For the record, there are currently two cases against Israel at the ICJ, one is for genocide, and the other is for apartheid[*]. These are the words which are used before the world court, it would be kind of silly to police the same usage on an internet forum. The intent here is the same as at the ICJ, to accuse Israel of an illegal, undemocratic, and inhumane practice.

Otherwise, tit-for-tat, if you want to use these words for what they were originally used, you should probably not use the term “terrorism” unless you are specifically referring to Irish nationalists using terrorism against the British colonial rule.

But onto your main point, that Israel does not practice apartheid because occupation is not apartheid (and there is no occupation in Gaza?)

When people refer to the policy of Apartheid which Israel imposes onto Palestinians, they are more likely referring to something like:

a) Separate freedom of migration: Israel is famous for their policy of granting citizenship for people of Jewish ethnicity, meanwhile Palestinians in exile are not even allowed to return to Gaza, let alone the West Bank, or Israel proper. Gazans are also not allowed to migrate to the West Bank although the reverse is allowed (if you never return). At the same time, Israelis or even American Jews, are allowed to move into areas in the West Bank.

b) Limitations on the freedom of movement: Palestinians living in the West Bank have to move between constant checkpoints to go between areas within the West Bank, they cannot go to Israel Proper, and Gaza has severe restrictions. Israelis living in the same areas do not have to go to these checkpoints and can travel freely between Israel and the West Bank.

c) Separate legal system: Palestinians in the West Bank are tried before a military court, while Israelis living in the same area guilty of the same crime are tried before a much more lenient civilian court.

d) Land grabs for Israelis: Israel allows settlements in vast areas inside the West Bank, Palestinians are not allowed to create settlements like that.

e) Access to water: Israel portions the water disproportionately to Israel, leaving Palestinians with less chances to e.g. farm profitably.

f) Settler terrorism: Israeli settlers constantly terrorize Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. This includes stealing their houses, stealing their farmland, destroying their crops, killing their livestock, destroying their property. This is not government policy, and some of the settler terrorist do get punished in the Israeli civilian legal system (see (c)). However there are plenty of instances where the Israeli police or army has observed these terrorist attacks and done nothing to prevent them, sometimes they even participate in them.

*: More accurately the case only mentions policies and practices but several nations (including South Africa) have used the term “apartheid” in their oral testimonies.
> I don't have an answer but I do think "it's cathartic" is part of things

I write because the thoughts need to get out of my head. I can’t not write.

I publish because getting feedback on my writing (both implicit and explicit) helps me understand how to phrase things for maximum impact. It’s also a great way to do Hamming’s open door idea from that famous essay.

Having tested ways of expressing ideas has been great in all sorts of contexts. People think I’m super quick on my feet and able to grok things quickly, but really I’ve just put in the reps, pre-chewed their arguments and concerns, and developed ways to express my insights in ways that land.

As that anecdote attributed to Churchill goes: “What are you doing? We have to go!” … “One sec, just preparing my off the cuff remarks”

Plus it turns out publishing is great for increasing your luck surface area. I wouldn’t be here without my blog.
Making CarPlay for boats would not be so hard, but making Waze for recreational boats might be. But if you have ideas on that and are sure you can avoid directing people into deadly obstacles, considering all sea and weather conditions, in all kinds of boats, give it a go!

They mention they are working on their own QC. In corporate logic, using a third party projection to make a statement about where you are headed seems absolutely legit to me.
> it changes a dialogue of unequal capacity face to face, of fast speakers and slow thinkers, into one of more considered writing.

This is why I value async communication in companies so much. I'm not a fast speaker, I'm a slow thinker and often need to ruminate on things before I can respond. But once I put my thoughts into words it's often 10x better than anything I could have said verbally in a conversation.

As an added benefit, writing is not nearly as ephemeral as "meetings". I can't count the number of times I've asked for meeting recordings only to learn no one bothered to record it. Even if it was recorded, basically no one shares their notes.

It's gotten to the point within my own company I'm developing a bot to join all meetings and transcribe the conversation.

Almost like Uber was marketed, AirBnB was not initially sold as a "make primary income off this". It was a way for people with excess assets (spare car and some time, spare room in a big house, etc) to make some money and the companies were the broker.

