Charlie Trumbull explains why the Trump administration's killings of people at sea alleged to be drug traffickers are "serious crimes under international law":
"The strikes likely also constitute crimes against humanity under international criminal law, as Luis Moreno Ocampo, who served as the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) first chief prosecutor, concluded in early November."
Members of Congress are wrong to call the strikes war crimes in the absence of an armed conflict, but the strikes are serious crimes under international law.
"This would expose Trump administration officials and service members complicit in the attacks to heightened legal exposure in foreign courts and international tribunals. There is also precedent for prosecuting the systematic killing of drug traffickers by government officials as a crime against humanity, with the recent arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, by the ICC."

Prosecutors will charge Rob Reiner’s son Nick with 2 counts of #murder in killing of his parents
Prosecutors plan to file the charges, 2 counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders, later Tuesday. They will also include a special allegation that he used a dangerous weapon, a knife.
#NickReiner did not resist when he was arrested hours after the couple was found dead from apparent stab wounds in their home. Reiner was arrested in the Exposition Park area near USC, about 14 miles from the crime scene, police said.
Reiner had been expected to make an initial court appearance earlier Tuesday, but was not brought from the jail to the courthouse for medical reasons & an appearance will not come before Wednesday.
Mocht je nog illusies hebben over wat privacy betekent onder Amerikaans recht, je Google search queries kunnen zonder gerechtelijk bevel opgevraagd worden.
Maar, verrassing, verrassing, ik denk dat een officier van justitie dat ook zou kunnen bij een Nederlandse zoekmachine. Ik krijg maar niet duidelijk wat de grenzen zijn van 126nd van wetboek van strafvordering: wetten.overheid.nl/jci1.3:c:BW…
naïef als ik ben dacht ik altijd dat wetten duidelijke regels waren. Maar eigenlijk gebruiken we hoge priesters, die we rechters noemen, om deze wetten te duiden.
@sandorspruit @JeroenBaten Als regels zwart/wit waren, hadden we verder geen juristen nodig. Duiden is de kern van hun taak, ook in context. Erg belangrijk. En als je de wet te concreet maakt, dan blijf je 'm om de haverklap aanpassen. Dat gaat niet werken.
@humanista Opinion: someday, Servo will probably be a thing. How soon depends on who funds it. Thus, we may wish that Servo takes longer to become a thing.
Yes and... is the Manifest v3 fiasco part of Chromium's browser engine or just the wrapping program's extension engine? Asking to hit the "yes" button harder
I care about my browser engine mostly like I care about my fridge. I have to think about it once in a while, but I expect it to work well so I can stop paying attention to it
I indirectly care - I care that there remains more than one viable engine because I don't like what could happen if one company or entity wound up with too much control of web standards.
Having lived through the Internet Explorer years, at the very least I care about there being more than one.
Using Linux as my daily driver I still needed to dual boot Windows because many web sites only worked in Explorer, and because I needed to make sure that any web site I developed worked in Explorer. And that was just one of many troubles caused by the Explorer monopoly.
I don't really get the question. DO I care as in does it matter to me which engine it uses? Not really. But do I want the maintainers of the open source engines that run my web browser to be paid? Absolutely.

The image depicts two humanoid figures rendered in a glowing golden light, appearing as holographic projections. They stand facing each other, with their arms outstretched and hands nearly touching above a circular platform emitting a bright, warm glow. The figures are heavily adorned with detailed, ornate armor and flowing robes, and their forms have a distinct, textured appearance. The figures are located within a dimly lit, cavernous space with rocky walls and a textured floor. On the left side of the image, a vertical, cylindrical structure with glowing purple elements is visible, and the background is blurred and indistinct, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere.

We have a PhD opportunity reopened now for someone interested in developing their 3D laser mapping skills.
Specifically, the project aims to map cave ceilings at sites across Australia, to identify water flow pathways through limestone from the surface to the groundwater.
The researcher will join a team of climate and groundwater scientists on the project ‘caves and their stalagmites: linking climate to groundwater recharge’.
