No you cant. Egypt coordinates with Israel. Gaza is the world's largest open air prison. Also, you cant get a visa stamp for entry from the mythical embassy of gaza in the United states. Heck, you cant even leave Gaza. Forget about entering.

Millions of people travel to Israel every year; some of them go farther into the West Bank, but there’s a place over there which almost nobody has visited before – the Gaza Strip.

Gaza, like the West Bank, is surrounded by a large military wall with access only possible via two entrances, one from Israel (Erez crossing) and the other from Egypt (Rafah crossing). It is important to note that due to the siege on Gaza imposed by Israel and in cooperation with the current regime in Egypt, getting into Gaza is, physically and bureaucratically, very difficult.

Gaza is not open to individuals wishing to travel or explore the region per say, but to those with a connection to international organisations or journalists, for example. In order to gain access to Gaza, you must have a legitimate reason to enter before you can apply for either an Israeli or Egyptian travel permit. Most travel via Egypt using the Rafah crossing.
I'm not super deep into the world to NLP, but from what I have kept up with, it seems that the state-of-the-art is almost constantly open-sourced. I understand certain companies have personal relationships already built which may be what MS is after more so than the IP, but isn't there a "canonical" way of building a, for example, speech to text system for your phone?

Is there really a lot of NLP IP hidden behind corporate walls at this point? I just assumed Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, etc were all using the same model architectures. Genuine question, can anyone shed some light?
Owning a Tesla out of warranty is a pain in the ass, and expensive (my last maintenance cost 1400 euro’s, about double what I ever paid for my Audi’s, because there was just so much crap they needed to fix. Most of which they did not actually fix). A lot of things go wrong on Teslas. A nice example is the yellowing screens in the S/X and how Tesla is handling that these days.

People always think their cars will ‘keep getting better over time’ due to the software updates, but ask any MCU1 owner how well that’s going. Basically: once your hardware is no longer the latest generation they put in new cars, you quickly start missing out on new features. And that’s after the software has slowed down over time on your old hardware because they probably only test in the latest cars.

As for the quality control: there were plenty of videos from bumpers falling off of Model 3’s after driving through puddles. Or rain leaking through the windshield of Model Y’s. Even die-hard Tesla youtubers still mention the panel gaps whenever they get a new Tesla. Btw: ever noticed that they rarely keep those Teslas for more than 2 or 3 years?

S and X had a lot of build problems, but the problems you’re seeing on 3’s and Y’s are much more severe IMO. Especially from a company that once claimed they were gonna teach Toyota a thing or two about auto manufacturing.
"faster" in which respect?

> the Dutch figured out how to live with cities below sea level 300 years ago, we'll manage

They also paid for this infrastructure over the course of 300 years on a national level. How this will work for a single city in a huge state in a short amount of time is unclear to me, besides the fact that Amsterdam was built at the end of a bay, which the Netherlands then closed off using floodgates. Miami is facing open water. Lots of open water.
> Also the free bit is a little fuzzy as the costs are baked into the hardware.

For well over a decade that didn't make OS X free. I 'member when upgrading OS X meant forking $129.
Exactly. Apple Music, Apple Maps, Apple iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple iPad, Apple iCloud, Apple Facetime, Apple TV, etc.

I'm pretty sure I see adverts for all these things on my "advert-free" Macbook.
> Pretty sure I would have used a list, but making the Java interface ordered surely doesn’t change the semantics of the underlying relation?!

Yeah, it seems a little bonkers on first glance and I haven't ever dug in to see if there was a justifiable reason or not.

IIRC, if you just need ordering, you could just use an SortedSet. I think technically lists are for when you need ordering and duplicates.

People overestimate the contribution of all the fancy data science libraries and schemes compared to the effort of getting clean data into place where it can be picked apart.

Whether it is worth learning both Perl and Python for the same project is questionable, but as for assembling and cleaning up data, I haven't come across anything as good.
I don't know where you get the impression that I'm criticizing the NHS or a nationalized Healthcare service. I'm all for a nationalized healthcare service. My issue is with people who pay nil significant taxes in Europe gloating ignorantly about how European Healthcare is free, and won't stop shitting on American Healthcare. Yeah, your healthcare is cheaper than the US but it isn't free. There is a whole bunch of middle class folks and upper class folks paying for it.
like they did with Azure? xD
Here's whats so odd here:

- google can push chrome on people in their search results. and google pushed HARD. So hard they dominate the browser market and chrome is unfortunately not known for privacy.

- google pretty much makes it impossible to get away from chrome entirely in android. Example being that you MUST use chrome webview when using the google search app. Even though everything else uses firefox for me.

- ms doesn't have search results. sure they try with bing but its not nearly as good or widespread. MS does have windows itself though, so they push where they can.

I'm not entirely unsympathetic to MS at the moment. And this is coming from the pitchforks and torches guy against IE6/7/8/9 back in the day.

if your pedantic enough to use "set -euo", you're going to add it to the script and not make a user set it first.
No we shouldn't. Hate to be the Hardline realist but in 20 years nCov19 and it's variants will look incredibly similar to influenza. Despite this idea being cancelled for good reason early on this is the reality we face.

