got mistaken with previous polls. hamas not 40+ but 30+. 10 points higher than fatah and in case those that don't know who they vote for, won't vote - i guess hamas gets majority.

But PA promised to France/UK/Canada/Australia that Hamas wouldn't be allowed to participate in elections, so...

I can’t speak to whether it’s the _best_ compromise but if you see a screenshot of the way they dumb down the Camera app I think it does make it more clear that for example perhaps not a single reader of this website would ever find it remotely acceptable.

Like no video if I recall correctly. I mean I’m sure with infinite time someone would find a better compromise.

I do this fortnightly, and the feedback I'd give their UI /UX would be very explicit: you're letting a significant cohort down badly by some confusing choices.

"Why can't I delete those photos in icloud from here"

"Why does the thing I have to select move around?"

"What are all these ghost windows in safari and email and how do I get rid of them?"

"How do I yell at the clouds when this does not work?"

"How do I tell which bits are decoration and which bits are active?"

"What do you mean I can't take over my dead husbands account or move data from his account to my account"

I leave my work session at a `git add -p` invocation. Next morning I tab through that to get started. If I start at a clean terminal in the morning, it ends very badly - either I `cd dotfiles` and start tinkering and wasting time, or I start reading something online. As long as I start 15m before my teammates, I can get it past CI and up for review in the morning for them - same effect as if I had made the PR ready the previous evening.

Deciding what to work on is critical as you say, every startup I see have at least 10x the things they want to do compared to the number of people.

But you're working in a pretty well known area. You don't really need planning for all 1000ish people as you could take this well known area and divide it into pieces that are largely independent. These pieces are either just table stakes where you need to be good enough but not innovate, or they're part of your vision for how to differentiate from other PaaS companies. You can budget accordingly and let these pieces do their own planning with their importance for the overall vision as context. (If you don't have a vision, your company is probably a mistake. Why are you even there?)

If there's an area where you don't need to innovate much, but you need to catch up, they might actually do a 3 month plan. If there's an area vital for your vision, they are probably trying new things, learning and re-targeting. Three months is far too long to plan for them on a tactical level, and probably too short to actually deliver on the vision.

You can certainly have a quarterly checkup or something to see that all parts are working from an upper management level, but the useful planning horizon varies by problem area, and they don't really need to plan in the same way.

We do not want world war. We want good health care, good food and 4-day work weeks. Just chill out & enjoy life. Time is short.

More than happy if we can get an island and turn it into a free-for-all arena and then all you war mongers can go get it out of your system. Leave the rest of us in peace.

Maybe you should take a look at the IPC report, which details exactly how they know that Gaza is in the middle of a deliberately created, man-made famine.

Kenya has the ability to grow food. Gaza doesn't. Israel has destroyed 100% of the farmland and shoots anyone who walks around freely outside of a tiny fraction of the Gaza Strip.

I was in the same boat as you and sounds like others in this thread, >1000 hours in Blender over the past few years, but learned Fusion360 to be able to get parts lasercut and machined so had to go to proper parametric CAD format. The simple answer is use both - some things like making a simple bracket or fixture are just much easier in CAD. For organic shapes with lots of complexity, sub D modeling is far faster and easier IMO in Blender than the ways to achieve that in CAD (like T splines in Fusion).

The space between those 2 things is where you have to decide what you are really trying to accomplish. The program you use will have an impact on what your result looks like, you see this in the evolution of product design alongside the evolution of design software (boxy cars in the 80s, soap bars in the 90s, and the last few decades of cars with flowing designs with body line defining creases which modern A surface modelers seem to draw you towards). I find parts made in Blender with my workflow often look a lot more interesting and visually pleasing, using edge crease/bevel modifiers and sliding loops around vs. using fillets in CAD for instance, they both aim to soften an edge, but look far different in the end. If you are only ever going to 3D print parts and never CNC, you are already fast in Blender, and part strength vs mass doesn't matter much (especially to a degree where you don't care about FEA), Blender is plenty viable to make printed parts with.

