" We will clean Gaza of every potential murderer, and everyone there is a potential murderer." - Michal Woldiger, member of the Israeli Knesset

"Tulkarm and Jenin will look like Jabalia and Shujaiya. Nablus and Ramallah will look like Rafah and Khan Younis. They too will be uninhabitable ruins, their residents will be forced to migrate and seek a new life in other countries." - Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister of Israel

"It's a simple matter, existential and survival, of wiping these crazy Amalekites off the face of the Earth. Like the Nazis, so with Hamas: we will fight them and hunt them forever. Until not one of them is left. This is a Jewish commandment. This is an Israeli commandment. This is a historic commandment. And today's pictures are just another reminder of what we must not forget for a single moment: the nature of this deranged enemy. And why they must be wiped off the face of the earth." - Shai Golden, Channel 14 News

"Gazans will be concentrated in a very defined area and live as refugees their whole lives without water or electricity until they decide, of their own accord, to emigrate." - Eyal Shalit Snir, Lt. Col. in the Israeli military

"Anyone who stays there [in north Gaza] will be judged by law as a terrorist and will go through either a process of starvation or a process of extermination." - Uzy Raby, Professor of Middle Eastern History, Tel Aviv University

[Quotes taken from zionism dot observer, a website that aggregates statements from Israeli sources]

I think there's a sort of naivete amongst people who don't pay close attention to the realities of Israel's social and political climate, and simply ascribing a sort of ghoulish evil to the vague bloc of 'nationalist' or 'religious' right-wing is simply not true. Genocidal intent permeates every level of Israeli society, from citizenry to the highest decision-making levels of the government, to all strata of the military. Israel is a fascist society and it's plain to see. This is a Pandora's Box that cannot be shut anymore, and people won't magically unsee or forget the horrors that are broadcast on a daily basis on social media. The ghastly accusations of 'Pallywood' don't cut it anymore, either. The sheer speed of information dissemination has ensured that whatever horrors the Palestinians are experiencing the rest of the world sees in real time, as opposed to being memoryholed for 5-10 years, then uncovered in a viral tweet. Now, every airstrike is actually recorded as it happens, alongside its outcome.

Yeah exactly. Wouldn't it be easier to make it self reported but use a mechanism to incentivize accurate market prices. Like enforce that the owner can't sell for more than x% the reported amount and rents are capped based on the reported amount. Use of the property as collateral has to match the reported value. You can only be insured for value up to that reported number. Lots of things the state can do to create that incentive.

I'd say you are underestimating the industries being propped up by the AI Boom.

To name a few examples - Construction (the industry pivoted to DCs) [0], the entire hardware industry (from personal experience CHIPS act recipients pivoted to AI-hype because of slow reimbursement rates), whatever tech hiring that even exists in the US at this point is itself looped into and justified by the AI boom or capital that is 1-2 degrees removed from the AI boom, the entire energy industry is tied to the AI boom [1], and the renewables industry in the US is increasingly AI-washed now as well [2] because of the ending of IRA and IIJA disbursements under Trump.

This wouldn't be a 2008 sized event, but it would be a bloodbath comparable to the Telecom Bust (2001) and the Dot Com Bust (2001). I would trust that every HNer would be worried about such a situation because of how existential a risk it would be for the entire tech industry - which employs most people on this forum.

and the whole swiping from the button [bottom?] kept making the screen go down to the bottom half

This happens to me way more than I would like. For the life of me, I can't figure out the utility in being able to move my lock screen 1/2 way down the phone and have blank space on top. I don't know what this feature is or how I would activate it if I actually wanted to.

My only complain about niri is that after a few weeks without reboot I end up with ~500 terms open, as I often open a new shell to check something, get distracted, and forget about it as it scrolls out of the view... (I usually notice at the 400-500 mark because this machine starts swapping noticeably, and closing it all is a chore that usually ends in pkill without checking...)

Maybe a bit more self discipline would help :)

>hardcore pawn [sic] clips

Here's a link to the wiki for actual reality television show that exists in real life, Hardcore Pawn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_Pawn). That isn't a misspelling. Welcome to the phase of the TrumpTok Takeover where We Need To Do Something To Protect The Children. I wish you luck in the Telescreen portion. Remember, if you make woke facial expressions at the camera during any of the daily loyalty oaths you will be declared Antifa and reeducated.

>After a “small number of clicks” the researchers encountered pornographic content ranging from women flashing to penetrative sex.

