See, you noted two things there I agree with. One is that in reality if your goal isn't genocide, targeting civilians does not help your efforts before or after victory. Second is that UN security concil members after WW2 and "war crimes" being a thing commit war crimes without accountability, these days it only applies to weak countries. Who will prosecute the victor? Anothe nation by means of another war?

When I said genocide is a modern invention I meant it being a specially clasiffied crime. Of course it happened plenty? Natives in the americas and australia can tell you so as well but it was just war at the time. As recently as the 1800s it was not a crime to go hunting for indians without provocation.

> Punishing a whole population for that, including children, elderly and other non-combatants, is wrong. Regardles of which side is doing it.

Again, I find myself explaining that right and wrong are out of the window at that point. You have such views because in the west it is rare to be afraid that you as a civilian and your family will be killed by the other side. When your whole country is in the fear and terror of war, killing civilians becomes very popular. The US has not fought a single war of self-defense since WW2 so I see why this sentiment is popular. Nuking japan did have popular support and was a celebrated thing afterwards as well by the majority.

Your hindsight judgement is irrelevant and for future wars you should understand that when it is a war of self defense and survival there are no rules similar to how when a person is fighting for their lives they will not and cannot be expected to follow any rules.

In general, I agree with you that killing unarmed people is wrong, even as collateral damage. My point on this thread is that such opinions of morality are vain and even damaging against the ultimate goal of victory and survival in war. The unclean way I would put it is: polishing turd won't make it clean.
A lot of the high quality content that exists on the internet only exists because the advertising pays for the people who create it.

Be careful what you wish for. If you make sites with ads rank lower the void will just be filled with crypto scams or affiliate marketing. Remember it's a lot easier to make a spam site than a high quality one, changes that disincentive high quality sites from existing won't necessarily do the same for spam sites.

> So are they lying or will you eventually find out the cost?

Yes.

This is the kind of deception that starts early on in the process to get you to narrow down your car selection by deceiving you on the actual price of the car.

> Buying a car is not the hardest feat by any stretch imaginable. If you’ve put down a deposit, you will have seen the all in cost. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

It's not hard, but it's definitely not pleasant, and the the auto makers and dealers can do some slimy practices. The parent comment I was replying to seemed to conflate auto makers should not be allowed to advertise an inaccurate MSRP with over-regulation. Also you are not 100% correct about deposits, just ask Bronco reservation holders who put down deposits with dealers for reservations, that later got turned into orders, that when the car arrived had thousands of dollars of surprise "ADM" (Additional Dealer Markup in Ford lingo) added to the buy sheet.
My grandmother retired around that time, was replaced by 2 guys. Most of the women might still have been there, but with how the amount of computers and people working with them increased the share of women working in the field quickly shrank.

There were a lot of women who did the equivalent of modern excel work back then though. My uncle said the company took all the secretaries and spent 2 weeks getting all the numbers in order to make the yearly report, and how he convinced them to buy a computer and he used it to get it done in a day, was in the 70's. I'd guess that transformation involved the female computers at many companies, but the programming to get that done is very simple so you don't need dedicated programmers and I wouldn't call the people working on that programmers, my uncle was a business guy and not a computer wiz he just bought a computer and followed the manual.
Is there a way to filter Google search results?
SEO spam pollutes the top results in google.

One major thing I have noticed is that a lot of companies write an article on "10 best SAAS products in <their industry>" and mentioned there in the list is their own product.

Those articles tend to be biased.

So I was wondering if there was anyway to ignore articles that mentioned their own product in the article when using Google search?

The Graphic boldly proclaimed, “A machine that will feed the human race!”

So, I constantly struggled with this because of ever shifting circadian clock. I recently found a strong appreciation for sleeping pills. You have no idea how happy I am because of them. No more hours of being awake trying to sleep followed by days of wanting to sleep but couldn't.

I suggest going for the pill for anyone who struggles.

Here's an HN bubble aspect.

