That's exactly what's said in what you quoted, even so far as putting the emphasis on societal effort by mentioning it first, so clearly I don't disagree :)
Woke people believe math is racist. They get people banned or fired from universities. I mean there have been N-treads about the latest woke idiocy on campuses across the states here on HN, why are some people always pretending it doesn't exist?
It might be me not getting it but all the charts seemed to have roughly the same percentage of people across the different types, given some small wiggle room.

It was never an obvious impact.

Am I getting it wrong or is it a tiny change that statistically is significant at huge scales of population?
I don't think the point is lace-tying; it's to demonstrate what is possible in terms of analogous tasks requiring a similar level of dexterity and environmental adaptability.

In any case, the real start of this show is clearly the shirt hanging.
Can't say anything for the impression you get from the style but I can at least say that GrapheneOS argues different things and differently on quite a few of the points made about F-Droid. They have also always been big advocates for open- source Android apps and explored/implemented F-Droid integration in their OS at points in the past.

I'm familiar with the PrivSec people and they are different from GrapheneOS with a tiny bit of community/mod overlap. There isn't any GrapheneOS dev presence in the PrivSec project.

> These used to be needed for their account portal to work properly but I don't know if that's still true.

Do not believe it is, as I have not needed these exceptions and can do bill pay, usage data, etc no problem.
As a college non-graduate, I think that is leveraging the strong data that for most people a college degree is a huge net benefit is reasonable.

As someone who was once <25, I think that version of me is stupid in a wide variety of ways. I hear you that it can be negative to divide things that way, but it seems reasonable to say “after you are either a non college graduate with a number of years of experience or a college graduate with ~2 years of post-college experience.

I hear you, though, it’s hard to sort people into buckets.
> On my properties dialog for the OpenSSH authentication agent, all of the buttons under "service status" are disabled.

Change the “Startup type” to either “manual” or “automatic” and some of those buttons should light up, if I am remembering correctly (I may be misremembering; I’ve been primarily a Mac user for over a year, now.)

> I need to stay in this realm.

That’s fine. PuTTygen converts ssh keys to and from OpenSSH format just fine, though, so it’s an option if you ever choose to explore it.
> The Israeli public is getting sick of the war, mass protests against Netanyahu and against prolonging the war and not bringing back hostages are growing from 0 right after the attack to quite populated right now in front of our eyes.

Eh. There's definitely less "enthusiasm" than in the beginning, but for the most part, even those who want a hostage deal don't see it as instead of the war, or at least not instead of removing Hamas from power. They mostly prefer the hostages to come first, but then Hamas to be dealt with. (I'm speaking of my general impression in broad strokes, but polls I believe back me up.)

> As for Iran gaining nukes. They will likely gain them if they haven't already gained them.

I don't think it's necessarily unavoidable, and I think it's well worth avoiding. Iran has repeatedly says it wants to wipe Israel out completely. If they have nukes, it will be incredibly hard to oppose them in a war, and they can much more easily make good on their threat.

It really is something that is an existential risk for Israel.

> What [Israel] should avoid, instead of Iran getting nukes, is losing so many world allies that nuclear armed countries abandon them or begin to oppose them.

I don't think it's an either/or. Especially since most of Israel's allies are also enemies of Iran, it's in fact quite the opposite - many countries are happy that Israel is doing the dirty work of actually dealing with Iran.

And you can see that in the unprecedented level of cooperation between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors, who had once been enemies of Israel themselves!

> Lastly, Hamas will not be "eradicated" or "eliminated" the same way no amount of American might and force could "eradicate" or "eliminate" the Taliban.

Maybe. It's a military and political question. I don't think it's a given. I think given enough time, and given a political solution for governing, Israel can effectively eliminate Hamas. At the end of the day, they are made up of specific people, possess specific weapons, etc. Once those are gone, they are effectively eliminated.

> You can't eliminate people's desire to be free or to secure their homeland. Israelis understand this when it comes to their own land, but fail to comprehend it when it comes to other people's land.

Most Israelis understand this. Hamas's desire isn't to be free or secure in their own homeland - Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, and Hamas could've turned its thoughts inwards on security and on building up Gaza. They absolutely had that option. They choose to use it to fight Israel.

