They do speak about erasing specific towns (and after saying such things their supporters go and torch such towns while killing the inhabitants), forcibly expelling all Palestinians, and calling for a second Nakba though:

It is a corollary.

Still, if the human remains are an issue, well - in numerous ritual burials of rulers, there are remains of servants or concubines. In most cases, we can assume it was not consensual.

In this case - should we cremate (or otherwise destroy, according to our contemporary customs) these human remains?
"irreparable damage to my career."

I am trying to help you with my comment but it is going to be straight. You sound like someone who wants to have the cake and eat it too. If you have the itch so bad, you need to do something about it at some point and there never will be a right time. Trust me on that. Yes, you can take calculated risks etc but overall, there will never be that perfect day.

"Irreparable damage" is too strong of a phrase. That tells me that your itch is not that bad and it is more of a nice thing to do because many others do it. Don't think of it that way. If you truly want to do your own thing, think of it this way. What if you never do it ? Will you be ok with it on your death bed ? If not, do something now. If it doesn't matter that much to you, you are most likely better off just working for someone else.

Having said all this, if you are not sure about how to start your own thing, the next best thing is to join a small company/startup where you learn and are very close to the bottom line. Lot of startups/small companies (under 50 employees) would love to hire failed entrepreneurs.

I can highly recommend "A City on Mars"[^0], which I recently read.

The authors go into fascinating detail about what it takes to build planetary settlements, and they not only focus on the engineering questions but make a point to talk about the legal aspects of space settlement as well.

please. the last people that would buy into any kind of marketing are MBAs because they actually study marketing among other things during their 2 years of obtaining an MBA.

there is no perfect product, I don't know how well Palantir AI works, but I would be surprised it doesn't work at all
The cloud is "someone else's computer". You don't make the rules, they do. Keep your stuff on your own system, and maybe use the cloud for backup. Honestly, I don't even recommend that, unless you have actually read the T&C.

The simplest solution is to get two memory sticks and copy your data to them. One stays with you, the other is in a safe-deposit box. Rotate them regularly. It's really not that much effort.

That all said, WTF? Is this a new round of Puritanism come to visit? Why does Google care if adults are writing porn and sharing it?
Show HN: A portfolio website simulating a 90s Unix computer using React
Heya, I’m working on a portfolio website simulating a 90’s UNIX style computer using React and ThreeJS.

The style is mostly inspired by SerenityOS, macOS and compromised I had to make to get it to work well within a browser. :ˆ)

I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
I started something and failed catastrophically. We returned the remaining cash to the investors. VCs are beating down my door to discuss the next thing, and they're introducing me to their portfolio companies to see if I'm interested in jobs.

Starting a company and failing makes it easier to get a job, not harder.
No way, I want my 24 lane elevated freeway to circumnavigate the moon. My patriotic freedoms are being impeached.
Social Security doesn't even make the top 100 of why it's better than a 100 years ago.
Violence is channeled by western society as a righteous vengeance. Sex is channeled as the reproductive force of nuclear families. It's not that one is celebrated and the other oppressed. Violence against the innocent is always punished by a righteous warrior. And sex is not condemned. It is celebrated in the context of long term coupling to raise children. Promiscuity and non-reproductive sex is therefore seen as threat. An eligible target for the fury of the righteous. Non reproductive sex in western societies is only celebrated in the context of overpopulated urban centers.
I love it. Turn the other cheek in the face of death. Incredible ideas but we mangle it. Hence we are not in the kingdom yet.
That’s not what the author wrote. A popup said her account was frozen. See the last screenshot.

“As of right now, I don't know. I cannot access any of mine to check at the moment Thankfully an alpha reader of mine saw it happening and I downloaded everything to my laptop before I submitted an appeal.
Atter processing the appeal, a pop up said my account was frozen pending review. My assumption is after the review I'll either get everything back or lose it, but I don't know for sure.“
Why is it reasonable?
Using the origin of a word to discredit its current use is quite simply a bad faith argument to sidetrack discussion. Conspiracy has a meaning and it doesn't matter who coined it. If you want to make this argument be sure to carefully analize the entire etymology of every single word you're writing
People also like to forget that Likud was itself born from a terrorist organization, Irgun, whose leader, a proscribed terrorist by several Western countries, was elected Prime Minister of Israel.

