Palestine was not gifted to European settlers, small part of it was given to the Jews who lived there at the time and had a Palestinian citizenship, whether it was Jews who lived there for generations long before the Arab colonialism of the Levant or Jews who immigrated legally from other areas of the middle east or Europe during the Ottoman empire and the British mandate. Palestine is the name coined for Judea by the Romans, it is a bit of a cultural appropriation that Arab colonialists
are calling themselves these days "Palestinians", a name that was always associated with the Jews and the land of Israel.

Coincidentally, some of those Jews who immigrated to Israel were refugees from Iraq where the "Palestinian" Mufti of Jerusalem incited the population to commit a pogrom against the Jewish population known as the Farhud after meeting with Hitler and agreeing to spread the Nazi propaganda in the middle east. Iraq was ethnically cleaned from Jews, one of the longest standing Jewish communities of the world by the leader of the Arab invaders of Palestine.
For background consistent with the overall theme of this post, I'd strongly recommend Solzhenitsyn's "The Red Wheel" [0], and especially the first volume, "August 1914" (1984 edition).

> An interesting thing we saw was that investing in D-list creators could have a way higher ROI than A-list creators. An A-list creator could get a large number of followers but would not get the devotion that the D-list creators would get.

I would think that goes both ways, no?

Someone small is going to take good care of a $100/month donator, for example.
Entirely speculation, but one reason I can imagine is that if everyone is sick at the same time then even basic nursing is not possible, and often just getting fluids into someone makes a giant difference. Has there been a place/time during the pandemic where millions got infected at once in a high density, poorer country?
Directions could often benefit from context - do you want to go to the front door or do you want to park somewhere? Those can be very different places if you are in a city, and you may not be aware of the difference.

I've had google directions send me to someplace close to a city park, but not the actual city park several times, and I'm not sure why.
Does that equate to 50% of the base hourly pay?
The sequencing machines were probably not designed to deal with dirt. Some small chance that it is a problem with the machines.
I always recommend to wait like 5 years until the dust settles and you can see pass the overhype of the authors and the overhype of the university press release, but after reading about megavirus[1], transposon[2], plasmids[3] and other stuff, this new category does not look impossible.

ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) definitely proves that the machine that searches for an inconsistency in ZFC halts. That is a direct consequnce of ¬Con(ZFC). Keep in mind that by "proves" I'm only saying that there exists a logical deduction from the axioms. I'm not saying that it is true or false. Remember that logical deductions are "truth preserving", but we can only conclude that the conclusions are true if the axioms at the start are all true.

So again, we have a proof in some sketchy axiom system that the machine that searches for an inconsistency in ZFC halts. The question is whether that conclusion is a true statement or not, whether that machine actually does or does not halt. You can start up that program on your laptop while we consider it. Maybe it will halt during our discussion. I also want to point out that whether that conclusion is a true statement or not has no bearing on whether the deduction system was sound to begin with. Unsound systems can prove true statement, simply by accident rather than by design.

Case (1) that machine doesn't really halt, then ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) proves an untrue statement, and we thus the system is unsound.

Case (2) that machine does really halt. Then this particular conclusion wasn't untrue, but we have another problem. We can take the output of that machine, decode it, and we have a proof of an inconsistency in ZFC. Again this is just a deduction, it doesn't mean that math is wrong or the world ends. Just that the ZFC axiom system is so unsound that it is inconsistent, and it has some untrue axioms. Nevertheless we can use such a proof and derive a proof that ZFC prove `while(true)` halts, and in turn transform that into a proof in ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) that `while(true)` halts. And it is definitely the case that `while(true)` doesn't halt. So in this case we have found a different but still untrue statement that ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) proves. Our conclusion is the same: ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) is unsound.

So in either case `ZFC+¬Con(ZFC)` proves some machine halts that doesn't. I haven't concluded which of the two machines it is wrong about though I have my personal suspicions, but it is definitely wrong about one of them.
as far as i can tell, the whole point of haikuos at this point is "fun". as pointed out e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system)#Criti..., haiku will never be a "mainstream" os. it seems plausible to me that riscv enablement is more "fun" than figuring out how to mangle crappy proprietary drivers enough to barely run.
I think most people believe that the problem with robots is that we don't have the right software, and if we just knew how to program them then today's robots could be incredibly useful in everyday life. From that perspective, this move from OpenAI seems dumb.

