Words like this is a spit in the face of humanity.
was Israel not attacked?
I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.
from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
Those peoples didn't like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.
Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)
If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.
Wonder if benchmarks will switch to a more sustained load profile.
I also hope that Android will get some desktop mode with maybe even linux app support like chrome os (but I of course am dreaming) to actually use the insane power in a more ergonomic environment than in my palm
Yes, the US Government is locked into many monopolies, especially for highly specialized items.
That doesn't make one more better at all though.
I disagree with his second point. We've seen for years now, that when companies act like monopolists, they become a successful monopoly. There is very little checks and balances here. Yeah, they risk antitrust actions, but those happen so incredibly rarely.
And in so far as competition, investment heavy industry like this needs billions in startup capital. Very few, if any, are going to get that.
Now when it comes to overtaking if you get pushed wide that should be interpreted one way with it absolutely not counting to your track limits violations and if you choose to run wide to hold onto the position that should be interpreted the other way.
but isn't 'being pushed wide' and 'choosing to run wide' arguable in practice?
in a battle for position, the one on the inside will take any space given.
Maybe this is the reason they get 3 free passes for these situations (running wide with no clear advantage gained)
If Norris were right and following the track limits makes for boring races, I still don't think drivers being allowed to ignore the track limits should be the solution.
First off, F1 is F1 because of the track shapes. Change those, and you arrive at Drag Racing, Nascar etc.
Interestingly, at first glance, this may be possible with the nextruder as well.
