Some of the attacks in captivity look likely to have been provoked by the humans as well, which is something less likely to happen in the wild.
I can't tell you for sure what happened here, but it sure doesn't sound like the orca initiated it:
in July 6, 1999, a 27-year-old man who stayed after the park closed and evaded security to enter the orca tank was found dead and nude, draped over Tilikum's back with his genitals bitten off
Why was he nude? Why specifically his genitals bitten off? My guess is that it was not a case of sexual assault by an orca that stripped him.
If you sexually assault an orca, this is what happens.
The false accuser was from ancient times recognised as a particularly low felon.
But not in todays USA Inc. Instead of flogging snitches we encourage them. The former employer should be punished severely for using the cops like this, but probably will be encouraged to do it again instead.
Tell that to Snowden. Oh right, they only encourage citizens to spy on other citizens for the government. I thought this sort of false report was illegal.
In a lot of countries kids (up to age 18) can't go to jail, even if they kill someone, while in other countries seems to be ok to even jail them with adults and be waterboarded.
In some countries parents could go to prison for putting in their babies earrings, while in others that and similar practices are even promoted by the religions.
Compare receiving that lashes and ending the trouble there to pass up to 30 years of your life in jail for showing that something that is public is in fact public. Both are pretty bad, but is not something to point to the other side and say "look those savages".
Except they were going to lash him nearly to death and throw him in jail long enough to ruin his life. (7 years)
I think you were trolling, but there's a point under there. In the 70s you had to have a clue to get anything done. As more infrastructure and support system has been built, in the interest of not having to reinvent the wheel every project, you *can* have people produce things - or appear to produce things - while remaining clueless. Flash and sizzle have been replacing the steak.
Nowhere did GP say that all government is corrupt. But he did show an example of how Detroit's government is corrupt, and thus why it is a complete failure.
Replying to myself, but another thought: "Maybe some social programs are wasteful, maybe some are necessary." The issue here is that most of them are both. I don't know what the solution here is, but the polarizing nature of it means that no matter what we do, nobody is going to be happy about it.
"Cut Medicare spending? Why do they want old people to die? Our seniors have earned this?"
Just wait for it.
It's only tens of billions of other peoples' dollars a year. Why bother checking up vs. what insurance companies pay, who have incentive to not be wasteful?
Not surprising. This is from the "keep the government out of my medicare" people. They rail at people that are on welfare, but staunchly defend medicare and social security. Maybe some social programs are wasteful, maybe some are necessary. But when you have an obvious bias in that one of the programs is giving you money; surely even people this stupid can see the hypocrisy here?
leading Gerald Bull [wikipedia.org] (their chief proponent) to accept money from Saddam Hussein to build a supergun using the same technology, which lead to his assassination.
Led. The past tense of 'lead' is 'led.'
Perhaps he was referring to how he was assassinated.
Place looks like a dump, and the food doesn't look all that good either. What's up with the school cafeteria chairs? This is nothing but a poor attempt at publicity by the restaurant.
I like this theory. Its like the asshole guy that puts a bunch of cash into his wallet and complains. "Oh poor me all I have are 20s." Truth is that his credit cards are maxed and his bank account is empty, he just wants to look like he is rich.
Go to a casual local place and have a backup plan if it is busy. Restaurants with mile-long reservation lists and >$100 plates are almost universally overrated.
Minor correction, we STILL have those rights, they're just being trampled.
Is it still a right if it is only on paper?

After years of saying java didn't need C# features they go and steal tons of them from C#! Whether it's properties, lambdas, function pointers or async/await, the Java community has always insisted that those features weren't necessary and that Java was no worse for omitting them. Now they go and steal them and put them into their products and everyone will declare them innovative new Java features. Last month it was Apple stealing the "Metro" UI from Windows Phone. Now this. Is Microsoft the ONLY company doing anything innovative anymore?
Right, lets pretend Microsoft invented all of those things.
I feel that this is irresponsible behavior on the part of these security researchers.
Because we all know that if the researchers quietly tell the auto manufacturers they will fix the issues and make sure everything gets updated. Our upstanding auto manufacturers would certainly not try to bury issue and sue the reporters out of existence!
As a security researcher you should be used to companies trying to deny, bury and ignore reports instead of correct them.
Seriously, the only way to get a company to fix a flaw is when the pr nightmare becomes so great that it is cheaper to fix the problem than deny it.
It already is a standoff. The big companies have an unwritten agreement not to assault each other's patents. When one things it has the upper hand it might start a battle such as Apple vs Samsung, but these are rare. This allows them to use their patents to crush smaller companies without being in danger of having their own patents assaulted.
It's a pity this engine wasn't from Apollo 13. I bet Tom Hanks would have paid a pretty penny for an engine from the rocket he piloted, and then Bezos could have used the proceeds to retire a wealthy man, just like Cameron did when he salvaged the Titanic.
So the bounty is for "proof that the drone was potentially owned by the U.S. government". Sounds easy. Make a drone for less than 100 dollars. Place a "if found return to FBI" sticker on it. Profit. There is no "???".

That's right, we can bomb Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia into a feminist state. It's logical.
Probably using the gay bomb.

People would sell slashdot accounts on ebay, back when Karma was uncapped.
Depending on how bad the problem was either put the doc up on assault charges or on murder charges.
of course you could also have a third party run a listing of how many "errors" doctors have made.
To be fair with this list show the National Average Local Average also.
of course any fines should be split 85%+ to the "victim" and the balance to The State.
You will have nobody wanting to be a doctor, and resulting procedure costs of the ones that remain go straight through the roof.
The 3rd party listing thing is a good idea though. Way better then "yelp for doctors".

I first read that as "-1 salute the author".
