A closer look at ARM and what it means for Windows 10 laptops
With new details on the limitations, as well as hardware due soon, Rachel Berry looks at the risks, benefits, and incentives of combining the two.
Rachel Berry
As some of you may have noticed, my editor Jack has been eyeing up laptops based on ARM architecture within Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processors, as opposed to typical x86 laptops. Last summer he wrote, "Why I want a Windows 10 S laptop with a Qualcomm ARM chip," It's quite an odd title as we move to an era of not really knowing what hardware is running our cloud apps, but with several ARM laptops announced and coming soon, we decided to prod this topic for more insight, particularly as Microsoft released more details about the limitations of Windows 10 on ARM last week.
Jack wrote that he's interested in Windows 10 features more associated with mobile devices, along with the traditionally-mooted ARM advantages of low power and long battery life. Considering the facts that the smartphone and IoT supply chain is an order of magnitude or two bigger than the PC supply chain, and that the traditional laptop market is around 98% Intel, any disruption or new vendors become interesting.
The overall package of these laptops is far more like the tablet experience: always connected; open it up and off you go; and long battery life. (They're advertising 20+ hours of active time and up to 30 days of standby.) If these promises deliver, there are certainly use cases where this could be the "killer feature," including in education where there are likely more users than power outlets in a classroom; those who work all day out of the office; large organizations where the electricity savings stack up; and environments where power supply is inconsistent, unreliable, or scarce.
Why ARM devices are different
The x86 instruction set used by Intel is a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing), whereas ARM architectures are based on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). You can read more about the differences, but in general, RISC means that ARM architectures are more power-efficient.
Traditional laptop processors have a few powerful and identical multi-purpose cores that are up to any task. Whilst this means they can handle most things thrown at them, it also means that excessive power is used for many tasks that simply don't require it.
Newer mobile phones (a sector where ARM architectures dominate) have moved towards heterogeneous compute, where a range of processors of different power-to-functionality ratios are used and assigned to different tasks as appropriate. For example, most mobile phones have a fairly beefy chip handling your voice and video, as well as a much smaller, power-efficient one doing many of the light tasks, like checking if phone has been picked up/activated, checking network connectivity, and so on. There's a lot of information available about developments like ARM's big.LITTLE and DynamIQ if you want to dive deeper.
Enter Windows on ARM, take 2
Most ARM chips run RTOSes (real-time operating systems) rather than consumer OSes such as Windows. So, the key enabler for today's conversation has been Microsoft releasing Windows OSes that run natively on the ARM architecture and allow compatibility with applications developed for x86.
Many will remember Microsoft's previous attempt. In 2012, Windows RT was a cut down version of Windows compiled for ARM that required you to source applications that were also compiled specifically for the platform. As this website (and many others) wrote, it was very clunky. The end user was very aware that they weren't using x86 hardware, and at the end of the day, the user shouldn't really care what bits of silicon are running, as long as the applications look familiar and there's no fiddly sourcing or management.
This time around, Microsoft have produced a version of Windows 10 that uses the ARM native hardware and provides a degree of emulation so that many applications compiled for x86 can be installed. Since most applications use the hardware via the Windows OS APIs, a lot of operations will be run directly on the OS. Some more CPU-intensive applications are compiled to be optimised for x86, which means they will probably experience a performance hit when using the emulation components.
The limitations Microsoft announced last week are significant and there are a fair few. Paul Thurrott has already written an excellent summary, including his opinions. Whilst many users may not actually need the wider support of Intel platforms, they may still be confused about their requirements, which itself could be a blocker to adoption. The limitations include: no x64 (64-bit) apps (only 32-bit x86), no OpenGL support above OpenGL version 1.1, no hardware-accelerated OpenGL, no Hyper-V, and no apps requiring native x86 drivers.
There's yet another issue here. In June 2017, only a month after the initial announcement of Windows 10 ARM laptops, Intel released a rather curious statement. It didn't mention ARM or any specific vendor, but it did sound like a warning, saying "[…] there have been reports that some companies may try to emulate Intel's proprietary x86 ISA without Intel's authorization." Even if Intel doesn't (or can't?) pursue an IP infringement claim, it certainly raises the possibility of future engineering to make emulation as hard as possible. Emulation is often a catch-up game, made even harder without vendor co-operation, with emulators lagging the native functionality (as seen in some of the limitations).
Having vast swathes of the hardware market controlled with proprietary instruction sets doesn't make life easy for the OS vendors or Silicon providers, so it's worth noting that vendors such as Qualcomm are investing in the open RISC-V consortium, which also includes other big names like IBM, Google, Huawei, Samsung, and MediaTek, amongst many others. Although fairly embryonic at the moment, the strength of the backing and the size of ARM's RISC chip market mean it's one to watch as a potential challenger. Long term, it could offer chip manufacturers an instruction set without all these licensing issues, and drive developments that allow them to move away from CISC architectures and their associated x86 reliance, using a non-proprietary RISC instruction set.
What does this all mean for us?
There are a few other effects we can look at.
First, these first laptops seem to be appearing with price tags between $600–$800, which isn't that cheap for an entry level laptop these days, with Chromebooks starting around $200. When you can get fairly similar performance and experience on a standard x86 for cheaper, if the power savings aren't a primary concern, I imagine many users will be hesitant to move away from the x86 that dominates 98% of the market, especially whilst it remains unclear what performance impact emulation may have. Add in the other limitations (particularly for those using legacy apps) and it is very hard for a consumer to work out if such a device will suit their needs. The risks may deter many.
Second, for ISVs that have CPU-heavy applications, developing and testing for a different architecture is a huge investment. It wouldn't be surprising if many chose to simply state minimum hardware requirements specifying an x86 platform, similar to how they often dictate a minimum processor of 2.3GHz. Whilst last week's Microsoft information advises on how applications could be recompiled/ported to ARM, I'm not convinced many software vendors will have significant appetite to do so.
Third, this may be a far off issue at the moment, but ARM laptops miss out on the ability to be converted to enterprise thin clients using recent products such as the IGEL pocket and Dell Wyse Converter for PCs, products designed to repurpose x86 systems.
Because of the length of the chip development lifecycle, the technologies released in these first laptops are based on IP developed several years ago. The Snapdragon 835 in this first wave of hardware is based around combinations of ARMs Cortex-A53 and A72/A73 cores.
Recent ARM IP releases have added new CPUs, and when these make it through to the SIPs like Qualcomm and the OEMs like Asus or Lenovo, significant performance improvements are expected. Last year ARM released their successors, the Cortex-A55 and A75, alongside word of expected performance/efficiency gains. Although these haven't yet materialized in consumer hardware, it's been circulated that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 will be based around these.
Most important, there are many vendors with strong commercial interests in diversifying the Intel-dominated laptop market, and there are genuine technical strengths to the ARM technologies. This could be the start of a trend that becomes mainstream. The limitations announced by Microsoft indicate this is still very much a work in progress. The proof will be in the actual experience and reviews, so we are eager to see what happens when Jack gets his paws on one.

