If the foundations are workable (and they seems to be, though IIRC there is a quotienting construct that's quite ad hoc and that people have complained about), the fact that you can additionally "assume" other things is fairly irrelevant, these are no different than extra axioms.
> They constantly say (understandably) how unhappy they are

Israel actually ranks very high in the happiness index, so they are mostly happy, doesn't mean they don't like to complain about stuff.

> But these days the Israelis have opposed a two-state solution for many years.

Yeah, which makes me sad. But also i believe the younger palestinains have also moved to the right and are less accepting of a two state solution. That's why you need strong leaders on both sides that aren't just pandering to the people, but are willing to go against the public will - and sadly i don't think we will see such leaders in the current generation (and probably not the next one either)

> And the argument is novel in international relations

Not sure it's very novel, israel's recognized international borders are fairly clear, legally there's just dispute over the west bank and some part of the north, but israel proper isn't disputed.

I thought I'd get some better take on the situation here then in the rest of social media but apparently that's difficult to come by. Especially when discussing a 100 years old conflict.

I can't see how any leftist could support Oct 7 events, and call it resistance or freedom fighting in some form. Just for context, if Hamas would have targeted military positions in the attack, then it would have been possible to say they are fighting for some liberation goal. But as this is not the case and they clearly targeted civilians locations like a rave party and villages, it's clear that this was not their goal, but their goal was to inflict terror on Israeli population.

My take is that in this long fought battle both sides made wrongdoings, but we need to be very clear and nuanced about each event. In this case it's clear that Hamas, and I may say that since Hamas is a popular movement, the Palestine public in Gaza in genera, made a grave mistake and now suffer the consequences of that decision as there is very little possibility for Israel to defeat Hamas without causing civilian casualties when they are some embedded within the population.

In this sense President Biden approach makes perfect sense; defeat Hamas with minimal civilian casualties.

The Palestines deserve better, but I think that as long as they stay fixated on the results of the 1948 war, and do not agree to let that stay in the past, there will be no end in sight.
Let’s add a few more 9s to that, just to make it even more realistic.

My feeling is that media controlled by people - like TikTok - tend to be pro-Palestinian, whereas media controlled by institutions tend to be pro-Israeli (with the exception of the majority of ONGs and human right organizations).

The Geekbench results for my phone (3 year old iPhone 12 Mini) do suggest it might actually be better than my 15" 2014 Macbook Pro, which at the time was about the fanciest you could get. Just 6 years of progress! I imagine the latest round of iPhones are even better, particularly if you go for the enormous ones.

But, meanwhile, my Macbook Pro can drive two external displays, as well as having a good size internal display of its own that will still be useful. It's got 2 standard USB ports, for connecting keyboard and mouse. Add USB hub, and you have even more options. It has fans inside, so it can run at full tilt for quite a while before hitting any thermal throttling. 16 GB RAM means it's feasible to run a VM - and, since it's an x64 system, it can be persuaded to run many x64 OSs natively. One example would be Microsoft Windows, which you may have heard of, and which has been ported to x64.

The UX without any extra devices is fine as well. As well as the nice built-in display (which is a good size, and >200 dpi), it also has a solid inbuilt keyboard and a very useable trackpad. For all that I do much prefer a proper setup on a desk with a full-size keyboard and a mouse and a nice set of displays, the UX for general use without any peripherals is quite reasonable.

Also, it has a headphone jack.
If all the externalities are perfectly priced at $100, then that's the value of the chair. At that point the extra $150 you manage to get out of the buyer is just grift, not extra value produced from thin air.
If you think about it, blocking an app and stealing your fire extinguishers are both actions that a person or corporation could theoretically do. Since they are both actions, they are equivalent. Therefore blocking an app, burning down your house, baking a pie, writing a sonnet, doing a backflip are all the same thing.

If an "unsanctioned" client can compromise iMessage security, then there was no actual security other than obscurity.
As very recently made evident, Signal spends a significant amount of money maintaining their phone-number-bound infrastructure, with an entirely plausible, reasonable, user-focused reason for doing so. As a Signal user, and donator, I’m 100% okay with the trade-off they’ve made, and would hate to see it reversed just to appeal to some nerdy pipe-dream for how services should work.
Agree. It shows off their technical chops and gets a lot of press attention and goodwill for their target market of Android users who mostly don’t like Apple.

