This is a fairly unrealistic idea. Unfortunately, mistakes and incompetence really are the answer, partially brought about because Netanyahu has spent years appointing people based on loyalty rather than credentials, partly because Hamas is smart and "played" Israel, partly because humans sometimes make mistakes.

If there truly was this kind of conspiracy, far too many people would have known about it, and this would've been leaked. Even if Netanyahu wouldn't mind the death of a thousand of his citizens (and personally I don't think anything is beneath him), there is no one else who would be so stupid or evil.

Also, Netanyahu almost certainly lost most of his public support because of this. Even if he truly was cynical anything to do something like this for his own personal gain, almost no one thinks that this has gained him anything. He will almost certainly go down in history as the worst Israeli leader of all time.

Also also, Israel isn't wiping anyone off the map. If this was all a ploy to do that, why wouldn't it just do it? I'm fairly certain that three days after Hamas's invasion of Israel, Israel had far more leeway from the world to do what it wanted.
That's odd, there are several cross-border (both north and south) communities — but maybe they're not fond of him either?
It's ambiguous as it's not above or below 1 :)
The Dutch model is the best example of this, using "autolow" methods to force cars onto certain routes while leaving the most direct ones to people, bikes and public transport.

It's surprising whenever these conversations come up that many seem to miss the extensive body of lessons that can be taken from the research and practice already done around the world. Is it a kind of "Not invented here" sort of thing?
Yes but you’re not asked to make it a line item and choose which client it will be billed to.
Hey, I don't use your app because it's too limited for my "PKMS" needs (I use trilium notes instead), but I appreciate that you make being "native and fast" a distinguishing feature (vs all the other electron based alternatives boiling the oceans).
Hope you're right.
It isn't that simple. If your application links against the runtime, be it dynamically or statically, then it is a derivative work and thus must be distributed under the GPL. This is why Java, also being under GPL, has an explicit exception for the runtime library despite even being a VM.

The Linux kernel allows you to run proprietary apps because the kernel code and the userland code exist in two separate "planes" connected by the syscall interface. The kernel even has an explicit exception for any code that may need to be shared between the kernel and the userland to make clear that this code is excluded from GPL.

As another similar case, the Free Pascal compiler is licensed under GPL including the runtime and almost all libraries/units that come with it but it also has an exception to allow linking without having the GPL extend to the programs the users write. AFAIK the GNU C library also has a similar GPL-with-linking-exception license.
> recent graduate with a degree in cyber security

This is part of the problem, not college in general - at least for this example. Cybersecurity is not an entry level career, and the degrees that focus on it are of dubious value to someone trying to become a security analyst/engineer/architect. Experience wins out over everything else.

Even worse for this young man is that any of the entry level jobs he might be trying to get have hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants. To get experience he would have needed to try and get a part time job while going to school (or work for the school itself doing something relevant to his desired career, many colleges employ students for A/V and tech support).

None of that is an issue with the college education, and even if he had been provided with "relevant" skills (assuming he wasn't) that wouldn't have given him any advantage over the sheer numbers that he's up against. There's plenty of companies that require a bachelor's degree at minimum for any kind of salaried position, and college is overall very useful for rounding out people to be better citizens, better voters, better community members, and better workers - the societal value is nothing to sneer at.

I tried to drop out of college in 2008-2009 and work to get some experience - all it did was drive home the fact that not having a degree was holding me back from starting a real career and not just working a job. Hiring and promotions went preferentially to people with degrees. Eventually I got a degree (in Economics) and then worked my way to being a Security Engineer at a FAANG company, but I wouldn't have gotten here without that BA because the intermediary steps were roadblocked by the need for a degree.

Does it make sense for some people to skip college and go straight into the workforce? Absolutely, but you can't assume to know beforehand who that's going to work out for and who it isn't'. Right now the subject of this article is unemployed but being support by his parents, that's exactly the type of person that should consider going to college because they have the necessary support network to weather a hiring market like the one we have now.
You personally don’t know anyone who obviously discloses that they have a safe. If you have a safe you are keeping something valuable secure. The fewer people know that you have something valuable that needs to be secured the better. If people don’t even know your safe exists then that reduces the chances of it being compromised.
I can understand ATS is dehumanizing, but to frame it like in the article does little to solve the problem. The article does not even highlight the actual problem as to why companies have such automated processes.

