  • Then how are they a threat?

    I don't know how much of a threat they are, but incompetence and ability to harm are two different things

  • The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.

    The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.

    The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.

    The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.

    Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

    Just when I feel like dystopian news can't really disturb me anymore...

    Leaving this totally unrelated article about Palantir and Israel here for absolutely no reason at all...

    How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:

    A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.

    Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.

    Let me fix the headline - Israel commits more state sponsored terrorist attacks in neighbouring countries.

  • It's like that saying goes: "The law is the same for everyone, neither the king nor the beggar may sleep under a bridge."

    That's BS. The king would never need to sleep under a bridge and if he chose to the police would be there to kick out the homeless people and make sure the king is safe for the night.

  • As opposed to the upper limit of morality and ethics of those who are carrying out the unprovoked attacks?

    The only difference between Israel and a terrorist organization is PR and budget.

  • There's a rules-based international order. We make the rules, and guess who gives the orders.

    So why is Vladimir Putin not in Hague?

  • One weird thing I noticed is the children inheriting the welth also tend to be psycho. Perhaps having everything you need destroys empathy?

    Does that imply that we should avoid getting people everything they need?

  • So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians? Are any Israelis condemning him for that?

    So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians?

    I don't think any of those articles claims that Netanyahu let these specific attacks happen, so I think your conclusion is pretty wild. There was some pieces of intelligence about a possible attack. Do you know how many similar pieces of intelligence they have and deal with every day?

  • They're an Islamic Republic. That puts a certain kind of upper limit to their intelligence, not to mention morality and ethics.

  • jeez you're a racist scumbag POS.

    It's not racist to say that a theocracy scares a lot of smart people away. I know multiple Iranian families who all fled Iran after 1979 and came to Europe. All highly educated, all very opposed to the Islamic Republic that ruined their country.

    What do you mean, "no further replies"? Are you referring to the toxic people I blocked?

    Are you one of them?

  • Oh are they also bombing refugees that they themselves created? My goodness, someone should stop that!

    Humans have rights, not states, and Israel's existence as an apartheid state is mutually exclusive with the rights of the humans living there.

  • Yeah, seems like the lesson is build nukes at all costs, as it's the only safeguard against attack.

    Also see Libya's nuclear program.

  • Please understand that I'm not some liberal, and I'm open to your perspective. I'm not being argumentative, I'm just asking for a source. I'm interested in finding out more about the Nuremberg trials, and typically google suggests libbed up shit, so I'm asking you specifically to help me out.

    I understand, and it's good that you want to find out stuff.
    I'll gladly try to help.

    I think it's important not to focus on Nuremberg but understand the purpose of it in the big picture about WW2.
    Like I said, the Nuremberg trials where a show trial.
    To say to the world: 'look here, justice has been done and the bad nazis are punished, we can move on now'.
    They made an example of those on trial and the world could enjoy watching a few of them hang.

    I'll post some links to what is swept under the carpet and never taught in schools, the uncomfortable truth that US/UK/Eu capitalists had no problem with fascism and helped it survive.
    That they went to great lengths to save awful warcriminals and made sure other nazis remained in power in Europe.

    The support for fascists continued post war too:

    Covertly, as for example in Project Aerodynamic

    But even openly, as they saw no problem in accepting clear fascist states like Spain (Franco), Portugal (Salazar) or Greece into NATO.

    Wikipedia sucks ass.

    And 1979? LOL
    When they removed the US installed shah regime.
    The Iranian equivalent of Cuban gusanos.

    The US/UK ruined their country when these vultures overthrew the democratic Mossadeq regime to steal their oil as always.
    And you know it.
    Iranians are highly educated now,
    They produce as many engineering graduates annually as the United States.
    70% of them are WOMEN.
    So suck on that and stick to playing your games kid.

    Wait these genocidal idiots really called it "Operation Narnia"?

    wtf

    vomits on ground

    This would be disgusting if it was just a normal act of war, of killing soldiers and calling it a cute name like this to disguise how any war is a tragedy, but there is a much more serious red flag here about Israel and Israeli society, this shows a blatant disregard for the humanity of these SCIENTISTS by assassinating them and making a joke out of it about sending them to dream land. Not only is this murder, the motive is a blatant lie, Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon that is undeniable and unarguable based on the overwhelming evidence.

