Abraham accords being scuppered, Houthis applying international pressure on their behalf, and most importantly multiple big cases brought against Israel at the ICJ. Not to mention the considerable loss of standing Israel has suffered amongst regular people in just about any country you care to name.

Compare this to the situation prior to October 7.

With regard to your belief that it looks like Hamas ground forces will be destroyed, I doubt this very much. All indications are that this is not happening. Every area that Israel claims to have 'cleared' they are having to return to. Israel claims to have killed some 9000 Hamas militants, but with fatalities of around 32,000 in Gaza so far this would mean almost every one of those fatalities that was not a woman or child was a militant. That's beyond unlikely.

This attack on Gaza will be wound back long before Hamas is eradicated (and this includes the militant wing). When that happens Hamas will emerge in a better position than prior to October 7 and Israel will be in a worse position.

Hamas' stated objective of exposing Israel is being achieved. The Israeli government has been extremely naive and short sighted in this regard.

Note Rafa has also won wimbeldon on grass, against Federer at his unbelievable peak (in the midst of winning it 8 times), in 5 sets, in the final, finishing in the dark. And won again 2 years later to put those trophies with his 14 French Open titles.

I believe it's more a reference to the allowed civilian casualty rate. If they're allowed to kill 10 or more civilians per bombing of a suspected target, then even if they're 100% accurate in targeting their suspects, 90%+ of the people killed will be civilians.

This has disturbingly happened to just about every apple device made I've owned, except the older apple computers.

The older macos devices (pre-t2 chip) are always usable. You can usually get old data off them, or they can be re-initialized.

But old ios devices? Had an old ipad, it glitched and it needs an apple id password. but it hadn't been hooked up for years and you can't connect it to wifi without it. old ipod touch? same mess.

It seems if older ios devices get out of sync of current os, it becomes hard to recover them unless you have a mac with macos that matches ios by year.
> It's very sad to see commenters here fail applying the same principle to both.

I don't think the two are comparable, and just applying "are technologies to achieve privacy, and both are sometimes abused by bad actors" to both as if that's the start and end of the discussion is surprisingly dismissive.

The 'scope' of encryption is fairly limited in comparison to the scope of a company that can operate under the directorship of a person or persons who are entirely protected from any legal responsibility for the actions of said company.

I may be blinded by personal bias, but I just don't see but the most marginal comparison of these two concepts.
> Environmentalism suffers from the same "purity test" mindset as other things these days.

Keep in mind that environmentalists speak with many voices because they are concerned about different aspects of the environment. Keep in mind that there are many charlatans who will gladly sell something as environmentally friendly when it is not or when it is simply a delaying tactic, so some environmentalists view most claims with extreme skepticism. Keep in mind that there are many environmentalists who believe that we should be setting higher targets.

We shouldn't be painting any group with a singular brush.

I don't play Roblox, but I'm aware of their history of exploiting children.

Based on my preliminary research it appears as if these websites actually just ask you for either your Roblox username/password or ask you for your Roblox cookie to authenticate.

> the very reason why many games are ported from their niche library to Unity or Unreal is mostly just for cross platform support.

Indeed.

> They are forced into it through lack of choice if they want cross platform... because the lower levels are extremely complex

That is what I am saying. There are countless indie game engines of great repute, but because they are "1 guy," they cannot reach feature parity with Unity. They never will.

The Blizzard that developed the Overwatch engine had immense experience and a notoriously frugal (in terms of employee pay) culture. It still cost them about $100m and many years to develop a great engine for 3 platforms (Windows/Xbox, Switch, PS5). What hope does Godot have with $8m, or MonoGame with kopeks?

Nobody can vibes their way past the math problem of multi-platform game engines.

This is only controversial because Unity received so much ill will; and, that the indie games business and social media are very sensitive to vibes.

> WebGPU appears to offer a path forward in that regard [like supporting the Nintendo Switch].

While I would love for this to be true, it is significantly more aspirational than saying that because of Game Porting Toolkit, DirectX offers "a path forward" on macOS.

No it's just energy density. Hydrocarbon fuels have more. There's also the benefit that getting lighter as you expend fuel increases range (batteries don't meaningfully change mass when they discharge).

Nothing about electric powertrains causes any problems here: it's just hydrocarbon fuel is more energy dense. It's not inconceivable you could build a hybrid electric aircraft if a suitably high power hydrocarbon fuel cell was developed, since removing the combustion stages from a jet engine would simplify the design considerably.

This is very different from how children used to experience the world.

Hold up, I didn't say anything about a riot, let alone a physical gathering. Just the contents of a speech where your hypothetical publishing company has become fingered as a target. It could very well be a video on a campaign-blog.

The analogy isn't about violence, it's about kinds of damage to you (and to the republic) when the privacy is pierced, and violence just happens to be the most illustratively-obvious form of that.
Its not even "lite" genocide...

In 1999 Yugoslavia killed ~12 thousand Albanians and displaced ~85 thousand more. Bill Clintons secretary of defense had no problem calling that genocide: "The appalling accounts of mass killing in Kosovo and the pictures of refugees fleeing Serb oppression for their lives makes it clear that this is a fight for justice over genocide.". This led NATO to drop bombs on Yugoslavia [0].

In this conflict Israel has killed ~31 thousand Palestinians and displaced ~2.3 million more [1]. For all its tough talk the Biden administration has responded by selling Israel jet planes [2].

