Both describe the refugees as a result of the “Arab attack” in 1948. But even a cursory look at history reveals how flawed this is. Before a single Arab soldier crossed into Palestine on May 15, 1948 more than half the total refugees were created. Arab mobilization then became a reaction to massive refugee flows and not the cause of it. When Israel declared independence, its military had already succeeded in depopulating Palestine’s largest cities of Jaffa and Haifa as well as Tiberias, Safad and Beisan. Perhaps those writing today’s New York Times should read their own reporting from this period because they’d quickly learn they are peddling distortions that are simply unfit to print.

The depopulation of Palestine was no accident. The Zionist movement sought to create a Jewish state in a territory where Jews were a minority. On the eve of the Nakba, Jews constituted 30 percent of the population and owned 7 percent of the land. Within months, they forged a state on 78 percent of the territory where they flipped the demographic ratio from 30:70 Jews to Arabs to 90:10. To think such dramatic demographic change happens by accident—only coincidently suiting decades old Zionist aims—is dangerous naiveté. Such things happen only by design. — https://www.thedailybeast.com/nakba-denials-must-be-condemne...

Look, I get it, you want a country of your own, and consider some Palestinian displacement a necessary consequence. Can't make an omelette etc. But people would respect Israel a lot more if it just admitted it's a Jewish ethno-state borne of conquest, instead of peddling excuses and rationalizations how they just want to ensure democracy, and expelling the previous inhabitants of what is now their land is just an unfortunate coincidence that is not their fault.

> You don't need to explicitly install your replacement code and start that server (java -jar .... / node server.js )

If you just copy your code without explicitly flushing opcache, or having traffic on that server that you are copying your code to, that can lead some interesting issues where your old and new code pieces running simultaniuosly

> You don't need a systemd unit to keep your server running

Actually a systemd unit keeps your PHP-FPM processes running on most of the Linux distributions. But writing a systemd unit config file is like 10 lines

> You don't have to worry about keeping your server up

This is redundant with the point above.

> You don't need to use Docker because PHP is pretty stable target.

First, you don’t need Docker for other languages. Actually a static linked binary (for example Go) is much more portable than a PHP application.
Secondly, good luck for keeping your OS up to date.

> You're not forced to deploy Kubernetes or Docker swarm to deploy code infront of users.

You are not forced to do this with any other languages. I was running Java, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go applications without any of these (in large scale).

> You could use Ansible to deploy your PHP but you can probably just use git.

You can do this with any other language.

> You can spin up multiple servers and deploy the same file to them all and nginx and php-fpm shall handle concurrency and parallelism for you since each PHP session is independent and stateless.

Haha, thats a good joke.
Once we ran into a PHP-FPM issue where separate FPM pools were running each others (separate) codebase randomly.
And there are sessions, local files and opcache that are all stateful. PHP won’t help you writing safely scalable code at all. That’s up to the developers, regardless of the programming language.
Oh, and PHP-FPM has nothing to do with handling concurrency.

"And if you are in a discussion about if VDP1 is 3D capable"

This was not the discussion. The discussion was if Sega missed the total shift of gaming to 3D games that was brought on by 3D graphics cards and that propelled PCs into the mass gaming market (before 3D it mostly excelled at thing consoles couldn't do, like text adventures and point&click). And that it didn't need 2D hardware (at least for the international market, JP had e.G. more Shmups and it seems less interest in 3D shooters) but dedicated 3D hardware like the PowerVR2 they did put in the Dreamcast (too late, and I wrote Dreamcast software and loved the machine, so I'm not against Sega hardware in any way). And if they had anticipated the move of games (the vast majority of todays AAA titles are 3D games, for the better or worse, and in the Top 10 of most sold games, 8 are 3D and 2 are 2D or 2.5D) in it's majority to 3D, they at least had a chance to overtake the Playstation and survive as a game hardware vendor. The Saturn was only on par with the Playstation (e.G. at the time I owned Tomb Raider on both), which wasn't enough.

