My recent favorite is Amazon's "recyclable" packaging, but only if you bring it to one of their locations. I've seen other examples of the same thing, but this was the most recent. When you try to claim your packaging is recyclable but make the person jump through those kinds of hoops is not very conducive to having things recycled. It's one of the most obvious BS PR maneuvers
I disagree. Israel is self sufficient and has a much stronger economy than SA ever did. Israel also now has substantial oil reserves which makes sanctions difficult. Israels military is completely sufficient and would be able to oppress palestine just fine without international support. In my estimation the only thing sanctions would do is push Israel toward its final solution to the palestinian problem as they no longer see a downside to ending the issue once and for all.

Israel has nuclear weapons, its not possible to actually force them to do anything.
Charted: 20 Years of Apple vs. Microsoft, by Market Cap
“Operating system” is one of the categories of things the DMA applies to. The commission so far has only designated iOS (among Apple OSs), not iPadOS. The commission could arguably have viewed them as being variations of the same single OS, but it didn’t.

Why can't we do both? We talk about it a lot. Until now, we have not succeeded, but maybe we can pressure Hamas to let them go, and then eliminate Hamas in a future round of fighting?
EB1c is trivial because of the manager route but with many WITCH companies exploiting it, they might change things in the future.

Eb1a is the tough category they are talking about.
So creepy
I think you nailed it.

I have worked with Apple and know a couple people that work there. They would not be able to operate with the level of precision and scale to pull of a single OS across mobile and ipad. But it wouldn't be a totally different OS, it would be a branch.

There are two ways to get peace. One is for one side to completely dominate the other at massive cost, and with risk of blowback even after domination. The other is for cooler heads to prevail. Plenty of examples from history of both. And supposedly we had, as a modern world, decided that we prefer the latter path to peace over the former. Hence the United Nations, the Geneva Conventions, etc.
Spotify has no room to speak. Pay your artist, just as greedy.
This just isn't true. There are even (a few thousand) Jews living in Iran, and the Ayatollahs have come out in defence of Judaism proper.

The main problem for Jews in the region is the fact that the certain Israeli factions aggressively conflates Judaism with Israeli nationalism/Zionism, sacrificing the former to protect the latter. Above all else, that makes it dangerous to be Jewish outside Israel or one of its Western sponsors. And even inside. Because uninformed people, and actual antisemites, buy into that cynical framing.

I think they’ve improved since 2021, but back then when someone sent me a webex invitation I’d feel secondhand embarrassment for them. It was BY FAR the worst of the videoconferencing platforms despite having a huge head start.
What is your proposed alternative that you're alluding to? That seems oddly missing in your comment.
Utilities have zero risk of bankruptcy from dropping prices. People need the power and pay the cost of transmission.

The real problem they face is an inability to grow revenue with a cost+ model and dropping production costs.

They have to be as inefficient as possible to drive up costs further, but this opens the door for competition that isn't playing this game.

I think this decade will see many more municipalities getting into the game, and a huge regulatory fight as utilities try to stop them.

Actually the unsaid disclaimer is probably "the first time" or "when uncached" because AM loads the screens much faster the second time you click into them (still with the UI lag that I'm complaining about). I would actually say that Spotify screens take just as long to load, but the difference is that Spotify seems to implement a progressive load, so even the first time you click it feels faster - you can start interacting with the most important thing at the top straight away. With AM it delays then shows the whole screen.

This is my experience on a Mac anyway.

Modern PHP isn’t necessarily verbose. It’s only when the authors choose to go that route.
This only worked because enough was invested into the defeated countries for their populations to prosper. Case in point, after WW1, we got WW2.

The prospects Palestinians are faced with, as proven by the West Bank, are very bleak, making any peace very very unstable.

I apologize if this comes off rude. That is not my intention, rather directness is my goal.

Rhetorical questions are only rhetorical if they are based on correct premises and if the answers to those questions clearly and logically lead to the answer that the rhetorical questioner wishes to convey. Used correctly they are indeed a powerful rhetorical tool as they not only illustrate the concept vividly, but they also create an "aha!" moment in the listener. Used incorrectly, they can still be a useful tool despite the initial intention, as it allows the answerer to correct faulty premises or logic, and the questioner to receive updated knowledge that may change their supposition, so the questions can still fulfill a good purpose.

