> Secondly it's not "taking advantage" in a pejorative sense. It doesn't make other people poorer.

Maybe not by itself. But by reducing risk, it also reduces accountability which allows people to take advantage of people in other, often illegal or unlawful ways, without any meaningful consequences when they get caught.

In the OP, the owner of the business has caused multiple deaths through negligence, but at least from the contents of that article there hasn't been any meaningful consequence.
Can we create remix music with this ?
I just want to decode this for a random reader:

- dealt with harshly -> torture and summary executions. Tied with a rope to a car and dragged through the streets. Thrown from a rooftop of a tall building. That sort of stuff.

- "Suspected collaboration with the occupier" -> being associated with the Fatah, PA, or just not doing what Hamas orders you to do in any civil or other matter. Basically any person that crosses Hamas members in any way. Think Mexican drug cartels hanging journalists from bridges and you won't be far off.

- occupation -> the existence of the state of Israel in any borders. occupier -> Israel.

- Gaza's occupation -> The blockade Israel imposed after Hamas took over Gaza by force and started launching attacks at Israel from Gaza. Please ignore the border with Egypt or Egypt's control over the Egyptian half of Rafah. Egypt doesn't exist. Waiting for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over there but in the meantime let's support ISIS in Sinai since an enemies enemy is my friend.

- "Israel routinely cuts water supply to the Gaza strip" -> Israel supplies water, food, electricity to what is essentially an enemy state that attacks it continuously. Gaza has its own power station, it has a desalination plant, it has wells, and it can also get all these things from Egypt or use the international aid money it's getting towards becoming more independent. Nah- let's dig tunnels and build rockets. Think Ukraine supplying Russia with water, food and electricity. Or South Korea supplying North Korea.

You are right that Hamas would win an election. Even more so after Oct 7th. The Pro-Palestinian crowd does its best to pretend it ain't so. They artificially separate Hamas, who the Palestinians want to represent them, from the Palestinians. Palestinians are peace loving people that need to be protected at all costs and the Hamas are people from another planet that just happened to have landed in the midst. There hasn't been an elections since 2006 so Hamas is not the legitimate government of Gaza and so we can't treat the Gazans as a side to this war. Even Israel says the same thing, our war is not with the "Palestinians" our war is with Hamas.
> there's still no way in hell they'd get 30,000 people inside

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that would be physically impossible, unless they are planning on hosting most of the conference on the grounds, parking lot and maybe surrounding streets.
Just an assumption. There are very little reasons for a person to carry out such an attack but it’s still possible

Unironically very good. A convincing replica of Miku's voice. Plus the beat itself is great too. As another commenter put it, it is indeed, a banger.
Let's say you undergo medical procedures to cure it, (chemo, surgery, etc.) and end up dying from a complication from it.
Does that still count as a prostate cancer death (the 5%)?
This is so common, and has been for a number of years.

As an owner of a website with a lot of content published over the years, a copyright claim pops up with "settlement" offers between $200-$1k to make it go away.

50% of the time it's an outright scam like this.

45% it's legit, we pay the settlement, and a writer gets a reminder about citing images and copyright.

5% is the worst, where a photographer will have a open license like CC BY-NC, then a law firm will contact photographers with images licensed like that, and partner with them to send demand letters to businesses improperly using the open license and do the settlement shakedown.
While technically in violation because we're a business with ad revenue, it's nefarious because it's exploiting nuances of open licenses and writers on schedule missing the NC part of the license review. We get it right most of the time, but mistakes happen. Feels dirty to leverage CC to make money doing copyright shakedowns.
I own a hotel. 20k per year robot that cleans bathroom will save me 20k.
About 40 years ago my father, an oncologist, told me there were two common types of prostate cancer, the fast growing type that kills you and the slow growing type that doesn't. We've learned a lot about it since then, but that description is still essentially true.

It causes 30,000 deaths a year in the US, which is not insignificant - in comparison breast cancer kills 40,000.
I overall like the approach for complex scenarios but their example is not the best one. The original version is much more readable and their final version adds mostly noise.

Also, in documents all images and tables should have descriptive captions. So their header with title and subtitle would be redundant.
What kind of auto mower?
On macOS/iOS I like Apple's suite of apps (and its desktop-mobile integration), and arguably Google's advantage is that it's web-first so it works well on cheap ChromeBooks that you don't think twice about replacing when they are lost or broken.

