Listening to music with my young kids is a favorite. My wife and I also frequently invite other couples over to listen to vinyl and enjoy a cocktail or two. We like vinyl just because it has the physicality to it but I think anything here i

Executive (and upper management) hiring is much more about owning and using risk, getting the management unit (your part of the org) all aligned and singing the same tune, and for executives showing that you've done this successfully a

By that logic, PA had fighter jets. And no, limiting food and medical is not a war crime if the source being limited is from the captor and matches the treatment of their own troops.

PA was armed. > you are not allowed to murder unarmed soldiers, That's also false, you can absolutely kill unarmed combatants so long as they remain combatants. Eg you can bomb an artillery crew even if they don't have sidearms

Everything I mentioned was from the last year. My Lai was more than 50 years ago and the perpetrator was arrested, tried and convicted.

It isn't necessary that everyone play the game, it only takes one attorney group to create a sufficient hazard to these troll firms. Yes it is absolutely a dumb game and an unfair process, but playing dumb games and using unfair tactic

I notice people always respond with "but the US does this too!" and never actual incidents. No, I'm not going to just high five your vague head nod at wrong doing you can't even describe. Seriously, sit down, make a list

One of the issues is that these aren't proper DMCA claims, instead Google/Youtube do a weird pseudo-DMCA thing where they just agree to take down your content and make you argue about it. But the DMCA allows immediate countersuit

I suppose the UK could declare Palestine Action as combatants and hunt them down and shoot them.. but that doesn't seem very uh, appropriate. I sort of prefer them being arrested and going through courts.

Thank you for sharing. I think the sqlite-esque local file approach makes sense for a lot of use cases. What are some of the scales of the data you've been able to test this design on so far? What was the most interesting part of desig

Do you keep a list you can share? I'd love if there was a semi-authoritative list.

I use it heavily for personal use and find it works very well and lets me ship small applications quickly. I still use rust and other languages too as appropriate.

Basically try to not wash your merino and if you do, handwash. Otherwise just try to get merino blends which will hold up a bit better.

Merino as a fabric is just a more delicate fabric.

Do other people find 5.6 to be worse at most simple tasks and frequently over complicate things? I asked it to write a user todo and it turned out a four page essay. I gave the same task to 5.4 and got the small list of checkboxes I expecte

Not only is it very doable but the US consulate in your new country will literally help you fill out the paperwork. 1. Move to a new country 2. Present proof you have a new citizenship (you can't generally be "nationless" by

You can and should be making explicit choices in that framework. You should not buy phones connected to the mistreatment of the Uighur population - and that is doable. If you think the US is doing more harm than good, you are allowed to mov

You give your sister $100. You find out later that she uses $50 of that money to buy heroin and inject it in herself. Do you keep giving her the $100? Absolutely not! This isn't even a real question. If you directly enable a person or

The medical pipeline for opiate addiction has been gone for several years now. Most users were exposed to fentanyl unknowingly through buying other tainted drugs, often expecting percocet or even ecstasy. Some of these users do require meth

I am against marijuana but I think it's clear legalizing it successfully starves the cartel of a lot of drug financing (and therefore we should both legalize it and have public campaigns against using it, ala alcohol). Even the weird s

It surprises me how much Americans don't understand how deeply the cartel is in every transaction. Yes, sending money to Grandma to pay for a car is funding the cartel who probably got paid to make the car available. Grandma may even p

Vacuumed my secure lockup about once a month. At one point someone just brought in a vacuum so we didn't have to keep bothering to walk down the hall and borrow one from cleaning folks. Have arranged travel, run big group meals, and se

Everything is a parents issue. If you are depending on the police to keep your kid from doing drugs, you have failed as a parent. I promise you, your kid can locate drugs better than the cops can arrest low level dealers. You as a parent ne

It mostly just seems like the EU is becoming China. Soon they will have to firewall off most of the internet. After that comes VPNs. At least the EU is unlikely to agree on voting anyone in as a leader for life.

That's a parent issue, the same as if their kid has a secret stash of cocaine or enjoys dancing in traffic. No technical measure can fix stupid.

Software engineers. None of us work for YC, we are based in Texas. No oil/gas, nor defense, nothing like that. Years ago I had a recruiter that wanted to hawk me and I asked for 180k comp and he told me it was "impossible". H

None of my peers went to any school of note, nor did I. A fair bit of community college, some lower ranked state unis, and one guy did a bootcamp. All well above 200k.

My strong photographer opinion is that you should buy the oldest action camera that meets any resolution/framerate needs and treat it almost like a disposable. Buy on sales or used units. Use them on shots you genuinely are unwilling t
