> The thing is, bulldozing is also happening in the West Bank, which has nothing to do with Hamas.

Well, "nothing to do" is a bit of a stretch. There are active Hamas militants in the WB as well, and their actions on October 7th have polled at as having around 70% approval in the WB (which lest I be misunderstood, I mention to indicate a willingness to cooperate with Hamas by the populace, not as justification to attack them for their views).

> As referred to in other comments, terrorism in Northern Ireland and Spain were solved by coming to the negotiating table.

Great. Israel did that multiple times, and Palestinians have never agreed to any deal offered them. Hamas isn't really trying to negotiate here though - their stated goal is to kill all Jews and take back the entire land.

> Additionally, rather than bombing civilians which is more likely to Foster a new generation of terrorists out for revenge, Israel could simply spend that war chest donated by the US ($3bn / year and a $14bn aid package) invest in Gaza,

So, disarm itself completely and hope that Hamas doesn't do what it promised it would do over and over, and has already proved capable of doing?

Gaza gets enormous amounts of financial aid, e.g. $600m in 2020 (just the first figure I found on Google). You know where that aid goes? Hamas steals it to finance its war against Israel.

You can literally see videos of them attacking food aid trucks coming into Gaza now and stealing the food for themselves.

> As the country responsible for these resources it is inhumane to do otherwise. There is a correlation between treating people well, and a lack of violence from them.

Israel isn't wholly responsible for these resources, Hamas is the government of Gaza and is responsible for it. Israel provides some water to Gaza and sells some electricity to Gaza.

But really, why do you think Gaza, despite enormous financial aid from around the world, is still reliant on Israel for so many things? It's not like Mexico is reliant on the US for everything.
A simple Webserver with GUI for Windows. You navigate to the folder you want to serve and just click "Start".

I use it all the time when I need to serve up some data in JSON for example. I can specify IP and Port to bind to, it has directory listing enabled and it always sets the headers "Access-Control-Allow-Headers: " and "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: " for easier quick testing.

I just threw together some components in Delphi. ;)
First, because CPython had more concerns than what Smalltalk implementations have, so such comparison would be unfair to Python. (See my topmost comment for example.)

Second, my question was about the possibility that Smalltalk and others were unbearably slow without JIT, so JIT was not a matter of choice for them. I'm not aware of Smalltalk implementations that don't have JIT, so it would be easier to compare Smalltalk with another well-optimized JIT implementation instead---in this case JS.
I don't read GP as sympathising with Apple/Google at all, they just want a nice experience in their car; say that they think they get it from A/G, and that they didn't for years before that from car manufacturers.

Android was, I think, even better in the early days.

It had 4 hardware buttons: back, menu, home and search. They lost menu and search along the way. Sure, they weren't always needed, but they were common enough functions that could warrant dedicated buttons. Now, everything is different and you never know how to popup a menu (hamburger menu? where? or is it a swipe?), even though it is always the same functionally.
You can draw plenty of conclusions from the metadata.
> Israel left Gaza in 2005.

Israel did not leave Gaza, though it made a show of doing so.

> Gaza elected Hamas who have been bombing Israel ever since.

Israel carried out a campaign directly aimed at discrediting Fatah and radicalizing the Palestinian population around the elections, and it paid off exactly as intended, with Hamas not only winning locally in Gaza, but an overall legislative majority.

Israel has also acted to preserve the status quo they acheived in that election by obstructing subsequent planned all-Palestine elections.
That's just how it goes, though. I'm sure if we had music numbers, we'd see well known classics up the charts too. That doesn't mean that viewers don't want new content to watch- likely you would see classics go up when there isn't new content to watch [just throw on an episode of Friends!].

I'm actually excited to see non-Netflix shows on these charts, because this is a signal to Netflix to maintain access to non-Netflix show libraries.

Until recently one of the big problems of streaming licensing was that the rights were almost always sold exclusively, meaning if Netflix had show A but then Hulu won the bidding war for show A in the next round, Netflix had to get rid of it. As evil as Zaslov and his ilk are, this newer round of changes in the industry seems to be opening up the option for non-exclusive licensing. That's really the only way you're going to avoid having a subscription to every major network app (Peacock, Paramount+, Max, Netflix, etc) in order to have a good catalog of stuff to watch.

And frankly I'm tired of dealing with the uneven experiences of these apps, and having to keep a mental map of what show is owned by who in order to jump in to watch these shows without a JustWatch Google search every time. It would be nice if there was a decent shot of just trying an app and having a show I want to watch on it.

