This is how: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_apartheid I don't think all Palestinians are innocent. I know there are Israelis that are war criminals. None of those facts are excuses to kill Palestinians o

No, exactly. That is why I wrote "I condemn the terrorist attacks on innocent civilians by Hamas". But my comment was an answer praise of Israel's constraint, like Israel was completely innocent in this conflict. And the foll

Only if you read it in complete isolation. It was an answer to someone who praised Israel for its restraint, like Israel was this pure white dove in the region Here I know it get too complicated for many: I admit, Israel had something com

I’d say that we are programming on a higher level of abstraction today, so the programs do in some senses do more, but the size of the code we wrote then and now, and the complexities are of the same order of magnitude.

Missing from your narrative is the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israeli settlers. The settlers are harassing and seizing land from Palestinians. Those settlers are protected by the Israeli Defense Forces. All of this is well documen

Books are still written, and there are quite a few online courses, and some of them aren't bad. I've learned that to be productive in a new language or framework I really need to dive into some of those resources. The manuals you

Yes. Humans and birds and rocks and stars.

In the same way as Stack Overflow has resulted in worse programmers, at least in some senses. I don’t mean to bash on SO, it’s really valuable sometimes. But corporate culture (faster is always better) and a new breed of programmers that do

It will feed itself data, more or less in the same way as we do it.

Just don’t. It’s a sure way to ruin any book.

Because nothing happened since 1894?

I don’t think I have to say anything more than “Game of Thrones” to prove you wrong in most people’s minds. The last episodes sullied the whole series, and I have no longer any desire at all to revisit any of the first seasons, even though

All of the things you mentioned are less per capita in the city than in the country side. Agrarian living gives the impression of less environmental impact because the impact is more spread out. Outside the cities those lumper trucks are ea

It’s not a new or controversial statement. Not only personal transports, but every transport of any type of goods are shorter and more efficient. As a corollary to that less land is used for roads (per capita). Less land is used for dwellin

I’d be fine with them except that the stove completely turns off when the sensors get a drop of water on them. And your fingers has to be dry and clean to use them. Both conditions make them hopeless in a kitchen.

No offence, but I haven't changed the subject. I'm not talking about the cost of accelerators when I talk about HEP in this case, I talk about predictions of supersymmetry and new exotic particles that might actually make dark mat

You classify them as *pedantic* skeptics, while I say their skepticism is well founded. I used to be experimental physicist myself and have followed how, in particular high energy, physics has been presented by practitioners for at least th

I think that mainstream research in physics has lost a lot of credibility after spending decades pursuing things like string theories and super symmetry. Not that it was anything wrong with any of those at first, but they weren't prese

Or maybe it is just true, and worth pointing out, whenever dark matter is brought up as something else than the hypothetical explanation it is. That snark doesn’t belong here.

The persons might not posses any outlier capabilities. A big part of success is being born in the right circumstances at the right time and being lucky with a few things.

I think they just can handle being destroyed better because they are kind of used to feeling a bit miserable. It’s not that it isn’t affecting them.

Uh, what exactly is forced upon you in this case?

Are you seriously complaining that some academics are advising you about the health consequences of some habits, while you constantly are bombarded by commercials and other media trying to influence what you eat and drink?

Who suggested that? There are many places that are unsuitable for human habitat. Phoenix is another one.

Maybe the conclusion should be that people shouldn’t live in Florida because it just takes too much resources.

I’ve recently unpacked my own childhoods Lego, and most pieces are like new even after 40 years. Some white pieces are a bit yellow, but it’s inconsistent, so I suspect that happened by laying in the sun before it all was packed away. The b

Even for relatively cheap and bulky food like potato or onions I’m quite certain that trucking is only a small part of the price in the store.

> Guess which expenses impacts most prices, the most? Did you guess trucking? If so, you're correct. Can you provide a source for that statement? There are certainly some kind of goods for which your statement is true, but as a gene

I think it is necessary for being really successful in most fields that you neglect a lot of other stuff. I've had to deal with quite a few successful scientists, and it is striking how otherwise very intelligent people can show an alm
