Ignorance.

Indian Hindus do not circumcise their sons. Neither do Chinese people. Or Europeans. Their penises are all fine.

You probably know many people with pet dogs. How many of them have circumcised their dogs? How often do the dogs shower? Do they get horrible penis diseases? No. Of course not.

(Seriously, have you ever wondered why dogs don't have a glans sticking out? Or horses? Or any other mammal that doesn't wear pants? This is staring you in the face.)

Nothing is going to accumulate under your foreskin, because it unrolls every time you have an erection. That's the point, actually: The sensitive inner skin unrolls to cover the shaft of your erect penis; that's what makes it sensitive. If you are circumcised, what happens instead is that the hairy and insensitive skin from your scrotum and abdomen is pulled forward over the shaft instead. If you have a really strong erection this will actually hurt, as the skin is stretched too much; there is nothing to unroll.

This is staring you in the face. If you have any experience of penises -- perhaps your own -- then you have actual evidence you can see with your own eyes.

Have you ever had a sex partner who wasn't an American? I think these beliefs persist in the US largely because of insularity.
Hacker news: journalists are corrupt and biased and their work is garbage

Also Hacker News: You expect me to read a well-researched article to understand a complex issue?

The loss of reading comprehension skills, and intellectual fortitute required to understand something longer than a Tweet or TikTok saddens me.
If you expect there to be no difference in the meat of livestock that has been fed organic, why would you expect any differences regarding human consumption?
Official one yes. Idk about tens of millions but I’m also thinking 5 million is lower than the true numbers. Though I’m also not sure there is a qualitative difference (as much as it pains me to say).
Perhaps someone here knows about this better. I would love to learn more. Another problem is that we certify international crops from India and China where the soil/water itself has been at times so polluted, that no matter what one does, there are consequences of eating that food. Perhaps there is a way to put random testing from consumers (or restaurants) in place to fix this issue? (So a consumer can send items/produce to a location for testing)
So, I'm assuming like most of those circumcised males, you were probably circumcised at birth. Therefore you and others circumcised at birth really have no way to compare the experience of before and after.

Agreed that condemnation is not the right approach. Also, there are plenty of reason to discourage optional, unnecessary surgical procedures.
Also, ME2 committed character assassination of Liara, who, for some reason, unexplainably turned from a nerdy aecheologist into a deadly spy assassin. And the game railroaded the player into working for Cerberus. Ugh.
Pretty sure that bathing has the same effect.
There is no evidence of torture whatsoever. This is a strange lie you keep posting with your link to 972mag, a biased Palestinian defense magazine.

If you dig a little deeper at what the actual accountant's lawyer said - he said his client was seated in a chair with his hands tied behind his back during his initial arrest. Inventing a new name ("The shabah position") doesn't make it torture.

Obviously the lawyer wants to protect his client from retribution from Al-Haq, so he will make outlandish accusations of "torture". I don't blame him - I'd be afraid of Al-Haq too after testifying against them.

...but remember that both accountants provided detailed testimony in an open court room - not from a torture chamber. Your claims torture are false.
That’s exactly what the US did in WWII. And Britain in the C18.
The bias in this approach is obvious. In your mind, you think a candidate "not shutting up" is a green flag, but the reality is you are trying to hire someone who thinks like you.

There are a million reasons why this approach doesn't work. Maybe they just don't like talking that much. Maybe they don't like the technology you're discussing. Maybe they just don't care enough to have an opinion on it.

None of the above are good reasons to pass on a candidate.

Off topic, but has anyone else noticed the scarce availability of the "regular" Raspberry Pis? A few can still be purchased at a premium price, but many vendors have no stock. Some vendors (such as Element 14) claim a backlog until 12/2022!
Don't forget that using GTK with C is basically switching to a dynamically-typed language too.

Everything is void pointers so you can pass various kinds of GTK structs around. This leaves you either checking the component type constantly or running the risk of something going very wrong.

With Rust, you can test against the specific types being passed around giving you the best of both worlds where you have static typing that is missing in C and you have the performance of those type checks compiling away.

> 2007: Hamas takeover of Gaza

As you mention Hamas, it gives me the opportunity to point out that Israel bankrolled Hamas founder Sheikh Yassin even prior to the founding of Hamas. This was admitted by former military governor of Gaza Yitzhak Segev and other Israeli government and military officials. Israel wanted to undermine secular political Palestinians and empower Islamist political Palestinians. Once successful, they bemoan that the Islamists they funded and worked to empower, have come to power.

Incidentally, the EU funded NGOs which Israel are spying on here are mostly secular (and even the militant groups which Israel is claiming the NGOs are affiliated with are secular as well).

Obviously, this author isn't really your jam. That's perfectly fine. But how do you expect to understand the nuances of a complex issue if you don't invest time? Not every author is going to cater to your tastes, but seekers of knowledge don't expect that. What you have learned is what writing style to anticipate from this author when you read their work again in the future. That's important: perhaps you can skim parts of this author if you don't fancy well-rounded characters in the narrative. But I urge you: don't give up because of one writer's verbosity.

>"Ha, see, I knew organic was always a scam"

I'm probably one of these people, so I feel the need proffer a defense.

