Not quite I don't think.

Anyone surprised by basebands being vulnerable should know these things:

- there are only three big players in town: Qualcomm, Mediatek and Samsung, and the latter is pretty rare to find outside of Samsung's own devices and the Google Pixel lineup (where they also have been implicated in security [4] and battery performance [5] issues)

- Qualcomm is infamous for suing anyone including Apple for patents crap, which is how this oligopoly formed in the first place, and why there's barely any competition

- It's not the first time serious vulnerabilities have appeared in baseband chips [1]

- and finally, to a possible cause, Qualcomm's development practices [2] are even worse than what's reported about Oracle [3], if these (anonymous) HN comments are to be believed.

For general aviation, yes. For pressurised cabins, life is measured in pressure cycles. A long flight wears the structure about as much as a short one; it's the inflating and deflating that counts.

Some behaviors are simply unacceptable - and the current blockade has been found to be illegal by the UN time and time again, or at least would have been without US vetos.
They can, but they'd have to make those downloads only available to NZ users. This is also why American sites need to block EU users or comply with the GDPR. You can't just pick a server location with the laxest laws.

Interesting, it looks like Incus is the fork (announced in October)? I've really wanted to try LXD but it was infected with Snap and the other Canonical baggage.

What i need is straightforward way to run/manage VMs with the ability to have a couple of hosts in a HA setup to failover VMs on an NFS share. libvirt does this just about, but it's pretty painful to use, and the stack needed for Proxmox/oVirt feels too complex.

As far as I could tell LXD did what i want.
In Seattle, local elections are a contest between Socialists and Democrats. The former may not have much presence on the state or federal levels, but to say they don't exist in city politics is incorrect.

Also, the reason they can't succeed much beyond a few lefty cities is because they can't stop saying insanely stupid shit, like the suggestion that Boeing workers should seize Boeing factories and use them to make city buses instead of airplanes. Most of America doesn't go in for this kind of nonsense. This is a real example btw: https://www.kiro7.com/news/seattle-city-councilmember-elect-...

While rockets are the main weapon (they also like to do stabbings) used in the palestinian-israeli conflict over the last years, the main reason of israeli palestinian hate is their past love of exploding inside busses and restaurants during the first[1] and second intifada[2]

As if you could ever stop research in what is essentially just maths. The concept of neural networks has been around since before many of those people were born. The statistical and mathematical underpinnings of AI predate anyone alive today.

It might seem to an outsider that ChatGPT and the other household name AI came out of nowhere, but they didn’t. The research has been ongoing for decades and will continue with or without the big name AI companies.
> They can't. Hamas launched thousands of rockets on October 7th, and Israel has no way of stopping something like that again

The Iron Dome stopped pretty much all the rockets

What didn’t stop Hamas on Oct 7th was Israel not paying attention to their own intelligence and the tips of neighboring countries, as well as an insanely slow response time

If they wanted to, they could definitely only defend themselves

They could also stop the illegal settlers and occupation in the West Bank (instead of using the IDF to support them)

And they could make an actual effort in working towards peace

But instead Israel has pretty much created this situation and has a president openly calling for the extermination of Palestinians (re: Amalek)
Cash flow is obviously important to you, but note that business profitability involves having positive cash flow and making a profit on it. It would be perfectly reasonable to discover in a few years that Amazon is structurally unable to make a profit without giving competitors an easy path to start cannibalising their business.

It is an uncertain scenario at the moment because it does look like Amazon will be one of the rare attempts that can find profits. But they haven't managed to outdo Walmart yet so there are obvious risks.

I live in SLC. There are basically 3 categories of internet here:

1. Big Telecom: This includes Comcast, CenturyLink, etc. You are basically guaranteed to overpay, but service is usually pretty reliable. Last year I was paying >$100 for 1gbit down & 40mbit up on Comcast's coax; while every one of my neighbors had UTOPIA FTTH (the house I was renting was not connected to the network).

2. UTOPIA or Google Fiber: Yes, Google Fiber is another big telecom, but it's pricing ($70 for 1gbit symmetric FTTH) and reliability are practically identical to UTOPIA (the municipal network).

3. Residential lock-in: This is what I'm stuck with right now. I pay $100/mo. for ~120mbit with noticeably bad peering. The price is literally written into my apartment's lease, with no mention of speed or reliability.

I miss having actually good internet, but what I have is still much better than what I have lived with before.
It's an ugly trade-off military commanders have to consider. How many civilians aligned with the enemy you are willing to kill as collateral damage to avoid losing one of your own soldiers?

There are always many ways of reaching your military objectives. For example, you could launch an air strike or an infantry assault. Some are more effective than others. Some cause more collateral damage. And with some, you risk higher casualties.
Please let me understand what you believe, what you mean by “helped overthrow” in case of ukraine.

LXD is separate from libvirt, I don't think one affects the other. The only thing common between LXD and libvirt is that both use qemu to run virtual machines.
The silicon whip, which is the main pain-inducing device (the heat is laughable, and the electric shocks are painful but don't do permanent damage) was changed against a new one and disinfected before being re-used by the next player.

At least that's how it was managed at the two events where I had some fun with that thing, the Computerspielemuseum Berlin and a Chaos Communication Congress (back in the days when it was still at BCC).

It's a ground invasion in which they tell civilians to evacuate beforehand. How much slower and more precise do you want them to get, given that Hamas is maybe 10% of the population (so their supporter base is clearly much larger) and there's no clear distinction between fighters and the rest deliberately? It's hard to imagine specifics.

