You are cherry picking. The sale of TikTok conversation goes way back and has little to do with Israel and more to do that they were caught spying on our phones.

> saying "we have a Tiktok problem"

All the more proving my point that TikTok is filled to the brim with anti-semitic content and "Palestine" content is in no way restricted.

> Twitch updated it's Hateful Conduct Policy to say "Zionist" is "hate speech"

Good. Calling for destruction of Israel is hate speech. Which is how "Zionist" is used most of the time.

> suppression by Google and Meta of content about Palestine

That is nonsense. This type of content appears on my TikTok/Reels feeds nonstop even if I don't interact with it.

That's it right there. Rules, not deals.

OpenAI had the the same restrictions. Also required you to verify via Persona. I complained and at some point the restrictions were removed. Not sure if because of my complaining or if someone in our org actually verified.

I knew someone was gonna go there.

No, I am talking about the JR West Rail Pass. Gives you access to local trains, shinkansen, museums and a host of other things.

But the regional passes are still a good deal. If you are in Osaka or Kyoto, and want to take a day trip to Hiroshima, it more than covers the cost, in addition to granting access to various museums plus other benefits.

Why is the WASM demo so fuzzy? I am on Windows/Firefox.

You should probably read the snopes article, because nowhere in it does it say that it was a humorous take on the Information Superhighway hoopla.

You are spreading lies. Easily checked lies.

What groups do you subscribe to? My feed is mostly relatives, friends and their photos. Occasionally there are panels with people I don't subscribe to, which you can press X on and you won't see them again.

The only entity that "passes" laws in this country is Congress.

You mean via executive order? That's not exactly passing a law.

That works for relatively simple scenarios. When you have to add deploying sql changes or something having to update something in the cloud, you'd have to include a lot more plumbing.

I had a good laugh. Well done. Could have used this 20 years ago. If you can figure out how to do this in person, you are golden.

Scrolls fine in FF on a 2020 era Dell laptop.

I have several of these running all sorts of quickie utilities. The key for making things faster (at least for my tasks) was to write everything I need in c#.

For whatever reason, the speed seems far faster than Python for me.

> Provides a lot of ammunition to Israel that is killing thousands of innocents in Gaza and Lebanon

I love how you just casually throw this out there as if it's an accepted fact. Casualty figures in Gaza/Lebanon are heavily disputed and have been from the get go. Hamas health ministry numbers don't distinguish combatants from civilians, ignore Hamas's use of human shields and embedding in civilian areas, or account for misfires/own goals. "Innocents" is subjective in urban warfare against groups like Hamas and Hezbollah (both designated terror orgs by many countries), whose charters and actions explicitly target Israeli civilians.

> weapons will lead to more weapons, more violence and more war

This is naive at best, dangerous at worst - western, white savior thinking. Weakness invites aggression. Example Russia's invasions or Hamas's Oct 7 attack. Deterrence matters and has mattered since day immemorial (cold war, for instance).

Arms races don't automatically lead to wars - they have deeper roots like ideology, territory, resources, etc... One-sided restraint has sometimes led to worse outcomes. Example here would be 1930s appeasement.

What specifically is unsafe in this article?

This would be great for Reddit - the king of rage politics.

It says US-Israel Bloc military deaths - 74. Iran military deaths - 10,500 It has no information what is the source of information. Seems like made up numbers.

WinForms still exist, still supported, still getting new features. And it's open sourced. https://github.com/dotnet/winforms

On Windows, I would chose WinForms. Even today, even over WPF. It's as stable as QT and GTK, still supported, and has a large community of contributors and 3rd party vendors.

> America is at near full employment

Then why does it take months and months for even experienced devs to land a job?

What do you think is going to happen when DDG or Fastmail gets a FISA warrant? You think they will stand their ground and go to prison to protect your info?

History (like the PRISM project) says no.

That's exactly it. In every large corp I ever worked at, the bonuses for managers always depended on whatever company initiative was happening at the time.

Incentives almost always drive the outcome.

I think part of the issue in California at least is that you must have insurance. You gonna get a giant fine if you don't.

You are talking about US.

UK doesn't fund Israel, yet they've had most demonstrations there - still do. Clearly it isn't about the violence (whether in Iran or Israel). It's about Israel.

I don't think there is a problem per se. There are probably still edge cases out there that I didn't experience. But overall, I think the tech is ready to roll.

We've had FSD trial for 4 months in the middle of last year. I work from home so I can't really justify $100 a month. However, we did take a few trips (about 60 miles in each direction) to see family through downtown LA.

I was honestly stunned by how far the tech has come. It basically drove us door to door without a single intervention.

> many vehicles ... are almost indistinguishable

That is so right on the money. I attended the LA Auto Show a couple of months back and the takeaway was that every manufacturer pretty much makes the same safe car. There might be a feature here and feature there, but it's the same car.

In the years past they at least had lots of concept cars. This year, I maybe saw two and they weren't all that "concept".
