KFSM 5Newsonline: Report: Walmart heir donates $500k to group working against Arkansas education amendment ( www.5newsonline.com )

The receiving organization is known as Arkansans for Students and Educators and was formed on April 1, 2024. A statement of organization filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission says that the group was formed "For the disqualification and/or defeat of The Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2024."...

The amendment seeks to "require identical academic standards and identical standards for accreditation, including assessments of students and schools based on such standards, for any school that receives State or local funds," among other things, including:

  • The guarantee of voluntary universal access to pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds, afterschool & summer programming, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200% of the Federal Poverty Line.
  • Establish the minimum quality standards ordered by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2002 in its Lakeview decision.

Imagine peeling off a cool $500k to fuck over childhood education.

But really, everyone gets some blame. The "employers", the workers, and the government that allows this kind of things to be legal.

While highly abused, internships are narrowly defined by law as educational and not the same as volunteering. I've also never heard of high schools requiring them. Usually a requirement for some college/uni degrees.

Frustratingly vague for a Slashdot write-up.

“These brothers allegedly committed a first-of-its-kind manipulation of the Ethereum blockchain by fraudulently gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victims,” said Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) New York Field Office.

Good to know the prosecutors have an understanding of what they're prosecuting... Not even a single mention of MEV in the DoJ press release.

Because it's not the public mempool. It's a private MEV mempool that people pay to add their transactions to for special priority or conditional inclusion. For instance, asshole profiteers can use it to sandwich attack traders to siphon off "market inefficiencies" or some people just want immediate front of the line inclusion in the next block.

Presumably they exploited something in this MEV system (completely unrelated to the Ethereum protocol) that allowed them to see the pool and they shouldn't have. Wish I knew more but everything I read was incredibly vague and misleading.

treadful ,
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

I'm sure, yes. If you submit to a public mempool, you have no guarantees that your two transactions will land on either side of the target transaction in the same block (They likely won't). You need to leverage conditional transactions with MEV so you guarantee the miner will select and position your transactions where you need them. In this case, before and after the target transaction.

Check out the Ethereum Foundation's page on MEV for more info.

I don’t understand why Republicans are so strongly on Israel’s side at this point. I think almost everyone was on Israel’s side on Oct 7th but since then there have been over 35,000 Palestinian deaths, including women and children, and their infrastructure has been obliterated. Israeli losses since Oct 7th only come to 260 soldiers.

Because it's turned from a real issue with it's real horrors and complexities into a partisan/cultural wedge issue.

Why would anyone suggest nuking Gaza? Oct 7th was terrible but it wasn’t perpetrated by the millions of people in Gaza. It was perpetrated by the terrorist group that rules Gaza and, at this point, it seems they aren’t much of a threat.

Might be important to note that it's still an ongoing thing, with civilians still captive or missing. So talking about it in the past tense might be missing an important reason for Israel's extreme behavior.

This isn't a moonshot at all. Checkout these eVinci microcreactors by Westinghouse. They're currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US. They're modular too so you just add more to scale. Pretty wild.

@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

I first learned about it with this project in Butte, Montana, which is in development. They also have a page describing a deployment in Saskatchewan. I don't know if this was completed yet but it's been in progress for years. There's also a lot of other planned deployments I'm finding.

I thought I saw some active deployment on the east coast last time I looked into this but haven't been able to immediately find an example. Either way, it's at least in progress, has regulatory backing, and is not just imaginary.

treadful ,
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

I’d say it’s imaginary if they don’t exist. Your claim that, “They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.” isn’t really accurate, is it?

I'd consider signed agreements as part of the "being deployed" process but yeah, I haven't been able to find evidence of any currently active deployments. I wouldn't call it a "moonshot" though when there's so many in the works is all.

Not really sure how NuScale is relevant as that's (or at least the project in the article is) utility-level power and not really the same thing.
