The work is meant to give them a routine and responsibilities. As they would have outside of the prison. Many prisons have the option to forego work and pursue education as well. I'm sure some prisons are not like this, but not all.

As others have pointed out, targetting recidivism rates would probably be the best way to tackle this problem. This means things like not allowing for discrimination on employment opportunities, a right to be forgotten, among other things.

Getting out of prison and being unable to secure a job is a huge problem. Of course they will go back to crime. It's not like going to a medium or low security prison is anything more than adult summer camp anyway.
I have to imagine that faced with the choice of US bases scattered across Europe vs Chinese bases, most Europeans would choose Pax Americana. It's probable that under Pax Sinica, you wouldn't even be able to have this conversation.

Europe's gratitude toward the American military-industrial complex is not required, the US gets plenty out of the deal. However the only realistic alternative for Europeans is to expand their own, and boy does that come with a lot of downsides.
9 out of 10 "new old stock" chips on sites like Alibaba are harvested from ewaste. The "recycling" process generally involves workers holding old circuit boards over open fires to melt the solder, and then banging the boards against the ground to knock the chips out. After that, the recyclers sand off the old chip markings, cover the tops of the chips with a tar-like material, and laser on new chip markings (this makes sure that when you buy 100 chips from a seller, they all have the same markings and date code). Since they're applying new markings, they can also take the liberty of making the chips into more expensive versions, such as by increasing the rated clock speed or by labeling consumer versions of chips as milspec or radiation hardened versions. This may be fine if you just want an old chip for a hobby project or something, but for repairing military equipment you want chips with a verifiable chain of custody.

> The returns from that sovereign wealth fund are already included in the GDP figures.

No, they aren’t (except that the production that produces them is, for domestic investments), because investment returns aren’t finished goods and services, and GDP is the aggregate value of finished goods and services produced. Counting investment returns on top of that would be double counting for domestic investment, and counting something completely outside for foreign investments.
I'm not a staunch Palestine supporter, but I'd say that most of those retaliations take form of collective punishment.

True, but oceans only evaporate from the surface while the air retains moisture by volume. There is considerably more low, warm air than there is ocean surface.

>Enough allusions to a nebulous solution that must surely somehow exist. How would you represent Excel to a user that is not sighted?

A voice presents the information structurally top-down recursively as needed. That's it. Braille displays may also be used. If the excel is unstructured, an inclusive organization makes sure such files are documented. Soon an LLM may describe the structure. And don't underestimate peoples intelligence if they happen to be alone without documentation, structure can be extrapolated. Let's not pretend things are impossible that aren't. A simple screen reader gets a lot done here.

>surely the goal is for the utility to be the same?

Not for the methods to be the same, the goal is for the output to be the same. To consider the majority's way of doing things the correct way is sort of discriminatory. To cram people with different needs into an existing framework doesn't always work, rather you have to meet their needs so they can provide the same value in alternative ways.

Apple wants the iPad OS developer experience to be bad

Their #1 focus is lock-in, preventing being commodified, and extracting value

No apps that run operating systems, no apps with windowed environments, no app-store-like apps / third party app stores, no browser engines, no Flash, terrible mobile safari experience, no OS mods / jailbreaks, no desktop-style cursors, physical iPad keyboards lacking escape keys. Wanting 30% of all payments for digital goods that occur on an iPhone.

Being able to eg "run Docker on your iPad" would go against all that. I think it's also a big part of why they charge $99/yr for being a developer - otherwise people would be able to sideload apps much more easily

Nice article related to this: https://subconscious.substack.com/p/aggregators-arent-open-e...

Hard to imagine just how different things might be right now if things were more open. iPhones are always on and connected to the internet - you could run servers from them! maybe mesh networking could actually be a thing?

The mother of all demos would not be allowed on the app store. Squeak/smalltalk would not be allowed. Feels disrespectful to humanity that the most popular platform in the US is so locked down. Idk how things would change here without government intervention -- this all seems to be in shareholders' interests.

Seems like a good time to be running a competitor. iOS being so locked down means they'll have lackluster support for the long tail of desired AI use cases. And cross platform development via react native is really good now, imo.

A lot of things that one would use bash for involve servers, and there's Ansible for that, no need to use bash directly most of the time. If it were up to me, distros would include Ansible out of the box.

Outside of servers.... nobody uses Linux except embedded systems and FOSS enthusiasts. Nobody is paying me to do FOSS work, so I can just pretend that Pythonless systems don't exist.

Python does have some version compatibility issues, but for the most part it's stable, and at least it will crash with a traceback not a cryptic error code because you used some utility that had some nonstandard syntax for the flags.

On embedded, most of what you're doing is probably simple enough that if you do need to use sh you won't absolutely scream.

