Yes, it is the better for the country C, if A wins the contract. However, the people who makes the decision for the country C cares about their bribes; that's what third world politicians, bureaucrats do--get fat bribes for their retirements, investments--because that's the best deal for themselves.

Ah yes - the solution to gun violence is everyone carrying a gun.

a single individual woman in California who inherited her family rental units business in Southern California made seventy thousand dollars a month personal income before taxes, for the year of 2019. The number of apartment complexes is about a dozen, of varying sizes. It is not clear that she has any real duties on a given week, living far away from the location with no contact details.

Funny how usage of the the word moat simply exploded here on HN a few weeks ago.

I already passed it on to the team. Sorry you've had this difficulty.

In a courthouse in the near future:

"So, yeronner, I think you will agree that I was well within my rights to share a torrent of the new Batman movie, not for people to watch but so they could train their LLMS on it."


Thank you!

At this point they need McKinsey et al.

irc can be good (libera chat) - it's a shadow of its former self, but some languages still have fairly active and intelligent channels.

I've never used it myself, but I'd be really surprised if it somehow managed to be worse than Adobe Digital Editions.

Is it progressive? If not, it’s hate speech.

Pakis must die? Hate speech. Well off people must die? Free speech.


Working class solidarity is the only solution.

I recently realized that people should understand they have more in common with (and must have solidarity with) the next people down on the socio-economic rung instead of trying to climb the ladder in hopes of joining those on the next rung up.


We've had localized programming languages: Visual Basic for Applications in Germany had "prüfe" instead of "select" (yes, with Umlaut): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic_for_Applications?...

Today German Excel still doesn't accept "XLOOKUP", but insists on "XVERWEIS". On input, that is, it silently converts languages when opening .xlsx files.


Then if houses are larger and density is higher then one can conclude that the UK has more green spaces, non-developed areas whole NJ is fairly built up? Which also conversely has an impact on quality of living.

If I may be so bold, it resonates (with you, with me, with most people) because the idea that one can make revolutionary discoveries that contradicts the status quo as an outsider is an inherently attractive idea. It scratches many emotional itches: tweaking the nose of "the man"; suspicion of institutions; being an unknown hero (before the discovery); discovering one's inherent, but unrecognized, greatness; and more.

But the reality of the matter is that for every Krapivin, there are thousands of other people who tried but did not. And more importantly, there are hundreds of others who did the work, gained the foundational knowledge, and THEN made a discovery that changed how we think about the world even if only a tiny bit. While it's not as romantic, it's the way reality works. Mostly.

It sounds like Krapivin is continuing his education. And hopefully his hard work will hone his brilliance and help him to make even more discoveries in the future.


I have heard Cloudflare is currently in the throes of an offshoring to India debacle.

How the mighty have fallen.


Yes, but they've likely already optimized any code that's part of their ad networks to support http/3 anyways. They're not necessarily going to lose sleep if other components doesn't support it.

This intrigues me, can you share more about this?

Putting cert parsing in (monolithic) kernels seems like a bad idea; cert parsing has a long history of security vulnerabilities, and you don't want that kind of mistake to crash your kernel, let alone lead to privilege escalation or a takeover of the kernel itself.

Regardless, your proposal suffers from the usual stuff about proliferating standards (https://xkcd.com/927/): a kernel interface will never get fully adopted by everyone, and then your "10+ ways" will become "11+ ways".

Meanwhile, all the major OSes have their own trust store, and yet some apps choose to do things in a different way. Putting this into the kernel isn't going to change that.



Yeah it would be, and it is more pointed than the other cases people are talking about. But it could happen.

Thanks for mentioning that! I have no experience with this console but a friend already recommended me looking into the Switch. Need to confirm that what you say also applies to Minecraft on the Switch and then I would do the...well...switch.

One should also note that Thorium is a remarkably crappy app to read Epubs on.

Agreed, but PAC-Bayes or other descendants of VC theory is probably not the best explanation. The notion of algorithmic stability provides a (much) more compelling explanation. See [1] (particularly Sections 11 and 12)

If I open the page, I see "Sous-vêtements 2.0", the translation for underwear in French. Sadly, this does not look like 3d printable lingerie.

Good point. Bezos would likely be encouraging, if not facilitating that oppression.

I just dump it into chatgpt and get it done in a sec

I may be wrong, but that seems to miss the key point - on Twitter, there was an initial 12 hour period of almost no visibility, then the hate bots, then visibility.

Bots you could say - well, who knows where they are from - but that delay? and then visibility after the bots? on the face of it, that's Twitter and only Twitter, and means the bots are Twitter too.

Also, the positive bots hitting the posts of that awful video of the mass deportation. If Twitter is running hate bots, it'll be running love bots too.


There is something to be said for the three languages (“levels”) to actually look sufficiently different from each other, so that when looking at some code it’s immediately clear which one it’s in. Making them too similar increases the likelihood of mistaking which one you’re in, and applying the mindset of one to the other.

Another reason to do that is that the different levels are amenable to different affordances, and have different trade-offs in their design. For example, at level 4 you may want to go for a more BASIC-like syntax, without semicolons, and commands without argument-list parentheses.
