Iran launches drone attack against Israel as Biden rushes to White House (www.theguardian.com)

Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting....

CanadaPlus,

I’m not quite sure how to fit Netanyahu into this analogy, but that’s also a factor. The dude doesn’t want to go to jail and it looks like he has no problem flattening the Middle East if it helps prop him up.

Still more nukes than I want to deal with today. Nobody off of Lemmy/Reddit seriously suggests this.

CanadaPlus,

It’s turns out to be a soft launch of a real policy fairly often.

CanadaPlus, (edited )

Can’t get nuked if it’s a hypothetical and you’re on a keyboard!

You know, somebody in Ukraine is bound to be taking volunteers if you’re all so committed to taking down Putin. (Not you OP)

CanadaPlus,

It could be, that would certainly be safer. I don’t think that sounds easier to set up than an explosive charge, though.

If it’s not based on physical destruction, I’d guess it’s some variant of a killer poke (so the thing is set to burn itself out or actuate parts into damaging configurations), combined with a thorough wipe of all software.

CanadaPlus,

In this specific case, a spook from the US government would be in the room with them when they discussed it, so procurement isn’t a problem. Safety would be a real concern, though, you’re right.

CanadaPlus,

TIL there’s a ton of search engines I’ve never heard of.

CanadaPlus,

Thank you! That does look like a great fit.

So that’s just solar, then? Long term, it does seem like the one that’s the biggest deal, but right now there’s also a lot of wind and hydro in the mix, so that’s another point in favour of the assumptions here being conservative.

CanadaPlus,

Yeah, when Google starts trying to manipulate the meaning of results in it’s favour, instead of just traffic, things will be at a whole other level of scary.

Does anyone really know what a guitar is, completely? Like, I don’t know how they’re made, in detail, or what makes them sound good. I know saws and wide-bandwidth harmonics are respectively involved, but ChatGPT does too.

When it comes to AI, bold philosophical claims about knowledge stated as fact are kind of a pet peeve of mine.

CanadaPlus,

Any that a laymen could tell from new chemistry? The bit after the comma was load-bearing there.

CanadaPlus,

I mean, most of the magical uses haven’t materialised. Computers are better, that’s about it. It has a few other commercial applications, but they’re indistinguishable from normal chemistry from a laymen’s perspective.

CanadaPlus,

Don’t forget intersex people exist, and even more people with chromosome issues, upon whom genetic determination might be nuanced.

The real goal, of course, is to throw red meat to his base. Non-political casualties are unimportant.

Here's why people are being so mean about the Titan going down - CBC (www.cbc.ca)

I have to say I’m not sure what they were hoping for, the discourse hasn’t felt overly mean by internet standards, but maybe that’s just my bubble. I’m sorry they died, but now that we know all the details it’s a bit like the guy that decided to hike up a lava field last year....

CanadaPlus,

Actually, the ones the government has cracked down on most are business degrees. They’re the cheapest to deliver so they’ve been used as an (often needed) cash cow by educational institutions. That’s probably more useful than learning the frost tolerance of a crop you don’t even grow at home, or treatment of temperate pests, but it’s not engineering.

CanadaPlus,

Yep. That’s the situation here I think.

This is the first anti-immigrant policy of any kind Canada’s put in place for a long time, and people are rightfully worried because of that. The thing is, we just have an absolutely insane housing shortage, and so the government has to be seen shoring up immigration somehow, or it will be vulnerable in the upcoming election.

CanadaPlus,

Depends on what they do next, right? Technically they still haven’t, but that’s a bit of a minor detail since we all know guys like Smotrich want Palestine and/or Palesinians gone, and they’re doing things that would eventually lead to that outcome if continued.

CanadaPlus, (edited )

Yeah, attempted murder is a different charge. That was, again, the point.

Technically is doing a lot of work here, that was the point.

^ You’re responding to something other than what I said, so I’ll just repost this.

The UN has written a lot about genocide, at various different levels with different levels of authority. Not all of it matches, and the only thing that’s definitely included is trying to remove a group one of the 5 ways listed.

At any rate the ICJ just today ordered Israel to halt it’s offensive; allow official access for UN war crimes investigators; and let in all of the aid it’s holding at the borders. Netanyahu immediately refused all three orders.

Yep, although that wasn’t a ruling on the charge of genocide itself.

CanadaPlus,

Technically is doing a lot of work here, that was the point.

That being said, requirement for success varies by crime (murder charges are only used if it works), and success usually has to be reasonably forseeable in the cases where it isn’t. Genocide would definitely be in the latter category, and as it is it will be very hard for ZA’s lawyers to prove to the ICJ that Israel has attempted to kill all Palestinians in Gaza, given that only a fraction are actually dead, and Israel could do it very easily if they committed to it.

IANAL

Depends how it’s focused. It wouldn’t be a straight coherent beam, because that would actually break thermodynamics if you could produce it from sunlight.

CanadaPlus,

Hah! Is that how it works?

Buddhism solved, take your robes home guys. /s

CanadaPlus,

Oh shit, really? Well, it does portray the Lama negatively.

CanadaPlus,

The Journal reported that 75,000 of the “most prolific” Redditors will have an opportunity to buy “an as-yet-undetermined number of shares” before trading starts.

Emphasis own. So, basically, they’re fishing for buy-in from people still addicted to Reddit. I wouldn’t be surprised if the offered price is actually really bad.
