Actually 1926 but yes, a lot of history in those nearly 100 years.
I suspect that we both know that the answer to that question is that they have not escaped resettlement as Israeli settlements have pushed further into territories that they (the Israelis) claim. If I remember, there is a large area that is traditional Bedouin land and where they formerly had a fair degree of autonomy for years (after 1948) but as settlements expand in the last couple decades especially, they are being moved to make way for new Israeli settlers.

I have followed maps over the years showing the expansion of Israeli claims and for that reason, it is unlikely to me that Bedouin people living on land where their people lived for generations, will not be affected by the expansion of Israel's territorial claims.

I am not an authority on the subject by any measure and welcome any corrections.

In general, the history of mankind doesn't favor indigenous people, regardless of how well they know their home environment. This is why so much historical knowledge is lost to later generations.
The last time they changed the date at which they changed the clocks we did an audit where I worked and convinced ourselves that we weren't going to have any trouble. That Sunday our ColdFusion server crashed because we hadn't updated the Java runtime.

That link makes claims not backed up by any sources it links to that are accessible online. If you follow the chain, it eventually gets to a book unavailable online, but I am skeptical.

Other research has shown no link between psychedelics and psychosis. [1]

This same [1] article discusses old research which may have shown a link, and speculates that the wide prevalence of various psychotic disorders may have led to spurious findings.

Corporations are voluntary associations of people for some specific purpose, while countries enforce monopoly of violence over certain area. They are not really comparable. Corporations have much higher freedom to set their internal rules because you have freedom to non-associate with them, while countries should enforce just necessary minimum of rules.

Polygraphs are a deterrence against weak-willed people. If you're so weak to crack to a machine that measures sweat, heart rate and breathing - you'd probably break some foreign actors. It's basically govt LARPing, but for interrogating hires. The vast majority of people that do polygraphs believe it works, so it's not so useless.
Well, the only reason to do that is to combust those products to create energy, right? If you want to bury the oil or coal as a means of carbon sequestration, well I suppose you could do that with wood instead, but if people really want to stablilize atmospheric CO2, the first step is to stop using fossil fuels entirely.

Good question. There's a few key benefits:

- It builds on the existing site, so the new design is always applied to HN urls. No need to visit a separate website.

- Privacy - everything is stored locally in your browser, there's no 3rd party website to track your activity etc. Also with JSON backup you're in full control of your data.

- Unlimited storage - local browser storage has limits, but extensions can request unlimited storage. This is useful for the history and bookmark features.
Python’s venv dance only really comes into play if you need a third-party dependency that you haven’t installed globally. The Go dance is always necessary, which makes it slightly more annoying for short scripts or tests. I usually resort to the Go playground for them.

> will be "among the lowest priorities" for law enforcement.

By that standard, both San Francisco and Los Angeles have decriminalized all drugs, alongside open containers, prostitution on the street, prostitution in strip clubs, prostitution elsewhere indoors, and practically every other vice.

And I'm reaaallly not saying this from a position of envy or disdain, only accuracy, there is also a completely parallel society for people living in tents where enforcement of anything is a stated non-priority.

Seeing an article about a board actually voting on a measure to "lower law enforcement priority" is kind of redundant! The Mayors and DA's have already dug their heels in, what does anything like this actually change? Does it force county/city judges to auto-drop cases if an officer and prosecutor fail to do so themselves?

Seems redundant if it can't actually do anything differently.

Which is to say: Boom is aimed at the wrong product. The High Tech part of efficient supersonic transport is the engines, not the airframe. If there was an off the shelf engine solution, they could just buy it on investor money. The dirty truth is that there isn't.
Good point, elefantastisch. Culture is a huge success driver. We think it is also about repeat, repeat and repeat the right things to achieve a great culture. And technology can help people not to forget to repeat. What do you think?
It's weird, I've never considered myself a "royalist" but this news has affected me quite strongly. I just burst into tears unexpectedly on hearing this news and I don't quite understand why I feel so very sad. I guess I have grown up and lived my whole life (as a Brit) seeing and hearing the Queen, singing "God save the Queen" etc, and this news made me suddenly feel very old, very nostalgic, with the sense that all things pass in time, which makes my heart ache deeply.

They are indeed the same number of words, but as headlines go they are extremely weak compared to the original. In my view they are not at all close.

The original (before HN edited the title) told you what the subject was immediately. It went from specific to general.

"Planet's most energy efficient ..." is the most terrestrially broad introduction one could use.

Likewise, "New research finds ..." is such a common phrase that it almost repels people (particularly since much research is bogus).

It's only a subset of US English speaking people which will be confused by the original title. To the subset of US residents who have never heard of the company Peleton, and the hundreds of millions of English speakers outside the US, this headline wouldn't have been confusing at all.

Look at Liz Truss' cabinet and the overall upward mobility of minorities in the UK and explain how there's any credible argument of fascist/racist leadership that pervades (as opposed to harasses) UK society?

Yes. Interestingly, though, she was only the 3rd Queen in British history (Edit: Oops, ok, 6th actually. Edit 2: ok the point is that there have been many more kings than queens!). But since her reign was so long there are few people alive who can remember a king on the throne.

Long ago, I had the pleasure of being in a two car convoy in the Syrian desert looking for a particular castle deep and isolated in the desert (we were Foreign Service). We had the galley draft for Monuments of Syria as a guide. We were somewhat lost.

Over the horizon, we could see dust, then as the dust got closer, we could see a huge herd of camel headed straight for us. So we stayed put, ought to be interesting.

Probably about 300 camels. With two Bedu kids driving them. The oldest maybe 15 or 16 or so. The other probably about 14 years old. They stopped to gawk at us, just as we were gawking at them.

