> Israel is an apartheid state

It’s easy to spot people who know less than nothing about the situation when this word shows up. Israel is literally not an apartheid state. “Palestine” is literally an apartheid state. This is a demonstration of supreme ignorance.
Yes, I wondered at first if it was for real. I mean who okays "Boom" as the name of an aircraft company?
I would get into a good trade. You're not going to get rich like Elon Musk, but if you have your own trade business you and your family will basically be set for life:

- A comfortable existence (trades pay enough to live on)

- Don't have to live in megacities if you don't want to (trades are needed in cities of all sizes and won't be subject to outsourcing)

- It's actually possible to reach mastery in a trade without the trade fundamentally shifting every 5 years (unlike the tech industry)

- Similarly, most trades have been around for 50-3000 years, so you don't need to worry about whether your job will exist in a few years

- If you teach your children the trade and/or bring them into the business, they won't need to get a bunch of student loans to get a career

- You get to move around and don't need to stare at glowing rectangles all day

- I've always wanted a nice cargo van.

"Rich" to me is more about lifestyle and peace-of-mind than it is about numbers in a bank account.

If what you really care about is just numbers in a bank account, the "easiest" way is to pick a tech niche (Salesforce, blockchain, SEO, eCommerce, etc.), relentlessly promote yourself all over the place, really ride that niche into the ground, and don't get sick of the problem domain after a few years.

i have a ring camera and: 1) I did not let their app use gps and i did not give them an adress (ie ring does not know, in theory where the camera is) 2) i straight up disabled requests from law enforcement (yes there is a setting for that) 3) i opted out of the neighbors thing (you cannot be in a neighborhood if you don’t have an address + explicitly opting out).

> far left employees, which don’t like insensitivity to the Jews,

The far left doesn't like insensivity to Jews? Which far left are you thinking of? In the US, the far left is the most reliable source of public anti-Semitism. (Note specifically that I said public. I'm not going to try and divine whether rightwing anti-Semitism is worse in private, which it very well may be.)

The most useful aspects of the financial industry are the most heavily regulated... by government.

Banks have rules on what they can use the money in your savings account for. They have government backed insurance.

Regular stocks are also heavily regulated. Financial reporting requirements, disclosures, auditing, etc.

Why does all this regulation exist? Because people we getting screwed over, and it was bad enough the government had to step in.

The mortgage industry was not heavily regulated enough, and what happened there? A large financial crash. And who got bailed out? The banks, many of whom were somewhat complicit and profiting off the situation.

Who didn't get bailed out? The little people.

This is still happening now. Most hedge funds, high frequency trading, the lure of day trading, and may other schemes exist to siphon off money from regular people.

Think for a minute about the hedge fund manager who gets tens of millions in bonuses. Where does that money come from? Ultimately the companies and other investors. That money could have gone into higher wages for the workers, but instead is being funneled to a few elites.

Since ancient times, the powerful have sought to retain and grow their own power. They use whatever means are available to them. It can be the use of force, but things have gotten more sophisticated.
Cops around here (a US city) routinely opt not to investigate property crime well into the five-figures, even when there's extensive video & other evidence. Like, they don't even give it a cursory attempt. I'm not sure adding more cameras will help.

Surveillance has other effects than helping to impede criminals (note also that this effect is dependent wholly on police initiative and competence, as well, two things often lacking in minor crime investigations).

Not everyone wants to be under surveillance 24/7, even if it does aid police sometimes in reducing crime, as it also aids police in doing the other things police do that are unrelated to law enforcement (harassment, theft, intimidation, extortion, et c).
Learning math isn't just about solving problems. It's about solving problems in ways that other people can follow, evaluate, and understand. Since nearly no one knows nonstandard analysis, but most people with college mathematics know standard calculus, there is much less utility in learning nonstandard analysis. It might make it easier for you to solve certain problems, but no one will understand what you did.

> I think it's more fair that every kid gets the same amount of money spent on them

Where does this money come from? The affluent communities don't mind the lion's share of their local taxes going to their community schools, but distribute it to everyone and they're not so interested in paying those taxes. They'd much rather reduce those taxes and invest the savings in their own children. So your problem isn't solved.