And Teams is a clunky Electron app.
I can flip laundry in the time it takes you to fetch a coffee from the break room, unless you strike up a conversation while you're there.
I'm presuming that intelligence about the exact location of targets in a ruin is going to be far less precise and starvation and privation are going to start killing faster than bombs. Ironically the armed gang will probably weather than particular challenge than the general population. Incremental improvements in number of combatants dead is going to come at the expense of a much larger contingent of dead civilians.

Hamas was I believe said to have what 50,000–60,000 fighters. By the time they get to the halfway point half the population will be dead.
It is hard to say and we often debate how to value things in the churning community.

I take 3-4 transcontinental business class trips a year and heavily exploit the sweet spots of airline programs. The cash equivalent price (booked well in advance, so not just last-minute flights) of my travel is probably $30,000 a year. I just Australia on points, with lots of little stopovers in a few other countries.

Whether you value it as much as $30K is debated, as some people say you should value it at what you would otherwise have been willing to pay for the experience. You also have to factor in that award availability is limited, so it is nowhere near the same as picking dates and going. Your points and availability heavily shape where you go and when, which is fine for a curious about everything person like me, but messier for those with specific needs.

I have a colleague who does the same thing, but is lucky to get $4000 a year from a similar pile of points as he wants to use them all for his family to Hawaii for Christmas and he is just flying economy. The variably in value is tremendous.

Plenty of cards can also be churned for straight up cash. There are people pulling 5-8K in cash off of them a year.

The other advantage is that is all after tax. You don't pay tax on any of this.

> attention you need to pay to sniff out good deals

That is why you join a community like /r/churning. There are also lots of Facebook groups as well. Crowdsource the work!

> not hurt your credit score

Depends on whether you need it. Also, I found that my credit score became pretty stable after I got some 15 cards. New applications change it by 10-20 points now.

> remember how to balance charges across cards.

I personally got the hang of this rather quickly, as you just have 3-4 at any given time (the rest are "sock drawered" until it is time to cancel) and pull out the appropriate one. Some put post-it notes on what each card is good for.

As for the billing, companies send digital reminders now.

According to wiki here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_cities_by_GDP) Munich in 2021 had a per capita GDP of 86k euro. According to wiki here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_states_by_GRP_p...) Schleswig-Holstein had a per capita GRP of ~42k euro in 2022 (note that the years are different). So these figures suggest that Munich is roughly twice as rich as S-H, which they list as below average for the BRD, as the 8th richest of Germany's 16 Lander.
I took German in high school (back when I was on slashdot), I actually had tests on where all of the Lander were, I know a few things!

Ha! We buy bananas every week, my daughter and I love them.

2 bunches of bananas cost 3,10 EUR [1]

2 bunches of organic, fairtrade bananas cost 4,38 EUR [2]

Since AFAIK there is one genus I just buy the regular ones. Since we eat one bunch of bananas a week, it is about 6,4 weeks of bananas.

My bananas come from South-America. They have to travel further than the ones going to North-America. So they should be cheaper at your place (US?).

Then again, you pay nothing for gas, so it evens out :P

A substantial fraction of households that can afford Apple devices likely owns several of them. So if Apple wants to multiply their revenue, they need to create products with wide appeal with margins (in raw numbers -- not just percentages) comparable to their current offerings i.e. margins of $1000+ per household. That might help understand the kind of products they are pursuing.

Apple is uniquely situated (cash surplus, deep tech + manufacturing expertise, consumer product + marketing expertise) to take on such multi-year product-oriented R&D. Even if one out of N (serious) attempts pays off, the scale of success will justify the amortized ROI.

I'd run into this situation earlier this year, on MacOS, though in my case the restore from Time Machine backup did work.

But I found myself in the exceedingly frustrating and confusing situation of not being able to free space by deleting files:

- 'rm <filename>' from bash

- Emptying Trash.

- Deleting ".Trashes" directories.

- Booting single-user and attempting to delete files.

- Booting to the Recovery system, invoking terminal, and attempting to delete files.

