Patients are showing up ‘later and sicker’ for abortion care as more US states adopt bans and significant restrictions

Providers are seeing more patients in need of abortions later in pregnancy as abortion bans and restrictions proliferate in US states, all while access to insurance falls.

Those bans and restrictions have also meant that later abortion care access has grown over the past decade in a handful of haven states and cities.

Small business owners have watched large companies fumble – and sometimes succeed – with AI, and then use what works

One thing I’ve learned about corporate America is that what it succeeds at ultimately trickles down to benefit small businesses. Bleeding-edge technologies such as the internet, mobile transactions and the cloud were first perfected by large organizations – government and corporations – and now they’re available to the masses at a much lower cost and with better reliability.

The good news is that it’s also the same for what they fail at.

The Jeffrey Epstein associate’s apparent last hope would be a Hail Mary from Donald Trump – a presidential pardon

Ghislaine Maxwell seems to be all but guaranteed to have run out of legal avenues to challenge her conviction for her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of girls and young women with perhaps her lingering hopes of freedom resting on a pardon from the Trump administration.

Paul Engelmayer, a Manhattan federal court judge, last week rejected Maxwell’s contention that her constitutional rights were violated at trial and sentencing for her crimes. “Maxwell’s claims are all meritless and all or almost all are frivolous,” Engelmayer wrote in his ruling on the former British socialite’s legal gambit.

An estimated 237 people have been rescued but 18 are missing after accident off the coast of northern Cyprus

• Fatalities after ferry carrying nearly 270 capsizes off northern Cyprus

Republican Turkish party MP Sami Ozuslu told the Guardian late on Sunday that the death toll had risen. “Sadly we are now hearing that there are nine or ten dead,” he said.

The families of passengers were converging on hospitals in Nicosia, Kyrenia and elsewhere, desperate for news of loved ones, he added.

Rosenheim police detain 27-year-old German man after woman, 31, killed outside train station early on Sunday

A man has been detained in Germany on suspicion of the fatal stabbing of a 31-year-old British woman in Rosenheim early on Sunday morning, local authorities said.

According to Rosenheim police, the woman, who was attacked at the city’s train station, was taken to a nearby hospital where she died from serious injuries.

«1С тормозит» — это не техническое утверждение, а начало спора. Бизнес говорит «тормозит», подрядчик говорит «у нас всё в норме», и обе стороны правы, потому что меряют разное: пользователь меряет секунды до открытия документа, подрядчик — загрузку CPU на сервере.

Спор заканчивается там, где появляются цифры. Проблема в том, что цифры про 1С живут на трёх разных уровнях, и стоимость доступа к ним отличается на порядок. Половина разочарований в мониторинге 1С — от того, что человек ждал цифр третьего уровня, а поставил инструмент первого.

Я собираю мониторинг 1С в составе своей платформы наблюдаемости и за последние месяцы прошёл все три уровня, включая пару очень неочевидных граблей на Windows. Ниже — разбор по уровням: что видно, чего не видно, чем это ловится и где именно молча ломается.

Я сделал этот сайт, потому что исчез другой, который мне нравился. Пять лет спустя у него горстка пользователей, один платящий клиент — и он научил меня большему, чем любой туториал.

В 2017 году я готовился к IELTS, и мне дали совет, который дают всем: смотрите фильмы с субтитрами.

Этот совет отправил меня искать инструмент вполне определённого рода. Не стриминг — поиск по фразам. Вводишь предложение и видишь, как его произносят, в контексте, в том фильме, где оно попалось. Я такой нашёл. Эстонский сайт, судя по домену .ee, название которого я начисто забыл.

Он ничего у себя не хранил. Он собирал встроенные плееры с видеохостингов и делал их доступными для поиска. Это различие имело значение и технически, и юридически, и тогда я особо не задумывался ни о том, ни о другом — мне просто показалось, что это остроумно.

Потом сайт закрылся. Без объявлений, без объяснений. Я несколько лет искал замену и не нашёл.

В 2021 году я решил сделать свой.

• Striker’s second-half penalty ensures 1-0 win at Aberdeen

• St Mirren 3-3 Motherwell; Celtic 2-0 Falkirk on Saturday

Lawrence Shankland’s second-half penalty gave Derek McInnes and Rangers some much-needed respite with a 1-0 win against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

The tale since the Rangers manager arrived from Hearts in the summer has been one of constant change in formation and personnel amid exits from two European competitions and a poor start to the Premiership campaign. The Ibrox side turned in a better performance than many of late and in the 69th minute the captain, Shankland, a former Don, converted a spot-kick won by Djeidi Gassama.

