I work in sales and saw a Greek salesperson kick a deal out that cost him thousands because he didnt want to spend another few hours with someone that was Turkish. And this is in California. The easy money didn't matter to him. If someone is willing to lose thousands of dollars to feel good, imagine what little things theyre willing to do that dont really have a cost to them.

Russians do not give a fuck. Their military is out there communicating all their messages by radio on open channels. The Ukrainians are listening and that’s why they’re doing well on the defensive. All the NSA geeks with their cryptography breaking quantum computers have nothing to contribute.
You can install syncthing on it. Problem solved.

Not really, in my opinion. Animal Crossing pocket. Mobile Mario Kart.

Even Animal Crossing on the switch gated its expansion behind the new, expensive subscription.
Thats because many trading firms have a handful of key algorithms that took a lot of time and money to develop the first time, but that could be re-implemented with not much effort at a new employer.

This applies to pretty much any valuable information that fits in one person's head.

there are benefits of writing in the text files and still people keep going to these shiny editors/systems. Why?

Keeping the excitement of using these things aside, they do make things easier. After using backlinks now, I don't think I can go back.

I like how easily I can publish Notion docs.

I like how I can use mems[1]-- they have reduced the conginitive load of writing in a sublime doc.

So, maybe we should try to find a solution which gives all the benefits of these "innovation" happening in this domain-- I say innovation with a quote cause I know how gimmicky they could look as most of them are but some of the features are actually part of the evolution.

logseq, obsidian are the steps in that direction.

I wish all these companies start addressing these issues. And in general we start having the culture of "bring your own storage" i.e get all your data in usable way. Not some text/json files which need specific programs to get anything useful out of that. A graceful exportation should be the primary feature.

ExxonMobil to discontinue operations at Sakhalin-1, no new investments in Russia

As with racism, casteism does exist among people with lower economic, intellectual or competency trying to compensate.
I know I might be oversimplifying this. But you can legally change your last name. But you cannot change your race. Unless, your phenotype is somewhat ambiguous and can pass as a person of the majority racial group. But that is rare. By conflating casteism with racism, you're diluting the meaning of what racism is and systemic effects it has had on minorities in the United States.

By the way I'm a person of Indian ancestry born and raised in the U.S. According to my grandparents, we're of lower caste as well. But no one has ever asked me what my caste is simply based on my last name. I'm not denying that casteism isn't a problem within the Indian diaspora. But it is entirely different societal problem within the United States compared to racism. In India , it might be similar to racism. But not the same in the U.S.

Let me put it this way - a person who hates all minorities or specific ethnic groups, isn't going to care what caste you belong into. He's going to hate you and the higher caste Indian person equally.
Citation needed. You sound like you've consumed a bit too much western propaganda. We should be smarter than this here.
This is excessively hostile towards a relatively small field in physics. Yup, lots of people have criticisms of string theory and related theories, but the implications that this is all that physics has been doing in that area is very false. Lots of people work on lots of other things and they’ve continually made decent progress, just not the explosive progress which happened at the beginning of quantum physics.

This emotional attachment to certain fields is very unscientific and not at all helpful.
That's certainly another possibility :)

> I'm actually not that interested in deeply analyzing the part I enjoy most (getting the daily in 3).

I think I'm similar; I've been using the same starter word since almost day 1, and despite having seen lots of very compelling evidence that it is suboptimal, I have not changed it :D

But I'm still somehow interested in what is optimal (& I guess oddly passionate about the definition of optimality).
As with many other one-off cases in this & other threads, one instance does not a rule make.

Just because your experience was fairly positive, that does not negate the general trend of such occurrences in hiring decisions among such pairs ( Greek-Turk, Indian-Pakistani, Japanese-Korean, Japanese-Chinese, Russian-Polish, Serb-Bosniak, Serb-Croat French-Algerian and countless other pairs in the Middle East & other parts of the world )

Theres surely some information that can be gleaned from anecdotes & oral histories. But we need data & objective studies to back them up if we are to make any progress on these issues.
I think most folks would run away screaming from a codebase that did and did not check session data. Hopefully any company that does this has a lot of money set aside for bug bounties.
So what percentage of people do you think are "passing"?

yes that is clearly recognized by use of the word 'anecdotally'. the key takeaway from my comment should be the fact that this incident is considered to have enough of a 'signal' to be considered a conversation topic.

Ask HN: Has Gmail stopped working for you with uBlock Origin on Chrome?
Noticed since a couple of days ago that my Gmail and Google Workspace emails weren't loading on Chrome while they continue to work on Firefox.

And then I realised today that when I turn off uBlock origin on Chrome, then my emails start loading again on Gmail.

Is this happening to others? Is Google actively trying to kill all adblockers in Chrome this way?
Some of the AAA publishers overextended themselves; I think they inadvertently got into the cathedral-building business and then realized they can't build a $70-per-serving cathedral every three years without abusing their employees or making some kind of quality compromise. It's been a decade since Skyrim was released, for example, and a little less since GTA V, and the microtransaction model seems to be their strategy for filling in the gaps.

