How about criticizing Hamas, a terrorist organization, for shooting rockets at civilian populations of a country with one of the most advanced armies of the world?

How about criticizing Hamas for shooting these rockets from civilian centers?

Seems like the media is willfully ignorant here.

Then you have nonsense like:

Clearly this smells foul.
>This seems obvious to me as the wealthy have ways of shielding their wealth through investment that will inflate along with the general price level.

I see this repeated so often but people fail to grasp the nuance. If you buy stocks, someone else gets your money and they have the inflation problem. If that someone else is part of the middle class or below then you already won because rich people sent their money to less rich people. If that someone is another rich person, then that person will be stuck with the inflation problem. The only way you can avoid the inflation problem by buying stocks is if the company whose stock you are buying from sells you the stock, and then uses the money to do business, which usually involves hiring people and most people care more about having good jobs (i.e. a 20% raise), than seeing the rich gain 4% on their portfolio.
Too long for my taste. The guy must be paid per character. That information might have been packed into 10th of the article size. Really annoying style.
That is my experience, too. I worked on a SPA with a more or less simple looking table that presented hierarchical data and made them editable with form elements. Under the hood there were hundred lines of very dense rxjs code and the whole thing was communicating with about 10 HTTP endpoints. But it looked simple.

Fact-checking Modi’s post-truth India / AltNews origin story
There are multiple issues with open balots:

Firstly people will be afraid to support their opinion via voting in many cases because they will be concerned not so much with their friends, but with their employers and colleagues. In Rome only citizens could vote, and sure not all citizens were rich but they were generally speaking not the bottom rungs of society and would be less concerned about their job than many of the poorest citizens in today's society.

It isn't just intimidation it is also a method by which buying votes directly is disincentivized.

Sure technically I can claim to sell my vote now, but the person buying it is taking it on faith I am actually selling it, which means nobody tries to actually buy votes directly. They will attempt to buy votes by say, bribing people in certain positions to endorse them, but they won't try and do so directly.

I you are at all interested in this sort of thing then I recommend this book:

John Chadwick -
The Decipherment of Linear B

It is written for the lay person and describes the process of cracking linear B and some of the human story as well as info about the ancient civilization.
I suppose the difference is that in most other places in the world there would be no 'costs stemming from a false arrest' (I mean direct costs if you exclude things like the opportunity cost of lost time, and the damages/stress inflicted, etc).
Roughly the same way I feel about HIPPA certification. Except that there is an additional interaction of building codes with zoning laws that leads to inflated housing prices in the US. Also, if you want to know if the house was built to code, you have to inspect it yourself, or at least be on site frequently enough to keep the trash from being stashed in the dead space.

There is of course a separation between safety and standards that is hard for laws and codes to grasp. The separation between intention and results is one of the reasons why you want these things explicitly defined as part of a formal specification for a law, it makes it possible to determine whether it is having the desired effect, and if it is not it could .e.g trigger a clause removing the code from being in effect. Rent controls would be a perfect example for this, though the whole point of my argument in my top level response is that trying to measure whether rent control is effective is the hard part (every serious study of rent controls shows that they are not).
Today I released my first book about Ruby
Hi, today I released my book, which describes how to build a Ruby application with Roda and Sequel. Almost ten years of working with the Ruby on Rails framework meant that I started looking for an alternative way to build web applications using the Ruby language. This book shows how to build, document, and test a REST API. I invite all fans of the Ruby language. I am curious about your opinion, each one is welcome, even the negative ones :) I created a special coupon code for the hackernews community that gives a 20% discount:

Yes, sorry, you're on the right path. I did not think I must explain what exactly made me laugh there.
Are you positive that positioning this as a tool which has smart/automatic features or suggestions is more powerful of a promise than positioning this is a technique/framework?

Reading the copy, I have the impression that the smart/automatic features are given too much credit and are being drawn to the spotlight but can't hold their own.
Lossless to airplay speakers would be possible.
I know - the border-radius ones were simply opinion, which I happen to not always agree with.
I am not sure that national security plays much of a role when the alternative to free research is paywalled research.

If you can pay to download a research paper on JSTOR, how confidential is it really?
Agreed. West coast snowflakes get bent out of shape at the least hint of directness, honesty (esp. about their shit startup ideas) and criticism.

I've also found Germans to be pretty straight shooters. On a scale of Duty to Californian, their def. closer to Dutch.
i imagine the point of this isn't focused on ease of reading...
Nice tool, congrats! One suggestion from my side: add a video showing the main features and how it compares with other (more rudimentary) tools. The GIFs are too short to get an idea of what is exactly the problem that the tool solves.

People who are familiar with mindmaps probably understand the concept, but you might lose others in the signup screen.
All Google products except the Google Translate App are blocked in China. So no Google maps.

I spent 2 months cycling China from Hong Kong to Beijing. Despite only using Chinese characters, Baidu maps worked very well for me. I copied the characters I needed (Hotel, supermarket) into it from the translator.

