GEO blocking is not the same as blocking based on nationality. I'd like(?) to think someone in this decision chain realized "restricting to US nationals" meant effectively restricting it to all and chose this route knowing Antrophic would need to just pull the model (so engaging in censorship without calling it that, possibly less susceptible to court challenges).

Illiberal democracy is a chimera. Hungary and Poland get to play make believe while safely ensconced in the European Union which they feign to detest. Elsewhere the equation is: no separation of powers = authoritarian regime of some kind // robust separation of powers = modern democracy. Even in ancient Athens there was gradual understanding that assembly decisions require constitutional review, hence the introduction of the γραφή παρανόμων

You substituted the executive with the legislative which is telling, whether you did so in good faith or not. The reality is that Israeli parliament is weak and nearly wholly controlled by the government. Harari's point is that there is no force to counterbalance the executive other than the courts. If there was the court could possibly be weakened with democracy remaining somewhat intact. But of course the goal is not to restore checks and balances but unlimited executive power.

Yes secular Israelis could very well be toast if trends continue. What exactly do you think will be the fate of the messianic elements in that scenerio? On that note, happy tisha beav.

Recently took my 12 inch MacBook on a multi day hiking trip (it survived!). Anything heavier would have been a nightmare.

No need for bundling really. I subscribe to a major American news source for $2/month. Their algorithm figured out that's what i'm willing to pay and got it right. I assume that for most big publishers this could work (possibly through some process of price discovery and segmentation to capture those willing to pay more).

I also subscribe to a patreon for $3/momth - for small publishers this obviously works too (again alongside higher tier plan options).

The problem is the middle sized publishers, they likely need higher revenue per subscriber to survive.

Unless there is a scenerio where one team really doesn't want the other to get even a point?

Speaking of NHL and weird rules iirc there's an emergency goalie that can be pulled out of the crowd to fill in for either team.

As others have said it would not be offside under current rules, but to answer your question the only realistic way to defend against an own goal would be time wasting, faking injury, geberally keeping the ball away from the 16 yard box.

Curious to know if the demolition of a 12 lane highway made traffic better or worse?

Constrained generation i've found to produce the most creative-like results.

Example: The stench of smoke and blood filled their nostrils as they crouched behind a fallen tree, its splintered trunk providing the only cover from the relentless hail of bullets, their heart hammering in their chest, threatening to burst free, as sweat mingled with dirt on their face, catching the frightened gaze of their comrades, their eyes wide with terror yet burning with determination, knowing they were all in this together with no turning back, seizing the opportunity as the gunfire briefly subsided, yelling "Move up! We've got to take that hill!" their voice breaking through the deafening cacophony of war, breaking cover without hesitation, boots pounding the earth as they ran through the hellish landscape, explosions erupting all around, the concussive force rattling their bones and sending tremors through the ground beneath their feet, seeing a fellow soldier fall, his anguished cry piercing their soul, diving to his side, dragging him into the meager cover of a shallow trench, his blood staining their hands, no time to mourn, continuing their charge, every muscle screaming in protest, lungs pleading for air, cresting the hill, the enemy bunker coming into view, sprinting towards it with a final surge of adrenaline, their hand shaking as they lobbed a grenade inside, the explosion tearing through the bunker, debris flying like deadly shrapnel, winning this small battle, but the weight of the war still pressing down on their shoulders, gazing out at the smoke-choked battlefield, wondering how many more battles they'd have to endure before the war was truly over.
