Because it's transparent and obvious that US gets to use their muscle to have it both ways and profit off of the conflict. It is hard to believe that the aid expenditure will exceed the profit from weapons sales.
I disagree, I think this was a well researched and thorough accounting of a concerning trend.

Well ok that is good at least the commanders share my risk assessment. I don't think criminals will try to steal rifles from the guardsmen. The officers might wield pistols too.
I don't think it is any more a black box than JavaScript and the DOM, it just happens that most people don't take the effort to learn it that they spend on the other stuff, and unless those people are super geniuses I'm sure there are still parts to the technologies they have bothered to learn that surprise them or they are unsure about and would have to check from time to time.

Yes 100% agree, microdose has a specific meaning in the literature, that it is below active threshold. Please stop overloading this term to mean "I didn't take a very high active dose of a drug". You'll never microdose and have any apparent classical effects. At best you've have a quasi might have/mightn't have effects that can't specifically be pinned to the drug ingestion.

Oh, these memories:). This game, along with old DOS Arcade Volleyball inspired me to create a clone using GameMaker. I think it was the first game I created when I was in high school:).
I've known people who have decided to not be a third co-founder because of situations like the other two being brothers. The simple reality is that that no matter how professional people try to be, and how high the bar is, that someone is always going to be the third wheel in a situation like that.

Also, in this case the OP mentions that they are already making decisions without him. If you've had a co-founder for years, there is no world in which it's OK to make decisions without them with someone you met 1 month ago.

You don't even need to factor in the personal relationship for this to be sketchy.
It's effectively impossible to invade a country that has nuclear weapons. There might be small scale border skirmishes, but large scale organized invasions are essentially a nonstarter. The main purpose of conventional weaponry, for nuclear nations, is to invade non-nuclear nations, or to engage in proxy skirmishes to try to expand one's geopolitical power.

We're rapidly approaching a century with 0 major and unrestrained wars between two nuclear powers. That's completely unprecedented in the entirety of our history, and it's not a coincidence.
I stripped mine for parts. There's lots of great stuff inside of printers!
> There is a reason that they are probing a US company - the European continent isn't capable of producing a smartphone that people want.

Nokia phones were quite popular before iPhone. They got gutted by an American company (Microsoft, if you forgot).
If Russia starts nuclear exchanges yes they will be solely responsible. They are being aggressor.

Also, they signaled wish to expand beyond Ukraine multiple times last year.
From a purely realpolitik standpoint, this war is going very well for the US. Russia is bogged down in a stalemate, with 100,000 soldiers dead already. (vs 10,000 over 10 years in Afghanistan). They've destroyed the idea that Russia is the second-strongest army in the world. NATO is now stronger and larger than ever, and haven't taken a single casualty.

My heart goes out to the Ukrainians, who are fighting determinedly not to be liquidated by Putin's mafia state. But the Dick Cheneys of the world couldn't be happier that Putin decided to invade.
Awesome name. Reminds me of the "original" "Pile" from the Manhattan Project.

It does explain why I have seen more indian recruitment in EU from India and China since our backlog or naturalization process is only 5 years of living in the country and then 1-3 years for the bureaucracy to manage the application.
There's a clear UX problem here. If you submit a scan it doesn't tell you it is public.

There can be a helpful fix: make clear that the scan is public! When submitting a scan it isn't clear, as the article shows. But you have the opportunity to also tell the user that it is public during the scan, which takes time. You also have the opportunity to tell them AFTER the scan is done. There should be a clear button to delist.

urlscan.io does a bit better but the language is not quite clear that it means the scan is visible to the public. And the colors just blend in. If something isn't catching to your eye, it might as well be treated as invisible. If there is a way to easily misinterpret language, it will always be misinterpreted. if you have to scroll to find something, it'll never be found.
Modern "anti racism" is the puritan moral cycle reaching apex. alt culture becomes the norm and rejects alt beliefs, alt culture becomes the norm and rejects alt beliefs - and so on.

Free thinking, intellectualism, basics of honesty and truth become only suggestions when moral feelings are involved.

Puritanism is defined by its reactionary and emotionally manipulative position. It has a focus on punishment that perpetuates the cycle. It's drama, it makes people feel good that they "punished" others because it gives them egotistical power.

It is also why this phenomenon is so widely gripping the U.S. and not elsewhere.
No, I'm responding to your last sentence.
I'll rephrase. What rate do you expect in city fights against the enemy mixed with civilians and actively using them as human shields, assuming that the attacking side makes reasonable effort to minimize civilian casualties.

