Ignoring political concerns (which is a big problem); Chinese manufacturers make great products.

DJI, huawei and insta360 are three off the top of my head that are perfectly capable of going up against global brands.

Additionally, almost every high quality brand has manufacturing in China; Apple, Microsoft, Nikon, Canon, Dyson, the list goes on.

This is more a problem of “you get what you pay for”. No name hoverboards were a real problem because designing a compact, high power draw, lithium powered device is hard to do. Segway, ninebot, etc all make great ‘hoverboard’ like products.
This idea stems from lack of familiarity with Israeli society.

Israel is a small country with very few degrees of separation between people.

The communities attacked are highly organized, hate the current government,somewhat critical of the establishment, and closely connected to the highest ranks in the IDF. Including some generals. And also connected to many of the fighters who were there on the ground.

There is absolutely zero chance that the army would kill many people and that it would be kept hidden from the families and the public in large.

Also, Hamas was not merely taking hostages, but spraying people with bullets and setting houses on fire with families in them. So your SWAT team dillema means nothing, as the army had no other option other then engaging with the enemy as fast as possible.
The fact that in many places special forces were indeed sent to carefuly deal with hostage situations is being criticised as it may have wasted time in which the Hamas was killing more people, and people who were trapped in their homes got choked or burned.

The better strategy may have been to charge at the terrorists, as their numbers and whereabouts were unknown and while some were holding hostages others were still moving around in cars or by foot looking for hostages to take or victims to kill.

The only confirmed friendly fire case during October 7 that I personally read about was a tank that entered into a fire exchange with Hamas hostage takers.

40 terrorists and 15 hostages were surrounded in a house at Be'eri,
Firing at IDF and police forces that surrounded the house.

After a failed negotiation in which the Hamas commander alone surrenderd with one hostage, fighting resumed.

The Hamas members were firing with guns and RPGs at the tank and nearby forces.

The Tank fired two shells at the house killing the terrorists and all but 1 of the remaining hostages.

I actually had trouble with the entirety of the article as soon as the nag was described as firing when glancing at mirrors or the radio.
Having HW3 and a HW4 cars that were on the December upgrade train as well as now being on the latest the latest, our experience is that it requires more discipline, but it is most definitely not firing for glances at mirrors or even looking at the info screen for 2-4 second durations.

When I was young and dumb and student-teaching high school Physics class, I called the study of Biology the "Naming of Parts" in an ill-advised effort to dissuade one of my students from pursuing Biology.

While kind of funny, it was a cruel thing to try to dissuade anyone from their passion. Also, unbeknownst to me, the Biology teacher had just walked in behind me at that precise moment.

Also, I think engineers generally get the brunt of it — as in the joke:

Mathematician: Three is prime, five is prime, seven is prime, so by induction all odd numbers are prime.

Physicist: Three is prime, five is prime, seven is prime, nine is .... experimental error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, etc.

Engineer: Three is prime, five is prime, seven is prime, nine is prime, eleven is prime, etc.
My first thought reading the post: Apps and concepts can't need anything. I would instead think about where you might offer a better experience for users. I understand the shorthand but sometimes framing the question or problem affects how we think about solutions.

Most of the disruptors from the last two decades are gone -- Amazon, YouTube, et al. are the survivors. If you look at the survivors most of them got picked up by bigger companies -- Google/Alphabet owns YouTube, for example.

Barnes & Noble is still in business and supposedly coming back. Borders didn't survive. Small bookstores still serve local customers. Amazon disrupted logistics and online retail, not just the book business, and I think their takeover of book publishing happened more through the Kindle and DRM'd e-books than through online sales.

Netflix, HBO, and Disney probably did more to push traditional television out of the living room than YouTube, and Comcast is still going strong in the US. If you're into sports or like to watch news and junk TV you still need a TV service, at least in the US. Very little of that content gets to YouTube unless you mean YouTube's TV service, which to me is just another option for TV service -- it doesn't produce new material.

If I had an actual idea to answer your question I wouldn't post it here, I'd try to build it myself.

