Afghanistan was asking for proof that Bin Laden was to blame, and had offered to set up some common courts to decide on the matter - as was their right as a sovereign nation.

The invasion of Serbia was much more morally justified, as it helped stop a genocide that Slobodan Milosevic was committing against the Islamic Albanian minority, mainly in Kosovo.

Combine it with a similarly restrictive air travel regulation and I'm on board. Takes a lot of miles in a Hummer to equal a trip to Europe and back.
My company did adopt background checks, as part of our SOC-2 requirements and because my company works with health insurers (which generally impose this requirement via contract, regardless of SOC-2).

Like many people here, I didn't like the requirement. That being said

1) It's possible to configure background checks so you don't receive irrelevant information (e.g., if DUIs aren't relevant, then configure the check so you don't receive information about DUIs). In most cases, you'll just want to receive information about financial and privacy related offenses.

2) What you do with the information is up to you (unless your customers enforce certain actions). In general, the SOC-2 auditors will want to see a plan by which you acknowledge and manage the risk, which doesn't necessarily mean you can't hire the person.

I think 3 grand is probably an underestimate for any significant move. It cost me $1k to move ~2.5 miles across town the last time I moved.

Doesn't the buck stop with the CEO ? or are we going to look the other way because she is playing the "Pregnant Woman Victim" card and the "Brown Man bad" card. I hope she gets the same sentence as he did. But you never know. She took all the glory and limelight as the CEO and now it is time to suffer the consequences of the fraud as well.

Interesting point - I commented above on something and mentioned my nonexistent desire to try a headset.
Do you think the host/headset owner didn’t want to try it because it’s a hassle or something?
It seems like the biggest drawback of VR is that in wearing one you’re removed from your physical environment (unlike a computer, phone, or physical book).

What's that certain level of complexity? I have some heuristics I might use, but what I've noticed is that even discussion about where these product behavior thresholds are seems to be rare.

And "polish" and "silky smooth" don't seem like features that come automatically with any of the top frameworks either, nor things that are inherently difficult without them.
It’s not a shared market, only a shared grid—through the magic of accounting, you can purchase renewable energy even if the actual electrons came from a fossil fuel plant.
Ask HN: How to choose a Linux distro?
For the past 6 years I've been uainn Debian. I love the stability and the values of the project, but sometimes I feel like the fact that versions of certain packages are old, is hurting my productivity more than the stability helps with it (old pulseaudio having problems with my Bluetooth headset is an example).

Now of course this is just a hypothesis, but I'm starting to consider evaluating other distros as well, just in case I'm missing something.

I'm a backend developer doing some system development as well.

My question: how would you go about evaluating alternative distros? Where would you look at first?
No, fortunately not. Though being pregnant can sometimes lead to lighter or modified sentances if the judge is allowed discretion.
Having worked in two way satellite for many years it is always very amusing to see the HN crowd who've never implemented remote terminals in physical reality...

They should definitely go price some Inmarsat I-4 or I-5 based BGAN services or gyro stabilized maritime C/Ku/Ka band VSAT terminals before thinking this is expensive.

You can easily spend $130,000 on a fairly basic geostationary VSAT terminal for something like a small cruise ship or large yacht.

Also lots of amusing comments from people who've never been 100% dependent for months or years at a time on 1:1 SCPC or oversusbcribed, contended geostationary based access at latency anywhere from 492ms to 1250ms and $ per Mbps cost of $2000 per dedicated Mbps as a floor figure.
Probably more related to the fact that if you look at the globe from above the Pacific, you see mostly water:

I'm pretty sure the base load (which what you're drawing from off of peak hours) is largely produced by fossil fuel generation because those sources don't have the variability of renewables (I don't think a lot of solar is being produced at night...).
Not going to lie, this is pretty neat!
This is different. The problem of providing offshore satcom with LEOsats is a quantified engineering problem. IOW, the industry knows quite well what technologies will solve the problem and Starlink has those technologies in place. The only unknown is how fast, accurate, and reliable the laser-based intersat comms will be.

None of that is true for the self-driving car problem. That problem still contains a multitude of unknowns, including unknown unknowns.

