> There aren't settlers in Gaza.

I didn't say the settlement was in Gaza. These things are not as disconnected as you seem to believe.

> There are in West Bank, and in the West Bank those settlers do in fact illegally and immorally force West Bank Palestinians from their land.

And what is exactly being done about this?

> On occasion settlers also murder them.

And what is being done about that?

> But in Gaza the Israeli government forced all the Jews in Gaza to leave when Israel deoccupied Gaza in 2005.

They not only forced them to leave: they also demolished the buildings they left behind.

> Like it or not, Israel can easily get another 10 years or so of relative safely even if Hamas rises again simply by blockading Gaza after a successful military operation to exterminate Hamas.

10 years is nothing and again, this is the sort of thinking that keeps on fueling this conflict: you don't need a solution for 10 years, you need one that actually works. And killing large numbers of people rarely solves problems. If anything history should have taught us that.

> Which is a better outcome for Israel than the status quo, where Hamas will likely conduct another massacre of Israeli's in the near future.

They just might: now what could Israel possibly do to stop that from happening? If the answer is 'nothing' then it's really just a matter of time.

Rabin had the right idea: de-escalate and normalize. All this ego and religion driven talk of supremacy, god given rights and violence has to stop. Realize that Hamas or its future replacement will use what happens today as their most successful recruiting drive ever. The #1 goal should be to stop that recruiting drive, not to deal with Hamas in the present in strictly military terms. But for that to happen Israel would need to address some of its own faults. Fat chance of that happening in the current situation though and so I've already more or less accepted that this conflict will last for another century or so.

This new report from HRW details both Hamas and Israeli war crimes:

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/27/how-does-international-h...

On the Israeli side (but you can read about Hamas in the report above):

"Israel has also engaged in the collective punishment of Gaza’s population through cutting off food, water, electricity, and fuel. This is a war crime, as is willfully blocking humanitarian relief from reaching civilians in need."

"There’s also concern about Israel ordering the displacement of much of Gaza’s civilian population, which is permitted only if required for the civilians’ security or imperative military reasons. The civilian population needs to be able to return as soon as possible - permanent displacement is a crime."

"In addition, the Israeli occupying authorities have committed and continue to commit other international crimes, including with West Bank settlements. If the occupying power transfers any of its civilian population into the occupied territory, either directly or indirectly, it is a war crime."
It is not over but too specialised. Look at other geometry which is more generalised algebraic geometry. Useful for rotation but then what. See my other comment. Matrix and group and algebraic geometry all have its use. Of course q now use in computer game and that is helpful. But specialised.
There is no surprise in not taking journalists as source from a side who murder journalists. But let's keep that aside

- Why does Palestines are restricted from using their own water?

- Why does Israely military rules apply on Palestine?

- How does Palestinian citizens are responsible for the failure of Israely government of precise and targeted attack?

- Why does Israely government including the prime minister dehumanising the Palestinian citizens reminding of exact strategy of Hitlar?

- Why does Israely government not interested in getting their citizens back and take that opportunity for a war ?

Being pushed to the corner and that is a licence to do that horrible things is a dangerous argument, similar argument is used by Hamas. Similar argument was raised by Hitler and he convinced significant part of German population that Jews are evil, and they need to be eliminated for the safety of Germany.

Such arguments bring humanity back to stone age.

The result is the same, and it's the result that is the issue. If potential applicants aren't given consideration because they're not in the network, it doesn't matter that the hiring committee thinks they're innocent, or isn't technically rejecting them.

Whenever someone not wearing a mask is talking to you, you are at high risk. The risk accumulates as long as they continue to talk and you continue to stand there and listen to them. Five seconds after they stop talking, the risk starts to decline quickly (even if you continue to stand where you were when they were talking to you) especially if you are outdoors or in one of the (rare) buildings with good ventilation.

I think the biggest jump between interactive theorem provers like Lean "normal" languages is the "interactive" part: Lean or Coq or the like really work well in a specialized IDE mode where you're editing the file and getting instant feedback about the state of your proof. You might be able to get a Python DSL to work, but there would be a lot of tooling work involved to pipe everything back.

You can write proofs in a non-interactive way, but you're signing yourself up for a lot of tedium.

EDIT: A video showing someone working through some simple stuff. You can obviously do a lot of things "in your head" but having the feedback loop is helpful. Though thinking about it more I don't think this precludes a Python DSL entirely. It would just require some smart design to support this form of interactivity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYFTph2izIs

What I and others in this thread are trying to point out is that the Israeli government's actions might be not as righteous as you're trying to portray. Is this just an attempt to wipe out Hamas or potentially also annexation of territory?

Yes, Hamas is committing atrocities. Yes, Israel is committing atrocities as well.