Apple is blocking 3rd party access to their own services. Google blocking access to messages delivered via an 3rd party isn't at all the same thing. And the optics of it would be incredibly bad for Google.
It happens because there is a $3B annual funding of Israel (which doesn't require a vote!!) which is for weapons-only - consequently most of the funding comes back into the US through defense contractors and lobbying groups like AIPAC. (typical client-state kind of setup which is described more thoroughly in Confessions of an Economic Hitman - freely available on the internet)

These lobbies then reach out to every lever of power and funds Israel friendly politicians (and even ones who are opposed to what Israel does - to neutralize their opposition - google "AIPAC AOC"). These offers of help (carrots) come with threats to primary the politician (sticks) if that politician goes against AIPAC's policies.

The only difference for Israel vs. other client states like Egypt, Japan, etc is the lack of vote required to keep funding going to Israel.
The EU's DMA is supposed to basically do this: break up gatekeepers and closed platforms for user choice.

Not every app needs to be compatible with every other app, though. There is a user base cutoff (and even then there is some room for interpretation) of 45 million users (10% of the EU population)/10k business users.

Negotiations aren't done yet, but it seems iMessage isn't popular enough to meet this cutoff. Alternatives like WhatsApp definitely are, though; I'm pretty sure that's exactly why Facebook is working on cross-platform messaging for WhatsApp: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/10/23866912/whatsapp-cross-p...

This law doesn't just effect chat app developers: it also applies to app stores and other methods of digital gatekeeping.

That being said, Apple argues the app store for its iPads aren't popular enough to cross the threshold (they split up the iOS app store and the iPadOS app store in their statistics), so the impact of these requirements will depend on what specific iDevice you use.

More recently, computers have already automated a huge number of jobs, yet the unemployment rate remains around 3%, proving that people are doing "something". And that something is definitely not doing data copying, manual additions and computations, etc.
Next thing you know, you have to argue with ChatGPT that your reply "substantially contributes to the conversation." An interesting feature, no?

The chatbot may suggest rebuttals, references to past literature, and even offer grammar correction & spellcheck.

The poster could even prime the chatbot per post, asking it to run sentiment analysis, lower its threshold quality, and override settings to welcome certain replies over others.

It's almost like a proof of work, rising to court opinion with a determined stance.

"Successful" replies are added as ongoing correspondence, but solely up to the parent to publish. If left unpublished, further replies are sustained in private dialog.

To attract a diverse audience of readers, even the best contrarian lines of thought need to be included, or one risks forming an echo chamber.

That leaves whether the origin poster even wanted to be persuaded, or is just sharing. Just sharing, no action needed.

You might argue about explicit and implicit, but then...

Israel "ordered" 1.1 million residents of Northern Gaza (Hamas makes up <40,000 people) to flee south due to their bombing of Northern Gaza on October 13.

It then increased bombing of Southern Gaza in the ten days following that evacuation order by eighty five per cent.

That's not "collateral damage".

I don't think any other government in Israel would respond materially differently to Oct 7th. The only response Israel has to this scale of event is to re-occupy Gaza and the only way it can be accomplished without larger casualties on both sides is more or less what is transpiring today. I'm sure there are details that would be different but I don't think the script would be materially different if Likud was not in power. The military plan for re-taking Gaza is from the IDF, not the government. Likud-controlled IDF isn't really a thing, the government gives a target (removing Hamas) and the IDF executes. Any other government would give the same target.

What I would and do blame the current government for is that Oct 7th even happened, the scale, and the immediate response.

EDIT: I also blame the current government for trying to eliminate any possibility of a two state solution and effectively supporting the Hamas rule in Gaza as means of accomplishing that. I can probably blame them for lots more. That said the actual Oct 7th attack is all on Hamas and the response is pretty much the only response you'd have seen from any Israeli government (or anyone else in that position for that matter). We're in a place today that is a different place and we can talk all we want about what other possible places we could be.

I'll agree with you on the west bank policy being a Likud/right-wing policy in general. We can also talk about why the Israeli public is more right wing leaning and the left has all but disappeared.