Cybertruck is yet another kind of problem. I don't know what the issue with that is but I'd guess it's about manufacturing capacity.
Yes. Screenshots of resolved security tickets, screenshots of 2FA being required in the Google Apps console, etc.
If all progress reports were as technical and interesting as dolphins I would just be reading them all week.

Always fun to see what they have been working on and it's a bit inspirational to see such dedication long after the emulator had accomplished near total coverage at native framerates and has at this point implemented even it's userbases stretch goals. Now it's just building out features to understand and help teach us mere mortals, and I'm thankful for each lesson my lizard brain holds onto.

Well, perhaps this will move politicians to create policy, rather than relying on a court ruling.

> Even discounting that, politics had nothing to do with system's adoption.

They had a lot to do with systemd's adoption!

As I said in a reply to a sibling comment, usual adoption means getting users to adopt your software. Poettering used politics to get distros to adopt his software. Completely different methods.

> Rather systemd was adopted because it was technically superior to any contemporary alternative.

Not really. For certain use cases, yes, but systemd is still laughably bad.
Or vessels working offshore industry… having that kind of uplink speed could really change how the industries work.

I talked to a couple friends.

Most are women.

Many laughed at me posting this on a forum dominated by men in their twenties.

As not the best place to get advice on this issue.

I, however, have found it interesting.

I will argue with you though. If you look at the language, many people on this people volunteered their facts about my fertility without any expression that it was a perception, but just a fact.

I will add that the moderators have been incredibly vigilant in deleting and flagging some of the more misogynistic comments that have been posted here including one that said, "your baby will definitely be abnormal"

I feel and I have always felt that it's easy to point fingers at Trump for saying "grab them by the pussy" in a van, but it's harder to address misogyny in your own community and treat the people who are being misogynistic as human beings. That starts by expressing your own humanity and seeing theirs.

These people can continue to go around telling women in their forties that they are infertile and act like they know better than a doctor, or maybe the next time they meet a woman like me, they will pause and see that might be hurtful, and be more curious instead of volunteering these unsolicited "Facts" about her body.

These are random musings.

However, the most important thing about writing that answer was that I needed to stand up for myself.

And express why this bothered me so much.

I know my body better than the people in this forum.
The comments made me doubt that a couple times.
I needed to stand up for myself.

I felt better.

Thanks for asking.

Also, I am not a mess. I'm sorry if you feel you are. You don't seem like a mess, but you know yourself best :) Good luck to you.
Yeah Typescript is great. It doesn't have a negation type per se, but its pretty easy to derive one using the never type [1]. The author of this essay actually explicitly calls out Typescript several times. Some quotes from the paper's conclusion:

> In this essay I tried to survey the multiple advantages and usages of set-theoretic types in programming.

> ...the need of set-theoretic types naturally arises when trying to fit type-systems on dynamic languages

> The development of languages such as Flow, TypeScript, and Typed Racket is the latest witness of this fact.

Related data on CO2 intensity on grids, this shows a map based on EPA data. It shows what the equivalent CO2 emissions would be between an average EV compared to a gas car. The worst in the lower 48 is SERC Midwest (parts of IL and MO) at around 42mpg, the best is upstate NY at 255mpg.

> it's worth noting that deep underwater is not the worst place for a small amount of nuclear waste to end up.

Is worth noting also that sometimes the deep underwater currents raise to surface in some points when crashing against continents, so is not so simple.
You do tend to get a more lenient sentence if you have dependents, but its not guaranteed.
Abstract: ” Building artificial intelligence (AI) that aligns with human values is an unsolved problem. Here we developed a human-in-the-loop research pipeline called Democratic AI, in which reinforcement learning is used to design a social mechanism that humans prefer by majority. A large group of humans played an online investment game that involved deciding whether to keep a monetary endowment or to share it with others for collective benefit. Shared revenue was returned to players under two different redistribution mechanisms, one designed by the AI and the other by humans. The AI discovered a mechanism that redressed initial wealth imbalance, sanctioned free riders and successfully won the majority vote. By optimizing for human preferences, Democratic AI offers a proof of concept for value-aligned policy innovation.”

I don’t understand this logic.

I don’t see how an ‘if’ Ukraine joined nato and a ‘maybe’ it might give NATO an advantage over Russia is better then war now. I don’t see how something that is a known horror for all involved, is better than something that ‘could be’ worse maybe one day. The only unknown currently is how much more horrific it will become and how long it will go for. Generations of hatred have been sown already.

