Hezbollah has a political/civilian arm. This is my last reply in this thread.

1. I was responding to the incorrect point that pagers are not used by civilians. 2. You are aware that Hezbollah has a civilian/political arm, right? 3. Surely Israel - the most moral country on the planet - painstakingly vetted pager

Doctors still use pagers. I don’t know about Lebanon in particular, but I would wager they still use them there too. The rest is a bunch of hypotheticals. I am also unsure where the conclusion that Hezbollah is dead is coming from. Was thei

It was indiscriminate in timing, location, and device possession. Unless you’re saying that the country behind a self-evaluated >80% civilian to combatant kill ratio in Gaza went through rigorous protocols to minimize harm in this attack
275.
by Cyph0n 10mo ago
So the indiscriminate mass detonation of explosive devices is not terrorism? Are you aware of how many civilian casualties there were as a result of this attack? Would this be acceptable if Hezbollah did this to Israeli military officers?

Tailscale (and similar services) is an abstraction on top of Wireguard. This gives you a few benefits: 1. You get a mesh network out of the box without having to keep track of Wireguard peers. It saves a bunch of work once you’re beyond the

I am particularly interested in coops as a model for a tech startup. How would one go about structuring a new corporation to best ensure it remains a coop?

Absolutely crazy.. I never expected that the difference would be so drastic.

Nix is centered around the local Nix store and binary caching. As long as the specific version of Erlang you’re using is present in either your Nix store or the global cache for your OS and arch (at cache.nixos.org), you should not need to

This is changing, because the ruling class of politicians and billionaires is discovering that things can actually change if they don’t control the narrative, especially in the age of social media. Read up on the motivations behind the TikT

Nah, you’re just not good enough. I for example would have never made that mistake when calling hover(int32_t) in C. And on the off chance I did, my reviewers would have caught such a simple mistake because they too are excellent C develope

Sure, but I don’t think this is relevant to the comment thread we’re in, which started off by sharing generic advice that mostly applies to TED-style motivational talks or “keynotes” at large conferences etc.
285.
by Cyph0n 1y ago
But this was a technical presentation at a conference dedicated to the technology in question. A person stumbling across this on HN does not magically make them part of the target audience.

Good advice for presenting a TEDx talk. Bad advice for a technical talk.

Cisco is still in the SP networking space, but they’ve been pushing heavily into datacenter and core routers generally (vs. edge which are more common in SP networks). Granted, I only worked as a lowly dev in the Cisco SP routing team, and

Re-read the comment I replied to. I wasn’t the one who brought up how Nokia is the closest company to the US for network hardware.

by Cyph0n 1y ago
> As the other global options for network hardware Hence my comment :) Nokia does in fact compete with Cisco and the others, but less so than in the past.

by Cyph0n 1y ago
Why are you forgetting about Cisco, Juniper (now HPE), and Arista - all of which are US companies? Also, why is Nokia closer to the US than Ericsson?

Yes, they did well given the odds.

Lots? There are 100 or so countries between Asia and Africa. And we are talking about a handful of East Asian countries.

by Cyph0n 1y ago
But I just pointed out that China is an exception? Also, China had access to human capital at a scale that no African country had. Japan pre-45 was a world power, and had industrialized by the early 1900s. WW2 was a mere setback. Korea is m

This is excellent advice. I personally rarely joined group study sessions, but thinking back, I should have joined more of them. To expand on one of the points listed here: do a first pass through questions before writing a single thing and

Can we please stop propagating the flimsy conspiracies about the 2011 revolutions? They started entirely organically, but some unfortunately devolved into wider conflicts. At worst, this conspiracy infantilizes Arab populations by removing

Precisely. Liberation movements have various tools at their disposal. But using the same tool in a different context does not guarantee a similar outcome. On Gandhi in particular, many do not realize that there were parallel movements insid

First, ending an occupation and apartheid is not “changing borders”. You are maliciously oversimplifying the situation in Palestine. Second, are you seriously saying that people’s feelings have nothing to do with injustices waged upon them
