> It doesn't justify it, because presenting yourself as a victim and betraying the trust and good heart of the native population just to backstab them is a different case than war between countries.

The violent Islamic expansion was not a war between countries. Is Islam a country? It was a rampage for land, pure and simple [1]

> Any mentally sane human would have rejected that "resolution", which is/was non-binding anyway

Hear, hear, now hardly a day passes without another UN resolution against Israel, sponsored by the same elements, who then accuse Israel of not complying with the resolutions. If the resolutions are non-binding, why do they keep accusing Israel of not heeding them? On the other hand, do we get to pick and choose which resolutions we will heed or not?

> Why are you saying "accused" when Israel has a documented track record of ignoring international law

International law should be followed by all, at all times. The Palestinians and their backers have no moral high ground here, not at all.

> Again, that's a complete lie and I have linked you a detailed documentary[0] which exposes that narrative as a fabrication of the israeli hasbara ministry

Was Egypt not massing troops in preparation for an attack on Israel? Or are we living in separate universes.

> It's truly fascinating how you, as a black man, are so hellbent on defending an apartheid ethno-state with such cold-blooded dishonesty.

You are avoiding my question: In your opinion, is the conflict not be resolvable until Israel is obliterated? And, what does the fact that I'm black have to do with anything?

> Any sensible human wants to see an end to apartheid and occupation first. The call for a ceasefire has nothing to do with that,

Oh, so you don't want a proper solution for now. You just you want a ceasefire that gives Hamas a reprieve to continue to build up their capacity to massacre Israeli civilians again.

> That's Israel you are talking about and this description perfectly describes Israel's genocidal behavior

Again, you don't answer my question: How do you live with, or negotiate, with an adversary who is only seeking your total destruction? What exactly does Hamas want again?

> I've used it precisely 2 times, how is that many times? You guys can't just stick to debating facts without dishonestly accusing others of antisemitism because you know that your arguments are all based on lies and distortions.

It is you who cannot stick to the argument without resorting to name calling and ad-hominem attacks. You have called me a liar, cold-blooded, not mentally sane, and the like.

Yes, you’re 100% correct. You’ve described kin selection. So if grandparent fish can somehow help their grandchildren procreate more, then that can be selected for.

I’ve heard of territory defense helping with fish, but no idea about the fish mentioned specifically.

Also to the previous comment, I think there’s already a fair bit of evidence that older larger fish do continue to breed, (hence throwing back the bigger fish breeders).

But if they stop breeding, and there is no kin selection; then yes, natural selection wouldn’t play a role.
But what if you look at it from an auction theory perspective. If there's a set of buyers with a set of bids, you're trying to get a large set of buyers (if you're pulling samples from a distribution, more samples = higher max), but you're also trying to increase the value these buyers are willing to pay (shift the distribution to the right). I wonder if there's some amount of customization, in a healthy housing market (tons of buyers) that you can do that increases the expected max bid despite decreasing number of prospective buyers.

Agreed, plus I must imagine that Python's opinion on syntax and whitespace may not make this a most ergonomic solution.

Where does this verge into the realm of a Jupyter notebook? And why would this be better than such a notebook? The usecase for this markdown and rendering is... vs. a notebook? Genuinely curious about this, because sure you can make code do stuff, but is it worth it?
Oh for sure, it's a great question.
I didn't know this was syntactically valid, but maybe it is.
Many academics do not believe that this is necessary. Maybe the experiment example is a bad one, since it would make sense to cite a related experiment. Perhaps writing a pop science article that uses a paragraph from a paper they wrote is a better example.

But I think my example would not be acceptable for a student. You may not re-use a paragraph you wrote, even if you cite it. Double submission is often treated similarly to plagiarism.

My main point is that what is and isn’t plagiarism is contested, outside of high school and undergraduate students.

If I go to maps.google.com in incognito mode, it opens directly on my hometown, presumably from my IP address.

Google can use _at least_ the combination of this and my browser UA to track me should they so desire. (There may be other persistent cookie-like things, who knows.)

This new prompt is them admitting that they do. I would rather that they chose not to.
WireGuard is a lot heavier than shadowsocks-libev. shadowsocks-libev is literally under 5MB of ram used and very little CPU. Also very quick to compile and config. WireGuard is a full fledged heavy VPN. Shadowsocks can be used as a simple socks proxy if you want; and that's plenty for stopping Comcast from injecting malicious javascript into my HTTP connections.
I mean, that's going to eat up quota limits, and the VPN provider, most of them will still hand over information if requested - assuming they don't just firewall off torrents.

Generally paying for a seedbox is the accepted way to pirate while hiding IP.
Part of this is that it’s only been recently that mobile OSes have started to approach a similar level of maturity as their desktop counterparts, while also introducing and developing new concepts that desktop OSes never had (like permissions). For some number of years a high level of churn was inevitable.