Both sides have elements that seem to want to drive this conflict ever forward. You end this conflict without a way to control the extremist elements on both sides, and given that Hamas has - successfully, which they shouldn't have been able to do in the first place - attacked Israel and now Israel will respond with even more violence the only thing that will happen is that both sides' fanatics will gain a larger fraction of the population to support them. The opposite is what should be happening and Israel arguably has the strongest position in this conflict and also by far the most to lose.
Definition:

A factoid is a statement based on an assumption—something that has never been confirmed.

News feeds of "factoids" are a thing - and they are verifiably true if framed as such. See my comment above where I give an example of the recommended framing of domain snippets in unbiased intelligence feeds.

No assumptions are made about the veracity of statements by publicly listed statements and such feeds never state that "Today Rio Tinto aquired property X" instead they seperately report

* Today Rio Tinto stated they acquired property X (link to statement)

and

* Today the mineral resources dept. of the Canadian NWT reported a change of ownership in property X to Subsidiary Holdings ABC12 Ltd.

Thank you for your unthinking condescension, factoid is exactly the word I meant.
That feeling when the article is clearly high quality (so upvotes) but few have the expertise to say why (few comments).
Didn't some Australian group manage to prove a simplified kernel?
I don't think that's true and I don't think Israel has a choice. It won't get every single Hamas operative but it can get most of them and leave the rest in hiding. Israel needs to prove that it *can* do that otherwise it won't have the deterrence factor that keeps it safe.

The question is what will fill the void after Israel withdraws. Biden discussed something that sounded a lot like a marshal plan which I hope will help "kill" the Hamas by showing the Palestinians a better way of life and hopefully a Palestinian state.
GOAT: Who Is the Greatest Economist of All Time and Why Does It Matter?
How can Israel force Egypt to do anything? There's a border- on one side Egypt and on the other side Gaza? Israel's not there. What is true is that Israel's agreement is e.g. needed not to bomb that aid so likely that's some of the discussion going on, which is not quite the same thing.

If Egypt allowed, and the UN drove aid trucks in, Israel would not bomb the UN. So aid isn't getting in because Egypt doesn't let it in.

How much water do you think the Hamas has stockpiled in their tunnels for the scenario where they have to continue fighting from there for months? Just asking. How much gas that could be used for desalination? Food? How about asking them to share a little bit with their citizens?

Also please tell me why can't the foreign nationals on the Gazan side leave Gaza into Egypt? Is Israel also preventing them from leaving?

All that said, the civilian population of Gaza should have access to water and should generally be protected as much as possible under the circumstances. I do not support withholding water from them.

This is secondary to the main topic, but:

The externalization of costs onto customers is something I've noticed hard with the pandemic. Going to get medication at the pharmacy while fewer and fewer people worked and hours were closed, and finding out after the pandemic it's shitty still with multiple pharmacy chains having workers walk out and protest these conditions. As a customer - waiting in line for a refill can be endless. Being on hold in a call center, because you won't pay people enough to work your shit jobs, and handle issues locally, meanwhile, the time-cost is externalized on to us in longer wait times.

Workers/Customers lose, somebody's winning, but it ain't us.

(Again, this is NOT the same issue and not a complaint about the main topic).
Don't be intentionally (I hope) obtuse. I'm not saying everyone should get a visa, I'm saying universal human rights should be repected by all governments that supposedly recognized them. Allow or deny the visa, but respect the applicant's dignity.

Privacy is one of those analienable universal human rights recognized by the UN, and demanding to see the social networks of other is infringing it, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. It's not only a faceless government employee(s) probing and ogling your social life, social networks allow private messaging, which becomes non-private after these unreasonable demands.

Don't normalize the erosion of human rights.
> it will mean the end of high-quality free services

Yes, that's true, but that wasn't what killed Rabin. If Rabin had not been murdered I would have put a good chance on the Oslo process becoming ratified and that at least would have established some way of de-escalation. Just like in Northern Ireland: you need goodwill on both sides to make progress, regardless of what happened before.

The fact that both of those conflicts are at the root religious conflicts is probably not a coincidence. Believing Israel can not co-exist with the Palestinian Arabs is as good as bankrupting the state of Israel or accepting eternal conflict, neither of which are good outcomes. This won't last.

For dealing with commercial stuff on random cable standards, a lot of the time I'll get a pigtail and use Wago lever nuts to connect it to a longer cable, so it's easy to swap out stuff and make up whatever cable I need at the moment.

Some people seem to like bananas for quick connections in the lab... but they are so easy to get wrong. A cheap banana plug last I checked was kind of bad.
Historically in 1948 Palestinians left their home and due to ongoing wars were never able to come back. Effectively they lost their home. They're afraid this is happening again.

Yes, that's what I've been reading. Various nations do not want to welcome "temporary refugees" because they feel they've seen this before and it will not be temporary. There will be no going back if that option is accepted.

