Slashdot editors receive a lot of flak when they run dupes, or miss out on good stories. But this story about the ongoing cyber attack is literally the only one that makes sense - and I have read FT, NYT, and WSJ copies. Insightful summary, and perfectly stitched together. Kudos.
Too bad the summary leaves out a very key piece of info, which doesn't quite fit with the hype-line;
Ukrainian state power distributor Ukrenergo said its IT system had been hit by a cyber attack, but the disruption had no impact on power supplies or its broader operations.
In other words, the attack was on their administrative network, not power or grid control.
... scientific experiments which show that the so called "inner energy" is nothing more than an increased blood flow. Clearly visible on thermal cameras..
So, in your words, there was nothing observed other that increased blood flow, which obviously is going to happen when one exercises and there is no 'inner energy'. Why don't you just call it increased blood flow instead of Ki?
(unmarked cars are not about preventing crime, they are for catching people after they break the law).
No, marked cars are for catching people after breaking the law as well as a number of other things. Unmarked cars are for catching people 'as' they are committing a crime. Theoretically, if all cars were marked then a criminal would always know when it was safe to commit a crime.
But marked vs unmarked cars isn't a primary issue or solution. Spending more money doesn't seem to help either, because how that money is used is often limited to inneffective programs (not saying there are no effective ones that could expand). More cops can help, but some places see that as an unwanted intrusion. Programs that isolate young kids from bad influences while providing good influences work the best, but often the bad influences are family and so there is resistance to that type of social program approach. Stop and Frisk saves lives, but cities have determined the intrusion on individual rights is too great to save those lives.
So our hands are tied as we are left with little effective methods to deal with the issues. The politics of division make it that much harder to do anything effective.
"SWAT team dispatched at every construction site in the city"... Why ? One of the way to tie a sill plate to concrete is to use a powder-actuated nailer.
They are monitoring problem areas, not all areas. I'd say they know that a construction site is probably a poor place to place a monitor, or to expect nuisance alarms during the day if they do.
It is also pretty simple logic to know that communication between vehicles provides useful information for safe navigation. Dealing with the unexpected is a large challenge in autonomous driving, and such communication can reduce unexpected events. In order for it to work, there needs to be a standard and we should take time to do it right, along with other standards that would help autonomous travel such as intersection communications and probably even parking lot communications.
I don't know if it's possible to reflect heat, but I'm sure the lighter color reflects more LIGHT.
Maybe 'absorb less' would have been more appropriate. That could also be considered, in relative terms, rejection of some heat compared to a higher absorbing surface.
I explained you in my last post in the last paragraph the scientific base..
You did nothing of the sort. Maybe you just don't understand what constitutes a scientific explanation or evidence, its certainly not because some person teaches it, or because ancient societies named it. You've provided ZERO. I can find videos of people preaching religion all day, that doesn't mean their gods are real. Sho me a physical experiment with measurement and also a scientific explanation for results which doesn't breakdown in to 'we simply don't understand' at its fundamental level, because that is same as any religion.
As for making you happy, although you protest it must fill a psychological need otherwise you would not argue for it so much when you have no scientific basis. You say it doesn't matter but it very clear does. Similarly some religious folks similarly say their beliefs are chosen not because it make them happy, they just accept them as truth.
So why do you feel so compelled to argue for vitalism when you have no scientific bases, evidence or other? Why is it so important to you to proselytize it? You seem to be at peace believing in it, so why not just be happy with that and let it be?

