Unfortunately when more than one group of people claim rights over a territory the only fair outcome is the one that comes after one of the groups compels the others to comply, usually though killing citizens capable to fight. The rights of the current occupants is always expected to be respected, i.e. when Armenia occupies part of Azerbaijan and vice versa it is expected that the locals keep their belongings. When this is not respected, we talk about war crimes and atrocities.

In the case of Armenia vs Azerbaijan, this time around the Azerbaijan came victorious. On the previous war it was the Armenia.

Anyway, I agree that people should have a right for self determination but unfortunately in the age of countries they will need to fight and win. Unfortunately, with the war technology we have this means huge tragedies.

Oh and the comparison with Ukraine is not nonsensical at all, the regions under Russian invasion are Russian-dominated places that declared independence from Ukraine almost a decade ago. The only new development is that those people finally have a state actor on their side. Why wouldn't you say that the Russians in Ukraine have the exact same self determination rights as the Armenians in Azerbaijan?

Winging it with stripe is fine to get started quickly, but once you have a couple of customers switch to a Merchant of Record like Paddle.

On your end they work much like stripe: you get credit card input html and an api. But legally they are a reseller of your software so they handle all tax collection and payment, invoice formatting, plus some legal issues. In exchange they take a bigger cut than stripe, like 5%.

Yes, you're very pwned if somebody has access to your email account. But less pwned than if they can also access all your other accounts directly at the same time =)

Of course, combining email-based login with another factor makes it more secure again, I was just talking about one factor.
Be careful, the propaganda is on both sides.

The antibodies of the vaccines don't work anymore. That's the opposite of "It seems like that’s unlikely because the vaccine worked so well". Antibody effectiveness against omnicron is negligible a few months after vaccination. As far as I understand the T-cells are still being trained, which might prevent you going to a hospital. But for the first week, you are totally on your own.
You can as I do at the same time think that the war in Ukraine is a scandalous act for which Russia is to blame and that NATO policies since the fall of the Berlin Wall have been poorly thought out and mostly detrimental to security in Europe. It’s not an either or.

In the same way, I believe that Russia should bear the long term consequences of the war but that the constant delivery of advanced weapons without pushing Ukraine and Russia to negotiate ending the conflict is mostly a cynical geopolitical play allowing the USA to weaken one of his opponent at the expense of foreign lives.

The world is not black and white and standing on the side which seems morally right doesn’t mean you are not exposed yourself to propaganda.
Not everyone works on small codebases. Encouraging refactoring is a good thing.
Based on what I've read from RFC8620, their approach is quite smart. It's basically turning email protocol into a set of HTTP RPCs, thus shifts all the transport-related technical problems away.

The downside is that, JSON codes creates redundancy, sometime the redundancy is bigger than the meaningful data itself. But on the other side, you can now host an email server behind a web CDN. I like the development overall.

Well, there's a paper from 2020 that suggests that people with aphantasia are more likely to be working in a scientific or mathematical occupation: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2020.04.003

Anecdotally, one can also search for engineer on the aphantasia subreddit to find many threads with engineers chiming in.
All great points and I agree.

What's different about this generation (esp in the UK where I live) is that they're becoming reasonably asset rich but they feel poor day to day. This is because they spend a lot of their income on mortgage payments (much of which is equity) and they're auto enrolled into pretty decent pensions which also is a building asset (but not one that they 'feel').

Getting things you can certainly afford on credit (which may be the right decision given low rates plus high inflation) compounds the problem.

You're going to buy a car for 40k after a year of saving. You spend 11 months looking at a big number building up in your account thinking 'hey I'm rich' or you spend 12 months with 'no money in your account' feeling poor. But the outcome is the same. Cheap credit creates many situations where credit is better than cash - so will make the feeling of 'no money' worse.
Show HN: BotDeploy – A Telegram, Slack or Discord bot on AWS in one click
Yes! I’ve had the same experience with spaced-repetition. I’ve used Memrise.com to learn a large set of Korean vocab words.

I’ve found it’s improved my general recall ability, not just for things I’ve scheduled into a spaced-repetition program.

