lol knock it off with the helplessness.

Open another tab and do one single search. 3 mins? Lol.

I wouldn’t call this journalism. It’s a jailbreak/hacking project centered around the r1. This is just an article they posted.

I know all of the above because I was capable enough to navigate to their home page and … read it.

Grow up.

On iOS hold vol up (or down) and power at the same time. It starts SOS but you can cancel. At this point Face ID is disabled and you must enter your pin to reenable it.

So yeah. As soon as you see lights, hit that cop button.

Just make sure you have all your docs on paper so you don’t have to open your phone.

If it’s vegan (is fetal bovine serum still an input?) then yes.

Any vegan who says no is saying so for some other reason besides veganism (ick factor, no desire, environmental considerations).

If your knee-jerk reaction to this is to downvote because "what kind of vegan eats meat?" - consider why you went vegan. Was it for the animals? Well, if lab meat allows us to produce meat without animal suffering then it's vegan...

I would love to see a car company create a vehicle platform with battery replacements central to the design of the car. Make larger packs out of smaller units so their larger models (or simply longer range models) simply use more of the smaller pack units. Recycle old packs back into making newer ones to reduce the need to mine more materials.

Sure, charge me enough on the replacement to keep this cycle going. Buying a car you know will get battery (and therefore range) upgrades as time goes on is a no-brainer.

Imagine the goodwill and free word-of-mouth advertising you would receive if you went the extra mile and open sourced all the software for the vehicle and allowed users to modify it if they wanted. Make the car not look like dogshit and I imagine you'd do well.

capital ,

That is very interesting and their cars look appealing.

I think in the US, a company may have a better time selling the whole car including battery and still offering quick replacement when it comes time to upgrade.

I'm about to search more but do you happen to know if Nio is selling in the US?

Edit: Dang.. Not selling in the US yet. And with these new tariffs it's not looking good.

I don’t know if I’d even blame the kidnappers for those deaths.

"We know where our people are but Hamas has surrounded themselves with their own citizens. What should we do?"

"Damn. I guess we'll have to abandon our people then. Pack it up."

Stop letting Hamas' tactic work on you.

I also wish Hamas didn't use human shields.

capital ,

Darn. Guess we just have to let Hamas and anyone who comes after do whatever they want as long as they keep their human shields nearby.

Think whatever you like.

Keep reducing everything to the color of people’s skin and you’ll continue to be confused about lots of other people’s positions on a wide variety of topics.

I’m sure it makes life simpler for you though.

Just in case you’re not totally gone, consider the Russia Ukraine conflict.

If Ukraine took action to recover their kidnapped citizens and it ended like this one did, I’d hold the exact same position. And gasp their skin is white!

Unlike lots of “progressives”, my opinion of right and wrong doesn’t change with people’s skin color.

Y'all mind if we stop pretending Hamas isn't totally cool with getting their own citizens killed?

GAZA CITY — The emergency room in Shifa Hospital is often a place of gore and despair. On Thursday, it was also a lesson in the way ordinary people are squeezed between suicidal fighters and a military behemoth.

Dr. Awni al-Jaru, 37, a surgeon at the hospital, rushed in from his home here, dressed in his scrubs. But he came not to work. His head was bleeding, and his daughter’s jaw was broken.

He said Hamas militants next to his apartment building had fired mortar and rocket rounds. Israel fired back with force, and his apartment was hit. His wife, Albina, originally from Ukraine, and his 1-year-old son were killed.

“My son has been turned into pieces,” he cried. “My wife was cut in half. I had to leave her body at home.” Because Albina was a foreigner, she could have left Gaza with her children. But, Dr. Jaru lamented, she would not leave him behind.

A car arrived with more patients. One was a 21-year-old man with shrapnel in his left leg who demanded quick treatment. He turned out to be a militant with Islamic Jihad. He was smiling a big smile.

“Hurry, I must get back so I can keep fighting,” he told the doctors.

He was told that there were more serious cases than his, that he needed to wait. But he insisted. “We are fighting the Israelis,” he said. “When we fire we run, but they hit back so fast. We run into the houses to get away.” He continued smiling.

“Why are you so happy?” this reporter asked. “Look around you.”

A girl who looked about 18 screamed as a surgeon removed shrapnel from her leg. An elderly man was soaked in blood. A baby a few weeks old and slightly wounded looked around helplessly. A man lay with parts of his brain coming out. His family wailed at his side.

“Don’t you see that these people are hurting?” the militant was asked.

“But I am from the people, too,” he said, his smile incandescent. “They lost their loved ones as martyrs. They should be happy. I want to be a martyr, too.”

It is totally justified because i am closeted racist, so who cares about women and children being murdered if they aren’t part of my group

This is such a tired response, I've already replied to it here.

capital ,

We’ll ignore the fact that martyrdom is tightly intertwined with their religion.

They’re religious fanatics. Similar to US conservatives which I assume you’d have no problem criticizing.

Your reply doesn’t address my assessment of Hamas’ attitude toward their own citizens. It’s nice and snarky though and will do well here on Lemmy.

“Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content. Firefly generative AI models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired.”

This references a single particular product. lol. If they're training a model by a different name with customer data, it would still be a true statement.

The points about lawyers and NDA's hit the nail on the head. I thought something similar with the Windows Recall debacle. That's a juicy set of data for anyone looking to find journalist sources or scrape a hospital's network. In every case it relies on the end user (business or individual) to know how to disable those features with GPOs/registry options... There's no way 100% of them realize the issue and have the knowledge to fix it.

