I heard it was the combo of battery life and ability to package an SoC that could perform the features they wanted wasn’t available.

I think Google Clips was sort of like that:

They are welcome to get it from egypt with whom they share a border as well.

They are not bombing people, they are warning them (and also calling and texting them) to get out so that thee are no/limited civilian casualties and only the infra is destroyed which is housing rockets etc

This one is easy:

US provides Israel with roughly $5-6B in military funding which has to be spent back with US suppliers (please add details if anyone has it)

The total IDF budget in 2011 (latest I could find and has increased) is over $20b.

I dont think $6B=$20B.

1) offtopic 2) The Israeli military said the structures had been built illegally.

Strange - Occupied it is not. Defensive removal of rocket infrastructure seems ok.

Another question: do fighting nations generally supply electricity, medicine and water to entities raining missles down on their civilians indiscriminately?

Great read for the uninformed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_State_of_Palesti...

Yes - war is bad. Israel is always ready for peace. I can link you to a list of all the offers that have been made for peace. Additionally, you do know that there is no IDF in Gaza and that Gaza shares a border also with Egypt (strangely they keep it closed). They are free to live there peacefully and grow their prosperity.

Have you seen Hamas' work in Gaza: https://news.yahoo.com/gaza-city-blast-kills-1-091252256.htm...

Jimmy - since I cant reply to your comment below:

No this is not about hamas, but neither was this about Gaza. This was about rescuing people from a collapsed building. Yet here we are.

I think you forgot the /s at the end of your statement.

IDF is best known for fighting defensive wars from aggressive arab armies. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces

Additionally they are known for rescue operations. A few examples below: -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Moses -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Magic_Carpet_(Yemen)

They are also known for civilian rescue operations: -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Entebbe

Finally, they are considered one of the best trained, most humane armies in the world. It's literally in their mission statement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_of_arms

Examples: roof knocks -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking

Jimmy - peeling apart your statement:

Israel is not pretending to get involved; they sent personnel who helped remove people from the rubble.

Your warcrimes comment is not fact based; so I feel nothing about that.

In conclusion 1) israel sent this team and they did help 2) how can i possibly know the intent, all we can see is the action, and it is help.

SoC BSP support is your answer. It’s not a conspiracy.

Dollars to support vs user base size / revenue / contractual obligations. The devices were cheap in the first place specifically because there wasn’t going to be a 20 year BSP support contract.

Except Kamau Bobb, who was simply removed from Doing diversity activities at Google but still employed here.

What's just as interesting to the naysayers:

In California: why do people pay different (sometimes significantly) amount of taxes on identical houses next door to each other but receive the same level of service just based on WHEN and HOW MUCH they paid for the property?

What about just hiding your SSID?

Thought this was about the CD burning application. Proven wrong by clicking.

So actual truck is not exciting but vaporware is.

Got it.

How do you square that people are greedy, but a group of people in power, with the threat of violence, is not.

Yes.

Because no one there has a smart phone. Because they actually killed the journalist. /s

Of the course the obvious explanation is the correct one, the building housed military targets (Hamas operations etc) and it was destroyed.

"slaughter wholesale"

I think we'll need a reference for that.

As far as I can tell, warning civilians to evacuate buildings is QUITE the opposite of wholesale slaughter.

Mechanical design of original platform does NOT limit the OEMs ability to install telecommunications modules and other upgraded electronic.

You paid your money to help a company survive? Why not buy the stock instead?

They do in south America. Russia because they were only able to import non-soviet cars starting in the 90s. But they are also everywhere there.

This is patently false. Check Australia and Africa where Land Cruisers rule and survive like roaches (as do old Mercedes).

It's because they are well engineered.

Isn't this effectively what the Michelin guide was for (of Michelin Star fame)

Unveils = provides high-level spec for a proposed airplane?

Why was this flagged dead?

Also why does this matter? Afaik people are allowed to make donations using any email they want.

I see. US was the only country that had slaves and this gave them an unfair advantage ergo they had the best universities.

My brain hurts stringing this logic together. Is that was you're implying?

There is no guarantee that the app is built only from the open source bits.
