Exactly. From 1950-67 Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip from 1959-67. At no point during this time was there any desire on part of the Palestinians to establish a Palestinian state.

The Palesinians don't want a state, they want no Israel.

I could on and on with historical examples, but it doesn't seem many here are interested in that sort of thing.

Heh. And if you look at the ToS, it ends with:

Which jurisdiction!? It doesn't even identify where the owners and operators reside which would be the 'default' jurisdiction.

I don't know where I am, man!

Not even a little. The biggest players are the most sensitive to this kind of thing. Imagine an independent Instagram and Whatsapp running around. That's a fucking nightmare for Mark.

It is precisely the companies that have lost the internal capacity to innovate (Meta) that have the most to lose and the companies that were going extremely well already (Instagram had a bunch of suitors and could have chosen to punch out later in the process, I heard this from Krieger in person) who have the most to gain.

The losers here are people who can buy and hold FAANG as a basket and just sit back and let the market transfer all wealth to pensioners. The winners are founders, employees, new startups, consumers, cities with more offices in them, that's a partial list.

I get migraines that can disappear as fast as they hit me. Can’t see, can’t feel my face and sometimes a limb, can’t focus or form sentences.

I could pretend to be available that day, maybe, but it’s mutually beneficial for me to just take a day off.

The next day I’m usually just fine, and I don’t always give more explanation than “taking a sick day”.

I’m not poor. But I also didn’t sacrifice my morals in order to be rich. (Ok granted I made some strategic decisions away from service to others and towards more money, so that was a compromise of sorts). But I also made a few decisions where I could have got rich(er) but didn’t because it was incompatible with who I want to be in the world. Got an offer to go work at Facebook before most people had heard of it. Turned it down because the product offered nothing of value to the world. (Even though I could see it was the next big thing)

It’s easy to get rich if you’re willing to screw a bunch of people to do it. A better question might be to ask someone like Bill Gates if you’re such a good person why weren’t you a good person when you were getting rich? He headed Microsoft when it was behaving like a big bully, crushing competition behaving badly, heck, they invented FUD. If he was any good he’d have been good along the way and he wouldn’t be as rich. (Probably still pretty rich though).

Warren Buffett is a great example. Pretty nice rich guy right? Got his start buying up American textile companies, wringing the last remaining value out of them, laying off the workers and selling off the assets. If he’s so great why is he responsible for destroying the livelihoods of tens of thousands of fellow Americans? Getting rich usually amounts to taking more than your fair share. (I had a ceo who got rich while screwing me out of my shares) If you realize that and care about doing the right thing you won’t do it.

If you’re so smart why hasn’t that occurred to you yet? Surely you realized in high school that career choices that benefit humanity don’t pay well? Surely you made a conscious choice at that time to either take care of yourself or take care of others. Surely you’ve seen opportunities for wealth at the cost of taking advantage of others and not taken them?

I like how your mode of argument would have led you to confidently assert SpaceX was going to fail. Please conduct some QA on your logic, mkay?

Who here is "soooo" confident Helion will succeed? One can be excited about a company without thinking they're a sure thing. The world is going to spend maybe a quadrillion dollars on energy in this century, so even low odds bets can be very worthwhile.

Those two HN links there were to stories about companies other than Helion. I agree the DT efforts are dubious.

Helion has been reporting results, btw. Have you been reading? Maybe you're complaining they haven't finished all of the next machine yet? "They didn't snap their fingers to make their machine, therefore they're frauds!" isn't a good look.

The thing is, it is really difficult to find the kind of social circle that fits you..

I have had more interesting and deeper conversations with chatGPT than with people. Somehow chatGPT is more capable of expressing thoughts about existence, love, pain, and what it means to be than most if not all humans I have had the chance of talking to.

Conversations with people pale in comparison.
Show HN: CR(D) Wizard – A TUI and Web UI to Visualize Kubernetes CRDs and Docs
by pehli | 2025-08-03 13:43:42+00:00
Hi HN,

I'm the creator of CR(D) Wizard. I wanted to share a project I've been working on to solve a personal pain point I have when dealing with Kubernetes.

