Slashdot already does that in the headline ("Canon's Advanced Chip Machines To Cost a Fraction of ASML's Best (bloomberg.com)") so you don't even have to read TFS and can wait for a dupe from an approved source. Did you think the dupes were just the editors not doing any filtering?

That's why New England should go with year round Atlantic Standard Time.

When Israel first occupied the territories with Palestinian refugee camps, and had a much less right wing government, they did what a normal state responsible for caring for refugees does: built housing and civic structures. The Arab world went apoplectic, because the Palestinians have to remain in misery in their camps until they take back the land their ancestors left.

Every move has been calculated to worsen conditions for the Palestinians and teach the Israelis not to try any sort of olive branch. The recent attack used intel from the work permit program intended to get money into Gaza's economy. Of course this meant much of that intel was on the Israelis willing to hire Palestinians. Both sides of the conflict have been played for decades.

If Israelis die because of a 10 year old shoddy bomb failing and detonating below a building, it isn't going to reflect well on the government that previously took that land, or the one in power. Gaza is going to be a literal minefield, and that's discounting all the booby traps.

Even Naftali Bennett's ultra-right-wing fantasy about fully annexing the West Bank has Egypt taking Gaza back. They could never be sure they cleared out all the tunnels. Any new building could be on top of a degrading ordinance cache or supply depot.

If the tunnel network is anywhere near as expansive as they claim, then between airstrikes to damage key nodes and the underground fighting that's going to come, there may be nowhere safe and stable on the surface.

For the same reasons, Hamas has to punish Israel for any aid, benefit, or mercy to the people of Gaza. This attack came after Israel's work permit program, which was supposed to let Palestinians bring home money. Hamas used it for intel on Israeli targets (specifically on Israelis willing to hire Palestinians). That program isn't going to happen again. We can be certain Hamas considers hijacking aid shipments a high priority, to keep them from their population and force Israel to choose between dead Palestinian civilians and supplying their enemies.

This has been going on since Israel first occupied the territories. They tried to build functional neighborhoods and civic structures for their new charges, but the Arab world was furious about moving people out of the refugee camps to anywhere but where they or their ancestors had come from.

I think a big part is that we have a congress that represents "the states" and "the people", not a parliamentary system where parties get seats and then form coalitions. Essentially, the actual parties pre-form the two coalitions, and then primary voters pick which party they'll try to get into office in the general election. We've seen gridlock in parliaments like the UK and Israel, but the speaker debate could have been resolved with a moderate party getting concessions to switch from the Democratic opposition block to vote for a non-extreme Republican.

Another part is that the representation of the people has become drastically disproportional. The result is a small number of people who can play kingmaker, and whose concerns become high priority. In Israel, the ultra-orthodox had just enough seats in parliament to force their pet issues to be adopted by the right wing. They didn't really care about the rest of the platform.

They've spent a century wishing to get back to the now-mythical time when they had complete control: their own movie theaters, exclusive actor contracts, no alternative ways to experience their product without going through their ticket counters. It just turns out that doesn't map to the modern world, and they've been salivating over a rotten steak.

No. Red Hat (nor all the other commercial distros) don't use the official LTS kernels. 4.18 isn't one, 4.14 and 4.19 are, not that Red Hat kernel version numbers match upstream anyway. "Nobody uses them" should be a mea culpa that they launched the program without consulting the expected users, but that doesn't seem to be the lesson anyone learned.

Apple is known for cancelling things at the last minute before launch when they find it's not meeting requirements.

Logically, if "American Treasure" shouldn't be wasted to defend Europe from Russia while they're still buying things from Russia, we shouldn't be spending on the operations and maintenance (nevermind the construction) of carrier strike groups to defend Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, etc while they cooperate and buy things from China.
The best move China could make now to eventually take Taiwan is convincing Americans that supporting allies is a futile waste of money better spent at home.

Continuing to support the violent mob that wanted to kill his VP was probably a wake-up call for anyone who still thought they were holding their nose and getting some policy result they wanted. The ghouls who are still with him must know he'll sacrifice their lives for power, or they're delusional.

It's state by state in the US. IIRC Virginia has or had the harshest restrictions on lockpick tools.

Sell the Navy! Countries should pay corporations to protect them, not depend on the largesse of the American taxpayer.
/s but that would at least logically follow for the "cut off Ukraine" "slice the budget" crowd...