    If you still think that Israel and the US aren't coming for science, freedom of thought and peace in general you are a fool. I live in the heart of this dying empire, the US, and let me tell you, they are coming for you if you are a scientist, run or fight, either is fine but pick one soon before it is too late.

  • You didn't check any of the links I gave.
    No surprise then you know nothing and are one of those who typically only heard of 'Operation Paperclip' where they used some 'harmless scientist' like Werner Von Braun, etc...
    Who was not only a member of the nazi party but an SS member.

    So nazi whitewasher, look at the links and explain why they evacuated an entire SS-Galizien Division from ukraine?
    The ones who murdered 40000 jews in 2 days at Babi Yar and put 4000 antifascist civilians in a mine shaft and then blew up the entrance leaving them to die horribly?

    Or why save warcriminals and let them live their lives in S-America?

    Nobody is harmless - regardless of philosophy or origins - particularly when they work for the military.

    look at the links and explain why they evacuated an entire SS-Galizien Division from ukraine?

    Seems that your mind is made up, why don't you elaborate.

    Jesus they killed everyone in the apartment complex including their kids how is this not a war crime?!?

    "Seems that your mind is made up"

    I show facts and know that the US/UK were/are supporters of fascism since it's the ultimate state of capitalism.
    No need to elaborate, maybe look some things up since you clearly don't know much about it.

    And "Nobody is harmless - regardless of philosophy or origins - particularly when they work for the military."
    Sigh, you even misinterpreted that and ignored the punctuation.

    I'm not a kindergarten teacher so not wasting more time on you,

    Of course they will try to get everything from your phone. They are neither better nor worse than their American counterparts. I would never take a personal PC or phone into either country, and whatever I'd bring back I would consider compromized.

    Gemini is just a web replacement protocol. With basic things we remember from olden days Web, but with everything non-essential removed, for a client to be doable in a couple of days. I have my own Gemini viewer, LOL. This for me seems a completely different application from torrents. I was dreaming for a thing similar to torrent trackers for aggregating storage and computation and indexing and search, with search and aggregation and other services' responses being structured and standardized, and cryptographic identities, and some kind of market services to sell and buy storage and computation in unified and pooled, but transparent way (scripted by buyer\seller), similar to MMORPG markets, with the representation (what is a siloed service in modern web) being on the client native application, and those services allowing to build any kind of client-server huge system on them, that being global. But that's more of a global Facebook\Usenet\whatever, a killer of platforms. Their infrastructure is internal, while their representation is public on the Internet. I want to make infrastructure public on the Internet, and representation client-side, sharing it for many kinds of applications. Adding another layer to the OSI model, so to say, between transport and application layer. For this application: I think you could have some kind of Kademlia-based p2p with groups voluntarily joined (involving very huge groups) where nodes store replicas of partitions of group common data based on their pseudo-random identifiers and/or some kind of ring built from those identifiers, to balance storage and resilience. If a group has a creator, then you can have replication factor propagated signed by them, and membership too signed by them. But if having a creator (even with cryptographically delegated decisions) and propagating changes by them is not ok, then maybe just using whole data hash, or it's bittorrent-like info tree hash, as namespace with peers freely joining it can do. Then it may be better to partition not by parts of the whole piece, but by info tree? I guess making it exactly bittorrent-like is not a good idea, rather some kind of block tree, like for a filesystem, and a separate piece of information to lookup which file is in which blocks. If we are doing directory structure. Then, with freely joining it, there's no need in any owners or replication factors, I guess just pseudorandom distribution of hashes will do, and each node storing first partitions closest to its hash. Now thinking about it, such a system would be not that different from bittorrent and can even be interoperable with it. There's the issue of updates, yes, hence I've started with groups having hierarchy of creators, who can make or accept those updates. Having that and the ability to gradually store one group's data to another group, it should be possible to do forks of a certain state. But that line of thought makes reusing bittorrent only possible for part of the system. The whole database is guaranteed to be more than a normal HDD (1 TB? I dunno). Absolutely guaranteed, no doubt at all. 1 TB (for example) would be someone's collection of favorite stuff, and not too rich one.

    I feel like I'm in those years of You really want a 3d TV, right? Right? 3D is what you've been waiting for, right? all over again, but with a different technology. It will be VR's turn again next. I admit I'm really rooting for affordable, real-world, daily-use AR though.
