Most Israelis are secular, they are not religious. Datim and Charedim only make up ~22% of Israeli Jews. Why make bold claims about topics you know nothing about?

There are over 6 million Jews living in Israel today. The vast majority are going to be Zionists because they support the idea of an independent Jewish/Israeli state. Most of them are not right-wing nutjobs. In fact, millions have come out to protest Bibi and the right wing govt right now. And your comment discredits the long, liberal history in Israeli politics.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Mizrachim (MidEast Jews) vote overwhelmingly right-wing and arguably hate Arabs more than white Jews (Ashkenazim) because they lost everything when they were expelled from Arab lands. This is a Israeli v Arab conflict, not White vs Colored. Please leave your American-centered viewpoints at the door.

The REPL experience in Clojure is powerful. Calva includes a functional debugger as well and I have to say it all leads to a frictionless experience.

The powers that be have done a great job convincing the layperson that copyright is about protecting artists and not publishers. It's historically inaccurate and you can discover that copyright law was pushed by publishers who did not want authors keeping second hand manuscripts of works they sold to publishing companies.

That's kind of the big problem with a lot of the Americans talking about moving to Europe for benefits. They lack these benefits because their jobs aren't specialized or well paid, and European countries aren't likely to accept their visa applications. Outside of marrying a European national, the best path is probably collective bargaining in the states.

Because they care more about reliability, accessibility, and the ecosystem (don't discount the many many slack bots). Privacy is on the bottom of their list of concerns.

I've experienced only the opposite. Americans love self deprecating humor but Yuros will literally cry about you "abusing my country" if you say one negative thing.

Still not worth it. I broke my leg 3 years ago I paid $2.4k total with my insurance. Today it'd be more like $5k as my insurance isn't as good, but it would still be worth it to stay in the US even if I broke a bone every 3 months! However, two months of PTO is certainly something. But to be honest, my mentality is in a place where I'd probably end up doing some work on the side if I honestly had 8 weeks of PTO. Even when I had unlimited PTO, I only took like 4-6 weeks a year.

I think broadly speaking, if you make under $120k/year in the US, your quality of life will be better in Western Europe just because of the social safety net and worker's protections. And this is especially true if you're planning on having children.

His critique of it is basically that it's too "woke" but he really has nothing to say about the essential elements of any movie (plot, tone, character development, etc). He's either unable or unwilling to separate politics from his review. It's like he doesn't know a movie can be well made even if you disagree with its themes.

As long as you can't describe an objective loss function, it will never stop "hallucinating". Loss scores are necessary to get predicable outputs.
