Eminent officials say NASA facilities some of the “worst” they’ve ever seen
  • Space will be inevitably be dominated by corporations that are multinational. This is early days with a mix of government and private companies that are not so global.

    It’s just how economics work. I think there will be a handful of companies later

  • Israel Gaza: UN says Israeli air strike killed six of its staff
  • Yes, Reagan once stopped Israel cold in a few minutes, with most of the time waiting to find people to talk.

    Israel is completely dependent on the USA in several important ways. An American president can ride roughshod over military plans using several threats and actions, these are not illegal under USA law.

    And, more subtlety, if the direct power play is considered unwarranted, the president can halt arms deliveries if the target nation is doing war crimes.

    But political will at this time is a misnomer, this is up to only on one man, Biden.

    Political will in congress will be muted no matter what the population feels. And this has nothing to do with individual Zionist leanings, although some are sincere in their support. But Israel has blackmailed many of our esteemed senators and congressmen due to their own mistakes. We, as a nation, really do not elect officials pure as the driven snow.

    This is something remarked on for decades, since the 1950s. It’s a fact their spy service has more representatives per square foot of capital area than all other countries; although for some reason it’s slipped out of fashion to discuss it in the last few years

  • Israel says ‘highly likely’ its troops killed Turkish-American activist
  • I live near the bottom, and I see a lot of anti Palestinian stuff, mostly pretending the Palestinians do not exist, with a random anti-Semitic accusation thrown it.

    And it’s not just the democrats, I see this in many western nations. It’s a stain on many parties who speak many languages.

    If the killings stopped today , this would be only a black mark against those involved. Something to get angry about by many. Accusing fingers could be pointed. Perhaps even reevaluation by some.

    But we are only a quarter through the genocide. This will last months or years more. Many will be killed in the future. So this is an active crime scene. Those that will have fingers pointed at later are still doing harm now, and will do harm in the future.

    Not just the high level politicians, but in all levels of each country. There is collective guilt , and that is not ended either

  • cohost to shut down at end of 2024.
  • They tried, that’s what counts. The vast majority of people who can do this only dream, even me.

    And it’s not a cost barrier ( especially if your instances scale up) so much as low morale

  • Ginni Thomas news boosts calls for Clarence Thomas recusal ahead of Supreme Court term
  • I think nothing much will happen if she wins.

    And that is a victory, a functioning government *, that’s better than a tear down of government , etc

    But there is so much damage. A center right president cannot fix it, and there will be worse to come over the months and years.

    • not applicable in all states. Functioning may vary
  • Republicans threaten a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote
  • I don’t think they are conservatives, although they call themselves that. Democrats are conservatives.

    Classic conservatives conserve: this is a mob who could not individually list one thing they want to keep from changing. They want as much change that makes them the most money

  • Nate Silver predicts Trump has 64% chance of winning the electoral college in latest forecast
  • I don’t know many people (boomers and younger) who answer the phone from numbers they do not recognize. I would like to imagine that the people who do answer strange numbers tend to be out of touch. Bias in the polls to fools or the lucky who are not spammed ?

  • AI's take on XML
  • Over time I have matured as a programmer and realize xml is very good to use sometimes, even superior. But I still want layers between me and it. I do output as yaml when I have to see what’s in there

  • Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides
  • The fact they are a small resource makes me think mistakes will be made. It’s all well and good to combine code by others to make this work. But it’s so easy to mess up in the final product unless they make a lot of effort and also allow outsiders to check out what they are doing internally.

    I personally would not use them for sensitive or illegal transactions until much later after others use it a lot

  • Mark Ruffalo slams US govt after Israel shoots dead activist
  • Usually the awkward wording is avoided by not mentioning the victims individually at all. There are too many of them each day. They blur into daily totals .

    But here we have a pretty young American. And people will be talking about her for at least a week. And people who write these headlines are out of practice saying just one person was killed.

  • Trial begins in alleged ‘Trump Train’ ambush of Biden-Harris bus in 2020
  • Nobody charged because the perpetrators are wealthy and connected. I would be amazed if this civil action suit did not languish in court for years.

    This occurred close by me, and I remember the chilling effect this had on all democratic campaigns hundreds of miles away.

    The sheriff and other local law enforcement agencies helped prolong the harassment by not doing anything despite multiple 911 calls. This was a combination of complicity and fear.
