I am confusing nothing. Israel claims the West Bank is part of Israel, and with IDF troops marching through the West Bank and settlements popping up everywhere, it is de facto Israel, and according to Israel, de jure Israel.

Can an Arab in the West Bank vote in the Israeli elections? No. Thus, Israel is not a democracy. The article questioned if Islam was conducive to democracy. On that basis, we have to question whether Judaism is conducive to democracy. Meir Kahane did not think it was, and his policies are what are being carried out on the West Bank.

"Palestinians voted for their own leadership". What does this mean? Can they vote for MPs in the Israeli Knesset? No. Can they vote for representation in a country that Israel or the US recognizes? No.

You moved to Australia. Arabs have been living in Jericho for thousands of years. Yet they are not allowed to vote for any government of a country recognized by Israel or the US. Yet an ultraorthodox Russian off the plane from Russia in a new settlement next to Jericho can vote in the Israeli election. People in the West Bank were invaded in an offensive war in 1967 and stripped of their rights. You moving to Australia was your choice. They had no choice.
The author of this extension has single handedly turned me into a Chrome user. I was getting slaughtered by performance issues caused by the combination of AdBlock Plus and NoScript on my system.

His HTTP Switchboard extension, which is the equivalent of NoScript is very efficient and works very well in combination with AdBlock Plus.

uBlock is an Adblock replacement which should only get better.

If Chrome gets its own version of Tab Groups Manager and Tree Style Tabs I may switch over completely from Firefox.

NARWHL – A Practical API Design Framework
I like the look. A question: I have always used the "The Haskell Platform" download page and installer. The new download page looks like it is just Haskell, cabal, and default libraries.

I am running ghc version 7.6.3 and cabal version 1.16.0.2.

Haskell experts: should I do a fresh install? (I am on OS X and Ubuntu).

Pinnacle Entertainment Group, Las Vegas, NV.

A young, growing, high-energy casino group seeks a quantitative and critical thinker to join as a (possibly Sr.) Analyst. You will work with customer data to help make strategic business decisions/recommendations related both to our casino floors and to our direct mail marketing program.

Your work will have a direct impact on our bottom line. Think: "Moneyball" meets marketing. If you get excited by data, prediction, inference, and Las Vegas, this is probably a good fit for you.

Official job posting at: https://www.hrapply.com/pnkinc/AppJobView.jsp?link=46072

I would prefer someone with a few years of analytics/data experience, but if you are good with SQL, have a quantitative degree (preferably math/cs, but this is negotiable -- we have some really good folks with econ backgrounds), and can demonstrate that you're a smart and quick-thinking data geek, I'd love to chat with you.

There is room for growth within the company, and I'm really excited about where our group is headed. We're automating and standardizing processes and reporting, building predictive models, developing test methodology and analyses, and becoming a key and highly visible business partner to many groups throughout the company.

It's not just the impossible click targets, it's the layout, too. It's pretty much impossible to read, even in landscape mode, without constant horizontal scrolling.
Overall, I agree with this comment. (Y-meter is visually too complex, # comments too far right, etc.) One point not mentioned is that UX for viewing comments is much worse for web users, since the link is now so far from other links.

While I think hacker news could use a redesign, I think you focused on the wrong aspects. I think the #1 goal would have to be to make it responsive / mobile-friendly over any sort of new visualization of points. Beyond that, I think the question is more about typography than visual design. A single # seems the simplest/clearest way to represent points, but the question is just where it fits in the visual hierarchy, font, color, etc.

I would not put too much thought into a modern web design that does not consider different screen sizes.

Note that it includes programs like Medicaid, which are more efficient than private sector insurance: http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=4023. It also includes things like the earned income tax credit. Is there an army of federal lawyers involved in distributing that money? Probably more like some code in some program. It also includes programs like TANF, where only 12% of grants can be allocated to overhead.

Wait, what? Are you limiting that to people who work in an area where they might possibly come into contact with it? Because otherwise you might find it fun to ask the next hundred people you meet what "variola" is.
In those cases, the elements of the full name of the country in question are each common nouns rather than proper nouns. Thus, "The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" is more useful/appropriate than "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" because without the "The", it's not clear that the name describes a unique entity rather than a generic union of soviets.

The "Try It" section really needs to have the text cursor be active anywhere I can click on the box to type. At first it made me think that I had to move over to the grey bracket-cursor (and thus a little frustrating/confusing/unexpected). Especially since I can click to the right (when the cursor is a normal pointer) and it gains focus.