The republican primaries are not rigged. The previous elites of the party didn't want Trump in 2016. Republican voters, however, did.

Americans really love to twist themselves in knots to excuse their own laziness with respect to politics. "Oh look at how dysfunctional the government is, but there's nothing we can do about it."

2016 pretty clearly made it clear that at the end of the day, its the people of the US who hold power in their country.

I went to a few MDs as well, for what presented like de quervain's tenosynovitis. It was only in my right hand, thankfully, so I could still mouse with my left. I also could use nothing but a split keyboard, which made it tough to use a laptop. And I could no longer use my phone with my right hand either. But after a while, I started getting symptoms in my left as well.

Obviously, no where near as bad as your case, but there nonetheless, for years. MD after MD told me there was nothing wrong with my hand, so nothing they could do.

Finally, after no longer being able to trust my right hand at all, because it would just randomly let go of whatever I was holding, no matter what size object, I finally went to a DO who takes a wholistic approach. After a few sessions of soft tissue therapy, involving massage, scraping and cupping, combined with stretching and strength training exercises, I'm pretty much back to normal. He worked from my neck down, to get the nerves to "floss" correctly through my system, down to my hand.

I've now moved past the treatment part, but as long as I maintain the daily stretches and strength training, both hands are pretty much back to normal. I do have minimal pain in the right hand if I have a particularly grueling work week, but I'm back to using normal keyboards and even laptop keyboards. And I can mouse and use my phone with my right hand again. I can even trust my right hand to not drop things anymore.

Of course, YMMV, but traditional doctors couldn't get the job done for me. I'm so grateful it didn't discourage me after a years long journey, and I'm grateful for the wholistic approach that worked.
I'm not invested in either side, but the fundamental issue is that the Gaza zone is neither an independent state nor a province of 'democratic' Israel, so either (1) Israel grants all Gaza residents citizenship status and allows them to vote in Israeli national elections or (2) Gaza becomes an independent country with its own ports and control of its borders. Israel appears fundamentally opposed to both solutions, for various reasons (but this also undermines Israel's claim to 'democratic governance').

As it stands today, Gaza is just an open air prison controlled by Israel, whose and Gaza residents have no legal rights (e.g. innocent victims of Israeli bombings can hardly sue the Israeli government in Israeli courts for damages, etc.).

The fact that both sides in the conflict have extremist religious fundamentalists in their ranks calling for genocide of the opposition doesn't help matters, either - but this is a problem across the entire Middle East, which looks a bit like medieval/feudal Europe of 300 years ago in that respect.

I’ll take a stab at it:

I don’t think people are saying Israel shouldn’t defend themselves, it’s more about why the strikes are happening in the first place. It’s like if Russia built a giant defense system to keep out Ukrainian missiles. The problem isn’t that they’re defending themselves it’s what they’re doing to provoke it.

As for why the attacks are happening, like you said it s a very complicated issue. But in essence Israel has kicked a bunch of Palestinians out of their homes and illegally annexed their land, in violation of international law. They’ve also continued to violate the human rights of the Palestinians that remain.

To be clear, I am speaking for pretty much all “car guys” to say we also hate popcorn tunes and stance too. These are both (inter-related) trends only popular with the very young and very low class promulgated via Tik Tok.

No “car guy” is impressed by a busted up 20 year old BMW 318i with a popcorn tune, straight pipes, and rep wheels, but there’s a lot of barely 20-somethings who think it’s cool yet don’t know the first thing about how cars work.
I think I remember reading some studies about noise pollution back when I was studying psychology. Anxiety and stress is consistently higher among people that live near high noise pollution, even though they don’t complain about the noise, or even claim to notice it any more than people living in low noise environments.

In short, even though you got used to the noise, your brain didn’t.

> (disclaimer: I don't mean to shit all over your lawncare - I just find the impulse kind of funny. It's fine that you like a pristine lawn, to each their own).

Nah, no offense taken. And I would like to clarify what I mean. I think large swaths of perfectly uniform and healthy grass looks very nice. I even think it's commendable when people put in the time and energy (and gather the knowledge) to maintain their lawn to this high standard. I would say I'm about 1/2 to 2/3rds to that extreme. I can live with some dandelions, clover, a few bare spots, etc. I find you need to increase effort exponentially to maintain a lawn to a high standard. So I commiserate with the "no-lawn" movement from a "remove things that need maintenance" perspective.

I also think people have lots of unknown biases when it comes to lawns. In particular geography. I live somewhere pretty green. I'm on well water. For all intents and purposes water is a free, unlimited resource for me. I think many people here are from west coast or even just cities so they come to this discussion with the assumption that water is scarce.

> Not even a majority now, retrospectively, even wanted to leave the EU.