Yeah, that was the one that made me immediately stop "playing". If dark patterns like that are "objectively" correct, then I would much prefer to be objectively wrong.
It sounds like if we applied the same statistical tools that we use elsewhere to estimate performance of a binary classifier: confusion matrix, AUC - ROC, F score and on top of that considered conditional probabilities when multiple test are applied (having dog sniff after applying "prior knowledge or suspicion") then we would discover that dog sniff test at large is unable to distinguish between two groups.

They preferred a 2014 study from Poland, which eliminated the potential for false positives. Rather than simulating real-world conditions, researchers ensured that every test included measurable quantities of narcotics.

This study's design seems malicious, you don't even need to be a data scientist, but merely have a tiny bit of curiosity, to at least wonder how does it do on tests without narcotics and include it in the test.
There's even games about the concept: https://www.karoshigame.com/
Uploading your local collection directly into your iCloud Music Library should prevent Apple from messing with the data. I uploaded some albums months ago and they've been untouched by Apple so far.
Coronavirus pandemic forced companies all over the world to switch to the remote. Businesses learn to adapt to the new normal - working from home.

So, how should customer service and CX leaders ensure their teams remain engaged, productive, and happy? What are the strategies, skills, and best practices to keep customer service effective and empowered?
Probably suggesting people would start rat farms. Paying large bounties for bugs incentivises developers to introduce bugs for their “friends” to find.

To some extent this dynamic must already exist, which is a troubling thought.
Agree. Any progress is helpful and I'm sure painstakingly hard by smart people. But breakthrough? Nope.
>But rarely does inflation benefit workers. For example now we have average real wages falling by 3%, which is not good news for workers, and that fall is entirely due to inflation.

Negotiating power depends on how close you are to full employment. If an increase in inflation results in more employment then you will get closer to full employment and over the long term you can use your newly gained negotiating power to get wages that outpace inflation.

One problem right now is that things like gas price increases don't meaningfully contribute employment, they are just a short term inflation spike that is going away. i.e. it's stagflation caused by a supply shock

If that were the only thing that matters then the deepwater horizon oil spill would have been great, but there's much more to protecting the environment than CO2.

Lauren Boebert Slams Joe Biden on Twitter, Users Return the Favor
The book in turn appears to be a revised version of the author's 2018 PhD thesis. The thesis isn't open access, but at least an abstract is here: https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/283184

My non-specialist take is that the linked article's explanation of the book/thesis's findings sounds confused. The thesis's abstract is pretty different from what the article seems to be saying.
Uff facepalm. The post is something every grown up should have figured out by himself very early.
I have friends from nearly all -- sure, there are limits -- of the political spectrum exactly because of that.
But nice somebody found it worth posting and hn found it worthwhile picking up.
You can buy simple soil test kits that tell you about your soil's pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash levels. Then you know if/what to replenish. A university or lab near you may also offer a service where you send them a soil sample and you get a detailed report. Probably overkill for a balcony though.
you have the _horizon effect_. You do something, but the repercussions are too far in the future to see what the effect will be. This can cause the machine (or human) to do bad things. For example, trying to postpone the inevitable loss of a Queen which is at the edge of the horizon by giving up a pawn: this "wins" 2 tempi, pushing the loss of the queen behind the horizon. the game moves on, the machine sees the loss of the Queen and this time can give up a Knight to push it behind of the horizon... you get the idea.

There's also the positive horizon effect: you do the right thing, but for the wrong reason fe because there's a refutation that you didn't see. However, the refutation is wrong, and a few forced moves later you do spot why.
I agree with your main point, and not all of Thunderf00t's criticism and math is valid, some feels a bit forced, like in the SpaceX debunked video. I think he unintentionally built his channel around Musk skeptics and now has to follow the track he laid for himself.

However, there's plenty of stuff to be skeptical about and I do not get the rebuttals that Musk created jobs, or helped put electric cars on the map therefore he's beyond criticism. I was his fan right till Thailand cave story developed.

I think the hate Musk gets is fuelled by such shenanigans and more so by his fanboys online.

I'm not informed enough to dig into your SpaceX claim but my first instinct would be to check if SpaceX lifted so much cargo just because they have that largest client (the US), that had no alternative options (Shuttle program discontinued). That is, no one else had clients with so much cargo lifting needs so no one lifted as much, but not because of technical ability. Because Musk likes to play with numbers like that. For example his claims about Boring company's price per mile looks impressive because he compares the boring price with the price of a complete metro project price (Thunderf00t's SpaceX debunked video has more details).
We have a lot of different repositories and internal as well as open source libraries we maintain. We publish things to our internal Nexus when it's internal, and Maven Central when it's public.

Because our product is used in high security scenarios, we needed a way to verify that every artifact we download (from the repos mentioned above) during the CI build is signed to guarantee that if our repositories have been compromised, we won't end up with compromised artifacts being brough into our product anyway (because the signing keys are kept securely in the CI agents, which we trust much more than the repositories as, for example, they are not exposed on the Internet).

