Why should every other group get autonomy but the Kurds? Turkey’s habit of ethnic cleansing isn’t a reason to deny the Kurds such a right.

Not that I really go to Vegas much any longer (thank the stars!) but when I did for conferences regularly, I'd go into some of the shopping malls and would be (not really literally but close) "I couldn't afford a single thing in this store!"
Weird, there are places where political news can be discussed. You feel you need a variety, others might feel rightfully that it should stick to its purpose. Coming back to analogies, I don't send memes to work chats.
Browsers should have pay/tip button to support website owners. And browser vendors should handle the payment. This would limit ads and tracking as well which aligns with Mozilla goals. Can I pitch this idea to Mozilla somewhere?

Ask HN: Best password manager? (end 2024)
I know it's a bit of an opinionated question, but you guys have a ton of experience in this. I'd like to save myself 20 hours (or more) of weighing the pro's and cons. I feel with these type of things, even when opinions are strong, it cuts right through the noise.

I'm a dev myself, just an unorganized one. It's time to get more organized.
I love visual navigation and exploration and wish programming was mouse-only too (with an on-screen keyboard to help with names). I’m actually using this setup for browsing - lots of bookmarks and gestures and an on-screen kbd.

Typing is overrated. Very sad that our tools are all typing-based.

(Yes I can point at least at prolog, epilog, mov reg,imm and int nn parts in a 8086 hexdump, if you’re curious how true of a hacker this is.)
You can't enforce FKs if you just split a database into several, due to regulatory, performance/maintenance, organizational or architectural (m*croservices) reasons.

Enforced PKs in modern setting basically only work in a single uhmmm "transaction domain" (in a sense of ACID). You can certainly use two-phase commits or whatever, but that would kill performance so much that nobody (I think) seriously uses that.

Like, I think most modern "NoSQL" solution doesn't have enforced FKs.

Even in a single transaction domain you will get performance improvements if you get rid of enforced FKs. I remember a very old podcast (maybe 2005 or even earlier), a conversation with Werner Vogels where he explained how they were fixing performance issues with Oracle that they were using at that time. For me it was an eye-opener.

The story basically is that when they created an order, they allocated a new ID for an order, then inserted rows in the "order_items" table, and only at the end they inserted a row in "orders" table. All this was NOT in a transaction.

If there was an error during this, they just left the dangling "order_items" rows, and cleaned them up regularly with the script.

Otherwise, Amazon (the web shop) could not handle the load, and it was 20 years ago on a state-of-the-art Oracle relational database(r)(tm) with all Amazon's resources.

This is when I realized that God is dead and everything is allowed.
There hasn't been a single scrap of evidence to support the claims of Russia using North Korean... there have however been several cases of the media getting caught lying about it, doctoring photos etc:

https://x.com/AXChristoforou/status/1864324321960972298?t=4H...

https://x.com/BowesChay/status/1864447294474457245?t=yK0OU-9...

The North Korean claims appear to be complete lies, designed to make Russia look bad.
I wouldn't say so no.

Personally I feel that the 5 years of reintroducing 14nm instead of getting 10nm out the door was what ate up any lead that Intel had over its competitors.

And don't forget that rumors has it that Apple reported more bugs with Intel Skylake than the QA team at Intel had managed to report. Never a good thing when one of your biggest customers finds more bugs in your product than your own engineers have managed to find.

I wouldn't really blame all this on a single person though.
Depends on the typing skills between chair and monitor.
GDP is almost irrelevant when it comes to Russia's true strength and persistence.

It's true however that winning a war is incredibly difficult, and the outcome could still be the same for Russia, if their GDP was increased by an order of magnitude.

Russia also has a unique ability to turn the entire economy into a sort of "war economy". That hasn't really been done yet.
Same could be argued about the last 100 years of the region. West doesn't give a shit about these countries as long as they keep selling oil (in dollars).

West propped and props up Islamism (and other tyrannies) to prevent nationalisations of oil resources. Seems to be mostly working as intended.
It looks like they cancelled the elections because the wrong candidate won and now they are scrambling for anything that will justify, after the fact, what they did. Meanwhile, they hope that "he is evil and supported by the Russians" is enough to make people mind their festive holidays rather than what the government is doing.

> “Cheating” means “manipulating votes.” It cannot mean “persuading voters through means I don’t like.”

How selective, rayiner. But really "cheating" means not following the rules of the activity you engage in. Those rules are thankfully codified in election law and not an internet comment.

Just to give you some food for though, I could poison my opponents. Which doesn't "manipulate votes", it just “persuades voters through means others don’t like”. By your carefully thought out definition, I did not cheat, fair win.

