My guess is that this is going to be a guy with an odd axe to grind sort of like in Japan when Abe was shot. There’s still plenty of political assassinations but they’re usually more sophisticated than “Walk up and start firing away.”
He’s a controversial leader, obviously, but the assassin didn’t seem like a professional.
AIPAC also donates to hundreds of Republicans. They don’t discriminate when it comes to corrupting Congress.
In the U.S., the census department defines the metro areas based on a number of factors (like one factor is the number of commuters). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area
There’s also a larger combined statistical area that often involves multiple major cities that are close enough to form an economic region. For instance, DC and Baltimore basically share suburbs and are connected by public transportation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington%E2%80%93Baltimore_combined_statistical_area
I believe greater is only used colloquially here but the UK’s Office of National Statistics uses “Greater” in a formal way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_London_Built-up_Area https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Manchester_Built-up_Area
I assume that’s why it’s part of North American vernacular.
Yeah, I’ve always found the Guardian to be one of the only reliable newspapers in the UK. I don’t know where that’s coming from. Maybe football transfer rumors or something? Even with that, they’re pretty responsible. The rest of the English media just makes shit up.
A lot was destroyed but a lot of it was looted and and sold to sleazy collectors. Remember when the guy who owns Hobby Lobby got caught buying looted artifacts?
Still horrible, obviously, but at least there’s some hope looted items will be recovered.
I’d be curious to know what is a quid pro quo if not this.
This isn’t what you’re looking for but don’t dream of being a businessman. Dream of making something that solves a problem in people’s lives. Definitely learn about business. You need both. If you just want some money, go to an elite college and go into corporate law or finance. But you’re never going to become for real rich if you don’t solve a problem.
I think my Fermi Paradox explanation is that space is really fucking big and hostile and protecting the planet you evolved on is the only real option.
At the very least, we can agree that this is not a normal war and both Hamas and Israeli actions require an investigation. Hamas, being a terrorist group and not a state actor, should be treated as a terrorist group. They don’t represent Palestine at the UN and no one in their right mind recognizes them as anything other than a stain upon the world.
Israel (and Fatah) have a different level of responsibility. I understand that October 7th was despicable. I hope Hamas disappears. But Israel, if it wants to be in the community of nations, has to conduct war in accordance with the laws of war. And I don’t think they have.
I would obviously say the same about the Rohingya genocide and the unfolding one in Darfur. Never again means never again. I’ve been to the genocide museum in DC and concentration camps in Europe but also the Rwandan genocide memorial and others. I think what we’re seeing is a genocide. Nothing is clear in the fog of war so it won’t be clear today or tomorrow but the UN is not wrong for investigating.
Zionism means different things to different generations. To younger people, it’s about expansionist Israel trying to take over the West Bank and Gaza. They take Israel being a regional power for granted. For older generations, it means Israel facing existential threats from other regional powers. But Israel hasn’t faced an existential threat for decades. As bad as Hamas and Hezbollah are, they’re fighting asymmetric warfare and not actually going to wipe Israel off the map.
There are, obviously, a few people who want decolonization but that just isn’t happening. It’s like demanding every white and black and Hispanic person in America go back to their homeland. Half the people have grandparents from different countries.
And on the other side, Israel has to dismantle settlements in the West Bank. Or, what they deserve, is to be minorities in a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders. No one will have that but me, though, so dismantling the settlements is the only realistic option.
Total power move. If they’re global, your colleagues will know you’re the Beyonce of the band and can do whatever you want.
Yeah, this sounds amazing. It also sounds like it’s being limited, unfortunately, and will require additional license fees from the OEM on top of the Thunderbolt 4 ports. Hopefully, that’s just for the launch and it opens up soon.
Apple has had “target disk mode” for a long time where you boot one computer into a special mode but that’s basically just for transferring files and not anything like as advanced. I know iPads (and I assume Android tablets) can be a second screen over wireless using third party software but it’s not uncompressed video with disk access last I checked.
