The "shuttle" concept dates to the late 1960's. Great marketing, but the program was intended to finish once a destination was built.

> As the Apollo program began to wind down in the late 1960s, there were numerous proposals for what should follow it. Of the many proposals, large and small, three major themes emerged. Foremost among them was a crewed mission to Mars, using systems not unlike the ones used for Apollo. A permanent space station was also a major goal, both to help construct the large spacecraft needed for a Mars mission as well as to learn about long-term operations in space. Finally, a space logistics vehicle was intended to cheaply launch crews and cargo to that station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-134

> The Shuttle was originally conceived of and presented to the public in 1972 as a 'Space Truck' which would, among other things, be used to build a United States space station in low Earth orbit during the 1980s and then be replaced by a new vehicle by the early 1990s.
And even if you expect that some payments will continue to happen under the table, the payouts would have to be much lower, as there is a limit to how much a business can hide on their balance sheets.

That means less potential profit for ransomware makers, less incentive to make ransomware, and less money to fund ransomware development.
> APL notation makes more sense once you get...... APL is way more regular... With it's small set of special symbols, regular syntax and human-friendly infix notation APL is designed be very easy to learn....It looks utterly alien to programmers that are used to the C-style syntax based languages, yes.

As you might guess from my original post, I'm a Lisp apologist. I like the syntax and I can make an argument for Lisp [1] that sounds a lot like the argument you make here for APL. From what you say and from what I've read, I suspect APL is another language like Lisp (and Smalltalk, Forth, and Tcl). These are all languages derive a great deal of elegance and coherence from a pure approach to syntax and design, and all are seductive in their way to people that have taken on the effort to learn how they work.

The problem is that this doesn't matter enough to overcome the incumbency bias in favor of more traditional languages.

> but your JS or C# code looks as alien if not more alien to an non-programmer as does APL to you.

It would be convenient for APL if this were true, but the reality is that it's not.

I learned Logo and Basic when I was eight. My kids learned JS/Python around the same age. This is a common experience. It's just not that hard to learn basic imperative programming in an infix language.

>> There's no other way to fight urban warfare in reality, that's the point.

In that case the IDF should not fight an urban war. There is no strategic
objective that can reasonably be achieved that justifies the carnage. What the
IDF is waging in Gaza is clearly not any kind of defensive war: it is a
retaliatory operation motivated by the humiliation suffered by the IDF and the
Israeli government who failed, miserably, in their responsibility to defend
their people. Hamas could never have perpetrated the 7 October atrocity, if
the IDF was not asleep at the wheel, or rather off to defend the fascist
settlers, and leaving the "socialist" kibbutzim to defend themselves. If the
IDF really wanted to avoid a repeat of 7 October, the way to do that is very
easy and does not require any Palestinians to be bombed at all: just don't
fuck up again. The IDF had one job. They failed, and now the Gazans are paying
for their failure. "Urban warfare" my ass, this is just shooting fish in a
barrel.

And as everyone and their little sister has pointed out, including plenty in
Israel, even if, when, Hamas is destroyed, the only way to avoid a new
resistance organisation emerging is to exterminate the Palestinians (not just
in Gaza, everywhere, and that includes Syria and Lebanon) and so perpetrate
the genocide you claim Israel does not want to. Failing that, you think
"Hamas-ISIS" are Nazis? Wait 'till you see the monsters that will rise from
their ashes, the maggots bursting from the corpse of Gaza.

As to the hostages, there's no doubt that if Israel wants to get them back,
then it should keep bombing and razing Gaza; but if it wants to get them back
alive, then it should stop now.

There is no such thing as “stronger” standing. You either have standing or you don’t. It’s the rule almost everywhere that a party to a contract can seek a declaratory judgment regarding the contract without breaching.

This idea that Epic had to breach to sue is part of a well crafted PR campaign by Epic.
The technical complaint here is mainly that variance-based dimensional reduction ignores many important variables. Retracting the paper over this would be an extremely controversial move. Those who are claiming that race has no genetic basis are factually wrong.

