> Seems more likely that sinking their fleet would cause them to use more and bigger nukes, and/or to sink every fleet of ours within missile range.

There’s no other choice, doing nothing signals to Russia that they can use nukes without repercussions and signals to the rest of the nuclear armed countries they can do the same.

You also assume Russia is capable of a strike against US fleets in any decent capacity when they cannot even capture a city less then 300km from there border and lost there Black Sea flag ship to a country with no functional navy.
Some canned foods are supposed to have an "indefinite" shelf life. I would guess they're hedging their bets by just saying 30 years. I have personally eaten 20 year old rolled oats that were not sealed in a steel can, and I did not die.

> the driver said he was headed to Starbucks and estimated he was going 55 mph. The speed limit was 40.

And the driver was not charged with a crime? In many countries if you drive over the speed limit and kill someone that's a manslaughter charge. Several countries always have a driver at fault if there is an accident with a bike or car.
When talking about the age of the Gilgamesh Epic in general, not about the age of one of its many version that have been created during many centuries, it is appropriate to refer to the earliest version, not to the much later version written in the standard Akkadian language.

As mentioned in the article, in the beginning there were 5 separate stories about various adventures of Gilgamesh, written in the Sumerian language, some time around 2200 BC to 2000 BC.

A few hundred years later (around the time of Hammurabi), some Old Babylonian writer has translated the Sumerian stories into Old Babylonian, while making various changes to them in order to make them fit into a single long epic.

The Old Babylonian writer has also written several other stories, which were interleaved between the Sumerian stories and which integrated everything into a coherent epic.

Hundreds of years later, the Old Babylonian version was modified into the standard version that is best known. That version was also modified later into various other versions, some of them being translated into various languages of the neighbors of the Akkadians.

While there are many other earlier writings that can be considered as works of literature, the 5 Sumerian stories about Gilgamesh are one of the earliest examples of writings that are of the epic kind, i.e. which describe the adventures of some fictional character.

Most of the older writings mentioned in the article are not of this kind, but they may be considered as lyric, didactic or historic.

Most stories that might be older than the 5 Sumerian stories about Gilgamesh are other Sumerian stories about their gods, most of them being stories about Inanna, as mentioned in the article.

However, the age of all these Sumerian stories is not known with certainty, just that they have been written some time in the second half of the third millennium BC.

Some of the other Sumerian stories might be even a few centuries older than the 5 Gilgamesh stories, but they might as well be of a similar age.

So when talking about the earliest literature of the epic kind, it is not possible to pinpoint which is the earliest known work, but one must give a list that contains the Sumerian stories of the 3rd millennium BC, including the 5 stories about Gilgamesh.

The Sumerian stories about Gilgamesh might be the earliest where the main hero is identified as a human, not as a god.

Truly proves the saying, "Get Woke, Go Broke". All this pearl-clutching over safety really did a disservice to them.

In all fairness, their release of Whisper[0] last week is actually really amazing. Like CLIP, it has the ability to spawn a lot of further research and work thanks to the open source aspect of it. I hope OpenAI learns from this, downgrades the "safety" shills, and focuses on producing more high-quality open source work, both code and models, which will move the field forward.

How, I dont see it?
The most effective terms of service need to deal with the specifics of what your business does - in other words, the core domain.

In the context of a typical startup, terms of service are essentially contracts between your business and your users, and there is a typical format for these types of contract. Most will start with an explanation of who the parties to the contract are and the defined terms that will be used throughout.

The main commercial terms come next - these are the ones that should deal with the specifics of your core domain. An effective lawyer should be discussing your business with you in depth to understand what it does, and to identify what (if any) legal rules will apply to it. For example, a startup selling travel policies in the UK may need to comply with ABTA requirements, whereas one selling directly to consumers (rather than to other businesses) would need to comply with any consumer contract regulations. Outside of specific legal requirements your lawyer should also consider how your business operates and the point at which liability might arise and how it could be mitigated. Looking at the startup from your profile, I would want to delve into topics such as “what happens if a comment is not recorded or displayed properly and this has consequences for the rest of the team” or “how do you maintain confidential information while sharing comments amongst users” etc.

