No, if you read history, Israel had done a ton of stuff to make Europe and America happy.

They invaded the Suez Canal when Egypt tried to nationalize it. They did it for France and Britain.

During the Cold War, they provided of information to the US govt about Soviet assets. They also tell the US information about other countries from their intelligence.

The fact of the matter is Israel’s neighbors hate Israel so they need to get support from whoever they can, so they try to appease Europe and America. America goes along with it because it works out for us. Israel also also economically and technologically in a better spot than a lot of other Middle Eastern countries which are already semi-hostile to America, so they’re one of the better allies to have in that region.

America doesn’t give a damn about Israel anymore than France. It’s the working relationship that keeps it going — for both parties.

The problem right now is that both Israel and Palestine are both run by extreme right wingers. Extremist right wingers are always trying to start wars.

However, US foreign policy generally prefers having a working relationship than caring if a country is democratic or ticking the “is good” boxes. Most countries in the world make terrible allies. They’re weak, or they’re unstable, or every 30 years, their system of government will have completely changed. Despite the shit Israel does, they are consistent and stable, two traits many countries have not figured out.

Maybe watch the hurdy gurdy video side by side, I believe there's a filmed section of the narrator in there. He's been making these highly detailed videos for a long time and has spent years on this video alone. I highly doubt there's any AI involved.

Edit: not sure when this happened but it appears many videos of his face have been removed from both channels so maybe don't go looking since it seems he doesn't want to be found but rest assured that Fredrik Knudsen is a real person who just sounds like that
“We don’t know” or “it’s spontaneous” is the definitive answer for what gives an unstable atom its nudge.

https://www.thoughtco.com/why-radioactive-decay-occurs-60864...

I personally don’t like the answer that it’s “spontaneous”, but I vaguely grok that any explanation has to step beyond QM/QCD as we know it.

There are hidden variable QM interpretations that exist, but marrying them with Special Relativity appears to be difficult.

There are even more exotic hidden variables theories like
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/515720/what-is-t...

but none of these variables are measurable with regards to making predictions on decay.

I’m also way out of my field so I may be wrong here.

But Israel does allow food and water to enter Gaza. Some fuel. And yes, it stopped providing a portion of Gaza's electricity.

I think this (new) Wikipedia article is somewhat iffy. And maybe I'm misusing terminology. I think Israel's actions in this context constitute a blockade that is legal in times of war. I don't want to nitpick siege vs. blockage etc. or the fact that Israel doesn't control all the borders. Israel's actions here are legal.
There are plenty of collisions where a car collides with something at slow speeds like in a parking lot or at an intersection. In these collisions, it’s preferable for the car to “give” a little bit and not just crush someone’s kneecaps. It makes me wonder if there’s gonna be higher insurance costs associated with a car that is more likely to have higher liability claims.
A collection of links posted to a minor website that is historically obsessed with all things Tesla is not representative or indicative of any kind of "hyperfocus" in the broader world.

You seem to be advocating that PostNord bring in strike breakers to do the jobs of the people at strike?

That would be an insane way to escalate the conflict to a level which would bring down the entire force of all the unions combined. They are a huge employer and to even bring up the idea would be regarded infinitely more serious than whatever tiny Tesla is doing.

This is a conflict that PostNord has zero desire to be part of. Their employees are on a perfectly legal strike, they will handle this by the book. All their contracts with their customers already stipulates exactly what can be expected in a force majeure situation such as this, and their union is careful not to disrupt their business more than necessary as that is in their best interest.
My deepest condolences. Words fail.

Not particularly relevant due to lawsuits involving game cheating, where the circumstances are very similar.

Beeper is lucky they weren't sued under the DMCA anti-circumvention clause, as they clearly were bypassing the technological measures Apple uses to prevent genuine devices from connecting to iMessage & Apple services.
The cybertruck is unique in that it does not crumple like modern cars do, due to its stainless steel construction. Making cars into tanks is actually pretty easy, and back in the 50s cars were built like that. But people in collisions often died in them because of physics. It’s like the difference between running into a wall of concrete at 30 mph vs a wall of cushion. The point shouldn’t be “preserve the car, break the human,” it should be the opposite. Elon dgaf,
this is his baby.
I don't have a list, but the modern replacement for "ifconfig" does JSON: "ip"

As does "lldpctl"

Ansible provides details about systems in JSON called 'facts'. The intention is to use these to inform automation
Are there any vehicle regulations designed to protect pedestrians or cyclists? A quick search of "pedestrian" in the FMVSS returns nothing [1].

The Young Supernova Experiment
youtube-dl, NewPipe, and uBlock Origin exist solely for the purpose of empowering the individual, yet they are constantly attacked on HN as being tools used unfairly to harm Google's profitability. Open-source projects like Matrix, PeerTube, Mastodon, are built to be free and open-source for the benefit of end-users and lack of vendor lockin. Yet each is derided on HackerNews for not being enough like their corporate counterparts. Yes, there are those here who don't do that, but as cynical as it sounds, I do think this site's audience is mostly folk who like the status quos set by FAANG-types and don't really care about hackerism outside of toy websites.

