Yes, bombing Ahli Arab hospital is an atrocity and a war crime. You know it, I know it, Israel knows it, and Hamas knows it. Hamas doesn't have a lot of reasons to intentionally blow up a Palestinian hospital, beyond maybe trying to stage a false flag attack. Israel has more reasons; Israel could have been targeting weapons stored in the hospital or a high value target. But even if Israel did have intelligence that made them think there was something worth striking in Ahli Arab, the political repercussions of striking a hospital would be so severe that I doubt they would pull the trigger.

The commenter you quoted was likely thinking something along the lines of "neither side has a strong motive to intentionally bomb Ahli Arab, so the most likely reason for the bombing is an accidental strike. Assuming that the accident isn't part of a trend of accidents, the unfortunate reality of war is that accidents happen on all sides. Thus, it doesn't really matter if it was an Israeli accident or a Hamas accident."

Should we investigate and determine if the strike really was an accident? Yes, of course. But we can also predict that the result of that investigation will be "it was an accident", and start to make preliminary conclusions predicated on that.
You know how important it is to gain public support from the western community, right? Of course each side is gonna put out their propaganda.

"The PGP Problem" is generally misleading and is straight out wrong in some places. I ended up writing an article to save time:

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:tpp

PGP certainly has its problems, but isn't really special compared to other similar things. The big advantage that PGP has is that it is a stable and well known standard. There is a tendency to imply that it is insecure in some way, but no real evidence seems to exist to that effect.
I thought this was a decent video. One of the strongest counterarguments I’ve seen to the failed rocket being the cause of the fireball (rather than merely a coincidence), is the timing. 7 seconds between the rocket breaking up (still unclear if due to failure or interception, someone please correct me if I’m wrong) and impact with the hospital. 7 seconds would certainly not be enough to fall to earth from what appears to be roughly 1km altitude, presuming that the motor is destroyed and that it still had significant upward momentum. So, either estimates I’ve seen of its altitude and vertical velocity are way off, or the rocket would have had to continue burning its motor pointing downward after the failure/interception, OR the explosion of the failure/interception would have had to impart enough momentum to launch the warhead and/or solid rocket fuel straight at the hospital. Not sure which of those 3 scenarios is most likely, I’d guess the last one.

I’m sure you’re aware of the issues, and this looks like highly useful work! But I’ve seen enough human nature to know that a lot of people will see “POSIX API” and assume they can just run anything on it without further thought. I know this because for years I’ve seen people run things on AFS and NFS, see weird concurrency behavior or data loss or latency, and blame the filesystem for not performing miracles, rather than blaming the application for not taking nonlocal storage into account.

The strongest argument for using a different API for object storage is that you don’t get that excuse. The API presents the true semantics and failure conditions and the application needs to think them through. (And your position that it may not be a strong enough argument is perfectly valid.)

> based on Laffer curve

Everyone has an opinion on the optimal part of the Laffer curve.

Evidence may even exist for some of these claims, but we've all got an obvious clear incentive to want lower taxes today while downplaying the long-term risks of the government failing to invest in the future, so I tend to assume we can sustain higher taxes more easily than the loudest voices[0] tell me.

[0] Unless those voices are literally, non-pejoratively, Communists; but even then that's not because they're wrong about the Laffer curve itself, but that the people still promoting Communism today tend to also gloss over all the other mistakes made by the historical examples thereof…

There is an ongoing scam that pushes C-suite pay ever higher, and it needs to stop.

It builds on exactly the reasoning you lay out, and goes something like this:

- "We need the best CEO we can find. We have to understand how to set compensation to attract them."

- So the board hires an executive compensation consultant.

- "If you want better than average, you have to pay above average." So they target something like 85th percentile compensation for their market.

- No board goes into an executive search saying "We want a mediocre CEO, so we'll pay below market." Over time, executive compensation ratchets upwards everywhere. <- YOU ARE HERE

Providing value that you are able to price.

Amazon was built on top of layers and layers of public goods that provide surplus value that Bezos and others are able to package into a product: postal services, roads, internet infrastructure, open source software, etc.

