There are numerous clips of Rabbis openly promoting the extermination of Palestinians.
They use the story of Amalek from the Torah.
One of the Rabbis I watched recently said "when you kill the first child it breaks your heart [...] then you start to enjoy it."
_Many_ Rabbis are demanding that animals, children, women and unarmed males be "erased." IDF soldiers are bragging about killing and raping civilians on social media. One IDF soldier was complaining he hasn't shot any children under 12 yet.
Concerned about these R&D layoffs and startup closures. I love startups and cannot go back to the mind drudgery of corporate offices. Remote work changed my life for the better.
Feel like there's a massive recession coming and it's time to hold onto my job as long as possible, sell my house and start a company.
Aiming for 10 - 15 years of runway (without tapping into my retirement accounts) to make this succeed.
Already learned Software Development, now it's time to learn Copy, Marketing, Sales, Accounting, Recruiting, Networking, Social Skills, etc.
Looks like it from the Documentation. The User and Developer Guide references Atom quite a bit (includes the original Atom docs too)
An aside, but I wish more webpages for applications put screenshots on the front page. Probably would had made it easier to notice if the application was based on Electron or not
Yeah. Their idea was to reduce the population until you reach a number low enough that is viable for the ecosystem. The population would then be "maintained" at a stable level. Most people would not be able to afford children.
You could make child-rearing unaffordable enough to require government assistance. Then that assistance could be limited by quota. There's a lot of things that could happen in the future. We don't really know. It's just a guess.
Another thing that In vitro fertilization solves is allowing for women to focus on their careers from age 20 - 50. If people in the future are going to live longer and be healthier, then it'd be feasible to have children (through surrogate) at the age of 50. If you'd already amassed enough wealth (or had privy to subsidies), I couldn't see why not...
Surrogacy will be the next big thing. Women in poorer countries will birth the children for wealthier nations. This will aid in the reduction of family formation in poorer countries and serve as population control. While ensuring no one country becomes too populated.
H.G. Wells pointed out that we cannot have population control in one nation of the world, but not another. It must be worldwide, or it'd result in severe unrest.
Julian Huxley, H.G. Wells, Charles Pincus (and many more) made this one of the defining issues of the 20th century. The Pill and IVF were long in the works and heavily funded as a means to avoid the "Population Bomb."
They envisioned a new world without war or environmental destruction. Their solution was to reduce the birth rate, through various means. The reduction of family formation being one of them.
It's interesting to read through these older works and realize the world they'd envisioned has to some extent come to fruition.

> Fast forward to today. A program to load /usr/share/dict/words into a hash table is 3-5 lines of Perl or Python, depending on how terse you mind being. Looking up a word in this hash table dictionary is a trivial expression, one built into the language. And that's it. Sure, you could come up with some ways to decrease the load time or reduce the memory footprint, but that's icing and likely won't be needed.
I'm going to be honest and likely argued with, but my standard of living has been falling for a long time. Even while my income has been steadily increasing.
I've been in a recession for the past 10 years. If you don't hold assets you've been in a recession/depression whatever. It's been miserable.
Meanwhile most of the physical services are getting worse. Healthcare, road conditions, housing, etc.
This isn't progress.
People have become obsessed with manipulating digits and symbols, rather than building a physical reality.
Agreed. Bought a chromebook and made a distro that boots into neovim for this reason.
It's fanless. Cost $45. Makes almost no heat after tweaking. Has a 12 hour battery life under use. Basically functions as an electronic (abeit more advanced) typewriter.
Since the screen is 11 inches. I usually prop the Kindle on one side of it and use nvim in vsplit mode. Half the screen becomes e-ink. Can read and take notes at the same time.
My concern is that these unprofitable unicorn companies are employing highly competent and employable engineers that other companies will want to hire.
This will cascade, causing smaller companies to layoff staff, so they can replace their low performers with experienced developers on the market at slightly higher wages.
Half the population has low to no income. Manufacturing was gutted and sent overseas in an effort to integrate China into the world order.
Russia exports way more resources and has decrepit living conditions.
LNG will not make up for a fall in GDP due to supply chain, monetary or political issues.
The risks are piling up for a black swan, but it's not a collapse. Western Civilization is far from collapse, but it might be entering its long decay. That's difficult to quantify.

Netanyahu is a moderate. He's not an "extremist."