> “We need to preserve the far side for exciting science that includes measuring magnetic fields associated with potentially habitable exoplanets and uncovering the mysteries of the unexplored Dark Ages of the early universe—using low radio frequency observations”

Does that sound completely crazy? Like... the fact that they want to study it before private companies destroy it for their own benefit?

> Moving development from Earth into space should count as an overwhelming win for the environment.

I don't think this is obvious at all. Actually I don't believe it at all. First because enabling development in space will not at all make us reduce it on Earth. Why would it? If we can make money in space and on Earth, it's more money than just on Earth. It's even completely possible that having development in space will make it even worse for the environment on Earth.
Fans and light clothes, mostly.

A lot more people live out in cheaply built homes with small, barren yards and dark roofs that are literally designed for air conditioning. Older homes often have better airflow.

An example of a newer suburb in Sydney is Marsden Park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzV3H_K73To

I don't use/have aircon in my home in Brisbane and I get by fine :) Although it is nice to have aircon in the summer when I'm working on the computer and need to concentrate (my office at work is air conditioned, like most).
I understand study of the early universe has potentially important ramifications in physics - but scanning exoplanets for evidence of life seems pointless to me. Say we found life within 10 LY of our solar system. What would we even do with this information?
Just to give you a perspective, energy Germany needs is around 61 GW. It's likely to go up as people switch to electric cars.

Also, that article is make believe as every single graph and stat in it (and in the linked study) talks about the future. I'm afraid they are literally doing this extrapolation: https://xkcd.com/605/
The Sons of Liberty were terrorists too. ;p

The important thing to me is those guys don't lead to Islamic theocracies.
I'm always dumbfounded by the luddites on hackernews, it blows my mind.
"Dumping" is an econ 101 term that means selling below cost in a foreign market to stop that market from developing its own suppliers - it's an anti-competitive practice.
How old are you?

Ageism would be one of my top concerns with regard to re-employment. It is also one of the biggest factors prompting techies to try doing their own thing.

Take a good look at your co-workers. What percentage are beyond middle age? This should give you some indication of your employment prospects going forward.
I would like to read the SF story fleshing this out!
If we could convince all the people who hate Electron to code GUI stacks across the major programming languages that exist, maybe then we could get somewhere. Electron just gives you a consistent cross-platform environment to develop GUIs on using one of the most well known and understood technologies: front-end web.
Go to the rural Philippines and you'll find plenty of homes without air conditioning in 40+ heat.

You'll also find westerners accustomed to air-conditioning who live there and have "adjusted".

It takes about 2 weeks and your body makes some sort of adjustment.

It's an interesting phenomenon that maybe someone here can comment on more fully. By that I mean what exactly is happening to us when we adjust? Is it purely psychological or are there actual biological changes/effects at play? Whatever it is you really do "adjust" and it's not that bad after a few weeks. You even learn to sleep well at night in sweltering heat...again after you adjust.

Of course there are limits but we're built to handle the heat.
I'm not sure to be honest, but the other day I got a popup asking if Google Search could link their data about me with YouTube and some other Google services, so I'm assuming there is at least some isolation between the services.

Not sure if that applies to suspensions though.
> they planted the US flag on it in 1969, so that technically made it US territory

Can you point me to which international law that backs this?
I gather many of those are mainlined now. Bootloaders might still be needed, but I would imagine the bulk of the customisations for a couple "major" platforms is sorted out.
I owned my own company for 10 years. When the business ended, I put myself as an employee of my own company (instead of the owner).

This is a great comparison to make. I hadn't really considered this before from the privacy standpoint, so this gives me something to chew on. Appreciate it!
Distributing sexually explicit material is subject to many tricky laws around the world. It's illegal in some places, requires age restrictions in others. It's reasonable for any hosting provider to say they are not going to get involved in that legal quagmire.
My suggestions were completely out in left field.
What's wrong with sexually explicit content? Is Google controlled by Taliban or something?
The last screenshot states her entire account was frozen and her work is not accessible.
Photons don't travel at all, yeah, in a literal sense. It's still useful to measure travel length in 3-space, but that's more an analogy than a real event.

In four-dimensional space-time they 'travel' along a 0-length path; the correct formulation of Pythagoras' formula becomes "distance = t^2 - x^2 - y^2 - z^2".

Which would be an imaginary number for a spacelike path, yes, e.g. from one side of your table to the other. It's a useful imaginary number -- we call it 'length' -- but it doesn't correspond to a path that actually exists.
> My point was that executives (share sellers) benefit and it creates potentially toxic incentives.

