I know that ads are based on impressions as I told you before, but my money still has to end up somewhere even if I am using an ad blocker. So where does it end up if not as ad revenue on some websites? You must not confuse the people payin

Well, I don't give a shit about the advertising goals of Apple or anyone else, that is why I block ads. And that is also completely irrelevant, the question was whether I am screwing over websites when I am using an ad blocker. I argue

I am neither complaining nor trying them what to do with their money, that looks like a complete deflection to me. If I am buying Apple products, am I contributing to their ad budget? If so, where does that money end up? Is it likely that s

If I buy an iPhone, does some fraction of the price contribute to Apple's ad budget? If so, where does that money end up? What would change if I did not block Apple ads?

Of course, they will not get paid for me visiting the website if I block the ads, but that was not my point. People have already bought stuff and with that paid for the ad budget. And that money will be spent somewhere. Maybe someone else w

But the entire reason that the web is so frustrating is that visitors don't want to pay for anything. They are already paying, it is the way they are paying that causes the mess. When you buy a product, some fraction of the price is

I did not downvote the comment - I never downvote anything - but the argument that Israel gave some kind of sovereignty to the Gaza strip in 2005 just does not match reality. Israel removed its troops from the Gaza strip but still maintaine

How many dots do we have to fill in? The next obvious one is settlement expansion, that certainly undermines the possibility of a two state solution.

The obvious evidence that Israel is unwilling to have a two state solution is its non-existence - they could do this unilaterally and just withdraw.

You mean the part where it says they did still not recognize the state of Israel or relinquish claims to all of Palestine? You overlooked the part in my comment where I said to varying degrees. Also to me that seems not too different from t

This is nonsense, the Palestinians and Palestinian organizations - even including Hamas - have to varying degrees accepted or shown willingness to accept a Palestinian state that does not encompass all of Mandatory Palestine. Israel is unwi

Israel will not agree to a right to return that might result in the destruction of its status quo. So even if you think that this would be the morally desirable outcome, it is not going to happen. How many of the people displaced during the

Do you mean what non-viable positions? First and foremost the unrestricted right to return as this has the potential to end the state of Israel as a Jewish state if Palestinians become the majority population.

This is simply not true, there was never any offer with acceptable terms. I am not going to repeat this here, this has been discussed countless times and you can easily find this if you want to.

With that I agree, once you start to treat the output of any linter as the truth, you are actively lowering the quality of your codebase. At the very least if it has reasonably good quality, if it is in bad shape, blindly following linters

Really? From a quick search I would have assumed it becomes R rated pretty quickly because of sexually oriented nudity.

by danbruc 1y ago
Is there any evidence for that? Why would it not be the opposite, why would a less tabooed treatment of sexuality not lead to better informed children with a lower risk of accidentally getting pregnant?

by danbruc 1y ago
I mean that is the point. What happens to the rating if the women does not shoot at her husband but opens her bathrobe and starts undressing him?
