In general, that's true. But there are environments where the default position is to see the Palestinians as the victims of an oppressive Israeli government. Not entirely without reason -- Israel has been building settlements in the West Bank, on land that would reasonably form part of a Palestinian state under any two-state solution.

In those environments, it's common to use the term "apartheid" to refer to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. And it can look that way, if you haven't looked at the history. Israel segregates Gaza, allowing people into Israel only to work, and carefully scrutinized. They provide much of Gaza's water and energy, and been able to cut it off (which they now have). That's a superficial view, failing to take into account the history of the conflict, but it's definitely the case that it's common in certain left-leaning circles like college campuses.

In a lot of those places, the recent atrocity by Hamas is making them question that view. But it really does sound as if these students were living in an environment where they had been reinforcing Palestinian victimhood, and supporting Palestine is exactly what I'd call a knee-jerk reaction.

From the arstechnica story:

"Musk made much of this at the time, claiming that the body and bed of a conventional truck did nothing useful. `They are carried like cargo, like a sack of potatoes,' he said in 2019."

This is wrong headed. Indeed, the "body and bed" are not part of the stressed chassis in a conventional truck. This is a feature: trucks are made like this to isolate high stress to the frame. Trucks are expected to deal with enormous loads; certain medium duty trucks have towing capacities over 3.5x their own mass, and the frame actively flexes under these conditions. The last thing you want is a bunch of coachwork bending around with the frame.

They're also designed thus to adapt: beds and cabs vary based on model, and can be subsequently modified. That's part of the value proposition of a truck.

So this isn't so much a truck as an electric Hummer: the ultimate embiggening of the passenger car.
It's not really about culture. Everyone – OSS or not – wants to write good software. The problem is that the "polish" you mention is what takes up the vast majority of development effort and costs, and FOSS projects just aren't that well funded. Hiring teams of designers, copywriters, user researchers and HCI experts, staffing up customer support teams in different timezones, having dedicated QA for every minor change, overprovisioning servers so the app can scale...none of these come free or easy.

Kinda like the old oekaki boards, eh? Forums where you drew your posts with tools embedded on the page. The pen here ought to draw without anti-aliasing for authenticity ;)

Here's a page from a Japanese board, 20 years ago to the day: https://coolier.net/oekaki/173.htm

From the nearly sequential unmoderated post IDs, one surmises its visitors were a little more... civil than HN has been today. ^_^

There was a great radio ecoshock episode about this a couple years ago. Let me see if I can dig it up.

https://www.ecoshock.org/2017/03/emp-instant-blackout.html

The guy's journalistic style is certainly on the alarmist side but the scholarship is pretty solid and unusually expansive.

From the text:

"Because most utilities have not protected their giant transformers, and there are no replacements, the grid would stay down for at least a year, or a decade, or forever. There are ways to protect the system, but a captured Washington regulation system has not pushed for these simple steps.

A hostile power aside, our expert guest tells us an EMP hit is “inevitable” within the time of those living now, because the Sun can also crash our electrical systems world-wide.

A large solar storm, big enough to do it, was seen in 1859. It’s called the Carrington Event. If part of the Sun blows our way, all satellites are knocked out. The wires of our electric system act like antennae, receiving the deadly pulse."

I doubt the doomsayer timetable but the industrial capacity and delivery concern is absolutely valid.

If this actually happened, I think community solar would be choked as it gets ramped up everywhere at once and some neighborhoods would have power centers to go charge lithium ion portable power packs as the overall grids become decentralized. Shelf-stable, non-refrigerated food would become the norm and people would just make do with less electricity. We'd go back to a cash economy and things like night time entertainment that relied on sound systems and electric lights would become almost non-existent. Without street lights, nighttime in general would be dramatically quieter

The real problem would be people who have to use battery powered medical devices who don't have convenient ways to charge.

But yes, huge problem regardless

what the heck is d:Q190
Correct. I was drunk.
Agree -- my experience with Swift is that it's far more readable and closer to my personal aesthetics than Obj-C, but I actually struggled a lot figuring out how to write things the way that felt intuitive to me (ex. maintaining an observable global state + config that you can access from anywhere, easy declaration of and access to arbitrary/deeply-nested associative array keys, JSON handling, declare-once-use-anywhere icons and colors, that kind of stuff).

Once I had all the convenience guts in place, writing actual functionality has been a delight though (outside of the overly-verbose let/guard and type casting)

That said, I'm pretty sure I'm also probably just hard headed and doing it wrong, and could've learned the accepted patterns/methodologies lol

Separate questions. You said the company knew it was "doomed in a month or 2 and [did] not [alert] employees."

Moreover, I haven't seen claims of employees being blindsided (as Yellow drivers were).

The other reason we'll see it in these businesses first is it's entirely measurable - did you get the shipment where it needed to go without destroying it?

Nothing else matters beyond that and the price. And it's entirely fungible - nobody cares if it's UPS or FedEx or some random truck that delivers stuff to Walmart or whatever.

