There hasn't been direct armed conflict since the Yom Kippur war. If you lived in Israel you'd realize they feel more secure that at any time in their short history.
I'm not claiming all is hunky dory, far from it, however your pessimistic interpretation that war is inevitable seems counter to the fact.
President Obama is nothing more, or less, than another liberal politician who feels that if only we could all sit down and talk we could all get along.
It worked with Egypt and Jordan in spite all the things you say being true.
It's seems you are a classic conservative politician thinking that armed conflict is the solution to everything (chicken hawk) in spite of facts showing the opposite (see Iraq or Afghanistan).
Again there are many things people should do, but I'm not willing to legislate. It's part of being a free society. You have the right to make stupid decisions, such as drop out of high school, eat junk food, marry too young, date the wrong dude....
there is still a power imbalance that comes from large age differences in relationships, and that power imbalance can be abused.
I'm personally against 40 year old dating 20 year olds for the reasons you cite, but that is not enough of a reason to forbid two consenting adults from doing so.
Also a professor from another department has no power over a student in any large university I'm aware of.
- Never date an undergraduate student, even if theyâ(TM)re nontraditional.
I disagree, a very good friend of mine, a 35 year old divorcee who was a mature undergrad student dated and eventually married a young professor from another department who was 3 years younger than her. Are you suggesting she's incapable of approaching this relationship of her own free will? Does she suddenly become mentally incompetent by virtue of her gender?
Sorry but you are wrong. The question has to be first of all interesting. I can come up with a million different rather hard to answer questions that do not deserve a Nobel Prize, and yes, particle physics is over represented among the Nobel prizes. I have no opinion if this particular batch deserves it or not, but overall you need a result twice as good outside particle physics to get the Nobel prize.
How do we know they won it because of those discoveries and not something else? after all correlation does not imply causation, and frankly the fact that it is explicitly mentioned in the citation for the prize is just anecdotal evidence not data.
It is factually inaccurate. For one, last I checked this Matt Damon guy is an actor, not an astronaut. For the life of my I cannot believe NASA let that one go by!!!
Also I noticed that they were using things manufactured before 2015, which this being a movie about the future, likely they would have at least one item manufactured after this date. At this point I couldn't take it any longer and I had to walk out.
Yes, I'm aware of this. Those optimizations consist mostly of relocating variables on the fly to reduce cache misses. Highly optimized code for applications like Cassandra is already cache aware and uses data structures which make optimal use of the cache. So all in all there are very little gains from JIT as compared to a highly optimized C/C++ version.
total = 0; for (val in args): total += val; return total.
But this is only the case because imperative languages have refused to evolve with the times. There is nothing stopping you from adding a function called:
Except that one is compiled off-line into blazingly fast native code, while the other is compiled to super-slow JVM interpreted p-code, and then at best compiled after a while into native code, while still carrying the overhead of JNI, baby-OS security, OO religion, incorrect parameter passing model, sacrifices in the name of portability (which at the end of the day isn't there: compile once, debug everywhere), etc.
Then after 10,000 times through a code path, the JIT-compiler kicks in and uses the profile information to rewrite the interpreted code as native code.
If only we had a way to compile into native byte code from the get go.
If there ever was a good reason for the JVM, I think it is long gone. Yet not only it is still around, now it is being copied by other languages without the least bit of thought as to the need for it.
For the normal program all it does is add a layer of intermediation slowing down your code with very little to show for it.
Their nukes are the only thing which has stopped Iran/etc from invading them for the last thirty years.
False on two counts: First the Israeli army is fierce-some and serves as much as a deterrent as nukes. Second when Israel was considering bombing the nuclear facilities in Iran, Iran threatened to invade with a combined Syrian-Iranian forces if Israel if they did so. The defense preparations by the IDF, which were extensive did not include nuclear retaliation from Israel, but conventional warfare.
This is common knowledge in Israel, since all young males are in the army so they often talk about what they are currently war-gaming against. Stopping the Iranian invasion was the thing to do for about 5 years from 2005 to 2010 or so.
Currently the main use of their nuclear force is as retaliation against an atomic or dirty bomb. Israel has made it clear that if attacked in such a way they won't spend time investigating who did it. They'll simply wipe out a few countries. In this sense the atomic threat has been rather effective as a deterrent.
The USA made a similar deterrent claim back in post 9/11 to other states: you nuke us, we sand glass you back to the stone age.
The real test is when Israel demands conscription from them. Only when Arab Israelis are trusted to guard their fellow Jews can Israel claim to be a democracy.
This I agree with, and there is already talk of changing this, but not clear if reforms will actually be implemented.
I have to exert all my self control to respond civilly after seeing the word "monetize". Implicit in that word is the idea that you want to turn everything into money. The only point in writing a program is to turn it into money. Feh!
Strawman alert. The person is asking about how to converts one thing, free software, into money so he can pay the bills. RMS comes up with this bogus argument of "turning everything into money".
GP: As a tech employer, I would not hire a liberal arts major for a technical position, nor would their degree count for anything more than a HS diploma when hiring for a non-tech position.
PP: Every single employee of your company is either an engineer or high-school grad?
And this boys and girls is why I wouldn't hire liberal art majors either. Reading is supposed to be their forte, yet the parent post cannot even understand what the GP said. S/he creates a false dichotomy ignoring other careers such as accounting and business majors.
Again, it is you who has the wrong definition, pushed forward by Fox News and other people with interest in tainting the debate.
I can only encourage you to read up on the difference between social programs (e.g social security) and public ownership of means of production (socialism).
Bicyclists should wait at red lights just like everyone else, for example. It doesn't mean "stop, look, then proceed if you don't see a car crossing". It means you wait until it turns green.
This is called an Idaho stop and is legal in Idaho and Paris, France. Evidence is still out as to safety.
Says you, from the comfort and safety or your car. When cycling a small crack in the pavement can require a cyclist to swerve unexpectedly one or two feet. That is why minimum separation laws are there and must be followed, that is also why is even better to have separate lanes so the issue doesn't come up at all, but we have a ways to go before we get there.
I know the minimum separation distance is a meter and it's total BS.
I knew from the kindergarden whine tone of your post that you would turn into chicken shit when confronted to the facts.
For instance I can't give you a meter of room is that means I have to drive in the wrong lane, because that would violate other laws. I can't give you a meter or room when the entire lane isn't a meter wide. I can't give you a meter of room when you don't hold your fucking [very mature] distance steady and bike on the curb.
If you can't give a meter then you must follow behind until you can find the space to safely pass. That is what the law says. Laws you seemed to care so much about when they were bottle feeding your baby tantrum and now you try to dismiss so quickly when they work against you.
And by the way, I'm a driver not a cyclist. I just simply have no respect for 2000 pound iron driving cowards complaining about 20 pound cycling vehicles.