Turning Airbnb into a full-blown rental market with people and LLCs buying houses just for AirBnB was the downfall. At least, that's my interpretation.
Packages with native components that have not been updated for the semantics changes.
Here's a study by someone from Kellogg university on this very subject:

https://www.jcr-admin.org/preprints/chernev-preprint.pdf

>Semantic Anchoring in Sequential Evaluations of Vices and Virtues

>How do people evaluate sequentially presented items? Prior research suggests that sequential evaluations are subject to anchoring biases, such that the values of subsequently evaluated alternatives are assimilated toward the initially considered option. The present research argues, however, that sequential valuations often lead to contrast rather than assimilation effects, whereby values of the subsequently estimated alternatives are distanced from the initially evaluated option. These contrast effects are attributed to semantic anchoring, which stems from evaluating conceptually related options classified into opposing categories (e.g., vices and virtues).

Really, they should be tackling capital income. But it wouldn’t hurt to also tackle charity donations.
It's simple, their taxes should go towards the same stuff everyone else's goes to. I also donate to charity, after I pay taxes. It is hard to find a good one. The me myself and I memorial foundation doesn't serve anyone.

Python has been too often just a -bit- too slow for my use cases; the ability to throw a few cores at problems more easily is not going to eliminate this criticism from me but it's sure going to diminish it by a large factor.

This just looks more like Roku had identified significant amounts of credential stuffing across customer accounts. As opposed to someone breaking into the back end of Roku and leaking customer account details.

It could also be targeted credential stuffing given recent events. An interesting tactic to create problems for a company.

I'm not saying Roku is a good company, but this isn't really a data breach but poor credential management by customers.
MTE can provide strong deterministic security properties through reserved tags. Anything not tagged has a 0 tag and anything tagged has a non-0 tag by default since it's a default exclusion. You can exclude other tags statically or dynamically via instructions for this, but you can also simply use the 0 tag for internal usage such as freed memory while knowing that any tagged pointer can't access it.

In hardened_malloc, we dynamically exclude the adjacent tags and previous tag used for an allocation slot. That provides deterministic protection against linear overflows and small overflows. For use-after-free, an access through a pointer to the freed allocation can't access it while freed or after being allocated again but rather needs to wait until the need time it's handed out again where there's a 1/15 chance it will have the right tag. This combines well with the other hardened_malloc security properties. It has FIFO/random quarantines for slab allocations and virtual memory, which delay reuse further and not deterministically. It avoids ever reusing memory locations between different allocation size classes until going above 128k, which are each in different regions with metadata all in another reserved region.

In the general case, MTE provides around a 1/15 chance for bypass due to currently only being 4 bits. It could be EASILY extended to support using 8 bits, and there are other free bits if you aren't using PAC. In theory, they could support up to 16-bit MTE for 48-bit address space or higher with a typical 39-bit address space. It's currently hard-wired to 4 bits which we've been told was chosen over 8 bits to enable storing the extra bits in ECC parity memory.

How do we know that galaxies are accelerating away from us and not moving at constant speed?

There's a more basic question: How do we know the galaxies are moving? It seems (I haven't seen any other response, like... ever) that we have one and only one way to measure the speed of galaxies: the red shift.

It's impossible to triangulate those huge distances and the time scale would also be a barrier, so no way of confirming the red shift calculations with a different method. That means that if the red shift was caused by any other effect, say the light "degrading" after millions of years of travelling the void, all the calculations would be invalid.

I've asked about this many times and the answers are in the line of "we don't know any other reason for the light to red shift" and "the current theoretical frame is consistent", even if there isn't any other measure to be consistent with.

There was a prediction (expansion is related to Big Bang) that the far away galaxies, being younger, would have a different composition. This prediction seems to be failing, but advances in instrumental could give us a more precise answer in the future.
Python is probably much more monkey patchable. Almost any monkey patching that JavaScript supports also works in Python (e.g. modifying class prototype = assigning class methods), but there are a few things that only Python can do: accessing local variables as dict, access other stack frames, modifying function bytecode, read/write closure variables, patching builtins can change how the language works (__import__, __build_class__). Many of them can make a language hard to optimize.

Having been a yacht captain turned programmer:

We would have something purpose made from raymarine/garmin/whoever hard-mounted to the steering station networked into the various sensors onboard. There would be at least one redundant display elsewhere (out of the weather in the case of boats steered from deck). We would never go for something on a raspi. Some boats will have the sensor canbus hooked into a computer to use additional software. The purpose made displays are all sleek touchscreen systems that look more like a Tesla interface than this raspi thing.

