In this particular case, the main stream parties did not take part (i.e. field candidates) because the current MP (Farage) resigned just to retake his own seat - basically trying to distract from his dodgy dealings with crypto bros and conv

On Debian, install rsyslogd instead - it's that simple.

And still does. I generally replace journald with rsyslogd on systemd setups.

And kids. I recently happened to see a pic on a kid's phone of him holding 5 vapes and a tin of snus, when challenged on it he said it was an AI-generated fake.

Jaw-dropping stuff, looking forward to pointing 9-year old daughter (in "Future Astrophysicist" t-shirt) at it! Possibly a naive question, after surfing the image for a while I didn't find any einstein rings (or arcs) - are t

Shhh...you'll alert the models :) Totally agree though, anyone with a vague understanding of how bikes works ignores the pelican because they know the bike is unrideable in the first place.

Indeed, decline appears to accelerate significantly in 2023 so seems likely that's AI helping things along.

We only do it for one-off age verification, not stuff that requires repeat authentication (those we simply don't use).

As a purely tactical measure, we use the same older person (me) for age verification for all family members - zero failures so far and it poisons the well.

Absolutely this will work, it's all over social media. Remember, in WWII Carrots were the secret weapon used to defeat the night fighters. [Todo: Add link to Poe's Law]

First place to look when this sort of thing happens is pprune.org - lots of pilots on there, often with specific knowledge of the aircraft type and/or of the incident itself. In this case: https://www.pprune.org/acciden

For the DIYers, it's simple to get an SCD4x sensor and hook it to a pi, arduino, ESP32 etc (then use CC to create a live web interface). I did this after trying an Inkbird CO2 monitor, which gets reasonable scores in reviews and wantin

I get he's not popular. None the less it would be nice to see more nuanced comments. In my experience IPO's often follow a short-period of upside (where those who already have shares gain some liquidity, i.e. actual cash) followed

Yes, when it makes the front page of the FT (2 days ago) you know there's some interesting stuff going on. The whole article is worth a read (I didn't known JD Vance's career was "largely bankrolled by Thiel"). >

As a strong supporter of Ukraine, I would say ultimately wars are won or lost by economic forces (the side that can't afford it any more loses). That's how the USSR lost the Cold War, and all I can hope is that all of Europe reall

Something based on the principles of 'New'? (not clear on the details of how Show HN works, does it automatically appear?). Just shove entries under 'New' and let the group decide what is "Show HN"-worthy.

Depends on the definition of slowly - thousands of photons per second upwards (and detectors are so sensitive these days that makes seeing easy). Lots of articles about on the subject, given the potential uses of this system. https:/&

The light is produced by electrons combining with holes, so the size of the material doesn't come into it (unlike an antenna). I've personally pushed* a single rubidium atom about in a quantum computer and watched it move by emitt

It's pretty easy to do, a Pi (of any kind) and an IR LED that sends the power button codes for the common TV brands will do it (since it's often a toggle, it'll also turn TV's on if they are off). RF remotes are harder t
