And you'll get no further than 'A terrorist is a person who engages in terrorism'.

And then the debate is still exactly where we left off.

Was that person engaging in X, or was he engaging in Y?

X = Terrorism, Y = Freedom fighting

The main issue is that your attitude towards the activity/person is encoded in the language you are using to describe it.

I've had similar issues with their support and only managed to have the issues resolved this week, almost two months after receiving the device.

The only answer regarding replacement parts that I've gotten from them was that they're waiting for the manufacturer, they never provided any indication when they themselves were expecting the next shipment from their manufacturers.
Why not? 'terrorists' are by definition people committing terrorism. Any definition of 'terrorismu' whould define a set of terrorists, bud different definitions would lead to different people considered terrorists.

Defining terrorism is not hard - public violence on civilians for ideological (political, religious) reasons. Or more narrow definition that would replace 'civilians' with 'general public' (t exclude attack on state structures).

What you cannot is to hope that any definition of 'terrorism' would include all 'evil' acts and exclude all 'good' acts, because distinction between these is complex.
The difference appears to be that by now, everyone is kind of used to this behavior from Google.

> The idea that jet fuel is somehow safe is just a terrible misjudgment of the situation.

Surely if that's your benchmark then nothing is safe (with enough effort, few things don't burn), and the point is really rather the safety margin, which is significantly larger for fossil fuels than for LOH, therefore making them much safer than LOH? There's a reason why we prefer dynamite to liquid nitroglycerin, even though both do, in fact, explode.
I don’t think this is accurate or a charitable interpretation of what I said.

I am making a distinction between actions and nouns. I hold that it is not controversial to say certain actions are considered terroristic actions and certain actions are considered freedom fighting actions. Often, the same people engage in both, and combined with our tendency to want to assign people in noun classes (He is an X), this results in the perceived equivalence you are speaking about.
Ask HN: I am at a startup for 7 years. What's next for me?
I was the first employee hired as developer for my current startup. I have been working with them for 7 years now.

We have had multiple funding rounds. We grew and downsized multiple times. Had big quarters and some really shitty ones. I have survived all the ups and down. Currently I am leading the engineering team. I do have some shares but there is little chance of a big exit so I am not expecting a huge payout in the end.

Like any first employee I've wore multiple hats. From fixing stupid little bugs at midnight to setting up processes for dev, hiring, code reviews, qa etc.

My biggest concern here is that due to my role I am neither an expert engineer nor a good manager. I am just sitting in between focusing on whatever the company needs at the time. I feel I could be a really good resource for another startup but I don't want to go through this grind again. And for big companies I don't have the expertise to either pursue an engineering role or managerial role.

Did anyone go through a similar experience? What do you suggest my next steps should be?

Yes. Or at least it was in 1981. tl;dr I was accepted into two Ivy League CS Ph.D. graduate programs with them knowing I wouldn't have a bachelor's when I got there and wouldn't get one.

Longer version. At a "public Ivy" university, I had finished all the requirements for a CS B.S. in three years...except I needed one full semester's course load in, well, anything. Number of hours was all that was between me and a Bachelor's. I checked with a fair number of schools that had "Must have Bachelor's degree or reasonable equivalent" in their catalog, explained my situation, and said I had three professors who knew my situation and would write recommendations for me. Most said "No, but you sound interesting. Try us next year if you don't pull this off". Two Ivies and a Canadian university said I could apply. The Ivies both accepted me and I withdrew my application from the Canadian one before they decided.

Didn't manage to pull off the Ph.D. though; my inexperience at 19 had me not realize it's important to find out about personalities and reputations among faculty for grad school, and it turned out my advisor/dept. chair liked to flush a majority of his students (I was the fifth of my entrance year). It turned out to be relatively simpler to get my graduate hours transferred down to my undergrad school and pick up the Bachelor's that way and then get admitted elsewhere.

Things have changed significantly for graduate CS admissions at good schools in the last 40 years though. Generally you're now expected to have already done some research, and you should have a really positive recommendation from whatever faculty you did that research with/under. I suspect your best approach would be to first get a "professional Master's", but since those usually don't involve research, also get on a research project while there and impress the professor(s) running it.
It's always nice to not find yourself in one of those databases.

Data frugality ftw.
Not just shitty ideas, but half-baked, unexplained, shitty ideas. What I wouldn't give for complete requirements.
And freedom fighters are by definition people committing freedom fighting.

>What you cannot is to hope that any definition of 'terrorism' would include all 'evil' acts and exclude all 'good' acts, because distinction between these is complex.

Precisely the problem.

Ceteris paribus, it's 'terrorism' when you think it's 'evil', and it's freedom fighting' when you think it's 'good'.

Two different descriptions of exactly the same facts.

Show HN: VSpace – from bookmark manager to platform for teamwork
Hey there!
With VSpace you can stop saving and searching useful links in your chats, notes, and docs and instead create spaces with everything you need for productive work. Moreover — you can share those spaces with your teammates, clients, or friends and use them together!

Two months ago we launched our MVP. We got tons of feedback, fixed even more bugs, and tested some features.
And now we are ready to show the second version of our product.
There's also the original pre-web Gopher protocol, which has been getting a lot more users since being mentioned on HN a few weeks ago together with Gemini. Gopher seems to appeal to people who like retro-computing - the TLS requirement of Gemini rules out even older Macs, nevermind the Apple IIs and Commodore 64s that can still access Gopher.

