Oddly enough, the YouTube recommendation engine served that one up to me too.

At first I thought it was about this.

I think this is an excellent point. Let's say they had NOT done that (and thank goodness they did) - would the current defenders of tarrifs see this as a path to wealth between states too? Me thinks they would. But they why stop there. Why not impose such tarrifs between cities. And if that enriches cities - neighbors should get in on the action too, no?

There is a modern Bastiat style essay waiting to be written here.

I recall sending a letter to them asking them for information on how they compressed their images for their hi-res adventure games. While they replied, they said it was a trade secret. I was kind of bummed. But being a 12 year old kid who barely understood the 6502, it probably would have gone over my head.

I really would like some official casio faces on my apple watch.

I see it as a great starting point.

At the very least, bazel would devour the cmake responsibilities in this case. That's not intended as a criticism of either. Just a description of bazel. It can feel very Star Trek Borg like.

Consider a broader range of news sources in your daily diet.

This headline is kind of dumb. Yes, there is yet another new venue. But other recent "new" venues include MIAX, IEX, MEMX, and soon to be active - 24X. Oh and let's not forget the Long Term Stock Exchange (LTSE).

A good overview of the flow of volume through these various venues can be found here. Bottom line - there are more than two exchanges.

To add to the confusion, NYSE Texas is just a rebranding of NYSE Chicago which used to be independent of NYSE when it was its own thing.

Bazel is a hard sell overall.

In case you missed it, check out the movie _The Lives of Others_.

Its the old axiom best expressed by the philosopher Sir Michael Tyson - "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face".

The other thing that stood out for me was - if that was so successful - why do we not have other Kokos? Did we just get lucky and find the one genius who could do this or did we maybe trick ourselves?

I suspect Koko's capabilities were completely over sold.

I can only tell you that when I was in high school decades ago, I shared a viewpoint that was similar to yours. But after watching history unfold in real time for the last 35+ years, my viewpoint has had to shift. And shift a lot it has. I have had to begin accept some uncomfortable truths that were not yet reaching me. I see them now.

Considering that your view point is bolstered by a vast ecosystem, I do wonder what propaganda are you thinking of that is responsible for my change in views? Like what do you think I tune into that promotes the viewpoint I hold? I'm asking because I'd love to know what is so that I can listen to more of it! Mine is very hard to find. So if you know where it is - please tell me.

I see the war in radically different terms than you. It's not a battle between who has the better historical claim to the land. It's a religious battle. It's a battle between radical Islam and the secular west.

For a fuller treatment of the defense of Israel from a secular view point.

I'm grateful that what little good pieces are left in the American right their defense of Israel remains in place.

Itanium was mostly a turd because it pushed so many optimization issues onto the compiler.

My other favorite example of this is the A&W Restaurants which in the states was a bit more of a fast food establishment. It was never that successful, but you'd see them every so often. Gone now in the states, but I believe its Canadian successor is still going strong.

Kmart in Australia is best thought of as a fork from the original. The original in the United States is effectively defunct now.

I always enjoyed Softline - the irreverent sibling to Softalk.

First, I think you are conflating two different authors in this thread.

Second, you dismissed what you deemed to be Israeli sources as "lying about the state of things, from the baseless claims against UNRWA". I brought up evidence otherwise - specifically that their claims are not baseless. Dismiss _that_ as biased all you want, but its just links to social media posts from Hamas members. Members of Hamas that also work for UNRWA in some fashion.

We do agree that the US and Israel standing alone is telling. But we will disagree on what it means. For me it confirms just how morally bankrupt the United Nations is. I see no epistemological value in just conforming to the majority when I see clear evidence otherwise.

There is considerable evidence that there is a deep connection between members of Hamas and its extensive support network and UNRWA.

If that's not antisemitic, I'm not sure what would be in your mind.

But I think for you, you are able to dismiss it because the rest of the world choose to not see it.

I can well imagine a parallel universe where Israel gave them NO money whatsoever. You know what would have happened? Hamas would do the usual Islamic fundamentalist thing. Form a terrorist group and attack Israel. And then media commentators and intellectuals would accuse Israel of failing to help Hamas get put on the right path by helping them at the start, and instead Israel's inaction was like strangling a baby in the cradle. Typical Israel! Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Israel seems like a very ineffective bully considering that the UN consistently condemns them the most vs. any other country in the world.

But for me, this says more about the nature of the UN than that of Israel.

It's always useful to balance these claims against their critics.

Towards that end I offer up unwatch.
