> That control of sovereign entities can only be attained by threat or actualised violence.

Treaties are signed regularly having nothing to do with any kind of threat of violence. Breaking of treaties often even has legal redress mechanisms within international courts of law, all without military threats. Instead economic sanctions are often the recourse.

Re "paradox of tolerance" it's a pretty close analogy so I'm really not sure what you're going on about. An absolute anti-war position puts you in the position of tolerating wars. Thus any group that wants can engage in violence to acquire more resources. At the limit it can even overpower you although that's not so important because your tolerance of the war has a net result in having caused more war and violence. In military circles it would be called appeasement* but it's the same basic philosophy.

* Interesting side note is that there are some historians that suggest that Chamberlain's appeasement strategy wasn't because he thought it would work to pacify Hitler but because he was desperately trying hard to avoid Britain getting sucked into a conflict until they were properly staffed up (Stalin did the same btw). Additionally the appeasement strategy arguably was helpful in also pulling America into the European theater because domestic supporters of Germany couldn't claim that Hitler's expansion was somehow legitimate given that every grievance raised by Germany had a legitimate attempt to redress.
Yeah, you're right. I haven't had a phantom brake in quite a while, and even the ones I used to have were not so aggressive as to be unsafe. Unfortunately, I suspect downvoters are conflating 'observing phantom braking has been fixed' with 'complete endorsement of everything Musk does'. Black and white thinking and whatnot.
Ask HN: Would wearing a suit at a technical interview put you at a disadvantage?
Maybe the interviewer would see it as indicative of a lack of confidence?
Korea, Vietnam. If Communist China wasn't involved, we probably wouldn't be either. It was a policy of containment. And yes, Democrats went along with it. What could they do, say "no we're siding with China"? They would be voted out.
Funny you would respond with a fallacious comparison.

Relative privation is not fallacious because comparison was useless. Kids do starve (realistic) and there is even worse in the world (so not an extreme either).
But you need to choose by some metric where to use your abilities, if you don't want to end up being an egotistic hedonist.

You should help to right wrongs in ways amenable to your abilities, not more, not less. Honesty is key obviously, both ways.
Hey, at least you can still keep your shoes on.
Android developers, how easy was it for you to make your app work with TalkBack
I'm curious how easy it is for an Android developer to make their apps [accessible](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/accessibility/principles).
That’s a terrible way to interview. Interviews are high stress, time constrained settings where you’re talking to people you don’t know. If you want thoughtful answers, you need to be precise in what you’re asking. You can’t be like “tell me about yourself” and then complain I didn’t get from the candidate whether steak is their favorite food.
That's what I'm going for! I love this type of info, so against the grain and useful it's basically a scandal. :-) Check out your sibling comment about pg_repack though, it's a really awesome PG perf improvement tool.
You're not wrong, but that method is way more involved in every way.

- You need a PC to run GooglePlay
- You need to install Golang on that PC
- You need a Google Account
- You need to sign into the actual Google Play Store from a real or virtual device using that account
- You need to know the Google Play Store package name (com.google.android.youtube) instead of just YouTube
- You then have to transfer the APK to your Android device and install it.
- You have to manually monitor your collection of apps on your device to see if there are updates and then go through the same process again to get the updated version.

With Aurora Store I had to

- Install F-Droid from https://f-droid.org/
- Install Aurora Store from within F-Droid
- Open Aurora Store where it logs me in with a random Google Account from their pool of accounts.
- Search for whatever app I want to install.
- Tap Install.
- For updates I tap on the Updates button and then tap Install All.
It sounds like the left is much more powerful than the right then given that they can overpower them with no repercussion. I think it would probably be best to give into their demands so the right are not further victimized if this is the case.
Love these.

This point is moot because the antibiotics will be manufactured overseas where all the waste & runoff is discarded by pumping it into local rivers, causing ecosystem wide adaptation to the material.

This is currently the situation in India, where the bulk of our antibiotics are manufactured.

Visiting Germany by train can be cost-effective: there's a good chance your train is delayed by more than an hour and you can reclaim the ticket price.
The problem with this whole thought process is it's hilariously abstract. The people in power have F-35s. What is your collection of (admittedly, unnecessarily powerful) guns going to do against that?

It also assumes that such disagreements require force to be resolved, and that's just demonstrably not always true. Even if it sometimes is.
So there's a few things here:

Firstly, Debian's mirror network URLs allow a mirror operator to attack the base Debian.org site if they rely on cookies on debian.org (they may not, I'm not sure). Specifically the `ftp.<country>.debian.org` aliases cause this. On PyPI we did use cookies at the base url, so this was a non starter for us to keep.

The second thing here is that Debian and PyPI from a technical level about how mirrors are configured and hosted are generally similar. Meaning other than the above aliases, mirrors are expected to have their own domain and users are expected to configure apt or pip to point to a specific domain. Debian does have a command that will attempt to do that configuration for you to, to make it easier.

