Your understanding is mostly wrong under US federal and state law. Generally Board members are not personally liable for corporate debts. It is only possible to pierce the corporate veil in unusual situations, like if they engaged in criminal activity or illegally tried to put corporate assets into their own names in an attempt to hide those from creditors or violate a court order.
The irony there is that someone first had to learn enough Fortran to invent the FLPL (Fortran List Processing Language) system that went on to inspire the impelmentation techniques and terminology of Lisp.

Could you explain? If RCS works without carrier support, why would Google rely on carrier support in the first place? (It seems for phone number verification, they rely on SMS. I'm confused.)
It is very clear to me that that is a sentence reflecting the editorial interpretation of the paper rather than a direct quote. You might agree with the interpretation - I think I might - but that is very different from this specific sentiment being something Israeli leadership are openly saying.

Interesting they reference Forbes for this. Based on the title seeming wrong I found this from 2 years ago, from Forbes.

It mentions a mix, with the self-made ones outnumbering the inherited ones. While some will have aged out, the original post headline sounds a bit like rage bait.

Palestinians were given opportunities for self-determination in 1948, 2000 (Camp David), 2008, and 2006 in Gaza (blockaded by Egypt because of Hamas elected to run Gaza). In 1948, they along with 5 invading Arab countries tried to destroy Israel, resulting in their own destruction of their Arab state. In 2000, Arafat turned down a peace agreement with Bill Clinton starting terrorism that resulted in 3000 Palestinian and 1000 Jewish and Israeli Arab deaths, in 2008 Abbas turned down a peace agreement.

After 10/7 almost every Israeli knows that the Palestinians are not interested in their own state.

Of the 32,000 Hamas stated deaths, 13,000 are terrorists, thus resulting in a far lower civilian-to-combatant death ratio than in other urban conflicts such as Mosul.

The lesson learned with Japan in Germany in WW II is that total military defeat is necessary. The AI technology enables the targeting of all terrorists, not only senior-level terrorists as before, resulting in a quicker end to the conflict than otherwise and thus resulting in fewer civilian deaths.

As we know these terrorists hide among civilians including in and under hospitals, making these legitimate targets. The high number of civilian deaths occur from the terrorists hiding among civilians.
The idea is that the politically active homeowners follow their self interest when they support policy which discourages new housing construction, driving scarcity in the housing market to raise prices.
that's not true, you can launder money many ways without incorporating or even using a company...just one example would be paying cash for used vehicles and reselling them...or buying crypto mining hardware - that's just off the top of my head as someone with zero experience laundering. I have to imagine the pros are better at coming up with ways than I am...

> but it is unfair to act like Israel has some _clearly_ better or "right" choice that they're just ignoring

Let me first state I'm confused by that statement. I don't feel safe so that I will not only treat the people I live with them in the same house bad and kill them. I will take lands from my neighbors and kill some of them too. Likewise, I will have a right wing group in my house who want the death of all my neighborhood ethnicity [1]. And that's because of them forcing me to do that because otherwise I don't feel safe. Maybe you can do better.

If you want them to accept you then start by granting indigenous people their own land and don't build new settlements on their lands (800k in west bank alone) and share it with them (1967 international recognized borders) and return the Syrian and Lebanese lands. You try to play nice with them and advocate for your cause, you suffered in Europe, came as refugee and some of us living here with you (indigenous people) for centuries, and we can do it again. You stop bombing your neighbors, for sure. Furthermore, you don't elect right wing government who call for genocide of Palestinians (remember the motto of likud "from the river to the sea" ?)

> There is not a world where Israel could rest without fear of being attacked. The entire region would have to change drastically.

Yes, and of course this change will be sparked by killing tens of thousands and starving millions to death, occupying lands from most of the neighbors and build new settlements on them. Yes, that is very good and efficient way to make peace.

And what about the other side, did you stop to think from their preservice ? Why don't you think that they have the right to their lands and peaceful life without a nuclear-powered army occupying their lands ?

In the US, you are innocent until proven guilty.