There are reasons these ideas have been volleyed about the past 20-30 years and we've made no progress. Add to that all the private charter school scandals we've endured and you have a big mess with no easy solutions in sight.
The things in your first paragraph are all useful, but not killer apps (IMO). Just nice conveniences.

My prediction is that Pokemon Go will prove to be by far the biggest splash to have been made in the phone AR space, and in the larger scheme of gaming it so far hasn't been more than a long-since-passed fad.

I'm pretty doubtful that even glasses-mounted AR will catch on among consumers in day-to-day life -- but there could be significant specific use cases e.g. education, certain professions, etc. On-the-job type stuff.

Great to see so much innovation in aerospace. Boom has said they're going to reduce noise, but they've also said they'll only fly supersonic over water with buffers between supersonic zones and populated areas. So the 'boom', as it were, is still a concern.

I'm super interested to see how quiet their planes are at subsonic. If you ever saw the Concorde flying subsonic, it was unbelievably loud. Nothing to do with being supersonic - their engines were just obnoxiously loud. Came into Cape Town a long time ago and made the whole town rumble on final.

In this blog post: https://blog.boomsupersonic.com/booms-principles-of-sustaina...

..Boom says: "Today’s subsonic commercial aircraft are 80% more fuel efficient than those of the 1960s, and noise footprints have shrunk up to 90% in the last 50 years. This technological progress has fueled Boom’s efforts to design a supersonic airliner that makes economic sense for airlines and their customers. "

However, the innovation that enabled this is high bypass turbofan engines. Turns out if you move more air slower, it's way quieter and more fuel efficient because physics. Boom can't take advantage of this - at least directly, because they have to go supersonic. A high bypass turbofan engine is huge, by it's very nature. At supersonic speeds this presents a lot of drag. That's why I'm super curious how they plan to be quiet and fuel efficient while also being supersonic.

Because they can compete. For doctors and lawyers, entry tickets are a few hundred thousand in loans and years of education. For fighter pilots, it's millions of dollars of training and flight time supported by a military. For social media influencers, it's just a computer and a webcam, which they probably already have for school/work.
On the other hand, it is interesting to think about the fact that, say, the Avogadro number is usually represented as a real number; the problem with the number of protons or other particles is that their number is unbounded: given enough energy, another particle can always jump into existence...
Why do you think these are the only tools at a governing body's disposal? It seems myopic to me that you think we have to agree to a unified tax to be the only sane choice.

Both essentially. You need more height to do more flips, which means you need more speed coming into the jump, which means you will fly farther horizontally. Some of this can be modulated by your takeoff, but only a small amount. Projectile motion/physics dominates.
> But as a matter of probability, a lot of people who criticize Israel are also antisemitic.

Agreed. In practice, antizionists (folks who believe that Israel shouldn't exist) virtually are virtually always antisemitic. Whatever you think of him, Bret Stephens makes a pretty insightful analogy that it's like how there could theoretically be segregationists that aren't racist, but they don't exist in practice.

That said, there's a distinction to be made between antizionism (i.e., "Israel shouldn't exist") and criticism of Israel (e.g., "Israel's settlement policy violates human rights"). The former is de facto (but not de jure) antisemitism while the latter is not.

EDIT: I'm getting a lot of downvotes for this, I'm guessing I've offended a lot of people who identify strongly with antizionism/antisemitism. My intention wasn't offense, but rather observation. That said, I make no apology for any offense taken--enjoy my Internet Points! (:

>Have you considered why you're so reluctant to do it?

It's funny, I had a conversation with a roommate that went something like I said I hated dishes, and that I'd rather be outside in the cold, under the car lifted on jackstands, draining the oil and replacing it and servicing the oil filter, coming back in and cleaning up. For both our cars. And my roommate seemed shocked. It seemed like such a bigger task to them than just quickly cleaning the dishes and throwing them in a rack to dry. But I just hate doing the dishes. And I don't mind changing the oil in the car.

Depends on what you mean by substantial changes, but Delphi changed its string type from ANSI to Unicode some time ago, similar to what Python did.

