Response to Blog Post from Malibal
you are contradicting yourself. patriotism being considered right wing is exactly why germans prefer to feel european. and it's not only germany, everywhere else in europe too people consider german patriotism as rightwing.

while i lived in germany, when i traveled abroad telling people i live in germany the reaction was noticeably different compared to later when i moved to austria.

people outside of germany assume that germans are as patriotic as they are for their own country. combined that with hate crimes in germany making headlines and you can easily see how people think about germans.

when angela merkel welcomed all refugees during the syria crisis it was the first time i felt proud to have lived there.
(officially recognizing dual citizenship was the second. you can say what you want about germans, but at least their laws in this area are developing in the right direction. they recently made it easier to get german citizenship too)

> Also both of these (exhaust & intake) are not free to the inside of the vessel, but form a closed circuit with the engine, so there's no way to flood the vessel through those.

Don't know about this yacht specifically, but as I understand it a common solution is for the engines to suck in ambient air from the engine room.

> So probably we're talking about the engine room ventilation openings that would let water in.

Likely yes. And probably(?!) there were watertight bulkheads around the engine room, so by itself the engine room flooding might not have sunk the boat (assuming doors/hatches were closed), but if combined with other downflooding into the living quarters (doors, ventilators etc.) it would have accelerated how quickly it sank.

I ended up with my first hot tea ever by ordering tea in Mexico, as I would have in Texas. I was very confused when I got a mug of water and a tea bag. I was 15-ish. I'd literally never heard of anyone drinking tea hot. (This was in the mid-90s, so reading stuff on the internet wasn't much of a thing.)

Europeans, on the other hand, seem to be baffled by the concept that iced tea is just, you know, cold black tea, not a soft drink you buy at the store. I've seriously had people ask me how to make it.

>when angela merkel welcomed all refugees during the syria crisis it was the first time i felt proud to have lived there.

This national delusion and inability to separate the harsh reality from wishful thinking, is why Germany is going to shit and why many skilled Germans are emigrating to places like Switzerland and the US with saner policies and stricter immigration laws. My current boss is the third one I'm seeing emigrate to the US where they're happier than in Germany and get better healthcare. And I lost track on how many colleagues I saw move to CH in the last 10 years.

I expect the politicians I vote for and pay half my salary every month to take care of their own citizens first and foremost and not prioritize outsiders who aren't their citizens/voters using my tax Euros.

Has every homeless and starving citizen of Germany been taken care of with a roof over their head and food? No? Then where are you going to house and feed all those foreign refugees you're bringing in? With what money? If you have money for refugees you should have for the locals as well first and foremost.

Has every citizen of Germany received timely healthcare in the public system and easy to find a place in kindergartens/school/Hausarzt? No, because you have a shortage of doctors and teachers? Then how is importing more unskilled foreigners gonna make these public staff shortages better for the local citizens?

This is not "right wing extremism" take, it's just basic economics and survivorship common sense based on availability of limited resources by respecting democratic principles of the citizens.

So politicians, please don't use my tax money to care for foreigners when you haven't yet taken care of the locals who pay your wages and fund the public systems we need. Please perform your virtue signaling on how generous and welcoming you are using your own private money and properties, not the taxpayers'. Because it's very easy to be generous with someone else's money.
If you're a fan of articles like this, you owe it to yourself to read The Vital Question by Nick Lane. He's a British biochemist working at University College London and the book offers a detailed hypothetical route to the eukaryotic endosymbiosis. The genetic and energetic evidence he provides is compelling. In 2015 he apparently commented on Ettema's research [1] mentioned in OP:

Ettema’s team argue that their finding helps bridge the gap between our cells and those of the typical prokaryotic organisms from which we are believed to have evolved.

Others are more sceptical. “We’re getting closer to an archaeal ancestor of the eukaryotes,” says Nick Lane of University College London. However, even though the Lokiarchaea are relatively complex compared with other known archaea, they lack the large genome and energy-producing mitochondria of true eukaryotic cells. “It’s a thousandth of the way towards the complexity of a eukaryote,” says Lane. So we can’t really call them an intermediate step or a missing link.

