Khalil, a shy 21-year-old whose name has been changed, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid last October for his allegiance to Hamas. But when Israeli forces smashed through the door of his family home, they didn’t tell him why they were detaining him. He was imprisoned for six months without charge, in conditions he described as...
The Israeli government / far right / zionists WANT the Palestinian people as oppressed and radicalized as possible — to guarantee a future pipeline of terrorism so they can use it to gain global sympathy, support, and justification for killing 10-1000x and accelerating both their genocide and land reclamation.
The goal hasn't changed in 80 years. The Nakba never ended, and will not end until the entire developed world codemns and sanctions Israel — especially in depriving them of all weaponry and military support.
The process fueling Capitalism is workers making money to pay for goods and services. Once you automate a certain unknown % of the work force, the engine shuts down; Capitalism will have destroyed itself via automation. Germany during the hyperinflation of the 20's only reached 30-40% unemployment before fascist dictatorship. Fascism is currently rising around the world due to wealth inequality and Capitalism's exploitation of people and the environment.
The only solution that could possibly make any sense while maintaining Capitalism is UBI. Could you provide any solution that doesn't involve mass murder or starvation of the unemployable? I have yet to see any solution from anti-UBI commenters in almost 2 decades.
It's the Schrodingers democracy of the shrodingers "free" world we live in — Politics is pay to play, corporations are people and both can donate unlimited money, wealth equality is worse than the guilded age, but we totally have "democracy" bro. Also you should shut up and support a genocide because we're fighting to prevent the fascists from taking power, which will surely lead to genocide... Only worse!
This is the kind of discourse you get with a 2 party system ruled by a corporatocracy masquarading as a democracy — the propagandized neoliberal drones are most of the comments you read. Ultimately vote for Biden, because the alternative is literal Christian fascist dictatorship, but give Biden and neoliberals hell; make them believe they're gonna lose all the way to voting day.
The climate crisis has little to do with what is physically or technologically possible. It's all about economics — what is feasible, and what is most profitable. In Capitalism cheap, dirty, and destructive will always win the race when the alternatives are less profitable.
The majority will not accept their 1k flight costing 5 or 10k. The human population simply will not accept a forceful phase-out of GHG's without alternatives that are equal or cheaper. We're greedy, and the greed is concentrated at the top.
Yes and no. All externalities that impact others are non-consensual, but you could extend that logic to the consumption of any finite resource and even moreso for inefficiency — the current markets inefficient consumption of that finite resource means there is less for everyone, and increases the price and opportunities for everyone, with people born later at an inherent disadvantage. You could extend that logic further to any alteration of the environment or natural world whatsoever; to all human consumption. Using any resource creates an external degradation in the availability and opportunities of everyone else regarding that resource.
The free market doesn't have a solution though — essentially zero capitalist orgs have chosen to voluntarily consume less or cease emissions. The ones that do are at a competitive disadvantage due to higher costs vs competitors — laws and regulations are required to level the playing field so the competition is fairer... A free market solution is an oxymoron. The free market created this crisis.

Yeah, it's not like western governments, "intelligence" agencies or police would ever beat protesters, persecute political dissidents, murder civilians, torture suspects in designated black sites, ally with dictatorships who torture and murder journalists with bone saws, overthrow democratically elected governments, or engage in any behavior that is horrifically anti-democratic or anti-human rights.
That time when the west was historically great was a lie. We were only better than fascism or communism, but our ruling class, the politicians they own, and their corporations have always engaged in horrific shit. Ours just hide behind the media and a liability shield of a dozen LLC's, or do it hidden behind closed doors — unless you're a palestinian, protester, communist, or a dozen other groups who are okay to oppress publicly at any given time.
It would be Whataboutism if I defended the accusations against China or Russia. I explicitly said we were better — just only better than the bottom of the barrel — and the whole point of my comment was to refute the right-wing nationalist fantasy that we were historically "strong", "great" or "righteous"; a time that never existed in reality.
I suggest you learn what maketh a logical fallacy.
I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
Should ... Should we tell OP that nobody understands all of any moderately large codebase, especially the sub-dependencies ... or that even the thousands of developers who wrote most of that code don't understand how their own code works anymore?
I could read the same book every year and I still won't remember most of the minor events on my deathbed. Doesn't mean I won't remember the key components that make up the story — coding is like that, except the minor events and key components can be rewritten or removed by someone else whenever you go to read them next.
Can't elect competent accomplished geniuses because they're young, but can elect near-death dementia patients.

