Vanishingly few people buy phones based on screen resolution, RAM, bandwidth, etc. Ditto computers used mostly for mundane email, web browsing, games (not hardcore), and such. Few buy cars based on horsepower, range, etc.

Insofar as people do consider specs, it’s usually because the specs are injected into the conversation, customers being taught to care by salesman trying to baffle them into choosing their product.

Most customers want it to just work. Apple is pursuing that.
Not sure how the GPS NUDET system works but I suspect the downlink is something other than the navigation signal. Spoofing the navigation signal would not affect the GPS telemetry signal to dedicated NUDET ground stations.

BTW, the device you linked is used exactly for that purpose, to shut down electronics to prevent damage from EMP and other effects.

To your point, there are other means to detect nuclear explosions, used mostly to verify compliance with treaties, such this seismic one:

Cruelty is a human trait that is not bound by nationality, race, nor religion. I get the desire to slice up the pie of humanity and point to the piece called America; it gives us hope that maybe the problem can be solved. No human cruelty will never go away. It may wax and wane, but it will always be in our nature.
I'm ready to be disappointed.
> In fact, it's a perfect example of a beautiful neoclassical landmark that was intended to inspire and last through the ages.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you've never been to the White House: it's a mildewed, creaky mess that was gutted twice (once by war[1], again to prevent it from collapsing under its own misdesign[2]). It undergoes constant, active maintenance, and is not intended by any means to "last through the ages."

But to get to the actual point: the neoclassical style is built on a historical lens. It takes classical architecture on face value, as it was in the 18th century (i.e., weather-washed and in ruins). Its appliers wanted to promote their interpretation of classical greatness, which corresponds in no particular way to the actual greatness of cultures in the classical period. The Romans would have laughed at our neoclassical use of blindingly white marble[3].

My own city has suffered from lawlessness, with government rendering law enforcement useless and advocating policies that threaten the safety and welfare of its citizens. Meanwhile, homelessness has skyrocketed and our public parks and other public spaces are dangerous because of aggressive homeless people littering trash, feces, and their drug needles.

I trust Apple almost infinitely more than I trust my local government. They can collude about employees all they want, but I would rather have my government run the way Tim Cook runs Apple. I like what Apple delivers. My local government delivers no value, in my opinion, and they’re making the situation worse. In fact, my local government blames big companies and their only solution is to tax us to death. The tax revenue is plundered on a non profit industry whose supposed goals are to help these homeless people, but the majority of their funding goes to paying their own salaries, their executives, and all the overhead.

I’m honestly worried about sending my children to school. We’ve now had homeless camps on school grounds. You can shoot heroine on school grounds now. In my mind, government isn’t the answer — it’s actually the source of the rot.

> Newark still spends about a third of it's city budget on police, at the expense of essential services like infrastructure and education.

How does that compare with other metros? My impression is that police and schools are some of the most expensive services cities provide, and both consume a significant chunk of most cities' budgets.

A verse you might want to consider is "... we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe." My interpretation is that forgiveness is available to all but made effective only in those who respond in faith. The scriptures do not say anything about those who are ignorant about God's salvation.

> Are feminists forcing women into focusing on their careers or just giving them the option?

So the answer to this question is very complicated.

A husband complained that his wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mom:

As you can guess, there were many reactions to this article. A woman argued that a working mom is a better option:

Of course, there is other side of the coin. Some argued women should be given an option to be a staying-at-home mom:

> To play the other half of this argument: America engaged in slavery, but also fought its bloodiest war to end it

It was only “its bloodiest war” because a sizable fraction of the country was fighting to protect slavery. Much of the rest of the world that had chattel slavery ended it without similarly bloody wars—and generally sooner. The fierce defense of chattel slavery in the US that produced its bloodiest war isn’t a positive.