Where? I'm a grown ass adult who likes sex and has had a tiktok account for years now and I can't find any of this. I can find people dancing, dressed in a way that would be perfectly acceptable in public, but where are the women flashing and penetrative sex? Can anyone confirm that they've seen any of these things at all on TikTok, not to mention after a "small number of clicks"?

When you look at total real returns over longer time scales, the current period in time is not unusual.

https://totalrealreturns.com/s/SPY

We're not far from the long term trend of 6.15%/yr on the S&P500, just slightly above.

The deviation above the long-term trend was much larger in the run-up to 2001. It's like we're in 1997 now.

Not saying a correction isn't likely, just that it's easy to scare yourself by looking at linear, non-inflation adjusted plots.

A soccer mom I know shared that she once tried TikTok. Within seconds of installing the app, the algorithm was showing nsfw content. She uninstalled it.

I assume that the offending content was popular but hadn’t been flagged yet and that the algorithm was just measuring her interest in a trending theme; it seems like it would be bad for business to intentionally run off mainstream users like that.

The funny thing is, I agree with you about the contradictions in recognizing borders for the state of Israel, depending on what they're arguing at any particular time.

The borders of a potential Palestinian state and the state of Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan is one of the most difficult conundrums to consider. I can think of a few "resolutions", none of them really "solutions". I make a huge effort to understand the Israeli side, the greater Arab side, the general Muslim side, and the side of the Palestinians who actually live there. Very few people - from any of those categories - make any effort to understand anybody else's side.

> I read 'not what I'm used to'

That's a fair argument to be made. But in my case, I grew up on Mac OS 9 which had mostly the same key sequences. I transitioned to Windows, and that was definitely "not what I'm used to". But then moving into Linux, almost everything can be configured and the user experience across apps is consistent. Except for the terminal that needs control-shift-c instead of control-c, but that's because terminals inherit control-c for tty control.

On macOS/X? Nope, I've made up my mind: macOS has inane keyboard layouts, reduced key availability, and many things can't be reached at all by just by tabbing around a few times.

Interesting article just for how the structures tell stories about history of the place, under such unique constraints.

Browsing the site made me find the "Engineering for slow internet" article too, which appears to have been a big thing here lol. Very interesting! Dunno if Elon's Starlink already one-shotted that whole issue, but I imagined a whole remote access piece of software that could avoid a lot of the related pains ... Something across lines of remote sending low bitdepth very compressed images back, and only on user interaction, clicks / typing in the input fields working in "turns" instead of realtime-by-default. Constraining the bitrate even more, the returned data could be just rects with AI labeling them either "some graphic" or "text" with the text content of the image only being transmitted. The remote could also send basic updates based on reading the screen like "page loaded and visual of it has been static for x seconds" to avoid wasting any data.

You might try Hammerspoon[0] with PaperWM.spoon[1] on macOS. This is what I use, and while it has quirks, it works better than not having it.

The point made is a perfectly sensible one if you include a bit more context:

> Amid all the battles and conquest, however, Æthelstan brought a cosmopolitan flair to his new kingdom. Today there is a tendency – particularly among the far right – to depict early England as being cut off from the rest of Europe, and homogeneous in its cultural makeup. In truth, the newly formed kingdom of England was an outward-looking society.

> "There's been a big debate about the very use of the word Anglo-Saxon, so much so that people in our field of scholarship are not using the word anymore, and are going towards Early Medieval instead because of the connotations that Anglo-Saxon now has with the far right," says Woodman. "When [the term Anglo-Saxon] is invoked by the far right, they're thinking of it as very one-dimensional – people from one background in England in the 10th Century."

> In fact, that's a big misconception of what the period was like. "It was actually a very diverse place in early 10th Century. I always think about Æthelstan's Royal Assemblies, and there were people there from lots of different kingdoms within England, Britain more widely, from Europe. They were speaking a multiplicity of languages, Old Welsh, Old Norse, Old English, Latin. I just feel [the term Anglo-Saxon] is used without thinking, and without factual detail about the early 10th Century."

> Downham agrees. "There was a lot of cultural variety in the area we call England today. There wasn't this English monolith that started in 500AD."

>it's anything but a tool for casual 3D scene modelling or level design, requiring a huge time investment for learning and keep memorizing its awkward UI.

It’s a lot better than it used to be, however, your argument that’s it’s merely a casual tool is incorrect. Features films have been made with it. AAA games have used it. Your frustration is your own. Knowing 3D, I find blender extremely welcoming. Sure, it could use some more work on texture painting but it’s got grease pencil which is a god damn game changer.