So we needed signing keys in the CI agents, and we needed verification public keys (that we trust) in the releaser "machine" (which downloads everything and puts it together for the final build). We also needed the releaser machine to re-sign everything for publication on Maven Central and our distribution website, which our customers use to download it from and can also verify our signature on every artifact.

You're right that a sort of CA could help, but as I understand it, with PGP you don't need that in our case because all keys are controlled by us, so it's easy for us to trust keys and generate new keys as we spawn new agents.

This means our CI master has to have the master key, otherwise it couldn't sign other agent's keys... which is a bit of a problem but we think it's still fine because our master CI is well protected (and if that gets compromised, everything else falls anyway).

It's been working well, but it was complicated to setup and it's a bit inconvenient to use when we do a full product release (it involves updating all keys locally as they're generated for CIs as I mentioned)...
Very true for me too. I write paper notes ordered by time on subjects that I need immediate understanding on. To preserve important conclusions or insights I add them to my digital notes which are organised by topic. I liked the author's idea of having a separate topic based notebook as well to summarise journals. Paper is so much more inviting than any screen I've used so far.
This article is awfully US-centric. Compare French handwriting, which is different. In South America, the printed 'a' came out as a tilted triangle.

* choose the correct drop-shadow for headline text

* is inner bevel or outer bevel more "corporate" looking?

a) boxes

b) buttons

c) ALL TEH THINGS!!! <- this is the correct answer
An interesting example of this is that handwritten hiragana (one of Japan's two non-ideographic character sets) has many variations for some characters, some of which are regional and obscure enough that people won't recognize them. In some cases the variants look like other characters, which can make it very difficult to decipher handwritten text.

In this example: http://www.shosha.kokugo.juen.ac.jp/oshiki/ronbun/currentofr... some of the less common variants (but common enough that I've encountered them) of 'wa わ' look similar to 'yu ゆ', so as a foreigner I found this very challenging and mysterious until I did the research. In comparison the various forms of English characters don't feel so bad anymore :-) If you're familiar with hiragana you'll also notice that a variant of 'を' looks quite similar to 'さ'.

Hiragana also used to include characters that are no longer used in most contexts (you'll still see them in names), like the historical 'wi ゐ' (you can't even input this with some IMEs or look it up by name in en/jp dictionaries). A historian would probably be aware of some western equivalents of this - the only one I'm familiar with is 'et &' (as in 'etc'), which you'll see in old documents as '&c'.

Oh, and how could I forget: if you ask for the USD/JPY exchange rate, Google will call it "Japanese Yen", which is written 'en 円'... because the 'ye' character is no longer a part of hiragana. (I don't actually know whether it's still commonly pronounced as 'yen'. I wouldn't be surprised...)

What a stressful game. Thank God there are no timers in real life terms and conditions.
When the punishment is too harsh the rational response is increased hostility towards the society responsible for the punishment.
People are not stupid. They know life is short, treat them like pariahs that don’t belong to your society and they will surprise you with their despise for the rules of the society that made clear they are not welcome in it.
Of course you don't want the legislative or executive branch to appoint members of the judicial branch. All three branches are supposed to be strictly separate from each other.

If you did allow the other branches to appoint judges, the bench would obviously become stuffed based on who's currently in power.
Where is the aspiration for a better life in that sentence. Where is the idea that the bottom should rise, that ... omg
A critical factor in this experience was the actual room. Anyone dealing with audio and hifi will confirm how much great acoustics depend on a well treated room.

While most of us can't live in such a purpose-optimized room I think OP's point was that a bunch of high quality speakers in that very same auditorium might have yielded very similar results to your experience.

That's exactly what I wanted to comment. The project frankly seems quite naive. At first, I thought it was a joke project. Only to realise, reading the comments, that it was a serious one.

I think the idea that laws are strict rules that are enforced in a robot-like fashion is a common misconception, specially in engineering circles. That's not true in civil law and certainly not true in common law. There are very simple and straightforward cases that can be thought more or less like that, but almost all criminal cases and many civil cases too are very much a game of convincing other people and not satisfying a set of rules. Jury equity is a thing, technically you can acquit someone by not making any efforts into convincing the jury that your client didn't break the law.

The law does not have the last say, humans do. Loopholes are just loopholes as much as the court considers them to be valid.
I don't understand your question. The optical parts are in the lens. The lens, at least in most mirror cameras, whether using single or double-lens, small-, medium-, or large-format, are detachable. Most popular legacy mounts such as M42 can be used on modern DSLR and mirrorless systems with an adapter. Some, such as Nikon F-mount, don't even need an adapter. There are millions of images floating around taken this way, with varying technical/artistic quality.
I’m not OP but this looks very powerful. Thank you!

This is true and the author is right in my view but it's also important to keep in mind "do not utter harsh truths casually".

If you have to deliver information to somebody by all means do it directly but do it thoughtfully and if necessary with some compassion.
