Hamas are not good guys by any stretch, but unfortunately they are the folks bargaining for Gazans. In the face of continued Israeli aggression, disregard for international approval/law, and stated plans it's no wonder they're demanding that any deals have rock-solid guarantees on an enforceable timetable.
30 minutes in: "And you don't have to change anything if your dishwasher is working for you. But honestly, you're probably not watching this if things are working for you."
Totally. There's a funny story about this question going around the Princeton Advanced Studies center. Some would see the trick, but many would get stuck on trying to add up each portion of the journey.
And then they took the question to von Neumann. It begins to consider it and our come 15 km. They're elated and say, you must have gotten the trick. "What trick? All I did was add up the geometric sum." And a couple of insanely smart people left dumbfounded at how smart von Neumann was.
2 cars approach each other, with 20 km between them. The speed of each car is 10 kmph. At 20 km apart from each, a fly starts traveling from one car towards another at 15 kmph. Once it reaches the other car, it turns back and starts towards the first car. It continues to do this until the cars meet/collide. How much distance does the fly cover in total?
Israel has never offer and has reject multiple permanent cease fires when offered by Hamas. This one offers a "complete ceasefire" and "end to hostilities". There's no reason to believe that Israel would accept this one else the US uses some of its leverage.
Over the last fifteen years of having read him, I find myself coming back to him to gain clarity of our current situation. At first, I couldn't tell if he was a genius or mad man. I tilt towards genius now.
I'm very much the same way. Sales people are just give me hints of what not to trust and usually fold under any sustained inquiry about their product. Skilled sales people know when to turn me over to their subject matter expert. We get to geek and I actually learn a thing or two about their product and, often times, the state of the industry.
One of the things the above post doesn't include are the people who championed her. Between Elliot Barnathan, the cardiologist whose lab she was initially hired into, to David Langer, the resident who was able to get her a job in neurosurgery department, she was lucky enough to have someone who could do the hype while she did her work brilliantly.
In the publishing world, a great editor can recognize the genius of a writer, give quality feedback, and protect them from the moneyed interests.
I don't know if I'd call these people hype men, as they were so much more than hype, but they definitely hype the genius of the patronee.
I ran out of money.
