It is in the US. Besides the copyright issue, there’s the concept of tortious interference in contract law.

Few percent of transactions for a payment processor means a few billion transactions. Visa on its own processes ~200B transactions a year. That's not a great threshold.

My immediate response to seeing the planes hit the towers was "oh fuck, we're going to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the middle east".

And those wars didn't turn out well.

Justifying this by analogy to 9/11 doesn't cut the way that you think it does.
It's only 'tilting right' because it was so far left that anything back to normalcy is to the right.
I really do not understand how creatures like humans who can understand and plan for things build cities in flood zones, wildfire zones, earthquake zones, below sealevel, etc.

It's not like the death of the sun or heat death of universe where it's a billion years outside of your lifetime, it's going to happen in your lifetime.

The "oh well what can you do" response leads me to believe we aren't going to do a damn thing about runaway climate change.
Or the risks of hospital-acquired infection (maybe his girlfriend considered that). What about effects like if it aches for years afterwards but won't kill him; at what level of ache would that turn from "reminder that I did a good thing" to "damnit"?

Hand transplants are a thing - would he give up his non-dominant hand to someone who lost both of theirs in an accident?

Eye transplants aren't a thing, but if they were, would he give up one to a blind person?

If it was really easy to see the damage (hand) and lose an obvious piece of functionality (eye) it would be much harder to argue with numbers "studies show that most people who lose a hand survive more than 7 years". Would he lose an eye, a hand, a kidney, a lung, a lower leg, a foot of intestine, a chunk of liver, a section of skin, a few litres of blood, if it did more good to someone else than to him?

> "Indeed, OP tries to present a bunch of arithmetic to justify their decision, but admits that it ultimately rested on an emotional gut feeling: "It starts with wanting, just once, do a good thing that will make people like you more instead of less.""

The Last Psychiatrist wrote that you shouldn't need validation from other people, shouldn't want it, and if you do want it - fix that. Doing it hoping you gain some indelible "society values me" token to carry around with you forever so you can use it as a trump card and people will like you more, feeling like you've never done anything good and that you need to to be likeable, doesn't sound much like "altruism: Unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.", does it?

> That's a win for Israel.

You need to get out of the mindset that there is a 'win' to be had here. The only thing that can be achieved is for either side to lose less, winning would require turning back the clock. More massacre is just going to prolong the conflict and ultimately will make it worse, possibly much worse.

> The tens of thousands of Hamas members who planned and carried out the recent massacre are monsters. Simple as that. They need to be thoroughly wiped out.

This is how you spell 'genocide'. To be able to solve this Israel will need to make some concessions that may well be impossible for the hard liners within Israel to accept and likewise the various Arab countries that back Hamas will have to accept that Israel - regardless of the the various historical mistakes - is there to stay.

But neither side is willing to do that and so you can look forward to a lot more blood spilled. The illusion that by perpetrating more violence this can be solved is utterly depressing.
You've lived fortunate lives if you've never experienced mobility or perception issues sufficient to interfere with daily life, even temporarily. Not a single broken leg, black eye, torn ligament, not even a sprained ankle. Never experienced the joy and trails of pregnancy.
That still blows my mind. At some point, a room full of risk-averse engineers all agreed that "rocket crane" is the safest and most practical solution to a problem.

That’s a sure recipe for “faceplant the earth every 2 seconds”.

Your point stands, but I think you are sometimes confusing tort with crime.
> We're not talking mass outflows of Palestinians. We're talking foreign/dual nationals we would just transit through Egypt. Why can't they leave?

I honestly don’t know.

With regard to the blockade it only ended once Biden told Netanyahu he had to stop it. We can keep talking about this but all articles say the same thing.

Apparently there is now Israeli checks of all goods on trucks entering via Egypt. It may be a new development but they are now there on the Egyptian side of the border.
I just submitted the same draft all three times. I might make minor changes based on feedback but generally there wasn't any backlash from teachers for not changing enough things, if your initial draft was already high quality.

1) Pardon me if I’m wrong, but downgrade attacks will be possible for as long as HTTP-non-S is allowed. Browsers could support SSLv2 as long as they treat it as an insecure origin. (This assumes HSTS isn’t used, which definitely isn’t on SSLv2 hosts)

2) This one yes.
It's too abstract.

Person is good at planning for abstract problems, because person controls their income, expenses, and priorities.

People are terrible at planning for abstract problems because it's collective resources and collective solutions requiring agreement from multiple parties who, inherently, have different and often conflicting priorities.

In other words, until the planet crashes and kills a vast, vast majority of us, we are going to carry on like we always have. It's depressing.
Well, I can't delete comments, so I hope explaining them clarifies when they unintentionally are seen as mean. But, point taken.

I assume israel wants to take out equipment, sieze strategic positions, look for hostages.

Like sure people can leave, hamas could leave with them, but then they wont have their big guns and hamas loses the terrain advantage.

