Your parent was only ever talking about the state of Israel, they never mentioned the Jewish religion nor the Jewish ethnicity. They only mentioned a plausible intent which is as been ruled by the world’s highest court as plausible.

If you want to deem your parent an anti-semite, then you’ll have to deem pretty much everybody outside of Israel and even many people inside Israel (including the ad-hoc Israeli judge that ruled against Israel at the ICJ).

As a survivor of a volcanic eruption in Grindavík, with the future live of my home town uncertain, and my family turned refugees, I can sympathize with people that have to live in fear of a terrorist bomb hitting their home and have to occasionally flee to bomb shelter. But that is not what your parent was talking about, was it.

Me and my family don’t know half of what the people in Gaza are going through. Heck, me and my family don’t know 2^-10 of what is going on in Gaza. And if you have had to run to bomb shelters a couple of dozens of times, it still does not come even close to 2^-10 of the horrors the people of Gaza have to go through, as they are very plausibly living though being victims of a genocide.

Yes, true. However- to paraphrase a red team operations book I read, if the user can be tricked into into compromising your security with a click, then you can't blame the user. An organization's defensive security strategy should not hinge on a single user's decision to click or not.

My absolute guess is it comes from the Digital Chart Supplement data published here[1]. Notably this supplement does not contain things like airspace boundaries, airways, obstructions, and so on which would be required to produce a useful sectional chart. This is more like the kind of data that you'd use to print your own Airport Facility Directory.

No, even with all that you mention, it's still fairly difficult to make an actually good website, regardless of the amount of AI you throw at it. In contrast, the marketing side is still within how it was before, simply because devs know nothing about marketing, generally speaking.
Classic spinal tap. “These go to eleven.”
Or refuse to give them a phone number. I lost access to two accounts where they now demand it.

Not really. Quest is early adopter stuff and it's $300-500, about a tenth of the price. Steamdeck, Raspberry Pi, these are early adopter hardware and they're all sub-$500. I've been buying enthusiast hardware since the '80s and, no, $3500 is not the price of admission. I can't think of a single piece of enthusiast gear I've ever run across in computers or electronic music, that was that expensive unless it was a collectors item, one of a kind, or some other factor which absolutely does not apply to the Vision Pro which Apple markets as having mainstream appeal (see the commercials if you want to know how Apple is positioning this thing, and it's without a doubt not enthusiast or early adopters.) Are you sucking up to Apple here because you like Apple or because you like VR, or is there some other reason?
This looks a lot better than I expected.

One thing that bugs me about this (and Tailwind) is the number of dependencies they pull in. Panda has 152 nodes (239, if you count their dev-dependencies)[0].

Tailwind has 98 (594 if you count their dev-dependencies).

I know they're only dev-dependencies, but still... I've got all of that code running on my machine, just to process CSS. I really don't love it.

Awesome. I'll have to check it out--wonder if the raw data is freely available and the format is documented. You can tell my knowledge of the state of the art is 15 years old.
I'm not surprised ChatGPT can answer it - I'm not sure why, but _Rainbows End_ is one of the most commonly-asked about SF books like that. Everyone remembers the book-tornado doing shotgun sequencing, but they can never remember its name or anything else that happens. I guess that's the problem with having a technology whose mental image is so compelling but also mostly disconnected to the rest of the book. (I know I can't tell you much about the rest without rereading the WP entry.)

For futureproofing, we should extend the scale to cover hypercanes [1], which (according to Wikipedia):

- require ocean temperatures of 120 °F (50 °C)

- have sustained winds of 500 mph (800 km/h)

- have barometric pressures in their centers sufficiently low enough to cause altitude sickness

- may persist for several weeks due to above low pressure

- may be as large as North America or as small as 15 mi (25 km) — Wikipedia has an unhelpful caption about the size of the "average hypercane" (!)

- extend into the upper stratosphere, unlike today's hurricanes (lower stratosphere)

- due to above height, may sufficiently degrade the ozone layer with water vapor to the point of causing (an additional) hazard to planetary life

As of today, both a hypercane and a regular, run-of-the-mill catastrophic hurricane would be rated a Category 5. But I suppose hurricane categorization and nomenclature would be the least of NOAA's problems in such an event.

Panda seems really nice. As someone who does a lot of "creative" CSS work, writing styles quickly is important to me. I find writing styles as Javascript objects kinda cumbersome. I wish there was a way to use Imba's CSS system within a React or other Javascript app. https://imba.io/docs/css/syntax

Imba allows you to write CSS anywhere in a component definition using CSS-like syntax (rather than Javascript object syntax).

The syntax for adding a quick inline style is so simple:

<div [width:20px]>

You can even do hover states in an inline style:

<div [color:red @hover:blue]>

And interpolation is easy too:

<div [width:{someValue}px]>

Putting a CSS block at any level of your tag hierarchy scopes it to that tag.

