You are advocating for the killing of random people just for where they work. Many of them also happen to frequent this forum. I don't think this is something you should say out loud, and I definitely don't think it's somethi

I'd start with the objective before anything else. "In Hearts, you get points - points are bad, and the objective is to avoid getting points." Everything else is framed around that, IMO.

I also read A Tale of Love and Darkness this year, it was great. And A Desolation Called Peace, or really that series, is one of my favorite SF reads of the last 10 years, I've recommended it often.

You know, I misread your opening sentence at first and thought you said you are proud of this. And I gotta say, I've considered a few times lowering my "target" books read per year, to make more time for studying, reading a

Out of curiosity, do you also listen to audiobooks? And dammit, I thought I read a lot, and here you are beating me.. I'm only at 101 this year... :)

It's on my list, really looking forward to reading it. I actually ran into it a few weeks before that article, then again when the article came out.

Not the parent, but I am a full-time employee (I run a software business but work at it full time). I also read usually 90+ books a year. The main "trick" is that the majority of books I read are audiobooks, usually at 2x or even

Elon Musks's entire net worth right now is $334 billion. If you take all his wealth somehow and divide it among all US citizens, each would get $1000 total.

What I'm saying is that to the extent you can infer from Abu Ghraib that "Western values are to commit sadistic torture", then you can infer Israeli values by pictures of IDF soldiers doing whatever. I think that extent is ve

Israel isn't "indigenous" or not, it's a country. I think the same as the historical consensus - there was a state called Israel where the Jews lived, they were ethnically cleansed by the Roman Empire. Call it whatever y

That's fair, and an outside view is usually a good idea. But I also have a general rule that you should never judge a whole group of people as inherently evil or immoral, without attempting to understand them on their own terms, see th

You call it "looking away" (if I understand what that word means). I think that's incredibly wrong, actually. The army is part of Israeli society in a way that is very different to bigger countries. Some of these software dev

He is a member of Netanyahu's party, which is a right-wing party (though not far-right in terms of Israeli politics). He is certainly not a moderate , but he is far more trusted than Netanyahu and is considered a moderating and opposi

Antisemitism specifically refers to hatred of Jews. It doesn't matter whether it's the most accurate term given that it's anti- semitism ; that's still what the term means.

> Not to mention there are more semitic people than Jews. Accurate, but irrelevant. The meaning of anti-semitic has always specifically been hatred of Jews.