As far as UI and graphics: They are modeled on what actual paper charts look like (which is standardized, and what mariners are trained to use). These are systems designed as a safety tool first, and iterating through the latest design fads every 2-3 years to make things pretty is unsafe. I want my chart-plotters and tools to be near universal in symbology and interface, and that is what they have done.

If I were an adversary possessing a (quantum) code-breaking device, who can break into your infra that uses a (pre-quantum) encryption for authorization, I probably would attach a debugger to your worker process, and find out about all your databases, and maybe hijacked a live connection to one.

If I only could get access to nothing but one database, and every table / segment of it were encrypted differently, it would likely take as much effort to break into each of them, as if they were "physically separate" databases.
I think that would very quickly become a rat’s nest of proving that something isn’t truly philanthropic. It seems a lot easier to say gifts aren’t tax deductible and raise taxes enough that important social services aren’t expected to be funded by largesse.
Major medical provider drops patient for not having a Android or iOS device
Entirely reasonable assumptions! Our models match surprisingly well though... The CMB has a blackbody spectrum that aligns with predictions, we see galaxies more or less when and where we'd expect them, stellar populations look like what we'd expect for a universe made of hot hydrogen, and more! It's not quite perfect, but modern physics explains stuff really quite well even billions of years ago!

Set a goal such as walking a 225 (Larapinta) or 1,000 kilometer (Bibbulmun) walking trail, or traversing the Western Arthur ranges, spend a month working | training | planning, and then go head first into completing an end to end.

Take a friend or hire a trainer for support.

Plan for the weather, Tasmania in the summer (christmas time in the southern hemisphere), the walking tracks in the winter (no snow, it's the Australian mainland).

Many parts of the world have hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty, long walks with packs and a commitment to finish are more immersive than intending to go to a gym. If there are track forums it might suit you to walk with a group.

I don't know what you mean by "fact", but your vote certainly holds less proportional power to influence a politician than that of 1/(population of the us). Politicians straight-up don't care about your opinion unless you can show up as a meaningful horde, and judging by the reaction to the Israeli invasion of Palestine that doesn't hold much water either.

So it would take really long if I would create a video for each one manually)

Exploring the concept of files > app deeper, it would be interesting if we were able to foster a culture of website apps writing to local storage with files (in a similar manner to Obsidian), and if we had a common format for doing so, with an open-source daemon that sync'd writes to and from that directory to e.g. some other folder. That would unlock ownership of data even in web apps. The daemon could be app-agnostic and just dutifully sync all the things.
One of the reasons I am using it (I inherited it, looking to move) is due to being able to delegate some responsibilities to other staff without giving them the whole thing.

I'd love a service that lets me delegate some technical aspects to others. Godaddy is a non-option.

Plotters are a marriage of RADAR and paper charts. The technical integrations are really no trouble for the average system administrator. The problem comes about with the challenges of the environment and the uniqueness of every installation. The market is also small. I think the estimate is around 10,000 yachts actively moving around the world.

Another issue is that there are very few makers or the technology.

I think it's a great area for development because it is immature and in the middle of technical upheaval that nobody really knows what how great a plotter could be.

>A number of studies have shown the robustness of the anchoring effect. Anchors can influence judgment even after weeks or months (Reference MussweilerMussweiler, 2001; Reference Yoon, Fong and DimokaYoon & Fong, 2019). The anchoring effect is present even in experts in the judgmental domain (Reference Englich and MussweilerEnglich & Mussweiler, 2001; Reference Englich, Mussweiler and StrackEnglich et al., 2006). An anchor can influence subsequent judgment even if it is clearly implausible (Reference Strack and MussweilerStrack & Mussweiler, 1997) or when it is compared to a different object (Reference Frederick and MochonFrederick & Mochon, 2012; Reference Mochon and FrederickMochon & Frederick, 2013).

How long before more legible code or code-like constructs (or markup?) start to displace arcane mathematical notation?

It would take quite a long time but I could see this slowly happening for analogous reasons to how the printing press favored alphabetic languages over pictorial ones. Computers teach us to read, write, and express linguistically and are now thanks to LLMs capable of working much more fluently with language. Squiggles and lots of Greek letters seem like an anachronism.
