If Israel wanted to genocide the Palestinians then it would have been a smoking pit with nearly 100% of the citizens killed inside of a month.

To the ecstatic delight of a substantial proportion of the Israeli public, no doubt.

However it doesn't actually have the munitions stock to do that, and plus, it would be bad PR and make the area more costly to re-develop as a prime real estate attraction. So instead it has opted the more "pragmatic" option of removing the indigenous inhabitants. Which is another form of genocide, just a softer, more palatable one.

If your product going down for an hour will lead to the loss of millions of dollars, then you should absolutely be investing a lot of money in expensive distributed and redundant solutions. That's appropriate in that case.

The point here is that 99% of companies are not in that scenario, so they should not emulate the very expensive distributed architectures used by Google and a few other companies that ARE in that scenario.

For almost all companies on the smaller side, the correct move is to take the occasional downtime, because the tiny revenue loss will be much smaller than the large and ongoing costs of building and maintaining a complex distributed system.
That depends on how much more efficient solar panels get and what future energy requirements are, but in any case it'll be worse to scale energy creation with solar than with nuclear.

>For instance contraceptives have been widely available in many countries with healthy birth rates for an extremely long period of time. South America is full of such examples, as well as women who have long since played a major role in the labor pool.

It takes time for the knowledge and culture about birth control to spread. South America specifically had a lot of Catholic influence which probably prevented many women from choosing or obtaining birth control.

Also, modern birth control like IUDs are just a whole different beast. Whereas there were “accidental” pregnancies in previous generations, there are almost none these days unless you are aiming to become pregnant at some point.

Fair enough about Russia, but the USSR was a long time ago now, and I don’t see any modern society with replacement level birth rates outside of small religious groups or immigrants that still have the momentum of raising traditional families, which evidence says dissipates after the first generation.

Are you saying the Safari browser on iOS intentionally cripples web applications by randomly erasing / deleting browser data (cookies, localStorage, etc)? And this happens on purpose because apple wants to boost App Store Apps usage?

If there is evidence of the veracity of this claim, this topic deserves a whole lot more attention. Especially considering Apple's stance on 3rd party mobile web browser engines - Apple forbids them, although EU regulation may force this to change.

I searched a bit and found no smoking gun, the closest hit was:

Nice example, thank you. I have no interest in making a commercial product but some motivation to learn what lies below the ISA. Like you say, that's cheaper than some more common hobbies.

I understand your point and agree that the immediate-term solutions apple is employing are technological

However, the environment in which Apple operates is defined by anti-circumvention. Yes you can legally jailbreak your phone. You can't legally run an R&D program to circumvent part-pairing, or develop a business around aftermarket modification of phones to modify or replace the boot ROM or other components. There's a reason third-party aftermarket modification of vehicles used to be a much bigger market and it's not the technological feasibility of developing modifications. The same is true of consumer electronics

Not surprising at all.. as it's said "if something is too good to be true it probably is"

Coding is hard, and there is no evidence to suggest it's getting easier , such as dealing with the integration of the front-end with the back-end, or having to deal with libraries and cloud environments and everything else that goes into it.

The model is broken. Too many people want to learn to code, not everyone can do it well.

The only way would be to filter many candidates going in, but the negative press would be huge. So you end up with huge cohorts of people who can't code, and you have to make the money back somehow. Good teachers need to know how to code well, and those are expensive too. And, let's face it, the internet is full of great material to learn to code for free. If you are not motivated enough to learn by your own, all the time, I don't see how a bootcamp will give you anything.

Apples implementation has some limitations. I haven’t figured out how to change the shortcuts for it yet, I am not sure if you can. The default requires using the globe key, which most external keyboards do not have.

You’re also much more limited in where you can snap stuff, no custom layouts or anything.

It is also much more finicky when using the mouse than magnet and rectangle, although it is still a beta so this may change before release.

Even on Windows where snapping has been around for almost two decades there are tools like Powertoys that people use to get more advanced snapping, I don’t think magnet or rectangle will go away.

On the surface, this is another window into the 2010's tech bubble, a period where mediocre people could raise ludicrous money amid a venture capitalist echo chamber fueled by low-interest rates. But what makes this any worse than Juicero, Clinkle, or Humane? Why does this rise to the level of Theranos?

It has been a bubble now for 13 years. I disagree here. Maybe it's just the new normal? Comparisons between now the the '90s do not hold up. Tech companies today are much bigger, but also generating huge profits, unlike the 90s bubble, in which tech companies were much less profitable or unprofitable relative to valuations.

lol "people could raise ludicrous money" What? Where? Funding rounds are much smaller, more competitive, and more selective today compared to in the 90s. Hardly anyone except for a few lucky people (like the founders of Coinbase or Dropbox) are getting rich overnight anymore, unlike in the 90s. Founders are being offered table scraps worth of funding compared to the generous, multi-million-dollar funding rounds that were common in the 90s.

