Justice? I don't think anyone here cares about justice more than the Houthis, and there version of it is the total destruction of the US and Israel. They believe, literally, it is their divine mission to destroy those two states. How are the US and Israel supposed to respond to a group whose stated goal is their complete and utter destruction? Would it be just to give them any leeway, to give them any sort of victory they can boast about to gain more followers, more strength, in order to execute terrorist attacks against the US and its allies? Would it be just to endanger their own citizens just for a short peace that ends the moment the Houthis decide they have the power to advance further?

I worked at a unionized job as a teenager at an industrial plant and I asked how to get hired for real instead of temping and he explained how unions worked there and other plants in town. He said it's extremely neoptistic, they'd usually hire a kid of one of the workers or a friend and the odds of an outsider getting in was thin. They dealt out jobs like a mafia family.

It's a preprint and a weirdly basically formatted one at that I'm going to wait on some peer review before I start playing with vitamin D in high doses, given it's toxic at high doses in humans. The high dose here is 10k IU/kg which is... a lot in a human, you're looking at basically instantly toxic if you follow that in a person.
Precisely the way they like it. Control means governing, which means you're blamed when things go wrong. Hamas has zero interest in actually having to run a functional government with elections and water quality monitoring and street maintenance. See also: Republican promises to repeal Obamacare.

> They launched an attack that was shockingly brutal...

The response to that attack has killed ~15x as many so far, with plenty of civilians in that mix. Even the US is starting to message "hold up, that's a bit much" now.
Unions tends to reward credentials and years of experience over performance or capability.

For most people it lowers downside risk and lowers upside opportunity.
How do you define "fake"? Review bombing is generally real people with real opinions. It takes advantage of the fact that a) it's mostly impossible to verify someone has read a book, and b) most people don't read, and c) most people who read don't leave a review, so anyone motivated to review gets an outsized voice.

No offense but this is one of those "programmer thinks they can find an edge case in a complex social scenario" cases.

First of all your suggestion is directly against the Treaty of Constantinople, at least so long as Egypt and Israel are not at war with each other. Secondly, most cargo ships will be going to Haifa and there is nothing blocking ships from taking a quick detour via (say) Malta so that they technically don't have an Israeli port as their destination when they pass through the Suez canal. Thirdly, the Houthis have been attacking many ships and not just Israeli ships. There is not reason to believe that they would stop doing that.

That’s what happens when you hire a full time person to do what should amount to 8 hours a week. They go looking for ways to show value, and often that just causes everyone else to have more work too.

Usually it’s places where the projects are plenty small enough for the normal manager to handle it but they’re lazy and want the TPM/PM to be their secretary.
The rate of progress is astounding.

If growth is high, you can look nowhere near something, and then without too much time, it actually is right around the corner.

We are probably AT LEAST 50 years away from a near 100% non-nuclear "renewable" world.

That's enough time for the entire lifecycle of nuclear reactors and fusion reactors.

Much of the world doesn't have their own fossil fuels they can rely on, and is definitely interested in alternatives in less than 50 years - even if it means - in ideal conditions - they'd be overpaying for nuclear (or fusion if it becomes viable within 15 years).

It's almost as if all the people working on these projects and funding them aren't complete morons, and the world quite so reductive, like half of hacker news seems to smugly dismiss EVERY time any fusion article is posted.

> they lack the means or incentive to specifically target Israel-related ships

They lack internal coherence. We’re talking about a group of warlords, after all. Nobody is in charge, which makes the notion of striking a deal ludicrous.
You must have missed past 70 years of history lessons. Everybody who cares knows Israel and Mossad don't fuck around, they will kill school full of small children in the middle of western Europe if it would be worth for their goals (that's an extreme example but murdering scientists or civilians was done repeatedly... not judging TBH, they are since beginning in brutal situation with all neighbors and they are capable when it comes to realizing threats... but they are not nice people if they see you as any form of potential threat).

