Thing is, both are part of a larger state. I'm not supporting Putin's politics, but there is a very clear distinction between internal and foreign conflicts. US civil war and Chechnya secession wars are both of the former type, and in that regard they are very similar, and widespread slavery in Chechnya makes this comparison even more vivid.

As for "X good, Y bad", every conflict in history is rooted in different understanding of what's good and what's bad by different groups of people. For Georgia, Abhazian independence bad, for Russia, Dagestan independence bad, as they both claim soverenity over these respective territories. I don't understand why are you talking about it in such grandstanding fashion, it is not some groundbreaking news.

So no, you can't equate internal Chechnya wars with international conflicts like Crimea and Georgia. These are two very different conflicts with very different reasons.

Sorry, these are not answers for me as a user. When I browse the gemini space, I'm guaranteed to not be flooded with ads, harmful javascript, etcetra.

Show IH: A Cyber security remote job listing portal
Hi Everyone,
I'm Shazeb, and currently working as a penetration tester and I made this pwnremote Jobs website to help people find a remote job in cybersecurity.

Problem:
My current job is fully remote and, now I want to change the job, but I couldn't find any good platforms to find a proper remote job for the cybersecurity.

Solution:
So, I've created this website(https://pwnremote.com) because I’ve seen many people, including myself, Who want to apply for jobs for remote work, but there is no platform for cybersecurity jobs and also, if you google also, there are not many results. That is why now, I’ve created this dedicated place that is only focused on Cyber Security Jobs. We want to protect the internet from anywhere in the world.

Also, I know this is not a perfect website, but please be nice and give me a feedback, so i can learn and improve my website.

Thanks,
Shazeb

Hey geo people! I put together re:places after receiving an email reminder of the upcoming sunset of the amazing Algolia Places API, a service we use extensively @citizensGBR. re:places polyfills city searches (because that's what we needed) by intercepting calls to the Algolia API and responding via an in-memory db of around 41,000 locations. Everything is served via CDN and can also be run standalone.

I know there's a lot of people affected by the places shutdown. If anyone's in need of a city search and would like to try out re:places I'd be very happy for the feedback. Cheers from the city of Cairns :)
>A Gemini browser cabal where users have only a few choices and they are each controlled by corporations is unlikely.

This is the key point. It is like the idea that you don't need the fastest person to escape from a chasing bear, you only need to be faster than the slowest person.

A user on the conventional web, is the slowest person here. And thus the success of Gemini browser is dependent on the existence of the slower person, that is, a large number of users available for exploitation, on the regular web, so that the business will leave the Gemini users (and the likes) alone.

HN actually implements this idea by remaining minimal. But even this place got overrun by shills these days, which means such piecemeal strategies will not work. So it makes perfect sense to do all the way and use a different protocol altogether..
Can't say I recall anything dolphin-related in the film.

Supposedly the term originates in a UK prison sign N.O.N.C.E. used around the turn of the century, meaning "not on normal courtyard exercise".

"Obviously also a technical term used all the time in its technical sense with no problem."

Or sometimes not ... a blog I'm involved with recently had a WordPress server problem which caused commenters to receive a message like "Illegal operation: bad nonce". The readers are non technical and mostly British. Some had to be calmed down a bit!

Maybe it's an age thing? Everyone my age knows what nonce means but mostly because it was so amusingly satirized by Brass Eye in the late 90s at the height of a media induced paedophilia scare. Chris Morris got politicians and celebrities to say stupid stuff on camera by telling them it was for charity literally called Nonce Sense:

"Did you know that a child under the influence of a paedophile may smell like hammers? That's right - I'm talking Nonce Sense"

https://thesundae.net/2021/01/21/talking-nonce-sense-in-prai...

The program was a sensation at the time but probably only within a certain age group. I can't imagine that sort of satire would have appealed to older people.

Despite being called the "facebook law" it actually targets most online UGC sites.

The facebook part is redundant actually as the live-streaming of the recent ethnic-cleansing of sheikh jarrah was reason for an instagram ban already. Probably has something to do with one of the architects of Unit 8200 being on Facebook's Oversight Board for some reason.

It's semantically slightly different. In the case of diff3 if you remove everything but the base part, then you get exactly the base version, while in the case of zdiff3 you also get the prefix and suffix parts from the two branches that merge cleanly.

I guess the difference is subtle, especially that there can be other merges within the same file that merge cleanly in both cases.
> if some variable is only important at compile-time, the compiler doesn't have to look at it with very much scrutiny. That saves you a lot of time when typechecking

Right, but if some code is annotated with unrestricted multiplicity, but still not actually used anywhere in a function body, does this make compilation of that code slower than if that same code was annotated with zero multiplicity?
This is especially true for Macbooks also btw.

> "this is fucking awesome!" as toxic, even though they're actually quite positive

And this touches on the question of what we want to do. It might not be a negative sentiment, but it might still be offensive. On the other hand, there are no offensive words, and only "positive" sentences in many sarcastic utterances.

And there are a lot of sentences that can be perceived as insensitive, that are not meant as such. GCP Grey has a video on the words "Indian" vs "Native American", and apparently it's very complicated which word you can or should use.

Does this apply even for compile-time evaluation? I'm not sure of the specifics of how Idris does compile-time evaluation vs runtime evaluation.

Did those regulations pertain to this labor dispute? If not then I think this is a strawman.

It wasn't the government that gave that ruling. Since as
bewaretheirs says in their comment elsewhere that ruling was vacated it was not even any law made by government that you can blame.

> Want to know how much your procedure is going to cost before you're expected to pay for it? No, price discovery/transparency is not a thing.

