That's a very big assumption, that the reason politics is not front and center in my life if because I am somehow privileged and that those in power protect my interests.

In truth, I am an immigrant from a poor country. I depend on a Visa to stay in my country of residence. I am an ethnical minority.

What is good for your mental health is exercising some detachment. Life is too short to waste it on things beyond your power. I prefer to focus on how I can improve my own life and the lives of those I love instead, and to spend my free time in things that make me happy.

Maybe my privilege is having the wisdom to differentiate the things I can change from the things I can't.
But as a destination? What taxes do you pay as a tourist in a "normal" country, sales taxes?
Some how my experience doesn't reflect this. I keep going back to GPT if i need an answer. I even say most of the time I prefer 3.5 better than Google Bard. GPT 4 is definitely way better than Bard for sure.
A major difference is that Israel instigated the first large scale attacks in the 1982 War, whereas Hamas instigated the ongoing war.
This article from 2022 talks about ideas to retire the F-22 early:

> which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;

You can't just put a single civilian in every military base and be protected by international law. Collateral damage isn't necessarily a war crime.
I've put a fair amount of thought into the decision to not carry a phone everywhere I go and this beast always rears its head. Obviously, there was a time when people didn't have phones but society's more or less moved on; people generally expect others to have one and social services reflect that.

Anyway, I think reading this comment kinda gave me my answer: be selective about when I take my phone. Kinda the inverse of the murderer not taking their phone when they go to hide the body (I'm not planning to murder anyone); I just don't take my phone unless I plan on being in a situation where there will not be a good alternative to having my own means of communication, e.g., a road trip or vacation. Traveling within my city of residence will likely be feasible, especially if I try to do so primarily with a vehicle smaller than a car.

But yeah, if one has this idea, keep in mind that people started taking their phones everywhere because they're useful in many situations.
I think you're typically dealing with much messier git histories than I do.

Anyway, accidentally-breaking commits can be skipped, but squashed commits can't be unsquashed.

I spend a lot of time at The Warzone (https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone) and the F-35 is now almost unanimously considered a resounding success.

> The number of people who left cities when remote work gave them the chance should make that obvious

The number of people who left cities is a remarkably small part of the US population and many of them just left high-cost cities for other lower-cost cities.

The steady increase in % of the US population who live in cities (83% in 2023 up from 70% in 2022) [https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/urba...] suggests that yes, Americans do in fact want to live in cities.
It's telling that the hardware team could create a whole locking diff faster than programmers can type into a computer.
I’m saying addiction as a term referred to chemical dependency. Now it is being redefined to mean “people doing anything I don’t like and don’t think they should do”. Whatever you call it there is a tremendous difference in type between alcoholism or opioid dependency and social media use. Calling them the same word is grossly misleading if not outright lying.
It doesn't look like the account was deleted. I think the user just changed their username: https://twitter.com/quant_arb/status/1487265241692053509

Semver doesn't stop people from depending on unstable/implementation-specific behaviour; it needs to be coupled with a strong mechanism for defining what behaviour is defined by an API, and the result is that "the bug" is with all those users who depend on un-guaranteed behaviour.

The breaks happen regardless, but you have a principled way of defining whose fault/problem it is.
> Get rid of that, and the incentive to delete literally anything that's not legally required to be archived goes away too.

Not exactly.

One of the reasons companies do this is that random employees don't know how laws and courts work. They'll say things without knowing that the words they're using are a term of art with a different meaning in the law than it has the way they're using it, and then write something which would be damning if it was what they actually meant, but it wasn't what they actually meant. Or that sounds damning if taken out of context. Also, sometimes they really are breaking the law without knowing it and not having the evidence of that sitting around isn't really to the company's advantage either.

The only real way to prevent companies from wanting to delete it would be to make it so it couldn't be used against them if they kept it.
When this interesting is when they start requiring any LLMs trained on your internal data be handed over for interrogation.
Goalpost moving aside, that statement is definitively untrue.

For one, Israel does not control the Gaza border with Egypt (which shocker... Egypt does). Israel has provided a ton of humanitarian aid to Gaza over the years including water and electricity but they do not control their water or electricity (kinda hard to do that or even claim that is being done since they don't have a presence in the country).
Hilarious take.