It’s like the program trains my brain on how to recall things, and then I can use that skill on anything.

I’ve also found that if I slack off my training schedule, my general recall ability gets worse too.

Also, alcohol for sure impacts my memory. I find even one drink will make it harder to recall things

Hi, founder of BotDeploy (By Digger) here. While interacting with the developers on HN, we figured that a lot of engineers were building bots on Slack, Discord and Telegram. However, on digging deeper, we found out that engineers were spending days on end figuring out infrastructure and deployment.

We went back to the drawing board and built BotDeploy to help engineers deploy their bot to AWS in three simple steps.

1. Select from Slack, Discord or Telegram
2. Login with GitHub
3. Deploy to AWS!

We genuinely believe that we have cut build time from days to minutes, and would be super grateful for feedback from the HN community.

Yes, you can use smartcards with S/MIME.

You, you can use smartcards with OpenPGP, if you configure Thunderbird for optional GnuPG support. This way Thunderbird can use your secret key that is managed by GnuPG, for secret key operations, including keys on smartcards.

How to do that is documented here:

Lilienthal himself didn't, as far as I know, address your precise argument (the water strider bug scaling issue). But your comment reminded me of this snippet from his 1889 book:

The bodies of flying creatures are not so materially lighter than those of other animals, as to justify us in considering this difference in weight an essential condition of flight. It is often asserted that the hollow bones of birds facilitate their flight, especially since the hollows are filled with heated air, but it does not require much thought to come to the conclusion that this diminution of weight is barely worth mentioning. Also, we have not been able as yet to prove that the muscle and bone substance, as well as other parts of the bird's body, are specifically light. [...] After a bird is plucked, no one will assert that it is propor­ tionally lighter than other animals, and our housewives are certainly not under the impression that a pound of bird's flesh, even with the hollow bone included, is more bulky than an equal weight of flesh from another animal.

I'm not really sure that I'd judge Authentic Human Qanon Believer (2020) to be of greater value than GPT-5 Written News Summary (2026) though.

When it comes to people populating the internet with fake content to skew public perception and people replicating fake content because their perception has been skewed, I'm not sure how the bots are supposed to make the actual content worse. Granted, it might be more interesting to grapple with the psychology of why an account promotes puppies, cookies, Jesus and the belief that Donald Trump is going to rip off the Joe Biden mask and start the mass executions soon when you're pretty sure there's an actual human that likes puppies, cookies, Jesus and mass murder of political rivals and not just a machine-derived replication of popular sentiment, but it's not like human-generated social media is a paragon of quality content. Frankly, if trust in social media is about to die, long live our AI overlords.

I write most of my code in Java but I have a lot of C, Objective-C, JavaScript and many other languages. In fact I found IDE's to be even more useful for JS since it's such a mess. It's much easier to shoot yourself in the foot in other IDEs.

I started with Java 27 years ago and back then text editors were the only option for years. So I can use them just fine for Java.

From what I understand, stablecoins generally fall into two categories:

1. Relies on some central entity to buy/sell it as to peg/back it to another asset.

2. Relies on some central observer to sign exchange rates so that the system can automatically adjust its reward system.

Your statement needs some clarification.

Yes, Thunderbird supports OpenPGP, with a fully integrated solution.

However, Thunderbird doesn't use gpg by default, because of license incompatibility Thunderbird cannot bundle GnuPG software.

That's why Thunderbird uses the RNP library as its default OpenPGP backend.

You may optionally configure externally installed GnuPG for secret key operations, as described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards

Side-note on digital calendars: What I'd really like is a continuously scrolling calendar to help with long-ish term planning (3-4 months). Most apps are stuck in the single-month page view analogy to physical calendars, which for me keeps breaking my mental flow of stringing activities across the boundary/long distances. And I get why (standard behavior/components and user expectations) but it just seems like a missed opportunity. Not sure how many want this but I suspect more would do if they were exposed to it.

A few calendar apps allow a stretch of >4 weeks and there's this POC web version: https://madebyevan.com/calendar/app/ but all I can do for now is constantly switch from a Gantt app to my calendar app (Thunderbird or Google Calendar).

