I currently have the 11th gen DIY edition. I'm running linux on it and I'm loving it.

When do you plan on making the 12th gen intel main boards + top cover available for purchase?

Will the main board upgrade bring the 11th gen machine to the same exact spec? Or does the new 12th gen have other improvements?

How far do we take this? Should we stop forcing people to get the MMR vaccine? Polio vaccine? Hep A?

Does python really force this? I can see this being the with java -- a language often used in intro to CS courses.

There's a well known paradox in nuclear strategy where counter-force targeting is actually more "humane", but it requires the nation to keep more nukes in service.

On the other hand, a small stockpile will deter your enemy only if you are willing to use your stockpile on your enemy's population centers.

I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I have run into odd compatibility issues when trying to compile and run a handful of Rust projects that are generally meant for x86 platforms. That issue and macOS prevents me from adopting the m1 as my daily driver.

When it's time for me to upgrade I'll go with one of the framework machines. [0] It's fully customizable, with room for future upgrades. I've been looking into a Dell machine for a while, but they just seem to have too many issues.

For what it's worth, I'm currently using an m1 macbook, and the battery life is absolutely incredible.

“There’s no need to shirk from the essence of this law. It is one of the tools to ensure a Jewish majority in Israel, which is the nation-state of the Jewish people. Our goal is for there to be a Jewish majority,” Lapid tweeted shortly before the law lapsed in early July. [0]

Regarding the Israel lobby, it is strong, but it's losing its grip:

The actual rationale was outright given by the politicians who enacted this law:

it allows Israel's favored demographic to maintain a majority.

It's in the article.

The politicians who enacted this law outright said that it's to preserve Israel's favored demographic majority.

Did the U.S. prevent Iraqis from marrying Americans in 2003? What about Afghans in 2001?

So, 21% of Israel's population has restrictions on who they could marry all so that they can maintain a majority of the favored demographic.

This is apartheid.