Yep. I'm willing to make 10% less to be fully remote. Given the alternative is fewer days of sleep each year, plus many more in time spent grooming and transiting, then the cost of transport and lunch, to ultimately get less done, both at home and at work (with the same deadlines) I might even take 15-20% less.
For many Jews, Zionism signifies a connection to Israel. But a large number of student protesters see the violence in Gaza as a logical conclusion of the late 19th century ideology...
Stealing people's land from underneath them and giving it to another people (especially based on religion or ethnicity) is both a crime against humanity and a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (created 6 months after establishing the state of Israel), but the west just accepted Zionism because the majority of jews were white Europeans, the colonialists who dominated the league of nations didn't consider brown people to be people, and none of them wanted to allocate any of their own land due to their own antisemitism.
Zionism has always been a crime. We were just lied to and told things were "complicated" by the same colonialist oligarchs who call the Islamic extremism their own historic crimes created and amplified "complicated".
The best argument for conscription is that, like politics or the police, the psychology predisposed to choosing it is not necessarily the most beneficial to be involved with it.
If you could choose to serve only in natural disaster relief, humanitarian, or aid operations it would make it significantly less conflicting.
Ultimately the requirement to be involved with, and potentially murder, in anti-democratic or anti-humanitarian operations, and acts of aggression, that could have been decided entirely by self-serving corporate or political interests makes conscription a dealbreaker.
Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.
Hopefully she's given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.

None of the wests failings prevent it from currently enabling a freer and objectively better quality of life for the vast majority. She does not face persecution in the west. In China she has, and will continue to; especially under the social credit system.

It's evidence that we live in corporatocracies masquerading as "democracies". The 0.1%, shielded by the liability protections of the corporations they own, and their armies of lobbyists — they finance our politics, choose who ends up on the ballot, and shadow write most of our legislation, policies, and regulations.
Trump is free because he is a part of that < 0.1%.
The Boeing execs who oversaw systemic fraud, lied to the FAA, and murdered 166 people still ARE FREE AND RICH. Why? Because they are the 0.1%.
The IPCC hosts fossil fuelled climate summits in fossil fuel exporting countries, inviting fossil fuel corporations and lobbyists to attend — at a scientific conference about how to solve the crisis they created and profited from! why? Because we live in corporatocracies.
The masterminds are the < 0.1% capitalists who have corrupted the entire system, financed the GQP into mainstreaming fascism, and financed the Democrats into the only alternative — ineffectual neoliberal lapdogs.
Corporations are literally dictatorships where money is speech, and the structure of the entire corporate world is authoritarian — sitting right alongside fascism and the polar opposite to democracy (and worker co-ops). Never forget, Nazi Germany was a ChristianCapitalist dictatorship. The 0.1%, and their corporations, were more than happy to finance and partner with Hitler, right through the Holocaust — no different to the way they've financed and partnered with Russia, Saudi Arabia, the CCP, and countless other authoritarian criminals, right through the genocide of the Uyghurs and Palestinians. The thing they hated most about communism was that they couldn't buy it out, and weren't the top dogs controlling the capital.
Trump and every corrupt politician is just a vassel of capitalism doing what capitalism does when it isn't kept on an extremely tight leash — capital and power accumulation at any cost. After all, the only force more powerful than too-big-to-fail corporations is a government for, and by, the people.
All of these comments about CCP subsidies and flooding the market with cheap goods are hilarious, considering fossil fuels have received several trillion (with a capital T) in subsidies every year for generations, and the fact that most of the products you buy are already manufactured in China.
If we didn't want this to happen our governments should have invested in clean tech R&D and industries decades ago, and prevented "globalization" from offshoring everything to China. This is our governments and corporations fault... They've already had their cake, now they want to eat it too.
1/5th is low, and doesn't appear very different to the general female population.
This really just highlights the underlying problem and why our "efforts" are destined to amount to little more than shuffling deck chairs on the titanic — humans are selfish, and most of us are not willing to make major sacrifices to avert disaster; hell, most struggle to accept minor inconveniences.
I was referring to the general female population not having kids for any reason.
A quick search resulted in articles indicating that the average for the 21st century is somewhere between 1/6 - 1/9 around the developed world. One would expect the people most aware of how fucked the future will be would be dramatically less likely to expose their own children to that — not 20-80% less likely.