- Attempting to remove snapshots using the 'tmutil' utility, either booted normal, safe-mode, single-user, or rescue. Best I can tell, tmutil simply would not run under single-user or rescue modes.

Final solution was to repartition the hard drive, re-create filesystem, reinstall the OS, and recover user files from Time Machine. This ... took a while.

My take-away is that MacOS behaves exceedingly poorly under any number of high-resource-utilisation modes (memory, CPU, or disk usage).

For me, if we were to invest in rail infrastructure at scale, we could create benefits so undeniable that even the disgruntled landowners are ok with it.

We did exactly that with freeways, and freedom-lovers generally view the open road as a vast source of individual opportunity, not a symbol of the crushing boot of government. Should we not have done that?
Having spoken before with some logistics folks/route planners for large trucking outfits: Its a tricky problem in that it's hard to keep the clearance data current.

An example I was given was that routine road maintenance might include resurfacing a stretch of the route. If some asphalt wasn't ground out beforehand, that new lift reduces the height from the road surface to the bottom of the bridge by a couple inches. If that was all the margin you had, clang!
I know there are plenty of hyper puritanical people who would disagree with me, but I feel like people really embody the ship of theseus paradox. We're just not the same person we were decades ago. I really don't care if you were running around dealing drugs, robbing banks, stealing cars or whatever two decades ago. If I found out one of my coworkers was a career bank robber I'd just want to get a beer and hear the crazy stories.

Sort of unrelated, but, VB scripting not working on web versions felt to me like it really killed a giant moat of legacy code to draw from.

If you're forced to script in something else then why not just go to something else. Additionally, having tons of forms written by long gone employees just not port over is a tough sell at smaller offices.
Not to be crass but “sounding” would be most likely to provide urinary relief as this widens the urethra within the prostate gland. This is absolutely not medical advice, just a follow-on to your quip.
Interesting, I hope they continue the interface guideline effort and are successful putting them into practice in their system.

One thing that Apple did well, as far as I can tell, was getting application developers to abide by the human interface guidelines, which made for a more consistent and seamless experience across apps.

In the modern hellscape of web apps, every app has its own appearance, interface, behavior, data formats, cloud storage system, etc. Moreover, control is strongly with the app developer/service provider rather than the user. Web apps routinely disable or alter standard features like cut and paste, or going back after clicking on a link. Upgrades are often forced and full of bewildering changes....

Which means that even if Apple (or HelloSystem) could force every desktop (or mobile) app developer to obey its interface guidelines, it would have no effect on the many web apps which people will still have to use.
This cracks me up. I had the privilege of working on a team where about 5 or 7 of us out of 10 were extremely picky about code and documentation, all different nationalities. We would sometimes argue about a word in a doc for hours and didn't get a whole lot done. Feelings were hurt a lot, but what we did get accomplished was very high quality. I've also worked on teams where we were all cowboys and would sling code just about as fast as we could type it.

Both can be fun, but as you probably already know there is a balance.
So don't be fooled. The cloud computing business model is a lot like a gym. I.e. they already have the capacity in place, so they need warm bodies. A lot of those cloud ramp up, is in the form of rebates or giving money to customers to move between clouds.
The profit cap is an interesting idea in theory, maybe it would discourage some people who go into it hoping to make infinite money but maybe that is for the better.

Regarding software, true, we can’t limit what people build with it if you open-source it, we sort of do not think about it (I wonder for how many people it is an issue secretly).

I think it is similar in art, however. Fanfics are generally tolerated, unless you do something the author specifically dislikes or try to compete with the original. In Japan I think it is also legal to sell them (see dōjinshi) unless the copyright holder specifically complains (which they do not tend to). But using Middle Earth in a commercial ad for a car, for example, is insta-lawsuit.
AI Art is second-order human art. From this viewpoint it's still human by proxy.

And anyway, is it measurably different from art produced while tripping on LSD or in similar states of altered consciousness, such as schizophrenia, dementia, or even depression, which often produce things many people would not describe as regular?
> Main deployed but has a "partial malfunction" (out but not fully open), reserve then deployed and tangles with the main.
This would be the instructors fault - in this case they should cut away the main before deploying the reserve.