I think everyone would've been better off, especially the Gazans themselves, if Hamas had actually tried to improve Gaza and had just... not fought Israel and not spent vast resources on this war.
“If I don’t sell my kidney,
I will be forced to sell
my one-year-old daughter.”

It's an odd sort of cognitive bias to conclude from this article that the selling of kidneys is the problem. You don't think they should be given the option of selling their kid or their kidney?

My takeaway from this article is that the market just isn't developed enough. If they were able to sell their kidneys to richer westerners then they could easily get 10x or 100x as much money.

In that part of the world that's easily enough to make the best way to extend your statistical lifetime be to sell your kidney. You'd get access to better healthcare for life, your children could get an education etc.
Have you made meaningfully more money from it after taking it down?

Were some of your servers in lead-lined coffins while others weren’t?

Jokes aside, that it seems really unlikely that cosmic rays would be clustered past, like, a couple hours, right? It isn’t like some neutron star is, like, tracking your server as the world spins (well, I hope not, I mean who’d you piss off for that to happen?).

Anyway, this fits my totally unscientific expectation that cosmic rays are just sort of like an informal description of hardware bugs that nobody can reasonably find beforehand. A server that seems to be hit by lots of cosmic rays probably has a dodgy connection somewhere inside it, but I mean maybe it’s the RAM, swap that out or replace it… but maybe inside the chip SOC, so what are we going to do, bust out the electron microscope to check all those connections?

I don't think that "fault", which I take as implying blame, had anything to do with the presentation. I interpreted it as very neutral in that respect. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it?

I do think it touches on how everyone is exposed to adverse outcomes, whatever category they are in. And I agree that it's a collective responsibility, although the presentation does a poor job of arguing the "collective responsibility" point.

That might be nice if someone would do it and teach others to use it. Some labs have an RDBMS-based pipeline with published algorithms and data that nobody wants to try to reimplement (and which nobody would be paid to do). About the best improvement we could get was moving from an ancient version of MySQL to Postgres + PostGIS. I think Timescale would have helped. There were other reasons also to run locally due to privacy, cluster access, funds etc.

Firefox View poorly duplicates functionality found in other places of the browser already. Meanwhile, the rest of the product just languishes.

Here's a fun thought: You have Firefox Android setup to sync with your Mozilla account. You have made the questionable decision to have 300 tabs loaded into that session. You made further questionable decisions to place your phone on a precipice about a ceramic tile floor. Cut to a few hours later, you're performing "new Android phone setup".

How do you recover those tabs? (No no no, there's three different ways of viewing Synced Tabs in Firefox Desktop and none of them let you bulk save as bookmarks; and no, Firefox for Android can't replicate them over or help you at all either). The answer, after 6 years of users asking about this, is to enable internal debug features and run a user script from some Gist on GitHub. .... seriously.

Meanwhile in addition to the new, disjoint Firefox View, there's the disjoint hodge-podge of functionality duplicated between the sidebar, library view, and Firefox Account "menu".

Firefox's product development and vision is one of the most infuriating of any product, open source or otherwise, that I use.

Also, the new Firefox View has the same completely BAFFLING padding that the settings and addon pages have expect its /not even consistent/!!? Just shrink the browser window and watch as 90% of websites out their properly adapt and adjust, but nope! not Firefox's own internal "new" pages.
The point is that once they are no longer compatible, people would standardize on the one that they're familiar with which is most likely the one that's running on their machine.
I agree you have to count that cost, my point was more like "if they are doing this to multiple people, it shouldn't cost the same as a VPS per person"
There's something odd about the way the arms move, like they are two distinct entities cooperating rather than being part of one coordinated mind. Maybe this is an example of the uncanny valley, or maybe it's because they are two physically separate arms, but it seems to me like one arm moves while the other waits for its turn. It's as if engineers programmed them to work sequentially. I wonder if it might be beneficial for engineers to study videos of humans doing these tasks and try to mimic those movements rather than trying to program a sequential procedure.

Whoa. Mind blown. Worth the infinite scroll and meandering presentation.

Condescending and pearl clutching read. I used the military to escape. Life’s tough, navel gazing and pushing college doesn’t help in the vast majority of cases. Everyone has adverse things happen, but not everyone makes the choice to start finding solutions.
The old /var/db/.AppleSetupDone trick. At least as of 2-3 years ago this still worked. I _think_ they've renamed the file since; I haven't used this in a long time. If I recall correctly that file became SIP protected so had to disable SIP to delete/create it.