The third thing is that Debian's mirrors are as secure as the main repository is against attacks from a compromised mirror operator. This isn't the case in PyPI where you're forced to trust the mirror operator to serve you the correct packages. There is vestigal support for a scheme to support this in the mirroring PEP, but nothing ever really implemented it except the very old version of PyPI (none of the clients, etc). That scheme is also very insecure, so it doesn't really provide the security levels it was intended to.

The fourth thing is that a Debian mirror is easier to operate.

Packages on Debian don't live forever, as new versions are released old versions get removed, and as OS releases move into end of life, entire chunks of packages get rotated out. However on PyPI we don't have the concept of an OS release, or any sort of phasing out of old packages. All packages are valid for as long as the author makes them available. This means that the storage space to run a PyPI mirror (currently ~30TB) is a lot more than the storage space for a Debian mirror (~4TB).

On top of that the way apt and pip function are inherently different. Apt has users occasionally download the entire package set so that apt has a local copy of the metadata while pip asks the server for each package for the metadata (it does some light caching, but not a lot). This means that to discover what packages are available, apt might make one request a day while pip might make 100 requests for every invocation of pip. Packages on apt release a lot slower and less often than on pip. so many times people may not be needing to download more than a handful of packages, but people generally need to download a lot of packages from PyPI at a time.

I believe? the Debian mirroring protocol is rsync based, which is generally pretty reliable, while the PyPI mirroring protocol is a custom one which works, but it sometimes has a tendency to get "stuck" every few months and require operators to notice and fix themselves.

I suspect the differences between the strength of the mirror network is some combination of the two, but I suspect the the third and fourth things are the biggest differences, particularly when PyPI's CDN solved the problem in most users minds that would cause them to want to host or use a mirror.
The ship has already sailed... no one says one has to use the prescribed DoH protocol. An app could simply embed a list of known IP addresses and make custom TCP queries using entirely proprietary / opaque protocols to "resolve DNS" or just discover ip addresses for their services.

I'm sure many applications and devices are already doing it. Who has the time and inclination to monitor the network traffic of all their appliances to ensure they're not being spied on? I wish someone would and we'd publicly shame all the scumbags that do it, but alas...
That really was a long time ago.

Trains are trendier than ever and the networks are expanding again. Sleeper trains are making a huge comeback and private companies are shaking up the industry with low fares on popular routes.

It... definitely helps me understand what I'm seeing on here better, yes.
For most icon libraries that use <i> for their icons, it's usually just a suggestion and using <span> instead works fine. They mainly use <i> because it's "pretty".
I had a recruiter contact me the other month. I was initially hopeful as it’s been too long, but not knowing anything about the company (seemed to be a small local company in a domain that I’m mildly interested in) I decided to check Glassdoor, mostly to see if I could gauge what they pay.

Boy it was easy to spot the fake reviews.

There were several reviews along the lines of “low pay, high turnover, abusive management, ridiculous expectations”.

However in the sea of those I noticed one positive review, in which the only “con” listed by the person was how everyone was so jealous of him because his job was so great. Needless to say I didn’t engage with the recruiter.
I do think Flakes help with the "throwing away old versions" issue. They also help with the monorepo issue by encouraging developers publish the Nix derivation in their own repo.

But they currently have a bit of a discoverability issue, and they need adoption by legacy packages to completely fix the problem.
Hard agree. Democrats pay lip service to anti-war voices when they are out of power, then often rule as hawks.

It's not necessarily meaningful to call one party more or less hawkish than the other. It often comes down to the leader, era, and coalition behind them. Bush/Cheney were definitely more aggressive than Gore would have been, but HRC was positioning herself to be much more hawkish than Trump ended up ruling as. That's why in the post-2016 era many infamous hawks like Bill Kristol and David Frum have been Democrat-aligned.
You don't have to take your shoes off at any European airport. Also the security people all seem professional and not on a power trip. This has not been my experience in America.
Possibly the Slippery Slope fallacy.

There's also an appeal to consequences where if the outcome of something is considered undesirable, then that something must be false.
This hasn’t been my experience.
To my understanding, that is because Tesla car replacement parts are hideously expensive. Not because they are unsafe.
This helps, but doesn't solve the problem entirely. We have some data showing cattle with antibiotic resistant E. coli to antibiotics that are not administered to livestock, because they're carried on the same plasmids as other resistance genes that confer a fitness advantage in some other way (i.e. another antibiotic, heavy metals, etc.)

That's not to say that regulating its use isn't a good idea, just that it's really complicated.
I don't think the world gives the US enough flak for the Spanish-American war. It was an invented war to steal territory. No wonder he became cynical.
Yes, this is exactly the point - some people are making arguments about Nvidia's amazing software stack. Sorry, but Amazon and Google have some pretty fucking good software engineers, Google already tapes out TPUs. Oh, and those are Nvidia's biggest potential customers.

