[Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized](https://youtu.be/BT5L4YU_Fl4)

Watch it, the documented evidence recorded about 1000x of the evidence you asked for. You keep asking for evidence just to ignore it and then absurdly keep asking for the evidence which has already been given, it's actual insanity.

> I see Israel taking great care to avoid civilian casualties.

Anyone who has studied this conflict knows this to be utterly false, even an outright lie.

"Noam Chomsky: Israel’s Actions in Palestine are “Much Worse Than Apartheid” in South Africa" (https://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/8/noam_chomsky_what_isra...)

>Hamas on the other hand fires rockets and mortars at residential areas. That latter is clearly terrorism.

Israel does the same and even much worse. The evidence has been documented, just because you keep ignoring it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
The documented casualty numbers make this crystal clear.

>Show me an example like that from Israel - that would be rare. That's why they're not a terrorist state.

I already delivered the evidence, you are just wilfully ignorant and choose to be blind to the documented evidence. Keep shilling, no educated human being will buy your washed up zionist propaganda - the documented evidence is just spread too far and wide with the help of the internet esp. with youtube, even if shills like cnn/bbc try their hardest to manipulate the people - it ain't working anymore.

>Your personal attacks are childish.

No, your behavior and rhetoric are childish, no one should be asked to deal with such obvious deception and gaslighting, yet here I am dealing with your shenanigans.
I think highly accountable tech CEOs with experience managing large organizations, and executing long term visions, are in shorter supply than you suggest.

But to bring it back to the context here. The shareholders can fire a CEO, but he runs the company. If you don't know who that person should be, or what traits they should have differently, I don't think it would be that valuable to have voting rights.
Hello everyone, I wanted to know if you believe in having KPIs for your dev teams?

I have written a blog summarizing the best ways to figure out KPIs that matter to your org and the top KPIs that I have seen working with other engineering teams.

Do spare a few minutes on this article and let me know what you think about it.

PS: I am one of the founders at AnalyticsVerse (an analytics tool for engineering leaders), however, this post has no promotional content, and I genuinely want to understand what the community thinks about this.
Ummm... this doesn't sound like they are describing the same thing. No one is arguing that our immune systems have "shut down". The argument is that the immune system hasn't been keeping up on exposures.

Agreed. Moving my Python data analytics to a GRPC server that I call from a Go service has been _so much_ easier to manage and debug.
> it depends on what you're implementing them in, but in a term-rewriting language all you need is the two lines above

Okay, so what do I type those two lines into to implement that? How many lines of code does that involve?

> more recently i implemented a term-rewriting language in i386 assembly, it's about 800 bytes and 400 instructions: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/qfitzah.s but i haven't quite figured out how to handle arithmetic, i/o, and variadic lists

Have you considered having a parameter stack that arithmetic operators pull their arguments from and push their results onto? Oh wait... ;-)
I wonder what's different about my setup. I've tried deleting and re-installing Mailplane and tried it on two different M1s (my personal MBA and my work 16" MBP). On both, there is significant lag in the UI. Just using the j/k keys to move up/down the message list it takes like 500 ms for the selected row to change.

I use non-default Gmail UI settings. I'm still using the classic theme, dense settings, etc. I'll try again, because I'd really like to use Mailplane as long as it will survive.

I'm aware why Mailplane has been EOL'd. But the developer also claims he's trying to keep it alive as long as possible and he's released at least one version since that blog post, so I'd hoped he would be willing to release a universal build. I don't know anything about the internals of Mailplane but I guess it's a non-trivial amount of work to do so.
a) They are similar products banks/certain financial institutions utilize right now, just with corporate debt -- oh what can go wrong in a recession, right?

b) Bank runs happened in 2008 (U.S.), 2010-12 etc.
A lot of crypto companies buy insurance similar to what the government says, but lacking regulation and the government behind you makes it as you said problematic.

But: banks are years old and keep making the same mistakes and failures. Big banks (not your corner side community bank that acts as intermediate and its job is community welfare and good relations) haven't changed. I'd be surprised if we avoid another bank related incident, if we enter a recession.

A long time ago computers were mostly used to run local, trusted, programs. Now they run remote, untrusted, code and this is considered a feature. And this remote code needs a powerful machine that's why the interface is kept to a minimum.

Part of the benefit of Markdown is that you can view the raw source and still get useful info out of it. But this site prerendered the Markdown and served HTML which defeats part of the purpose.

A better option would be to use something like https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ and serve the MD/HTML file. Then you can get a client-rendered HTML (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/features.md.html) or view the raw MD (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/features.md.html?noforma...) if the browser doesn't support HTML.

Markdeep is good at progressively mixing HTML & MD so you can choose how much of each to put in to your page. I use it for mostly MD + MathJax notes + some HTML/JS/SVG/Canvas/WebGL for when I want dynamic graphics in my notes.