This is your handy-dandy, fact-filled recap of all the wonderful knowledge we gained from the latest installment of The Flash. Last week gave us a glimpse at how 8 minutes can feel like an hour when you have the powers of a speedster. On this week's edition of Flash Facts, meta hijinks ensue as the we get the delightfully tropey 'super power swap' episode.
Flash Fact 1: Mad science is just an area of study, not a degree.
Flash Fact 2: Iris is the leader of the team… Wait, when did that happen?
Flash Fact 3: According to Joe, things "start getting serious" around the third trimester.
Flash Fact 4: KAROFSKY CAMEO!
Flash Fact 5: For fire to melt through 10 inches of reinforced steel it requires over 6,000°F, which also happens to be 10 times the thermal output of Heatwave's blaster.
Flash Fact 6: Ralph is Sarah Connor….
Okay, OKAY! Maybe not that one, but what about 80s-era Sarah?
You know what? This still feels like an insult to Sarah Connor. How about Cersei Connor….?
Flash Fact 7: If you meet some random guy at a bank and immediately lose your super powers following said meeting, it's probably not a coincidence.
Flash Fact 8: Don't eat when you're in the process of saving lives.
Flash Fact 9: It's very likely that a state-of-the-art Thinking Cap can enable its wearer to not only analyze a person's eating habits in a matter of four seconds but also deduce whether an individual opposite them is wearing underwear. Or, you know, the wearer could just figure that out given how tight Ralph's pants are and because a person has eyes.
Flash Fact 11: Matthew's (a.k.a. Melting Point's) abilities work by melting down the highly concentrated bonds between DNA. In layman's terms, that makes the DNA totally pliable so he can extract them and infuse somebody else with the exact same meta DNA.
Flash Fact 12: When you don't know what else to do, TRAIN!
Flash Fact 13: Updating software isn't doing anything. It is, quite literally, nothing.
Flash Fact 14: If one has not seen Spider-Man 2, one needs to seriously consider how they live with themselves.
Flash Fact 17: The only way to stop a 100 ft. fire tornado is with a 100 ft. tidal wave, apparently.
Flash Fact 18: Cisco makes a good Borg reference.
That's all for the week in Flash Facts. Be sure check back next week for even more helpful factoids from The Flash!

