Actually great post. Can also recommend the behind the bastards episodes about this, maybe not as accurate as Carlin but more humourous.

So you're fine with having a fab in your backyard?

Or this presentation which came out way long ago.


This is worth the (re)watch every time it comes up.

"I didn't want my name associated with this on the internet"

I didn’t, still don’t, but that’s a lost cause.

I’ll note that this video is way out of date…both in content and my skills as a speaker :P


Thanks for your presentation, watched ut several times over the years. If your presentation skills are better now hopefully you csn make a new one.

Thanks for the informative presentation!

thanks for the HN community - the video is how I ended up here and its one of the few social media-esque sites I bother visiting. Taught me a pile of things about coding and CS that weren't in my mechanical engineering degree.

It's only UK that does that, and they're not in the EU. Many us states do the same, and the administration wants to ban porn completely and jail those who make it.

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

Right, the current Israeli administration is horrible, especially the far right that keeps it alive. I invite you to oppose that government and help the opposition take power. Instead, you’re making the opposition weaker by putting all the Israelis in one basket.

You should read about the Oslo accords and the failed talks at Camp David. This is to say that Israel has been trying for a long time to make peace with the Palestinians. Them not wanting has led most to give up and stop fighting the extremists.


Dont need your victim theatrics, we both know who made that comment. We both also know Ben gurions private correspondence and what the plan always was for Israel.

We both know the majority of Israel supports the settlements and the status quo in Gaza, but maybe not the last few years. We both know they went out to protest against the punishment of your rapists.

Oslo and David talks included poison pills so that Palestinians would never agree to it. While I believe that Hamas should not exist I do believe the powers in Israel wants them to.

Essentially everyone but Israel supports the 1967 borders today, but Hamas does not recognize Israel, just like Israel didn't recognize Palestine in the Oslo accords, that would also allow settlements in the west bank to continue.


The Oslo accords were supposed to lead to a Palestinian state. The exploding busses in Tel Aviv didn’t help.

I don’t know what Ben Gurion’s private correspondence was, but it sure binds me, a millennial!

Your aggressive rhetoric doesn’t impress anyone, instead it signals your emotional gut response, probably an ill informed one.

You already hate me, a stranger, and nothing I will say will make you reconsider your position. That is because you hold it because you want to, and not because of real investigation.


What Ben gurion wanted has not changed. I'm I'll informed yet you have no idea what your country really was from the start.

Not sure if it's feigned victimhood or if you feel guilty for what your country is doing. Either way you seem to take what your country does personally.


Maybe it hasn’t changed because he’s been dead for decades.

Arab Israelis are a fact, despite what you think he wrote in his diary, and despite him having all the power to execute on whatever he wanted.


Fighting your oppressors is usually popular with the oppressed.

Israel was prepared for peace a long time ago. Nowadays Many Israelis are convinced that the Palestinians don’t want peace, but rather a fight to the death. This thwarts any hope of trying for peace again on the Israeli side.

Are they restreaming football?

www.rt.com is blocked in a couple of countries in Europe, so it's not about football, rather to curb "disinformation" for the next elections or whatever.

https://www.isdglobal.org/digital-dispatch/the-achilles-heel...

So, freedom.gov is also blocked to protect you from fake news I guess.

Sad.


RT is blocked in the entire EU as part of a sanctions round due to the invasion of Ukraine: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022...

RT is not blocked in the entire EU, I can access it just fine.

No — it's not and I've just verified that. The RT website is accessible: people can visit it, create accounts, log in, and use all its features without restrictions.

What’s changed about the RT is public perception. It’s widely recognized and labeled as a Kremlin propaganda outlet — which is precisely what it is — so audiences can approach its content with appropriate awareness.

If someone can't access the page, it's likely caused by a particular ISP and not by "European censorship".


It actually is, the IP it resolves to is Cloudflare.

Lucky you (this was not cynical) because for me there is no Cloudflare:

    This site can’t be reached
    Check if there is a typo in rt.com.

    DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
(just an empty A record)

rt.com does not use Cloudflare, they are a customer of DDOS Guard:

  $ drill -Q rt.com | tee $(tty) | xargs whois | grep org-name
  91.215.41.4
  org-name:       DDOS-GUARD LTD

  $ curl --silent https://www.rt.com | grep '<title>[^<]\*</title>' | head -1

Was drugging random Americans with LSD also a valid experiment? Parts of the CIA was just insane back then, maybe still is.

Yeah absolutely. Figuring out which, if any, drugs can be used to control people is extremely valuable for defence, not to mention offence. Same with the fascist Japanese frostbite experiments.

Let me be clear: these were all wrong and unethical, and I would not have approved or conducted them. But if you're a government agency tasked with doing wrong and unethical things in the name of national security, they were all good ideas to at least try.


So you have no idea what they actually did.

Seems like Brexit didn't help

Art of the deal is working well huh.
