so that's why Claude is so verbose

the title could be similarly written as "your big Mac might cost less if McDonald's pricing calculator thinks you need a discount"

one of the few social media sites that still allow lurkers

Sounds like the debate from 2 years ago whether the importer or exporter pays for tarrifs

one thing that doesn't fit is that I would expect a majority of nouns to be according to the animate / inanimate split. but from my (not so vast) knowledge, the split is either (mostly) the last letter of the word, or a list of suffixes

Jason Arday claimed to have run a marathon every day for a month.

Ideas like cheating on a college test should be jailable is why the US leads in number of jailed people

you could save some bytes by removing new Zealand, the world would still be recognizable ;)

oh well, it was a good way to view nsfw without logging in (like the oldiran subreddit without gore that simply was against the Islamic regime).

when reddit banned 3rd party apps, my productivity jumped. I guess it will go up a bit more after this

I would much rather encounter a hungry tick on a recreational trail than a hungry wolf

people might not like it if it was targeted, but if it got slightly damaged (and currently functional) as collateral damage to a military target, I assume more people would be okay

I expect nothing. In theory, northern Israelis would evacuate, just like how southern Lebanese evacuates when Israel issues a warning. Of course the main difference is that Israel seldom issues evacuation warnings. Iran has been shouting "death to Israel" for 50 years.

I was okay with most of the skimping with spirit airways, but what really annoyed me was their delays. I can plan ahead not to bring luggage and to sit cramped. But arriving at my destination 5 hours later was a deal breaker for me. I don't know if there are statistics for how delayed they are vs competitors, but after my second flight with them, I decided to fly with airlines that are more punctual.

the trackball is interesting

Ukraine has been violating that for young men since the start of its war.

I played around with hydroponics. in the end, they never ended up better than dirt. with dirt you have to water it, and fertilize every few months, but that's it.

with hydroponics, every week I was refilling the water, and adjusting the EC and pH. The end result was very similar to what dirt got me

Israel could have also "retaliated" to Spain's recognition of Palestine by recognizing Catalonia.

It's been 37 years. Since then many treatments for the disease have been discovered. We no longer commemorate the bubonic plague and we never commemorated lime disease. It makes sense that at some point we would stop commemorating other diseases.

I know this probably goes against hn ethos, but one of my most important features is the search. I store TB of data and it could be hard to find a picture. I want the cloud software to analyze the image so that I can search "2 people on Nothing street" and find it.

so far google is amazing at search. hopefully others will be better, but it's really hard to evaluate cloud software based on that

when it works it's amazing. but very often both my phone and laptop are connected to the same WiFi, yet kde connect can't see them. I can't figure out how to diagnose and solve that when it happens

I'm trying to find the official plan. I went to https://www.whitehouse.gov/wire/ and I see front and center "Trump unveils 20-point plan to secure peace in Gaza" which links to a fox news article which writes a summary " ... the third point of the document reads " but doesn't actually provide the document.

I can see it here https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/read-trumps-20-point-p... but I would much rather see it on some official government website.

> Israel is also prohibited from transferring detainees outside the occupied territory into Israel

That's very surprising to me. I recalled during the Iraq war that the US got a lot of condemnation for creating prisons outside of America, and therefore outside normal American jurisdiction. It appears that what America did was what they were required under international rules.

no worries. There's a whole lot of news happening. No need to be up to date with everything.

I think this is the bill https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/news/press-releases/house-f...

It still annoys me to no end that MSM refuses to link to the original source.

Here's the quote

> Authorizes the State Department to revoke passports to any individual who been charged, convicted, or determined to have knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

After several years, Iraqi Hezbollah recently released their Princeton researcher hostage (granted, she is a dual Israeli citizen). Maybe that will encourage more archeologists to visit.

US citizenship is a big liability for citizens living abroad. Our banks have to report how much money we have to an American criminal monitor. The fines of doing it improperly are so draconian that some financial institutions have refused to work with Americans for many years already. We have to file and sometimes even pay taxes on money earned abroad. We are practically forbidden from investing in many products that someone living abroad would typically do.

Another issue is if another country has some tax free benefits (like Roth IRA) America taxes the extra.

I'm still not sure what model to use for what task. Which oddly sounds like a great task for chatgpt to solve

> One of the Rabbis I watched recently said "when you kill the first child it breaks your heart [...] then you start to enjoy it."

Can you link to that video? I want to see it.
