Firstly the Six Day War occured in 1967 not 1969. At this point it is hard to take anything you say seriously.
Note that the precursor to the war was Egypt closing the Straits of Tiran something that Israel had said repeatedly since 1957 would constitute an act of war.
Sure Israel made the first military strike, but only after Egypt (in response to false reports from the Soviet Union that Israel was massing on the Syrian border) massed troops in the Sinai on Israel's border, expelled the UNEF force from Gaza and Sinai, took over UNEF the positions at Sharm el-Sheikh, overlooking the Straits of Tiran, then closed the Straits to Israeli shipping. Finally Jordon invited the Iraqi army to deploy troops in Jordon.
Oh and occupy land after a war is not illegal. Start a war and loose you get occupied and it is legal.
Well the 27th November session oy the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee was also attended by by parliamentarians from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Ireland, Latvia, and Singapore. That's some nine countries and 447 million people that Zuckerberg just thumbed his nose at. Not in my view very sensible.
Nope the UK has a constitution, it is just not written down in a single document like other countries. That does not mean it does not exist. Perhaps you should speak to someone who knows what they are talking about (my source is my brother who used to teach constitutional law at the University of Law in the UK).
The UK parliamentary committee acted entirely within in the UK constitution. Under the UK constitution it is entitled to seize the documents it did, and the Sargent at Arms it is entitled to hold anyone refusing to comply till such time as they do. The UK courts have ruled in the past (a long time ago now but that is irrelevant) that they are constitutionally entitled to do what they did.
It does not usually go this far because most sensible people back down in advance because they realize they are on a hiding to nothing. I would point to Mike Ashley and Philip Green who both recently backed down about refusal to appear before Parliamentary select committees to illustrate my point.
Consequently it is a very rarely exercised power, but just because they don't need to exercise it often does not make the exercise of the power wrong in anyway.
Oh and finally neither courts or parliament are stealing documents that they force to be produced. You are only stealing when you are acting without the law and they where acting within the law.
Indeed by refusing to testify in front of the UK parliament Zuckerberg has put himself in contempt of parliament. He has better never set foot on UK sovereign territory ever again. There was some talk of a multinational investigation lead by the UK parliament a bit ago, that included at least Canada. So the list of counties he had better not visit could be growing a lot shorter. Better not infringe their airspace in his private jet either.
Perhaps that's not an issue for him. Perhaps he is fine on spending the rest of his without setting foot outside the USA.
600 miles is more than enough provided it can be recharged from flat to full in 6 hours. It is beyond the legal limit for a professional driver in a single 24h period in the EU, and consequently an excellent bench mark for what is safe. Anything more requires tag team driving. I would have never in my entire life to date been constrained in my ground based vehicular journeys with those parameters. In fact you could dial it down to 450 miles.
Isssue is by the time you have managed to produce a 3 bit error, you would have produced dozens of 1 and 2 bit errors and my monitoring system would begoing berserk and I would be investigating what the hell was going on. That is just a University HPC facility and any sort of ECC error is sufficiently rare as to be worth investigating as it is invariably a dodgy DIMM or node.
I presume any monitored compute service would be the same. As such chances of this being used in the real world are likely to be very low.
However you are still falling into the zero risk choice fallacy. That is stopping to eating Romaine lettuce has no risk associated with it. Of course you don't just stop eating Romaine lettuce, you replace it with something else which also has a none zero risk associated with it.
Tragically sometimes the replacement item can have a higher risk. A classic example occured in the UK in 1996 over BSE. Big scare you might get new variant CJD from eating beef, so lets just stop eating beef. Instead they ate more chicken and pork in particular and there where over 1200 excess deaths from salmonella in the following 12 months. Meanwhile there have been less than 300 deaths from new variant CJD (and none for several years now) all in people who had been "infected" prior to 1996.
To further put this into context more people in the USA will die each year from accidents while getting dressed in the morning. Perhaps we should all go around naked instead, or never change our clothes, both of which also have none zero risks associated with them.
Brushing aside the notion that American's drink tea (I thought you threw it in Boston harbour)you denounce cups based on the concept that there is standardized size for a cup.
