> But we have sent probes to other worlds? What is science fiction about this?

Probes aren't space travel for humans.

> A manned mission to Mars is entirely feasible with current technology.

As no manned missions to Mars have ever proven this conjecture, it is still entirely speculation on your part.

> A manned mission to another solar system is going to be very-very difficult, we'd need generational space ship/habitats. Note that difficult is not the same as impossible.

No, it is impossible. Humans cannot survive in space that long. Never have, currently can't, and there's no precedent to assume it ever becomes possible. Pure speculation on your part.
Mostly we rate authors by readability, but in this century it's also possible to judge them by how well their books serve as impromptu laptop stands.
And the Apple fanboys are loose again...

Regardless how your opinion on PKI and self-signed certificates is, shouldn't we at least be bothered by the fact that Apple just switched off this feature without any communication whatsoever? The community was literally in the dark about whether this is an official policy change or a bug.

Google, in situations like this, at least made some corpospeak press release officially "sunsetting" the feature and provided an official deprecation timeline so users have time to adapt.

Apple is apparently just leaving their users stranded and unable to access their email.
I had to visit the ER in Philippines.

In US we sit there for 5-7 hours and see a nurse practitioner.

In Philippines we were in an out in 2 hours and saw two doctors.
It's a difference between EU and US philosophies on regulation, particularly regulation of _competition_ issues. Broadly, the US's attitude is "please, companies, consider doing this, look at this big sack of subsidies", whereas the EU's attitude is "do this".

(This wasn't always the case, and in fact at one time the US was tougher on competition law than Europe was, but since the late 90s the US has been largely asleep at the wheel on competition.)
Yes! It's ridiculously difficult to hand-apply solder paste without a stencil.

We use a pointy dental tool for larger pads and acupuncture needles for the teeny-tiny's.

I'd love to learn about better ways though, anyone else got tips for applying solder paste before a repair gets reflowed?

As I understand, and I'm not sure many do at the moment, Hezbollah put in a very specific order from a specific supplier.
It is not the case that they just used their local/national stores and bought out pagers from some common supply available to ordinary civilians.
Their destination was known.

Can't really comment on your paranoia regarding new hardware. I can't say there's no reason not to be with surveillance tools everywhere.
However, unless you're putting in orders for a terrorist organisation I don't think you need to worry that the Shin Bet will willy nilly add explosives.

At the moment though (and ever since decent online translation services were a thing), it feels one-way, that is, people from that side of the internet coming to the anglosphere internet moreso than anglosphere people going internet-abroad. I may be wrong.
It wouldn't be a pivot that would please investors. It's inherently a near-zero-margin business (if you are making a significant margin, then someone will open one down the road and undercut you); many actual fuel stations only really survive on the add-ons (convenience stores, 'premium' petrol, etc.)
indeed, war couldn't happen without rules. training, marching, maneuvering, following a battle plan- these all require discipline and rules to be effective.

if there were no structure, no rules, it would just be fighting- like animals. it could never reach the level of war. that takes human ingenuity!

I know this is not going to happen for obvious marketing reasons but they should just drop the number, call it iPhone and stop making these pointless presentations. Then just drop a press release when they tweak something worth knowing about. Everything is so incremental that doing entirely presentations feels rather dumb.
Have you got some support for this from people experienced with legal matters? Because not only I've never heard of the internet provider notification being required and can't find any act which would apply, I can't even find any European page which does that, including https://op.europa.eu/en/web/about-us/privacy-statement which is responsible for publishing gdpr itself.

That publisher's page lists the third party processors for the documents, (as expected) but not the hosting provider. I'd love to see a counterexample.
Intel also have or had a wide variety of side businesses - compute sticks and NUCs, NICs (WiFi, Ethernet, optics), datacenter SSDs, and probably other things I'm forgetting.
I think your instincts are good here. It's very telling that they secured funding to take product to market before completing comprehensive trials of the device. That's ass backwards from how legit medical devices are developed.

