For that price i would expect it to load all my books into a VR world simulating a quiet study room in mansion.

The new oculus meta quest 3 could do this and the price difference while nearly double isn't huge if someone really as 350 spare to spend on this.

And the oculus would have headphones, this doens't?
Putting quotes from unreliable sources in headlines is dangerous journalism in my opinion.
Because the Gaza footage is quite a mess. You will have hard times matching it with Ukraine footage. Sometimes, whole neighbourhoods of civilian high rises were levelled.

Meanwhile, obviously the carnage of civilians during the initial Gaza raid is also something that you will have hard time matching with anything happening in Ukraine.

Perhaps you will derive something different from these pictures, I just suggest doing that instead of going along with narratives.
Sure. You'll find plenty of evidence for Navalny's lawyers as well, funny how that works. You still haven't told me how you're going to tell them apart. I mean, I know: You start with the conclusion and work back from there, so that's easy and clean.

Also, have you heard of selective enforcement? Does it not worry you at all to see the one side consistently getting prosecuted and persecuted and the other one not at all? Do you think you're always going to be on the right side?

I don't know man, you are watching the government of the USA going after its main political opponent, no holds barred, even after his lawyers (which of course is pour encourager les autres don't play coy), and you're taking it very well, like "Yes, this is what democracy feels like, love it". And the sight of literally Putin doing literally the same thing doesn't trigger the least amount of thought in your mind. It's all going great, yes. Beautiful.
This is true for Blue Shield also. They're all non profits and many, like Blue Shield if California are complete disasters. Blue shield of California has a lower review on Yelp than the San Francisco DMV
I disagree that there is no place for a junior role. I can spec out tons of projects a reasonably junior person could handle that would take away a lot of "busy" work for me. The problem is this - very few people actively choose DevOps. I've heard it said that DevOps (I started calling it just "ops" because many devops jobs have very little dev) isn't something someone chooses, it's something that just happens to you. For me, one minute I'm volunteering to help out with the builds at a small startup, blink and then 5 years later I'm a DevOps engineer.

I would give juniors this advice:

Do not pigeonhole yourself into a particular role. The best "DevOps" I've seen are generalists that can fit in on SRE, Systems/platform engineering, network, security types of teams, etc. Same goes with technology. If you find yourself early on spending 2 years working on nothing but Jenkins and CI/CD pipelines, guess what your next job is gonna be about. Challenge yourself, always be learning a new thing. If you don't like learning, or can't learn fast, this isn't the job for you. If you don't like potentially brutal on-call schedules, this isn't the job for you. If you don't like mostly thankless work that is invisible if you are doing it correctly, this isn't the job for you. Also look at job postings frequently and see what companies are asking for proficiency in and make sure you at least are somewhat competent in those areas.

Also I wish more DevOps had more of a CS background. I can't tell you how many times I've seen multiple senior DevOps looking at a machine that is clearly and very obviously thrashing and have no idea what they're looking at.

A nice example of introverted comment.
> Hospitals are all non-profit so they can reap tax benefits. In order to avoid profit but still maintain growth, they shovel all their profits into network expansion.

That doesn't make any sense; it seems to be based on the premise that “non-profit” means the firm can't make surplus income, but it just means they are structured so as not to return profits to investors or some other party.

Package maintenance also means to keep up with changes in the packages dependencies. If I don't do that, that's my problem, not the dependencies.

If I want to fix a certain version as my requirement, I can do so. Every major package system, including the ones used in Python, allow this. If I don't want that, then I need to keep my package maintained, and that means keeping an eye on what my dependencies do. That's part of package maintenance, simple as that.

There is no onus on the dependencies maintainers to care about whether I do my maintenance or not.
There are options to define how container numbering is handled. Right in the General Tab. These settings work for me...

At some point a long time ago someone imported all the US Census data into Wikipedia, creating a page for every town reported.

It strikes me strange that those are considered "notable enough" mainly because they've been in Wikipedia long enough, but new articles have to fight.

Petty bureaucrats can only show their power by saying no, if they say yes it's as if they weren't there.
You know what most people do not even know this exists. Even if it exists why would they prefer this instead of just clicking user icon and switching their profile as in chrome or edge.