In the US, you are innocent until proven guilty.

In the US, you are innocent until proven guilty.

Apologies for having to be obnoxious about it, but it deserves repeating.

If you take a approach of presumed guilty where the accused have to prove their innocence: you have a problem. You'd have a very difficult time proving your innocence after being accused of a crime. Anyone can accuse you of a murder that happened at 2am, and your alibi of being asleep won't cut it. Remember, in this bizarro world, it's presumed you are already guilty. You need to convince the prosector and jury you didn't commit the crime. Even if you had 4K night vision video of you sleeping in your bed, it probably won't persuade anyone because the prosecutor will say you pre-recorded the video to deceive a jury, and since you're presumed guilty, it makes sense for you to manufacture evidence in your defense.

This is why guilty until proven innocent is genuinely stupid.

Firefox's translation feature was built on Mozilla's Bergamot collab with Europe. It's an NMT as you note but it's also a set of language models trained on large language corpora using, among other techniques, the transformer architecture, so people calling it LLM translation don't bother me at all, and I'm the guy that brought it to Firefox (with my architect partner Andre Natal). The best article is probably https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/training-efficient-neural-... though that was before we started integrating it into Firefox proper.
In Tech the decade before last vast amounts of effort by some of the smartest people in the world was put into making people click ads; the last decade, blockchain nonsense. The next decade will be on using AI to destroy any last remnants of human connection, all the while we live in the holocene extinction event and the major governments of the world spend their time berating Palestinian children for not using their final breathes to condemn Hamas.

Are there reasons to be optimistic? Sure, but to suggest things are going well is to be beholden to some of the weirdest neoliberal freaks you'll ever see on the internet.

Stupid title, land use policies make everything that uses land expensive. I can assure you childcare being expensive is not bottlenecked by land, but by caretaker's wage levels driven by the fact that they need to rent in the same expensive location. It's equally expensive to hire someone into your home without the need of any extra land, but much less expensive if they live in.

The more complex stuff like graph traversal, topological sort has come up in just a couple of scenarios with scheduling. I actually had to implement my own topological sort one time. Caching and memoization is helpful and that’s more frequent, cache invalidation is hard. I used a queue last week and that always feels good! It’s certainly not a day to day thing.

I think a lot of developers, even ones that studied computer science, don’t see it as useful or relevant. I feel like that makes them underestimate what the modern computer is capable of and also want to reach to the next shiny object to add to the stack.

I have a different take

>Engineers have to pre-define and send all telemetry data they might need – since it’s so difficult to make changes after the fact – regardless of the percentage chance of the actual need.

YES. Let them send all the data. The best place to solve for it is at Ingestion.

There's typically 5 different stages to this process.

Instrumentation -> Ingestion -> Storage -> Query (Dashboard) -> Query (Alerting)

Instrumentation is the wrong place to solve this.

Ingestion - Build pipelines that allow to process this data and provide for tools like streaming aggregation, cardinality controls that allow to 'process it' or act on anomalous patterns. This atleast makes working on observability data 'dynamic' instead of having to go change instrumentation always.
Storage - Provide blaze (2hours), hot(1 month), cold(13 months) of tiered data storage with indipendent read paths.

This, in my opinion has solved for the bulk of cost & re-work challenges associated with telemetry data.

I believe, Observability is the Big Data of today, without the Big Data tools! (Disclosure: I work at Last9.io and we have taken a similar approach to solve for these challenges)

I empathize you. I am hitting the end of my 30's and for a while I felt lost in the sea of young-folks memes and platforms. I am not on Meta's platforms or TikTok, and I largely quiet reddit. I happen to find YouTube with premium a good content portal for my interests. I started gaming in the last two years after a good 15 years of zero gaming. The PC community is strong now that handhelds are accessible and most recent non-Apple computers can handle popular games.

I also agree with you on TikTok's value proposition – it is not unique – but like the previous networks before it, it has critical mass. That is it. It doesn't mean it will stay on top for a decade, but its heavy state influence (read funding) helped it stay afloat while it accrued users. And its existence and proliferation help enforce that - at least in the US - there is an open market for new platforms to gain mass popularity.