Similarly hard to move hostages without being discovered.
Counterpoint: My dad sold a lot of pot in the 80s, and subscribed to High Times Magazine. They had an ad for a board game called "Dealer McDope", and he mailed an order for it with (naturally) cash, and waited. Eventually, he gets a reply in the mail: "No money, no game!" He was pissed.

My mom loves that story.
Air isn’t a great analogy because it’s a public good. There are crucial differences between a digital good and “echoes of a concert” that muddles the latter analogy.
Some humans do, at least. I've read about there being stones in lakes or rivers that basically say "btw if you see this stone, you're as fucked as we were in the year 300AD" or something.

And in Japan there's those old stone marker monuments telling people not to build below them because of tsunamis or floods or something to that effect.

But I mean I guess when it's as desirable property as the SF Bay Area, the fact that you lose the building on it every hundred years or so is a small price to pay?

> It’s acceptable to ... but it's not...

Wrong framing. The parent didn't set it up as a means to filter. In your situation you have a list of applicants that you are filtering. In the parent's scenario they do not yet have applicants, they simply ask their network if there's any suggested candidates which then forms the list that they will filter from.

It's as discriminatory as posting on Linkedin but not on Indeed. The discrimination would come from the counterfactual question of: supposing they posted the job listing to a larger network _and_ supposing a clearly more qualified applicant applied, would that better applicant be turned down due to nepotism. That's the difference. No one is getting upset at family businesses despite almost certainly failing the counterfactual.

> Hamas is a cancer on the Palestinian people.

You are seeing a cause, I'm seeing a symptom.

> Killing civilians while aiming at the Hamas is never "right".

Not only is it not right: it strengthens Hamas and will result in more anti-Israel sentiment in the rest of the world. "Look at what you made me do" doesn't work on that level.

> But letting the Hamas keep going is far worse than the alternative, it will embolden it further and it will kill far more.

Yes, agreed, Hamas should not be allowed to keep going. But for that to happen Israel too will need to make concessions and as long as both sides only think in terms of violence this will simply not stop. The idea that you can get rid of a terrorist organization by killing its members has been refuted many times over. Terrorist organizations disband because their cause has been invalidated and because the individual members lay down their arms. I can't recall a single terrorist organization that was forcibly erased and I'm sure you'll correct me if I am wrong about that. But all of the ones that come to mind over the last 40 years that stopped being active did so because they lost support, not because they were 'wiped out'. You kill a terrorist: another one steps into its place and the cycle will continue. And if you're lucky that's just one.
Your commute happens about 250 days every year. A big earthquake happens maybe once ever 30 years. Buying a house takes 30 years to pay off. There's a limited supply of land; if all the houses in safe zones are taken, it may be worth it to some people to roll the dice on a house with natural hazards that's cheaper yet still close to everything. They're optimizing for the common case.
> indicate they are effectively trying to drive people out and force them to leave and move to other countries

I mean, this is obviously untrue since there is no other country they can go to. Gaza shares a border with only israel and egypt and neither is letting anyone leave (a fucked up situation for the innocents caught in the middle)

I would disagree that Israel is dehumanizing all Palestinians. Examples? I have heard the Hamas referred to as sub-human (I don't recall where). Unfortunately they are very human. De-humanizing is not genocide and genocide is not a reality. What it is is propaganda. But yes, Germans and Hitler did dehumanize the jews to support their genocide.

How did we get to Iran? It's easier for Israeli intelligence to operate in Iran than in Gaza. Iranians generally don't hide behind their citizens or in tunnels (that I've seen). I'm not sure what specifically you're referring to or how it is relevant.

No doubt there's huge swaths of destruction in Gaza. That said the media will show you some drone shots going over and over the same building and not show you some nearby areas that have not been hit. Israel is being somewhat selective, it's not carpet bombing. But yeah, large destruction definitely, partly to remove cover for when its forces go in. It's definitely pretty terrible. Wars are. Have you seen Mariupol?

The government of Israel has plenty of blame. But the blame for the horrific attacks on Israel lies squarely on Hamas.
Anyone can do that in their imagination
All of those things were bombed by other western democracies in past wars.

Maybe Israel lied about this, I don't know. But I do know the Hamas lied about many things. Just now a Hamas representative was interviewed by the BBC claiming they didn't kidnap or target civilians... Wow. The audacity of the lie is staggering.

The symbolic nature of the building doesn't appear to be a lie. Since there were many offices in the building it would make sense the Hamas has some offices there. I don't see that as a huge lie.

> during the war you cannot demolish communication infrastructure, churches, mosques, hospitals, news agency offices, schools, civilian homes, etc. As demonsrated in this war, the first casualty is the truth that paved the way to countless atrocities.

> In any event, can see quite a few differences between the two situations, such as the relative power disparity between the 2 sides in the middle east, the fact that Germany had taken over or was engaged in active hostilities with...most of Europe, etc.