Most people like simple and boring UI which is straight forward.

I understand that the law might not take this into account right now, but if cops get some qualified immunity from lawsuits in the course of doing their jobs, it seems a fair trade to me that they should similarly be restricted in some ways from suing members of the public who criticize them in the course of their jobs.

Benton's a decent writer. I read his (popular science) book "When Life Almost Died". He seems very interested in mass extinctions, but also in something like change in underpinnings of science. I don't know that's the right phrase.
That sounds terrible.

I don't know how Wikipedia works -- is there not a way to submit a smaller/stub page or something, and then once it passes review for notability, then you fill out the rest?

Does Wikipedia expect people to put in days of work before an article gets approved? I hope that's not the case.

Most of his wealth being Amazon stocks makes this companies treatments of employees WORSE not better.

The fact that one person can steal so much wages from his employees while simultaneously also getting “paid” through their equity, and that stealing wages and wage growth from his employees is viewed as positive is everything that’s wrong with capitalism.

If you are going to mention Skyfall, I have to bring up the opening sequence of Casino Royale (my favorite of the Daniel Craig Bond movies). The fight scene is pretty brutal:

What a PR disaster this will be for Apple. I can't see how they could possibly spin this or defend it at all.

That is, if it's true. It probably is, but I'm always dubious of "a person with knowledge of the meeting said".
I don't particularly like Bond films, but I did really like Skyfall—it felt like it leaned into the things you mention. Like, the movie was about how dated and out-of-place Bond felt (and made the villain in that film explicitly a mirror of Bond, angry at that fact).
I think it's ok to have different movie franchises that have different strengths

From my perspective it's the realism, seriousness, and lack of everything the franchise did for like 40 years that has successfully killed the fun

I noticed this too, reminded me a little bit of Bill Maher's "angry old guy" transformation.

I think JS legitimately is more arrogant and self righteous. I think part of it is the DGAF everyone goes through as they get older, and part of it is pent up frustration from watching the MSM decline. I'd contend that his usual DS bit - mocking the MSM - wouldn't work today because the veneer of rehearsed professionalism is gone, and news openly doubles as media. Lacking his biggest tool in the toolbox, he centers on himself...which makes for a less interesting show, which is probably why they're canning the show (the 'creative differences' is a cop out - those always disappear when ratings are high enough).
Perhaps, but plenty of OSINT accounts on Twitter posted multiple videos and pictures they sourced, and they pretty much came to the same conclusion.

I have seen the footage of that stop alongside body cam footage from the officers on YouTube, but I hadn’t seen the version released by galanakis. Even without commentary, it looked like a bad arrest to me. The officers refuse to use a breathalyzer at first, choosing a field sobriety test (which is known to have many problems) first. At one point the officers said something to the affect of “he’s a smartass” as part of their decision to arrest.

I've written dozens of articles starting from a few sentences and slowly expanding it over the course of a few days. I simply make sure the topic is notable enough and that every sentence is cited.
Two ways of thinking about pointy vs flat top:

1. Pointy and flat are 60° rotations away from each other. This is what I use for animations. But it's not as useful for the math.

2. Pointy and flat are the same with x/y flipped. This is much more useful for coding.
If you read through the end, the claims were thrown out, except the claim that the officer was abused his wife, which there is some question of whether that's actionable.

Seems like the court is doing the reasonable thing.
>Bigotry in a sense that the rights (to defend, self-determine, etc) we so vehemently ascribe to/for ourselves as given are in the same sentence with dumb righteousness denied to the other party/country/ethnic. What is going on?

Many, many, people have issues with self-referential inconsistency. It takes discipline, and importantly, resolve to not just accept the legitimacy of someone doing something you don't like, but to support their continued being able to do it on the basis of it being predicated on the same foundational values you claim your agency stems from. This is the whole part of where "bravery" comes into the picture with the actual act of exercising liberty and self-determination.

>How is it that we defend this blatant anti-pole of what we claim are our values as a collective?

Talk is cheap. Walk is expensive, messy, and full of unpleasant consequences. People have gotten out of the habit of actually standing up for capital L, Liberty. When liberty is a mere guideline, this is the kind of slide/speaking-out-of-the-side-of-one's-mouth/equivocation we end up sliding toward. Institutions getting co-opted by people with their own agendas in mind.
Oh yeah, the hospital's anti-union posters were quite something; just transparently bullshit/misleading. Stuff like "your union can't promise you a raise!" - well, neither is the hospital.
Sure, ignore everything for a week.