The remainder of the terms need to deal with the general obligations that a company and user might have to one another (again using your startup - how and when is payment? What happens if payment is late? How long do you retain deleted account data?). There is also a bunch of more general contract law stuff which is often included (region dependant) which deals with issues like “where are disputes heard?” (the ‘jurisdiction’ clause) and “what happens if we don’t do something we said we will do on our terms?” (the ‘no waiver’ clause). This is commonly known as boilerplate and is often overlooked, sometimes with dire consequences.

It’s unfortunate but true that many lawyers will take on the job of drafting terms without even understanding the above separation of concerns and instead dish out a template which only really deals with parts 1 (who) and part 3 (general stuff). The real value of engaging a lawyer lies with complex domains (finance, IP, consumers). Your startup seems fairly straightforward and low risk to me and there is no reason you cannot draft a set of terms yourself to get going. I suggest looking at a few similar sites - not to copy but to understand how they do things and to then try and write your own using similar principles to those above. Probably the same way you read open source code to see how others do what they do.

For a simple comparison, consider this - terms of service are kind of like CRUD apps. There’s a server, a user, a bunch of boilerplate (auth, create, read, upload, delete) and then hopefully some detailed business logic which actually does something useful.

Really? What "privileges" exactly are they asking for? Because I can point to quite a few laws in quite a few conservative states that make being trans something you can be fired for, that make acknowledging the existence of LGBT people something that can get teachers fired, that make it legal to refuse to serve LGBT people.

So: List the privileges that LGBT people are requesting, that are not available to straight or cisgendered people. This should be very easy given your statement.
This is how hackers speak ;)

Hacker in the old meaning; someone who knows computers well, not someone who exploit this knowledge for greed.

When I bought my first computer, a VIC 20, I got so hooked that I hardly slept for several weeks. In that time I learned Basic, figured out software design and wrote my first application, a word processor. My next interesting application, ready a few years later was a multi-user BBS written in C for the QNX operating system. I know hackers from that time with skills magnitudes better than mine - and the all sound like that. If people on "Hacker News" can't tolerate hacker speak, then either they, or the hackers, don't really belong here.

Matter of fact, pretty much any other syntax turns out to be worse. Kids get excited about JSX and yaml, and I chuckle. They love everything JSON without even realizing how much better EDN is. It's more concise, much more readable and a lot simpler to work with. Lisp syntax can be read on a phone screen - it wraps around but remains readable. Good luck trying that with Python.

Using a computer monitor or specialist/signage TV is both expensive and offers a worse experience.

Eh, if you live in the US-centric info-sphere, you'd likely have that kind of a "good faith" opinion, but this is actually quite in line with their foreign policy patterns.

Please, the US IS NATO. What are they gonna do, go to war with the US, using it's own intelligence, military infrastructure and America's own military industrial complex for supply?

There are weird differences between publishers in different countries.

In Poland there is this weird contest of making books largest possible. Mandatory points are huge font, enormous margins, huge spaces between paragraphs and chapters always starting from new page. Preferably with some graphic on half of such starting page. Magnified if it's a children's book. Also polish stylistics use new line for each character speaking so short conversations can take many lines.

It is shocking when you take same book released in UK or US. It looks like at least cut in HALF and actually much easier to read.

This simple fact, and what it tells about what Ukraine means to Russia, never gets to western ears for some reason.

Did you found that solution after actually reading up about lives, opinions or attitudes of those people or you just imagined everything being the same (and uncertainty surrounding those)?

>> This is why we don't bomb Ukranian cities

>Ukranian cities are absolutely being leveled by Russian munitions.

It's at least interesting to see first hand how deeply delusional and deceived about reality so many Russian citizens act, that they could make such blatantly false easily disproven claims that fly in the face of the harsh undeniable reality and indisputable objective evidence that Putin has been bombing Ukrainian cities into the ground and mass murdering civilians.

