>the issue of anti-Semitism long pre-dates the establishment of Israel

From your second source that seems to not be the case, at least not in serious degree. "Traditionally, Jews in the Muslim world were considered to be People of the Book and were subjected to dhimmi status. They were afforded relative security against persecution, provided they did not contest the varying inferior social and legal status imposed on them under Islamic rule. While there were antisemitic incidents before the 20th century, during this time antisemitism in the Arab world increased greatly." And later, "The situation of Jews was comparatively better than their European counterparts, though they still suffered persecution." There is more detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_under_Musl...

Anecdotally, I've heard that before the establishment of Israel, relations between the two groups were much less hostile. Muslims and Jews would, for example, have their Jewish or Muslim neighbors watch over their kids during holy days when they'd have to go to mosque/temple. There is also a long history of Jews being treated fairly well in the Arab/Muslim world - better indeed than they were in Christian lands where pogroms were much more common (it's astonishing how many times Germany, in a state of high fervor, decided that the most appropriate thing to do would be to massacre the Jews again). Again, anecdotally, the "depth of hatred against Jews" in the Arabs I've spoken with has little to do with Jews and much to do with the actions of the state of Israel and what it does in the name of Jews.

There are billions of Meta users. If even 0.005% ever challenges Meta, that’s too much to handle for the company. So they’ll just enact better policies.

I lost my Instagram account because I was on a VPN while browsing Instagram website. Nothing malicious. Just a normal user. This is good news for users because they build up years of history and connections on these apps.
I love Firefox and would buy my first Apple phone if I could use it with plugins. Chomium without ublock on mobile isn't appetizing. Give me a choice!
...Except the core problem is we've let legal language elevate itself in such a way as to become doublespeak.

If you saying ”we should form a cartel with our competitors" somehow magically maps to a different sense than the form that'd be illegal, you've turned it into nonsense.

Not to mention that I could say "Boop bop bleep zorp skippidy do da", and if every time I do, me and the chums go off and form a cartel; then it doesn't matter the words I'm using to describe it, it matters what I'm doing.

If you can't put it in writing for fear of eDiscovery; you probably shouldn't be doing it.

I think that's what the parent is saying. Are the site's users unpaid labor? That was a thing corporations tried to do when back when urban dictionary was starting, but in today's climate working for a corporation for free doesn't have the cachet it used to.
I was daydreaming (just a really dumb daydream) about a 'universial language' that would include all the words from every known language, just few minutes ago before I discovered this on HN. haha.

I think it's really neat since there are thousands of foreign words that cannot be translated into English or Korean (Languages I speak), and it takes a quite of time just to really understand what those words mean.
It also included the release of the thousands of terrorists that were captured in Israeli borders in oct 7th. People with actual blood on their hands, and a guarantee for hamas to stay in power.

Moreover, Israel offered hamas a ceasefire if they release all the hostages and exile their top 6 leaders. That offer was rejected by hamas.

So please don’t present such a one sided view
I don’t live in Gaza, nor do any of the Palestinians that I’ve known. I don’t think it’s fair to assume that the opinion sample is going to be representative for many reasons.

An interesting current data point for me is that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support the actions of Hamas on October 7th specifically. If someone “just wants freedom” but doesn’t support the slaughter and kidnap of innocent Israeli citizens, they would actually be in the minority — so I don’t think your characterization is broadly correct. This isn’t even considering other historical events and opportunities for independent statehood.
No big banner, but a EULA on first boot that explains the limitations and an option to return the device if you don’t agree.

No language on what the developer agreements terms are, because the E and the U in EULA stand for “End User”, so presumably it’s not deemed relevant to the end user.

Ah, the other color schemes look really good (especially I like the heatmap one). However, the default stoplight one is nearly impossible for me to disambiguate. For example, in [1], I can't tell which of mine are closer at all (I don't think I am colorblind, but maybe I'm just in for a surprise today).

Anyway, overall, a very fun variant. Thanks for sharing!

They're bad faith, loaded questions. Be honest, you didn't ask them to learn something, you asked them because you think they're "Gotcha!" questions.

Your responses to answers make this painfully obvious.

If you want to make a point, then just make it. Don't hide behind a bullshit claim that you're just asking questions and then cry about downvotes.
>ISIS was a bunch of European guys who got radicalized and then travelled to the middle east

>there were thousands of Europeans in ISIS' ranks, along with fighters from many other nationalities

Why did you start off with such strong statements but then retreat to this one after you're challenged? Is ISIS a bunch of European guys or not?
They still have backlash, but less so, it all depends on the masses of the gantry and the head and the speeds at which it moves. Whether it's a magnetic field or a belt doesn't matter that much, in principle there is some elasticity in the system and the height of the head above the gantry rails is a big factor in how much slop there is.

