* You're mixing up a 2000 dose transfer between the West Bank and Gaza that was approved, and "allowing only 2000 doses" which is strictly false - there were a number of transfers, e.g. the UAE sending 20000 doses to Gaza. Israel won't stop the Sputnik delivery.

* Israel never agreed that 4th Geneva applies, and regardless that has been signed away in Oslo.

* The PA is welcome to import vaccines, but they'll have to pay like anyone else. Given their terrorist payment budget, there's no shortage of money.
I too am very curious. I've seen this same message repeated a few times now. I've noticed there strange echoing in the reporting and messaging around this whole event, so I'm taking it all with a grain of salt.

My assumption is that if someone/something hadn't reacted quickly and cut load off the grid & remaining generators, the entire grid could've been pulled offline by the load. Since the TX grid would've been in bad shape, and isolated from others, a Black Start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_start is what could've taken months.

I'm not any sort of expert, but I know that getting phases of AC grid synced back up can be tricky.
On Windows this is called COM. A non-Microsoft equivalent would be CORBA.
An option that just occurred to me:

- use edge workers to fetch and insert data as the page is being returned to the client

That would work in browsers with JS disabled.

You could also have client-side code to update with live data as it comes in.

The downside is that it’s not very portable code, but that’s the same for most serverless stuff, and it’s probably not that difficult to re-implement on another platform.
Thanks for creating this, it looks fantastic, I just bought it! I love that it's a nice layer over QEMU / Apple's Hypervisor, so i know the performance will be reasonable. One bit of feedback you might consider: Most of the VMs in your gallery are for ARM64, and the x86 one is quite an old version of Ubuntu. Would you consider making a couple more modern x86 versions? My requirement is to have an x86 VM for deployments to Lambda, cross compiling Rust using Docker on M1 simply doesn't work yet and I'm hoping your app will do the trick :) Thanks!

I find that sometimes after work I don't want to talk to anyone, but minutes after getting into a Lyft, I feel happier because the driver has energized me with their personality and conversation.
Funny, they actually timeout your authorization after a fairly short time. I downloaded a bunch when this was first posted, then went back to grab one more and got redirected to the sign-in page, then got rejected due to heavy traffic.
If you look at a high enough level of abstraction, the current series of GP-GPUs are basically a large collection of vector processors with a fast interconnect between them -- one that mirrors the mechanism Cray used in its supercomputing system (X-MP, Y-MP). The main difference is one of scale.

These are currently limited in scope of applications, but they are very well suited to applications that were formerly the domain of specialized vector supercomputers, so I think that they will be big in supercomputing even if they don't grow in versatility. However, I think that they will, especially with Intel getting into the biz.

Intel may not very good at building graphics processors and drivers, but Intel is VERY good at building on-chip interconnects, small processors, and very fast on-die caches. That ought to make for some interesting competition, since nVidia and AMD aren't constrained by the x86 ISA, while Intel is.
Things that are critical to national security should be able to defend themselves from botnets (most likely by firewalling themselves from the public Internet). I think these threats are vastly overstated, mostly by people trying to get more power in to the hands of the government.

As for shutting down hosts involved in a bot net, a court order can do that in an emergency already. Sure, it adds a delay, but it also adds oversight and separates policy from mechanism. The executive branch controls the policy, while the courts control the mechanism.

Sometimes the direct approach is best, core of his advice:

"First, confirm that you are talking with the right person--the one who can carry out the commitment that gets made. Then, just be friendly and direct, like this: Hi, this is Jim Grable from Impact Paper and Ink, and I’m calling about the $500 balance on your account. Would you please write a check for that amount and send it in today? Thank you."
Maybe like zillow, combined with Bing 3D maps, but with comments?
Maybe one reason, but not the number one reason... I mean it took Microsoft ~5 years just to update from IE6 to 7. That alone can explain their downfall. They waited until developers had almost 6+ years to use and evangelize a non-IE browser, and by then they just kept falling behind. Lack of extensions was more like the nail in the coffin than the ultimate cause of death for IE.
Computers are not yet capable of dealing with engine failure on take off as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549 and probably some other system failures. Maybe in the future.

