I guess they're really good at what they do? As was said every Israel is ex-IDF. Service is mandatory. Many Israelis oppose Israel's government's policies as well.

Your comment completely lacks historical accuracy and context. Israel offered Palestinians a two-state solution multiple times. During the Oslo accords Israel allowed Palestinian leadership to return and established the Palestinian Authorit

Palestinian violence predates the 1967 and 1948. Also Gaza wasn't occupied since Israel left it in 2005. Here's is one example from 1954 when Israel did not control Gaza or the West Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Looks pretty bad... Nikkei -6.6% ... but did rebound a bit from lower.

I also try to think about things this way. Be careful though. When the stock market crashes everyone is negative and the pressure is on.

The way to do this back in the day was to read application notes (in real books ;) that the chip vendors would print and give you for free). You would have everything spelled out in example circuits that you could put together yourself. I&

During your lifetime the US economic and political status in the world has been on the rise. It was viewed as an island of stability and growth. I think the current administration isn't helping but we're talking about a multi-deca

This isn't black and white. Economics in many ways is about human behaviour and that will never be a precise science. We shouldn't be anti-intellectual but we also shouldn't be slaves to theory. Economists don't necessar

I don't think we want to view HN as competition for karma points or karma points as some sort of validation. It would be nice if we could stop turning HN into a political battleground but I guess that war has been lost.

Nobody should be planning on steady stock market gains for their retirement income. The stock market goes up and it goes down. In both the dot com crash and the 2008 financial crisis the market fell significantly more. Even in Covid it fell

You can have 100% fact based propaganda by cherry picking. This is not dissimilar to coming with a theory just based on your selected subset of preferred observations. This is the fuel of conspiracy theories. I completely agree with you. Ne

Having read both of them (well, I had the dragon book as a compiler course textbook, couldn't really read it all, donno who can) I think that's not a fair comparison. AoE is extremely practical. I think the debate here is what exa

I can see how that would happen. When I first read the book I was definitely not a blank slate. But it's still a good recommendation for those with a little bit of knowledge who want a deeper understanding. At least it was for me. You&

It's also about resource constraints. If your parallel request workload (let's take S3 as an example) is already using all the available resources then parallelizing this single task in the hope that it would make things more effi

I already knew something by the time I read it so that must have helped. I guess you do need a certain maturity level (in the subject) to get started but once you have it (maybe from somewhere else) I think it's great. It reminds me of

We were also doing multi-threading before we had multiple cores. I remember some things breaking once we actually started seeing the first dual-core machines, probably Pentium-D circa 2005. Massively parallel machines and parallelization pr

Every large scale cloud/SaaS software has been using parallelism for decades [well, almost two decades give or take]. Requests run in parallel on millions of servers and one server processes many requests in parallel. In that sort of s

It's a good point but the flip side is not every point in time is 1932 Germany. How do we keep a democracy where ideas we don't agree with can still be implemented if there's a majority (assuming minority rights are protected

Brexit is a good example. I think many people just can't extrapolate/predict the results of their actions and understand the policy (assuming politicians are even honest about it in the first place). For most objective smart peopl

Agree social media is a big problem. It lets people live in an imaginary reality echo chamber. However in the real world and 1:1 you can still have good discussions with smart people who disagree with you. And we need to have those.

I think the claim is that a lot of people stick with the tribe regardless of how closely it matches their world views. It might be dismissive but it resonates. I've seen people keep voting for the same parties even when the policies ha

I was chiming in to the broader thread not just your comment but I think it adds to your observation about the political bias. I'd love to get a higher quality source of data on media bias and accuracy. Both of these matter because eve

They're both ranked mixed which sits below the next level. Maybe fox is at the bottom of that bucket while the Guardian is not? Also it would depend on the ratio of fact check issues to stories. Maybe Fox News runs a lot more news? Eit
