Israel annihilating Hamas looks like a winning strategy to decisively eliminate foreign interference from the likes of Iran.

> This is just a very, very bad take (...)

I don't agree. As Iran's control over the likes of Hamas proves, terrorist nations are actively killing the same innocent civilians they are using as human shields with the expectation that the humanitarian crisis inflicted upon their pawns hinders or even prevents any retaliation. The only effective strategy to prevent civilians from being thrown in arms way is to eliminate any perverse incentive leveraged by the likes of Iran to harm innocent civilians as a proxy war strategy.

As Immortal Technique said in a recent interview, the US can't really protect Israel, or anyone in the region. It can only attack and deliver weapons, but it has no (credible) diplomatic voice with which to pursue anything but more war. The US cannot tell anyone "hey guys, you need to stop" and even get a hearing. That's not just because "they" all hate the US 24/7, unchanged, regardless of what is done except killing everybody, that's in part a result of how the US tends to interact with the region and the conflict(s).

Answers to my analytics inquiry – Manu
This is when I wish @dang would unban HN user dirtyid. His takes on Chinese politico-economics are as insider as it gets this side of the globe (he's Canadian, with some family background in supplying the CCP military equipment) without offending my admittedly Republican sympathies. Hell, I also always presumed from his username that's he's a self-deprecating Jew.

Ask HN: Filtering by Author on Algolia with Hyphens?
If a name contains a hyphen, e.g. "1970-01-01" [0] it does not find any results, while filtering by a username that does not contain hyphens e.g. "dang" [1] it returns results.

Does anyone know if there is a way to filter by names that contain a hyphen? (I guess by omitting the "by:" it kinda works [2] for more obscure names like "1970-01-01" which are not mentioned often in posts/comments)

> Hamas, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority have repeatedly rejected any two-state solution proposals.

There were an only couple of negotiations. We don't even know the details, but in general the rough outline was that the Palestinian state wouldn't be sovereign - it would be more like a protectorate, with no self-defense capabilities etc.

But there simply is no alternative. Israel, international community needs to persistently push for a real two-state solution. Not like once in a decade (the last attempt was 2008) some weak offer with basically no real political support (part of the reason they were dismissed by Palestinians, there was no credibility to them).

I mean, what are the other options? Forever apartheid and occupation? War crimes like ethnic cleansing?

The car manufacturers have been going after the top end of the market for obvious reasons - it's the first thing to do when your battery supply and manufacturing capacity and electronic components are or have been limited.

There's got to be a point where that stops working. Perhaps it has arrived more suddenly than expected because of inflation due to ...... natural gas and petrol prices.

As for range, it's obvious that people who drive a lot will get a Return on Investment from an EV sooner than the rest of us and thus they can justify the purchase to themselves. So their demand for range is what is being satisfied. My need is for a car with modest range that I can easily afford - no need for fancy infotainment or acceleration or status. I'm not a good target for car companies till they have satisfied higher profit segments of the market.

beware, lots of hybrids are basically scams.

Range extenders probably aren't what you expect - You still have to charge.

For example the bmw i3 range extender won't let you drive on gas. It will put charge in the battery while you are driving or stopped, but it won't generate nearly enough power to keep up with freeway driving.

Other hybrids are basically ICE cars that can capture a little power and feed it back.

and hybrids have twice the complexity - all of ICE + all of EV.

If the key can flexibly consume whatever content is in the current context -- images, audio, text, selectable files -- and potentially have access to RAG, it seems to me that the number of potential use cases is very high.

Of course, everything hinges on "flexible" -- if it's mono-modal and doesn't access context in an intuitive way, it'll be tough for it to find a place in people's workflows.
Because the roads are dangerous to cross on foot, and the footpaths stop suddenly for no apparent reason. And there's no AC outside, which matters more in some parts of the USA than others (Davis (CA) and Salt Lake City are above my comfort threshold, from memory).

For example, one time I stayed at the The Cupertino Hotel in CA and tried walking to One Infinite Loop, a junction which every sufficiently old iOS user will be familiar with because it's what Apple used to use as the icon for their Maps app before they relocated their HQ to the flying saucer campus. The junction looks like this, and was an awful experience as a pedestrian:

There is no reason to abandon PDF. As was already stated the main purpose of a PDF is viewing something as the author has intended, it should not be dynamic like a website. And editing is possible but not the intended use-case (and therefore harder to get right).

As for merging PDFs you first need to know what the user wants. Just merging the pages? Or should AcroForm forms be merged? Should the outline be merged, too? Depending on the answers you can then proceed with the merge. Simply page merging can be done with any tool, merging AcroForm forms or outlines may require more advanced tools.

PDF is actively worked on at multiple fronts, for example, support for HDR, newer image formats, maybe variable width font embedding, better re-flowing capabilities when this is needed (e.g. for small-screen devices)...