On the other hand I could take a whole load of dirty hidden money (from foreign actors) against what the law demands, and use that money to... "manipulate votes", because effectively I manipulated and lied to the people giving me the votes. So, as you'd say, I cheated.

I have no expectations that you're here to let your mind be changed though, because I don't think many of the hundreds of "troll" like comments here come from genuine misunderstanding.
What part wasn’t clear?
Some shortcuts are helpful, until one needs to do anything that affects visual position or drawing.

Very few people master shortcuts that require three key chords or more.
Russia can turn into a war economy - which means GDP is nearly irrelevant. Right now they're doing warfare while still keeping the lights on at little inconvenience for the public. They can change that around.
Ok, I'm going to assume that you're somewhat technical given where we are.

First off, if I estimate a series of numbers on you and those result in you being served a set of ads, is that wrong? If so, can you help me understand what's wrong with that?

Shadow profiles are mostly bullshit, yes data was collected for non users due to how the SDK and pixel worked. This data was all assigned to one user ID and was filtered out by basically everyone using that data.

I'm a little confused as to why buying third party data is wrong, the problem with this is that it's legal to collect and sell the data.

Speaking as a psychologist can you clarify what's wrong with psychological experiments?

I think your point about optimising for engagement was definitely a mistake, given the downstream consequences. However, they needed to find some way of ranking feed after Zynga almost killed them (a chronological feed would have been all Farmville all the time for a number of years) and they picked likes.

They also optimized for time spent but people complained about that so they started optimising for comments and shares which made everything worse, sadly.

Limiting post reach for pages was a legitimate business decision, particularly given the ranking constraints.

Got any more problems with them?
" not really sure who's worse"

What is the hot take on the rebels.?

Are these the ones the US was backing a few years ago against ISIS?

Is this another case of the replacement is worse? Or not?

Assad was so bad for using chemical weapons on citizens, the US couldn't conceive of worse? But is that true?
Pretty cool.

I'd also note that HTS is a proscribed terror organisation in the UK - yet nobody is having their doors kicked in for supporting them, in stark contrast to those publishing the truth about Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.
Plus Hezbollah has been beheaded and Iran attacked by Israel and Russia over-extended by its invasion of Ukraine.

Turkey has also been involved in this because they don't want the Kurds to have a state, but HTS seems to have managed to form a coalition for now.

There was also reports of US strafing attacks on columns of some SAA forces (and possibly IRGC) but that seems to have disappeared in the rapid events.

The existing government is trying to stay relevant, the current PM is in Damascus and is promising to work with whoever forms the new leadership. That might just be because he didn't escape and wants to stay out of jail.

Israel (and Russia) have been rumoured to have tried to destroy all the stocks of chemical and other weapons.

Russia will be desperate to hang on to its naval base at Tartus, but that seems to be wishful thinking, but maybe it can make a deal.

I've been using it for about 10 years now after an ex-colleague at a cybersecurity company recommended it. It's freeware, with a prompt a couple of times a year to buy the developer a beer.

Pros: It has a nice clean interface, with more features than I've ever found necessary.

Cons: Oddly, the fact that it's got so many features. The help is quite technical, but it may well suit someone better qualified than me.
The browser vendors can earn small commission from each transaction. This ensures steady stream of income for them as well. They have created a piece of public infrastructure that is absolutely critical they should earn from direct payments of their users instead of relying on single entity who may or may not have their best interest at heart.
Almost certainly. Religious minorities will experience pogroms. At least Assad protected the Christians and non-Sunni Muslims.
I think the timeline of failures was something like this:

1. Russia, being too entrenched in Ukraine, wanted some global focus shifted away from Ukraine, and managed to get Hamas (probably via Iran) to attack Israel last October. This would predictably become a very hot issue - especially in the US - and make the world "forget" Ukraine. There's been a lot of writing that the support for the Ukraine war will only last as long as there's mainstream focus on it, and that no new wars pop up.

2. The Gaza plan failed. Israel attacks Hezbollah and Iran, which means neither of those can help Syria. The retaliation from Israel was too strong.

3. Vital support from Russia, Iran, Hezbollah is now severely limited.

And that's pretty much that. The rebels in Syria saw their opportunity, and seized it.

What's more, is that Syria has long been an important supply route for Iran and Hezbollah. With rebel control, which is anti-Iran and anti-Hezbollah, this will have much wider-reaching impact.
The regime's allies*

The majority of the Syrian people opposed the ruthless dictator and their allies.
The web already has lots of options for people who don't want to be paid. That's not the problem!

Come to think of it you can do this with normal DNS by just setting a wallet address in a TXT record but that's not integrated into anything. It's just text.
I'd have to read more (or get your clarification?) to understand what you mean; pp82-106* of a translation appear to cover a fair amount of Becoming to me?

https://archive.org/details/georg-wilhelm-friedrich-hegel-sc...

