Israel has a pretty compelling argument. I wish the article had mentioned it. That they did not leads me to believe the article is biased. The argument goes like this: UNIFIL had one mission, which was to disarm and disband any military for

This is an astonishing account. I should no longer be amazed when governmental, or quasi-governmental, bodies abuse their authority in defiance of the law or reason, but it's absolutely baffling. Peripheral, but related: one of my favo

I wonder what would happen if researchers en masse were to boycott a particular platform? Disclose to the companies directly and explain they won't work with X and why. Treat any attempt by the company to kick the disclosure back to

Huh. I have never been on antidepressants, much less discontinued one, but this brain zap seems to describe a sensation I have experienced occasionally all of my life. I never really mentioned it because it was hard to articulate and neve

This kind of policy and publicity leads to drops in app quality. Seems quite risky to spend time and money on mobile app development.

It's ridiculous that civilized nations have strict rules for war. There should be no war. Except there is war and no one has yet figured out a way not to have war. Given the reality of war, we are profoundly lucky to live in an era whe
