FYI Purple haired person is the Israeli nickname for Netanyahu. He dyes his hair and it occasionally picks up a purple tint. It's silly and childish, there's plenty of horrible things to say about him other than his appearance.

It's not about Twitch having a right to block a country. It's stealth blocking which seems contradictory to their parent companies policy. There are a lot of complaints against Amazon in this regard e.g. an Amazon employee is a hostage in Gaza yet people aren't allowed to mention his name within Amazon. This is in stark contrast to nvidia which also has an employee hostage in Gaza.

Did you bother reading that link?

I suggest sticking to facts rather than biases and fake information online.

If this were true you would see a lawsuit based on Leahy law in the states. The fact is it's just not. Israel has held aid occasionally but most of the problem with supplies have to do with Hamas stealing them.

I don't support a lot of the stuff Israel is doing but painting it in this light is deeply incorrect and unfortunately hurts Palestinians. Both sides escalate and the result of such escalations are always worse for the weaker side.

Not attacks, but yes this is a single set of proxy wars. You see Ukraine working in Syria and Iranian/North Korean forces in Russia. You see China working hard on global influence for the war. It is very much an east vs. west proxy war. Biden understands this, that's why he moved ships. Part of that was also signaling to China.

> You are making loaded statements using Orwellian weaponized terminology. Now that I have the time, allow me to explain.

Anti-sematic rhetoric, which you very clearly used, literally killed millions of Jews over history and is again used as a weapon to de-legitimize 10 million Israelis right now. But I'm weaponizing, that is some metal gymnastics there... Oh no I caused you an embarrassment, that's a weapon.

> One conspiracy that I beleive is that there's a deliberate campaign to conflate the nation-state of Israel, the religion of Judaism, and a particular ethnicity (Ashkenazi). These three things are not the same.

That's again a load of nonsense. Israel is literally called "Israel". From the old testament. Despite having 20% Muslims as part of its heritage it's very clearly a state for the Jews to escape people like yourself.

> Even in isolation, these three concepts are ambiguous. For example, the nation-state known as "Israel" cannot be equated with the biblical nation of "Israel." The "religion of Judaism" cannot be equated with "Rabbinical judaism." The concept of Jewish as an ethnicity does not exist because there are multiple Jewish ethnicities.

How for f*cks sake is any of that nonsense relevant to anyone. Do Iranian bombs or Nazi gas chambers check these things?

You're trying to conflate a very obvious and clear argument, a minority is persecuted and you're arguing about the purity of the minority. Are you one of the people who claimed Obama can't be black because his father doesn't come from a line of slaves or that his mother was white?

To answer the above BTW, he is black because he drove a car in America while being black.

Also using the word "conspiracy" while discussing Jews. Huge red flag. I don't know if you're literally unaware, ignorant or malicious but seriously... This is DEEPLY blatant rhetoric.

> Another conspiracy that I believe is that The conduct of the the nation-state known as "Israel" is largely the responsibility of a specific group of oligarchs who hide behind the meaningless word "Jew" to fabricate a false narrative and evade justice.

The "powerful Jews that control the world"... That is literally textbook basic anti-Sematism. Wow, people are usually more subtle about it but you went full Monty on that one.

> This specific group of oligarchs associated with the nation-state called "Israel" happens to practice a particular interpretation of rabbinical Judaism, and they employ the tactic of monopolizing mass media to wage information warfare.

And control the media while minimizing the facts about the formation of Israel. The countless deaths in war. The years of open communications and conventions formed by Jews. You are seriously down a conspiracy Rabbit hole.

Also don't forget that Jews control the Nobel community, the Fields medal etc. http://www.jinfo.org/index.html

> They also influence world governments and perpetrate genocide, among many other immoral schemes that are exceedingly evil and sophisticated.

Right "they"... I won't talk about the genocide nonsense, if there was even a remote bit of truth to that there would be a lawsuite in the states based on Leahy's law.

But this is super easy to disprove using facts. There's an actual genocide going on in Sudan, actual people dying. Yet crickets from the same people. Yes, the USA is sending money to Sudan too. The US also armed the Saudis to bomb Yemen and a lot of bad people. China is literally setting up "re-education" camps or concentration camps for minorities. Nothing. Just the Jews are at fault when trying to fight an enemy whose slogan literally means the destruction of Israel. An enemy fueled by Iran who called for the destruction of Israel repeatedly calling it "little Satan" (with the US being the big Satan).

But this one country which is a haven for Jews is the criminal. Not the countless countries for all other religions who did pretty horrible things (and still do). This one country?

There were more UN decisions against Israel than all other countries COMBINED. More than Russia, China, Sudan etc. Does that sound like an all powerful country capable of global brain control?

