Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.

If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

This video is great for several reasons:

🔻It shows how the Iron Dome missile batteries are embedded in civilian areas / are mobile

🔻It shows a battery launching interceptors that fail to stop the inbound missiles from destroying the battery

🔻 Because the batteries are mobile, satellite targeting cannot be used, so Iran has some next generation targeting system tailored to mobile targets

🔻Isntreal intelligence must have known of this capability.

Strikes on Iran ease pressure on Israel to end starvation in Gaza

Very predictable outcome but food distribution in Gaza was stopped completely shortly before the atk on Iran

And, while major US/UK outlets were busy cheerleading a massive escalation (an explicit violation of international law, and the UN charter)-- NATO in general saw this as an opportunity to stop caring about the genocide

How recently was it DE, FR, UK, all pretended to care just long enough for press to pen articles in a cynical ploy to distance themselves from their crimes? Weeks?

"Germany said on Saturday that the danger of further escalation in the Middle East is real and that Iran’s nuclear programme poses a threat not just to Israel"

DE leaders laying out their priorities for everyone to see

To start we are all pretending that its not a widely known fact that Israel illegally has nuclear weapons

Israel has been breaking international law, violating the UN charter, doing pre-emptive strikes, & committing a genocide-- but perceived threats to them remain the priority

Shanghai Jiao Tong University Chip Hub for Integrated Photonics Xplore begins producing 6-inch wafers for thin-film lithium niobate photonic chips, with an annual capacity of 12,000 6-inch wafers.

This is China's first production line for photonic chips, but it already shows gains in terms of technical performance.

TFLN is a high-performance optoelectronic material known for its ultra-fast electro-optic effect, high bandwidth, and low power consumption.

Please no more "have you tried". I have tried many things. Folks here do not care, largely. There are some folks in the special assistance office who've tried a bit, but they say they cannot do much for me, including helping me call the store in town to make sure they have what I need before I pay for a taxi there.

This request was purely on the off chance that some Icelanders were on Mastodon, close to Keflavik, and willing to help.

I can't make too many replies to "have you tried".

A lot of companies seem to misunderstand the role of pay in hiring and retaining smart people. In my first year at Microsoft Research I listened to a (normally sensible) member of the lab’s leadership team explain that the bonus structure was there to incentivise good research. I looked around the room and wondered who had ever thought ‘well, I was going to do some mediocre research, but for 20% more money this year I will do something world leading!’ My guess: no one.

If you want to hire the best people, you are looking for the people who, if money didn’t matter, would do the job for free because they believe it’s important and care about the outcome. You don’t pay them well to persuade them to work. You pay them well so that they can afford to work on the things that they think are important. If smart people don’t think the things you’re doing are important then you should consider why you’re doing them.

This is especially true for executive compensation. The best CEOs are ones that care about the company’s products and want everyone to use them, not the ones that want to make the most money. This is especially true for non profits where your pool should start with people who care a lot about the organisation’s mission. Paying more (above a certain level) won’t find more of those people it will simply dilute the pool with people who are there for the money, not the mission.

EDIT: A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this and think this is an argument to pay people badly. It absolutely isn't. If you pay people badly, they will spend a lot if time thinking about money. Your job as a manager is to remove problems. Money removes a lot of problems. But a lot of problems cannot be removed by applying money. If someone competent is being told to do nonsense work that they know will cause problems in the long run, no amount of money will make them motivated. The problems that can be solved with money are the easy ones.

Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.

A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice

And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd

Dozens of lefty groups behind the country’s supposedly “grassroots” May Day protests have been largely bankrolled by two billionaires and a dark-money network of progressive nonprofits.

More than $500 million from Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss’ organizations, hedge-fund tycoon George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the dark-money Arabella network flowed to the progressive groups between fiscal years 2016 and 2023, according to an analysis shared with The Post.

For No Kings Day, I've chosen to walk with the military burial flag of my father-in-law, who was a WWII veteran. I was there as upon this flag, William Edward Stiles Jr. received his final salute: three volleys from the rifles of the honor guard before it was folded and presented to my mother-in-law by two Navy men. Later, at his memorial, I was astonished to discover that a white man of his era had so many Black friends.

You see my father-in-law's fight against injustice did not end when he returned from the second World War. His fight continued in the civil rights movement negotiating for teachers unions in the shadow of Brown v. Board of Education America. Out of prejudice or fear of the Klu Klux Klan, few white people were willing to do what he did because it meant also representing Black teachers unions.

With all the protests going off & discussions of taking a mobile phone or not

There will be some people who will have to take their phone

So for those people is there any way to beef up it's security

So far I've heard of disabling biometric access & putting a "Get a warrant" screensaver/wallpaper on the phone

Is there any way to add a "Duress password" to the lock screen of phones that don't already have it, that bricks the phone if it's entered ?

To the genocide-loving German from mastodon.social who reported @faab64 for being antisemitic:

Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

Ich vermute, ich bin Extremist.
Wo soll ich mich melden?

"Die extremistische Agitation richtete sich aber auch gegen deutsches Regierungshandeln zur Unterstützung Israels sowie gegen die Verbote und Maßnahmen von Versammlungsbehörden und Polizei, welche als unzulässige Repression, Zensur und Unterdrückung legitimer Proteste bezeichnet wurden."

Es scheint der Regierung jedenfalls leichter zu fallen, die halbe Welt als extremistisch zu bezeichnen (und sich so selbst als Opfer darzustellen) als anzuerkennen, was ist.

Das geht ja weiten Teilen der deutschen Gesellschaft so.

The above bit of military wisdom that I quoted in a recent essay, ‘use it or lose it,’ has been amply justified by the latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran.
