I don't know what Israeli media you're consuming, but as an Israeli, that is quite far from the truth, maybe with the exception of some specific pro-government propaganda networks. While I do wish the mainstream media in Israel de

The supply chain violation was performed by a Hungarian shell company with no links to Israeli tech. Using it as an example of why you would avoid any Israel-based companies is a weird security strategy.

That is patently absurd. Consent to sexual intercourse is not consent to pregnancy, especially if contraceptives were used and failed. At the risk of stretching the metaphor to its breaking point, this is you choosing to go out and get drun

They were technically correct. The lookup time on a binary search tree is O(H), which is equal to O(log2n) if the tree is balanced. Tree data structures invest a lot of complexity into keeping the tree balanced.
