I made a guesstimate that it was cheaper for Britain to send unemployed people to Australia than it would be to feed them.
Possibly not. It's common for the UK to refuse entry if a traveler doesn't meet the entry requirements too. It is harsh to leave someone in detention when it would be easy enough to deport them.

I don't see Griner as comparable since it wasn't about immigration, unless you are comparing in the sense of scapegoating.
Pod Readiness Gates, unless I'm missing something, only help on startup.

Unless something has changed since I last went digging into this. You will still have the ALB sending traffic to a pod that's in terminating state, unless you do the preStop bits I talked about in the top of the thread.

Easy peasy, famines were commonplace in Spain during the Middle Ages (not sure how about part of it that was controlled by the Muslims though, but i don't think it was much different). During the Middle Ages, famines (and epidemics) were the natural regulator of population and were seen as a normal thing. By the XIX century of course, things were very different....

In Spain at the period, there were no famines because people kept emigrating to the colonies. Ireland was itself a colony. That's the difference. In Eastern Europe where countries didn't have colonies, famines were a norm.

Irish one is seen as something special because it happened in the West, and because overpopulation there built up for a considerable time being allowed by potatoes farming that for the time being, provided plenty of food allowing population to build up. Then it backfired.

As for local populations pre-existing in the colonies, sure they almost all died out. To a much larger proportion than the Irish, and sometimes, went entirely extinct. That is the normal part of absorbing new lands. It's just that Ireland was Christian almost since Christianity became a thing, and was never "discovered", that made it special. But we shouldn't pretend like it wasn't normal or in any way exceptional overall. Genocide is a natural way in which nations interact.
I don't know the exact standard. I was told this by one of the many people I worked with trying to get my CE. If I recall correctly it may have to do with the new IoT Cyber Resilience Act stuff.
Yes, in case your comment weren't a joke: animals not being slaughtered is quite an important reason. I eat meat but I'd me much happier to eat less cruel meat
You're welcome :) Another thing to keep in mind is, it's very adaptive to have prescience. See the tiger before it comes. Where there might be trouble is if the tap is turned on too much - no training, no framework, no strategy for handling it, maybe even no recognition of what it is - as it sometimes is in people. Then you might be overwhelmed, confused, and maybe fighting back - against something that actually could assist you were you to wield it properly.

I think most people have some amount of this, and have avoided the necessity and possible difficulty of handling it, by it being subconscious - their "gut" - (which is not always this, and may sometimes just be "analytical intuition" rather than "intuitive intelligence"). This arrangement gives them both "plausible deniability" if they want to dismiss psi in general, and protection from responsibility to develop it - which could entail tricky feedback loops etc without proper training.

So it's certainly evolved with us and is very adaptive, but I think the expression is mostly as a "subliminal subsystem" of your normal capacities. Just like training in subtle awareness can make you aware of things you might normally not pay attention to nor realize you have control over (such as heartbeat and breathing), it can also surface this.
There was a recent scandal involving someone spitting paan/chewing tobacco on the floor inside one of the state assemblies.

A video I watched of a brand spanking new metro station in Mumbai. Marble floors and all. And a commenter pointed out a timestamp where you can see paan/chewing tobacco spit in a corner of the floor.

Here's what baffles me. It is well established that Indians chew paan/chewing tobacco. It is well established that they then spit these out. Why don't they have spitoons installed inside the state assembly or metro stations? Treat it as a cultural opportunity: create beautiful spitoons with culturally relevant designs on them. The type kings used to have in their courts. And have them sponsored by businesses (i.e. let them post digital banner ads on them). Enlightened capitalism!
Except by your Secretary of State, who Schumer petitioned to get Coogan his visa for academic touring when it was strangely denied by the Dublin Embassy.

Yeah, the idea that Trump won't try to make him whole somehow if the trends continue their downward trajectory seems hard to believe. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump mandates Tesla purchase quotas for GSA gov, which seems to manage the portal for vehicle purchases for fed agencies and/or employees. And then as the cherry on top mandate that the USPS use Cybertrucks to deliver mail. Or make up the difference by giving Starlink and SpaceX additional contracts to make up the difference.
I can't believe anyone can fall for this. It's so obviously a modern take on that Rockwell Retro Encabulator joke.
Can it do tiling -- or any other kind of -- windowing, though?

I've tried it, briefly, and my impression was that it's full-screen (or full-terminal-emulator-window) only. Which means it's not the same kind of thing at all.

There are various full-screen terminal multiplexors out there, but the point is this:

* modern screens are big and can show hundreds of rows and columns

* very long lines are really hard to read

* So, I want a tool to split up that big space into multiple smaller windows. I want to be able to keep eyes on several things at once, side by side.

* With shorter, more readable lines.

Yes, Sigma ART lenses are insane for that price. Also, they look very elegant compare to plastic Canon lenses.

How the specific electoral system works is irrelevant. In our case, our electoral system is designed to make most voters' votes not actually matter, so I really don't care about it one bit when talking about who had more or less support in the country as a whole. Trump only got 1.5% more votes than Harris did. That's not a blowout.

