While everyone is rightfully concerned about ICE’s new ‘Shock Gloves’, it’s important to know that shock devices have been used in prisons and schools for disabled children for years.

The Gloves killed an inmate in Kentucky after a guard held them to his body for well over a minute.

Disabled children are exposed to electric shocks to ‘correct’ their behaviour.

ICE should not have access to these weapons, but we must also fight to get them out of schools and jails.

We must refuse to accept atrocities.

@jwp i'm working on developing another hash function that was originally based on it but has since diverged upon realizing that cryptographic indifferentiability is not an ideal goal for integrity checking

@nileane I figured as much. Love listening to your all's show and I hope you can figure out what to do next. Ideally, you'll be able to split it off into its own thing.

I'm glad that you are standing by your principles, and I know I'm just some rando saying this, but happy to support you and see where you end up next in the tech community. What happened was awful and I think you reacted correctly. At the least, I can still follow you here.

Good luck!

Groot kritiekpunt voor mij is wel de aandacht voor Gaza vs. Oekraïne vergelijken op basis van kilometers afstand en de eigen veiligheid: bij Gaza ontstaat de aandacht juist óók vanwege onze eigen medeverantwoordelijkheid van dat conflict en het actief uit de wind houden van een agressor.

Dear Friends, Another way to look at #vaccine #misinformation. The cost per case of #measles in the United States. About $60k per case. From CIDRAP: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/each-measles-case-2025-us-outbreak-cost-almost-60000-study-estimates-or-134-million-total
The cost of a single dose of MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine? About $3 to $10 depending on who is buying it.

I don't know what's going on here. I'm very tired. I just kept seeing a tongue. I think it's saying "bleurgh!"

Whereas I am saying goodnight. Sleep well all, when night reaches you 💤

“Even though I have felt very supported by my own reporting chain and leadership, the union is about protecting all of my coworkers, some of whom might not be as lucky as I have been with their team placements and roles. I am happy to stand in solidarity with them so that we can really focus our energy on building the best product for the movement that we can!” -- Wikimedia worker, name withheld

AI did not discover a cancer vaccine. Scientists discovered it because their research was supported and funded.

I wish.

This is the back yard of a building site - no big machinery getting back there.

Also, these are the leftovers - the trees that were taken down in the "build envelope" had their stumps and roots ripped out by an excavator. These guys are wrapped around the native gums that we want to keep, hence doing it by hand.

I'm delighted to discover:

... listing how you can set dependency cooldowns across various package ecosystems.

If you're the sort of person who's less interested in fixing individual problems than in causing entire classes of problem to not exist, a seven-day cooldown default will do that for you.

Rep. Casar: “ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin.

His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota.

He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert.

Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.”