There was definitely ways to appease each side prior to war, eg integrating Russia’s economy and energy grid further into Europe and the west. This was a terrible failure of diplomacy that built up over decades.

Now that all involved are getting more experienced at warfare it will just promote deadlier warfare, ai controlled weapons etc etc. I’m completely losing faith in humanity, it unbelievable sad what’s happening.
Sounds like a good reason to create protected “no turn on red” crosswalks.

The state’s monopoly on violence should be used judiciously and sparingly to secure our individual rights, not as a catch-all tool for coercing (or outright forcing) people into making the choices you want them to.
I work in the space industry and follow SATCOM closely. This is a very competitive space. Companies like Viasat, Iridium and Inmarsat already work in this vertical.

SpaceX beats all these companies from a marketing perspective, but the big question is will a LEO operator provide better coverage than a GEO operator?
They’re using optimistic numbers for gasoline and pessimistic numbers for electric.

A gallon of gasoline emits about 11.8 kg of CO2 if you include refining.
https://innovationorigins.com/en/producing-gasoline-and-dies...

One kilowatt-hour of electricity currently emits about 372grams of CO2, a number that has dropped from 500 grams in 2012.

A new Chevy Malibu gets 32.5mpg combined. Hummer EV gets 47mpge combined, or about 1.394 miles per kWh.

363gCO2 per mile for the Malibu, 267gCO2/mile for the Hummer.

I don’t think using hyper-specific region specific metrics makes a lot of sense considering the grid is all connected. (At least, the East Coast and Midwest, Texas doing its own thing, and then the west Coast.) in any case, the grid is getting lower emissions over time and could go MUCH lower than current (maybe half or less) over the full life of any new vehicle.

Also, a Hummer EV is displacing other large vehicles. And if everybody drove subcompacts or other hyper efficient gasoline cars then we’d have less of a problem anyway. But not everyone is doing that. And a lot of people don’t want to. From a political economy standpoint then this is still a huge net win. Every new car and truck needs to at least have a plug in it within the next 5 to 10 years, and then we can start penalizing larger and heavier vehicles more directly.

EDIT: what we should do is expand the EV tax credit. GM no longer qualifies as they used theirs up, like Tesla. Mostly just foreign EV makers qualify, which cannot be the real intention of lawmakers when they made the law.

We can use the EV credit as a tool for improving efficiency. Instead of subsidizing per kWh of battery, we subsidize per mile of range. The first 50 miles of range (ie to be a plug in hybrid, but need at least 6.6kW charging speed) are incentivized at $100/mile of range. The next 200 miles of range $25/mile (under the condition of 100kW fast charging capability).

That way car companies are incentivized (even more) to maximize miles per kWh. Small, hyper-efficient EVs will be disproportionately credited. For a given kWh of battery, you’ll make more EV credit money as a carmaker putting it in a small, very efficient car than a big Hummer. But unless we renew the EV credit (and make it per kWh), there isn’t this (additional) incentive.
Literally like 6 over the past few days. Totally insane.

If you're trying to be a vendor for a medium or larger company, SOC2 is usually one of the bright-line requirements.

... Which is not a good thing, because (as noted already in this thread) SOC2 doesn't actually make you secure. Nor does not having certification make you insecure. But, when used as a shorthand, it leads companies to engaging in compliance theater to get certified, spending a bunch of money without actually making their data noticeably more secure.
Canadian cities even more so.

The only rights you have a sovereign nation are what you can support by strength of arms or diplomacy. Rights are protected by common governments and there is no world government both the US and Afghanistan were party to.

As far as NATO is concerned another party punched a member in the face and and the defensive pact responded as they had laid out in their public treaties. If other nations want to construe that as not a real attack and the defensive pact needed to take it slow and capitulate the the internal legal demands of an aggressor state, that’s a position they can take. They are however, going to be repeatedly surprised when NATO doesn’t take that stance under advisement

I think one problem is that there aren't really treaties with rules on multiple citizenship or really the criteria for citizenship in general that would prevent a country from refusing to allow you to renounce your citizenship, so if a country has some basis and incentive to consider you a citizen under its rules, there isn't really anything stopping it from doing so.