When working with custom controllers, I frequently found myself losing context by constantly running kubectl describe and trying to mentally parse massive CRD YAMLs just to understand their schemas.

CR(D) Wizard is my attempt at a solution. It's a single binary written in Go that connects to your current kubeconfig context and provides two interfaces:

1. A terminal UI (TUI) for quick inspection without leaving the command line (built with Bubble Tea). 2. A web-based dashboard for a more visual overview (built with Next.js).

The core features are listing all CRDs, exploring their associated Custom Resources, and, most importantly, rendering the CRD's OpenAPI schema into clean, human-readable documentation directly in the UI.

This is my first release candidate (v0.0.0-rc1), so it's very new. I'm looking for feedback, critiques, and ideas from the community. The goal is to be a simple, zero-dependency tool for developers and SREs to quickly get an overview of their custom resources.

Thanks for taking a look. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Researchers adapted the PREVENT equations to calculate the age of your heart (published in JAMA Cardiology this week).

The PREVENT equations are statistical models that predict your risk of a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular event over the course of 10 or 30 years. They replace the previous ASCVD risk equations.

While this new heart age calculator technically captures the same information as cardiovascular risk, I really like the "heart age" framing. It's more positive (something you might optimize) and easier to interpret (is your heart age below or above your actual age?)

you're right the headline could be written differently. But I'm not with you on "Human still killed human, because Gun did not walk into MRI" -> when the argument is "not guns kill humans, its human kill humans", this imply one takes a gun and use it intentionally - which is always the case when the bullet is fired up with finger-force and is directed towards smthg. Here, the gun was not used, there has not been a finger on the trigger, but it went of. Just because the gun was carried in, it doesn't make "Human killed Human". Guns are carried to a lot of places they should not be carried to without any incident. Here the gun went off without pulling the trigger :)

it could also happen in a sauna with one sitting alone and having the gun put aside. Of course, "why do you bring a gun into a sauna? Its your fault.." No its not. Its not supposed to shoot without pulling the trigger. So one can carry the gun to any places without being shot by it.

Time and again people make the utterly unsubstantiated claim that attack dog regulators like Lina Khan are actually good for big business and bad for the small guy.

Year after year, big business lobbies, bribes, cajoles, blackmails, whatever it takes to get rid of attack dog regulators like Lina Khan.

I'm sorry friend, history does not say what you think it does. History says that good outcomes come from either brutally regulated monopolies (ATT / Western / the Labs), public/private partnerships (DoD funding the Internet, basically every major innovation we coast on today), and busting the fucking chops of mega-trusts (JP Morgan, Gould, steel, railroads, telegraph, it goes on and on).

Why does big business hate aggressive regulation if it's "actually good for them"?

They like a Goldilocks regulation, a little friction to new entrants, a lot of discretion in the hands of pliant former industry people.

They hate Lina Khan.

Great write up! The use of coefficient of variation to detect instability seems reasonable. I've been done performance analysis of actual request traffic (not for benchmarking) to gauge the level of noise in a noisy-neighbor environment, and I believe I looked into using CoV for this and found it wasn't particularly reliable for my purposes.

I'd love to learn about more statistical techniques for doing such analysis. For example, one thing I looked into was correlating tenants and identifying a likely culprit, and it's often not just a matter of absolute request volume. If multiple tenants' latencies increase at once, it's usually because one of them started doing something. But its hard to isolate what that is, when there are many different types of workloads with unpredictable performance impact.

London is mostly ok for overcrowding since the pandemic and remote working. Before that it was a big problem.

The main problem with the buses isn't a lack of them, but that they get held up by endless car traffic. When the roads are quiet, they're efficient.

Suburb to suburb is a challenge for most cities, but I'm not convinced people need to do that as much as they say, it's more they do it because they can. There's some journeys here that are awkward without driving, but in a city of ten million people you're pretty spoilt for choice either way.