This page is strongly trying to convert a viewer, the experience can be smoothed here.

it is everybody's responsibility to save the Internet. Google is one of the companies that makes a shit-ton of money off of it, defines new standards for it, and in many ways is shaping it. That gives them an enormous amount of power, so their contribution to saving the internet should be proportionately large.

I also think Google has a moral responsibility in that the only reason they exist is that the Internet started out as an open platform that they could index and serve search results for. Not keeping the Internet open smacks of enormous ingratitude.

It is still the case that using DNSChain will not get you validated SSL for .bit domains without additional software. It can serve DANE records, but the browser won't verify them and the existing browser extensions for adding DANE support require DNSSEC which DNSChain does not provide.
> 1. It is an error to couple this library closely enough to the rest of a project's code to cause the condition you note to exist.

Any compilation unit (source file/module) which calls a function in this library will have to be recompiled if any of the called functions change which means that your application will also have to be re-linked. There's just no way of getting around that.

Google would actually do very well with a more restricted internet. They're a big enough player that they can either pay off or threaten the various oligopolistic ISPs.

That's not as true for their competitors, especially startups. And anything that hurts startups generally will make it much easier for them to acquire good companies at low prices.
Please note this homepage is NOT final and it's going to see revisions before we push it out to the actual website, including many tweaks to the content and probably some styling tweaks too.

Another suggestion would be more examples under the clear concise code bit--possibly in a carousel.

Additionally, all examples could be loaded into the "Try It" section, so I could type `take 4 primes` or something.

Instead, in my attempt to load the primes function.. I was met with this bit.

Come on now, you don't need to be "female, teenager and from Japan". "Emoji" are simply "emoticons" aka "smilies". People all over the world have been familiar with those from instant messengers going back to the 90s.

And before graphical "emoticons" people have been using ASCII smilies going back to the 80s on IRC.

If someone doesn't get the appeal, the reason is much simpler - they don't text chat a lot. That's fine. If they would, they'd instantly see the need, because plain text can't by itself properly support the subtlety of what one says in a conversation.
It is. It also happens to be very good at reporting live rocket hits fast, which makes it a valuable resource regardless of their politics (which I don't agree with).
Hey guys,
I run a nonprofit that helps kids in Africa receive an education, so I launched a campaign to raise some money online yesterday. If any of you guys would be willing to show your parents the link if they're interested in donating, that would be extremely helpful. It is tax deductible if you're wondering!
These kids are extremely intelligent, but due to financial circumstances outside of their power, they struggle immensely with school fees. If we can ensure these kids receive a proper education, they will contribute positively to their countries, Nigeria and Tanzania, and the world in the future.

Even if you don't want to donate, sharing the link with some friends would be helpful as well.

Thanks!

a) seeking the test,

b) acting on the results of the test in a rational way,
and

c) not piling up other health risks meanwhile.

Given a disease with no cure or treatment, it may actually be rational to NOT seek a diagnosis (or "potential diagnosis") prior to experiencing symptoms. Put another way, what exactly would "acting on the results in a rational way" entail for someone who is currently asymptomatic?

>much work remains to be done to tackle Alzheimer disease and further prolong healthy lifespan for the patients at risk for that disease.

I think the researchers agree with that statement. Another child of your comment mentioned that this is likely more valuable to researchers than tested patients at this point, and I would agree. As the article mentioned, it is believed that treatments started earlier in the disease would be more effective, and the capacity to diagnose earlier in order to test novel agents may well be the most valuable aspect of testing at this point.

Here is my thoughts about this post while I patiently wait for my dogecoin from Joyce...

It's understood a lot of poor people are not part of the banking financial system but I don't think it's just because they are poor. Most people I think opt out because of general ignorance or are hiding from something (involved in criminal activity, owe child care/alimony, etc).

I enjoy a free checking account with no minimum balance and don't have ATM fees if use one of my bank's machines. Overdraft fees? Just don't spend more money then you have in your account. It's not that hard...

On digital currency like Bitcoin, I am just not on board yet. It seems to just be a niche thing right now that most people seem into merely for speculation. It's not close to being like a real currency and doubt it will be anytime soon.

That is true, most of the participants on Rotter hold views that are despicable and couldn't be further away from my beliefs.

However, Rotter has time and again proven to be the best news community on the Israeli internet, bringing breaking news and alerts as they happen.

Also, note that all the hate speech on Rotter always takes place in the thread comments, never in the headlines, which is what we use for @rotternews.

Basic universal income for all is redistribution -- assuming that it is supported by a tax system that doesn't make it completely pointless instead. E.g., if you do it in a system where the only tax is a straight no-exceptions, no-variations capitation and the taxed population and the recieving population are the same, then its not redistribution, but its not actually doing anything but altering the effective amount of the capitation, either.
