Using Zionist as a pejorative is a clear indication of personal bias, but you do you.

Here's a good history of this conflict[1]. Worth a read. Labeling something you disagree with as propaganda, when there is so much documentary evidence supporting the thing you label thusly, is not a good argumentation strategy.

The arabs who were refugees were not expelled. They were not re-admitted. As the article notes, the failures of the arab leadership and their inability to come to terms and negotiate in good faith with the new political leadership has lead to 75+ years of their own diaspora. As the article notes, these were not innocent, nor victims.

Their children, held in these conditions for decades, should have been resettled where they landed. If they want even a chance of returning to Israel, they should bury their sword, create a genuine peace. Amazing things would happen then.

Though, given the chant is "river to sea ...", I don't expect this to occur in anyone's lifetime.

The arabs launched a war of aggression. They lost. They lost the subsequent wars they launched. Their people were displaced by those wars. They aren't victims of anything but terrible leadership.

Israel isn't going anywhere.

For what it's worth, the "sometimes forget I have it running and then I browse on mobile away from home and get bombarded with ads" bothered me enough personally to attempt to smooth it over. Ended up using Tailscale DNS so that every device on my tailnet/VPN benefits. It was painless and has been solid for ~4mo now.
There would not be a problem if we had better smartphone OS in the first place. Apple and Google both locked down the environments as hard as they could. This is the result of that and it will never be a fight that you can win if you don't have complete control about your device.
Bigger cities typically regulate taxis and sell licenses to operate to taxi companies, who then employ or contract the drivers.

Uber was always an unlicensed taxi scheme. Their planned business model was to ignore the law to reduce costs, then sell rides below cost until everyone else is out of business.
Then there are the ceti eels..
As for Cloudflare I'd recommend NOT hosting your DNS with your domain name provider, just in case one of them does something stupid (but often if your domain goes sideways there's not much you can do anyway ...)

What system allows you to try 2⁴³ passwords in half a jiffy?
I think a few things are going on.

One is that the FOSS world is contemptuous towards visual quality, I have gotten sick and tired of complaining about how, in common Linux distributions, the taskbar and "settings" tools are designed with no regard whatsoever for text fitting in the space allocated for the text. There is a real "heads in the sand" attitude about this, they won't accept tickets for it, Linux enthusiasts react violently when you bring it up.

I don't know if I've gotten pickier or if a patent war has resulted in worse algorithms being used but when I started doing a lot of visual design work a year ago I was shocked at how programs like Microsoft Powerpoint and Adobe Illustrator don't properly automatically kern text. The consequence is that if you set headlines in a serif font it looks terrible; go look at a large number of posters people print with these tools and you might think that serif fonts are obsolete, but I think they've fallen out of fashion because they aren't rendered properly so people use sans serif instead.
Yes, exactly! For example `(myVar=myVal&key=value)`
I use a runtime list of regex to parse the text into tokens, so it's completely dynamic but my current project I have a need to "condition" the nodes (only show up if certain conditions are true) and also to set values upon node actions (in this case, "selecting" a node can set values; i.e. `<myVar="a weirdly formatted new value"&key=newKey>`, or whatever).
As far as I can tell, allowing the library that will generate compile-time/runtime objects from the nodes to receive those types of key-value pairs can allow for whatever text-substitution, state-setting, or event triggers a consuming app would need. Very interested if you can think of some outlier functionality that I'm missing, though!
I mean, I don't really think so. Most things don't matter to most people. For instance, I really could not care less whether or not my pad see ew is cooked with peanut oil or not. My roommate will die if hers is. So, we get pad see ew that's cooked with vegetable oil. I can walk up a ramp and use an elevator; my best friend cannot walk up stairs. So, we live in a building with an elevator and a door ramp, and I support the ADA. Et cetera, et cetera.

Similar principles apply to kashrut (kosher food), halal meat, etc. with the exception that I _do_ want pork to be available - and, lo and behold, it is, because the majority do care about that one. There are few places in the US where one really cannot get pork.

