CEO of Russian Fertilizer Firm Found Decapitated Near Kaliningrad - The Moscow Times
Police investigators in Russia’s Kaliningrad region on Monday discovered the decapitated body of the CEO of a local fertilizer company.
The chief executive, Alexei Sinitsyn, is believed to have died by suicide, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Vedomosti business newspaper.
Investigators told state news agencies that Sinitsyn’s body was found with an attached towing cable under a bridge outside the city of Kaliningrad. They said they were establishing the circumstances of his death.
Sinitsyn, 43, was the CEO of K-Potash Service, which has been developing the Nivensky-1 potassium-magnesium deposit in Kaliningrad since 2014. The ambitious project was originally planned to be launched in 2021, but has since been pushed back to 2032.

Taiwan to lose 6.67m workers in two retirement waves
Taiwan is projected to lose a working-age population of about 6.67 million people in two waves of retirement in the coming years, as the nation confronts accelerating demographic decline and a shortage of younger workers to take their place, the Ministry of the Interior said.

That was a PRC policy, don't be ignorant. There were government recommendations to only have two kids, not a regulation, and it was over 60 years ago.
The problem in Taiwan stems mostly from women chafing against patriarchy in a modern world.

Japan sets new record with nearly 100,000 people aged over 100
The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older has risen to a record high of nearly 100,000, its government has announced.Setting a new record for the 55th year in a row, the number of centenarians in Japan was 99,763 as of September, the health ministry said on Friday. Of that total, women accounted for an overwhelming 88%.

Elon Musk calls for dissolution of parliament at far-right rally in London
Tech boss was addressing the ‘unite the kingdom’ protest organised by Tommy Robinson via video link
Elon Musk has called for a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” in the UK while addressing the crowd attending the “unite the kingdom” rally, organised by the far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.
The X owner, who dialled in via a video link and spoke to Robinson while thousands of attenders watched along, also railed against the “woke mind virus” and told the crowd that “violence is coming” and that “you either fight back or you die”.
Speaking at the rally, he said: “I really think that there’s got to be a change of government in Britain. You can’t – we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long. Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held.”

Prediction markets are booming. Oversight is barely there.
When billionaire Bill Ackman suggested on Twitter that Eric Adams could “place a large [Polymarket] bet on Andrew Cuomo and then announce [his] withdrawal” from the New York City mayoral race, he described something that feels profoundly illegal. A politician profiting from non-public knowledge of their own withdrawal from an election surely crosses some line — insider trading? Market manipulation? Election interference? Illegal gambling? Ackman ended his tweet: “There is no insider trading on Polymarket” — not because it doesn’t happen, but because it won’t be charged. He’s right: the Securities and Exchange Commission’s insider trading rules don’t apply here. But that leaves the question: what rules, if any, do?As Ackman says, prediction markets fall outside the SEC’s jurisdiction,a living in a different regulatory world than stock markets where executives get prosecuted for trading on non-public earnings or tipping off friends about upcoming mergers. Unlike crypto’s ongoing turf wars between regulators, prediction markets have a clear home: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which oversees futures, swaps, and other derivatives trading. A farmer worried about a poor wheat harvest can buy futures contracts that rise in value if wheat prices increase, helping to offset the money lost from selling less grain. An airline can buy oil-based futures contracts to offset the risk of jet fuel costs rising, effectively letting them budget fuel at today’s prices even if market rates climb before delivery. Some derivatives markets more closely resemble prediction markets, dealing in events rather than commodities — for instance, ski resorts can hedge against poor snowfall by trading weather-based contracts.
While farmers hedging wheat prices serves a clear economic purpose, prediction markets operate in murkier territory. When people trade on sports games or celebrity relationships, are they engaging in legitimate derivatives trading deserving the same regulatory treatment? Or are platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket essentially gambling sites operating under the veneer of financial markets? And with participants potentially losing big money to better-informed insiders, who’s ensuring these markets stay fair? What happens when prediction markets collide with other issues — from market manipulation to gambling addiction to election integrity?
Prediction markets are booming. Oversight is barely there.