Title says Hamas.

Evacuating civilians, calling phones and dropping leaflets to get civilians further from harm is a strange way to do that but ok.

What aspect of the points mentioned in the thread do you feel are addressed by blockchain?

capital ,

Fedi technologies are already distributed. That's literally what federation is about.

Blockchain isn't private by default although some have gone that direction. Bitcoin, for example, is pseudonymous - all transactions are public to the world though no tx is tied to an identity on chain.

Any privacy features you're imagining can be built for a blockchain solution to this problem could be built into a "normal", web 2.0, federated solution that would be far less expensive to run, resource-wise.

It's almost always the case that when someone comes up with blockchain as the solution to some problem, they mean distributed or maybe self-hosted. Neither of which requires a blockchain.

Where’d Hamas launch from?

capital ,

That link is broken. But here’s one.

Israel's military, which is trying to eliminate Hamas in Gaza, said it was investigating reports that a strike it carried out against commanders of the Islamist militant group in Rafah had caused the fire.

If Hamas is camping amongst citizens, expect this to happen again.

capital ,

I brought Reuters and you brought… whatever that site is.

Arguing this stuff on Lemmy reminds me of arguing with right-wingers on Facebook back when I had one - y’all post the most obscure sources.

And the children thing comes up too instead of acknowledging the fact that Hamas actively uses human shields by camping with civilians.

So, again, if they’re going to camp with civilians, expect this to happen again.

capital , (edited )

Hamas knows countries following the Geneva convention are more careful with noncombatants nearby.

That affords them some level of protection and you’re demonstrating exactly how with the genocide comment, besides Israel actually being more careful.

Hamas actively tries to get citizens killed to get people like you to say those things and lobby their governments to stop attacking them.

Weird way to conduct a genocide - warn everyone to evacuate an area before attacking your target.

I have no issue with the non English part. We don’t have a monopoly on truth.

I just don’t know how I’m supposed to keep track of all these news sites to know which are to be taken seriously and which can be dismissed.

Before they replied how am I supposed to know if they’re a Reuters or InfoWars? It takes too much bandwidth.

That’s about what I expected.

Thanks!

Have you ever considered that when you have an idea which seems to be an extremely simple solution to a problem that it might be more complicated than that and those closer to the situation with actual knowledge of the particulars probably already thought of it?

I'm not arguing that carrots aren't a good source of vitamin A.

I'm asking you if you've considered why those closer to the situation haven't just gone with carrots. You don't even know what you don't know. What other constraints are we working with? Do those things grow well there?

What's it like going through life thinking you know everything?

Populations have been surviving in the Philippines for millennia without the need for a proprietary spliced rice enriched for Vit A.

This has a real, "Back in my day, we kids didn't have these newfangled car seats and we lived!" vibe to it.

From the article:

Vitamin A is found in most foods in the west but in developing countries it is conspicuously lacking in diets, a deficiency that “is associated with significant morbidity and mortality from common childhood infections, and is the world’s leading preventable cause of childhood blindness,” according to the World Health Organization. Estimates suggest it causes the deaths of more than 100,000 children a year.

Evidently I didn't save the conversation but I went ahead and entered the exact prompt above into GPT-4. It responded with:

The man can take the goat across the river in the boat. After reaching the other side, he can leave the goat and return alone to the starting side if needed. This solution assumes the boat is capable of carrying at least the man and the goat at the same time. If there are no further constraints like a need to transport additional items or animals, this straightforward approach should work just fine!

Israeli army appears to be using Gaza hospital, school as bases, Washington Post reports ( www.haaretz.com )

Israeli soldiers appear to be using the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the Gaza Strip as a br for military operations, and, since March, also a school in the village of Juhor ad Dik, which is located about one kilometer from the border with Israel and was destroyed in the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, indicated...

Is now a hospital in name only. /yawn.

Imagine how shitty it would be to make an active hospital a valid military target…

Link to what you're referring to?

This is who Israel is fighting. Civilian suffering is the point for Hamas.

This is clearly a straw man argument and, notably, an avoidance of providing a link to further explain what you're referring to, for some reason.

As my clearly marked edit says, the link and excerpt provided is meant to demonstrate the type of civilian suffering which is the point for Hamas and was clearly not meant as evidence that Hamas was in "this hospital". It's tough to even try to say Hamas was in "this hospital" seeing as you haven't provided any more context for what you're referring to. For some reason.

capital , (edited )

I'm still not clear on what Israeli strike on a hospital you were originally referring to. Feel free to expand on that at any point.

Re: This picture: Refer to my original, top-level comment.

The whole point for keeping military ops out of schools, hospitals, and away from civilians is to not make them a valid target for the opposing force (assuming they abide by these rules, which Hamas does not). If this hospital is now devoid of doctors, patients, and other civilians, what's the issue? It's just a building now.

Your feigned ignorance of how Hamas' whole goal is to inflict as much harm on their own civilians is tiring and the whole reason I posted that 2009 article.

I can see I'm not actually going to get any specifics out of you here.

I'll let this exchange speak for itself for those that come by later.

Very stupid.

AWS has a holding period after account deletion where nothing is actually deleted, just inaccessible and access can be regained without data loss.

Since first hearing about this I’m wondering how TF Google Cloud doesn’t have a similar SOP.
