His daughter, son-in-law, and the defense minister were also killed, as they were all in his residence at the time. If he decided to stay for ideological reasons, they would not have been there. My guess is that they might have misinterpret

I think he's trying to generate engagement on X through controversy. The recent change to search, which now shows posts from people you've blocked (with no options to turn it off) suggests this too. The problem with this strategy

If you want to use hardware acceleration in Emby you have to pay for "Emby Premiere". Jellyfin, not having tiered versions, provides this for free. This is obviously useful in general, but i rely on it to run a media server on my

I don't think they are blocking based on browser. They are probably on another push. I'm getting "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service" on lastest Firefox and uBO. I'm in Australia.

So is Iran just going to be the default bogeyman until they drum up enough negative sentiment for a war? Iran doesn't really have any military projection. It can't even move equipment and people into countries it's close to (

Trump is a fuck-you vote from the economic losers of globalisation. They know he won't do anything for them, but they also know the other side won't either. All the pearl clutching about trumps characteristics from inner-city rela

This mess has shown that you don't need an age limit for the presidency? He was going to lose the election exactly because of his perceived cognitive decline related to his age. The DNC is at fault for selected him as the candidate.

They just don't care enough and think they can get away with it. It's thuggish behavior. They would rather the ICC didn't exist, the UN didn't exist, the Palestinians didn't exist.

Graduate level jobs still require you to have recently graduated from something. In my field that means "a degree in computer science or equivalent". It's still the path of least resistance for getting through the door. Yes,

The end of every decade of your life feels this way. It's how we measure lifespans. "By the time you reach 30 you should.." vs "By the time you reach 33.3 you should.."

Sure. But even if you want to hire at about 1 women per 4 men you would need to actively do so. I.E. create a hiring policy in which she would be selected instead of one of the other equally qualified men.

If you have 5 equally good candidates, 4 men and 1 woman that woman has a 1/5 chance of being selected. The others also have a 1/5 chance as individuals but the candidate selected has a 4/5 likelihood of being male. If you wa

Most applicants for a desirable position are likely to come from the majority group of your region. So for a minority candidate to be selected they would not only have to be equal to the others - but better. That seems unfair to me. What do

perhaps the goal is to cause general distrust and chaos rather than back a particular candidate. Biden hasn't pulled back from the trade war either. Reading a supporter describe Biden as a "Satanist pedophile" would much more

Maybe this is a maintenance thing? If the clock is broken/wrong at a plausible time, you might not notice it until it's too late. Better to not have one and make people double check their own time.

The lowish tech wages in Australia are in part explained by our economy being pretty unsophisticated. A data analyst (already of dubious utility at the best of times) is going to find getting work hard in a country with a population of 25M