For the vast majority of users it was a very easy transition, due to the substantial work done by the Delphi team to make it so. For a lot of programs, a mere recompilation was required. We had a 300kLOC program + dependencies at that time, and one of us spent a 2-3 days on migrating, fixing small issues and testing.

> The Jewish people were the indigenous people of that territory. In what way do they not rightfully control and occupy Israel?

When? The region of Palestine was majority Muslim when Israel was founded. That your ancestors lived in a region doesn't give you any rights to it. If anyone has a birthright to a region, it's those who were born there and no one else.
> The Jewish people were the indigenous people of that territory. In what way do they not rightfully control and occupy Israel?

My maternal ancestry is of the Bering Strait islander and First peoples. Does that make me an indigenous person for the entirety of Americas and thus give me the right to control and occupy the entirety of America and expel all the "recent" migrants? Because that's the equivalent of claiming a blond haired blue eyed German Ashkenazi with a couple of generations in New York is somehow indigenous to the area of historic Judea and thus has the right to expel a different tribe of Semitic people who have only been there for say what, a thousand years?

I'm no expert but doesn't the Torah directly say that the Jews took Canaan from the Canaanites as directed by Yahweh? Wouldn't that make Canaanites the actual indigenous people of that territory? So would Canaanites thus be accorded the right to control and occupy that territory using your logic?

Nope. Parking requires badge access and there's no street parking near the campus. Even if some lunch truck set up shop in a nearby parking lot it would still be a 15-20 minute hike to reach it.
If you believe "Israel should not exist", you have to account for what would happen if it didn't. What would happen to the Jews who live in the Hamas-controlled "multicultural, multi-ethnic state" that would inevitably replace it? We all know the answer: they'd be killed. That's why people who call for the non-existence of Israel (anti-Zionists) are considered anti-semitic. If you support a position that leads inevitably to the death or displacement of millions of Jews, you are an anti-semite.

AMC tells investors to prepare to lose all their money if they buy the stock
Of course one can. Except for the fact that often people scapegoat their criticisms with a line like I'm not antisemtic, I'm just criticizing the government. Which typically comes just before an anti semetic comment is made.

It's also an entirely an uneven playing field. No other country is condemned and attacked by the international community as often, and as widely despite other countries' far worse offense.

Criticisms of Israel is unique and direct and no other country is held to the same standard.

How much of a joke is it that Saudi Arabia was on the human rights commission at the UN for so long. Or the lack of similar statements against China for their decimation of Uighurs.

This isn't a finger blaming game, its recognizing that the UN demonstrates a massive bias against a single country with standards that no other nation has to face
The internet isn't like that. You can be attacked from one individual living in a mountain in another hemisphere.
> The Jewish people were the indigenous people of that territory.

No. Even according to their/our [1] own mythology, the indigenous people were the Canaanites.

[1] I am ethnically Jewish. My parents were both born in Israel (except that it was still Palestine at the time). I grew up speaking Hebrew. But I do not self-identify as a Jew and I am highly critical of the conduct of the state of Israel. It has quite clearly become an apartheid state, and think that is reprehensible. But I am also a descendant of Holocaust survivors, so I am mindful of the very real historical oppression of Jews, and the importance of Israel is pushing back against that oppression. It's a very thorny problem with very few unambiguous protagonists. But no matter how you slice it, promulgating falsehoods like that Jews are the indigenous people of Palestine is unhelpful.
Israel is a thing and Jews are another. There are more jews in America than Israel. If you want to criticize Israel, that would be easier to present than a criticism of Jews. If you think Judaism is a violent and warlike faith, it is better to criticize it than to criticize generally the descendants of people who might have practiced it, or the state that doesn't even hold it as the state religion.

Honestly, I have no clue what you are trying to say. Clearly we have different definitions of anti-semitism? To me anti-semitism is a form of racism. By definition being opposed to the political actions of a nation is not racism. It could have underlying racist motives, but you cannot ascribe those from the position that a nation state is doing inappropriate things.
That might be fair, but should be applied uniformly (that's a very different internet than the internet of the old days though).
