The point being made is that the death penalty does not serve a rehabilitation purpose for a pretty obvious reason.

Some of it, but much is lost to drag. They do have to limit speed at all times.


This is the worse outcome, and the more likely one.


Seems appropriate to me. Person was holding a gun while doing a robbery which greatly amplifies the danger inherent in the crime they were doing.

On the flip side, I knew someone who interrupted a car burglary and was murdered by the burglar. Imagine what might happen if someone came upon the guy you know of who was doing a robbery while holding a stolen gun?

The person you knew made a lot of choices that led to this, any of which had they not chosen to do would have led to not being an armed robber: don't do a robbery, don't steal a gun, don't do a robbery while holding a gun.


IANAL, but my understanding is that breaking into an unoccupied car isn't robbery (but it might be theft and/or criminal damage). Wouldn't being convicted of armed robbery without committing a robbery be a serious injustice?


He stole the gun, so it was robbery. I feel like an armed robbery is one where you bring a weapon, which makes the robbery more dangerous. This guy was looking for cash and found a gun, so "armed robbery." The comment above claiming that the charge is justified does make sense, but I disagree with it. I'm also not a lawyer.


What I mean is that if no victim was present there couldn't have been the violence or threat of violence necessary to turn the theft/larceny into robbery:[0]

> Robbery, in turn, was simply a "compound" form of larceny. For Blackstone, "compound larciny is such as has all the properties of former, but is accompanied with one of, or both, the aggravations of a taking from one's house or person," id. at *240, and "[l]arciny from the person is either privately stealing; or by open and violent assault, which is usually called robbery,"

I'm not really making a judgement about the rights and wrongs of the actual case (because I'm not only not a lawyer, but also not a witness, juror, etc.), but as described it doesn't sound like robbery at all.

Autobiographical?


That isn't happening anymore, and now we also have social media.


"you can’t use them when your application is running on remote environments"

This isn't always the case. Maybe it's really hard in a lot of cases, but it's always not impossible.


I read it as dealing with applications you only get shell access to and can't forward ports.


The ones at the top of the board, especially on the first challenge not only had to have a good algorithm, but also had to get lucky. And of course if you submit too many times to get just as lucky as they did, they ban you. Stupid contest.


"difficult for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft" sounds like quite an understatement.


"The Model Context Protocol is an open standard, open-source framework introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize the way artificial intelligence systems like large language models integrate and share data with external tools, systems, and data sources."


Was REST and JSON not good enough? I thought LLMs were rather capable with JSON.


It is still JSON, it just defines how the JSON should be structured.


But to their point, yes MCPs are optional
