> If Ukraine were to bomb a Russian city during the current war, no one would views it as legitimate for Russia to bomb a Ukrainian city back

If Kyiv went into Russia to capture children and seniors after gunning down a rave, their Western backing would evaporate overnight. Russia would be vindicated in its claim that their neighbour poses a security threat.

Had Hamas hit military installations (demonstrating Israeli impotency) and taken hostages, but treated them well (taking the moral high ground as images of Nonna being served tea and falafel are juxtaposed with those of aerial bombardment), our conversation right now would be very different.

You're broadly right. One component of the solution must be an independent Gaza (if not Palestinian state). Another has to be reparations for the Nakba. Israel can be partly responsible, but the primary debtor should be the U.K. and possibly French. (Reparations for the blockade are needlessly divisive. Israel can always argue, legitimately, I believe, that it was Palestine's Arab allies who repeatedly attacked it first.)
Thinking about the difference in scale and scope between a AAA 3D HD real-time shootfest and a small 2d Visual Novel, I wonder if the problem with Indie movies is that we don't consider things like Youtube videos et al to qualify.
The 787 is far more comfortable than earlier aircraft in regards to vibration, sound, air quality, and lighting - there's a lot of internal upgrades. My mother who has had severe headaches and sinus issues that are extremely sensitive to altitude pressure when flying through the 1990s-2010s has had no problems since flying on the 787.
Eschatological cults are not a new phenomenon. And this is what we have with both AI safety and e/acc. They’re different ends of the same horseshoe.

Quite frankly, I think for many followers, these beliefs are filling in a gap which would have been filled with another type of religious belief, had they been born in another era. We all want to feel like we’re part of something bigger than ourselves; something world altering.

From where I stand, we are already in a sort of technological singularity - people born in the early 1900s now live in a world that has been completely transformed. And yet it’s still an intimately familiar world. Past results don’t guarantee future results, but I think it’s worth considering.

My interpretation of "other side" was "other side of the border", i.e. someone living in Gaza or possibly the West Bank. In that case there are literally two sides (I could cite the Jordan curve theorem?). But that may not have been what dang meant.
It's also clear from Hasbro's own statements they didn't expect it to do so well.

Maybe they thought it would have sold like a Divinity 3 and as such gave Larian a better deal on the IP licensing than they think they could have got if they'd known in advance how well it would sell.
> Finally, it's very clear that Hamas actively wants to kill Israeli civilians. Israel's behavior is not beyond reproach but they aren't going through Palestinian towns and shooting old people and children.

While I agree that Hamas has made it very clear that they are explicitly targeting Israeli civilians, which is an obvious war crime and abhorrent, I see no proof whatsoever that the Israeli military isn't doing the same. The scale of destruction and murder in the current incursion speaks for itself. Sure, they don't intend to literally murder all of Gaza's population. But it's very hard to believe that they don't intend to kill some specific number.

They have already killed more civilians in Gaza than Russia killed in the first months in Ukraine.
Probably the former. It's long been customary for pilots to broadcast turbulence over the radio so others can avoid it.
I have no love for Islam (nor hatred) but Jews have always been considered a protected class under Islamic law. Which I mention to bring up the point that if we had an organic Jewish state that arose naturally (i.e. via voluntary accumulation of land via purchases, etc, as opposed to theft which is how the state of Israel was formed), I see no reason why they couldn't maintain healthy relations with the surrounding states.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention that the modern phenomenon of violent Islamic terrorism did not exist a century ago. In my view it's basically a direct result of Israeli & Western foreign policy. It's really hard to take land from people and in some cases commit literal massacres (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre) and not end up with a significant portion of the affected population turning to terrorism.
> The bombing of power targets, according to intelligence sources who had first-hand experience with its application in Gaza in the past, is mainly intended to harm Palestinian civil society: to “create a shock” that, among other things, will reverberate powerfully and “lead civilians to put pressure on Hamas,” as one source put it.

> Several of the sources, who spoke to +972 and Local Call on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Israeli army has files on the vast majority of potential targets in Gaza — including homes — which stipulate the number of civilians who are likely to be killed in an attack on a particular target. This number is calculated and known in advance to the army’s intelligence units, who also know shortly before carrying out an attack roughly how many civilians are certain to be killed.

> In one case discussed by the sources, the Israeli military command knowingly approved the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in an attempt to assassinate a single top Hamas military commander. “The numbers increased from dozens of civilian deaths [permitted] as collateral damage as part of an attack on a senior official in previous operations, to hundreds of civilian deaths as collateral damage,” said one source.