You can footgun yourself easily with both programs, but I find Fusion to be worse for this, half because of the UI, but using tools like sketch projection for me has caused really diabolical issues in the timeline. The whole trick to CAD is being very careful with the design intention as you progress forwards, which is hard to learn coming from 3D modelers where that doesn't matter much and you can just shuffle around non destructive modifiers. This might just be due to my own experience difference in the programs though, I definitely remember going down some roads in Blender I never returned from on meshes when I was learning, normally by either applying subdivision modifiers, doing too many loop cuts, or using a tri/n-gon somewhere thinking it wouldn't be an issue or I would fix it later.

> The causation is opposite, and it's the whole problem with chronological feeds, including RSS - chronological feeds incentivises spam-posting, posters compete on quantity to get attention.

That doesn't make any sense. Quantity might make you more prominent in a unified facebook feed, but an RSS reader will show it like this:

Sam and Fuzzy (5) Station V3 (128)

They've always displayed that way. You never see one feed mixed into another feed. This problem can't arise in RSS. There is no such incentive. Quantity is a negative thing; when I see that I've missed 128 posts, I'm just going to say "mark all as read" and forget about them. (In fact, I have 174 unread posts in Volokh Conspiracy A† right now. I will not be reading all of those.)

† Volokh Conspiracy is hosted on Reason. Reason provides an official feed at http://reason.com/volokh/atom.xml . But Volokh Conspiracy also provides an independent feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/volokh/mainfeed . Some of their posts go into one of those feeds, and the rest go into the other. I can't imagine that they do this on purpose, but it is what they do.

There are like half a dozen wars of extermination currently occuring with lots of disturbing footage. Nobody really cares. Israel is close to home because it's an ally and we styled it as a Western-style democracy (versus something closer to the Middle Eastern democracy it is.)

It's not really 5$ a month. You can pay for just one month and then cancel the app. You can download it and use it even after that 1 month just without getting the updates. What really happens behind the scenes is that you just get removed as a collaborator from the project. So what you have locally (either the whole cloned repo or just the binaries) is all yours.

I am thinking about implementing one time payments but really it's a way of trying to sustain all my OSS projects for the long term.

I really tried hugo, but I gave up because of hugo's many annoyances --- breaking changes in versions a mere few months apart (why????), yet another arbitrary templating system, poor support for org-mode out of the box, lots of impedance mismatch with ox-hugo (a valiant effort), runs a local server for local development, injects javascript for live refresh, etc...

Don't get me wrong, it is a really nice project which I do recommend to people who don't want to go down the path of writing their own custom site maker... The single-binary formula allows hugo to offer a much better set of trade-offs than the competition.

But... if you can write your own, write your own. It is a glorious yak shave.

My only tip will be to avoid all dependencies like the plague. For stability and sanity.

The upshot... After over two years of using my dinky-ass handmade pandoc-usin' (not even parallelised) static site maker, I feel hugo is not even as fast as what I have.

"send end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) emails to anyone, even if the recipient uses a different email provider" but the video shows Gmail asking the recipient to authenticate. How does that work? If a Gmail user sends an email to my self-hosted server, there is nowhere to authenticate me to.

And it means either Gmail or the actual email stores decryption keys, so what is the threat model in which E2EE is useful here?

The only "advantage" I see is that now recipients must manually archive these "encrypted" emails if they want to keep access to them in the future (so most of them won't). That would be consistent with Google's strategy with AMP's editable emails.

You were refuted in a sibling post. I am not sure what is unclear to you in that situation. Can you screenshot what you think is at fault? Because if it is that subtle, it isn't working.

I think antisemitism is becoming a very elastic concept to neuter any criticism. And, by the way, the Palestinians are a semitic people too. So it should be antijudaism.

>Where are you getting this notion that tech exports are a major source of FX for Israel? Or that Israel would stop being a tech centre if America turned its back on it? (And again, major emerging gas exporter.)

From their own economic publications. Tech exports are 53% of their export output. Gas is a laughable non-issue. Like I said earlier, the middle east is full of it. It's not a significant source of leverage since every third country has it.

>UN sanctions are way less biting than American secondary sanctions alone.