And that intransparency is something mandated by government? I'm asking, I don't know, it surprises me from what I know from just following discussions. The government prevents hospitals and MDs from disclosing their prices?

I don't see anything in there that would actually reflect badly on YC itself. What is interesting though is the fact that Stripe raised money from all the major VC funds, either intentionally or unintentionally blocking investments by these firms into competitors. Kind of like the startup equivalent of consulting with every good divorce attorney in the town so your spouse can't hire them.
Skyscraper districts are typically office buildings, which make population density comparisons a bit misleading. From your example, Midtown Manhattan has few residential buildings vs office buildings, but it gets very packed during the day from commuters and population density numbers don't include any of that. (Manhattan as a whole doubles in population during the day; Midtown Manhattan grows at a much higher multiple.)

Depending on what your definition of "skyscraper" is, they do tend to either add density, increase average unit size, or both. Comparing apples to apples, NYC's densest 5-6 story residential neighborhoods (e.g. East Village) are less dense than the high-rise residential neighborhoods like Upper East Side and Upper West Side. And on top of that, I can tell you that apartments are larger on the UES and UWS.

This Wikipedia article conveniently compares city districts by density. You can see here that Yorkville (part of UES) is extremely dense compared to the densest districts in other cities like Paris, and much denser than community board 3 in Manhattan which is a very dense residential mid-rise neighborhood: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_city_districts_by_po...

Note also that Yorkville isn't even full of high-rises. Most of the side streets are mid-rise like east village. It gets the 50% extra density from consistent high-rises along the avenues, and a smattering of high-rises peppering the side streets.
Just try, my pretties, just try to understand how exception handling actually works without staring at a lot of assembly.
Literally all(?) smoke detectors do this.
dosing usually would be dialed-in to provide roughly identical autonomic effects (at least) and then graded increased doses. otherwise it would be a pointless study.

here is a very old one, but oral not i.v.: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4900434/

5mg/10mg amphetamine sulphate vs 300mg and 600mg of caffeine (all oral). The study scales ended up being skewed because one subject had paradoxical response and felt relaxed instead on amphetamines, lol.

If you have access to the full text, check out page 89: fig5 and fig6.

Volkow's lecture may have referenced multiple studies, I've heard that in the context of her lecture on various findings on psychostimulants. amphetamines and cocaine have been fairly repeatedly shown fairly consistent substitutes, so it may have been a study on amp vs caffeine.

She just loves to study and talk about cocaine for some reason, has literally a hundred+ papers on it.

What makes you think so? The OP is an example of the product working as intended.
I understand this thought process, but in my opinion it's the wrong way to think about software concepts. Understanding what a bridge is doesn't mean knowing how to build one, and in fact tying your understanding to a certain implementation of a bridge just limits your ideas about what is, in fact, an abstract concept.

We understood functions as "mappings" between objects for hundreds of years, and when programming came along it gave us new ways to think about functions, but being able to "make" a function in hardware/software doesn't actually change what a function is at its core.

There's a reason why computer science professors explain concepts at a high or abstract level and don't jump into implementation to help students understand them. It's because the concepts ARE the high-level meanings, and if you need to see an implementation then you're not really understanding the idea for what it is.

If an idea stays abstract in your mind, it gives you more flexibility with how you apply it and more ways to find use out of it. But it does take a mindset shift, and is an actual learned skill, to be able to see something as purely abstract and accept that how it's made doesn't matter.

Weird that you think this website is propaganda but timesofisrael is not. It’s clear that a law to grant Israeli court the ability to request removal of user content can be used to remove any speech that a government doesn’t like, which could be the right wingers when left is in power, left wingers when right is in power, or pro-Palestinian-rights focused content when really either of them is in power (feel free to disagree with this last one, but it’s not the point).

Yes, he actually explain that during tasting: when you smell white wine you start to be describing it by white wine vocabulary, when you smell red wine you start using those. The case of being skilled taster is being able to recognize when something is off.
your argument works only if russia actually wanted to invade these countries, for which there is zero evidence, esspecially at the time those countries joined nato. if anything, if you take your argument of threat from russia seriously, their security decreased.

on the other hand, russia was attacked multiple times by western european countries and lost millions of its citizens. i think their unease at an alliamce which you yourself say is hostile, is justified

A couple of talking points come to mind:

The linked blog post mentions October 2021, while in December 2021 AWS lowered pricing for CloudFront where the first terabyte out to internet is now completely free:

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/11/aws-price...

For larger use cases most cloud providers have custom or private pricing options available. For example in CloudFront pricing page AWS publicly states that "Custom discounted pricing is available for customers willing to commit to a minimum of 10 TB of data transfer per month for 12 months or longer."

I have noted that most of the blog posts like the one linked above talk about migrating workloads around for savings of tens or hundreds of dollars while focusing on low level IaaS (VMs), and completely ignore the benefits of leveraging cloud services, APIs and related software ecosystems instead of DIY.
If you have difficultly with certain subjects then you're probably better off avoiding them altogether on HN. This kind of posting contributes nothing -- it also goes against the rules and just makes the place hostile https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
This is common and standard practice. It's quite possible that an alarm positioned at the other end of a house, with several closed doors in between, could easily fail to wake someone up. The goal is then to ensure that if one alarm triggers, they will all do so. Since they'll already likely be connected to the same electrical circuit anyway, this usually takes the form (in the UK at least) of a third core that connects the alarms together – and is a very simple system.

I won't speak to the "online" nature of any detectors, but I would expect standards mandate that they function fully and independently by design regardless of connectivity.
