How do you know that drug use is so much more rare in China? Wouldn’t this system allow it to be equally common but relegated to the shadows? Just based on what I’ve heard from a friend who grew up there, people in China go through an extremely competitive, difficult schooling to obtain a position in an extremely competitive, brutal workspace and have high rates of undiagnosed mental illness as a result. I’d be willing to bet a lot of them secretly use drugs to cope.
Do you think it’s the fact that people will be able to put you back together in the USA that gets people into it? I’d have thought they get into drugs young, when they don’t think it’s dangerous (or like that it is) then get addicted and look for things to keep getting that high on. Only other group that comes to mind is veterans coping with ptsd and people who got put on prescription painkillers, though I’m sure there are others I’m not considering. If I’m mistaken please inform me.

Treaties and UN involvement could be arranged to help guarantee this.

However, what is clear is that Israel's current approach is not working to ensure its security, and that in the last few decades it has only succeeded in turning the population of Palestine ever more bitter against them. So, unless they are prepared to wipe them out entirely, what possible hope is there in continuing in this direction?

Say Hamas is successfully eliminated. Every single Hamas leader and soldier is killed or captured. Is there any reason whatsoever to imagine that people in Gaza could return to their bulldozed and bombed "homes" and feel friendly towards Israel? Or did this incursion all but guarantee that the next generation of Gazans will feel even more justified in defying Israel?

And note, the same question is true of Hamas' monstrous attack - no doubt the vast majority of those hurt by the Hamas attack will feel justified in hating and fearing Gaza and Hamas. It's just harder to ask the ones being oppressed to just bear with it in the hope their oppressor might stop.
> I'm curious, is your claim that one of the current leaders of Hamas said this? If so I'd love to read the quote.

I saw a video of this today, the quote was from 2019 though (and he was condemned for it and walked it back), so maybe this shouldn't be taken "too seriously" (it was on my mind cause I saw it today, mostly):

> In July 2019, Hamad urged members of the Palestinian diaspora to kill "Jews everywhere". His comments were characterized as incitement to genocide by Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America[18] and the Simon Wiesenthal Center.[19] His rhetoric was widely condemned by other Palestinians and he later stated that he supports the Hamas policy of "limiting its resistance to the Zionist occupation that usurps Palestine’s land and defiles its holy sites".

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

> One counterargument is that taking out Hamas, if they succeed (I'm not bullish), is likely to just result in another possibly more radical group rising to power. Doubly so when we've seen something like 20,000 casualties in the last two months, overwhelmingly civilian, which is very obviously going to breed another generation that is full of hatred and vengeance.

Firstly, I'm not sure what you mean by "overwhelmingly civilian". Hamas doesn't publish numbers of militants vs. civilians, as far as I know the only good source for that figure is the IDF, which says more or less a 2:1 ratio (civilian:militant). Is that "overwhelmingly" civilian?

Secondly, what's the alternative? Leave Hamas in power, trying to do this again and again? It's true that Israel doesn't have many good options here, it's all variations of bad, but taking out Hamas is a decent way to gain a lot of security. (And is better for the long-term peace process, IMO, and better for Gazans.)

> [...] I frankly think it should be possible for Israel to prevent another October 7 even in a universe where Hamas is still in power.

I thought so too, but after talking a lot about this I think you're wrong. Hamas aren't idiots - they're a smart, increasingly well-funded enemy. Israel has a lot of capabilities, but Hamas is right on the border. They are fully capable of waiting a few years and then launching another attack using other means. They are fully capable of eroding Israel's ability to defend the border by sending "peaceful civilians" to the border, putting Israel in a position of either shooting at civilians or accepting many thousands of people on the border (similar happened in 2018).

Their rockets are getting better, their intel gathering is getting better, etc. It is incredibly naive (and arrogant!) to think you can forever outwit an enemy. Guerilla armies have beaten larger forces many times.