> intent to minimize civilian casualties

Intent is very hard to argue about. Especially when talking about proportionality which is not rigorously defined. Numbers are easier to argue about. It is reasonable to expect that civilian casualty rate will be higher in cases where there is no intent to minimize civilian casualties compared to cases where it is; comparing numbers with conflict in similar conditions where you believe there was such intent is a good starting point

Getting rid of terrorist government who promised to repeat 7th of October looks like necessary condition for peace.

It can make sense for a company where you know the printers will be used regularly and heavily and thus will also be subject to a lot of wear and tear, plus the pricing the big players offer can be pretty decent.
US support is the only thing preventing Israel from doing what they really want to do: deport Palestinians to neighboring Arab countries. Isolating Israel will turn it into a rogue state with nukes. It would become North Korea of Middle East.
A local metro area put in a light rail train down through a major city street. It was sold as a way to reduce congestion and bring more people and development opportunities through.

The reality is a lot of small minority owned businesses couldn't survive the years of construction and reduced parking, and the trains didn't bring more shoppers through.

A lot of homes and buildings were sold as taxes went up, but the new development were all luxury style apartments.

The people who benefited were commercial developers and yuppie types, and the lower class, largely minority people who made up most of the area were pushed back into other neighborhoods.

It turns out, judging the effects of an action like development requires a lot of local context, and people can quite rationally be upset that they are going to be sacrificed for someone else's gain.
Individuals should "put in some mental groundwork" in preparation of taking any entheogen; my best advice would be to use a spirit guide / healer for your first trip, particularly if you're extremely anxious.

As example, I have previously been turned down [by a US MD] as "too anxious" to try legal ketamine-infusion therapy [immediately after loss of a parent].

In using a trained professional (e.g. see Oregon's new psilocybin guide certification) to help you determine your "use fitness," you can probably avoid a very bad experience...
The article refers to a new fee for plane tickets that was decided upon last year in Denmark. It's quite a minor fee though that is not expected to affect consumer behavior. Trips in Europe will have a fee below 10 euros and flying from Denmark to New York will have a fee of around 40 euros. Furthermore it will only be fully phased in in 2030.

That's true, I forgot about the subsidiary sneakiness that corps do all the time. My thought process when asking the question was that yesterday I'd read a discussion here on HN about the US District Court testimony where Tim Sweeny/Epic said that they had deliberately flouted and broken Apple's developer agreement; the argument was that this testimony "doesn't count" because it happened outside of the EU – despite Epic and Epic Sweden being the same business run by the same guy.

A high quality 8x10 runs $9 at a local print shop. 4x6 is 60 cents.

Extrapolate from there and think of how often you'd send pictures to a print shop.

This is something I ponder about a lot.

For those proficient in writing textual programs, a tool such as Flyde as-is might provide value by enforcing modules to be stand-alone and well-defined; the premise of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming as a paradigm that promised value even without using a visual editor, and just by adhering to the concept.

But for those who lack the understanding of coding syntax and grammar, a visual tool, even in a not-much-higher level of attraction, could make all the difference. I've personally mentored dozens of entry-level developers many struggled with concurrency and asynchronicity. (callbacks, promises, etc). these are concepts that become a no-brainer using a nodes-and-wires editor.

Regarding prepping - fair point. I'm sure it's not what you meant, but here's a grep in a Flyde flow (the second example) - https://imgur.com/a/V9u1ETl
> Adding another western European country that's under no threat from anyone to NATO isn't going to do anything.

Russia has threatened Sweden with nukes.

> We should be adding backwards countries that share borders with or are targets of major enemies

Sweden serves a very strategic purpose against Russia, the old enemy of USA, by making Östersjön a NATO sea and with the island of Gotland as a base.

NTSB probing 'stuck' control incident on Boeing 737 MAX
Ask HN: What is your first impression of Claude-3?
Google ostensibly offers this as well. However - I’m in the middle of moving us to Azure and I have more details on the Google deal: you only have 60 days to complete the migration and then you must terminate your billing account. It’s a total window dressing of an offer and completely unrealistic for any reasonably large organization to use. Malicious compliance at its finest and I hope they get sued by the EU for it until they make it a more reasonable offer.
Speaking as an American I want this for the EU as well. I liked the prior world order, but I think the dream of keeping it alive died when our current dumbass-in-chief pulled out of Afghanistan in the stupidest way possible. The previous dumbass-in-chief who may well be the next dumbass-in-chief if the current one loses also abandoned our Kurdish allies and is promising to do worse than that.