If you take a look at the most sold PS1 games, it's mostly 3D games:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PlayStati...

The Wikipedia page says this about 3D of the Saturn:

"[..] which resulted in the creation of the "SuperH RISC Engine" (or SH-2) later that year [..] According to Kazuhiro Hamada, [..] we realized that a single CPU would not be enough to calculate a 3D world." Although the Saturn's design was largely finished before the end of 1993, reports in early 1994 of the technical capabilities of Sony's upcoming PlayStation console prompted Sega to include another video display processor (VDP) to improve 2D performance and 3D texture mapping"

Sega build the Saturn without a focus on 3D. Because they saw 3D coming too late, late in and after development had mainly finished, they added a 2nd CPU and added a VDP for 3D texture mapping to compensate for the lack of 3D capabilities.
I for one welcome our new multi-polar world overlords.

Years ago I worked in Soho and watched him paint a piece of gum outside my office - it was stunning and real piece of art. I got a few photos that evening.

Shame to see it go, but interesting while it was there.

I organized two demoscene parties in Argentina with some friends. It was a fantastic experience, although I didn't get any sleep for four consecutive days during both occasions.

You would have to prove that trained non-off-duty citizens were prevented from supporting, otherwise you would implement a policy where you shrink the number of people that can take said position and that increases cost for tax payers.
It's trivial to prevent this category of card from being accepted. Many similar services already block pre-paid cards.
If it’s that simple, do you care to list out all of the countries that do this?
When performing this kind of verification, you can easily (and usually do) block cards from services like privacy.com by looking at BIN codes. I also don’t think spammers can get large numbers of unique DPANs from Apple and Google Pay since that involves a cryptographic exchange between your device and Apple/Google with involvement from your issuing bank.

Also most payment processors provide some sort of key that lets you identify if two users entered the same credit card number, for example Stripe[1]. So you’re not limited to last four digits for checking if two cards are the same.

We'll see what the future will bring, as the real edge of computing is in user's hands.

There's a keen interest to get there for Omnigres applications, but the shape of that is still somewhat vague.
Can you automate that though? Having to buy an individual card per bot could be a pretty annoying secondary cost for a thing whose lifetime value is likely measured in the single digits of dollars.
Your comment made me imagine a "card" catalog where each card is some kind of wireless transparent display or e-ink screen. It would provide a tacticle, physical representation of data that one could flip through to navigate the information space. It would be costly, and probably not practical or useful at all, haha.

Speaking of card catalogs, every time this topic comes up, it reminds me of a book I really enjoyed about index cards.

I wonder how much of that $1 they get after payment processing fees and such.
That's not very scalable.
> Genetic computing is obviously not a thing, genes are long terms storage, not processing.

That's like saying the tape in Turing's machine is not computing. But if you include the RNA transcription and protein interactions and utilize the complementary base pairs, you can do processing. I recall seeing a paper where solving an NPC problem like Traveling Salesperson could be done with DNA chains being mixed and matched. There was a lot of excitement about this in the 90s and that was before we'd invented microchannels for faster codon analysis.

But, to be clear, I don't think it's a computing area worth further investigation, I think the hype being built up during the development of the Human Genome Project, especially as they were building a lot of new tech and managed to finish sequencing two years ahead of schedule, got a lot of other industries excited. They were still years from completion in '97 but the biological process seemed like massively parallel compute that could scale faster than an effort to build the equivalent data centers..

> but not all library files are architecture-dependent.

While this is definitely true, the presence in /usr/share/ of many files from library packages on my system (Debian) still suggests that architecture-independent files should not go into /usr/lib/.

> See Python files at /usr/lib/python<version>

Aren't the compiled (.pyc) files in there architecture-dependent (or could be; genuine question, I have no idea)?