I would say they do yes. But "environmentalism" without an aimed-for energy consumption target and serious plans for the associated technological and ways-of life adjustments is something else: just pure entitlement.

Fundraising for the first time might be hard - persistence and tenacity will get you through it. Put together a pitch deck, demo, maybe a 1-pager, and a spreadsheet of every founder and investor you know. Start lining up meetings, and your pitch will get better every time. You might do hundreds of them. Your first check will likely come from a personal connection, then it will snowball from there.

Take checks as SAFEs - YC has a standard one you can download that everyone trusts. I would watch all the YC startup school videos on fundraising if you haven’t already, lots of great advice in there.

It only takes 1 yes for a round to come together.
Israel Palestine war aside, there's been a lot of controversies about Wikipedia lately. Two of them were the presumably still unfixed content distortion and bias incidents on Native American topics and the Holocaust in Poland.

I tried to introduce OTel in a greenfield system at a large Canadian bank. Corporate IT pushed back hard because they'd heard a lot of "negative feedback" about it at a Dynatrace conference. No surprises there.

Corporate IT were not interested in reducing vendor lock-in; in fact, they asked us to ditch the OTel Collector in favour of Dynatrace OneAgent even though we could have integrated with Dynatrace without it.

FWIW, We got a training class from a grumpy guru a couple years ago, and "cold joint" was his most despised phrase.

He insisted we call them "dry joints," because that's what they actually were.

Now, whenever I hear (or read, or say) the terrible phrase, I can't help but think of the old guy, "No! it's dry!"
Not sure what you mean. Gathering evidence is a vital part of investigating criminal activity. In the age of the internet, this includes evidence generated on computer networks, such as connection metadata from distributed systems like Tor.

Why, in your view, is this akin to Stalinism? It's just standard police work adapted for modern technologies, not an indication of totalitarian governance.
Impressive they were able to get so many improvements from post-scan processing. Yet I can't imagine needing a PDF so badly it's worth the effort. I'd probably just try to buy a digital copy.

Aurora Store

Just to name a few. Best compatibility is Google pixel but Motorola or fairphone might also be supported.

The iPhone 13 Mini has a 50% larger screen than the 4S. I have quite large hands, and it's still difficult to use it with one hand and it also isn't as well-balanced when holding it.

If Apple expected the Mini variants to be as successful as the others that's on them. It's clear that most people spend a lot of time on their phone consuming multimedia content and so for those a large screen makes sense. But there should be a choice and as an SE model it would still make sense imho.

Of course in the future small phones might become obsolete due to foldables, but as long as those are based on flimsy creased plastic and cost twice as much I'm not convinced.
For IMAP, I'm one of them! :-D

'Embeddings' Encode What Words Mean – Sort Of
I haven't used SkyPilot so I am unfamiliar with the experience and performance.

However, some of the situations you would like to use Cerebrium over Skypilot are:
- You don't want to manage you own hardware
- Reduced costs: With serverless Runtime and low cold starts (unclear if SkyPiolet offers this and what the peformance is like if they do)
- Rapid iteration: Unclear of the deployment process on SkyPilot and how long projects take to go live
- Observability: Looks like you would just have k8s metrics at your disposal
>I'm currently contracting, and post on LinkedIn at least once a day, and I've added ~1k+ followers in the last month, but it takes effort. Meanwhile, those posts have gotten me work, and so if it was feasible for me to outsource it in a reputationally safe way, I'd consider it.

If you need to pay the bills and this helps, good for you.

But boy howdy does this sound terrible. It's amazing to me that there are people out there who take anything on LinkedIn seriously. I mean, it's not like the posts are inherently bad, but the entire point of the site is to "influence" and sell to each other. It's horrible. If I were looking for talent, it'd probably be the last site I'd use.