Not to mention, the more defense you throw at them, the more economically costly this is for you,

> history shows pretty well that the US only installs a power when they

Instead of coming up with conspiracy theories we could consider what other options there are. There are effectively only three powers which could control Gaza if/when Hamas is defeat: Egypt, Israel and the PA.

Egypt certainly doesen't want anything to do with the region or Palestinians anymore. So US can only chose between supporting a direct Israeli occupation or a semi-indirect one (through the Palestinian Authority). I don't think the US government wants to install a puppet regime in Gaza, they'd rather have absolutely nothing to do with at all.

Tangential but when it comes to Afghanistan I'm almost certain that stupidity and incompetence (and one might guess a good dose of corruption) rather than outright malice or imperialism were to blame for that entire disaster.

> Palestinians real autonomy

Well to some extent Hamas was the closest they got to that for decades.
Piling on with more social proof for anyone browsing this thread for recommendations: I’ve seen 50ish non-comedy silent films, all reputedly-very-good ones, and this might be my favorite. Top 5, no question, likely top 3, and I’d have to think about it and maybe do some re-watches, but possibly #1.

When I was a kid Mickey had transcended movie character, he was like the Santa of the Disney world. the M.C. The spirit of Walt in some ways. I think I'd seen maybe one special or fantasia with him actually starring, and even that was after I knew him. My nephews have seen less of him and yet he's still something of a magic benevolent being to them.

He represents so much more than a character, I think in a time when they're expanding portfolios they NEED to keep Mickey to stay Disney if they want to - and imo they should want to.

Funny, my mother-in-law lives in Russia and describes nothing of this sort of fear.

Hey, I just want to thank you for the book recommendation. Reading the preface to "A Treatise on Efficacy: Between Western and Chinese Thinking"[1] it seems to codify a lot that I've previously thought about.

And as a topical aside, I can personally vouch for the practicality of humanure[2] and ph-adjusted urine-capture[3]. They are indeed simpler, scalable, and well within that sweetspot of minimal inputs and maximal outputs, particularly when it comes to fertility.

Neither, I'm saying that for the past 2 decades, the conventional wisdom in the space has been that OS hardening efforts were some significant quantum of time behind exploit developers, but certainly not "2 decades" worth.

It's an aggregate sentiment, right? There are some mitigations that I think legitimately did set back exploit development, but on the whole I think the sentiment has been that OS hardening mitigations have been not just reactive, but reactive to exploit development that is some significant quantum of time behind the current state of the art.

By way of example, I think people made fun of the original OpenBSD system call mitigation stuff described at the beginning of this post. I have no idea what the consensus would be on this new iteration of the idea.
Yes, I didn't mean to equivocate. Unquestionably what Hamas did was much, much worse. Still, logically speaking, if we can excuse murdering one innocent civilian, we might have excused murdering a thousand as well.

Given that you're in NZ, one place that I could recommend doing this would be the Abel Tasman track. It gets very busy during peak season but there are definitely times that it is much less crowded and the weather is still good (the last time I experienced this was August some years ago). The reason that I think this track would be a good choice is that it is relatively easy (coastal - little elevation), a good length (i.e. around 5 comfortable days), and you can have the water taxis transfer your bags between huts/campgrounds. It's also absolutely beautiful of course.

On a related note, it's interesting to read this here as I'm an avid walker-and-talker and pretty sure that I live within about 20min walk of the author (unless he's moved of course). In fact, only last week I went on a great hill/bush walk in the area with an old friend that recently returned from Germany to work here doing materials science for a space-tech organisation. Not something I know much about, but I know a lot more about it since that walk!

Edit: Another walk where I think the same thing might be possible (using water taxis to transport bags) is the Queen Charlotte track in the Marlborough Sounds. I haven't yet done it myself but I understand that it is also an easy walk and might even have the added advantage of lodges with restaurants along the way!

> Isreal left Gaza very logn time ago.

Israel has not left Gaza.