I’ve done a “solo” skydive where you jump out with 2 instructors and then they pull the line and you’re on your own. As a part of the training, we just had one motion (if I’m remembering right) to jettison the main and switch to reserve. Is that a potential configuration or do I have it wrong?
Can I just point out the hilarious disparity of punishment in this statement:

>Matthew David Keirans, 58, was convicted of one count of false statement to a National Credit Union Administration insured institution — punishable by up to 30 years in federal prison — and one count of aggravated identity theft — punishable by up to two years in federal prison.
A combo at In-n-Out is around $7 IIRC. And that's in California.
Apple Pay also fills all of your address information when you buy online. You can tap Apple Pay, double click the side button and done. Trusted devices are the basis of Apple 2FA, not a phone number. All of your information stored with icloud (aside from email and calendar) can also be encrypted such that if you lose your recovery key and passcode, your data is gone forever. That’s the best online security available in a consumer device.
Ask HN: Open-source Windows 11 backup solutions
I am currently using BackBlaze to backup my Windows 11 Pro gaming machine. It works great and the diff/delta algo is surprisingly good. The downfall is of course pricing of $9/mo.

Are there any good open source alternatives to fully backup Windows 11? I have 4x 2TB SSDs just waiting to be put to work.

I run both pfSense and OPNsense, one on each side of my IPSEC tunnel. The pfSense since 2018 and the OPNsense since 2021, when pfSense looked like they were moving away from the open source series (that is now at 2.7.2).

It was a win-win to be able to explore both. OPNsense feels a little bit less reliable because they often release (once or twice a month), but also often break things (it was always possible to solve this pretty fast, or patches appeared).
I do not have a preference for the interfaces - I feel like I am finding things faster in pfSense, but that may be because I simply used it longer. Both are quite good.

pfSense is slow to adapt features (e.g. Wireguard), but concentrates on the important basics. It is a solid software that never left me, it never crashed and survived where I expected otherwise.

Given that I trust OPNsense a little bit more (because the maintainers communicate their goals clearer), I am planning to slowly phase out my pfSense and first move it behind another OPNsense box, as an internal second barrier behind my public WAN net. This may change though, I am planning the migration phase to happen between 2025-2027. Right now, it feels good to have both worlds.
Couple of reasons: Meta's annual spend with AWS is large enough that they'll have a negotiated blanket discount that takes a fixed percentage off the top of their monthly spend. This is very common for larger AWS customers, not just Meta.

For instances specifically, any planned usage will be using either reserved instances or at minimum a compute savings plan (CSP) that drops the hourly rate dramatically in exchange for a committed number of instance hours, with or without an upfront payment.

Finally, there may be a negotiated rate for specific instance types built into the contract. Again, common for very large customers.

source: I was on one of the cloud-related infrastructure teams (left in early 2022). I have no idea about their spend (or discounts) today, but two years ago it was enough that Andy Jassy would meet 1:1 with Mark to "discuss the relationship".

Breaks are a normal part of work. Smoke breaks, standing up and stretching your legs outside the office or going for a short walk, pomodoro breaks, coffee breaks, water cooler breaks, waiting for a build and reading a news site or just browsing the internet, etc.

The only difference here is sticking something in the oven instead of drinking coffee.

And I'll add, with remote the start of day and end of day work times become less well defined, so I think many people end up working more spread out hours at times that are more effective for the company (e.g. responding to late night pings, if they happen to be near their computer).
This a good article with some fascinating history.

More recent history involves the production of CALS tables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CALS_Table_Model. The company Datalogics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalogics was heavily involved in the CALS table initiative. Datalogics staff was part of the ISO committee forming SGML, and trained many people on SGML, including DoD staff and their contractors involved with documentation.

I was involved with the team that produced an editor for SGML-based documents. It had as one of its features the ability to specify the formatting of an element based on the SGML context of that element. This was before XSLT and its kin.

Alumni of Datalogics helped Microsoft learn about XML ("No, you can't arbitrarily switch case on XML element tags").

Also TeX practitioners have pretty well-formed opinions about how tables should be formatted.

Odd side-note: I learned that the documentation for a fighter airplane of the time, if printed out, would weigh more than the aircraft and would fill a football-field sized collection of filing cabinets.

And as much as many today don't like XML, coming from the SGML world it is a boon.