This is the day where I ditch Firefox, finally. Whether completely correct or not, the official communication on this from Mozilla sounds not friendly at all, everything that Teixeira says points to a very "evil" company management, and their actions and proposed goals that they've announced over the last years also don't align with what I would wish to hear and see from such a company.

I remember when I decided to fully ditch Google, and today it'll be Mozilla. It's a fucking shame - a company that I've placed A LOT of hope in some years ago.

The surprising thing is that there are rules between the parties. Of course every army has rules internally, but having international rules everyone is bound by isn’t obvious.
Yes. Why wouldn't it be?

The fact that adversaries need to rely on zero-days, or people running massively outdated and unsupported software, strongly suggests the network is safe and robust.
I think your first point could plausibly be made by either side, not just about this specific incident. I don't think killing people is ever a justifiable solution to any issue and almost always makes things worse.

I think, no matter who the perpetrator is, it's undeniable that exploding electrical items on this scale, is an act of terror and aggression.
Of course. YOUR news is always propaganda, MY news is always God's honest truth.

I'm sure al jazeera and electronic intifada have a cool disinterested view on the matter.
My experience was the months I spent with a very competent (and no doubt expensive) French law firm to help my employer implement GDPR compliance. None of that is public info that I can link to, however.

I’ll edit to add that the user must be notified that you are collecting and processing personal data, which includes IP address. And the hard part is that you must also have internal paper trails that prove that you have written that notification in full knowledge of all the data processing done on your behalf by all your service providers. Is a data center owner routing traffic to your server? You need paperwork in which they commit not to store the IP addresses of your visitors, for example. That is not public-facing but must be available to regulators upon their request.

That’s the hard part of compliance and what most people skip. They click OK on the standard agreements with service providers and put up a standard privacy template. That is not actually compliant but folks are essentially betting that they are small enough that data regulators won’t ever come call them on it.
Spot on. Also the 16k number is reported by Hamas and is a propaganda number. The real count is closer to 2. Also, Hamas is responsible -- Israel has killed 0 civilians.

if you ask for less than a court battle would cost you can just ask for slightly less than what that would cost the other party. In the US each party pays their own cost generally.
I don’t necessarily discount that the underlying premise of this headband (electrical brain stimulation) may have some positive impact on some ADHD symptoms in some people, this product rings of overengineered design-by-committee VC-leveraged scam product.

First of all, “MRI in your pocket” is just complete nonsense. Brain wave monitoring has nothing to do with MRIs. MRIs have never been shown to have any relevance to detecting or monitoring ADHD symptoms. And this headband and the associated app could never provide any MRI-like features.

Secondly, the included AI assistant screams of “we added this to appease our investors so we could get another round of funding”. The article doesn’t detail how the AI would interact with the headband anyway. Rather, given that the AI assistant generates “user-friendly, personalized to-do lists”, it sounds like this is just another “you just need to make better todo lists” low-effort ChatGPT wrapper from neurotypical busybodies who fundamentally misunderstand ADHD in the most insulting ways.

The article’s summary, “It's essentially a brain-imaging device for personal use”, is just a flat-out, irresponsible lie.

It won't work, because the same weakness will simply destroy you through some other thing you won't control for better outcomes.

Show HN: EloqKV – Scalable distributed ACID key-value database with Redis API
We're thrilled to unveil EloqKV, a lightning-fast distributed key-value store with a Redis-compatible API. Built on a new database architecture called the Data Substrate, EloqKV brings significant innovations to database design. Here’s the unique features that makes it stand out:

- Flexible Deployment: Run it as a single-node in-memory KV cache, a larger-than-memory database or scale to a highly available, distributed transactional database with ease.

- High Performance: Achieves performance levels comparable to top in-memory databases like Redis and DragonflyDB, while significantly outperforming durable KV stores like KVRocks.

- Full ACID Transactions: Ensures complete transactional integrity, even in distributed environments.

- Independent Resource Scaling: Scale CPU, memory, storage, and logging resources independently to meet your needs.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