Also, I like Europe. I don’t want to see it falter.
I think you skipped several steps in this argument. Can you explain more please?
Interesting, I didn't know the US was suing Apple right now for similar things. I don't follow it too closely, just what I see here on HN. Thanks for the info, I'll read up on it.
Sure, but I'm not convinced that, apart from annoying Israel or the US, those countries really care. Arms shipments to Hamas perhaps if they could get them in right now, but aid - not likely.

Maybe I'm wrong. I just haven't seen the other Arab or Muslim countries really do much when there wasn't a conflict.
I understand your point of view. 30 years experience with no more than 2 years you can expect they probably would stay with you for about the same length. A 32 year old with the same track record after a big life change like marriage/baby might change but so might the 55 year old (they might want to settle down as well).

I've gotten feedback you stayed too long and you didn't stay long enough from different employers during the same job cycle. Every employer expects different things.

Curious what do you consider an acceptance length at 55? 3 years, 5 years, 10 years+ vs a 32 year old?

In most ways yes, but militarily there's definitely some dependence on the US. A lot of European militaries were found to have relatively bare cupboards when the time to donate things to Ukraine came. Germany's Army Chief straight up said the army wasn't capable of fulfilling its mission.

(And yeah the US struggled with artillery shells too, the difference is that the US has so much airpower it had a legit reason to believe it wouldn't need them very much)

Causality is very tricky in biology and one of the primary focuses of my work.

In this case, they find that those with lots of microplastics also have high inflammation. So, are the microplastics: A. causing the inflammation, or B. microplastics following a path from the gut to the rest of the body due to pre-existing inflammation causing epithelial (surface) cells to be compromised, C. a feedback loop involving A and B.

> Meaning you can apply it to any task as long as you convert it to the right embedding space

This glosses over a massive issue which is that not everything can be efficiently represented as a vector space via embeddings. So your claim of "general purpose" rings hollow.

Not to mention that there is no feedback mechanism for the supposed "knowledge" advocates claim Transformer-based models have, so things like metacognition are literally impossible with this architecture. As it stands LLM outputs are isomorphic to psychotic stream-of-consciousness babble.

There is some data, but not much and not very good, that microdosing probably helps alleviate anxiety. However, I think what isn't well understood is, is this like using a band-aid for cancer. In my personal discussions with folks who work around psychedelic assisted therapy, these folks seem to believe it's the trip that knocks you right, and microdosing can keep you right, but you need to start with the trip. I have no real opinion on this, seems plausible to me based on my own experimentation, but I don't know.

> it's a local binding getting bound to different values
on each scope entry.

It is, I just wanted to point out that the term "immutable variable" is sensible. I think a good way to put it is that b is a variable, and when the statement runs a value is bound to b. So the value bound to b varies yet b can be immutable, in contrast to a constant which is a binding to always the same value.

> Did you mean `const b = a;` ?

Fixed, thanks :)
> It was found at a garage sale of a former THQ developer.

This would be interesting to know more about. Was it on a CD, or maybe left on the disk of an old PC? I wonder how much old source code is hanging out in developer's attics and basements around the world, before git/online repos were a thing.
Honestly I feel like an idiot living in a country that pretends free trade is still a thing while other countries are building healthy productive industries with state interventionism. In 20 years half of europe will be industrially dead, yes, even more so than today. We won't even be making our own bricks.

Flyde is TS to start with, but Python is the next candidate in language support. Eventually, the plan is to rewrite the core/runtime layer of Flyde to a more performant language (Rust/Go) and enable interoperability, so you could potentially even mix and match node implementations. One node could be built with Python, the other with JS, and the flow itself will be agnostic to it.

I suggested starting with a microdose, above, because for me it is one of those experiences which just helps me "be" [makes my attitude less shitty].

But as others have suggested, a smaller dose might be more appropriate for anybody looking for "an experience on psychedelics."

My absolute DO NOT recommendation: don't try any drug alone. When you're doing drugs alone (particularly first experimentations), you open yourself up to all sorts of gruesome outcomes (whether physical or mental).
All they do is alienate their customers. Had to chose a laser printer for my dad and went with Brother. It feels a bit worse than HP in general but at least I don’t have to great an online account in order to use the scanner functionality.

Color grading always changes the colors in post anyway. Film movies often looks better than digital to my eyes but i think that is at least partly because color grading did not exist like it does now and there was no push to make every object "pop" by being oversaturated. To me, Film is more likely to give you a single scene in each frame while color graded digital movies often seem to be made of several disparate scenes cobbled together. Movies from the past used less greenscreening in favor of matte paintings which were often included in the scene they were used itself rather than edited in or they were the only shot in the scene. You can make digital film look however you want, even to look like film, but most Netflix shows apparently do not opt for that.