I'm not saying bombing Yugoslavia was justified. But there is plenty of historical precedent to call this conflict genocide.

You are loading the discussion, though? I never made an appeal to efficiency. I only pointed out that "unused most of the time" is pointless. Heck, for schools it is especially pointless, as they are specifically only designed for daytime use during school hours. Would be akin to worrying about how much space you have to set aside to support a stadium for sports. Similarly kept empty the vast majority of the time.

And this is all begging the question that real estate costs are the reason for the child care costs. Per another thread, 70% of costs in child care goes to staffing. Already this calls into heavy question whether or not real estate rules are the main problem.

As I don't think I've said it in this thread, I want to be clear that this is all very appealing to my sensibilities. I want to think a reliance on cars is a huge problem in our towns. I want to think that we can do better. I'm not sold by the case that is being made here, though. And it makes me sad to see shoddy reasoning used to prop up things I want to be the case.

Edit: And I'd still want to see numbers on how often people "lived upstairs" of their job. Unless you count "their job" as making their own clothing, which was rather common, I don't think the numbers work for it. Yes, you had some specific jobs that this happened for, smithing and the like; but many jobs have been service oriented for a long time. Such that this just wasn't a "common" as in "most people do it." It was "common" in "most people that owned a shop lived there." This can feel the same, but it is very different; as most people did not own a shop.

I'm having to take a few deep breaths before responding to some of these comments. The difference is Accountability. A computer can't be held accountable and a person can. Full stop. It makes all the difference.
So, it's a sociopathic AI, I guess, as it kills predominantely children, women, and elderly. Great job, Israel! The king has no clothes - the whole world now nows that Israel is a terrorist and apartheid state!
The capacity for computers to make errors has now far exceeded that of tequila and handguns.

I'm sorry. This is so terrible that humor is the only recourse left to me. We were once afraid of AI drones with guns murdering the wrong people, but now we have an AI that is being used to plan a systematic bombing campaign. Human pilots and all the associated support personal are its tools and liberal quotas have been set on how many of the wrong people are permissible for each strike to hit. Yet again, reality has surpassed science fiction nightmare.

"When people cite deaths from numbers supplied by Hamas, they are parroting terrorist propaganda."

No. Stop it. Numbers provided by the Health Ministry historically have been largely verified. The 30 000+ figure is not in question. All you have is a propaganda talking point doubting its source, not questioning methodology or providing a reasoned alternative figure. The fact Israel can't, and doesn't care enough to, provide numbers of its own IS THE PROBLEM.

Just parrot 'terrorist figures' and you have a license to continue. "Women and kids have killed" as a license to continue killing women and kids. Except you don't and this ugly tribalist brutality will never be forgotten.
Not only are they indescriminately killing, they are purposefully targeting and murdering aid workers that coordinated WITH THE IDF before entering the area.

> why not just use hydrogen directly and skip the inefficiency and cost of direct air capture of CO2 and of making methane?

Because hydrogen sucks. Specifically, storing it sucks.

You'll either compress or liquefy. That costs energy. It leaks and embrittles containers. One of the best ways of storing it in a stable manner is to combine with carbon atoms. Voila, natural gas.
This sounds uncomfortably close to being a metastase.

> Dividends and share buybacks are the exact same thing, just with a different tax treatment.

That depends on the percentage of shares that are liquid. Shares can be locked up in options or other contracts so a buyback disproportionately affects the liquid capitalization rather than the fully diluted capitalization--a pretty significant difference from dividends.

> A share buyback should not in itself produce an increase in share price. You decrease the $ of shares on the market by the exact amount you decrease the $ on your balance sheet.

Decreasing supply while demand remains constant would in fact produce an increase in share price. Of course, demand doesn't remain constant, so it's not a guaranteed increase, but the general principle of supply and demand does apply here.

> An increase in share price is not business growth.

Agreed, but that's sort of the problem--it's supposed to be. One of the flaws of our stock market is that share price is so manipulable in so many ways that it's divorced from the value the company actually creates.
The way this often happens with government programs is that one program has to demonstrably deliver the goods before their competitors lose funding. SLS thus far has done better at this than starship. They do this with a lot of military and military-adjacent contracting - they have multiple companies develop a capability, and then theoretically get some choice about which one to buy from as well as having some strategic redundancy.

In many ways, NASA and others have de-risked their heavy lift capabilities by putting together at least two sources. Artemis has sole-source contracts to both SLS and Starship for separate things, but the program is creating two separate heavy-lift vehicles.

Starship has to innovate its way into orbit first (the most recent flight got the altitude for LEO, but not the velocity) and then around the moon to catch up to where the SLS program is today. As far as I can tell, many space folks outside of SpaceX actually have more concerns about whether Starship can deliver on its promises than whether SLS can.
Not sure how we got to "tens of thousands of children" when even the Hamas reports don't claim that. I think 12,300 is the last claim I saw a little bit back which is not "tens of thousands" but I agree is a large number.

You're assuming the children are evenly distributed and buildings are attacked randomly and evenly. None of which is true.

Many buildings have been demolished with explosives or bulldozers while empty. Many buildings were damaged during combat with walls being breached to provide access.

In many cases buildings were attacked in areas that have been ordered to evacuate. (yes not all cases).

There's no doubt many children have been killed. We've all seen terrible photos of individual children dead. I don't think it's "tens of thousands" and I'm not sure we'll have accurate numbers. Other than that as you note there's a large number of children and so they've definitely and unfortunately impacted.