Grasshopper Diet Caused Lethal Constipation 1,000 Years Ago
Ancient TalesThe Journey Begins
A naturally mummified man was found to have had a grasshopper diet for several months before he died. His body was found in 1937 when a young man called Guy Skiles was exploring in a rock-shelter near the junction of the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers in South Texas. Rummaging around in the sand he discovered a naturally preserved mummy and the mysterious ancient man was transferred to a private museum. Finally, in 1968, the mummy was loaned to the Institute of Texan Cultures.
The mummified man lived in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands sometime between 1,400 and 1,000 years ago and the arid terrain where he was buried caused his body to become naturally mummified. Between the 1970s and 1980s several scientific projects analyzed the discovery, and in 1986 a team of scientists published a detailed paper in the journal of the Plains Anthropologist Society .
The man lived in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas, pictured here, sometime between 1,400 and 1,000 years ago. The arid area where he was buried caused his body to become naturally mummified. ( Karl Reinhard )
In 2003, Dr. Karl Reinhard, professor in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska, published a report in the journal Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz claiming "1,170 grams (2.6 pounds) of feces were discovered compacted within the mummy. Furthermore, "a vast amount of food remains that his body never processed."

Grasshopper Diet Led to Death by "Megacolon"
The size of the ancient man's colon led Dr. Reinhard and his team of researchers to conclude that he was "severely constipated" and had suffered malnourishment as his body couldn't properly process foods. Now, in a museum statement by the same professor, about the same mummified remains, he has not only confirmed his earlier finding, that the poor man died from a horrible case of constipation, but according to an article in Live Science with "more advanced technologies the scientists have opened a dark window into this man's last months on Earth." In conclusion, during the man's last painful months "he ate mainly grasshoppers."
The man had a grasshopper diet in the last painful months of his life. (Greg Hume/ CC-BY-SA 3.0 )
The full story about the man's "grasshopper diet" will be published in a chapter of a forthcoming book " The Handbook of Mummy Studies " and it will also detail two other studies of a 5- to 6-year-old child who died between 500 and 1,000 years ago. This child was found to have been fed fruit from the saguaro cactus in the final weeks of their life.
In the new book Reinhard and his colleagues present the results of their recent reanalysis of the mummy's remains using electron microscopes, which determined he had died of "Chagas disease," caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that had blocked up his intestines. His colon swelled up as a result of the toxicity "to about six times its normal size" and the scientists described his awful condition as "megacolon."
He Must Have Been "Hopping Mad" with Pain
The man's "Megacolon" meant he was unable to digest foods properly. Failing to maintain a constant metabolic state over several months, he eventually became severely malnourished. The researchers think the man's condition would have made it difficult for him to walk, "or even eat on his own." It is suggested that in his final months, having had his dignity shattered, his family or community members must have fed him the juicy center part of grasshoppers, "whose legs had been removed."
Segment of the man's "Megacolon" that was analyzed in 2016. ( Verostick, Bryant & Reinhard/ International Journal of Paleopathology, 2019 )
The new book will explain how this diet had been specifically chosen, not only because it was high in protein, but also because it was full of moisture, therefore, "easier for him to eat in the early stages of his megacolon experience."
The new scans also revealed that the man's colon contained the undigested remains of plants called "phytoliths" – which reaffirmed just how severely constipated the man was when he died. These microscopic structures are made of silica in plant tissues and they persist after plants have decayed. Reinhard said the phytoliths "were split open, crushed," which means incredible pressure was exerted at a microscopic level within the man's intestinal system. This level of intestinal blockage, and the pressure that's associated with it, "is unique in the annals of pathology," according to the professor.