Covid has fully become.political theater and the CDC has been publishing articles about not quarantining or locking down since mid 2020. Stop listening to politicians and start listening to epidemiologists and health professionals please.
That’s missing the point. And frankly victim blaming.

Allowing all the security info to be changed moments after logging on with no way to put them back is absurd.
If we're invoking theoretical possibilities, anyone can declare another piece of are to be the new version.

I don't think re-recording albums for the purpose of attacking former business partners, who priced the intellectual property at roughly all the money that she had been paid in their previous arrangement, indicates a willingness to keep re-recording things.
You could require the caller to keep an opaque handle, and have all the state encapsulated on that handle. The caller won't know if this state is messy or not, and I think this does a good job of encapsulating annoying complexity.

But it doesn't prevent the caller from passing the handle to another function, or copying the handle, which could mess things up, and I suppose `yield` helps with that.

But most of all, I'd say it makes it easier to write the callee code, not the caller code, since the callee does not need to "reify" the state of "current chunk" and "chunks remaining" into an object, nor (more crucially) the state of loops and other control flow.
I've struggled wrapping my ahead around whether this line of thinking has merit or not.

I'd argue that everything you listed can be reproduced, almost identically. But there's no value in doing so since it is not the original or was never authorized by the creator. Why does this change all of a sudden once we go digital? Is it because it's so much easier to reproduce something that originates digitally?
That seems to be a choice of the author, a new approach has been uploaded that uses the exact same logic as the python approach and is similarly as succinct.

Is this any different from the scenario in the 90s antitrust case? Or is it now somehow OK because both Microsoft and Apple are doing it?

This is great trick because the console will keep a reference to your object, not a copy, so if it changes between the time it was logged and now then the log expando shows the new value, not the old value.

By printing out the object you get a point-in-time snapshot rather than a reference to a mutable object.
Off the top of my head, Windows has advertised or directly installed Edge (are you suuuuure you don't want to default it?), OneDrive (in file explorer, no less), Office 365, Bing (in the system search bar), Xbox something or other, Candy Crush, Teams, Skype, and probably several others that I'm forgetting.

"Because of that altered bonding behavior – which can affect bodily chemistry if you ingest deuterium in D2O – scientists generally say it's not a great idea to drink heavy water, at least not in high doses."

But also note your body already has to be robust against it to some degree, because water will normally have a certain amount of heavy water in it naturally, so it's not like it's a deadly deadly toxin. It's just something you shouldn't drink a lot of.
The planet as a whole is also "we", and it doesn't have anywhere near enough.

The hardest part of running a 10 mile marathon for most people is the last mile.

Lots of amazing open source out there but the difference between 90% accuracy and 99.7% accuracy can be very difficult to obtain.

>If you say, "Give these guys all the power and they'll make the environment safe." then the result is going to be a safer environment until they get bored. Then they'll damage the environment because they have the power to do so and it's easier for the environment to be damaged.

I find this part to be an unlikely scenario. A much more plausible scenario is that the group that gets the power realizes that if they fix the problem, then they will lose their power. Therefore, they decide not to fully fix it. They will perpetually work towards improving it to maintain power.

Is there any reason now to use Cloudflare "full site caching" (cache everything via Page Rules) instead of this new Cloudflare Pages offering for static sites?

I know in the past, I at least would have my entire static site fully cached with Cloudflare using Page Rules.

What do I lose if I moved over to Cloudflare Pages? E.g. slower site performance, etc?

EDIT:

Follow-up question, what happens if I use Cloudflare Pages and then setup a Page Rule to "cache everything" from Pages?

As illustrated by several of the replies, people can do this, particularly using the ACME standard. In fact it's slightly surprising to me that many more web server applications don't do this yet, I had sort of expected that Microsoft for example would ship an IIS that just magically works, maybe supplied out of box with a coupon for one certificate per Windows Server license or something from a for-profit Certificate Authority, and maybe then you either change a registry value to use Let's Encrypt or you pay them $10 per cert for the out-of-box behaviour. Or that services that are intended to run as a web server, like Jenkins or Bugzilla would do all this for you.

But you won't be able to solve the general problem without some other element. The current iteration of the Ten Blessed Methods makes it very easy to have an HTTP or HTTPS server that arranges for its own certificates with ACME, because they assume that if you get to run web servers (on port 80 and/or 443) on some.name.example that's because you control some.name.example or you've got permission from whoever does control it to do whatever you want.

It's trickier for a mail server. You may genuinely run the MX for some.name.example but if you don't control DNS for that name, nor run the web servers, you can't pass ACME challenges. In the case of a mail server you could automate a hypothetical ACME challenge that relies on say 3.2.2.4.4 Constructed Email to Domain Contact but I don't think anybody actually offers that today.

It's completely impossible (today, on your own) for some other random TLS service. If you run the TLS-enabled IRC server on some.name.example you can't get certificates without help from the person who really controls the some.name.example FQDN. They need to either let you run an HTTP server, control their DNS records or just hand out working certificates to you somehow.

