What would happen if that part was removed and 100 years from now, another group tried to claim Israel as their self-determined government? Every time Jewish people try to be a peaceful minority inside someone else's society, they face

You're right, destroying Israel Hamas-style (as described in https://news.yahoo.com/hamas-member-says-repeat-attacks-0656... ) is different from killing Jews. One involves Hamas re-committing the unspeakable monstrositi

Have you even read the actual legal text [1] for the Nation-State law? It basically just says that Israel will always retain certain elements of Jewish culture such as the flag, anthem, holidays, and official language. No one is preventin

TIL. But even if you count nationality-based mistreatment as apartheid, Israel contains many Palestinians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_citizens_of_Isra... To be fair, Israel was doing some bad stuff to

There's also their senior official saying they will essentially repeat the Oct 7 attack until Israel is completely destroyed https://news.yahoo.com/hamas-member-says-repeat-attacks-0656...

I dislike repeating myself but once again, per Wikipedia, apartheid is a "system of institutionalised racial segregation". That Amnesty article contradicts that definition. It's talking about mistreating people in East Jerus

TBF- Mosiuoa Lekota, who literally went to jail with Nelson Mandela, should probably be listened to more than the random journalist you cited. I read the article though and it basically is saying that right wing extremism in Israel is doing

I disagree on the apartheid claim and so does former anti-apartheid activist and South African politician Mosiuoa Lekota [1]. Per Wikipedia, Apartheid is a "system of institutionalised racial segregation", and Israel's citize

Separate world: definitely. I remember a random real estate agent inviting my friend to a party and saying "bring your good looking friends" while giving me the stink eye from a distance. I have an older neighbor who is tall and

I had a manager who was obsessed with "velocity" and I spent 4 hours per week on time estimates. None of it was accurate except tasks like tiny CSS changes. Yeah, if you want to reduce morale, force everyone to waste half a day p

I think multiple inheritance will always scare me. What order do the superclass inits run in? What happens if they do conflicting things? What if some superclasses call super().__init__ and others don't? No thanks, I'll suffer

I bet humans could have done a lot better than -$881M, and it wouldn't have been very costly to employ them. How many homes did Zillow iBuy in total, 10-20k? If it takes 5 minutes to evaluate a house, that would be 100,000 minutes, w

Gent is an awesome city! Beautiful cathedrals and castles, a nice downtown riverside area, good art museums, lots of terraced pubs/cafes with excellent beer selections, plenty of smart people doing PhD work at UGent. And while people

I think the main complaint about US public transit is that it's dirty and dangerous. If it was super safe and clean in+around all stations and on all trains/buses at all times, people would definitely use it more often.

What about contact tracing apps? Tracing won't work unless you know who was nearby each infected person. It's difficult to find that info unless a big portion of people are using a tracker app. Is that sort of thing happening wh

The words "contact" and "tracing" didn't even appear once in the article. Are people outside of Asia not even considering test'n'trace as a possibility? Privacy concerns aside, it seems like an effective

When are they going to just seal off an area so it's self-driving vehicles only, and test them there? In a 100% self driving environment, edge cases are probably much easier to reason about. And if the future is 100% self driving, th

Not to be a total smartass, but if your Python codebase is not that big yet, then the correct answer is none of the above- rewrite in a compiled language if you find the lack of static checks disturbing. I have been using "type checked

I agree. When I'm dropping someone off, I often drive past the intended drop point, let them out across the street, etc, because there is an unreasonably high cost to hitting the exact drop point. It sounds like self driving cars are o

Yeah, I too wouldn't want to cycle in that level of air pollution. There's a sweet spot to hit for level of comfort & safety while cycling. I just think safety is the bigger issue, because even if the surrounding environment

In most cities, especially in America, there's a vicious cycle: 0) Cycling is dangerous because there are too many vehicles on the road 1) There are so many vehicles on the road because everyone knows it's dangerous to cycle 2) G

I only use Lyft for personal reasons but FWIW Lyft almost certainly uses this type of predatory regularly trip pricing. As I mentioned in another comment, I take the same trip at roughly the same time 1-2x per week. After doing that for aw

Lyft is definitely doing it too. I take the same trip at roughly the same time 1-2x per week. After doing that for awhile, i noticed the price went up like 10-20%. When I adjust the locations just a few hundred meters from my usual endpo

I'm not sure if it's more expensive either. The first correct algorithm I can think of, expressed in the programming equivalent of pre-K level English, usually is less buggy and 10X easier to maintain than the advanced-language-f
