As a CEO of a railway company, not sure I'd want folks to patch the binaries on my trains. Pretty sure an insurance company wouldn't like that in case shit happens.

Rather, the companies with botched trains should demand from Newag to remove their locks, for free, and on the side sue them.

True. I'm just observing all this wishful thinking and imagining the future me reading the headlines in say 12 to 18 months. This stuff is literal gold for contrarians like me.
Thanks again for making serious contributions.

> Ras Al-Naqurah, I think, is Rosh HaNikra [1], the current northern border of Israel. Umm Al-Rashrash is now Eilat [2], the southernmost Israeli city. For me, both were the first google links.

If that's true (as expected), then IMHO the Hamas document effectively calls for driving Jews out of Israel. I expect that if they got their "formula for national consensus", essentially the two-state solution, they'd still aim for the bigger goal.

> Would you use a slogan actively used by some racist organization to call for white supremacy because it also meant something else you believe in?

Good point; I wouldn't (and I don't say that). Though the slogan could be appropriated by Hamas for that reason. We see that plenty these days and this is an extremely politicized issue.

> I don't see how else you can possibly defend yourself from armed people killing your citizens in their homes. Again, this specific call happened while Hamas was still killing Israelis in Israel.

Again, that doesn't seem genuine. You can't think of any other way? I'm sure the Netanyahu government discussed other ways. Almost everyone in the world can think of other ways.

Focusing on one specific statement (and citing an WSJ opinion piece!) also sounds like a call to outrage, not reason. Don't trust WSJ opinion pieces: They always end the same way, which tells you they will say anything to reach that end. Contrast the NYT op-ed page, which has opinions across the spectrum (with the major exception that the conservatives abandoned Trump). Don't trust any opinion pieces - they are all liars, on all sides, is my strong opinion.
As with any system, it is just a matter of time before loopholes are found and exploited.
Every injustice is homomorphic to the Israel-Palestine crisis. Ergo, people will use their opinion about the crisis as a proxy for their own politics.

In much of the west[0], you're pro-Israel because fuck Nazis - NEVER AGAIN. In America, you're pro-Israel if you're Republican, pro-Palestine if you're Democrat, or pro-Israel if you're Democrat. If you're anti-colonial, you're pro-Palestine. In Ireland, you're pro-Palestine because fuck England, or you're pro-Israel because fuck Irish nationalism. If you're Muslim, you're pro-Palestine because Zionism is an existential threat to you[1]. If you're an Islamofascist you're very pro-Palestine, if you're a Christofascist you're very pro-Israel. They're just labels you stick on yourself to signal virtue.

This is, of course, terrible for actually discussing the Israel-Palestine conflict, because anything you say about it gets a bunch of mutually contradictory political positions tacked onto it. It's especially difficult to delivering nuanced takes like "Israel and Palestine both have a lot to answer for and we'd be way closer to an actual peace agreement if every politician in both countries dropped dead tomorrow[2]", because I just stepped on like five different rhetorical landmines with that one sentence.

The homomorphism is also bijective: those political labels you're being slapped with get colored with the side of the conflict they're associated with. The most obvious example being Nazi Germany, whose war crimes and crimes against humanity are viewed through the pro-Israel lens. We talk a lot of the 6 million dead Jews but not so much of Hitler's political opponents, Soviet PoWs, black people, gay people, the Roma[3], Jehovah's Witnesses[4], Freemasons, ethnic Poles, Slovenis, and Slavs, and the mentally ill[5]. That's another 11 million victims that we just... don't even think of as victims of the Holocaust. That's how much we link everything to this one crisis.

[0] Japan inclusive

[1] Or at least this was the case in the 1970s

[2] Ok, maybe this doesn't sound nuanced to you. That's the standard of debate here... :/

Sure, it might seem appealing to do this now, but had this existed 20 years ago the convenience and pros of the Apple ecosystem wouldn't exist. You don't get the hardware+software experience that Apple provides. You'd get stuff like handoff (such as the handoff to Homepod functionality where you tap your phone to the top of it) maybe 10 years later when enough people finally get together to make a standard for it. Apple Silicon and the Rosetta translation layer never happens.

I always felt that was a design flaw of UNIX. Programs accept command line parameters and environment variables as input, but all they output for their calling program is an integer exit code. It's not like exit(II) has an argv and an argc. GUI programs that call command line programs thus tend to be nearly blind to what the called program did. You can't treat command line programs as subroutines.

I know why it worked that way in Research Unix for the PDP-11. It's a property of the hokey trick used to make fork(II) work on tiny machines. It didn't have to stay that way for four decades.

This is blatantly ignoring the partitioning of the West Bank and the numerous illegal settlements within it. It is also ignoring the very real military campaigns inside Gaza in 2008-9, 2012, 2014, and 2021. It is also ignoring the blockade Israel imposes on Gaza from land, sea and air (including a border wall a la Berlin).
> Clearly it's not as simple or cheap as "zero cost"

It really is! To leave a union you just leave. You'll miss out on some perks like topping up your unemployment insurance though.

