I agree that the seacoast and airspace represents a problem, and so is the reliance of Gaza on water and power infrastructure within Israel, which is a difficult humanitarian problem when mutual hostilities exist. I'm pleased to see that you've narrowed your statements to that issue, as it's a huge step in a discussion about the logistics of a solution.

I don't see the text you've cited from your first source when I follow the link about the prerogative of general military operations. There is similar wording in B 3.1 et ff., but limited to defense, and context is needed: Israel is formally at war with Hamas, which (after suspending every election in Gaza after they were put in power) is the de facto regional authority. This is not a claim of a peacetime "right" any more than our in

The second link is not a source, and the most recent attacks at the top of the search are claimed to be a self-defense response.

The link in the third source is nowhere to be found, but it likely rests on UN Resolution 242, of which Hamas (and the PNA insofar as Abbas represents it) has not honored by rejection of affirmation 1(ii): "Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force" http://www.un.org/Depts/dpi/palestine/ch3.pdf

Depends on your circles. Tumblr, like Twitter, is really defined by who you follow. If you follow 'professional', curated blogs where the author is promoting their own content, they will care about SEO and discoverability and they will tag their own posts with topical hashtags.

But most personal blogs don't care about that, they tag their posts with custom, made-up categories or use the tag field as additional meta-commentary. There's a much-reblogged Tumblr post chain [1] that talks about this; ironically the only way I was able to find the post again is because one of the commenters tagged it with topical tags.

So Tumblr is an amalgam of discoverable posts, long chains, and many posts that are completely untagged. If the blog's author has disabled the built-in integration Tumblr has with making search engines aware of posts, a lot of this content can only be found by going directly to the source through a friend-of-a-friend.

It's been a while since I studied the topic, so there may be some holes, but my recollection is that this is not quite true.

In the 1800s, laws were passed that produced immigration quotas, where each country was assigned a number of immigrants permitted as a percentage of national origins of current Americans as indicated by the census. This law permitted plenty of immigrants from "favorable" countries like England and France, but few from countries like Italy, Ireland, or China. At the same time, the US saw very few people attempting to immigrate from England and France but large amounts coming from Italy, Ireland, and China.

For those immigrants who got in, the attitude towards them is well documented...

Sea travel in general was apocalyptically bad for sailors until about 1910. I don't think people realize how dangerously shitty it was for people.
The other irony is that when college is paid for by taxes of the entire society, both those who went to college and those who didn't, the ones who didn't go to college end up paying for those who did. Net, it's literally a transfer from the non-college educated people to the college-educated people. Absolutely insane.
I believe the barreled design to be fatally flawed. An earthquake or other disruption during launch could be catastrophic to the vehicle. Much better for the vehicle to ride next to the track; in failure scenarios, the vehicle can simply detach and glide back to earth.

Yes, it means you have to go through the atmosphere, but it doesn't take far to clear. That will effect the calculations some, but not much. What will really effect the calculations though, is the cost of electricity. Generation costs will surely drop below $0.04.

Further, transmission loss can be almost entirely mitigated by generating and supplying the required power on-track.

Launches in favorable conditions (moon and/or planet alignments) would probably make some launches even cheaper. Of course, if the launcher were operating continuously, the savings would be used up during unfavorable conditions.

Well, I don't look at it that way.

To put it in object-oriented terms: I am my mind and my body. Think of inheritance here: I am my mind, and I am my body. Because my mind is conscious, it's fine to say that I am conscious.

But the universe is more like a container (a set, say). It isn't its contents, it merely has them. So while I am part of the universe, and I am conscious, that doesn't mean that the universe is conscious. Instead, it contains consciousness.

> Brahman is also conscious, because universe is conscious, and the universe is a part of Brahman.

Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.

And: I'm not Hindu either, but I'm not sure, within Hinduism, whether Brahman is conscious.

It is an indisputable, historical fact that when you prioritize safety over human rights you will end up with an order of magnitude greater loss of life.

The only possible way to value and protect human life is to value and protect human rights, and that includes free speech. The minute you subsume those for safety (or as you put it, "human life", but we've also heard "for the kids", "terrorism", "immigrants", "communists", "monarchists", etc. etc.) you have not only given up your rights, but your life to the powers that be. And those powers do not have your best interests in mind.

These things are not separate, please do not turn this into a false dichotomy. We must protect both human rights and human life, but only by the acquiescence of our rights may they take our lives.
I think you are mischaracterizing my statement. At no point did I suggest he should violate journalistic integrity by belying his sources' confidence.

I do say that it's inappropriate to expect implicit trust after all his previous integrity failures (conjecture as fact, etc). I want to believe this article. I do believe it. But I also can't rely on it, as his track record shows that given the topic of computer security, he will even present unfounded speculation to Congress as fact if given the opportunity.
I agree with you, and add that to a russian, the leader is yandex, not google. Now, I'm not saying that it's all relative, google is objectively be a better company in most respects. But in terms of the mindshare that you talk about, yandex beats google in russia.

What does the Second Amendment have to do with privacy. Your right to own a gun isn't being infringed in any way. We the people would simply like to know who owns the guns. If the police every really decide to come take away everyone's guns, they are going to search every home, armed to the teeth, anyways just to be sure they get them all. Being a registered gun owner does not endanger you in any significant way.
I'm not sure why they don't do that in New Zealand, the numbers are all provided, you just have to type them in.

Perhaps it's a privacy thing?

One of the advantages is that you can check if you're owing money before filing a Personal Tax Summary (they have a tool to check if you'd owe money or be paid money), and you don't have to file for one if you owe money, and as long as it's less than a certain amount ($500?) then they don't care.

My pets are literally treated as family members. I treated my dogs like they were my brothers, or sisters.