Self-identified race correlates remarkably well with genetic history, although many scientists don't want that to be true. It looks like most of the people complaining are applying a form of consequentialism: they might actually think that genetics and self-identified race are closely related, but worry if that fact is widely known, people will weaponize it as a justification for racism. I think we should approach the problem differently: accept that self-identified race correlates with genetic history, and also explain why that doesn't justify being racist.

(For those who are curious, self-identified race is what a person puts down on a form that asks what their ethnicity or race is. That answer can be based on a combination of many different forms of evidence and belief and might not correspond to the genetic history of the individual at all! Genetic history is literally your ancestry tree- from whom you descended. This is a scientific concept, can be measured using sequencing, and often contains surprising data (it's how I learned I had a bunch of half-sisters and brothers around the country).

Unfortunately, nearly every online discussion of these sorts of things devolves into very ugly arguments falling into the same tropes over and over, which isn't very productive. Everything I wrote above is true to the best of my knowledge, and has factual support, but could be wrong- I fully acknowledge my epistemic uncertainty. I am not interested in your single paper/publication that supports your view (having had many scientific debates on the internet, I have grown wary of the common behavior of cherry-picked studies). Instead, I heartily recommend becoming as educated as possible about this field, making your own determination, and pushing back against well-meaning consequentialists who worry their scientific discoveries could be used for evil purposes.
Case in point: you made a conclusion without fully reading something, based on a pre-existing bias you had after someone made a claim that went against it. This is modern internet in a nutshell, and that's not even considering whether this forum, like any other, is not just a lot of the same people behind multiple accounts.

straight rice and bread break down into sugars -very- quickly in the stomach, that's why mixing them with stuff like you mentioned (heavy in fat and/or protein) can really dampen the spikes in my own observations.

Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events
Abstract

BACKGROUND

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this risk extends to humans is lacking.

METHODS

We conducted a prospective, multicenter, observational study involving patients who were undergoing carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid artery disease. The excised carotid plaque specimens were analyzed for the presence of MNPs with the use of pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, stable isotope analysis, and electron microscopy. Inflammatory biomarkers were assessed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemical assay. The primary end point was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from any cause among patients who had evidence of MNPs in plaque as compared with patients with plaque that showed no evidence of MNPs.

RESULTS

A total of 304 patients were enrolled in the study, and 257 completed a mean (±SD) follow-up of 33.7±6.9 months. Polyethylene was detected in carotid artery plaque of 150 patients (58.4%), with a mean level of 21.7±24.5 μg per milligram of plaque; 31 patients (12.1%) also had measurable amounts of polyvinyl chloride, with a mean level of 5.2±2.4 μg per milligram of plaque. Electron microscopy revealed visible, jagged-edged foreign particles among plaque macrophages and scattered in the external debris. Radiographic examination showed that some of these particles included chlorine. Patients in whom MNPs were detected within the atheroma were at higher risk for a primary end-point event than those in whom these substances were not detected (hazard ratio, 4.53; 95% confidence interval, 2.00 to 10.27; P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, patients with carotid artery plaque in which MNPs were detected had a higher risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from any cause at 34 months of follow-up than those in whom MNPs were not detected.

Unfortunately for your hypothesis, the etymology of the Norse or Icelandic suffix "-vik" in Reykjavik is known. It means "bay", originally through a sense of a twist or turn, like a turning in along the coast. It is related to English "wend", "wind (up)" or "way". ("Sideways" = "turned to the side".) The same Indo-European root, in a slightly different but related sense (think "turn over") via Latin gives "victor" and "vanquish", and also through Germanic "weaken" (to make yield).
Did early autos even work in inclement weather? I'm under the impression that cold weather fuels and oils are relatively modern and I wouldnt be surprised if pre-heating systems came years after the vehicles first gained traction.
> When I first learned C, I didn’t know English well enough to understand what “if” or “else” meant. I learned these words in the context of programming first, and natural language second. This experience is probably the same for most of the world’s programmers.

In this context, Ravi who became cofounder of Heap certainly didn't take that route. He was and is fantastic and if anything I'm surprised Airplane wasn't even more successful because of his involvement.

