Which have a nearly perfect recycling rate, not sure if you've ever been to Japan but you will literally never see a bin on the street, each vending machine has to have a matching recycling box next to it, generic garbage bins exist literally nowhere in every major city. This is enforced by laws set in the 90s to battle the trash epidemic they had, and it now has pretty much some of the strictest laws in the world regarding litter and recycling.

I'm not advocating over consumerism and reuse is better than recycle, but the vast majority of plastic does get recycled, agreed its very energy intensive and wasteful in that regard. But at least it doesn't get dumped in the ocean or a landfill or burnt like some other places you might know

Consumers in the US aren't consumers in every country. Some countries have very stringent laws that the populous supports regarding that (Japan, Singapore)

Oneeeee punchhh

That's a nice interpretation. You do know that in every street demonstration and political event in Iran the crowd shouts death to Israel right?

Israel isn't occupying Gaza and there hasn't been an Israeli in Gaza for over a decade

No.. I'm responding to the person I wanted to.

You stated no argument then beyond your opinion on my morality, I'd love to hear an actual point if you have one. You didn't contradict anything I said so I don't have a lot to respond to here.

You literally have zero idea what you're talking about. What moral obligation? These are mostly illegal immigrants seeking better life in Israel. Not refugees who are fleeing war zones. This is completely different. And by the way. Israel is filled with slums just like Paris and Norway are due to the illegal immigration. I can't just pick up my things and move to the US willy nilly and they can't just illegally cross the border and expect legal status. Refugee status isn't given to every African native deciding to look for better life. That's just a racist imperialist sentiment.

The title makes no sense, ITER will not be generating any electricity, it will have Q>1.0, and it will not be the 'first plasma *', we've had plasma research reactors (not unlike ITER) for over 40 years.

anyway, it's very possible that MIT's SPARC/ARC will fire before even though it's still in planning (they estimate 3.5 years if i recall, if you want to check how they reached that number they talk about it in the paper, it sounds reasonable compared to similar sized reactors, like JET).

The huge leaps made in high-temperature super conductors like REBCO are revolutionary and completely changed what's possible with fusion in the last 10 years, these changes and possibilities are still quite new and it will take a bit of time until new designs will be made, be funded, be built, and only then become operational, and a few years off at least until it will be commercial (maybe, or maybe 10's of years, depends on how well various things will progress)

No, you fudged up the math. One number is over 20 years and the other is for one year. Yearly expenditure is one twentieth of .107%

It's not a claim but a status quo for Israel since its founding. It's the seat of government. The parliament (knesset). hq of pretty much every govt branch. Seat of PM and President and the list goes on and on.. Israel was never ambigious about Jerusalem being its capital since its inception and is not a matter of debate from the Israeli side. Whether the Palestinian capital will also be Jerusalem is yet to be seen.

Because there was no Palestinian country in de facto British mandatory Palestine?

saying Israel has no claim to Jerusalem prior to 1947 is pretty bold, the UN resolution itself does exactly that by recognizing Jerusalem as a centerpiece of Judaism (i'm not saying exclusively, and you can argue it was under Muslim rule for very long, i'm not disputing that , but your claim that it has no ties to Israel is far fetched), and Israel being the Jewish homeland founded after WWII definitely has those ties to Jerusalem, not to mention Jerusalem had Jews living in it (along with people of other faiths, such as Christians and Muslims, though not as long considering those religions are also younger) continuously living there over 2000 years, for the longer part of history until recent centuries Jews lived peacefully under both Arab and Muslim rule, not so much anymore.

I'd say it's definitely Israel's land more than (almost) anyone else, barring the Palestinians who obviously have some claim (not saying it's should be big, small, everything or nothing, beyond the Palestinians),who else does Jerusalem belong to?. It's definitely not the Greeks or the Germans, or the EU or the US.

That's from July 2011

If you mean being unable to have more than 64bit cells addressable, it's really non-issue considering combining every information storing device every produced into a giant memory stick would be something around 66bits-67bits (based on this research, at least https://phys.org/news/2011-02-world-scientists-total-technological-capacity.html), that's not something you're going to have in a single adressable memory space any time soon, switching over to 128bit addressing is a very small hurdle relative to getting 64bits of actual memory into a single computer (consider an avg computer sold today have on average 32-34/35 bits of actual physical RAM, with enterprise machines having 41/42 bits (2-4TB) sometime, it's still many many orders of magnitude off, there's simply no reason to use larger addressing, it's wasteful, and it's not a problem :) ), Cheers!

I wouldn't say it's a 'problem', it's a characteristic of the CPU Design and supported sizes, and there are very simple workarounds, There is also no single opcode to calculate log base 20, doesn't mean you can't do it (or that it's even a problem, it's quite simple) , Java has BigInteger, and as you linked, Python has automatic casting built-in to the various decimal types. You could make a Integer that's 4KB in C or C++ also (either implement yourself the various methods such as addition, multiplication etc) like you said with GMP.

The fact we don't have opcodes for 8KB Integers is mostly because we don't need them (or more precisely, it's not a big enough issue for enough use cases, there are definitely problems where you can benefit from being able to multiply 2048 bit numbers in one cycle) ,you do have SSE/SSE2 etc opcodes that work on very large registers (256 bits for example), but not having a single opcode to do the work doesn't make it a 'problem' beyond being slower, it's still very easy to do and well supported in the languages, pretty much every language has 'boxed' integer types to support larger than single-opcode addressable platform operations support.

If you're just counting the human body has about 3 * 10¹³ germs in it's body, log2 that's around 2^44, still very far off, there's not much things who's count is that big (Money, people, any real world object you'll need to count really, excluding things like the number of atoms in the universe, whose magnitude is around 270~ish bits) Again, There are many use cases for large numbers, but it's not a 'problem', it just doesn't happen in one cycle on a x86-64 processor.

That's not the definition of double jeopardy. It's a different court system and a different jurisdiction.

Being a draft dodger doesn't make you a political refuge necessarily..

I can't manage to find the content buried in the 13 affiliate posters spammed on the page...

It likely won't happen with democrats in office either, it's not like gerrymandering and lobbying is a republican problem (even if i somewhat prefer the median democratic lobbyism over the republican, they're both corrupt in that sense).

If you pose real danger to a soldiers life i think it's pretty reasonable that you'd get shot.

By the way, if you think that's the generic MO against rock throwers, i suggest you watch some Al Jazeera or any news network that films in the conflict areas, you'll see the IDF literally gets pelted with rocks of all sizes and slings, and literally hiding behind their armored cars to avoid conflict, do you think 8 guys with M4's can't take 60 people throwing rocks at them in literally seconds?.

So why don't you hear about tens of people getting shot daily? because if you look at the news network you'll definitely see these rock throwing riots happen on a daily basis; simple; shooting is not the MO unless there is real, imminent risk to life.

No, it does it because it gets what it considers value for its money