However you are fine with gallons. So would that be an Imperial gallon at 4.54609 litres (8 imperial pints) or the Queen Anne Wine gallon at 3.785411784 litres (231 cubic inches as used in the USA) or the US dry gallon at 4.40488377086l.
Then again it could one of a whole series of pre 1884 UK liquid measures all called gallons.
You don't have to lie, but if you submit the same resume for all job applications then you are going to be coming up against people who have tailored their resume/covering letter to the job description and well at that point it sucks to be you.
As a boss at a firm once said to me, send junk mail expect it to be treated like junk mail. Sending the same resume's to every employer you apply for a job at are junk mail and most junk mail goes straight in the bin.
Sure the lining of the reactor vessel might need replacing depending on what ITER is able to determine (one of it's goals is investigation of the lining for the reactor). However once it is taken out it can be stuck in a warehouse for ~20 years then recycled. Sure it might be highly radioactive but the half lives are basically all short on a human time scale unlike fission reactor waste.
Add to this the half lives of neutron activated materials are all short. They are mostly measured in days and hours. It's not like fission where many of the half lives are measured in centuries and millennia. Basically decommissioning for a fusion power station is turn it off, wait say 20 years and dismantle like anything else with no precautions.
So with the chance of anything going wrong leading to external contamination somewhere around Ä, other than I expect a fusion power station to be nosy like any other large power station and thus not desirable to live next door to, any rational person would be happy to live next door to one.
So what if there is a daily scheduled remote wipe of my phone that unless I cancel gets executed. Have I then tampered with evidence given I did nothing after the phone was seized as evidence?
Nope it's 570km to drive from border with Egypt just south of Eilat to the car park at the Mount Hermon ski area according to Google Maps. Remember you can't just zip through the West Bank. Well you probably can but it is not terribly sensible. You can even go a bit further north in theory to the Shebba farm area, though I have no idea if this is open to the public (being disputed Syrian/Lebanese land currently occupied by Israel). However as Google Maps won't let me drop the pin in the relevant location I am guessing it's closed.
Noting that the longest possible journey you can make in Israel (I just checked on Goggle maps) is from say Eilat on the Red Sea to Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. It comes in at 540km which avoids the West Bank. I can't imagine that many people in Israel make that journey very often, and it's a 6.5 hour trip so there is going to be some comfort and food breaks in there which will get you over the capacity limit. So unless you like driving around in circles current EV's are more than adequate for Israel which is a fairly small country.
Note I am assuming that the opportunity to take a trip outside Israel in a car are somewhat limited due to the geopolitical situation and as such can be discounted.
Something like 97% of the value of crude oil comes from the 3% we don't burn. That is turning oil in products like plastic etc. has far more value than burning it.
Er that that is a legal summons. It's debatable if failure to comply by a none UK citizen is contempt of Parliament. However if it is the Serjeant at Arms is responsible for enforcement and is able to call upon the civil authorities including the police to enforce the appearance.
A UK citizen *MUST* appear if called, including coming back from abroad. A non UK citizen not so clear, but failure to attend is likely to make visiting the UK in future a risky business. It has been a very long time since someone need to be forced to appear before a select committee. However next time Zuckerberg steps on UK soil he could easily find himself arrested.
The estate of Charles Dickens would like some royalties for all his books that were sold in the USA without a cent going to him would be another example of the top of my head.
The reason that spinning and weaving are often brought up is that in the late 18th early 19th century these where the high tech cutting industrial techniques of the age. They where the equivalent of chip making today.
Not only was IP theft rampant it was state sanctioned, with incentives offered to foreign nations to come to the USA with secrets that where not their own.
No greedy America spent most of the 19th Century stealing industrial secrets from Europe. What goes around comes around. Frankly I have no sympathy with the USA. On the other hand should they wish to return a few trillion dollars for all there previous stolen IP...

Parliament is "sovereign" not supreme. It is a subtle but very important difference.

Going back a bit further everything was in Latin.
No it's not. The developers are on the RedHat payroll, but RedHat do no own any of the "intellectual property" that makes CentOS.
This is IBM, if you knew anything about it you would know that Bash will be replaced with Korn Shell.