LinkedIn has done a good job of creating a social network for the professional aspect of your life. You can have co-workers who you enjoy working with, respect, like, but they still might not really be your friends.

But I think LinkedIn's success is partly because Facebook hasn't solved the social context issue. Work vs. friends is very important, but there are also differences in how we act with close friends vs acquaintances, friends vs. family, or even close friends that we met at different points in our lives. That would be a very difficult problem to solve cleanly, are there any social networks that are trying?
NeWS was pretty cool... I remember coding for it back in 1989-1990... mostly because of display PostScript stuff...
One of the best examples of this being the increasing gap between memory and CPU speeds. Good cache usage is far more important than before.
This was the concept between some subsidized housing in the mid 20th century, and was for the most part a failed experiment in architecture.

The two significant differences here are 1) government officials and law enforcement are part of the housing complex and not external; 2) since they aren't housing projects, the buildings don't have automatic class stigma.
I'd say there are many different levels of "enterprisey" sales, depending on the deal size and whether you're selling to a small, medium, or large entity, and whether it's public or private. A competitive bidding process is nothing like a discretionary purchase.

Pros:
* Sometimes they're not spending their own money. Especially if they're spending grant money, simply price your package for the amount of the grant. They may have no incentive to save money if it's use-it-or-lose-it.
* Enterprises or gov't sometimes have plenty of money to throw around, especially in the above scenario. Come up with as many frivolous "add-on" features as you can, put ridiculous price tags on it, and watch clients inexplicably check all the boxes. SMS notifications for only $5000/year? Deal!
* Big government contracts may be for 5 years of service paid upfront. Think about what that does to your cashflow.

Cons:
* Your soul withers away.

What's the point of teaching people to program? Why is this a non-profit? Why not make this a for-profit entity? Does this have noble goals that aren't addressed by a free and for-profit market? If so, what are those goals? Is this the best way to achieve those goals?
>The attack made the code throw and exception and some of my escaping characters caused havoc with their error logger

Heh, something similar happened to me during a recent audit. I didn't even know until an admin emailed me saying that I'd broken a bunch of batched jobs, and not to test that until it was fixed.

>A generic, flimsy, non-personal "everyone can try and 'hack' us and it's OK" policy published somewhere is just too little protection

It hasn't worked out too badly for me. I stay away from industries with lots of "suits" (banking, etc,) but if a company is implicitly encouraging independent pentesting by publicly crediting reporters, and you act in good faith, I can't see any charges sticking.
It's mostly the rain that got to them. Cattle have been genetically engineered, I mean bred, for cold tolerance. They can't handle moisture combined with the cold.

Checking out some of the Fresnel videos on Youtube really helps one appreciate the power of the Sun. If the new material can withstand 700 C then point a Fresnel at it and hook up the output to a Stirling engine for conversion to electricity.

Can it? It seemed to require root to install when I last tried.
This is not financial advice however, I’d try to find valuations of similar companies at similar stages, factor in growth numbers, growth potential and lifetime value per user.
Pick something small and write it. A firefox extension? An iphone app? A website that randomly picks toppings for nachos? Some task with an Arduino, since you are interested in hardware?

Just work on it until you're satisfied with it, or come up with a better idea to hack on.
Is there any good resources to learn about derivatives, options, etc? The nomenclature of finance is extremely difficult to understand.
>the postulating of the lumeferious ether

Fairly sure that's the just a progressive step towards Einstein's model.

It is difficult to define wrong in a scientific context since everything is just model that matches observations. Of course, as more observations come, models will be naturally disproved. That doesn't mean they were wrong for the entirety of their existence which I think was your point, but you haven't applied it to the examples you raised.

