>Why is everything Israel’s responsibility?

Israel is perpetuating the status quo, and wishes to exercise sovereignty pver the territory. Doing things like disallowing other countries relief orgs to operate on the own. Given that, the UN is more than justified puting the onus on Israel.

>They’re fighting a war of self defense against terrorists who use the citizenry as human shields. Given those circumstances, I feel like they’ve done far more to avoid casualties and help the civilians than any other government/military would.

Fair enough. That is not a universally held view.

>What’s the UN’s responsibility in providing those conditions? What are the complaining countries doing to bring aid to Gazans or a viable ceasefire deal with release of all hostages?

Are you suggesting that the U.N. should unilaterally dismiss the sovereignty of a member state, and coordinate things themselves using the resources of other member states? As much as the prospect of an international intervention to the level of being the grandest and most expensive breaking up of a schoolyard brawl that would upset everyone involved in living memory; I'm fairly sure no one really wants to uncork that bottle of Pandora's distilled champagne.

>Many UN members like Egypt, Jordan, South Africa are all doing nothing to help but instead just complaining about Israel.

This is not a surprise. Israel is not very popular.

>Do they even care about the Gazan residents or is this just a political opportunity for them?

Sovereign. States. They can provide support, but they have to rely on the State undergoing internal strife to distribute things. Their experience dealing with Israel likely dissuades them from even making the effort.

>The article seems very vague - what specifically would cause the pier to fail? If distribution is a problem then isn’t it an existing problem that UNRWA has allegedly been handling this whole time? It’s hard to trust UNRWA and their claimed reasons. Some of their staff allegedly has ties to Hamas (which US intelligence confirmed), their buildings (like schools) have housed Hamas fighters, and aid funneled through them has ended up in Hamas’s hands.

Couldn't have anything to do with intentional bureaucratic delays, wholesale dismantling of normal infrastructure by the Israelis in their attempt to fight back against Hamas (an org Bibi is interested in keeping in power to keep himself in power).

Ticketmaster enables "scalping" by offering a secondary market on their own platform. They have a vested interest in this, and due to a lack of real competition they have no reason to realign incentives. Meaningful competitors could do all sorts of things that make a difference in this area.

Consumers are also the people running the concerts themselves (performers and whatnot) who have bad experiences with Ticketmaster but don't really have an alternative. Lower fees, non-exclusivity terms, etc.
Idk I wore old clothes in school even though my parents were well off and no one made fun of me. Different local cultures I guess.

Ask HN: ISO Interesting Startups in Warsaw
The wife and I have booked a summer vacation to Warsaw, and I've found Polish engineers to punch way above their weight class relative to what they currently get paid. So I'm curious to know what kinds of cool up-and-coming companies are there in its capital city.
There was definitely a kind of warm, optimistic vibe that came with the Windows XP wallpaper. The whole UI language of the OS was similar too, with bubbly blues and greens everywhere. I suppose it captured a kind of positive cultural attitude towards computing.
The idea that it's the purpose of college to prepare someone for a career is misled. I say this as someone who loathes institutionalized education, didn't go to college, and won't send my kids. It's your job to prepare yourself for a career. It's college's job to teach you what you pay them to teach you.

If they're going to college and getting a degree that isn't going to pay off, that's the fault of the schooling they've had up until that point, for not teaching them a damn thing about cost and benefit, and for pumping it into their heads that college is a ticket to an easy life, that you'll be a burger flipper til 65 without it and that sort of thing.

I agree with the author that helping people take out loans to learn something they should've learned in 8th grade and pretending it's higher education is extremely unethical, but if someone's going to college when they can't afford it and don't need it, the blame lies with the people that educated them about the world up until the point they made that decision, not with the college. Doubly so since those people were responsible for teaching them I'm the 8th grade.

>I think Lai's speech was not the most extreme because it contained little mention of "democracy vs. autocracy,

PRC doesn't care about democracy vs autocracy framing. It cares about sovereignty framing. It's the "changing status quo" part PRC cares about, the kind of language US strategic ambiguity would used to slap TW politicians for, but likely won't. So yes, this was an extreme speech relative to Tsai. PRC probably going normalize bigger slices past medium line.
> I LGPL my public work so that anyone is free to use it but if they change it, I need to get the changes back and decide if I want to incorporate them.