However, this does require that the questioner maintain sufficient humility and open mindedness as to benefit intellectually from the exchange. I would humbly suggest embracing a hearty dose of humility at all times and to re-examine your beliefs when faced with a contradictory reply, rather than doubling down and resisting the new information. It can truly be difficult to do as we humans have evolved to win arguments by any means, not solely through logic[1]. Nevertheless I believe it to be very worth it as the only full path to enlightenment is an unmitigated embrace of logic and truth, and a mental adaptation and change of position whenever it is warranted.

The merit of your questioning was good, so please don't feel as though you didn't add value to the conversation, because IMHO you did!

A newish trend is "soaking tubs", which are deeper than standard. Look into it if you're remodeling.
I agree with a lot of your comment, but what's wrong according to you with php.ini? I've always found it a really handy way to customise the behaviour of my php installs and apps, and I've actually learnt a fair bit from just reading through the comments and following the links it contains.
App stores and operating systems are different things under the DMA to which different rules apply. The commission view Apple’s App Store as a single app store, but iOS and iPadOS as different operating systems. The rules apply accordingly.
And the world decided we didn't want to have wars like that ever again, and gave the defeated countries a path to prosper. Sadly, Palestinians have no such path.
So, the state of the Linux Desktop ecosystem is just like it was when I abandoned it 20 years ago, but now with drop shadows.
It's because other gatekeepers have been fairly obedient regarding DMA or less impacted. At least no other gatekeepers tried to downplay the purpose of DMA itself to the level of Apple's.

In part. Air power was new at the time, and there was legitimate strategic ambiguity around the military value of removing war factories’ workforces. (This is why Germany and Britain bombed by night while America bombed by day.)
> In any case, the instant you fall just a little outside the prescribed lines is when things start to get hairy. Have a talk with any DACA recipient and you will quickly learn how broken the system can be.

DACA is an exception for people who were already in violation of the law, no? So even if that subsystem is inconsistent, unreliable, or totally nonfunctional, it wouldn't be a reason to say the system as a whole is broken.

> Or someone seeking refugee status around the time the annual ceiling is being reached.

Refugee status is meant to be a last resort for people who flee in fear for their lives. For people who legitimately need it, it's ok if the process is slow or unclear as long as it's safe (frankly, the process of granting refugee status should be slow and cautious; if the system allows economic migrants to gain an advantage by claiming a refugee status that they're not entitled to, that makes the whole system worse for everyone). The system would only be broken if legitimate refugees were getting sent back into places where their lives were in danger.
I'm an Arch fanboy, but after all these years Fedora is still what I install on machines that I need to use for real work. It's been consistently rock solid for me when it matters most.
Okay sorry about that. I agree that I was 100% veering into sneering. I didn't see the top comment. I'll stop commenting and won't comment like that on a future thread!
I used to think this.. and then 10 years went buy where I realised that I was making major contributions to the company that were benefitting them massively, and I was not buying their stock, even though I was directly responsible for their success. (regardless that I am not an executive or manager)

I later realised that it only made sense to invest in every company you work for.

I also was very disappointed that someone never gave me this advice, and instead I got the opposite advice that my actions don't matter. The same advice that you are trying to give now.

It was bad advice then, it is bad advice now, and it is the wrong advice for this audience.

The number one rule with investing is diversity.

It's not like you would invest your entire portfolio with your company, so why you think it's overly concerning to invest even a small amount with a company you are intimately familiar with is beyond me.
This appeal doesn't make sense to me. You want dang to remove a non offensive comment about Jewish treatment in Europe?
Not sure about other browsers, but Safari has them, and they've been doing the job for me for years as well.

My browser of choice is still Firefox and I'd love to use the full version on iOS (for its extensions and because I could sync my history and bookmarks to my computer), but privacy-wise I really can't complain about Safari.
Spotify doesn't have a monopoly on music streaming.
It’s not clear. Download of executable code is still prohibited, but “installation” and “execution” is not mentioned anymore in the new terms.
The real problem is describing a political disagreement as a "war". Just because someone doesn't think like you doesn't mean he's out there to get you.

The divide by sex is interesting, but I dont see the need to call it a war.
Because it's a normal outcome of war for territory to shift. It's especially justified if you try to invade another country and then lose spectacularly.
It still helps build synthetic data.
Hamas has quite a bit of leadership outside Gaza, and as far as I know, most of them are doing fine. They may even have more political capital than before the attacks. I’m not convinced they didn’t get away with it.

TLDR: Linux kernel doesn't have a stable binary kernel interface. And they don't want one.

