this isn't the US fighting tribes thousands of km away from home. This is israelis not willing to accept hamas' existence anymore, right across the border. You're learning the lessons of Taliban/Al-Quada the wrong way, because you see a bunch of people who look like the taliban doing attacks and stop thinking. This is not the same situation, nor will Israel accept the situation that existed on October 7th to ever happen again. The old status quo is gone and there won't be a return to it ever, and the current status quo between israel/hamas/iran is decided by who ignores the UN/international pressure the longest.

Absolutely nobody has any incentive to listen to calls for ceasefire unless they are in mortal threat, which is what Israel is working on and what hamas started with. The restraint is gone - there is no reason for anyone to hold back because holding back now creates a worse future position.
Aside from all the horrific implications, this enables something very cool: two-way telepathic communication.

We're an immigration law firm that helps people and families with all their immigration needs. Attorney Vitalii Maliuk understands immigration complexities well because he's an immigrant too.

I don’t see the contradiction. Humans can be emotional and at the same use science to make all humans life better! In fact why would we ever develop any technology that makes life better for others if we don’t have any feelings for them?
This is more acceptable as a solution in a situation where your and your family's literal access to healthcare is not dependent upon your not getting laid off. Healthcare costs on the "open" market are enough to drive even families that think of themselves as well-off into poverty.

One of the reasons that a single-payer healthcare system didn't take off in the 15 years between 2008 and now has been that the current system was working well enough. I wonder if the widespread layoffs and resulting loss of healthcare access will change voters' minds on that issue.
Don't make this about Iran. Iran is doing nothing to deligitimize Israel right now. The Knesset is doing that all on its own.

But death to the Jews? Where is the source of that? But even if they did, they are no threat to Israel. They're no threat to Jews around the world. Israel is vastly more powerful than any country in the region, except maybe Iran. There is really no threat to Israels existence at this point. It's also the only nuclear power in the region. Mearscheimer correctly called this "threat inflation"[1]

But calling for the destruction of a state isn't that uncommon. I fail to see what's so unique about such a statement.
Also worth remember that the west itself constantly engages in that rhetoric.

0. Various countries frequently call for the destruction of their neighbours

1. the Israeli's and the Americans constantly call for the destruction of Iran(hardly the only nation btw)

2. the US and Europeans have conferences about the break up of Russia(i.e. the destruction of Russia)

3.Yugoslavia, and several other nations having actually been destroyed in the last couple of decades

OK, but the headline is "solar and wind to top coal power in US for first time", not "solar and win to top coal power in places /u/hermitcrab saw in Florida", right? "I didn't see any in Florida" was a very odd rebuttal to the article's factual content.

The answer to your question "So where does this US solar and wind power come from?" is "mostly not Florida".

The US has the same problem. Some parties want voters to show ID, but also won’t allow a national ID card. So it’s up to individual states to determine their own requirement for ID, and parties have great incentive to mess with that process in one way or another to favor their voters. And vote by post is also a very contentious issue.
I think PRC influence over situation is limited. I suspect this is as much Iran flexing (Houthi missiles of Iranian origin) their new regional power projection capabilities, and due to current energy geopolitics, betting no one wants to stir the pot any further. They want everyone to know they can now credibly escalate in region, regardless of PRC ire.

Generally speaking armed revolution ends with the revolutionaries getting the short end of the stick, they were the keys to aquiring some measure of power, but are no longer useful for a régime focused on controlling its new territory. Following that a constitution and new edicts arise that cement state power while providing a thin vernier of legitimacy.

As far as an armed group in the united states doing that, I think we are a long way off from that. Although I would say democracy is structurally flawed, so long as the american public believes the foundation myth of their representation holds, no such thing is possible. The easiest way then to prevent an armed revolution, is to provide better transparency to elections. You dont even really need to make the elections fair; for instance im pretty sure republican voters will go on accepting that their civil and economic rights are trampled on; Democratic voters will go on accepting disfunctional criminal justice, healthcare, and education systems; so long as we arent playing games with who and how votes are tallied and what level of transparency we have over that process. Breaking that cycle, where the vast majority would really rather unwittingly vote away prosperity, requires a different type of revolution.
> Which will continue

If they lose control over Gaza? No.

> payments come in exchange for remaining a thorn in Israel's side…they're much more effective as an insurgency

The guys in Doha aren’t insurgents. They’re bureaucrats. The insurgent leadership is being killed.

> same is true for Hamas, quite clearly

How? There is no loyalty test. Again, Hamas lost control of its proxies. You’re conflating separate situations that are fundamentally different because on the surface you like the opportunity to call the GOP terrorists. Which, ironically, undermines your broader argument.

> all signs point to extensive planning by Hamas

Extensive planning. Not necessarily by Hamas. Again, this was a tremendously stupid move. There were smarter plays, and hints Hamas was trying for them, but they screwed the pooch and are seeing heavy destruction and the likely loss of their fighters, local infrastructure and operational control in Gaza.
That's not how autocratic systems work. In any autocratic system you allowed to be somewhat independent. How independent? It depends on you position in hierarchy. But if you cross the line, you will get punished for all your independent actions and even thoughts. There is no "because of this and that". The only thing that matters is that you crossed the invisible line.

If noninvasive mind reading ever becomes practical, we need to recognize the right to refuse a brain scan a universal human right. Additionally, it should be banned from being used for evidence in the courtroom.

Unfortunately there will be authoritarian regimes that will use and abuse this type of tech, but we need to take a firm stand against it in liberal democracies at the very least.

There is no cost, as explained.

The benefit is obvious... to ensure the person casting a ballot is really who they claim to be. It's odd that people are fine providing ID for many things but that voting should somehow be exempt.
Well, it's describing patterns that frequently occur in large enterprises, but even the ones I've been a part of (not many), they try to avoid them and empower individual teams to be as agile and as lean as possible.