Also, there is no way to get rid of Hamas unless overall conditions that made it what it is today remain. Its desperately naive position that has been proven impossible over and over. Ie terrorists/insurgents/freedom fighters, depending on from where you look on Iraq post 2003 invasion.

Maybe with different name, different folks, but cca same goal and methods. Or do you feel that Taliban or Al-Qaeda disappeared just because mightiest military in the world decided to kick their ass for a decade+?

I don't feel that an organization like that is the best way to run a company. It may be a superior way to the reality of most companies today, but that reality makes achieving an environment like that extraordinarily difficult.

Here's the reality I've seen: PMs and EMs share a very similar domain of responsibility. The "20% work" of both jobs is different; but 80% of it isn't; its communication and defense from the rest of the business, and organizing the work the engineers need to actually do. Who actually does it, in your org, the PM or EM, depends on who has more political capital between the two, which is something of a function of their skill level, experience, and ability to market themselves. Great EMs look like PMs. Bad PMs do all the bad things bad EMs do, like micromanage.

Phrase that paragraph another way: in most orgs, in my experience, the PM role fills a need which arises when the team makes a sub-optimal EM hire, and vice-versa.

That's my reality; but the obvious problem with that reality is, if you look at the scientific, hypothetical definition of what a PM should do, its not that. There's tons of more product-focused "we want to build the best thing" kind of work that feels, to me, rare for even Fantastic PMs to actually get to do because they're compensating for an EM that isn't pulling their weight. Vice-versa, if you have a Bad PM it might not even occur to them that this "we want to build the best thing" class of work is a fundamental part of the role; ZIRP document factories that could basically be replaced with an LLM trained on all the meetings they've attended.

The additional lingering problem is that, part of that 80% work, "defense against the rest of the business", depends significantly on the rest of the business stepping back and creating an environment where this "unit" (the EM, PM, and engineers) can be autonomous; and I've also nearly-never worked anywhere where this was the case, even leadership that says "its y'alls call, you've got authority in this domain" inevitably catch wind of some decision they dislike, for reasons rarely more substantiated then "it feels wrong", and even a small number of torpedoes like that can seriously, seriously harm an entire team's feeling that they're allowed to go on of the offensive, rather than playing defense 24/7.

Point being: The single best characteristic of upper leadership, its not close, there's zero argument of this in my mind, its not technical ability, business experience, good talking skills, domain experience, whatever: Its Hiring. Being able to identify strong talent, keeping a pulse on the performance of that talent, ground-truth, all the time, and being willing to let people go if mistakes are made. But, what I've just described is extremely difficult to execute effectively, because every actor in this game is self-interested and will actively misrepresent the performance of themselves and their unit; politics is the hardest game in the book.
Probably I'm not smart or it's too subtle. I am not able to tell if this is satire, it seems to be just a description of how many enterprises and large companies operate. So it's a commentary on modern working practices?
This could help balance Amazon’s leadership principles.
Work is a pie-eating contest where the prize is more pie. Many learn this lesson too late in their careers. On at least three occasions (as recently as two weeks ago) I turned down promotions because the marginal stress was greater than the marginal salary increase. More money isn't always worth more.
Some people are suggesting verification that the reviewer actually bought the book like what is done on amazon.com itself. It is different as Goodreads is not amazon.com, the goal at least what people are using it for) is social network that is built around people organizing their reading lists, sharing it with others and follow what their friends are reading. In addition to reviews to know more about books and people's reactions.

Some of the problems with this proposal

1- Books borrowed from friends or libraries
2- Book bought from different platforms or stores
3- Books downloaded from from the internet legally (or illegally)

Most of my readings are not books that amazon can verify I actually owned the books and I usually write reviews if I want to share it with my friends on Goodreads. That would be hard to implement and if so, I think personally I will stop using Goodreads, probably with most of the people I know.
Also their recent move to 3-book + DM screen sets is really annoying. They did it first with Spelljammer's rerelease into 5e and I think the oceanic thirst for Spelljammer content might have sent them the wrong signal about the popularity of the actual content which was pretty thin for the amount you paid for it with notable missing rules like long range travel... for the space setting.
Accept that your job can disappear at anytime and for any reason, no matter how loyal you are.

