Because it apparently needs to be said:

There are always better options than taking your own life

If you are in crisis, please talk to someone who can help - if you don't feel comfortable talking with close friends or family - you can either call 988 in the United States or Canada, or find a relevant local resource via IASP

If you're aware of someone or a company violating sanctions, you can earn up to 20% of the fines as a whistleblower.

Considering the fines start from 100,000 per transaction, you could easily retire on a single report.

I am disappointed this doesn't begin or end with The Elements by Tom Lehrer

Holy propaganda batman!

The list of articles on that website is...extremely focused on one subject only.

Don't fuck with sanctions. 160 transactions is 16 million minimum in strict liability fines, beyond the over 2 million of revenue already forfeited.

What is it with Islamic terrorism and symbolic anniversaries? Is it part of a conscious effort to push memorial activities out of the news cycle? Or is it purely to spread terror?

So you hope that Hamas and Hezbollah continue firing rockets at civilians?

Headlines are sampled randomly for the first few hours of an article going live to measure exposure. The headline that gets the most clicks wins.

There are a lot of sites that do this.

It causes headaches when it comes to social. Usually the original headline is preserved in the url, but sometimes they'll use a unique id and then include the editorialized headline option so they can track which headline you clicked on.

Also editorial decisions on wording based on pushback, legal threats, etc.

Locks are only held during system calls. Process termination is handled on the system call boundary.

You're projecting windows kernel insanity where it doesn't belong.

What the duck Microsoft bullshit is this?

There is no concept of locked files in extfs, much less inside the kernel. Resource locks and unkillable processes is some windows bullshit that no sane operating system would touch with a ten foot pole.

That's...actually not a bad idea. Take the user-domain name pairs and weigh the edges between domains by the number of unique users who posted from both domains.

For producing clusters from the resulting graph should be easy, but aside from just saying "these are similar websites" does it really say much?

You could do something similar with comment/upvote/downvote based linkages - maybe they'll have some deeper semantic meaning