Q: Ruby string of bytes to array of integers? I have a string represented like this in ruby: "\x00\x00\xff" How can I get an array of the integers? I'm abit confused about how to represent bytes properly.
For example, how can I transform that into an array like this?
[ 0, 0, 255 ]

Update
I've tried the examples below, and this is where I'm having trouble, like "\x00\x00\xff".bytes should work but I get this:
[92, 120, 52, 48, 92, 120, 102, 102, 92, 120, 53, 53]

Like each character is returning it's byte code instead of recognizing that they are separate bytes. How do I prevent that string "\x00\x00\xff" from interpreted as literally a string?

A: s = "\x00\x00\xff"
s.bytes # => [0, 0, 255]

A: Use String#each_byte for this :
"\x00\x00\xff".each_byte.to_a
# => [0, 0, 255]

Brother Osborne's TJ and John Osborne brought the house down at a show over the weekend — literally. The country duo were set to play Hanford Fox Theatre in Hanford, California on Saturday night (Dec. 10) when the roof collapsed hours before showtime, forcing them to cancel the show inside the venue.
However, the guys live by the motto "the show must go on" and decided to move the party to a surprising new location: the top of their tour bus.
The Bros gave attendees a heads up on Twitter about the incident, telling them to head to the bus in 20 minutes for the show. What followed was a 30-minute set atop the tour bus in the rain, with the duo treating fans to tracks like "Greener Pastures," "Rum" and even a cover of "Hey, Good Lookin'" by Hank Williams. The show was made that much better when John's wife, Lucie Silvas — a British singer-songwriter who has a cut on Miranda Lambert's new album The Weight of These Wings — joined the country act later in the set for multiple songs, including their first No. 1 hit, "Stay a Little Longer."
This isn't the first time such a crumbling fate has been bestowed on the duo. They had to end a show early on Nov. 27 while performing at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise, Idaho, when a portion of the ceiling fell on to the stage during the performance.
After a big win at the 2016 CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year, the Osbornes are up for a 2017 Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "21 Summer." "Stay a Little Longer" was up for the same nomination in 2016. The duo's first headlining tour, the Dirt Rich Tour, continues through January of 2017, with Silvas and fellow newcomers Lanco joining them on the road.

Summer is officially here and we're rapidly approaching the halfway mark of the year. The ongoing climate crisis has of course been one of the biggest themes in 2019, including marches, great strides, and unfortunate setbacks. Let's take a look at what's been going on in the world of sustainability so far in 2019, as a look back can show us what we should continue and what mistakes we should learn from.
Major Anti-Plastic Movement - Starting with a movement to ban plastic straws inspired by an infamous and heartbreaking picture of a sea turtle, the anti-plastic movement went from a pipe dream to legislation this year. Numerous cities and even some countries have made laws and promises to limit or ban single-use plastic, including NYC banning Styrofoam, Maine banning Styrofoam, Canada planning to phase out single use plastic by 2021, Nigeria banning plastic bags, and Great Britain banning plastic straws and stirrers. A full 187 countries have signed on to a pledge to reduce plastic pollution.
Major Climate Crisis Protests - From Greta Thunberg's school strikes going global to the Extinction Rebellion taking over cities, mass protest movements have been on going and so far do not look like they're losing steam anytime soon.
The Green New Deal Proposed - US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and US Senator Edward Markey jointly proposed legislation they called the Green New Deal, designed to combine FDR style New Deal economic legislation with major sustainable initiatives. While an initial early draft was shot down in the senate, the idea of a Green New Deal is not going anywhere soon and has already spawned copycat legislation such as New York's Green New Deal, so the idea will most likely be a major political talking point for years to come.
Renewables Reach Record Highs - Multiple sources are point out that renewables are picking up major steam, from record breaking renewable energy use in the US to England going it's first week without coal since the industrial revolution.
China Rebukes Sloppy Plastic Recycling - Early in the year China changed the laws for what kind of plastic recycling it would accept, effectively banning the highly contaminated "single-stream" plastic recycling that many western countries have adopted. This set off a domino effect of South-East Asian countries also rejecting this, and is forcing the west to improve their plastic recycling standards.
Damning Reports - Between world record heat waves, carbon levels not seen in 800,000 years, the report that 1 million species face extinction, to the most recent news that Canada's permafrost is melting a full 70 years ahead of schedule, 2019's science on climate has highlighted the drastic need for change.
Landmark Climate Lawsuits - Across the world, landmark lawsuits are being filed and one on behalf of the climate and the people affected by it. In the US, the company Monsanto lost multiple lawsuits for the harmful and cancer causing effects of RoundUp. In Australia, Indigenous Islanders filed a lawsuit against the government of Australia for not doing enough to prevent climate change that will sink their island. These are just two court challenges in a new wave of legal battles for the environment.
Commitments to Carbon Neutrality - Washington State, New York State, The State of Hawaii, Great Britain, Japan, Finland, and Sweden have joined the fight against climate change by pledging to be carbon neutral, some even as early as 2035.
Sustainable Fashion Becomes Trendy - Sustainable Fashion has outgrown some of its niche nature and has become a major talking point. Capsule wardrobe bloggers got huge, Upcycled and recycled fashion are hitting major runways, rental fashion company Rent the Runway was valued at a billion dollars, major sneaker companies like Adidas and Reebok are now trying to make ultra-sustainable shoes usually associated with smaller brands. Last year, multiple studies have shown that Millennials are looking to shop green, and between smaller eco-brands becoming hugely popular and larger brands scrambling to go green, the trend is fully here.

