The BBC did a good job of fact-checking and talking to experts about the Hamas and Israel death statistics. The people who study and collect wartime casualty statistics thought that their numbers were pretty accurate, although probably understated.

BBC, Checking Israel's claim to have killed 10,000 Hamas fighters, 29 February 2024
https://www.bbc.com/news/world...
Israel claimed to have killed 10,000 Hamas fighters, but has no way to distinguish between Hamas fighters and ordinary civilians. Also, according to Haaretz and +972, whose reporters are in regular contact with IDF soldiers and commanders, the IDF counts all male deaths as Hamas fighters. On the ground, the IDF has free-fire zones, or "Death Zones," in which they assume that everyone in the zone is a terrorist, and can kill them -- men, women, and children. That includes 6-year-olds like Hind Rajab.

Spot on.

More people will do real porn too, because they can always claim it was a fake.

Don't forget about Prima Nocta.

That creepy King Charles face on your wedding night...

They are only addressing the economic argument, not the human rights argument.

Typical for EU bureaucrats.

ECB, World Bank, EU, BIS, IMF, NATO - one big incestuous club.

Some day ... when search engines are invented, I won't have to write down your references to look up at the library next week.

TIL:

apt-get install git-lfs
git-lfs clone (huggingface repo url)

regular git clone gives you tiny pointer files.

PS Thanks, Babs!

The headline can only be understood *after* reading the submission.

I'll say it again - I use ReVanced because it has accessibility settings YouTube refuses to expose (default video speed, etc.)

I use it with my YouTube Premium subscription.

Google better not violate the ADA by blocking accessibility tools - that would be a criminal act.

> all these companies lock customers into binding arbitration

Don't assume this in the case of fraud or theft without speaking to a lawyer.

Usually the whole agreement is void if crimes are committed.

And you need to find a judge who agrees, not convnce the legal academy.

Yes, the damaged craft needed to be written off.

NASA beancounters and politicians took a risk. Astronauts died.

Again.

It was said at the time that the white paint on the early shuttle tanks served to also keep the foam together and reduce drag on it.

They scrapped it to save money and increase payload by a tiny fraction. But mostly to save money.

Engineers: this is necessary.
NASA Bean Counters: nah.

Every freakin' time.

Is it still forbidden for a local hospital to pay the ISP so a radiologist can get stat MRI's faster than his neighbor gets cat videos?

Some places have like 10 meg of bandwidth for the neighborhood. FCC may imagine everybody has gigabit FTTH.
