Is that your way of acknowledging you don't know anything about this? Because trust me, this is not simple at all, and since you think it is, it just means you don't know anything about it. This is understandable, a lot of people

I mean it's a pretty serious accusation, and it's false, so just throwing it around like that is not cool.

And when your lockstep forward = my lockstep backwards? Lockstep is never a good thing. And institutions are absolutely not trustworthy.

Knowing if it will hit is a lot easier than knowing where. Knowing where, will depend on the angle of impact - if came basically straight in (tangent to the surface) we can be pretty accurate, but the more shallow the angle the harder it

We would see it years before, and we would know with certainty years before. If the object really looked like it might impact I'm sure someone would get time on a powerful telescope to lock in the orbit.

Because sometimes Bias is true, but is socially undesirable, so we all agree to act as if it were not true. We expect computers to act as the world should be, rather than as it is, because we fear that not doing so will perpetuate things.

Are you asking me? I could see ti happening if the vendor was critical to the working of the system. A power outage should take down a company, but stuff happens - you can bet the people working there are quite stressed.

Power outage at one of their vendors (Fidelity).

What genocide? Since when is there a genocide? Do you mean when Hamas tried to genocide Jews? And you think Hamas wanted to nuke Gaza? Do you mean Hamas wanted all this destruction of their country? What did they gain from that? Biden shoul

You will see it in any thread about Israel or Jews. Tons of flagged and downvoted posts. I emailed hn about it. Unlike those highly motivated people, normal people don't spend time upvoting and vouching, so you end up with a tattered m

That's not true. Hamas finally agreed to let Israel monitor the Philadelphi corridor and to keep a buffer zone. Hamas also finally released an actual list with names of who they would release. Those were the changes the made the deal.

That's not actually true. First Israel didn't fund them, they allowed others to fund them, second the Hamas back then was not the terrorists of today, they changed.

You're not missing anything, this is a ceasefire like the first one, Israel will demand the rest of the Hostages at the end of it, Hamas will refuse, and the fighting will resume after lots of finger-pointing about whose fault it is.

The first two links are just weak platitudes. The 3rd link is a year old and the sanctions never happened. The last one is just Blinken talking, not a serious demand. So I maintain what I said.

Israeli's are (not that they think it was worth it), Gazan's are not. This war severely weakened Iran, Iran's proxies (Lebanon/Hezbollah, and Syria) and also interestingly Russia. Gazan's now have a ruined country w

I credit Trump's pressure on Hamas - Hamas eventually softened a lot of their positions because they realized they had no choice. And I wish Biden had done a better job of supporting Israel, this war could have ended a lot sooner if Ha

Speaking without knowing something also doesn't make you an idiot. (If that was the rule the entire planet is nothing but idiots.) The general issue is that people don't realize when they don't know something correctly, and i

The actual scenario at hand is paying 3x wages "just because". You said 1/3 minimum wage as a strawman. Not to mention minimum wages aren't necessary anyway - like you said "it’s really hard to hire even at minimum

Do you drive much in cities? I'll lay out something that happens all the time: I cross the line slowly, and some pedestrian darts out, so I stop, by the time they cross, the opposing traffic has a green, I however (in your scenario) do

When I stop past the while line, it's almost always because I thought the way was clear, but then something happened, and I had to stop, and then the light changed, and I was stuck past the white line. If you implement your plan I woul

Obviously that would be better. If no one applied for the job you raise rates until someone does. You don't artificially start unnecessarily high. If you do you are basically stealing from taxpayers to give gifts to unions.

The location of the traffic light has no legal meaning, there's a white painted line on the ground, which is the stop line.
