It would quite concerning if Israel had non-Zionist (read: not in favour of the existence of Israel) parties.
This was Israel's thinking with Hamas - they're deterred, they're comfortable and in charge and they wouldn't do anything to jeopardise that, etc. Israel's thinking was wrong, and they've learned to believe their enemies when they say they want to destroy Israel. There isn't a country in the world that would allow their enemies, who have repeatedly stated that said country's demise is a key goal of theirs, to develop nukes if they have with the capability to stop it.

You shouldn't ignore it, you should listen carefully, and you should ponder why an enemy state wants it to outrage you.

I don't doubt he said it, because I think it's pretty plain to see it's a correct analysis - antisemitism is rife with the new generation to a degree that, to me at least, is quite scary. I just think it's quite instructive that a hostile state is trying to use this to sow discord.

It would correlate strongly that 8200 alumni end up being educated and working in tech, and likely living in Tel Aviv. This is a group of people who, by and large, are not big fans of the current government.
Based on the pager incident, I'd think you should avoid companies that don't have a publicly-known link to Israel. It's not like Hezbollah thought they were buying pagers from 8200 alumni.

Having been involved in several ISO8583 implementations/integrations, it's really quite wild how different each one was in both structure and required content from one another.
Just a note that the translation in that video is slightly incorrect - he mentions Gaza City, not the Gaza strip.

Then they also die/get injured. Being in close contact with a terrorist is a dangerous pass-time, and armies targeting foreign threats need to accept some level of collateral damage. In this case, we have thousands of injured terrorists, with hundreds dead, and an additional fraction of those numbers being non-military targets (civilians). It's certainly unfortunate and unpleasant, but this is an excellent ratio.

Re:Why Use Onion Layering? on Wednesday July 10, 2024 @08:07AM (#40925995)
Abstracting everything you use has a (high) cost, and doesn't always achieve what you want. This article repeatedly states things "go no further", but realistically, some dependencies will have worse inconveniences than a bad field name. If database you rely on is relational, has token based pagination, and has eventual consistency, chances are that swapping to a consistent timeseries DB with only limit/offset based pagination will impact code in your *.core.* package.

Tangential: at my first company out of uni we worked on software that ran in cars. I had never heard the term "smoke test" during my studies, and for quite a while I thought we were running tests (diagnostics) to check if the car was smoking.
Maybe Pythagoras had a G6PD deficiency. It is more common in males and people with a Mediterranean background[0].

That's not true. What you're seeing here is a map where [1 2 3] is the key for the value :baz

It is, as it should be. I'm struggling to format it nicely here in HN, but I believe that the formatting show here [0] is more readable than JSON or YAML. It gives you type flexibility (instead of JSON's string-only keys). What's the source of your confusion here?

> frequently shot and killed

I'm struggling to find statistics more recent than 2019, but perhaps skipping the anomalous COVID years is for the best. Anyway, in 2019 [0], 89 officers died in the line of duty, of which just under half (44) were due to gun violence. The number of full time police officers in 2019 was in the region of 700k [1]. That's a fatality rate of under 13 per 100,000 - certainly higher than the national average of 3.6, but far less than jobs highlighted as "occupations with high fatal work injury rates" [2] (who are mostly tradespeople or people that operate heavy machinery).

Maybe theoretically true (I'm not sure about the extent of the completeness), but definitely not practically true when it comes to annotation-driven-development frameworks such as Spring.

> Homeless epidemics are really just drug addiction epidemics

The causes of homelessness will vary from place to place, but in Victoria (Australia) health issues (which includes addiction) is only listed as the cause for 2% of homelessness [1]. Now obviously this doesn't necessarily give the whole picture - for example, DV accounts for 35%, but it's possible that the violence is exacerbated by drug use.

There's a browser extension that automatically rejects cookies on these popups - https://consentomatic.au.dk/. I've found it works for most websites.

Hardly, given they're still awaiting trial.
