Based on satellite imagery from Maxar and reports from Iran state news agencies, they moved the uranium in about 50 trucks to a “safe location” [1].

From Reuters [2]: > Hassan Abedini, deputy political head of Iran's state broadcaster, said Iran had evacuated the three sites some time ago. > "The enriched uranium reserves had been transferred from the nuclear centres and there are no materials left there that, if targeted, would cause radiation and be harmful to our compatriots," he told the channel.

Have you paid attention to who can hold power in, say, Iran? Or Saudi Arabia? Or Syria? Or Jordan?

Israel isn't any more apartheid than any of those places. Given that Israeli Arabs can and do vote (and become Medical Doctors), Israel is a heck of a lot _less_ apartheid than those places.

Consider travel... it can help you get outside the "american" box.

Practice. I've had a couple periods where I went from reading constantly to not reading at all, and the only way to read more in one sitting is to read more. At the start you may only be able to do 15 minutes or so before you have to get back to the feed, and that's ok. Later that day you can do another 15 minutes, and tomorrow you can bump that to 30 minutes at a time. You can jump-start that by reading things that keep you glued to your seat rather than things that you need to read, like fiction instead of, say, an O'Reilly manual, but those books that are in the "want to have read" category instead of the "want to read" group are always going to be harder

The deal Trump has been offering the last few months, which Iran has rejected, is pretty much similar to the previous one. So you could say Trump shouldn't have pulled out of the Obama deal, that may be true, but you could also say Iran should have taken this deal instead of trying to drag negotiations forever. It's clear to all intelligence orgs out there no country with a civilian only nuclear program enriches Uranium to the level Iran has.

Nothing stopping you from carrying your own reusable straw around with you.

Finally, most of the (local, not even thinking about the developing world) pollution is not deliberate. It blows in from other places, usually. I live rural and I'm continually picking up plastic garbage from my ditch or back forest or fields that blows in from the nearby highway and roads, especially after garbage pickup day.

Production needs to be severely curtailed.

You will love this amendment (14th) from the US Constitution then, it’s a banger with it’s opening text that describes how states are responsible for protecting the people in their borders and giving them due process, citizen or not:

> All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

You know because it’s hard to make a case about being a country of rights, due process, law and order if you don’t extend that to the people within it’s borders.

The blue cities are enforcing the Constitution as sanctuary cities are legal laws of those states. The red states and federal government are violating it.

We tend to prefer stories where there is neatly a good guy and a bad guy. Much easier to reason and support our own moral perspective.

Reality doesn’t work like that. Netanyahu may indeed be a war criminal. That doesn’t make Iran the good guy and it doesn’t mean their stonewalling was not likely shielding the development of an offensive nuclear capability.

America’s sole responsibility is in its protection and the deterrence of these programs, regardless of who you have to hitch your wagon to. I really wish peace with Iran were possible. I see no evidence they’re interested in that peace.

> I expect (ok, I WORRY) a major US city to have a nuke set off in it by Iran within the next 5 years.

It's strange how this "Sum of All Fears" scenario is dismissed out of hand, or doesn't even occur, to the tankie-types on HN and reddit rooting for the Ayatollah to cross the nuclear finish line--the same Supreme Leader who, three days ago, permitted large protests in Tehran where crowds chanted "Death to America" and burned US flags.

Even weirder is that many (most?) of them are urban types who live, or aspire to live, in big cities like NYC or LA so they can enjoy the large LGBTQ communities, the ethnic restaurants, the bars serving craft IPAs, and the reduced commute times to and from protests. Hasan Piker, a prominent tankiefluencer, lives in LA, for example. So you would think they especially would have misgivings about Iran's enrichment program, even if they don't support intervention against it. And yet most of them dismiss any concern over it, or even outright state Iran should have nuclear weapons.

There are a few good explanations already (also less good and very bad) so I give a simple example:

You throw a coin five times and I predict the result correctly each time.

#1 You say that I have precognition powers, because the probability that I don’t is less than 5%

#2 You say that I have precognition powers, because if I didn’t the probability that I would have got the outcomes right is less than 5%

#2 is a bad logical conclusion but it’s based on the right interpretation (while #1 is completely wrong): it’s more likely that I was lucky because precognition is very implausible to start with.

Let's wait and see if they're still unhappy about the bombing in one week. This is a pattern I've seen time and time again with his base, e.g. with January 6th - they start off unhappy & surprised until their media has started sharing theories and viewpoints that slowly move them towards accepting and supporting whatever happened.

I'd love to be wrong here, but I don't think I am.

I expect that the frequency of violent crime is predictive of police behavior towards crime.

When it's rare, then it's easy and reasonable to take a highly idealistic approach. When it's frequent you have to deal with uncomfortable practical issues like whether an officer should prioritize your survival, or their own. There's a line where heroics turn into suicidality, and that's largely driven by frequency.

