Re:UK launches its first Earth-imaging military satellite on Monday August 19, 2024 @08:59AM (#41290675)
Presumably part of the nuclear doctrine is to take out your enemies nuclear launch sites before they launch

Also, even large cities have places which are better to target

Re:UK launches its first Earth-imaging military satellite on Sunday August 18, 2024 @03:25PM (#41284716)
so I assume Britain received its imaging intelligence from the US as part of five eyes. or else I cannot explain how a nuclear armed country has skipped over one of the main prerequisite for missile targeting for 60 years
Re:UK launches its first Earth-imaging military satellite on Sunday August 18, 2024 @12:44PM (#41283407)
yes which only makes sense they were used to support five eyes sigint and used US satellites for visint
Re:UK launches its first Earth-imaging military satellite on Sunday August 18, 2024 @07:27AM (#41281684)
which one of these programs constitute of a military reconnaissance satellite?
Re:UK launches its first Earth-imaging military satellite on Sunday August 18, 2024 @06:19AM (#41281430)
It sounds like extremely late to the game, we are talking about 1960s tech.

Very surprising for a country as large as the UK, I can only assume they used US satellites up until now, and started designing their own due to Trump

cppinsights looks like what I was looking for, there's even a vscode extension thanks

Is there a C++ tool that adds/shows all the implicit stuff that happens behind the scenes?

Such as all the constructors that are being added, implicit copy constructor and all the other surprises?

they are pretty bad at exterminating the palestinian population don't you think?

There are 14 million palestinians worldwide, continuing the current pace, without accounting for any natural growth, it will only take Israel 291 years to exterminate the palestinian population better hurry and protest before it's too late

There are some issues with the code he's criticizing (createPluralDependentMessageParts is satire), but his infatuation with ternary operators makes his code a mess
and is also a window to the guy's psyche, which makes me believe the line where he was "the most demanding intern" they had
Re:Snowflake, Cloud Storage Giant, Suffers Breach on Saturday June 01, 2024 @05:22AM (#40544166)
Care to explain how a conflict between two national groups that are indigenous to the same land is similar to a racial system of segregation including beaches and restrooms, based on race theory with different racial classifications?

Or are you using a word that describes something different just because it evokes negative emotions?

Re:Snowflake, Cloud Storage Giant, Suffers Breach on Saturday June 01, 2024 @04:13AM (#40543830)
NSO wasn't founded by 8200 alumni, however companies such as the following were:

* Checkpoint

* Palo Alto Networks

* Waze

* Wiz

* Cybereason

Does your theory hold up? no, but why not generalize

Re:The t-test was invented at the Guinness brewery on Monday May 27, 2024 @05:53AM (#40489260)
that's only when taking only palestinians into account. When the balfour declaration was signed already 10% of then population was jewish.

Mass killings of jews had already started in eastern europe decades before the holocaust. which was what prompted zionism. This is not a singular event, but a movement that would happen with the british or without them.

And any result of the conflict would cause serious "disaster" for one people or another

Re:The t-test was invented at the Guinness brewery on Monday May 27, 2024 @01:07AM (#40487729)
depends on who you ask, for german jews under the nazis before world war 2, it was almost the only place to go to, and definitely saved them from certain death in places like the netherlands. not to mention after world war 2 for those who came back from the camps and found their homes taken.

moreover zionism did not start with the balfour declaration, but decades before with mass killings of jews in eastern europe

There are some things that a small startup like Rewind can do, that a large company like Microsoft can never get away with.

It's more in the feelings space than rational space, just like privacy in general

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Wednesday May 08, 2024 @01:31PM (#40300761)
And it is different how? the point being is that incident was falsely blamed on the IDF while it was a Palestinian rocket misfire
Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Wednesday May 08, 2024 @01:28PM (#40300700)
It's not, before Oct 7 the PIJ was regarded as some different more extreme counterpart to Hamas.

After they fought and coordinated together, raped, massacred and kidnapped, I don't see the difference anymore

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Monday May 06, 2024 @01:48PM (#40277341)
Yes, this is actually PIJ, I was referring to the colloquial referral as Hamas to all Palestinian organizations in Gaza. Colloquial use that OP seemed to be using.

Also they do coordinate their fighting and if you read the last link also their propaganda

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Monday May 06, 2024 @01:34PM (#40277142)
Are American citizens allowed to have opinions that are similar to the opinions of the state of Israel?

It seems you think Israel has direct finance or control interest in AIPAC, do you have something to support that?

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Monday May 06, 2024 @04:37AM (#40272502)
I was not comparing them, and I think this is dishonest to read my comment that way. I was giving an example of the way democracies around the world restrict free speech in order to defend other rights

This is quite popular in europe and is a result of lesson learned from the nazis

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Monday May 06, 2024 @04:35AM (#40272488)
only these are not financed by the israeli government
Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Sunday May 05, 2024 @06:19PM (#40269062)
In most of the world outside of the United States, there are laws that relate to the concept of a "defensive democracy". For example the laws that outlaw display of swastikas in Germany are contradictory with freedom of speech but are aimed at denying a democracy being exploited by extreme groups (see ww2).

The discussion here is about the actions of Israel versus Al Jazeera, not a possibility of banning Al Jazeera in the United States or maybe Israeli viewpoints.

Also, I am pretty sure Israeli spendings to push Israeli narratives in the US are minuscule, especially compared to Qatar's.

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Sunday May 05, 2024 @05:50PM (#40268805)
about which part? The IDF rape claim was later denied by the same woman claiming it happened as well as an Al Jazeera journalist. https://twitter.com/abuhilalah/status/1771996521312973088

However, Al Jazeera never corrected the story, just took it down, which is just as OP reported: "We can draw the line when they report proven false information and never apologize for reporting so."

Re:Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices on Sunday May 05, 2024 @05:41PM (#40268724)
The difference is that Times of Israel is privately owned, while Al Jazeera is operated by an authoritarian government. also the information I posted can be found in other places. However, if you think a government that promotes modern slavery is probably a good source for journalism, that's your choice to make.