Number of applicants per job have increased manifold in recent years. No matter how many recruiters you hire, they can at max look at ~200 (20-30 per hour) resumes per day (assuming they don't work on anything else). On many entry level roles on LinkedIn, the number of applicants are more than 10,000. You need an automated system somehow. There is also a tendency in this demographic to compare against their peers and wanting the same jobs, perks, etc. while they may or may not want to make an effort towards it. Not sure if that is possible in the short run.
"The congestion charge initially contributed to reducing the level of car traffic in inner London. However, the regained space was quickly filled by taxis and other service vehicles, which benefit from exemptions. Cars and taxis represent about three-quarters of London’s road traffic. The number of miles driven by cars and taxis has progressively decreased by about 6% or 1 billion vehicle miles since 2000; in turn, the traffic of light commercial vehicles increased by 1 billion vehicle miles. Overall, the level of London’s road transport has thus remained fairly stable over the past two decades, ranging around 20 billion vehicle miles per year.

The road pricing schemes are an important instrument for raising additional income for greening London’s transport system. According to the Annual Report and Statement of Accounts 2021/22 of Transport for London, congestion charge net revenues reached £307 million in 2021/22. The ULEZ and LEZ generated a net income of £111 million and £34 million in 2021/22, respectively."

I had to use Flutter and Dart for a job a couple of years back and found this video series an excellent guide when learning about them too. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn either too.
I started blog and Github project, in a year I had a good job. It takes a lot, but there are much more efficient way.

College takes a lot of time and money. If you do this early in your career, it will hobble for decades.

Imagine you spend 30k on education, spend 3 years and get kicked out in final year, because you disagree with teacher. Or someone makes complain.

> Even today, some doors will stay closed for me, simply because... no formal degree

Degree is only needed for higher positions, those are not accessible to young people anyway. You can always get degree latter, it gets so much easier and cheaper, when you have experience . For me it was just a formality, I spend maybe like 200 hours total for my masters.
I’ve wondered if the democratic process is really a civilized form of scape-goating. Elections are a pressure valve, meaning incumbent parties are ejected from office and fresh faces brought in, albeit often with little change in the policies that caused pressures to build.
There are many things wrong with the TV license system, but I think saying it is 'mandatory' is a little misleading. As the Wikipedia article states, you need a TV license if you want to watch or record live broadcasted material (and iplayer). You can own a TV and not pay for a TV license and use it for Netflix, YouTube, gaming etc legally.

For my entire adult life I've never paid for a TV license, and I have never broken the law and watched live content. Many in my generation have no interest in TV anymore.
> At some point, we'll need to throw all the economists into the sea and start realizing what's going on here...

The REAL insiders know very well what's going on, but it's one of the best kept secrets among them: QFS is coming (almost there now), and they know it.

But since they (the old, evil central banks) can't control it - because it's not FIAT anymore, but asset backed - they are literally desperate now, because they are losing control...

This may sound like a conspiracy theory, but there is enough information out there that can confirm this. In a few months from now (after the total collapse of the old financial system and the complete stock market crash), we will be wiser...
Is this satire? I genuinely can’t tell if this a serious/sincere question or an attempt to parody the kind of hype-driven (and possibly even AI-generated) nonsense around gen-AI.
Honest story time. I don't even feel like hiding behind a throwaway.

In 2020 my boss, and CEO suddenly passed away to cancer. I found myself (CTO) having to run an entire company, while I was already dealing with personal issues. I rose to the occasion, did the best I could while also I explored the possibility of selling the company, which felt the most sensible option given the context (which I am not going to explore here). After a year of the most intense work I have done my entire life, the majority partner (and inheritor of the boss' shares) decided they didn't want to sell after all. Then everything imploded, I went on a massive nervous breakdown and burned out to cinders. Months later, in later 2021, I left because I literally felt I would die of exhaustion. It was necessary to take a very long break.

