It's a way to get cheap tourists from invading?

Or playful.

Stated goal (by Ben Givir, Smoltrich and, yes, Bibi himself): genocide of Gaza.

Half the cabinet of the current Israeli government has made public statements to the effect of wanting to starve everyone or kill all the kids.

We've seen the videos and, with !gt, we can read the translations.

Dresden made the Germans surrender? We're really going with that now? Not the Soviets taking Berlin and Hitler blowing his brains out lest they capture him?

Also, the Germans sent untrained 15 year olds to fight Soviet tanks. That's as close to total battlefield defeat as has ever happened in history.

Not slow, culturally inoculated hypersensitivity.

"I think they're using it hyperbolically."

You'd think my comment's thesis that folks with lower tolerances should be respected and treated differently would have given the rhetorical device away.

Thank you for forfeiting the evolution game.

Lol, why?

That the medical community acts as if you and I should be treated the same is insane to me.

I think the medical community needs to take more seriously that different people have different pain tolerances.

My wife, daughter and I are very pain tolerant. Out of curiosity, I've turned down freezing for fillings and I even turned down some of pain meds before abdominal surgery. I've never taken the post op opioids, including when I had my impacted wisdom teeth removed.

My other kid, on the other hand, is a whimp. She gets anxious simply if I replace her earrings.

My use case for anesthesia is very different from my kid. I struggle to appreciate why anesthesia is even necessary beyond the need to restrain the patient.

My kid could go into a full blown panic attack from pain.

Yet I don't see anesthesiologists ever asking "how good are you with pain?"

Because the law mandates that renewables must be bought. Thats why prices fall negative.

"Even on HN, if you have non-conforming opinions of those with higher points, you will be censored, flagged etc."

Its not what it used to be, but HN is still better than most other places. I really think an LLM trained on its submissions/comment would be interesting

Palestine is a member and we all saw what happened there. The US has personally threatened the judges.

Since Israel started the war without authorization being the security council, it's legally the aggressor. Which means the actions in of themselves are crimes, regardless of where they are conducted.

Of course, Israel has hit hospitals in Tehran. And condos. War crimes.

So, no matter how you slice it, Israel commits war crimes as a matter of course.

Now, one could object and say that Israel has to commit war crimes because it's so endangered. If that's the case, why doesn't it go to the security council and get authorization for lethal military action? Who on the security council would vote against Israel if the threat was remotely real?

Of course it is. Is a rapist innocent if he gets away?

I'm talking about a nation state doing this to communicate using cell infrastructure it has physical control

Not in this field but, if you're willing to sacrifice performance for security (by avoiding closed, western, hardware) how hard would it be to for a group of top hardware and software engineers to make a secure smartphone?

Id gather you could go very far with the following list:

- Proved correct micro kernel

- Encrypted messaging by default

- Encrypted memory

- Encrypted messaging between processes.

- hardware switches for modems, peripherals and battery

"Just which building to level"

What's "just" a war crime amongst friends?

I doubt it, Israel has 300 nukes.

But, to be honest, I am grateful that intercepting missiles and drones is giving IDF pilots something to do other than bombing Gazans.

Just sayin'

Even if your PWM is faster than your eye's response it's trivial to see how one is still affected, namely, the stop motion effect.

That effectively lowers the frequency of the lcd.

An easy way to see PWM flicker (and distinguish cheap led bulbs for better ones) is to wave your open hand in-front of them.

If you see the strobe effect, return the bulb and buy another one.

If you're savvy with manufacturing, make yourself a left handed edison thread (I can't find them anywhere). Left handed incandecent lightbulbs are still legal

Also, you can buy high wattage lights, and the three ways have lower wattage settings.

Finally, outdoor and appliance incandescents lamps are very inefficient, but last forever.

Some of us remember the Israeli AI program to maximize civilian deaths in Gaza.

We also remember the IDF "discovering" a weapons cache stored next to... an MRI.

Some of us have seen the pictures of Gaza.

If (Russian ally) Delhi tried a decapitating strike on (US ally, ruled by US patsies) Pakistan we'd loose our shit.

Pray, when has Iran behaved irrationally? Except when trusting us, which Kissinger pointed out is really dumb.

It's been the assessment of three intelligence community going back decades.

Myself, I think they already have a bomb. Or actually don't want it for moral reasons. There is no universe where Pakistan and N. Korea have it and they're "working on it"

Its funny how everyone's forgotten about that law

I thought I implied that I don't care.

Bibi has been saying that Iran is weeks away from the bomb since the 80s.

Meanwhile, he's the only megalomaniac in the region with a Bomb.

This wasn't Tulsi saying it, but the intelligence community going back to the dubbya administration.

Some of us are old enough to remember.

In honor of W. "fool me one, shame on you. Fool me twice? Well you cant fool me twice"

We dont care about Iran having a nuke any more than we care about Pakistan's or N. Korea.

N. Korea has said mean things to us too.

The only thing we care about is Iran's resources and support for the Palestinians.