I would take AIM or Apple iChat or a static forum over discord, but the internet changed. I finally understand why folks 20-30 years older than me prefer less change. Adapting is hard.

I spent a good deal of effort 6 years ago to find an alternative in Denver, CO, that wasn't Comcast or CenturyLink. There are a number of business ISPs, but only a one or two residential ISPs. Verso Networks is what I got. Excellent service, but they were geographically limited.

In the suburbs of Denver, you have a choice of Comcast or CenturyLink if you're lucky.

[177]: "Police broke up the protest by force stating that, according to a police spokesperson, public safety was threatened by “anti-Israel and violence-glorifying chants” and the wearing of masks."

[13]: "“Hamas is already labelled as a terrorist organisation in Germany, but now Berlin will prohibit any activities in support of the group or its agenda,” Scholz said in a speech to parliament. The ban will apply to fundraising, the display of the Palestinian flag, and even the wearing of the Palestinian keffiyeh."

Here's a weird thing: I don't have any idea what saffron tastes like. Ignoring saffron rice (which to me seems exactly like ordinary rice, but yellow -- which probably means it didn't really have saffron in it?), I've only had dishes that include it (that I knew of) a couple of times in my life. Those dishes had many different flavors going on, so I couldn't tell which of those flavors were saffron.

I need to just get some and make a tea or something with it so I know what it tastes like.
I've been doing functional programming so long that I genuinely have a hard time thinking about how I would write things without recursion.

Like, I technically know how to convert a recursive algorithm to an iterative one, I've done it before on more resource-constrained stuff, but I don't like it. I think the recursive stuff is generally prettier and for 99% of things it's fast enough (and 100% if your compiler supports tail recursion, though you'd still be stuck maintaining a stack for most of the more interesting stuff).

Occasionally I'll do things to force myself to learn how things were done before I was born. I've been on/off hacking on a Commodore 64 game, but man I feel pretty grateful to be as spoiled as I am with fast, cheap, easy-to-use hardware.

I don't live in the city. Aside from not being able to walk to school, mine would have to wake up roughly 45 minutes earlier (60 minutes if we want to be safe) to catch the bus.

Except that Israel has no business engaging in armed conflict or "war" on a territory they occupy and control. That's the only legal issue that matters. Any armed conduct by Israel in Gaza is by international definition deemed ILLEGAL. There's no right of self defense when you're the predator.
How far back are you going? It was a problem in the 90s and early 2000s, even with multiple buses. It doesn't take very many parents to pick up or drop off at once to create a traffic jam.

Methane has a much shorter atmospheric half life than CO2-- years as opposed to millennia. It does end up getting oxidized into CO2 and H2O, just not nearly as quickly as when it's burned.

Leaks would happen to a small degree, but since a leak represents money drifting away there's a strong incentive to fix them. Methane leaks of any size are fairly easy to detect. There's been an effort to put up satellites for this purpose.

If using this technology helps us to phase out fossil fuels, it would be a huge net win. This could effectively let us repurpose all our existing natural gas storage, transport, and generation infrastructure into a battery to store surplus renewable or off-peak nuclear energy.

This could also allow renewable energy to be shipped as LNG, allowing the gigantic amounts of solar power in places like the Sahara to be harnessed and exported. The only other way to do this is extremely long distance superconducting or incredibly high voltage transmission lines that would probably be more expensive and very vulnerable.

Clearly, the world needs more Zuckerbergs.
I will try to answer that question. I think it's better to find the actual reason for what's happening rather than focus on the symptoms. Perhaps Israel could stop being an apartheid[0,1] and treat Palestinians equally. It could also stop imposing a blockade on Gaza[2] and allow it to blossom again and remove the need for supporting Hamas. It could as well allow Palestinians to exercise their right to return to where they or their parents lived [3].

It's easy to point the fingers at Hamas for the region's suffering but that is dishonest and completely omits the big role that Israel played in creating this and previous events.
