> Thinking that Jews should have special rights in Israel by necessity means that Jews should have less rights outside of Israel.

I Never said that, and I really don't think it follows that Jews outside Israel should have less rights because of what goes on in Israel. Making that implication is considered anti-Semitic which you are obviously not.

All I said is that there is a specific Jewish identity just like there is a Palestinian identity. You are welcome to think that Jews should leave Israel or whatever, that still doesn't negate the fact that Jews have a unique identity.

This is completely wrong.
I support it, as long as you’re well compensated and you like it. I think due to wanting to “stick it to the man” there can be too much anti-work sentiment.

It’s okay if it’s a throw away side project but not okay if it’s for your employer? Wat. Seems like a silly distinction and backward if anything.

I definitely don’t work as much as you but I also love my work and work random odd hours and sometimes voluntarily extra. I like it and it’s definitely paid of dividends for my career growth.
The roads in the red zone are no longer maintained. It's surprising how quickly road condition deteriorates.
So a consumer of free web content, with no rights or claim to it, is ticked because a company:

* Spent its money;

* Acquired the rights to the content; and

* Went in a direction the consumer didn't like.

That's a pretty remarkable level of entitlement on display.

Sometimes words have inflections, implicit, or multiple meanings in different contexts. The point of using a word from another language is to emphasize the meanings that it evokes beyond the literal, and always inadequate, translations. The simplest example I know of in Japanese is "hai", which literally translated means "yes", but はい doesn't necessarily signal agreement. Take the english word, "okay". Depending on the context and how it's said, it can mean simple acknowledgement or something closer to WTF.

Of course people who think the literal translation is the meaning will miss the connotations.

It's a reference to the emoji aka unicode character "HUGGING FACE" / U+1F917.

I also assumed it was a reference to "facehuggers" when I heard about the site mentioned, until I visited and saw the emoji displayed prominently on their webpage.
The US is more litigious than many countries. For example, on page 5 of this paper (http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/olin_center/papers/pdf/R...), one can see that the US has over 2x the number of lawsuits per capita than France, and 4x of Canada.

>if you get an MBA from Stanford GSB/Harvard BS you can join as an associate at McKinsey/Bain/BCG, then jump to Apple/Google/Netapp as a VP/Senior Director of Strategy

This is laughably inaccurate. Or maybe the big three have done such a great job at marketing that people on HN think this. To bring things back to reality, your typical MBA associate joining a top 3 consulting firm is going to be at roughly the same level as an equivalent MS grad and/or someone with a few of years of tech experience joining FAANG. i.e., Someone in the L4-L5 territory based on profile variations. Nobody is jumping from associate to VP.

> What if the software requires a lot more work before it becomes valuable?

Then you haven't broken the problem into small enough pieces. You're not trying to deliver a finished product, only something that can allow vested interests to gain a better picture of what is being built, enabling them to provide feedback early.

If you are building ChatGPT and deliver a simple speaker amplifier that will be used to allow the humanoid robot to be able to provide sound, someone can say "That's neat, but how about a text field in a web browser instead?" If you wait years until the entire humanoid robot is working, you've wasted all that time before getting the feedback that all you really needed was a text field in a web browser.

> What if the software is running in a car? A plane? A bank? A pacemaker? A power plant?

What if? If you are working on developing software for a car, you don't think you won't have a car to install it on to allow the vested parties to see it? Or, at very least, some kind of car simulator that achieves the same effect?

Surely this can’t be true. Where I live Weyerhaeuser has crazy pines that grow faster than any normal tree you have ever seen. They cut them all down and replant at rapid rate. I know they have to be genetically modified in some way and I don’t think it is just normal breeding. My brother’s gf’s Mom worked for them sharpening the saw blades in the mills and she was telling them about them. You can see them grow when you drive by for more than a few years and it is very impressive.

This was in 1987 and they are talking about introducing genes.-

I mean... if the compiler isn't smart enough to see what you were trying to do and generate some ridiculously fast implementation, is it truly worthy of being called "sufficiently advanced"? ;P You just know someone is going to try to add in an LLM-based (note the lack of a V there) compiler pass that says "give me a faster algorithm that does the same thing as this function" (and then all hell will break loose when it starts injecting random bullshit into the function it sort of grokked, or decides your code is for some evil ad company and deletes it on purpose... oh, wait: maybe this is a great idea).

Plus I don't think those resources would have mattered to much; you're still giving up the bragging rights of having been there first.

> The thing is, this is on a Mac that has scroll bars that are invisible until you scroll.

I try to live with the defaults as it makes switching machines so much less painful, however turning scroll bars in is an absolute requirement for sane usage. At least you don’t have to do it in Terminal anymore.

Edit: I can’t find any evidence that the preference could only be toggled via Terminal in some macOS versions. I’m thought that around version 10.6 this was the case, but maybe I’m wrong?

The article mentions feeding periods of <4.5 hours, which is a well known intermittent fasting protocol, which I have already defined. You have willfully ignored that, suggesting you might not respect my time or the truth.

I caution you that you are using a nonstandard definition of fasting that does not include all the currently recognized forms of intermittent fasting. Nor have you presented a definition of intermittent fasting - it's likely your definition is too narrow to cover the current practices.