The LGPL doesn't do that. If that's what you want, you probably want to use a modified version of the MPL requiring distribution back to you. Note that, while the MPL permits such modifications, they are generally discouraged. Sadly, there are no popular copyleft licenses that do this "out of the box," to my knowledge.

Can AI companies which do exploratory talks with artists to use their likeness (vocal or otherwise) stop deciding on termination of talks to just go ahead and pirate their likeness anyway "for shits and giggles"

There is a wealth of difference between me, deciding to pretend to be Michael Caine "You were meant to blow the bloody door off" and me, as an employee of a $B company, making product which sounds like Michael Caine in sold services.

C'mon. I get the "genie/bottle" problem and I also get that the quality behind "sounds like" may be hard. The "can it be constrained" problem is really second behind "should OpenAI/Altman and co have to pay for their stupidity" in my book. If they didn't expect to pay, why did they even spend time exploring how to pay? Intentionality is big in this.

Guinness got done for running a comp which aspiring video artists entered, and then using the IPR inherent in the mini movies to reshoot the ads, no payment. OTOH the BBC stole the entire concept of "the games" from the team who did the original for the ABC, and nobody wound up in court although I think the production company thought about it. Sad really.
Our existing knowledge representation systems can already deal with this. This is beyond my field of knowledge, but I guess a better example of a problem we can't solve easily yet would be achieving paraconsistent logic; A logical system that can deal with contradictions without falling into the principle of explosion.

Like I said, this is some very abstract stuff that delves more into philosophy and mathematics that not many people are going to doing. The kind of system that people are trying to build here would be close to a "Theory of Everything".
Oh, and in case you are wondering: comments via the app are exactly the same as comments via this web site.
What is needing is rather than "end-to-end-encryption", is user-defined encryption; i.e. you can use your own software for encryption, instead of (or in addition to) using whatever the service provides. This encrypts the messages regardless of what the communication services are doing (or are claiming to do).

HTTPS will only prevent spies observing or altering your communications; it does not prevent the service that you are communicating with (or whoever owns them now) from adding malware, etc.
Ah, I guess I misunderstood the part about writing the complete copy. The data isn't really written, it's just abstracted access to multiple chunks.
Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?
I've been using a Macbook with Samsung android for a while and I usually use something like Pushbullet to sync some notifications.

I also use the low-effort way of sending files to my WhatsApp on either device in case I need something quick.

Of late I've discovered PlainApp which has made managing files on my phone easier.

Weirdly enough I've found doing this using Google Drive the most cumbersome way so far. It just feels so difficult for some reason.

Looking for any tips or suggestions anyone that anyone has tested out that works for them.
There aren't that many conflicts, really. Is the up arrow escOA or esc[A? Doesn't matter. If you're reading from terminal, just map both to up.

I was expecting a GitHub repository with the data and processes. Instead, I am seeing this long text, (re)phrased by ChatGPT.

So here is a GPT summary of that long text

The text categorizes Y Combinator (YC) startups into three areas:

1. *Driving Efficiencies*: These startups improve existing markets with better, tech-enabled solutions, often disrupting current players.

2. *Removing Limitations*: These startups serve underserved communities or address new problems using existing technologies, such as FinTech in developing regions.

3. *Advancing Technology*: These startups push the boundaries of innovation with new technologies that transform industries, offering high rewards despite high risks.

The author critiques venture capital for being risk-averse and suggests a more proactive approach to nurturing deep tech and ambitious funding models.

A full version of BASICA.EXE is included in the Program folder with the zipped DOS .BAS program files if you download norton120's package.

This BASICA.EXE is the full 79kb GW-Basic 3.22 copyright Microsoft 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987.

A different version I have been using for decades is 78kb and launches with a different text header: COMPAQ Personal Computer BASIC Version 3.31 copyright Compaq Computer Corp. 1982, 1988. Copyright Microsoft 1983, 1987.

Thought to be equivalent but doesn't say anything about GW-Basic on the Compaq one.