After 18 months of a sabbatical and working on my health, things started to look up, and I was starting to get bored. I have been working as a software engineer for 17 years, as employee and later consultant, and as a fully self-taught person I believe I am pretty darned good at it. What follows is 6 months of fruitless job search. Hundreds of CVs sent to no response. People telling me "it's the market", "it's your resume", "it's because you have too much experience", "it's because of Brexit". Silly phrases to explain the state of tech job search. In 6 months of job search, I felt I was crashing back into a second burnout and needed a change.

For the past year and a half I have been working on launching a business because it's the only avenue left to me, and only chance to avoid going through the meat grinder again. With crappy jobs on Upwork at $50/h, some underpaid consulting here and there, and UK universal income I have managed to keep a roof over my head, launch a business but still far from being financially secure. It is fucking exhausting, yet somehow job search is even worse than that.

If a person with this much experience like me is unable to find a bloody job, I loathe to imagine what juniors go through.

If I hear one more person say "the economy is not so bad" I'm gonna force them to look for a job the good old way, through the cosmic joke that job boards are.

Something is utterly broken in hiring, in recruitment, in the entire job market and no one is at the wheel. "The economy is not so bad, look at this chart", they tell you.
I didn't mean what I said sarcastically.

Everyone I know elsewhere in this industry who wants a big salary just comes and gets a job here.
> We don't need to deploy environments super often, so just do it manually and update documentation in the process if any variations are needed.

So you don't need to deploy multiple times or you don't do it because the system is stable when you deploy less often? I mean is it by choice or because of some tool or expertise limitation?

> Also, for architecture stored in text files - does that cause any problems for you?
By climate control I think they mean that motorbikes are near unusable in rain or in sun heat. Valid point, though the benefits outweigh it for bikers in Asia.
In today's digital landscape, having a compelling website is essential for effectively showcasing your mobile app. With the myriad of options available, choosing the right website template can make all the difference in attracting users and investors alike. In this blog post, we'll explore ten stunning mobile app website templates that will help you present your app in style and sophistication.
Learn shell programming (https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_09_07.ht...) or MS-DOS (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrat...), and it won’t be a problem remembering what shift does.

Neither of those has unshift, but you can infer its meaning from knowing about shift.

I also think push and pop aren’t good names. append, respectively removelast are way better.
It won't help at all. The problem is that Apple seems to hate explicit buttons, so you never know what tapping something will do. Here's an example in the phone app:

- in the contacts tab, tapping a contact will show details

- in the call list tab, tapping a contact will call them

There is no way to know ahead of time. You have to try it out, and then remember that the two tabs behave differently.

I have accidentally called people when I just wanted to look at their contact details more than once, and I've been using an iPhone for 15 years or so.
If the "no one considers that he is a good sales guy" crowd includes some people who really would know, then your startup is not viable with him in place. You'll probably need to leave.

But quietly talk to the people who provided you with funding. Even if they have no good ideas for fixing things, you always want to keep your financial backers feeling appreciated, informed, and happy with your conduct.
The author says that shorter life expectancies in the past means that there weren't many great-grandparents back in the day.

I don't think that's the case: the shorter average life expectancy is due to infant and youth mortality. As long as you didn't die from what would nowadays be a preventable disease, people still got old: that's where the term "three score years and ten" comes from.

So I think there were probably many 70yo great grandparents.

Plenty of evidence to the contrary. Somehow I and everyone involved in all of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_major_Creative_Commons... manage to put food on the table. If your business plan requires enforcing impossibilities on the entirety of humanity, maybe consider reworking it before giving up?

