it's pretty fucking hilarious that Trump had no plans to attend Barron's graduation and was just using it to bitch about how "unfair" he's treated but now he has to

Protesting has always been dangerous. It’s a constitutional right. But if one person crosses the line, cops use it as an excuse to brutalize everyone present.

Protect yourself. @CrimethInc has you covered (pun intended). Here’s a handy guide on how to stay safe in the streets.

Justices Told Error Admission Merits Respect In Capital Case
Attorneys general from across the country implored the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to give the "utmost" deference to Oklahoma's confession that prosecutorial misconduct led to the wrongful conviction of a death row inmate and to overturn a state court ruling that rebuffed the admission and upheld the conviction.

Today in 2006, 18 years ago: the Great American Strike takes place. Millions of Latino immigrants go on strike, joining in a labor boycott both in that country and throughout Latin America and marches against immigration laws with the aim of recognizing their right as persons, to work, to the education of their children and to medical services and legalizing them through comprehensive immigration reform in the country.

Turns out that #Microsoft a big customer of #Azure #HPC. This is a great example of that; Surface laptops are engineered in Azure.

The fact that the public can also use some of that HPC capability (Genoa-X, InfiniBand, etc) is incidental in some ways.

This article was illuminating. I too will stop using the term “pro-Palestinian” and “pro-Israel.” You're either an advocate for peace for all or an agitator of war.

Pro- #Palestine protests and encampments have popped up at dozens of universities across the US this month.

Pro-Palestinian protesters are, by-and-large, asking their universities to divest from companies with ties to #Israel . Their calls come amid Israel’s offensive in #Gaza , which is believed to have killed more than 34,000 Palestinians.

I’m proud to be celebrating the rich and diverse history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders this #AANHPIHeritageMonth! I hope you’ll join me in combating discrimination against this incredible community, as well as shining a light on what makes us special. What a time to be #AANHPI and proud!

- Discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40227736
- Summary: A Denial of Wallet amplification attack on AWS S3 can result in significant cost discrepancies between the data transferred and billed, with the difference being as high as a factor of 50. This issue occurs due to AWS billing based on data cached internally instead of the actual data transferred. Large files hosted on S3, especially those accessible via range requests, are at risk, making it essential to create cost alerts and restrict data access as preventative measures.