> “Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

> According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”

Regardless, you don't want to die from lung cancer. It is pretty horrible. Your body attacks itself, fluid collects in the lungs, it is painful, and you basically drown from within. Your only option is high doses of morphine and one day you just don't wake up. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
There’s a word for changing the terms after a deal is signed to benefit one party over the other: fraud.
Uh, what? Please write about this somewhere.
It appears that they do not contradict that definition. Please read this article, where you can find the definitions in the context of the crime of apartheid:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_apartheid

There is a section there about definition of racial discrimination, it's not only about race.

"According to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD),

the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.[17]

This definition does not make any difference between discrimination based on ethnicity and race, in part because the distinction between the two remains debatable among anthropologists.[18] Similarly, in British law the phrase racial group means "any group of people who are defined by reference to their race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin"

They can freely include Apache2 licensed code in an AGPLv3 project without having to re-license the entire project under Apache2 as it's not a copyleft license.
However this doesn't make the code they included AGPLv3, that code remains Apache2 and must be declared as such.

In a lot of ways, rust definitely encourages heavy use of allocator.

Even if you program better for it, one of the prevailing opinions on “learning about lifetimes” is to “not learn lifetimes, just make copies”.
I don't trust a story reported by Al Jazeera, which is heavily biased against Israel, without outside verification.

That said, I'm sure Israel falls short of ideal on many occasions, not everything it does is exemplary, to say the least. On the whole, Israel's conduct is, I believe, moral and legitimate.
That would depend on the country right? USA doesn't have a life+, so it's a hard date of 1928.
> You can take "less copyleft" license and make it "more copyleft".

Only if licenses are compatible. But Apache 2 is AGPL-compatible so

> It's entirely kosher in my opinion

Yes, I think so too.

However, they need to make it clear which parts are under Apache 2.
How do you expect Israel to defend itself against an enemy that lives next door and is indistinguishable from the citizenry? Doing nothing is not an option: Hamas' explicit, public goal is the annihilation of Israel, and they are right next door. An analogous situation would be if some member(s) of the family next door publicly wanted you dead, and randomly shot at you, your family, and your house. But you don't know which ones, or how many, and you're pretty sure that most of the family is more or less okay with you living there. What do you think the police are going to do? And in this case, there is no police. So what is Israel supposed to do? (The reality is, there is no good solution, in part because Hamas engineered it that way, although I don't see any good solution even if they haddn't.)
what IS weird though is the go exosystem thing.

in go ecosystem, copyleft is very much not the norm.

People might not realise that by just adding copyleft dependency to go.mod, the entire project becomes effectively agpl as it has the code built-in.
> When baseband firmware is compromised, it can lead to complete device compromise.

I believe that’s generally only still true for Android and fixing that is what this is talking about. I don’t actually know but I recall when I worked at Apple many years ago that the baseband was firewalled already for this exact reason.

Edit: can’t find any reports of a baseband compromise for iPhones although I wouldn’t rely on a 30 second DuckDuckGo search to state something definitively.

1) Optimising an application for page load speed is affected by the layers of thunking.

For one thing, when a browser does the initial load of the page html, it scans for <script> tags, downloads all of them in parallel and does some preemptive compilation while preserving the declaration order for actual evaluation.

WASM modules do not receive that same optimisation because they are loaded during JavaScript evaluation, meaning the browser cannot know they exist until the JavaScript is evaluated forgoing their ability to be optimised ahead of time.

Perhaps some level of optimisation is available through the use of service worker, but it's unlikely that the initial load will be as fast in this context as there is additional overhead associated with establishing a SW and a SW only interacts with the network layer so AOT compilation optimisations will be unavailable.

2) Tooling

One of the areas of promise for WASM driven web applications was being able to exclusively use the tooling of the language you're consuming. The reliance on JavaScript for WASM modules inherently relies on the wild world of JavaScript tooling.

Personally, I have many esoteric use cases that require access to DOM APIs but no access to GUI (third party scripts sandboxed within an iframe for consumption). These use cases _must_ be optimised for initial page load. I have experimented with using Rust for my use case and, while it is faster during runtime, the initial load is slower.

3) Extras I'd like to see

I would love it if I could embed html (as a sort of manifest) within the wasm module such that the browser could use wasm as an entry point - removing the need to load html first, then wasm. As good as http2 multiplexing is, for whatever reason, loading html +1 file is slower than loading html with the application embedded within the file.

I'd also like to see us eliminate the need for the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-site` and `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp` headers as they make multi threading in the browser largely impractical.

I keep hearing "3. The defense has to be proportionate" but how does that make sense?

The point is to remove Hamas from a position of power. If that happens with fewer casualties, do they then continue war and kill a few more just to be "proportionate"? That makes no sense.

