Yes. The premise of a state which is 'for' a specific group inherently employs segregation. I say subjugation because I think there is a version of that system that maintains a Jewish ruling majority without subjugating the minority.

Again, you can agree or disagree with a state that is built on segregation, but I ask that you include in your judgement the history and context of Israel's existence.

Ask HN: Help us solve API Terms of service warnings readability
Can we use this API safely in the long term is a difficult question to answer in the Digital world we live in. Most of the time, companies discover that their API access has been revoked when users complain their app does not work anymore.(Twitter story) Or sometime breaking change occurs without notice (remember Facebook APIs?). Sometimes it is the pricing options or other clauses that actually can break your app (remember Google Maps Pricing change?) because you did not read in depth the API Terms of service, so you did not prepare.

We intend to build a framework making API Terms of service easily shareable and understandable, under the form of a creative commons pattern composed by siple logos and warnings. Feedback welcome!
I wonder if many of the problems with automatic driving could be solved using platooning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpuwG4A56r0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Re__KRr4NU).

There could be dedicated lanes assigned to the autonomous cars and platooning-protocols that ensure that the cars use their automatic capabilities only on relatively safe highways, only queued between other autonomic vehicles.

What is with the weird Nazi purity thinking when it comes to "code generated by those C++ projects" ? You know Linux is built with GCC today right?

Also - as I am pretty sure I explained to you before - Rust's standard libraries are arranged in a stack, the Rust for Linux project uses the ordinary core library (which implements a variety of useful stuff including core::iter::Iterator and core::option::Option) and provides its own alloc (a library for the allocator and the features that depend on it, such as alloc::boxed::Box but with explicit allocation and Error returns) however the rest of std is not supplied, Rust for Linux does supply kernel, which is full of kernel-specific stuff like kernel::random::getrandom

This is a much clearer division than is provided in the C++ Standard Library.

It's more likely governments will make it illegal to not use an adblocker. For example the security community is now having adblock installed on normie browsers as a matter of policy.

Sure, but these are the arguments used to justify a Western nation not being able to exist in the Middle East because of having too inclusive values.

What I'm looking for is an argument of why the two probabilities that I mentioned are small enough so that persecution is not a concern. If persecution is a concern, why should Israel care about being inconsistent? Being inconsistent in how Israel displays itself would then be at the back of the line of their concerns.
Tangentially, Carl Sagan wrote a column (one of the earliest?) identifying asteroid defense as an existential risk:

Alternatively, I'd like a software product that makes it a snap to run programs on cloud provider but bridged/tunneled as if they were running on my local lan. I want it to support multicast dns and all of that stuff for things like sonos, zigby, chromecast, airplay, etc.

2nd this. In addition, it's easy to obtain the service manuals for the older Leaf models (up to around 2018). The design of the Leaf is very similar to other Nissan vehicles, so working on the car's non-drivetrain components is easy. The electric drivetrain itself has proven to be very reliable so far.

Bullshit? To me it seems more like mind rape when a bunch of corporate ideas and brands are suddenly and forcibly injected into my mind. I didn't ask for it, I didn't consent to it. We don't tolerate it when people violate our bodies, so why is it okay to violate our minds? They "need" it to make money, so it's okay?

If I want to see products, I'll ask for it. I'll open the store app. Until that time, they better keep their marketing to themselves or I'll do everything in my power to defend myself. That's what software like uBlock Origin is: self-defense against hostile megacorporations who want to exploit you in every way possible.

Code optimization tool
Would it be possible to develop a program that could optimize algorithms, detect design patterns and then rewrite the code?
It could propose various optimization strategies and the programmer would decide whether to apply them, for example:

Detect a Bubble sort and transform it into a Quick sort or a Merge sort
Replace unnecessary repetitions of instances of a class into a Singleton
Refactor similar functions into a more generic one that accepts parameters

This tool could be applicable to the sources of any programming language through configuration files containing the various rules such as grammar

I'm sure there's some validity to this from an anthropological/linguistic standpoint (I'm a big fan of "sounds prescriptivist but ok").

But look at your own comment:

> Context is important. If you are writing, say, an academic paper that you want to publish at a particular venue, then you are expected to adhere to the grammatical conventions of that venue.

This is a technical blog post addressing a technical audience. In fact the sentence in question is explaining a technical concept. Therefore the (unwritten?) rules of technical writing apply.

So it's inappropriate here to give lection on linguistic relativism.

For the purposes of the article, its audience, and the particular sentence in question, this is poor grammar.

Simple: ruble conversion to USD or EUR is extremely limited; iirc only $10k can be withdrawn from dollar denominated accounts, currency exchange is largely restricted for business and individuals, the stock market remains closed, large businesses have been forced to sell foreign currency reserves, the Kremlin plans on repaying foreign debts in rubles only (ie technical default).

The hope is that the west unfreezes its Central Bank reserves, meanwhile they are buying time.

> they could have veto'ed the resolution

Have you read the UNSC resolution? The UNSC resolution did not call for invasion of Libya. Read it if you haven't. The main point of the UNSC resolution was establishing a no-fly zone to prevent Gaddafi from using Libyan Air Force to bomb rebels and for protection of civilians. It did not order NATO to invade. Rather, NATO used the UNSC resolution as an excuse to invade. So don't blame the UNSC for this (though UNSC is to be blamed for other things: including wording the resolution vaguely/poorly that it allowed for this loophole for NATO intervention).

> concern-trolling throwaway accounts

I am not concern-trolling. I just gave my perspective/opinion. The primary reason for creating a throwaway account is because of it inevitably ending up with being labelled as a "Russian Propagandist" or a "Troll". The "Free-world" has lost appetite for debate with everything that is not mainstream being cancelled/dismissed. Which is sad unfortunately.
I have not had a chance to test this yet, but apparently setting your locale to en-CA (rather than en-US) solves the problem, since Google no longer assumes you're using default language settings.

