They are not morally equivalent but they are both morally deviant for different reasons.
You could say Hamas is more evil in intent though but Israel more evil by measure of death, destruction, displacement, imprisonment, war crimes, since they have the power to function as a free economy unlike Palestine which is occupied by Israel and they get arms and money from US tax payers.

Netanyahu was unpopular before then and this kept him in power most likely.
Israel is very cynical. View footage of soldiers throwing live grenades in refugee camps and laughing. The number of murders (not legitimate engagement) in Gaza. The culture is broadly Palestinians are animals to be killed with some people objecting to this slaughter either because of their Jewish religion or fear for the hostages.
On the Gaza side the people are protesting against Hamas who are equally evil.
Both Hamas and Israel (government) are happy to slaughter people to keep their power and footholds.
I would err on tbe side of cynicism. Israel had managed to overturn the first amendment in the US for example as such it relates to objecting against Israel overkill in Gaza.

Action is more important than intent. I'm sure many at Kodak knew that digital was a threat too. Organisational resistance prevents knowledge turning into action.

For uber you don't need a rating at all. The tracking system knows if they were late, if they took a good route and if they dropped you off at the wrong location.
Anything really bad can be dealt with via a complaint system.
Anything exceptional could be asked by a free text field when giving a tip.
Who is going to read all those text fields and classify them? AI!

Re:Building Burstables: CPU slicing with cgroups

Thanks! That was a pleasant read. I have been wanting to mess with cgroups for a while, in order to hack together a "docker" like many have done before to understand it better. This will help!
Are there typical use cases where you reach for cgroups directly instead of using the container abstraction?

Proxies for analytics are already a thing. E.g. plausable shows you how to set one up. A 3rd party cookie can however be the same value sent again and again from the same browser from different sites to the central server tracking you across the web. The global who you are is in the cookie.

That's the point. "$175k is good enough for me" doesn't mean much, especially as they also have a large stake in the company (not an assumption) as well as possibly other advantages (or not, they dont divulge).
Don't get me wrong. Rethinking comp is great and they are paying well. But you can't make the argument that X is enough for founders (plus let's forget equity!!) and so X is generous for everyone.

Yeah $175k plus 30% say stake in high growth company plus already owns home plus parents help woth kids and they own home nearby is different to $175k none of above.

Your brain is analysing the light in the "room" when zoomed out and compared to that it looks moist. When you zoom in there is no reference. I think then the brain switches from "real scene" analysis to "abstract".
It is a bit like those illusions where one grey looks darker than the other, based on surrounding shadows in the image and what the brain assumes... but the RGB values are the same.

Microsoft and Apple can afford to keep developing a browser. Hopefully FF can get money from another knowledge discovery company e.g. Anthropic? OpenAI?
Re:Joining Sun Microsystems โ 40 years ago (2022)

I wonder what stopped me being at that level. Mostly attitude, fear and perhaps aptitude. I liked things that were easy to install and follow tutorials. I got into Visual C++ as it actually installed as opposed to a magazine cover Linux distributionn that barely run. I think having the main system (gotta get those grades) takes most of the energy for most people. Either those who are happy to drop out or genius enough to both study and hack survive to do really cool stuff.

Re:Programming languages should have a tree traversal primitive
on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @11:07PM (#43840857)
It is even better to have 100 functions work on 100 data structures. Powerful programming languages like Lisp and Haskell give you that. Generics gives you most of that.
If every ounce of performance matters, e.g. in a database, you want 10000 functions, 100 for each data structure.

So if you now hide my original comment and try to recall what I said, do you know it word for word (and are thinking if every word, e.g. did I use one or 2 spaces somewhere as that would change tokens) or do you have a rough concept of what I said?
OTOH if you had to remember a phone number to write it down, how does that differ?