Indeed, there should be many people on this forum that understand that providing value is a relatively small part of the problem (see: any of a host of heavily used open source projects), it’s the “spend money on” part of the execution that matters.

The whole question then becomes, who actually created the value that is being paid for in this scenario?

Certainly, Bezos created a company that did many innovative things and made the correct decisions for him to win out over his competition. However, the concept of an online store wasn’t really all that novel. Such a store would have been impossible to create in the 1970s, but suddenly it became so in the 90s and there were plenty of potential competitors popping up at the same time because external conditions made it possible. Additionally, because the entire concept was new, he didn’t have to compete with an existing behemoth like Amazon is today (though of course the incumbent physical retail giants of the time shouldn’t be downplayed, nonetheless, starting an online everything store today is a very different proposition).

The issue isn’t “did Bezos create something novel and valuable”, but rather “how much value did he create, and how much did he just benefit from an existing pool of value waiting to be tapped, that was created by the rest of society”? To that end, it’s not a question of whether Bezos might “deserve” to be wealthy, but rather, how wealthy?

The consistent framing, as illustrated by your comment, is that our capitalist system inherently gives just dues to those that create value, and is often accompanied by the line that taxing the rich is “punishing success”. But the countervailing point is that it is often the case that the very rich receive outsized gains as the benefit from common resources, and they ought to pay back into that public trust in due course as they have benefitted from it the most.
Yeah, that's become my main use for bookmarks. I prefer to treat the URL bar like a CLI as much as I can, and to not have the bookmarks bar take up space.

This is called "The Web". You’re free to write whatever you want, it’s just not on Wikipedia.

No, but articles still require maintainance, so it’s false to say that just because this is "in the cloud" you can have an infinite number of articles.
Depression comes in many forms, you're correct, including depression due to physical deformities in the brain. This would fall under the last category where some forms of depression can be made worse by SSRIs and SNRIs, though those classes of drugs are most commonly ineffective for any patient.
It would be nice if someone wrote a response to Andreessen's dumb manifesto that wasn't itself even dumber, but no, apparently if someone's rich and writes something dumb no one can talk about why it's dumb because pointing at them and saying "grr, rich" overrides all.

They have an uphill battle without all the heavy lifting Apple has done to invest in the platform and force developers to make it work.
To me, that just calls for a sensible UI with attractive styling and interaction over a git backend for the heavy lifting of tracking changes through time.

A lot of successful products have been built in this way. I've seen developers get upset with Apple for making successful products out of just giving a nice UI to a piece of open source tech that does the heavy lifting. Like it's cheating.

Good books but the protagonist in the 3rd book was INFURIATING.
I have followed Ukraine-Russia related articles for a decade and saw thousands of articles changed over that time span.

One thing that always stood out to me was how till 2014 you could find many references on wikipedia to pre-2014 attempts from Crimea to secede from Ukraine.

"Crimea" (quoted, as it may refer to different groups/leaderships in Crimea) tried to split from Ukraine twice already during Soviet times.

But this whole thing got edited away in years across dozens of articles.

I think there's a significant nuance between the two narratives.

It's a more subtle mistake than that - they did say "X told us Y":

> Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinian Officials Say

The problem isn't that they presented an unverified claim as fact - they told us that this was a claim by an official.

The problem is one of framing and headline crafting. All people took away from the headline was the "fact", because the headline did not adequately stress the providence of the information or the fact that the claim was unverified.

If you want people to come away with "X claims Y" rather than "X happened", you need to in some way stress the fact that it's an unverified claim.

I'd honestly chalk this up less to malice or journalistic malpractice in the hunt for clicks, but to simple bad writing. I'm amazed it got past the editors.

YC's Series A Term Sheet Template
I don't believe this is actually enforced. I created a small website called "Man of the Hour", which filtered Wikipedia with the Wikidata code Q8441 (man - male adult human), selected a random entry every hour, and displayed it.

I would go there a few times a day, and noticed that almost every single article it gave me was some random amateur athlete, with only a results page as a source.