For anyone curious, Phetch is a really good terminal-based browser for Gopher written in Rust [1], and Jaruzel's Gopher Browser For Windows is a very easy to use GUI browser that also supports image files. Both are under 1MB. (If you're running Haiku OS, Gopher is still built-in to the default WebPositive browser.)

Yes, “terrorism” has a political objective.

Randomly killing people for non-political reasons, such as done by some mass shooters or serial killers, is not terrorism, even if in some cases it kills more people than many acts of terrorism do.

The highest position they ever reached was third place in 1930. And that world cup had only 13 participating teams.

The grid itself doesn't proactively try to equalize frontend and backend data, but I utilize backend orm signals to generate websocket events which are then captured by a javascript callback in the frontend and sent to the grid. The grid then updates immediately reflecting the changes. There is no need to send the entire dataset, though, just the changes.

If you are engaging in freedom fighting then you are a freedom fighter.

You say you are engaging in freedom fighting.

> Authoritarianism doesn’t happen all at once.

I don't think protecting the Courthouse is authoritarianism AT ALL. It's protecting a Federal building.

> The protests are largely peaceful

The anarchists are not protesters. They aren't at all the same people. The vast numbers of peaceful protesters don't change the need for police to contain the ~200 anarchists trying to destroy the Federal Courthouse.

> Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

This is an insane comparison. A major west coast Federal Courthouse, home to the US 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals as well as a number of Federal offices, is absolutely NOTHING like occupying a small park Welcome center: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/MalheurN... . Was that even a serious comment?

> I don’t condone the graffiti or anyone trying to damage the building but the Federal response is over the top and unjustified.

The Federal response doesn't go far enough. The people attacking the building need to be arrested and sentenced to prison for attempted arson of a Federal Courthouse - ideally by the judges who's courthouse they are trying to burn down.

> Trump would like nothing more than a huge escalation in events.

I agree. So they should stop trying to burn down the Federal Courthouse.

> That there’s any similarity between the events in Tiananmen and in Portland by the authorities is not okay.

There isn't of any significance. You can always claim "similarities" when your bar for such is so low. Hitler and Trump both breathed oxygen - did you know that? Obviously he's a Nazi leader reincarnate.

Souce? I don't think the RDI is a maximum, you can have quite a bit more B12 and still get benefits. When I have time I'll update this with my own search, but maybe you're more educated on this topic than I am.

Typically negatives with overuse only exist with the supplements in my 1 minute glance. This is common amongst many different supplements actually. If you eat actual food you get full, so it prevents too much nutrition from being an issue. I don't think B12 is really something your body will reject, we are able to efficiently filter out any extra with minimal load on the kidneys & liver.
The actress Jamie Lee Curtis complained about MW's addition of "irregardless" because she misunderstands the purpose of that dictionary: to document and describe actual language usage. Therefore, if "irregardless" is in wide common usage, it gets added as an entry.

Dictionaries that are more descriptive than prescriptive: The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster Dictionary. (e.g. "whatevs", "chillax", other slang, etc added to OED: https://www.google.com/search?q=newest+words+in+Oxford+Engli...)

A dictionary that is more prescriptive (more conservative and avoids adding new non-standard words): The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_Heritage_Dictiona...)

tldr: most people don't know the underlying rationale of dictionaries

I got an answer and a non-answer for you.

The answer is in line with most of this thread: possible, yes, probable, no. All cases I know are from people who made enormous contributions to their respective fields before they could enrol in a PhD program.

Most important is my non answer: Why do you want to do a PhD? Just because you want to learn more theoretical compsci? Do you fully understand what a PhD program entails?

I'm not trying to discourage you here, I want you to understand what you would get yourself into before you spend a lot of time, effort and energy, and possibly months/years of your life into something that won't fulfil your life interests.

Accountancy was my second career. I currently do a mixed accountancy/technology management role at an SME.

I learnt to code from books and the internet. I'm not bad at using high level languages to get things done. I couldn't pass a Google whiteboard test, I couldn't write a compiler, an os, a db or anything. I know about coding, but I am not a software engineer.

Becoming an accountant actually does not have a prequsite much beyond basic maths, ratios, percentages etc. Then it requires 2-3 years of intensive on the job work and study to get to the basic level. In the UK that would also mean passing 10 intensive exams in that time. To get to CFO would probably mean another 7 years experience.

But it sounds like you want to know about finance. I would learn to read financial statements. Get some financial statements for some smaller companies from whatever your local corporate register is (uk companies house has them free online). Start with the balance sheet (sometimes called statement of financial position) and profit & loss (sometimes called an income statement). Go through it line by line and read the acounting policy and Google the terms. You can also look them up in your local accounting standards.

Next take a look at a cash flow statement. Notice how different looking at cash is to looking at profit. Work it why and why it is much more important to have cash than profit.

Learn some accounting ratios like Return on Capital Employed, see if you can calculate them from those statements.

A bit of knowledge about Mudigliani & Miller, and NPV (not the maths, Excel can do that. The assumptions) would be good. Learn the Sunk Cost hypothesis, and relevent costs.

I think this will get you where you need to be without long coursed of material that you may not use. You don't need to be able to prepare financial statements.
The purpose of being a Christian is to love God and to love your neighbour as yourself. In if you wonder how far the love of your neighbour stretches, the goalpost has ben set at the very end: Love your enemies.[See: Mark 12:30-31 and Matthew 5:44] And this follows and is natural because God is LOVE [1 John 4:7-21].

Eastern Europe is in a wierd time where it has the infrastructure, market access, and human resources of a rich country, but much lower cost of living and pay.