Hundreds of Google AI Workers Were Fired Amid Fight Over Working Conditions
More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month. The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED.In the past few years, Google has outsourced its AI rating work—which includes evaluating, editing, or rewriting the Gemini chatbot’s response to make it sound more human and “intelligent”—to thousands of contractors employed by Hitachi-owned GlobalLogic and other outsourcing companies. Most raters working at GlobalLogic are based in the US and deal with English-language content. Just as content moderators help purge and classify content on social media, these workers use their expertise, skill, and judgment to teach chatbots and other AI products, including Google’s search summaries feature called AI Overviews—the right responses on a wide range of subjects. Workers allege that the latest cuts come amid attempts to quash their protests over issues including pay and job insecurity.
These workers, who often are hired because of their specialist knowledge, had to have either a master’s or a PhD to join the super rater program, and typically include writers, teachers, and people from creative fields.

Rep. Sarah McBride will not support us queers when we need it most
Rep. Sarah McBride [D], the only openly trans member of Congress, voted in support of "Honoring the Legacy" of Charlie Kirk
"scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" isn't some saying born out of ignorance or a failure to understand nuance, it is painfully accurate. when McBride won her election i lost a friendship after scoffing over her victory because of her Zionism and commitment to Israel. apparently, as a non-binary trans person, i should simply shut up and count her win as a trans goal reached.
today i am vindicated. didn't take long, did it? not even a full year in office and she has shown her true colors. she is incapable of protecting us from Christian authoritarianism because she is a willing participant in its takeover. Charle Kirk spent the last few years demonizing people like her and myself, dehumanizing LGBT Americans, and encouraging the spread of theocratic interpretation of our laws and allegiance to Trump. the rise in younger sycophants and MAGA loyalists can be directly attributed to Charlie Kirk's popularity and closeness to the Trump administration. Kirk was not a mere mouthpiece or figurehead; he wasn't some YouTuber or online guy popular with the kiddos. he was a massive political organizer, and the amount of lies Kirk spread about trans people was immoral, irresponsible, violent, deadly, and deserving of reaction.
Kirk blamed transgender Americans for everything from inflation to moral decay. while appearing on a radio show he wrapped up a comment involving queer people with the following: “someone should’ve just took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and '60s." Kirk also referred to Leviticus 18 as "God's perfect law" when attempting to point out how another Christian was cherry-picking which passages of the Bible to follow (Leviticus 18 calls for stoning gay people to death if you read it as such which Kirk does). and here, transgender Rep. McBride [D], is voting to honor this man; a man who would have her killed through violent stochastic actors operating within the MAGA cult and general conservative fascists at large.
the fear and outrage Charlie Kirk was directly responsible for has done incalculable damage nationwide. McBride is offering the genocide of her own minority group if it keeps her protected and in power. she cannot be trusted and should be shunned by all. she is cowardly and will not help you. i have to leave my state because of the validity people like her are giving transphobic bigots like Kirk.

Tulsi Gabbard did not alert White House before revoking 37 security clearances
Exclusive: White House only realized afterwards that clearances at the CIA and in Congress had been rescinded
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, did not inform the White House that her office was revoking the security clearances of 37 people – including top deputies to the CIA director, John Ratcliffe – before it happened last month, according to three people familiar with matter.
The move caused consternation because it resulted in the White House not having an opportunity to closely vet the list before it became public and there appeared to be no paper trail from the president directing the effort, the people said.
As a result, officials only realized after the fact that Gabbard had managed to pull the security clearances of career CIA officials, at least one of whom was a top adviser to Ratcliffe and had worked on some of the US’s most sensitive military operations, the people said.