Honestly this stock market move makes it look like Google should just announce "hey we're putting the TPU on sale for general availability" they'd jump 25% overnight.
Banks need identity, crypto can work without it, thus making it easier to script money, though this conflicts with Worldcoin's PoV as they want to identify everyone.

They are also backlogged 18-24 months for their utility scale storage. There is substantial demand for every unit manufactured.

It's not legislators, although I disagree with your assessment there. The people actually doing assessments and inspections of companies do not have much expertise at all. Even for far simpler technical tasks than assessing AI.

There's a lot of research into ways to treat C. difficile.

Some of it is genuinely antimicrobial stewardship - keeping people off proton pump inhibitors and certain classes of antibiotics.

Fecal transplant is also getting both more viable and better understood (this is what I worked on for my dissertation).

There's also some investigation of alternative therapeutics for C. diff that aren't just vancomycin.
Yes, but how will this work for the `nixpkgs` repository? Still very unclear!

I'm 100% onboard with flakes in general, and use flakes to describe devshells + publish binaries when applicable -- like with the tool I linked in my earlier post.

> worker earnings continue to climb if you count government mediated benefits

I thought counting medical inflation as a salary increase only changed the threshold from 90% to 80% of workers seeing wage contraction over the last 40 years.
Because its a decision made by someone who clearly has no idea how modern web traffic works. That pricing model looks fine in a world where scrapers and proxies don’t exist. But in our world, they do exist, and small time devs will happily pay $5 for a handful of proxies and scrape the data they want from Twitter directly. You can’t really block them either, especially if they’re indeed small time devs who are just scraping casually.

These devs using scraping tools are loading up entire profiles and tweets, which consumes far more resources than a simple API call that gives them the precise information they want.

Cheap APIs discourage scraping and are most cost effective if you work out the tiers and rate limits.
I don't know kiwicopple (apart from following Supabase), but I'm about 99% sure he's a dev and has probably built a ton of the features in Supabase. With a highly technical product like Supabase, you don't get to be a founder that plays with spreadsheets all day while devs build the product. You have to roll up your sleeves and build it.

In this particular situation, it simply doesn't fit whatever narrative you're weaving about some non-tech CEO taking the credit for the work done by a dev.

It's still a thing with Oracle. I worked at a large music retailer running on ATG/Oracle commerce and I don't think I ever saw documentation on how any of it worked.

Congratulations to the Tesla team!
Would it require someone who works on the codebase? Or could you employ someone to be nice to customers and have just enough technical knowledge to do triage?
given russia's long history of dishonesty in their claims (e.g. 'we won't attack Ukraine, that's just western propaganda', 'we are the victims and not the aggressors', 'we aren't raping children in Ukraine'), the truth is, by default, most likely to be the opposite of what russia says (but of course, subject to dispute if russia actually has reliable verified evidence of their claims)

For the entirety of the 20th century, ALL communism was conflated with Stalin's "Communism" for political purposes. Plenty of people advocating for socialism would have been executed in the USSR because to Stalin, "Communism" meant a Stalin based monarchy with a good propaganda arm.

They made the marketing blunder of calling the ARM OS "windows" when it couldn't run existing software. It's borderline fraud. Many people, (probably most) returned their RT devices to the store because of this.

Windows ARM laptops were more expensive, slower, & under-speced than x86 ones.

Microsoft restricted software download to store only - pretty dumb to me.

x86 Emulation was eventually released after win10 arm was released but it was slow and probably wasn't reliable.

Summary, high price but low performance, dumb os restrictions, & non existent ecosystem killed ms ARM efforts.

The thing that’s impressive to me is that it has the holes for controlling pitch. The reconstruction offers some guesses at the temperament, but I imagine there’s a lot of room for error. Presumably there are other instruments even older (it’s likely that the very first instruments would be percussion instruments which, even should they survive, would be difficult to identify as musical instruments tens of thousands of years later.
And I likewise, but to downvote instead.
I think its even more insidious than that. The political party machine on both the GOP and Dem side control what candidates are even put in front of us. Populist antiestablishmentism doesn't get you far because both the media and the political party itself are working against you. So you will still see younger politicians who hold these opinions in positions of power, because these are the opinions of the elite more than anything generational, and these are the candidates who receive the most support and most air time in front of voters.
Still doesn't justify its valuation. Tesla is very far from worthless but nowhere near worth its stock price.

If I refuse to use a product because I think it's too dangerous, but I die anyway because of your use of the dangerous product, does my estate sue you personally for gross negligence, or must my estate sue the maker of the product?

Naturally if my estate sues you personally, your defense would be that you didn't know the product was dangerous. Perhaps if the whistleblower's leak is widely publicized, that would weaken your defense.

Certainly the leak should weaken the maker's ability to claim they didn't know.