That belief is wrong. Today's robots can't be made useful in everyday life no matter how advanced the software. The hardware is too inflexible, too unreliable, too fragile, too rigid, too heavy, too dangerous, too expensive, too slow.

In the past the software and hardware were equally bad, but today machine learning is advancing like crazy, while the hardware is improving at a snail's pace in comparison. Solving robotics is now a hardware problem, not a software problem. When the hardware is ready, the software will be comparatively easy to develop. Without the right hardware, you can't develop the appropriate software.

OpenAI is right to ignore robotics for now. It's a job for companies with a hardware focus, for at least the next decade.
Conversely, in my own experience, Pipewire removed everything I held dear, destroyed my will to compute, and has somehow crippled my systems for the purposes of multitasking with any type of media playing.

Hyperbole aside, I'm glad someone was looking at the audio situation, but this one seemed to knock me out of the game on every machine that received it. Examples of common scenarios for me: I can't have firefox open and virtualbox at the same time, or bitwig and firefox, or visual studio and audacious. Common pairs of apps cause a bitrate mismatch for whatever reason, and everything sounds like a heavily bitcrushed and ring modulated signal.

The exception to this are machines that were installed with pipewire, rather than upgraded to pipewire. Also, using Cadence, a router type app helps, but inconsistently.
I think that's quite fair, thanks for the response.

I personally don't read into any of the nuances of the different phrases, so for me they are directly equivalent. I suppose if I were a writer, I might pay more attention to the phrasing.

I guess as defined in my own vocabulary, suicide is always deliberate, or else it would be an accidental death caused by the victim.
Essentially you self-host it and it operates, I assume, via YouTube’s API or scraping.

Invidious is another alternative frontend to youtube. I use it because it loads much faster than YT and it has an API that makes it easy for me to batch download my playlists. However it occasionally gets authentication errors and I have to restart the service manually.
"Then you should be able to come up with a function that assigns a natural number uniquely to each real number.
Of course if you tried that I could immediately name you a real number, or a pair of them, for which your rule doesn't work"

I can give you a function that will never output the same natural number on any two real numbers unless those two real numbers are equal.

My function outputs the binary value of the Unicode encoding of the description of the number that you provide.

Go ahead, name me a pair of real numbers for which my rule doesn't work.
Vegetables bought from contract farms (most of them) are bought by weight. This means the farmers have an incentive to over water right before harvest weigh in heavy. Even for stupid stuff like ketchup where more energy is then spent to dehydrate the water right back out.
Interesting get. Pocket Casts was previously acquired by a combined NPR, WNYC Studios, WBEZ Chicago and This American Life in 2018. I wonder what's been going on behind the scenes between then and now.
The alternative to Google is self-hosted Open Source and Free Software and it exists today. Unfortunately for you it isn't easy to find work on self-hosted FLOSS projects and there isn't much demand for consultants helping deploy those projects.

Ach I dunno, did you read any of the Culture novels by Banks? His post scarcity human/machine setup the closest thing to a utopia I can think of, but there are still a good load of novels there :)
Companies tend to work (as we humans do) under the principle of least effort.

More employees means more HR work, more administrative work, more legal work, more work in general, and unless the benefits of hiring more people are great, they will just abuse the employees at hand.
It’s pretty incomplete to figure that the coast or the weather are the reasons land is expensive in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

>As long as something keeps working, and you're equipped to go digging if and when it's necessary, it's fine to not understand or know how something works

How do you know it's working if you don't understand it? What's preventing some admin socket to be activated, is the firewall good, etc
A good chunk of those are about the conflicts/interactions of the utopia with the rest of the universe, at least as the backdrop. (Which also works for solarpunk stories)
If you're claiming the existence of entities that you are unable to identify or express, you're veering into religion and faith.
> But this case is, that the guy is renting the car, and Tesla wants him to fix to their standards

If Tesla the manufacturer charges twenty times more for a repair, it's certainly reasonable to check other alternatives first.