The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era
There’s a new iPhone. Again. Improbably, we are on the 17th iteration (give or take) of the product that single-handedly ruins our lives every day with incessant vibrations alerting us to some horrifying calamity, plus every song in the Bruce Springsteen back catalog. Coming up with new features for the never-ending information machines we all keep in our pockets isn’t easy, but this time, Apple managed to develop a big (or should I say small) one. There’s now a thinner iPhone Air, which is being marketed as the thinnest iPhone ever. These gadgets have never exactly been gargantuan, so it’s kind of like identifying the tiniest grain of sand in the desert. Still, people around the world are fascinated by the sheer lack of phone here.Technology, design, and art are all trending toward a certain scarcity model, prepping us for a lack of bells and whistles, as though both your parents are unemployed and they want you to expect fewer trips to Disneyland. Life on Earth feels more and more like the experience of entering a Sweetgreen – beige, spartan and unobtrusive. Sure, iPhones haven’t gotten cheaper, but they have certainly gotten … lesser. The iPhone Air is so small, I feel like I’ll sit on it and it will slide seamlessly up my rectum, never to be seen again. For some, I’m sure losing your device inside your bowels might be a feature, but I think it’s a rather uncomfortable bug.

Promo film for the world’s first home video game console (1972 Odyssey)
In 1972, this must have felt like stepping into the future. TVs had only ever been passive, and suddenly the screen could respond. Families were seeing their living room sets turn into game machines, with paddles controlling little glowing squares.
Now, the overlays look wild. Plastic sheets taped to the glass to turn dots into tennis courts or haunted houses. It’s clumsy. Also brilliant—an early hack to add color and imagination to an otherwise bare signal. You had to supply the magic yourself, which makes it all the more fascinating today.
And the way Magnavox pitched it. What are you going to do when your kids are snowed in? It was sold like a family appliance. Little did they know that this would be revolutionary.

Has anyone already done this and if so what was the prefix you used? We might as well all use the same thing. I'm thinking web+fedi.

Re: Protocol handler?
Are there implementors of web+ap? I'd be interested in adopting.
I assume the fallback behaviour is to just assume https?
Fedilinks website lists 3 MastoAPI clients, but the list is incomplete. I saw Fedilinks being mentioned in changelogs of other clients too.
There was also an Akkoma PR, it was closed by the author: akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/p…. I don't quite understand the reasoning, perhaps @smitten could clarify.
web+ap protocol handler
This is a pass at implementing a web-based protocol handler which could be used to create URLs that reference remote users or posts, but that open locally at your home server.Akkoma Development
Re: Protocol handler?
The PR comments suggest that making the various changes to the backend were too large to justify, and a front-end only approach would be preferred? smitten@key.portend.place
It raises a good point though, where if you serve web+ap://, it's not understood by clients that are not aware of this scheme. If there were a way a client could communicate whether there is a protocol handler registered, then the server could tailor its response.

Glad to see more people having this idea! The problems we ran into were in helping the browser understand the address and know where to forward. Each server implements lookup routes differently, so there's not necessarily a generic path that you can trust is available on https on the person's home server, even if you know their home server origin. So in some ways the feature should be offered by your home server software, maybe offering a website that does the handler registration to its known lookup/redirect address.
But that is limiting in a few ways. It's a lot of extra steps for each person to do (browsers' default UI for registering protocols is not obvious or easy). It doesn't carry over to different devices, and if you have more than one home server in some way, you are back dealing with that not-great browser UI to pick which handler you want.
In general people are more accustomed to registering protocols to apps they have installed, especially phone apps. It's much easier to register them there and you don't have to have approval flow UI, but taking that approach moves this whole served handler route out of the backend again, so we have to start thinking more along the lines of web+ap-compatible servers that handler clients know how to call or bounce to.

in reply to missfrizzle • • •You're right. It's most likely only more "humane" for the witnesses and easier on the perpetrators.
Not only do they not witness a decapitation in a truly botched case, but they also don't witness shaking of the legs and similar movements in case of a "short drop".
