  • Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech worker

    Jump

  • Is there a reason to think there will be no trial and this guy by some reason will end up in some CIA black site without trial?

    I just find it interesting that someone who has absolutely no trust in authorities does not have a theory that court can be influenced by the same authorities.

  • If you will not trust authorities how do you expect them to prove it to you?

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

  • Not just CEO. I would say he might have known even less of procedures in detail than middle management. You wouldn't pardon all Nazis just because Hitler was on top, would you? If what you do willingly is non-ethical even if you don't call the shots, you are just as bad.

  • Sure they have more money to donate, but most of population is not donating even a single cent even if they could. I do have savings which I am keeping to buy a decent flat. In theory I don't necessarily must have it and I could settle with worse option and instead help someone who is worse than me, yet I am chosing to not do it.

    We can also help by donating our time instead of money, go volunteer in soup kitchen or something like that. I don't ever see myself doing that.

    I donate maybe 15 eur per year through some store options (I either get 1 cent per each 1 eur I spend or I can transfer it to charity. Or with deposit system I can donate 10 cents per each can, bottle of beverage I buy instead of getting that deposit back). I don't think I have explicitly transferred money otherwise. Relatively speaking I am just as bad as any billionaire when it comes to charity.

  • Is anyone else besides China doing this? Cannot really call it international norm if 1 country is doing this.

  • Agree on this except I have doubts that this statement is true

    It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

  • Aren't we primarily ok with this guy being assassinated because he was the face of a terrible company not because he was CEO in general? If someone from middle management or even low level worker who personally denied this guy′s insurance claim would have been assasinated, would we suddenly feel sorry?

    Also remember that people like surgeons or dentists also can be considered ″filthy rich″ by your average Joe standards.

  • You could point fingers to almost anyone, this is not specific to extra wealthy. All of us here probably have it better than 70% of humanity, yet we choose to watch a movie instead of go help others. Dedicating a large part of your life in helping others is very admirable, but it's not something you can expect everyone to do.

  • This might sound easy, but is actually extremely hard

    I don't think this impossible contraption sounds simple.

  • And 299999999 is divisible by 13

    Jump

  • Never realized there are so many rules for divisibility. This post fits in this category:

    Forming an alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left gives a multiple of 7

    299,999 would be 999 - 299 = 700 which is divisible by 7. And if we simply swap grouped digits to 999,299, it is also divisible by 7 since 299 - 999 = -700.

    And as for 13:

    Form the alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left. The result must be divisible by 13

    So we have 999 - 999 + 299 = 299.

    You can continue with other rules so we can then take this

    Add 4 times the last digit to the rest. The result must be divisible by 13.

    So for 299 it's 29 + 9 * 4 = 65 which divides by 13. Pretty cool.

  • TIL British actor David McCallum recorded four albums for Capitol Records in the 1960s. Three of the albums were entirely instrumental. One of the instrumental tracks was sampled by Dr. Dre.

  • Check out WhoSampled. It's the largest resource regarding samples/covers.

  • Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands

    Jump

  • From article

    Reddit challenged its designation on the basis that it is mostly a text-based discussion platform, and links to videos uploaded elsewhere on the internet should not be factored in. The Irish regulator counter-argued that the audio-visual content on the platform is extensive, and pointed to its enormous reach, with 73 million daily users.

    Could not find any post statistics, but they probably are correct and percentage wise uploaded videos should be at the bottom, but total count probably is too large to be simply disregarded. Reddit probably has more videos than Vimeo which is purely video based. And if Reddit would be in the clear then so should be Twitter and Facebook since those too are primarily text based.

  • Because most people did not use 3rd party apps and do not care about site′s management. Why move to someplace else if everything works great where you already are.

  • It should fix system files that are not in expected state (I assume corruption, missing, wrong permissions etc.). Maybe it was more useful in the past, but after trying it couple times around 8 years ago and never seeing any benefit, I have never thought of using it since.

    My colleague said it fixed some random issue once or twice after he was out of ideas.

    If system is truly messed up, it's often faster and more reliable to just reinstall it, especially if you do not have much custom config.

  • Karen who did not get leaving card loses UK employment claim

  • Based on the article, she might have been hated not just disliked.

    She said another employee had asked her: “Are you taking the piss, Karen?” The tribunal heard that this was after Conaghan suggested she had “done all of the hard work” and it was his “turn to do some”.

  • Microsoft officially recommends a new PC and OneDrive to update to Windows 11

    Jump

  • While it sounds ridiculous, there is a reasoning for this even nowadays:

    Any periodic activity with a rate faster than one minute incurs the scrutiny of the Windows performance team, because periodic activity prevents the CPU from entering a low-power state. Updating the seconds in the taskbar clock is not essential to the user interface, unlike telling the user where their typing is going to go, or making sure a video plays smoothly. And the recommendation is that inessential periodic timers have a minimum period of one minute, and they should enable timer coalescing to minimize system wake-ups.

    Found 1 test that seems to confirm battery life is slightly worse (2%) with seconds enabled. But this is true only when nothing is going on on screen. If you would actually work on PC, I imagine difference would be practically nonexistent.

    All that said, I use seconds on my private and work PC. Was pissed when MS initially removed this as an option.