I'm not sure if you're delusional or malicious but I very much got the antisemitism spot on. I suggest medical help.

And the USA and pretty much every other country. So what's the solution?

Let's all just stop and live in peace/harmony. The reality is that those countries do it and there needs to be a counterweight.

Calling something a shitty argument without offering anything viable is a shitty argument.

> Define "Jew"

Nope. Not my job.

But thank you for confirming your anti-Sematism proving my point and explaining the article so perfectly. People like you (and 2000 years of violence) are the reason Israel feels paranoid. That's exactly why they do these sorts of things, and in the case of Israel it's not empty paranoia. Enemies are literally seeking its destruction.

Those were not "in the market". They were specifically purchased by Hezbollah who killed many Americans FYI.

The globalist Jew that controls the media... Next you're going to say you're not an anti-Semite because Israel does lobbying and influence. Same as Russia, Iran, China etc. Whose propaganda/influence are somehow OK.

You're already using IntelliJ just use tracepoints and get a ton of advantages without forgetting prints in production. Stop living in the 70s, that quote makes sense when you're building a kernel not a modern user space app.

Pretty misleading post from a clickbait title. The job of the fed isn't equality, it's to stop inflation and keep the economy stable. They did that reasonably well with the cards they were dealt. The elected government *should* tax these people/corporations and help even out the situation where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. There are many policies to do that and most countries have them.

But then roughly the same "anti-fed" crowd claims that this is regulation and shouldn't exist.

Yes but then why would it impact girls far more than boys?

That sounds odd considering pretty clear statistics correlating teen girls suicide rates with the rise of Instagram. Can someone who understands the subject matter more than I do comment on this further?

Today is Jimmy Carters 100th birthday. One of the big reasons he lost was the price of gas. That's a carbon tax. Second result for "carbon tax popular support":

> The consensus among today’s economists is that a carbon tax is one of the most effective tools for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Among many Americans, however, concerns over cost-of-living and the competitiveness of American manufacturing trump the recommendations of policy experts. A 2019 Pew Research study found that two-thirds of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, who largely oppose carbon taxes, believe that scientific experts are worse or no different at making science policy decisions compared to other people. Popular reluctance to support a carbon tax has, in turn, sapped Democratic eagerness to campaign on such a strategy: emails from the 2016 Clinton campaign called a carbon tax “lethal” in the general election out of fear of alienating potential swing voters. Polarization and political hesitation on carbon taxes have stalled to little advancement of this policy idea, despite the support from economists.

> Media reporting on things is always going to be biased by big oil, I don't read the news.

The problem is that this big oil biasing works. People buy into that and real people accept that. Trivializing their concerns is also wrong because this is indeed could be a regressive tax that will cost working families a lot of money. The solution is to address these concerns and understand them. Not deny them.

Really?

Not a huge expert but this is a huge talking point on the right. They don't like the carbon tax. E.g. second result from a simple search: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carbon-tax-political-popula...

Yes, Liberals (such as me) like carbon taxes. But even among liberals taxes aren't a popular subject. Especially not a potentially regressive tax like some carbon taxes.

The headline focuses on a difficult number but the article pointed out 63 effective policies that government can focus on. Unfortunately, these seem to be the tougher policies like carbon tax which people aren't fans of... But it makes sense, you pollute you should pay for the cleanup.

Again, repeating terrorist claims on face value. You choose to believe people who tried to deny killing 12 children in a soccer stadium. People who helped Assad stay in power. People who killed countless Lebanese people, their own fing people... Over Israel. Why?

I get that Israel has a lot it needs to improve on, but it has been remarkably "clean" compared even to American war standards e.g. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urb...

It didn't bomb civilian areas knowingly, that would constitute a war crime and would immediately trigger the Leahy Law that would block all aid to Israel https://www.state.gov/key-topics-bureau-of-democracy-human-r...

If there was a shred of actual *real* evidence of Israel intentionally targeting civilians it would be in US courts right now trying to enforce that law. The fact is this is all online propaganda where facts don't actually matter and proof isn't necessary... Speaks volumes...

> The difference may be ideological, geopolitical, etc. but it is not that one side follows the rules and the other breaks them.

If your ideology is global Sharia law then sure... If you hate the West then sure. It's just ideology. Their ideology is that Israel should be wiped out. The ideology of Israel is that it's already there and should remain there. I don't think calling this "different ideologies" is a legitimate stance.

That's how the terrorists phrase it so yes. But that's taking them at their words rather than taking them at their actions.

The biggest difference is: in this case the terrorists get the payback. The people who are actually guilty/related to that. Organizations like Hezbollah target civilians and fire blindly at entire regions.

