How ‘Zionist’ became a slur on the US left
  • Not too complicated. Zionism basically boils down to "Israel is Jew home country (for mythical reasons)" therefore "Jews should strive to achieve it". It may have other connotations but I don't think a lot of people are confused about this.

    It's that easy!
  • Well you can only do so much, and a denier will come and fuck everything up. Oil and coal companies will pay billions to keep the propaganda going - that the earth is just fine.

    So tired of all that. Remember the CFC issue. World got together to fight it and it worked. I don't know if we will ever see such cooperation again. If we do, maybe we have a chance.

    Other than a uniform collective action as a species we have no hope to turn this around. And since I don't see that happening anytime soon I would rather stick to my "Doomerism".

  • It's that easy!
  • To be honest, we are fucking up the planet at an exponentially faster rate, so it is natural that mitigation solutions seems exponentially crazier.

    There are people that believe that doing these crazy things will actually reverse the damage.

    Then there are people like me who not only believe we are fucked but also believe that anything we do now is completely pointless as we are fucked either way so why bother.

  • ‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise
  • You missed the entire point. Typical Apple fanboy.

    The iphone isn't at all important to humanity and that's why it should be regulated. Especially when something so unimportant gets such a large market dominance.

    Anyone should be able to buy anything and expect things to be interoperable.

    I like the airpods. They don't work properly on android. Why?

    They could easily license out the tech and other companies will pay billions for it. and Apple will get their ROI.

    Intel was forced to license x86.

    Face it. Apple's behavior is visibly monopolistic. It wouldn't have landed on DOJ's desk if there were no good reason.

  • ‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise
  • All fine and dandy. Kudos to Apple for the innovation! But then they decided to keep it strictly inside Apple.

    That's not how communication works. Imagine if Bell kept the telephone to themselves... Oh wait... They tried... Got sued for it... Company broke up and the whole world got interoperable telephone system that is alive to this day.

    Innovation is great, capitalizing on innovation is also great. But eventually it needs to reach everyone and the answer cannot be "then everyone should buy Apple".

    Imagine if DARPA kept the Internet as "Americans only"

  • Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
  • Completely on point. I am an engineer. If I were to self inflict gunshots, I would 100% design a contraption that would shooot multiple times. Need to make sure.

    Also need to hide this contraption while I am in the dying process. To make sure people know it was self inflicted.

  • A New Era for the Chinese Semiconductor Industry: Beijing Responds to Export Controls
  • Eventually maybe. But it will be super tough to get to the leading edge, because by the the time they reach where the rest of the world currently is, the rest of the world will go a couple more steps ahead.

    What companies like ASML have achieved are half a century of R&D that even if china just copy, paying no attention to IP, there are so many things to perfect. Things like the specialized mirrors and optics that are needed.

    China can probably one day get to where the rest are currently in a few years, but to both manufacture and keep per unit costs down at the same time is not an easy hurdle to cross.

  • Brazil’s Lula compares Israel’s war on Gaza with the Holocaust
  • Israel cannot let Palestinians live as human beings because they out-number the Israelis. Giving then rights would give the Palestinians a majority in voting etc. So the Israeli's opted to treat the Palestinians like sub humans. Treating an entire country as subhumans... For decades... has consequences.

  • An advertising industry worker's take on adblockers