Authorities say 237 people rescued and search under way for those who remain unaccounted for

At least eight people have died and 18 people are missing after a ferry carrying nearly 270 passengers and crew capsized off the coast of Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, local authorities said.

The territory’s prime minister, Ünal Üstel, told the state-run TRT news channel on Sunday that 237 people had been rescued. A search was under way for those who remained unaccounted for.

Я в одиночку делаю и эксплуатирую платформу мониторинга: метрики, логи и трейсы для чужой инфраструктуры, мультитенантно, на VictoriaMetrics cluster / VictoriaLogs / VictoriaTraces, FastAPI, nginx и Postgres. Прод — один сервер: Debian 12, 4 CPU, 8 ГБ, четырнадцать контейнеров.

За несколько месяцев эксплуатации у меня накопилось десятка полтора отказов под нагрузкой. Ни один из них не был найден классическим нагрузочным тестом. Все — найдены постфактум, по логам, по счётчику рестартов контейнеров и по панели трафика у хостера.

Это статья не про то, «как правильно проводить НТ» — таких статей достаточно. Она про то, какие именно виды нагрузки ломают систему приёма телеметрии, почему привычный сценарий «загоним 1000 rps через k6 и посмотрим на перцентили» проходит мимо всех трёх, и как выглядит воспроизводимый прогон, который эти отказы ловит.

Все цифры ниже — с живого сервера, не синтетика.

Widely used chemical TBBPA may present a danger to US public, and especially children, independent research finds

The Environmental Protection Agency is manipulating safety data around a highly toxic flame retardant deployed across the US economy, public health advocates allege.

The chemical, TBBPA, has been found in dust in US homes and in consumer goods at combined levels that independent research has found may present a danger to the public, and especially small children.

Democratic Senate nominee is eager to push past series of controversies involving allegations of antisemitism

Michigan’s Democratic US senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the state’s Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel’s actions in the Middle East.

“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,” El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.”

US republicans are tarnishing their plant-eating opponents at every opportunity. Yet vegans are perfectly suited to hold power – let me count the ways

Cool news, fellow soy boys and girls – we’ve been promoted from feeble, tofu-eating wokerati to dangerous radicals unfit for public office. Politico reports that US Republicans have started throwing “vegan” around as a tactic to tarnish their political opponents. “He’s a vegan,” Trump warned of Democratic Texas senatorial candidate James Talarico in May, while Talarico’s opponent, state attorney-general Ken Paxton, is trying to get the nickname “Tofu Talarico” to stick. Paxton also called him “a vegan who thinks God is non-binary”, which I find hilarious as a political put-down – give the man a Netflix special. (Sidenote: I investigated, and according to the Catholic catechism, God is “neither man nor woman”.)

Republicans have also been digging up past pro-plant-based statements from Colorado congressional candidate Manny Rutinel: a campaign committee press secretary described him on X as “a far-left vegan activist who wants to end animal agriculture”, posting an old pic of Rutinel bare-chested and wearing a Peta anti-meat banner. Other Dems have also been accused of, erm, liking animals and eating plants: Arizona congressional candidate Amish Shah has been attacked for his “wacky liberal agenda pushing vegan policies” and Lindsay James in Iowa drew heat for merely supporting the idea of “meatless May”.

When I testified against Mladić at his trial in The Hague, I saw the unrepentant face of a mass murderer. That face and his legacy still haunt Serbia today

Men age and die, but in the Balkans, time stands still and is stuck. General Ratko Mladić, who died in prison in The Hague on Thursday aged 84, remains a hero in the Republika Srpska statelet – the Serbian half of dismembered Bosnia that he carved out with a hurricane of violence between 1992 and 1995 – and in Serbia itself.

Too many Serbs in whose name Mladić carried out his mass murder of other ethnicities – mainly Muslim Bošniak and Roman Catholic Croats – adore him and mourn his passing.

The movement against datacenters is uniting Americans because they perfectly illustrate how a few individuals hold all the power to control decisions that affect our lives

Bryce Gustafson has been knocking on doors in Indiana for more than a decade. The lead organizer with Citizens Action Coalition (CAC), a consumer and environmental organization, he usually encounters a mix of reactions when he’s out canvassing; whatever issue he’s talking about, there’s always at least a few people on the other side. But at a recent festival in the rural town of Monrovia, Indiana, he was struck by an unusual spirit of unity.

He was there about a proposed datacenter, a 550-acre (222-hectare) Google project in this small town of 1,600 people. “I had 50 people I talked to,” Gustafson told me. “Nobody wanted that datacenter in their community. And at least a half a dozen people came up to me to say, ‘Hey, I voted for Trump. What the heck’s he doing, supporting these things?’”
