I don't think that has stopped anything so far, but I appreciate your optimism.

It all sounds great. Which government? Is it a different regime? If not, why would the US concede?

This is just completely false. There are multiple countries capable of killing their own by those numbers. All of them are equally disgusting, and should all be held accountable.

How many changes to production systems does Cloudflare make throughout a day? Are they a part of any change management process? That would be the first place I would check after a random outage, recent changes.

It assessed the lab theory as "likely", although it did not have definitive proof.

Correlation does not equal causation my friend.

Plenty of people were able to talk about lab leak conspiracies. That is why we are still debating it today.

Because that is a bold claim to make. There is no proof of a lab leak and evidence leads to the wet market as the source. There is a debate out there for 100k to prove this. Check it out.

I can definitely understand that. I just have a hard time justifying the value of learning this way at scale. Just the energy costs alone are out of hand.

I think the primary difference would be they didn't waste billions of dollars in their research.

I just can't get over how gleeful the author sounds in wasting compute on "an often unreasonable amount of work to search the internet and figure out an answer."

Is that the goal? Send this thing off on a wild goose chase, and hope it comes back with the right answer no matter the cost?

Its interesting that you did not quote any of my reply while accusing me of "willfully misrepresenting or twisting what others are saying into something slightly different". The goal was for me to make sure I understood what you are communicating.

It seems we agree. The internet was much more available 15 years again in 2010 than it was prior. Since then, unlimited opportunity has opened to research each perspective, and even share those with people across the world.

At no point in this thread have a resorted to name calling, I hope your day is better.

Are you suggesting that if you are from the US, you are unable to form an opinion of the facts that are presented from both sides?

I did have to go to school some time ago, but I also gained access to the internet during that time that allows anyone to research both sides of a topic. There are tons of books available that provide descriptions from both sides.

Why do I have to be on one side or the other? Is it because of my push back against a specific side, you assumed I aligned with the other?

If we can't agree on terms, how do we make sure we understand each other?

I want to understand what your expectations of Israel were after October 7th. I believe my questions have been very specific, but I realize you have no desire to have an actual discussion. Good day.

This is going to be difficult if we just assume my positions before allowing me the opportunity. What would be an acceptable number to you?

If you would kindly provide your definition of genocide, I will happily engage.

How can we ever have a good faith argument if you believe anyone that says something supportive of Israel has been indoctrinated to do so "most of their lives"?

I agree better incentives are needed for community hosting.

Co-location is still readily available. Which service and reliability improvements are you looking for that competent sys admins couldn't provide with multiple co-lo's? Not everyone made the cloud jump.

To be fair, everyone's account was that age at one time. I'd prefer we all engage with their words.

While I completely understand the slippery slope concept, we ban all kinds of things for under 18s based on morals. Why couldn't these be any different? How else does a society decide as a whole what they are for or against. Obviously, there should be limits.

I agree with that point. However, I don’t believe Netanyahu or the Israeli government glorify the death of their own people.

It’s not justifying killing civilians. It is justified for Israel to attempt to get their kidnapped citizens back. Hamas could minimize this, but you and I both know that maximizing Palestinian death is their preference.

I know he likes to insinuate that, but it’s simply not true.

While you are correct it wasn’t a war, but neither is this technically.

Imagine how much more time is on the toilet. I’m sure we have some book readers, but I remember reading the label of random items within arms reach.

It’s possible they had to use part of the runway that most other takeoffs don’t need to extend to. Just pure speculation.

Absolutely have run into that. In those instances they keep excel, or we move that data to a different platform for consumption.

Where would you recommend them go to have a honest discussion about it? Many are likely yearning for such a place.

I have a related experience. Our project was moving from Office 365 to Google Workspace. Lot's of Windows PCs replaced with Chromebooks.

Over a year after completion, many users still have Excel and we do lots more app virtualization. I will say the biggest hurdle that still remains today, users accepting and adjusting to change. The migration also exposed lots of unknown user-created processes that no longer worked as usual, making it difficult for them to transition.

Overall, most users made the necessary adjustments, did the training provided, and are excelling. There's always that subset that can't, or maybe won't.

Big fan of this app! It makes it so easy for the beginner bird watcher to immediately get results. Sound ID is mostly what I spend my time in.

I do find myself wishing Sound ID would identify additional wildlife beyond birds. Anyone heard of such a project?

Another app I enjoy is Seek by iNaturalist!

Plenty of better places to debate it.

I often see this comment, but there are never any sources provided. Any links to share?

Just as well as it could be “less bots” promoting one side, to “more bots” promoting the other. What types of war would you not consider a crime?