Ask HN: When you upgrade your laptop, what's your migration process?
I recently upgraded my laptop, and I'm changing Linux distros at the same time. I'm curious about both the practical and philosophical aspects of such migrations. For example:

- Do you re-flash the BIOS before migrating? Is there a good database of which BIOS versions are vulnerable to LogoFail?

- Do you restore from your backup? Or, is it more reliable to plug your old drive in and copy the data over manually? Are there any tricks for lessening the chances of silently losing or corrupting data in the process?

- Do you copy over your whole browser profile, or just import the things you care about (bookmarks, passwords, about:config settings) to get rid of accumulated cruft?

- Do you have a script in your dotfiles to install and configure all your apps, or do you do it manually?

- Do you comb through the parts of your system that aren’t backed up (if any), to make sure nothing worth keeping ended up there by accident? If so, how?

- Long shot: has anyone successfully mounted a running Linux machine as a drive over USB, ala Mac's “target disc mode”?

- How long do you keep the data on your old drive?

- How long does the whole process usually take you?

Thanks!

If you are the single working member in a family after a certain size, you may still qualify for SNAP. Usually, not only in the US, but in most countries with similar well-fare programs, the eligibility is determined by the household income, not the individual.

Also, Wallmart have plenty of non full-time jobs, which tend to attract a lot of single mons that have no access to child-care, and this probably increases the probability of those employees being eligible to SNAP.

The media loves to drop those kind of number without context for page-views.

You can put it all in one big file that will ensure no one contributes or tries to maintain the code.

I think your best option is not to swim against the current. The vast majority of developers organize code in files and folders because people can easily understand hierarchies. Developer tools (IDEs and editors) have good search and fuzzy find built-in so you don't have to click through folder hierarchies to find a file, or find where a function gets defined.
I'm in favor of this if the only enforcement actions are against social media companies for being predatory, and not against families for breaking the law and allowing their kids on social media. And it's useful for indicating that social media on the balance is not good for kids.
About the travelling salesperson problem, below is a quote from the latest Sapolsky's book Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will. I am not sure how relevant this is for software developers, but still fascinating:

"An ant forages for food, checking eight different places. Little ant legs get tired, and ideally the ant visits each site only once, and in the shortest possible path of the 5,040 possible ones (i.e., seven factorial). This is a version of the famed “traveling salesman problem,” which has kept mathematicians busy for centuries, fruitlessly searching for a general solution. One strategy for solving the problem is with brute force— examine every possible route, compare them all, and pick the best one. This takes a ton of work and computational power— by the time you’re up to ten places to visit, there are more than 360,000 possible ways to do it, more than 80 billion with fifteen places to visit. Impossible. But take the roughly ten thousand ants in a typical colony, set them loose on the eight- feeding- site version, and they’ll come up with something close to the optimal solution out of the 5,040 possibilities in a fraction of the time it would take you to brute- force it, with no ant knowing anything more than the path that it took plus two rules (which we’ll get to). This works so well that computer scientists can solve problems like this with “virtual ants,” making use of what is now known as swarm intelligence."

I don't think scientists are necessarily assuming a single cause so much as that it's a moot point since we still haven't identified any causes for sure.

If some cases are caused by amyloid plaques and some aren't, for example, and we develop a treatment that cures the amyloid plaque cases but not the others, it will probably become extremely obvious that there are different causes at that point.
Why would we presume that without any evidence whatsoever?

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that - yes, a ton of great science has been done but there is also a considerable amount of time spent working around limitations, too, and some of those lead to less science being done over the life of the mission.

As a simple example, greater autonomy might allow the rovers to do more by avoiding the number of times where they have to wait for the speed of light (20 minute one-way latency plus annual blackouts) & bandwidth delays for someone at JPL to learn about an obstacle, decide what to do, send commands, and see what happens. They’ve spent a lot of time doing that cautiously because the failure mode of some outcomes is losing a rover, but there are other scenarios where the same is true in the other direction so I’m sure they’re keenly working on ways to make it better able to handle safety navigation and various recovery scenarios for things like losing communications, but I’d expect that might come in the form of a system which operates as they have but logs what it would have done so they can compare the human and robotic commands.

