A personality disorder have nothing to do with Downs. One is a genetic disorder and the other is a maladaptive pattern of affect.
Re:Private Jet plane crashes in Florida on Monday November 02, 2026 @08:30AM (#50336578)
The private jet carries up to 3.5 tons of fuel and weighs over 10 tons at take off. A Kalibr cruise missile is maximum 500kg of explosives and the heaviest variant is 2.3 tons over all.

Its not surprising at all that the jet makes a huge hole in the ground. Jet fuel is more energetic than RDX, while converting that energy slower. So both the chemical and kinetic energy is much higher with the jet then with a russian cruise missile. If anything the crater is surprisingly small.

Maybe? Its impossible to tell. I'm not going to create a user in the hope that there is a subscription service in there somewhere.
Re:We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4 on Thursday October 29, 2026 @10:22AM (#50289584)
Unrelated to Large 4, but why is it so hard to give money to Mistral? Now they finally have a model that might be worth using, but I cannot for my life figure out how to give them money and be allowed to use their model. Its really shouldn't take more than a couple of clicks to get to a payment option.

edit: I can see that I'm alone in thinking a company should communicate their business offers publicly, sorry for the question.

This headline has been relevant since 2001.

Re:Show HN: TitleArt – Make text like it's 1997 on Monday October 26, 2026 @12:32PM (#50246618)
I remember a lot of critique of clipart and the general atrocious amateur graphic design of the time (funeral invitations in comic sans and such). Tufte said PowerPoint Is Evil in 2005 and there was a whole public discussion of the ills of the ms office tools and their negative impact on communication.

Its an old classic using an election to kill off or stall projects in ministries or public institutions. I bet some bureaucrat or Statens It doesn't want the trouble of this moving along.
That one gets my blood boiling every time.
Re:Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier on Monday October 19, 2026 @02:24PM (#50155983)
Was it two years ago, or even longer, that Akhmat troops claimed Ukrainian drones tried to abduct their men in the field? Who knows, it might end up actually happen one day. Wild.

Pretty naughty by Lund University. Sure they took part in this research (a single author). But its primarily driven and financed by a danish foundation, the danish Copenhagen University, and danish museums.

Guess that is good work from the Lund communication team.

People like you are so dicusting.
Re:3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit on Sunday October 11, 2026 @05:03AM (#50041137)
You people keep thinking this kind of reasoning is some kind of gotcha. It really isn't. All citizens of the US carry responsibility for the crimes you did over the last half century.

Russian air defence equipment bad, organised even worse, and has been severely degraded over 4 years now.
Re:`123456' password used in Danish CPR data breach on Saturday October 10, 2026 @07:38AM (#50031890)
Yeah that is a pretty weird opinion. Who cares about if he gets fired. He should be charged with criminal negligence and face prison time. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and its always possible to quit.
Re:`123456' password used in Danish CPR data breach on Saturday October 10, 2026 @07:03AM (#50031691)
Just because a task is hard it should never absolve anything. Guy could just have quit if he didn't want the responsibility.
Re:`123456' password used in Danish CPR data breach on Saturday October 10, 2026 @06:29AM (#50031479)
Its interesting, while private companies just blast our data out there, I cannot install the software I need to do my work because the state IT provider blocks it on security grounds. Its all very tiresome.
Ideas are not found. But its a good way to show the readers not to waste time with this essay.
If you don't understand the differences between journalistic considerations of a news organisation versus a government, then up is down and nothing matters. Its a completely unserious position you have.
Re:Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:16AM (#50021713)
No, only Wagner. Redut is controlled by GRU, but its not financed by the russian state. And beside fighting in Ukrain they still provide security for the russian oil industry. Like how US mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan took orders from MOD, while being private entries.
Re:Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:10AM (#50021605)
You frequent bad sites then. Don't make a conspiracy based on your own bad media consumption.
Re:Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:08AM (#50021584)
Backups don't matter at all if you can destroy the hardware. Yandex is not rebuilding this at meaningful price, and if they do Ukrainians just burn it down again.
Re:Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:05AM (#50021536)
Russian companies have had mercenaries of different kinds for some time now. Im sure Redut has anti air batteries.
