Because all the Gazan HN readers have already been murdered by the Zionist state.

2 sides implies equal footing. Especially as many equate this to a war. This isn't a war, it's a genocide.

But joke about it. Who cares? Just a bunch of people out of sight, out of mind, getting blown to bits day in day out.

Hilarious isn't it.

It's not about muslims vs Jews. It's about being pro genocide and being anti genocide.

Don't make this about religion. Human beings do not want to see genocide carried out on concentration camp of 2.3 million people.

There are no 2 sides. There is an oppressor and the oppressed. The coloniser and the colonised. The occupation and the occupied.

It wouldn't just require a change of leaders. It would require an end to apartheid against Palestinians. It would require the colonist settlement of Israel giving back all it's land to the Palestinians. It would require all those involved being brought in front of the ICC for war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I'm pleased to see accuracy in the history of techno.

I for one did not know it's roots took place back in the 70s and from the black community.

These days when I look at techno artists and their raving followers, its prodimently white. I have since taken active steps to seek out the lesser know black artists to support.

Many modern music fundamentals are origins from the black community and very little is correctly attributed and/or black artists are sidelined.

I believe the language revolving around AI has been construed by those who are not knowledgable technically but spout nonsense to appear knowledgable to attract clicks and sell books.

It doesn't help when laypersons see anatomical terms like neural network and get the image of a computer replicating a human neuron. In fact its merely a fancy for loop. The same results can be achieved with a few nested for loops though not as efficient).

AI at the moment is a term flung around too much. There are some faux AI tools out there to cash in on the trend. Others can be simple implementations of predictive analysis with AI label slapped on the side for grandeur.

Like another poster said, its about managing expectations.

It would be helpful if the title was more specific as the blog post discusses GDP specifically.

More to the point, GDP isn't everything. There are many factors at play. It is possible to cherry pick a multitude of attributes to compare Europe with the US and have either appear to be failing in a graph.

Think about how the graph would look if the following were considered: education levels, clean air/water, broadband connectivity, health care, inner city and suburban public transport.

Also when comparing Europe it would be fair to include Europe in the data rather than a select few countries, otherwise the title (and the argument) becomes more misleading.

Unity has a c# scripting api, layered on the core c++ foundation. Unreal, on the hand, is C++ top and bottom.
