>I would not say any governments other than the US government "back" the Israeli government.

The situation in Germany is really bad. Openly illegal bad. It seems to be similar in large parts of the EU, despite countries like Ireland showing some backbone. Ruling politicians are using "obviously illegal means" (according to court ruling after court ruling) to silence and prosecute opposition to crimes against humanity. Going as far as police dragging away people with signs pointing to statements from UN officials.

Its "Neighboring countries should be worried" levels of bad here. I told what is happening here to an old friend who did his time in the Swiss military as an analyst and i am unable to contact him since.
The guidelines in question[1]. They seem to be from 2020, with copyrights as early as 2007.

Without expressing a larger opinion: many of the individual restrictions on commercial SMS activity seem reasonable, e.g. forbidding use of the T-Mobile network to advertise payday loans (Page 18).

Mexico has a gdp a bit larger than Florida, the 4th largest state by gdp. Adding Mexico would add less than 7% to our gdp.

The power of the us + Mexico would be very similar to just the US.

Brazil? It’s a massive economy. Do you get your news from memes?
“T-mobile will start monitoring SMS and fining users for violations” is not the title of the article and doesn’t seem to be what’s communicated. It looks like to me this is about commercial customers who use the network and is an increase in fines.
For context, this appears to be referring to fines imposed on senders of bulk SMS, not recipients, nor legitimate consumer-to-consumer messages.
Yeah, nothing is getting lost here. There is nothing proprietary in the computer systems of a hospital. It's 100% about keeping employees from being able to leave which results in depressed wages

There's absolutely some situations where an employee has valuable IP in their head--product designers, CEOs, software developers, etc--and they should be covered by an employment contract that also protects the employee

Employees with non-competitive information--basically all healthcare workers, skilled trades employees, typical IT staff (not software developers), etc should be free to come and go as they please, if the employee is free to fire them as they please. There's absolutely no rational reason to limit their employment mobility if we're going to operate under a free market capitalist system

A motto is not a mandate.
The ps2 memory card was 8MB by default, with some bigger third party ones. ps1 was ~120KB (reported in "blocks") Never thought buying a psp memory stick was worth it, since micro SD adapters existed and were orders of magnitude cheaper.

Sadly, when the vita came around, the only way to use an SD was to hack it and use an adapter in the game port. Since the vita card format was smaller than a micro SD.
Every cell network already monitors SMS traffic; it's how they enforce requirements like "responding with 'STOP' really makes the other party stop."

(SMS is not secure. It cannot be made secure. It should not be used in any context where the contents of your messages shouldn't be read or modified by arbitrary third parties.)
It is just a Russian propaganda. Russians mostly didn't give a shit what happens in Ukraine before 2014. There were internet armchair battles, but I never knew a single person who really thought that Russia had any claims on Ukrainian territory.

All this talk about history is no more than a central pillar of a Russian propaganda. It needs to justify what state is doing, it needs to find some moral grounds, and it uses history for that. And it is Russian history, which was rewritten for ~1k years each time when tsar changed. It never stopped. So to speak even in 1990s history was in a process of rewriting to show how bad USSR was. And now it is being rewritten to show that Russia didn't failed once, and all its fails are responsibility of "collective West".

Just don't listen when Russians talk about history, and you'll be fine.

> They'd rather burn it down and ruin it completely than lose control.

Yeah-yeah... Putin has no other choices left if he wants to die peacefully. There is a risk for him to end as Muammar Gaddafi did, if he loses this war. No one is happy elites included, give them one chance and they will play a spectacle of brutalizing Putin, freeing Russia from under a heel of a merciless dictator.
Honestly this has less to do with training and more about the catastrophically understaffed and overworked healthcare system.

There are not enough nurses on shift at any given time, and patients like this are difficult and require a lot of one-on-one care. Hospitals won't or can't bring on additional staff to care for these cases. It's already nearly impossible for a nurse to round on all their patients, so sometimes they use sedatives so that they can care for everyone else.

Which is clearly a very bad thing to do, but when your options are sit with one patient who only needs social/psychological support or caring for a dozen or three other people, it's a much more difficult call.

The problem is staffing and pay, not training. Nurses are trained to deal with difficult situations. Maybe not this specifically, but part of the job is recognizing an unusual situation and dealing with it rationally. But after being burnt out for so long, rationality gets lost.

And not to excuse these doctors, when family tells you not to use a particular drug, you DO NOT DO THAT. And this is why: you kill people.
Thank you, that's so exciting! Please let me know if you try it out, I'd really love to get your feedback!
a higher birth rate (aka make having children more attractive) is the only long term solution.

What ARE sales of digital magazines like these days? On the rare occasions that I've had a passing thought to subscribe to one, I found that it's easy to subscribe but hard to unsubscribe, and so I never pulled the trigger.

Then my public library started offering PressReader access for free (well, local property taxes notwithstanding). So, much like Spotify, I basically have a subscription to every magazine on Earth now.