Productized consulting is where you take what your consulting does and turn it into a repeatable product. Some links:

https://doubleyourfreelancing.com/3-great-examples-of-produc...

https://www.karllhughes.com/posts/scaling-services (writing)

The goal would be to find something that you offer that you can make repeatable. You didn't talk much about the services you offer (other than the fact they are 'dev services'), but some examples for a dev shop might be:

* architecture review
* seo analysis (if you do webdev)
* accessibility survey (if you have the skills/desire)
* disaster recovery audit

All of these are tasks you can put a single price on, that you can turn into a process, and that have value to the customer disassociated from the hours used to deliver it. That means the first one might take longer, but you can start to optimize the process and therefore make more profit.

As far as hosting, if you build applications, you can offer hosting of those applications. Even if you are building on a cloud or PaaS (like firebase or heroku) you can still offer to manage applications over time. This would include doing things like setting up alerting, handling dependency upgrades, and managing the cloud or PaaS provider.

The value to clients when you do this is that they don't have to set up and manage their own hosting. Since you built the application, you probably know how to run it pretty well too. This can be recurring revenue that you don't have to work for, since you can charge a monthly fee.

There are some downsides of offering hosting/managed services. Depending on client needs you may need to carry a pager, which some employees may balk at. When sites are down, it is super stressful. But it can be recurring revenue and you have a ready set list of people to offer it to: anyone you build something for.
Yup, where I live there can be 3 months of fog/clouds... meaning minimal wind / sun.
> Because historians has long since written the last stroke on the event?

I don’t think so. There are likely still findings to be made. Robert Fisk would occasionally write on this exact topic.

In his book The Great War for Civilisation he describes finding human remains from a massacre of Armenians in Syria. The event was described to him by an elderly survivor and Fisk later sought out the location.

The below link is an example and there are numerous articles.

"Not on the internet"

I doubt multinational corporations are hiring assassins from the dark web.

I suspect if they are using assassins for hire it's most likely a person to person networking effort: They have a rich friend who has ties to shady ex-army guys etc.

No paper trail. No electronic receipts. Nearly no chance of anything legally provable. A minimum of 2+ degrees of separation etc.

I doubt it's Assassins As A Service: it's just knowing how to find a guy who for 100k doesn't ask questions and can't answer any if he's caught.

It's hard for me to tell what git-ps is actually doing behind the scene and how it works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbuket and others.
Looks like in some cases the commands are basically shortcuts to normal git commands (which is not bad thing in itself), and some command do more stuff but I don't know what.

git ps pull

similar to:
git pull --rebase origin master

git ps rebase

similar to
git rebase -i origin/master

git ps ls

similar to:
git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD
but display more info (Shows incremental commit numbers instead of hash. Shows this "rr" status, but when this "rr" status is shown? When we have remote branch for this commit/path?)

git ps rr 0

This seems to do more. Like pushing the commit to some remote branch and some additional code to create pull request? What is actually the created branch name? (you need branchname to create PR in Github and others right?)

git ps pub 0

This is merging branch created for "0" commit to master and push it to origin? How can it work with Github, Bitbucket where you often have protected master branch and must merge PR in web UI?

>git-ps is the first way I have found where managing the stack of patches feels easy and natural while still allowing me to use GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab for peer review.

Maybe it would be good to describe more what is happening behind the scenes when you do this "git ps" commands. At the end of article you mention that you need to know Git. I know it, but I don't know what is happening behind the scenes (I could probably test it myself by actually using git-ps, but I've just read this article)

Incompetent vs malice...

This hate is a bit present, still today. In Stockholm, Sweden, 5 years ago:

"Death to the Armenian dogs",

said B. Leylani, who was, back then, the vice president of the Turkish National Association of Sweden. The spectators (Turkish extremists?) were cheering. Later he had to resign (there are also, of course, kind and reasonable people in that organization, who don't want any more genocides, and I presume they didn't like what he said).

Apparently when the genocidal state, the Ottoman Empire, doesn't get defeated in a war (like happened to the nazis), and doesn't get removed / put in prison, then the genocidal ideas can a bit live on and be somewhat strong, 100 years later.

I'm not saying that people in Turkey would be like that. Angry extremists are always few, in comparison to the many more people who are silent, right. I have friends who are Turkish (they don't like Erdagon b.t.w.).

