No they didn't? There's protests every day, "they" haven't "cracked down" on anything. Occasional arrests here and there on both sides of the protests. It's a democratic country, people have rights to express themselves.


Maybe still democratic, although surely dropped quite a few ranks in democracy ranking, moving ever closer to authoritarian dictator led state.

Based on your comment history that's not surprising at all. I suppose you already know that just about every large corporation in the world has offices in/business with Israel?

What history? I don't even normally comment but this was crazy and horrible. I'm aware that companies have offices in Israel. I think that's quickly going to become a bygone era though. In fact, Intel just canceled a new Israeli office.

Jeez :/

The pagers were carried specifically by Hezbollah operatives. You can't be both an innocent member of the general public and an operative of a paramilitary org at the same time.

So you are saying that if hezbollah exploded weapons on off-duty military walking around in malls and hospitals in the US it would not be terrorism? Because that's exactly what happened here.

[flagged]


Where are you reading that these devices were on "store shelves"? Why would they be? Hezbollah doesn't buy their pagers retail, do they?

i edited some certainty out of this


Let me add some certainty back to it: both Reuters and the NYT are reporting these are pagers specifically procured by Hezbollah, directly from a manufacturer.

This seems like the best use-case, finding a place to live in a city. As a SF-area resident I know the Tenderloin is a no-go zone, but besides that not much. This is a good tool to see which neighborhoods to focus my search on in the apartment-finding process.


This is good to see. For anyone who hasn't taken a Waymo yet, I highly recommend to go out of your way to give it a try. It's technology that's easy to talk about online, but has a different magnitude irl.


I've been using this tool for years for TTRPG purposes. Folks at HN might take liking to the little programming language embedded within. Enjoy!


Technical. He's saying it's the most important technical problem of our time.


Basically every problem is a "technical" problem in the year 2024 though? What problems out there don't have a solution that leverages technology?


>What problems out there don't have a solution that leverages technology?

Societal problems created by technology?


Wouldn't the technology that caused those problems inherently be a part of that solution? Even if only to reduce/eliminate them?


It's not very 2024, but here's the original binary you can run on your own computer, with no js or pro subscription:

Sfxr was my go-to in highschool for XNA 3.1 games. It's a very useful, tiny tool.


Microsoft made a big mistake killing XNA. The Xbox 360 had a great community of indie developers.


Yeah, I loved it personally. XNA lives on as MonoGame, but it never felt quite the same to me.


I think that tool lineage is one of the canonical example of software history.

First a great tool. Then incompatible copycats that add some incompatible enhancements. Then some JS rewrites. Then some SaaS freemium offering...


That's absolutely not a reasonable comparison.
