a) Those weapons are not autonomous, they are remote controlled. Just fancy more accurate guided missiles. They are alternative for blind bombing. Like any weapon, it depends what you do with them and what your enemy is doing.

b) This type of weapons exists in many military industries and is bought by many countries (any country that can afford them). Making this specifically "ethical" in connection to Israel is appallingly biased.
> The strategy is to maintain control of the global financial system, and therefore control of the entire world.

I disagree because it sounds more limited to only control over US citizens. US citizens are the biggest losers in this arrangement.

I've noticed that among retro computer enthusiasts that the 800XL is the most loved of Atari's eight bit offerings. Can anyone explain?

To me, the original 800 was the best, but I don't know enough about Atari's eight bit offerings to understand the major differences.

Reading through the abstract it immediately doesn’t appear that they are using the correct statistical test to come to the conclusion they are claiming. Like another comment says, it takes minutes to criticize what takes months to make, so I’ll read through the article and work through how they came to their methodology before saying more.
I'm always torn on this kind of stuff. On one hand, if you're technically proficient you're basically getting a steal.

Say a device you want to buy would cost $200, but because of stuff like pre-installing software, telemetry, etc. it is sold for $150. You just throw a custom OS on there / jailbreak it / run a few commands that kill the cruft, and you now have a clean device for a 25% discount.

On the other hand, the vast majority of people are not that technically proficient, and are either unaware or unable to defend themselves from aforementioned stuff. My parents recently bought a new Smart TV and if it wasn't for me they had no idea how much those log and send back to the mothership.

Then, if enough people actually are aware and combating this, it no longer is justifiable for the corporations and I lose my improptu discount. To me, a price I'm willing to pay to give others more privacy, but other people may not be so privileged.
Surely maps are a larger infinity than territories? I can easily draw maps of territories that do not, have not, and even cannot exist.

Likewise symbols and brushmarks. I can describe brushmarks that could never be physically realized.
>The way it’s supposed to work is if you’re salaried/exempt, you’re getting paid to do a job, not for a specific number of hours. So if you work 45 hours one week and 36 hours the next, that’s supposed to be okay.

I am satisfied with my salary because I finish my responsibilities in 2 to 4 hours, then spend the rest of the "work day" maintaining a green dot on Slack and promptly responding to merge requests, looking as busy as possible. My coworkers who feel the need to work a certain number of hours (40), invariably work overtime every week because their work expands to fit their perceived availability. They all get paid twice as much as me, but if I'm working half the hours is that equal compensation? I say no, because I still have my hair and my doctor says my blood pressure has improved.

Hah. Good point. But I meant like self driving: we suuuuuuuck. Let's not fool ourselves acting like it's critical that there's a human touch to things.
They are always using weapons for offense, never defense.

Just give back the land already.
It's not more morally reprehensible than landmines. Borders all over the world use landmines, one of the most common weapons for area denial. Remote controlled or autonomous machine guns have the advantage that you can retire them more easily. With landmines, if you misplaced the map, you have a problem. Even if you still have the map you have a problem: what if the map is only 99% accurate?
Just think for a minute, entire industry abandoned xrdb and drawing primitives in X11 applications, even XOrg developers decided to ditch these features, they've started Wayland because they could not fix X11.

Yes, your quotes from that article are spot on. The article itself though seems to otherwise be tilting at windmills: I would encourage everyone to review my longer reference.
Well, the spec only recommends that the date be no further than a year into the future.

You could argue that the Iron Dome has allowed the Israelis to perpetuate the conflict. If Israel citizens were faced with actually dying, they might push for a peaceful resolution faster.
How would repealing 230 address your perceived double standard? Platforms have the right to make editorial decisions about what appears on their platform. Without 230, they’d probably double down on it. Repealing 230 would not somehow provide an Avenue to force them to provide “fair and balanced” coverage.

Maybe you just want 230 repealed so the networks can be burned to the ground through a mass of frivolous lawsuits. If so ... no?
From my understanding -- POKEY chips are easy to get because they were in so many things other than the home computers (arcade games, some cartridges, etc.). SALLY is easy to build a replacement board for using off the shelf logic and a stock 6502, so less of a complicated situation than the 6510 in the C64. So that leaves the two graphics chips (ANTIC and GTIA).
“ Demand for autonomous ‘suicide drones’ is at an all-time high after the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict of 2020, which established a benchmark for the effective use of kamikaze drones against conventional military forces.”

I have read many statements similar to this in recent months, but I haven’t come across a good analysis of how offensive drones were used/defended against (if they were) in that conflict. Anyone have a good resource?
I'm an LP in TS. I'm not an expert (and certainly can't speak for them), but my sense is that it's about the LP base. I think that Tiny Seed raised all of its capital from individual entrepreneurs (or people otherwise active in the independent software world). Unlike big institutional LPs (or professional fund managers hired by family foundations), we don't care about markups and stuff like that on judging interim IRR. We get the model and are much more willing to wait for long-term results.

