I imagined there would be something about solar panels or other influential real world tech but its all crypto, AI and boring finance

It acquiesed for now, soon this knowledge will slip out of its context window

Wow, this used to be the website with the smart comment section.

Now its all David Duke fans.

A military base is a valid target and the barracks can be bombed to death even when everybody is sleeping.

Hezbollah could significantly reduce collateral damage by choosing to sleep in designated bases separated from civilian buildings. It would also make killing them much easier.

AFAIK terrorists dont enjoy the defenses soldiers get from the geneva convention.

And Hezbollah has consistently done worse than going after retired military men.

Why the hell would a trash collector get a pager specialized for secure military communication?

Also dangerous is expensive. If you cause damage you sometimes need to pay for it.

Why would you need surveilance in a genocide? Seems contradictory.

I've read that adding a little bit of graphene can make concrete much stronger, lighter and easy to shape, so would allow for thinner objects.

Over the past 2 years, Elbit stock is up 329%

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't really believe the nonsesne you are writing, and just trolling.

Hah, I'm so used to thinking about these missiles as conventional that I forgot it actually means Iran was building the capability to nuke Europe. Or more accurately - to deter Europe with nukes while they export terrorism globally.

By the time it takes the missiles to reach there, the planes could be in the air.

Conservatives draw towards authoritarian or "strong" leaders reflect this idea, while its at odds with the more individualistic philosophy. There is a cognitive dissonance there.

While Hobbes is dark, he is giving an interesting explanation of how political power actually work, so that even when people are not nice, they can act in a civilized way.I only read a small parts of it and some summaries, from what I understand the crux of the argument doesn't necesserily force democracy or autocracy(although he seem skeptical of democracy) rather it explains the concept of sovereignity, even in a democracy. I once quoted Leviathan in a course assignment to explain why Gandhi's method is effective :)

Well, what is it going to be used for?

Well, you can win the big state lottery if you really khow what you're doing. But you might need to hide in a remote island if you win too much. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/how-to-win...

What is the use case of a dumb, slow, suicide drone for the US army?

I remember the time when Israel shot a missile under a hospital in Gaza and immediately after the head of Hamas, brother of Yehia Sinwar was confirmed dead. Maybe our intelligence isn't that bad after all.

Meanwhile doctors without borders denied seeing any militant activity in hospital, despite e.g one of their doctors turning out to be an Islamic Jihad rocket troops commander, or half the electricty of an hospital being diverted to a bunker right beneath it, or people firing from hospital windows at Al-Shabab anti-hamas militia.

And now they are unwilling to give a list of names of their members to be vetted for operating in the strip.

You really think the IRGC cared about schoolchildren? Give me a break, they used to have child soldiers.

I didn't know there were still fans around for this version of moral relativisim.

The IRGC mass killing of protesters was evil. Objectively so. Anyone thinking otherwise is part of the problem.

He was assasinated during a meeting with many other high ranking members of the regime. I doubt they decided on collective suicide.

Indeed Ghandi's philosophy was far more interesting than his various character flaws. Nobody should learn from Ghandi to be an anti-vaxxer or be a creep, but people should learn about satyagraha and appreciate the immense dedication he put towards it. Its like focusing on Newton being a cruel person to the point of ignoring his scientific gneius.

But the point of my cynical comment was that Ghandi's Idealism is so far from the profit centered mentality of big tech its almost unimaginable that a CEO of such company will stick to pacifism.

The Ghandi of the corporate world is yet to be found

My technique for oatmeal is to warm 1 cup of milk in the microwave with the oatmeal, and boil a cup of water in the kettle. Then add the water to the porridge and mix.

Another easy microwave win is polenta, I sometimes make a polenta-ish porridge with masa flour because its more nutritious and the taste is nice.

Is there really a choice? Network effect means that the company that sells you cars also owns the road, and only allows its cars to drive on it.

What you want is the social graph, but you are forced to also use FBs shitty app to access it. These social media apps never had a single useful feature besides the graph itself.

The guy on the right side doesn't even have elbows.
