Most importantly, they don't let you substitute a different passenger. If you get sick and can't make your flight, but your friend wants to go instead, you have to let your ticket go unused and your friend has to buy a (now much more expensive) last minute ticket.

If there is to be any hope of peace, such cases need to be prosecuted just as strictly as what Hamas did.

If you store them separately (or use U2F/WebAuthn/security keys), yes - it gives you some protection you if your password manager gets hacked.

If you just store them in the same password manager - no (except that some sites require it or create additional pains in the ass like forced e-mail based 2fa unless you have 2fa already).

The Mossad will hunt and kill them, the FSB will start with their families.

I didn't check for this one, some news communities require it, some don't.

Still shouldn't reward news sites for doing this unless you want more clickbait titles.

If the community allows, posting with a better title is also an option.

I guess it could be done as a Bandersnatch-style experiment on one streaming platform, but it's so far from the regular way things are done that it seems unlikely.

Thanks. (Clickbait title = article downvoted)

It works well enough to be shown for a few seconds at a keynote for static pictures in some cases. It won't yet work well enough to be permanently known as the official "remastered version" for moving video consistently.

Now, someone uploading a watchable version on YouTube? That will happen in the next years if it hasn't already. But that version would be widely ridiculed if released officially because something, somewhere will be off and fans will notice.

And because Hamas leaders don't want to find their entire families (regardless of which country they are in) delivered to them in small pieces, just before they get a serving of Novichok themselves.

As harsh as it is, the color aspect definitely plays into it, but part of it is also expectations. Israel is expected be a developed place that's at peace and not committing genocide. "Country X in Africa is in a state of {war, civil war, Warlord war, genocide, famine}" happens so frequently that it feels like "county X in Africa is currently stable and prosperous" would be newsworthy. That's probably not reality, but that's common perception, I think.

Adding imagery that reliably looks good is currently beyond what AI can do, but it's likely going to become possible eventually. It's fiction, so the AI making stuff up isn't a problem.

Upscaling is already something AI can do extremely well (again, if you're ok with hallucinations).

That's why I provided the ranges I was able to find.

Countries with resources won't have a reason to "devolve into war". Countries without resources won't affect much beyond that country. Why would logistics get disrupted?

I also think you're overestimating the effect. Optimistic studies claim something like 8% impact in 2100, pessimistic 18% in 2050, which is a tiny effect per year.

Again, humanity deals well with slow changes. We're mostly talking about "the economy grows by one percentage-point less quickly than it would without climate change" for the worst affected countries in the absolutely worst long term estimates (something like -65% by 2100), and a fraction of that for most countries. Just to be clear, we're not talking about "x% less than now", we're talking about "x% less than it would have been without climate change". It's likely that over time, despite climate change, the standard of living even in those countries will continue to increase, unless they, as you said, devolve into (internal/local) wars for mostly unrelated reasons.

Have you read 1984? The UK was always using it as an instruction manual and trying to do their best Airstrip One impression.

Dealing with it.

Weather gets hotter, more people get A/C. Disasters get more frequent, more people get fucked by disasters.

Areas become less habitable, some people die, some people deal, some people flee. Migration gets more pressing? Borders get closed with increasingly violent measures.

We just had inflation make life 10% more expensive in many countries. Life went on. That's about the impact of climate change people in "rich" western countries can expect from climate change, except it will happen more slowly.

As much as climate doomers would hope for collapse, climate change is a slow moving disaster. Humans are adaptable, especially when there is time to adapt. Even the more pessimistic among the realistic/scientific predictions are on the "life will get X% worse" side, not "doom, we all die, no food no water" side.

Last time it worked, they got over a thousand prisoners for one soldier.

Taking hostages was the one thing about the entire attack that made some logical sense.

The murdering, on the other hand... that guaranteed a violent response, and doing it in the most brutal way possible and then filming it and bragging about it ensured that Palestine lost most sympanties, and Israel basically got a free pass to do whatever they wanted.

Either that or they try to take advantage and loot.

One thing they got 100% right is the idiots. I remember being really annoyed about the chapter with people pretending to be zombies, intentionally getting bitten and spreading etc...

...and then COVID happened and proved that the real world had people at least as bad if not more.
