Hamas is a genocidal, racist organization who declared in their charter peace talks are "a waste of time and vain endeavors".

Yeah, maybe this is fabricated. But we do not need to collect evidence to be able to judge who they are. They state it proud and clearly.

article 13, "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."[6]

Must be fun to negotiate with a party for peace, who declared in their charter that all this is "a waste of time and vain endeavors", alongside genocidal racist fantasies.

Israel politics has it's own "gems", but I find the Hamas hard to top. These aren't accidents, this is all intentional. They don't want peace.

If you want to kill all Jews anyways, why wait until they reach adulthood?

"The Hamas credo is not just anti-Israel, but profoundly anti-Semitic with racism at its core. The Hamas Charter reads like a modern-day Mein Kampf." According to the charter, Jewish people "have only negative traits and are presented as planning to take over the world." The 1988 Charter claimed that the Jews deserved God's/Allah's enmity and wrath because they received the Scriptures but violated its sacred texts, disbelieved the signs of Allah, and slew their own prophets.[36] It quotes a saying of Muhammad from a hadith:

The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

Multiple commentators, including Jeffrey Goldberg and Philip Gourevitch, have identified this passage as incitement to genocide.[8][9]

The coin has to land sometime and at any given time it has spent as much or more time facing the way up it started, so it has more opportunities to land that way up. The fewer times it spins, the more pronounced the effect.

I think that's only relevant for coin flips which last for less than half a spin. Probably much less, considering momentum.

So maybe this means that 0.8% of all coin flips make less than half a flip. They basically just throw the coin up, without changing it's rotation?

I don't see how the number of times it spins could have any effect, as 1 spin is equal to 3 spins, or 101 and 57895.

But it matters if the coin spins at all.

It makes some sense from a military perspective to destroy certain enemy positions. Centres for command and communication. Missile launch sites, missile workshops, storage facilities.

Yes, Hamas is probably already very good in adapting to strikes on these, and the infrastructure will be rebuilt in a few years tops. But if that means less missiles fly into Israel for a few years, it could make sense militarily.

It is a dilemma this infrastructure is interwoven into a civilian, urban area. Whatever you do, someone will have good arguments to blame you.

Of course, the surest way to avoid [Palestinian] civilian casualties is to not drop any bombs. But since that also means Hamas will have it easier to make and send new missiles, or plan and launch new border raids, not dropping bombs does not maximize [Israeli] civilian safety.

I'm aware this conflict is way more dirty than it may sound here.

vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes

My comment referred to this quote. It's a comparison between how heavy two things are regulated. Neither needs to be heavily regulated for this comparison to work.

What’s too heavy about how cigarettes are regulated in your country? I’m in Canada and when I smoked cigarettes I never felt like I was obstructed in making my own choices.

I'm fine with how cigarretes are regulated in Germany. Could be still heavier. I'm not fine with regulating vapes as heavy. Especially taxes.

It's ridiculous when vaping becomes more expensive than smoking. This creates incentive to quit vaping and smoke. Should be reversed.

Many mundane things are less harmful than cigarettes and shouldn’t be regulated as heavily

Why not? We regulate the shit out of food and medicine and those are the exact opposite of harmful when everything goes as planned.

That's two different kinds of regulation. You're referring to regulations to make things safer. These are great.

I was talking about regulations to make things less accessible. These are great if the things are dangerous.

It makes sense to make things less accessible which are more dangerous.

Yes, I think decoupling is worth a lot!

Also true what you say about more addictive due to reasons.

Overall very informative comment, thanks!

Do you keep your vape device stored somewhere over the years in case of a relapse? Or do you get a new one when needed? I see arguments for both sides.

Well done! Stay strong 🤜🤛

A very slim chance. 24 hours is very short notice, and the circumstances make it very difficult to relocate so many people.

That's targeting the people inside the tunnel, not the tunnel itself. Since people are probably supposed to return to these areas eventually, I guess Israel would not consider it sufficient to clear the tunnels temporarily. They probably want to destroy them permanently.

I found it much easier to quit vaping, compared to cigarettes. There are nicotine free liquids, so you can slowly wean off.

Waste is a whole other argument than health. Different types of vapes perform very differently.

My refillable definitely produces less waste than regular smoking.

Single use vapes should be banned or much less accessible than refillables.

Yeah, me too. But I think the point was about ads, not usage.

Shouldn't that be an argument to regulate it less, not "as heavily"?

Many mundane things are less harmful than cigarettes and shouldn't be regulated as heavily.

Edit: typo

First of all, thank you! <3

Population bottleneck: I'm reading about a bottleneck 900'000 years ago. Isn't humanity only 200'000 years old?

I'm also very interested about the climate conditions and 98.7% of humans "being lost". What climate caused that dying? Does that change somehow relate to today's climate change, and does the risk of population reduction translate as well?

Lol, true. Then let's rephrase it a bit: They shoot rockets in the expectation to hit civilian buildings, if anything.

Interested about opinions.

Would it be better if the dev would use separate accounts for professional communication, and private opinion? Like, separate life from work?

Stories like these can make it less likely that other people contribute to the code, making the platform grow slower, which affects all instances.

Right, thanks for the corrections.

In case of GAN, it's stupidly simple why AI detection does not take off. It can only be half a cycle ahead (or behind), at any time.

Better AI detectors train better AI generators. So while technically for a brief moment in time the advantage exists, the gap is immediately closed again by the other side; they train in tandem.

This does not tell us anything about non-GAN though, I think. And most AI is not GAN, right?

Who else counted the fingers before reading the text? I save you the hassle, it's 5.