>But a traditional property tax incentivizes keeping a lot empty,

Looking around, i think you're incorrect.

>as soon as you create something on it, you start having to pay more tax -- regardless of whether the thing you created is generating revenue.

you're paying your fair share for the police, fire protection, etc. as building something increases the need for such services even when you don't gneerate revenue.

>Another way of thinking about it is: most taxes, including income and property taxes, disincentivize productive economic activity.

That is patently false. The taxes in no way disincentivize me going to work, and they don't affect my desire to make even more money and to start my own business.

There are taxes designed to decrease activity, like 90% income tax, yet they pretty rare, far from the "most".

All fair points, and I AM being hypercritical here just due to the context of my comment. If I were to be as critical of any other OS I'm sure I could write an equally long list, and at the end of the day I only bothered to write the comment because I LIKE Windows and wish it wasn't getting worse over time.

Still, I would argue that almost all of the new features you mention are architectural things that advantage the enterprises, not the individual user. Some are even locked to pro/enterprise users behind licensing. Even for those lucky enough to work within those enterprises, it's not the end user who is advantaged. From their perspective Windows does nothing new, it's just slower and provides a worse user experience.

Further, several of those "features" exist only because Windows is still crippled by preserving backwards compatibility, and therefore is saddled with a legacy security model they're forced to continue trying to bolt solutions onto. The cybersecurity situation becoming so bad that the OS needs to ship with an EDR isn't a benefit to anyone.

It's like trying to turn a canvas tent into a bank vault. You can never do a great job of it and throwing in the padlock for free because congress would shut you down if you didn't do SOMETHING isn't a "feature". Worse, the padlock doesn't actually stop intruders, it just inconveniences legitimate users.

The idea is that between around 3pm and 6pm every Saturday, outwith international breaks when international teams play (e.g. World Cup), no TV station in the UK is allowed to air live football. 3pm is the main kick off time.

The idea is that this encourages people to go to their local football team instead of watching the game on TV.

For a small island, there are massive amount of football teams. If you're American you're probably only familiar with the 'Premier League' with teams like Manchester United/City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. and maybe the Scottish Premier League with Celtic and Rangers, and maybe Championship thanks to 'Welcome to Wrexham' but there are leagues and leagues below, it goes very deep until you get to teams literally just playing on a bit of grass behind a church in a small village and the local gym teacher being the referee.

The blackout is supposed to mean you go to whatever team is nearest or easiest to get to for you, going to big team Premier League games is very expensive if not impossible unless you have silly money to spend or wait years (I mean like 10+ years for a season ticket).

But it doesn't really work for a lot of people. If you moved away for university etc. you might still want to watch your team but the only local team is your team's rival. Or you would end up watching the village football team game.

Most games are aired abroad for expats and foreign fans, but UK residents are unable to watch those legally, hence the growth in fire sticks.

While I'd prefer to get the first legislative crack at it, I am extremely convinced that the filibuster is poison to our country.

Congress cannot pass anything meaningful except one omnibus spending bill each year via budget reconciliation, which has arcane rules around flat budget impact after 10 years. Since congress can't do anything, we naturally move more and more of the details of federal governance to executive agencies and executive orders. While not all of this is bad, it has a few horrible effects.

First, the supreme court is more willing to interfere with executive action, amplifying its power as it finds reason to protect actions by the favored party and cancel actions by the disfavored party. Increasing the power of the supreme court shifts federal power towards an unelected branch that is the slowest to adjust to changing voter preference.

Second, as more power within the executive gets concentrated specifically with the president we enable more and more federal action at the whims of exactly one person. This exposes us to the current situation, where Trump is unfettered in how he wields the executive branch rather than guiding it and having its power distributed across the executive branch.

And we've also got the general popular dissatisfaction with congress and the democratic process because they can't get shit done. A country that has an enormously unfavorable opinion of congress is more primed for collapse into anti-democratic governance.

Yes, if we didn't have the filibuster then the GOP could pass all sorts of nightmare legislation. But I'd prefer legislation enabled through the will of the people to this slow collapse into authoritarianism.

What proportion of the population would you expect to have deep interest in geopolitics? To get a relevant level in it, as for anything, citizen would need dedicated resources. Many Europeans citizen already have many alarm signals regarding their socio-economical faith at their narrow individual level. Even if US and Russia were not actively working both at destroying it with all the means they have without direct military confrontation, its own political oligarchy is already doing a fantastic job at destroying it at the macro level.