Interestingly, while I used to read stacks and stacks of print magazines back in the day, I very rarely think to even pull up PressReader. When I do, I just skim here and there for a few minutes before closing the app and doing something else.

Digital magazines just don't FEEL like magazines, in the way that actual print magazines used to. They feel like blogs, from the pre-social media era when the Internet was still mostly long-form writing. I don't know if this really says something about the decline of magazines, or my own personal cognitive or attention-span decline after ~15 years of social media consumption.
> rather than actually addressing the source of his anxiety.

> If the staff had been given proper training into dealing with neuro-atypical patients, there would have been no need for sedation.

You're making some serious assumptions here. 1. The source of anxiety could be dealt with at the time. 2. The training would be applicable at the time. 3. A different approach would require no sedation. 4. There was time for a calming approach given what had to be done at the time.

Sure, we should improve things, but also when you end up in the ICU, the priorities are a bit different than during a routine doctor visit - we don't know whether that situation could be dealt with without any kind of restraints/sedatives.
Ahh sorry, I missed that. My bad. Have run into too many people that legitimately believe this :/

> (that’s not saying US meddling didn’t stunt growth)

That's a pretty quaint way to put it, especially after mentionning Cuba. Just to go on with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan which have specially strong ties to the US.

In general attributing individual traits ("attitude toward time management", "scapegoat", "blaming") to whole countries to explain long term economic evolutions and gepolitics is iffy at best.
Our experience with this at Buildless is that remote caching loses profitability past 100mb or so.

As a result, we impose reasonable caps which force a recompilation for the largest outputs, and it ends up being faster.

Just our experience and of course mileage varies by project. Redis can do 512mb values but the cap needed for efficiency’s sake is much smaller than that.
I love that this one-off gag from a pre-internet sitcom has persisted so long in popular culture, fueled by the spite that so many of us have for the Christmas season and its cloying, empty vulgarity.
They don't have to be part time nurses. Can't they treat other patients in their free time?
I've used f3 (fight flash fraud) on every SD card I've bought for myself or someone else. Never had a failure, but I've pretty much only bought cards direct from mixza on aliexpress.

I'd certainly recommend testing any flash device you get, especially cheap ones. It might take eight hours to write and verify, but it's well worth it. (if you can abide disputes/returns)

Brazil has a large and heavily industrialized economy. It is however radically unequal (even by US terms) which may be why you think the country is poor as a whole. With a GDP of $2 trillion USD the Brazilian economy is comparable to Spain or Korea in size.
If they aren't qualified, then you have to train them. If they don't have your values, you have to integrate them. That is complicated, takes a lot of effort and costs a lot of money. Everyone who thinks anything about the problem is cheap or easy is delusional.

Do you recall Barnaby Jack - he was going to announce at defcon about hacking certain medical equipment.... a couple of weeks prior to his tech talk he didnt killhimself OD'd in an apartment in SF.
20 million vs a couple of thousand is not worth mentioning. At that point you should start mentioning the hundreds of sub Saharan Africans that fought with the Soviets.
I mean there's nothing wrong with low diversity of outputs, it just has different context and its uses are different. The problem is just having all of this properly communicated so that we can evaluate properly.
Medical school is not supposed to prepare anyone for specialized care. It's only to help students gain enough knowledge and experience for residency.

Here's the breakdown (this is meant as an exaggeration and a joke, to illustrate the point):

- First 2 years of med school: mostly academic teaching so you don't kill anyone when you show up in an actual hospital.

- Third year of med school: (jokingly) you can look and touch, but even the nurses are keeping an eye on you. You just contaminated your hands by touching your beard, get out of the room!

- 4th year of med school: did you talk with the new patient? What do you think? Student: "He was a little odd, otherwise he's here for a checkup." Doctor: "He's autistic..." Student: "Oh...I had a feeling he was."

Residency: how to actually do something for patients in general.

Fellowship: how to actually do something for complex medical conditions.

Residency is what's supposed to prepare people to operate in their respective fields. And then comes fellowship for specialized care.

For anyone who wants to complain about what doctors should or should not learn during medical school: first go learn what the curriculum does teach, then ask yourself if you're even mildly qualified to make those judgements based on your understanding of healthcare, and then maybe you could comment on what would have to be left out of education to accommodate for X, because the curriculum is already super bloated and a firehose of information.
Having (Jewish) Israeli, pre-Israeli, and pre-pre-Israli heritage, I don't personally find "From the River to the Sea" offensive but I do find it non-constructive and insensitive. Globalize the intifada otoh is awful.

I follow this topic daily, on twitter, in telegram (both Israeli and Arab groups), and among the thousands of Jews I know across the world on FB (from anti-Zionist Jews to Orthodox). This is the first time I've ever seen the phrase "Greater Israel" mentioned. I'll go research it now but it strikes me as a manufactured obscurity, while "From the River to the Sea" is prevasive.
lmao merry Christmas
Let me see how this works:

For Palestinians to say the want to be “free from river to sea” means the “genocide of Israelis”. But, amazingly but unsurprisingly, for Israelis to say they want to be “free of Palestinians” (who happen to currently be in part in the area “from river to sea”) it does not mean “genocide of Palestinians”. This must be Schroedinger’s genocide. Now you see it now you don’t. Amazing.

