Practically means receding army bases including the biggest American outpost the US has in the middle east at the moment (I'll let you guess which country that is).
It will never happen because it does not align at all with it's foreign / soft expansion policies.
Jokes aside. It's becoming more apparent, Power will further concentrate to big tech firms.
A bit like registering anti-ccp with a Chinese TLD.
Shouldn't be shocked when it gets pulled.
Currency is a freedom to perform transaction and arguably a given right, it's existed since humans learnt trade.
Cash allows anyone to transact without a prerequisite or control. Two parties. Centralised digital currency will change it.
That worry doesn't even include the privacy concerns and as systems become centralised either through standards or legislation. It will be easy to track someones habits or location globally.
Your comment doesn't stand to any reason and discussion here on HN are highly moderated, in my opinion at times it's balanced towards Israel as the term 'anti-semitim' is thrown around to stop any discussion and valid criticism about the Gaza war.
You can't appease everyone and 'anti-Semitism' has been weaponised very successfully by people who know exactly what they're doing.
There's many cells involved in sensing and relaying signals to the brain, and are damaged by a growing list of things (Antibiotics, viral, Osteoporosis, lack of blood flow, Acoustic trauma, protein loss - long lived proteins in the Cochlea). Even our own immune system has the ability to damage the Cochlea.
There is actually limited recovery of the OHC's at least but lack of regeneration potential. If there's a path to regenerate, it could one day fix the underlying cause and with this news it seems we're closer than we ever have been.
I have been following Tinnitus for quite a while now and it's assumed it's caused by some form of trauma to the Cochlear, either auditory nerve, IHC/OHC or SGN cells. Even with patient's with no record to prior trauma (potentially immune system dysfunction or compromised blood labyrinth barrier / BLB).
Now if this is continues to show success we could start seeing more therapies targeting the Cochlear by way of gene therapy and it potentially helping people with Tinnitus by treating it's underlying cause. I.e. Regenerating lost cells in the Cochlear.
There is zero treatment besides hearing aids / cochlear implants for sensory hearing loss in Human history until now.
We now all complain about the same issues; lack of care, pride of work or worksmanship.
They now manage offshore and treat them with alot more humanity. Sometimes will resort to 'ill speech' because they say 'it's how things work there as a boss otherwise they climb ontop of your head' which always makes me laugh when they say it.
It probably explains why I've seen offshore teams verbally abused and oppressively micro-managed by their managers, to extents that treatment would be illegal in the West.
I'd feel anxious if any life critical sector or even piece of software was developed from any of the large Indian consultancies I've had the displeasure of working with. As this attitude manifests itself almost every time sometime is delivered.
There's a shrew of threads on HN about poor, contaminated pharmaceuticals from India e.g. eye drops. The UK governments website on drug recalls have a large number of Indian manufactured products.
It's apparently a common request among people of certain professions.
Not sure if all models support it but I have spoken to someone who has had it done on a relatively new car (2020)
It's a big mistake they didn't invest in the space earlier.
Haha, that hit very hard after speaking to a home developer at how dire the building regulations are in the UK compared to the EU or even the US with the gov actively subverting better building efficiency regs.
Cronyism is rife in the UK, it's so open it stinks.
I think we'd still arrive at a weird place where we see people buying Asustor or other NAS hw just to run DSM even if it's not supported and but not a complete hack.
People buy convenience and DSM offers everything NAS related it really well.
I suppose they have internal plans to make DSM go the other way and lock out attempts like Xpenology. They aren't late either as other rival is still miles behind.
My Synology NAS for example has 8 GB RAM and a J4150 processor. Runs about 15 containers, Wireguard and on top DSM (which is Synology's OS). Usually idles around 1-3%.
Software makes all the difference - DSM has been by far the biggest benefit and surprise to me and I would be deprived of time with anything else. I'm running TrueNas as a second backup server but it no way compares to DSM. Sometimes I don't want to trawl through logs and trial and error just to get a basic CRON setup to backup a file off another server, there's countless examples where DSM has just worked.
I really think Synology is missing a trick here, they clearly have software that is miles ahead of everything else and customizable should you need to. They should be more like Microsoft of the NAS world, making DSM run on non Synology platforms, or at least making it easier to do yourself. It's a great OS and it sells itself and can easily be a way to up sell stuff like Active backup for business.
I remember being a little shocked when it was on the front page and shortly after was not. I've checked again from <4 months. Wonder if anyone else can recall the URL - I just remember it was a collective scholarly opinion with condemnation on the situation, it may not have been from opinionjuris but the article was very similar.
It was something like this https://opiniojuris.org/2023/10/18/public-statement-scholars...
HN claims they are different but they sensor more than Reddit, where at least have to be astroturfed with a majority.
It was a nightmare.
Last I checked it doesn't and had to run a separate service to advertise to the printer the paperless endpoint.
E.g. If sites used a hardcoded IP address, pihole will be useless. Same applies if devices such as TVs use their own DNS/DNS over TLS.
Sort of see IP + DNS blocking catching on next once pihole becomes ineffective.
