It is a mess. Nowadays all devices support both frequencies, but I have heard from Japanese colleagues that back in the day if you moved accross the frequency boundary, you needed to replace your appliances. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Japan has a huge second hard market?

But the real problem came after the Tohoku earthquake of 2011, when several powerplants in the Eastern half of the country went offline, and they couldn't not transfer enough power from the Western half. There are a few conversion stations, but their capacity was not enough, and as such the Eastern half endured long black-outs even though the country had enough surplus power generation capacity.

I implemented this algorithm when creating a language interpreter. It felt like magic when it worked!

In my case, I used it to build an AST, rather than evaluate the calculation.
Add AI and blockchain, so I know I can safely invest millions into it.
You say that like it's a bad thing ("get away"). iMessage has nowhere near a majority and Apple doesn't put in any restrictions against alternative messaging software (…not that they're perfect, and haven't in other areas…).
I've been using Signal since it was Text Secure and Red Phone. I've got most of my friend group switched over to it
Is that true, though? I wouldn't trust anything an AI told me without verifying it elsewhere first.
There actually a bunch of competition for messaging apps, which put forward user needs and drives innovation though.
Bad logic. Strength archetypal characters should be fun.
It is interesting, been thinking about that myself a bit: some random associated thoughts: NeurIPS is next week, & there was OpenAI drama news that went under the radar due to Friday rule.

> You're asking israelis to take a huge risk and with minimal ROI - why should they?

It's not Israel's choice or business, effectively. Every Palestinian person has the same right to self-determination as every Israeli/Jewish person. It's also international law about occupied territory seized in war, etc. Israel relies on those rights and laws too.

The ROI is the end of endless warfare, which is Israel's current situation (as is very evident). War is politics by other means; without a political solution, wars continue indefinitely.

> I believe we should start with 2 states, and maybe after trust is rebuilt we can look into unionizing them.

Do you mean a separate Gaza country and West Bank country, along side an Israel country - a three state solution? Again, it's really up to the Palestinians how they want to organize themselves. Who are you to tell them otherwise? Could they tell you what you do in your country?
And a lot of other users "couldn't possibly care less" about downloading MP3.EXE files off Limewire

other users today "couldn't possibly care less" about keeping their systems updated let alone running any kind of Anti-Virus

Unfortunately throwing its hands up and saying "nobody cares so why bother" isn't really a great look for a software vendor
>Don't you think it may be useful to use a different slogan from the people who mean and do that?

They're not responsible for what supporters of Israel infer from this phrase.

>But we can't. There won't be a one-state solution that satisfies everyone

Those who are unsatisfied with not living within a racist ethnostate would be welcome to leave and doubtless many would.

Many South Africans packed their bags and left after apartheid.

>We need to come up with a meaningful two-state solution, but that failed multiple times. So what's left? What solution do you think both sides may agree on, assuming good faith negotiations?

The two state solution failed many times because of a lack of good faith on Israel's side. They supported the creation of Hamas as an Islamist bulwark against the PA precisely to stymie a two state solution.

The only thing that would get them to negotiate in good faith is losing American support. That is key.

>I think the situation in West Bank is much better both for Israelis and Palestinians than the situation in Gaza

They are oppressed and murdered at a far lower tempo. If youve ever seen the way Israelis in, say, Hebron treat Palestinians (i.e. like subhuman scum) you wouldnt ever say that they had it good.
250 is a bit low, but otherwise, interesting idea
Thanks. I get that. I think that is why I prefer smaller companies. I find bigger companies usually can’t keep the work interesting but there are some exceptions where teams are carved out.
I'm not a fan of some of the things Elon has done recently, like really not a fan, bigly, but I also know I don't have to love the whole person to really appreciate some things that person has done.

And Tesla wouldn't be Tesla without Elon, it wouldn't be nearly as innovative. There definitely wouldn't be a Tesla Semi that is going to change the trucking industry, there wouldn't be a Cybertruck that is going to change the farm truck industry. EVs wouldn't be nearly as far along as they are now.

I suppose ousting Elon would keep Tesla where it is now, but that is like ousting Jobs from Apple. Elon has many great ideas and he delivers.

