> I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries.

Was this written by the state department?

How can you think that a “department of war” does anything remotely good? And only object to domestic AI surveillance?

Take an empty, open water bottle through security and then fill it up at the free water fountains!

Borders are an imaginary concept made-up by nation-states, which only serves the people in power.

Or how are people fleeing from prosecution, looking for a better life, or just feeling like living somewhere else exactly hurting you? It's really a human right to move to another place, without reason required.

If you're thinking about jobs, skilled workers immigrating will compete with you much more than less-privileged people. And "we cannot pay for them" is BS made up the system as well. It is possible to pay for social security for everyone, but not if all profits go to shareholders of course.

Also interested in a sample site where the request successfully resolves ;)

The interesting part about Cities 2 is that the simulation is much more in-depth: pops have a real job where they commute to (versus taking any available one in the first game), they don't just teleport around, companies have to import&export resources and make profit based on that, etc.

Also the graphics/lighting seems much improved with a more realistic art style.

Both things which you cannot really retrofit into Cities 1.

Nope. Their entire website shows up with a white screen for me in the latest Chrome.

There's this error in the console: Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript-or-Wasm module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

Please read through the legal definition of a genocide, and then tell me that that's not what's happening right now:

> Are you suggesting that vercels CEO is to be compared with Adolf Hitler

No, Netanyahu.

Who Vercel's CEO recently posted for a selfie with on X, wishing "greatness for Israel" without mentioning the genocide being committed by that person right now.

It would be a valid argument if you provide evidence for it, such as other commenters here have done. Whereas you just rejected my claim without any argumentation.

I have provided a source for the numbers cited in the original comment. Where those numbers are explained.

This is not how discussions work on Hacker News, and it's also very impolite.

We care about facts, and evidence for arguments here.

From the Wikipedia article you linked:

> Bernard Avishai states that the Gaza withdrawal was designed to obviate rather than facilitate peace negotiations [...]

> Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's senior adviser, Dov Weissglass, explained the meaning of Sharon's statement further: The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process, and when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state [...]

> Shimon Peres, then Vice Prime Minister, stated in an interview that: "We are disengaging from Gaza because of demography"

> Israel tries to avoid killing civilians

Did you read the article this discussion is about?

How could one cause a famine accidentally, without intent to murder civilians?

This is not how international law is supposed to work.

Nothing justifies a genocide.

Could you please link a source for that piece of information?

Where did you get that information from? :)

Because the linked article clearly states why the official numbers are not accurate in the authors opinions.

Also "These numbers are just false" is not a valid argument.