With so many people so enthusiastic about the war and death...it makes you wonder why the US needed to implement the draft in the first place.

Not all Christian sects (nor individual Christians) are textual literalists. (Probably most aren't, with respect to arbitrary single verses. There's a lot of random crap in there. E.g., https://www.salon.com/2014/05/31/11_kinds_of_bible_verses_ch... )
More effective still is bitemporalism, or even just unitemporalism.

Let's do a unitemporal table. Instead of `published_at`, you retain the `is_published` boolean field. On the row you have a `valid_time` timestamp range; alternatively `valid_began` and `valid_ended` timestamps if your database doesn't do ranges.

The range shows the time during which the fact is true. At creation you set `[now, Infinity)` to indicate that it is true as of the entry. When it becomes false you change the row to `[then, now)`. Outside of that range, the record is false.

Notably this lets you encode the switching back and forth of a value over time with no ambiguity about when something began or ceased to be true. More importantly, it's not limited to bools. Any row can be turned into a unitemporal or bitemporal form. If, as others are rightfully suggesting, you should favour enums, not a problem. Strings? Numbers? Complex types? Embedded XML? All fine in the eyes of temporal tables.

Some databases even include SQL:2011 temporal table support for "application time" and "system time". I expect whenever it lands in PostgreSQL it'll reach a far wider audience here at HN.
They're learning all kinds of things by seeing how plants grow in microgravity and more recently how 3D printers work in the same. It didn't need to cost a trillion dollars for that, but now that it's there, we might just get over a trillion dollars worth of science out of it.
Keep in mind that you are not seeing a complete "half" of the earth in this picture. As your distance increases, the effective horizon encompasses more of the surface. Only at infinite distance would you see exactly half of a sphere (mathematically speaking).

Try taking a picture of your globe closer and closer to the surface and watch as less of the surface is visible in each.

I have ADHD, and forgetting such things is quite common for me. I read these stories with horror.
Search for "victim blaming" or "she was looking for trouble dressing like that and walking late at night on the streets".
That article only covers homicide, which is a relatively rare crime. There are many other types of crimes that can warrant a police response and arrest such as property crime, assault, robbery, etc.

In addition, the link provided only covers relative homicide rates, ie what percentage of homicides that occur are committed by member of a given race. It does not address what percentage of individuals in a given demographic that have committed homicide.

These sources from the fbi provide a bit better context:

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/revcoa18.pdf

Of course, looking at crime statistics only through the lens of race and ethnicity also misses a lot of context. Poverty rates have a huge impact on crime rates and due to racism, both present and past, poverty rates in the American black demographic are much higher than poverty rates in the American white demographic.

Nope. This is how the system works.
There is a version of this list that is reasonable, but the nature of the sourcing has obviously turned it into petty social politics (i.e. "X person I sympathize with is being oppressed by the evil people who are ruining my society", "thought crime", etc).
Anyone who views the Kent State killings as “justice” is deeply dangerous to the health and well-being of those around them.
My ancestors were murdered both during the Genocide in Anatolia, and in the violence in the years immediately following. I’m also half Jewish. I count both Germans and Turks as friends, but while I have mostly positive opinions of the modern German state, and have gladly visited the country, I can’t say the same for Turkey. The denial of my family’s history is an open wound.

The stories are painful, and the legacy of that pain affects my family even today. My grandparents saw their family members and community murdered and had to rebuild their lives abroad. My grandmother, toward the end of her life, would weep, recounting the violence she endured, reliving the experience in her decline. These scars can persist across generations.

There are two excellent books I can recommend:
1. Black Dog of Fate, by Peter Balakian
2. They Can Live in the Desert, but Nowhere Else, by Ronald Grigor Suny

The first is more of a first person narrative describing the lingering effects of the genocide across generations in the Balakian family, very poetic. It’s a great read, full of life, and poignant in its portrayal of inter-generational pain.

The second is a straight history by a historian, tracing the events, causes, people, etc. It’s a dense, but good read.