If Tesla the leasor insists that repairs must be done by Tesla the manufacturer, then it seems only fair and equitable that the leasor pays the 1,900 % excess charge to the manufacturer. (It's not as if they'll be that much out of pocket anyway.)
Not consistently, but around 2/3 of the time. I'm usually on trails where there aren't many people and which I know well, so I can go full speed, which is between 30 and 40, rarely 50 kmh downwards. This is on a MTB with offroad tires, which kind of glues you to the ground.

These are the last 3 days https://imgur.com/a/MG7AlOw

Top is Thursday, middle Friday, bottom Saturday.

The lower part of the image contains a red line, which is my heart rate. You can dimly see a green and a red region, where red is anaerobic, the transparent area below it aerobic, the green area fat burning, the area above red is the warning zone above 90%.

The white and green line is the speed, where white is GPS-speed and green is a speed sensor on the wheel. Blue is the pedal cadence, apparently the battery is dying.

Black is GPS altitude, dotted black is barometer and magenta is environment temperature (an ESP32 with a Bosch sensor connected via BLE to the phone).

The first one was Thursday in the morning, because I had my second vaccine that afternoon.

The second one in the late afternoon because I wanted to wait as long as possible because of the vaccine. You can see in the white speed profile that I was doing the bedding-in of new break-pads while going down the hill. This was with another bike where apparently both the speed and the candence sensors are dead.

The third one was a longer ride today where I went up the mountain on the other side (shortly after 5pm) with an average speed of around 7 kmh climbing a height of 170 m. This was a total of 28 km in 1:30 h.
... But do the penguins fight back sometimes ? :)
Engagement is an easily-gamed metric that (in the absence of heavy gaming) usually vaguely reflects satisfaction, addiction and usefulness. Gaming for engagement is unethical in the general case, but I suspect this specific instance is leaning towards “satisfaction” / enjoyment, rather than addiction. (I'm not certain, though; I don't understand the (para)social dynamics well.)
It seems pretty clear to me that high labor farming can use land area and water more efficiently per unit of food produced.
It’s these people I think about when reading the weekly threads here on developer burn out.
Crazy 4 for UX design wireframes
What conversation could this person possibly have on a take like this? So what if the answer was simply “Yes.”
Gtk does not do fractional scaling at all. It just does integer scaling then relies on the compositor to zoom in/out the window as necessary. This results in blurriness and poor performance.

Qt can do true arbitrary fractional scaling, which has other problems.
I don’t think it’s possible not to have a bit of a soft spot for the affront..

They would also get the "promise" that the system they were betting on would also get contributions from other companies, making a safer long term bet.

Probably more. At 20/hr, salary is 40k per year. At my workplace employee overhead is >100k on top of salary, so 20k overhead seems verry low
He was featured anonymously.

Though it's possible that there is enough information (age, tenure, gender) in the article to identify him. A bit hard to say.

He'd also have a pretty clear cut case with the NLRB if he was fired or otherwise punished for talking to the press about labor conditions (which isn't to say that this doesn't happen sometimes anyways).

EDIT: Er, nevermind. I misread it as being told to Mark McCarter thinking he was the Vice journalist. But he's actually the factory employee and Lauren Gurley is the journalist. I'm an idiot. TY ALittleLight for pointing out my mistake.
It's bad on desktop, too.

If I hit page down, it scrolls the size of the frame, and not my screen. The frame is taller than my screen, so page down scrolls more than a screen full. I would have to use arrow keys or the mouse wheel to read it.

I tried scaling the page down so that the frame fits on screen, but page down still scrolls too far, somehow?
Borg is short for Cyborg. Cyborg is a portmanteau of Cybernetic Organism. Cybernetic is from the Greek kybernetike, while Organism is from the Greek organismos.

You're happy now.
There are several culture books that feel a lot like dystopias - they are just less popular. Culture also cheats, with most of the popular ones using Contact with it’s fundamentally problematic and ‘messy’ interactions with non-Culture to create the necessary conflict for an interesting story.

Since most Utopia descriptions seem to imply that everyone is in the utopia, that is a lot harder.

