Fun and long-winded article, but the author fails to acknowledge the massive blindspot of his lens on overseas Chinese in America.

California is mentioned a total of two times in this entire article. Oregon and Washington zero times. The main character and adjacent are students who choose to live on the East Coast (not even New York City) and at universities with small Chinese student populations. Some of them become hardcore rednecks. The author has a main character who "doesn't like California" and mentions briefly only once a couple living in California. This is quite disingenuous or ignorant for an article that titles itself "How Chinese Students Experience America". It should be qualified as "White America" at the very least. Are Chinese students only capable of experiencing America by living on the East Coast/living in White/Black America? The experience of the majority of Chinese students living in Chinese America is not as valid as the minority who don't?

Try talking about the West Coast next time. Approximately 40% of ethnic Chinese in the USA live there in particular highly-concentrated areas. I guarantee there would be key differences that change the vibe of the story the author wants to tell.

> In 2021, there were more than fifteen hundred Chinese at the University of Pittsburgh, and around three thousand at Carnegie Mellon, whose campus is less than a mile away.

This is not a small number, but not as big as the author thinks.

Overall, I think the author is quite credible to write about decades of experience from teaching students in China, but his narrative on the Chinese experience in America is very unconvincing.

> Kefalos’s grandfather had come from Greece, and his father had worked as an electrical engineer in the steel industry. Many of his current tenants were immigrants. “My personal experience is that they are relatively hardworking,” he said. “And I think that’s true with most immigrants who come into the country. Whether it’s for education or a better life.” He looked up at Vincent and said, “My sense is that most U.S. citizens born in the United States don’t have any idea how fortunate they are.”

I roll my eyes at this closing bit on "Americans are born so fortunate", "American Dream" stuff.
Poison seems totally fair. Counterfeit tumeric can have high amounts of lead. Lead being one of those chemicals with no safe amount.
How Useful Are Interns?
I'm the founder of a seed-stage startup and need to expand the team (currently 5 people) — I'm considering hiring interns for growth, product, operations, and sales.

For those who have hired interns before (students / fresh grads), how do they compare to full-time hires, both in terms of output and time to productivity?

Do they produce quality work (in their first few months), or are they mostly for a talent pipeline? How much autonomy can I give them and how hands on do I have to be with onboarding / continuous coaching?

Cheers all for the thoughts :)

Egypt is categorically not closing their border to Palestinians out of fear of an Israeli invasion.
> The UK is now emitting less per capita than they did in 1879 and emissions have fallen 60% since 1970.

This is largely because industry has been gutted in the UK, the emissions for the UK population is simply occurring in other countries. Our green efforts have been better than many countries, but that’s not what has driven this large decline in emissions.
Funny story. One customer insisted on not whitelisting anymore sites, so I had to send the pings to slack, and monitor slack to update grafana.

There is no "the solution" to site monitoring. Eventually someone will need scripting to bridge a gap. Preferably python.
Sure. Only if you believe there was never a crisis in the first place as vividly described by the alarmists.
This is basically what all the headshot generator apps do. It is pretty simple to achieve if you can spin up GPU instances (https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.13.0/en/training/te....)

However, I find it challenging to achieve on Macbooks, despite all the neural core horsepower I have. If anyone has achieved this with non-NVIDIA setups i'd love to hear!
Wait till you meet some fun bosses. I actually hope you do
Interesting, I was expecting there to be some connection to the deblocking jpeg decoder knusperli.
> you should only worry about it at the boundary with the other library.

If this was a mitigation, it would solve all problems with nul-terminated strings i.e. do strict and error-checked conversions to nul-terminated strings at all boundaries to the program, and then nul-terminated strings and len-specified strings are equivalently dangerous (or safe, depending on your perspective).

The problem is precisely that unsanitised input makes its way into the application, bypassing any checks.
Could you expand on this or provide some reading material regarding regionalization?
Depending on how dedicated one was, it might work to dd the full contents of the affected disk to a larger one. Then expand the partition, expand the filesystem, and assuming everything is hunky dory, free up some space and reverse all those steps.
I agree with your general point but on your own screenshot:

- The recommended amount of trans fat is 0, a percentage would make no sense

- There is a total carbs percentage, so I'm going to guess again that the recommended "sugars" subcategory is likely unknown or trending towards 0

- There is no percentage for proteins and yet nobody would argue that it's a trick from big food so clearly there must be a reason why some rows have no percentage?
Thanks for the feedback! I actually had a ‘plandex diff’ command working at one point, but dropped it in favor of the changes TUI. I could definitely bring it back for people who prefer that format.
Additional automated systems, including one called “Where’s Daddy?” also revealed here for the first time, were used specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences.

this means they are actually targeting the children phones at night presupposing their father is in their proximity. they are doing this because Hamas operatives probably don't take their phones to their houses.
"Approachability" might vary somewhat but you might find the following useful;

* For an introduction (and a reference) to various areas of Modern Mathematics that one didn't even know existed, The Princeton Companion to Mathematics and The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics are a must.

