I feel the hardware is already here, it’s the lack of users and software at this point. I struggle to think of what massive hardware improvement could be needed.

I still struggle to see a future where VR/AR headsets don’t have 50m users by the end of the decade. I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Quest3 be a sleeper success once the wave of interest generated by Quest2 materializes in the form of new software.
Figure out why the much hyped IDF professional forces got clowned on by Hamas would be where I’d start.

Bombing infrastructure, hospitals, and a dense city filled with civilians is not.
Come on. Isreal have modern army which have the most advanced weapons and technologies with the fu support of the most powerful countries in the world. It is open secret that they have a medium sized nuclear arsenal. US sent troops and weapons everytime they are in war. They occupy the 1967 Palestinian borders except gaza, Golan from syria and some parts of Lebanon. They are fighting a bunch of people whatever they are are confined in an open prison.

They have the most advanced air force in the region which until now dropped thousands of bombs daily on gaza. There is no danger from any arab country armed intervention.

What survival are you talking about? Are you trying to play the victim of holocaust and use the historical suffering now?
To provide a helpful analogy:

Suppose you want to get karma for a low-effort take on an engineering forum. If you say, for example, "academia is just like the mafia," the low-effort will be immediately recognized and down-voted.

Alternatively, you can make an assertion that is outside of the scope of engineering. Like "this is actually money laundering." Engineers don't have the expertise to assess that, but they will happily carry on a discussion of whatever process you describe for that misnomer.

Voila! Your karma has been granted.

Now you just have to devote a tiny tiny amount of time and energy downstream to clarify that you weren't talking about "actually money laundering" in the sense of, you know, "general money", but rather something else entirely.

In my analogy, that tiny tiny amount of time and energy is like the lab equipment that the university provides to the poor little grant recipient.
I've read that an H2O2 soak is a reasonable precaution to reduce bacterial load, but I haven't done it yet. If I started doing that I'd be going through a lot of hydrogen peroxide.

I think you missed the word civilians.

Half the middle east has the right to come to the US and murder civilians by your reasoning above.
Not trolling. Just trying to understand the details of the situation, which you boiled down to: the US bombed civilians because "bad guys were hiding among the guests," which I highly doubt is the case. Although maybe you're just saying that's how a Pakistani person would probably interpret the situation, which I absolutely agree with.

Meanwhile, Hamas routinely fires artillery shells directly at Israeli civilians, and people get offended when I say this is different than Israel attack Hamas's terrorism infrastructure embedded in civilian areas.

> If you're developing a feeling that anyone disagreeing with you is a supporter of Hamas or an enemy of Israel

Total strawman. I'm getting the feeling that nobody is capable of talking about this conflict rationally, which is why it's so toxic. Which brings us back to the actual topic: a man got fired for a tweet that sympathizes with a dying Palestinian civilian, which is totally absurd.
>Israel is clearly defending themselves against a genocidal adversary who just killed more Jews in one day than any day since the Holocaust

And Israel had previously killed way more Palestinian civilians than that. Why is a Jewish life worth more than a Palestinian life?

Something really bad has been happening there for the last decades, but it's so messed up and mixed up in past mistakes, revenge and religion that there is no more ability to reason with either side.

What really galls me is that we were so close to finally solving this and then Rabin was murdered (by his own side, go figure) and it all went to pieces.

Signal’s devs recommend that it be installed from the Play Store, and that is what the vast majority of people do. There has been heavy speculation that certain state actors are able to push a compromised Play Store update to users of interest. Moreover, the Signal board has been overhauled recently, Moxie left, and at least one new member has a US government background. It’s possible that the organization itself has been somehow compromised.

(While Signal still offers an .apk for download from its website, the organization does not recommend it. Moreover, that APK comes with its own update functionality where the same risks may exist as with the Play Store.)
how does Israel give evacuation warnings if Palestinian telcos are offline?
The point here is that the photographer is not necessarily trusted.

You can already sign a JPEG with your GPG key; that won’t convince anyone that it wasn’t actually photoshopped or outright generated by AI.

The point here is to have a more trusted hardware vendor vouch for their camera not being easy to trick into signing arbitrary data, but only actual images it took itself.

Of course that also puts a lot of pressure on the key generation, storage and processing mechanism of that vendor; trusted computing in this scenario (i.e. the adversary has unrestricted and persistent access to the system) isn’t easy to get right.

If you think any other country with a massively more powerful army would put up with a neighbor intermittently terrorizing them and then hide behind civilians and not respond similarly, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Doesn't make it right. But there's no easy way out of this.