> About 1 of every 5 eggs sold in America are laid by a Cal-Maine hen.

Jesus, what a lot of market concentration. Alone the lack of genetic diversity... because there's no way in hell that such a large company doesn't want only the most profitable chicken they can get, and only that kind of chicken.

> What the deputies remembered most about the Warwick farm, though, was the time in 2011 when a fire killed 300,000 hens.

And that is just as harrowing. How the fuck are such large stables even allowed, why does regulation not demand separate stables and enough clearance to prevent the spread of fire?

But it's just chicken, eh, who cares about them...

Unless I’m missing some big numbers somewhere you could do that locally on a pi 5 with efficient code. Nothing heroic required, just a decently fast language like Go.

My laptop can run 70B LLMs at usable speeds.

I know. Doesn’t scale. No redundancy. No auto redeploy on failures. This is what I mean.

Do we really have to sacrifice this much efficiency for those things or are we doing it wrong? Does the ability to redeploy on failures, cluster, and scale really require order of magnitude performance penalties across the whole stack?

> Discussion regarding a commit (is: review) and acknowledgment of a commit cannot happen before the commit has been made.

It can't happen before the commit on a feature branch, but it can happen before merging the commit back to the main development branch. Given that a rebase or merge commit is already frequently necessary to integrate changes from a feature branch after review is finished, I don't see why this type of info couldn't be added (or even required to exist) before merging.

We had UV-stabilized resins for the past two decades or so, but it just slows down the process. I used several UV-stabilized products and it just doesn't last.

For the UV-stable options, you have polyesters (which are very smelly) and premium aliphatic polyurethanes (which are finicky to work with).

Slavic mythology isn't that unknown. We know that a thunder god (Perun) was on top of it. In Finnish mythology, it's pretty clear Ilmarinen (a sky/weather God) is on top of it. Though it has a specific thunder god (Ukko), they seem to think he came later and took over thunder from the sky god.

Celtic mythology doesn't have a sky god on top, it's true. But it has the same issue as Norse mythology: in the form we know it, it's much younger (and probably influenced by) Christianity.

Its safe to assume a state's public goals are a lie, especially during a war.

My point wasn't that their stated goals can be met without a ground invasion, it was that a ground invasion fought only by Israel will be extremely difficult for them to win, if not impossible.

I'm not sure what your point is about death threats, or what threats you're referring to. Trump has pretty directly threatened Khamenei. The threats I remember seeing from Iran are always vague and pointed mostly at a desire for the Israeli and US governments to die - though dangerous statements to make, I wouldn't consider those death threats.

Don't misread me here as defending Iran, both sides in a war are to blame and the history of this problem goes back decades.

This is a strangely limited view. Cloud providers have done the work of building fault-tolerant distributed systems for many of the _primitives_ with large blast radius on failure.

For example, you'd be hard pressed to find a team building AWS services who is not using SQS and S3 extensively.

Everyone is capable of rolling their own version of SQS. Spin up an API, write a message to an in memory queue, read the message. The hard part is making this system immediately interpretable and getting "put a message in, get a message out" while making the complexities opaque to the consumer.

There's nothing about rolling your own version that will make you better able to plan this out -- many of these lessons are things you only pick up at scale. If you want your time to be spent learning these, that's great. I want my time to be spent building features my customers want and robust systems.

I’m very concerned how one can just hop on a tuk-tuk and start riding it! Two-wheelers are easy if you know how, and so does the four-wheelers (cars). But for the three-wheel tuk-tuk — people don’t practice for that.

During college days, on a fateful night, I took two friends and rode the manual rickshaw. There was no way to control that, even though I can ride a bicycle very well. I remember hitting a pole near an electric transformer and all three of us thrown out and plunged into a pond nearby (that saved us). We were pulled out by the neighbors. Nothing bad happened, besides some bruises. But I’m not touching anything three-wheeled ever again.

I'm claiming that the alleged air superiority is most likely partial and temporary.

I can make no specific claims as to any actions by any one involved in the conflict, if iran had shot down f35s presently, it'd be highly likely covered up by both sides. Iran to protect knowledge of its capability, and israel to ensure domestic morale is maintained.

Either way, that wasn't my claim.

- There is only one Israeli citizenship. Jews have it. Israeli Arab Muslims have it. Israeli Arab Christians have it. Druze have it. It's the same.

Is there discrimination, in all directions? Yup. The world is a tribal place.

But you should move on from that "tiered" thing. I live here. I have been doing a project with Arabs for the last two weeks. We have lunch together most days. Move on.

- Constitution -- You clearly have not read the constitutions of Syria, Saudi Arabia, or many other countries. Ethnic groups are all over the identities of most of the world's countries.

