The amount of exploitative powers that the US gives these abusive companies is absolutely insane. The minimum that's needed for such transgressions is the jailing of responsible management staff.

It's not as easily dismissed. Many US companies cancel internships/employment offers after the candidate has spent a considerable sum on travel and housing. It's even more heartless when employment visas are involved.

For some very litigious companies, they're let off easily after causing huge financial and emotional strain to individuals. They should be punished, penalized and forced to compensate the victims for these.

The common factor between their support of Zionism and their domestic antisemitism, is hate. They support Zionism since they hate the Muslims. They're domestically antisemitic because they hate the Jews. They're motivated and driven by hate. They are the poison that the civilized world dies on.

The euphemistically named 'Hague invasion law' actually only promises to take any action necessary to avoid being held responsible. In real terms though, any military action against Hague will deeply polarize the world and destroy the current world order where the US enjoys some dominance and influence. The resulting scenario will see the US attracting the hostility of a lot of formerly allied nations. It will be worse than being held responsible at the ICC. So you're kind of safe.

I have heard this tape. While it's distressing, it's something worth hearing. Not because it's pleasant to listen to people die. But because it's worth remembering their pain so that those mistakes are never repeated again.

Remember that the engineers, technicians and other support staff of Apollo 1 didn't have the option of turning off the audio either (I listened to it to partially feel what they felt). They worked feverishly to save their colleagues who were burning to death only a few inches away from them. And to finally reach them to find out that it was all in vain.

This would have been a horrifyingly painful experience for NASA. And it did have an impact. NASA changed in an instant. No effort was spared in keeping the future astronauts safe. So much so that a deeply crippled Apollo 13 still made it back safely. And no lives were ever again lost on the Apollo missions. That's the power of a personal connection to a tragedy. I watch a lot of accident investigation documentaries, including rail, aviation and space. Nothing drives the lessons deep like the depiction of human tragedy.

Just imagine. If only the aircraft manufacturers could see the final moments of the passengers that die in their low quality aircrafts. Perhaps they would try hard to avoid such incidents rather than chase profits at any cost.

RIP: Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, Ed White. The bravehearts of Apollo 1.

I was hoping to not engage in this discussion. But I have never seen such a hypocritical take on current affairs.

You have talked about antisemitism and genocide here. Antisemitism is real. But what Israeli supporters are doing here is to use that to shut down genuine criticisms of criminal activities. Your past history of persecution doesn't give you a free pass to do the same onto others. You can't claim racism to oppose the criticisms you receive due to your activities. Stop hiding behind strawman arguments.

And what do you mean by 'cheapening the genocide'? That it's only genocide if Jews die at the hands of the Nazis or other antisemites? Or that the Palestinians are too cheap to be considered as genocided when they are killed en masse? Are you even honest enough to talk about the Palestinian casualties in terms of cause and numbers and still claim that it isn't a genocide? Genocide has a well defined meaning. You don't have a monopoly on it to twist it to your whims.

It doesn't take too much common sense to see that the Israeli response to Hamas' initial wrong doings is greatly out of proportion. Hamas incursion was just an excuse to justify the ethnic cleansing in the region. But all I see is this transgression being billed as anti-hamas when even children are being slaughtered. How convenient is it to club all who you don't like into a single terrorist group!

what war crimes have israeli been convicted of and what does that have to do with biden?

The same war crimes that other countries want to convict Israel of, but that's blocked by Israel and the USA. The one that ICC at Hague is trying to, but is blocked by Bibi and biden pair.

'I'm not convicted of anything' isn't a proper or even honest response when you control if you will be prosecuted at all. What you have applied is the justice of a tyrant - not that of a fair judicial system.

You're grossly underestimating the skill and coordination required by human hands. Granted that we don't notice it. But our body has complex neural pathways that do this without constant attention from our conscious mind.

Unfortunately, this is about as easy as it gets. Practically though, it isn't going to matter. It sounds like run0 will be a drop-in replacement for sudo. We will know for sure in about 3 days (at the rate at which they assimilate features).

[–] intrepid 6 points 1 year ago

Sudo also blocks almost all environment variables, with the option to set or copy them on demand. I assume that run0 will have similar facilities to propagate variables on demand.

PS: This is my technical understanding. Personally, I don't like systemd eating up all the other utilities.

Please add a single line of description of the software for those who don't know. The name gives no clue.

I get the reference. But coincidentally, the Apollo I accident was related to the same. (RIP Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Gus Grissom)

They should have thought of redundancy for the HLS. For one, you have a space fuel depot with cryogenic boil off that has to be refilled by multiple (at least 12?) starships. And then you have a slender long full rocket stage that has to land vertically on soft and unprepared lunar regolith. For some reason, my engineering instincts are revolting just at the thoughts of it.