I've only visited Paris for work and tourism, but the rail network seems denser there and better set up for short trips - London's trains are fast but they rely on buses to fill the gaps and for short trips: the Deep Tube stations take you quite a long time to get to the platform, so if you're going less than about 2km it's often quicker to walk.

And in the centre of town, walking is as quick as the bus, hire bikes are the quickest way of getting around, but when I've used them I've found they can be in poor condition.

Fwiw, I dipped my toes into AI assisted coding a few weeks ago and started with cursor. Was very unimpressed (spent more time prompting and fight the tool than making forward progress) until I tried Claude code. Happily dropped cursor immediately (cancelled my sub) and am now having a great time using CC productively (just the basic $20/mo plan). Still needs hand-holding but it's a net productivity boost.

They are pretty common in Europe, because older houses here all had gas-powered furnaces, and with an air-to-water heat pump you can continue to use the existing tubing and radiators.

New house builds often include one to run domestic hot water and under-floor heating for bedrooms and such. The downside here is that you probably also need an air-to-air heat pump for cooling in summer, and now you have two expensive heat pumps, and a whole extra set of pipes running around...

Advent of Code needs to get rid of that stupid leaderboard and display winning entrants' names alphabetically. It's not even slightly a fair competition, an entire swath of people are out of the running simply because they are too tired at 11pm (or busy with their kids etc) to solve a little puzzle. I think anyone trying to "compete" in AoC needs to reassess their priorities.

Also, I like reading the "flavor text" about the elves and whatnot. Encouraging people to ignore it seems at odds with the design of AoC.

Take a computer screen with a full wash of R, G, or B. Sync the RGB display with your 2FA token, but run it at 15FPS instead of one code per minute.

Point the monitor at the wall, or desk, or whatever. Notice the radiosity and diffuse light scattering on the wall (and on the desk, and on the reflection on the pen cap, and on their pupils).

Now you can take a video that was purported to be taken at 1:23pm at $LOCATION and validate/reconstruct the expected "excess" RGB data and then compare to the observed excess RGB data.

What they say they've done as well is to not just embed a "trace" of expected RGB values at a time but also a data stream (eg: a 1FPS PNG) which kindof self-authenticates the previous second of video.

Obviously it's not RGB, but "noise" in the white channels, and not a PNG, but whatever other image compression they've figured works well for the purpose.

In the R, G, B case you can imagine that it's resistant (or durable through) most edits (eg: cuts, reordering), and it's interesting they're talking about detecting if someone has photoshopped in a vase full of flowers to the video (because they're also encoding a reference video/image in the "noise stream").

SpaceX had a ton of help from NASA.

Also:

> Fusion generates electricity by ramming atoms into each other, releasing energy without emitting significant greenhouse gases or creating large amounts of long-lasting radioactive waste. But despite billions of dollars of investment, scientists and engineers still have not figured out a way to reliably generate more energy with fusion than it takes to create and sustain the reaction. Helion is still working on how to do that with its current prototype, called Polaris, which is housed in Everett, Washington, where it plans to build components for the machine to be built at Malaga, called Orion.

Ugh, this cost to the economy calculation because you aren't at your desk is not accurate. There is no way the loss is simply equivalent to your rough hourly rate for your time. There is no way to quantify whether for this or for bank holidays how much money was lost from the economy. Especially when salaried employees can still do their tasks for the week or month with or without that extra day.

Also, interaction with a Free and Open Source project ideally shouldn't require use of proprietary software.

Some examples of major open source projects that don't insist on Discord:

* KDE offers its own forums, mailing lists, IRC, Matrix, and, yes, Discord. [0]

* Gnome offers its own forums, and Matrix. [1] Its old mailing lists are archived but now closed.

* Postgres has mailing lists and IRC [2]

* The Linux kernel has mailing lists [3]

I’m near that magic number age with a few million but I also have health issues and I’m terrified all of it will be spent on treatment because of how the USA is being governed into flames by the current corrupt administration. It never ends, when I was young and healthy I saved as hard as a could for my old age and didn’t vacation. Now I’m there and there’s zero guarantee of safety because of the rightward shift of politics in this country. Maybe you just have to say “fuck it” like gen z. Because being a paranoid gen x sure sucks.