What do you think European average citizen should do to make its future actually cast a shiny prison prospection?

Not just TikTok, I checked out SnapChat because my kid is the last one in his class to not have it (according to him). First movie I see 2 people falling off an e-bike, pretty painful, then someone making fun of someone with down syndrome, then some weirdly squirming middle aged women with duck faces, and then some very young ones (pretending to?) * off someone off screen while staring into the camera.

Also I denied all access but it still suggested all my sons friends? How? Oh, and it won't even start without access to cameras.

I was pretty shocked. Still, friend off mine, a teacher tells me: You can't let your kid not have SnapChat, it's very important to them.

The Chinese apparently say: Just regulate! TikTok in our country is fun, educational even with safeguards against addiction. Because they mandate it. Somehow we don't want that here? We see it as overreach? Well I'm ready for some overreach (not ChatControl overreach, but you get what I mean). We leave it all up to the parents here, and all parents say: "Well my kid can't be the only one to not have it."

Meanwhile the kids I speak to tell me they regularly have vapeshops popping up in SnapChat, some dudes sell vapes with candy flavors (outlawed here) until the cops show up.

Yeah, we also did stupid things, I know, we grew up, found pron books in the park (pretty gross in retrospect), drank alcohol as young as 15, etc. I still feel this is different. We're just handing it to them.

Edit: Idk if you ever tried SnapChat but it is TikTok, chat, weird AI filters and something called "stories" which for me features a barely dressed girl in a Sauna.

Does this or any other scrollable-tiling WM remember your preferred size of windows per-application? For instance, if I open a new Firefox window, I always want it to be the same width and full height. If I open a terminal, I want it to be half-height and the width I've set for terminals.

Ideally, I'd want to set that in a configuration, so if I made adjustments to a window one time it wouldn't change the default sizes.

It's right of your editor, where it started.

If you have (having had "Editor" focused, and just opened "TermT"):

Editor | (TermT) | Term | Browser (FM) | Term | Browser | etc.

(where pipe delimits a pane and parens are the active pane), if you go "next desktop" from "TermT" (the terminal at /tmp), that moves you down the stack of desktops. Moving up the stack of desktops returns with focus on "TermT". You'd then go "left pane" from "TermT" to get back to the editor.

The answer (for me) is to think of desktops as topics. The terminal on /tmp is with the things that prompted its creation. If I needed to check some log output, for example, it's with the project that made that log output.

Edit: Note that there's nothing keeping you from stacking those terms if you like, i.e., the appropriate keybinding goes from the previous to

Editor | (TermT), Term | Browser (FM) | Term | Browser | etc.

where the terms stack vertically in the ribbon of the desktop.

> one of the nicest one of the big tech in term of Open Source. They have great valuable project[s] that are technically good

I agree, many of the big tech corps - even Microsoft - have technically excellent and actually useful projects with open source license. But I wouldn't call any of the companies "nice" since their only purpose is to make profit, usually by exploiting their workers and users. Companies are convenient fictions, one can go up in flames and another will take its place. (Though of course "tres comas" unicorns are one in a million.)

But all that money sure attracts great talent, with some doing great open-source work. It's those individuals who should be valued for contributing to the good of humanity - in spite of the overall system within which they work.

Graph databases are one of those things that sound neat but you'll be hard pressed to find people using them that don't regret it.

I memorably had a job interview which consisted almost entirely of their senior architect going over exactly why he regretted introducing Neo4J several years earlier and how all the work is really about getting away from it. That was just the most extreme example.

The truth that people here don't like is that the Couch/Mongo style document DB is far more compelling as a intermediate point of structured/unstructured. There was even a mongo DB compatibility layer for foundation DB, but it doesn't seem to be maintained sadly. https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-document-layer

Yep the Facebook/Twitter lobbyists must be at the "Think of the children!" stage of the playbook now, instead of actually competing for once.

Guess those dumb TikTok-wannabe Shorts/Stories didn't work out.

Up next: Terrorist attacks coordinated via TikTok?

Or maybe a school shooting, leading to a ban on TikTok instead of guns.

Oh Murica..

Then we should both do everything that we can to end this war before the death toll get to the "hundreds of thousands of defenseless civilians" stage.

How about Israel stop fighting, right now? Right this minute. The magazines come out of the rifles and the fighter jets stay on the ground. As soon as the Gazans decide that this is what they want, they can return the hostages and this will happen.