* including subheads such as "Moments of Becoming" and "Sublation of Becoming".

(ok, reading pp106-108 suggests that although Becoming is not Nothing for Hegel, it is self-contradictory and hence a special kind of a non-being, a determinate being?)

EDIT: aufheben seems more transparent than "sublation"

> Das Werden ist das Verschwinden von Seyn in Nichts, und von Nichts in Seyn, ... Es widerspricht sich also in sich selbst, ... eine solche Vereinigung aber zerstört sich.

(Becoming is the disappearance of Being in Nothing, and of Nothing in Being, ... It contradicts itself ... such a union destroys itself. This result is the disappearance, but not into Nothing ... Becoming, passing thus into the unity of Being and Nothing, ... is Existence.) ??

They haven't yet forced conscription. There's plenty of manpower available to Russia through this very unpopular measure. If pressed they'll do it, the question will be whether Putin survives the young people of Moscow and St Petersburg joining the meat waves.
The case for refugees isn't "their country is bad". It is "they are fleeing war".

If it was the former case, then approximately 7b people would be valid refugees.
Most of the Syrian army was made up of people forced to be there or to be imprisoned ~

A lot where changing clothes in the middle of the street.
Except Syria has a completely different history and population, being Arab, is nothing like Afghani people.

Assad was an evil dictator and his father before him, but Syria had a stable government and bureaucracy etc until the civil war. It was a functioning state.

There are sects and regional populations in Syria, the Kurds, Alawites (Assad's group), Sunni, Christian. It's more that they will have to accommodate the regional and religious groups in their government.
Yes, they annexed that after the last war with Syria. Do you think the US is going to abandon the southwest US back to Mexican cartels, or the UK will abandon Wales, or any of these other countries will abandon territory they won in war long ago?

It's very hard to have honest and logical discussions about this. Both sides are biased here, and both sides think the other is undermining their will and interests. And sane adults that see some of this "meta detail" and call it out (like what you did), are not listened to.

Even if they wanted to listen to sane and logical points like that, it would be a detriment to both sides to listen to it - so they don't because they know the other side probably won't.

There is still no proof for North Korean soldiers at the front and pro-russian bloggers make fun of it in ironic memes.

I now think it was either only a few North Korean officers or it was just Ukrainian propaganda to justify more western support.

He's too nice to call out the real problem, which is hubris.

Intel got arrogant, remained arrogant and despite getting absolutely pummelled by competitors on share price value, believes it is special.

Intel needs to realise it's not going to catch up TSMC and so should focus on cannibalising all other competitors and moving into spaces where TSMC doesn't operate. It's going to be a lower margin game from now on but Intel can survive. Oh and be the nicest folks in town, not the shit on the people we need like Gelsinger did.

Intel is in effect a Will Ferrell movie character. Character is arrogant, becomes arrogant and stupid in defiance, and potentially finally sees the error of its ways and grows a bit.
Why would you care now? In 20 years somebody else would be paid to fix it.
>, I wish Sabine Hossenfelder didn't have to leave academia. [...] I understand that she is catering to the audience but this is one example why alignment of the incentives works. Before, she was earning her living as a working physicist so she did not have to cater to anyone actually

But this obscures the fact that she was still "catering to the audience" when working in academia as a paid physicist. She was just placating a different audience and worked on topics she really didn't think was groundbreaking just to keep the grant money rolling in. The misalignment of incentives just happened outside of Youtube.

A lot of viewers wish that "content creator" wasn't a thing and people just did Youtube for free as a hobby. Understandable.

Basically, you're less protected against purchases gone wrong with a debit card or against fraud. A fair number of (mostly higher income) folks also get other benefits from credit cards--though that may not be relevant here.

However, a debit card usually covers the floor of needing a card of some sort to pay for a lot of things.

You can easily find the guy's LinkedIn. It appears that he is fully devoted to "entrepreneurship" rather than finding a traditional job, and currently lists himself as the founder of 2 current start-ups. So the unemployed part is basically by choice... and you'll notice, in the article, nothing stated about applying for jobs and not getting them.

I believe what this guy is referring to is that his startups currently aren't making money. And, to that end, this blog post is a marketing piece.
Musk sells more Teslas and makes more batteries in China than everywhere else except US. So thinking that Trump will be "anti-China" is wishful thinking. Last time, China didn't suffer, but US farmers had to be bailed out.

Russia is the bad actor here, and Trump has never had a bad word to say about Putin.

Oh and the BRICS trying to get off the USD is just wishful thinking as well. Ask Russia what its like trying to sell oil to India and getting paid in INR.

Russia is already a vassal state to either CN or IN, they'll fight over the resources.
