   I think there's an ethical difference between "we need to wage war on a densely populated area", and "we need to wage war on a densely populated area, let's make sure to harm the vulnerable people we encounter there

   I'm trying to see the argument for "Israel deliberately targets children", closest thing I got was "Israel has made lots of children into amputees" - can you provide more info?

   The west bank annexation happened in response to Jordanian aggression (who were joining with Egypt, with whom Jordan had a mutual defense pact, in a war I would say was ambiguously instigated by Israel/Egypt). Israel holds the territor

   I was trying to pay attention to the actual claim and I got: 1. Children died during the ceasefire 2. Israel is using larger bomb payloads than it should (according to who?) in civilian areas 3. Higher percentage of child deaths than in ear

   Maybe I misunderstood you, but I dom't believe the panopticon is Foucault's idea.

   Asking open-mindedly and genuinely: what, for you, comes to mind as an especially useful and/or powerful idea uniquely articulated by foucault?

   I think anyone of sufficient intelligence can devise an argument to frame anything in life-and-death terms. Doesn't error tolerance promote developer habits that could lead to complete downtime? During which lives could be lost? Don&#x

   Am I insane for being somewhat in favour of this? I think the accessibility of adult content on the internet is a disaster.

   I'm not sure what to think. Ukraine can't militarily defeat russia or reclaim its lost territory, and as long as it continues to try to do so, there will be war and the world will be less stable. But if a line is not drawn against

    I doubt ai will remove all struggle. I suspect we wouldn't see great extents of human passion in a world where everyone is fed, clothed, housed, etc without needing to exert themselves at all.

    I'm not sure passion exists in a world without struggle...

    Fellow cursor user here, I'm very new to it. I am getting some very convenient and welcome autocomplete. I am also getting quite a lot of bad autocomplete suggestions, which require cognitive overhead and context switching to evaluate.

    And if there is a board that will fire you if expected profits do not increase, do you still maintain this stance?

    On the matter of holistic degradation with each generation I always think about american presidential debates from several decades ago which, to me, offer irrefutable evidence of an older society with greater command of speech, wit, rationa

    Thank you for teaching me the word "perseverate"!! It's a good one!

    It would be so interesting if we came to a consensus that "cascading deletes" should apply to research papers. If a paper is retracted 20+ years later, and it has 4,500 references, those references should be retracted non-negotiab

    I think there's some argument that at scale, the mass decision to replace rather than repair furniture is catastrophic.

    Honestly I've heard this idea rephrased by many different people, but I think it's unexamined. If someone interrupts me from a complex train of thought, after, it only takes a few seconds of minor confusion before I can get back t

    I would offer that there's no use for social media! Anecdotally, I stopped using it altogether many years ago - I feel I've lost nothing for it, and I am also much happier and focused.

    I didn't read the full legal contract that came with my phone, but I assume it enumerates (in soporific detail) many of the ways in which I don't control my device. The price of convenience is a real doozy!

    I wonder about the law here: you wear one of these and get hit by a self-driving car - are you at all culpable? :)

    It looks like quite a different concept! Here neither player can move again until they've both submitted the current move.

    I hadn't known of xymyx when I made chess2! Xymyx looks pretty interesting too - I wanted to attempt to make an interesting variation on chess with minimal changes to the classic rules!
