You can buy VTI which takes about 7% allocation in every IPO, but I heard there is research by some folks at Harvard and practiced by dimensional fund advisors‘ funds that buying IPOs ~two years later is slightly better?
And then they used it to one up everything the world has seen in that region in recent past.
It seems unlikely that the IDF will do anything to an international peace force operating in Gaza (not Israel) under a combined lead of France and the UK.
Anyway, it would exactly only take one country - the US - to stop shipping weapons (to credibly threaten to stop) to bring this to an end so fast that you can‘t even finish breakfast.
And how many rapes and to what level of systematicity do you need it to raise to your attention?

> During the ongoing Gaza war, Israeli male and female soldiers, guards, medical staff have reportedly committed wartime sexual violence against Palestinian women, children and men[1][2][3][4] including rape, gang-rape, sexualized torture and genital mutilation.[5][6][7][8][9]
Both the US and Israel would have been better off not reacting at all than this.
That’s a pretty salient fact when you have the might of such a military on your side.
I find it funny how I am at the same time supposed to accept that Palestinian (leaders) are all terrorists and also that Israel justifiably act equally terrible. The whole point of being a respectable state is to not commit crimes (and kill family members „unfairly“).
But this is happening right now and the majority underage population starving to death right now is on Israel‘s watch.
Back to the conspiracy ^^
The data wall idea of needing 10 more internets is like the peak oil theory of the 2000s, imho. I don’t think 10 more internets are required, and all those tasks like proper security and i18n, none of these require creativity of any kind. These are ideal candidates for LLMs to solve quite soon.
But to talk about the data wall more: Current SOTA LLMs are trained on circa 30-50T tokens. First, that is not a full internet‘s worth; it is estimated that Meta owns more like 200T tokens of user data etc. Second, the work in optimizing for data efficiency is just beginning.
Give it two years.