It definitely worked in that they established lasting peace with Israel. The OP was claiming it would never work. Guess what? it did, twice.

Ok, so students in general are retards. They can't possibly make up their mind in any situation and circumstance.
By the way, I also think that a manager from a different department should be allowed to date a person not reporting to them.
At some point you have to assume that people are adults capable of making their own decisions.

It's just nobody's really asking for a replacement,
Except SunOS which replaced it with SunNews,
--Ok, but apart from SunOS no one is asking for a replacement.
Well NeXTSTEP replaced it with display postscript.
--Ok, apart from SunOS and NeXTSTEP no one wants a replacement.
Android dumped it.
-- Yes, aside from SunOS and NeXTSTEP and Android, who else wanted a replacement?
OSX replaced it with Quartz as well as iOS.
-- All right, but apart from SunOS, NeXTSTEP, Android, OSX, iOS what have the Romans ever done for us, i mean who wants a replacement?
Ubuntu with Mir and the Xorg with Wayland?
--Oh, SHUT UP!

Now the question is whether Warner will have to repay millions in royalties that they extorted with their false claims.
The judge explicitly said that they should. (I know, I cheated, I actually RTFA, my bad).

There are very few Arab-Israelis, so it costs ISraeli next to nothing to let them vote.
Very few as in 20% of the population, you mean?

Nope, his false dichotomy has no room for an accountant, actuary or a lawyer, which are neither liberal arts graduates nor engineers.
