It’s a fire box. You can actually see a pretty good shot of another one in the first frame of the video. They’re basically public fire alarms with a pull lever, just like you’d find in buildings. When you pull the lever, it automatically alerts the fire department. They pass several throughout the video; Boston is full of them.

I can’t imagine riding in a cable car lane. I’d be terrified of my tires getting stuck in the recessed tracks. Plus there are plenty of videos of cable cars mowing down drivers who were in their lane, with absolutely zero fucks given. At least the drivers have a cage.

There are an infinite amount of real numbers between 0 and 1. On the top track, when you reach 1, you would only kill 1 person. But on the bottom track you would’ve already killed infinite people by the time you reached 1. And you would continue to kill infinite people every time you reached a new whole number.

On the top track. You would tend towards infinity, meaning the train would never actually kill infinite people; There would always be more people to kill, and the train would always be moving forwards. Those two constants are what make it tend towards infinity, but the train can never actually reach infinity as there is no end to the tracks.

But on the bottom track. The train can reach infinity multiple times, and will do so every time it reaches a whole number. Basically, by the time you’ve reached 1, the bottom track has already killed more people than the top track ever will.

I mean, in that case it’s not really a matter of the trolley killing them, per se. The number will tend towards infinity, until it suddenly spikes to real infinity as people starve.

As someone who occasionally has to scrub through hours of security camera footage, these cops need to learn what a binary search is. We had some art get stolen from our gallery, and I had to search through ~5 days of footage to find it. I found it in about 3 minutes with a binary search.

Start by defining your timeline. In my case, it was about 5 days (so roughly 120 hours) over the course of a long weekend. Then divide that time in half, (60 hours) and start at the middle. Is the artwork still there? If so, you know you don’t need to bother scrubbing through the first 60 hours at all. Or if it’s already missing, you know you don’t need to bother searching through the second half. Then divide the remaining half in half again, (30 hours) and do the same. Repeat, each time dividing the potential search by half. With only 10 divisions, (each taking only a few seconds to figure out what the next halfway point is and jump to it in the security camera program), I have already narrowed my search down from 5 days to ~7 minutes. And it only took me a few minutes total. And at that point, I just scrub through manually until I find the culprit.

My boss was just sitting at her computer, watching the video at like 2x speed from hour 0, hoping to eventually catch the person. After like 20 minutes of that she gave up and passed it off to me. And I had the incident found in like 3 or 4 minutes total.

The only real reason the cops have to avoid scrubbing through footage is laziness.

You don’t seem to be getting it… American copyright law can’t affect someone in Libya, unless the Libyan authorities allow it. American lawyers can try to sue all they want, but it won’t do anything unless the business owner visits America.

Libya doesn’t have an official extradition treaty with the US. So the American authorities can bitch and moan about it all they want, but they can’t arrest a Libyan citizen and drag them to America without Libya’s consent. If this is legal in Libya, they’re not breaking any Libyan laws, and they’re not harming Libyans, why would the Libyan authorities care?

“Sign this NDA, and your consideration is that we won’t toss you out on your ass with a less-than-honorable discharge.”

He’s a former Major in the Army National Guard. I can guarantee he knows what the UCMJ is; He just doesn’t care.

Yeah, dating is 100% a numbers game. You cast a broad net, and then pick through the ones who show interest. There’s no way to find the right person without failing a few times. The people that end up with their high school sweethearts are the exceptions that got extremely lucky, not the standard to strive for.

Don’t take the failure personally. Unless you’re blatantly going around cheating, being misogynistic, racist, etc., it’s likely not anything in particular that you did “wrong”. It simply means you weren’t a good match. The best thing you can do is simply be the best version of yourself. By that, I mean to avoid just sitting around on your hands, expecting someone to land in your lap. The “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” mentality is extremely toxic; Be the kind of person that your ideal partner would want to date.

“Just give the bully your lunch money, and they’ll stop asking for it in the future. It definitely won’t result in them coming back tomorrow to shake you down again.”

No, each server is accessed separately. You can swap between servers easily, but there is no central way to browse all of your servers simultaneously. Jellyfin was designed specifically to rebel against Plex’s centralization, so that’s not a feature they’re ever likely to implement. There are ways to sync your watch history between servers, but it’s using third-party plugins.

Phone calls in prison are recorded. Luigi needs to use prison phones to talk to his lawyer. So his phone calls with his lawyer were recorded. The content of those calls is guarded by attorney client privilege, and the prosecutor can’t legally access them… Except the prosecutor 100% accessed them, and listened in.

As soon as the prosecutor fessed up to knowing anything about the content of those calls, it threw a giant wrench in the works for the courts, because everything the prosecutor has done so far (or does in the future) is potentially tainted by the knowledge from those calls. Luigi could 100% use that to try and appeal if he’s convicted, citing the fact that his attorney client privilege was breached. And if that appeal works, then any evidence gained as a result of that privileged info would also be tossed out. So the prosecutor was recused, meaning they’re basically being removed from the trial.