<div.foo>
<div.bar>
css color:red # this applies to div.bar
em color:blue # this applies to div.bar em

"hello"
<em> "world"

CSS blocks declared in a component definition but outside of the markup, apply to the whole tag. CSS declared in a file, outside of a component definition, apply to all components defined in that file. There is also a global keyword to apply styles globally.

and there's a whole range of other useful features, a favorite of mind is the shorthand syntax for things like this:

c:red # same as color:red
d:vtc # same as display:flex flex-direction:column justify-content:center
x:10px rotate:30deg # same as transform:translateX(10px), rotate(30deg)
Getting the government involved in this is the only worse idea than delegating to 4 major corporations. It should be delegated more broadly and users should have more options not less.

It does depend on the definition of "music". A constant tone of infinite duration might not be considered music to all. In my opinion (just rendered now), music must have 20 BPM < tempo < 1000 BPM.

Before this new wave of SMS trash, we just had TOTP codes that 1password could auto fill for me on any device in any location. Now i need to pull out my phone constantly and pay for international roaming or setup SMS forwarding to travel even if I don't need the number. Yay security!

If the argument is that phone number can always be recovered from real world identity, link the damn authenticator app to SMS instead of having to hand out your phone number to every company in the world.
Ask HN: Advice for a Software Generalist / Wannabe Solo Founder
Hello HN!

I've been in the field for 10 years now, and I've worked at many different companies. One FAANG, a few startups, one small mom-and-pop based in Idaho, and some local companies where I'm at now. Every time I work for a new company, I get to the point where things end up being the same as previous jobs. I love software, and I love building software, but I've never felt like I had a direction or purpose in this field. It's all felt like just bouncing around from one job to the next.

I've had research interests, but I don't ever get to follow them due to work pressures. I think that I'd enjoy a PHD program, but I don't feel like I can sacrifice 4-5 years of industry income with small children.

I've always felt a pull toward entrepreneurship, and I've built a few products over the years, but none have panned out. I would love to build something to support my young family but I don't know what to build, nor how to validate the ideas. I can ideate, but I usually get stuck in the minutiae of how to get customers, build landing pages, or do other business-related things. I'm an engineer by training, so all the business stuff overwhelms me.

Finally, as I said earlier, I love software engineering. I love development and building things. The thrill of finally implementing a difficult feature, or figuring out a nasty bug is indescribable. But, it's getting harder to find opportunities at this point in my career that are challenging. I think it's because I'm a generalist, and the challenging things come with deep expertise in one singular stack. I know I'd be good in these challenging roles, but I'm barred from them because I'm not deep with that particular tech stack.

So, any advice? What route should I take? I think I'm leaning towards either doubling down on my career and trying to build up to challenging roles, or entrepreneurship. With entrepreneurship, I feel like I could create my own challening role, which is very alluring, but I've never gotten that far.
It is a really hard problem to survive. The only somewhat successful, so far, long term strategy I know of is the one we see in nature, diversity. Healthy ecosystems are always diverse. Diversity helps absorb shocks and exploit nitches that enable growth. But here is the kicker, diversity is helpful in every system to keep it alive, including the diversity of arguments we use in educating people. By focusing on just one argument we are making a mistake. I'm not saying we throw out temp targets and discussing them, but we need more valid discussions to increase the diversity of the discussion so that it survives and thrives.

personally I carry a second efb (eg. my phone) and spare power banks rather than try to deal with a mess of paper charts. it's certainly cheaper than trying to keep my sectionals up to date (which, now that I think about it, I don't think I've actually bought since I took my private checkride).
In the year 2050, society decides that heating your home and your water is wasteful and shouldn’t be permitted, you are no longer allowed electricity for such things, after all you can put on a sweater and use a solar panel on your roof for hot water.

I don’t agree that we need any more crypto mining operations, but at what point and whose control does the availability of electricity to a person get determined ?

If you’re payin, why is it not allowed? I guess the alternative is just fire up a diesel generator for this crypto mining operation.. then everyone loses? Why stop there, how about a diesel genset that runs used oil or preheated bunker fuel? Heck why not coal?
"As much as such prices might set a gold digger's heart racing, they are not usually what motivates book collectors, whose relationship to their objects of desire is varied and complex. At a Boston fair in October, I heard a dealer with an impressive selection of dust jacket art say, "Don't judge a book by its content." However tongue-in-cheek, this twisted aphorism exposes the curious fact that many collectors don't actually read their books." https://gwern.net/doc/psychology/collecting/2008-01-18-aliso...

> Basically know the basic math rules

I was raised in the Southeast, USA. That's a big ask of us and our education system.