And with the ISO PDF 2.0 specification now freely available, anyone can join in :)

Are we having the same discussion or are you simply injecting your own discussion with yourself into a this thread?

Next, your use of the word "clone" is sloppy - those are clearly not clones in any use of the word I have seen. They are very similar, but clone would imply, well, a clone. Indistinguishable.

As to whether a tool can make a copy of something when the user controls the tool, courts have ruled consistently and repeatedly that when a tool has significant non-infringing uses, such as copiers, tape recorders, cameras, VCRs, CD burners, etc., that when a user infringes copyright using the tool the company is not liable. Its how we all can have cameras and recorders and DVRs and the Internet and a whole host of modern tech - it can all be used for infringement, but it has significant uses outside that. A user can infringe.

Good luck calling this infringement. When the twitter user is asking the tool to infringe that will almost certainly not be MidJourney's liability.

I doubt MS indemnified users of it's tools from copyright claims that their lawyers didn't look long and hard at this. Just because most of the internet is ignorant of the nuance of copyright doesn't mean big law groups (and me too) are also ignorant.

Now, please if you feel the need to respond, stay on the original topic. No sense in you hijacking this thread further.

Your own car also could break down.
1. Range. But this speaks to the failure of the industry to provide charging infrastructure. This was one big thing that Tesla got right.

2. Price. An EV is inherently simpler to build and should cost less. Indeed, early EV offerings were almost affordable, if not for the high cost of the batteries. Now that batteries are less expensive, the automakers are pushing large, expensive cars (because they think they can sell them?). The Nissan Leaf is going away. The Chevy bolt stumbled badly out of the gate on technical issues.

3. Somebody figured that if extravagant pickup trucks are the most popular cars in American, then what America wanted was an electric pickup. The "I want a pickup" idea does not tickle the same brain cells as the "I want an EV" idea.

Make affordable, entry-level EVs and sufficient infrastructure to make them usable by people with HOA restrictions or apartments, and they will sell like hotcakes.

The tech community has a massive problem with Dunning-Kruger, and has for basically ever. Hell two decades ago when I was a young guy working in the field so did I.

I'm not sure if its because the field is basically a young man's game and that's inherent with relative youth, or if there's something deeper going on, but its hard to ignore once you notice it.

That said, the idea that you have a better handle of what's going on in the legal system and the needs/uses legal professionals have then actual people in the legal profession and academics in the legal field is a pretty big leap even with those priors.

> now I'm similarly at risk of forgetting how it worked in the first place

I once met a person at a client org who was generally opposed to automation due to risks of forgetting how things work and not always knowing what the internals behind those abstractions are. It was an interesting take.

At the same time, something like Ansible and other methods of automation can be pretty useful and actually aid in documenting things.

It's especially good if you can spare 10% of your time to put some notes down in Markdown files in a Git repo, or source/deploy most of your automation scripts from there as well.

Maybe but they've been around in Europe for a long time and (as far as I know) have never been banned anywhere over here.

This article really confuses the problems that legacy car manufacturers have with switching to EVs, with EVs in general. EVs work, just look at countries farther ahead in the transition, or ask the 1.8 million people who bought a Tesla last year. The transition is in full swing.

Tesla's excellent supercharger network is already more than sufficient for roadtripping in the USA and Europe, and now is open to non-Tesla EVs. This piece of writing is just a poorly researched bit of trash.

How many trips are done alone? And yet people don't buy single-seater cars. People also don't draw boat or horse trailers most of the time, yet they buy cars as if that was all they ever did. The reality is that car purchases have been driven by very rare usage scenarios, often even by completely hypothetical usage scenarios ("what if I'd have to compete on Nürburgring?“) long before the topic of BEV came up.

The only way I see to change that pattern, outside of getting rid of cars completely, is a full switch from ownership (or "ownership" aka leasing) to fine-grained rental.
While you are right on the whole about the gee whiz features, those are also an increasing problem in ICE cars.

I had to look it up in case this was a Berenstein Bears/Shazam bad collective memory:

The external tank's orange color is the color of the spray-on foam insulation. The first two tanks, used for STS-1 and STS-2, were painted white to protect the tanks from ultraviolet light during the extended time that the shuttle spent on the launch pad prior to launch. Because this did not turn out to be a problem, Martin Marietta (now part of Lockheed Martin) reduced weight by leaving the rust-colored spray-on insulation unpainted beginning with STS-3, saving approximately 272 kg (600 lb).

> If the merchant shipping is seen as isolated, then it's clear it can't be tolerated.

It's a shame charging infrastructure seems to lag so much. In Norway (and more broadly in Europe), I don't even think about range any more, even on multi-day road trips.