Even if you insist on going by electoral votes, 58% to 42% isn't a blowout either.
This is an absolute non-issue, as others have commented.
Even without domain-specific knowledge, we can see this is all nonsense: 'Allow attackers to carry out impersonation attacks' - the same thing that can be done with any number of legitimate and useful applications designed for developing with BLE, available on Android marketplace :*)

On any embedded platform which allows low level access to a radio transciever of any kind, it is possible to exercise all functionality, which will include various possible attacks. The only thing which prevents this in the industry at present is obfuscation, which most manufacturers (other than Espressif) dont bother with.

Take Nordic for example, who make probably the best and most widely used/respected BLE chipset: the full functionality of the transciever can be used via a relatively small set of registers, which are fully documented. Nordic supply a BLE stack, but you can perfectly well write your own instead, meaning that you can deliberately or accidentally abuse all aspects of the protocol.
Even at physical level, one can easily conduct simple jamming attacks, by broadcasting full power carrier signal on the BLE advertising channels.

None of this naughtiness is a security flaw. BLE and other wireless protocols in common use are well designed to be resistant to jamming, and the physical implementation of the radios on various SoCs available currently are limited: you cant put out 10 watts of hash over 82 channels at once, because the silicon doesnt support it.
You cant even 'sniff' BLE traffic in a real sense, because the silicon on requires a significant number of bytes of 'address' in order to capture any meaningful packet data from ambient noise.

Here is C code, as a fun example, to broadcast full power carrier on any channel, from Nordic NRF52. This is absolutely documented and useful for testing (for example emissions).

// set channel to number between 0 and 100
int channel = 0;

nrf_radio_shorts_set(0);
nrf_radio_int_disable(~0);
nrf_radio_event_clear(NRF_RADIO_EVENT_DISABLED);
nrf_radio_task_trigger(NRF_RADIO_TASK_DISABLE);
while (!nrf_radio_event_check(NRF_RADIO_EVENT_DISABLED)) {}
nrf_radio_event_clear(NRF_RADIO_EVENT_DISABLED);

nrf_radio_mode_set(RADIO_MODE_MODE_Ble_LR500Kbit);
nrf_radio_shorts_enable(NRF_RADIO_SHORT_READY_START_MASK);
nrf_radio_txpower_set(0);
nrf_radio_frequency_set(2400 + channel);
nrf_radio_task_trigger(NRF_RADIO_TASK_TXEN);
So, about the excitons - this is a bit like, with semiconductors, people talk about the "holes" as though they were particles moving and interacting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_hole

but it's more like a way of describing a system.

Which also means that nobody is making a solid object from photons, it's all "behaves like a solid would if you look at our system a certain way". Right?

Also - I don't see how the phrases "behaves like a solid" and "presents flow" can agree. Isn't the whole point of a solid that it _doesn't_ flow?
I agree with you. People using this kind of service likely already have some self-awareness about their social media habits. In the end, self-discipline and personal boundaries might be a better solution than relying on external tools. But I think we can also consider this as another approach to finding a better solution.
Your parent implied that whether a device is bricked depends on the skillset of the user. So if its subjective, there isn't much point in arguing "when" its bricked, right?
I've seen several multi billions companies running big processes in Excel. No automation, just put more human workers on the spreadsheets.

Show HN: Stackfix – Compare B2B SaaS Features and Pricing
Hi HN! I'm Camin, co-founder of Stackfix. We've built a B2B SaaS comparison platform to solve problems we experienced when buying software.

Evaluating SaaS tools today typically requires piecing together information from marketing pages, user reviews, and sales calls just to understand features and pricing. Existing comparison sites unfortunately don't solve this because their business models depend on incentivized reviews for vendors [1].

Our approach is different:

- We have in-house human experts who test every product using consistent, category-specific rubrics.

- For pricing, we combine vendor information, mystery shopping, and customer data to build models that reflect detailed costs, based on your usage.

We'd love feedback on two core features in particular:

- Pricing calculator: https://stackfix.com/pricing-calculator - Get estimates without talking to sales

- Side-by-side comparison: https://stackfix.com/compare - See true feature parity

We're starting with comprehensive coverage of major categories (CRM, ATS, Product Analytics etc). We're focused on depth over breadth for now. Thanks for taking a look :)

The British Empire ended the hideous practice of Sati ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice) ). It also unified India and built the railroads. The Indians paid a very heavy price for this though. The East India compoany was rapacious. Before the British colonised India, it was one of the richest countries in the world. When it left, it was one of the poorest.
The final sentence of this review is this:

> MacCulloch’s unspoken conclusion might well be that religion should begin again from scratch.

The Great(est) Command(ment) is to love our Creator with all our being, and then love our neighbor as ourself.

As Jesus was of the House of David, and the Quran states that the Gospels were sent by God just as it was, there is the single foundation upon which religion rests.

Now, if only people earnestly sought to live their lives according to that greatest of commandments, to thus love their enemies and to treat others like they were treating Jesus, himself.

Of course, the paradox of tolerance requires that we love the oppressed more than the oppressor, so if we have to deal with folks with Nazi-like tendencies, we must love them (in our hearts) while we strip them of their power to harm others.

