I think blood-and-boden arguments for territory are bad, full stop. Israeli Jews shouldn't use them to justify continuing to displace Palestinian Arabs, and Palestinian Arabs shouldn't use them to justify displacing the millions of Jews who live there now.

To the best of my knowledge, the overwhelming scientific consensus considers Ashkenazi Jews descendants of Levantine ethnic groups, with both Southern European (Roman period) and Northern European (medieval onwards) admixtures. Some people use this to make irredentist arguments, which leads to ridiculous (and antisemitic) responses like the Khazar hypothesis. But the solution is to observe that irredentism is wrong full stop, not to attempt the erasure of Ashkenazi ethnic identity.

I know this isn't the time or place, but international law doesn't exist.

Well, it does but only by the consent of the participant and participants can withdraw their consent at any time, arbitrarily.

It's like how international treaties become worthless the second one party decides they don't want to abide by them anymore.

So, any time someone mentions "international law" I kinda just smirk a little bit and make the "jerking off and then ejaculating" motion with my hand.

The actual smallest country on earth, Tuvalu, can tell the UN to eat a bag of dicks and ignore every single plea to obey "international law" and the only remedy is embargo, begging, or the cruise missile.
As an aside: Solaris is something you can buy from Oracle, which they forked from OpenSolaris 15 years ago. SmartOS is a distribution of illumos, which also forked from the same code 15 years ago. They have since diverged, in some areas dramatically, so we (the illumos community) don't bill ourselves as being Solaris based.
I'm not OP, but the obvious question here is whether tougher punishments would be more of a deterrent given that this is something that hasn't been true in many other cases going way back.

In particular, there seems to be substantial evidence that, at least past a certain point (and we can argue whether we are at that point or not, but it's not something self-evident either), what matters more is how likely the punishment is to be applied than how harsh it is, so increasing it further doesn't really do anything productive, just provides a public spectacle.

> Real prices account for CPI, not the dollar's fall against international currencies

Real means inflation adjusted. How you deflate is a methodological choice.

For a consumer price, you deflate by the appropriate CPI or PCU. For producers, PPI. For international comparisons, either PPP or a trade-weighted basket of currencies.

The Nixon shock did not have an effect on real oil prices for OPEC members. It’s comforting to think complex events like the Oil Embargo have singular causes. But switching to Bitcoin won’t stop foreign wars or inflation or any of the things every country on metal standards dealt with for thousands of years.

They already had to do without Bowie and a few others that it seems Lynch might have liked to use (given what he did with the season), like Frank Silva (BOB) of course, and notably Don Davis (Major Garland Briggs).

I have a friend who really got into studying people who buy into conspiracy theories.

His conclusion mostly is that cleverness does not shield you from believing falsehoods. These are 2 distincts properties of the mind. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Smart people are very good at finding causes that justify what they believe in.

The point is that there is a ton of things that we know that are in fact based on beliefs. Like: did I ever see an atom with my own eyes? Nope. Did I see a clock slow down because it flew in a rocket really fast? Nope. Did I ever check that the moon landing looked legit? Nope.

One of my favorites is the controversy about Q-tips, there are tons of people who say it's bad for your ears, and then there's a guy who did a study that concluded that no study ever proved that Q-tips were bad for your ears. I know Q-tips are probably bad for my ears, but they feel so good, so whenever my wife brings up that I should stop using them, I always refer her to that one guy who tried to prove that Q-tips weren't that bad.
Never sticked to me. I guess if I had my own hackable RSS feed UI I would have a better experience.

I do love very dense and rich UI functionality with relevant enriched information too. Not some sort of list I need to click through.

As for cross platform usability. I never wanted anyone to our my RSS aggregations. 100% ownership and ability to hack in is very important for me.

I should probably reassess my decision as it's clearly much easier to turn everything into RSS feed with LLM coding or tools like N8n

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated
Assuming the 500ms is mostly delay for fetching data over a socket, unless the code is really broken that should not really be burning battery. <500ms for display of non-trivial network-fetched data is great regardless of whether it's rendered by react native or is a fully native app. They would both be I/O-bound on the network primarily, with a small but insignificant compute overhead for RN. If the data needs lots of transformation (though not compute-intensive transformation like calculating hashes or somethign) upon returning that could make a difference, though again I'd be surprised if CPU for RN vs native was all that different.

As an Elixir dev who aims for and routinely achieves <10ms response times, (and sometimes < 1 ms for frequent endpoints that I can hand optimize into a single efficient SQL query, which Ecto makes easy I might add!) I find the response time to be the more egregious part :-D

We Recovered from an OpenAI Account Deactivation
Hey everyone :)

We had an interesting incident yesterday. I wrote a blog post about it, thought it'd be nice to share it here as well.
I’m honestly baffled by how swiftly everyone demonizes cigarettes as the ultimate evil, as if that’s a done deal.

Whenever group-think is this loud, it’s a huge red flag we should crack open the raw data ourselves. Fisher wasn’t some mustache-twirling villain, just a stubborn contrarian pushing against the orthodoxy. And if Big Tobacco slipped him a check, that doesn’t automatically nuke his math.