If you were to implement a camera picker, take a gander at: https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/devices/input-o...

iOS and Android don't have the same camera picker like Chrome on Windows 10, even then it is difficult to always override. I would recommend using enumerateDevices to allow you to pass the deviceId when firing getUserMedia. Not a lot of work. Implemented this a few times for cross-browser WebRTC experiences. A pro-tip is use getUserMedia with audio and video constraints set to true. This forces the permissions pop up to appear. You can kill the feed once the user has accepted the permissions, then ask them what device they want to use, and then fire getUserMedia with the correct deviceId. This is a [nice?] hack as some browsers don't allow you to use enumeratedDevices until after getUserMedia has asked you for the permissions. e.g. Safari...

Eh...Facebook's use the word "friend" as a verb has not eroded my deep and meaningful sense of the word as a noun. It's just another use which has been added to our cultural context. It's up to you to let it change your perspective on friendship.
Exactly. Roboguns enforcing the border are little different than a minefield except they're much easier to maintain and dismantle, as well as being more reliable and immune to sweeping. It's a no-go zone in either case.

Like with a minefield, morally fine when marked, very immoral if not marked.
Language vs. meta-language. I completely subscribe to parent's point of view: because concepts expressed in natural language are so massively overloaded, it's very hard to make precise statements.

When disciplines acquire their own method and formal language, they tend to splinter off philosophy. Think about mathematics, physics, biology, economics...
Spot on. Firewall are becoming less and less useful in the time of cloud.

You're right it's not an ethical dilemma at all, but your reasons are completely off. All killing of humans by other humans is unethical, regardless of technology. Saying there is a dilemma implies that somehow a human would make killing another human ok. I find the whole tone of this article to be ridiculous...I would love to find an actual discussion in which an ethicist rationalizes war, and if you can't find that then the implication that machines somehow make the situation less ethical is ridiculous.
Just curious... Suicide drones... how is that different from missiles?
Your high school daughter could be the person that helps SpaceX figure out their "space junk" problem!
Here is one thing I have a hard time wrapping my head around, and how I think it is fundamentally different from something like a painting:

The thing that is "non-fungible" is the token, not the actual art. The underlying digital asset is actually fungible with copies of it. With a painting, there are prints and reproductions of the Mona Lisa, but they are all fundamentally different in some way - the exact brush stroke texture, etc.

NFTs have this feeling of valuing the receipt, not the art. As if I walked into a gift shop at The Louvre and bought a Mona Lisa slick poster print, but then valued the gift store receipt more than the more-or-less completely replaceable poster.
Interesting, since it's pretty difficult task to begin with. What do you do now?

I don't see any new information in here.

Corporations try to maximize profits, individuals try to maximize money and free time. Corporations have more power than an individual when trying to bargain. However, corporations don't really care about hours, they care about your performance reviews (though your performance reviews can be easily colored by how much time your reviewers believe you work). I think it would be interesting to see how many people here spend under 40 hr/wk on their full time job.
Amazing times, when a private company can launch 3 flights in two weeks, not even counting the Starship tests :). It is faszinating to see, how quickly Starlink is progressing, we are on the brink of global satellite broadband internet. This could be a substantial change especially in all the countries without a wide broadband availability. It will be interesting to see whether SpaceX can generate enough revenue to be able to finance large space projects on their own. Of course there is Mars, but also the Moon, perhaps a space station or asteroid mining.

If by public health you are referring to the government's provision of health-care, then yes, you are right. It's absolutely abysmal and very unfortunate for those unable to afford a private medical aid here.

So in the grand-scheme of things, public-health in SA is a failure, with the majority of the public being very poor and unable to afford medical aid. However, the model of the private sector on it's own is something that we've seen works and can probably be scaled up if government stayed out of meddling and "tweaking" it to their social value system. So if all they did was give people money to spend on their preferred medical aid (similar to the proposed "school credits" in the USA), then I think it'd work and the poor would have great access to healthcare despite not being able to afford it on their own.

Unfortunately, the 11% of tax-expenditure being spent on healthcare is not enough to cover such a thing, and they'd have to scale that up. Other things to keep in mind is that they have a ridiculously tiny tax-base here due to the inequality (I.e. something like only 10% of people pay income tax). The other thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the money that tax-payers here pay for, they don't actually use at all. E.g. Police, ambulance, fire services. They might as well be non-existant and defunded because the private sector has picked up the slack. As an example, just the other day I found out their largest city has less than 10 working fire trucks.
Wow that's a whole new level of evil.
When you say vulnerabilities what do you mean? RCE? Privesc? Software can bypass the firewall?