Heatwaves have become more frequent, more intense, and last longer because of human-induced climate change.

Yes but the real issue with Tokyo is the insane urban heat island effect. I challenge anyone else to tell me where its that bad. Maybe New York? But NY seems to be surrounded by a lot of water so I feel breezes would be more helpful.

It's a concrete Jungle, any breeze is stifled by huge developments along the shore of the Tokyo bay [1], it's sunny as hell for a good part of summer and of course, all the heat exhaust from the crazy amount of trains in the enormous subway warm the city.

With regards to the lack of breeze, it's a known problem and there are plans in place to remedy it

The summer is insanely brutal and in my opinion something that people don't consider when visiting in summer. The heat and humidity are extreme.

Your quote says “without any creative input or intervention from a human author”.

Just hitting a "Generate random artwork" button indeed certainly doesn't seem to qualify as "creative output or intervention", but as for how DALL-E and consorts currently work, I'd say that coming up with a suitable prompt text, potentially refining it to get the output closer to what you want, curating the output, maybe using one of the output pictures as input for further processing, etc. arguably all are at least some amount "creative input or intervention from a human author".

That's not entirely true: my first Monkey Island was the EGA version which was rendered in 320x200 resolution which used 200 scanlines on a real EGA monitor which certainly caused blurring and horizontal lines like on TV. On VGA hardware the 320x200 resolutions were 'scanline doubled' so you got 2x2 'square'-ish pixels and less shadowlines.
I built the exact same thing.. and had exactly the same outcome, crazy coincidence! Probably my biggest failure and learning experience so far.
What I see clearly is this:

- NATO countries have nukes, therefore they don't get invaded

- Russia has nukes, therefore they don't get invaded

- Ukraine does not have nukes, therefore despite the non-proliferation and Russian friendship treaties which guarantee not being invaded, they got invaded anyway because they have no deterrent and nobody gives a fuck

It's really as simple as that.

Why do those mathematical arguments about CO2 emitted never include how much CO2 would be emitted by a person (and transitively emitted, too - i.e. how much CO2 would be required to produce the required food for the person) if they did the job themselves?

I.e. somehow walking 100 steps suddenly produces 0 CO2. Which is completely not true, at least in this case the person would be breathing, let alone spending calories walking up the stairs.
It's very complicated and you will get different takes from different people. It's not a simple situation.

There a few factors that make homelessness in SF particularly difficult to solve in my opinion:

- Very large unsheltered population relative to total population. SF is only ~850,000 people and of those, ~4,500 people are sleeping on the street on any given night [1] and another ~3,500 in shelters (low end estimates based on point-in-time counts, probably much higher numbers over the course of a year). In other words, around 1% of the city's population is unsheltered and a lot of that population is concentrated in a few areas. That's not counting the many people who are technically homeless but not actually living on the street.

- There are a lot of services to treat the symptoms of homelessness (shelters, food programs, drug programs, etc) and tons of money spent, but nothing is realistically working towards just permanently housing these 7,500 - 8,500 people en mass. So there's no end to the money spent and relatively small permanent results. Of course housing in general is in very short supply in SF, which makes this harder.

- SF is so expensive that the idea of someone going from living on the street to affording permanent residence sounds more like a miracle than a realistic option.

- Many of the unsheltered have mental issues and would require legal intervention to get them off the street, which is not currently happening.

- There is a far left contingent of the population who thinks the idea of criticizing how someone lives or trying to more strongly intervene to get them off the street is wrong/immoral/whatever.

- The problem is so bad (and has been for so long) that I don't think anyone is really thinking big enough or working on anything radical enough to make a big change. Obviously lots of money is spent and lots of individuals work really hard on the issue, but no one has figured how to really change the overall situation.

IDK. Ask the Irish.

The Taliban, VC, etc, had basically ZERO ability to mess with the invading army's supply lines or the political process keeping those supply lines open. Furthermore, the martial law steps taken in places like Iraq to stem the violence would be much more politically costly domestically.
