Canada@lemmy.ca•Officers reassigned after alleged assault of Oshawa lawyer, SIU not investigating
8·2 days agoOntario’s police watchdog says it is not investigating the case of a lawyer who is alleging that multiple Durham Regional Police Service officers slammed her head on a desk without provocation and dragged her to the basement cells of the Oshawa courthouse last week.
Riley, through a statement issued by her lawyer, Neha Chugh, said she was working in an interview room at the courthouse last Friday when uniformed officers “challenged her presence” in the room.
In the statement, Chugh said police, who were working as security, slammed Riley’s head on the desk and put their knees on her back and neck, and spoke to her with “rage, disrespect, and contempt.”
She said officers then forcibly “dragged” Riley from the room in handcuffs and took her to the basement cells of the courthouse.
“Her head scarf was ripped off, her skirt was raised when she was handled by officers, and her head was bleeding and her eye swollen from being slammed into the desk,” Chugh’s statement reads.
“She committed no offence other than being a Black woman practising law, being diligent about her commitment to the pursuit of justice.”

Technology@beehaw.org•Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it
4·3 days agoVolvo’s new central computing system, HuginCore (named after a bird in Norse mythology), runs the EX60 with more than 250 trillion operations per second. It has been developed in-house, together with its partners Google, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.
“With the HuginCore system we can collect a lot of data and make decisions in the car instantly and combine that with the belt’s ability to choose different load levels,” says Åsa Haglund, head of the Volvo Cars Safety Center. “A box of possibilities opens up where you can detect what type of crash it is and who is in the car and choose a more optimal belt force.”
One of my all time favourites for sure :)

I think it would be worth posting each one as a separate post, maybe on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world? It’s a large community, just make sure to use an appropriate title to meet their requirements.
It would focus the discussion on each topic and maybe get some location specific recommendations. Also you could link back to this post for anyone that misses the other guides

Ask Science@lemmy.world•I've heard pro and con that addiction to whatever is genetic kind of like balding. Has there been a defentive to prove yes or no?English
15·6 days agoThere are genetic components that make the condition more likely, but it won’t cause someone to become an addict.
I think you are referring to studies like this one: https://nida.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/2023/03/new-nih-study-reveals-shared-genetic-markers-underlying-substance-use-disorders
scientists have identified genes commonly inherited across addiction disorders, regardless of the substance being used. This dataset – one of the largest of its kind – may help reveal new treatment targets across multiple substance use disorders, including for people diagnosed with more than one. The findings also reinforce the role of the dopamine system in addiction, by showing that the combination of genes underlying addiction disorders was also associated with regulation of dopamine signaling
So our genetics will determine how the dopamine pathway runs in each person. Some people might be making more or less dopamine, might be more or less sensitive to dopamine, etc.
There are also social factors that will play a role in this. Someone that is struggling with addiction, might place the child in an environment where they are more likely to become addicted in the future. Even with that, it’s not a certainty. There are plenty of former addicts that get the help they need and raise children in wonderful and loving homes :)