You can't use any title you want, for example, they will regularly edit the title and thus effectively change the general meaning of the submission as read by most folks who just skim titles. Which has the knock on effect of making the post less (or more) desirable for users to read/upvote.

For example titles starting with "How I ..." are auto stripped to "I ..." there are quite a few other similar auto editorial changes.

There is no way round this that I know of, so those parts of an idea are non-negotiable and not re-workable.

I have seen instances where this practice completely ruins an otherwise excellent submission that would have been #1 on HN in days of old.
Aren't forums and websites like HN and Reddit also social media?
> But children are not adults.

He's 17 years old, so he's not a full adult. But classing him as a child, in the same category as 6 year olds, seems further from the truth than calling him an adult. 17 years old is old enough to join the army, today, in numerous developed first world nations like New Zealand, Norway, and with parental consent, Germany and America.

Recently the son of a radio personality died. I was curious to if the family had released a cause of death and I was stunned by how many spam/bot-written sites where out there churning content for a fairly obscure death.
If there are that many for the son of someone on the radio, I can't imagine how many junk sites there are for actual celebrities. It is a huge problem and I'm not surprised even google can't stop all the crap from rising to the top.

Our org doesn’t have daily standup. We have weekly meetings but they dial in with camera off. When asked to give updates, they usually mention some small change, being blocked by other teams, or waiting for test result/releases. When you look at their code review, they often take 1 day to reply to comments so each diff could take a few days to submit.

I'm not sure anyone knows how school rankings work. From what I understand the published data can only be compared to past performance and to other schools in the same state. Check out https://nces.ed.gov/ if you want to learn about how the data is collected and reported.

I'm immensely burnt out on programming professionally but if I could get paid enough to live comfortably in a 2br apartment with my cat writing CRUD apps in PHP without ever even needing to see a customer or client, much less speak to one, and then be done at 5PM and shut off my work PC, I'd probably be happy. No startup hustle with unrealistic and demanding clients that get to run the company by proxy, none of that. That's hell on Earth.

I don't even like PHP, but if there's a group of programmers that live peaceful lives, my money is on 9-5 PHP programmers writing CRUD apps.
I shiver with fear at the thought of things moving using two legs. Eight legs good, two legs bad!
Yeah same for me. If I want to talk to someone, or share info with friends, I create a Messages group. If there’s more than a few people, then it’s a Telegram channel. If it’s work related or networking with colleagues then it’s Slack. If it’s gaming related then it’s Discord.

I look back at my Instagram and my last post was 2 years ago. All of the people that I used to see pop up, the people that would like my photos, and I would like their’s, those people seem to be gone. Friends from college, and high school have all been replaced by short videos of strangers, ads, and influencers.

I think the biggest missing piece for me is keeping up with people I know, but wouldn’t otherwise talk to (by any means listed above). It was nice to see those people pop up sometimes, but I have no way of serendipitously finding them anymore. That’s what social media was to me.

Which is why the "America might be a different case" was added. I suspect that the casteism was allowed to flourish among some Indian Americans, whereas in India the casteism was actively dismantled (and to how the IT industry is primarily in areas where casteism is less). Indian diaspora in the rest of the West were more middle class and probably did not care for caste at all in the first place.

Scott Meyers got into C++ pretty early (back when Usenix C++ fit into not that large a hotel event room), and his first(?) book, "Effective C++", stood out as especially helpful.

I had lunch with him in the early/mid-'90s, when my company was developing new tech CASE tools for aerospace/datacomm/etc. developers targeting C++, and wanted to get his input.

I'm happy to see that he has some newer books on evolved C++ to read, since I won't be surprised to be using C++ again. Despite the appeal of Rust, there's a lot of C++ going on.
As they mass produce sats at ever increasing rates and at the switch to Starship and increase production rate of their termianls, their price per unit of capacity is gone go down much more. They have 3 vital parts all are dropping in price.

In addition, with laser links and improving routing software they still have a ways to go in optimizing the whole network.

