a problem.

From the article linked in that link, about their failure to investigate his prior offending: Ms Lee says the Met was also treating indecent exposure as a "low level" offence and that is why she was not asked to investigate immediately.

These are the bahaviours that escalate. They are the opportunity to stop sex offenders before they go on to commit more serious crimes. But the police treat it as an opportunity to tell sex cases that what they do is fine, boys will be boys, nothing see here.

Dismissing indecent exposure as ‘flashing’ led to the murder of Sarah Everard

Sack the lot of them. If they weren't actively contributing to these attitudes they were failing to challenge them. The only coppers not complicit in this are the ones that got hounded out of the job because they tried to challenge it.

The motive here appears to be much more sinister. If you haven't read the article in full...

After Meyden went back upstairs, the third girl, frightened for her friend who had been sleeping heavily, again pulled close to her, the affidavit said.

Meyden returned a second time and again tried to separate the girls from each other. He also put his finger underneath the nose of the girl who pretended to be sleeping “as if to see if she was soundly asleep, he then waved his hand in front of her face,” she told police, according to the affidavit.

Meyden then went outside through a sliding glass door and the girl frantically began calling and texting her parents and friends to pick her up.

This was one company, with only their NZ code affected. It'd be astonishing if all the pumps in NZ were still using the same code as four years ago. And not at all astonishing that coders are still making careless errors to do with dates.

Hydrogen is 'pure' electric.

The issue with hydrogen is that it can be colours other than green. Green hydrogen is used to store the excess from renewables, and is more like a battery than a fuel. Other colours use fossil fuel, sometimes with a desperate plea to believe that they will actually capture the CO2 produced in making it.

Green hydrogen is (potentially) a fantastic solution for transit, especially heavy transit.. The jury is still out for cars but Toyota is one of the few taking that route and it's important. Hydrogen is much lighter than batteries and refuelling is similar to petrol cars (ie quick).

The problem to be solved is leaks. More than about 5% leakage cancels out the benefits because hydrogen makes methane hang around for longer.

He has expensive lawyers. He's sacked all the ones that disagree with him. And he has been launching some wildly optimistic actions, so I guess we will see.

It's a very weird corporate structure. They started with a not-for-profit, only-for-the-good-of-mankind woo company. Then they started a for-profit subsidiary (with Microsoft investing in it) which is supposedly under the control of the non-profit. And now Altman has got rid of the non-profit board members who were sceptical about him.

Musk is precisely the wrong person to be asking the questions. But there are some questions that need to be answered.

I've only ever heard the phrase when a random internet dudebro was trying to show off for their imaginary friends by insulting me for being a woman.

If this thread is for men only, please amend the title. If it's for everyone, amend the text to acknowledge that for half the population it is not a punchline, it is an insult.

It really surprised me when I first read about it. The stereotype of ADHD is so far removed from the reality for many. Kids who do well academically don't get diagnosed and end up struggling because the hyperfocus element of ADHD isn't common knowledge.

Or, perhaps, hyperfocus on socially desirable activities isn't recognised as being problematic even if it's causing the individual with ADHD no end of trouble.

In July, the USDA said it did not find any violations of its animal research rules beyond a 2019 incident that Neuralink had already reported. 'VIOLATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS'

The FDA has its own requirements for animal research, known as Good Laboratory Practice, to demonstrate that any scientific data being collected in the development of a drug or medical device is reliable, three regulatory experts told Reuters.

Neuralink cited its animal research data in its FDA request to test the implants in humans. Musk, the company's billionaire founder, announced in May that his device was cleared for human trials, and said last month the first patient had received an implant and was recovering well.

So, the USDA inspection is entirely irrelevant wrt to research integrity. USDA is about animal welfare, the FDA is about whether health-related claims made by commercial companies are based on reliable evidence rather than cherry-picking and/or hand-waving.

I do not understand how the FDA managed to approve human trials before it inspected the facilities. That might be reasonable with a company that had gone through this process before but it is a horrible decision for a company which has never done anything like this before.

IIRC FDA approval was initially denied and I haven't seen anything that explains what changed in between denial and approval. But it is worth noting that the FDA is not well-equipped to resist commercial pressure.

Definitely one to watch.

None of it from me.

OK. Check out the sea of blue and then explain what the fuck you are on about.

You're reading "both sides"?

Work on your reading comprehension. This sort of braindead centrism should have died 8 years ago

Trump was never even close to being favourite in 2016.

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but srsly.

NO candidate EVER has come back from the deficit showing.

Trump did.

No.

But if you have to buy from Amazon (and sometimes it is difficult to avoid), find it via a search on your less evil search engine of choice so that Amazon has to pay them for the click.

I referred to a political party, not its voters.

And, wtf? Are you such an obedient voter that you do not care what they are offering as long as they're wearing the right colour? Come the fuck on.

It depends entirely on whether the Dems are capable of responding to criticism or whether they do their usual la la la can't hear you.

The problem with obediently voting for the least worst option is that you end up with no good options. Being marginally better than a fascist is not enough. They need turnout and if they want turnout they need to stop fucking over their voters.

You forgot to quote the bit about this being the primaries, not the general.

And you're going to have to explain how Clinton was a desperate underdog in 2016 if you want to imply that actually, she did well.

“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” -- Chuck Schumer 2016

And they still haven't learnt anything.

I remember 2016 very well. They took their vote for granted and fucked themselves up. They still haven't learnt anything from that.

This campaign is about the primaries, not the general election. They have not told anyone to vote for Trump.

The Dems took voters for granted in 2016 and got what they deserved. They should be thanking this campaign but shooting the messenger is so much easier, so they won't.