You can always tunnel around sanctions, but it kills a lot of your open-market economy. You have to sell for a lower, discounted price. Acquisitions and mergers are effectively over. Sales shrink by a lot. Your largest companies move away to avoid contagion. I mean, have you ever read about the sanctions on Rhodesia & south Africa?

>They're...still around. And they never had a weapons sector like Israel's.

They're severely, terribly weakened. Even China won't sell them any modern airframes. That should tell you something.

>I get this is your hypothesis. It simply isn't sustained. This is before we get to the point that if a couple Western countries sanction Israel for shits and giggles, there is a lot of money to be made by someone defecting and acting 'neutrally'.

I have evidence of Western & non-western countries banding together to sanction consistent bad actors, despite being even more Western than Israel will ever be. Do you have any evidence of any country surviving sanctions without severe economic damage? Please share; my viewpoint has abundant proof. I'm just supposed to believe yours.

>Again, there seem to be folks who like to see patterns that sustain extreme outcomes that support a moral view of the world. You're having to go three levels deep for every turn because the most precedented outcome here is everyone forgets and moves on.

I don't have a dog in the fight. Both countries could die to the last man and I'd still go on my merry way, whistling. I'm simply projecting based on history, which is why I cite precedent that you refuse to admit.

Yeah, I'm in my 40s, and I can barely operate any type of smart phone. UI and UX design is out the window, and people expect phone to do more and more. I'd argue that the current form fact simply isn't suitable for what we ask if it.

If you don't care about the phone, like many seniors, and just want a tiny slice of the functionality it can bring you, then modern smart phones are insane difficult to use.

When people ask if I can help with their phone, and they aren't my parents, then the answer is always "No". I don't understand smart phone and I don't care to learn. They are forced upon me by others, they are hard to operate, they hurt my eyes and makes me feel sick if I have to look at the screen for more than a few minutes.

Being arrested is fine if due process is followed. ICE isn't following due process because they are pieces of shit.

Multiple times now they've been found to have removed innocent people with little chance of recourse. Only after huge public outcry have ICE been shamed into returning a select few.

So 100% people should be avoiding potential removal without due process.

I switched to iPhone from Android for a few months earlier this year. I don't think I qualify as an elderly person yet (I'm 47) but even I had trouble figuring things out. I don't think it was super-hard to use, but I often found myself asking "Why would they do it like this? Who uses a smart-phone like this?". I just found some things very unintuitive. Take for example re-arranging icons. I don't know if I would ever have figured out this technique without looking it up:

20 years ago everyone said the exact same thing about Google Search.

I mean, how could you possibly build a $3T company off of a search input field, when users can just decide to visit a different search input field??

Surprise. Brand is the most powerful asset you can build in the consumer space. It turns out monetization possibilities become infinite once you capture the cultural zeitgeist, as you can build an ecosystem of products and eventually a walled garden monopoly.

Some of these warts are problems with security, or data integrity, or resource usage, etc.

It's a difference of opinion more than it is a conflation with something else.

My _personal_ preference is that software does the "correct" thing by default even if it breaks my build or my tests or even running software; I would rather it break visibly than work nefariously.

Agreed. However, the weight of the DOJ and DOD (aka: DOW) are enough to make even Apple flinch, unsurprisingly.

> There's a[n] irony here

There are so many ironies and strange twists. If I remember the previous apologies, it was because conspiracy theories were being suppressed along with bad vaccine information. It was predominantly Republican lines of questioning during these hearings even though it was "under Biden."

The current administration wants to now censure in the opposite direction, weaponizing the very thing Republicans fought against in order to push current agendas. Nothing has really changed, it has just progressed.

If you make a “random new Gmail one time” and use that everywhere, that email address, for the purpose of tracking, is your actual email. People correlating your data across sites will not be able to infer your name from your email address, but that’s it.

I find this take naive. First, to have a zero sum game or indeed a positive sum game you have to be playing with perfect information with rationally behaving actors. Given most organisations have high levels of uncertainty and are resource constrained you can’t rationally make positive sum game decisions as the interpretation of uncertainty is cardinal to it - and additionally the resource constraint means different views of that uncertainty will tend to bias towards the thing they know best - engineers will find more certainty in build, marketers in marketing, designers in design - take your pick.

