Also, more importantly: same reasons as why Pakistan and India was split.

Arabs were moved out from what is now (and much earlier) Israel. Jews were moved out from neighboring Arab countries.

Also, maybe even more importantly: Much of the world felt guilty after what happened to the Jews during the Nazi regime.
> A laughable question from someone peddling baseless conspiracy theories. Common sense and simple observation of the world around me.

and a laughable response from you. I presented my evidence. You failed to do so and decide to fall back on "common sense and simple observation".

>Those polls (we seem to be straying dangerously close to "the blacks and the jews" level of hateful conspiracy theory, by the way) are not evidence for the cause of the creation of this legislation, nor even attempt any semblance of cause and effect.

Your best response to the survey data is dismiss it saying it's tantamount to racism?

>It might also help you get some perspective to keep in mind that those in actual positions of power (that's not Bob the unemployed coal miner from West Virginia who didn't finish highschool and goes to church once a week), spend considerable resources curating and influencing public opinion to their end.

We literally still have "in god we trust" on our bills, added back in the 50s, despite being a secular country. Several states pushed creationism to be taught in schools as an alternative to creationism. I think you're underestimating how much impact evangelicals have.

>Consider, for example how many people were deluded into believing the baseless conspiracy theory that there existed ample evidence which proved Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election.

"hacked"? maybe not. Interfered? definitely.

>The FBI's work was taken over in May 2017 by former FBI director Robert Mueller, who led a Special Counsel investigation until March 2019.[3] Mueller concluded that Russian interference was "sweeping and systematic" and "violated U.S. criminal law", and he indicted twenty-six Russian citizens and three Russian organizations. [...] The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee submitted the first in their five-volume 1,313-page report in July 2019 in which they concluded that the January 2017 intelligence community assessment alleging Russian interference was "coherent and well-constructed". The first volume also concluded that the assessment was "proper", learning from analysts that there was "no politically motivated pressure to reach specific conclusions".
We need the old vocabulary back.

Much smaller companies used to get split up, but with globalization our understanding of what a large company or what a monopoly is changed.

When it comes to these things countries nowadays are more hands-off than they ever were. Further, advocates of these 'hands-off' approaches like to pretend we'd be returning to some ideal of old that brought prosperity and countries 'meddling' in the 'free market' is some modern fallacy, which is just revisionist history.

Edit: While the above is more personal observation than based on any hard data, there appears to be research supporting my position. This is looking like a good overview: https://som.yale.edu/faculty-research-centers/centers-initia...
You might realize this, but just for clarity, Bluetooth LE has similar range to Classic Bluetooth, with the exception of 125kbps LE long range coded PHY, introduced with BT5.0. You can potentially reach from 1km away outdoors.

The Nordic Semiconductor NRF52832 used in the airtag, unlike NRF52840, does not support this.

Apple seems to have removed support for long range coded PHY from iOS as well, so other vendors can't make use of coded PHY either. It was present in iOS 13, seems to be absent from iOS 14.

Interesting article. Several significant, long-term studies are brought up. Calif. spends much more per homeless person that most other countries, but has dramatically worse results. Homelessness has risen 30% in calif, while other states have reduced their homeless populations. Interesting, striking differences.

>So privacy legislation would protect me more universally.

Fundamentally, this is where our opinions diverge. You are simply more accustomed than I am to the idea of rule of law working as intended.

If we're looking to make an objective judgement, we should not state what we like, what we want, what we're accustomed to, etc., but we should simplify alternatives so we can compare things that are commensurate.

Let's assume elected officials bring into being the perfect privacy legislation (which contains 0% failure of democratic process due to corruption, misunderstanding of the subject matter, etc.)

That legislation would nonetheless protect you only as far as it is enforced. I would argue that the only way to enforce it at sufficient scale is to integrate the capability to reason about the correctness of transactions into the transaction medium itself.

Once transactions enforce their own validity (e.g. with regards to the desired level of privacy), if a central legislation is still necessary it can be implemented on top of the selfsame transaction medium.

It's either that, or paper over the complexity of the digital world with blanket bans and the like

Generally, armed groups with serious missile capabilities are able to source their own intelligence for strikes. The fact that we've ascertained, somehow, that Hamas et al. use Google Maps to inform their targeting calls into serious question claims against the assymetry of capability on which the legitimacy of tit-for-tat missile/air strikes rely.

I think it keeps getting repeated because it is more palatable than saying the cause is a combination of

1. Latent racism. Having minority groups set up a homeland and encouraging all of them to move there is a core tenant of some racist groups.

2. Natural support by US Jews, and the many many people who know them and believe having Israel be a country is good for the safety of the ethnic group.

3. Israel is a natural ally of the US, and cannot become a local leader no matter how much support is given to it. This makes for a fairly stable partnership. US gets to aid a power hostile to its enemies like Iran, etc. while making a pretense to neutrality since it’s not directly acting.