It makes me wonder if they're willingly in on the lies and supporting and spreading them well knowing they're false out of a misguided sense of patriotism and loyalty to Putin (or simply fear and desperation?), the same way Trump supporters are LARPing by denying he lost the election and making contradictory claims like FBI planted evidence that Trump telepathically declassified anyway, when they know quite well that's a bald faced lie, or if they're actually as naive and gullible and easily deceived as they're acting.

Who do they actually think they're fooling by parroting ridiculous mendacious lies like "This is why we don't bomb Ukranian cities", if not only themselves?

It’s cool to see this on HN.

I originally wrote this article for a “microcourse” I ran at the University of St Andrews—aimed at a non-tech background—on building a personal webpage. Especially in mathematics, having a personal site (that you control) to host research and other information is pretty invaluable!

Older personal math sites tend to have a very particular “historic” feel. While I personally have a lot of nostalgia for the look, I also think it’s good to take advantage of some of the newer tools that are available today!
As a long time user of Boox Note Air, I would like to add my 2¢

Pros:

+ Excellent note taking with tons of cool features. I can also sync with Dropbox etc.

+ Great to write notes on book margins. PDFs + notations are great as well.

+ Libby + VÖBB library card is awesome. I can get tons of free eBooks and audiobooks from any library for which I've a card.

+ It's basically an Android tablet and I can do a lot of things like use KoReader or Bitwarden.

+ Great eReader as well. It's great to read books on a large eInk pad.

+ Kindle is just another app, turns it into a Kindle right away.

+ I can use it as drawing board and doodle on it during zoom meetings.

+ I can use it in split mode. like read a book and open notes on the side. Don't use it that often though.

Cons:

- Refresh rate is slow, non-reading activities are hard like YT

- Internet browsing exp is subpar, so I keep going back to my phone for doomscrolling.

- Chinese company that doesn't respect GPL.

- Weird navigation patterns, like swipe up on the bottom right to go back, WTF?

I mean I definitely have the skills to do these and have done it before. I even have my gaming pc connected to the tv all the time.

Is there any way to make a newer chromecast (the 4k/newer model with remote) behave like the old ones? I.e. completely skip the apps interface and simply work like a casting receiver?

I have zero interest in using apps, I just want to cast stuff from my phone. My old (non-4k) chromecast switched to the correct htmi input and started the TV when I started casting to it. The new white one doesn't even show a stream if you cast to it when in the "app" interface which is its default interface.

Instead you have to use the remote and leave the app interface first (go "out" to the photo/clock/screensaver interface which was default on older ChromeCasts), and only then you can cast to it? Am I misunderstanding something? Is there a configuration option to just make it a "dumb but 4k" chromecast, i.e. so that it boots up in the mode that accepts streaming?
It is OCaml with an alternative syntax.

Quite a few authors, including good ones, used LISP in the 1980's and into the 1990's.

Some examples:

Stuart C. Shapiro: LISP: An Interactive Approach (1986), Common LISP: An Interactive Approach (1992).

Robert Wilensky: Common LISPCraft (1986).

W. Richard Stark: LISP, Lore, and Logic: An Algebraic View of LISP Programming, Foundations, and Applications (1990)

Winston and Horn: LISP (1981-1989, 1st-3rd ed)

Steele's ClTl2 doesn't capitalize Lisp throughout the work per se, but the cover styles COMMON LISP in all caps. This leads to mistakes, like Amazon listing it as "Common LISP, The Language".

Yes. This is so important it's worth repetition. 'This is why we don't bomb Ukranian cities' is an untrue statement - among others. It isn't Western propaganda. As you put it 'Ukranian cities are absolutely being leveled by Russian munitions.'
I don't know why they don't just go the whole hog and require full disclosure, at least internally. For many companies, for some of the groups listed, this will defacto be the case (if you're the only Chinese Woman at your 100 person company, your salary is now public record).

Doing this would enable people to negotiate more effectively, require management to actually justify their decisions and has been shown to reduce actual pay gaps where they occur.

Maybe that's too far too fast? But it is where we should be aiming.
