A heart-monitor watch he was wearing recorded his heart rate at 140 beats per minute — “full tachycardia” — before the plane even left the ground.

To describe the Beanstalk incident as anything other than a system working as intended is giving cryptocurrency developers far more credit than they deserve. This “$182 million hack” is the predictable, replicable result of directly connecting every cent within a project to a codebase, and allowing said codebase to directly create transactions with that money. It is libertarian democracy - you can vote, your vote matters, but all that really matters is who - and this can be one person - has the most votes, which in many cases can be as simple as “who has a lot of money.”

Questions look set to be asked after two Russian oligarchs, both linked to gas giants, apparently murdered their wives and daughters before killing themselves—within two days of each other. Former Kremlin official and Gazprombank vice-president Vladislav Avayev, 51, was found dead in his luxury Moscow apartment alongside the bodies of his wife and 13-year-old daughter on Monday. It appeared he had shot them before turning the gun on himself. The bodies were found by distraught 26-year-old daughter Anastasia after she was unable to get hold of her family. The following day former Novatek deputy chairman Sergey Protosenya, 55, his wife Natalya, 53, and 18-year-old daughter, Maria, were found dead at their Spanish mansion. The scene suggested the women had been stabbed, before Protosenya hanged himself in the garden. The alarm was raised by the couple's teenage son, who was staying in France, after he was unable to reach his parents at their home in the coastal town of Lloret de Mar.

SEOUL — The Supreme Court of South Korea issued a landmark ruling against the military’s decades-old ban on homosexual activities on Thursday, striking down guilty verdicts for two male soldiers who were indicted on a charge of having consensual sex while off their base. South Korea’s Military Criminal Act calls for up to two years in prison for “anal intercourse or other indecent acts.” Until now, ​soldiers engaged in such activities had been punished under that law regardless of whether there was mutual consent or where the conduct took place. Rights groups have long condemned the law​, saying it permits a “witch hunt” against gay soldiers. ​In its ruling on Thursday, the Supreme Court said that the law should not apply to consensual sex away from a military setting. The two accused men, a first lieutenant and a master sergeant, were indicted on charges of breaking the military code after they were found to have had sex in a private house during off-duty hours in 2016. Lower military courts sentenced the lieutenant to four months in jail and the sergeant to three months; the sentences were suspended.

An exotic bird that stands more than 5-feet tall is on the run in Florida, and investigators seriously suspect it was unleashed by a goat. The escapee is a 2-year-old emu named Merlin, and he was last seen around 8 a.m. Friday, April 15, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. Emu can’t fly and they’re huge — standing 5 to 6 feet and weighing up to 150 pounds — so it defies logic Merlin has eluded detection for a week in Golden Gate Estates. The subdivision is northeast of Naples and has “mile-long streets that dead end at a canal.” “There was nothing magical about Merlin’s disappearance. His owners told detectives they believe Merlin was accidentally freed from his pen by their pet goat.” How a goat did that “accidentally” was not revealed, but goats are notorious for doing what suits them in the moment — like cats.

Just before 6:40 p.m. Wednesday night the U.S. Capitol Police issued an alert ordering the immediate evacuation of the U.S. Capitol building, the Capitol visitor center, six Senate and House office buildings, all three buildings of the Library of Congress, and the U.S. Botanic Garden. People inside the House office buildings, the Library of Congress, and the Botanic Garden were ordered to proceed south toward local parks; people in the Senate office buildings or the Senate side of the Capitol were ordered to proceed north, to something ominously described only as the “Aircraft Intrusion Assembly Area.” The reason for the evacuation: The Capitol Police were “tracking an aircraft” that they’d determined posed “a probable threat to the Capitol Complex.” Normally this kind of thing would be no laughing matter, but today you are forced to chuckle upon learning that the cause of this dread-soaked evacuation of the literal legislative branch of the federal government was a big dumb patriotic pregame stunt at a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks. It seems that Wednesday was Military Appreciation Night at Nationals Park, the first of four calendar events the team has designated as part of a “Patriotic Series.” To celebrate this event, the Nationals scheduled a display by the United States Army Parachute Team, nicknamed the Golden Knights, who were expected to leap from a Twin Otter Series airplane and skydive down into the stadium, located just over a mile from the National Mall. Naturally, this would require flying the airplane in the skies over the stadium, one of the most heavily restricted columns of air anywhere on the planet. Apparently this plan had not been communicated to the Capitol Police. Despite being coordinated by the United States Army, and despite the plane taking off from Andrews Air Force Base, and despite its pilot being in constant contact with air traffic control at Reagan National Airport, the first that anyone in charge of security at the United States Capitol heard of this flight was when the twin-engine plane started circling ominously at the very edge of the prohibited airspace over the National Mall, at which time “multiple federal agencies began scrambling officials” on the belief that the plane was a “probable threat” to attack the United States Capitol Building. The evacuation order was given, and a bunch of extremely frightened people started racing for safety. It was approximately 10 minutes later that the various parties involved figured out the mixup and the evacuation order was lifted.

Financial malfeasance has never been more rampant, or more under-punished. Everywhere you look in America, crime is out of control. Whether it’s Elon Musk—the world’s richest man—cutting regulatory corners in public, professional son-in-law Jared Kushner getting a $2 billion payoff from the Saudis, hackers draining hundreds of millions of dollars out of a crypto game, or the meatpacking industry boosting profits through price gouging, the economy’s winners color outside the lines with increasing chutzpah. There’s a lot of evidence that the country is in the middle of an alarming white-collar crime wave, but, unlike street crime, the phenomenon doesn’t show up much in our political discourse. It’s time to change that. Though most elected officials aren’t treating white-collar malfeasance as a matter of urgent public concern, the public seems to be experiencing it as one. Excitement around crypto currency has spurred the growth of a whole new fraud category, propelling investment scam losses to a record high, including over $50 million reported lost to crypto scams in Q1 of 2021. But you can’t blame tech: Phone scams took just under $30 billion off Americans in the pandemic’s first year, a 400 percent increase since 2015 and by far the highest ever estimated. (Though the voice on the phone is probably just some schmuck overseas, rogue Internet Service Providers and marketing database companies in the US are cashing in on their work.) People are getting taken at work, too: In a survey of service workers, 34 percent reported an increase in wage theft by their employers during the pandemic. A commentator could pull up these figures all day, and so could a prosecutor. Perhaps the thieves feel safe because the number of corporate and white-collar prosecutions has been on a declining trend for 10 or 20 years now, depending on how you measure. At the beginning of the pandemic, federal enforcers told reporters to expect a flood of cases at the end of 2020, but the year closed with cases at their lowest recorded levels. The Biden administration got to work and managed to make 2021’s numbers the second-lowest ever. That’s no surprise when you remember most of the enforcement drop happened under Biden’s boss Barack Obama, not Donald Trump or George W. Bush. Taking it easy on financial crime has bipartisan consensus, and a shocking number of people are paying the price. A Harris poll suggests almost 60 million Americans lost money to phone scams between March 2020 and 2021, making you roughly 1,786 times more likely to be robbed with a phone than with a gun.

Made from simple items, the Oreometer turns snacking into a science.

. . . This research has found most women who play sport are not concerned about the inclusion of transgender women and girls. Indeed, only a minority of women believed trans women have an “unfair advantage”. However, the views of most women who play sport stand in sharp contrast to the views of most men. Despite not being directly affected, men, such as the prime minister, seem to have strong opinions about the participation of trans athletes in women’s sport. The reason for this remains unclear, given men do not express strong opinions about other issues which impact women’s sport . . .