This seems like a good incentive. Executives of course don't have to have any shares, although they probably will, but that's not "toxic".

I know that toxic is now the blandest word in the language due to overuse, but even given that this seems distortional.
This doesn't work, but if it did, you could use it to front-run stock market movements. No need to go to space to find an application.
You can’t tell if a particle has been measured or not.
I've never quite grasped this stuff to my satisfaction, and I strongly suspect part of why is because of some really bad popular examples (metaphors, allegories, thought experiments, whatever) which contain factually or logically incorrect language.

This comment chain is a prime example of the ways quantum mechanics are (mis)understood and how many of us struggle to fully reason out the implications of each piece of it. I hope we can all learn something.
It’s not really a libertarian thing. Society has to balance more than just the wants or concerns of scientists and they have no more right than anyone else to dictate what we do with the moon.
Yeah going thru the process of 5-7 interviews just to get lowballed or ghosted is pretty draining. I’m guessing it’s just a tough market and I’m getting edged out by other candidates or companies have so many applicants they can offer less than I asked for during screening.
Respectfully, this is not being prepared. This is being too paranoid which is exactly what you cannot do if you want to start your own thing and take a risk. There never is a perfect time to do your own thing.
The market is really tough right now. I'm just starting to look for full-stack positions in London, this time last year I was receiving lots of offers constantly, but now it's a very different story.

I've so far only contacted one recruiter I trust, and even he only had one job I could apply to.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a full stack web dev in London (TypeScript, React, Next, Node / Bun / Deno, even a bit of Rust), you can contact me at https://www.lajili.com).
I wonder if Intel will end up keeping the money and not doing what they are supposed to.
No, you can’t tell if a particle has been measured or not _period_, without many identical copies of the same state and repeating the experiment many times.
Those should be "They Live" sunglasses instead.
This isn't even moving the goalposts, this is switching to water polo. You don't get to tally every cost of suburbia and then say that's the cost of people driving cars. The argument doesn't apply to someone who lives in a city and drives a car nor someone who lives in a rural town who drives a car.

You're really just arguing that suburbia is a drain on city budgets and I can agree with that, it's a drain on a lot of things. I think the reason it persists and gets special treatment is because a significant number of people consider it the goal and see themselves moving out of the city eventually.

But more generally people get so stuck in the idea that tax dollars will be spent on things that aren't for you. Am I the weird one that's unbothered by this? If your vegan you're paying for meat and dairy subsidies you don't use, if you don't have kids you're paying for schools you don't use, if your house is all electric you're paying for gas subsidies you don't use, if you're not outdoorsy you're paying for parks you don't use, if you're acab you're paying for police you don't want, if you believe that caging people is immoral you're paying for whole prison systems you don't want.
I agree that's frustrating, but I doubt Microsoft will be able to ever outdo itself with its .NET Framework/.NET Core/.NET naming convention nonsense.
Australia is transitioning >3% of their electricity supply to solar per year and still accelerating. Rooftop solar is near 50% uptake. Combined with wind, they are on track to almost fully in the next 10 years. So there will be soon.
I would argue that there is very little value to us of a few bacterial cells who might exist down some cracks on mars.

There will never be a time we have fully searched for life there, and even if there was something there to find, I think we could probably identify it even with contamination from us.
But the dialogue is really this:

>I want to study X and to do that I need Y. And you're going to give it to me because it might help our scientific understanding. Probably. Maybe.

Science overall is useful, but whether any individual part of it is useful is a lot more questionable. What gets studied is about what a (willful) scientist wants to study.

I suspect that people setting up something economically useful on the moon would actually end up being more valuable for science. It would mean that there will be economical access to the moon. If it's government-funded and science-led, then the whole thing might end on some political whim.
Wouldn't be surprised if "too much encrypted data" also triggers a ban because it'd stand out as unusual and a potential liability.
Warning is not possible, have you seen the amount of spam the web has?

What’s possible though is a better handling of these scenarios. Don’t lock me out of my entire account, but stop the specific service/action breaking the ToS.
Assuming you are unwilling to put in effort to identify enemy combatants or risk anything to do so, sure.
Part of it is feared censoring / demotion in the algorithms; part is hypersensitivity / hyperconsiderate, because some people have indicated they are triggered by certain words, and I'm guessing another part is maximising reach. That is, if you use explicit language, your content may be marked as 12, 16, 18+ content, and half your engagement may drop because people in comment sections seriously underestimate how much "engagement" a teenager with a phone and infinite time generates.
There is no shortage of practitioners, ie ~medical middle managers such as myself and other MDs/DOs/NPs/PAs, willing to work in the ER.