I don't have to agree with his personal politics to really appreciate what Elon has done for humanity. He is one persistent person, and he gets things done. I mean, how many people have internet access now that didn't before due to Starlink. It wasn't just him obviously, it was a very large team of people. But he somehow got those people to believe in the mission. And THEY delivered. And I don't think we would be where we would be today with renewable energy and electric vehicles if it wasn't for his contributions.

Again, we don't have to like the whole person to appreciate their contributions. None of us are perfect, and some of us say highly offensive things in public hat can feel very threatening and may actually be threatening to some.

I think Elon's public statements sometimes are taken even more seriously because some/many of us idolized Elon (myself included) for a while. And there was this big reveal of like "oh, I don't like that part of you", "what you said was insensitive and mean". And then this tendency to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and overlook everything great that he has done.

It is a complicated thing for sure.
I always wondered if those software-based technological bubbles (and I’m not necessarily agreeing that LLM-based AI is one of them) are doing so much harm to the overall progress of software, that we need at some point to explicitly identify it as a risk to the whole industry and the professional community. Imagining the possible negative effects of any sort of bubble burst in the area of AI while also understanding the true potential of the underlying technology is a painful realisation. “We could’ve done so much”-kinda feeling. Maybe I’m just too pessimistic.
> The CFAA prohibits intentionally accessing a computer without authorization or in excess of authorization, but fails to define what “without authorization” means.

- From the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers

Other way around. If anything, it sounds to me like Beeper Mini was acting illegally by accessing Apple’s servers in a way they didn’t give permission for.

The CFAA is ripe for abuse. I’m not saying applying it here would be just or not, only that Apple likely wasn’t the one acting illegally.
Fwiw regarding the no cost gitlab - it's in the faq:

> What happens after my free trial ends?

> Your GitLab Ultimate trial lasts 30 days. After this period, you can maintain a GitLab Free account forever or upgrade to a paid plan.

I agree that CE should have been more prominent on gitlab.com - it's practically impossible to discover - even if you know what you are looking for.
Fair enough, I was being annoyingly pedantic.

I've had plumbers tear out drywall and then leave it that way, because they don't do drywall, and it's my impression from others that's normal.
AIUI, the fact that well-founded recursion is encoded as "noncomputable" in Lean is just a wart/quirk of that particular system; it can be justified in dependent type theory which is quite constructive and used by other systems such as Coq.
What did I say that was dehumanizing? If you're talking about me putting the word "murder" in quotes, it's because casualties of war aren't usually referred to as victims of murder, but I was quoting the parent post.

> Additionally, this does not explain the violence being done in the West Bank to Palestinians, a population that is notably not ruled by Hamas.

There are definitely Hamas operatives there as well, not to mention a public that is overwhelmingly supportive of Hamas's actions. I'm not saying this to say they should be "punished", I'm saying this to explain that there are genuine security threats that Israel needs to deal with in the WB as well.

That said, some of the violence there is totally unjustified, especially violence instigated by settlers and not the IDF.

> Everyone fudges demo's

No, not everyone fudges demos. But some do, and Google has a track record of it.

That said, it's common enough that I view all demos -- and especially those that I'm not seeing live in person -- with deep skepticism.
But Whatsapp's popularity on iOS already shows that "normal" (whatever that means) users already have a choice. The market is not being constrained by Apple.
If they tried that in the US basically everyone on android would switch to iOS the next day.
I'm less likely to trust "open source but kinda not" platforms like GitLab. It's only a matter of time before more options get locked down and you're looking at paying for a code forge.

Git is free software and always has been. All these forges being split between community and enterprise are just so clearly people trying to make money on the popularity of other technology.

There don't appear to be any one-time purchase options, either. So, a subscription so you can collaborate with other people... Yeah, no.

cgit and Mantis and bugzilla all still work and are actual libre software.
On what basis does the proportion not matter at all? Do you have a particular ethical justification? A philosophy underpinning this?
The West Bank settlements are illegal. It’s happening because of capitalism and the extreme power imbalance. I don’t think those settlements are a Zionist thing.

If we had a sovereign nation of Palestine, there wouldn’t be settlements in the West Bank. The world wouldn’t allow it.