Also, based on your recent HN comments you seem to have claimed to find vulns in several projects, but to date have provided no proof of such claims, so I'll have to admit I'm a little skeptical.
Sorry, your comment made me laugh a bit. You know, before the smartest guys were incentivized to figure out how to make you and me click ads, they were incentivized to figure out how to circumvent financial regulation. Turned out that it is really, really f*cking hard to write a regulation that can't be somehow gamed. And even if it was not, you need to remember that vast majority of people do not know how to handle percentages, it is quite naive to expect that those people could make any rational judgements based on any financial disclosures whatsoever. Just look around, Madoff managed to con quite a few sophisticated investors, and to anyone with any common sense Tether has been behaving exactly as if they would be doing their best to scam the whole crypto scene - and nobody cares or requires disclosures.
The 40 hour part can be. It’s conveniently ignored by management and many workers have convinced themselves that it’s noble to do more than you’re paid for. Combine that with peer pressure and you get what we have.
Personally, I’ve found that in the vast majority of cases, any more than 35-40 hours per week consistently yields diminishing returns, even with busy work.
I’ve been fortunate in my life with great management, where I’m on average 40 hours a week, and if I do pull a few 50-60 hours per week, there’s an unspoken agreement that I’ll do a couple 30 hour weeks. But you shouldn’t have to luck out with good management.
New Zealand did have serious local spread last March, our R value was over 2. We’ve never been able to completely prevent Covid-19 outbreaks.
I think you are talking about the first wave of BTC lending sites, which had faulty business model. These days they only give out loans with collateral. No one is giving those loans any more that don't have collateral.
I think it's mostly psychological...since missiles move so quickly you might not be able to see them people think of them as more like bullets, regardless of the complex technology involved. People see these slow moving AI powered drones and they think it's a suicidal robot.

Where do you work where employees who work twice as much, make twice as much?

The issue I have with salary structure is that you have no opportunity for going above and beyond. If I work a minimum hours to get my job done, I get payed the same amount than if I went overtime and finished my tasks sooner.

It seems like software industry needs a bonus system for people who are eager to lean into their work, but struggle to see the reason to when it’s just another company that will do nothing about it.

To be clear - salary is much better than an hourly + overtime system. The former provides a ton of flexibility. It’s just that it provides little to no incentive for going above and beyond.

What are “the laws that apply”? Do you not feel like Fox News and OAN made billions of dollars in campaign contributions to Republican candidates? What repercussion did they face? Heck, remind me how we punished the government employees who violated the Hatch act and campaigned for the president while on the government payroll.
Sure. Fraud and crime have been part of art sales for centuries. I'm not saying that crypto is unique here. Only that it is a force that cannot be discounted when analyzing an ecosystem.

And ultimately, nobody is ever comfortable answering the question of why it’s okay to move it to China? Somehow it’s okay for people in China to have super low wages?

This is an issue I’ve always had with overseas production. It feels like this weird out-of-sight, out-of-mind ethical problem that usually comes from people opposed to bringing more manufacturing to the US (aka - “it’s not the jobs we want”).

And it doesn’t make sense.
Yup. There's little overlap between legally owned guns and guns used in crime. Gun laws obviously have little effect on guns that aren't legally owned in the first place.
Just the same as a Master's degree.

edit: to the downvoters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%27s_degree

A master's degree[note 1] (from Latin magister) is an academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.

The holders of a Master's degree are expected to be the "source of truth", as much as git's master branch is the "source of truth".

>I think that another deception is that we should ordinarily be experiencing price deflation. Every day our society is getting more efficient at making things. If prices for goods are staying the same then it may not be that their value has not changed, they may be less valuable goods, but they cost the same because you're also buying them with less valuable currency.

Deflation is what happens when there is an oversupply of products. Primarily caused by increased productivity through technological progress. You have to print more money just to maintain stable prices. If you didn't do this then companies would cut down on production capacity and simply produce less goods. This would cause a downward spiral of production and since we all know that fiat currencies are backed by the existence of an economy that lets you exchange the fiat currency for goods and services the fact that the economy is shrinking is a bad thing for holders of the currency and it's bad for workers who are receiving incomes in the future. Since we cut down on production we also need less workers and thus your future income will be lower. Your best bet would be to obtain wealth as soon as possible and simply sit on it.

>Ultimately, printing money doesn't make anyone more productive or produce anything. All it does is redistribute wealth from those that were first to get the new free money away from those that were last to contact it.

It could be worse. Since you print money every year that means future people will receive the money first. If you cease to print money then the ones who received it first are people in the past which could be centuries ago.

Would you be willing to work for someone who inherited their wealth 200 years ago and did nothing with it except sit on it? By "sit" I mean scrooge mcduck vaults. No investments.
