Israel is a Jewish state - it was determined long ago the Jews should get a nation state along side a Palestinian nation state. Considering Jews' unique history of persecution it would be pretty crazy to argue they are not a people, so they are not like white South Africans.
Creating "one democratic state" will rob both the Jews and the Palestinians of their right for self determination. It will also in all likelihood create chaos, because I just don't see how you can take two ethnic communities of about the same size, that hate each other for a century, and make them live in one democratic country.
It would be about as realistic as turning Russia and Germany into one big democratic country. I actually think that Russia and Germany stand a much better chance.

> My phone can do "safety-of-ship" alerting?

Yes. It's a very similar problem to aviation terrain avoidance systems which are now so common, and such a "solved problem", that numerous popular smartphone apps for flying and gliding feature not only terrain warning but features like "will I be able to make it to that airport" determination (for gliders) which factors in a slew of real-time parameters and terrain data.

And, really, "is the plane going to hit terrain the way it's being flown right now?" is far more complex than the problem the author was describing, which "is what you're planning to do going to hit terrain." They commanded a dive to a depth below the ocean floor, and it wasn't like they were trying to run a canyon like Hunt For the Red October...from the sounds of it, nothing in the area was deep enough to permit that dive to happen safely.

This problem is also a problem the PC/console game development community solved, oh, around two decades ago. For quite some time games have simulated bullet physics while also determining if a shot hits a moving, deforming, 3d object, with checks happening in a matter of ~10ms or thereabouts. "Will the submarine pass within X feet of underwater terrain" is a walk in the park.

There's also the matter of the system not needing to assure a maneuver is safe, but merely to serve as an alert when something is obviously not safe. Given how much these things cost, as you point out, I'd say such a system is beyond warranted.

I advise many fintechs with engineering orgs from 5 to 5000, 2 in top 100 - none are blindly single-cloud and none have 25 people dedicated to each of their public clouds. The largest is not on any public clouds due to regulation/compliance and have several colocation facilities for their mission critical - they have less than 25 dedicated in the entire netsec org. This is a company that maintians strict PCI-DSS1 on thousands of servers and thousands of services. If you're employing 25 people per cloud for netsec in a multi cloud environment you have some seriously deficient DevOps practices or your org is 5-figure deep and has been ignoring devops best practices while on cloud for a half decade. Hahsicorps entire business revolves around cloud agnostic toolkits. All clouds speak kubernetes at this point and unless you have un-cloudable components in your stack (like root cert key signing systems on a proprietary appliance) you really should never find yourself in such a scenario where you have that many people overseeing infra security on a public cloud. It's been proven time and time again that too many people managing security is inversely secure.
Maybe it’s terrible because they host their own stuff there.

"In 2006, we filed an international patent application for the cultivation of morels in collaboration with a private patent agency. The application described, among other things, two of the most central cultivation principles which are also used today in our fully developed method for the controlled indoor cultivation of black morels, all-year-round. However, shortly after the application was approved, we decided, on the advice of the Danish Patent Directorate, to withdraw the application before it was published worldwide, as in practice it is relatively easy to circumvent a patent of this type. We are therefore now in a position where we have chosen once and for all to keep the key points of our method secret, not least because we are currently considering the commercial possibilities. This is why we are unfortunately unable to provide any more information on the cultivation process than is given on this website."

in combination with their description of how they and many others spent many years unsuccessfully trying to reproduce a 30 year old USA patent that also claimed an ability to cultivate morels indoors.
This all can be worked around given enough will. Excel files do have a format version number in them somewhere, right? I'm sure they do. So support the old behavior for older files, and the new one for the newer ones. All files created with the new version of Excel won't be affected by that bug, but the older ones, that might rely on it, won't break either.

(I think a lot of people that don't keep up with Chinese news and politics are quite dismissive of both the public and the China watchers' fear of Xi, and I think a big part of this dismissal comes from trash-tier organisations like Sky News constantly publishing dumb "China Bad" pieces.

When you listen to the people on the ground, though, and see all kinds of major precedents being broken daily, it's clear that something profoundly unsettling is going on under Xi's leadership.)

Sure but it won't because anyone can, today, throw a CRUD app on AWS that handles ticketing. The technology is not the reason Ticketmaster is successful. They're successful because of the value they add and the agreements they hold. They're owned by Live Nation. Live Nation owns the venues and manages the careers of artists.

You're welcome to start a competitor today on AWS. It will be cheaper, faster and more effective than a crypto solution, and have all the same features. And it will still fail because the act of issuing and redeeming tickets from a technological perspective is not how Ticketmaster creates value. They're not a $24B business because they figured out how to print QR codes and scan them later.

This is another one of the so-called killer apps that folks hold out to enthuse crypto audiences but it doesn't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

The three core axioms of crypto hold that (1) if you think crypto is a solution to any given problem, you either don't know enough about crypto or about the problem - and (2) if you develop a real honest to goodness business around crypto you can immediately make it cheaper, faster and more efficient by removing the crypto. Lastly (3) you should do it before your competitors do to maximize your edge. But crypto isn't about solving problems or creating value, it's about selling blue sky securities [1].

Fortunately, using Linux doesn't necessarily entail installing or using either.

Screw it, just pull in the entire default repo and call it a day.

With how cheap disk space is now, I wonder how infeasible this would actually be. How much disk and bandwidth would this take for, say, Ubuntu, or Arch, or Arch plus the AUR?