Some combination of "angry" grilles and the pseudo-anonymity of driving makes people act like complete animals. A fun one I noticed was driving to the beach this summer. In the parking lot, there was a tension in the air that a fight could break out at any second for a parking spot. People were driving aggressively, cutting each other off, honking, having their passengers get out and stand in a spot to "claim" it, etc.

Then, they got out and walked 50m to the beach. Instead of fighting for a "spot" people just move along peacefully. There was no tension, no aggression, just a few thousand people getting sunburnt in peace.

I'm not sure what the point is, but it really made me think about how strange our behaviour is. As soon as we're back in "human scale" environments, we go back to behaving like humans.

> The former is actually being used to run businesses

run businesses? to say nothing about whether those businesses are sustainable or actually generating wealth & human prosperity. if you look at all the worst aspects of the economy, they're based in expansionary monetary policy and high time preference

> inflation as the thing that keeps money in circulation

it keeps people spending money on usually wasteful things and incentivizes the consumption of cheap goods, if you want an economy built on prosperity and enduring goods, you need to actually incentivize saving (not wasteful consumerism)
Here's an article with more details

https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/10/23451198/twitter-ftc-elo...

Twitter is under an onerous FTC consent decree that could lead to billions in fines, but is being ignored and/or attempting to pass responsibility off on individual engineers

https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cases/2010...

Here’s part of the internal Slack message sent by a leader on Twitter's legal team:

> Over the last two weeks. Elon has shown that he cares only about recouping the losses he’s incurring as a result of failing to get out of his binding obligation to buy Twitter. He chose to enter into that agreement! All of us are being put through this as a result of the choices he made.

> Elon has shown that his only priority with Twitter users is how to monetize them. I do not believe he cares about the human rights activists. the dissidents, our users in un-monetizable regions, and all the other users who have made Twitter the global town square you have all spent so long building, and we all love.

> I have heard Alex Spiro (current head of Legal) say that Elon is willing to take on a huge amount of risk in relation to this company and its users, because “Elon puts rockets into space, he’s not afraid of the FTC.” I have heard another leader in the Legal department say that because of the tight SLA’s (of two weeks?!) between product inception > launch, Legal will “have to shift the burden to engineers” to self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws. This will put huge amount of personal, professional and legal risk onto engineers: I anticipate that all of you will de pressured by management into pushing out changes that will likely lead to major incidents.

> All of this is extremely dangerous for our users. Also, given that the FTC can (and will!) fine Twitter BILLIONS of dollars pursuant to the FTC Consent Order, extremely detrimental to Twitter’s longevity as a platform. Our users deserve so much better than this.

> If you feel uncomfortable about anything you’re being asked to do, you can call Twitter’s Ethics Hotline at (800) 275-4843 or submit a report at ethicshelpline.twitter.com. Please also note the FTC’s number is: 1-877-FTC-HELP. You may also remember that Mudge reached out to httos://whistlebloweraid.org

> I wish you all luck. It’s been such an honor to work with all of you. And I’ll be taking a day of PTO today.

Edit:

The FTC has now made a statement

https://twitter.com/cat_zakrzewski/status/159074977361917132...

> "We are tracking recent developments at Twitter with deep concern. No CEO or company is above the law, and companies must follow our consent decrees."

Ha, I predicted this would happen although I was wrong about the timing; I thought it might happen with Ian.

This was, in my view, probably deliberate. Artemis I is unflyable. It's also past its sell-by date: it has been stacked for far longer than the design limit permits. From a safety engineering perspective it is now a slag heap. It should never be permitted to be filled with volatile chemicals and pointed at the sky.

But it is too politically sensitive to kill. It is Congress' baby. It will be put through a launch attempt, no matter how ill-advised. So what is a fearful NASA underling to do? Simple! Permit the rocket to undergo some public mishap which can later be blamed for the inevitable pad failure.
As many as the author of the article: none. The most recent amendment to the US Constitution passed in 1992, when the author was four. I do have the advantage of US citizenship and living in America rather than in Russia.

You didn't deliver the withering comeback you think you did. Very few people have passed amendments to the Constitution or had anything to do with that process. But the history of intellectual property law in the US can fairly well inform someone familiar with US law and history that equating it to slavery -- which the US had a literal civil war over -- and trying to get support for amending the Constitution to ban IP will get exactly nowhere.

(I worked in equity options market making in the past)

I'm not sure this is such a good idea.

Professional companies that do equity options market making have major natural advantages over you:

- They are at the front of the line of any order if they're on the NBBO, so they're going to capture the spread

- They get order flow from offline brokers, which tends to be high volume and have higher edge

- They do gobs of volume every day and hope to make a fraction of a penny per transaction.

- A typical market maker makes markets in 500+ stocks at any one time. Good luck doing that on your own.

