> Jews have been prosecuted on many parts of the world and on different timelines of history
> They have also found refugee in Muslim community from Christian prosecution multiple times

Nevertheless persecution seems more likely now in the Middle East than in in non middle eastern countries. In any case, the fact that they have been persecuted by everyone wouldn't be an argument against them being less worried, on the contrary, they should be terrified then.

> It doesn't. The children still remain Isreali citizens. Which means this is an inconvenience to the spouse and a quite racist law.

Note I find this abhorrent, but inconveniencing mothers or possible future mothers does lower the probability of Jews becoming a minority. And yes, inconveniencing here is an euphemism.

> History shows that their prosecution, demographics, and geography are not that related. Jews got prosecuted because they held significant wealth in a certain societies. It's a power/wealth grab in certain cases; and finding an easy scapegoat in other cases.

You're making the case that Jews shouldn't allow impoverished migrants into their land, again, I don't see why this should diminish their concerns.

"being involved in terrorist activities" is pretty poorly defined. In the US at least that could amount to charitable giving that accidentally finds its way to the orphans of suicide bombers.
The worst is when someone derails their own talk by putting up pics of their dog or cat and saying "oh yeah, there's my cat, Marbles, he's super cute and thinks he's helping". Of course they can't just do it one time, so they have to sprinkle Marbles the cat through the entire presentation. The audience gets distracted, everyone says "aww", and by the end you realize you didn't absorb any value from the last 20 minutes.

While I agree with you, so many new cars offer remote start/remote engine heating block initiation or even the ability to summon your vehicle from a parking garage and have it drive toward the exit. Many consumers will not purchase cars without these new features, all of which require an external server to issue commands to a vehicle. Definitely a huge security risk, especially with lack of manual controls.

Where are the “low-chip-count” new cars with VFD radio displays, dials, traditional keys, no screens and especially no cellular modem?

Hi! We would have so much fun having a coffee/beer together over this/I would love to learn more about your experience.

To say it simply, I agree! Like completely, my own opinion here (building on yours) is that it's really unwise/not smart for anyone, whether they are an engineer or not, to day trade/trade options/trade on short timelines.

Stock Unlock is built around long term investing, and being able to more quickly learn how to understand a company. We don't push/have anything that would influence someone to trade/invest, our tools are very catered to a long term investor and facilitating their investment education journey and analysis. For example, we have no options anything in our site, no day trading charts. However we do have very in depth data visualization tools around historical financials/ways to compare companies financials/and ways to dive further into a companies executive team/all the other things you'd want to look at when considering a long term hold.

Shameless plug, I am very "bullish" on also teaching the investing mindset, basically platformitizing great minds like Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch so people know what to expect when buying a stock in terms of price fluctuations/unpredictability of prices short term.

If you're up for it I'd love to continue this thread, thanks for the thoughts!
There is no unified Palestinian government. I’m going to assume you are referring to hamas, who hasn’t faced election since the mid 2000s in Gaza (though to be fair they would probably win again today).

I’m not asserting there is any clean path forward, but at the same time the hypothetical you are offering wouldn’t happen overnight either.

The question is whether we are able to justify actions as they are now. Will Israel work towards reconciliation and restitution or will it continue with its current policy of colonialism and expulsion?

I don't know where you're scared "increase effeciency" or "waste less" will go. It's perfectly fine to have gripes with how that gets accomplished. "Fuel taxes are bad because X", "cap and trade would be terrible" or "Windmills suck", I get, "using less energy is bad", I do not get.

I mean, the most common proposal is taxes on consumption to fund clean energy and/or cleanup. Not really a "different rules" situation in my mind.

For anyone looking for investment resource targeted towards Indian Market.

https://indiainvestments.wiki is the best resource and free for anyone to contribute to.

Most people don't need to research individual stocks as OP said.

They should learn about XIRR, excel, risk and portfolio management (which will cover insurance, emergency fund, expense management), and different types of investment instruments.

The wiki covers all of it and answers frequently asked questions related to Indian Market.

Everyone push toward trading individual stocks because it's profitable for businesses. Brokerage earn more money through those trades whereas many AMC which manage direct funds lose money on transaction cost in initial years and only make up for it via other side income. It is the case in India.

I see "poor grammar" in the context of people writing things that they would never say, and would mark as wrong if they were to read it out loud.

I also see "poor grammar" from non-native speakers. Including me: Duolingo was correct today when it told be that I shouldn't use "tu es" as a French subjunctive. No native speaker would say that. I just couldn't hear that what I typed was different from "tu aies" -- though I should have known from context.