I think those two groups are really more mutually exclusive than what you're trying to portray. At least to most Israelis they are. Because for most Israelis, when you say "peaceful within 1967 borders", it reads as "kill all the Jews in Israel". Many (most?) Palestinians will also not accept this statement because they consider Israel in the 1967 border to be the Palestinian state. If there was an overlap we wouldn't really be where we are, we'd have peace. I have not met many people who are in this overlap, i.e. they're both "pro-Israel" and "pro-Palestine" in a meaningful way. Most people do not hold nuanced views at all, don't know that much about the conflict, don't really understand what's going on, hold on to simplistic narratives and "windows" they get from the media and social media. For me as an (ex-) Israeli your equating the response of Israel to the Hamas puts you squarely in the anti-Israeli camp. You blank statement "massacre of civilians under the orders of Likud (and other far right parties)" feels like a blood libel. This is just my emotional response to how you phrase things. So that doesn't seem to be an overlap of pro-israeli and pro-palestinian.

> If the idea is that these DNR rules require non-fast-trackable thorough reviews, but dynamically updating them will bypass those thorough reviews, than I am at a lost to understand the logic of treating them as requiring thorough review.

While they solve similar problems, these are different systems with different constraints.

* In order to allow something through the review process without close examination, you need to be sure it will not compromise end users. The block, allow, and allowAllRequests actions are known to present minimal risk to user's web browsing activities. The same cannot be said for redirecting requests or modifying a request's headers.

* Dynamic rule registration logic can be statically analyzed for risk assessment purposes. For example, say you're looking at two extensions that both have dynamic rules. Extension A only dynamically register block rules based on remote configuration. Extension B has <all_urls> and passed an arbitrary JSON object to the updateDynamicRules call. Personally, I'd be very concerned about what Extension B could do at the developer's behest, whether intentionally or if the dev's servers are compromised. IMO Extension B may even cross the line on what store policy permits.

* Expectations for extension's static content are different from an extension's dynamic operations. If an extension has code that explicitly does something nefarious and that passes review, the review process will be raked over the coals by commentators. If an extension's static contents are benign but a developer makes it do something nefarious at runtime, there is more understanding that this behavior may not have been visible to reviewers during the review process.

I'm sure there are more differences worth mentioning, but I need to run.

As a final parting thought, if safe rules and fast track review were already implemented and dynamic rules were being proposed today, I expect we'd be having conversations about whether or not devs should be able to register unsafe dynamic rules. I think there's a realistic possibility that we wouldn't allow it. Or if we did, that this capability would be gated by a new permission with a warning.
Ok heres my thoughtful comment: It doesnt matter what Israel says or does from this point forward, nothing can undo the genocide they have committed.
Let's take a very clear, narrow lens on the issue. Let's also separate Palestinian civilians from those exerting power unto them in Gaza. I say this because any other way is a can of worms.

How did Hamas come into power? What are its goals? What have they promised to do to accomplish those objectives?

Their goals are of malicious intent, and they have demonstrated that they're willing to do anything to accomplish them.

About innocent Palestinians, I understand their fears (at least I hope I do). But, _as of this moment_, focusing the narrative on them and Israel is just a cunning way to further drive a wedge between them, and muddle the waters.

Why? iMessage simply does not have the market share enjoyed by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or Telegram EU-wide. iMessage was temporarily removed from the DMA in September and noises coming out of the commission favour Apple's stance that it is simply not big enough to warrant inclusion as a gatekeeper for messaging apps.
> I don't claim to know the _quality_ of the IDF's efforts to minimize civilian deaths, but I do know that intent matters here. The IDF has attempted (imperfectly of course) to reduce civilian deaths.

What was the IDF's "intent" in ordering 1.1M Northern Gazan residents to flee to "safety" in Southern Gaza, and then spending the next ten days increasing the bombing of Southern Gaza by 85%?

What is the "intent" in "minimizing civilian deaths" by (even before this conflict) routinely turning off Gaza's electricity, often for several days to as much as a week? Or for turning off its fresh water?

I find this dubious. Under any reasonable humanitarian perspective, a Gazan would benefit by immigrating to most other countries.

The Arab nations around Israel (with the sort of exception of Jordan) can't even bother allowing 3rd generation Palestinian descendants to naturalize. In some, such as Lebanon, this not only precludes political rights, but results in all sorts of benefit losses relative to what others born and raised in the country would receive.

That's a pretty strong sign of "not caring" from a humanitarian perspective.

A correctly implemented end-to-end encrypted protocol would be safe for all participating clients.

The only way to break that security is by copying messages outside the protocol in the app itself.

Neither of us knows whether iMessage or Beeper Mini does this. To bring up the possibility is to criticize both apps equally.
