> One, Hamas isn't doing this. You sound confident, stating it like it's a fact. Care to share your sources?

Things are not simple, and a simplistic take of this matter is very prevalent, sadly. I mean, what are even the real numbers? Did you forget about the Hamas rocket hitting a hospital in Gaza, which they claimed was Israel's bombing tha

Alliance is not about love and trust. It’s about interests. Indeed, for an alliance to be possible, trust is needed, but only to a certain extent. Don’t mistake alliance for friendship. The former is between political entities, while the la

Normally workers unionize to improve their poor conditions vs an abusive employer, and when they have little to no ability to find another job for similar/better terms. Is that the situation for software devs where you’re at?

Once they've voted for whomever made the best election campaign, can now do as they please, sans checks and balances that exist in a modern democratic country. Once this government has been established, they started pushing their refor

It's worth noting that many of what Likud voters today deem as "left wing" was actually done by the Likud in the past (like the human rights base law [1]). Essentially, when you actually gain power and have to take responsibl

Basic Law in Israel is made in the same process as regular law, so it can't be relied upon for depending the public from the regime. The UK is a monarchy, so... In all seriousness, I don't know enough about UK law and government s

> just not "we find this unreasonable" That's an over simplistic representation, which you may have done in good faith. The coalition MPs are making it very hard to assume that they spread this narrative in good faith. The

It may be that the supreme court has too much power, but the executive branch actually has executive power, which the court does not. In the meanwhile, the parliament is held hostage by the government, by the power of coalition and party di

The government being able to fire an MP from being a minister in the government is a strong deterrent against this minister from voting against the coalition. The coalition and the government are one, in effect, mainly due to coalition disc

It sounds like you imagine a totalitarian regime’s rise as a one hit move, with it rising to power and immediately abolishing laws, etc. in reality, it’s usually a slow crawl with another kind of freedom being taken away every time. With an

BTC is an official currency in San Salvador, which is arguably indeed a failed state. I’d argue, though, that it’s just another symptom of the reasons which made it a failed state in the first place (populism, corruption, etc.)

I worry that we’ll now see more broken web apps, given the lack of type safety in Python. I know that JS doesn’t guarantee that either, but at least you can choose to work with TypeScript. True, there’s mypy and alike, but their hard to int

For sure younger managers are intimidated by managing someone who reminds them of their dad (or mom? Unfortunately unlikely). How can startups that are almost all 20-35 year olds overcome this?

But then you have to work at it, looking behind your shoulder that you’re not accidentally allowing something you don’t want to. I’d much rather pay for a system that will do as much of it for me.

To me the word spy and the term ex-intel paint a very different picture of the person being described. When I realized this guy was just in the 8200 unit I literally giggled at the notion that all those 18 year old nerds are all spooky spie