Most familiar to me from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, where the deranged narrator asks this to the bird:

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—*is* there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

> Can't new MtG sets literally be generated perfectly with AI now?

no not quite

you can generate cards sure

but for a set to work you need more then just random generated cards

especially if you want it to go well

or if you want to continue to have success with crossovers where the choices of mechanics should synagize not just with the set in general but with the lore from the cross over, something mtg somewhat managed to do quite well for multiple of their cross over sets in the recent years

but a lot of the current AI is really bad at getting any of this broader context right

and there is the broader balancing both for draft, commander, balancing prices, reprints etc.

Similar while there are always examples of AI are being extremely well made, most of it has subtle but clear signs it's AI art. That's not necessary bad art, but clearly different art. And a lot of the mtg players I did now over the years cared about the art quite a bit and would probably be very unhappy if it becomes AI art.

I think for a lot of magic players AI generated cards (with similar price gauging selling structures as the current cards) might very well be the last straw causing them to exit the game.

EDIT: Additionally AFIK you can't really copyright AI art in the US which would be a major problem for them.
"Mainstream metaphysics" means categorialism. Everybody knows about genus/species hierarchy.

But the same applies to caring, don't you think? You and all the others (not me tho ;]) can - and indeed do - care about anything. Caring, I believe, is just as ephemeral and easily manipulated and to some degree the result of emotions and input. Emotions on drugs are always a wonderful example, and people who keep going back to that guy who always has cocaine, which is of course, meant literally and figuratively.

Chaplin always reminds me of myself and those days when I wonder how it is, that people prefer the comfort of some culture or crowd vs. becoming an individual and unique being. I used to grind my teeth into this until hierarchies and pointers started to make sense to me.

"We think too much and feel too little" isn't one of those quotes and bits of wisdom that is meant for everyone. I believe what Chaplin hoped to achieve was to give some outliers a way to integrate themselves into the crowd, to carve out a little space that would be as protected as all the spaces where obedience and conformity reign. "We think too much and feel too little" is an inspiration to the people who have ideas and the ability to make us feel, to become aware of our emotions whenever we seek out exactly that. It's a stimulation for people of all kinds, especially the stranger kind, to go out there and do magic and art right there on the street, in the circus, on stage, on TV and of course this wonderful little prism we call the internet and any other expansion of the spaces that become accessible with time and effort of those who like to think a lot and get enough opportunities to calm their minds to avoid inflammation.

Holy shit, for a minute my writing felt like that of Maria Popova.
> Taking heat as an employee should be voluntary, and it should be compensated, and it usually isn’t.

It must be compensated! At the vast, vast majority of companies, the worker bees' compensation is multiple orders of magnitude lower than leadership's. Why should they shoulder the accountability? When you question these stratospheric executive compensations, one of the retorts is always "Well, they are responsible and accountable so that's why they're paid so much."

Don't feel frustrated with a colleague who doesn't get fired when the project fails. Get frustrated with the executive leader 4 notches up on the totem pole who makes $10M/yr for "being responsible", who gets a bonus when the project fails.
Unemployment is actually at record lows now; it's just the tech industry seeing massive layoffs probably due to a ZIRP bubble popping.

The indignities of the system are already well-known to the majority of people who don't have 6-figure work from home jobs. You'd think a single-payer system would be more popular, but that is not what people seem to prioritize. Instead it seems that they vote ever more to cut social safety nets (though I think they really vote for cultural reasons and right-wing politicians use their grievances to serve the wealthy).

I wonder if a subject has to train it first, such as by reading a bunch of prompts while trying to imagine them. Or, are our linguistic neural networks all very similar? If the former is true, it would at least be a bit harder to work as a polygraph. You wouldn't be able to just strap on the helmet and read someone's thoughts accurately.
I disagree. Science would suggest that separating a human from their emotions (like via emotional suppression) is illogical — a one-way ticket to mental health disorder. Thus, to obey reason, one must feel enough (and regulate vs suppress those feelings).
I am not sure how your observation in Denver translates to SFBA? Some teardowns/lots will go for $550K or more, depending on location. It does not mean a house under $1M is unlivable in SFBA. Teardowns do not have staged interior pictures on Zillow, JFYI.
I've always found PM's that come from a UX/Design background to be more willing to engage with the actual people we are building software for. IME, it's always been BA/MBA types that want to draw up documentation and then chuck it over a wall (development) and call it a day.
Always saying yes to "go-to person" like asks is a great way to never get anything done and never let anyone else become the "go-to person" for a particular topic. So yeah, if you don't manage it right it can cause issues, but IME being the go-to person is only half of the game: offloading your responsibilities is the other half.

> Much of the world doesn't have their own fossil fuels they can rely on

For some reason this thought reminded me of the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

Iron failed to displace bronze during the Bronze Age for two reasons:

1. It is technologically difficult to make.

2. It is mostly an inferior material.

(Steel is a lot better than bronze, but that wasn't an option.)

But the Bronze Age ended in a near-total collapse of the social order across most of Eurasia. International trade routes dried up. And iron was readily available everywhere in the world, whereas bronze was not even available to regions that mined their own copper, because they didn't have any tin.

Interestingly enough, having your own local supplies of food and energy protects you from suddenly starving and freezing if a war should break out, but it makes everyone else a lot less safe from you, because now you're insulated from the consequences of war.

In my experience “Go to person” in a mature product has 2 stages:
(1) person who performs somewhat repetitive jobs
(2) person who is trusted to own projects in a given area

Being able to get rid of (1), either through automation or delegation, allows you to go to (2). If you’re stuck on (1) for too long, it’s better to leave.