Your sense of security should come from your confidence in getting work if needed.
So Obama is "proof of democracy" (and I assume "not angry") and Trump wasn't elected but "usurped" power (from the every-man Neocons who haven't since stopped causing chaos and trying to jail him?) because he was "rich and angry". Tell me if I missed anything in this anti-democratic storybook narrative.

> Are you saying that after October 7th a un resolution would have gotten hostages released and Hamas wouldn’t have attacked again?

No, but it would have looked good. That matters in international relations. The Arab world sees America as Israel’s surrogate; that makes it tough for Washington to e.g. strike a deal with Riyadh or Tehran to solve this Bab al-Mandan crisis.
Maybe the Bureau of Consumer Protection, and for fraudulent and deceptive practices? There’s plenty of precedent, and Amazon’s failure to do anything about fake products and fake reviews, if not active encouragement of fraudulent behavior, is a real economic problem where we the consumers pay the costs.

Yeah, I don't think there is any meaningful distinction there. I think Pierre is just framing things in terms of solving for teams that work with product + design + engineering to ship something to users that involves all of those parties, whereas GitHub has primarily catered to engineering.

Today in software companies there is basically a gap where each discipline kinda prefers to work in it's own software silo (eg. Asana / Figma / GitHub), but that doesn't really make a lot of sense from a fundamental standpoint where all of those aspects of a team want to work very closely together. You end up kinda syncing a lot of info/state across the silos, or via meetingss/slack etc, so I think Pierre is trying to bring all that into one tool with some opinionated workflow. Makes a lot of sense from my perspective, curious how it ends up working out.
I help people settle in Germany and it's a serious problem. The requirements to open an account disqualify many immigrants. It creates a lot of problems.
There's only one unionized TTRPG shop and it's Paizo, so it's uncharted waters for that industry. That said, several people now at Hasbro (F. Wesley Schneider, Amanda Hamon, Judy Bauer) jumped ship from Paizo before the unionization effort. I haven't seen any of those names in the layoff lists, but the company they left is very different now, and I don't know if that makes it more or less attractive to them.
The UN has never censured Palestine, Gaza, or Hamas. Not even once — not as a response to any of the terrorist attacks against Israel or any of the intifadas. In fact, in response to the first intifada (which resulted in hundreds of Israeli civilian deaths) they censured Israel yet again.

So I wouldn’t hold your breath for it to start happening now.
I'm not sure if there are special system names. Both access and system commands seem to respond the same way to nearly any string given as the system name.
I feel in my heart a deep sense of empathy after watching that. Like the quote from National Treasure, “People don’t talk like that anymore.” But the response from Nicolas Cage is, “But they feel it”.

As I understand it, Hitler used an economic narrative to build his team of supporters and eventually, desperate times cause people to vote with their wallets.

Does anyone else feel like the advent of modern online interactions is different from the early web? And maybe, just maybe… the economic incentives of the web shifting are what caused us to begin feeling angry and desperate?

Why not rebuild a better web, based on old principles of feeling? Web3 is really just about trust and decentralization of it, so why not rebuild the entire economic stack?

AI is great at many things, but great at feeling it is not.
I mean some straight-forward ones might be...

Accounts need to verify themselves somehow.

Accounts should be old enough before contributing reviews.

Accounts should only be able to review X amount of titles an hour/day/etc.

Moderators should have tools to identify influx of reviews and decide mitigation strategies.

Moderators should be able to put up a banner on a title that may be review bombed so the community can report suspicious reviews.

Etc.

These aren't honestly policing much. Just general common sense for these platforms. Also heavily needed on many other platforms that get spam in similar ways.
Handling Process Debt in IT
Perhaps a more interesting study is just to look at things more incrementally. For instance is a slightly more heavily armed population likely to enjoy slightly more rights, or fewer? Should I be optimistic about my rights if I move to a more heavily armed state or region?
You're right, but it's also important to remind everyone that this type of fusion research is only relevant for fundamental physics and for nuclear weapons research. This is not remotely a plausible path to fusion power generation. And, the NIF is part of the branch of the US government that handles nuclear weapons.
>The CEOs of Citi and Bank of America both told lawmakers at a Dec. 6 Senate hearing that they were preparing to join the network in the coming months.