Touch device with cellular radio physically attached to car: A-ok

Touch device with a radio not connected to the car? VERBOTEN.
It is way easier to verify those numbers though, there is an actual list of names and journalists can (and have) talk to the families etc.
Comparing different versions of an adventure module that has been released for multiple editions can be instructive. When I did this, it seemed to me that each new edition was more explicit than the last, with more precise and simple language, and less evocative prose.
It applies very much to end user desktops as well, with snap, flatpak, etc. working towards it. Lots of software requires dependencies that aren't compatible with each other and result in absolute dependency hell or even a broken install when you dare to have more than one version of something. Because who would ever need that, right? Especially not in a dev desktop environment...

Windows is basically all self-contained executables and the few times it isn't it's a complete mess with installing VC++ redistributables or the correct Java runtime or whatever that clueless users inevitably mess up.

We have the disk space, we have the memory, we have the broadband to download it all. Even more so on desktop than on some cheap VPS.
If the kid does well in tournaments etc they should have no problem getting sponsored, even from overseas if necessary. I had that opportunity and have since passed it on to the next generation.
I was talking about this article specifically, which has zero mentions of third party browser engines.

I have significant doubts about that.
> Can you name a single state in the world with a majority muslim population that hasn't adopted any laws based on religion or passed any laws that discriminate against non-muslims?

Ironically this can be applied on isreal which declare itself Jewish state and have law of return [1] which allow any Jewish a right to "come" to isreal but does not extend the same to arab who were kicked during establishment of isreal

I agree with you, for example, traffic calming devices (speed bumps, roundabouts, chicanes) are incredibly effective. However I think enforcement needs to be rethought, cars are essentially just computers now and they know what the speed limit is, so why don't they automatically limit the speed of cars?

If you want to race, that's fine, but don't do it on public roads. Go to a race track that's designed for that.

And also agree on drugs, we should just legalize everything IMO. Prohibition has never worked, anyone who wants to do drugs are going to do them, and we're better off helping than harming people by filling up the prisons.
That screenshot about renting and dogs...

Who would think that's a good idea?

* Is it people who have trouble with reading comprehension, and don't understand that other people can read a lot more into writing than they do?

* People who are insincere?

* People who think corporate-BS language like "for your protection" and "due to unusually high call volumes" is professional- and smart-sounding?

* People who want to create more utter BS filler in the world for some reason. (See SEO, or the eBay seller feature to create bulk of lies like "the total solution for all your computing needs", etc.)

The only scenario I can think of to which I'm sympathetic is non-native speakers who aren't fluent, and who need a translator, or are afraid of politeness faux pas. But even that has pitfalls: a reader with basic reading comprehension is going to infer things about the 'writer' that simply aren't true. For example, a milquetoast LLM like ChatGPT hits some native idioms, and the reader doesn't realize that there's a huge cultural disconnect in awareness and meaning. Even if the text is even superficially saying what the non-fluent person intended (and even that isn't a given, since they're not fluent enough to check).
A friend of mine is an actor, not famous at all but was given this visa. Not and engineer at all but has some type of hacker mind: really stubborn and being resourceful in some scenarios.
They say that, but they're wrong.

Monopolies happen when one company has enough money to buy out the competition, when one company has enough leverage to lock out the competition, or when it's a "natural monopoly" (and maybe some other situations). None of those requires government protection to create; all require government intervention to avoid and/or control.
The install fee applies to free applications.
> No it didn't.

On the contrary, it's something of a scandal they're not transparent about who wrote what, as Google alone spent on the order of $100M in lobbying to shape, and has been all over this for a while. This, from 2020:

“Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are among the companies making huge efforts to shape the upcoming Commission proposals to regulate the digital market. In spite of a new lockdown, the Brussels Bubble is back in action at full speed, with a flurry of online lobby meetings and debates plus highly questionable research papers.” ...

“Who has been lobbying?”

“The quick and simple answer is Big Tech firms, with Google leading the pack.”

”This is clear from the lobby meetings proactively disclosed by the upper echelons of the Commission (commissioners, their cabinets, and directors-general). Since the start of the Von der Leyen Commission, 158 meetings were logged as including discussions on the DMA or DSA Sidenote.”

