Ethnocentric racism is never good and it is, indeed, rampant in Israel, but it's hard to compare European colonialism to Zionism for a few reasons. The cultural and historical affinity of Jews, including Jews residing in Europe, was nothing like that of Europeans to the Americas, Africa, or East Asia. For well over a millennium Jews were praying for a return to Zion three times a day, even after the collapse of the Roman Empire and its later conquest (from the Byzantine Empire) by the Arab Islamic Empire, there have been many (small) migrations of Jews to the area [1], there has been an uninterrupted (small) presence of Jews there, and Jews in Europe were considered "racially" oriental "semites". Unlike European-style settler- or exploitation colonialism, there wasn't any metropole to Zionism, in the name of which colonisation was taking place. Finally, the bigger migration by modern Zionism in the time of the Ottoman Empire (that is when this conflict started, not under the Brits, who came into the picture -- after Tel Aviv was a city), came as a result of difficulties the Jews experienced in Europe and the Russian Empire, and certainly not on behalf of those powers.

That's not to say that Israel (like all countries in North and South America, Australia, and New Zealand) isn't a form of settler colonialism [1], sometimes openly and consciously so, but it is different from European colonialism (and in some respects it can be different for the worse, at least compared to some specific European colonies).

So yes, some things are simple, but your comparisons to things that were quite different actually shows how other things are not so simple. But it is precisely because history is often complex and almost never easily generalisable that I hate using it either as moral justification or condemnation of present events. I don't think that the fact both Arabs and Jews came to the Levant through migration and conquest (even according to both culture's own national mythology) has any bearing on present moral responsibility. In the end, as you say, ethnocentric nationalism is just wrong.

Those aren't just a chip; they're an epoxy package with a leadframe and a chip inside it. To put just a chip on a keychain, you'd have to drill a hole through it, which is difficult because silicon is so brittle—almost like drilling a hole in glass. Then, when someone put it onto a keyring, the keyring would form a lever that applies a massive force to the edge of the brittle hole, shattering the brittle silicon. Potting the chip in acrylic resin is a much cheaper solution that works better.
I'd really love to know what the mathematicians are actually doing when they work this stuff out? Is it all on computers now? Can they somehow visualize 24-dimensional-sphere-packings in their minds? Are they maybe rigorously checking results of a 'test function' that tells them they found a correct/optimal packing? I would love to know more about what the day-to-day work involved in this type of research actually would be!

Let me rephrase that: It’s not “failed,” per se, but it is inaccessible.

It’s what systems programmers would like, because we don’t like things that get in the way. However, most folks aren’t systems programmers. They want padding and safety nets.
Of course there are "reasonable justifications" for the shitty status quo, but that's kind of the point. Things are shitty for reasons but not for good reasons. The author points to Japan to illustrate that you do get measurably better results when people habitually try to do good work. We're not actually doomed to have crappy furniture, flimsy and buggy appliances, byzantine legal codes, ugly architecture, and hostile infrastructure forever. This society is the product of the choices we've made collectively and if we made different choices we could have a much better (or much worse) society.

It's not properly grounded. I think I need to change out the power cable for one with ground, since the power cable that comes with the stereo only has two wires. There is a grounding point on the back of the chassis, but I don't have anything to ground it to except for the wall socket and at that point I should just use a proper power cable instead.

> How is the right of return has anything to do with Arabs IN Israel? The right of return is only for immigration rights, which is relevant only for non citizens.

Lets break this down.

> How is the right of return has anything to do with Arabs IN Israel?

The original claim was that "arabs are more free under Israeli rule". Denying 750,000 people the right to return to the house they were forced out of under threat of death doesn't sound like "freedom" to me.

> The right of return is only for immigration rights, which is relevant only for non citizens.

Yeah the people kicked out in the Nakba are not citizens of Israel, so what is your point? I'm talking about the freedom of people terrorized out of their houses who are not recognized as citizens of the state of Israel. You nailed it bud. What are you misunderstanding?

Since only apparently anecdotes count as pertinent for you, here’s one. I haven’t bought a bulb in over 12 years. My LEDs have simply not gone out. I had changed bulbs nearly every 6 months before that.

I'm don't see why this is downvoted, I think it's an honest and legitimate question. What are pedestrians supposed to do when there's no car passing them right this moment? Carry their own torch? Rely on ambient light from the moon and reflected from nearby lit streets? Are we assuming there's such a high volume of cars that there's never a gap? I'm genuinely confused.
This sort of argument is odd to someone in a country which uses both, where a yard is intuitively "a bit smaller than a metre", a pint corresponds to a pint glass or "about half a litre" rather than anything meaningful and I'm aware that a rod and a furlong are things but have absolutely no idea what they correspond to. A foot is comfortably bigger than the average foot size, and an inch really isn't an easier unit to approximate than a centimeter

Most of the supermarket is essentially ad-space. Companies often negotiate quite hard for good eye-line shelf positions for their products.