In my state, we have a few state administered tests that are taking throughout one's primary schooling years. Student take these exams at periodic intervals. For example, there is one for reading comprehension and assessment taken, iirc, at grade 3, 6, and 9 or something like that.

Well, 60% of students in my state right now who took the 3rd grade reading comprehension assessment have failed to demonstrate the ability to read at a 3rd grade level.

I have a hard time accepting these test [ACT/SAT] as some kind of arbiter or one's future when the education system is failing many students long before he or she ever gets to take the SAT/ACT.

> even though no food prep is started until you arrive

This is my biggest pet peeve about both the McDonalds and Chic Fil A apps. I have about a 3 minute drive to both restaurants and hate that I can’t just order on the app and have the order ready by the time I get there. I honestly have no idea what the point of a mobile order is if I have to wait 10 minutes in the curbside pickup spots after arriving when I could have gone through the drive through just as fast.
They won't pay for it
Forgive me, I'm just totally ignorant here. In order to sequence your own genome and do something like 23andme, I kinda just guessed that you'd need some kind of existing corpus and database to derive meaning from the results.

Is that true? And if so, is it all open source or free?

It's something that's kind of interesting to me. I really enjoyed biotech and chemistry in HS but ended up going in a different direction. If this is something that you can just get into now as a hobby maybe I'll jump down the rabbithole

Also 7.18 makes the bool macros explicitly 1 and 0.
They could and it could be similar to emergency / fallback access in password managers. Send an SMS to the number (aka current SIM) before approving changes and force the person requesting the change to wait for X hours or days if there's no response to the SMS asking for authorization.

That's what the providers around me do, but I think it's because one of them got sued a while back and we only have about 3 providers pretending to be 10 different companies (aka fake competition).
With the right legal language, I think they would.
"Some people reportedly booked tickets years in advance to experience Monday's chord change"

Clearly they're attention seekers—their rustling about in seats or asleep and snoring from boredom would be far more entertaining than the actual performance.

One has to wonder what kind of people are drawn to a musical event where if it were compared with say Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue BWV 582 then the latter's performance would be seen as a prestissimo running at relativistic speeds. Perhaps social scientists have insights into such strange behavior.

Of course, it's those who've booked tickets who are the center of attention here, such antics have always been expected of Cage.

The Dead Internet Theory is becoming truer by the day it seems.

If you never move internationally, travel abroad, are outside cell coverage, and don't value security too highly, it sure is.
In a way, a virus is not too far off from a complex prion. Simple single cell organisms aren't too far off from complex viruses.

There's a line of thought that metabolism is the defining feature of biological life, and viruses do not have any metabolic activity of their own. This is essentially the only real distinguishing characteristic that holds true between viruses and organisms.

Once a virus has a host cell, however, it uses metabolic events to do its thing. That use of those events to drive its own reproduction is very life-like, and is very unlike a prion. In terms of behavior, it really is more like life than not. It uses metabolism, even if it doesn't innately perform glycolysis like everything else.

The "are viruses alive" is really more a medical philosophy question than a practical one.

I can sympathize with you. The same thing happened to me at https://getskip.com. That company exists because of me and shortly after I finished all the backend Elixir work, they reneged on most of our agreements and then fired me shortly after that. Then, five years later, they sold the company and stole the equity I had earned during my time there.
For a lot of companies they choose sms for no other reason than it really limits spam and cuts down on fake accounts. People are conditioned to for the most part to be free with their phone number. Making it pretty much the only identifier that cant be easily and without cost or human effort changed(its not too hard and often normal to block voip numbers) Sure you can say well then also require some other form of authentication. these companies are trying to make money and go to a lot of effort to reduce even the slightest friction to new customers. Besides once they have sms and 98% are happy with that why put more work in?
The real problem though is what other choice do they have? Yes you and i would put the effort in to both secure and properly manage better systems but when the vast majority would quickly forget or loose any other method. They have to make a system that is "secure" for them anyway, why implement other systems(yes i know you and i think it would be worth it for us but maybe the bean counters dont).

Its completely understandable that the average person THINKS that sms is secure, everyone depends on their phones, uses it for very personal, private and sensitive business calls. even without tech companies using it for auth it would be exploited, just not as much.
Unfortunately it would just take an incredible amount of cooperation, expense and growing pains to properly secure the telecom network. They are extremely interconnected legacy systems that are designed with the assumption there is no security besides trust.
that being said they could improve things a whole lot more if they were able to verify their customers better on support calls or at least had higher security options you could enroll in. So they didnt put people who cared about security with the ones who cant even keep track of their own account numbers.

Personally without governments coming together to implement a digital "secure" citizen identification system (also very scary) probably the best we can hope for and i think google now allows is after its verified by phone remove it as a authentication and recovery option and setup multiple hardware security keys/passkeys. ya people will still be idiots and use sms even when there are better options but at least some of us can be secure.