Printed, paid-for newspapers also have ads.
It's more common water cooler talking points. Like the superbowl, the reality is, most people have shallow investment in the shared culture. You get proficient making small talk on popular topics that doesn't really matter on an individual level. Like how everyone is trained to talk about the weather, but they're not going to form many durable relationships off it. Unless they're genuinely interested, like football fans in superbowl. It's "time pass" topics, it's not nothing, but it's overstated. There's a reason why people jumped to communities that better aligned with individual interests as internet got more social, very people liked wasting their time on mediocre pop culture. Don't get me wrong, they exist in great numbers, but my feeling is still all this cultural commonality facilitates weak bonding among most people who would rather watch their niche interests on youtube given the chance than speculate on the last nights Xfiles.

Speaking as a millennial, I also think the syncness is overstated. It's always interesting when pre 90s generations reminisce about all these cultural consumption they had in common, but then realize they experienced them at different times. Access to media was not ubiquous pre internet, you either need disposable $$$ which many people didn't have, or need to have a hookup for bootleg. Many people can grow up hearing about HBO shows and didn't get to watch them until years later when file sharing proliferated. There is still a "vast" cultural common ground in the sense that... there actually wasn't so much content and what people remember / make effort to watch end up overlapping. Now there is legitimately so much broadcast media out there that I imagine it's hard to accidentally overlap. Something has been lost, but as someone who didn't like small talking about that stuff, but I am not sure that much.

> Not to mention that it's still physically impossible to use voice controls to dial people with non-English names if you have your OS set to English - try saying "Dial Jan Szczepanek" and it will never recognize it, no matter how you pronounce it. If you have OS set to Polish it will work fine, but I cannot be expected to keep switching my OS language!

This is just the modern allergy to allowing user configuration. (God forbid someone use your software to do what they want to do!) The problem was solved in the 90s, when speech-to-text sucked, by letting you define your own words.

https://www.speechrecsolutions.com/tutorials/Customizing_Dra...

Obviously, that solution will still work today.

But you are still allowed to configure your contact information, so there's an obvious solution: instead of calling him Jan Szczepanek, just call him John Stevenson. Everyone wins! ;D
Steam and EGS don't just offer payment processing. Bandwidth isn't free, neither is patching, distributaion and "curation" (albeit this one is definitely more debatable).

Even then, payment processing isn't just about taking a $10 transaction. A single dispute on Stripe will cost you $25 whether you are succesful or not. Handling payments in non-local currencies is 3.5% + 20p on stripe, plus currency conversion fees.

I don't think 30% is the right cut, but 2% isn't a fair comparison for the service.
Can we get a write up of this "experiment" from your perspective sometime next week?

> Everything you said in your comment has been debunked

I'm sorry, if you seriously believe that - you are just factually wrong.

I urge you - if you're serious - try to view real journalistic accounts of what is going on. They're not all favorable to Israel, but at least they aren't going to completely misinform you about what's going on. Just as an example:

> IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ.

This is completely false. They didn't "only find a calendar" and they didn't "stop saying there was an HQ there". There have been multiple videos showing ammunition recovered in the hospital, showing the undergroung tunnel network under the hospital, there was even a video of Hamas militants dragging in hostages into the hospital.

You're just straight up wrong about your facts.
You posted this four hours after my comment (above) which already provides two links which cast a clear doubt on the legality of mp3caprice.com. A quick web search returns dozens of links to people questioning the legality, and several of people or organisations giving good arguments as to why they are not.

If you want more proof, just look at mp3caprice.com itself. Where is the usual legal stuff like the procedure for reporting claimed infringement? Their single form of contact is a web form. Their privacy policy even lacks a way to contact them.

Just be clear - the restrictions are on a non-EU foreign spouse's rights to residency in Denmark - not the marriage itself. Here Denmark is extremely restrictive forcing many Danish/non-EU-couples to live in Sweden and yes Germany.
>> I want to contrast this with other sources of numbers

2008 war: The ministry reported 1,440 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 1,385.

2014 war: The ministry reported 2,310 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 2,251.

2021 war: The ministry reported 260 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 256.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-death-toll-records-1.7010...

I'd say Hamas numbers have been reliable based on past conflicts. So, I don't know why you're dismissing them.

>> Given that context, the IDF for sure can still lie, but most likely they will eventually be found out.

Tell me more about the accountability and the cost of those lies and crimes by the IDF. How many IDF soldiers rot in prison for the crimes they committed and the crimes that have been documented by HRW? It's zero.

Even when the crimes are fully recorded, they get a handful of months and a commuted sentence.
> Buy on Steam? Great, I have that installed and ready to go. Buy on your website? Fine, I can autofill the purchase form, get an exe/zip, and I'm set. Buy on Epic? I have to install their store... then make an account... then add payment info... then find and purchase the game (while being bombarded with ads and flashy shit in an unfamiliar store interface).

