I wonder if people will ever stop rationalizing their red meat addiction, despite the decades of clear evidence of the impact it has on the GI tract in particular. Our ancestors didn't gulp down so much of it because they were so healthy, but because getting calories and dying of cancer after reproduction was a better deal than starving.

> they are having a difficult time finding companies willing to host

I’ve enjoyed using my company space to host group meetings (the first one I remember doing was the cypherpunks). But these days my current company is basically virtual with only a small lab space so it’s not so much that I’m unwilling but rather no longer able.
Not to mention how often things will effectively be set in stone once installed in the plant.

How many utterly mission critical e.g. CNC machines are run by a miraculously still functional Gateway desktop running Windows 98 Plus, camouflaged under a few decade's accumulation of rusty shavings from the nearby lathe?

Yeah, the Economist is still an elite rag owned by European old money. Still they admit the (buried) fact that inexpensive EVs are good for Western consumers.

What a confusing article overall. Clearly the author was trying to make a nuanced argument about free trade, but then the editors had to put their trademark political spin on it, with the result that the headline undermines the central thesis.
>No one, and I mean no one wants to pay for email.

I and several people I know are happy to pay for email. Every report like the one linked here makes me an even happier paying customer.

> It's also really hard to sell even a luxury sedan as an upgrade when everyone wants an SUV

I don't want an SUV. I get angry at rental companies when they try to give me one.

I increasingly don't recognize this country I grew up in with the car culture. In the early 90s nobody wanted SUVs either. The truck and SUV craze was apparently sparked by an emissions regulatory loophole, where larger vehicles were excempt because they were meant for work.
The current crop of LLMs at least have a style and voice.
It's a bit like reading Simple English Wikipedia articles,
the tone is flat

The heuristic for this is not as simple as bad spelling and grammar,
but it's consistent enough to learn to recognize.

> Israel is trying to destroy Hamas to remove this threat.

Are they though? Israel's Minister of Communication just spoke on national TV about the need to make the people of Gaza leave "voluntarily".

They want the land. That was always the goal, clearly. Because:

How does murdering 20,000 women and children remove the threat of Hamas?

How does leveling 75% of residential buildings remove the threat of Hamas?

How does salting the earth and destroying all the infrastructure necessary for life remove Hamas?

How does bombing historic mosques and churches, or universities and civic buildings remove Hamas?

How does blockading food, electricity, internet, essential medicine, and even water remove Hamas?

30,000 Palestinians have been murdered during those war crimes.

Israel are bombing and destroying refugee camps, UN shelters, UN schools, humanitarian corridors, and hospitals.

In all this, they haven't taken out one single senior Hamas leader in Gaza.

NOT ONE.

Israel hasn't rescued a single hostage. In fact, when they found three hostages - shirtless, waving white flags and calling out in Hebrew - they murdered them.

Can you imagine spending over ten billion dollars, and failing to take out one senior leader or rescue a single hostage? Even when allowed and encouraged by your leadership to kill as many civilians and destroy as much as you need to, to the point where ~90% of the population is now homeless?

Really - try, if you can, to imagine that level of failure. The world's fourth largest military, killing 10,000 babies in an effort to save a single hostage or kill a single senior Hamas leader. And failing.

And people think this will prevent terror? Absurd. Farcical.

I find it hard to believe that anyone is taken in by this - and in fact, most of the world isn't. Even a majority of Americans want a ceasefire, and they're Israel's closest ally.

> Hamas has embedded itself in civilian population, Hamas is not coming out to fight man to man in an open field

That doesn't excuse war crimes, or genocide. Neither did the atrocities of October 7th. The Genocide Convention, which Israel signed over 70 years ago, is very clear on that fact.

> how is it supposed to do that other than actually go after Hamas?

Consider - making sure 2.3 million people have nothing to lose is a profoundly stupid way to try and fight terrorism. Israel isn't defending itself - when you invade an occupied land, destroy everything, massacre refugees and kill 5 children every hour for a hundred days straight, that's not defense. It's ethnic cleansing. It's genocide.

And denying that makes you a genocide denier. Palestinians have provided HD footage of their suffering, their nightmare, their horror, for 100 days.

Israeli leadership have made little attempt to hide their intent - go to israelquotes.com and filter for the word "genocide". You can't claim ignorance any more.
Normally it's just a matter of "store a buffer of bytes received and a buffer of bytes to be sent". The "application" part doesn't do syscalls directly, just uses the buffers. Then when the application part is done (for now) you go back to the event loop which makes all the syscalls for you.

There is potential for bugs if you try to be "clever" with partially parsing the buffer before all the message's data is received, but this is still far simpler than the kind of bugs we get with async/await.
Show HN: Automatically copy events between your calendars
I initially built this one for myself. When working from home and with multiple clients, I had to manually add my appointments so that my colleagues wouldn't accidentally book that time. After a while, it just became tedious and I decided to build this out.