Lane believes the crucial step in the evolution of the eukaryotes was acquiring mitochondria, which would have provided the energy to develop more complicated cellular processes and acquire a larger genome. Ettema does not think the Lokiarchaea have mitochondria, but he says some form of intracellular transport may have evolved before our ancestors acquired their powerhouses.

From my perspective as a former captain of a 20m schooner, a traditional rigged boat much, much less liable to suffer a knockdown such as befell the Bayesian, it’s insane to me that the angle of vanishing stability was only 90 degrees on such a ridiculously tall vessel. That means that if that mast ever touches the water it’s not coming up. Period. And that mast is a huge lever , even without sails raised.

This is a boat that was never designed to weather a bad storm, where unpredictable things are very likely to happen.

And it starts to flood at 45 degrees while in normal operating trim? That is just nuts. It’s not that hard to put all of the ventilation on the centerline, and a diesel engine won’t flood a boat through its exhaust.

So many design compromises on what could have been a real seagoing vessel you could trust to carry your family anywhere in comfort and safety, just for the sake of some misguided idea of opulence. In ships, beautiful is as beautiful does. A sleek coffin is an ugly ship indeed.

I would not have felt safe sailing that vessel in anything other than well timed passages with no weather nearby.

It really drives home the difference between a boat that is designed to stand up to whatever it might encounter vs a showpiece that is designed to look impressive but cannot face the kind of adversity that a working ship will be exposed to on a routine basis.

Clearly these yachts are designed to be operational in pleasant conditions only and to hide in shelter when the sea shows it’s teeth. What a stupid waste of resources. A fake ship.

Lets switch "attempting to destroy" for "attenpting to murder".

If an undercover cop sells you a gun knowing you want to use it to murder your spouse, you should definetly be charged with both, illegal purchase of firearm and intent to murder, regardless whether you actually to managed to murder someone first.

Does it matter that all someone (be it undercover cop or criminal) proved was you are able to be convinced to murder your spouse AND buy a gun? In my books you either charge the person at that point (for intent to murder), or it will be too late.

Same applies to "suspectible to destroy". They proven their intent AND purchased C4... Shall we give them benefit of the doubt until it actually goes boom?
> That said, an estimated 4.5-12% of California land burned annually prior to the Spanish getting here

Because I was curious I looked up some election numbers.

Taiwan's population is ~23.4 million.

In 2020 there were ~19.3 million registered voters with 74.9% turnout. [1]

In 2024 there were ~19.5 million registered voters with 71.86% turnout. [2]

Note that voter registration appears to be automatic[3] so I believe turnout also represents the percentage of all people 20 years and older who voted.

Coming from someone who grew up in Germany: Socialized health care sounds good on paper but ask anyone who actually had to go to multiple doctors to get some health issue identified and they'll all confirm that the basic healthcare you receive is of very low quality. Most doctors don't have more than 5-15 minutes per patient, they all have strict budgets of stuff they can actually do for their patients and as soon as you need a specialist, prepare for weeks to months of waiting time.

> e.g. it hasn't yet happened in Britain

Granted, I don't follow it closely, but from what discourse I've observed things on the other side of the pond don't seem quite harmonious to me.

> I'm not that sure it was entirely true even in the US between 1940 and 1980 either.

Which does not necessarily disprove the argument. Things were arguably less polarized and better working in the past, but my argument is exactly that the political incentives of a two-party system will eventually cause things to degenerate. The fact that things were once "reasonable politics" but have, over the course of decades, degenerated to "our policy is whatever is the opposite of their policy" is exactly the issue.

> Is it radically different in multiparty systems, though? If you are outside the government coalition you have similar incentives.

Similar, yes, but not necessarily the most effective political move.

If a disenfranchised voter can vote for a third (or fourth) party without their vote "being wasted", a strategizing disenfranchised voter no longer "has" to vote for a "least-worst" option in order to avoid the "most-worst" option.

In that case, painting your opponent as "even worse" does not necessarily win you votes. If it does, it likely also gives votes to the other parties in your political sphere, and if they get enough votes to make a coalition government without you, why should they bother to include someone whose primary policy is being a troublemaker?