Mmm.

Threats of violence might get me to work for any of them; and I don't think I hate Amazon enough to do more than just not use it; but if I were somehow important enough to get a call from Zuckerberg, my answer would be "Meta delanda est", no matter how many digits or how cash-based the proposed offer was.

But I'm not important enough to be noticed, let alone called.

I'm sympathetic to a prohibition on big companies buying their competitors, but a 3x difference over two years seems too low to suggest that antitrust creates more pure business value.

First this is all hindsight now. We don't know the probabilities of this outcome vs. others. Figma's shareholders didn't at the time, which is why they chose to sell. Khan didn't either.

Second, 3x over two years isn't that much. There must be many opportunities in SV for all of Figma's employees and investors that could have given them a much higher return than that with much less risk.

I don't have this data, but one could look at secondary sales in the past two years as a measure of the increased risk and opportunity cost, right?

Any delay of people getting liquid impacts the creation of other startups, both by the Figma people who can now leave and do their own thing and for the companies Figma stakeholders would have invested in . This is super hard to measure but it is the kind of thing markets are good at measuring when they ask shareholders "sell now to Adobe or wait to IPO?"

This seems really good for Figma users, most of all. Most of the value destroyed by the acquisition would have been in the distortion and likely ultimate destruction of a company culture that made an insanely good product.

But those people are capable of going and making new products, and maybe Figma at its current phase is now too boring a thing for their talents, and should be managed by a more boring organization staffed by people who are slightly less able to make another Figma.

Who knows, but I doubt Khan (or any one individual or organization) is in a better position to assess the optimal delivery of what people want than the incentivized distributed intelligence of all the stakeholders and the people and markets around them.

Again, there are other reasons to do this that markets wouldn't quantify.

Why do these 'new' trucks feel they need to reinvent the wheel? I don't want something I need to 'reconfigure' to either carry people or a 4x8. I don't need seating for 4.

You make a good point. It's quite odd that I often feel more connection to users here despite the lack of 'friend' features.

Nonetheless I do. I suspect it's due to the relatively high average comment quality. I'm looking for a strong taste of belonging in a digital community. That nibble from HN evokes the same tantalizing possibility as rare discord servers and subreddits once did. None satisfy.

Let me share a personal story. Back in 2014 when I was working at Cloudflare on DDoS mitigation I collaborated a lot with a collage - James (Jog). I asked him loads of questions, from "how to login to a server", via "what is anycast" to "tell me how you mitigated this one, give me precise instructions you've run".

I quickly realised that these conversations had value outside the two of us - pretty much everyone else onboarded had similar questions. Some subjects were about pure onboarding friction, some were about workflows most folks didn't know existed, some were about theoretical concepts.

So I moved the questions to a public (within company) channel, and called it "Marek's Bitching" - because this is what it was. Pretty much me complaining and moaning and asking annoying questions. I invited more London folks (Zygis), and before I knew half of the company joined it.

It had tremendous value. It captured all the things that didn't have real place in the other places in the company, from technical novelties, through discussions that were escaping structure - we suspected intel firmware bugs, but that was outside of any specific team at the time.

Then the channel was renamed to something more palatable - "Marek's technical corner" and it had a clear place in the technical company culture for more than a decade.

So yes, it's important to have a place to ramble, and it's important to have "your own channel" where folks have less friction and stigma to ask stupid questions and complain. Personal channels might be overkill, but a per-team or per-location "rambling/bitching" channel is a good idea.

Curious about the controversy, reading this was only more confusing.

I learned to read by the phonics method, and the idea there are words whose meaning I don’t know. If you don’t know the meaning you try to intuit the meaning from it’s part of speech, context, and if you can’t figure it out, move on.

So I was surprised and confused reading this article to believe that readers were taught to skip the phonics and jump to some kind of gestalt of the word shape?

It should be no wonder that some people don’t like creative typography and layouts.
