Usually the argument I see online is that criticism of Israel isn't necessarily anti-semitic. But this is just straight up criticism of Jews, based on the actions of Israel. He's saying that Jews in general should atone for their

Google/Motorola tried this before, but it didn't work out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-27643474 I don't know what went wrong there, or what lessons could have been learned.

1 seems unlikely to me - why would Google do that? It would always be in exchange for something, which is pretty much selling. 2 seems more plausible.

What kind of datamining? I suppose we have no way of actually knowing if it's true, but Google does say they don't use Photos data for ads: As always, we don’t sell your information to anyone, and we don’t use information in apps

Are you suggesting that there is a binary property "intelligent or not"? In which case, what would progress even look like?

Landing aircraft are spaced ~minutes apart to avoid turbulence caused by the plane in front. Surely wings immediately behind on another suffer significant turbulence and reduced lift?

Immutability in this context doesn't mean "kept forever", it just means the permission to hard-delete is separate from soft-delete. GDPR requires that good data-stewards keep backups: the controller and the processor shall

No, the denominator should not be fully-vaccinated people - how could that possibly account for cases of blood clots after the first dose? It's not sobering, it's scientific or clinical. It's what doctors do on a daily basis

by Jabbles 5y ago
Not sure where your denominator came from, but the article says 22 million first doses have been given: 41/22e6 = 0.0000019 = 0.00019% So yeah, easily 5 nines, nearly 6. For this particular metric (i.e. death).