What a coincidence that I'm reading your comment on the day I learned about the origin of 'culprit' https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/culprit

> From Anglo-Norman cul. prit, contraction of culpable: prest (d'averrer nostre bille) 'guilty: ready (to prove our case)', words used by prosecutor in opening a trial, mistaken in English for an address to the defendant.
> That's made almost impossible by the bigger players in the SoC world like Qualcomm and Samsung. They created a multi level oligopoly which can only be challenged with nation state support (like Mediatek and Huawei did).

Which is why we need new chips to replace qualcomm/samsung/mediatek entirely in open devices. It's kind of crazy that nobody is willing to even attempt it. I'd gladly take the inevitable massive hit to performance if it meant fully open, documented, and auditable devices.
Like, aggressive to the point of being nuclear? Because if not, I'm not sure how you expect it to remove a lot of the chemicals mentioned...
Yea, it was their entire bookkeeping system. Obviously nobody else has ever had so complex a bookkeeping situation as The Post Office, so they had to get it custom built. I bet Fujitsu made a mint.
I don't think so. It's only Apple who is blatantly trying to circumvent it. All other gatekeepers already have implemented necessary changes in a pretty conservative, obvious way.
French person here, I have no idea what "voir dire" means. It's literally "see say".
Because Meta’s support system is entirely run by automation. By bots. There’s no human. No one knew, no one noticed, no one cared.
Carter's approach tells us what he would think. Carter was willing to give the Israelis and the Egyptians massive amounts of aid, conditioned on peace. That is very different than offering one side unconditional support despite that side allowing extremists to formulate and shape plans.

Seems like the same thing, basically. So this means they can use the money but don't have to tax it yet.

No. Decelerators and deals that pay $0 are demotivating and unnecessary. You can achieve the same net effect by properly setting OTE and quota without the demotivation.

Sure. A trade can be decomposed into entry and exit criteria.

Only trade when you have an edge, i.e your model suggests that there is a higher probability of an outcome in your favor rather than a pure coin toss - either in entry or in exit.

Even coin toss entries can make money if you have an edge in exits and vice versa.

All in all, you can be right less than 50% of the time per trade, and still have alpha if your winning trade is 2 times your losing trade. Standard expected value stuff. Heck, I know traders who bat 30 or 35% and make colossal amounts of dollars.
Agree - the title has been editorialised, which is against the HN rules.
An issue, and maybe you can speak to this from experience, is the dread of Enterprise Software.

The notebook has to support recording any kind of information, be accessible anywhere, even on tiny laptop screens, and otherwise stay out of the way. It should involve little or no manual data transfer. It should probably work harmoniously with git. For some of us, investing brain cells in the use of proprietary software might be a negative.

For my work, Jupyter notebooks are the best solution I've found. A wet chemist might have a different opinion.
You’re right, it isn’t Israel’s responsibility to power Gaza. But then why does Israel restrict and control Gaza’s import of fuel for their only power plant?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t claim Israel is providing humanitarian aid while it is also restricting their ability to find solutions that no longer require their aid.
Doesn't matter how much people who want peace invest when terrorists who want to continue fighting are in charge. There is no "modern, prosperous, stable Palestinian society" when terrorists are in charge.

They have had better options... and still choose the path they are on.
I was immediately reminded of this too.

I'm wondering now, does the same effect apply to regular HN readers? In the sense that, we're contaminated (for lack of a better word), and are unable to see things out there without having equivalent connections pop into our heads! :)
I worked in tech sales (sales engineering) for quite a while, both as an individual contributor and as a manager. It isn't unusual for plans to be way more complicated than what is described in the article, and for sales reps (and managers) to not really understand their comp plan. It is also common for them to shoot themselves in the foot by structuring a deal in such a way that they lose a lot of money because they didn't take the time to understand the comp plan. It is also true that they don't take the time to understand the plan because they think it will change every year (it probably will) and that every change is designed to screw them out of commission dollars (probably also true.)

Also, the comp plan described in this article is absolutely terrible. Reps on 60/40 quotas. Having the sales VPs more levered than the reps. Not having a linear base commission rate to 100% of plan (you make sure you get to the company revenue goal by a) setting a realistic goal and b) incentivizing the reps to get past 100% of plan, not by penalizing them until they hit plan.
We could have fewer meetings if we embraced and used collaborative tools.

The study doesn't go into how these plastics are harmful to your health. I doubt something like plastic in your clothing would harmful since it's not necessarily being absorbed through your skin. The most harm is likely in plastic containers that hold liquids or food which tend to be the primary source of microplastic ingestion. The article also mentions that this isn't exclusive to recycled plastic, since making virgin plastic requires tons of chemicals itself.