In Estonia we largely don't have human cashiers in grocery stores anymore. What a few years ago was almost entirely human driven thing is now almost entirely automated registries, with only 1 person overseeing any potential issues. The vast majority of cashiers are now unemployed, and need to figure out how to get a new job or a new skill, which can be hard to do if you previously made minimum wage, lived paycheck to paycheck, and don't have the luxury of time.

Another such job that is disappearing in Estonia is food (https://www.starship.xyz/) and package delivery (https://www.dpd.com/cn/en/2022/08/09/self-driving-delivery-r...), which we are also replacing with robots, meaning all those people will soon be unemployed, if not already in some amount.

I have a hard time seeing how automation helps these people. And these people are growing a disdain towards people like me, tech people, who put them out of work. Low-skilled jobs are becoming increasingly scarce to find, and with people not having resources or time to level up their education, they are stuck. I know many people like this myself. Struggling to pay bills, no light at the end of the tunnel.

If the government would give some support to these people misplaced by automation, maybe it would help lift these people out of poverty indeed, but that's not happening. There is no support. These people are on their own.
Maybe someone (else) might want to put an electric vehicle crate engine into one of these Morgan competitors of days gone by:

> > In order to be able to live together we need to learn our history

> Strong disagree. History is important, but we need to solve present problems.

I'll go a step further. All history surrounding this must be forgotten, to move forward. There are grievances and counter-grievances, ancestral claims and counter-claims, and conflicting divine proclamations. Those have to all be thrown away, and instead consider only the current situation.
No, but our professor assigned teams at random, gave us a buggy spec, and then changed the spec with one week to go during finals week. (This last part appears to have planned; they did it every year.)

This was a surprisingly effective course, if sadistic.
Yeah, proving GP’s point exactly. This sounds like cosplay.

> But conflating anti-Israeli views with anti-Semitic views does a disservice to Jews and Palestinians alike.

Anti-Israeli views are anti-Semitic views when criticizing Israel and Israel only, for actions that are done by dozens of states over the course of decades.

If the people spouting anti-Israel sentiment spouted the same sentiment for the same actions done a dozen times over by other nations, then they would not be anti-Semitic. In fact, I would agree with the vast majority of them. But when they ignore the 300,000 killed in Syria, or the 600,000 killed in Ethiopia, or the situations in Yemen, Mail, Turkey, or even Gaza when Hamas murders hundreds of Palestinians, or in Syria where the regime kills thousands of Palestinians, then it is clear that they are not stewards of "human rights" or "civilians" or even "values". Rather, they are abusing these ideas to promote an anti-Semitic agenda. These people actually need dead Palestinians to further their agenda.

Walled garden development practices sold under the guise of privacy and security. It's a very tired and old playbook that has real societal damage. So. Tired. Of. It.
This is very basic stuff. You are overthinking it.

Microsoft is in the group of "big five" tech companies (Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft). IBM is not in that group.

The reason for that is IBM is significantly smaller in terms of revenue and market cap and so on. IBM exists in a tier below the "big tech" level. This is how company sizes are measured.

Very simple. Not complicated.

Server operating systems are a small fraction of Microsoft's business.
Also WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Telegram, LINE, and a handful of others with more than a half-billion users. Are those heptopolists or septopolists?

The word "monopolist" in 2023 seems to mean "a company whose corporate values are different than my personal ones and/or whose pricing and packaging don't match my consumption function and/or who has a lot of money and of whom I am jealous".

Yes, go to…most other countries on Earth, pull someone off the street, and they’ll probably going to scoff at this uniquely American phenomenon.

I can use multiple messengers in parallel without issue, as I did each time in those transitional periods.

The last messages on a dying messenger are always instructions on how to move on to the next thing. In skype, my status and most recent messages are just informing people of my discord handle. I accept that I may not be the norm, because generally I don't reach out to people and don't initiate contact, meaning that the onus is on them to use the appropriate channel to reach me.

Maybe it's worse for people who voluntarily stay in contact with many others using different messengers, but I don't see the problem with just having multiple messaging apps, especially since modern phones just consolidate all messaging services's contacts into your contacts app (at least on Android). You don't even need to remember who is reachable where.

Can I say it one more time? Get him building eurorack modules. It's like legos for sound. So many possible combinations! Everything is voltage controlled, so the output of anything can be inputs for anything.

And you get to build lots of cool circuits. Designing your own isn't hard, you can get really far with just op-amps and resistor/capacitor circuits.

some of the resistors are potometers, of course. So you have some knobs to turn.

But it is usually bog-standard chips. op-amp, simple gates, 8-bit buffers.