There are quite a lot of other differences, I suggest avoiding false equivalencies of this sort.

This is a great timing for me for this post. Lots of good if somewhat obvious advice.

I'm considering picking up on-call duties in my new role. In my last company they expected us to do on-call as part of the job but only during what they defined as "working hours" which didn't fit with my schedule. That was one of the reasons I left that particular role. But here they give an 18% salary boost for the on-call duties, and I love debugging hard production problems which is a huge plus.

The attack on the Pentagon was illegal because it happened without an act of war and was unprovoked. This is an organization that fires 25 missiles on civilians every day. It's enabled by all of its people, also the desk clerks who enable this. If you're working for a terrorist organization that fires on civilians and killed hundreds of Americans then you should expect some payback.

What visibility do you have when you drop a bomb on a building?

When you fire a gun in combat at a target?

People who have no idea how warfare actually works have unrealistic expectations about this.

The trickle-down effect is intentional and important. Terrorists are using off the shelf technology to kill civilians and communicate. They should know that they can be hit anywhere. This is an organization that killed hundreds of Americans and fires at civilians ±25 rockets per day.

> What are the reasons behind believing prices will reduce further?

Economies of scale and room for technological/process innovation. The fact that solar reduced so significantly and battery costs too. This article seems a bit cherry picked about a specific project and not a global trend in costs. Offshore will naturally take time to become competitive since it requires complex installation and processes, but those seem like solvable problems for an admittedly laymen as myself.

Interesting. I've been reading about the much lower costs of grid level storage and the fact that it's now getting into economies of scale. I also assume there's a lot of room for cost reduction in wind over the next decade, while I'm guessing Nuclear won't see the same level of changes. Won't this change the situation significantly over the next decade.

Do you mean it's competitive due to the longer lifetime?

Is the operation cost of the reactor over such a long duration not significant?

Also why are you comparing 8gw to 3.2gw? Is it due to peek output? if so won't this be solved by grid level storage?

Well... Maybe you get down-voted because you write anti-semetic stuff like "In my eyes, this incident raises the question about every Israeli software developer and hardware developer I work with."...

Wow.

That is a "beard" they use to legitimize a large terrorist group that murdered hundreds of Americans. Fires on civilians, killed children and is conducting a war with Israel without the consent of the people of Lebanon.

One of the "victims" was an Iranian ambassador to Syria. They are an arm of Iran serving their interests within Lebanon which are in conflict with the interests of the Lebanese people. They fight Israel but then hide behind civilians within tunnels.

For once they became a direct target without the ability to hide behind anyone. Just recently there was declassified intel on them planting bombs within Israel trying to assassinate politicians. They already bootstrapped a phone in the past too.

The reason they have popularity is due to funds they get from Iran which they use to provide loans to poor people. To make this even more attractive they push for a situation of dependency and poverty so the poor would be even more dependent on their loans. Lebanon is in deep distress (financially and politically) and these are the a*holes pushing for it on the behest of Iran.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that killed hundreds of Americans. Not to mention Frenchmen, Israelis and Arabs. It recently bombed a football field and killed 12 kids. It fires indiscriminately at civilian population and had itself used a phone with a bomb within it...

No one who works for them is a "civilian". One of the "victims" is an Iranian ambassador to Syria. This shows you who Hezbollah really is. They are an Iranian puppet working against the interest of the Lebanese people dragging them into a war they don't want with Israel. They are hiding behind civilian populace and avoiding the "price" of their actions. This was the first time where these a*holes actually paid a price for their actions, for putting the people of Lebanon at such risk.

Calling Hezbollah a "political party" is akin to calling the Nazi party a political party. Technically true, but also deeply misleading.

No. Israel supplies water via pipes. There is not enough water in the region and Israel has turned water purification/desalination into a large scale operation, yet it provides it to Gaza despite being under attack from Hamas for decades (rockets, suicide bombers etc., 7/10 etc.).

Some stupid Israeli politicians tried to stop that water supply claiming that it's insane to provide your enemy with resources during war (Israel also supplies electricity and fuel to Gaza, both are used in the Hamas tunnels to pump in air). Unfortunately, this stupidity by the current government became the basis of the stuff you're repeating.

Since we used Java it was easy to pick Spring Boot and a VPS. Cheaper and amazingly much faster.

Had a similar issue with app engine decades ago. Burned me on cloud/PaaS completely, the fact that something like that is possible is a huge vulnerability.

But Google is particularly problematic in this regard. We were a gold support level customer and they just blew us off. They are an advertising company and nothing else. Everything else they do is a "hobby".