* All the Math You Missed: (But Need to Know for Graduate School) by Thomas Garrity - A survey and a good adjunct to a textbook.

* Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning by Kolmogorov et al. - Classic text from the great Russian Mathematicians.

* Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics by Richard Hamming - Unique text from the great Richard Hamming (also checkout his other books).

There is plenty more of course, specifically; checkout "Dover Publications" texts, many of which are classics and affordable.
A gross projection, and you're out of your mind if you think peace is what follows that act.

For what it's worth I'm not suggesting anything, just pointing out the obvious fact that this war doesn't end with the whole of Gaza population being turned into martyrs. Looks to me like Israel responded exactly like the jihadists wanted in the first place with their attack.
Median disposable income is not the same thing as average wage/salary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_...

> the salaries were around $30-40k, but we could have paid much less if we hired someone from EPAM.

If pre-tax that's quite low, but yeah you might be able to find junior/equivalent engineers for this much.

Also I just realized that all the number I posted were in € and not $ so add another 8%.

Never implied otherwise.

I made another comment down the thread where I estimate this at 1.3 million gallons per minute if you want to have no more than a 1 degree C heating effect.

That doesn’t protect you against title lookups. You can go online, find a plot and see who owns it.
Q: What about teams which aren't all conveniently located in the same time zone, or even the same continent?

My OH is currently working with two unrelated groups of people, the first group is based in Sydney (GMT+11), the second group is mostly in the US with members from Boston (GMT-4) all the way to San Diego (GMT-7).
We have below setup.

There are Global, Org, Store, User level settings type of <string,any> each. User has the highest priority over others and values are read of highest to least priority and one final set of flags are fetched. When page loads we fetch them from cache(Browser + Backend - Redis) OR DB.

This works well with two tables in DB, CRUD APIs, UI for settings on various level.
Do you understand what an opportunity cost is?

Does the opportunity cost of driving fall if traffic decreases?

Is there an optimum amount of traffic on a given roadway for society?

Does society reach that optimum value on its own?

Does the current system (first come, first serve, best-effort) appropriately prioritize traffic with vastly different economic values and priorities appropriately?
They permitted larger numbers of civilians being killed in the pursuit of terrorist barbarics who raped and murdered and dragged babies with their mothers into underground dungeons, and praised themselves for that while hiding between civilians.
It's the former, but from what I read in the article, a shady version of that is my take.

The computer basically appeared to randomise a high number of people to kill based on a very shallow dataset, weak data linking and a high desire to kill people who are Palestinian.

It's hard to read the details from the Guardian article and think of it as anything other than a randomised Israeli state murder machine. I can't envisage it being accurate to a point any reasonable person would accept it be used against someone they know, in any circumstances.

That it targeted 10's of thousands is utterly horrifying. That it was involved in any actual battleground scenario makes me think those involved in it's creation and sale are culpable.
I think your linked EIU article uncovers a bit of the secret:

> Singapore and Zurich top the ranking as the world’s most expensive cities

Especially the emphasis on cities. At least in Denmark, living in a city is a lifestyle choice. It is fair to want to live in a city, but one can't cry the added costs of your lifestyle decision as a general trend.

For Singapore (and other city states) one is obviously not afforded the choice.

In Denmark you can live in what's considered a rural area with 30-45 minutes commute to most places in central Copenhagen.

Also, we need to be a bit precise: cost of living and housing prices, while related, is not the same thing.
It seems that you're claiming the only way to violate international law is to bomb all their people at once.

This is very wrong.

Targeting hospitals without clear proof of military activity is against international law. As is collective punishment, using starvation as a weapon of war, and many other things which are currently being livestreamed to the world.

If you understand a topic this poorly, why not read a little about it before 'contributing' to the discussion?

When even Tory lawyers are telling their government that they are arming a genocidal state and need to stop immediately or be liable for war crimes...
Net neutrality favours tech giants and allows them to extract more value than they give to ISPs. It also increases their power. It’s amazing how much they can influence public opinion to make people think this is actually good for them.
When have you seen ChatGPT write English like that?
Confused, why didn't you just expand the partition to begin with?

And I feel like that ought to be the lesson for power users: always leave a bit of slack space after your partition.