"How many camels do you have," we asked. They shrugged. "Where are you coming from?" we asked. They pointed behind them. "Where are you going?" They pointed in front of them. Then the oldest urged his mount forward, and we watched them disappear over the desert horizon.

Syria was one of the most interesting places in the world to visit before it came to its present heartbreaking condition.

Didn't know that either.
I remember clearly the time when Princess Diana died (1997). For me, it was THE moment when I understood the impact of the Internet. I was randomly browsing the web during the night in Mexico, and suddenly I started to see websites (I think Yahoo and MSN at that time) showing the news. I went to sleep without giving it too much attention.

Next day, all the news in my country were mentioning the death as breaking news. My mind was blown over how I knew about this very important event the night before Mexico TV broke the news.

May the Queen rest in Peace.

I would dislike if my text editor asked me to fill a survey and would definitely not respond, hopefully they find a better way to randomly sample but surely it's nice to have the random vs self-selected split, I wish the charts showed it better. I'm sure the sample is also heavily biased with non-Chinese respondents, golang seems to be getting really popular in China despite being long past peak popularity elsewhere, unfortunately the survey doesn't give many insights on that.

"OK, first we have very nice policies generous no-questions refunds, get a good word going. Then traction, then investment. Then, revenues, it's revenues all the way, growth man. And then you get a good multiplier on revenues because we can say we're tech for some fucked up reason. Like coupla degrees here n there some PhD's (this is why there's big-name university focus, there's better PhD's in Georgia Tech, but it's marketing) maybe then we can say it. Then...liquidity event. Then just juggle forever."

> Governments control everything.... they are slowly trying to block crypto too.

I'm always amazed that anyone thought cryptocurrencies would somehow be the one form of currency that wouldn't be regulated.

It's clear that crypto can't self-regulate, and continues to actively hurt lots of people. As of July, $1.9 billion in crypto has been "stolen" — up 60% from a year ago¹, in quotes because we know a good percentage of these were inside jobs.

Mentioned this elsewhere, but it belongs better here: If there's a market for a product that existing suppliers don't want to provide, that sounds like exactly what a startup should be doing.

Boom is wasting their time building an airframe but what they really need to win is an engine. They should have built the engine first.
Agreed.

The way I see it, rent controls are a punishment to the landlords for fighting against the construction of additional housing.

Real estate investment is a cancer. It creates such horrible perverse incentives that prevents a large chunk of the population from every being able to own the place they live. They'll be paying rent their entire lives.

And before someone accuses me of just being a sour renter, no, I own my home. I paid $338K for it in 2015, and it's now estimated to be worth $650K, and I think that's just stupid and bonkers. Many homeowners would probably cheer about that, but all I think about is how expensive all the homes in my neighborhood have gotten. If I was still working the same job I was in 2015, and my salary had merely kept up with inflation, I wouldn't be able to afford the house I'm in now at today's price, and that's just ludicrous to me.

> Python’s venv dance only really comes into play if you need a third-party dependency that you haven’t installed globally.

True. Though installing third-party dependencies globally is considered bad practice, since it can easily break system packages.

> The Go dance is always necessary, which makes it slightly more annoying for short scripts or tests.

Well, if you just want to compile/run a single file (or a couple of files) without third-party dependencies, `go build main.go` and `go run main.go` will work just fine, too.

For the first one, something between: “I was learning Rust on my spare time” and “I was working full time in a Rust-centric team”. And the second one is more subjective, about how confident you considered yourself with the language and how familiar you felt with its concepts.
Considering how things went with the fence in 24th St. when Ronen actually tried to "criminalize" something (https://twitter.com/HillaryRonen/status/1537599919090847745) I would say psychedelics are already decriminalized in the city wether the board instructs SFPD about making them "the lowest possible priority" or not.

that was the first thing I thought of. I know the owner means well but if reddit becomes a bigger target that it already is for mass marketers then the value of the reviews there become even less important as marketers dilute the reviews and it becomes a spiral into uselessness. Maybe it could be mitigated by adding things like "commenter history" and give commenters that have been around for a while with more comments a heavier weight that news accounts that seem to only post in one or two subreddits a couple of times and then disappear. Maybe somethings like

weight ~= max(num_months_existencenum_commentscomment_score, 0 account not active in the past year) or somesuch, obviously adjusted.

"Doesn't work" meaning "fails to achieve the stated objective".

Maybe you're asking why or how it doesn't work? It doesn't work because money is in some sense not what's really going on. Sowell's main point in the whole book is that in a free market economy, money is how we allocate scarce resources that have alternate uses. But the real action is the allocation of resources, not the money.

So if you institute rent control, you have not created any more housing. You have not increased the incentive for creating more housing. All you've done is allocate the existing housing a different way. (You've also created a disincentive to pay for proper maintenance on rent-controlled apartments.) You've moved the problem, helping those who are in the right position when rent control is enacted, at the expense of others. (Of course, those who are in the right position become major advocates of rent control, but that doesn't make it a good policy. It just makes it politically popular with the beneficiaries.)

[Edit: I don't have time to plow through the link you provided in your edit/update. But I think that for the specific issue you're trying to address, a pure subsidy might work better than rent control.]
The IRS has no jurisdiction with UK taxes. If you aren’t US citizens or permanent residents you aren’t subject to US taxes. The customer is not obligated under US law to comply with foreign tax obligations. Paying your taxes in the UK is your responsibility — your US customers have no obligation unless you are considered employees or they have a presence in the UK that creates a tax responsibility there (usually called “nexus”).

What professional insurance does a freelancer need? In 15 years freelancing I got asked about errors and omissions insurance exactly once. I told the customer they would have to cover that since it’s an unusual requirement. Larger companies and government agencies demand that kind of thing, not my customer base.
