I don't think this justifies his treatment, but the article starts off by essentially saying this man did nothing wrong and was forced into signing a confession without a lawyer present in a language he can't understand. It's not until you get more than a third of the way into the article that they point out he was convicted in a civil case brought by the same complainant in British courts of committing financial fraud against the Dubai bank.

His treatment is unacceptable, the sentence is outrageous (and counterproductive), but fundamentally this is why you don't get into business with and especially don't defraud petty dictators in unstable regions of the world. If this had been in his place of birth, he would have been murdered rather than imprisoned, and I imagine he should be well aware of this given his upbringing and career history.
Yes but SpaceX is moving on from it because it is not optimal. RocketLab is also moving on from it because its not optimal.

There is a different between 'can' and 'optimal'.
What if Apple literally seamlessly integrates all those platforms into a single messaging center? No ads, no apps.

Because this is the kind of thing the open API would enable.
Yes, many people are selectively deaf to the phrase "combined with a sensible diet" when it comes to weight loss, or other health advice. I'd venture that it's subconscious desires to keep the food intake that invoke mental filters to just not hear that part; or, to rationalize that your food intake is ok.
Pair programming is quite intensive when done correctly. You build stamina with time. But even so, using the Pomodoro technique is the way forward. Someone driving for 20/25 minutes, then 5/10 rest, and switch the driver.

Even so, I will still not do it 8 hours a day. Probably 6, to give you time to do other stuff, like investigations, admin, ...
I looked it up and the apache manual apparently recommends HTTP basic over SSL instead of Digest these days since apparently the extra protection isn't considered as worth it relative to just HTTPS-ing the connection.

Inflation is not related to greed, regardless if you want to say that astrology influences your lottery results. So no. You can be frustrated about it all you like. Good luck with that.
I've had so many Gen Z interns that I've noticed they dont care about being fired from a job right out of College. Little Drive to keep themselves busy. They don't like to ask questions, and would rather do something wrong than ask and do it right the first time. Even If I show them how to do it right the first time, if you forget, just ask.

There isn't much of a ladder to climb as Millennials are still there to fill the void. Millennials have work experience and work hard.

But there is a notable gap and a Gen Zer is easy to pick from the crowd.

Not all are bad though. In fact many didn't have to struggle like a Millennial did early in life. My first 5 years in the work force was slow moving up the ladder. Entering the workforce in 2008 was not pretty for me.

Problem with GenZ is they didn't eat the flintstone vitamins we Millennial ate, and it shows.
The societal/behavioral changes are interesting, but what about the physiological changes?

The point is that all electricity used mining cryptos could be better used elsewhere, regardless of where that electricity comes from. Cryptos need to move off of wasteful consensus algos.

Not necessarily. Strictly speaking, the E2E part is being added via Google's network and isn't part of the spec. It's using the Signal protocol, which is just as open for Apple to use as it is for anyone else, but it doesn't inherently come with every RCS implementation.

No doubt. I've been to 114 countries out of ~200 and spent decades living in different parts of the world. My comment was about people crying "slavery" while not fully understanding what they are referring to, about people who call others "barbarians" because their laws are different from they got used to.
BSD people keep insisting on going back to fifteen years ago GNU/Linux on the desktop as if that was a great thing.

I miss being young, having lots of energy, being able to function on 4 hours of sleep and having all my life in front of me as much as the next person but you'll have to take systemd, networkmanager, docker/kubernetes and zfs off my cold, dead hands.
I think it is a smart idea all around, as long as they take into account the possibility of flooding, which may seem remote, but much of California's Central Valley valley used to flood, and it is still possible. I also worry about how robust they would be to wind storms.
I like the fact they are queuing like polite people.
Microsoft exists in an effective duopoly for desktop computing - the vast majority of desktop computers run Windows, and only a small fraction run MacOS, and an even tinier fraction run anything else.

That, combined with a host of other lock-in factors (the strong emotional attachments that people have to being a "PC person" and not a "Mac person", the relative expensiveness of devices that run MacOS, the software that only runs on Windows, the UX difference between platforms) put Windows in an entirely different class than password managers.

