Japan isn’t officially a Japanese country?

Come on mate, thats possibly the most asinine and distasteful argument I have seen on this site.
You don't prove it, the other party proves it to the judge by their inept case.

I think limits should be placed even on this, as poorer people are more likely to have a bad case as a plaintiff as they can only afford to personally represent themselves.

For those representing themselves it should start coming up a bit before they'd be declared a vexatious litigant. For those represented by an attorney, it should probably be the attorney paying the fee for wasting the other party's time and money.
Hello there, a Palestinian from the west bank here speaking, let me tell you something, our resistance has nothing to do with Israel being a Jewish state, if my brother stole my house and killed my children i will fight him just the same, and you would too and everyone else (I assume). jewish, muslim, christian, vegan.. doesn't matter.

Now Hamas does play on the string of religion to get to people, and so does Israel (isn't it the promised land after all?).. but the main goal is to free the people from the oppressive occupation!

and when we chant "From the river to the sea" we don't mean to kill anyone! if we can be free and live together, but have dignity and human rights, so be it!

and like Bassem Youssef said, let's imagine a world where Hamas doesn't exist, and let's call it for example the west bank. how do you justify what's happening there and the settlements expansion?
> Supporting Hamas ... is anti-semitic

> https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up...

Then the Times of Israel is on the record with articles accusing Netanyahu of being anti-semitic. I don't think those things you list are anti-semitic - they just happen to be politically bad for Jews right now. There is a difference (an important one) between policies-bad-for-a-group and being motivated by an unreasonable hatred of a group.

I agree with your post, but do want to point out that adults can acquire ADHD from brain injuries etc.
There are people PUTTING out fires nonstop in many apps we all use.

I have been writing code for almost a decade now, and still make errors. I don't believe anyone is capable of producing bug free software.

I have also seen plenty of bugs in apps and games. I don't think I have ever witnessed a major game patch that was bug free.
I worked with programmers around my junior year and some of them were in classes I was in. I thought they were all playing one-upsmanship when I heard how little time they were spending on homework. 90 minutes, sometimes an hour.

I was a lot faster than my roommate, and after I turned in my homework I’d help him debug (not solve) his. Then I was helping other people. They really did not get debugging. Definitely felt like a missing class. But it helped me out with mentoring later on. When giving people the answer can get you expelled, you have to get pretty good at asking leading questions.

Then I got a real job, and within a semester I was down below 2 hours. We just needed more practice, and lots of it.
I'm on a 4 dev team (one of many). 3 of us commit to only do what we are pretty sure we can do. One of our team commits to way more than they should. Guess which of us is always carrying over stories and whose new functionality creates new bugs ever sprint? They never can wrap stuff up completely, they are like a tar ball of chaos. Unfortunately they are supposed to be our tech lead so all we can do is shake our head and watch.
Clips of bodies being buried in mass graves, of corpses with maggot-infested wounds, of limbs scattered in shopping bags, of children screaming in terror as their city blocks gets bombed, or of soldiers stripping civilians naked are not "pro-Palestinian" per se. But they show the terrible brutality of this "war". That may cause people with some empathy and with hearts not cold as stone to demand an end to the terror. That is "pro-Human" not "pro-Palestinian".
That repeats the claim - I'm aware of it from the GGP comment and of course from other public discussion. What I'm looking for is evidence of the claim from reliable sources.
The US was extremely late to offering any kind of safe haven to Jews. Even when it did, it was a single town in upstate NY.

Only about a thousand jewish refugees were let into the United States.

That is what this post chain is about. The nuance between choosing to store your JSON as a string in a TEXT column or as JSONB in a BLOB column.
To a first approximation, software developers don't have masters degrees. If you are thinking about changing how an industry does its work, focusing on graduate courses seems counterproductive.
Many in the US government have been critical of Israel’s strategy in the last week or so (Lloyd Austin, etc).

The IDF HQ is in a heavily populated part of Tel Aviv. If a country dropped an enormous bomb on it which flattened nearby civilian homes and populations, would it be okay because the IDF is "hiding" among civilians? The IDF also literally used human shields until 2005 when it was banned (and a bit more afterwards trying not to get caught), so is it okay to kill ~20000 Israeli civilians as a result of that?

" The question is, what is so special about the Israeli/Palestine conflict that leads to these outsized protests? "

- Jerusalem (and more globally Israel and Palestine) is holly for Jews, Muslims and Christians ; more than half of the word population and more than 90% of US population

- Israel is a key ally of the USA, and this is a topic important in US politics for long time - including for some evangelical voters for religious question

- Westerners have colonized (or inflicted violence to) most of the non western countries on this planet in "recent" history... Israel is seen by some as a Western country colonizing just another developing country, with support of other western countries... echoing recent history for many. It is as such a symbol for a long time.

