Do we understand how memory works in general? If you tell me to remember the number 71, I can do that instantly with my short term memory, so I would guess that works without any changes to the brain structure and more like charging or disc

But seeing that people are trying to build satellite mirrors to put MORE solar energy into the planet without even thinking [...] Like Reflect Orbital [1]? In which case do not worry, they did not think that through, the amount of energy

Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany. That does not sound right and I am unable to find any source for that claim. EDIT: Nmap might fall under § 202c STGB [1] and »verschaffen« (obtain) probably does not

If you find this interesting you might also like repairing graphics cards and with that I mean stuff like fixing traces on the inner layers of the board. I just picked the first search result [1], not sure if that one is especially interest

I have no idea whether or not most physicist think that there are actually quantum fields in the universe. The Navier–Stokes equations provide a good description of milk mixing into my coffee, but should I therefore conclude that my coffee

I mean I can not speak for you, but I do not think that the problem necessarily is that people think of them as made from some stuff, I think what causes the most trouble is the desire to visualize particles. The trouble is that an electron

You should have a look at the history books. There had not been any significant Jewish population in Palestine for centuries, maybe even more than a millennium, when they started immigrating to Palestine in the late Ottoman period, in the l

I intentionally did not say Palestin and Israel, I really meant it in general, could actions that would easily be labeled as terrorism be justified? What if you are too weak to fight the military of an occupying power, should you just give

Because you were only talking about martyrdom and suicide bombing which is a choice of weapon, there is not a single word relating to choice of target in your comment. One could maybe see some implicit hint at the choice of target as suicid

Israel invaded Lebanon to fight the PLO and Hezbollah was founded to fight back. They are absolutely part of the wider conflict. And if you read my comment again, you will find that I said none of the things you mentioned.

Suicide bombers at least really have skin in the game compared to blowing up people half way around the world by drones at the press of a button. If you want to look down on people, then do it for their reasons to fight or the targets they

The Palestinian state also didn’t exist. Sure but even though I myself used the term state in my comment, I do not think that states are what matters. What matters are the people living in the region, it is their right to decide what shou

I did not say there were no offers but that there was no agreement. Both sides made offers but none was accepted by the other side. To stick with the right to return issue, the Palestinians demanded a wider right to return than Israel was w

Sure, I have no doubt that there are a lot of reasonable people that wish to settle the conflict and that have proposed ideas to reach that goal. But if I sit down and write a peace agreement, that is worth nothing, and if does not get impl

Spoiler alert - it is not 100 percent completely true, not even close.

The first two do not count, Israel did not even exist. They had nothing to offer, they wanted to take some of the land from the Arabs for their own state. They owned less than ten percent of Mandatory Palestin that they had purchased from A

Unfortunately, there have been eight attempts to give the Palestinians their own state and its been rejected every time. Can we have a source for that claim? I do not know how you would arrive at the number eight and how any offer would q

But terrorism is always bad. Suppose some country occupies another country and the occupied country has no proper army to fight back, therefore they resort to methods of unconventional warfare to fight back against the occupation. Would s

This is all one conflict, it does not make sense to treat this as an isolated conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. And it is dishonest [1] to portray the conflict as Israel resisting various groups that want Israel removed from the map an

It was most likely a supply chain attack integrating explosives into the pagers, this article [1] says the affected devices were from a recent shipment. The explosions are way too violent for malfunctioning batteries. [1] https:/&#x2F

This article [1] has an image of the pager and a video supposedly showing one exploding in the bag of some guy while shopping groceries. From that I would suspect a supply chain attack integrating some explosive, that seems way too violent

I am quite deep into dangerous half-knowledge territory here, but I think this is wrong. The optics of a camera will transform a point source according to its point spread function [1] and you are then integrating the contributions of all p