Personally, I think that this kind of thing is the mark of a functioning society. When some people have specific needs that don't harm others, there's no reason not to cater to those people. I think we can apply this to a lot of other things, too, that are forbidden mostly due to social taboo rather than actual harm - things like advanced insulins not being available to adults without a prescription, body modification and piercing artists not being allowed to use local anesthesia, and so forth.
Whats the point? It’s not like it makes any difference. His tweet will not protect you if you choose to make harmful changes to someone else’s stuff.
Yes, agreed with you as to buffer underflows. Here, I really like that Zig has checked arithmetic enabled by default in safe builds. It's a small decision (to many) but so important. It surprises me that Rust does not do this for safe builds. A panic is stronger (and safer) than only wrapping or (implicit) saturating arithmetic.
The author uses 'embedded', given that SahAssar didn't explain it either, in the same sense as an 'embedded reporter', That is to say, as a member with a distinct role in an otherwise homogeneous team.

I have used shallow clones to speed up and shrink what gets pulled into a docker image when building it. Of course it was a hack to make up for past mistakes but I was glad the option was available.
Interesting. I don't hear a single frequency, I often, but not always, hear two or more. I wasn't aware until today that this is called double tinnitus and is rare. I have TMJ and tinnitus. I always thought my tinnitus was from going to really loud music shows, but now I'm wondering whether it doesn't have multiple causes, which perhaps explains the different frequencies. Does this seem plausible?
The real race is not whether or not SLS or Starship will launch first, but how many times will Starship launch between Artemis I and Artemis II.

The more launches, the cheaper Starship gets.
I could see both being really useful. I don't want my full dotfiles available on arbitrary remote servers. But being able to setup a new dev environment by just cloning my dotfiles and linking them back is also invaluable.
I mean the prices listed are not hand wavy.

We know the cost of SLS/Orion from public numbers and Government Budget Service.

We know the commercial prices for SpaceX launches.

Of course I have not done a full analysis of the cost of mating a service module and capsule in LEO. That would be far to much effort for a person that is not paid to do it.

But given that the difference is 3.5 billion, I don't think anybody could argue that this wouldn't be within that margin.

I would only hint at comparable programs cost. 3.5 billion is more then the complete Crew Dragon program, and we are talking about a dumb service module that consists of mostly things that already exists.

And that 3.5 billion $ is just the first launch, over the next 10 launches it would go up to about 15 billion $. Suggesting that it would cost more then 2 billion $ per launch to push a capsule from LEO to moon orbit is a bit absurd anyway you look at it. There would essentially be no new technology needed.

Some people have made series Artemis alternatives plans over the years, such as moon direct for example. But those of course change far more then my 'minimal' example.

But I of course have not paid millions of $ to do a complete study on an alternative architecture. That's what NASA should do, but they don't because they are not allowed to. And they aren't allow to because everybody knows it would be beyond embracing.

The only initial attempt to do a minimal study on just an alternative for Artemis 1 almost got the NASA Administrator fired.

I have muscle tremors that sound like a fluttering or low rumbling at night that sounds very much like this. It's an occasional thing that sounds similar to what I hear when I yawn deeply.
Predatory Pricing
Yes, I absolutely agree. If the majority isn't harmed, it's fine for the minority to get their way, and if the majority _is_ harmed, they can use their equal democratic representation to solve that (if they do, in fact, have it.)

It may be less emotionally rewarding, but in many areas

- many places advertisements violate various rules and on notification local authorities (or other entity) is likely to take action. For example in Poland ads (except political ones, politicians exempted themself again) cannot be ever placed on bridges, lamp posts, traffic signs, guard rails etc. Every single one placed there is illegal and road maintainers remove them once notified.

- local authorities may be allowed to pass laws banning or limiting their presence (Kraków, Poland recently outlawed large part of billboards within city)

Also, removing some of ads may be perfectly legal or with penalties so low that eliminating them is not legally risky.

Oh yeah, it’s truly shocking that a company with most of their staff in Ukraine decided to cut off Russia.

