He wondered why a country that is under threat invests in its army. This was not criticism. Either this person is naive, as I said (I mean this in a non-offensive way), or this person is fine with this a threat being materialized. In this o

Funny you say this is beyond your comprehension AND be so biased against Israel. Either you're incredibly naive about what an actual threat to a country and its civilians means (oh no! they invest in Army and weapons), or you're j

Sure, Hezbollah has a right to fire at civilians (which include other Muslims BTW). They're the "good guys": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

That being said. It is important to emphasis that Israel is not automatically responding to rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon. There are quite a few humans in the loop.

killing civilians is easy, it's not something newly enabled by modern "robot" technology... I image they could just as well use bombs and bullets

They have bigger wings... This article is just anti-Israeli propaganda I find it disappointing to read how it's being received on HN --- EDIT: Why is this being down-voted? Are those drones different from missiles in a meaningful way?

a) Those weapons are not autonomous, they are remote controlled. Just fancy more accurate guided missiles. They are alternative for blind bombing. Like any weapon, it depends what you do with them and what your enemy is doing. b) This typ

Well just note that this doesn't work with all combination of languages. Try installing CLion on webstorm for example.

Even if you have a team of react developers. Faster is still faster. The cycle of design-code-feedback can be much quicker with such tools. Your react developers can spend more time on custom components, more complex flows, etc.

It is rare I think because of the parent company's CEO and founders don't like to really lose control to someone else. A child company is not easily managed (and they shouldn't, but that's scary and risky by itself. The

This looks like a great resouce, thanks! Note that in practice you can teach part II (numerical methods) without 90% of part I (python programming) given that your audience has some minimal programming experience (not necessarily with pytho

I live in Israel. There a three big points to make: 1 - There is a delay. While now we have more and more vaccinated people, much of the current cases in the hospital got infected before that. 2 - It changes from community to community but

Yiddish really isn't going anywhere and there are still plenty of children raised to speak it. So it is (perhaps surprisingly) in the latter category (only among (ultra?)orthodox Jews, but they're not endangered).

Some parts of it were due to an Israeli startup they bought, called Dapper. Seems to me like they bought it just to take some patents and kill it. It was interesting, but does it align with Yahoo's interest? Kind of like Google buying

Wolt is also big in Israel not only in the EU. Their reputation here is of being unfair towards both couriers and businesses. In both cases it's not about the base compensation it's about monopolistic over-controlling agreements l

"couriers are paid fairly well" - Any references? From what I've heard this is not the case. Actual data would be nice.

That is the bias I'm talking about. No, the guy who did 3 years at Google is not more likely to be less committed to this position that he applied to . You don't know anything about him or his circumstances. You assume. I'm

You have two signals: - The applicant has relevant experience - He/She is interested in moving forward (they did apply for this job, and not some other higher-paying job) The rest is just human bias and lazy HR.

"Someone in leadership also has needs. They need a team that respects and looks up to them. If they hire someone that clearly has a better resume, this is just not going to work." Not generally true. I've worked with people w

They're overqualified and they applied so you at least had a talk with them, voiced your concerns, and given them a chance to explain, right? Otherwise, that's kind of part of the problem IMO.

It's not really "good enough" for them. Some criminals seem to use it but it's just a matter of reputation. It doesn't offer any extra privacy over whatsapp.