Look at the US response to 9-11 to see what other countries would do...
They identify ones that are over the limit and ones that are under, but even the ones that are under aren't significantly under - it's not like a 100x reduction.

Sam's choice has 99% cadmium - only 1% below the limit. They point out that no level of cadmium is safe... so how can they say it's okay to eat Sam's Choice chocolate? Maybe they need to describe their limit choice better. It seems like they might have tested everything then chosen their limit so that half the products were okay.

> have outright called for retribution

When Israel invaded Gaza in 2014 they killed 2,310 people. 70% were civilians. In return they lost only 67 soldiers. They also destroyed 7-10k homes and damaged 87k other homes.

Between 2005-2008, 1,754 Palestinians and 117 Israelis have lost their lives due to the ongoing occupation. Between 2008-2023 2,329 more Palestinians and 308 more Israeli people lost their lives.

The vast majority of Israeli casualties are soldiers and the vast majority of Palestinian casualties are civilian.

Now in the span of just a few days Israel has killed over 7k more Palestinians. This isn't "retribution". This is an ongoing genocide. One which the UN has tried to intercede OVER and OVER and OVER again but always fails. Despite almost every single country in the UN voting on the side of Palestine there is one country that ensures Israel is never held accountable for its war crimes: the United States.

Between 1954 and 2023 the US has used its Veto power to strike down 34 resolutions relating to Palestine and Israel. Resolutions that the entire rest of the world's countries supports. Resolutions that could've stopped or significantly reduced this ongoing bloodshed
Here’s another person reporting the same thing:

(It’s Larry McEnerney’s very excellent lecture The Craft of Writing Effectively, aimed at writers who are either academians or otherwise experts in some field.)
Hamas has an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers(1). That's about 6% to 8% of the entire adult Gazan male population. It's impossible to have that many soldiers without widespread support. Maybe not a majority. But certainly a significant minority.

Like it or not, a significant percentage of the adult Gazan population are responsible for Hamas because they're actively fighting for Hamas or directly supporting them. Pointing out that those people are accountable, and can choose a different future, is not genocidal language. It's stating the facts of the situation.

Germany also faced the same choice after WW2. They chose to eradicate Nazism, which is a big part of why Germany is the successful country it is today.

That's great news, keep up the good work! Thanks for your time
A bicycle is trash (fun to ride, not that useful). What are you going to carry on your bike? Five bags? That’s not even going to get your family through 3 days. I don’t want to go 5 miles away, I want to go 200. With bikes and walking, your world is small. Electric cars powered by renewable energy get rid of most of the negative externalities. For those that remain, that’s too bad because just like eating meat I’m not going to stop doing it because that’s what makes me happy. I’m only living as humanity has always done, people in dense urban centers are the anomaly when viewed historically. I probably more than make up for any remaining externalities by growing my own meat and eggs and partially growing my own vegetables. That’s probably thousands of miles of transportation emissions saved.
An impactful thing you can do for your health is delete all of your social apps and disengage from the circus completely. I did that a couple of months ago and it’s improved my concentration and given me back a lot more time to do other things.

In several of your comments in this discussion you seem to be suggesting that all Palestinian civilians are guilty and fair game for retribution.

Reminder that the large majority of Palestinians never voted for Hamas. Even in the last election, which was now 17 years ago, most Palestinians didn't vote for them. Any Palestinian adult who came of age after 2006 didn't vote for them. And not a single Palestinian child has ever voted for Hamas.
So the thousands of children killed in Gaza are guilty?

> if Gazan citizens learn the lessons of their mistakes, they still have a future.

What future would that be?

The whole reason this conflict keeps going is because of faulty reasoning like this.

Gazan citizens do not have a say in much of anything, they're either combatants, captives or hostages depending on what your perspective from outside Gaza is.

> Word on the street is Hamas is actively preventing people from evacuating.

The majority of Palestinians from the north have evacuated to the south. So if they tried it was completely ineffective.
> Nearly all of the over 7k people killed in Gaza in the past few days are civilians.

This number comes from Hamas, so I would take it with a grain of salt. Hamas intentionally uses its civilians as shields for their military equipment. Here is a quote from Hamas's 1988 charter:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." [1]

> I'm confused how the "inner browser" meaningfully helps you accomplish this.

Right not it is not hard to write an adblocker, just block network requests and DOM elements (regardless of whom hosts of proxies them).

A browser in a browser would make blocking dom as hard as attaching a debugger and manipulating a price that has been hardened.