“I feel a slight difference on the street and inside my apartment,” said Priscilla Corleto, 24, walking Gatsby, her small white Shih Tzu. “Without the AC, it seems cooler.
"no mythical energy", but its only something you 'feel', then you just insult others instead of providing any scientific basis. Nothing you describe is anything but normal body chemistry on some mental need to explain it with vitalism.
On a thermal camera, you see thermal gradients produced by normal biological functions. Nothing more.
I exercise all the time. I just don't feel the need to attribute the results to anything but well understood biology.
Lots of 'ancient' societies have named gods and supernatural forces, that does not give them any legitimacy, but it does provide some people with a psychological 'fill in' for lack of scientific basis. I see that works for you. Very well, like I said, as long as it makes you happy.
Just because it's done a certain way for a long time, doesn't mean we should never change it. It certainly doesn't cost Home Depot any more to print 1.5"x3.5" on the label instead of (or in addition to) 2x4. Anyone already familiar with lumber would know those are called 2x4's. They can save newbies the headache of buying the wrong size (who may not necessarily be buying wood for construction) and anyone looking for boards that are actually 2" x 4" can find them.
No need to make an expensive change when it is a very small problem. Even newbies rarely make the mistake. In fact, if they bought lumber that was actually 2x4 it would probably not work for a majority of the places you would order a 2x4 for, because it would not match existing standard lumber. So you would make the problem worse.
Dimensional lumber names and sizes have been standard for longer than you have been alive. If you want to change the standard, then lobby for it. But don't blame EVERY lumber seller, distributor, and producer for using the standard.
This should no longer be a problem for you now that you are aware.
Studies (admittedly from the wheeled-luggage lobby) suggest you can buy luggage with wheels and still carry it.
The label 'carry-on' is discriminatory and offensive to the roll-ons. Unfortunately, the deodorant lobby stopped the roll-ons from using that label. I think the carry-ons had something to do with it.
actually I prefer two-wheeled suitcases, but they are nearly impossible to buy new.
stores nowadays just sell four-wheeled.
unfortunately four-wheeled suitcases suck over rough ground, especially over cobble stone sidewalks common in Europe, with their tiny plastic wheels that easily break.
Agree. Those tiny swivel wheels on the four-wheelers aren't big enough to negotiate a lot of rough terrain, and for a carry-on size I have no need for more than two wheels. You can still find them, just bought two for my kids last month.
Anyhow, glad to see the French are tackling societies' most vexing problems.
Its not like I've never exercised, it makes me feel great and there are lots of body chemistry reasons for that. But if you want someone to test your theory, please spell out the test criteria. Otherwise, if you just want to proselytize vitalism, I'll simply respond just as I would someone proselytizing a god based religious belief. Frankly, I don't care to debate your beliefs and wish you well with them, so I was going to just leave it alone. If you insist on pushing your beliefs, however, then please start with the scientific basis and hard evidence. And if you do, please know that the human mind can perceive things differently than they really are, and can fool itself into inaccurately assigning the source of its perceptions. A very strong influence on perception can be other people and what they profess, larger groups professing the same can even have a stronger influence.
Of course it is relevant.
But I don't "defend" it. There is no need for it.
As I said: ask one to show you an exercise and you will "feel it" too.
But perhaps your religion does not allow you to train your body to perceive things you "believe" that they don't exist;D
Sorry, I am not religious. But I do respect those with religious beliefs, including vitalism. If people say they feel a god's presence, or life force energy, good for them. I try not to debate such things with those folks, so I'll stop here and wish you happiness.
Oh, ye of little imaginationne!
You'd give that 0.0005 seconds of your life up if that toaster had sensors in it to be sure that your toast was not burnt and not underdone *every* time you made toast. Ever stand there for ten minutes wasting away just trying to get that perfect slice? This is where you will buy an "Internet Toaster" and the tech will win.

possibly I might want a networked toaster that is not connected to the internet. A smart toaster (a smoaster?). Time my toast to finish exactly 15 seconds after my eggs are done. But I'll sure as heck never NEED it, and I might not want the Russians to know how dark I like my toast.
And then, you are going to tell me that a sample of 320 (1 ppm in respect to the American population) is representative while such pathologies affect 10% of the population...
I suppose you can't read, because the article didn't use the sample to determine what effects 10% of the population. I suppose you can't think either, because people of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to have jobs that require physical labor or strain, which is kind of obvious.
He's just a troll making stuff up to get a response.
Yoga is a great workout, but in a Yoga class there is a pretty good chance you'll find a few folks that believe in crystal energy healing and life force energy.

Why were the topics "gun control, same-sex marriage, and climate change" chosen to prove this theory? Less divisive topics might been better suited.

If the only places that these devices are placed are in "Bad Neighborhoods", then the Police State is demonstrably racist.
Wouldn't it be racist to assume 'bad neighborhoods' had a racial identity or connotation?