Once everything is installed, the package manager could handle incremental updates rather painlessly if you ran them often enough. Conflicting packages might pose a bit of an issue. But we could just exclude any package with conflicts outside of the base install, leaving it to the user to resolve.
Agreed- an "adversarial" system is what makes strong policy. People / corporations will always try and exploit loopholes or flaws in regulation. When this happens, the regulation can get adapted to align with its actual objectives. Having flawed laws on the books an expecting actors to behave differently than the laws are written doesnt make any sense
You've definitely got a point, but I think you might be oversimplifying a little in some places and maybe missing the bigger picture in some important ways.

There is clearly an asset bubble in cryptocurrencies. But I'm borderline weirded out by how singled-out the crypto asset bubble is compared to say, the US equities asset bubble, or residential real-estate asset bubble, or any of the other places that we're warehousing major currencies inflation. It doesn't really matter if you look at `SPY`, or the Qs, or just one of the FAANGs: from right before the COVID overreaction to the present day a dollar (which hasn't really slipped all that badly against any of its easing-addled peers) buys you about half the amount of Big Tech as it did on Jan 1 2020. Nothing Earth-shattering has happened to the business models or 5-year outlooks of any of these companies. The smartphone market is every bit as saturated as it was 2 years ago. The FB/IG feed ad load is no less maxed out, Waymo isn't running 10MM pilot level 5 autonomous taxi rides across 50 cities in 20 countries, and Elon Musk sure as hell hasn't colonized Mars (at least his stated ambition justifies a PE ratio in the hundreds: he's on record that he's trying to own a planet).

So I'd argue that Apple stock hasn't 2-3x increased in the last 2 years in any other way than dollar-denominated.

I'm the last person to try to sell you a cryptocurrency token, I don't give a shit what the price of ETH is. But just because Gamestonk or `ETH` is the lottery ticket available to people who don't know a guy who knows a guy who knows Ron Conway doesn't mean that going to school, working hard, and saving a quarter of every paycheck is going to get you anywhere in a casino economy where the CPI doesn't seem to move with the cost of healthcare or education or any of the shit that's really eating the working person alive (at least in the US).

`BTC` and `ETH` may turn out to be worthless tulip bulbs, it's not even all that unlikely from a Bayesian standpoint, but the pervasive implication that the `/r/crypto` people are at a casino and the A16Z people aren't is absurd. The A16Z people can just afford to lose a hand or two, and the `/r/crypto` people have nothing to lose.

Doesn't make em stupid.
Who cares that Starship is a SpaceX property. Focus on the capability - which no one else has - and the ends - Hubble sitting in a museum instead of burning up in the lithosphere. You want to dislike SpaceX then go ahead, I don’t think anyone here would strongly discourage you from exploring that. But I truly challenge you to find another more economical solution to bring Hubble home.

Since the final product is computer software: no, I don't think a secretary bears much resemblance.
Ask HN: Is inflation just the cost of government borrowing?
Given:

- ~Most of the Fed's balance sheet is government debt

- ~Most government debt is held by the Fed

- The Fed executes monetary policy by buying and selling (mostly) government debt; expansionary policy consists of buying Treasury debt, thereby raising its price / lowering yields; this effect seems more direct than the effect on the Federal funds rate

Mathematically, I'd expect:

Nominal Yields on Treasury debt = (future dollar value of debt) / (current dollar value of debt)

= ((future dollar value of debt) / (future value of debt, measured against basket of goods)) * (future value of debt, measured against basket of goods) / (current value of debt, measured against basket of goods )) * ((current value of debt, measured against basket of goods )/(current dollar value of debt))

= (future CPI) * (real yields on Treasury debt) / (current CPI)

Or, rearranging:

Inflation=(future CPI)/(current CPI)=(nominal yield on Treasury debt)/(real yield on Treasury debt)

In particular, I'd expect the "real" yield here to denote the "natural" yield you'd expect if the Fed was not buying debt for much more money.

So, the narrative becomes:

Government spends a lot of money, and market doesn't believe it's a good investment (in terms of effect on future taxable revenue base), therefore Treasury borrowing costs should go up; but Fed forces Treasury yields to stay around 0, so inflation goes up instead.

Does any of this make sense, or am I missing something obvious?

Is there a source that formulates the issue in this way?
Morels grow under a whole host of trees, some of them of very high commercial value, so I wouldn't bet on that.

What's more, one simple way of getting a bunch of morels to grow on a specific patch of land turns out to be setting it on fire, so growing them on a basement would even probably end up being a net positive.

I've always liked Apple's approach more. There are public APIs that are mostly guaranteed to work across system versions. Then there are private ones. You can reverse engineer them. You can use them in your apps. They might even do what you wanted. But you're on your own with them, as Apple rightfully considers itself free to break anything that isn't part of the public SDK.

Microsoft, on the other hand, sees that some app calls an undocumented internal function, or has a bug that causes it to misuse an API call that just happens to still work correctly, or even worse, hooks into a system library or something, and considers that now to be a part of the public SDK that is to be maintained and made compatible with everything that might use it, forever.
Why they go to this one specific company? what about tiktok? what about omegele? what about many other social networks. They should ask governments to regulate the field for everyone, not some specific company.

I also got my doubt about this "science", social sciences are not really sciences, a lot of the research in those fields is not replicated or just based on asking people questions rather than actually observing behaviour. I don't understand how they claim as if there is some scientific truth that we have to follow when it comes to those issues, in most cases it is more assumptions, loose correlations mixed with ideologies and politics.