I am one of those people who think animals should have rights. I know it's crazy, but it just how I feel.

I had a girlfriend move out because she didn't like my Bull Mastiff's period. She told me to get rid of the dog, or I'm leaving. I literally packed her bags. She had her own apartment, so she wasen't homeless. You would not believe the words she yelled at me. "You love that dog more than me--you a-hole!" Me, "Maybe?"

I didn't think it was an American thing. I guess I just didn't think about it.

(I will say this; I sometimes think family bonds are tighter in other countries. I don't know? I've seen some nasty immoral acts--akways over money in the United States. I loved animals way before I realized how immoral certain family members were though.)
ummm, Doctor - med school + residency and you are almost 30 + 5 years gets you to close to mid 30's of age

Finance - MS followed by work followed by MBA takes you to 30 years + 5 years again close to mid 30's

So no, im not talking 25 year olds.
To be more precise, what I meant is that both should only be subsidize to whatever degree they create external benefits. I.e., if a physics degree has $5k external benefit and a women's studies degree $5, then the physics degree deserves 1000x more subsidies.

And once you factor in the harms caused by signalling, it's far from clear it's even a net positive.

The benefits of an educated populace are manifest and, I believe, clearly worth the expense of public financial support.

The external benefits are far from clear.

If a person is educated and becomes a doctor, and then fixes my spine in return for money, the benefit is clear. But that benefit is fully captured by myself and the doctor, and he factored the cost of education into the price he charged me.

Can you name what the external benefit (i.e. benefits captured by third parties) is, for both medical education, physics education and women's studies?

Why is shelling out six figures to go to college even a thing? Any of the knowledge obtainable through a college course is available free on the internet. Is it having the accountability of grades and adult supervision? 60k/yr/student seems like a lot of mark up for repackaging knowledge which is free in a format consumable by the average high school grad. This this is a market waiting to get disrupted.

What are the politics of Karl Marx?

Plato's views on government, and condemnation of democracy are quite clearly laid out in the Republic.

Kant writings have plenty to say about freedom vis-a-vis government, state power, rights of property, revolutions, warfare.

None of these great minds existed in an apolitical, unbiased vacuum, where they could devote themselves to nothing but free thought.

When it comes to education, my impression is that people use the term 'apolitical' to describe political opinions that happen to align with their own. Hence, Hobbes and Locke are apolitical - whereas feminist philosophy so frequently is. Adam Smith? Apolitical. Karl Marx? Political.

You can become a programmer without anything at all. I went to Uni for Music and Math... what matters is you want to be a programmer. Pick up a few programming languages relevant to a project you can write as a demo of currently relevant technologies. Do a couple of paid or unpaid internships to figure out what business really requires because lord knows they don't teach much of that at college or university. Get references from your tutors and relevant people (example: Team Lead, Managers and Directors) at your internships and start applying for programming jobs. Congratulations, you are now a programmer. Despite what people will tell you, you don't need a degree certificate to get a job. What you can demonstrate you've done and who will vouch for you goes a lot further than a bit of paper. Learn everything you can from your course, the education will surely be useful at some point but don't get hung up on what the degree is or where the bit of paper is from. The most relevant thing you have by taking the course is open access to material, tutors and staff that you can pepper with questions to your hearts content.

I wish people cared.

After many years in this industry I've personally come to the conclusion that nobody actually cares about security, privacy, or data ownership. People say they do but they are lying, as evidenced by the fact that they do not change their behavior. People gripe about security and privacy but continue to use "free" surveillanceware/spyware and continue to migrate everything to cloud hosts they don't control.

The only thing people care about in reality is convenience and user experience, and they're obviously willing to give up an almost unlimited amount of personal privacy and control to get those things.
Your response doesn't make any sense. Throw a hissy fit all you want about your pot, but you KNOW it's illegal and if you choose to ignore that that's on you.

Same as with loans. You choose to take out the loan, that's on you.

If I choose to run my car into a crowd I suffer the consequences, not Chrysler. (And yes, I realize this analogy isn't perfect)

And comparing this to slavery is plain stupid. That is an issue much greater than this regarding equality for everyone. You didn't have a choice to be born a slave.

And here I don't even necessarily agree with not helping these people - I just want the issue addressed of where we draw the line between poor decision making and poor choices.
> Compared to Europe the education system in the US looks like a system that is trying to get as much money out of young adults as possible rather than getting as many people as possible an affordable education.

I understand your pain, but I do believe this can be still solved with a technology, they just have to care. For instance fair use is very hard to identify accurately but it's not impossible. There is less than 0.01% cases when it can't be decide automatically (still a huge number though) and those should be reviewed by people.

Leaving aside whether degrees add value or not, the perception is that they do and it absolves hiring managers some responsibility.

If you work for a big company and you have an ivy league grad and a guy from a conference you met who seems promising do you:

a) hire the ivy guy and if he is crap mumble about youth today
b) hire the random guy who screws up and everyone blames you ?

Both get hired at low wages as starters, you might save a bit on the random person but not that much. Plus if he is good he'll want a rise.

Large corporations are about sitting nice and still and not messing up.

I'm not sure it's the market, it's the consumers of the product in our world where managing perception in large companies which often have monopolies is more important that cranking stuff out. Not always, but often.

Your problem is not the high taxes themselves, but the way they are used. If young people are taxed in order to provide pensions for old people that are higher than the salaries of working young people, then there's something wrong, and I can totally understand the resentment.

I think the main reason why people object to taxes, is when those taxes are wasted on stupid things. But if taxes are efficiently used to provide a better society, then I think most people would support even fairly high taxes. Like in Denmark. Or in many European countries and the US just after WW2. Taxes were insane back then, but they were used to build up the country.
