> ... which otherwise wouldn't be popular/of interest in the US

I don't accept the premise that you can completely manufacture interest in something that people aren't interested in. The majority of people don't actually want US bombs being dropped on women and children and China didn't make them feel this way.

> I personally don't give a shit about it

That's a position of incredible privilege (and lack of empathy) because it doesn't affect you. Not everyone is unaffected. Not everyone lacks empathy.

> I bet the same is true of most people

You'd be wrong. Two thirds of Americans strongly or somewhat support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza [1]. Enough people cared about this to start a grassroots protest in the Democratic Primary, most notably the Michigan "Uncommitted" movement, which scared Democratic power brokers enough to get Biden to not seek reelection. And Gaza lost Michigan for Kamala Harris yesterday.

Be careful throwing out statements like "the same is true for most people" because where are you getting that from? You, like everyone, live in a bubble to some degree. The people around you are more likely to be similar to you. They're also a small sample and not entirely random. You need some empirical evidence or sound statistical sampling before you can start drawing conclusions.

What's wild is, it kind of resembles Golgotha, the aborted FPS/strategy tank shooter from Crack Dot Com, the studio formed by former Id Software Linux evangelist Dave Taylor.

Golgotha was to be Crack's second game, but they folded before it could be finished, and released what code and assets they did have as open source (this was when CatB was still fresh).
I haven't used Terraform in years (because I changed jobs, not because of the tech itself), but back in the day v0.12 solved most of my gripes. I have always wished they'd implement a better "if" syntax for blocks, because the language itself pseudo-supports it: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/21512

But yeah, at $previous_job, Terraform enabled some really fantastic cross-SaaS integrations. Stuff like standing up a whole stack on AWS and creating a statuspage.io page and configuring Pingdom all at once. Perfect for customers who wanted their own instance of an application in an isolated fashion.

We also built an auto-approver for Terraform plans based on fingerprinting "known-good" (safe to execute) plans, but that's a story for a different day.

I could definitely point to minor differences between all the platforms, but you're right that everyone is tackling the same unstructured data problem.

In general, I think it will be a couple years before anyone really butts heads in the market. The problem space is just that big. I'm constantly blown away by how big the document problem at these mid sized businesses. And most of these companies don't have any engineers on staff. So no attempt has ever been made to fix it.
as a veteran i also don’t see the full point. i understand the intent behind it but the actual implementation is garbage. the US is paying large sums of money to protect land we don’t own. but if we very other NATO country steps up well then the collective defense works.
In theory, you can vote to influence your own government, but not the foreign interest.
The feature wasn't introduced because of public backlash. It had problems and could be tricked, which at the very least should make you stop accepting everything Apple says about security and privacy at face value. On top of this, while "conceived to prevent the abuse of children", it could be easily used to target someone such as yourself for sharing a meme making fun about the president of your country (or something like that[0])... there's also the fact Apple has bent backwards just to be present in some markets (eg: China and Apple banning VPNs[1]). It doesn't take much to understand why these comments pop up on posts about images + Apple's security/privacy.

Since we're calling people out, allow me to call you out:

Wanting your devices to be private and secure or asking questions about Apple after their f-up doesn't make you a pedo or a pedo sympathiser. Comments that suggest otherwise can also be a bit "sus" (to use your expression), especially in a place like HN where users are expected to know a thing or two about tech and should be aware that the "think of the children" excuse - while good - is sometimes used to introduce technology that is then misused (eg: the internet firewall in the UK that was supposed to protect the children and now blocks sexual education stuff, torrents, etc).

I'll assume your intentions are good, but it isn't right to assume or imply that people complaining about this stuff are pedos.

Look at anything that the wealthy consider valuable: Jewelry, gold, real estate- all have undergone astronomical inflation.