The books that go into what it would be like actually living in a Culture society with other people/interpersonal relations get.. pretty gross pretty fast IMO.
Yeah, they always win even though they have worse technology mostly just through force of numbers. Baffling really..

Maybe in an alternate universe we could have had zfs, smf and dtrace…
For fully vaccinated. Up here we have focussed mostly on first-dose coverage, and we even delayed second dose to get as many first doses out as possible. Ontario is now at 79% first dose coverage for those over 12 (93% of those over 60 years) and 60% fully vaccinated over 12. It looks like we may ultimately settle around 90% over the next few months?

I'm pleasantly surprised. I honestly expected it to drop off after about 70% and for us to start running out of volunteers not much after the USA. I guess people's hesitancy has dissipated. And the antivax spectre was overblown, at least here. Some local data for the curious: https://russell-pollari.github.io/ontario-covid19/vaccinatio...
I think “Borg” comes from “Cyborg” which comes from “Cybernetic Organism.”

20% is definitely a lot. But if you look at the estimates of the death rate in Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge, they range from a bit over one million to almost three and a half in a population of roughly eight. So it does seem doable.
That's just an issue with it being associate with Google, though - recommendations are based on your viewing habits and that's done server-side. Most people use recommendations at least somewhat, and don't find absolutely all of the videos via just the subscription and search features.
Huge. We watched the launch and the repairs in school.

Easy, once the hospitals get overwhelmed nobody will be able to get hospital treatment. Everyone who needs to be hospitalized who isn't hospitalized WILL DIE. The hospitalization rate is about 20%. So right off the top we'll see about 6 million deaths.

Everyone who is sick will be stuck at home with family members, entire households will get sick, and they will keep re-infecting each other because, doubly difficult is the fact that there are multiple variants being spread, so it's possible to get re-infected with a different variant, the immune systems of the sick are overwhelmed and compromised. We'll see entire households dying. This is where the death rates really start to climb, it wouldn't surprise me if we see 8-9 Million deaths from this group.

Combine COVID with other illnesses and you get very high death rates.

Because Myanmar will be acting like a petri dish we'll start to see all kinds of variants get spawned, we could end up with a version the burns itself out. We could get a version that has 10-12 day incubation period where people are asymptomatic but that has a 50-80% death rate, a version like this could sweep back through the world with devastating effects.

Because some people are vaccinated and the vaccine is only 90% effective, we'll see people who are vaccinated who get sick. One of the variants could end up not be prevented by the vaccine, and that version could boomerang back through the world.

A lot of really bad things are possible.
I honestly can't make head nor tails of what you've said here, and am left wondering if you're a bot?

I made a statement, on-topic, about the nature and history of censorship, Google's credibility as arbiter of truth, and how naked they appear now as a result of how extreme they've become in that self-appointed role.

If you're not a bot, maybe try reading it again with that understanding?
It just sucks to know that even premium paying subscribers still get surveilled as aggressively as the free users. It's the same with Spotify, major news outlets, financial institutions, etc.

You probably meant to say 6+ years instead of a “few years”. Apple is excellent compared to everyone else in this respect.
Which ones? I’ve read the whole series multiple times and I can’t think of the society as a dystopia. Look to windward is probably my favourite.
Nope, if you see RL as just another tool for niche industrial domains? One of the targets put forward at global level is, for example, a fully automated, closed-cycle, high-throughput lab for drug discovery. More in general, fully automated factories and networks of factories (another reason why delocalization of supply chain is not being pursued anymore).
RustBelt: Computer Scientist proves safety claims of Rust programming language
I'm not an expert, but I'd suggest hardware is trailing software, but there is still great progress happening in materials design, soft-robots, miniaturization, etc. Just as in the computer era, we go through phases where the software is ahead of hardware, then hardware gets ahead of software. It seems that is a pendulum that swings, and the argument many people have to the integrated pipeline Apple operates.
Sure there’s a lot of variables here. If you’re a Windows shop I would not expect a push for docker since it is Linux based. As far as multi-tenant logical databases, that is also highly dependent on workload and failure domains (and significant cost if you’re talking Oracle).
I feel so bad for Hong Kong. So much spirit and culture will be lost from this transition to authoritarian rule.