I have no idea what "should" be done. I'm still trying to understand the situation.

There are deep and bitter roots. All parties to the conflict have grievances and there are no obvious solutions to seemingly anyone, especially not some sort of win-win talking points solutions.

Not all Jews though.

> It’s just too big and most places have too low a population density to make it cost effective.

I hear this all the time and it still makes no sense at all. Population goes where transit allows population to go. Cars resulted in low population density. By getting rid of cars, you get rid of low population density.

As for cost, there is no world in which every person owning an automobile is cheaper than public transit. It's not remotely close. Average cost of private car ownership in the US exceeds 10k a year. That's about 3.4T of private spending, or 14% of GDP. This does not include the cost of roads. A single year of private automobile spending would build 20k miles of high speed rail, even assuming costs were CA HSR high.

I feel like the "low pop density & too big" argument is one of those things that only makes sense if you never consider second-order effects.
I run my bathroom fan for hours after I shower. Drywall is a sponge after all
Used double quotes because neither IDF nor Hamas are declared as terrorist organisation by UN. That doesn't the actions of these organisations though.

If Israel can kill someone in Iran with targeted missile, they are capable of doing the same in Palestine as well. Instead of doing that, they are carpet bombing Palestine, and they are totally aware that only handful of "Hamas" members gets killed in their attack.

They also de-humanise entire Palestinians, not just Hamas stright from Hitlar's playbook and that makes it genocide. It is not a fancy word, it is an unfortunate reality.

Also you are shifting blame of a failed government in Israel to people of Palestine

Historically, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has provided accurate numbers of civilian deaths. Third-party estimates by the UN and NGOs have always matched their numbers within a 10% margin of error.

They did lie about 500 people dying due to a parking lot being blown up, though. It's a stain on their credibility. But how much of a stain? Do we disregard their previous track record because of it?

I mean, it's possible that they see this current moment as judgement day, so they have decided to use up all of their historically built-up goodwill and start lying for info ops purposes, which would be an understandable strategy. On the other hand, the numbers they're giving don't appear unrealistic, and John Kirby has said that the US does not dispute that it's "in the thousands". So some number between 1000 and 7000 appears correct, and I would err more towards 4000-7000.
The limiting factor is money. Plenty of people are down to drive buses. But if you think about it a bus is just a gimped version of a light rail / subway. It holds less people, is less comfortable, more expensive to maintain and operate, and being a bus gives it no benefit at all over rail. The only reason buses exist is because we made some terrible design mistakes with cars.
It's always much easier to work with fully hosted turnkey-ready solutions like Supabase, Planetscale, Neon, or the like. And you get all of their huge benefits. Latency of some ms are hardly an issue for most of the use cases.

we're the people who suffer the consequences of the fraud. if your card gets used fraudulently, you call your bank and get the transactions cancelled, no big deal.

if my website lets a fraudulent transaction through, my processing fees go up. if my website lets more than a couple fraudulent transactions through (or not even necessarily frauddulent, but transactions that the issuing banks classify as high-risk) the credit card companies shut off my ability to process payments and my business shuts down. so yeah, sorry if it inconveniences you, but accepting a payment from some random guy who even slightly matches some fraud characteristics isn't worth risking my business over.

> Yes, Hamas is committing atrocities. Yes, Israel is committing atrocities as well.

NO!

None of that crap. Israel isn't great as a democracy and its current government is the absolute worst possible... It's still not in the "both" camp by a mile.

It is held to a higher standard than the Hamas (as it should) and it is far "cleaner" in its bombing campaign than any recent western country (sure, mostly the USA). This is despite continued Hamas missiles against civilians and their holding of kidnapped children as young as 3 years of age!

> Both sides have elements that seem to want to drive this conflict ever forward.

No. The Hamas attacked. Up to that point Israel was increasing the number of Gazans allowed into Israel for work etc. Moving to relax hostilities. The Hamas has no interest in any movement towards civility or peace. There's literally no choice.

The only way to finish this is to get every single Hamas operative. Otherwise this will happen again. Hopefully this will end up as good for the Palestinians and as part of a road for the moderates among them to rise. That's why Biden has spent a lot of time in Israel talking about the day after the war. That's very important and can be a good thing overall for both sides.
I'm confused about what such applicants hope to gain by this. What's their business model?

And the Social Security Administration has a website where you can verify SS numbers. So what's the play here?
Sorry, but you've just told me that it's OK to kill innocent civilians, including children, by shelling them because you think a terrorist is hiding in their midst but you can't tell me the difference between that and my scenario. I'm either drastically misunderstanding your scenario or I think your moral compass is well out of whack.

And just to be clear, it's not siding with the terrorists or those directly complicit with them to question these methods, just as it wouldn't be siding with criminals to suggest police can't act with impunity.