There was a democratic vote in which a majority wanted to leave. Until such a vote is repeated, this is the current state of things. If there was a majority of people in the UK that wanted to join, there’s nothing stopping them from doing so, the EU would probably happily welcome the UK back, albeit on different terms.

You can hate your government all you want, but this is what the majority wanted and supposedly currently wants.
Hey All, author here. AWS Doc Extractor clones all github aws docs and finds all *Note-able* admonitions (as well as Important, Considerations, etc) and compiles it all in one place. It is then published as a gitbook at (https://awsnotes.dendron.so).

This project exists because I observed that any section of the AWS docs that start with a *Note* was something that was worth paying attention to. These sections documented gotchas, limits, and other caveats of a particular service. When not observed, they can take anywhere on the order of hours to weeks to work around.

Ironically, AWS has made an announcement yesterday to retire the github docs (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/retiring-the-aws-documentat...) which means I'll need to invest in adding a page scraping component to this project after June to keep docs up to date
I'm using it in a personal project. I wanted something extensible, and ad hoc, and RDF is certainly that. But it's also typed, which is nice. I can add my own types (I may do that, not sure yet).

I am not well versed in the other RDF technologies. I haven't paid any attention to ontologies, or OWL or any of that stuff. I just use raw RDF, and defined my own vocabularies for everything, including structure. For example, I have my own type property. RDF also has one, but I just made my own. I have my own structure system to mostly bring order to how things are displayed, or created, etc. I am pretty much as far from the semantic web as you can get.

Since everything is "just a triple" it makes it easy to share data. So, it'll be straight forward to import and export artifacts out of my system and share them with others.

And I get SPARQL "for free", so even after new data structures are added, they're still queried like the first class ones the tool already knows about. SPARQL is pretty neat.

At the moment, I have a mostly complete RDF CRUD tool, with some first class interface prototypes (by first class I mean I have forms and UI specifically for those data types, rather than a generic resource form), and really like working with it. My DB has about 3.5M triples in it.

Throwaway account as my main is not suitable for this discussion.

I'm not a staunch supporter of anyone. But consider that since the foundation of the modern State of Israel, the Palestinian people have been dispossessed of their ancestral land, violently and forcibly removed from their homes, villages and farms, and on a racial basis denied proper political engagement in the nation state that was created in their midst.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba for more context. You may not be aware that this took place, as in the US (and other western nations) this history is rarely taught.

I wouldn't frame it as "why Israel shouldn't be retaliating" but rather, why you would expect any people to peaceably accept such a state of affairs without fighting back. I don't think anyone would be surprised at Israel retaliating against strikes from the Palestinian territories.
So serverless meaning you don’t manage the db servers, so they may or may not put your stuff on the edge, cloudflare takes care of maybe load balancing too?
Your question is based on a false dichotomy: that Palestine supporters think any of those things. As you say, the problem is complex.

Iron Dome works as intended, but would not be necessary if Israel wasn't annexing land that people already live on and consider home. That's what the Palestinians are mad about and what continues to radicalize them. If you stop doing the things Palestinians are mad about, there will be far fewer mad people and far fewer attacks, opening up a path to peace. Iron Dome is a symptom of the problem.

Iron Dome is used to continue and defend the encroachment onto Palestinian land. The retaliation against Palestinians (often those who have nothing to do with attacks) using primarily 5.56 rounds supplied by US/NATO (likely paid for by your taxes if you speak English!), rockets sent into private homes, or straight up billy clubs, is wildly imbalanced. But propaganda arms like .il websites and "just asking questions" guys in the comment sections of social media websites perpetuate the notion that there is somehow some balance that is reached only by deploying Iron Dome batteries. Media critics call this both-sides-ism and the news media outlets use it incessantly to muddy the waters on complex problems by drawing false dichotomies just as you have.

This is a bad analogy, because Ukraine doesn't shoot missiles into Russia, but Gaza shoots missiles into Israel all the time.

> most importantly, he did most of his work in the US

That is correct, and I agree that it's most important -- his ethnicity is completely irrelevant (no more than Steve Jobs's Syrian one) and his place of birth just slightly more, as it defined where he went for education (Graz and Prague) and early work (Budapest and Paris, which led directly to his move to the US).

> I haven't seen much of that history

Which is fair, especially considering the fact that it wasn't a separate country for most of its history. But things like electric speedometer, military torpedo, rubber hot water bottle and a few others came from there.
The Register tends to do good reporting. They absolutely have a mocking and disrespectful tone to them, and love an inflammatory headline, but that's just style.
Not in the urban core. Speeds are low in the urban core. Further, in my personal experience, busses make up most of the egregious noise with their extraordinarily loud ICEs. Some cities like SF have electric busses and they’re materially quieter than say NYC or seattle which have behemoth ICE noise death machines.