As for the, “binary too old” thing on the Play store that could be a low effort way of weeding out apps with security vulnerabilities due to old dependencies. There isn’t really an equivalent on Windows for this because it doesn’t have any kind of centralized, hosted app management (at least that people actually use). It’s not uncommon for maintainers of Linux package manager repos to remove “abandoned” (as in hasn’t received any updates in X time) packages for similar reasons, leaving users who want them to source them elsewhere.
Crazy to see how quickly an open source LLM was satisfied and offered to the AI market.

> Buffalofish can go decades between successful reproductions because they require very specific environmental conditions—most of which are still unknown—to procreate. That’s why the fish evolved to live so long: It’s an evolutionary adaptation to account for long periods without breeding, according to Lackmann.

This reminds me of "The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant" by Nick Bostrom [1]. Senescence is engraved in our brains as universal. Just like our expectation about health which should deteriorate overtime.

Didn't this use mostly off the shelf parts? If so, I wonder how this will impact costs on future missions. If they can do more with consumer hardware, they can save budget to apply toward more science.
Here's a paper that describes what the next gen could/should be. The lead author is the head of Mars heli, IIRC.

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9843501

In short: 30kg heli, 5kg payloads. Other designs by collaborators are closer to 20kg. It's probably possible to transport a few of these on the existing lander technology, which would be awesome.

The scholar.google.com keywords you want are "Mars Science Helicopter" and a good touchpoint author is T. Tzanetos or S. Withrow-Maser

Ames and JPL were still collaborating on this when I worked there.

"A Christian did something bad, let's insult God and Christianity!"

That's the point of this article and its title.

But no one cares about the missionaries who risk their lives to benefit others, and all positive things are thrown out the window.

Then, let's blame God because a human did something bad "in His name."

See the irrationality of the "logic"?

Thus, for a period of six hours, visitors were invited to use any of the objects on the table on the artist, who subjected herself to their treatment. The artist has stated, ‘the experience I drew from this work was that in your own performances you can go very far, but if you leave decisions to the public, you can be killed’ (quoted in Ward 2009, p.132).

You seem to think that because I think this particular article wasn't "sponsored content," that I don't believe sponsored content exists at all.

I wouldn't even be so sure that it qualifies as real academic plagiarism. Some of the recent newsworthy examples from Harvard, for instance, were close to full paragraphs.

This example, for instance, is just a phrase and a cliche at that:

“A majestic wrought iron gate brought in from a Southern plantation”

The accuser can't even get little details like the number of books sold versus downloaded.

I've sat on academic committees judging plagiarism and I would not consider these examples to be an obvious case. Not by any means.
...this really sounds like an ad.

I am not in the market for any of this stuff, but as a piece of advice HN readers respond much better to technical marketing than anything that smells like sales copy.

If you were you going to rewrite this, I would expect to understand WHY your thing is different or better. Does it render faster? Does it have a cleaner API? Is it built on different primitives?

"These are ok for having a quick pilot for data scientists not for real projects." <- this sentence doesn't mean anything.
We have a model Gigantopithicus in a case in our anthropology and natural science museum, on the UofIowa campus! Been there since I was small.

It's impressive.

In fact the whole museum is impressive. Put together late 1800's or early 1900's by old-school botanists and biologists who roamed the globe, the Mammal Hall even has a blue whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling of the main hall!

I get it, because I was diagnosed very late. The sense of opportunities missed is a killer, I feel for him. It's only lucking into a skillset like ours and a wonderful mother, and then wife that let me pull off a reasonable facsimile of adulting for as long as I did - and it was more like "basic functioning" than "thriving".

I've got no problem with the OXO Good Grips argument ("accommodations help everyone"). The only thing I'll take issue with is laying the blame at the feet of the modern world, because I know I'd be just as much of a flake if I lived in a village of 75 people and grew turnips for a living.

I am still missing why people are so crazy about airdrop. Sure, it seems nice, and is nice to interact with, but all my stuff is already in the cloud and i don't seem to need to share it very often with people around me. What are some of the use-cases you personally use airdrop for?
I've tried a lot of similar tools for sending files between devices in local area network and found that https://localsend.org works best. Yes, it requires an application installation, but the transfers are much more faster and reliable when browser is not involved.

I figured it was more of a 'none of us are without sin' type of idea - that no matter how thoroughly you cover the problems you can think of, you should have the modesty to realise there could be innumerable problems you didn't think of.

Meh. This is just latching on to some large companies (Netflix, etc) who already stated they won't be building custom apps for it. Netflix doesn't even have a native Mac app, so it's not surprising that they wouldn't have a native app for the Vision Pro, especially if the built in Safari can do everything a native App could or would.

Now, if there was an advantage to building an app for Netflix, et al then they will. I suspect that the success of the device (or failure) will determine if/when these large companies start thinking more seriously about native apps.

Many companies jumped on to the Apple Watch bandwagon only to find its limited nature hindered app development too much. Apple pitched the use case for the Watch in 3 areas, turns out it thrived on notifications and fitness tracking.