- USA, France... have had some big Islamist attack, what happened in Israel echoed to this for some people... and echoes to the clash of civilization western word vs Muslim which is central in the ideology of a growing number of westerners

- It is easier to understand, more divisive, with more people or causes we can identify with, than in Syria (everybody hates ISIS) or Yemen (arabs fighting arabs fighting other arabs in a desert ?)... And we have more images
It could just be capped at the lower of what the two legal teams charge. Both should have to submit their bills to the court, whichever charged less is the cap on what the loser has to pay for the other party's legal fees. That way each party is at most on the hook for twice what they paid their own legal team, assuming no other damages or penalties.
So how do you determine if someone is in possession of non consensual nude pictures? We as a society properly assume that all underage nudity is non consensual because children can’t legally give consent to nice pictures

Are you asking that same question to everything coming out of Israel? Or everything coming out of Ukraine?
This sounds like a good thing though. The high price makes squatting unviable so domains are left unregistered and available for someone who will actually use them.

A platform with a proprietary algorithm which ranks and boosts content does not get the benefit of doubt.

They are per se responsible for what people see. If pro-Palestinian views are on TikTok at 36:1, that's what TikTok wants, they could easily promote content at a different ratio.
No one threw the Jews into Israel. The Balfour Declaration was the result of decades of Zionist lobbying.

Zionism is a very complex topic, and some elements seem quite murky.

But I certainly agree with your final point. Ignoring the religious angle, in terms of political dynamics this seems to be a fairly straightforward case of extremist nationalism.

While that is definitely true and an important distinction, I will say that unfortunately all too often as discussions on the topic deepen there's a troubling correlation between the most vocal voices engaged in criticizing Israel and legit antisemitism views creeping in.

Which isn't a one sided phenomenon. The reverse is true as well, where often the most vocal voices rationalizing Israel's actions and behavior around civilian casualties often have anti-Muslim perspectives crop up as back and forth conversation goes on.

One of the litmus tests I've noticed is the capacity to acknowledge and condemn the civilian suffering of both sides. The commenters who recognize and condemn both the Oct 7th terrorist attack and the targeting or indiscriminate killing of civilians in the response to it tend to be rational and level headed driven by humanitarian concerns.

Those who only recognize the suffering of one side and dismiss, dehumanize, or rationalize the suffering of the other side - or worst of all propagandize the denial of it's occurrence or scope - tend to quickly fall into revealing rather abhorrent views with a mere scratching of the surface.

Not everyone who criticizes Israel is antisemitic nor everyone who criticizes Hamas is anti-Muslim, but many who are antisemitic or anti-Muslim seem keen to defend their respective side of the conflict quite emphatically and unilaterally.
They do have the right to decide if they accept refugees, but the justification is inconsistent and odd. Do the countries accepting refugees from Ukraine support ethnic cleansing there? Or same for any other conflict?

There also a similar weird gulf between the shouts about 'genocide' and the refusal to allow any to escape. Someone who truly believes that should always allow for refugees. I guess most people making these claims don't really believe them and except Israel to maintain reasonable-enough treatment.
I understand the claim about that interpretation. Repeating it doesn't help; we got it. If you know of evidence that that's the understanding among Palestinians, that would be great.

Poor Things Is a Curious Phantasmagoria
business people need to be able to make decisions and they do that based upon timelines.

If you're a small to midsized company these decisions have larger effects on the overall health of the company.

I've seen too many instances of technical people abusing business ignorance of technical details. Most of _my_ experience has been business people trying really hard to work with the technical groups, but the technical groups just don't want to be held to any timelines whatsoever.

You can't have that in the business world. That doesn't mean all deadlines are hard, but if there isn't some timeline then business decisions may as well be made by throwing darts at the wall.

There is a pretty fascinating correlation here between growth rate and susceptibility to mortality from the fungal infection. Remove the toxicity of oxalic acid and suddenly growth rate reduces. Obviously there’s a ton of variables but, oversimplifying, it almost seems like a deal with the devil: increase growth rates but at the cost of increased mortality to the blight.
One statement is from the perspective of owning X. The other is presumably from the hypothetical perspective of being an owner of Disney. They aren't really contradictory. If you watched the actual interview, it's clear he believes Disney is dooming itself with it's current culture war trajectory (agreeing with this is another question). This is why he thinks Iger should be fired, not because X is entitled to some sort of privileged status is being used for advertising.

It is a "loaded" question in the sense that it's good to see that a member of the tech oligopoly has a big miss like this one, on that you're right.
The literal answer is that I would resign and move to another country. Given that I've moved to another country a few times already, I'm fairly sure I would do that in the situation you describe.

Answering more to the spirit of the question: I believe that the situation between Israel and Palestinians is broken and can't be fixed until something unexpected happens. Neither side has an acceptable way forward.

As a rule of thumb, people who talk about right and wrong don't want peace. Those concepts are far more useful for justifying wars than ending them. Peace is achieved by compromises that make both parties lose interest in the war. There was a genuine desire for peace in the 90s, but it failed, because nobody could find an acceptable compromise. The leaders of both parties realized that the sacrifices required to make the compromise acceptable to the other side were worse than status quo.
Suppose they are both true, what does this imply? That it's fair to suspect people of racism because someone else hypothetically uses an excuse?
I think I agree with that. Which is the PA should be boosted and rewarded with increased freedom and autonomy as a counter example to Gaza. As it stands right now Israel is almost rewarding being more intransigent.
The comment said

> Japan isn't an officially Shinto state

You are just misquoting the comment
Israel has a secret* agreement with Egypt which it made Egypt sign as a condition for not occupying the border between Gaza and Egypt, which stipulates what Egypt can and can't let through the border.