LFF 2015: Blood of My Blood Review
Daniel Goodwin
Where some directors discard conventional story-telling structures in favour of more experimental strands with entwining subplots and fractured narratives, others adhere to more simple, linear tales, creating fleeting features that are easy on the brain but forgotten almost instantly after watching them. Italian Writer/ Director Marco Bellocchio embraces the challenging but despite embellishing rich themes and social commentary within sumptuous settings, his latest work strives too hard to be ground-breaking and has a venomous disregard for precision.
Seventeenth Century Nobleman Frederico (Pier Giorgio Bellocchio) visits a Santa Ciara convent in Bobbio where a Cardinal must determine whether his late brother (who recently committed suicide) is worthy of a Catholic burial. While the local Father Cacciapuoti (Fausto Russo Alesi) attempts to extract a confession from Sister Benedetta (Lidiya Liberman): a nun believed to be possessed by Satan and responsible for seducing Frederico's brother, Frederico also finds himself falling for the demonic temptress and fears to be following the same fatal path as his late sibling.
While Blood of my Blood may strike a chord with fans of Bellocchio's oeuvre or with film theorists keen on wading through subtexts, on the hunt for buried themes, it may prove onerous and self-indulgent to general viewers. The perplexing story stumbles incoherently in the second act where a modern day tax inspector (Pier Giorgio Bellocchio) and a Russian billionaire Rikalkov (Ivan Franek) attempt to buy the decrepit convent/ prison, much to the dismay of the local Conte (Roberto Herlitzka) and a cack-handed, self-confessed maniac (Filippo Timi) who fritters in the background, being gratingly anarchic.
An ill-suited score befuddles further while irrelevant back-stories are unnecessarily elaborated on by supporting characters. Greater efforts should have been given to refining exposition and plot progression and despite a stunning setting, Blood of my Blood fails to emote or enliven. A second viewing may clarify niggling after-thoughts regarding what the hell was going on but finding anyone willing to sit through it again may prove challenging. Bellocchio appears to use ambiguity as a smokescreen for the monotonous, bungled drama where awful characters and some inappropriate comedy also clash and contribute inanity. Is a blind man falling over supposed to be funny?
Blood of my Blood weaves supernatural elements into its resolution yet remains maddeningly mystifying throughout. It is arguably more challenging for a film-maker to create an original work than one that's packaged to be compatible with a general audience. Bellocchio applies ambiguity but falters in his attempt to assimilate wonder. Blood of my Blood will probably hang in the brain longer than a any kind of linear mainstream work but it's an emotionally defective endurance test that badgers like a headache in a war museum and won't be revisited for clarity, any time soon.