This is made worse by the fact that running a tech company is more expensive than ever in terms of the complexity of the product (interactive apps are waaaayyy harder to develop than a static html store) and marketing (everything is so expensive and saturated compared to the 90s. Ads are obscenely expensive today and full of click/viewer fraud and worthless, inflated metrics.) and labor costs (coders are much better paid today compared to the 90s relative to inflation).

A boycott here would be strange. This is a type of app that Apple did not support until recently, and I’m sure doesn’t really want to support. Finally they were strong armed into allowing it… I’m not sure what a boycott would prove, or to whom. Apple would just use it to argue against further opening up their App Store—saying “look, the developers don’t want to be here anyway”. The developers themselves wouldn’t lose out, since until recently it wasn’t even an option. I guess the only people who would even mind would be users who would want to run emulators on their iOS devices.

AWS Fargate is popular among large companies in my experience.

Some of them try to migrate from it to a unified k8s "platform" (i.e. frequently not pure k8s/EKS/helm but some kind of in-house layer built on top of it). It takes so long that your tenure with the company could end before you see it through.
> coming from folks who are really against open-source AI to begin with strike me as a bad faith debate tactic

Meaning: really against AI? But Nietzsche said it's our enemies who are honest with us.

> do not wish any more barriers to be enacted to make them stop releasing open weight models

I think there are two models:

1. AI's potential for harm in open society requires some mitigation. Openness could be a mitigation. How effective is it?

2. I'm so glad the big guys are releasing bits that I can work with to build companies or at least an interview vignette. Please don't mess with that.

Honestly, the second is a direct, personal motivator for me and the first is a kind of fuzzy problem for unspecified leaders of society, but I probably shouldn't be oblivious to it if I want to maintain any respect.

So, perhaps not bad faith in the legal or the philosophical senses, but certainly a modern mix of incentives.

I for one am very glad someone's done the work of normalizing the list of features so we can have a product discussion.

When does a compiler produce randomness? I think non reproducible builds are usually due to environmental inputs (for example: build a date macro) or an undeespecified build process (such as: what compiler version, what build optimizations are used, etc). All of that can be constrained / defined, it's just work that people often don't do.

> This is reasonable, but a bit unfortunate specifically for TCP/UDP. The extremely strong convention is that all network protocols are "network byte format" which is Big-Endian.

This is really only relevant for packet headers, tho. What goes into payload is entirely up to the developer. There is no specific reason to keep endianness the same between TCP/UDP and its payload. As long as it's clear which one to use.

RFC1700 is marked as obsolete. IIRC, network order is big-endian is because it allowed faster packet switching? But we're at the point where I can do dual-border routing with DPI orders of magnitude faster than switches from that era can do basic switching.

Some people choose little-endian for payload because they are:

a) unaware of endianness and will discover a funny thing when they suddenly start talking between BE and LE nodes. Rust forces you to choose when you write or read numbers.

b) Think since their CPU is LE then payload should be LE as well for performance. This is false because even on ancient hardware this would not take more than 3 cycles (in a context of network communication shaving off 3 cycles is a hilarious endeavor)

c) Aware of all of this and choose LE because they felt like it.
Evidence and a clue are very different. Just because a scientific hypothesis us incorrect, or there is no explanation, does not mean that alternatives must be right.

Eg: disproving darwinism does not mean creationism is correct. Just that darwinism is flawed. You have to affirmatively prove alternative theories, can't just disprove something else and claim that makes you right. Yet more, creationism is not falsifiable, that's outside the scope of science. In the realm of faith, clues are taken as evidence, and this is where I quibble with you if we are talking science fact.

I saw a building that was entirely finished for years. Vacant but finished, aside from the fact they never built an apron to the road for the sunken garage. Last year they did up the apron seemingly overnight but no activity yet for any of the brand new units. I don’t think I will ever fully understand the economics of development if this behavior somehow makes pragmatic business sense, all these years not collecting rent probably writing off the loss to support other investments.
I'm not a railroad expert but I think AI involves much more speculation. They knew what a locomotive could do and what problem it solved. We can't really say that with AI.

Enforcement of the anti-bribery laws isn't really targeted at individuals traveling for fun. It is more meant to stop businesses from bribing officials.

If you are looking for broad scopes, copyright and espionage are both areas where the US asserts it's right to prosecute non-citizens for acts committed outside the country. For specific high-profile examples, look at Kim DotCom and Julian Assange.

In the age of the internet, pretty much every country would like to be able to prosecute non-citizens for acts they commit while outside the country. Hackers, scammers and fraudsters frequently commit crimes against citizens of other countries and the countries where the victims reside have a clear interest in prosecuting those criminals. The limitations of doing so depends on their ability to get that criminal expedited.

With this understanding, the EU laws aren't really any different.