4. Progressive social groups like Israel. It’s the most westernized style nation in the Middle East, but it retains enough cultural heritage to be palatable to conservatives too.

5. The more mundane biblical stuff. Even lip service only Christians have heard of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, etc. being a part of Israel in historical times. Thus there is a tendency to support Israeli control of the area since from the US point of view, which never takes into account fine ethic differences, Jews are Jews thus even European Jews have a historic right to the land.

6. Supporting Israel, a country hated by the oil powers of the Middle East, makes US nationalists happy since it acts as proof that oil-powers do not hold America’s leash.

There isn’t really any one singular reason for support to Israel. It’s more of a perfect storm making it easy for activists of any stripe to thumbs up supporting Israel as a budget item. Remember support for Israel is a feel good measure. American lives aren’t at risk.

However, people would rather claim someone strongly supports Israel, even if he reasoning is irrational, than say many millions vaguely support Israel so long as it is limited to “safe” things like money, political speech and weapons sales.
Isn't the "reply all" problem a user issue? If people used BCC instead of a bunch of To's, we'd never hear about it. Heck, I would think email clients would prompt if you tried to sent more than a dozen people without BCC.

I agree with everything else and think "managing group messages" has other issues. For example, it's nice that I can duck out of an iMessage group, but can't duck out of a text message group or email chain.
If you don't consider those citations evidence of Israel possessing nukes, I don't know what would convince you and I wonder if you're equally skeptical of other nations nuclear capability
Both frameworks can coexist in the same codebase if you use the WSGIMiddleware module [0]. It's a bit easier to get it running with Flask than with Django.

iOS topics for new-to-SwiftUI developers
A friend of mine who has done mostly professional web development is starting his journey in iOS development with SwiftUI.
He's done great work of finding answers to specific questions he's had on the process but I wanted to give him a list of "good things to be generally aware of so that you know the keywords to start googling when you hit these sorts of problems."
A lot of the "iOS development topics" lists I've seen were more around getting started with development in general, so focused more on things like good architectural patterns, or source control, etc. I wanted to give him a more focused list for iOS specifically, so I wrote one up -- sharing it here in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation and finds it useful.
OK I’ll bite. What are the answers, oh thou, who has slept on the street?

Argue against the poster’s substantive points then. Do not make an ad-hominem attack.
I don’t think you can “talk to” or warn companies like Facebook. You just shut them down bring them to their knees. You’ve to do to them what Apple App Store is doing to them.

I think all these warnings and then those rare pocket change fines are nothing but slaps on the wrists that Facebooks of the world might be allocating in their annual expenses predictably.

But convenience comes in the way and Facebook knows it.

As for India, Facebook will be fine as long as it shares data with the Govt. Hell, it might even become official communication app in India endorsed by no less than the glorious PM while hugging tightly his “dear friend Mark” on stage.

If that's all there is to it, then why do people use other solutions?

> Also, wouldn't encryption fix this problem?

Kind of. The problem is the protocol and lack of consensus prevents this from being feasibly implemented. Personally, I think encryption in transit is a low probability threat for me. I would also like certain data to "expire" or go into "cold storage" after a period of time. Sending it in a side-channel, like Dropbox or Google Drive means I can delete it or revoke access after a period of time but this breaks email.
I’m guessing the actual government had an issue with the prices of everything it wanted to buy also rising due to no market not trusting it with credit.

If the market stopped dumping the currency and started bidding up the bonds. Then the temporary disruption in high interest rates was enough for the government to get ahead on payments.

Just a guess. Would like more source on what happened.
Are you going on the title? If so, the verb "beat" here admits both a singular past action and a present continuous action.
I started with that post as well, and had a similar reaction.

Also I find it misses most of the real points against email and focuses on the relatively minor ones.

- email enforces much higher latency communication, which maybe good sometimes, but most of the time is not helpful

- much more difficult to actually keep track of a threaded conversation with multiple concurrent subtrees, it's a stack when instead you want a tree like Zulip / Slack threads. quote replying a subthread in an email tree without disrupting convos in the rest is a painful experience even in the nicest clients.

- file attachment and embed preview experience is worse than most modern IM apps

- no emoji reactions, these are huge for efficient async communication without spamming everyone with notifications
If you're in the Bay Area, El Camino Real is literally 'The Royal Road', i.e. the King's Highway (Spanish went through a similar process as Portuguese).

Also, English 'regal' and 'royal' are both cognate to Spanish/Portuguese 'real', borrowed once from Latin and again from French.

We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Thats funny, because I hate facebook message threads because it is effectively impossible to have a conversation there because everything overlaps and I can't take the time to write something clear and in multiple paragraphs.

