As the Red Army was pushing into Berlin, Hitler tried to order the destruction of German Industry. It was not simply to prevent the allies from continuing, but also to punish the German people for failing him. The film Downfall portrays him believing that the German people had shown themselves to be weak and that they deserved to die.
Trump has always had some Hitler energy. It's been reported multiple times that he keeps a collection of Hitler speeches by his bed. As he threatens Greenland, everyone wants to jump to compare that to Poland. The thing is, he doesn't have Hitler 1939 energy. He has Hitler 1945 energy.
Everyone knows he's a pedophile and a rapist. He's a loser and he'll do anything to distract from that. He would literally start WWIII if he thought it would give him a few more days. He's a coward who's afraid to face what he's done. But he's a coward with nuclear weapons.
I just hope the people around him value their life more than they are loyal to him.

The rewrite of the Sisyphus server continues, I've got all of the GET endpoints and about 60% of all the endpoints finished overall. Some initial testing on the `/workers` and `/queue` endpoints show some worrying results from the old version and some great results from the new version. The `/workers` endpoint started throwing errors at about 800 RPS on the Python/Flask version (the old one), the rewrite is showing around 4800 RPS (Golang/Gin). The `/queue` endpoint doesn't show a…

99% of stakeholder "ideas" are just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest.
Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling. Strategy becomes dominated by the overriding need to make the good number go up.

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞
* The word “not” is missing in the original, surely an editorial mistake?

"So imagine the Brownstone startup puts 50 pods in one big room. Once they rent pod #1, that person appears to have the right to the entire room. Renting pods #2 through #50 could violate Section 1950. If they do, they are double letting, and 'every tenant in the building, under the same landlord' could withhold rent for as long as the 'double letting' continues." 👀

On the occasion of ice’s latest killing: Local police MUST engage, detain and arrest ice. There is no better option.
