The zionist movement has never been peaceful, it has always aimed for violent expulsion of native populations from Palestine. One might argue that socialist or liberal zionism is not overtly jewish supremacist, but in practice they always w

No, it is not a democracy. Apartheid states are not democracies, and Israel is not pluralistic, it is fiercely supremacist. And, as it happens, led by at least one convicted terrorist. It wasn't Hamas that "expelled the Jews"

No, they reject zionism: "20. Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rej

The Hamas charter indicates that they would accept a two-state solution with 1967 borders. This is not something the state of Israel will accept and is quite blatant in declaring that they would prefer to keep up the genocide.

After toppling Saddam Hussein the US took political control in the country and decided who got to decide what. The slaughter that followed was a direct and rather predictable result of this.

Zionism is older than the state of Israel. It is a political movement consisting mainly of christians. If you want to learn more you could do worse than follow Zachary Foster's lectures for the Rutgers Center: https://www.yo

I suspect LLM-like technologies will only rarely back out of contradictory or otherwise unsatisfiable constraints, so it might require intermediate steps where LLM:s formalise the problem in some SAT, SMT or Prolog tool and report back abou

I haven't noticed anything like that. Some more obscure tools have trouble with the file system but that happens in ordinary Linux too. Though I have no experience with Anaconda specifically so you likely know better whether it'll

Spores are kind of designed to not be valuable as food. Can you name some organisms that actually consume spores rather than eat and then poop them out?

Sheep usually have fecal matter in their rear wool, and pigs aren't the only animals that enjoy a bath in mud or muddy water when it's hot. I suspect the ancient jewish idea of cultic purity had less to do with washed skin and hai

What do you mean by "inordinate"? Reason as a main source of social norms is a much later ideological invention, usually considered a result of the dominance of the roman catholic church and its adoption of aristotelian philosophy

Let's say that was possible, why would it be likely, or even the most likely explanation? How do you square this against, say, the possibility that the early jews wanted to differentiate themselves from the egyptians? I'm not sure

Jewish law on this topic is like a thousand years older than the prophet Muhammad, or more, it's not exactly clear when the contents of Leviticus first stabilised. As for pork as food, it's as old as neolithic societies. Wild boar

"which was notoriously hard to make sanitary" Why were the jews unable to handle pork? Didn't their neighbours manage it?

I don't know their reasons but PDF is a rather problematic format so I suspect that's why. You can run their EPUB through Pandoc to convert yourself, or put some effort in and setup your own Calibre instance which will do somethin

It is very similar to SQLite in that it can run in-process and store its data as a file. It's different in that it is tailored to analytics, among other things storage is columnar, and it can run off some common data analytics file for

"Free speech" is a thing between persons and the state. It does not require persons to accommodate nazis. Some corporations claim otherwise because they think nazis are good for business.