Florida man charged after body found in Ocmulgee river
MCRAE, Ga. - A Florida man is charged with killing a woman whose body was found in the Ocmulgee River in Georgia.
Telfair County Sheriff Chris Steverson announced Saturday that the victim has been identified as 64-year-old Judy Larue Morrow of Tampa, Fla. She had been shot in the head.
The sheriff said 25-year-old Joshua Lamar Helton of Plant City, Fla., was taken into custody Friday on a murder warrant. He said Helton had known Morrow and her family for some time and they had once been neighbors.
Fisherman found the woman's body near a boat landing Thursday morning.
WMGT-V (http://bit.ly/12aCnHd ) reported Murrow is being held at the Hillsborough County Jail in Florida. No one was available Saturday at the Hillsborough sheriff's public information office to say whether Morrow has an attorney.

Q: Cannot change opacity of Cocos2d-x MenuItemToggle elements I am trying to determine why opacity does not affect CCMenuItemToggle items? This is true when calling setOpacity() on the object directly as well as when calling actions such as FadeTo() or reducing the opacity of its parent.
I have tested this using Cocos2dx v2.2.6 and v3.8.1 and it is the same in both.
auto item1 = MenuItemToggle::createWithCallback(CC_CALLBACK_1(HelloWorld::menuCallback, this),
    MenuItemImage::create("CloseNormal.png", "CloseNormal.png"),
    MenuItemImage::create("CloseSelected.png", "CloseSelected.png"),
    nullptr);

// create menu, it's an autorelease object
auto menu = Menu::create(item1, NULL);
menu->setPosition(256, 256);
this->addChild(menu, 1);

// Nothing I do to try and make 'item1' set to 0% opacity works. It is always 100% opaque.
menu->setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true);
menu->setOpacity(0.0);
item1->setOpacity(0.0);
item1->getParent()->setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true);

A: After further analysis, I discovered that calling setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true) on the MenuItemToggle itself is required for it to be affected by opacity (including when setting opacity via the parent Menu container). This behavior deviates from the other CCMenuItem classes and threw me off.
To alleviate the need to call SetCascadeOpacityEnabled(true) on every toggle item, one can alternatively set the options in the main CCMenuItem::initWithTarget constructor. i.e.,
bool CCMenuItem::initWithTarget(CCObject *rec, SEL_MenuHandler selector)
{
    setAnchorPoint(ccp(0.5f, 0.5f));
    m_pListener = rec;
    m_pfnSelector = selector;
    m_bEnabled = true;
    m_bSelected = false;

    // Make sure opacity and color values cascade to children
    this->setCascadeColorEnabled(true);
    this->setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true);