- They've invested in being as physically close to the actual exchanges as possible so that they can be first to respond

- They're rarely greeks neutral beyond delta

- As registered market makers, they have tax advantages you do not

The great thing about options, like sports gambling, is you can find an option play that will give you whatever odds you want.

You can bet the underlying goes up, that it doesn't go up, that it moves in either direction, that it doesn't move in either direction.

There are plenty of 90% odds option plays. Keep in mind there's a big difference between odds and expected value.
> What can I do with FTT?

Sell it to someone else.
These comments are right on! Options are great, if you take the time to learn about them & spend time making very small bets with them as you learn.

If you use them correctly, they can reduce your risk & increase your upside. I've been learning & using them for a few years as kind of a side hobby. My small options portfolio has outperformed my index fund retirement portfolios that I don't touch in good times & bad.

I wouldn't recommend them though for anyone who needs to read the above article or anyone who doesn't invest a lot of time learning about options & keeping up to date with the companies they're investing in, the overall market & upcoming events that will adjust the mark.

Though I do agree with the article that the goal of options is usually not to get rich but to decrease your downside & possibly add a small amount of income.

English plural vs Latin vs Greek. Since its origin is Greek I’d take the anglicized plural or the original plural over the superimposed Latin plural which makes absolutely no sense to me.
My own anecdotes:

- I have a ~20-month-old in daycare. He brings something home every couple weeks. This is our first child so I have no idea if this is normal or unique to this time period.

- Coworkers with children seem to be dealing with a lot more "wow that wiped us out for a week" type of symptoms versus the typical "sniffles and sore throat" symptoms associated with the common cold.

- I have had two cold/flu type bugs this year (not COVID, confirmed by at-home tests) that put me on my ass for a few days. I haven't had that happen in 10+ years.

Extra context: I am vaccinated for COVID, yet I still had COVID this past year. COVID was mild, mostly achy/headache-y that lasted about 2 days. No breathing issues or loss of smell/taste. I attribute that to the vaccination.
I did not get my flu shot yet this year but am planning to do so.

What story is that? Are you sure you aren't misparaphrasing the fact that kids are not susceptible to severe outcomes?
Indeed, putting more money in people's pockets literally increases prices through higher demand.

Here in Germany they have an influenza monitor, that fortunately was unaffected by all the political COVID theatre. They constantly analyze random samples sent in from participating clinics to detect the prevalence of different types of virii in the population. This gives quite good data (and probably for that reason was not used during Covid).

Current data shows that influenza is back, but not yet with a vengeance. Predominant type is H3N2 and mainly children 0-4 are affected. SARS-CoV-2 only has a small share.

I don't know anything about Android or iOS coding but...

I'm actually very suprised it's coded the way it is, a stack of screens that are dismissed over the top of each other. I would expect one very specific boolean/flag bottleneck that says if the device is locked or unlocked. Then a list of actions that can be taken when locked (such as sim pins, emergency calls etc) and then unlocked (such as everything else). And that flag can only be flipped by unlocking the phone. This set of screens on top of the phone that can be dismissed is very surprising to me.

Does anyone know how the iOS lock screen works? Is it the same way?
There were people (I’m people) saying this a long time ago. It became obvious that the only value of masking and lockdowns was to avoid short term hospital overflows and such measures should only have been in effect for a period of weeks during a few spikes. Otherwise the only thing anybody was doing is delaying when not if they got covid by up to two years.

But covid measures became irrational.

This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.

If you are porting this to a machine that has problems with overlapping
bcopy's, watch out!

There are two documents on xterm: the man page, xterm.man, which describes
how to use it, and ctlseqs.ms, which describes the control sequences it
understands.
Crypto set out on a bold mission to prove that government shouldn't be involved in the money supply --- and ended up demonstrating just the opposite.
The only thing I ever use async in Python for is batch requests, like hundreds or thousands of little requests. I collect them up in a task list with context, run them with one of the “run all of these and return the results or errors” functions in the library, then process the results serially.

Anything I need to do that doesn’t use this simple IO pattern, like cpu bound workers, I prefer to use processes or multiple copies of the app synchronized with a task queue.
Philosophical bullshitting aside (and it really is philosophical bullshitting), I just genuinely don't care if a human or a machine "think" or "learn" in the same way.

I don't want Github or any other megacorp-backed entity abusing the open source community in the way micro$oft is here, it's as simple as that. If they wish to train it on entirely proprietary Microsoft code, then by all means go nuts, but to take the work of open source projects and to hide behind the pretense of the mathematical model behind the A"I" learning something is simply ridiculous to me.

I find it quite curious that they're not doing that (training it on their own codebase). Perhaps they're afraid of their little intelligence spitting out proprietary code verbatim like it's been shown to do many times with licensed open source code.