Sure, the benefit of base-256 is that a 0 maps to a byte with all 0's in the binary representation of the integer -- it's nothing specific to gzip. But on its face, 12345x256^8+71 = 1234500000071 is just wrong and only works once you realize that it's combining integers from different number systems.

RMS doesn’t have to throw in an obligatory attack on Epstein to defend Professor Minsky. It’s just not necessary. Don’t apologize to the mob or cave in to their demands. They will pounce on weakness. They’ll say this message doesn’t go far enough. They’ll say it is evidence you knew you were wrong. And at the end of it you’ll be left feeling like you were dishonest with yourself and spineless for giving in at all.

We’ve seen this play out over and over, most recently with Winston Marshall of the band Mumford and Sons, who initially praised the book “Unmasked” by Andy Ngo (exposing crimes of antifa groups), then was mobbed online by activists, then deleted his tweet, posted a spineless apology, and was kicked out of the band (https://thepostmillennial.com/canceled-mumford-and-sons-guit...).

I've been using Edge's pinned web apps feature for quite a while now. I love it. I've got pinned "apps" for a number of different PaaS portals, a number of different API documentation sites, a couple of internal apps at work, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Teamwork, Twitter, etc. It's about 50/50 web-apps vs native apps. It's pretty great.

> Racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 hospitalization were largest during May–July 2020; the peak monthly aPHR among Hispanic or Latino patients was >9.0 in the West and Midwest, >6.0 in the South, and >3.0 in the Northeast. The aPHRs declined for most racial and ethnic groups during July–November 2020 but increased for some racial and ethnic groups in some regions during December. Disparities in COVID-19 hospitalization by race/ethnicity varied by region and became less pronounced over the course of the pandemic, as COVID-19 hospitalizations increased among non-Hispanic White persons.
I really hope this will be sufficient to let this whole situation rest. The right thing to do is to accept his apology while holding him accountable for his commitment to be better in the future.
It looks like from the paper's methods [0] that they did "sip and spit," maybe similar to wine tasting? Plus rinsing with normal water in between tastes. I think that, plus D2O not being particularly poisonous in low quantities, would make that a safe enough experiment.

In the same paragraph they say "All research procedures were ethically approved by the Committee for the Use of Human Subjects in Research" at their university, so they probably had to provide a lot of evidence that it was safe beforehand.

Seems reasonable to me, though I am among the crowd who didn't read his initial statement as anything resembling a defense of Epstein.
He makes a lot of valid points about the unsustainability of the European system, but yeah couldn't help a chuckle at that line.
Dang, but this sounds distressing like the conspiracy theories my mom keeps telling me about -- the bug was manufactured, but not killing enough people, so expect variants to be introduced, with a goal of keeping people isolated and in fear and/or reducing the earth's population.

As horrific as it sounds, I'd at least consider asking, "what happens if we weight the trade-offs, and decide to mostly resume life as it was, knowing that our health care systems will be overwhelmed and a decent chunk of the population (10%?) would die." Aside from being scarred, would a place like that move on without endless restrictions, or, if a jurisdiction did that, they're still at risks from new variants around the world, aren't they?

On a different topic, I tend to be against forcing people to vaccinate. But I do wonder, how did things go down with seatbelt laws, in which people are forced to wear them? (Although I think there's only 90% compliance, even now). At what point should a state intervene to save lives? Conversely, at what point can a state decide to not intervene, even when it will cost lives?
[Not a Taylor Swift fan or hater]

There is a common sequence of events in creator-driven popular entertainment, where an author or musician becomes too big to edit (or produce, if you prefer). The later works have a tendency to be bigger, looser, and lacking the focus that characterized the earlier works.

Oft-cited examples: Steven King, Anne Rice, Tom Clancy, Alanis Morrissette, Tori Amos, Maroon Five, Aerosmith.

I don't know whether this has happened to Taylor Swift, but it's certainly a plausible explanation.
Most games work! Notably, if the game you're playing doesn't have an anti-cheat that's deeply tied to the kernel then there's a good chance it will work with Wine (or Steam Play's version of it) out of the box. The anti-cheats that are deeply tied to the Windows kernel are usually dumpster fires of remote code execution so I don't think there's much of a loss there.

What a great set of resources. Thank you for sharing this repo!
I feel like the author is missing a trick here, there's an epilogue to write. The power of brigading is terrifying and fierce and this is part of marking the transition into personal brigading where an individual uses the hammer of their fans to beat reality into their will. Its not entirely dissimilar to Trump's relationship with his followers to an extent.

Pans out just fine with Taylor Swift because I figure she might have a modicum of respect for her fans as opposed to someone like Jake Paul who treats his like dirt. The difference between the ages is that fans that were gatekept by organisations had many levels of PR, admin and marketing to wade through, today we have direct, raw and visceral which also can result in corrupt, unethical and even evil.

This is a pattern that could define the coming decades as society coalesces around a few chosen figures and lends them their might directly. Many of them will be found undeserving and the debris they leave might be impactful.
They intended to make referential work to characters in our modern common culture/mythology, as people have done since time immemorial. Some rent-seekers merely think they get to own ideas now.