As with all things human, our having free will means it is completely our choice whether we seek to obey any of God's commands. Just know that we all reap what we sow, for good or ill, so I suggest you act on behalf of others' happiness whenever possible.
I don't think it matters the framework, it's an issue with the ALB controller itself, not the application.

The ALB controller doesn't handle gracefully stopping traffic (by ensuring target group de-registration is complete) before allowing the pod to terminate.

Without a preStop, Kube immediately sends SIGTERM to your application.

> Not giving any aid today means condemning masses to death.

It’s not the responsibility of foreigners to feed other countries’ populations. Those countries have governments made up of adults (often voted in by the masses) who can take decisions for themselves…it’s their fault if their citizens are left to starve, not foreigners.

> Or you mean the Haitian leaders are paid exactly to keep the population half-starving?

It’s not intentional, but that’s what inadvertently happens. There’s little incentive to find unique domestic solutions to long-running issues when foreign saviors are willing to cover for the Haitian government repeatedly.

At some point, we should admit that it’s arrogant for foreigners thinking they’re responsible for another country’s problems and should be the ones solving them, not the locals.

The above reasoning is what caused the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on wars and so-called nation-building in Afghanistan and Iraq, all to no avail.

It helped neither the locals nor the U.S., where these wars have contributed to political turbulence with dire consequences.
It's clear to anyone paying attention that LLMs hit a wall a while back. RAG is just expert systems with extra steps. 'Reasoning' is just burning more tokens in hopes it somehow makes the results better. And lately we've seen that a small blanket is being pulled that way or another.

LLMs are cool, machine learning is cooler. Still no 'AI' in sight.
The amount of issues I have seen in the last ~20 years caused by "off by one" type of errors in Excel is insane.

Few examples:

- incorrect schedule for the electricity grid for an entire country

- incorrect assessment of an airport use for an airline (causing few millions USD loss in revenue)

- incorrect financial position assessment for a mine (resulting incorrect deciosion to optimize the wrong business process, not sure about how much they lost)

Making illegal states unrepresentable is a concept that benefits programming langues and business processes alike.
It's not just labels who aren't getting the artistic side of music. Copyright collectives are just as bad. If you give away your music for free under a license like the creative commons they will still collect money for any public use.

> But the past three decades, wars between states have become blissfully rare, as states rarely invade their neighbors and seek to conquer their territory.

This has had far more to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union. It hand-waives away the issue of Ukraine without even mentioning Israel, and ignores lots of regional conflicts (e.g. Yemen, the Central African Republic), Afghanistan, and ISIL.

The insistence that China doesn't count as a viable alternative because they have shopping malls and social media now also strikes me as misinformed.
No, that's not just as arbitrary. Please don't make bad-faith arguments.

The popular vote count is a measure of the level of support for the candidate.

The electoral vote count is, unfortunately, how we determine who gets the office, and that's literally it. It just tells us who did better at influencing voters in a handful of states that actually matter in the idiotic electoral college system, putting the result of the election into the hands of a small minority of voters. That says nothing about the overall support a candidate has.

In the end, Trump had the support of 1.5% more actual voters than Harris did. It wasn't a blowout, he has no mandate. And we really have no idea what would have happened if our system was based on the popular vote. If candidates had to campaign in every state, to get every voter out that they can to support them, the final results would probably not look the same as what we go.
Nah not really, I grew up in communism/socialism and it was literally forbidden by laws to not have a work, that was ticket straight to jail.

Of course any form of intelligence, university educated or former bourgeoisie suffered way more, got menial or at least underpaid jobs that paid barely for survival.

Both my parents had good university degrees in engineering (back when less than 5% of their peers managed to get to uni, economics and mechanical engineering/welding), and were paid maybe half of what some trench diggers or field workers got and barely scrapped to make ends meet.
> The officially recognized effects of the nuclear accident are major (2203 victims and a huge and expensive cleanup effort): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident_cle...

2203 is around of the average aviation deaths per year yet we don't stop building planes. As always with Nuclear a lot of the costs are also because of the extra abundance of caution due to irrational fear - properly cleaning up a coal operation (which is what Germany is currently using for reliable baseload) to the same standards would cost just as much.

> This is not 'manipulation' but raw facts.

It's fearmongering.

The number of victims depends entirely on what you count as a victim. And it depends entirely on the chosen response to the incident much more than the incident itself.

> They took notice.

Always using the passive voice as if that would hide that this is something being pushed onto the general population.

> Moreover it is quite difficult to envision a solar plant or wind turbine fleet cause such disaster, therefore the "but we NEED to be exposed to such ordeal!" became moot during the 2000's.

No shit if the energy production is more spread out the incidents will be more spread out as well. And easier to ignore. But not doing less damage in total.

I might agree with you if the UC/LC innovation were burdensome to "implement" (i.e. to remember). But, well, it's about as burdensome as understanding that on Unix, a filename that starts with a dot is normally hidden. In other words: instantly grokable and memorable.
And who is the mythical hollywood figure untainted by the culture war that could pull voters from the other side.