A conversation somewhere in the area between river and the sea. That oh so special place on earth that is worth having a world war over. “How long o lord?” Seriously lord.

Here it goes:

- Palestinians say they want to be free from river to the sea!

- Hah, really? The nerve. Why can’t they just go to some Arab country or maybe America?

- They say they are not Arab, they are Palestinian.

- Hah. Nationalism is a sickness.

- Agreed.

- I can’t believe they want to kill us all.

- How you figure?

- Well, they ain’t gonna be “free” while we’re here. That can’t possibly work.

- Hmm.

- And they know that we know that they know.

- Aha.

- Yeah, so obviously, they want to kill us all. A genocide.

- Ingrates.

- Animals!
As you've said, the human body is complex. We don't always know what's wrong - of course we do our best with the tests we have, but often we're ruling things out and are left without a clear answer. When I try to tell patients that "I don't know", they're frustrated with me. And frequently, it's the patients that are mad that I don't have a pill or procedure that can fix it immediately.

You say that doctors like diseases that we can treat...well, of course we do. I want to help people! Why would I enjoy having to tell someone they're feeling badly but I can't figure out why with my current available tests and data? It doesn't mean that the symptoms aren't real, I just don't know what's causing them.

People think modern medicine means we have all the answers, but that's not the case by a long shot and the vast majority of human experience and condition is still unknown, and I do wish people understood that more.

(And, side note, insurances put up a fight with a ton of doctor-prescribed orders as well, it's a huge problem in the system. I'm sure all healthcare workers would love universal dietitian coverage.)

It’s far more likely that almost nobody ever cared about these things at all, and that nearly the entire thing was wash trading and market manipulation.

I'm grateful that I am alive, that I can live in a safe environment where my life, well-being is not at risk. (At this time, I'm cognizant of the enormous suffering many people around the world have to endure, mostly human-created and unnecessary.)

I'm grateful for my wife and our wonderful child, and our family.
(I am sorry for anyone out there who is lonely and/or has lost anyone recently.)

I'm grateful to be healthy enough to run an ordinary life. (I am sorry for those who suffer from disease or worry about their health.)

I'm incredibly grateful for being permitted to exercise my hobby as my profession, so I don't have to "work". (I wish everyone success in finding work, and finding meaning in what they do, who are currently unemployed or dread their jobs.)

I'm grateful for my education, which was free of charge and at the same time benefitted from top institutions and top teachers, despite not coming from a privileged background (well, relative to Western European standards). (I feel sorry for people who have to go into debt to get an education, or for whom an education is out of reach.)

I'm grateful for my personal library and HN to be able to read intellectually stimulating things. (I feel for all the people that have not had the chance to discover the pleasure of reading, or who have not yet discovered Hacker News.)

Just a thought: SOMEONE is grateful to SOMEONE for SOMETHING, it's a ternary predicate. The first slot is filled by you, the last slot is being polled here by this "Ask HN" request; since it's Christmas, think about that middle slot (to WHOM should you be grateful?).

Yeah, although it seemed like the original goal was to make it a sort of “Netflix for games” subscription service where you’d get the games for free so long as you kept paying your $10/month or whatever. Apple has been trying to do a similar thing with their Apple Arcade. Unfortunately the included games were mostly “B” titles, with the exception of PUBG, so you still needed to pay to purchase the good stuff.

I disagree. It’s a cultural thing. Taiwan or Singapore vs The Philippines. They have different attitudes (they can be changed if there is a pop wide effort).

It takes leadership and the cooperation of the people.

So, the malware managed to also steal OTP token too. But to make any kind of transfer, doesn’t the bank need a new OTP token entirely?

This description suggests that the malware ejects itself after collecting OTP & Credentials, but by the time the miscreants tries to initiate a transfer, I expect the OTP to have expired.

Only issue left is, people not using OTP and/or disabled OTP for online transactions, but that should be not possible in 2023!

> Rpi4s are nice, in a sense, because you can only rarely honestly claim that the speed of the system is holding you back.

As someone who uses them for a variety of purposes, I gotta note that they have pretty huge limitations. Like, the moment graphics enter the picture (no pun intended) you’re moving an order of magnitude slower than most desktops or laptops. Not to mention that support for hardware video encode/decode (which, especially decode, we generally take for granted) aren’t always available depending on the library or tool you’re working with.

Like yes, you can totally run a serviceable web server on a Pi and serve a blog or a small web app, but let’s not get carried away here.

I can answer this one:

Companies optimize for getting new users. Highlighting the register button reduces some friction that may have otherwise prevented some users from signing up.

On the other hand, a user that wants to sign in is much less likely to "give up" if they don't immediately see the button. Important and limited header space therefore is dedicated to getting new users.