Unless you want to make money in prediction markets - then help out humanity by reading as much information as possible and moving the price so that people who don't have time to do that can have better information.

A week is a long time in a fast moving conflict, and the ambiguity favours the defenders if it slows down any attack.

An explosion at a hospital doesn't need a golden rule of 100% discount rate for 1 week. That's insane. Anyone telling you 100% of anything is incorrect because the world doesn't work like that.
> Non-profits, in theory, serve a societal/community purpose

True of charities and certain other classes of non-profits, not true of other non-profits unless “societal/community purpose” is reduced to a meaningless phrase covering every possible purpose besides returning profits, including enabling a group of sppnsoring firms to earn bigger profits.
Out of curiosity, do you make a lot of money from the ads? I find small niche sites like this to be somewhat less nice to use because of the ads, especially on mobile where they take up lots of limited real estate. And it seems to me that they can’t be generating that much money given the niche topic. But maybe I’m wrong!
It's wild that people are still pushing the IDF bombed a hospital narrative. You have to be willfully ignorant or just lying.
Seems like we're witnessing a bubble collapse in mainstream news.
You don't have to actually do it. In the same way you don't have to calculate and sort every number's prime factors to prove the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. Or, a closer example: You don't need to calculate Euler's number to prove that it exists. For the articles, you only need to postulate that individual ones can be more or less interesting than other articles.
thanks for this information :)

now would you mind telling me the name of your first pet?

The visual evidence is what makes me think Palestinian militants (accidentally) caused the explosion.

First, live footage from Al Jazeera at the time showed rockets firing from a location in Gaza toward Israel. One rocket appeared to malfunction in mid-air and within a few seconds, an explosion happened on the ground approximately where the hospital is. The lean-too shape of the hospital roof can even be seen in the light from the explosion.

Second, daytime footage after the explosion showed that the hospital was still standing, with burned out cars in the parking lot. Several palm trees nearby were standing and unscathed (it was hard to tell if there were even scorch marks). The parking lot had a small crater maybe a meter in diameter with very little penetration into the ground. Israel's weapons have much stronger explosives, which would likely have completely destroyed the parking lot and wreaked havoc on adjacent buildings.

IMO, those two pieces of evidence strongly indicate to me that the Palestinians fired this rocket and it accidentally caused an explosion in the hospital parking lot.

One confusing aspect of the story to me is the death toll given in a matter of minutes after the explosion. It seems extremely improbable to me that anyone could confidently say 500 people died so quickly unless they were spreading propaganda.
I highly recommend YNAB. It pulled my financial life together a decade ago. Synced apps on the phone and web. It also introduced me to envelope budgeting, which I found to be super useful.

If you want to do investment tracking, I don’t think it’s the best for that.
Why on earth would you need e-ink in an environment where you have full control over the light?

Just use a normal display and set it to the brightness you like. More even illumination, no flickering when the outside light changes. If you really want to: put a photo sensor or two on the outside, smooth the f* out of them and use that to dim up or down a bit.
Economics. The scarcity of devs always leads to rationing and its related sources of friction. From the "requestor" standpoint, friction could dominate the cost of getting things done.
Even if you don't imply known malice, you have a major factor - if a bystander is asked a question they very rarely will say "I don't know" or actually just describe what they saw. It's a well-known effect, and why analyzing recordings can be much more effective.
I wonder if waynesonfire will ever return to elaborate on what the mean exactly by that.

I'm not really sure how 'Not Invented Here' applies to someone building an OSS project.
Think of nonprofit not as another term for benevolent or charitable organization (which is what people instinctively think), but as an alternative tax accounting scheme. Excess revenue gets funneled to the insiders at the top so that at tax year end there is no profit. Presumably these insiders are paying income tax.

I once knew a guy who worked in the field of providing services to non-profits, and he described to me the lavish retreats provided to people in the industry, the first-class air travel and five-star hotels provided for travel. He called it the charitable industrial complex.