Password managers are a commodity. Operating systems are not. Microsoft knows this, and they abuse it accordingly.
Can you show me a representative sample of places where English speakers refer to [unit of energy] burned by exercise and mean anything else other than kilocalories while saying anything else other than calories?

No, you can't, you're showing hypercorrection and lack of fluency.
Career politicians use polarisation as a tool to get votes and as long as pocketing people as us vs them continue to be accepted in the societal system, it will just grow and be reinvented. Cancel culture and fake news, are just fuel for the fire..
I have to agree with berkut. I had to stop using a previous hn account because it was so incredibly frustrating when people would downvote me with no explanation. I would cite my comments with reputable sources but that never helped.

It was enough to prevent me from contributing to the discussion until recently.

Certain beliefs or opinions in the minority are not very well tolderated here. It's still certainly better than other sites, but from my perspective it is slowly sliding downwards.

If I do post, it likely would not be anything remotely controversial.
Apples to oranges.

LXC can be directly compared with a small, and quite insignificant, part of Docker: container runtime. Docker became popular not because it can run containers, many tools before Docker could do that (LXC included).

Docker became popular because it allows one to build, publish and then consume containers.

The security robots at one of the big skyscrapers down the street from me do not stop for people. My wife got knocked into by one when we were standing in the plaza looking up something on her phone. (They're not little delivery robots. They're about five feet tall.)

Good thing she was confused by what happened, because she's also the type who would have knocked the robot over and asked me to shove it into traffic if she had her wits about her.
Thanks for the laugh :) Now I’m going to try to put down my phone. Wish me luck!
I do! It was such an odd game to me at the time I played it because it didn't center around destroying things, at least not initially.

It's available at GoG btw though some things are best kept in your memory IMO, or there's just no time for games anymore.

They also don't really promote it as far as I can tell. I didn't find out about it until I was looking up some stuff about choco. It's terrible what they did to this guy. I know he shared his stuff as open source but still to string him along for over a year whilst also having a team working on what he had built and barely acknowledging it or helping him out in some way.

I thought zfs came from Solaris/FreeBSD

3) You're trying to capture the next generation of content consumers and creators.

So many of the most popular apps on the Quest 2 are just swarming with kids. I think this is intentional.
Ah, so. That would be an obvious improvement.
I disagree. HN is definitely less insane than Reddit these days, but it's not representative of what Web 1.0 was like and felt like.

Everyone here would do well to read and understand this essay by Jaron Lanier:

I also recommend people revisit archives of some high-quality web forums and websites like Geocities. There is a lot of revisionism going on in tech sector right now. Conveniently, it's nearly impossible to challenge in a space where a handful of people can disappear your posts by downvoting and a conversation stays "relevant" only for a few hours.

> But it sounds like bringing blood sugar up is a big part of managing T1D, so I'm just wondering why that would be the case for a diabetic but not for a non-diabetic.

If you think of insulin as moving the glucose out of your blood stream into a storage area, eg your liver, then, when a normal person's blood sugar goes low, their body stops producing insulin and at the same time dumps some glucose from storage (eg the liver) back into the blood stream.

But if I have injected some insulin, the insulin will still be working and I can't just tell it to stop. So even if my liver tries to help me by dumping glucose into my blood stream, the injected insulin will try to move it back! So it is harder and takes longer for my blood sugar to rise on its own.

Hence non-diabetics can increase their blood sugar levels when needed, but that is a lot harder for diabetics who are on medication.

The biggest problem that I find controlling my BS levels, is not overdosing, but dealing with the unexpected. For example, taking insulin before a meal and then dropping my dinner plate and then trying to find something similar that I can eat quickly or getting an important phone call and being interrupted before I get a chance to eat. Or maybe just getting stuck in traffic and missing a meal.

