Yeah some horses are super smart. I had one that learned to open doorknobs with his mouth after seeing it used up close for a long time. Very annoying, had to start locking that barn door.

I buy a short $5 indie game. I give it away afterwards digitally to a friend. The next guy does the same thing. And the next guy.

Now the developer has to primarily make money by selling merch or ingame ads. No thanks. If the game is good, people will buy it.

You could argue people did this with physical media. But it was not nearly as impactful; I couldn't click a few buttons in seconds and hand the game away.

They probably wanted to use Rust but got frustrated by its struct and impl paradigm.

That's like...a short drive. In a supply convoy going over rough terrain looking out for drones, maybe a couple hours.

I dont see this guy wearing a headband

Only slightly related: Why don't Hamas fighters wear a colored rag to distinguish combatants?

It's one of many things they could do just like how security is a layers thing.

Does Mahmoud Abbas not exist?

What you're describing is a big hassle, and at the end of the day a confrontation and poor customer experience still happened making that customer think twice before flying again.

If the seats had more space like they used to a long time ago, nobody would care. I blame the airlines.

This premise is invalid. Hamas governed Gaza for the past fifteen years, not Israel. Palestinians held elections until they voted in Hamas, which put an end to that. Israel maintained a blockade, but Egypt also strictly controlled Gaza trade and passage at Rafah. Not being able to ship stuff from your ports sucks, but Hamas made no good faith efforts to really improve the security situation to enable easy trade through Egypt. Having significant external influence over a region doesn't mean you are their government.

They could inject random zero width non joiners to help detection too. Easy to defeat, but something a layperson would have to go through extra effort to filter out. Kinda like how some plagiarism cases have been won by pointing out identical misspelled words.

100%.Keychron keyboards are some of the best.

Yep. You do need at least a sound bar, or a stereo system with these. But most inbuilt TV audio is pretty terrible to begin with, at least on low to mid end tvs.

Well, Hamas kidnapped several hundred civilians from a music festival to use as hostages before Israel militarily invaded Gaza. Or is that fake news?

That's...Hamas doctrine. They use civilians as human shields to avoid western attacks. Israel is notably different in their approach where they have basically decided to ignore human shield attempts in order to more effectively counter Hamas. Arguably, if it never works and Hamas fighters get killed anyway, Hamas might stop doing it because being amongst civilians means there are a lot of people who can inform on where Hamas militants are and what they're doing. I suspect most civilians there support Hamas though, so it probably won't change Hamas doctrine.

In Afghanistan by contrast, the US worked with various tribal elders who didn't support al-Qaeda. This information allowed US forces to counter human shield tactics in those areas and fighters increasingly moved out to the remote regions so civilians couldn't inform the US where they were.

Actually he got a good deal. Those screens are more expensive because they don't come bundled with ad riddled toiletware, and they often have a longer lifespan to accomodate being on for so long every day. Depends on how much it got used already though.

He's just refactoring it

Well, you can always get archival M-DISC. https://www.mdisc.com/ Treated special materials to resist moisture and UV degradation. Should last 1000 years if not tampered with and stored properly. Idk what the read/write speeds are, but they offer a 100GB bluray disc option. You will be long, LONG gone before the storage is no longer intact. Obviously not "forever", but pretty close to it practically speaking on human lifetime scale.

I mean, you could engrave onto stone and expect that to last pretty much forever if stored correctly. The read/write speed and storage capacity leave a lot to be desired though.

Doesn't tape last a super, super long time? I thought that was of the reason for the resurgence of tape for archive storage.
