The one time I see surfing mentioned on HN and of course HN squeezes out the most nerdy take on surfing possible


Literally why I'm here


i've walked past y'all on many occasions and thought how cool it was! I had no idea there was such a large group of you :) I'll have to swing by and say hi sometime


google will almost certainly be acquiring gitlab


if someone next to you in a supermarket was wounded from an explosive like the video shows, do you think perplexed and completely unharmed would be a good description for your experience? Maybe we saw different videos, but it's pretty hard to make such a generalized statement from a few seconds of video.


Yes? Clearly the people directly beside the target were physically unharmed and confused about what happened. For all they knew the guy had an e-vape explode or something.

Maybe in the future they'll carry some emotional damage or something, but living in a country de facto in a state of war with a formidable nuclear-power neighbour, while governed by a terrorist organization that indiscriminately fires rockets into civilian areas essentially daily, carries that risk, right? I doubt such an operation was a surprise to anyone.


> if someone next to you in a supermarket was wounded from an explosive

that "someone" is an enemy combatant currently fighting a war

if they were wearing a uniform would you stand next to a soldier during an ongoing war?

if you were a soldier would you hide in a group of civilians?

there's a lot of blame to go around and Israel is far from clean, but the Hezbollah members are clearly also putting people in harms way by using them as a shield against attacks like this

And how did watching videos of Hamas beheading people on October 7th affect you? And how did watching videos from the Hezbollah attack on the children's football field, that killed a dozen children, affect you?


Look at their history, you are replying to an IP conflict bot account.


It's a damn shame that Israel funded Hamas in their goal of supplanting more leftist groups gaining ground in Palestine, and it's a damn shame that Israel has spent something like 70 years now assassinating various Palestinian political leaders, including vocal pacifist advocates.

Just like the Americans decreased the safety of Americans abroad by spending two decades radicalizing the middle east, Israel has decreased the safety of its citizens by always choosing to escalate the violence.

Wow, you’re actually admitting to being a terrorist sympathizer? You could have just made that clear earlier so we’d know who we were conversing with.


I'm not a terrorist sympathizer, like I said I side with Hamas and Hezbollah, not Zionism.


You don’t live in a society where the guy next to you at the supermarket is actively involved in terrorism strikes against the other country.

These kinds of comparisons are frankly just nonsense and so devoid of context


Yes I do. In fact, many of the VCs in our industry that I've had to deal with are Zionist terrorists cheering on this attack.


If you’re talking about California that’s just embarrassing


VC tech has killed many, many civilians.


Sure, and yet it is extremely cringeworthy to think your life experience is comparable to that in a high conflict zone of the Middle East


If the same people here are the ones killing people there, then surely you see the connection. I don't need to be the victim of a serial killer to not want to dine with one.


I've tried plenty of ear plugs for sleep, loud environments, and concerts. I'd stay clear of anything that's clearing putting most of the money into marketing like loop and talk to a audiologist or someone in the music industry. I ended up getting mine from "1of1 custom"[1] based on some research and references. They're a bit pricey, but based on the amount of loud environments I'm in they're literally life savers. I pair it with a sound level app made by NIOSH to let me know when I should put them in at bars/concerts.

I'm not entirely familiar with tangled trees, but it seems like one of the larger differences is that a tangled tree isn't necessarily acrylic. For this example, someone could navigate away from one page, but potentially be linked back to it later down the adventure.


> A tree with multiple inheritance (sometimes called tangled tree)

By the author's definition, multiple inheritance prohibits cycles. DAGs can be modeled as tree with back edges to non-ancestors. So I'm pretty sure tangled tree = DAG.

> For this example, someone could navigate away from one page, but potentially be linked back to it later down the adventure.

Good point, maybe "tangled tree with back edges to ancestors" is the really correct model for what the author wants. The key point of the visualization is to highlight the deviation from a standard DAG or tree.


The author already says that:

> It is technically a directed acyclic graph (DAG)

But DAG's don't have 'roots', they just have nodes. The concept of roots makes it a tangled tree.


I don't think it works that well at very small zoom scales (larger than a small state). I'm seeing a few machines here locally in San Francisco



Here's Twitter's documentation on how they identify state-affiliated media[1]. This excerpt makes the decision seem outside of the defined process:

  State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control 
  over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect 
  political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. Accounts 
  belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or 
  their prominent staff may be labeled.

  State-financed media organizations with editorial independence, like the BBC 
  in the UK for example, are not defined as state-affiliated media for the 
  purposes of this policy.

Just one example, the NPR article on NPR laying a bunch of people off has this disclosure at the end:

> Disclosure: This story was reported and written by NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik and edited by Acting Chief Business Editor Emily Kopp. Under NPR's protocol for reporting on itself, no corporate official or news executive reviewed this story before it was posted publicly.

https://www.npr.org/2023/02/22/1158710498/npr-layoffs-2023

This is a protocol specifically on "reporting on [themselves]" but it's a solid-ish example of the org not being a top-down controlled entity, and indeed, of making sure the org can report transparently on itself. NPR feels extremely not government controlled.


If you look in the article, it links to an archived copy of the same document, which included NPR alongside the BBC.


Could the British government influence BBC stories if they really went of the rails and attacked the govt?

I am not British and don't have a good feel for the BBC, though I am fairly confident NPR can do government hit stories and such.


Yes, both indirectly and directly. Indirectly, in that BBC editorial policy is a regular political football, especially with conservatives. Directly (and like all other media) though a 'D notice.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSMA-Notice


Didn’t the BBC recently take a soccer announcer off the air after he was critical of the conservative government?


EDIT: Removed fluff.

Q: At what point is Twitter itself a source of misinformation, or disinformation?

Q: At what point Could this labeling trigger reasonable legal action, around Twitter's apparent conscientious selective moderation => making Twitter "responsible" for everyone's tweets, by NPR?


I find it slightly weird that a product that's characterized by its attention to resolution and crispiness has no images/video or obvious links to such in their README.


I was irked by this as well. I suspect that if GitHub allowed people to copy-paste images directly into README.md we'd see more images in the description of such projects (not sure if they've added such features since the last time I wrote a README.md).


They did actually. You can paste an image into a Markdown file with cmd/ctrl+v.


Or drag-and-drop an image into a README or any other form of text on the site (PR description, issue comment, etc)
