It's important to distinguish the Israeli far right and settler behavior in the west bank with what the majority of Israeli moderates believe.

Frankly I've been arguing this for a long time and it's getting more and more difficult as the political center withers.

There are limits even for those of us with family over there who are deeply committed. It's important for Israelis to wake up.
This is similar to the point Vaclav Smil makes when he looks at our dismal prospects for decarbonization, if humanity is going to survive, then we are simply going to have to consume less. I think this concept of reduced consumption is in conflict with a system of high inequality today that is often justified by the prospect of (slowing) growth.

> NSA used to push pretty hard for moving to elliptic curve from RSA. There was some speculation they already knew better factoring methods that worked for breaking RSA.

Just to add a bit more detail...

NSA was pushing EC pretty hard for a bit. Then, after a while, they switched gears and said (and I'm paraphrasing here, obviously), "Actually, don't worry about it. If you've already switched to EC, that's fine, just stick with it. If you're still on RSA, though, just stick with that. There's no need to switch, both are fine (for the time being)."

So who knows WTF they were thinking. Unfortunately, it's impossible to get any real "signal" from their statements since they can no longer be trusted. They could be legitimately looking out for our best interests or they could be trying to get everyone to use less secure algorithms -- and we have no way to know which it is!

(Personally, I've just carried on normally and pretended like they never said anything at all).
The bulk of Jewish and Palestinian people in Israel during the founding were similarly recent turn-of-the-century migrants from elsewhere in the Middle East to relatively low-population areas previously lived in by Bedouins and Druze.

The standards you're raising are arbitrary and can apply to all of the other countries that were drawn up after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire. Many forcibly expelled their Jewish population, while Israel at least offered all residents first-class citizenship. It's tragic that Pan-Arab Nationalist neighbors convinced so many to reject and rebel, and then offered no aid after.
that is what capitalisim is.
What I said shouldn't even be controversial. It's sad how many people here are supporting Israel's war crimes and colonization of Palestine. It's a country that was created in 1948 on top of existing people. They continue to commit human rights violations and expansion of territory. The time has come to recognize our own role in this (as a US citizen, my tax dollars are partially responsible) and do something about it.

I am pointing out a blatant double-standard. The fact that HRC is not condemning egregious mass violators like China, Russia, and Syria, and focuses all its attention on Israel, shows they are not honestly trying to enforce any standard in good faith, they're just trying to attack Israel. That, together with the well-documented participation of Neo Nazi and other openly Antisemitic groups in movements that criticize Israel, shows that criticizing Israel is often linked to biased prejudice against Israel and Jews.

The Tesla giga factory is making 20 gWh per year. 10 factories for 5 years and we have 1tWh. And we would need to massively scale up battery production anyway for electric cars in a nuclear scenario. And remember that those batteries are one of the easiest technologies to deploy. You don't need much more than a grid connection, a substation and a concerete pad.

There's more information here as well. Cloudflare was apparently operating network connected facial recognition cameras in their offices.

Problem with take home test is that it’s asymmetric time commitment - candidate spends time but company does not have to. You can send take home test to 100 people competing for 1 open position because take home takes candidate 4 hours to do but only 10 minutes to check by company engineer (or even recruiter or automated tool).

Easy to waste candidate time.

With in person interview time commitment is the same for both company and engineer so no sane company will waste candidates time (at least on purpose). Feels much more fair.
This would be good, but is also not as simple as it sounds to do well. Most of the published vaccine data doesn't state whether the person vaccinated was previously infected with COVID. Additionally, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated even if you were previously infected.
> Third alternative. Multi-family homes owned by co-ops of all the residents.

In theory, a manufactured home community could also be a co-op, and setting one up would be less capital-intensive than building multi-family homes.

It is worth noting that so far as land-use is concerned, MHCs are significantly denser than typical single-family home neighborhoods (even older, denser ones) due to the small lot and home size, absence of two-vehicle garages, etc. They are comparable to the lower end of multi-family housing density due to the parking lots those are typically surrounded with, though of course multi-family housing that has good access to public transit can be much denser.
I prefer non-IP cameras so they can't be plugged into the internet. Yes, it's annoying to get a feed other than locally... but that is the whole point.