(In the narrative of one faction, the suits have in fact created a surplus of us, including docs, that will only get bigger in the next 5 years, possibly hitting n=10,000+ surplus ER docs by 2030. If that happens, a major reason for that in this narrative would be that the suits have directly funded more Emergency Medicine residency slots opening in that time than there are interested American medical students applying to the specialty.)

There is no shortage of bureaucrats willing to shuffle paper and create more work for themselves in the name of Quality or whatever. See this doc's blog for a relatively balanced take on this growth, but I do think there is truth to his first graphic: https://investingdoc.com/the-growth-of-administrators-in-hea...

In my understanding, there is a critical shortage of RNs willing to provide the actual hands-on patient care, for pay that will still turn a profit for the hospital.

This includes skilled ER triage nurses.

But the other side of the coin from labor shortage in this problem is, again, that hospitals simply are not reimbursed sustainably to serve many ER patients, particularly self-pay patients, in the non-literally-emergent ways that those patients should be served, would like to be served, or deserve to be served medically.

Ie, in my understanding the ER is often a loss-leader for a hospital that serves to get patients into higher-total-reimbursement clinics such as GI, cardiology, and orthopedics.

Again, I'm not trying to argue for any faction here including doctors/midlevels, RNs, hospital admin, or even patients. I'm just trying to describe the system from my view down my periscope over 8+ years of doing this.
Yeah. Turns out when you eat less your stomach shrinks and you need less food to feel satiated. What are you on about? You’re severely incorrect.
I'm curious what fraction of people who drive a personal vehicle into lower Manhattan on a regular basis are poor or middle class. What would your guess be?

Mine would be a tenth or less. When I lived in NYC the only people I knew who commuted by personal car in Manhattan were people who made mid-six-figures and lived in some NJ/Westchester suburb. Everyone else took the train/subway.
Opinions here seem to differ.

At least back in the few years ago day, you definitely have people who basically said you just contact some recruiters and you'll have a new job in a week or two. My personal experience (perhaps because of a wider range of roles and experience) is that every single job I've had after the one I got out of grad school has been through personal contacts and I've never once been in contact with a recruiter (aside from a few who worked for the hiring company).
Yes I've done that recently, too. But it's really something that needs to be done periodically.

By "figure out about email" I meant: where to move my email & whole life to. I'm thinking about registering a domain and taking up residence on another email hosting provider that lets me use my own domain.

I have started self-hosting my own photos on my own local NAS running Immich, with limited, controlled exposure via tailscale for when I'm out.
It's amazing to hear people arguing that the highest electricty prices in the OCED are somehow a sign of a working system: https://www.leadingedgeenergy.com.au/blog/highest-electricit...

Not only does the Australian market have the highest consumer prices it also has the highest number of negative pricing events.

In short: the only reason why the grid hasn't had a brownout since 2019 is because there hasn't been a major heatwave since 2019.
This might just be the sort of people and companies I hang out with, but at my last gig two of the other three developers on my team had failed startup founder in their career history. Ditto the product manager at my current role and some chunk of my local tech friends. Job market is always changing, but it hasn't been an obstacle for people I know, and when hiring I see it as something to talk about but not likely to be a problem.
I have a couple of these in hand. What they don't tell you there is you need to sign an NDA to get the most modern DECT versions of the software, because "it is still in development". I'm waiting for that signature now.

Also you have to dig through the data sheet to find out that the GNSS only works with LTE. If you want to use DECT GNSS can't be used, because it is part of LTE. Can't do both DECT and LTE at the same time.
n8henrie summarized it well. Its a basically a bandwidth issue. You might sign over 25 patients in 30 minutes... things get lost or miscommunicated which cascades to errors vs. being sleep deprived. Sick/new admissions get more time but still can only say so much. There is decent literature on signover tools to guide this process too. I used to joke second and third Mondays of working in a row should have a different name like SecondMonday and 3rdFnMonday. Thankfully never did a 3rd weekend in a row on call like that.
just because there is growth doesn't mean the average person will get to partake in it. The economic model will most likely have to be adjusted.