It's being built up a bit at a time and some of the older more mature libraries have been or are being put into it.
I didn’t grow up in America so this might be different there, but I remember news from my early adult years and they were indeed badly biased. In the past 10 years, two things have changed however, the state media got more powerful and hired a bunch of qualified people, and—more importantly—independent media has proliferated. The media landscape of today is unrecognizable. Accountability hardly existed in the past, but now it does. You can see this by simply comparing the behavior of older politicians who were used to get away with everything and still continue their corrupt behavior, which today they are exposed doing all the time.

If anything—at least where I’m from—the news is still biases (always has been) but this bias which used to favor the rich and the powerful, has radically shifted to favor ordinary people. The news of the past that I remembered were actively—and probably knowingly—biased in favor of their stakeholders. Today they don’t, or at least not nearly to the same degree.
We will. For consumers like you there will be a $100k option to increase safety by adding sensors/compute power or something else on top of a base model. But the ultimate game here is to free people from the need to drive cars for a living or pay someone to do so. This will also open a lot of other optimisations to human life, which exist now due to cost of human labor. If human stays in the car - this mission is failed.

It's not like if you are the most careful driver you are safe - if a drunk no-licensed jerk aims for your car - you are dead due to his lack of driving ability, not yours.
Even Hitler (the worst Dictator in recent history) pales in comparison to how many countries the West has bombed and destroyed. Millions dying. Millions more homeless. Millions moving from one country to the next as refugees. All this happened post World War 2, in relative "peace time".

Churchill is not a false analogy. He actually was responsible, single handedly, for the Bengal Famine of 1943 which killed 3 million Bengalis.

USA has invaded 84 countries. I would like you to give me one Dictator who has invaded as many countries as USA alone has. Just one will do. That will really put things into perspective.

Not really. Imagine a restaurant which says, hey, here's this sample, it's free if you watch an ad while you eat. And then you eat, and specifically don't watch the ad. That's not just smelling the cooking, just like how reading an article is incurs traffic on a website, which the provider has to pay for somehow. Not to mention the procurement of the article.
Thank you so much for sharing these feedback and I appreciate the insight.

I'm curious how much time you have spent on Yahoo Finance or Google Finance, almost everyone who uses those tools for over a day finds Stock Unlock and usually ends up subscribing since we are just worlds away from what they offer. We are totally free to try/you can even type in a fake email, so I'd be curious to hear more of your thoughts after you try out our tool.

I am not here to brag about numbers, but our growth/number subscribers backs up our own angst/annoyances we had as founders that every single tool out there today whether it's free or paid cannot do simple things like: "Show me Google/Apple/MSFT revenue for last 20 years graphed together, okay now lets throw price to sales in there", you can do this on our platform in 60s in the free form tool.

Further, for anyone that spends a lot of time investing/analyzing companies, YF and Google Finance just don't cut it. We are gaining subscribers daily that are leaving those platforms since they believe (and our telling us) how much value they are getting from our platform, at a price that is lower than anyone else (we care about our users free cash flow)

I really don't mean to come out here and sell, but I believe if you used our tool you would see/feel that we are not the same as the sites you quoted.

Again/to reiterate, your opinion is appreciated and thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts :)

"Russia passes law denying naturalization to Ukranian spouses"
This is my pet peeve. You don't have a quick question. If you did, you'd just ask it. By asking to ask, you've doubled my required response effort.

Please just ask questions. Pinging someone about a mysterious question that you'll reveal later is annoying. It certainly doesn't go on my list of things to do re: "Sometime later this sprint be sure to get back to that person who won't tell me what they want from me". It goes on the list "Ignore this person"

The only reason we need to point to N-1 is to get access to its next pointer for doing deletes (in my case where I never scan the list backwards). So rather than point to N-1 it suffices to point directly at its next pointer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm shocked as well, I just think that's not enough, you have to at least be able to justify why the two probabilities that I mentioned before are small, which in my opinion, is a hard thing to do.
> A company choosing not to do business with someone seems to be a much strong free speech claim in my opinion.

If my business chooses to not do business with "those people", you're okay? Or, does it depend on which "those people"?

Note that current US law says that businesses can't refuse to do business"those people" for certain definitions of "those people."
I just mentioned the S&P500 as an example of a filter. S&P500 is what SPY consists of.

Also, filter != technical analysis. Filters can work on any indicator. I use them on fundamentals, as do Buffet, Munger, Graham, Dodd.
I am not defending Gaddafi. He was a brutal dictator. No doubt about it. I am just exposing hypocrisy of the "Free World" which I am a part of as well. I am just saying that there was already a Civil War being waged within Libya to oust Gaddafi. He would have been ousted anyways by the people. There was no need to do an invasion, by breaking all rules.

Ultimately, in the International Arena, Countries represent themselves. It doesn't matter if they are Dictatorships, Theocracies, Democracies etc. The nature of a Country is not important at all. All Countries adhere to a set of International Standards/Conventions/Charters. The "Free-World" wants to differentiate itself from the rest by "claiming" that it follows the rules. Yet, the facts state otherwise. 84 countries were invaded by the "Free-World". 84 out of 193 countries. USA has fought with 43% of the World. This is just too many countries to even consider it as an exception.

You can give a lot of justifications for why each invasion took place (you can even justify invading the 11th smallest country in the World: Grenada) but then you shouldn't frown when Putin gives his justifications too. I am just showing the mirror to the "Free-World" and hoping it starts to act on TRULY differentiating itself from the Totalitarian dictatorships. To show that it TRULY follows the rules. Just saying it "follows the rules" won't cut it anymore in this day and age.