I use it to run a program I wrote decades ago to calculate caustic soda according to reporting standards that were already arcane at the time. And GW-Basic was the "new Basic platform" for the IBM PCs and compatibles that looked like they might be here to stay by about then, and beginning to show up in a number of offices. My code was originally written in 1980 on a Hewlett-Packard gas analyzer designed in the 1970's. Even though caustic has nothing to do with gas commodities I was so fortunate to have a benchtop Basic instrument I could do anything with, and caustic was just calculations.

Once PCs got more powerful and proliferated I waited a few more years before converting caustic code from HP-Basic to IBM-Basic. HP-Basic was two optional ROMs that cost $1500 you plugged into the instrument PCB. Early IBM-Basic was still ROM-based too, this is the one that was launched from DOS using the 4kb BASICA.COM (rather than basica.exe). So it's the basica.com (sometimes renamed to basica.exe !) that doesn't work when you try to run it, because it is really meant for the antique motherboard with the specific ROMs. If you have both basica.com and basica.exe in the same directory on the command line in DOS, and you type in just "BASICA" without the extension it will run the .com if present (and errorfail with Incorrect DOS Version) rather than the full executable.

In the late '80's once it looked like GW-Basic had good penetration, made the final tweaks to my code and ran it under DOS 5, DOS 6. Booted Win3.x and W9x to DOS whenever, and since NT5 just works in a Windows command instance as long as you don't try a 64-bit version of Windows.
This has chicken/egg qualities. Sloths may have poor eyesight because the energy burden and genetic expression behind better eyesight doesn't pay in their niche, but that could imply it's the downgrade option after they slow down, not the input condition which led to slow lifestyle.

Similar to why some small things become giants and some giant things become smalls, it all depends on the niche, and the input conditions before transformation through time and genes.
I agree with everything you’ve said, and to add to this why they do this without caring about the company future is because in 99.9% of the times the ones taking decisions aren’t founders who have a soft spot for the company. Those are long retired in the Bahamas. The leaders come and go quite frequently and the good ones that have been here for a while are ready to retire which means the bigger the boom is before they leave the better, with 0 regard to what comes after them.

There are plenty of ways to do it such that the verifier doesn't know why they are verifying and the relying party doesn't know who was verified.

As far as I understand, the ISO 18013-5 mobile drivers license standard (which appear to be being implemented across a bunch of US states, including California[0]) seems to allow for each fact that appears on your license to be individually signed so that you could store your ID on your phone, and then when prompted, provide only your birthday or only an "over 18" marker that's signed by the state.

The service provider could then not keep any records except to mark your user as a verified adult so in the future you can just login.

> Injecting random data into any protocol will break it.

It shouldn't, unless you're bypassing the actual protocol serialization layer (or hitting a bug in the implementation). Which is what's the case here. Protocol design can't address the case of users just writing out some bytes and declaring it's a valid protocol message.
"My closest friends and news outlets" doesn't include family. Also, depending on how you ask, it's pretty easy to get any response. I wouldn't rely on that information.
>even with an old 8 GB AMD card

That's the main bummer here, not the age of the GPU, but the need for a dedicated one.

When most people nowadays have laptops, and only with integrated GPUs to boot, that's a large demographic being excluded, even with new machines.

Maybe with the new gen of chips with NPUs from Qualcomm, Intel and AMD this will slowly change but they just dropped and I personally won't exchange my 9 month old laptop for a new one just for that feature alone, and I suspect most PC users will behave the same considering the multi year long upgrade cycles in this market.

So it will probably take a long time till on-device generative AI becomes mainstream on the PC.
This is a good and safe practice. And I think most people do it this way after cleaning up the mess of a badly built tarball at least once :)

There's no object in Clojure, so there's no need for an Object Relational Mapper. You just work directly of the query result sets, which the SQL library itself can conveniently turn into rows of maps if you prefer (over rows of lists).

I think it was aimed at making the OS look less threatening and complicated to a new user. Then again, people did complain about it being a "Fisher-Price UI", so maybe this overwhelmingly positive perception is a result of people spending so much time with the OS and getting used to the way things were.

Reputable agents and outsourcing firms offer exactly this service: already vetted candidates who can bypass interviews. That works because the agency or outsourcing firm can bear contractual responsibility for performance. Recruiters and online job boards don't have any skin in the game, and therefore don't deserve any trust.

I work through an agency, haven't done anything resembling a modern tech interview in 15 years.
