According to the UN, during the 2014 conflict there were 5 Israeli civilian deaths and 1500 Palestinian civilians killed. Seems pretty justified to me!

I like to rile up the Mossad reputation management folks ever since I found them copy-pasting the same "please no simplified propaganda" retorts from multiple accounts on HN a while back.

Edit: To see the obvious sockpuppetry I'm referring to, look at https://hn.algolia.com/?query=please%20no%20simplified%20pro...

Edit 2: Yep, keep the downvotes coming. It doesn't matter that I have hard evidence of Israeli nationalist manipulation of HN.

While, yes, you can't run CERN on a raspberry pi, the performance limitations of the underlying CPU are a fundamentally separate problem (unless you're developing for a microcontroller). Going out and writing code (any code!) is a purely mental exercise that's unaffected by the outside world. Don't like the syntax? Use another language! Want a feature that's not currently there? Import a library! The point is that code was meant to be written, whether it relies on a physical processor or not. You have lots of different options that each try to make it easier for the programmer.

Except it is easy. In fact, it was designed to be easy by the language architect. Unlike engineering where you're dealing with unchangeable laws of physics, computer languages are designed to be written by people.

Ah, tech startups. Because there's truly never enough silly solutions to problems that don't exist.

But that's what a heuristic is.

So how's that war on urban sprawl going in San Francisco? Oh right...

Except this isn't a Wankel.

I looked into this a while back, and they're able to get 50%+ thermal efficiencies by using their own modified thermodynamic cycle that promotes more complete fuel combustion, as well as arranging the engine components in such a way that the engine has low heat rejection qualities. Nearly doubling the efficiency of the typical ICE setup and doing so with large weight reductions far outweighs any issues with rotary seals. These things are so compact and simple that it would be feasible to simply drop an entirely new engine into your car and melt down the old one when the seals wear out. Not that it would come to that, but those are the kind of economics we're dealing with here. This is a legitimately nifty invention.