I don't have all the early context, but my understanding (vaguely) is that Heap went through two different incubators, and after one Ravi came on to be cofounder at YC where Heap raised its seed round.
Holy shit what hyperbole. Apple asked for a realistic assurance Epic wasn't entering into a bad faith agreement. Epic decided they couldn't do that so Apple terminated their account. Pretending Epic is a faultless victim is just ludicrous. Not only have they previously violated the developer agreements they've given every indication they're incapable of entering any good faith agreement with Apple.

They've been throwing tantrums against every company they deal with. They want to charge fees on their store and platforms. They want their IAP. But they act offended when any other company wants to charge them to be on their stores.
Also bar them from serving as an officer of a public company. That will hurt.
The hiring process is absolutely, completely, and utterly broken. The moment a new job is posted there are already hundreds of applicants--more likely thousands, although LinkedIn only says "100+," essentially. All the recently laid off, the desperate H-1Bs, etc. are flooding the seeking market with supply. Good candidates are lost in the noise of application spam. It's gross.

I'm personally being really bitten by this. I have a very unique combination of experience but due to the use of "AI" and applicant tracking systems, combined with job postings that are nothing more than 50+ bullet points, there is no chance for a human to see my uniqueness before I'm filtered out for some arbitrary reason. I'm actually worried about not being able to find work in the industry again at this point.

I was excited to use this in my Demo project, but `import from "node:@tailwindcss/postcss@latest"` throws error about the `exports` field in package.json.

With that aside, the blog post mentions not having to use `postcss-import` but it seems to include that as dependency. So we're still using `postcss-import`.
I was employee six and didn't know (though I did know there was a history to Heap before it joined YC and there was another cofounder, I just never knew/didn't dig into who)
The real killer for me has been the fact that the keywords or bangs aren’t tied to a single platform/browser.

fruit and berries do have sugars but in their wild state they tend to have much less than their modern equivalents bred to be sweeter and tastier. Even then they still typically are 75-95% water and often have some fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins which all can help with inflammation unlike snickers bars.
It is probably easier to find interesting things curious people with diabetes has done, sure you might want help to sort out the interesting bits.

I feel like an assertion is missing here: What is your conclusion from all of that? Is it that Israel is treated unfairly by the news media and that's why they are criticized?

That may be a factor, but it doesn't feel like a genuine discussion. Maybe Israel is doing some things wrong or there are legitimate concerns about that. The death and destruction are large scale relative to the war zone, and that should be a serious concern and attract exceptional attention no matter who you are. Blaming it all on bias, etc. is a weak response that doesn't address the merits; it also fits, intentionally or not, a very old rhetorical technique of redirection (as is the whataboutism). You seem knowledgeable and thoughtful; what do you really think about the real issues?

Regarding some other issues:

FWIW, in my particular news media bubble (mostly leading print journalism), that's not what I see at all. I read about all the issues you mention, about harm and fear and everything else on both sides. From what I read about my sources, they are biased toward Israel; IME: coverage of the war is pretty balanced. They all omit 99% of the Israeli violence and hate I see reported in the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz. Given your perspective, do you actually read anti-Israeli media? Why?

Americans have little knowledge of geography anywhere; it has nothing to do with Israel. What do you know about, for example, South Korea? Kashmir? Ecuadoran geography? Probably for the average Israeli, they know not much at all.

Yes, obviously they don't care about the legal consequences for the victim. The goal is to make them think they won't ever get paid due to the threat of legal consequences on victim, and therefore they wouldn't bother doing ransom in the first place (which is pretty unrealistic imo).
You're right it doesn't but they can regulate what operations a surgeon can perform and what drugs can be prescribed which is de-facto regulating whether or not an abortion can be performed.
This is a typo right: "macOS dominance declines”? Or clickbait maybe? It doesn’t seem like macOS from its lowest figure mentioned in the article (~15%) to its highest (~21%) dominates.

A few months ago I made a free open source extension to speedup youtube ads that I shared here & hit the front page. Within a week a guy (who commented on my show hn thread) copied it and promoted his version on reddit which went viral and has 300k+ Users [1]

But why copy a free open source extension instead of just contributing a pr? Well... a few weeks later he was trying to sell it on multiple sites for 5 figures. Maybe they still own it but I couldn't help but notice that the registered developer for his extension on the chrome store has also changed since it was originally published.
