Try to come up with a reasonable process for transitioning between the thresholds or stop pretending you’re interested in anything but proving your point.

Agreed. I’ve grown up with the development of the WWW and where we are today is completely different than where we used to be in the 90s and 2000s. The consolidation, universal access and the profit maximization via rage farming has put societies globally in an unprecedentedly precarious position. This isn’t your uncle’s Internet anymore. It’s a hyper-personalized engagement-maximizing corporate experience for all but a small fraction of people who were lucky enough to escape it. Anyone feeling I’m overreacting should spend an hour with their old account on Facebook.
To the “can’t enforce this because it can be circumvented” argument - this is missing the point of most laws. The intention is to apply to the majority, not to be foolproof. Getting most to stop a harmful behavior already gets us most of the benefits. We can never stop everyone.
Number of users is an obvious example. There are others.
This is straight up standard right wing propaganda. A much simpler explanation is that the platforms are feeding people false realities for profit. Rage gets the most engagement. Right wing propaganda works extremely well for that and as an added benefit it produces cohorts who vote in the interest of the platform owners. It’s a twofer.
But the relationship between the two continued to sour, with Gallant criticizing Netanyahu for failing to put forward a vision for the Gaza Strip after Israel defeated Hamas, and failing to reach a cease-fire deal to release hostages held by Hamas. They also clashed over the role of ultra-Orthodox men in the Israeli army – a key segment of Netanyahu’s ruling political bloc.
So Yoav “Human animals” Gallant seems to be the better of the two.
I see. Makes sense.
This came out of what Haaretz’es publisher said at a conference in London. Not out of something published in the paper.
Do you think I’m talking about Iran’s bombs? 😂
Most of the world yes. But in this one where the quantities, types and prices of the bombs used literally depend on the American election, it probably influences decision-making.
I don’t know why would Iran attack before the election since that could boost Trump’s chances and Trump would be worse for them. Perhaps this is an attempt by Israel to nudge the election towards him?
Ok, then why don’t we apply this logic to democratically electing politicians?
The interest rates are already falling and most have weathered the storm. The pressure needed to pop the bubble is being relieved so I doubt it’s going to blow up. Rather I think we’ll see a long sideways movement.
“Gift card”
I don’t see the name “Hungary” mentioned anywhere in the article.
On the surface - perhaps. But Iran’s regime has to keep its image of power for its domestic peace. Israel’s gov knows this and they do steps they know would elicit response from Iran in the hopes Iran would actually hit hard and the US would be dragged in official capacity. That would be dramatically destabilizing for the region. I reckon the US threatened Israel with real steps in order to get them to not hit targets that would have led to such escalation.
Interesting show of restraint. I wonder if this was all pressure from the US or whether Israel is actually worried about the results of a conflict with Iran.
Not noticeable with always-on Tailscale with the default split-tunnel mode. That is when Tailscale is only used to access Tailscale machines and everything else is routed via the default route.
I vomit in my mouth every time I see these dumbasses.
