For total number of casualties I take Hamas number. For militant casualties, Hamas does not give any number, so, I have to use Israeli number as the most reliable. By the way, Israeli number for civilian casualties is also not so far from Hamas.

Honestly, shit happens during the war. Yes, the mistakes should be investigated, guilty punished etc., but it is a big picture which is important, not a few incidents that are easy to use for propaganda and internet points.

In my mind there are 3 questions that needs to be answered

1. is war justified?
2. what is civilian to military kill ratio (basically to see if civilians are killed without care)
3. what are the goals of the war, what are post war plans

For the first question, I do not know how anyone with straight face can say that the war is not justified when a neighbor attacks you and purposely and barbarously kills 1300 people and takes about 200 hostages.

For the second quested, it is urban warfare, and if anyone cares to check, the ratio of 10 to 1 (civilian to military) is quite typical. In this war, Israel achieves ratio of better than 2 to 1, which says to me that IDF is really careful not to kill civilians unnecessarily.

It is the question (3) where I have problem with right now. Mostly because it is right wing government in Israel and there is no clear out of war path suggested after Hamas is destroyed. But here we can wait and see. Israel is a democracy and I hope her people will make right decision.

Ah! Good point.

US naturalized means US citizen, just born in different country. What logic they can possibly use to defend that (unless they themselves are American Indians, which somehow I doubt)

Well what about US born only citizens? What is it about white Canadians, but US naturalized?

$1000 fine is not even a slap on the wrist.

Sometimes it is unplanned obsolescence. I mean most TVs will not survive being dropped from the table…

So, phi should be a single letter, right? It is single letter in Greek and other languages.

Having English as second language, you don’t have to convince me that spoken language and spelling are only loosely related. While being dyslexic does not help either, something dies in me each time I am spelling “eye”, or “year” and struggle with the words like philosophy (fylosophy?).

That’s true for every language, and maybe even more so. English is dominating the world, so the chance of inglish words and idioms getting to other languages is higher than from other languages to English.

The funny thing is that the answer is 100% technically correct. There is indeed post on quora that states that including coconut.

Or maybe he exited the tournament because he was about to die? Which one the cause, which one the effect? We can only see the correlation.

Counter arguments

1. technology develops exponentially, while humans are … static
2. even now single line of code LLM generates faster and cheaper
3. the replacement is not programmer-LLM but programmer - (programmer +LLM). LLM is just a tool.

That’s exactly how a black hole behaves.

I am convinced now.

So, at this point it is cheaper to change iPhone battery in Apple Store. Wow.

The question was asked about what can you possibly charge.
