> Trying to put equal blame on the Palestinians is just providing cover for the Israeli's on-going genocide of Palestinians.

People really like to throw the word genocide around, but I really can't see how it's applicable here. The population has been steadily growing for many many years now[0]. If you consider this genocide, it must be the least effective genocide in recorded history.

Considering the huge imbalance of military power, it seems entirely reasonable that if Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could do it. Why waste all this money on targetted air strikes when you could just indiscriminately drop bombs? They say that each Iron Dome counter missle costs ~40k, instead of investing in counter missles, why not just use that to flatten Gazza and the West Bank?

There are many statements you can make about Israel and it's treatment of Palestinians, but trying to claim that they are committing genocide seems very disingenuous to me.

Thank you.

I did not make the association with viaweb. Yay RTML.

This makes me wonder what sort of steps will be taken to avert this kind of catastrophe when we finally get to Mars.

In fact there are so many pyscho-/social aspects of the journey to Mars, and eventually landing, that I really wonder what steps are in place to ensure things stay on the rails.

I can imagine a scenario where we finally get to Mars, but are defeated by our own minds. I truly hope someone is working on this issue before we get there ..
I would say "Anything that offers insight in to the world way software is" -- since Mr. Robot is entirely fictional so wouldn't qualify for me but I would add that it at least tries to be faithful to what software is. Terminology seems appropriately used it forgoes many cheap Hollywood software tropes.
That really is a great lens. Versatile as well since on a crop camera it’s a useful focal length too. IMHO the difference with the more expensive lenses is more about durability (a fair trade off since they’re cheap) and handling (easier manual focus, distance markings) than image quality.
It is surprising to me how blind Google is to the second-order effects of this is. Suppose that this model of rendering pixels to canvas is a success. Suppose it is adopted by various content serving systems like WordPress, JavaScript frameworks, etc. Now Google Search has nothing to index! The whole web just became completely unsearchable. Google Search, and all web search as a concept, becomes mostly useless.

You might think that Google assumes that they’d be served special content to index, but I remember the shenanigans that people used to pull with serving the Google bot one set of content and actual page visitors other content, and how Google has to continually fight against this to preserve the relevancy of search results. If canvas rendering becomes normal, Google will have no way to fight against this anymore, and Google search results will be dominated by links which does not contain the promised content.

It’s possible that Google thinks that Google is big enough that nobody will opt out of being searchable by Google, but consider Facebook. Facebook content is basically impossible to find using Google, and everybody wants to be the new Facebook, right?

As I see it, the efficacy of Google Search rests on a few premises which were true in the 1990s:

1. Web content which is created without indexing in mind will be able to be indexed by Google.

2. If web content creators have indexing in mind, they want Google to index the content, and the path of least resistance will allow Google to do it.

3. If web content creators want to play funny games and serve one set of content to Google and other content to site visitors, this is difficult and requires playing a constant game of cat-and-mouse with Google.

If canvas rendering becomes the new thing, all three of these things reverse and becomes false. How, then, could Google Search stay relevant? Why would people pay to advertise on Google if Search becomes useless? Especially when Facebook ads exist, and Facebook is where people spend more than 90% of their web time on, anyway.

It's a nightmare in practice. Catching someone up on a conversation ends up being a mess of forwarding multiple overlapping but partially distinct emails and then constantly having to resend messages as different people get dropped in different replies. Exiting such a conversation is even harder.

The cost is much bigger than the benefit.

There's no authentication. You can't associate yourself with multiple organisations except by using multiple addresses, and then there's no way to reflect that those are somehow the same.
I think you're confusing 'smart' with 'moral'.

An immoral person can be smart. And in fact it's a common and dangerous mistake to assume someone's stupid because you think they're immoral.
50% is super high in the US, generally speaking, especially for income in that range. The person may be overpaying in taxes, or is including other stuff in 'taxes', or has an incredibly high local/state tax rate. A single person with no dependents earning $72k/year would, generally speaking, have a federal tax burden of around $8900 - 12%.
>Local competitors would not survive against something like Google without government protection

So you want them to be protected. In other words, protectionism?
> There's no separate entity that is "the government"

Of course there is. The government exists and is staffed by a very small portion of the general population. I simply don't understand how anyone could believe otherwise.

It's not even possible to argue that governments represent the people's interests since corporations constantly lobby it in order to get favorable decisions and laws.

> except other people, who it turns out, may want different things than what you want

What these people want is irrelevant. This is about what people need. People need things such as essential services and basic infrastructure. This is not controversial in any way. Governments failing to provide this basic stuff defeats their whole purpose.
The fix isn't the fines, it's the requirement to stop given behaviors. Google won't care about the fine it just got, sure, but it also can't block competing apps in this way again, at least in this jurisdiction.

It's a small victory, but it's also a hole in the armor. One of many, as various antitrust cases handle various abuses. Unfortunately, progress is slow but we're making it.

Why do people in the Python community get so excited over announcements? I'd rather see working code, but no one cares about that in the Python universe.

It is always announcements, talks, conferences and if something emerges it is a bit weird like the pattern matching.