> Whether you benefit from something is irrelevant to whether it's "forced" or not.

You can get most of the perks without being a member, because membership is anonymous within companies and unions have argued that everyone receives the benefits due to this! So you can have most of the perks of a union without paying "taxes", but I think it's fair to chip into the pot.
There are about 1.8 Billion Muslims on planet earth. There are about 15 Million Jews on the planet. There are about 120 Muslims for every Jewish person. In Israel there are about 7 million Jews. The anti Israel propaganda and blatant lies on social media is sickening. To someone who knows what's on the ground, reading countless 100% false posts from many (not all!) Muslims and Palestinian supporters is downright scary. Israelis (including myself) try to educate people about who is who and what's right and what is false. This article that singles out Israel for trying to provide its (true) version of reality and facts as nefarious-is misguided to be polite.

> (now ironically named) lingua franca

The original language which was actually called wasn’t really French it was a creole/pidgin language used in the Mediterranean mainly based on Italian and Occitan dialects.

Greeks and others just called all Western European Franks even though they didn’t really interact with people who actually spoke French (only used in the Northern half of modern France back then) that much.
I don't support how civilians are being treated in Palestine whatsoever, but:

>while condemning the massacre of civilians under the orders of Likud (and other far right parties)

When has Likud ordered massacres of civilians? Or when has any modern Israeli party? I also don't believe Likud is considered far-right in Israel; just "right". There are parties far to the right of them. Not that that's necessarily a good thing, but it's a relative designation.

I've noticed quite a bit of propaganda which is intentionally conflating these two pairs. That is, those who are advocating for Gazans are referred to as Hamas supporters and those advocating on behalf of Israeli citizens are accused of supporting genocide, etc. This is done to polarize both groups, encourage strongly negative emotional reactions, and prevent anyone from taking a more reasonable perspective to address issues on both sides of this complex situation.
I don’t really understand what you are arguing for or against, but I think we are diverging from the main subject anyways, so let’s agree to disagree - whatever it is.

I find this a bit confusing though. It seems like this was an inevitable outcome, but what do they gain from this technical investment aside from exposure. Their website doesn't steer users to anything other than the now cut-off Beeper mini?
Why would you say that? It's clearly not a government agency. It is a company.

It's not something one can have an opinion on. It is a fact, and an important one for the people working there. Being a government worker comes with certain rights and responsibilities, neither of which is the case here.

But even if it had been a government agency, government workers have the fundamental human right to strike too. There are a few exceptions, and then there are special laws for times of war, but none that are applicable now.
If I use the "terms of art" or I say that I'm really, very experienced in this particular subject, this won't allow me to check whether they are the type of person to rather subscribe to authority or whether they would try to understand the arguments themselves.

An intellectually honest person wouldn't need to know that someone is an expert to be able to understand the arguments of a person in the field that they, themselves are an expert in.

If someone is able to come to good conclusions without using terms of art, I could either be impressed, because they come to it on their own, or otherwise they are also the type of person to not subscribe to authority, and would intentionally bring up ideas using uncommon words, without making it obvious.

Overall these as far as I can understand are either internet or social arguments which are not to work on some common business or otherwise goal, but it's more to understand the character and intelligence of the person, to identify whether they are the type of person that can be trusted to have good faith in those arguments.

At work, or if oriented towards some sort of business goal, I'm going to make sure that what I say or argue will be towards a productive goal for everyone in the group. But if it's for the sake of understanding - like I believe many internet arguments - which I think are actually great that we can anonymously argue with people to gain better understanding are, I think it's important to consider arguments, and even better if they use unusual terms to explain the viewpoint from another perspective - it should be interesting if someone sees things with other terms from a completely other viewpoint - but only if you are actually well understood in the field.

If you get frustrated by this, to me it's not about being a dick, it just implies they are not truly passionate or understanding of the area and may be insecure about it. Because you would only be a "dick" if you are insecure, because being a dick could only work out for you in this scenario if you really don't know the subject as well as you might think.
Covid isolation is a compounding factor as well. Spending two years in social isolation with a precipitous decline in physical activity does quite a number on the body and brain.

The fact that many spent those years glued to dopamine mills like social media, video games, porn, etc. probably doesn't help with the concentration problems either.

What does research in this field look like?
They say they wouldn't be helping the Palestinians, creating yet more permanent refugees and the loss of their land. However, I will say that it's hard to say that the foreign government's choices should outweigh the self-determination of the Palestinians who could actually choose whetehr to leave or stay.

I don't think they care nearly as much as they say they do. I think Hamas doubts it too; one reason for the attack was to stop Arab reconciliation with Israel that may have left Palestinians in the cold.

The idea that they would care seems like a bit of prejudice - Americans and Europeans don't care about every refugee either, no matter where they're from or what they've done, especially these days.

That was the original allegation, yes, but the above article makes that allegation specifically for employees as well.
> No, the majority of the world is against Israel's occupation of the West Bank, and until 2005 when Israel left Gaza, its occupation of Gaza.