The only way they had a chance was getting their APIs so ingrained in companies they couldn't switch, and companies are rightly suspicious of that.
The story I have heard, is that Zionist activists (esp. Chaim Weizmann) made use of the conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world—which many British officials believed at the time—to make themselves seem more influential than they really were. The war front was barely holding together; British leaders were desperate for any advantage, and were thus more susceptible to such tactics. (Also, some British officials were committed Zionists for religious reasons, and pushed the cause internally with whatever arguments were available to them.)

That there was a hail mary appeal to the Supreme Court possible that they elected not to pursue does not negate that the issue is clearly not that the broadband ISPs didn’t see “enough to gain through packet prioritization that it was worth the risk of going to court”.
> You don't know the odds ex ante!

No, you can simply choose your cut off time for a hail-mary at 2 months of runway, rather than 0 months of runway. Leaders don't have to rundown the clock (and bank balance) to 0 - they may choose to, like they did in this instance.

> You're arguing for special treatment of well-paid tech workers over e.g. truck drivers

Again, no. I'm arguing against your suggestion that the Convoy folks without severance are going to be alright because they have unemployment. I hope none of them are on H-1B visas as they just lost all control to when their clock starts ticking.

> The solution is to not work for a start-up

This is a false dichotomy. There are plenty of startups led by people who do right by their employees; I have worked with some before of them, and I will not hesitate to work with them again in the future because I trust them not to screw me over like this.

Yes, I think you have. Got a couple rhetorical questions for you

What is the purpose of holding some one accountable?

Why do we not punish people if something bad happens and they could not reasonably have done anything to prevent the outcome?

The reason I'm asking is I'm under the impression you have a couple key things sort of mixed up together. Maybe another angle is to try answering the inverse of your own questions, I think you'll see free will doesn't really factor in much.

Not just playing devil's advocate either, I am personally pretty sure free will is an illusion. Happy to explore the topic further too.

That's the theory, but I wonder if it's actually true? I suspect it isn't, especially at this point. I think a lot of that activity came down to reporters talking to each other, followed by hordes of bots and people who don't actually read past the headline.

> Insider spoke to multiple people who claim Thiel became a “confidential human source” for a Los Angeles-based agent named Johnathan Buma — a term that indicates a long-running relationship with the FBI

> Neither Thiel nor the FBI commented to Insider about the report. And one of Insider’s sources is Charles Johnson, a far-right political figure and blogger that Insider acknowledges has spread a mix of accurate and false information in the past.

How would Johnson know about a long term relationship between Thiel and Buma, if all he did was introduce them? Is the implication that the FBI leaked a confidential source, or that Thiel told him about it, or... and stay with me here... should we assume this person who has spread false information in the past is doing it again?
Is there any definition of free will that is compatible with the scientific a priori of material causality? Isn't this outside the realm of the empirical?

Here is an fictitious example of an error that was wrapped from deep in the internals of the net package all the way up to the HTTP handler serving the user. It was wrapped five times and clearly outlines what went wrong at each stage.

https://pkg.go.dev/errors#Is and friends can be used to figure out what type/class of error exists in this chain so there is no loss of information either. It's more than just string concatenation. It's an actual tree of errors that also presents well for the logger.
> my most frequent (if potentially unfair) gripes with FOSS projects,

The difference is that you should not have any gripes with FOSS projects because they don't charge you anything, make no guarantees, and don't expect anything from you in return. In other words, your thoughts are irrelevant.

If you want something that works, pay for it.

If you want to play around and sometimes get stuff done, use FOSS. There's the exception for FOSS supported by big businesses, but this is not what people talk about when they talk about FOSS.

I feel like this leans too heavily into determinism. If we have no free will, and everything is predetermined based on previous states, then how many of these previous states do we need to know before we can determine the future?

The argument feels very weak regardless. Of course current actions are affected by previous actions, but just because they were affected doesn't mean they were determined by the previous actions, so it seems wrong to argue against free will via causal chains. I don't suddenly lose my agency to choose something just because someone can figure out a plausible reason for me having made that choice.

"We are all just causally linked flesh machines and nothing else, prove me wrong" feels like the opposite side of the "philosophy zombie" concept. One posits we have no choice, one posits there is nothing "making" choices, and both are much better relegated to thought experiments to prod people into thinking about how to make an argument against it.

With that in mind, the article says:

>Sapolsky, who describes himself as "majorly averse to interpersonal conflict,"..."I'm really, really, really trying not to sound like a combative jerk in the book," he said. "I deal with human complexities by going and living in a tent. So yeah, I'm not up for a lot of brawls about this."

This book and idea seem like a window into a philosopher's life where he just tells you what he believes, explains a bit, but isn't going to defend his idea much because he's just sharing the idea, not trying to authoritatively state he "solved free will" or some similar ludicrous statement.
Elon Musk owns a social media company that is pretty open about it's speech policies, whether you agree with them or not.

This was the British Empire with full momentum. I expect the no-records-exist briefings started with explaining who the Jews were, and how installing them in this part of the Ottoman Empire would disrupt the ability of the Arabs to reorganise themselves for generations; securing British hegemony.

There is a reason that the Chinese ended up with the paranoid and insular government that they have - everything else got torn apart by the West. If you look in Africa, the Middle East or the Americas you can see the tattered shreds of former empires that didn't take the British threat (et, al - Europeans really) seriously enough. They were really good at dismantling things.