That same logic could apply to Steam if you don't have it installed and have Epic installed. You're basically describing first-movers advantage.

Personally I don't see that as a reason not to try others. Nor as a reason to give Steam a monopoly (on my game purchases).
Jraby, you need to distinguish between sectarian tensions which were deliberately inflamed

(campaign of Mossad bombings targeting Jewish communities elsewhere in the Middle East, to force sectarian fault lines to implode - documented BY an Iraqi Jew whose father left Iraq, served in the IDF, then left for London where the daughter wrote a book detailing this very thing),

vs the long tradition of Muslims and Jews living peacefully side by side. The Caliph Umar, when he took control of Jerusalem from the Byzantine's, actually invited the scattered Jews BACK to Jerusalem. When Jews were being banished from Al-Andalus (Spain) after the Christian reconnaissance (Spanish Inquisition and all that), the Ottoman Sultan actually sent multiple ships to RESCUE them, which is why there was such a large Jewish presence in N Africa.

There is simply NO comparison between the Jewish experience under Muslim rule, and the Jewish history of repression under European rule. None.

And then Zionism came along. If not for that, you would be Iraqi today. That's the sad truth.

Right, Elsevier collects analytics on their own services, which has the possibility of being accessed by others, which itself is one concern, however the claim by Fast Company and Fight for the Future was Elsevier somehow surveils broad internet usage outside the scope of their own products.

For this to be true they'd either need their own trackers on every single website online (or be ingesting from those that do but at which point it's not Elsevier's tracking) or be have software/browser addon installed on the clients' system.

Only a small handful of companies have approached the near-ubiquity of webpage presence of the former that made cross-internet tracking a realistic scenario (see eg. past critique of Google/Facebook embeds) but afaict the only thing being interpreted here is a line in a privacy policy that is very likely being misinterpreted.

Certainly the report doesn't make any claim about ubiquitous internet tracking in its key findings summaries. Contrast that to how Fight for the Future has run with it:

> Elsevier tracks more than what books someone reads—it surveils readers’ search and browsing history across the whole web, collects their locations, and builds profiles based on inferences from this data.

TypeScript for OmniFocus Scripts
OmniFocus 4 is on its way! It's my favorite TODO app.

One of its coolest feature is Omni Automation. It's one of my most used features. But I hate pure JavaScript. Even though there's a TypeScript definition, it's kinda outdated and uses the `any` type way too much. Plus, pure JavaScript doesn't have module support.

To celebrate the release of OmniFocus 4, I've decided to open-source my OmniFocus Scripts Solution, which includes typing definitions and a bundler. I hope it can make more people to write OmniFocus scripts with joy.

The common idea of how borders work relies on the fact that borders are mutually recognized, and authorities on both side of the border collaborate to keep the border secure. This way you can maintain the exclusion zone in no man's land.

Border between Gaza Strip and Israel on the other hand is not even officially delineated AFAIK, it just de facto exists where the barrier is. So if you make a new barrier 500 meters away, and let the old one be slowly destroyed - as Hamas is not interested in maintaining it - it doesn't change anything, except the de facto border is now 500 away from the old place.
Correct. FISA Section 702 still requires Apple conduct warrantless surveillance on the vast majority of their customers (including all not in the US).

Apple’s transparency report says they turn over data on around 70,000 users per year to the US government without a warrant.

FISA Section 702 is set to expire at the end of this year, but the proposed renewal actually expands the scope and makes it way, way worse:

What is Microsoft 365 or Office 365 Push Notification Service?

From

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/configuring-push-...

How do I enable push notifications?

In order to enable push notifications, the on-premises Exchange 2013 servers must connect to the Microsoft 365 or Office 365 Push Notification Service to send push notifications to iPhones and iPads. Exchange 2013 on-premises servers route their update notifications through the Microsoft 365 or Office 365 notification services to remove the need for enrolling developer accounts with third-party push notification services.

So it goes like

1. Your server
2. Microsoft server
3. Apple server
4. Device

So this begs the next question: does Microsoft require warrants to disclose these notifications?
The most peaceful era? Since WW2 we had, just naming the major ones with US participation, Korea, Vietnam (twice, first the French with US help and the US one), the Second Gulf War, the War on Terror, with highlights in Iraq and Afghanistan (it spanned the globe, earbing the name "global war on terror", and took 20+ years to end with a withdrawal frok Afghanistan). Feel free to count the casualty estimates from wikipedia. Peacefull is sometjing different.