Honestly at this point I wonder if the right solution is a private usenet server: just like email it is not instant but async, unlike email it is spilt into topics better and you can have new people catch up on threads easily.
Well I figured since you feel strongly about using a type wider than 8-bits for RGB you must have a really good display that actually lets you perceive the colors that enables you to encode. Most PC displays are garbage including the expensive ones because first, sRGB only specifies a very small portion of light that's perceivable and secondly, any display maker who builds something better is going to run into complaints about how terrible netflix looks, because it reveals things like banding (which you mentioned) that otherwise wouldn't be perceivable. So I was hoping you could recommend me a better monitor, so I can get into >8 bit RGB, because I've found it exceedingly difficult to shop around for this kind of thing.
It's probably easy for someone who knows what to look for, but I wouldn't even know where to start googling.

The question was about "SARS-CoV-1". I went to Google and typed SARS-CoV-1. Since I wanted to know about immunity I typed the letters "imm" and the first suggestion was "SARS-CoV-1 immunity duration". I clicked these and was immediately shown link to studies showing the very long duration.

This is trivially discoverable. Claiming that finding this information was not trivial appear dinhonest to me.

Yes, often when you seal your house to keep PM2.5 low, your CO2 values go up.

Does grinding oneself into dust at a thankless job for a faceless corporation in the name of perpetual economic "growth" at the cost of the entirety of survivable nature as we know it have any meaning whatsoever? Because that's the flipside of what you're saying.

It may not be possible for us to go back to a time before modern technology, medicine, etc (or maybe its more likely than we think), but is it any wonder that so many peoples' brains yearn for something like that? The definition of life may be struggle, as you say, but struggle without self-determination may be the very thing that kills whatever "human" is.

We saw this phenomenon in Argentina. It's called "inflationary inertia". Basically, the government prints money creating inflation in the first place, so prices go up. But when you stop printing money, like Argentina did in 2016 and even reduced the money supply by 5%, inflation still goes up because everybody expects it to go up so they get ahead of it to avoid losing money, starting with the businessmen. Once the businessmen rise prices, everybody else in the economy does the same, and workers demand a pay raise to match inflation, etc. creating a vicious cycle so you have inflation regardless of the money you print or don't print.

This technique seems to have stopped that cycle by changing the expectations of the people.
Yeah, that worked great for my home country.

You presented no evidence. Quoting some poll is not evidence for your deranged conspiracy theories.

> We literally still have "in god we trust" on our bills,

You seem hatefully fixated on things which really don't matter all that much.

Why do you have to construct these vast strange conspiracy theories about the religious beliefs of some segment of the population? So you can have an excuse to hate them?

Supporting Israel (note: that does not equate to the spontaneous creation of any laws) honestly doesn't seem like the world's biggest problem. America recently sponsored wars, genocides, toppling of governments in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan which seems a bit more problematic. Or do you blame the blacks and the Jews for those as well?

> "hacked"? maybe not. Interfered? definitely.

Wrong. There was no evidence ever produced indicating that Trump colluded with Putin to hack or interfere with the election, and the Mueller report quite explicitly stated that none was found. Another baseless conspiracy theory you have been deluded into believing.

I think it's kinda obvious: there are more homeless because this spending makes it easier to be a homeless. Fighting homelessness is easy: make it strictly illegal, a felony punished (for repeat offenders) with a real prison term. It will deter many delinquents from trying, they will try to stick with some sort of employment and housing.
I think up is thinking health concerns are related to the global pandemic and why the company went remote.

For the interested: according to a quick search, the head of an elephant weighs 400 kg (881 lbs), and among African elephants adult males weigh between 1800 (3968 lbs) and 6300 kg (13 889 lbs). They are heavy!
This article makes the same tired argument that homeless people are all junkies and crazies which gets used to blame the people on the street.

It does so in spite of opening with this:

California saw its homeless population rise by 31 percent even as the number of homeless declined 18 percent in the rest of the United States between 2010 and 2020.

We know that homeless people travel, that some organizations have a policy of solving their local homeless problem by passing out bus tickets and that some states have actively sought to dump their homeless on California.

California has a lot of problems, like terrible housing policies, that contribute to the problem. But I believe California has become the dumping ground for America's homeless and it's problematic to act like California's numbers have gone up because California is behaving badly rather than acknowledge that California's numbers have gone up precisely because homelessness is down elsewhere: California is where some of those people ended up.

And California has unsheltered homeless because the temperate, dry weather in large parts of the state make it tolerable to sleep outside most of the time and it's a better option than the shelter system for a long list of reasons, from the concentration of poverty to exposure to disease to the prison-like conditions.

I think this article is garbage. It contradicts everything I understand about the topic.

I spent nearly six years homeless. I've had a college class on the topic. I still write about it.

I think I'm more informed than average about such things.
Gee, imagine if there was a state with nice weather and a policy not to arrest the homeless - what a magnet that would be!

Even better, LA and now SF are constructing waterfront apartment buildings for homeless people. Best views in town.
I feel like this is a joke, but can't tell and therefore seek further explanation.