This necessitates collaborative information synthesis to resolve uncertainty uniformly to then be able to play a positive sum game under constraints. This is possible but it necessitates exchange of information between different business functions.

As informational clarity is a communicative process with repetitive feedback cycles, it will tend to have a big delay in the overarching system of decision-making. Therefore a shortcut is to influence, i.e. use conviction processes to shorten the cycle, rather than repeat to arbitrary infinity in order to drive perfect information alignment.

Therefore influencing is a necessary component even in an otherwise perfectly healthy and incentive aligned positive sum system of rational actors - and politics are influencing.

The problem becomes when conviction isn’t used as shortcut for informational clarity but as a method of exploitation of irrationality of human actors - this is bad politics.

What I do agree with is that putting in place right incentives, processes and organisational structure minimises politics - and in an org with rational actors this is the goal.

But good luck hiring perfectly rational actors in each function, that will still behave rationally in an economic downturn :).

Christian Zionist support for Israel is 100% based off vibes. Hitler's plan to invade Russia & exterminate its people for living space was based off Master Race vibes. America's Manifest destiny was based off vibes. Anti-communist domino theory was based off vibes and 58k young American kids died in Vietnam for it, not counting the 153k maimed and injured. Japan's imperial delusions that got them nuked was based off vibes.

Want me to go on?

Would you kindly name them, good sir? Off the top of my head, I think Sudan. But, no Westerner really cares about Sudan. Israel they do care about because of the media onslaught and their countries' stance on the issue. It's one of those conflicts you just can't unsee.

An occupation is not apartheid.

Israel tried that...Palestinians straight up voted for Hamas terrorists[0] who promptly eliminated voting rights(although based on opinion polling Hamas would likely be elected again).

> give them a state

Israel tried moving towards that in Gaza[1], it backfired spectacularly leading to the current conflict.

Any other ideas on how to move towards peaceful coexistence? I think the first step is some sort of de-radicalization program, but not sure how one would implement that.

People find all kinds of things to worry about if it gives them something to do, I guess.

In the same way that my elderly grandmother binge watches CNN to have something to worry about.

But the commenter I responded to DID care about the stock market, despite your attempt to grandstand.

And my point was, and still is, if you really believe it’s a bubble and you don’t actually have a short position, then you don’t actually believe it’s a bubble deep down.

Talk is cheap - let’s see your positions.

It would be like saying “I’ve got this great idea for a company, I’m sure it would do really well, but I don’t believe it enough to actually start a company.”

Ok, then what does that actually say about your belief in your idea?

I understand you're trying to perform reductio ad absurdum but I would like to point out that the proposition is less absurd than you make out.

E.g. if Ancel Keys died at 50 then health risks of sugar consumption would have been accepted by the scientific community decades earlier saving tens of millions of lives. I certainly don't suggest to euthanize anyone however I'm glad he died eventually. In fact I'm glad everyone dies eventually me included.

> For the usual situations where the compiler would use a single conditional move on any other ISA it now needs multiple instructions

Only if you need the full properties of cmove. In many cases it just generates a single Zicond.

While some companies implement a 3R1W integer pipeline and use fusion, others keep the integer side 2R1W. If you use 2R1W you can get wider issue for the same area, if you have a four issue integer pipeline you may be able to add a fifth integer execition unit for cheaper than moving it to 3R1W, which may give you a higher performance gain.

Conservative populists meet people where they are and talk to their fears and dissatisfactions. 'Hey I see you're working hard but still struggling, It didn't used to be like that, and hey .. look at all these foreigners around now .. isn't so unfair this 'tax free' shopping they get to do? How come you're in your own country and struggling, but foreigners are paying less for things..' where as socially or culturally progressive side of things what ever you want to call it is more likely to start with 'hey that thing you're doing is wrong and you need to change that', even if they are in fully realised practice the more accepting and inclusive of the two..