In the example of ether, It was believed to be permeate all matter and the medium for light to travel through. It explained all observations at that time until the Michelson-Morley experiment which settled it.
This is horrifyingly devoid of content. I mean is this supposed to be useful to someone? I shudder to think of who that person might be and what responsibilities they might have.
Sounds like an ETF that invests in private companies. I don't see a big deal.

It's not much different than NYSE:GLD.

If people feel that it's a poor investment strategy they don't need to invest in it. This whole model is probably a phenomenal way to get public money into a private company and avoid all that regulatory BS that public companies need to go through. (Note: If you think the regulations are great then just avoid investing in this kind of company)
Ux issue. I've had the same thing happen, including an ad being clicked that shared my personal data.

I got robo-calls because of this for a year.
What type of scan could be used to detect things like this? Are these done regularly at historical sites?
There are lots of variants of this kind of unnecessary “friction” and I wish that legislation would be able to ban all of these awful behaviors instead of just specific examples of them.

For example, my cable company peppers its web site with ways to “upgrade” your plan easily online. Great, guess what’s missing: an easy way to downgrade anything, e.g. to fewer channels or slower Internet. Obviously they do this for exactly the same reason as the call-us-to-cancel crap but it is just different enough that they could probably keep doing it and still be in compliance with a poorly-written law.

And on the off chance something actually requires talking to a human, it is well past time to end this wait-hours-on-hold crap. Why can’t I log into my profile on the company web site, type in my phone number, describe my issue and then say CALL ME whenever the hell you manage to find an employee who is free to discuss? Furthermore, such calls could be punctuated with texts, e.g. “thank you for contacting us, please expect a call in about 10 minutes” or whatever. That stuff would have been straightforward to implement 10 years ago, much less now.
Presumably this friction is built into the price of the service and disclosed. The known friction should stop you from signing up knowing the cost of cancelling (if it's too much).
I once wanted to measure the temperature dependence of some electronics component. Aha, I thought, I don't need no oven or such fancy things, I will just do my measurement while cranking up the room temperature, which I can record with a thermocouple!

I wondered why the thermocouple always returned to the same "room temperature" after half an hour or so, even though I and everyone else began transpiring heavily. It took me embarrassingly long to realize that the thermocouple only gives you the temperature difference between the two points of contact (tip and inside multimeter), and the multimeter took half an hour or so to warm up.
I think a lot of the issues that result in high resource usage emerge from the way as a society we change the norms of what is considered 'essential'.

A lot of the time, responsible decision making just has to be thrown aside if you want to actually function.

Take owning a car as an example (UK perspective here; may differ in the US). With some effort, you can structure your life in such a way that one is not necessary and therefore get by via cycling/public transport.

That may mean huge sacrifices, though. Families are often spread far and wide, it's not rare for two cohabiting partners to be stuck in a situation in which living close to work is a 'one or the other' choice.

Would taxing fuel more fix that? I'm not sure. I think it's just considered a 'cost of doing business' (i.e. being employed).

Similarly, 40 hour+ work weeks are normal. This results in people either trying to maximise their use of downtime (and thus choosing the bus that takes 20 minutes over the walk that takes an hour), or simply being exhausted enough that more 'convenience' purchases feel justified.

I think we would all be far better off simply 'doing less' (for lack of a better term), and I think proposals like a basic income go quite far towards achieving that.
Well from my perspective, you're part of the problem. Good day.

Scalping isn't a crime. They violated the terms of use by reselling on a third party website instead of using the Ticketmaster provided exchange.

The question is, can you force someone to resell a ticket on a specific website? My guess would be that the courts will say no.
Yes, absolutely. Much in the same way that web frameworks do this. :)

The complexity is handed off to the framework authors/community and (web) development is revolutionised for everyone else.

The Google chrome omnibox is a keylogger that transmits all requests to Google. And the "prediction/auto suggest" and "phishing and malware" features allow Google to track all URLs visited by Chrome users. The "usage statistics" feature collects even more data. Normally, for a company that ships internet software, many of these features would be considered harmless, even beneficial. But for advertising companies like Google, who make their money by vacuuming up users data and allowing other companies to bid on their profiles, I think its almost impossible to trust you guys.