Take a hard look at the tooth to tail ratio of the organization the next time you make a charitable contribution.
What's crazy is that I think something like this would be super cool, but the website and marketing copy actually turn me off from this execution of the idea.

I will look for another company to do this, just based on what I see here. Unless the reviews show that the product supersedes this presentation.
This is exactly it. Many charity hospitals were started by religious orders sworn to poverty. Things change the moment the laity step in. Lay ceos want to make money. Nuns cannot.
I know e-ink is expensive. But two tiny screens aren't THAT expensive. Someone will probably a have version of this on Hack A Day made from spares.
I agree. Why throw away perfectly good work out of some bizarre idea about "notability?" What's notable now is now what will be notable in the future.

Hey HN, I helped build the Sol Reader glasses and would love to answer any questions. It helps that I've spent months using the glasses and can attest to the increased amount of reading these glasses have unlocked. I have a 2 year old and making time for reading books is hard, but now I've found chunks of phone time being replaced with Sol time, esp. in the middle of the night when I don't want to have a light on that wakes my partner.

One note on the screen resolution, the screenshot linked on this thread is from our SDL2 simulator. The actual page feels more like paper, with warm eink artifacts and slight character bleed. No one who puts these glasses on talks about the resolution, instead they all have this huge smile on their face.
Bezos wasn't holding guns to the heads of Amazon employees. To the contrary. The existence of Amazon created more demand for workers which resulted in more options for them, as well as better pay and working conditions.

Where do you get your worker exploitation from? That is absolute nonsense.
The things border agents get away with make an absolute mockery of the constitution. They have the ability to seize and search devices (phones, computers) without a warrant within 100 mi of the us border or international airports.

I also distinctly remember a story during the Portland protests of unidentified government agents (later revealed to be border patrol) throwing people into unmarked vehicles. I fail to see how that's any different than kidnapping. It's certainly how security services the world over 'disappear' their citizens.

I am usually 100% for peaceful protest over violent resistance, but in such a circumstance I don't think any jury in the land would convict someone of killing such an agent that refused to identify themselves.
Re first paragraph:

> The only real step 1 — unless you want to get into a philosophical argument about the foundation of knowledge and the Münchhausen trilemma — is "get a law degree", which for most people is much too hard.

Go and do the thing. I'm serious, if you want to make this a real actual argument and not just two random nerds locking horns on the internet (which I'm not interested in so you'd have to find a real actual lawyer to spar with after getting that degree), that's the only way — there is no other.

> Also, have you heard of selective enforcement? Does it not worry you at all to see the one side consistently getting prosecuted and persecuted and the other one not at all? Do you think you're always going to be on the right side?

You could've figured that one out from my own comment a few hours earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37954311

> pour encourager les autres

desole, je ne pe parle francais (seriously, I try to say that in French and my French coworker is all "quoi?" because my French is that bad)

> And the sight of literally Putin doing literally the same thing doesn't trigger the least amount of thought in your mind.

On the contrary, for every punishment in the systems in which I exist, I often find myself thinking back to an old movie quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBiLT3LASk

(This is particularly poignant to me, as a British person, because of the context of the Human Rights Act 1998 and its use in polemics during half the discussion about Brexit even though technically it's separate: I do not trust any power that says "trust me").

You however (unless you want to deny this now?) give every indication of sincerely appearing to believe that anyone on Team Trump can only be arrested falsely, not honestly.

As for Navalny’s lawyers? If they're guilty or not? You may not have seen the final edit to the comment where I made a D&D comparison — I don't know if they're guilty of "real" crimes, nor if they're even guilty of "laws passed by Putin to lock up troublemakers", but those two states are almost indistinguishable without being a constitutional law expert, and I've been (attempting to be) clear on the difficulty there from your first direct response to me. (Discuss: Is {Putin|Trump} "lawful evil" or "chaotic"?)

I perceive that folks are more or less lining up to work for Amazon even in the roles you're describing, meaning it represents meaningful opportunity for them in contrast to their other alternatives.

The Amazon delivery guys I interact with seem pretty happy. I read the same things you read about the horrors of warehouse work but it's pretty hard to know how much of that is spin vs real vs normal. Again, presumably if it was the worst people won't work there.