- Automatic citizenship - How narrow do you define this? African Americans can go to Liberia and other countries of Africa. Until just twenty years ago or so anyone with a German grandparent could automatically get German citizenship. If you are Cuban you can get American citizenship. Are you thinking this through?

- NPT, I am not sure anyone cares, but this is very different than your other topics.

Switch "Israel" with "Iran" and you have basically the same thing, but seemingly waging war against Israel would never be an option, would it? Because we accept the country's own sovereignty, as we should do with all countries.

Nothing. An acquaintance of mine develops a third-party frontend explicitly marketed as a privacy-friendly alternative and actively looks at lots of user data (which includes the full name) without disclosing. I honestly believe that it's only done for improving the service (and it helps tremendously) but I can't get through with arguing that this should be transparent.

> I don't have the tools or knowledge required to sand this down to a perfect mirror finish

I did a resin cast that had a similar "lip" at the edge (I turned a LGA CPU socket into a coaster), and I was able to sand it down fairly easily using regular sandpaper of progressively higher grit, producing a more or less perfect cuboid. The flatness was achieved by taping the sandpaper to a flat surface, and moving the part.

It's been a while, I can't remember if I used some kind of polishing compound at the end or whether the sandpaper alone was enough for a good finish.

> You are missing Reasoning's point

Note that the comment here is from HK-NC:

>>> I'm not sure who decided that Hitler stole the swastika from the Hindus, but it's false. The symbol appeared in the decorations of his childhood church IIRC and wasn't an alien symbol to germans elsewhere.

You're saying I shouldn't be reading this as a claim that the Nazi swastika was an indigenous development, unrelated to the Indian symbol despite the fact that it symbolized an official ideology naming the Indians as a sister tribe to the Germans and adopting the tribal name of the Indians for the Germans, and the fact that it was referred to by its Sanskrit name?

> Hitler didn't personally invent Nazi master-race ideology and look to India

Why is this relevant? He is the one who adopted the ideology on behalf of the German state.

You’d think the right thing to do would be to pick the option wildlife is most likely to use, and that there was research and decision-making that went into that above and beyond “tons of concrete”.

Do you think that didn’t happen, that you’re significantly smarter about wildlife bridges than the folks who planned this one (who were, apparently, too dumb to ask a question you thought of sixty seconds after reading about the amount of concrete used), or just deeply into throwing shade, deserved or not, at CA at every half-imagined opportunity?

I’ve thought like this, or versions of it, before in my life. Eventually figured out it was just globalized philosophized depression. I’ve come to call it “low serotonin philosophy.” (Yes, the serotonin hypothesis for depression is a huge oversimplification, but it’s a catchy name.)

Looking at the mission website,[0] there are still a lot of people involved with the mission, spread across science, engineering, operations and management.

You would be surprised how much science can be done with an old mission like this, both with the data they already have on hand and with new data. It looks like they have several dozen scientists working on the project (not all necessarily full time).

In any case, putting this into perspective, I don't see how it could be a waste to spend $14.7 million / year to keep one of the most distant probes humanity has sent out into space working.

According to the pentagon briefing this morning they dropped 14. News is reporting that it was in 3 specific locations and they were dropped successively. Assuming most detonated successfully, that much specialized ordinance did some damage. This bomb was specifically designed for this very purpose and you have to realize that capabilities that are reported are probably pretty conservative vs what the bomb is actually capable of doing.

I know a bunch of armchair generals on here are speculating that this was ineffective, but time will tell.

Older books seem perfectly content not to try to hook you within the first few pages. Keep at it. I read Crime and Punishment recently and it is quite slow to start, but was rewarded by the depth of characterization that is present.

Also if you want to read classic books I highly recommend getting the most accessible translation/version you can find. The material is often dense enough without the style of writing making things harder. But this sometimes means paying for one vs finding it on Gutenberg.

Jerusalem is disputed territory. That makes it an uncomfortable mess, for more or less everyone.

The region needs more efforts toward peace, and less black and white, good/bad labeling.

East Jerusalemites are in limbo waiting for peace.

The IAEA said they weren't cooperating as of this month. Before that they were cooperating despite the fact that the US had withdrawn from the nuclear deal.

I wonder if anything started happening recently that would make Iran less interested in cooperating with the IAEA?

In fact, I think all evidence points to them removing assets from inspected sites knowing that those sites would soon be targets.

> Just explain why you have 60% enriched uranium.

For leverage, obviously.

If Israel were Iran's only rival then it would obviously do everything in its power to become nuclear capable because Israel violated international law to become nuclear capable. However, Iran has many rivals and does not want to set off a nuclear arms race in the middle east.

They also hoped to use the nuclear program as a bargaining chip to lift sanctions.

So Iran had reason to set themselves up to be able to get nuclear weapons, without actually getting nuclear weapons.

Now, that whole policy looks foolish and Iran's only real rational option is to acquire nuclear weapons as quickly as possible.
