Israel's fault in what? I wonder what you mean by "Israel's fault" - i.e. what Israel should have done and didn't? Netanyahu said a lot of things over the years - including, yes, that Hamas is not going to be accept

It is interesting - though not surprising - that when asked to speak your point plainly, in case I misunderstood you - you complain I am "grossly misreading" it and refuse to do so. Of course if you refuse to speak plainly, it&#x2

Not sure how IFTTT is a legitimate use of bot detection evasion. I've been using IFTTT for many years and never needed that.

My native language is Russian, which is very non phonetic, but it's nothing compared to English. Russian just has some vowels and consonants pronounced and written differently in some situations, but there are rules and nothing like &q

That's the way of the hypocrite. While I don't object to the military action in theory, as an abstract concept, but as long as any actual military action happens in reality, I would object to it and demand an immediate cessation o

So basically is this Evil as a Service, or is there a legitimate case for this that is not identical to "stress testing is a legitimate case for me selling botnet DDos"?

They are taking issue with the actions necessary to eliminate Hamas. There's no way to eliminate Hamas by hugging it out and singing Kumbaya in a drum circle. It requires war. And not a war somewhere where there's no civilians and

What this article describes is that Netanyahu treated Hamas as de-facto government of Gaza - and cooperated with them in certain things. This is, btw, exactly what Israel has been accused of not doing - e.g. not letting Gazans work, not l

These articles are quoting one of Netanyahu's fiercest opponents - the guy that right now says they need to wage campaign destabilize the government to topple him - as if these were established facts. And, btw, one of the architects of

Most group health plans have COBRA continuation option, which means you can stay on the same plan for 18 to 36 months. If you haven't found work during that period, you'll likely qualify for one of the subsidized care packages. Th

I think this article makes it to sound more of a conspiracy than it is. Yes, google does not pay much attention to rss and stopped meaningful investment in it a while ago. But I don't think laying such charge as them destroying the rss

Not only Feedly. When greader was shut down, there was at least half dozen other apps, some of which were pretty good. I liked feedly the most so I never checked the rest but I know they weren't unique.

True enough, but I'd rather take chances with the guy who proclaims he loves free speech, even if he turns out to be a hypocrite occasionally, than with the censorship regime whose only constant worry is they don't censor enough

Is there really a space for unbounded growth with these numbers? I mean, everybody who wanted Twitter account got one. Discounting bots and campaign accounts, where would growth come from? Would one expect literally every single internet us

No, it's literally just a bunch of lies, which you probably picked up from some fourth-party retelling of the story. Damore sent it as a part of a specific conversation on specific topic, in place specially designated to hold such conv

Universities should concentrate on knowledge and teaching, not partisan political activism. What a novel thought. Maybe somebody should try it out.

Most of Russia's income comes from selling hydrocarbons, and I don't think any private individual's taxes can make a substantial dent in that. I mean, Russia is expected to make over $110bn next year selling hydrocarbons. How

The variety of products is enormous, and is deliberately made complicated by the vendors - is SHP65CM5N different from SHP78CM5N? Do reviews of one apply to another? When a new model code pops up every year - does it invalidate the old revi
