Boar’s Head plans to reopen a meat packaging plant in Jarratt, Virginia, that was the source of a listeria outbreak in 2024 that sickened dozens of people and killed 10. The company had closed the plant indefinitely after liverwurst packaged there had been linked to the deaths. A shocking report from the New York Times shortly after the Boar’s Head recall explained that the plant had evidence of meat that was exposed to wet ceilings, extensive rust, and the presence of green mold.

Court Records Reveal Sig Sauer Knew of Pistol Risks for Years

news.ycombinator.com Rachel Fedeli 2025-11-18 23:32:40

A court exhibit recently published online summarizes Sig Sauer’s internal P320 testing and shows that the gun maker and U.S. Army were both aware of serious safety risks with the pistol since at least 2017, years before it was fielded to soldiers as the full-size M17 and compact M18. The document — prepared as a part of Sig Sauer’s contracting process with the U.S. Army — outlines multiple ways the pistol could fire without an intentional trigger pull.

Aviation is a poster child for economic stagnation. Yes, airline travel has gotten cheaper and safer—great. But every other aspect of aviation has struggled or even regressed. As I’ve noted many times, we had supersonic travel across the Atlantic from 1976 to 2003. Today, not even the world’s richest travelers can fly that fast. Another part of aviation that has suffered over the last half-century is general aviation, particularly its low-end segment, personal aviation, in which people fly them

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs
