>The Jews has been living there for 2000+ years.

No, the area currently named Israel had not been a jewish state in centuries when the British occupiers gave it to a new set of jewish colonizers of what was an occupied Arab state.

The jewish population of the area label Israel was less than 10% jewish until 1910 or so (after Britain had control and started encouraging colonization before explicitly assigning it to a specific group of Jews). At that point a mass colonization was started. To claim that because "jews have always lived there" means that 10s to 100s of thousands of immigrants moving to an area in which they had not lived in generations are not colonizers is patently false. Especially when the people migrating to the area are the group that have all the financial, military, and political power.

> Now neither the Israelis nor Palestinians believe in a two state solution

you mean the two groups in an apartheid state do not believe that they have equal rights? Remember again, fundamentally the two state solution is "you were colonized, and should be happy to lose half your country". In terms of peace it's probably the only path forward, but don't pretend the victims of colonization should be happy with that outcome.

I pirated it too back then, and bought two copies years later. Sent them an email when I did so and got this reply from Ron Carmel almost exactly 10 years ago (2013-12-18):

I wonder if this is some kind of regional issue. I also bought this version(about 10 years ago?) and was able to reinstall it and play just fine directly from the link you posted.

EDIT: Looks like it doesn't scale correctly though, and I get a warning that the game doesn't support my version of Android! What a shame.

It's not like this at all. People aren't having kids in all developed nations, east or west, and also in developing nations as they become more developed, the birthrate falls dramatically. It's not "anti-natal government policy", it's various other factors: cost of living, expectations of how much resources/attention will be devoted to each kid, women's rights, etc.

China's one-child policy is long since over, but their birthrate is very low too. Government policy isn't the problem (if it's even a "problem"). People just don't want to have big families, and now that they have a choice, they don't.

It needs the original record, or something close to it (it can recognise some live versions at a different speed, maybe cover versions). The Google app on iOS or android has a thing where you can hum a melody so that might be better.

It's not the whole truth though, it's thanks to associations like La Quadrature du Net https://www.laquadrature.net/ that they had to share their algorithm.

It also shows a bias towards single familly with low income, adding pressure to families already in state of precarity. It doesn't mean it's intentional but it is still an issue.

The fact that there are no proper audit of those algorithms before allowing those to be used looks quite bad in my opinion. This can be quite impactful on people's life.
Don’t people just bulk qualify the dialogue, e.g. “I don’t remember the exact words. Tom said … then Dick replied … something like that”.

Often we don’t quote people and instead provide a high level description of what they said, e.g. “Harry described the problems with his car.”, where detail is omitted.
Thats the spirit! You also got a very cool story from it!
“Worth” could be interpreted broadly - not necessarily putting a figure on it. Perhaps there were covetous men who would desire the mithril more than they would desire ownership of a large plot of land.

"By him taking the position that he took in quite a public manner, we just felt that the association with that position, and with Elon Musk, and X was not necessarily a positive one for us and we decided we would pull our advertising."

This is in reference Musk's 'anti-Semitic' tweet. So instead of just voting with his wallet, Bob has turned it into a virtue flex, which would also be fine if they weren't actively supporting other platforms that are known to be far worse. (And that's ignoring Meta's issues with child abuse)
The kernel simply has too much code in it and too wide of a boundary to consider a good security boundary. VMs have a much smaller surface by comparison. I don't think reaching for a VM would be necessary if you had a smaller kernel.

> fix education so people can start their careers and adulthood earlier

People can only learn so quickly; you're not going to give people a college-level education by age 15. Modern society requires more education to be productive than past societies, but this is at odds with human biology.

> pass safe harbor laws so that parents and feel safe leaving their kids at home, or letting them take the bus

This is only a problem in the US, but birthrates are low in all developed nations.

Some economic incentives might help a bit, but they're not going to have a dramatic effect: people simply don't want to have big families any more. Kids are a lot of work (and expensive, even with those incentives), so people like to have 1 or 2 and concentrate all their attention on those. They don't want 6 kids.
Not obvious at all, my friend, or at least not to me.

Part of the reason is that every time the desktop environment starts to get good, they ditch everything about it for another product cycle. So everything you do is mired in keeping up with the underlying bits that just can't stay still long enough to be stable.

Microsoft is seriously guilty of this (Windows servers could stay up for a lot longer when it was VMS underneath), but so is Apple (remember the single-purpose graphical Widgets that were one button away at all times?), and even Linux (I'm a career Linux user, so I could go on much too long for this one. I stick to the simple "light" desktops to stop getting jerked around with needless change and abandonment so much! Remember when you could hit ctrl-+ and ctrl-- to change the screen resolution? Remember when you could use all your screen memory, so your virtual screen was square, and you could use your mouse to navigate the hidden parts of your 1024x1024 (or whatever) virtual screen? Oh, I really could go on...).

Programming languages often deal with exactly the same problem.

Nobody can seem to notice when it's time to say stop and improve on what you have, instead of abandoning it and doing something from scratch yet again.

Oranges and Tamales are not at the whim of people deciding every product cycle has to start from scratch, or force you to update your snacks and other recipes around them constantly.
Thanks for the response. I will look into it.
Putting the oil industry in charge of a climate conference was obviously one of the dumbest things to do.

It also gives off a signal that things are not so serious. I'm sure some people got some well filled envelopes for this but for the climate it's a bad thing and it invalidates the whole conference.
From what I can tell, it's because the original game was not updated for newer versions of Android. I went to the Play Store, switched to my older Google account, and found it in "manage apps" by switching to "not installed", selecting the "games" filter, and scrolling to the bottom, where World of Goo (the original) says "not available for device". Tapping it shows the listing, where it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version"

Google Play used to show when an app was last updated. This appears to longer be the case. However a reviewer says it has been "abandoned since 2013", which explains why Google Play won't let me play it on a Pixel 6a, with an Android version 10 years newer.

Android just doesn't have the backwards compatibility of Windows or Linux.

My understanding is that bacteria that cause gingivitis thrive in a different pH level than the ones that cause cavities. I have no cavities but I am in a constant battle with gum disease. I don't think this specific strain will help us, but it can obviously lead the way.

Anecdote time: My great grandmother lived to be 102 and never had a cavity. Kept all her teeth to the end.

One time, an orderly who thought she was just being senile tried to reach into her mouth to take out her teeth (thinking she had dentures). My great grandmother bit that person; hope they learned not all old people are senile!

I’m 40% of the way there. No cavities and rave reviews from my dentist. I brush—-best case —-once a day.

Indeed, motors are physical devices with their own imperfections. But … these are brushless motors, tightly controlled with a feedback loop. They, as they also say in their videos, very quickly follow input changes. I wonder how much weird effects you might hear on those.

>> An expense is always someone else’s profit. All inflation, all prices, everywhere, is the result of someone putting up their prices, trying to make as much money as they can.

Not true. For example, the current restrictions on the Panama Canal are increasing shipping costs because ships have to wait longer or go round Cape Horn. Its more expensive either way.

No. There's no need to flex anything. All he's done is distance Disney from the bad smell around Musk and Twitter.

If that's all Bob Iger needs to do to make Disney look better (or at least avoid looking worse) then maybe Musk should have a think about getting himself under control.

I really really hope FairPhone has a plan to start making their phones upgradable. They gave us a taste of it with the 3T. The FP5 is so similar to the FP4. I imagine they will eventually be able to estabilize the design and start offering backwards compatible parts. Until the 4, the hardware was just not up to industry standards.
Very true. My daily driver at the moment is a Latitude from like 2011 or so. It already had an SSD, I just needed to upgrade the ram to 8gb. I can browse the web, watch movies and can play older games (including csgo before they upgraded to cs2).

In Shanghai, cheese is something of a novelty item, but milk is sold in every convenience store. I find this surprising given that more than 90% of Chinese are lactose intolerant.

On the other hand, I have gotten the comment several times from a cashier while buying milk, "wow, I've never seen anyone buy that much milk at once!"

How much milk do you need to buy to trigger that comment? One gallon. I drink that much in about two days. (This is several cartons; the largest carton you can buy is 1350 mL of milk.)

So I conclude that Chinese people expect to be able to buy milk, but regardless of that expectation, they actually buy almost zero milk.

The concept of lactose intolerance doesn't seem to be well known. I had someone react with horror when she asked what I was going to have for lunch and I said milk. She assured me that if I were to drink milk on an empty stomach, I would suffer from diarrhea. She was confused when I responded that that wouldn't happen to me because I'm white.

As long as the battery pack is still sealed and the interlock systems are undamaged and working correctly, it's no big deal. You follow the manufacturer's instructions to make it safe, then work on it like there's no voltage present.

If the battery pack is broken or a prototype or whatever, yeah, then you need to think things through carefully before doing them. And have a plan for what you're going to do when things go wrong.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Depends on the timing phases of the lights.

Certainly the new 30km/h and modified phases has caused noticable congestion where previously traffic flowed very well.

Sure to be safer for pedestrians and cyclists because the traffic is now mostly at a standstill.

On some roads you could race the phases and go 60 to 70 in a 50 zone.

I would be interested to see a measure for the improvement in safety. People were careful on those roads, and can now be more cavalier e.g. cyclists lane splitting and pedestrians jaywalking through dense standstill traffic.
