No. Let's talk about the new laser, since (a) that's the subject of the /. article, and (b) what you're saying is nonsense agitprop.

No one with a brain thinks that a country that sends millions of text messages, phone calls, drops leaflets, etc. to warn civilians to leave a warzone is intending to genocide them. No one with a brain would think that Egypt is serious when they join South Africa's "genocide" case at the ICJ, yet they simultaneously keep the Rafah Gate sealed shut, preventing any refugees to flee the "genocide". It's like if there was a Jewish country adjacent to Auschwitz in 1942, and the govt of that Jewish country said "no, we'll keep the gates shut; we're concerned that if we allow them through the gates, the Nazis won't let them back into Poland." Of course that never would have happened, since Jews all around the world at that time were lobbying their governments (unsuccessfully) to take in Jewish refugees. Not so much with Arabs re the people of Gaza. There were 6M+ Syrian refugees absorbed by neighboring Arab states (nearly 1M absorbed into Germany!) during the civil war of the last decade, and no mass protests in Western cities; yet, practically no Gazan refugees have been absorbed by any countries and there are mass protests on the streets and complete saturation of social media with anti-Israel hate, like your out of place comment.

Maybe they can leverage Pixel 6's Real Tone technology to better capture the faces of suspects in these areas?

What happened to investing in capital for *production*? This is nothing more than narcissism and greed. I hope these crypto douchebags who have contributed nothing to society get a proportional return on investment.

Never mind the transition from Larry to Lana. This was more a transition from a cutting edge filmmaker to a dull, Hollywood hack.

When you say "Palestinian land", that would imply that there was a Palestinian nation (or Palestinian people) prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. There was not. Ever. Your propaganda is rubbish and devoid of historical merit.

What you refer to as "Palestinian land" prior to the British Mandate was part of a larger Ottoman province of Southern Syria (whose capital was Damascus - not Jerusalem). Your "Palestine" consisted of the Ottoman sanjaks of Gaza, Nablus, Acre, and Safed for 400 years. The vast majority of landowners were absentee- based in Cairo, Amman, Beirut, and Damascus. None of them identified as "Palestinian". Jerusalem was merely another sanjak of Southern Syria for over 300 years of Ottoman rule, until Europeans started showing interest in it in the mid-19th century, at which time they promoted it to a Mutasarrifate.

Palestinian national identity was invented in the 1950s/1960s as part of the larger pan-Arab nationalist movement. There is no evidence of it historically; no one questions its legitimacy, but some question the legitimacy of a people whose bones and history are buried in the sand and whose monuments date millennia prior to the Arabs. Palestinian Arabs do have a right to live there, since they too are indigenous. For those of you who believe that Ashkenazi Jews are European imposters who are Khazars or Slavs, etc., do a little research on their DNA. Among the few allele patterns that differentiate ethnic groups within the larger human species, Ashkenazi Jews are more closely related to other Jews (in the Middle East and Northern Africa) than any other group in the world. The next closest group are the Palestinians.

Consider this peer-reviewed article from "Middle East Review" that sheds light on how Palestinian national identity really came to be: https://www.danielpipes.org/80...

Correction: 387 children have died from COVID-related symptoms.

According to the latest CDC data (https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3), exactly 387 million school-aged children have died due to symptoms associated with COVID-19 (almost certainly all of whom had diabetes, cancer, cardio-pulmonary disorders and/or other severe pre-existing conditions. There are something like 75M children in the US under 18. A child is more likely to die from a lightning strike than from COVID-19.

The reason this was mandated in CA is that Newsom won the recall election and made promised to the Teachers Union, who was Newsom's primary donor.

All of the highly-scored comments are pro social media censorship; the majority of the zero-rated or negative comments (including invariably this one) are opposed to social media censorship. On any political topic, the comment tend to favor social liberal or progressive opinions over classical liberal or conservative ones. That's fine if the owners/moderators of the site wish to promote their political views. Just note that there will be less engagement with people who disagree with you and more bubblethink over time.

People vote with their feet. Just like the latest census results revealed that people are leaving blue states for red states, tech workers will be leaving cloistered dinosaurs like Apple to the welcoming arms of far more open and innovative companies that value their employees' preferences.

It's simply ROI for investing in rockets, tunnels, anti-tank guns, etc. rather than schools and businesses.

Go f-ck yourself.

Why do the people who signed this letter have *any* sway whatsoever in the goings-on of FSF? Are all of FSF's donations coming from intersectional nutjobs? What contributions have these individuals made to the FSF? Are they going to contribute to MSFT or Oracle instead? Please. Political affiliation, personal identity, etc. should play ZERO role in being able to advocate for free software. If these unhinged lunatics want to destroy Stallman, then he should start a new organization unassociated with these freaks and focus on free software advocacy.

Let it be the responsibility of state censors (China, Pakistan, ..) to block content. American companies should stop censoring EVERYONE's content on the basis of what offends SOME powerful people or states. If not, these so-called "platforms" ought to be penalized financially by the US, with the proceeds going to programs domestic and abroad supporting freedom of speech.

This tool is used by people to retrieve audio/video content from YouTube, irrespective of licensing. Had the RIAA worked with YouTube to prohibit downloads for copyrighted content, fine. Instead of solving a problem, they made a worse problem by removing software allowing users to interact with uncopyrighted (or copylefted) legally. I hope that engineers think twice about hosting their code on github, since they clearly don't care about licensing and the freedom of the community to share.

“[T]he peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race...[if] the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.” (Mill, "On Liberty").