Keto/low carb diets seem to work better for non-insulin dependent diabetics who are producing some insulin, just not enough. I think most Type 1's would still need some (significant) amount of insulin even on a keto diet, so the hypo problem still exists.
At least incoming to USA, there is enough fuel in new machines to move them around a little. After unloading they can be parked and next stop should be fuel dispenser, unless you want to hand prime (a diesel).

I would agree if the problem was the robot standing still, shouting, “I'm lost; Will somebody, please take me to {address}?!” In this case, the issue is people who leave junk in the middle of the road. The same scenario could occur where someone tosses a plastic bag out of their window, and it becomes trapped in the robot's wheels.
I interpreted it as an artistic choice, since the outreach Twitter account is all German. It's different from the article's actual title though - which I thought was an anti-pattern for HN.
I am, these are in a separate directory that needs to be treated analogously. It's also pretty painless. Still, if you just want to save your ass, the DB is probably what one is after.
No, it's entirely fair. You just refuse to appreciate the dissonance between the country that lets you live a comfy life and actual evil that happens there on daily basis.

There was so much media coverage about human rights violations and slavery you'd have to put in a lot of effort to not see it.
Oh, only their middle child is easy. The oldest and the youngest are both handfuls.

At some point I'm going to ask her for details. Maybe their sessions are pretty quick, for instance.
After all the heated discussion here, I decided to make this into a plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/override-text...

It's pretty bare-bones and probably has some bugs (after all, I hacked it up in a few hours...) but it does what it says on the tin: it lets you set the text encoding for any webpage manually, just like the good ol' Encoding menu.
I don't want to carry around a collection of bits to have a fully equipped laptop. I want something compact that comes in one piece.
Parenting is hard, but if you ever find yourself in a situation where you are doing weird stuff because your kids completely disregard family rules, just stop. There are more fundamental issues that need to be addressed first, and your kids will almost certainly get around whatever you're trying to do anyway.
A catabolic state induced by caloric deficit will absolutely consume lean muscle mass regardless of the availability of fat reserves. Muscle stimulus (via weight training, for example) and sufficient dietary protein can prevent this. But if you're just dieting without specifically controlling this, you will lose muscle along with the fat.
Going to be a toxic mess when a EV battery pack cooks off in a cargo hold. Just a matter of time and circumstances.
As someone from an arab country i can say, this is true, sexual harassment is rampant and people see women more or less like an object than a human being.
When I see a lot of downvotes I usually ask myself "what do they know that I don't?" I would assume some portion of downvotes are due to a knowledge disparity. And if there's a lot of downvotes against my comment, then there's a chance I'm missing some key knowledge.
That may work on MacOS.

It ... doesn't work for any Linux desktop, most especially those using Focus Follows Mouse (certainly for strict, often for lazy) policy.

Though that's useful to know.
Singapore operates by the rule of law (except rare edge cases like politics, which are unlikely to concern visitors). You are not going to land in jail unless you commit a crime, some of which you may disagree with, but which are nevertheless made extremely clear to all (heavy fines and potential expulsion for not wearing masks, death penalty for dealing drugs, etc).
That was my first thought too. LTT has gotten really big and Linus now has the money to pay for top editors and he's been bantering with Dr. Cutress for a long time.

It's kinda sad to watch all the big name editorials I used to read as a teenager like Anandtech and Toms Hardware lost their spark and are withering away, and LTT is now becoming the tech review juggernaut.
> A fine doesn't help the person actually "inconvenienced" by the scooter(s). It just gives the city more money.

not immediately, (albeit towing would). but would solve the problem in the long run, which will eventualy help the person be inconvenienced less.

That's the definition of fascism. The fusion of corporate and state power to crush any dissent.
Yes, I have seen this many times in my career. Internal transfer has no pay rise and may require equally difficult interviews as external offer. Yet, leave for similar position at another firm is up 20%. And, managers are so "offended" that you are leaving (lack of loyalty). I always think internal transfer is for suckers, as an external transfer almost always means +20%. Bizarre.
From what I see from zoning reform advocates, many look at Japan as the solution, precisely because in most of japan, residential houses can go in most any zone. Meaning, an old warehouse could be torn down and replaced with SFH without any change in zoning, but theoretically, a gas station or strip mall can be built right next to those same houses.

