The protests haven't stopped, they've been intensifying since the start of the war, especially so in the last few months. (They were larger before the war, but that's because the war itself made it much harder to protest for various reasons.)
In any case, while this government isn't popular and wouldn't be reelected according to most polls, this move against Iran is probably popular.
Actually innocent people do avoid trials. As sometime trials lead even to death sentences of innocent people.
Prosecutor manipulated icc rules and at time of filing was already known that evidence that he shows is wrong and icc still issued warrants. Why would anyone submit to such organization volunteerly ?
And as known now, he rushed warrants and cancelled scheduled arrival to Israel to see facts on the ground in order to protect himself from sexual harassment allegations
Well, um, you see, Hamas video'd themselves brutally murdering about 1200 people, including about 380 young adults at a rave, including pretty significant amounts of sexual violence and parading corpses or near dead people around Palestine.
They took around 250 people hostage.
Hundreds of thousands of Israeli people were refusing to serve in the IDF because of Palestinian oppression on October 6th. After the attacks, IDF had more volunteers than they could equip.
It's common in settler colonial societies, particularly during the period when they are still clearing land of indigenous people for settlement by the dominant group.
Here are designers hoping AI will replace developers, so they get a working app faster with less jumping through hoops and communication. All valid reasons. In reality once (if) AI can replace developers completely it will also replace designers completely.
This is really the fallacy with the AI economy that everyone is dreaming up. “A powerful magic AI will make all other roles redundant and I will be left on top capturing all the surplus”. Why will you be on top? What reason does anyone have to purchase software from you when they have access to the exact same AI?
Seems like a strawman... I don't know anyone who thinks they "will be on top" and beat the AI, it's more of a let's just make as much money as we can for now before AGI ruins us all.
> Let's be honest: you're designing to impress other designers, not users. And that's the problem.
I've referred to this as "CV driven development". Although to be fair that developer that designs a microservice architecture for 50 users is not better either.
But on the whole, I don't agree with the title. My feeling is - overall - pages have become a lot less gimmicky than they used to be.
Yes it does. A real homeless person doesn't go to the gym everyday to shower, or avoids bringing food to his tent but it's ok because "I can eat at the university", or charges his devices every day at the same university, or sleeps at their friend's place when the weather is too dangerous.
If was an interesting read and experiment, but it has its limitations as a real world comparison to homelessness.
It's not surreal, just human nature. Most people are not guided by principles. It might not even be that, but some people purposely have bad intentions and gaslight objections, and most of the rest are not interested to object and simply can't be bothered as long as their basic needs are met. If the answer to Stasi like espionage of citizens is outrage, but otherwise not because you have nothing to hide, then I conclude most people are content with living in a cage, as long as it's made of gold.
I've never smelled cyanide, but there's a distinct taste in almonds that I notice in other foods containing cyanide (for instance stones of plums, apricots, mirabelles etc. contain cyanide and when you preserve them with the stones, the taste can leach out). So I've associated that taste with cyanide.
Heh, I'm kind of in the same or similar boat. I changed jobs specifically last year to join a smaller company, thinking we'll get a lot done without a lot of fuss and stakeholders, which was bothering me in my previous job -- it was impossible to get something going. But it turned out my new small team spends a lot of time trying to do the work of 50 people with 1/10th the resources, essentially cosplaying a large brand. I said we're not X, we're Y, and let's be that because it has its advantages, but people are busy with case studies, UX, patterns etc. The funniest part is they are laser focused on a competitor and a lot of the talk ends up being "do it like competitor X does".
I worked at a medium sized company attacking a market dominated by one or two gigantic FAANGs and it was really sad how focused our leadership was on copying them feature-for-feature and watching them closely to do whatever they were doing. Surprisingly, they also had far more process and red tape in place slowing down routine things than I encountered in BigTech. They were always agonizing over easy product decisions, and second guessing themselves and waiting to see what FAANG does when they should have been taking risks and differentiating themselves. Like, come on, guys, use our few advantages over them and do something great and unexpected!
Nope, it was always stuff like: we need to do another grand redesign because we want to change our brand look and feel again.
There are things I don't like about him, and the way he is idolized by people that want to accumulate money. But I will say you can't really throw that "all that money and he's still mortal" thing at him because in reality he lived really below his means. So the money part is interesting, why did he try to get so much if he didn't really need it? I think (without really knowing anything about him), that he wanted money like everyone else to be independent, but at one point it turned into a game to see how much he can win.
Hes literally like, autistic or something. If you've ever watched the documentary on him he has a got a weird way about him. Hes got an obsessive knack for numbers and just got into the finance game where literally your job is to make as much money as possible. Its your fiduciary obligation. The rest os history.
The obvious take away is that the left needs an actual Fox News. A friend of mine actually pitched this idea a few years ago, but I was of the opinion that the left is above that and nobody would read/watch/follow it. Now I'm not so sure anymore, I think people are ready for it just for the kicks and it would actually have a big effect on balancing things out.