    return true;
}

Thailand Drops All Charges Against Red Bull Heir
Herald Reporters
Proving again that if you're rich enough in Thailand, you can literally get away with murder, prosecutors have dropped the last criminal charge remaining against the heir to the Red Bull energy drink empire in the death of a police officer in 2012.
CNN reported Thursday night that the Office of the Attorney General last month decided not to indict Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya for reckless driving that killed Thonglor motorcycle officer Pol. Sgt. Major Wichien Klanprasert on Sept. 3, 2012.
Reuters confirmed the report early today early today.
No reason for the decision was cited in the American news agency's report, only quoting Pol. Col. Sampan Luangsajjakul saying that the Royal Thai Police was informed by the OAG spokesman on June 12 about the decision to drop all charges. Police then revoked the three-year-old warrant for his arrest.
Thonglor police sent a letter to Vorayuth's Bangkok address informing him of the OAG decision, CNN reported, saying that national police chief Pol. Gen. Chakthip Chaijinda "has not objected to the decision".
The timing of the decision mentioned in the letter – June 12 – add yet another bizarre twist to the preposterous eight-year saga involving the son of Thailand's second-richest man, as an OAG on June 27 had told reporters that prosecutors had that day urged police to step up efforts to bring Vorayuth back to Thailand for prosecution.
If CNN's report is to be believed, then the OAG spokesman was just blowing smoke for the cameras, as the decision had been made to drop the charges against Vorayuth two weeks earlier.
It would, of course, not be the first time authorities went out of their way to help the heir to a US$20 billion fortune.
Vorayuth's smashed Ferrari as it was seen in 2012 after his arrest in Bangkok.
Vorayuth fled Thailand in 2017 two days before having to acknowledge charges of reckless driving causing death, leaving the scene of an accident and speeding. The statute of limitations on the speeding charge expired after a year. The hit-and-run charge expired in June 2017. The only remaining charge was for reckless driving, which didn't expire until 2027.
Then 28, Vorayuth was behind the wheel of a his gray-bronze Ferrari, racing down Sukhumvit Soi 49 at 177 kilometers per hour (110 mph) around 5 a.m. that fateful Monday when the race car hit the back end of Wichien's motorcycle, dragging the officer down the street before escaping into the night.
Investigators followed leaking oil from the car back to the Yoovidhya mansion where they found the smashed car. When arrested, Vorayuth admitted hitting the officer, but claimed Wichien had cut him off. He was released on 500,000-baht bail.
There began a tale of corruption and incompetence that would allow "Boss" to escape jail and enraged a Thai public, proving again to the poor and working class that there are two sets of laws in Thailand: One for them and a more-lenient set for the elite.
The investigation was left in the incapable hands of Thonglor police which, the National Anti-Corruption Commisison said in June, engaged in a concerted effort to stall the investigation, bury the charges and even try to frame someone else for the crime.
The alleged frame job saw Thonglor cops arrest another suspect who pretended to be driving his Ferrari at the time of the crash. When the plot was exposed, a Thonglor officer was suspended.
"Boss" later allegedly tried to buy off the dead officer's family for 3 million baht in return for not filing a civil wrongful-death lawsuit.
It would not be until April 2017 that charges were formally filed.
The NACC on June 25 found seven Thonglor and Metropolitan Police Division officers guilty of only mild dereliction of duty for their lenient handling the case, despite the commission's determination there was an intentional effort to spare Vorayuth the inconvenience of prosecution and prison.
All were to receive minor disciplinary action or be placed on probation, but Royal Thai Police officials said that disciplinary action had been taken in March, even before the NACC's ruling.
Thai police also had filed a "red notice" with Interpol in August 2017, but the international arrest warrant had disappeared from the global law-enforcement agency's website by March 2018.
As far as the Royal Thai Police is concerned, the case is closed.
Vorayuth is the grandson of Chaleo Yoovidhya, an antibiotics salesman who formulated the "Krathing Daeng", or Red Bull, drink first popular with Thai laborers. It wasn't until Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz discovered the caffeine-loaded drink in 1987 that a partnership was formed that would create the international drinks brand.
The Yoovidhya family's fortune was estimated at $13.1 billion by Forbes in 2017 and Vorayuth's father, Chalerm, is Thailand's second-richest person with a fortune of $20.2 billion.
Following his escape from Thailand, "Boos" used his private jet to live lavishly around the world, despite Thailand revoking his passport. He's been seen at Formula One races (where Red Bull is a leading team), snowboarding in Japan, cruising in Venice and this year has been photographed outside a London home, at a luxury box in a football stadium and at a number of family parties in the U.K. celebrating his birthday.
Now that he's free as a bird, the question is how many of his Thai enablers will be on the VIP list at his next Bangkok party.

Fastener trading tensions tighten between EU and US
22nd June 2018 Jonathon Harker Fixings and fasteners, International, News, Showcase
Today marks the enactment of new measures from the European Commission that will impose extra duty on steel and aluminium products from the US.
Products that will be slapped with the 25% levy will include certain self-tapping screws, blind rivet nuts, self-locking nuts and more. You can find the full list and details here.
The 'rebalancing' measures come in retaliation to North America's imposition of extra duties on imports of steel (25%) and aluminium (10%) from the EU.
"We did not want to be in this position," said Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström. "However, the unilateral and unjustified decision of the US to impose steel and aluminium tariffs on the EU means that we are left with no other choice. The rules of international trade, which we have developed over the years hand in hand with our American partners, cannot be violated without a reaction from our side. Our response is measured, proportionate and fully in line with WTO rules. Needless to say, if the US removes its tariffs, our measures will also be removed."
The EU said the value of its steel and aluminium exports affected by the US measures is €6.4 billion. Of this amount, the EU will rebalance on €2.8 billion worth of exports immediately. The remaining rebalancing on trade valued at €3.6 billion will take place at a later stage – in three years' time or after a positive finding in WTO dispute settlement if that should come sooner, the Commission said.
The measures will remain in place "for as long as the US measures are in place", the EU said.
In March 2018, US President Trump signed an order to impose 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium from all other countries, including the EU. The move follows a report by North America's Department of Commerce which found that the quantities and circumstances of steel and aluminium imports 'threatened to impair the national security', as defined by Section 232.
There's more background in our story from March.
"Würth returns when he goes"
Meanwhile, Germany's Würth Group has revealed it is reluctant to invest further in the US while President Trump is in office (reported by Bild am Sonntag, via Fastener News Desk).
While the huge fastener and assembly business does € 1.8 billion sales in North America, Group head Dr Reinhold Würth said: "We'll wait and see if President Trump is re-elected in four years. Würth returns when he goes."
The "general, uncertain political situation" in the US under Trump was reportedly a key reason behind the strategy.