I read this as "it will be illegal to be tired of late messages from your boss."

> at least $100 per offense

How is that any kind of disincentive. That's just billable hours at a certain point.
Yeah Germany is kinda weird.

We had the voluntary option for employees to use their own phones. Until in Germany their "workers council" decided that as a company we should supply the tools for the job, and they wanted it to be blocked for employees to use their own phones. This caused so much anger with the employees because even though we already give everybody a company phone, a lot of people hate carrying 2 of them and simply stuff the work sim into their second slot and enroll it in the company MDM. On Android in particular the work environment is completely separate.

But for some reason this "workers council" is a total deity there. Even though the employees are represented the people on there are these overzealous crusaders that want everything done their way. We have this phenomenon in Holland too (called "Ondernemingsraad") but they don't tend to heavily-handed force things like this.

But whatever, the Germans can have their rules and regulations, I'm just glad I don't live there. I hate being told what I can and can't do.
What does Apple not want us to know about China and AI?
(English below.) Desverre kan jeg ikke si det uten å doxxe meg selv.

Men ja, det dreiar seg om eit norsk AS som var oppretta berre for å subsidiere ei hjartesak.

Litt som Dinamo reklamebyrå som ble opprettet som en mer effektiv måte å skaffe penger til Stabæk (kjent fra "Ona Fyr"-boka som var innmari populær for noen år siden), bare i mindre skala.

(Orsak for blandinga av nynorsk og bokmål, det er berre eit ein måte å lage ein sjibollet så ingen tek meg for å vere ein utanlandsk påverkningsagent med Google Translate :-)

---

Sadly I cannot say more without doxxing myself.

But yes, it was a Norwegian AS (Ltd?) created for the sole purpose of financing something they cared about.

A bit like Dinamo, a Norwegian advertising agency that was created by fans of the Stabæk football club (and made famous by the much hyped book Ona Fyr a few years ago), just at a smaller scale.

(Sorry for my mix of Nynorsk and Bokmål above, it is mh attempt at creating a shibbolet so Norwegians don't take me for a foreigner with Google Translate :-)
If that clause is true, then there is no point. All an employer has to do is insert a boilerplate phrase in the offer letter to the effect that the employer reserves the right to contact salaried employees outside normal working hours. Done deal. This bill is totally for show.
> both seem to come from a place of insecurity and heavily play up some positives while ignoring the negatives
> Or is this some weird alt-right Catholic White Nationalism fetish?

I see a lot of projection going on here. No, you were not talking about average disposable income you were talking about salaries for workers in tech. This is what you wrote:

> if you're working for a mass recruiter your mid-career salary will top off around the $8-20k range, which is Eastern European level, but lower than France and Germany (where it's around the $40-60k range).

The average salary for all employes in all sector in Poland is > $24k. Are you implying that you can hire tech workers or even software engineers for considerably less than the national average? Seems highly far fetched.

Was this an unintentional mistake or are you doing it on purpose. Considering the totally uncalled for diatribe about Polish(I'm neither Polish nor have anything to do with it for that matter) nationalism unfortunately it's probably the second?
Is this just for startups or are you building for growth companies as well?
Em. From the foreword:

> First, the interpretive Guidance is an expression solely of the ICRC's views. While international humanitarian law relating to the notion of direct participation in hostilities was examined over several years with a group
of eminent legal experts, to whom the ICRC owes a huge debt of gratitude, the positions enunciated are the ICRC's alone. Second, while reflecting the ICRC's views, the interpretive Guidance is not and cannot be a text of a legally binding nature.

The purpose and of the Interpretive Guidance is to provide recommendations, as the document itself states, in an attempt to persuade states. It does not claim to be authoritative.
This might be more of a searxng question, but doesn't it quickly run up against anti-bot measures? CAPTCHA challenges and Forbidden responses? I can see the manual has some support for dealing with CAPTCHA [1], but in practical terms, I would guess a tool like this can't be used extensively all day long.

I'm wondering if there's a search API that would make the backend seamless for something like this.

Waiting for Postgres 17: The new built-in C.UTF-8 locale
Trump's criminality is not of the same sort as someone running a drug dealing empire, or in this case a long term phishing scam.

He has a long running business that can't help doing criminal things with every now and then that then get fines. As such the criminality is just part of the normal mismanagement.
The same with chess and go. There are way too many move order combinations, but only a few thousand interesting ones.
The first time I saw the rock dam one, it blew my mind. Dude just went nuts and casually build hundreds or thousands (can’t recall and haven’t rewatched yet) of these mini dams over a lifetime and completely terraformed his valley. It’s really inspiring because there is something genuine there that is simple, cost effective, and scalable (to some not insignificant degree).