Israel can't simply let them launch rockets forever. Iron Dome isn't 100% effective and more importantly there's a massive, orders of magnitude cost differential between attack and defense. Eventually Israel would run out of intercepter rockets (or the ability to afford them), and then Hamas can simply bomb Israel at will.
I could just as easily turn that around and say Hamas (which is the legitimately elected government of Gaza) is responding to continuous attacks from Israel. Gaza is the world’s largest concentration camp, blockaded from land, sea and air. In 2018 and 2019 they held continual peaceful protests, which Israel responded to by killing 223 Palestinians and maiming many more.

Hell, one of the co-founders of Hamas watched his uncle get murdered in front of him by the IDF in the Khan Younis massacre; he described it a very formative experience, as you might imagine.

You may be on the right track here. It's just one anonymous HN comment [1], but it fits other pieces (e.g. BSP code dump quality).

I'm very happy with Hyper-V for small environments. I've got a few clusters under my watch and it's okay. It's certainly not as rock-solid as ESXi, but it would do the job in a lot of the small vSphere environments. Having live migration and replication "in the box" w/o additional licensing expense is nice.

I really like the PowerShell applets for Hyper-V. I find them more well thought-out than PowerCLI. I do nearly all of my Hyper-V admin work at the command line.

Are you telling me that here in Tennessee, I can drive my unregistered truck on public roads, as long as the destination is a church?

You definitely do need a license to hunt in this state, even on your own private land. There are even defined seasons (except for invasives).

$400/yr/tax is probably a singlewide, but I do agree that property taxes here are low (and thus our education pays 43rd in the country to teachers).

I'm genuinely curious about the truck-to-church thingy, though — as I do truly have an unregistered pickup truck (I have insurance, just no title).
This sounds very familiar to the Republic of Texas movement in the mid-90s. The notion that Texas was not legally ratified into the Union was making its way through the courts by winning its cases. Some activists thought it was moving too slowly and skipped a few steps. A new fiat money was involved, other countries started recognizing the Republic of Texas government, liens were being placed on property, oh, and then the kidnappings started happening.

The gung-ho crowd will always look like crazy types to the outsiders
Whether Israel is proportionately attacking Gaza remains to be seen. Just because Hamas doesn't care about Gazans doesn't mean that Israel is giving them a reasonable opportunity to thrive, though. That's without mentioning the settler colonialism debacle, which is not as one-sided as some people claim but still an injustice to Palestinians.
Your comment is ambiguous. The USA has been a major donor to aid for Gaza.

But I suspect you're referring to aid to Israel.

Anyone is welcome to use my code in a proprietary piece of code, indeed the Apache2 license allows it.

What it doesn't allow is for my code to be re-licensed to AGPLv3 nor can they grant themselves a license to do whatever they want (their CLA).

So indeed they could keep importing Incus bugfixes and new features into LXD, but that code would need to have an exception carved out in their current contribution requirements as the code would not come from an author that has signed the Canonical CLA nor would it be under the AGPLv3 license.

They would also need adequate tracking of this so they don't accidentally assume that the code belongs to them and that they can re-license it as they wish for other projects. Also anyone who stumbles onto that code in the LXD codebase should be properly informed that they can include that code in a non-AGPLv3 project as that bit of code is Apache2, not AGPLv3.

Without knowing the target market, I'm thinking the taxonomy of "two-way sync" is understood by a very narrow community. ISVs have been using this approach for years. So maybe that's the audience?

If so, then Heroku connect probably does need an alternative.

There are unicorn scale companies in this space (such as https://www.owndata.com/). And Salesforce is getting back into the backup game.

I think you might be right that encouraging curious discussion of these topics is important to the mission of HN.

However, if the moderation approach is going to change, I think it would be better to do so explicitly through changes to the site guidelines rather than in an ad-hoc way. I don't think that this article is covering an 'interesting _new_ phenomenon' (emph. mine) as discussed in the guidelines, and indeed most of the comments are talking about moderation policy or the conflict in general as opposed to the details presented in the article. Perhaps it would be better to have a thread explicitly focused on members of the community engaging with each other as individuals, such as a hypothetical 'Ask HN: How has conflict personally affected you?' or 'Ask HN: How/why have your views on this conflict changed over time?'

The stories that the article has to tell are important, but they aren't the thing that people are discussing here. And moderating submissions instead of explicitly discussion-focused posts invites some of the concerns about sourcing and bias that have been raised in other comments.
TIL. But even if you count nationality-based mistreatment as apartheid, Israel contains many Palestinians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_citizens_of_Isra...

To be fair, Israel was doing some bad stuff to them within its borders in the 1960s but "In 1966, martial law was lifted completely, and the government set about dismantling most of the discriminatory laws, while Arab citizens were granted the same rights as Jewish citizens under law".

It seems like the main issue today is treating people differently based on whether they currently live on the other side of a national border. Ex: apparently marriage to an Israeli is no longer a path to Israeli citizenship for Palestinians residing outside Israel- https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-knesset-pa...

But many, if not most, countries have policies that similarly punish people outside their borders so I don't see how that is particularly damning for Israel.

The problem is we have stigmatized the concept of cults into more or less any belief system we disagree with. Everyone has a belief system and in my mind is a part of a kind of cult. The more anyone denies this about themself, the more cultlike (in the pejorative sense) their behavior tends to be.

There is some of that, and a mainstream "which side are you on" attitude. I previously wrote that the US could sit this one out. Provide humanitarian aid only, provide no military aid, and try to pressure both sides into not killing each other in large numbers. Which is what most of the rest of the world is doing.[1]