Assuming this is actually correct, I agree with you that this would be pretty successful. Although it still seems like FedNow should've existed years ago. I can deposit a check using the supercomputer/high-res-camera I carry around in my pocket, using a global information network. But it still takes 3 days for ACH to do its things. Companies can do hard things with the right incentives.

>Big banks, which spent more than $1 billion on their own real-time payments system, lobbied to stop the Fed from developing FedNow, which would compete with their network.

Seems like the incentives were in the wrong direction.
I live in a much cheaper area than the SFBA (Denver), and anything decent starts at $1.2M, if you find a house here for $600K, it’s what’s considered “bulldoze ready”, empty lots with sewer, water, power already connected go for $550K+.

If you think something you can buy in SFBA under $1M is livable rather than “bulldoze ready”, you are the one that is out of touch.
It's like Oracle buying Sun. We just need to move on from Java to other languages at this point.

Combine hallucinations with police adopting this as the new polygraph and this could take a pretty bad turn.

It's a same thing everywhere. Hard work makes you a go-to person (at whatever). The go-to person gets you into high visibility projects. You ultimately can bargain your promotion using both of these qualities.
Holy shit it's happening...
Is anyone saying this? It seems like the vast majority of comments are in agreement the refugees should be fed. If anything most people here seem to basically agree with the Houthis.
It's quite subtle in many ways but just wrong enough to fall into an uncanny valley that's incredibly, as you say, distracting.
So what about humans? According to a 2021 meta-analysis[0], Vitamin D has "no effect" on muscle growth and may even have a negative effect, particularly at high doses.

COSCO hasn't released news they'll stop red sea shipping. TBH if Houthis only targetted western shipping it would be slight competitive advantage to PRC. The potential blowback is if US pressures Iran and threatens 1m barrels of of Iranian oil to PRC.
I know a lot of people here are missing the mark - the issue here is EMPATHY not -feelings-.

"We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. "

"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness."

Please take in the WHOLE message before dissecting a single sentence.
Show HN: Inventronic, an electronics parts inventory management webapp
Hi HN, I recently created this side project, an electronic component inventory management system.

Basically I am the creator of a 6502-based retro computer, the Planck 6502. I tried to sell it on Tindie and on my website but I was quite disorganized, meaning that I never knew if I had enough parts to make a whole kit or not. Sometimes I would take an order, only to notice that a critical component was missing and I had to cancel the order and issue a refund.

I resorted to a more manual process where I asked interested parties to contact me by email if they wanted to buy a kit. I would then prepare the package and only then send them a payment link. This was a hassle for everyone. I needed some organization. Partkeepr seems to be the standard electronic component management tool, so I gave it a try. Installation was easy, but using it not so much. It seemed way too complex for my basic needs: know how many of each project I can build with the parts I have in stock, and know when to restock each component.

So I thought I would make my own electronic component management system, https://inventronic.org

It allows me to keep parts in well defined locations. Each part container (small drawer usually) has a label generated by the app stuck onto it. I bought a label printer for that explicit purpose. The label has the part name, value and footprint on it, as well as a QR code that is a direct link to the part page to easily update inventory from the phone.

The projects page allows me to know exactly how many of each I can build, and which parts are running low. The only thing missing for my use case is a way to know if I can build two or more different projects with the parts I have (I often sell several kits at once to the same customer)

But anyway, it's been exactly a month since I started working on this. It's time to see what people think. If it's something that might interest you, head over to https://inventronic.org and login with demo@example.org, the password is 'password'

There are still a few bugs, but I am already using it to manage my electronic components.

If you like what you see, create your own account, or self-host it (I tried to make it as easy as possible to self-host, details on github: https://github.com/6px/inventronic)