You're absolutely right that much of what people tag as "poor grammar" is in fact a different dialect. It's perfectly natural to them and the people around them, following a set of rules that they know but may never have written down. They may evolve from mistakes that become persistent and thus valid in context.

Speaking in the wrong register or dialect is an error of its own -- not a grammatical one, but a semiotic one.
Yea that was funny - the reason socal people say "the" before freeways is that for a long time many of them were officially labeled things like "the San Diego Freeway" (along with a number). So it just fell into place after that.
“ If I reach out via chat, it's because I expect a realtime exchange. ”

I don’t make that assumption. My company is distributed across the globe. Some teams are offset by 12.5 hours. For someone not collocated, chat (via Slack) is closer to email except more focused.

I expect people to response to chats “at their earliest convenience”. If they are in different time zones, we try to pack as much into each response to maximize the communications. If they are collocated, once we start a conversation it usually continues in realtime.
> Basically, they are trying to set up a synchronous channel over what is essentially an asynchronous medium.

Yes, it is just a workaround for missing features of explicit seession begin/end that are in other mediums.

> This is even more annoying than just slowing down the answer, they are demanding your undivided attention during the conversation.

Why is that annoying? IMHO it is a sensible trade - i offer my undivided attention and expect an undivided attention from the other side. As long as such conversation is beneficial to both sides then it is advantageous to giving it full attention instead of continuously task-switching on-and-off with each reply.
I think all audience driven endeavours should be passed through the lens of "is it entertaining?"

That doesnt mean you have to sacrifice information or rigor. But if excellent information is said and nobody was listening was it ever really said at all?
> The big question is (ignoring spatial audio), can I tell a difference between 16 bit / 44 kHz (CD) and 24 bit / 192 kHz (studio master)?

Unless there's something different about the mix (as you note), it's unlikely that most people in most circumstances could hear a meaningful difference.

If someone has high end equipment & speakers and the speakers are placed correctly in an ideal room or if you've got high end headphones, then maybe, but otherwise I'm skeptical.
Everything in the universe is either mass or energy (and mass is energy), so making claims about vinyl being "physical" doesn't need to be said. I assume they had a point to make, and I'm hoping that they will make it more clearly.

> I'd hope engineers would know that their incoming title is part of the offer package and thus may be negotiable

Sure, but you don't even get considered for those higher level roles and that's the main problem. You don't show up in searches for "staff engineer" or "principle engineer" so recruiters aren't even aware of you (for Netflix this is less of a problem but for engineers from similar orgs it's an issue).

> Also, I've heard rumors you can have a satisfying career without reaching the vaunted role of principal

It's not the title that's important, it's the scope of the role and the impact. Usually the title comes along with it and is a good indicator of what the scope will be.

> I'm of the opinion that titles are a lousy game to play, because they are inherently zero sum.

I agree but like I said above, it's not the title per se that's important but the scope that it represents. At a startup it's less important because you can make your own scope, but at a large enterprise, your title pretty much determines your scope.
> If search engines thought that their trusted sources were publishing disinformation, they wouldn't be trusted sources.

You’re confusing propaganda sources with fallible trusted sources.
Military systems tend to have a lot of manual overrides because you don't want your nukes to not be able to fire because the internet is down. In some cases these overrides are what you use to test the equipment.

The military in general tends toward manpower and process where the civilian world tends toward automation and stupid-proofing. Militaries invest a ton in manpower and process so often times it makes sense to leverage that rather than adding tech.

After Black September (Palestinian-Jordan war in 1970) and the bombings in Amman, the Palestinian state is definitely not an extension of Jordan. Even if there is a number of Palestinians living in Jordan, they are not Jordanians. That makes that view quite wrong.
There are currently self-driving vehicles operating on public roads with no safety driver. That tech exists now. It may have many severe limitations (precision mapping, weather, construction areas, etc), but it does exist. Reducing those limitations may be a long term project but it is already clear that self driving vehicles could be deployed today without human controls as long as the scope of deployment matches those limitations.

This rules allows car manufacturers to work on new fully automous cars without controls that are designed to function as campus shuttles or taxis in a limited scope. There is still a lot of work to be done regulating the use self driving vehicles, but this removes a safety regulation hurdle that is stopping states and car makers from experimenting with different approaches.