“These meetings involved 103 organisations, mostly companies and lobby groups. Only 13 actors had at least 3 or more meetings logged on these issues. Google stands out with the most meetings with Microsoft and Facebook trailing close behind. Apple and Amazon have also lobbied on the DMA and/ or DSA, although they rank lower overall with two and one meeting respectively.”

https://corporateeurope.org/en/2020/12/big-tech-brings-out-b...

That was 4 years ago. If you think they stopped lobbying, meeting, and writing... then you haven't been paying attention to which EU commissioners are getting kicked out for what and why.
One more small point - people here mention how long ago the Holocaust was and far removed from memory. That's not really true. If you look at Pew 2013 poll of American Jews [0] they found:

> About three-quarters (73%) of American Jews say remembering the Holocaust is an essential part of being Jewish

that's above any other option.

This is it. This is why I think AI is a better writer than I am.
While their statistics are regarded as an accurate account of the total death toll, they make no distinction between civilian and combatant deaths. This is obviously a crucial shortcoming if we are trying to ascertain whether the number of civilian deaths are disproportionate to the military objectives.
Yep. I understand their view, but I don't think it always holds.

Once an entity like Apple becomes Apple, it can't really be competed with in the traditional sense. The whole European Union likely couldn't create a new Apple if they wanted to due to inertia and the insane capital costs. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that's more of a factor here.

I agree with the Libertarian view that a lot of firms don't want to compete, so they lobby for special protections that come out of the tax layers in a somewhat coercive manner. In some cases (national defense) I think it's acceptable, but probably not for all cases.
From a timing perspective would that not have been during the FOGBANK debacle? A lot of military contractors temporarily got very interested in data preservation...
"X could mark the end of Y" is a ridiculously outworn headline. It's practically the Betteridge's law of headlines for the tech industry.
The difference (loss) between SSE and AFUE is intended to cover this effect, provided the equipment is sized correctly (almost never done and almost always at least 50% oversized, leading to short-cycling and greater spread between SSE and actual fuel use [meaning AFUE is overstated]).

That might give some terms to Google and find additional data.

Peak COP’s equivalent is closest to SSE; SCOP is closest to AFUE.

The people voted for Hamas = Hamas government. Just because some Israeli politicians were at one point supportive of Hamas is relevant how?
IBM Mainframe was an answer when computers couldn't vertical scale fast enough. Cloud is the answer when our systems couldn't horizontally scale fast and reliably enough. So, the real question is: can we really scale our need of computation again on a single computer or on a set of computers with low enough cost to render Cloud unnecessary?
I mean, if both branches "foo" and "bar" are in your fork, you can't open a PR in the upstream repo, can you? As soon as I try, GitHub redirects me to my fork to create the PR there
Biden apparently wants to lose. Watch every single campaign event be protested (many protesters are Jews). Yeah, that's definitely going to lower turnout on the DEM side.

Biden is not only going to lose, Trump might even get a trifecta.

about that list, i am sorry, but i don't feel that badmouthing anyone is healthy ever. doing that in a group is not catharsis but it is reinforcing bad attitudes, discontent or even hatred. that is not something i want in my company.

if any of my employees set up such a list or forum, i would tell them to stop that immediately, under threat of being fired if they didn't comply. not because of the risks involved, but because i do not want anyone to think that doing that is ok. it isn't!

Perhaps its best to just never say anything that you wouldn't want published.
Plenty of everything gets lost to the sands of time--some fortuitously--but there are segments in a given era that got lost far more.
Wishful thinking:

The Air Force NGAD program to replace the F-22 is moving along. They are currently bidding for fighter part of the program with Boeing and Lockheed Martin as the contenders. The Air Force wants a larger fighter for greater range in the Pacific.

The Air Force seems to have figured out how to rapid development of aircraft. The B-21 was awarded contract in 2015, first flight was recently, and they are already making production aircraft, with entering service in 2027. The B-21 is heavily based on the B-2 so that probably made development faster.
Why is disproportionality meaningful ? Why is 695 dead Israeli civilians against 15-20000 dead Palestinian civilians meaningful? Because it goes to the hypocritical heart of what a life is worth to a tribesman.