This is one of the core purposes of a governments existence — to protect citizens from the unethical/immoral sociopaths that capitalism's for-profit nature encourages and rewards.
If they're too corrupt or inept to perform that function then they don't deserve to govern.
This just speaks to how much of a failed state the USA is — that the only option left of ((batshit insane fascist dictatorship)) is a neoliberal geriatric career politician, owned by corporations and the 0.1%, who supports a genocidal nationalist ethnostate.
The controversial part is that Google does not apply the same age restrictions to Israeli musicians promoting genocide and calling for pro-palestiantian artists to be murdered.
Scientists say emissions from burning fuels like coal must ramp steeply down to protect Earth’s climate, yet there was an increase in electricity made from burning fossil fuels. China, India, Vietnam and Mexico were responsible for nearly all of the rise....
This is irrelevant due to Jevons paradox. That's why we're still burning peak fossil fuels, have released 25% of all GHG's this century, and will release another 25% before 2030 2040. All renewables to date have only been additional energy sources; they will not reduce fossil fuel consumption until we've already solidified 3-4c (especially given how energy intensive robotics and AI will prove to be).
The ONLY way humanity stops burning fossil fuels is if the people rise up en mass and FORCE their governments and corporations to keep the fossils in the ground, and everyone accepts that we have to pay more for a lower standard of living. That is about as likely as capitalism collectively choosing to stop wasteful consumption... So just enjoy the ride until the collapse. The entirety of human civilization will only ever commit to shuffling deck chairs on the titantic. The only circumstances powerful enough to change that are a meteor, supervolcano, highly fatal epidemic, nuclear war, etc. Luckily fossil fuelled warming will cull the herd for us within the next 50-100 years.
I always suspected that China's early investment (and guaranteed dominance) of renewables would result in the western "free worlds" ruling corporatocracy artificially inflating energy prices to continue their fossil fuelled death cult.
I'll note that 2.5°C of warming by 2100 is a significant improvement over the trajectory we were on a decade ago, even if still far from where we need to be
Oh he's guilty as sin. The problem is that the entire "free world" is actually just corporatocracies ruled by the top < 0.1% of wealthy individuals, their corporations, and lobby groups — each masquerading as "democracies" but 90-99% of their policy, legislation, and regulation is auctioned off to the highest bidder(s).

So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn't authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256 or...
I think this question might be missing the point of TOTP and protection it provides. The reason 256/512 is used to encrypt data and passwords is to prevent the possibility of brute force and other attacks (e.g. using other data breaches). This doesn't really matter with TOTP. They can't reverse engineer a TOTP password out of you. They can't use your info from prior breaches to gleen what your TOTP might be anywhere else. It's not something where "cracking" the hash is likely to be attempted, as an attacker would still have to capture the generated codes and time of input in some way, then brute force hashes until they generate one that produces the correct codes at x time. Why would they ever do that when it would be a thousand times easier to compromise a device or TOTP app, and scrape the hashes directly from it; negating any need to brute force?
Note: I am not a cryptographer and have not implemented a TOTP server, so I could be completely wrong.
TL;DR 256/512 wouldn't necessarily increase the security of TOTP at all.

Most of modern civilization wasn't built by the current S&P500 — most of them didn't exist 50 years ago, let alone 100 — it was built by humanity, collectively, over thousands of years.
That fact won't stop any individual or corporation from trying to claim absolute dominion over the entire human population, all derivative works and resources, or the rest of our descendants futures, for all eternity.
It turns out America doesn't just negotiate with terrorists; it in fact completely abandons any illusion of democracy, or a justice system, under the threat of terrorism — as long as it's an oligarch from the private elite boys club.
Yeah, the smiling seems more like desensitization. He doesn't seem to promote, excuse or justify the crimes. He knows they were horrific.
War is hell. None are moral. The difference is that some are completely unjustifiable (e.g. aggression or imperialism vs self-defence). Human rights abuses, rape, murdering civilians, torture, and psychopathy are present in every single warzone in history, and committed by both sides; though the volume of crimes can be extremely lopsided.