What unreliable pieces of shit. How dare they?
No earlier than dates are optimistic by nature. I could believe the dates if everything (from launches to environmental approvals) goes well, that is unlikely though.

Regardless of the dates, Artemis using starship as a lander seems practically guaranteed at this point, so SLS really is relegated to the role of unnecessary taxi...
Time to move somewhere else because the CEO is so confident they can't be hacked he publically offers money to anyone who can do it? You want to be with one that thinks it is insecure?
>At the beginning of the book, York points to a 1946 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Marsh v. Alabama, which held that private entities can become sufficiently large and public to require them to be subject to the same Constitutional constraints as government entities.

We actually live beyond a time where this is possible. The political conditions of the US have basically deteriorated to where any meaningful regulation of corporations can't really happen because of the changing laws around how corporate contributions to political campaigns work. It actively hurts whichever political party attempts to regulate (by reducing finical contributions/increasing them to the other party or rivals in primaries who "stay in their lane".)

The only group who benefits from regulation are individuals who live in the country, which really isn't enough to get laws passed.
It is just a skill to learn. I never said that I was trying to make anyone a programmer. At this age, they need to get exposed to breadth of options (martial arts, music, dance, sports, code) so that they can decide what to do when they reach next stages of school and college life.
You misunderstand me. The ruling class in the north didn’t care about slavery, just their own profits. It just so happened that they were in competition with the ruling class in the south, whose wealth depended on slavery.

Of course many workers did care about slavery and wanted to end it, so they allied themselves to the northern ruling class.
He means geographic size. Ontario has twice the land area of France.
That's shortsightedly frugal accounting.

Developing a working Starship is worth a lot to SpaceX. They could go deeply into debt on the first six launches, and make it up later.
As a professional platform builder, I’m always amazed at how good of a piece of hardware Amazon has made, with how limited it’s platform experience is

Kindles can only (easily) do what Amazon wants it to do —full stop.

It’s like the iPhone before the App Store.

I bet Amazon would make a massive amount of money if they opened up their ecosystem to let others develop on top of it
Are you kidding me?

> to people who were ordered to flee their homes by their leaders, and then denied re-entry by the new political entity..

Whats happening in Palestine is people "ordered to leave their homes" and then because of "political entity" can't return???

If you want to say the removal of rights to return to your own land, you house getting destroyed and losing all your belongings, children, Innocent people and Journalists getting killed everyday, illegal arrests and the Third holliest mosque in Islam getting regularly attacked, are all because of a "polticial entity",

Than one can argue the Holocaust was also because of a "Political entity" that was voted in by people.

Now that we apply this weird logic to the Holocaust it suddenly doesn't work huh?

Fiverr is high commission and takes a large portion of your earnings. Same with Upwork. To maximize your profit, it’s best to to build your own brand. Focus on what you’re great at and advertise the HELL out of it. From there, you’ll have a niche audience as a freelancer and as long as you’re good, people will refer you.

I’m currently in the process of building a platform for creatives. Our main focus is to keep it simple, and maximize the creators profit, as well as paying as fast as possible. We give you a platform to build from instead of you building the platform for us.

If you have time, I’d love to talk about some of the things you’d be looking for in your ideal freelance platform.

"using the government to seize private property"

Hey, I hear you. Property rights are important.

The thing is, not all property rights are equal. Some are more established than others.

Owning land and owning our own tangible possessions are some of the most firmly established rights. Even in these cases there are carve-outs for public good (taxes, eminent domain) but I'm right there with you that we should seek to preserve these property rights above all else.

But there are other property rights which are much less well established, and which change over time. Copyright, for example, is a relatively new property right and it has changed, expanded, significantly since its inception. When we talk about reducing the scope of copyright, are we talking about seizing private property? Well, maybe, but only in the same sense that extending copyright is seizing public property and making it private.

Water rights in human history are older than copyright, but the particular structure of western water rights in California is newer and less well-established. In fact, the basic structure of water rights is very different in the western US than in the eastern, and this difference is a major source of our water troubles. This didn't matter for a long time, but now it matters a lot.