The point about stable systems, from a game-theory perspective, is that they are hard to change. Any change ends up being worse. That's why MAD has lasted so long and why I called it "stable". I think you agree with me on that.

I went too far in a counterfactual Ukraine war without MAD. If we had eliminated nuclear weapons, history would be so different that there's no way a similar Ukraine war would have happened. I agree with you about that.

But I don't think it's too controversial to say that MAD prevented one or more conventional wars.

Would a world without nukes be a safer world? Maybe. If nuclear weapons get used again and kill millions, then clearly it was a bad bet. But if we get to 2045--100 years after Hiroshima--without a nuclear exchange, then maybe MAD was the worst idea except for all the others.

> is an american child granted the right of free speech? or do you get that right at a certain age?

This isn't the right way to frame the question. The Constitution prohibits government actors from infringing upon the right to free speech[0], including that of children; meaning e.g. an attempt to censor a child's treatise on some subject would be as illegal as doing the same to an adult. It's not that you get a "free speech license" when you turn 18. The restrictions on government power applies whether or not the person being infringed upon is a minor or an adult.

[0]: This isn't an absolute, unqualified right. A child breaking into a profanity-laden tirade in the middle of class at a public (meaning taxpayer-funded and an extension of the government) school may believe they are exercising their First Amendment rights, but the school may still legally send that child home, for example, on the grounds that it disrupts the schooling of other children.
> Because it's weird enough to be off-putting, and it doesn't solve a real-world problem.

Nonsense. Quoth Wikipedia, "Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, conditionals, higher-order functions, recursion, the self-hosting compiler, and the read–eval–print loop." These are all solutions to real world problems.

So many languages borrow features that were originally developed in Lisp.

> However, this flexibility is also a massive footgun: if you're not careful your junior developer might end up reinventing the wheel a dozen times, and writing completely unmaintainable code in the process.

Plenty of code written in Lisp looks just like your Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java, et al programs where you're defining structures or classes, writing and calling functions, importing useful libraries, etc. Plenty of this Lisp code is just as maintainable as the non-S-expression code.

> Anyone who knows C# will be able to pick up a basic understanding of C, Python, or JavaScript well within a day

Same with Lisp. It's just:

(function arg1 arg2)

Instead of

function(arg1, arg2)

> You want code which is quick and easy to write, trivial to read, and understandable by even the worst programmer in your company.

There is plenty of "lowest common denominator" code like this written in Lisp. Much Lisp code is not buried under inscrutable macros, just like not all Java code is buried under layers of inscrutable classes.

As an amateur coder, this really matches my journey, though with a slightly different ordering: after the usual BASIC/Perl/Python homebase, a few years really expanding my mind in Haskell-land, followed by a "well, I've bounced off Lisp in the past, let's see what I make of it now", then having real joy in writing Clojure, exploring Guile and Scheme, and then coming finally to appreciate Common Lisp, warts and all.

I still "see the parentheses", and I wish there was a way (outside Coalton) to integrate the security that a strong typechecker can provide, but I really do enjoy working in the Lisp ecosystems now, and feel like I understand Lispers excitement at what they have.

Don't underestimate Perl's influence on Ruby and its community.

The Roborock vacuum experience is pretty good. We have a fearless cat and I've never felt it was unsafe around the vacuum. Generally it just works.

The only "issues" I've had to deal with are:
a) it'll eat cords so the cleaning area has to be picked up before vacuuming (or bad areas zoned off)
b) it can (rarely) get stuck so the cleaning area has to be picked up (ie. a step stool I left out)
c) it can (rarely) get lost if there are major changes to stuff in the cleaning area (ie. if a bunch of cardboard boxes are left out)
d) very rarely (less than once a year) I have to "restore" the map (I think if c happens it might start hallucinating new map area)

I don't know what the replacement part or customer service experiences are like though.