It isn't that I think organic produce is a scam. But from what I understand about the verification systems in place it is easy to get away with labeling non-organic products as organic. And since organic products sell at a price premium, everyone has a financial incentive to be in on it. Everyone just passes the buck upstream.

I'm certainly not going to pay a price premium for something that isn't easy to validate. Now, if the organic green peppers look better than the non-organic ones, I might buy them instead, but in this instance, I'm paying for tangibly better produce, not a fancy sticker.

It doesn't help that I grew up in soy bean country right around the time when everyone was going organic, so I've seen first-hand the disdain that land owners had for organic buyers. The article is really spot on in this respect.

Rust encodes object lifetime into its type system, and enforces constraints on how references are used through the borrow checker. With Rust, you don't need a GC. Object lifetimes (not just memory!) are automatically managed through static lifetime analysis. Time and CPU spent in a tracing GC is simply lost, it's emitted as waste heat. In Rust you can reclaim some of that back, and still use a programming style very similar to a GC'd language.

Remember: static beats dynamic, every time. Time spent checking assertions at compile time pays for itself many times over in time spent debugging these same issues at run time. Just as static typing is a huge win over dynamic typing, static lifetime analysis (Rust memory semantics) is a huge win over dynamic lifetime analysis (GC).
He was part of a student group that was associated with the PFLP, which is labeled a terrorist group and has done violent acts, and was convicted on that basis.

You know who else this sort of indict applies to? Nelson Mandela and his involvement with the ANC.

Nevermind that I don't trust the Israeli legal system that existed in the 80s to give a fair shake to a Palestinian student activist.

It's a crutch for a boring life, too. Think back to how many times you came out of a scrolling binge only to be brutally aware of how disconnected you felt in that moment. Like that daze you can get when coming out from a cinema, except you just go can just go straight back into the cinema to numb that feeling of discontentment.

When I cut out social media, reddit, youtube and imgur, I was essentially left with nothing to do when inbetween hobbies and work, but you quickly start finding ways to spend your downtime with more fulfilling passtimes.
Oh, but there is a way to "share custom filters with others" :)
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-aro...

There is also a cool site that aggregates custom lists and allows you to search for specific filter-lists and narrow down choices by using filters on top. You can then subscribe to them directly - most are hosted on github. Just keep in mind some of them haven't been updated in years - you can preview them, and check their last update - in most of cases anyway.

BTW there are filters specifically designed to remove newsletter-signup messages, popups, popunders, as well as general "annoyances" :)
>have "won" the console war against MS three of the four generations

Four out of four generations if we go by (current) sales. The PS2 outsold everything, the PS3 had a narrow sales advantage compared to the Xbox 360, the PS4 pummeled the Xbox One and the PS5 has gotten a pretty considerable lead over the Xbox Series. Obviously the latter one is still an on-going matter and maybe the Series S will get a sudden boost in popularity later in the race (it's currently basically the only current-generation console you can find in stock easily, so it's probably not that popular now).

HN is definitely social media. It has some features that stop the feedback cycles that others have (I mean no notifications of replies, de-emphasizing the person posting in favor of the content, etc).

I think the biggest difference is that social media amplifies the lowest common denominator view (I don't mean stupidest, but more most risk averse, most easily offended, angriest, whatever) and the lowest common denominator appears to be a little higher here.

> A futuristic dystopia. A place where the real world sucks. Where people consider talking to someone a chore. Connection, closeness, ambition are replaced by detachment and dogmatic slumber. Society is satisfied with shallow thoughts and the pursuit of artificially created stimuli in an imaginary world.

Beautifully written top-notch orwellian poetry. Seriously inspiring.

Also as someone who has only ever used social media as a low-level content creator (we used to be called deadbeat artists) I feel like this starts an important conversation about the new problems that develop when you stop consuming and start doing.

In my experience over the last decade there are fewer and fewer ways to find a community and any success as a creator of any kind without getting corralled into social media and furthermore getting corralled into being a daily active user / consumer as to not get shadow banned by any given app.

Doing rather than consuming feels much healthier than doom scrolling, but theres a larger dialogue that has to happen about the problems with creating in the 21st century imho.

The established facts, that the Shin Bet tortures people and israeli courts accept anything extracted under torture as testimony, do not in any way make your attempt at attacking sources of information nor your claim that this is false any more valid.

Your insistence makes me wonder what kind of incentives you have to be perceiving to go out of your way to defend a bald-faced lie like this.

I am addicted to reddit and news consumption, in a casual way. It is simply habit to load up a tab with reddit. I'll get bored with the /r/all feed, close it, and reopen it. Then I'll hop over to news, HN, other things trying to keep my mind from focusing on anything else.

I have at times uninstalled reddit from my phone, and blocked reddit and certain news domains on my pihole, so that even if I slip into the URL bar unconsciously, I get slapped away.

Not talking about Gaza, look closely at the whole map and how all palestinian territory is fractured, divided and isolated from one another. One can think its a security measure but it ceases to be one when they move in their own settlers in.

Second, molotov and rocks is protest, not a peaceful one but it still is. You have to understand these people have nothing else to lose, they’ve been beaten down with far more uneven military power.