Meanwhile the Erlang people quietly produced a JIT without any advertisements.
It wasn’t artificial, it was required to prevent random shutdowns due to over-voltage on a degraded battery. The fine was due to them not telling the consumer like they do now in ‘battery health’.
There is a lot of phone malware, showing random ad notifications, collecting gps data, sending it to whoknowswhere, some even sending premium sms messages, etc. There are less drive-by installs, but more intentional installs (eg. flashlight app with a gajillion permissions).
In the olden days around VS 6, Microsoft only had one "C/C++" compiler. Needless to say it not very standard compliant, but C was still mostly a C++ subset, and the differences were anyway smaller than the deviations of MSVC from the C++ standard. So it made sense to just compile everything as C++.
I just spent 10 minutes playing with it while my cowworkers were blabbering about. Very relaxing.
OCaml is...

* functional

* strongly, statically typed

* garbage-collected

OCaml can compile to a native binary, or to JS via ReScript (formerly BuckleScript).
Could you explain (in simple terms if possible) how the Multicore OCaml achieves a memory model which is much simpler on more efficient than in Java or C (mentioned at https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/ocaml-multicore/wiki)?

Didn't see any mentions of critical sections (mutexes) with C++ examples in the documentation ("Bounding Data Races in Space and Time"). I'm not sure I understand the comparisons the writers are presenting.
This particular attack seems difficult in practice. Reassembled fragments still need to yield a checksum-valid frame. With TLS becoming the norm most laptop/mobile/server communication channels will not be affected.

As mentioned in the paper, the problem is indeed that MCUs have become so cheap that every $7 light bulb is equipped with WiFi. The firmware on these devices is almost never updated after production. And even on devices that are being updated, like philips hue, it's often found that WiFi chipsets run their own firmware.

This doesn't seem like a good PR move for Azure in terms of enterprise sales. One of the big selling points of AWS is that they support everything pretty much forever. Azure has now made it clear that they can and will shutdown services with relatively short notice.
Although I agree with your interpretation of the term "minoritized background", I think the author's choice of words was unfortunate. "Disadvantaged" or "Less Privileged" would be more appropriate.
You can either rotate it after the time period where it alerts them, to be annoying (they have to keep dismissing it). Or, you rotate it before it alerts them, and stitch the tracking together. That's the more dangerous bit. Apple only alerts if a specific tag is following you for more than X whatever.
You do realize that capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than regular income? Doing this only makes you pay more taxes.
I would suspect using that option would only open up a bunch of other unexpected issues, only because Windows programs have been written expecting that case insensitive file system.

Flipping that setting might make the file system case sensitive, but those Windows applications would still be working as if they were running in a case insensitive world.

Ah, the old classic "the 16th Amendment was never really ratified" argument. A perennial loser when it is brought up in court.

It is such a weak argument that now I'm wondering if that site is as sloppy in their research on the other interesting articles I found there, like the ones about how there were more white slaves than black slaves in the US, or how the Rothschilds control the US, or chemtrails are real and drenching the population with mercury (to accomplish one or more of: make it hard to prove that mercury in vaccines is a source of harm, to reduce the population, or centralize power with the UN), or a bunch of stuff on the Pope, the Freemasons, and the Illuminati that was sufficiently incoherent that I couldn't quite tell what they were claiming.

Mind that currently they take 1% of all EU revenues of international corporations.

For a "fair" scheme they would tax on their share of revenue.

Irish GDP is about 2.5% of EU GDP. 20% of 2.5% is 0.5%

So with the current scheme they make double.

And yes, that calculation is wrong in many ways. On the one side the current GDP is increased due to the tax business (they are 1% of population) on the other hand there are still many company's not doing the Irish game. And yes, I ignored the Dutch for this calculation ...

When you like a tech, knowing people are brewing improved perfs on it is kinky. On Python, the motto has always been "it's fast enough", "if you want perfs, don't use python", "C extensions will solve this", "we don't want to make the main implementation complicated", "python dynamism and GIL make it a hard problem", etc.

So in the python world, it's particularly big news, especially given that previous attempts (gilectomy, unladen swallow, first pyston...) all died.

> How is this not a dark pattern?

It's common for potential customers to have a need and a problem but not understand their own need or problem. The customer's lack of understanding of their problem doesn't mean they don't need the product ("wow, I didn't realize I had cancer/bad breath/incorrectly spelled words on my website - thanks for helping me understand I need chemo/a toothbrush/a spell-checker" or "I knew I couldn't spell but I didn't realize it was making people leave my website without reading the content, thank you for helping me understand I need a spell-checker") so sales activities often involve helping the customer recognize a problem as a problem and as a problem they face. This is particularly common in enterprise sales where the sales reps tend to function as expert consultants who have much deeper understanding of the problem at hand than the organization experiencing the problem, because of the scale and complexity of the problems and the reality that each organization ideally solves the problem in question at most once but the sales reps are involved in helping dozens or hundreds of companies identify and solve the problem. If you want to call all sales activities "Dark Patterns" that's your choice, but the word "sales" has served us well for hundreds of years, as have "advertising," "marketing," and "branding."

OCaml is statically typed functional programming language. It's a cousin of Haskell. It has some nice things like automatic type inference so you don't have to write very many type annotations. It's not as focused on purity as Haskell so its easier to mutate state where you want to but you get a lot of the niceties of ML programming languages like pattern matching, variants, structural typing in places.

It also has object-oriented features, though they aren't widely used the attitude is something like OO is there if we need it and we're definitely willing to use it in places that require it.

Its pretty fast for a functional language and you could probably get pretty far with it before you'd have to consider using a real low level langauge.

The disadvantages I think are pretty uncontroversial: a smaller community, not as many libraries, a bit of a fractured stdlib and build situation and until now no multicore.