It’s crazy because some outstanding solutions like this are right here in front of us but we’re not really doing anything to aid or incentivize them.
If you're open to it, it would be great if you could make a post explaining how you built this. Even if it's brief. Trying to learn more about this space and this looks pretty cool. And ofc, nice work!
The euphamism treadmill never stops. Fat by any other name...
Likely didn't state it clearly enough in my original response, but that's my take too.

Also, why would Egypt let in those that might provoke conflict and war with Israel?

It's a fools mission, and one which Egypt was quite clear on in November/December it didn't want to embark on.
You dramatically underestimate the physical capability of the people you know. Humans are strong and humans are fragile. Every single one of them could kill another human in a pre-technological society.
There was a small game I play, one guy posted a picture of a plane ticket to the developer's country saying "I will come to your house with a gun. This is an actionable death threat". Nothing came of it, banned for one season.
It’s amply clear from reporting that the IDF has no formal RoE on the ground - low level commanders have full autonomy to kill whomever, whenever, with zero oversight.

The “AI” exists to retcon the justification for any particular genocidal act, but this is really just an old school mindless slaughter driven by anger and racism.
I'm with you - it would be better with more data (and the creator has stated he wants to expand to 500 companies, apparently that used to be the number prior to the most recent update which was a while ago).

It's the writeup he has in the "why" section that blew me away. A very sober and deep analysis of why we are where we are and what might be done about it.
Having lived in Iran for a bit, Saffron was indeed extremely cheap, we used to regularly eat saffron ice cream, and we frequently used it in sweets. I didn't even realize how expensive it was in the rest of the world until later.
I see they are going for the high-end market. Seems the right path to me, for now, since they can charge high prices for foie gras without the guilt.

We eat beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, because they taste good, and are cheap to make because we can domesticate the animals.

What if exotic meats taste better, but we can't eat them because the animals are endangered, or dangerous, or undomesticable. Maybe lion, rhino, elephant, koala, meats etc taste really good. Growing these meats in the lab eliminates* these ethical problems.

Or what if they taste good, but they are too tough? Again, cultured meat process can interleave layers of fats to break up the muscle. Another win.

Just look at the nuance between the difference in taste between lamb and beef. There's so much difference, and I see so much potential here to explore different flavors.

* or maybe just exacerbates poaching, if it's cheaper to poach than grown in lab :/
So much fun, but so much harder than paper targets. They move!
> people using the core SMS function on iPhones are automatically opted into iMessage

This isn't the case. you have to make an iCloud account and Messages settings has to be set to use that iCloud account.

Yes, you can do that by setting up a new phone with your iCloud account.

But -- surprisingly -- you do not have to.

You can set up and use most things about an iPhone without iCloud.

You'll be missing FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud Backup, FindMy, and a few other things, which are parts of "services" rather than parts of the phone.

// This is fresh in mind, as I recently bought a slew of "real SMS" phones for the workplace, since robo-fearing 2FA providers mostly refuse to work with e-SMS (and god bless vendors who won't use TOTP but think SMS is dandy).

> then get a worse experience when communicating with groups containing people who don’t have iPhones

And people who opted into email have a worse experience exchanging notes with families that don't have electronic devices.

In general that's how lowest common denominators work.
The way I’ve always done it is that I have client side event handlers that perform the UI-visible side of the logic client side, but also asynchronously request the server to do it.

In simple cases, that logic simple sets a toggle or whatever. In slightly more advanced cases it might modify something such as appending to a list. But in some cases it could be performing more complex logic such as applying a filter to a list. Sometimes this logic is only done client side (if the filtering is view-only for example) and sometimes both client and server. Basically, if you remove all of the network requests, it would still look like it’s working, more or less.

Of course only logic that is needed for data to be correctly displayed in the UI is needed client side. Performing logic that is only used server side (even if it has later UI effects — only effects that the user expects immediately need local representation) is unnecessary client side.

Eg even in a game, you might not want to run, for example, bot AI speculatively on every client but rather just the movement prediction like for other players, while everything else may be needed for rendering.

Off topic,but where did that gendering come from in your response? I am generally indifferent to personal pronouns but somehow this came across as particularly jarring as I guess it felt like a projection of misogynistic views of female weakness/need for therapy/emotionalness/etc. They/their might have been more appropriate here.
Assuming they're being forced to buy a large trunk is a big leap.

Maybe allow them agency and accept the possibility they want one?

The whole "I know a person's motivations better than they do" thing has gotten a bit out of hand.