> They had an election and Hamas came to power, and they never hold an election after.

Israel has obstructed agreements between the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority and Hamas in Gaza on all-Palestine elections on several occasions since then (the fact that some people who would be voters in such elections live in occupied territory outside of what Israel claims as Israel but which is currently administered by Israel, among other factors, gives Israel the power to do this.)

> There is no land dispute between Isreal and Gaza

Yes, there is. Or, rather, there is no dispute at all that the kill zone of officially 100m and in practice up to 1500m that has been enforced by Israel since it supposed "disengagement" on the Gaza side of the security fence is Gaza, and not Israel, and that Israel is exercising control of that swath of Gaza territory, against the wishes and interests (and lives) of the people living in Gaza.

> The issue is that Hamas need to agree that Israel has the right to exist. Period.

Out of Israel, Fatah (the governing party of the PA centered in the West Bank), and Hamas, the only one that hasn't accepted the 1967 borders of Israel, with presently-occupied territories (plus Gaza, for those who accept Israel's claim that it is not presently occupied) outside of those borders as a Palestinian State is Israel.

Israeli rhetoric about other people needing to accept their right to exist is exactly backwards.

In this case you could use MutationObserver - although we are doing manually the logic web components provide, but my point is that you can do it also without using web components. My code doesn't include attribute changes, but this should be possible to also do with MutationObserver.

<body>
<script>
const onRemoteFragmentMount = async (el) => {
const src = el.getAttribute("src");
const result = await fetch(src).then((res) => res.text());
el.innerHTML = result;
};

const callback = (mutationsList, observer) => {
for (let mutation of mutationsList) {
if (mutation.type === "childList") {
mutation.addedNodes.forEach((node) => {
if (node.tagName === "REMOTE-FRAGMENT") {
onRemoteFragmentMount(node);
}
});
}
}
};

const observer = new MutationObserver(callback);
const bodyElement = document.querySelector("body");
observer.observe(bodyElement, {
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});
</script>

<remote-fragment src="..." />
</body>
That's a very fair question! The key is to find aligned investors. In this case, we found investors who believe in the fundamental opportunity, have the patience for us to figure out how to capture it, and believe that we're the right people to do it.
I don't want to start another top-level thread on this topic, as it is contentious enough already - but just as an aside, the UN General Assembly just passed a (symbolic) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire with 153 to 10, an even stronger majority than the last resolution.

Of course UN votes are always subject to all kinds of political considerations and power dynamics and the saying "nations have no friends, only interests" still applies, but when such a wide range of countries from completely different geopolitical alignments vote for this (e.g. pro-palestinian but strongly anti-Hamas Egypt together with hosts of Hamas Turkey, Qatar and Iran, together with pro-Israel western countries such as France and Switzerland), this does give a strong hint how the world opinion on the matter seems to be.

The question can be asked the other way - if they didn't want to kill civilians, why attack refugee camps? Why invade the Al Sheefa hospital? Why level entire neighborhoods?

Sure, we can't know for sure what the intentions were, what legitimate targets may have been there or not etc.

All we can say for sure is that they have killed a huge number of civilians, so it's illogical to assume that this could not have been at least part of their intention.

At those two resolutions you'd pick the higher resolution one. I agree that generation of codec doesn't scale all the way up to 4K and at that point you might need to make some smart decisions.

I think it should be possible to decide in one shot in the codec though. My memory is that codecs (image and video) have tried implementing scalable resolutions before, but it didn't catch on simply because dropping resolution is almost never better than dropping bitrate.
This is actually true; it’s been discussed with citations in previous HN threads. Elbit systems notoriously used to advertise this on their website (doing R&D on the population of Gaza to bill their drones as “battle tested”) until the latest redesign, but they’re not the only ones.
The basic story here is about Tay. Microsoft shut Tay down after 16 hours because people found ways to make Tay say "holocaust denier" kind of stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(chatbot)