The trouble is that the Palestinian leadership didn’t accept any offer of an independent Palestine. They want Israel to not exist.

If I recall correctly, unlike the formation of Israel, the West Bank settlements didn’t relocate anyone. I could be wrong?
There's a proposed framework[1] in the EU that's rather restrictive. Seems like they're just not even bothering, perhaps to make a point.

This happens a lot more than one may think especially with products that have lot of features. Some features are used sparingly and the moment a customer uses that feature a bit more in depth, boom. Something is broken.
I wouldn't be surprised if ISC DHCP (now defunct) would suffer the same issue when configured for Dynamic DNS updates with Active Directory. Functionally, it works identically to MSFT DHCP when performing DDNS updates in an AD-integrated zone.
In order to be able to live together we need to learn our history, and of course being Palestinian myself i am biased, but I think the Israelis in particular need to learn their history, have you watched the documentary Tantura btw? you can find it here https://archive.org/details/tantura_2022.

Israel needs to first admit that it's establishment was on the expense of another people that are still suffering until today, without that, it's difficult to move forward, as well as continuing this conversation.

> Don't you think it may be useful to use a different slogan from the people who mean and do that?

Maybe, I don't know what else can it be! the slogan is not calling for killing anyone, FREEDOM = Dignity, Human Rights, I personally just want to be able to go to the beach and travel from an airport nearby.

My read of GP's comment was that the claim of tortious interference would be by Beeper against Apple (for interfering with Beeper's relationship with Beeper's customers).
> > Aviation in particular has a very strong culture around (government mandated) checklists and post-crash investigations

That's the reason why aviation can only shine when it becomes a private means of transportation, and I don't mean 70mm private jets but, 150k light helicopters.

When a critical mass is hit then accidents will become no more traumatic to the collective psyche than car accidents, the lighter the aircraft the better because it would seem exactly like a car crash as opposed to leaving a huge burning hole into the ground
The "well duh" crowd says "well duh" no matter what happens.
Eh. Both games have many exploits that make the game busted. BG3 is honestly way worse because of its consumables systems. But ignoring it and playing a fairly vanilla strategy is probably better.

Okta is terrible at security. They don't even implement basic functionality. You can change another users email address without confirmation. Further, there's no way to report the breach -- they do send an email but the instructions for reporting the problem are completely incorrect.

I cannot believe how bad they are. This is basic, basic stuff.
> Before that the region was ruled by the Ottomans for some 400 years.

You don't see how being part of a large, well-regarded Muslim Empire (a true Caliphate) has an effect on the psyche of the largely Muslim Palestinians? Or why they'd be against Western-rule in the post-Ottoman world of 1918+?

I'm certainly not calling the Ottomans saints. But the Ottomans were stewards of the Muslim world for those centuries.

If Britain realized how much trouble all of this Middle Eastern crap would be after the dissolution of the Ottomans, I'm sure they would have rewritten the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres.

It's hard to apply technology properly when you don't start with good intents.
One thing which is really confusing is why are Android users obsessed with iMessage? Android users can send text messages to iPhones, the can call iPhone users, and they can use third party messaging apps to communicate with iPhone users.

It really isn’t clear to me why so many people are so angry they cannot use iMessage on Android.
That is disappointing, but I'm also a little curious - why did this go all the way to field trials if the gene insertion was completely screwed up, to the point of being on the wrong chromosome?

In November 2023, through molecular analyses performed by partners at the University of New England and University of Maine, TACF learned that the OxO gene of all Darling 58 trees was on a different chromosome than expected (chromosome 4 instead of chromosome 7). Upon further and additional independent investigation, scientists confirmed that the trees they had been researching were in fact descendants of a different event in the Darling line in which the OxO gene had been inserted into a coding region, causing a deletion in a known gene. That research has also indicated that the homozygous state (when an individual plant inherits the OxO gene from both parents, which occurs in 25% of offspring) is lethal, and that a majority of homozygous offspring die in the embryonic stage.

