  • There are a number of indicators for where someone is from that might be visible to site operators, far beyond a simple IP address. You could try an incognito window (because cookies), as well as changing your region settings.

    Beyond that, try spinning up a VM (VMware has a free version, as do many others). Install a fresh OS on it, always pretending to be in whatever your destination country is. Install the (e.g) UK keyboard, select a UK timezone, etc. Install your VPN right away, before opening a browser.

    I just want to add that the crash will take down the entire economy, not just AI and tech companies.

    Simply by subtracting AI companies from the equation, the US is already in a pretty substantial recession. The process of them crashing out will make that even worse.




  • There are a number of reasons why someone can die from homicide in the medical sense, but not the legal sense. For instance, self-defense.

    Most places have some variation on these types of homicide:

    1. Aggravated homicide, where the murder was planned
    2. 2nd degree homicide, where it wasn’t planned but could reasonably be foreseen (e.g. savagely beating someone with a bat)
    3. Voluntary manslaughter/negligent homicide, such as knowingly driving a car with malfunctioning brakes
    4. Involuntary manslaughter, such as losing control of your car because of ice.

    There’s also situations where it isn’t a crime at all, but would still be medically homicide. I mentioned self-defense, but someone could get shot by a hunter because they were in the woods without an orange vest. There’s also certain cases where it’s legal for police to shoot someone, due to an active threat.

    All of these would be medically homicide, but only some would be called murder.



  • I asked a coworker about this recently, but for a traditional school.

    If the snow is reasonably predicted, the teachers will prepare a lesson plan to have classes online. If there is a sudden emergency, they will not have a lesson plan ready for online classes, and school will just be canceled (i.e. a snow day).