In practice you'll cut at speeds low enough that these things aren't an immediate issue, though when you start to cut cardboard or paper at near maximum speeds there likely will be some artifacts.

I will try to find the limits of the machine to see at what speeds these issues become apparent. Given the flimsy construction I'm amazed at how well it does, to be honest I had not expected it to be as immediately usable as it is.

Cutting 18 mm plywood with a < 0.5 mm kerf and < 0.1 mm repeat accuracy - especially compared to all of the other tools I have access to - is incredibly precise. In metal it wouldn't be all that impressive, but that's not what this thing is intended to do.

Anyway, the article wasn't intended as a treatment on CNC accuracy issues, there are many more that the GP hasn't touched on (such as: positioning errors due to temperature variation, which with aluminum frames can be considerable, and frames being out-of-true).

It's a dancing pig: it dances, that's the amazing thing, how it holds up compared to industrial machines that cost 400x as much isn't all that relevant.

I care very much about ebooks and readability.

One stunning failure of current ePub technology is the lack of publication-quality justification and microtypography.

Currently, PDF authors are overloading "Tagged PDF" annotations, which were initially designed for accessibility features such as high contrast, large text, or screen reader (text-to-speech) document flow. It's not a general solution to reflowable PDF output, but it's better than nothing, perhaps.

Adobe realizes that such additional markup does nothing for the vast universe of existing PDFs. They have trained an AI model to infer document structure and create the tags on the fly; the marketing term for this is called "Liquid Mode" in recent versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I'd like to see a reflow engine in TeX, and there are some good implementations

I can tell you that the courts in the EU mainly care about the letter of the law.

Less SCOTUS-esque rollercoaster rides about intent and historical tradition, more plaintext reading of the law.

You're reading the term too literally. USCIS has set the terms for what it means and the same USCIS has determined that op meets the criteria regardless of what you think it should mean.
> The design envisaged by these people is exactly why no one person or small group of people really deserve to be put on such a high pedestal.

You have missed the point. The things we take for granted today started small and evolved from there; we have merely added a lot of superstructure to the underlying bedrock foundations envisaged by these select pioneers. All the application layer protocols and technologies utilizing them can be replaced as the fad changes (eg. distributed Objects vs. distributed web) but these core concepts/ideas/technologies will always remain and hence needs to be acknowledged. The situation is analogous to the building of great Architectural Marvels; even though a lot of folks with different skill sets are actually responsible for the manifestation, it is usually the "Architect(s)" who are credited with the achievement because it is the keeping of the holistic design together through its evolution is what is actually the key.
In principle they do, as do servos, you'll find neither on machines like this. An industrial servo + driver (a single one) costs more than this whole rig.

I've designed CNC gear for a living and I'm aware of the way things are done in industry. I think this low cost approach opens up an entirely now domain and if you're making boxes, wooden toys and decorative pieces the accuracy requirements are much less critical than they would be if you were to make parts for aerospace or such, but nobody is going to attempt to do that using a rig like this.

The number of hobbyist diode laser machines that come with zero enclosure or air extraction is mind boggling. It then leads people to assume that stuff is optional. It’s not.
Back when my sole internet experience was playing (losing) every match on Chess.com as a "volunteer librarian", I'd often inject awkwardly escaped characters, closing tags, common quirky control strings, and even OLE objects into the live Chess.com games.

Eric (founder) had politely asked me for a more formal audit (to which I declined, not wanting to out myself as an 11 year old script kiddie) but I did explain the RegExp needed for the chat room censor and we tackled the ultimate problem; how to detect cheaters in asynchronous environments.

After consideration I informed him the only way to possibly detect cheaters is to compare every (game-significant/high-mu) move made against the known optimal moves from engines, and use statistical inference to discriminate good humans from cheaters.

Of course, at the time, this was laughably unfeasible - which was the answer we had concluded on. But for a barely out of elementary kid to discuss those kinda nuances with a legit webmaster (Hello Eric!), it is one of my more favorable internet memories.
That’s assuming Meta has support teams. I’ve yet to see evidence of that. I once had to solve a Facebook business page issue that went unanswered for a year, and the only way I got it moving was to send a legal threat to Meta on a lawyer’s letterhead. Ended up solving the problem with a couple weeks.
That's a material I had not thought of yet, I did try some others with unusable results, which I will document when I have a bit more time.

In theory that would be one of the strengths of the federal system in the United States. In practice, unfortunately, most laws are homogenized and nationalized instead of letting states differ significantly.

There are some major differences, don't get me wrong, but that seems to be trending towards more central control over at least the last 120 years.
> And it's not like phone owners were not paying more than multiple times the real cost of their devices to Apple

Isn't Apple's gross margin closer to 45%?