Talk to me after the Vision Pro launches and users start providing feedback on needs, etc and what the actual use case is.
I believe it's 1, considering the statement 'If only more than two languages would exist!'. Granted, sarcasm doesn't transmit well in written text.
Yes, they are susceptible to temperature. Seasonal temperature changes are mostly what causes them in the first place. Additionally, researchers have used water temperature to create otolith barcodes in captive fish before release. Otolith bands are the result of seasonal changes in growth rate, which is highly trusted to temperature and is why it's a less reliable technique in tropical or deep water species.

That getting said, climate change and other things are unlikely to overwhelm the seasonal cycles. Yes, it's gotten warmer, but it's still colder in winter.

It's also preferable to have validation for a given taxa, but i wouldn't expect that particular worry to be the failure more.

Comcast started attacking it's customers via MITM about ~2013 or so. Initially it was ads, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=co... . This would break things like, say, the Steam browser and prevent it from working. I literally had this happen to me. Eventually Comcast changed it's terms of service and violated it's contracts with existing customers and started limiting total data transfer to about 1 TB/mo. When it started doing this it also started MITM injecting JS about your usage into HTTP connections: https://rietta.com/blog/comcast-insecure-injection/

Comcast is the only non-56k ISP available in my area still in 2024. So I use them... but I also have to make sure to protect myself from their attacks. If I did what they're doing I'd go to prison. But some types of legal persons have more rights than human persons.
The Shockley-Quiesser limit only applies to single junction PV cells. PV will likely eventually go with stacked cells of different bandgaps.
Missing context: I believe the building referred to as "The Josh" is the Gluck+ affordable housing development Van Sinderen Plaza. [1]

Compare the colorful panel surfacing to the description "Our new neighbor is a classic 5-over-1: retail on the ground floor, topped with several stories of apartments one wouldn’t want to be able to afford... We spent the summer certain that the caution tape–yellow panels on The Josh’s south side were insulation, to be eventually supplanted by an actual facade. Alas, in its finished form The Josh really is yellow, and also burgundy, gray, and brown."

The coy phrasing about "apartments one wouldn’t want to be able to afford" is a disguised reference to the fact that the apartments are reserved only for low-income residents; the author would not want to live in Brooklyn on the poverty-level income required to be eligible for the housing development.

The pictured sculpture the author dislikes is "Waiting" by the artist KAWS (Brian Donnelly). [2]

Trying to micromanage “effort” is a losing game. If your cofounders are accomplishing what they need to, but you feel like they’re not as engaged, don’t just check out mentally, communicate. If they’re not doing the work they need to do, communicate and learn to pick better when you’re selecting cofounders.

But trying to micromanage time and tie it to equity isn’t a fix.
Um isn't it completely obvious that this is about local history?

Let's say that you are using the internet to "buy your wife some jewellery". You want to be sure that she won't see your search history for "jewellery" or visiting "jewellery" websites.

It is perfect for that. Anyone who thought this somehow made them anonymous on the internet is probably the sort of person who thinks that wearing dark glasses or growing a beard is going to let them hide from the police too.
Counterpoint; Apple is still just as greedy as they were when Xserve failed the first time.

Cloud customers want good prices and well-supported hardware. On the server, Mac is neither of those really. Apple's hardware pricing would need a complete revision to stay competitive, and their software policy would need to open up even more to enable better API coverage, proper virtualization and compelling hardware compatibility. Even if Apple did that, it would merely be enough to keep MacOS a second-class citizen in the world of server OSes. The existence of OpenBSD and Linux almost obsoletes any real-world application of a licensed server OS.

Apple can go back into the server business if they want, but the server business isn't begging for more overhead or grudge matches between vendors. Apple cannot turn the server industry into a trillion-dollar opportunity without reversing policy entirely, on both the hardware and software side of things.

> And to say that they left Gaza alone is just an outright lie. They have had control over every port of entry, with merchandise not being able to enter into Gaza with Israeli approval since... the 1980s. Before the Hamas boogeyman.

How can you say that with a straight face. Israel implemented a blockade to prevent _weapons_ from flowing into Gaza, a good thing, I would say. Or are you saying they prevented aid from flowing into Gaza? That would be quite the claim.

> Also, what do Palestinians have to do with African slavery? Do we attribute that to all Arabs? Does that logic works too for blaming say, a Nigerian for something South Africans do? Do you blame Israelis for their treatment of Ethiopian Jews?

I was responding to your claim that brown lives matter less in the west. If you are painting with such a broad brush like the "west", then may I also be permitted to paint with a similar brush "Middle East". Are you saying Palestinians are somehow more moral that Arabs in general?

But, you don't even address my main point. What's your solution? For Israel to cease to exist?
Apple has no moral obligation to enter the server space.

Mac Minis aren’t designed for data center use. This is a hack.

Apple was in the server space and they were terrible at it[1]. Further, macOS is a terrible, inflexible server OS. Linux is king, for better or… well, for the better.