Yes, but it doesn't follow they cannot be installed there if that location is the most suitable from the distribution packaging point of view.
Funnily enough, this is completely true, no speculation required. Honeygain is owned by Oxylabs, and so is JumpTask.
Honeygain was first established in Belarus. Not physically, there was just some dude whose name was used for legal purposes. The guy did exist for real, but did not have any power in Honeygain. You can check some older PR articles where the location of the articles are Minsk, Belarus. They did not put any effort to remove it.
Anyway, we still worked from Oxylabs office in Lithuania. After political turmoil in Belarus, Honeygain had to "make a move" so they "moved" to Lithuania and established UAB Honeygain. This happened rather recently and every employee that got greenlight for transfer had to quietly change their workplace in Linkedin. By quietly I mean not to make an announcement like "started new position at Honeygain". The thing is, they did not realize that past workplaces are clearly visible and you had cought them, OP.
To mitigate some possible risks, there were plans to act like Oxylabs "acquired" Honeygain. That was the narrative they had in mind and started a campaign regarding the announcement of Oxylabs partnership with Honeygain. There are still articles floating around about it, and they are trying to scrape it off the face of earth for whatever reason. It's chaotic to say the least.
As for JumpTask, it was created as a way to pay Honeygain users less. And it should raise suspicions even without insider information as to why JumpTask, a completely unknown project with no investors and nothing, immediatelly got a partnership with Honeygain, arguably the biggest passive income application in the world. It's just plain weird. Not weird when you know that JumpTask was created by Honeygain, and Honeygain was created by Oxylabs.
You should poke around the JumpTask "About us" page and the Linkedin accounts of the key members there. You should find the same thing there, previous employments at Oxylabs and whatnot. There are quite a few names like that in general (formerly at Oxylabs, currently at JumpTask). Only the new batches of hires start immediatelly at Honeygain or JumpTask. Another tip would be to check the archived versions of JumpTask "About us" page. People changed and they may still have some information hiding in plain sight (Linkedin, that is, or internet as a whole where articles matter).

Zero ASIC Lets Everyone Design Their Own Processor
I wanted to emphasise the easiness of PHP in my comment.

You don't need a systemd unit file for your php files whereas you do for your Java app unless you're using a Java container such as Tomcat.

I have typically used system packages to install PHP and nginx and fpm which includes those systemd units

My overreaching point was the ease of using PHP. As a low tech solution.

In the previous era you just FTP your files to the server but you can use git instead which is probably easier than using Ansible. (That's my comparison of FTP vs Git vs Ansible and which is easiest)

Doing zero downtime deployments with PHP is easier than Java (rolling deploys in Kubernetes)
I really, for absolutely no good reason, desperately want to own a old style wood card catalog. Card catalogs conjure some powerful memories for me of flipping through school and local library card catalogs to find things specifically and speculatively.

Yes, computer search is better in many ways, but I miss the tactile experience of riffing through the cards and the minor archeology of finding "ancient" cards of books that had been in the collections for decades amid crisp new cards for recent releases.

Well, I think the point was that our understanding of nature was missing a law. If you don't like this usage of the word law then that's up to you, but it is standard as in 'Newton's Third Law of Motion'. I'd take your 'Something generative [...]' to be the definition of the word 'law' in this case.

I think maybe 'discover fundamental new laws of evolution' for the title? It seems pretty groundbreaking to me it's showing that evolution exists across all scales and phenomena and is not unique to biology.

Stolen credit cards generally cost enough per number that getting one Twitter bot out of each is not going to be economically viable. Not to mention the fact that if the $1 is charged back, Twitter will know about it.

It might eliminate some of the like bots and other noise, but might also make the blue check bot network cheaper to run.

I don't supposed you're also familiar with GnuCash and can compare and contrast? I've been using GnuCash for a couple of years. I like that it's free software and I control it, and I like that it stores its state in text files (XML?). That said, there's some annoyances. It's difficult to automate anything (e.g. all transactions that have a string X, should go into account Y). Also I don't think it supports labels (???!)

I'm considering whether to move away from it but it would of course be a considerable investment of effort.