And no they DO NOT have full right to subdue those attacks through all means necessary. There are laws to warfare. Dropping large bombs on a densely populated area of civilians is a breach of those laws. Find another way to get rid of Hamas but show respect civilian life.
Humans are weird, and they don't behave how you might expect. But once you've lived for a while and seen it first hand many times, it starts to make sense in a weird way.
For some reason this has made me wonder what the most circuitous route for a loan word has been.

Imagine if “junta” had taken a trip up through Central Europe and then to the Scandinavians, then down, so we could pronounce it “yunta.”
It doesn't matter. Hamas is not a member of the ICJ. The state of palestine is a member but hamas aren't recognized as the representive of the state of palestine.

Additionally, the state of palestine is not a party to this case.

So no, the icj cannot tell hamas to do anything. The only people it can give orders to in this case are israel and south africa.

Hamas's crines are the juridsiction of the ICC.
> I cant speak much about the system, it just works,

What systems don't just work by this criteria?

Just because something is statically linked vs dynamically linked, as long as you are within "normal expected operating conditions", does it really make a "just works vs doesn't work" quality difference?
What is an ELN?
Yeah, nothing about this looks necessary or advisable. The only people who want this are the Google PMs who have to “integrate AI” by Q2.
> One of Charlemagne’s last descendants to be king of West Francia – the predecessor kingdom to France – grew up in the court of his uncle, King Æthelstan of Wessex in the tenth century.

Just to put things in perspective, Franks were a Germanic people and were much more culturally affine to the Anglo-Saxons.

Charlemagne didn't speak "French" so it's no surprise Louis IV didn't either.

The Latin substrate in the territory of modern France was so strong that it gradually took over the Germanic ruling class over centuries. Old French evolved during this time before the norman conquest.
The US is going to have 1000+ soon, even if they lost half of them they'd still have enough to roll the stealth fighter fleets of China and Russia at the same time.
In America, the reverse is true. Most French words are butchered, most Spanish words are at least pronounced properly (sometimes with an accent).

I suspect it has something to do with proximity to native speakers of the language, as France (effectively) borders the UK and Mexico borders the US.
Is there really any carrier that still charges for SMS?
People say this all the time, but I've yet to see this demonstrated. I am extremely skeptical of it, since it seems to comport with people wanting it to be true.

I think the biggest issue here is simply that the United States has created a transportation system that is inherently unsafe and ungovernable. By universalizing the automobile as the only de facto mode of transportation, we have made revoking a bad driver's license a hardship.

The only way to fix the problem is fixing the infrastructure which is extremely expensive, and politically would be wildly unpopular. We are currently doing the exact opposite -- increasing vehicle size and weight in a myopic arms race -- which means we will likely live with the scourge of traffic deaths (100+ dead per day) for the rest of our lives...
From my interaction with local utilities/electrical companies, they _hate_ domestic solar. They'll do everything in their power to stonewall you getting them installed and make it seem like a useless/expensive option.
Looking at the historical data, that tends to be a pattern of urban warfare, not the IDF.

Civilian/combatant fatality ratios of 3/1 are not uncommon in urban warfare.
> May 2022 - Left my SWE job at Wave and incorporated my own startup called Path (a Delaware C corp)
I was permitted to remain in the USA, since I was not employed by Path yet. My understanding is that it is permissible to do exploratory work on a new startup as long as you are not employed by that startup, and your previous visa has not expired.
It was during this time that my cofounder and I raised money for Path.
Note: If I had left the USA during this time, I would not have been permitted to re-enter on my old L1-B visa.

This sounds iffy. I'm in the US on a L1-B visa as well, and my company went through rounds of layoffs, which concerned me. All information I've read, including the immigration team from my company (Big Tech), points out that if I lost my job, I would have had a short time to leave the country with no chance to find other jobs.

Unless I'm reading too much into it, it sounds like OP spent some time in the US in an illegal status, until that gap was bridged with the new visa.

Software that can delete your copy of a text is fine. Software that can delete somebody else's copy of a text is not going to satisfy the somebody else, and is also not going to work because if they don't like it there are several other ways they can copy it, which in turn means you have no guarantees that they've deleted it and shouldn't expect any.