But this is exactly my point. The moral imperative was clear in WWII, but the same pejoratives ("war crimes", etc) would equally apply.

These terms are at best uninteresting and at worst distracting, which is what I'd originally intended to highlight with the quote referring to "genocidal language".
I used to do this, no longer because I don't have the stomach for it, but live cameras were my bread and butter for a long time and some of them were in conflict regions. I found that what I saw with my own eyes wasn't always what was reported in the news.

I am very impressed by SBF. Pure entertainer, no dull moments when he is around. Posesses the right qualities to be US president, he will have my vote for certain.

Only what Israeli press published at the time. I doubt they would pick that as their first major target if it didn't have some connection to the Hamas.

Roark dynamited his own creation because he had no other recourse and was prepared to face the consequences. Musk dynamited something he bought out of foolhardiness and is expending his energy avoiding consequences. Similar in some regard, but different.

I'd put my money on C, almost everything is bootstrapped from it.

That is simply not true. Starship has been built for Mars and Elon has said it himself that making fuel on mars makes it using methane the only option. It's not some exploratory science craft that can live in the luxury of just importing everything from Earth. It's a relatively very cheap, massive water tower free of NASA's hope-ending bloat that is the only current realistic shot at our species being multi-planetary.

Be careful with your logic and framing. I explained why it was poor framing above. But the way you've (and the gp) framed it is dangerous. Swap "voip numbers" for "x skin color" and you're in clear unethical and illegal territory. But swap the attributes of the parent and you don't get this issue. If parent is x race and all their friends are also x race you're not discriminating against y race through their means because they aren't turning down based on race, it is just closer to changing the odds. The problem isn't when you change the odds (unless there's an extreme manipulation) but rather how you respond to samples from the distribution.

A normal camera does not have as great a dynamic range as human vision. However, you can take multiple photographs at different exposure settings and combine the images in software afterwards to achieve the same result as a single photo with a larger dynamic range — that is to say, a high dynamic range (HDR) image.
Currently there's no way to steer it, but I'm thinking about ways I can allow steering the image gen. Maybe just showing the prompt open ai spits out so you can edit it, but I wonder if there are better ways to allow control

When I lived in the US, I primarily used Google Voice, as I could still use it in foreign countries.

When I had asked T-Mobile to enable international roaming on a particular date, they said they would, but then didn't end up doing it, messing up my travel plans because I didn't have Internet when I arrived. Luckily I was in my home country (Australia) where I could speak the language, but it was a foreign city.

I eventually used someone else's phone to speak to a T-Mobile rep and was sent through a credit check, asking me my American social security number. I'm not American, I don't remember off-hand what government ID I was given there. Luckily I happened to have taken my social security card with me on vacation. I told them, if I can afford to travel internationally, you'd probably think I could also afford a phone plan; why am I being put through this bullshit and why can't you just keep your promises?

I find air drivers uncomfortably loud. My children are terrified of them and I cannot blame them. It's the volume but also the nature of the sound that are both rather awful.

I'm no SBF fan by any means, and I think his actions were wrong.

That being said, not knowing anything at the start about the industry you build a company in yields 0 signal about someone's competence. How much did Brian Chesky know about hospitality or marketplaces before starting Airbnb? The Lyft founders about taxis? Zuck or Page/Brin about ads?
Regarding PTSD, don't you think Palestinians are in much worse position? Even if you killed every single Hamas member, relatives of those who are murdered during this genocide will attempt revenge in future right?

Or is starving everyone to death so that there won't be any vengeance is the strategy?

When two neighbours, who genuinely believe that their neighbour will kill them if they get a chance, peace is hard and time consuming task, especially when they have wounds that will take decades to heal.

The least human thing to do there is to stop causing more wounds, as UN secretary general said, Oct 7 wasn't happened from the vaccuum.
i don't think it's a question of social norms. if people were adhering to pre-mcdonalds social norms, they wouldn't be going somewhere besides their house (a restaurant, but one without waiters) and sitting on brightly colored plastic benches eating mechanically separated chicken glued together with modified food starch cut with texturized soy protein

people's appetite is evidently for calories, and they commonly regulate their caloric intake or metabolic rate to within 0.5% in order to maintain their level of obesity. social norms are not capable of that kind of precision

consider, if you gain only 5 kg in ten years, which many obese mcdonalds eaters in the usa do, that's a caloric excess of 5 kcal per day. half a gram of fat per day. that's 0.3% of a metabolic rate of 1666 kcal per day or 0.2% of 2500 kcal/day. if they were to eat 0.3% less calories than they were burning instead of 0.3% more, they'd be losing 5 kg every ten years, not gaining it

so the homeostatic feedback mechanism is almost working. it's clearly not completely broken. its error is well under 1%. but it does evidently have a systematic error across the population. and fast-food optimization for profit by itself is an insufficient explanation for that