---

To be clear, no system is perfect. I don't know what the best is, I just know it's not FPTP. The primary argument I am trying to make is that the polarization we see now is the inevitable (long-term) outcome of a two-party system, and that a two-party system is the inevitable outcome of winner-takes-all FPTP.

> Take advantage of it how?

If there is a domain that could be useful as a phishing site (a domain the original company allowed to expire, one that just looks right enough, etc) but is on the common blacklists, isn't that useful. If it dropped of the blacklists when registration expired then another nefarious type (or the same nefarious person if they are lucky) could re-register it and use it as a freshly useful phishing location until it once again got on the lists.

Though given how carefully people often don't check domains, or in some cases how easily they are hidden, which is why many phishing attacks work, this might not make a big difference overall.

Hey fellow HNers,

As music lovers and tech enthusiasts, you might appreciate the plight of European musicians struggling to be fairly represented and compensated. Our EU research project, Fair MusE, aims to address these inequalities by analyzing the impact of recommendation systems on artistic creation.

In today's streaming-dominated landscape, artists face a tough uphill battle. That's why we're collecting datasets from all over Europe to better understand the challenges they face and develop solutions to level the playing field.

We need your help!

Since music platforms do not share data, we reach out to their users. We encourage you to ask platforms for your personal data - using GDPR - and share the data with us. We don’t look into your personal information, instead, we analyze different dimensions of fairness in your listening history data and to - hopefully - characterize patterns in music recommendations. Our goal is to develop a ‘Fairness score’ to promote more transparency in music industry practices and the standardisation of data collection in the European music ecosystem.

Your support would mean a lot in helping us raise awareness and collect +1000 personal datasets from across Europe.

For those interested in participating, it's a simple two-step process:

1. Request your Spotify/Apple Music/Youtube Music data (10 minutes)
2. Share it with us (approx. 10 minutes)

If you'd like to discuss the music industry's inequalities further or share your thoughts, we're open to interviews.

Data is anonymised, but we need a contact email in case you want to withdraw from the project - or get updates. We will delete all personal data one year after the end of the project (deletion by March 2027).

Check out our website for more info on the project’s website: https://fairmuse.eu/

Let's build a fairer, more transparent musical world together!

Inside Macintosh has very, very few code examples (the only one I remember is the example program at the start of the phonebook edition)

Without large code examples, can a LLM write even halfway decent code?

> there's plenty of old programming books and magazines which have been scanned and OCRed.

In my memory, the heyday of printing programs in magazines was before the Mac. Macintosh programs were too large to print in a book or magazine, and other methods to distribute code were available (ftp servers, CDs)

I would think a good LLM for assisting working on the Mac toolbox needs data from ftp sites and CDs.
Ideally Germany should be cracking down on any form of extremism, doesn't matter if from the right or left.

And tbh, especially West Germany has turned a blind eye towards extremism from the left for far too long (there's this weird fascination and solidarity with the RAF in West German intellectual "Alt-68er" circles).

That Israel has a bit of a special status in Germany shouldn't come as a surprise considering Germany's history between 1933 and 1945.

They intentionally bought / acquired the same domain that was used for the hack to tell the story of the hack. I think it's pretty clever marketing myself, even if many people in the comments are reporting their security is kicking in.
So it looks as if the cohort buying has stayed roughly the same over the years. The average buyer was born in 1970. Bad enough. But when we consider the bell curve, to compensate for the older tail getting decimated by age it must have gotten even worse for younger cohorts than what "the average rises by one year per year" suggests at first glance.
If & only if Facebook sell access to capacity on the cable publically (They might just keep it for their internal use), and then if any of the providers that the gaming traffic uses start to use capacity on that cable.

However, fundamentally, even if fibre took the most direct route from your house, directly straight-line to the datacentre with the server in, and then straightline from there to your friends on the East Coast, the time taken to complete that journey and back is still going to be 150-200msec or so; so it won't be as snappy as if you all lived nearby, sadly.
