They are open-sourcing the platform. It is good news. Even if it cannot be changed, the insight is worth it.

Take, for example, Slashot algorithm. It had some success but has tendency to create echo chambers in its own right. For example, your post has little substance on the topic except some paranoia, self-promotion and your political views, but yet Slashdot moderates it up.

Perhaps someone will create something better by analyzing both

The question is who and why? What if it was a test and not some random event? Spanish government failed its citizens. 50,000 military-age men invaded Spanish enclave with no warning or resistance. Where was intelligence services, border security, army? Europe has hard questions to answer of it it is actually ready to defend itself.

Many countries in continental Europe and around the world have "duty to rescue" laws that impose an affirmative legal duty on citizens to aid individuals in distress. If you are leisurely broadcasting violent crime instead of alerting authorities or trying to help, you are already breaking the law. If on top of that you are trying to cash in on the situation, 5 years in prison sounds about right.

People need to understand that it is not that hard to break records. There is only 100+ years of reliable instrumental data and about 50 year of satellite data.

This is a bit misleading. There is nothing in the law that limits asset types in 401(k) plans. Trustees limit investment choices because of liability attached to it. Alternative assets have been long available in self-directed 401(k) plans. You can load up on Trump coins in your solo 401(k) any time you want.

Submission + - Chuck Norris Dies at 86 (nytimes.com)

SchroedingersCat writes: Chuck Norris, known for his roles in action films and as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker on the TV show "Walker, Texas Ranger," passed away on March 19, leaving behind a legacy of inspiring millions around the world. He was 86.

He became Internet phenomenon after "Chuck Norris Facts" went viral online with such wildly hyperbolic statements as, "Chuck Norris had a staring contest with the sun — and won," and, "When Chuck Norris does push-ups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down."

His death was announced by his family through his official Instagram account, but no further details were immediately available. He was hospitalized earlier that day in Hawaii after experiencing a medical emergency, the family said.