The global shipping, flying and remote industrial use-cases are significant and pay a premium. In addition there are still a huge number of rural people in the world, Africa, Asia, Europe, South America. Then there are all kinds of mobile use-cases as well.

Starlink will also be used on things like rockets (like Starship) and all kind of military aircraft as well. Such usecases will also pay a premium.

Then there is global low latency backhaul as well.

I think if you really go threw it there is plenty of markets to service, even if you assume fiber is gone continue to roll out.
I wish I was a rich person who could have stockpiled circa 2003-5 Honda Pilots and Odyssey’s. IMO the perfect family car.

Heat pumps are still a long way from the theoretical efficiency they could achieve.

For example, if I use a heat pump to cool my house down, and then later change my mind and use the same heat pump in reverse to heat my house back up again, in an ideal world I can get back all the energy I put in. (Assuming ideally insulated house)

With today's heat pumps, I get back nothing.

With in-the-lab prototype heat pumps I get back perhaps 1%.

But physics says I could get back far more if only we could get rid of the big inefficiency in every step of the process.

The main one being that every component of a heat pump becomes more efficient if it has smaller temperature differences between every component.

Not OP, but allow users to follow others and create an aggregate filter. That leads to its own problems, but if results are done with a weighted preference depending on if have been noted as "good" by people I've followed, or to a lesser extent those they've followed, it may produce better results.
We leased a new Jeep Cherokee from a Miami dealership some time ago. It was a company car and was financed. Some months later we noticed the odometer was blinking constantly so we took it in for service to a different dealer. The tech pulled it out and told us about it. He said they didn't do it at that dealership, but some do it.

It was just hanging off the OBD2 port, so if you're concerned about it when leasing or buying a new car then just make sure to check that port.

I still have it in a box somewhere. I'm not sure if there's anything interesting that can be done with it...

I would never argue that is universal, but just confine myself to the UNIX/Linux world. Were we to argue for universality, we’d be lost within a sea of /, \, -, /, //, \\, drive prefixes, and a few other things.

Within the UNIX/Linux world, though, it’s a remarkably useful and effective convention, implemented and respected with considerable consistency.

(Windows hidden files really aren’t, not once one drops to a CLI, and even then, it depends on the CLI. I’m not offering that as a criticism, but more of a caution of how difficult it is to get something like this to work. Extended attributes and even basic permissions have their twists and difficulties, even within a platform or platform family, let alone cross platform.)
The commercial TVs without smarts are getting hard to find. We don’t allow unmanaged OSs in some secure areas and finding them is harder and dramatically more expensive than a few years ago.

The Web3 part of this would be that no company needs to be responsible for the database that says that a player is in possession of a particular item. The fact that limited cooperation between companies is needed is what could allow the adoption of standardized schemas.

I'd be curious if even that would be so simple. There could be competing blockchains or types of NFTs. You might also get into the situation where instead of every company building the software to verify ownership they just pay specialized companies.In that situation Web3 technology isn't really all that different than a company building a virtual shop API. A company like Valve could probably do this better than Opensea could and without all the extra Web3 technology.
"Dave Asprey, host of The Human Upgrade, charges guests an average of $50,000 to appear on his biohacking podcast, which he says gets downloaded millions of times a month. He says that about 1% of episodes feature paying guests, and that he rejects plenty of offers from others. At the end of every episode, he discloses to listeners that the podcast “may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services,” and that individuals on the show “may have a direct or indirect financial interest in products or services referred to herein.”

“Appearance fees make sense in only certain circumstances,” Asprey says. “It has to be a weird confluence of a true expert who’s doing something new and interesting. I would take as many as I can get that meet my standards.”

Cars are insanely competitive, to a point. But it’s a dying market with a captive supply chain that’s been spun off over the years. Everyone is trying to milk the cow for as long as possible.

The little companies that make knobs or whatever AND deal with the bullshit associated with car companies are investing zero. One of the reasons why cars now look the same.