Also regard 2, if you genuinely feel your cause is just, the result you want is unconditional surrender.
>>Each civilian killed by mistake has family, friends, and neighbors who might be inclined to avenge them and it’s hard for me to see how this doesn’t end up giving Hamas more recruits than they’re losing.

Both Japan and Germany have been pretty well behaved since the Allies ground them to the dust during WW2 - why do you think it couldn't work here?
Much better. It’s a lot more obvious how insubstantial and emotional the “argument” is. Just bad vibes word salad.
I've gotten a few ones that told me that vision problems have nothing to do with your eyes. It said that the problem was entirely neurological, and if you keep trying to hide from the issue by wearing glasses, your family would put you in a nursing home. No, I'm not kidding. The "cure" they were selling was some sort of vitamin, which was certainly untested and unregulated. Truly awful stuff.
I understand the concern but I also understand the general public reaction to Israel's actions. The occupation is one thing, but the genocidal rhetoric by Israeli officials and the desecration of muslim holy sites and harassment of Armenian Christians in Jerusalem is another.
Israel needs to do more to change its behavior and protect its image if it doesn't want people to be repulsed by its actions

Is a Tesla FSD car a worse driver than a human of median skill and ability? Sure we can pull out articles of tragedies, but I'm not asking about that. Everything I've seen points to cars being driven on Autopilot being quite a bit safer than your average human driver, which is admittedly not a high bar, but I think painting it as "greedy billionaire literally kills people for PROFITS" is at best disingenuous to what's actually occurring.
Gaza suffering is the best thing for Hamas. Israel is doing the best possible thing for Hamas and that's why Israel should stop. Because worse than unjustified, their actions are stupid, unless you are a politician saving face.

Pray tell, imagine yourself as a 10 year old Palestinian kid who lost half of his family, his house and several friends to Israeli military action. What are the odds that you are willing to die in order to harm Israel in any way, shape or form?

Again, this is the best scenario for Hamas. Their leaders are literally not even in Palestine, Israel could decimate the population thrice and chances are that the amount of terrorists would increase.
1) You can be subject to discrimination based on your ethnicity, race, or health related factors. That's especially a problem when the data leaks at scale as in 23andme's case because that motivates the development of easy-to-search databases sold in hacking forums. The data you presented here would be harder to find, but not the case with mass leaks.

2) It's a risk for anything that's DNA-based. For example, your data can be used to create false evidence for crimes irrelevant to you. You don't even need to be a target for that. You can just be an entry in a list of available DNA profiles. I'm not sure how much DNA can be manufactured based on full genome data, but with CRISPR and everything I don't think we're too far away either. You can even experience that accidentally because the data is out there and mistakes happen.

3) You can't be famous. If you're famous, you'd be target of endless torrent of news based on your DNA bits. You'd be stigmatized left and right.

4) You can't change your DNA, so when it's leaked, you can't mitigate the future risks that doesn't exist today. For example, DNA-based biometrics, or genome simulation to a point where they can create an accurate lookalike of you. They're not risks today, doesn't mean they're not tomorrow.

There are also additional risks involved based on the country you're living in. So, you might be living in a country that protects your rights and privacy, but it's not the case with the others.

"Hunter–gatherers have less famine than agriculturalists" -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3917328/

"Here, we analyse famine frequency and severity in a large cross-cultural database, in order to explore relationships between subsistence and famine risk. This is the first study to report that, if we control for habitat quality, hunter–gatherers actually had significantly less -- not more -- famine than other subsistence modes."

"Feel good."

The problem with nightshade is that while it worked in laboratory conditions, in practical application it wouldn't work without extensive coordination between everyone using it.

For example, if one artist who draws dogs uses it to bias towards cats and another uses it to bias towards horses, the bias data is less of a signal and more noise. In the paper, they biased all the images the same way.

The issue compounds when you consider the multiple data points that needs to be biased. An artist who draws impressionist dogs, an artist who draws cartoon dogs, and an artist who draws cartoon cats would need to bias 'impressionism,' 'cartoon style,' 'dogs,' and 'cats' all in ways that are standardized across nightshade users to have the tool be effective.

This isn't realistically going to happen.

So ultimately it's about as effective as the users who put the "you don't have permission to use my data" clauses on their MySpace two decades ago. Feels good, and totally ineffective.
> The point is to remove Hamas from a position of power. If that happens with fewer casualties, do they then continue war and kill a few more just to be "proportionate"?

Proportionality is a maximum limitation in just war theory, not a measure of minimum acceptable violence. (The same is generally true in more personal law when proportionality is a component of self-defense provisions.)

> Also regard 2, if you genuinely feel your cause is just, the result you want is unconditional surrender.

No, you want a resolution with acceptable conditions which align with your cause: unconditional surrender necessarily achieves that, but it is by no means generally necessary.