Hi, I'm Scott, and I am a generalist, self-taught full stack engineer who's been in Japan for 15 years and can speak, read, and write Japanese fluently. Although I have severe hearing loss, we can absolutely address that with some basic accommodations.

I'm currently the principal engineer at a small, fast-paced startup in Tokyo, where I've been leading a small team in developing a product to provide temperature measuring and alerting services to over 2,000 clients across the country in the food service, hospitality, and medical industries. I work with a Python/Django/PostgreSQL stack on ec2, but I'm also flexible and very willing to learn.

I enjoy not only the engineering side of my job, but also mentoring and growing my team members. I consider myself good at communication -- a good portion of my work involves collaborating with support, sales, and our CEO. My background also includes education, support, and sales.
I have all the associated equipment for every US-based CBRS project.

It all functions. My phone roams onto it, the eSIM / physical SIM works. The blockchain and various business agreements need to catch up for the dream to be realized.

If that is your impression, then I suggest you test your hypothesis. Go talk to these physicists and explain your concerns. Many are approachable and responsive.
Yeah this was obvious 10 years ago with the rise of mobile gaming. The only difference between mobile gaming and other forms is that the payment infrastructure was so easily accessible and seamless integrated.

But 10+ years ago we had Farmville and then on mobile we had thing slike Candy Crush, Clash of Clans and so on.

These aren't games. They're A/B tested addiction loops optimized to extract as much money from you as possible.

You can see the impact of this on World of Warcraft, which is >17 years old at this point. In its original form it had traditional RPG game loops. Over the years it has become increasingly dominatded by "micro-transactions". These includes services like character transfers, boosts, racce changes and name changes. It also includes a bunch of cosmetics.

Some people are most OK with cosmetics for monetization but this still has a problem. It creates an incentive for the game designers to make paid cosmetics better than in-game cosmetics to encourage you to buy them. You see this in WoW where in-game mounts sometimes look like they're made of 7 triangles while store mounts are rendered in semi-translucent 3D with particle effects, modern textures, large triangle counts and special moves. More importantly though cosmetics matter. The ability to flex through cosmetics is a huge motivator to players. The fact that someone can swipe a credit card and devalue in-game accomplishments really destroys any incentives to work towards in-game goals.

Outside of FPS games there are depressingly few actual games out there (as opposed to addiction pay-to-win treadmills). I like computer adaptations of board games for this reason because at least these games tend to stay true to being "games".
Functional purity? `for` can only have side effects. It has no functional purity. It doesn't even have a value.
Depends on what you’re working on and how that’s going. It’s easy to imagine shifting between completely different forks/branches with a ton of dependencies where you’d want to clean build. Or when you go to submit work you make sure unit tests run from scratch, etc.
The trading center of the world is NYC and/or Greenwich, CT if you want to be cheeky about it. If the NYSE was in SF, you'd see a lot more trading firms there. Fintech is largely not in cali, as well.

> Do you also hold that against all the Germans when they started both World War 1,

You are misinformed: They didn't.

> and World War 2?

Germany was collectivel de-Nazified after that, so yes: That obviously was held against all Germans at the time.

> Would you let Russians also get away with it, if they say they are sorry and have changed?

So, no. Why should they get away with it so easily when the Germans didn't?

Well, technically you could have realized the ambiguity in this case, and guessed a word like RAZED to clear it up.
I think a more apt analogy would be saying you are a grand master in chess but can't explain the rules for how to move a rook.
How Taliban's Afghanistan and Syrian clusterfuck doing is precisely the right question. UKR "winning" = potentially decades as a collapsed state, which RU would rather have than UKR embracing west / replacing RU as gas station of EU. And with respect to RU and NATO / west EU, we're early days and have not seen RU responding to EU economic warfare and direct military support. RU unable to respond in kind doesnt mean they won't do so proportionally in other realms like cyber that makes EU lose proportionally less than RU but in aggregate more. Things can get a lot uglier for everyone now that bottom is out, I think we're on verge of entering territory of total non-kinetic warfare.
well this is what Putin is gambling on - that he is willing to go closer to the nuclear brink and thus will win. That was true a month ago, I'm not sure its true today.

Wars are not decided based on pure logic - we are somewhat intelligent apes, we will risk it all to defend our tribe - particularly if we feel the aggression is unfair and unjustified.

A related question is: "What is the smallest fixed set of guesses which always solve Wordle, narrowing down possible hidden words to just one?". So far the answer is 8: MODEL LEVIN TAPPA GRABS DURGY FLYTE CHAWK SPOOR [1].

Bringing this down to 5 would mean that one could always win at Wordle with the same set of 5 guesses. Seems unlikely that such a solution exists, but interesting question nonetheless.