Network requests may still be able to be blocked, but it is going to make ad blocking harder.
He's not confused, he's deliberately conflating them because he wants violent retribution against a civilian population. It seems all the wrong lessons were learned from WW2. Instead of "never again" it seems to be "this time by us."

This was supposed to be a product announcement, I guess, but 90% of it was spent bitching.

Instead of telling me what Krita is, why I should use it, and how exciting it’s now available on the Mac App Store, we get complaints and lectures. (You don't need to tell us that it costs more on the Mac App Store and complain about it; just set the price to what you need it to be, maybe have some tact and say something like "Each app store's pricing reflects their unique costs and revenue sharing model")

Do you have evidence or this is just a literal word on street?

By the way there is nowhere to escape the Isreali bombardment in gaza strip. And Palestinians don't want to leave their lands because they know they will never see it again. Hell most gazans are refugees from other parts in Palestine who had endured something like this before.
It’s more complicated than that. Cargo rockets don’t all need to be launched at once, they just need to be ready to burn in the launch window. In fact because they’ll need to be refuelled in orbit they have to be launched before the launch window anyway. The passenger rockets will be the last to launch.

Optimal transfer orbits have short windows, but there are other orbits available if you’re prepared to wait longer, including ballistic capture orbits, elliptic transfer orbits, and making use of aero braking (skimming through the high atmosphere) for orbital capture.

As for the return journey, it’s unlikely that many of the initial rockets will be coming back. Return journeys will likely be limited to passenger rockets. There won’t be much else to bring back until there is sufficient infrastructure on Mars.
Tucker Carlson claims he was contacted by US intelligence asking him to call off a planned interview with Putin that he had only discussed over Signal, although that could presumably have been achieved by a keylogger or spyware without compromising Signal itself.
"When implemented and used correctly" is key though. The thing with these things is that all it takes is one short lapse and you can be 100% compromised (not just that one message). People get sleepy, are in a hurry, misunderstand something, can be fooled, or are just plain idiots. And you're never quite sure what the capabilities of your enemy are.

Person-to-person on the other hand is simple, easy to understand, and while not entirely foolproof (or idiot-proof), it's a lot harder to screw up and when you do, the damage capabilities are more likely to be more limited. I'm also going to guess that Israel has a rather hard time recruiting supergrasses among Hamas/Gaza population after the last 15 years (which is different from the IRA, which was thoroughly infiltrated).
>Sure Hamas, with the help of the media framing of this as a 9/11

By what possible metric was it not a 9/11-magnitude event? Proportionally, on a per-capita basis, this attack was to Israel the equivalent of killing 50,000 people out of the US' much larger population. And one in ten people in the US personally knew someone that was killed or wounded on 9/11. Almost certainly far higher, in Israel.

And the videos of people's parents, children, grandchildren being murdered were posted on social media by the perpetrators themselves.

Comparisons to 9/11 are certainly not "played up". The opposite, if anything.

If the Palestinians had the same war machinery as the Israelis, do you think they’d be mindful of the ratios, or would they carry out their claims of erasing it and its population from the geography of the region?

I believe if they could the Hamas leadership would not only want to destroy the Israeli military and any collateral civilians but would, if they could also destroy all civilians.

Also realize many Palestinian civilians are victims of their own government who intentionally use them as human shields.
Is “wanting evidence for constant silver bullet claims that never actually pan out” really “obviously biased”?

Exactly lol. Not sure why everyone is taking the contribution of lean in finding the error so seriously.

I would be more impressed when some mathematician finds a more severe error in their proofs with the help of theorem provers (meaning a mistake in their own intuition).
> That is genocidal language where you are holding civilians accountable.

The entire situation is deeply regrettable and it's hard to find any heroes here, but I feel like we forget our own history so easily.

The United States, within living memory, conducted a firebombing campaign of Dresden, which had limited military value, killing over 25,000. We interned over 100,000 of our own citizens of Japanese ancestry. We conducted a firebombing campaign of Tokyo, killing around 100,000 civilians and leaving over a million homeless.

And of course we dropped two atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing mostly civilians and causing deep scarring both psychological and physiological for the survivors.

The reality is that these rules of war are more like guidelines. There is no one to enforce them if you win. When a nation feels existentially threatened, the gloves tend to come off.

I don't seek to excuse anything, what is happening is a tragedy and as a matter of public policy there needs to be more diplomatic costs associated with unnecessary loss of civilian life. But there are not many countries that truly occupy a moral high ground in this regard.
