New comment by axython in "How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized"

Nope. My main question is why journalists do not use official, readily available data, but instead talk about bullshit. How can you talk about aid, famine and not put this information in there is beyond me. The problem is not aid. the problem as proven by UN data is logistics and interceptions by someone(probably mostly Hamas, but even if it's some other peaceful side) How do we deal with that?

Just out of curiosity, what does "destroyed" mean in Israel case? Is this a situation, that can potentially lead to Israel ruled by Hamas and Hamas having a nuke and army, that can easily reach Europe? How is that "better"? There is a reason why no one, except extremists (on both sides, both Greater Israel or whatever, or Greater Palatine) support one state solution.

For anyone commenting on this, I'll leave this: Official aid delivery reported by UN. I'd also assume this to be of the lower side, as there probably is more that doesn't get reported thorugh UN 27720 mechanism. I find the fact that this article does not use this or point to this data very questionable, but maybe I am wrong and I am imagining things.

I have a question about those tools.

One thing I really like in the SoapUI, is the ability to have mocks(for both REST and XML), so I can mock the responses of some of the requests. Any of those other opensource alternatives have that option?

Why did I post this random post of someone random? I found it, read it and enjoyed it. Some amazing quotes and nuggets in here, at least for me, so I am curious about the conversation that it can lead to.

Uh, the people who supported developed and promoted her got, 300 mln when they sols the company and 11 years of revenue of her. Ive seen the rest of their artists and Ill assume like 90% of revenue came from T.Swift. A smart move is to not piss off the client who basicly is your whole cashflow.

New comment by axython in "Section 230 is Good, Actually"

axython — Sat, 05 Dec 2020 18:29:39 +0000

I am curious, how would that be defined a law? Daily users? Unique visitors?

Do you think in that case the government deserves to know much visitors your website has?

Also wasn't the idea of Section 230 to be more for the internet companies? Would repealing mean that the internet provider can be sued for what you do? Wouldn't that be the end result?

For me Section 230 is the cornerstone of the web, and I'd be very against its repeal unless you can show me that the web after that is better/safer for me and for my parents. I am all up for some clarifications as long as they do not limit my right to have a website that won't be sued out of the world for something that someone else does.

And about FB, Twitter, Google, Apple deal with them with a proper tool -- antitrust. Noone will ever explain to me why FB was allowed to buy Whatsapp and Instagram.

Why is this here? Well, I am kinda surprised of the budget this non-profit operates with and the range/popularity/quality they can provide on less than what a experienced senior software engineer can make in SV(373,000$ according to this blog post).

Ask HN: What is stopping people from unionizing in Tech Big 5?

axython — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 08:36:37 +0000

First, I would like to start with saying that I don't heva a horse in this race : I live in EU country and I am quite intrigued in the latests news coming from Google related to union busting and latest from Kathryn Spiers. I am not looking for arguments about why she deserves or not to be fired.

So my question is why don't her and other people in Google who want to form a union(as it's their right if they want) just start one? Allegedly by media, at least 5 people were fired for that in the last month. What's stopping those 5 people to have formed an union before they were fired? You start with 5 and get in as many willing people and voala. Isn't that how it works?

Is there any requirement in US about percentage of workforce that has to be in a union? Can you just start something with like 50-100 people(I'd assume that there is at least that many that would be willing to join if someone starts one) and then grow it slowly, using legal ways and start building channels with management.

P.S I'll try to state that I am not looking for pro or anti union oppinions. Forming an union is their right, and they seem to be wanting it, so my question is just why wouldn't they just start one using legal ways and means.

I'd be very curious to learn the difference between free/two clicks to enroll and a paid course.

I'd assume completion rate for something that you actually paid would be way higher.