I would also suggest that the "real cost" isn't just component and manufacturing cost, and should include amortized R&D, etc.
Sounds like Meta. I once had to solve a Facebook business page issue (another erroneous automated decision) that went unanswered for a year, and the only way I got it moving was to send a legal threat to Meta on a lawyer’s letterhead. Ended up solving the problem within a couple weeks.
The Palestine/Israel conflict is significantly longer than any of the examples you gave.

Which is not to say that its impossible. But the older I get, the less hope I have.
The point is that you can reduced costs for some things via COTS, and if COTS stuff can handle the rough environment, there's also the possibility of reducing costs by further ruggedizing those parts.

Of course the mission critical stuff will still have to all be the usual expensive purpose built stuff, but like with Perseverance, some scientific instruments can use COTS computing hardware (IIRC one of the instruments on Perseverance has two Intel Atom SBCs, which were used to compress the landing footage before sending it back to Earth) and can have stuff like a bunch of non-essential but nice to have cameras, microphones and other sensors.

Since they were cheap and non-essential, it's no big deal to add them, no big deal if they don't work, but if they happen to work you get great PR and data, like proper video of a spacecraft autonomously landing from a rocket powered crane on another planet). Same with prototyping ideas. Maybe the success of Ingenuity will encourage the inclusion of other similar "pie in the sky", extremely low cost experimental components.
Yep. I’m completely over the utter hubris of these computer nerds that have deluded themselves into thinking that this time it’ll be different, that this is the entrypoint to their techno-utopia, instead of looking at the reality of what this is going to mean for users, including them.

I like that I can use Firefox on my Mac, and that I only very rarely come across something that doesn’t work and DOES in Chrome. I’m aware of the reality that Mobile Safari is the biggest thing standing in the way of Google just doing whatever they want with web “standards”, regardless what bureaucracy fetishists say about there being “other members” in standards bodies. I see the prospect of Blink (or whatever it’s called now) on iOS as a threat to the browser ecosystem. And as a web developer I’m just flat-out tired by the mere thought of having to go through another IE.

But hey, I’m glad that we are getting all this to briefly allow some freedom-loving nerds to play make-believe and enjoy a couple of years of Firefox on their devices before they start seeing sites break.
It’s weird that an employee who opts out of noise specifically for productive work gets this treatment.

Some of the most incredible programmers I’ve had the pleasure of working with were just like this, and I felt like it was my job as their boss to help them keep it that way.

There’s a bias for visibility and not actual work that I think makes it really difficult for those on the spectrum or who have adhd or just difficulty refocusing after getting interrupted have to deal with that doesn’t get a lot of support in the modern workplace. To boot, this culture drives type-a, need to talk face-to-face, achievement focused personalities absolutely crazy.

I can’t tell you have many times I’ve had to say no to some over controlling stakeholder who “needs in person morning status updates” every day. It absolutely killed our code velocity when we tried it and the late night crew thought they were hitler.

> Latin substrate in the territory of modern France was so strong that it gradually took over the Germanic ruling class over centuries

Good place to point out that those Germanic speakers had a major impact on French, and to this day it is by far the most heavily influenced by Germanic, of all the languages descended from Latin.

For example: attaquer (attack). craquer (crack), affreux (fright), hautesse (height), saisir (seize), taper (tap), trier (tear). (I've given English cognates in parentheses, not translations -- "taper" means more like "to slap".)

In fact, Germanic borrowings are around 10 - 20% of French vocabulary.

Some words in English have actually cycled between the Germanic and Romance branches multiple times because of this. For example, Old French had a verb, something like "warder". Probably borrowed from Frankish. English borrowed "warden" from Norman French. Later, sound change in French shifted /w/ to a /gw/ sound, so warder -> guarder. English borrowed the word again, giving us "guardian". In this particular case, English also kept the original fully Germanic form - "warder" (noun).
> Huh? Are you suggesting that OP is a net negative to US experience?

This is what you are suggesting.

Further, "net negative" means nothing when talking about O-1 visa, which is quite literally a game to get very impactful people into the US. Being "net positive" is not enough.

> Maybe he didn't get that yea through a black letter reading of the law, so what? The visa-issuers think it is fine. The outcome is good. So in this case the system could be said to be working.

Investigators can make redeterminations. That is why a bunch of people do get booted out of these visa programs, and should. You do not stop being judged upon receiving a visa. A system that rubber stamps "yes" to a problem in 100% of cases where 99% is cost efficient, but it is not a system that works. That system needs to account for bad data, and should issue "no" when it matters.
That was a good explanation. Indeed, perhaps not seeing the forest from the trees when looking from the consumer side. As for the practical advice, I'd perhaps add diversification so that you can move to another segment, non-game if needs be, temporarily.