At the end of the article, Cockburn complains that asking ChatGPT about Palantir work with the IDF gets a hallucination in response. I just queried duckduckgo.com with "IDF Palantir", and receved links to several news articles from relatively mainstream news sources. If the point is that LLMs are currently unreliable, then sure. If the point is that we can't know whether Palantir is working with the IDF, then there is available evidence

Your "solution" to the problem that adults now are claiming to be unable to become parents is, literally, "cure aging".

Mine is "accept that you can not do it on your own and have them at a age where your parents can still help you."

The fact that people are forgetting these "old values" is what is bringing to this unsustainable state, and instead of accepting the reality of our limited lifespans and that people have managed to start having kids in the early 20's (or before that) for centuries just fine, you want to double down on the idea that "no one should have kids before their 50s"?

Who is "not living in the real world"?
Oh definitely. It allows violent conflict to be replaced by… well… culture wars, and murder with voting people out or maybe legal battles. That’s massively more civilized and avoids destroying all of society’s accumulated wealth in destructive conflicts.

Avoiding burning everything to the ground all the time might be the main reason democracies tend to be wealthier.
how often did you feel this pain? Because a lot of people here are also saying that orgs stick to one cloud only.
> How come poor nations and failed states can manage to provide good public transit so so much cheaper than anyone else?

By using badly maintained, very old vehicles, with low to no enforced standards of operations for safety.

By operators exploiting themselves because of only coarsely tracked costs and low level of reserves.

By not having to conform to strict schedules and not providing service in off hours, only when good business is expected. This makes the infrastructure virtually nonexistent, hurting the general economy by limiting the possibilities of those having to take these forms of public transport.

By applying demand based pricing, for example when working off hours charging more to cover the running costs which are split among less users.

By not working for peanuts, it is your false perception because you have far more income (and disposable income) than those who have to live on incomes local to that area. If PPP adjusted it is often quite a sum.

Just to name a few factors. In general well run welfare states, or at least moderately well run authoritarian states (also having some welfare aspects many Americans would probably call communism) tend to have good public transport, for different reasons, and share taxis are generally not considered a good public transit.
The ability to travel down roads and paths has been a major part of life for centuries whether by foot, horse, car or whatever. The land you travel over was there before humans evolved. Blocking that is always going to be a bit controversial. Trains on the other hand don't exist unless someone pays to build them.
What are you referring to? It's nowhere even close to the same scale.

Although if you consider the assassination of Rabin, which was carried out by an Israeli settler extremist, then yes, that was something that caused a terrible impact. It's possible that if that had not happened, Rabin would have managed to get us to an actual peace agreement. (Still his murder didn't stop the peace process - it continued. What really stopped it was the refusal of Arafat to agree to a deal, and the second intifiada.)

One problem is that cars take up the space that other transit options need, or alternately, cars themselves are the reason other transit options are unattractive.

For example:

- many people are afraid to ride bicycles because they are (justifiably) afraid of being run over by cars

- separated bike lanes cannot be created because the space is already used for parking spaces for cars

- street level trolleys or buses can move people very efficiently, but when cars block their path, they are slowed to the same pace as the traffic jam

I could go on and on and on. Unless you take back the space used for cars, it is very difficult to make space for anything else.
If someone had a broken arm you wouldn't tell them to exercise that arm more and that it's fine. Or that back in time people didnt had casts and they were fine.

I don't understand why so many people act otherwise when it does come to issues you can't see.

I don't have ADHD but I have friends who do. And no it's not a question of willpower they need meds to function. So I'm very sensitive when it comes to people saying it's on them like poster before you somewhat implies.

That is not my understanding of what “not replicable” means. My understanding is “attempted to replicate, but didn’t get any significant results supporting the original conclusion”. There’s nothing that says that the new results are inconsistent with the original findings, only that they couldn’t find any support for them in a similar study.

And that could be for a number of reasons. Of course, sometimes the results are just wrong, due to statistical flukes, or too creative data cleaning and analysis. Often the results might just be much more limited than what the original study claims: Maybe the results of a psychological study is valid for MIT students in the beginning of the semester, before lunch, but not for Yale students in the early afternoon. In this case the only mistake would have been to assume the results were universal.
