sqgl,

Today is Aaron Swartz day

sqgl,

Maybe by reading multiple translations you can at least narrow down to which the problematic passages are so then you could concentrate on them with a fluent Hebrew speaker.

I know one but it is hard to get him to stop once he gets started and he is right wing (I am left) so I don’t want to listen to his preaching. Nevertheless if you give me a specific question I will ask.

sqgl,

There are a lot of processes which Android doesn’t let you run anymore, eg how much CPU each app is using.

sqgl,

I don’t understand how to install it. Looked in Google Play store but didn’t find it there.

sqgl,

Thanks. Maybe someone can freshly watch the doco and fill us in.

Just to be clear, MIT’s role was to catch him out by finding his hoovering laptop hidden in the janitor’s cupboard and reporting him to cops. JSTOR didn’t want to prosecute but the government did, presumably because he helped scuttle SOPA & PIPA and was clearly going to be a powerful thorn in their side in future.

Unfortunately MIT gave the government the excuse they were waiting for to destroy him.

That is what I recall from the documentary anyhow.

Israel could have gone along with this and still attacked Hamas but I suppose they knew there would be Palestinian civilians killed so they wanted the excuse of “But muh hostages!”.

I predict the swap will be done now that Israel needs no more excuse. Hamas leaders will be able to (or allowed to) flee, just like Arafat fled the Beirut siege, calling it a victory.

sqgl,

What deal were Hamas offering at the start?

sqgl, (edited )

Sorry. I misjudged you. Been on Reddit too long. No room for nuance there.

The significance is that media is still often relaying Hamas claims as if fact and you might have been relying wholly on such reports.

That hospital incident was clearly Hamas bs from the outset - no photos, a video of the carpark leaked within 24 hours, Al Jazeera themselves unwittingly streamed live footage of the misfiring rocket.

sqgl,

Hamas & Likud think that way.

Ironically the party folks killed on Oct 7th would have been anti-Likud types.

sqgl,

I doubt it. He is fighting for political survival. He is probably a goner regardless but even he realises that to do what you suggest would be political suicide. He only cares about himself.

Are you by any chance in denial of the PIJ missile which misfired into the hospital carpark a couple of weeks back? The one which Hamas lied was a direct hit by Israeli bombs killing 500?

sqgl,

Soon they will be wanting dick pics.

sqgl,

Should, would, could. AI is trained on what it scrapes off the internet. It is only feeding the Augmented Idiocy which is already a problem.

I think you mean 12ft. It was shut down by the ISP about a week ago.

Is this the same guy resurrecting 12ft? Who owned the domain?

sqgl,

16⁰C is not the temperature they were sitting in. What is wrong with you? How many times must you be told?

sqgl, (edited )

your own picture shows 16°C

No, it shows 21⁰C. Why are you looking at the minimum temperature? That is totally irrelevant.

You can see from the photo that it is the middle of a winter’s day (sun is slightly lowered in the sky in winter at midday, not directly overhead).

On Thursday, a video emerged of men rounded up, forced to stand in formation, and then to sit down in the street

So let’s get even more accurate. That particular Thursday it was 22⁰C in the shade. Perfect temperature to be sitting out in the sun comfortably as it happens.

Thursday 7th December Data

There were dreadful bombings earlier and yet you want us to focus on this non-story.

sqgl, (edited )

This was far down in the story therefore many of you may have missed it…

We do know that some of these men were released after having been detained initially. One of Hani’s cousins was released after a couple of hours in detention. So it may be that many of these men that we’ve seen in these videos have since been released by Israel…

This is northern Gaza we’re talking about. They were given an evacuation order, and it might be that the Israelis feel anyone who remains poses a threat because they didn’t leave.

sqgl, (edited )

it seems that they have gone from house to house, apartment to apartment and arrested all of the men who remain.

We just happened to see that video and then: Oh, crap. This is my brother; this is my nephew.

Is the journalist seriously implying this was unnecessary because the IDF could root out Hamas by just asking family members?

sqgl, (edited )

stripped them down into their unmentionables in the blistering cold, which is inhumane if you ask me.

About 20⁰C in the shade and they were sitting down in the sunlight.

Weather data

sqgl, (edited )

If it would have been 5°C this could ave caused serious medical issues. it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

If it would have been hailing they could have been knocked unconscious.

If there was a hurricane they could have been dashed against the concrete walls.

If there was a meteorite they could have been pulverised.

If they didn’t have dicks they could have been women.

If they were 5 years old they would have been children.

If they had long necks and four legs they could have been giraffes.

sqgl,

Really? I know they used to be an RSS feed where you could search for the mp3 name. I find it is a lot harder nowadays because the actual name is hidden via css.

They all want user stats which is what they get when we use an app to access the feed.

Worse as in Hamas are right to call the offer insulting?

300 litres of fuel yields only half the power I calculated?

sqgl, (edited )

"This quantity is not enough to operate hospital generators for more than thirty minutes,” Hamas added

This sounded like an exaggeration to me but it checks out by my calculations (correct me if I am wrong).

This website calculates 300 litres would generate 2.85 MW hours. If what Hamas says is true then the hospital would have to be using 5.7 MW of power.

I compared this with the state of Victoria (pop. 6.7M) Australia where the hospitals in total use 147MW of power. In non-wartime that Gazan hospital probably serves about ten times fewer people, which would be 14.7MW. Admittedly an Australian hospital’s power use is probably more profligate.

He is a hero

investigated too much

No. That is bs. Only the prosecution said that. The article notes it too if you read carefully but deliberately (IMO) gives you the wrong impression.