You can’t go buy a nice oak table for less than you did 20 years ago. Or high quality tools (To get something like old Craftsman I need to import tools from Germany at 10x the price). No one notices because of the insidious nature of inflation. “Cheap TVs!” appear to be deflating and are the bread and circuses. Meanwhile a massive amount of wealth is being stolen.
That's rich, coming from someone cheering for a guy who didn't accept he lost for four years.

> The benchmark is “other cloud providers” and they are either lying through their teeth or categorically better.

Other cloud providers aren't part of PRISM and generally don't receive the same level of concern from the world governments. They can afford to resist legal demands from countries they don't respect because they have nothing to lose from denying them access. Apple has not demonstrated that they have the willingness to resist this unlawful coercion, even recently. If they lied about the Push Notification security spec, what's to stop them from lying about this one too?
A lot of english conversation in Japan functions as de-facto paid compansionship. It's not exactly a front for escorting, but it's not completely not that either. In the west there tends to be a clear sharp line between customer service and sex work, whereas in Japan there is much more of a sliding scale from paying by the hour to hang out in a bar with friendly bar staff, to having more flirty conversations with them, through clothed touching to what's essentially a strip club experience.

I do not disagree with your points, but the NCC audit is not compelling. They only interviewed engineers and didn't audit the code or how it is deployed.
Ok, but none of the domestic interests are (theoretically) controlled by the government and yet all are (evidently) at least as malicious.

I suppose this would be easier to rationalize if domestic interests were democratically controllable.... but they're not. And they certainly aren't by canadians, which makes this action doubly confusing.
> If you aren't prepared to sell your business though and you want to hold onto it, why would the government be inclined to believe that you really want to leave and never come back so to speak?

No idea. And for a corporation (GmbH) in Germany, it would actually be trivial to track and control this, since the ownership transfer is only possible through a notary public and only becomes legal fact after its published in the public company register. So put a flag on it, and when that transfer shows up, just block it until the exit tax from when you left is paid.

History has shown us that Trump does not have "deep and sophisticated" plans. He has campaign rhetoric that sounds good to ignorant people, and then blindly moves into that plan. The trade wars with China required a bail out of farmers and is one of the things that helped fuel inflation, for example.

> he unironically explains in the Art of the Deal

He didn't write that book. Based on his numerous failed businesses and his history of poor negotiations (Afghanistan as a very obvious example), we should be operating on the assumption that he isn't actually good at this, and pray his advisors are.

> With all that said, the tariffs have me concerned, but allowing our industrial base to continue to evaporate has me more concerned.

Then you should have been happy with Biden, who worked towards things like the CHIPS act, which moved manufacturing of critical supply chain back to America.

The economist, the financial times, and large numbers of economists have said that his plans are going to fuel inflation and will reduce GDP. Elon Musk said we should be prepared to make sacrifices. People are telling you what's coming, and that's what you should be concerned about.
Money may influence certain blocks of voters more than others, and the parties may spend it differently. That still doesn't mean it's an unalloyed good that we pour so much money into it when it could be used on more productive efforts.

You don't necessarily need to actually attempt to globally enforce it. It's like speeding, right? Everybody knows the law, and a lot of people choose to break it. We can't check everybody's speed all the time, so instead we selectively enforce.

The real change though comes from parent's perceptions. Right now there's age limits of 14-years-old on most social media platforms, however most parents just see this as a ToS thing, and nobody cares about actually violating it. Once it becomes law, the parents are suddenly responsible (and liable) for ensuring their children are not breaking the law by accessing social media. It's not going to stop everybody, but it'll certainly move the needle on a lot of people who are currently apathetic to the ToS of social media platforms.

Sounds like you’ve worked with their tools! Can you tell us more about them please?
I just implemented something like this in Github Actions for a single python application which includes 2 containers and a model repository, deployed to Kubernetes via Argo from the in-repo Helm chart.

The same semantic version string is in pyproject.toml and values.yaml. These are enforced to be the same via pre-commit hook. Environment-specific versions are in env-specific values files like values-prod.yaml.