*The existence of the agreement is not secret, but the contents are.
Capital gains are taxed like ordinary income, except long-term capital gains, which have lower rates because we as a society decided that it's overall beneficial to encourage investment into productive capacity. You could argue that maybe that's wrong, but plenty of thought did go into it through the legislative process.

> income (work) is taxed higher than money sitting in accounts, doing nothing

It's not money just sitting in accounts. It's just the paper value of the stock that Pichai or whoever owns, which ultimately is a fractional share of Google the company, which presumably is engaging in productive enterprise[0]. And stock grants are taxed; you definitely can't dodge the tax man that easily.

[0]: Now, you could definitely argue that the value that Google provides to the world is less than what its market capitalization would indicate, and I certainly have a sympathetic view to that. But it's individual market participants that decide what that value is.

According to current knowledge, the r-process can produce atoms with an atomic mass of at MOST 260, i.e. mainly up to fermium 257.

Moreover, the nuclides with atomic mass close to 260, i.e. isotopes of einsteinium and fermium, would be produced in relatively small quantities in comparison with lighter elements.

Exceeding 260 is highly improbable because such nuclei fission spontaneously extremely quickly, in milliseconds or microseconds, so the neutron flux would need to be much more intense than in nuclear explosions in order to produce a non-negligible equilibrium concentration.

Most elements that are heavier than plutonium would decay before the materials containing them could aggregate into a planet (which may take at least a few million years). When the planets of the Solar System have formed, they probably still contained significant quantities of plutonium and neptunium, but then they have decayed quickly, leaving uranium as the heaviest surviving primordial element.

While there might exist an island of stability for super-heavy nuclei of elements beyond any of those that have been synthesized artificially by ion collisions, for now there is no known natural process that could produce them in measurable quantities. By "stability" it is meant that the super-heavy elements might have lifetimes measured in years instead of milliseconds, not that they could be as stable as the already not very stable uranium or plutonium.

1) thats politically a dead end,

nobody will immediately make friends after a massacre and mass rape. Especially after decades of tensions and double especially when the muslim world once descended on Israel at once.

2) Quiet reminder that there are 1B followers of Islam and there has always been a wish (especially from Iran) to end the existence of Israel: the Palestinian people are unfortunately a pawn in that game. - Winning over the palestinians wont actually win you over anything. Instead you will have terrorist attacks by “palestinians” until the tensions are stoked again.

I'm not trying to deflect, but I do find it interesting that just 2 months ago, >100K Armenians were permanently displaced from their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh where they've lived for literally millenia, and I saw essentially no coverage of this in Western media (in contrast, it was all over Russian media, possibly because Armenia is a historical ally of Russia and a lot of Russians are frustrated that Russia and the CSTO did basically nothing to prevent this ethnic cleansing). The Armenian-American community is rather large (>500K) but apparently nowhere near as influential as the Jewish-American community.

There are many other recent instances of ethnic cleansing that nobody seems to care about. The number of ethnic Germans who were permanently expelled from their homes in Europe and the USSR (at about the same time as Palestinians) exceeds the number of Palestinian refugees by more than an order of magnitude (10-12M, with at least 500K dead), making it the largest ethnic cleansing in modern history, but this episode is basically forgotten (presumably because sympathy for Germans was rather scarce after WW2). The hundreds of thousands of Turks and Greeks who were mutually expelled from their homes after WW2 will never get to return either. Nor will all the ethnic minorities in the former Yugoslavia who were "cleansed" from their historic homelands. So my question is, given that ethnic cleansings are not uncommon in the recent past, and that the Palestinian Nakba is not even close to the worst case, why is it basically the only one that anyone seems to care about?
It's reasonable to expect small improvements in the risk profile, but I think blood cancer is going to be a side effect for any drug following this basic idea. You will always need some chemo to destroy the defective blood-making stem cells before replacing them with the genetically-modified blood-making stem cells, and any chemo that is strong enough to kill all of the blood-making stem cells in your body is necessarily going to have a risk of damaging healthy cells and turning them into pre-cancer cells. So the risk can be reduced but probably not eliminated.

The parent was suggesting that there is a jewish religion and a jewish race and that the race is the qualifier not the religion.

Nope. Hamas killed them by designing gaza in such a way as to maximize collateral.

Oh neat, I came across BuildJet the other day.

I was trying to cross-compile a side project (https://github.com/marcus-crane/october) for Linux arm64 but trying to do so would throw up some instruction set errors.

I had parted the idea of supporting Linux arm since Github has no runners but I threw in BuildJet and it spat out a working build with no problems!

Given it only needs to run on release, for a small open source project, being charged something like 1 cent per build is surprisingly reasonable compared to having no runner at all / having to spin up a self-hosted runner :)
If they offered Graphene or Lineage on it, I'd be much more excited.