If you need nurses to remotely monitor patients that's fine, there's a monitor in the nurse station. If those "nurses" are on the other side of the world... then anyone, anywhere, can see those feeds and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Hope it's better then the same "tech" that locks people out of their accounts.
After learning some more about the practicalities of time/date throughout my career, it always seemed a bit odd to me to even support the +/- thing... but maybe I'm missing something. My reasoning is: If it's a timestamp (i.e. it's a point on the physical time line, relativity notwithstanding), Z should be fine and unambiguous. If it's a local date/time then you need the actual legal time zone (e.g. Europe/Berlin, or whatever.) since those can and have changed historically. Sure, you can encode that as an offset for any given instant if you're actually talking about "now" or the past, but that's a lossy encoding and you can't really talk about future events using an offset.

the hard part when enabling self-tinkering is the forensics and the burden of proof for accidents, especially lethal accidents.

how do you ensure beyond doubt that the vehicle was not "tampered with" by an "unauthorized unqualified third party"?

would I want to own a car where the oem can turn around burden of proof and can easily claim I have modified the vehicle software, and thus broke vehicle behaviour?

oem: you've patched coreutils, that's what killed your wife, your fault!

me: no. that's technically impossible. the drm disables third party modifications.

now if you provide means to do it anyhow, you'd need to make forensics crystal clear.

so you as a customer want the physical modification to be dead obvious even on a burnt vehicle. especially on a burnt vehicle. so you as a customer can show that you did in fact not unlock software modification.

and state regulations for that reason require drm from car makers, to make it impossible to evade responsibility with flakey claims of third party modifications.

Honest question (not a gamer) - did any of those platforms allow 3rd parties to develop games on their platforms?
No, local concerns are not dominating, and I don't think you can read this as some measure of relative prioritization like that. It's too complex to reduce to such a simple imagined dynamic. Understanding that sustainable ecology requires both removing some of these dams and addressing climate change is urgent is in fact possible simultaneously.
Nowadays, the scarce resources are humility and intellectual courage, not qualifications. This is especially true when looking at public policy that is guided by scientific results, because the science often needs to take a back seat to more human concerns. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the science is all that matters, but for every scientific paper published on a subject there are an infinite number of unpublished papers and unexamined data sets.

you mean the National Guard in 1970. I expect that almost everyone from that time has retired by now. Hence making your link something of largely historical interest. Especially considering the nature of the Vietnam war and opposition to it.
> owns the rights to the name "flipper"

What rights do you imagine grant ownership of the word "flipper" exactly? I believe there's only four IP rights granted in US; Trade/Service mark, Patent, Copyright and Trade Secret? Which of those could possibly prevent a electronic device have same name as a TV Show?
Yeah, except this isn't just the word "Flipper". Its the word Flipper with a dolphin avatar.

To a IP judge this is a product thats marketed as a "Tamagochi-like device with a dolphin called Flipper". Its not even a hard stretch to say that this would confuse an unsavvy consumer who might think this devices was a "Flipper the Dolphin Tamagochi".
I have a strong feeling US police would be much less likely to carry an order like this out. Mostly from the perspective of self-preservation.

> The order of magnitude of Fukushima cleanup costs is $1 trillion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_disaster_cleanup#Cos...

Even the oft-cited $200 billion is an exaggeration. Bear in mind these figures from from politicians, nowhere near this amount has actually been spent. As far a figures for the money actually spent, let's go with your own source:

> In 2016, University of Oxford researcher and author Peter Wynn Kirby wrote that the government had allocated the equivalent of US$15 billion for the regional cleanup

Let's see if we can get more recent sources on spending related to Fukushima. Form a 2020 article [1]

> Since fiscal 2014, it has set aside about 35 billion yen annually for the interim storage facilities. The funds come from revenues earmarked for nuclear energy-related projects in the special account.

> But expenditures concerning the storage facilities are running a lot higher than initially envisaged.

> An estimate released in late 2016 by the Ministry of Trade, Economy and Industry showed that the project will eventually cost 1.6 trillion yen, compared with an initial projection of 1.1 trillion yen.

> The government has allocated an additional 12 billion yen annually for the storage facility project since fiscal 2017.