That special offer Tesco has on Pepsi products? Tesco is probably making exactly the same markup on each sale and the saving is actually coming from a supply price deal they have arranged with Pepsi in exchange for their products getting extra shelf space and end-isle displays.

High-shelf space (too high for customers to safely reach, so otherwise empty or used to store boxes of product to open when it is time to replace sold stock on lower shelves) often has advertising hoardings for products on other isles these days, again this is effectively paid ad space for the suppliers. If no external supplier is currently paying for it, the space is used to advertise own-brand ranges.
How do they profit? There must be a cost somewhere? Another reply mentioned spreads - still a cost (you lose money when you trade).
Musk famously hates short sellers, the Trump Social CEO has done the "blame the short sellers" bit, Eric Trump is hyping crypto coins, Trump himself is eager to take credit whenever the market goes up... I think it's almost guaranteed that they'll target short sellers specifically at some point. They're a easy target to blame, and divert attention from the the fact that they are actually fleecing investors right at this moment.

Soon the only crime will be exposing fraud.
> WTF? What about pedestrians? Are they walking in full darkness?

During a normal night, you get used to the darkness surprisingly fast, and if there even a slight sliver of moonlight, your eyes will within seconds adjust and let you see things again without trouble.

At least that's my experience growing up in the dark countryside in Sweden and seemingly retaining this as an adult, YMMV.

Hey all,

We’ve applied to YC three times and got rejected each time. we’ll get there eventually!
The main reasons for rejection were: being a solo founder (no co-founder), having no team, an MVP that wasn’t ready, or no traction in place.

---
My expertise lies in building software products for startups, unicorn companies, and even governments.

Throughout my years in software, I’ve had plenty of exposure to data products. I’ve faced recurring challenges like the lack of data, uncertainty around data handling, or even generating too much data and not knowing how to best utilize it to generate revenue. Many times, I turned to data marketplaces, but my experience with them was nightmare-ish and frustrating.

Every time I tried to use data marketplace, I was redirected to a data vendor. This meant spending 7–14 days on phone calls or emails, trying to explain my data needs, only to hear responses like, “Let me talk to data supplier and see if we can produce this dataset.” On top of that, navigating the top data marketplaces felt like you needed a master’s degree. Tasks like to create an account or view data listings and samples were always behind "Contact Us" walls.

In one of my previous startups, I built a data storage solution and spent an insane amount of time trying to sell it to B2B businesses. Most of my calls ended with, “Cool stuff, but this isn’t the problem we have.” From there, conversations often shifted toward data monetization and acquisition, with companies describing the same pain points and challenges they had with top-tier data marketplaces. That’s when I realized it wasn’t just me—the actual problem was much larger than it appeared.

I decided to continue as a solo founder and managed to attract 13 experienced professionals to the team. Together, we’ve built Opendatabay, an AI-powered data marketplace that makes data discovery, listing, and access as simple as shopping on Amazon.

The product is live, we are getting traction, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on its feel, look, and message we trying to deliver.

• Would you say it’s easy to use?
• Do you understand what we do?
• What, in your opinion, is missing?

I appreciate your feedback!
Thanks,
Justin (Founder)

You said, "I would guess you're not asking a serious question here," which is to say, you were guessing that the question was asked in bad faith. Or, at any rate, you would, if for some reason the question came up, for example in deciding how to answer it. Which is what you were doing. That is to say, you did guess that it was asked in bad faith. Given the minimal amount of evidence available (12 words and a nickname "__Joker") I think it's reasonable to describe that guess as an assumption. Ergo, you were assuming bad faith.
There may be splits in feminism over intersectionality, but is that considered part of wokeness? Again, without a clear definition (and it's obvious that different people mean different things when using that word) it's hard to talk about what it is at all.
>The algorithm is good. It's too good, and that's why it's dangerous.

So, based on your description, the algorithm gives you almost exactly what you like, in terms of authenticity and legitimate interest on your part, instead of force feeding you crap that tries to change your perception of X or Y, and this is... bad? How exactly is it dangerous for doing what you want it to instead of pouring slop onto your brain?

I agree physical books are great since you can hold them, smell them - nothing like an ebook. There is also a big advantage for us middle-aged folks that ebooks have and that's adjustable font size. Bifocal glasses help bit making font bigger is better.