You can replace an old warehouse in the USA with SFHs. The major difference is the area will have to be rezoned completely before construction starts and the public will get their chance to voice their opinions. This allows everyone to agree on what else may be built on this land before houses go up. Will it be mixed use? Residential only? Are multi-tenant buildings allowed?

Then there's the big issue of who controls zoning? Should it be at the state or local level? Both have their positives and negatives.
I just knock the things over and push them out of the way.

Start "putting them away" for the careless people. In dumpsters. Pretty soon the scooter companies will figure out a solution.
The company that owns these will know exactly where they are (or at least their last position); I don't believe they publish this data in the open, but they could be mandated to do so by local governments.

I wouldn't say there are any culture or gender wars going on.

I think, it's simply the patriarchy is crumbling. With virtually mandatory monogamy, women had to see where to get a mate after the "top 20%" were gone, now they simply share the "good ones", whatever that means.

The other side was obviously, the "bottom 80%" of men had to put in less effort, because they just had to wait for the women who didn't get "a good one". And now they wake up and nobody wants them anymore.

To me this is a temporary problem. Men will learn to adapt, and things will get to a less skewed distribution again.
I would pay for a kit to teach me how to make CRISPR kits. This is/was a thing for a while but the fad mostly died out after some of the creators were taking a lot of risks with themselves and others. I am not lactose intolerant but if I were I would expect the kit to be free since you can fix that without CRISPR.

For me personally I would love to have kits that gave me powerful yet temporary control over sirtuins, ampk, mtor, hgh production, angiogenesis, various enzyme metabolism especially around ascorbic acid to oxalate conversion.

For more serious issues that affect vision or other quality of life issues I could envision people paying a good deal of money if the kit producer could prove efficacy with empirical scientific data and independent third party studies. The kit producer would be under intense scrutiny given the questionable past of CRISPR kits. What type of background and resources would the kit producer have? Is this a home lab or a silent startup backed by an existing lab?
I wonder if it's possible to trigger archive.org to save the exact version that gets submitted and then link specifically to that, rather than earlier or later versions.

Chess seems like an odd addition there, would two people who are able to discuss strategy and reason about the next move be worse than one? For writing, workshopping jokes or scenes happens a lot doesn't it? Particularly with scripts.

When it comes to novels and art though, there's a focus on producing one persons imagined work, edited and helped by others. When it comes to programming, particularly in a company, there's a problem to solve.

Is it common in other fields of engineering to say that only one engineer can work on a problem at once?

> Individuals do these things all the time.

Individuals code alone all the time too. What I'm commenting on is the idea that programming together with someone is terrible.
One major limitation of LXC is that there is no way to easily self host images. Often the the official images for many distributions are buggy. For example, the official Ubuntu images seem to come with a raft of known issues.

Based on my limited interactions with it, I'd recommend staying away from LXC unless absolutely neccesary.

Local Arabs are definitely above White (and everybody else) in the race hierarchy. Expat Arabs, especially those not from the Gulf, may be lower.

This is clearly visible at eg Riyadh immigration, where there are three unposted but universally observed lines: Gulf Arabs in white thobes, professionals of all sorts, and manual laborers.
What about a naturalist tale that doesn't indulge in either sort of fetishism, the sort of fetishism that observes an artificial distinction drawn between "nature" and "development" and assumes uncritically that must be all there is? You've just inverted the sign, without noticing that the figures don't add up in the first place.

Like all life, we modify our environment in accord with our needs, and by itself there's no more harm in that than when beavers or wasps or crows or spiders or any other animals do it. The problem isn't that we're so good at improving our environment for ourselves, but that we suck so bad at avoiding damage to the ecologies we so modify. We can improve upon the latter without forswearing the former, which is good, because we might as well try to forswear breathing.