Okay, so the Japanese government is saying that it'll cost 1.6 trillion yen (about $15 billion dollars) total. They're actually spending 35 + 12 = 47 billion yen annually, which is ~$433 million. $15 billion over 30 years is a big bill. But amortized over the hundreds of nuclear power plants in existence, it adds little to the overall cost of nuclear power.

If everybody is doing it, it is known, and Google doesn't address it, what do you do as a business? Sue Google, who certainly has a "no warranty" clause in their ToS about reviews? No, of course you buy fake reviews too. I have trouble blaming them here. Losing customers for the sake of your sense of righteousness helps no one.
Absolutely agree that we need to move off fossil fuels so that to me is a given. And you're right that the problem is vast and will require a vast effort. But that is also the central problem. Renewable prices are coming down due to economies of scale and possibly due to externalities not being fully captured in the price (my main concern) but overall installation at this point is relatively small so it's easy to overlook it because the current prices are so attractive. So the question becomes do these economies of scale hold as we scale up to the necessary levels to replace fossil fuels and nuclear or is there some inflection point where the cost to the environment becomes too great to ignore before we even get there and we find ourselves needing to scramble to build nuclear?

I agree with the first half of your first sentence. But 'poisonous anti-human agenda' — I mean I'm no corporatist but that already starts to sound a bit like internet projection to me. We don't really know as much as it feels like we know about these situations when very-partial stories make it online. We're all filling in a lot of details from imagination, based on our own past experiences, without realizing we're doing that (which is what I mean by projection). In my experience, more thoughtful online conversation starts with slowing that mental process down and unpacking it a bit. I've described this in terms of 'reflexive' vs. 'reflective' in the past - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor.... Anyhow, you needn't agree—these are just some thoughts that came up when I realized I had a bifurcated response to your first sentence.

As for the second sentence: appreciated!

I did GSoC over a decade ago (Wow!) and if the stipend was halfed I wouldn't have bothered -- any bottom of the barrel internship would've been more lucrative.

Not that the money was the primary driver for GSoC, but being able to dedicate a significant chunk of my summer to a project while being being able to pay the bills was a prerequisite for applying.

I have no idea how I'd juggle a GSoC project with another job, for that matter.

I use Cloud Run for all my server rendered web apps and I _love_ it. That’s where the pricing model makes sense since as soon as the request is served I stop paying. The actual cash price is less than what I was paying to run on GKE and the total cost of ownership is far lower.

Web sockets are a handy thing to have access to but the app described is a pretty pathological case for the Cloud Run pricing model. I think people knocking the article on pricing alone are missing the point.

I think Ahmet's arithmetic is incorrect. The limits that he says lead to the 250k figure are:

1. 250 connections per container, and

2. 1,000 containers.

However the 250 concurrency limit does not refer to connections, it refers to requests. 250 concurrent requests can actually represent thousands of clients, depending on their think time.

Before making comments, study the situation. Syria was building both nuclear weapons facilities and gas facilities in their country in addition to conventional weapons. If Canada or Mexico were doing the same to the US as Syria does to Israel, the US would bomb them as well.

Regarding illegal occupation, you must mean that France is occupying Alsace-Lorraine which belongs to Germany and Poland s occupying Upper Silesia which belongs to Germany. France is occupying German territory after WWI, and Poland after WWII. Also Russia is occupying Japan's Sakhalin Island.

But the US government recognizes the Golan as part of Israel, apparently you don't keep up with current events. Hence the Golan is not illegally occupied by Israel. But Alsace-Lorrain, Upper Silesia, and Sakhalin Island are German and Japanese territory occupied by other countries.

Presumably the math there is expected value, but does that even matter?

Imagine two lotteries that each sell ten million $1 tickets, and will only sell one ticket per person.

One has a jackpot of $7 million. The other has a jackpot of $15 million.

Math would tell you there's a significant difference between the two, wouldn't it?

But I would say the right answer is that the difference in payout doesn't matter. And you probably shouldn't buy either ticket.

Am I reading it wrong, is 'math' supposed to mean something else here?
Is there a less distorted news feed that shows lots of U.S. cops standing up against police brutality now?