TACF researchers suspect that the performance issues of Darling trees stem primarily from the placement of the OxO gene as well as the constitutive expression of the OxO gene which is always “switched on” via the 35S promoter. Somewhat like having a constant fever, that constitutive promotion appears to result in high metabolic costs for the trees. All events in the Darling line use this promoter. Therefore, TACF is no longer pursuing research efforts with any event in the Darling line.

If you are breeding to insert a single, specific, gene, into a single, specific place, it would seem like you'd of course do some sequencing to verify that it went in at the expected place and didn't do anything else off-target (like cause deletions in an unrelated gene), before you invested a year in field trials.

Is sequencing of tree genomes still so expensive that it makes sense to fail in the field first and only then go looking for problems?
The word "toxic" has lost all meaning these days. It would be interesting to see some actual examples. I've worked with people, in the past, who would be considered "toxic" by today's standards. For example, they were disagreeable, pointing out when time was being wasted on tangents, demanding data to back up claims, and all those other nasty things that help keep a team truthful and on track. They were great to work for, if you could stomach criticism and directness, which seems to be getting rare.
They have another product, Beeper Cloud, does the same thing + includes a bunch of other messaging services but (as the name implies) runs in the "Cloud"
> There is also an age-old debate about whether CS departments are trade schools, math departments, or science. Personally I think software engineering skills are paramount for 90% of graduates.

The question as well is: are Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering trade schools?

I think it's a key call out as CS touches on so many things.

There are arguments for it being math, science, engineering, a trade school or a combination of the above.

And then if you separate them out completely you end up with people doing CS being out of touch with what happens in the real world and vice versa.

I think in the end you probably need to have a single overall degree with a specialization in (Programming as Engineering, Programming as Math and Programming as Computer Science,) with lots of overlap in the core.

And then you still can have a both a bootcamp style trade school.

Now all of that said, that still doesn't solve the CS equivalent of "Math for business majors". Or the equivalent of "Programming for Scientists", or the like which is already a really important case to offer. Where you major in Bio/Chem/Other but being able to apply programming to your day job is important.
Although that probably sits closer to the Applied Software category that you might find in business school like using spreadsheets, basic command lines, intro to databases or python.

But to your point, how rarely software engineering is being taught is a huge problem. Even if only 30% of degree holders took classes in it, it would be huge in helping spread best practices.
(1) is exactly what that quote is pointing out. If Apple actually cared about its users' security, they would see this as a gap, and would have addressed it already. The fact that they haven't means that, despite all their posturing about being a security-first platform, they care more about lock-in and marketing than they do about user security.
I was told this was impossible. What happened?
I'm from Poland, and there's a chance I was going by those specific immobilized trains--I lived in Wrocław and used Koleje Dolnośląskie (Lower Silesia Railways) to "scout" the area (there are some beautiful places around Wrocław).

And I only learnt about this whole train "vendor lock-in" from HN. Otherwise I either wouldn't know about it, or I would learn about it weeks or months later.
Did you mean "but it uses a sliding window beyond" *8K*? Because I don't understand how the sentence would work otherwise.
Not by Apple anyway. But it'll save them having to search WhatsApp :)
Apple is probably the company that most has my interests at heart: they're very privacy focused, masterful at encryption and making it simple, and makes products I love.

Do you really think they're the worlds most valuable company because of "corporate interests" and not because people like their products?
OP was suggesting that calling it "mutilation" is making fun of the circumcised individual in a derogatory manner. To my point, I am perfectly comfortable referring to my having been circumcised as a "mutilation" without my feeling "mutilated" in a derogatory sense. I don't mind others referring to the process as mutilation because it doesn't make me feel "mutilated" or "barbaric" when they do so.
If I had a choice and had to choose between (1) high-pay, not-safety-critical at FAANG, vs. (2) low-pay, safety-critical, I can't imagine why I'd go for (2), outside of maybe hobby when I had too much money already.
An intentional gap? Or a bug that they've now fixed?
You may want to do some research on alternative reasons for Muslim countries not take in Palestinian refugees. Such as, for example, not wanting to repeat the fate of Lebanon and, partly, Jordan, which did - resulting Lebanon devolving into a failed state, and Jordan just barely escaping full scale civil war.

You also declare that Israel is the enemy of Muslim nations, which it is not, unless forced by hostilities explicitly declared by the other side.