I think this will be useful for anyone working with multiple calendars and also service providers who manage appointments through calendars.

Looking forward for your feedback!

Also, appreciate any inputs on the pricing, ideally I would prefer this to have it as a buy once software, but I'm afraid the APIs would evolve and that would need continued work on my side.
The EIA (and the IEA) have historically underpredicted solar deploys, to a comical level. They need 2-4 years of spot on predictions before they can regain credibility on their projections, IMHO.

So I would put these projections as a bare minimum floor on how much solar will get installed. The true number is likely quite a bit higher.
It's ok to worship a cruel god, you know. Just not my cup of tea.

You don't have to pretend he is perfect or justify all his actions. Just admit that any human who made the decisions he did would be rightfully judged as an evil person, but since "might makes right" I guess god is infallible.

Mental gymnastics only helps you sleep at night and won't change the rest of our minds.

It's not web specific, but when Alexa changed the pricing on the list, our team pushed for Cisco Umbrella to publish the top 1M domains here https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/umbrella-static/index.htm... - I don't know any details about how this is currently maintained as I left Cisco/OpenDNS about 3 months after this started!
All automakers (except maybe, sort of, Volvo) have shown they'll put in a minimum amount of effort on safety unless held to higher standards either by regulators or the insurance industry. It costs money to make things safe and if you spend more money on it than you're required to, your competitors won't.

The Chinese can build a safe car if they're required to do so.

I completely understand Meta finding profitable ways to skirt around the law - even breaking it subtly at times.

But I'm very surprised the apparent offsenses are so large and so obvious.

I was expecting them do do more subtle things like 'accidentally' asking users their cookie preference every time they use the site till they hit accept, and then never asking them ever again. When investigated, they can easily say 'oh, it was a bug because the fact the user rejected cookies was itself stored in a cookie'.
My ideal future has 100% of my accounts (including bank) supporting passkeys, self-hosted bitwarden with security key for mfa (and backed up keepassxc file with copy of all passkeys and recovery codes stored encrypted in multiple places).

Then from any of my devices as long as I have my security key accessible to unlock the vault, I can log into any account using public key cryptography. To get access to the vault you need my strong password, security key, and be on a device with access to the vault or the keepass file (with a different strong password).

If I get a new phone or computer, I just need to add bitwarden and access to the network the vault is on and I will be set back up. House could burn down lose all devices including bitwarden host and the backup file would save me.

Agree. Yellow journalism is a term that was "coined in the mid-1890s to characterize the sensational journalism in the circulation war between Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal." [0]

My take is that modern communications mechanisms have changed journalism just like they changed music discovery and distribution: tons of content suddenly available at a low cost or free with ads.

This is correct, but... logic belongs in attribute strings! Even in basic HTML, it can change what kind of HTTP request your <form> makes, or what kind of value your <input> sends, or where your <a> link goes.

Without question, there's a lower expressivity ceiling to attribute-based specifications, but there is a lot that you can do within that ceiling, and you benefit in other ways by keeping your application at that "level," so to speak. [0]

SEO spammers were a thing even before Google fucked their search results. You know when Google search results were still amazing, like decade ago? SEO spammers were thriving. I know that for a fact because I worked for one back then. 90% of why Google search sucks now is due to Google being too greedy, only the rest is caused by SEO spammers.
This is neat. I always wondered if it was possible or if anyone has made a fancy UI for instrumentation / dashboard using a game engine.

Well, it's not that simple. Even GDPR has circumstances where "Right to be forgotten" aren't applied. Even when it does apply, it must be done without "undue delay". Which is about a month.

Some of them are:

- "Establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims"

- "Compliance with a legal obligation, the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority."

In my B2B product, I do soft-deletes, but there is a task that cleans up deleted records older than N days at a specified interval.

I would like to have feedback about this platform from the community. thanks for your time.
My dad worked for Swift & Co. for 45 years. Nonetheless, when I first switched jobs, he applauded me, with "They're not loyal to you, so why should you be loyal to them?"

A corollary to what everyone said here is: always be thinking about the value of what you're doing to someone else. They always give the big rewards to people who happily take on "relevant to this place ONLY" tasks. You get promoted if you suck up to the middle managers and acquire skills that absolutely no other company values.

So if you pursue skills that are strictly "looking out for ME" you can expect some blowback. Ignore it.

I could easily believe that lack of sunlight (vitamin D) and exercise accounts for almost all of the observed increase.

The paradigm is changed beyond that. Exams are irrelevant if intelligence is freely available to everyone. Anyone who can ask questions can be a doctor, anyone can be an architect. All of those duties are at the fingertips of anyone who cares to ask. So why make people take exams for what is basically now common knowledge? An exam certifies you know how to do something, well if you can ask questions you can do anything.

I don't understand the rationale for removing support for any algorithm. I can understand disabling support, but why remove it?
