The US has no desire or intent to occupy Iran. It would take a year just to move enough forces to even contemplate it. Iran is mountainous which makes this a lot harder than Iraq. It is also completely unnecessary. There are two options. Ei

I don't think we have a historical precedence to what is happening here. The closest would be Israel's attack on Hezbollah which literally collapsed and led to the collapse of the Syrian regime as well. The Iranian regime is very

Iran and Libya are very different places both in terms of history and current day. I would expect Israel to win the political battle as well. The world likes winners and Israel is going to be a winner here. It winning will also enable it to

This doesn't sound right to me. Sources? One data point I heard recently was 80% of Iranians oppose the current regime. That said I've also heard there is wide support for Iran to have a nuclear program. Presumably as a matter of

Something like is going on between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Iran (borderline). The Iraq war. The Afghanistan war. A prolonged period of hostilities. Something you would look back at and call "The US Iran War". I don't t

Israel wasn't really at war with either Lebanon or Yemen or with the Palestinians. It was with Hezbollah and the Houthis and Hamas. All attacked Israel with no provocation before Israel retaliated. Syria is a different story. Israel di

I honestly don't care about the oil companies. I'll lead with that. I'm not an American but my argument would be that a free and stable world is better for the US. A regime like Iran's that has killed Americans, is openl

Israel and the Palestinians have a history of violence from Israel's first day as a country. Israel and Iran not really. More recently Israel has been attacked by Palestinians on Oct 7th. Iran was involved in training Hamas: https:&#x

My common interpretation of a war is that it involves the continuous exchange of violence on both sides over some time. An isolated bombing operation isn't what I think of as a war. Israel and Iran are at war for sure. The US and Iran,

I think there's a difference between one attack and a full blown war. The US has had many bombings of other countries without a full out war: https://www.maurer.ca/USBombing.html Most recent big example is Yemen. Would

The US messed up a lot of things e.g. in the Americas. Before them the Europeans also messed plenty of stuff up. But the US has also at times been a positive force. I don't think the way to fix "messing up" that is to just di

It's not really the reason Iran wants to have nuclear weapons though. Iran wants to have nuclear weapons to destroy Israel but more generally to be able to act with impunity. Israel has nothing against Iran. Before the Islamic revolu

The problem in Iran is the government or shall we say the dictatorship. I'm not sure how the US could have/should have handled Iran since the revolution. You're naive if you think the current Iranian regime has any interest i

The US and Israel have a long standing partnership. During the cold war the USSR backed Syria and Egypt (E.g.) and the US backed Israel. That was not different than other places in the world where the US pushed back against soviet expansion

It was just not a good deal. It was more like kicking the can down the road and funding the regime. That's not good for Iranians and not good for anyone else.

Let's get rid of all nuclear weapons. Why are we picking on Israel here? Unlike the US Israel has never used theirs (or admitted they actually have them). Russia has openly threatened the west with nuclear attack.

I don't even remember who the president was. I'd have to look it up. And in 2050 you won't remember who Trump was. At least that's where my money is right now. There is no way Trump is turning into a dictator, for one th

I agree and this is also true in other countries. I'm not sure why this is even a question. The results of the pandemic sucked big time and people lost trust over masks vs. no masks, boosters, lock downs, and many other pseduo-random r

I was just digging out this Roomba I modded with a Raspberry Pi and camera. I think the cost of that setup was like $40. I meant to get my kids into robotics but they lost interest ... so this cool platform is still sitting around...

I think modern general purpose CPUs are perfectly capable of low latency and jitter. The problem isn't the CPU, the problem is stuff around the CPU (mostly the operating system). The less deterministic aspects of modern CPUs (branch pr