Show HN: The messaging app for forgetful, distracted, or busy people
Hi Hacker News,

After 2 years of hard work, I’m excited to share something I’ve been building — a messaging app designed for people like me who forget easily, get distracted (hello, ADHD!), or have packed schedules.

The problem I wanted to solve is simple: not all messages are equally important, but most messaging apps treat them the same. So, I created a tool to help you focus on the messages that truly matter, whether they’re from family, friends, or work.

I’d love for you to check it out and share your feedback — it means everything as I work to make this even better.

> My second point, if you write a poem and I read it and memorize it, then publish it as my own with some slight changes you would be upset?

I feel the problem with analogizing to humans while trying to make a point against unlicensed machine learning is that applying the same moral/legal rules as we do to humans to generative models (learning is not infringement, output is only infringement if it's a substantially similar copy of a protected work, and infringement may still be covered by fair use) would be a very favorable outcome for machine learning.

> they just mix inputs and then interpolate an answer , is some cases you can't guess what input image/text was used

Even if you actually interpolated some set of inputs (which is not how diffusion models or transformers work), without substantial similarity to a protected work you're in the clear.

> is my script "creative"? [...] This AIs are not really creative [...]

There's no requirement for creativity - even traditional algorithms can make modifications such that the result lacks substantial similarity and thus is not copyright infringement, or is covered by fair use due to being transformative.

the weird thing about banking apps is, if i don't install them and just log in via browser I don't need any of that bullshit. So why does my bank app need all that, if they're ok with browser just logging in? It all feels a little like something the app monkeys got sucked into because they don't know better and trust google more than they should.
"Normies" actually prefer to get a paragraph long email rather then three pages saying the same thing. AI is NOT adding just a few socially expected niceties. It adds huge amount of fluff.

I think more than anything, the sense of tweaking, writing and publishing my blog is unmatched!

I wrote a bit about it recently here: https://rishikeshs.com/blogging-friction/

Apart from the joy of it, my blog has helped me in my career. I had applied for a job in my niche area which required me to have some writing experience. But I never had anything other than my blog to showcase. This gave the interviewer bit of a confidence and eventually ended up giving me an offer.

On the dev side, I learnt hugo, the whole world of static generators and eventually had a slight programming because of my blog. When a client reached out to me out of the blue for a project, I asked him how he found me. He found me via blog and my online presence made him more confident in giving me work.

Other than this, my blog is a wiki of my life. As someone else said in comments, I don’t care if no one reads, I’ll still publish.
Nice product overall. Not sure anybody pointed out this yet, but you should consider changing spaces for dashes on your slugs, they look better than the coded space (%20) on pages like: https://itslaunched.com/profile/Kazane%20Shimizu
My understanding is that decades past when Israeli liberals tried being nice to Palestine and letting them self govern they were rewarded with more bombings and conflict. It isn’t a politically tenable position in Israel anymore to let Palestine (and Lebanon) “just be,” and that’s equally the fault of Palestinian behavior as it is Israel’s.

I am sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians, but the truth of the matter is that Israel has a valid claim too and military superiority to back it. If Palestine is to self govern, it and the rest of the nations around it need to convince Israel that they won’t try to wipe Israel off the map (or, alternatively, to succeed at it, which I’m sure many Western protesters would celebrate). Until then Israel will just dominate them instead.
I actually recently purchased my first Kindle, as well as an gift upgrade for my partner. I researched and talked to a friend of mine who owns one.

At first I was determined I would purchase the ad-free version (I think the price difference was like ~20€), but after talking to my friend they kind of convinced me that the ad version is not so bad.

2 points on this:
1. The ad appears only on the lockscreen of the device, so you see it once and then never again until you reopen it. The ad is also only for a book in the Kindle store, never anything else (this might seem trivial, but I think one of the negative aspects of advertising is being blasted with stimuli about so many different things you don't care for)

2. The ads are personalized on books you bought and therefor a sort of recommendation engine. Both my friend and my partner told me they got some inspiration from those ads to find books they liked.

So all in all while I despise ads, I gave this one a try. Personally (and yeah, I know – subconciously) I have never looked at the lockscreen apart from the first time I launched it. It's a relatively non-intrusive ad about a book that I don't even need to engage with. And in case something relevant is on there, it leads to a good outcome for me.

This is advertising done well for me at least.
We did it with our kids 7-8 years ago and it worked perfectly. They were riding bikes with pedals within a week or so.

The article does not mention the important difference in the steering wheel behavior: when you ride with trainer wheels (or a tricycle) you learn to steer by turning the front wheel; but when you balance on a bicycle you steer by rotating your body and turn the wheel only afterwards to "catch" the bike. These two modes of riding are almost opposite and if you learn the first one, you'd have to unlearn it the hard way.