Also, FYI, the privacy policy is irrelevant. It only stats what a company might or might not do. The Terms of Service is the real deal - legally speaking - which of course Google can and does modify at their will, anytime they want to collect more data.

"Hey guys, let's eliminate censorship and citizen awareness by carrying out the biggest DDOS attack in the history of the internet against two projects we feel threatened by! People will abandon the projects and forget all about anti-censorship if we do that!"

My guess is these programs end up living somehow (surprise, surprise!) and if anything this will dig heels in for anti-censor proponents and conjure the Stresisand effect for these two programs in particular.

Ironically this mildly marginalized group seems to be very unforgiving of other marginalized groups. When they have to put their most extreme words on alternative websites they blame that preemptively for extremist actions.

When other groups have been marginalized systemically by public infrastructure, violence and a lopsided legal system, they advocate personal responsibility as a solution for systemic problems.

If you need an infinite loop (or very large iteration count), and rely on TCE but it is not available, the semantics of your program will change.

In the "best" case, you'll get a stack overflow exception. In worse cases, your exception/condition system will kick in at a time which is essentially non-deterministic (it's usually deterministic but depends on a lost of things you may have no visibility into).

But if TCE is available, you might even have no allocations after some startup. That's different semantics which are part of the language (e.g. in the case of Scheme) and thus not an "optimization".
Don't you think that one of the most important changes in recent weeks is that he's now a lame duck, he doesn't really have power anymore. This is why he's been losing more an more allies since election day. Powerful figures and institutions can change their stance now and this is a preemption of his exit when the next president takes over.

I'm basically saying, it's a whole lot easier to be "brave" and deal a blow to a lame duck than a live tiger.
If the play is to use a different fab for about 5 years maximum then plough forward with their own, then I think it's a good strategy.

If Intel can get a good design onto 5nm relatively quickly, they can at very least curbstomp AMD's current single-thread lead until their new nodes come online. Intel are something like 20% behind in single-threaded work now, despite being still stuck on lithography somewhere between 4 and 5 times less dense.

Moving away from fabrication is really dangerous, forcing yourself to pull your trousers down and face the music is a good thing in the long run. Ultimately this is a question of whether the leadership have got the bottle.
Your stance is effectively that social media sites are publishers instead of platforms. This is my opinion as well, but it carries with it liability. Unfortunately, they currently are immune to such liability while being able to choose who can say what.

If they want the protections the phone company gets, they need to act more like the phone company.
I would be very careful. There needs to be just the right amount of punishment. The goal is to get on board those who voted for Trump yet do not support the storming of the Capitol.
You wouldn't be penalized, except of course that you shouldn't put "Show HN" in the title if it isn't your own work.
I think a lot of your confusion stems from the media basically smearing Griddy for "charging customer outrageous rates" when the reality was that Griddy allowed customers to buy directly from the producers at the spot rate (which was based upon demand) which was then announced to all system users by the states energy management system. The price spike was due to demand overload and critical infrastructure going offline.

I LOVED Griddy. It was an amazing product that gave users the power to dictate the terms of their energy consumption based upon grid load. When energy usage was high and they needed to fire up natural gas or diesel plants to meet demand my price would change above the 10c/kwh threshold and my energy usage would fall off as my smart home would automatically shut off lights, adjust the a/c or heater, etc. Further, I was able to take advantage of excess wind energy at night by running my dishes, washing my clothes and charging my car on scheduled off peak times.
I had a problem with my license that came to light when Textmate auto-updated. "Your license key has been revoked." Apparently Paypal decided to do a charge-back a few days after I bought it (earlier this year). Anyway, I bought a new key, but Textmate wouldn't let me enter it anywhere. A Macromates employee was on IRC and kindly gave me the solution.
