runarberg is not interested in getting to some commonly understood truth, he's only interested in spreading his propaganda. If you examine your conversation with him through this lens, it makes perfect sense. He continues to repeat lies that you've pointed out don't make any sense. He makes sure to repeat his unfounded claim that "They are definitely committing genocide" as he does in nearly every comment he's made in the last 2 weeks, regardless of how wrong he's shown to be. If you start to back him into a corner, he's begin to deny very obvious truths like Jewish people have a historical connection to that area and continues to claim, without any basis that he's simply repeating what the ICJ has said, when the president of the council very clearly said the opposite.

She was very explicit in her words, there's no need to read into them, she meant exactly what she said.

She very clearly stated, they didn't find or make any ruling on the plausibility of genocide, just that it was plausible that they might not be able to be protected in a case where a genocide were to happen.

They couldn't honestly claim there was any merit to the claim of genocide, but people were screaming for blood so they did this doublespeak thing where if you squint you can claim they 100% claim genocide is happening to mollify the anti-semites while not actually saying anything.

Essentially, she said, "we haven't found a genocide, but were a genocide to be attempted, it would be difficult to prevent" which is true in every single case of war, especially asymmetric warfare, where one side is much stronger than the other.

If someone were to bring a case against the US back in 2004 following the invasion of Iraq a similar finding would be totally within reason... but does anyone claim NATO committed genocide? No, but it's plausible that that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Iraqi right to be protected from genocide.

Just look at this guy's comment history, it's all there. He denies Jewish history, erases the reality that Jews are undeniably linked to Israel and calls for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the ME. All the while making spurious unfounded accusations against Jews. I engaged with him for a long time, but ultimately found him to be dishonest and not interested in holding a critical curious discussion.

If you actually listened to what she said you'd know that's not at all what was decided, all they decided was that SA has plausible standing to bring a case. Not that the case itself has any standing. That was left for a future decision.

Yup, the path usually looks something like:

Service desk job > L2 > L3 > company pays for a bunch of cloud training so they don't have to pay for another consultant > DevOps

or

CE/CS intern > tasked with implementing stuff in clouds > hired as Jr SWE, but still tasked with doing those devopsy things that the real devops team doesn't wanna do > jump a few times, each time still taking on devopsy stuff > Sr DevOps Admin

> Did they just fire it to Israel for no reason?

No, they had a very good reason: They hate Jews and do not believe Jews have any right to national sovereignty in their own land.

This is simply false: in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq9MB9t7WlI

The court ruled that South Africa had plausible standing to bring a case defending Gazans, not that there was plausible genocide. Bringing wikipedia as a source about a very hot topic doesn't lend any support to your argument.

It’s so interesting that you’ve taken away all agency from the Palestinians, or you believe as an absolute rule that giving someone money automatically makes them do chaotic evil things. And that the encourager of the monetary transaction (not the giver or recipient) is solely responsible for any harm or chaos that ensues.

This whole thread is so strange, people keep claiming Palestinians cannot be trusted to rule themselves, while at the same time accusing Israel of genocide for not giving them the ability to rule themselves.

Its a good primer on getting into DevOps, but in today's market you need a lot more experience than this book can give you, especially following all the layoffs.

It appears you got banned for advocating for and supporting genocide and spreading misinformation. If you believe the Hamas/Palestine Oct 7th attack was a justified act of defense then you cannot have any problem with the wholesale slaughter of civilians anywhere. killing over 200 defenseless teenagers at a concert is not an act of defense, to construe it as such is to advocate for terror.

When people ask, “why don’t the Palestinians do more to defend themselves?” they generally mean doing defensive things, such as building anti-rocket defenses or bomb shelters like Israel does to protect their citizens. They don’t mean, “why didn’t the Palestinians attempt to commit more terrorist acts of genocide sooner?”

Also advocating for the bombing of a border crossing that has aid coming through it is a great way to prevent all future aid from passing through it. No one wants to be sitting target and if you start bombing the hand that feeds you the aid will stop. And the border crossing will be turned into a wall with snipers pointed at it.

As Jordan, Egypt, and the Lebanese government (until Hezbollah took over) have show, the solution to this conflict is very simple: make peace with Israel, sign trade agreements and you will prosper.

Likely sunk cost fallacy. Space flight is still new enough that starting from scratch lets you use all the lessons that were learned from your predecessors while not getting stuck in the muck of institutional inertia. And you still aren't that far behind the more experienced competition. Unlike say, a commodity like candles that doesn't have anything new to discover, and the existing manufactures cannot be out innovated.

This likely won't work in the way you expect, SO is similar to wikipedia in that it retains all edits and allows other highly ranked users to edit your answers, additionally, there are already many snapshots of your answer that were fed into all the various AIs so all you'd be doing now is hurting new developers who are attempting to solve the issue you answered.

I wish you wouldn't do that, you end up hurting regular developers more.

> Our policy is to not regard DEI as a metric of value

can you expand on what this means practically and how it differs from others?

Only if you really squint, but at that level you too are enacting the meme… but who cares? If the shoe fits…

He says on his $1000+ device, that was the result of a billion plus man hours of R&D.

Right, I don't think anyone expects him to actually save exactly 1 trillion trees. the article is paywalled so I can't see it, but the title appears overly negative for what is likely a good thing.

I don't use 1Password (I've tried dashlane, lastpass, and bitwarden), so I'm curious what the actual implications of this are. I don't think I've ever looked at the name of my password vault. Obviously changes should be communicated with advance notice but it's odd that anyone cares. There just seems to be a lot of anger/aggression that feels either misdirected or overblown.

I was referring to the replies on twitter, you'll notice I was one of the first people to comment here, so I didn't see how hn reacted, I was going off the gleeful tweet and responses

Semi off topic, but what happened to this website, used to be the top result when searching for services, now even when I search alternative to x it often won’t be on the first page.

Its fascinating that people think this is a good thing and even more interesting that they find the joke acceptable...

why is "something went wrong"[0] considered a useful notification?

so do we trust it?

IRS or your county assessor? Does the IRS have anything to do with property taxes?

Yea there are cottage industries on top of cottage industries in the medical insurance space. First you have the first order: DR supplies service, bills patient’s insurance, then you have the hospitals who outsource all billing, those outsourced companies outsource the claims management, which outsource the claims response, and the exact same structure exists on the insurance company side. And I’ve simplified a lot… there are coder companies, insurance coder consultants, etc. it’s totally wild.

If you ever wonder why. US medicine is so expensive: it’s bec there are 100 hands all reaching for their piece of your $120 annual checkup.

Or put another way, HIPPA is nice and all, but by the time all is said and done, 8-10 pairs of strangers eyes have seen your vagina fungus infection pharmacy bill.

I know you’re kinda joking but, The problem with socialism isn’t the voluntary organizations that people can join or leave at will, it’s the forced involuntary labor that is always brought about. Capitalism is about voluntary mutually beneficial partnerships which this is.

> Plus YC itself is one giant 'who wants to be funded' operation.

Yea, that’s kinda what I thought when I saw this question, YC is basically all about getting startups funded, hn is basically in service of that goal, creating a thread specifically to compete with yc doesn’t seem like something hn would do.

My first question was at what distance, and looks like it’s 100ft. Which isn’t bad, but then they say it’s used high frequency spectrum that is even more susceptible to interference than 5G, so not that interesting.

This feels like a very fake listicle, no one in their right mind is recommending reactOS as a daily driver, it’s fun project but it’s just not anywhere close to ready for prime time.