That’s the thing with laws, they don’t prevent crime, they just enumerate it.

Any time I hear a politician say they are going to reduce a particular crime by passing a law, I wonder why existing laws aren’t enforced that likely already cover the behavior being targeted. I suppose that would mean planning, logistics, and execution - things politicians don’t know how to do.
It might not protect its occupants, if all that force gets thrown at the driver instead of the front end of the car. Crumple zones soften impacts on occupants, at the expense of destroying the car.

More like running into a wall of concrete while holding a piece of concrete in front of you vs. holding a pillow.

It reminded me of a video from China, in which a bike helmet merchant (?) proudly displays how his helmet can withstand blows from a sledgehammer, while the other helmets crumple. Like, bro, it supposed to crumple.
> current government doesn't want to make welfare easy to access, they want to actually deter people to use it unless they absolutely need it.

The more complex a system, the more skill and resources (ability, time, finances) it takes to navigate it.

Eventually, complexity serves to exclude everyone but people who are able to make a career out of pursuing benefits - who are also more likely to be fraudsters.
Claiming that a force currently committing a genocide has "moral clarity" is simultaneously propaganda and a justification of the genocide, yes.

It's the other way around. Unionized workers have traded away their right to strike without union support.

Anyone can strike, it is a basic right, but good luck not getting paid. That salary might have been handy for the legal representation after being fired too.
Some people recover, others don’t. That is actually how humans are.

I remember reading about a psychology case of two sisters getting constantly raped by their father.

One of them finally grabbed the dad’s rifle and shot him. One of them recovered and went on to live a normal life and the other spent the rest of her life in treatment.

But what’s ultimately clear is that Israel in its current form is not sustainable. Either they change, meaning they stop calling and treating people they don’t like, like animals, or they launch an all out war with all their neighbors in which case all bets are off. The media is guilty in this. If they hadn’t perpetuated this myth that the USA is infinitely powerful and will defeat anyone standing in Israel’s way they would have had to find a way to arrange themselves with their neighbors.

We need effective anti-trust regulation to keep markets competitive. And that hasn't been the case for decades.

A huge % of the goods & services in this world are in the hands of a couple dozen massive conglomerates, after endless consolidation.

This particular narrative seems so believable to me, that a couple companies lead the way jacking up prices in a time of crisis while bandying about shitty airless crap about inflation & costs while profits soared. The very big giants doing this set a precedent & narrative, created a vibe that could perpetuate & extend greedflation. The exact same hype & fury lead us to believe retail theft was astronomically worse: again, now that the chips are falling, we see: this was a boldfaced lie.
the issue with this is that something like this shouldn't be an option for systems that can be trivially accessed anonymously.

Like if the system can easily be used to exfiltrate information or perform criminal actions but you can do so anonymously without much effort or more generally doing so remotely in a jurisdiction where you can never be prosecuted, then that system is broken.

Systems that rely on a person not wanting to get caught breaking the rules only work when A the person cares and B the person is capable of being punished. If that invariant doesn't hold up then the system is broken.
It’s not clear to me the regulators understand what risks they are actually mitigating, if any.

I wasn’t being sarcastic, I mean you do know there exist closed source for a reason whatever that is. For Apple to open their protocol would mean your messages sent to 3rd party clients, which means they could sell your messages for ad targeting or worse.
And no one is obligated to come to the Theme park. There's an entire world of people who never visit the theme park, mock the people who do, and couldn't care less about it. But some people want to be included as going to the park, when they don't. Some people are very judgy and don't want to talk to people who don't go to the park...

Okay, I've stretched the metaphor out enough.
It’s spooky. If you think about it if Apple can block an app what is to stop them from breaking into your garage and modifying your car to talk like KITT from Knight Rider but instead of being helpful it makes mean remarks about your clothes that make you cry?? What if Apple filled your refrigerator with concrete? They could build a brick wall in front of your house and paint a replica of the outside on it so you run into it like a looney toon!

I don’t know too many humans who could answer that half as well.
> Each shape (such as a rectangle or an oval) had a different set of handles,

Yet, that's not what the code says. The objects have multiple methods with similar signatures representing handling.

The right thing here is to make the handles objects. The objects know what their parent is and send it messages "I have moved". There is one method in the shape which is reponsible for handle-initiated movement. The object looks at which handle has moved (it's an argument), and other state like Shift constraint, and adjusts its representation accordingly.

The behavior of how to respond to which handles should still be the responsibility of the shape. Commonality there could be factored out into some common functions such that if you need to special-case something, the in that shape you stop using the common functions entirely, or use them as a fallback for whatever behavior remains that is common.

Multiple dispatch is made for this; the movement behavior is a combination which shape and which handle. With a precise specialization of a multiply-dispatched method, you can code behavior for an exact shape and handle, overriding any less specific definition.

This is all a Solved Problem.