I refer you once more to the wikiepdia article on IF (which leads . Again, the relevant term is "Daily Restricted Feeding". That information is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting

It's entirely fair to regard the current research as having to do with Daily Restricted Feeding, which is a form of IF.

And yes, the article does not mention snacking. I was simply claiming that some IF protocls even allow light snacks, to help persuade you that IF protocols are more diverse that you think.

The goal of these protocols is to reduce things like insulin resistance, which happens when the body is in a physiologically fasted state. Some nutritionists claim a snack under 50 cals won't compromise the outcomes, supposedly because the 50 cals is too small to physiologically break the fast.

This is informally called the "50 calorie rule", and it's relevant because the IF community and nutritionists sometimes endorse it. The point was to communicate that there is a variety of IF protocols beyond what you recognize as fasting.

I will say that it's frustrating for me that you dispute well known concepts and trends in the nutrition community - at least acknowledge what I am saying, and give counter arguments if you disagree. If you can't, I will conclude your motivation here has to do with something other than seeking the truth about our state of understanding of IF. If that's the case, lets end the convo.
It's fun to pretend there's a vast conspiracy in between you and your policy goals, but usually what's really happening is that most people don't care about your particular policy objectives. Nobody cares about term limits. There are opinion polls that say otherwise, but they're not measuring the salience of the issue. People have a stated (bullshit) preference, and then the preference they reveal when they reelect Chuck Grassley for the 9th time.

To reliably hit dates, scope of effort must be well understood and it cannot change once a commitment is given.

The former is (generally) within the control of the team who is responsible for hitting the date. The latter, (generally) is not.

Cloud storage is already distributed, reliable, and secure. It allows you to do multi-region replication just fine, and the data loss SLOs (14 9's) are actually serious. Even if you are paranoid about security, encrypt with a key you hold before you upload it and you're fine - you need to do this with blockchain storage anyway, because all of the stored data blocks are publicly readable.

There's no free lunch of course, you pay for all of these services. It is much cheaper to just use a NAS at home. However, the market provides those services I'm the most efficient form possible, which means that no blockchains are involved in commodity services.

I don't think the commenter is proposing banning exports of food to the rest of north america or other US territories (the non continental us territories/states are too small to even be important).

The exports to be concerned about the ones going to non-North American areas, especially alfalfa. I don't want people in developing nations to starve, but the truth is the current agricultural output is unsustainable which is bad for global food security in the long run.

Two words--Value erosion.

A lacklustre catalog (except the occassional interesting ones), poor originals, price increases over the years and customer unfriendly moves--all these seem to have made Netflix lose sight of what their customers want.

I would even say that they are on their way to becoming the Blockbuster videos of the 21st century and their new policies are as customer unfriendly as the notorious "late fees" of the bankrupt Blockbuster videos that Netflix had disrupted as an upstart in the late nineties with their dvd-rental-by-mail service.

I had canceled my netflix sub and haven't regretted it.

First, Western economies are cyclical, this is a low-point, so we have to kind of average over time, and we have to account for 'surpluses'.

'Walmart' standard of living is basically magnificent for anyone living in 1980 for example. Almost 'upper class'.

It's unthinkable the quality, quantity and amazing expression of goods, selection that you can get in Walmart now, compared to 'average shopper' in 1980.

Fish, lobster, sushi, vast array of breads, fruits out of season, innumerable array of packaged foods, toys and sports equipment as far as they eye can see, clothing that costs as much as a coffee. etc. and technologies that we could not have dreamed of.

I'm not saying there isn't a problem, I'm just pointing out two areas, the later of which is generally overlooked.
There's a spot near me where Google maps navigation would send people on a left turn down a block and then right on an unpaved road for a block to avoid a traffic light. The 'shortcut' let out on a busy two-lane street with poor sightlines where making the left turn was dicey at best.

Eventually the city put up permanent traffic barriers to prevent the left turn, and the people living on that street rejoiced.

Consider reaching out to a university professor in the relevant field, and asking if they'd be willing to take on a small consulting project. I suspect that $50-$150/hour will get you a long way.

The most common example is aliasing. Since the rust type system promises that you won't have two mutable aliases to the same data, even data coming from an unknown caller, the compiler can in theory make optimizations that aren't possible in other languages that permit multiple mutable aliases.

Especially for values that cross the boundaries of compilation units, the compiler in another language cannot possible have enough information to know if aliasing could occur.
"It takes real skill to teach well."

Agreed.
RPC in general failed for two reasons:
1. Synchronous in an async environment
2. Brittle client/server coupling of RPC definitions

HTTP is a remote procedure call, it's request/response.

Each request/response pair is independent and asynchronous.

The difference between HTTP and a more "specified" RPC is that the body of the request and the body of the response are defined "out of band" and are flexible enough to allow for the client and the server to evolve independently.

I could make HTTP look like ONC-RPC by using XDR to martial the arguments in the request/response body and map the actual procedure name to the URL. The MIME type "application/protobuf" exists to do the same using protobufs. So does "applicaton/vnd.google.protobuf".

HTTP was built using TCP as the reliable connection layer over the IP packet protocol but QUIC replaces that using UDP over IP to remove the problems that a connection based/reliable protcol like TCP causes.

Really not sure what a new protocol would provide other than shuffling the boundaries again.
