Sorry, A single mistaken strike isn't indiscriminate bombings of schools.

> Houthis used to only attack Israeli ships

Houthi attacked non-Israeli ships as well. So it does change the route or at least make it riskier and before opening the "pandora's box".

What does the Hormuz have to do with Bab El Mendab? The Houthi attacked red sea routes before any "Pandora's box" was opened.

> United States decided that our children shouldn't have the right to grow up in this world.

What makes you believe this great exaggeration? If it was true USA would have nuked Iran and Iraq to kingdom come ages ago.

HappyPanacea··on If math is more than proof, we need to better celebrate the rest of it
“You are right. There is nothing in yesterday’s mathematics that you can prove with exterior algebra that could not also be proved without it. Exterior algebra is not meant to prove old facts, it is meant to disclose a new world. Disclosing new worlds is as worthwile a mathematical enterprise as proving old conjectures.” Gian-Carlo Rota in “Indiscrete Thoughts”

> If a soldier on the ground had called in the airstrike, there is a good chance they would be in military prison.

No, they wouldn't and neither would they in any other military; most militaries don't punish most war crimes let alone what looks like negligence.

HappyPanacea··on An update on Wayback Machine access
This tells us more about your bias then Wikipedia bias, observe that WWII and Bosnian War have their own Wikipedia articles regardless of any genocide occurring in them.
HappyPanacea··on An update on Wayback Machine access
This is not really true in my experience aside from protected articles; however it is true that sometimes another human will make an edit which degrade the article quality or insist on keeping something that shouldn't be kept. Also, Articles on contentious subjects tend to be problematic.
HappyPanacea··on Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing
very few people like or use it -> browser loses market share

I very much doubt trying weird things meaningfully changed their market share (aside from UI redesigns)

HappyPanacea··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
This poll don't show "the curse upon the Jews victory to Islam" and shooting random vessels and taking crew hostages are making Houthi or Houthi further expansion liked in the west.
HappyPanacea··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
The western audience doesn't need the hint to dislike it - the curse upon the Jews victory to Islam and shooting random vessels and taking crew hostages (very relevant here) are doing the job just fine.
HappyPanacea··on The revolt of the reader
This argument doesn't work, the average majority of humans are bad at math but recent LLM aren't.
HappyPanacea··on Formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem
It seems unlikely to find 1920 level or so proof although it might be the case that a significantly easier/shorter proof exits via Vandiver conjecture + extra work or Effective Mordell conjecture but it also wouldn't surprise me if that would be even more complicated than the current proof of FLT.

HappyPanacea··on Bomb fishing is wreaking havoc on Indonesia's coral reefs
So according to you, American Revolutionary War was a separatist movement but not an independence struggle? > Head over to reddit where your trolling will be welcomed.

Race is a term with a rather vague meaning, if I remember genetics correctly both groups here belongs to the East Asian branch of Humanity although to distant branch, which made me question what the different races are here, understanding you definition of race would have been helpful to understand why you used it instead of ethnic groups.

No trolling here, your weird definition of an independence struggle was definitely a good reason to ask you to define your terms.

> It's not a separatist movement, but an independence struggle.

What's the difference?

> And the Javanese of Indonesia aren't just a different tribe, they've a completely different race from completely different lands.

Why would that matter? Would it be okay if they were the same race? How do you define race?

You underestimate the difficulty of RH, there are far easier problems broadly related to RH (density hypothesis, Artin's holomorphy conjecture, Stark conjectures) which are still aren't solved.