Talking about correcting these types of incongruities inherent in the way we structure ownership is substantially different from the banal picture you paint of seizing tangible, real private property.
Good software needs no docs.

But no. Money is just a way invented to distribute production that human society invented. Debt is a mercantile, then capitalist tool to push toward creating productive assets (see venitian shipowners or textile factories before the industrial revolution). It now have new use with the banking system, but obligations are still basically the same.

Also, while i would rather we don't use debt, it's not at all fueling growth. Growth is fueled by energy use (productivity increase is marginal at best), and growth create liquidity needs, which is either resolved by money printing or by debt. So it's backward.
I agree to disagree a lot, but it may not be obvious. I just stop replying. I suspect I'm not the only one. I guess I could reply and say "agree to disagree" but it sort of feels like an empty gesture. Plus, back in my day, sending that to a Usenet group or mailing list: that's a paddlin'.

That's interesting. It's not hard to see the problem. HTML labels don't help, either. How do other languages solve this? Like, a shell HERE document that has one fixed string as a terminator? The graphviz lexer https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/cgraph/... seems hackable but disabling downstream processing of escapes elsewhere would be necessary too. Possibly this would mean bypassing some of the processing in the function make_label in https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/common/...

It's a disappointment or even failure of our current language scanning and parsing tools or, really, the way we used them, that this is not an easy exercise.

The street is too dangerous, you are right. An experimental nuclear reactor, however, does not make the street safer.

Additionally, the public is relatively unaware of how nuclear plants fail. If people at nuclear reactor research labs suddenly stop showing up to work - what happens? People kind of assume it will explode, or become a radiation hot-zone rendering the local area unusable for a hundred+ years.

And considering the experimental reactors being discussed need parts replacement due to corrosion, what happens if those replacements dont happen?

The dangers of human inaction seem much higher for nuclear than other things. With standard fuel sources, if people stop showing up to work then power simply stops being made - that's pretty much it. And while they are at work, the process is pretty simple and robust (compared to nuclear) with a lot of room for error.

I know I've been surprised (in a good way) to learn about some of the safety mechanisms existing within nuclear reactors, but I still only sort of understand what anything means that I read - and the safety mechanisms that gave me some sense of relief is based on a lot of assumptions I had to make about the way nuclear works as a lay person.

how about nuclear scientist stop saying "trust me bro" and more aggressively educate people on nuclear fail-safes? People have trouble voting for things they do not understand. And educating the public on something they are either uninterested in or incapable of understanding is an unfair burden to put on nuclear scientists, but they are the only ones qualified to do so.

the ball will move a lot faster once lay people can exchange stories about nuclear safety that go beyond "we barely use nuclear, and no one has died yet, it's actually really safe because ... reasons? scientists said so?"
haha, i would too. let's prefer all the things!
I don't personally feel it is inherently unethical (open or closed source) to have product telemetry. Of course one can collect more than they need and can certainly do some ethically questionable things with the data that is collected.

Supporting an option to opt-out of telemetry seems to be very ethical to me and in theory open source would allow one to unwind the telemetry so in some sense I think it is more ethical in open source than closed. In practice though I feel only a tiny percentage of people actually inspect let alone modify the open source they use so perhaps there is not practical advantage.
Consider the last inhospitable area there was a rush to explore, Antarctica. The efforts to claim it haven't amounted to much, mostly because it's such a terrible place to build settlements. Chile and Argentina have tried to make settlements at the very tip, but the population there is smaller than the population of the USA's McMurdo Station.

Antarctic exploration is a good analogy. A little over a century ago, it was the new frontier. But as we advanced, the excitement gave way to cold reality. Though it was exciting at the time, I doubt most people could tell you who the first person to reach the South Pole was. And the doubtful that the journeys actually provided any benefit to modern researchers there. If we had simply waited a few decades and started exploring when the technology was there (the so-called "Mechanical age" of Antarctic exploration), fewer lives would have been lost and we would have been in the same place we are today.