> The cube coordinates are a reasonable choice for a hex grid coordinate system. The constraint is that q + r + s = 0 so the algorithms must preserve that. The constraint also ensures that there's a canonical coordinate for each hex.

If the dimensions aren't independent and/or orthogonal, can this even be called a coordinate system? For example, you can have (1, 4, -5) but you can't have (1, 4, -4).
> we need to find a way to penalize this kind of behavior harshly and quickly.

There is only one solution: The population valuing repairable products.

After that, problem solved. That will make them the more profitable one, penalizing production of non-repairable products through loss of profitability, and companies will jump at the chance to produce that which is repairable.

But so long as we, as a population, don't value repairable products, companies are going to continue to produce what we actually value instead. After all, a company can only stave off bankruptcy by producing what people want.

There is no other option. Even if you want to penalize through law, or similar means, democracy requires that the population first value repairable products to usher in such a law, and at that point the company's quest for profitability will have already solved the problem anyway.

> wealthy have tons of money for the government to take, but can spend tens of thousands up to millions to shield it so they can't

I used to advocate for doubling all tax brackets. A friend ran the numbers: the result is volatility. The middle class has stable earnings in a way the wealthy do not. That doesn’t mean we can’t tax them more. But there is a trade off.
> This piece is pretty sensationalist

That wasn't my read at all -- which bits specifically?
We don’t adjust salary for what proportions people manage or are responsible for in a lot of other fields, at least not to the same extend. And especially if we would go by responsibility. I earn about 3 times as much as the average school teacher in my home town and about 4 times as much as the people driving the buses there while I sit in front of my screen and fix irrelevant css bugs or spin up the next semi-useful microservice for a cross financed project that nobody really cares about except and that doesn’t really help anybody.
Their responsibility and utility is much greater than mine. If they fuck up it has much larger and potentially grave consequences. If I fuck up there will be a Jira ticket and a semi-interested PM who will assign it to me 3 weeks down the line.
Furthermore this relation does not automatically imply fairness. And on the outside it also appears very asymmetric in personal risk. A megacorp CEO might tank the entire company and can often still walk away with millions.
So if we wanted a “fairness” optimized solution then maybe it should take into account the public utility, difficulty of the job, amount of work required and personal risk. And maybe, (just maybe) we don’t need anyone being arbitrarily wealthy and having more assets than some developing countries.

Exactly. Can't just focus on building things and selling to whoever has money. Not to mention Intel's leadership is doubtlessly also considering how recent sanctions affect the bottom line.

Regardless of the debate about how much (if?) leadership truly considers ethics apart from financial concerns, ethics is hard. Even if you want to make ethical decisions, it's hard.
I haven't clicked your link yet or the story link - I don't know who said what about what, so I have no opinion yet.

If you write in a bitterly sarcastic style, and especially if you sarcastically put words in people's mouths, as you have done, and then you say "the downvotes prove my point" - it looks very bad. It's a huge red flag that you aren't being honest. This is my advice - not an opinion that you are being dishonest. I'm saying you should avoid doing what you did, because it severely undermines you.

Have you studied the 1970s through 1980s?

As bond rates increased, companies went bankrupt because they couldn't afford loans needed to sustain themselves. When the US Government is willing to pay 10%, 15%, or more on debt, that means that "normies" will have to pay 20% or 25% on mortgages or company credit.

Companies who are used to 8% debt or normal people used to 5% mortgages will suddenly find 15% mortgages or 20%+ debt impossible to manage and go bankrupt. This cascades and hampers the economy.

----------------

Everyone complains about US Government debt while ignoring the fact that most people and companies are levered up the wazoo. You think US Government is bad? How much money is typical Silicon Valley company making, and how much is their debt load?

Will (random-unicorn) be able to survive higher interest rates? Even the fear of others going bankrupt will cause banks to hoard money for themselves (too risky to lend it out to others), especially because cash now earns 5% to 6% safely. Why lend to risky companies who'll just go bankrupt when you can lend to US Government more safely?
