#tldr #news #report on another #attempted #assassination of a #politician and short of a #random #failure would have #killed the #vice #president of #argentia https://youtube.com/watch?v=k10LLo3PcXQ This comes not long after an #assassination in #japan . The last time we had so many #highprofile #assassinations was #wwi and #wwii .
Ouch, massive #train #cancellations due to a #scheduling #it #failure https://www.ns.nl/en/travel-information/.. Apparently it could be due to #database #corruption or some form of #malware ...
Turns out that the recent #starlink #launch caused 40 #satellites to #deorbit due a #failure to #initialise - something cased by increased #drag as a result of the #geostorm https://www.spacex.com/updates/
Not sure I agree with #christophbartneck that the #frontier #journal #marketing is a complete #failure https://www.bartneck.de/2022/02/04/front.. Sure, a person in a #costume is not #realistic of the #job , but I suspect people buried in #academic #papers would be an awful #ad . I too am #dubious that their #ad will reach the right people on #youtube though, but I wouldn't be #surprised if you could actually #target them - it correct targetted him after all.
Web3 is likely to be a #failure https://networked.substack.com/p/web3-i-.. #cyrpto #blockchain is a #solution seeking a #problem ... And not even a great one at that.
The #energy #crisis is not getting any better, especially not in the #eu https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/eu-off.. It should not be this difficult to keep the #lights on in such a well #developed area, this is a massive #failure in #leadership . Believe it or not, #germany is *still* planning to #shutdown their #nuclear #plants - removing their own #energysecurity . Damn.
Yesterday I went for a #run - it was a bit of a #failure with me barely hitting 1.5 #miles ... My #knees are still not in great shape. On the plus side I think I understand why - the pavement I'm running on is angled some maybe 10 degrees and it's putting more strain on one side. I ran the other way around the block and noticed it wore the opposite knee in the same way! I think I will have to start alternating loop directions to get even wear. Now just waiting for some super #keto #recovery ...
This #proposal #abstract is often looked at as a #failure in #ai - but I think it was actually a great #success http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/histo.. In just two months, some of the biggest names got together and really fleshed out the #complexity of #artificial #intelligence - and made tonnes of advance in further understanding how hard the problem really is. In this way, people could make better estimates of how difficult the #problemspace really is.
If you want direct evidence of growing #nationalism in #china under the #ccp - then look no further than #japan 's #tokyo #olympics https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-chin.. Anything less than #gold is seen as #failure - something that eventually occurs under #communism as any #ideology so strictly abided to eventually welcomes the #religious - who begin self governing and purity testing. *Watch this space: These are dangerous markers.* Consider yourself warned.
A thought provoking #article on the #lotuseaters about #china 's #threegorgesdam https://www.lotuseaters.com/thou-shalt-n.. If you check out #simulations of the #dam #failure - it would be absolutely devastating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjHWkCdZ.. The reason for the interest is that there has been massive #flooding in #china - and reports of several #upstream dam failures. There is also a #typhoon on the way, potentially a catastrophic series of events.