I would never post something like this. I'm just as peeved by "hello" type chat messages as everyone else here, just as I am when someone walks into my office and starts talking to me while I'm doing deep work. But I never want to make a colleague feel bad by doing so. The long term benefits of maintaining a warm and friendly work environment far outweigh the occasional annoyance. Also, most people are smart enough to pick up on subtle involuntary social cues. There aren't many repeat offenders.

"Hello, how are you? I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule a tour of the winery today?"

This is perfectly fine and valid, and in fact is usually the format of my messages to others. It's entirely different from:

"Hello, how are you?"

...

...

...

"I'm fine; what's up?"

"Oh, I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule a tour of the winery today?"
But it doesn't really tell you if I'm available to chat -- my availability depends on context.

If a coworker texts me "Hi" at 7pm, I'm probably not going to respond until work hours. If he texts me "Hi, haven't spoken in a while, let's catch up", then I probably will respond.

Or, if I'm in a meeting and someone texts "Hi", I'm probably not going to answer since I don't know if they have a quick question or want a 30 minute chat, but if they say "Hey, what's the name of that guy in engineering that you said I should see?" then I'll probably just send a quick answer.
A pity?

Cut the “America is a terrible imperial country. They invaded Iraq and police the world blah blah blah” BS.

Feel free to point out all the shortcomings, but you should indeed be grateful. The world is lucky to have at least one military superpower that actually has some regard for the rights of other nations and peoples. You’re not going to get that from Russia or China.
Remember. American companies chose this path of violence and turned all their employees into mercenaries. It is your duty to jump ship.
Grimes on Music, Mars, and Her Secret New Baby with Elon Musk
It's definitely a very difficult issue, and the answer is definitely better left to someone with more political experience than myself (having zero), and with more knowledge of the Israeli political structure, but to start with-

1. Israel should move its capital to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem should become a U.N. Mandate. No single group should have exclusive claim over what many groups consider their holiest place.
2. There remains a permanent group like the U.N. security council in the Knesset that represents the Jewish people and their interests in the state of Israel, so regardless of the makeup of the coalition government, the interest of a Jewish state/state of the Jews remain effective - this is the least undemocratic way there could be representation while maintaining representation
3. All occupied territories are either returned or annexed--if annexed, full citizenship and rights are given to those who live there

Those are just my thoughts. I'm sure greater minds would come up with greater opinions. I just firmly believe there is a way to co-exist.
What citizenship status do Palestianians have by default, if not Israeli? Given that Israel doesn't recognise Palestine as a state, doesn't that obligate them to confer Israeli citizenship to the residents, as they would otherwise be stateless?
The situation is very much analogous to South African Apartheid. In both cases, an insecure population at the helm of an ethnostate sought to further deprive their state's already-disenfranchised co-residents of legal rights, in an effort to achieve security for themselves. White South Africans made the exact same arguments as Israelis, and in fact collaborated extensively with Israeli security services because they understood that the exact same groups opposed to South African Apartheid were the most potent opponents of Israeli apartheid. The Israelis remained staunch allies of the South Africans long after the rest of the world had decided to isolate them, because the Israelis understood implicitly that they were engaged in the same policies.

As to your question, I don't think a wise Israeli government would make every Palestinian a citizen tomorrow, but I think it is deeply unwise and immoral to further entrench the current policy of legal apartheid. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict will end in either ethnofascism and ethnic cleansing or some form of reconciliation, and this is a step towards ethnofascism.

Hi, in my case, it's not for the reasons you imply. I'm perfectly comfortable with and appreciate the importance of the "small-talk handshake", which is more critical in person.

That said, avoiding "naked pings"[1] online is a matter of reducing the amount of mental drain for me. This is especially important for your sanity if you're actively helping out folks on a chat channel (community, or internal). As noted in my comment[1], I don't insist on this, as it doesn't help being dogmatic about it.

No it isn't. In my country religion has no impact whatsoever in who you can marry or your citizenship.

Israel is not "just like us". It is a country founded on a religion. It treats that religion as superior and grants it more status.
To be harsh Israel is more like KSA and Iran.
Exactly. I won't send ping or hi to a random person over chat. Frankly, I'd be more likely to send them an email with details, requests, etc.

However, there are people who I work closely with who understand that if I do some sort of "are you there?" it's because I want to have a fairly synchronous conversation over the phone or over chat.
The real question is why Tim waits 4 minutes to reply to the "Hello!", but instantly replies to "Hello! <question>". What a selfrighteous jackass.

Seriously though - as someone who's a 20-year resident in technical channels, who's had to deal with plenty of "Hello!"'s - this website comes off as incredibly condescending and very stereotypical for people working in an IT department.