Correlation hype is easy, real causation proof is hard, and I’d love to see all the data and methodology. We don’t push science forward by chanting from the same hymn book. We do it by asking hard, unpopular questions.
> As a human, I know that six to the power of one million is impossible.

This is plain wrong. If you roll a million dice, anything that comes up has the exact same probability. We think all 6 is special because it holds some meaning to us, but it is exactly as likely as any other result. So any result has a probability of 6^1M to happen. And yet, one of those 6^1M configurations will happen with probability 1.

no. I don't really understand what your point is. Are you trying to argue:

> They were Christian, thus you can be a scientific genius in your time and still Christian.

? You have to keep in mind, these people were scientific geniuses in a time where people had recently established that the Earth orbited the Sun. The first periodic table wasn't compiled until 1869, hundreds of years later. Given they had no alternative explanation, is it any wonder they were content with answers from religion? I'm not sure you realize this, but the whole separation of religion and science is a recent phenomenon. They used to be the same thing, just explanations for how the world worked. It was only when empirical evidence and scientific theories started explaining the world better than "the gods" that religion began claiming a separate sphere of influence.
If you control the IP or domain via a BGP hack, you can get a certificate issued while you control it, as long as you control it from the perspective of their CA.

You've got to be pretty lucky, or do a lot of IP cycling for your vector to be terribly useful. A paranoid user of IP certs would let their new public facing assignments settle for a week before using them; but I suspect few people will start using IP address certs, because of usability.
Totally OT, but I love your typo "a la cart". It makes me think of an early 20th century greengrocer with a cart of vegetables and fruit trying to appear more sophisticated by saying he's selling things "a la cart".
In the context of knowing who somebody is, to know if I should take advice from him, I think knowing what somebody did as a predictor does not tell me if he can help me or not.

The whole thing about prison does not apply to work, does it? I mean, I have switched tasks, countries, companies, industries many times. And through it, you could not believe I was the same person, as my behavior was very much influenced by the environment. That was pointed out by people who know me. So the trying to predict the future just doing linear interpolation of the past, no, it does not work with people in the professional environment.

I do believe you it works for convict felons. But I know nothing about it. On the other hand many many times in HN I’ve read comments of people that were in prison, and today are much better and are not looking back. Survivor bias you may say?

This isn’t a random crank we’re talking about. Robert Fisher is widely acknowledge as one of the foremost scientists in the last 100 years. His contributions to statistics alone would earn him that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Fisher

He was wrong about smoking, but the more you read about him the less you’ll believe it had much to do with money. He was used to being right about so many things, and in this area he was blind.

The article also throws shade at him as a “eugenicist.” I looked it up, and again, the truth is more complex. He wrote this in the 50s:

“I am sorry that there should be propaganda in favour of miscegenation in North America as I am sure it can do nothing but harm. Is it beyond human endeavour to give and justly administer equal rights to all citizens without fooling ourselves that these are equivalent items?”

So first — even using the word “miscegenation” puts you in a bad camp, and there’s no defending his attitude against interracial marriage. OTOH he seemed honestly to believe in the “equal rights” part, too. Too much of the old British “white man’s burden” bullshit, I believe.

> The free, informed consent which the letter of GDPR requires according to public and legally binding official interpretations (such as from the European Court of Justice) is not present when those dark patterns make it harder to refuse consent than to grant it.

I think here we've shifted the problem to dark patterns. The problem though is with the popups at all, because even when they are compliant, they are no less annoying, just slightly more clear.

> The problem in all of these respects is primarily very weak and reluctant official enforcement of the rules by the relevant Data Protection Authorities and very low fines when they do enforce them.

They probably shouldn't have claimed global jurisdiction then. Since that's a big part of what has resulted in so many poorly done cookie banners.
I suppose it depends if you are trying to help with people's wants or needs in a disaster situation. If 10 new sweatshirts and 100 used sweatshirts get airdropped into a disaster area, and all 10 new shirts get taken and 0 used shirts, then FEMA is right, cloths are not needed. However, if the cloths being new help people psychologically cope with the disaster, that's certainly a factor to consider.

I've touched on it in a few places, but you're right that there feels like a disconnect there which I didn't catch until pointed out. But there really isn't too much of a disconnect, and it's nothing nefarious. It's simply that over the years of doing #nocalls, I discovered that I was losing some leads that didn't want to cold email us, so instead, I added a 'discovery call' as a way to capture these leads -- not as a way to put myself, and them, into some sort of endless sales call pipeline, but as a way to start the conversation.

Really, all one of these discovery calls really are is a short 15 minute call where I intro myself for 30s, they intro themselves, and then I hear about their problem. After that, I tell them yes/no we can solve that with X/Y/Z, thenI tell them I'll follow up via email with additional links and documentation unless there are any further pressing questions. And in that email, I ask that they CC relevant team members onto the email thread for further discussion.
They don't do emails? What are they, illiterate?