'Low Tide': Film Review
2:19 PM PDT 10/2/2019 by Frank Scheck
Courtesy of A24
Lackluster teen noir. TWITTER
Teenage burglars in a New Jersey shore town get more than they bargained for when they come across a stash of gold coins in Kevin McMullin's debut feature.
A low-level crime drama doubling as coming-of-age movie, Kevin McMullin's Low Tide has little to offer other than a general air of nostalgia for the Jersey shore circa the 1980s. This tale of a teenage gang of petty criminals whose alliance becomes fractured by a surprisingly big haul doesn't generate any real suspense and lacks the depth of characterization to make up for it.
It's hard to imagine the audience for the film, set in an unspecified town (which really doesn't look like New Jersey at all) and featuring a cast of largely unknown young performers. The story revolves around townies Alan (Keean Johnson), the sensitive member of the gang; Smitty (Daniel Zolghadri), the not-too-bright lookout; and Red (Alex Neustaedter), the volatile rich kid who harbors an irrational hatred for the summer visitors he disparagingly refers to as "Bennies."
The trio makes a habit of burglarizing homes; not those belonging to the locals, but only the summer residences of the hated Bennies who swell the town's population every year. When Smitty accidentally breaks his ankle during one misbegotten caper, Alan enlists his younger brother Peter (Jaeden Martell, The Book of Henry and the It movies) to temporarily fill in as lookout.
The plot, or what little there is of it, is driven into motion by the gang's robbery of a cabin belonging to an eccentric, recently deceased ship captain. Alan and Peter come upon a stash of antique gold coins, but before they can inform Red of their find, they're forced to scatter due to the arrival of local cop Sergeant Kent (veteran character Shea Whigham, instantly recognizable and here providing some much-needed gravitas). Determined to wrest himself free from Red's domination, Alan decides to keep the money for himself and his brother, who have been mainly forced to fend for themselves since the death of their mother and the months-long absences of their fisherman father.
Cue the would-be tension, with Red becoming increasingly suspicious as Alan begins impulsively flashing money around while courting Mary (Kristine Froseth), a summer visitor whose big doe eyes changes his attitude about Bennies. Meanwhile, Sergeant Kent applies pressure on Alan, Smitty and Peter to inform on Red before he turns truly violent.
Writer-director McMullin seems to be aiming for a teenage noirish vibe with this feature debut, but the proceedings are so low-key and tedious that it feels like his heart wasn't in it. Feeling much longer than its 86-minute running time, the film is so narratively slack that the scenes that should pop, such as Alan's visit to a seen-it-all local pawnbroker who gives him $1,000 for one of the coins, instead fall flat (despite the terrific cameo by the late Mike Hodge; this represents his final film). The monochromatic visuals don't help, with the story apparently taking place only on extremely cloudy days.
None of that would matter if we cared about the principal characters, but despite some decent performances by the younger cast members (Martell is particularly good as the straight-arrow Peter, who displays surprising grit), they all register as little more than archetypes.

The first step consisted of plotting the data points: > plot(ratings$Frequency, ratings$FamilySize) All we have to do is specify the vectors of X and Y values as arguments to plot(). By default, the names of the two input vectors are used as labels for the axes. You can see that words with a very high frequency tend to have a very high family size. In other words, the two variables are positively correlated. At the same time, it is also clear that there is a lot of noise, and that the scatter (or variance) in family sizes is greater for lower frequencies.