I have a build workflow which triggers on PRs that change certain files, computes either a pre- or post-release tag by appending the git hash to the server tag, and pushes the images and model repo using that tag. This will re-trigger as the PR is updated.

Users deploy these pre/post-releases in a few clicks with a manual github action which updates the branch and tag in our dev cluster Argo.

The PR can’t be merged unless the version is bumped.

When the PR is merged, a “promote” workflow runs which re-tags the latest image and model repo with the release version (pre-release without git hash suffix). This is fast, which means there’s no risk of image backoff loop from Argo trying to sync before artifacts are available.

Most PRs don’t touch the version in values-prod.yaml, so merges to main auto-deploy to staging while prod requires another PR updating only values-prod.yaml.

Folks complain a bit about manually bumping the version, and needing 2 PRs to take a change to prod, but it’s pretty smooth otherwise!

I had this feeling for the first time with Cline. It adjusted the code, accessed the terminal, rebuilt the image, ran the container, saw an error, suggested new edits, ran again... All while only asking for a few confirmations. And it's very verbose: it tells you with details what it's doing every step of the way.

But I migrated to the new Copilot a few days ago because I was easily spending $5 in a day.
Oh, I 100% agree that the translator intended the "gap", and the original creators approved of it. However, what was not clear, was whether the director Anno Hideaki had in mind the primary(?) meaning of genesis, as in creation of the world, when he was sketching the original plot of the TV series and the translation title wasn't ostensibly decided upon yet.

But in the re-make movie whose plot extended beyond the original series, it's clear he absolutely had that meaning in mind. That made having the title drop a cathartic experience. It felt like it wasn't 100% planned out, but rather a happy accident turned into a bit of a nod towards the global audiences, while still having the "the meaning was there all along" vibes.

Yes. That was a positive case for NamedTuple. The negative case was what if the function needs to grow further and return more stuff and then its no longer clear what the return values are? For example, what if `get_mouse_coordinates()` becomes `get_peripheral_coordinates()` which, for some reason, needs to return the coordinates of all the peripherals as one flat namedtuple `NamedTuple(mouse_x: int, mouse_y: int, pointer_x: int, pointer_y: int, ...)`. I know its a contrived example but it can happen for other kinds of functions.

Vetos almost definitionally aren’t destructive as they prevent things from happening.

Executive orders are a big one. I imagine there will be many legal challenges as a result of novel applications of executive authority here. Fortunately whatever he does here can be just as easily reverted in a few years.

Foreign policy is another huge one, and this is probably where he can do lasting damage to the US and its allies.

Pardon power is another like veto: all it does is restrain the government (in this case, from punishing criminals). Not much damage.

Appointments to anything other than the Supreme Court are, in my view, not that big a deal. Activist judges below the Supreme Court will eventually get their rulings overturned if they are too extreme.

I think people overestimate the damage that can be wrought, absent some external crisis/threat (eg covid, or a war, etc) that results in mismanagement in response.
Dems at least talk about taking money out of politics. McCain Feyngold was a big step in the right direction but IIRC SCOTUS shut that down hard.

There is a very strong economic incentive to do well on university entrance exams - they pretty much determine the course of a Japanese person's life - and thus both schools and outside tutoring focus on teaching students to score well on the English section of those exams, to the exclusion of learning to understand or speak English.

Similarly, it can be beneficial to one's someone's career to get a high score on TOEIC, so adult classes prioritise teaching people to get high scores on TOEIC. The "education" system is extremely well aligned with the economic incentives.

It seems the average IQ of the US is 98, not 100. But even if the mean would be 100, and <100 would be "dumb", it does not follow that 50% of the population is <100.

Actually, since IQ is bounded on the low side and not bounded on the other side, it is actually likely that if the average is 100, more than 50% are below average. But that is not guaranteed. You could have only one dumb person with everyone else >100.
