Do ataku doszło podczas spotkania wyborczego w północnym Quito. Zamachowiec został postrzelony przez ochronę, ujęty i przeniesiony do jednostki prokuratury generalnej w Quito. O jego śmierci doniosła załoga ambulansu straży pożarnej.
Partia Fernanda Villavicencio - Movimiento Construye zamieściła wpis na X, w którym donosi, że ich biuro w Quito zostało zaatakowane przez nieznanego sprawcę.
Villavicencio miał 7,5% poparcia, był na piątym miejscu wśród ośmiu kandydatów na prezydenta.
Nice read and very happy for Galante! He is clearly a fan of gaming who made something awesome for fans of gaming. It’s not exactly a game I got addicted to (played maybe 10 or 15 hours total?) but it truly is such a refreshing treat. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. It’s super nostalgic and super easy to pick up immediately. Mostly, I’m excited to see what other things Galante and his team can do! But as long as they are happy continuing to make Vampire Survivors as good as they can, I’m happy for them.
I play with non-inverted controls 99% of the time, but for some reason when I’m flying a starship/plane in first-person, I invert the flight controls. If I’m in a ship in third-person, I tend to prefer non-inverted although I can play with both. I think it matters how physically close I am to the fulcrum (wrong word?) of the rotation, combined with the fact that the thing I’m rotating isn’t myself, but the contraption I’m travelling in. On foot in first-person, inverted controls don’t work for me at all.
It’s like if you imagine you’re controlling a seesaw in a 3D environment. The seesaw is positioned such that it forms a vertical line on the screen in a top-down or isometric view. You’re adding or removing weight to the bottom-most end. If you press down on your controller, you add pressure/weight and so the top-most end moves upwards, which is equivalent to the front of your plane/ship rising upwards. I think that’s kinda why it feels more intuitive for me to fly ships with inverted controls. It’s about where you place your consciousness in 3D space.
Another example is scrolling a document on a computer. Some people I know, when they say “scroll up for me”, they mean “move the document upwards”, while others say it to mean “move the viewport upwards in relation to the document” (so the text moves downwards). Besides it being a simple language issue, I think the idea that one person thinks of the system as being “I control a viewport” and another person thinks of it as “I control the document itself” is similar to the inverted/non-inverted controls debate. Where your mind’s eye is sitting is hugely important.
In the best case, the detection is at the 2.4 sigma confidence level (less than the usual 3 for reasonable confidence and will below the 5 required for strong confidence), and if previously suspected issues with the instrument are true, the detection could disappear completely.
I do not have a strong confidence in this result. (But at least they didn’t publish it in Nature, in which case you would absolutely know it’s wrong…)
But the solar flare was yesterday, if there was going to be any good viewing of auroras it would have been last night, or more likely a couple nights ago (from US time zones). The peak of it occurred shortly after lunch yesterday and it’s calmed down back to normal today.
The agencies were correct about the information, however unlike OP apparently I know how to adjust for time zone differences. Monday morning in Australia is still Sunday in the US, so yes that would have been the correct time for the warning. But this article was posted here a day after the event occurred, all of the warnings expired, and the Kp index had dropped back down to more moderate levels. At the peak of the event the Kp index reached around 8.0. When I posted my comment yesterday it was sitting at 1.66, well below the threshold for seeing auroras anywhere in the continental US. If you had any chance of seeing auroras here it would have had to be Sunday night, not Monday night.
