This sounds like a correction to OP, but I don't think OP expressed any of these opinions.

Incidentally, only 54% of the Brazilian population lives within 150km of the coast. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1bk6x0d/according_...

Fun idea, but it'd be nice to host the page somewhere instead of asking people to set up the stack locally.

This statement vastly understates the difficulty of putting together a coherent written text at length, but nevertheless its central message is true. There is still a big difference between any text generated by a human vs. an LLM.

Second Intifada was more than 20 years ago. Violence in the West Bank these days is overwhelmingly Israelis attacking Palestinians, not vice versa.

As someone who will never fly in one of these planes but will nevertheless hear the (quieter) sonic booms, I disapprove of this move.

Palestinians in Israel are not permitted to convert to Judaism, so no there is no path to assimilate and join the majority. https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/palestinian-requ...

No I don’t support any kind of assistance for the descendants of Holocaust victims. Yes, of course the Holocaust was a vile disgrace, but it was almost a century ago. At some point you have to draw a line under it and allow the descendants — who in many cases never knew the relevant ancestors — to live their own lives.

On the Greek side this has been done, the Greek Lexicon of Personal Names is an effort to find all Greek names down to 600 CE. https://www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk/. You might want to try using that as the basis of your map.

In general the word 'prosopography' might be helpful for you. There's been lots of work over the centuries on analyzing large groups of people in antiquity.

100% disagree.

I mean, probably not wrong that nobody will buy your video game. And if you want to make a video game that’s just for you, go for it.

But there’s also nothing wrong with trying to make games that other people will enjoy and want to play.

Utah Valley University?

Do you keep track of what was deaccessioned and compare that against ILL requests? Otherwise how would you know, unless you happen to remember all the books that have been disposed of?

I disagree that even on their website they’re forthright about what they do with the money. Look at it.

We’re a national Jewish nonprofit providing mentorship, educational support and nurturing year-round environments together with our sister charity Oorah. Whether it’s tailored care from staff in summer camp, the safe haven of afterschool groups, or a mentor's listening ear, we provide the support youth need to thrive. ===

Sure, they use the word Jewish, but they carefully chose language that suggests a) the money goes to a wide range of underprivileged children, not just Jewish children and b) that their programs are traditional support programs, not trips to Israel.

I agree in broad strokes, but who is Aurora and what about the athletic games among the Phaeacians?

The standards in New York for first grade are adding and subtracting within 20. Which state are you thinking of with higher standards?

I just opened maps and took a look. Kinda shocking to me that there doesn’t appear to be an obvious or easy way to add POI data. Google Maps is huge on promoting users to supply UGC.

I don't know Arabic, but I read the English differently. I see "fight against those who X, and those who B, and those who C" as different groups, all of whom one is supposed to fight against.

I find it quite hard to read this passage like you do and see this as evidence of equality of treatment between Muslims and non-Muslims. Even the translator interprets 'religion of truth' to mean Islam.

Plus I think in general you're ignoring the pretty hostile tone of this passage. The jizyah is explicitly intended to be a humiliation ("humbling"). I was skeptical, but I think this passages is strong evidence that the jizyah was intended to "discriminate and oppress" non-Muslims.

“Fight against those who do not believe in Allāh or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allāh and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [i.e., Islām] from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.“

yeah the sparse data being returned from Voyager are the only direct observations ever made of the outer solar system / beyond. Even if the data is humdrum and exactly as expected, that in itself is worth something.

Scala has a similar data structure https://www.scala-lang.org/api/2.13.6/scala/collection/immut.... Something was in the air in 2013.

Love the Ebay link. Where has that been sitting for the last 30 years?

I have no problem with backyard chickens but I do dislike this issue being used by libertarians as a wedge. Property rights shouldn’t be sacrosanct over and above reasonable restrictions by the broader community.

Probably you’re referring to those woman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoda_Muthana