I don't think what the EU and US are doing in Ukraine can be termed appeasement. Punishing sanctions, rumblings of NATO and EU expansions, open and extensive weapons transfers, and full-throated support of the Ukrainian government is hardly what we did in Czechoslovakia.

The "we will go to open war with you" line is the borders of NATO and the EU, which haven't currently been violated. It's not an unreasonable line to draw, given the potential consequences of nuclear armed states doing battle.

Affirmative action is already very controversial in the United States and is probably couple of supreme court cases away from being gutted. At least in academia. There isn't going be any action for a group of people that represents less than 2% of the total U.S population. If anything, this is probably an issue for states to decide. You'd need a sizable lobby to influence such an action.
Having children is such a crap shoot. Cerebral palsy is one of those conditions where you don't seem to get any warning that it's going to happen and if it's severe enough, your life is now round-the-clock care for someone who will die incredibly young (but still take years, usually), never be able to live independently and arguably has no quality-of-life at all.

And that becomes your life.

At least the Nadyellas are fortunate enough such that they have the means for this to have not been a totally consuming. This is of course a tragedy still. This is a burden they've had for years. My condolences. Truly.

It's so tragic that some people can just be born with horrible disabilities where they or their carers can never again have a normal life.
When a product originates from China, it must be full of spyware. Let's don't even question whether that's true or even reasonable. Then imagine one day, China's scientists invented a new semiconductor, a new material to make chip, or a new technological product that's order of magnitude better than everything out there.

My question: are you going to avoid it like the plague; don't buy anything made of it, which may be in a lot of the things you touch. Btw, that's not very far-fetched, judging from the number of breakthrough research coming out of that country.
"have never heard of the caste based discrimination until that cisco case"

I didn't hear of it either until I noticed large groups of Indian-origin devs and managers (mostly at older companies such as IBM, Oracle, etc), and somehow only the 'upper caste' folks would get promoted and be invited to happy hours and such. How much that can be attributed to inter-personal relationships and professional competence as opposed to outright discrimination, one will never know but a pattern does emerge. It's never in your face discrimination, just subtle favoritism towards one's group.

Mind you, this happens with people from the same Indian state as well. They'll often speak in their regional language during meetings even though not everyone speaks that language, which simply goes on to alienate that team member. (This has happened to friends of mine at T-Mobile and Intel)

"marriage sites have done more to break cast barriers in india"

Not sure if I agree with you there. It has brought to light just how prevalent that kind of thinking is. It's a common trope on Indian matrimonial websites how users have a list of requirements (Looking for fair skinned, Hindu upper caste, etc). Maybe that has helped break cast barriers by bringing it to light, I don't know, but it was really surprising when I came upon it for the first time.
I hate when people call it a “crisis” . Science has brought us amazing insights and capabilities. It's not in a crisis. They will simply have to shift gears and work on other projects if they have dug as far as they can for now with today's technology and mathematics. There is still plenty to spend human brain power on and physicists have plenty of new places to go to.
I made it to 29 without any deaths close to me ( great aunts died that I didn't really know) and my close family felt secure, maybe even somehow we were special somehow, but then my dad died at 59 of a heart attack (in a palace in Paris at a conference on temperature standards of all places). Was a shock. Now I'm 50, most of the older generation of my family are dead. I think I have handled death quite well so far, but I know others who still struggle decades later. However, I'm really not sure how well I'd handle one of my kids dying.
I 100% would.

I doubt I would be fighting as infantry though so there's that for sure.

The world would have to be in way big shit for the us mil calling up 30+ year olds, even though I'm in pretty great shape (i'm short though).

Do non-submunition warheads separate from the rocket in the air? Because rockets are 3m long, and I don't think they'd just disappear after the warhead explosion. In other videos you could see rocket bodies sticking from the pavement after impact, etc.

Anyway, I guess you're right. Even if this was edge of the killing field with a mix of submunitions from various rockets fired at different times, there's be a lot of noise in the video from the other submunitions hitting nearby.
"The Ukraine" is an area. It's the land between Russia and the rest of Europe (it literally translates to "borderland.") The country of Ukraine was named after it. Furthermore: The Article is added when territories become disputed, which is the case here (although it's odd that the groups pushing for its use most often are the ones insisting that Russia is in the wrong by creating the situation.)

As to the IM apps: they're all crap. Everything on smartphones is there either to tie you to a corporation, sell you something, or sell you to something. XMPP has E2EE (the same way signal does), push, carbons ("message backups") etc but no one uses it because it lacks the PR that these larger apps with companies behind them have.

That doesn't make sense. If that were true, there would be one trading firm in California that only existed to hire traders from other firms and copy results.
While the security of centralized messaging is potentially an issue, one thing I don't think we've got a global consensus on tech-wise is point-to-point systems that will work with smartphones and no internet.

I know there's a number of approaches out there, but I haven't seen anyone solving the problem of doing offline-relay from device to device with the goal of getting the message out to a wider aggregator without internet access.