Even with FileVault2/FDE, it was still possible as long as you could unlock the drive. Now being able to authenticate as an administrator privileged user is (in some scenarios) a direct proxy for demonstrating ownership to recoveryOS, blocking access to the Utilities menu. It's a clever strategy from a security perspective.

Mixed, mostly past, tense because I'm not sure if this still works in 2024.

I really like Redis, used it a lot in the past, but I just don't see a place for it in a modern, cloud-hosted architecture. A central cache just doesn't make sense in any scenario I can imaginewhen considering the cost/performance curve (my imagination might be limited though).
Being born into a situation where your problems are minor is a great way to be ignorant of how systemic issues affect people.

If a child shows up to school every day unfed for breakfast and without lunch money, right-wing states have decided that somehow their kid not having food is a motivational issue for the parent. And their solution for when a distracted, hungry student is unable to focus in class is to bring back corporal punishment and post religious texts in classrooms.

If it were merely a motivational issue for parents, then the child would already be fed. The political situation that made the most sense for the school district in which I grew up, which is a bright red area that is also a public education stronghold, was to dip into the budget to ensure that all kids got breakfast and lunch if they wanted it. That way it can't be framed as a political issue.

The issue was never about the benefit, it was about the race and class of people who received it.

Same thing with work. We have age-based workplace discrimination laws precisely because a class of workers who are over the age of 50 have been discriminated against due to their age and in lieu of other concerns. Those problems are outside of their control. Most people with 20+ year careers are unemployed for reasons that have nothing to do with performance, and they can't help what age they are.

This isn't authoritarianism. It's basic common sense.

Corporate tax benefits shouldn't exist.

Sidebery has been "good enough" for me to transition from Edge back to Firefox, but I wish you could put your Tab Groups into a named folder vs. just having some tabs nested under a "parent tab".
Almost certainly yes. It's entirely possible to make frequent cycling reliable, but it costs more. Higher cost is bad when the decision process is essentially "sort by price and pick the lowest."
The both broadly aim to solve similar problems, but use different mechanisms to achieve it. Both allow you to store the content of a file separately from the git repository, so that you don’t need to download every version of every such file that ever existed in your repository when you clone it. git-annex is much more flexible about where those files are downloaded from, however.
Solving Algorithmic Problems: Painting a Grid
The "subsidies" in this case in NYC were a tax rebate over 10 years tied directly to the number of positions created. The Empire program itself was meant to incentivize new offices to open in boroughs other than Manhattan to help distribute the load on transit and other services. Any company opening new office space was eligible, not just Amazon.

The only real "subsidy" in the NYC deal was a land grant where an old plastics factory used to be that required significant environmental clean up. The land is also next to the notorious Queensbridge projects.

Really considering we mostly work in this industry, the amount of ignorance surrounding the deal, its incentive structure, and how it went up in flames is staggering.

Even the talking point about how Amazon opened up new NYC offices anyways is completely innumerate, so far they've created about 1/5th of the positions that they were projected to create under the HQ2 proposal.
Lets just say that I feel "he copied" is more plausible than "theorem god whispered to me in my sleep"
> Subsidies (or anything which quacks like a subsidy) should be regulated so this nonsense doesn't happen.

1000x this. Every news story about these subsidies eventually becomes "we gave BigCorp a $5 billion tax break and they opened a facility that employs 50 people."
The idea that it's minimizing to point out that antisemitism emerged as a form of hatred on the basis of ones race, who one is inherently and born as, as opposed to one's beliefs or customs is really quite an absurd position to take and I hope you'd take some time to reflect on your overall position on this matter.
> You don't think they should be given the option of selling their kid or their kidney?

I think we can aspire to give our citizens better choices than "sell child or sell kidney", yes.
I think it's less about strengthening a monopoly and more about zero sum business models.

If AWS/Azure/GCP/et al. ran a cloud version of X and the main company supporting the open source project was a going concern, I doubt many would have a problem with the entire scheme.

However, in reality, every enterprise support dollar that goes through a third party cloud-managed offering is one that doesn't go to the first party.

In which case, what dollars are left to pay the independent company that creates and supports the software?

Granted, there are a lot of nuances to the above, but I think it's generally fair to say that third-party cloud companies are making more off managed open source offerings than they're paying to contribute to them.