I'm not sure what you are opposing. I wrote that majority of the world is against Israel's occupation. And it's not only West Bank, this is map showing all the lands occupied by Israel with timeline https://i.stack.imgur.com/0xM5P.jpg

Maybe (or maybe not) plausible, but I think it's irrelevant, because there's no way a small company like Beeper could beat Apple's lawyers at this game. It will end up bankrupting Beeper long before it would even matter.
For what it’s worth, I downvoted because I think what you wrote is not correct. Apple is not engaged in some large-man vendetta against small phones. They make more money off selling large phones because that’s what most people want and the market of people that want small phones is not profitable enough to serve it.
We've even already seen what the street is like without cars, and it was amazing. The decision to discontinue the car-free days was utterly baffling.
Of course, open standards are part of the answer.

Even if Apple would permit something like Beeper Mini for now, that would not only relieve demand for actual open standards efforts, but also put more people at the mercy of Apple.

(This is not a new idea. For example, every time I see another open source project push people to Discord for support/discussion/community, I make a big sad and disappointed face.)

Reminds me of "Defund the police." Led to people having to constantly explain that they didn't actually mean that police should have zero funds and be abolished. But, except, a lot of people on Twitter countered that they did mean exactly that, and that all cops are bad and they're all racist. :facepalm:
Damn Straight.
These assertions need those quotes around 'nobody' because I work with a bunch of apple device owners across Europe and they certainly do use Apple messages.

At scale yes, signal, telegram and whatsapp are perhaps more significant than the apple ecology and the ratio of android to apple outside the USA and canada probably shows why.
As someone in tech, I think it's awesome they were able to find a way into iMessage.

As an iPhone user, I hate the idea that spammers can now use iMessage, and I'm glad the service was taken down.

Both things can be true at once.

An AV is a waste of system resources unless you're a fool that's easily convinced into opening things you shouldn't.
Yeah, we can use that World War Two general's (Patton?) important-urgent matrix.

Any object (a task to get done eventually) gets assigned a vector of two components: important and urgent. Things that are both important and urgent will be in one corner of the geometric graph visual thingy. Things that are the complete opposite type of that both important and urgent object type are in the opposite corner, which is the corner of the not important and not urgent.

The other two corners (important but not urgent and urgent but not important) beget the need for a measuring system, to make the whole model useful. Maybe encase the vectors in a Gaussian distribution where each object's vector's components are scaled, measuring, representative, or simply numerical values? Like, for example, for a new task to do, add a new object whose vector is 0.5 important and 0.1 urgent.

I don't know what mathematics and analyses this setup will imply. So any mathematician or numbers nerd is invited to help further develop this abstraction.
If the rental value of the land were taxed away (replacing other, less-efficient taxes), the primary beneficiaries would be all those who can't currently afford to own their own home. The market doesn't care if you never intend to rent out the land you live on, it could be rented out and will be priced accordingly. Worse, land values are known to go up, and the market accounts for that too. You aren't just buying something you don't intend to rent out at prices dictated by how much it could be rented out for, you're also paying more for it because everyone else wants to speculate on its value.

Land value taxes attack both of these factors. The rental value is taxed away, and appreciation is also taxed away in the form of higher taxes on more valuable land.

Land owners usually clamor the other way. They want their land value to appreciate, as it does when society progresses, technology advances, and land values remain largely untaxed. As much as I favor it, land value taxation has a self-defeating quality to it. After enactment, land values fall because land ownership would be benefit and obligation in equal measure. Suddenly, every land owner has a direct incentive to get the tax repealed so that their property value can reinflate. It's one of those collective action situations where we can't have nice things because everyone wants what is better for them and worse for everyone.

I'd much rather be taxed for my land usage than my income and spending, and not spend the majority of my working life indebted to a bank because land, one of the necessities of life, is a non-depreciating asset with considerable rental value, prone to speculative bubbles. I would rather be incentivized to use my land well by a tax rate that doesn't care what I do with it, than be punished for development through property taxes that go up if I try to use the land better (not that I could if I wanted to, but restrictive zoning bylaws are a separate problem).

Any transition to LVT would need to be done gradually to prevent our finance/insurance/real-estate-based economy from cratering. This would require collaboration and collective force of will far beyond what our ossified society is actually capable of. It's more than just tax policy, it's the idea that land appreciation belongs to the landlord rather than to the society that caused it. I'm convinced that we would sooner collapse than transform something so fundamental.
I really don't want to give meta any of my business.
Hum, interesting perspective. I did 95% of a masters in CS before leaving to do a startup and while I can see the value of parser generators, there are a LOT of times when it is appropriate, useful, and more performant to write your own simple parser. It's often in my opinion the right thing to to first for simple cases. Clearly you should test it and consider functional requirements, but a stringy protocol with clear delimiters is usually dead simple to parse and depending on your use case you can focus on a subset. If you're writing a language... my advice might be different.
