To be fair, they:

said it did not count criticism of Israel as an antisemitic incident, but did count incidents as antisemitic if someone called for the destruction of Israel or used antisemitic tropes in discussing Israel.

I think you’d have to comb through that to figure out where the line is, but I think it’s possible to cross the line from opposing the Israeli state to using antisemitic slurs without too much difficulty.

Not defending Israel. But I do think that people tend to be pretty bad at nuance, and if you told me that the Israeli abuses are leading to a rise in hate towards Jewish people I’d believe it.

They probably don’t have the warehouse capacity to store all those extra units. There’s a lot of logistics involved in housing and shipping 2.2mil consoles, and “just wait” can be way harder than you would think.

The average is 100 by definition, with standard deviations of 15.

Yeah, I say that every time someone tells me that they had a grandparent die. I’m like, “yeah man, that’s what grandparents do. They’re all old and stuff. Of course they die. Grow up.”

No idea why I don’t get invited to parties any more.

A political institution in Europe in AD 30? The year Jesus began his public ministry?

That’s a pretty bold claim, lol. I assume they’re just saying “the Catholic church” has been around since then, since that’s when christianity started?

Gotta love Alito and Thomas, lol. The inanity of this descent is wild.

A emergency hold while you await further info from the government before they ship someone out of the country is pretty normative and reasonable.

And “the government hasn’t said anything about it to us yet, so we can’t rule on it,” is the most braindead take in the world. So the government can do whatever they want without injunction, so long as they don’t file a rebuttal in court? Lunacy.

But, gotta love a good 7-2 with Alito and Thomas at the bottom. Gonna have to go read the full opinion. Those ones are always good for a laugh.

I mean, you say more visible, but it’s not like these things haven’t always happened. I personally knew a guy a few years back who was UCMJ’d for being a racist.

I suppose you’re right that he didn’t have an article written in the Guardian about him, so it’s more visible in that sense. But it seems a little tautological to write an article saying things are more visible, if the “more visibility” in question is that you wrote an article about them.

I mean, the Army is on the record in the article as saying that the behavior would not be tolerated and that they are investigating. He’ll probably get UCMJ’d. I think “without repercussion” is strong.

Should there be more protections to detect this stuff early? Maybe. But, like, that doesn’t feel like as flashy a headline I guess.

And idk, should the Armed Forces have people actively monitoring all their personnel’s private lives 24/7? Seems a little much to me.

I’m just having trouble figuring out what the takeaway is. What “repercussions” do you want to see here? He gets punished in some way? Cause odds are good he will, if they can figure out who it is (since the Guardian didn’t share the name with the Army, per the article.) So what’s the story?

I mean, this isn’t good obviously, but it also doesn’t feel like news.

The US military employs almost 3million people. I challenge you to grab a broad swath of 3 million people and not have a few neo-nazis in the bunch.

Which isn’t to say that it’s okay or should be tolerated. Just that, like, it isn’t news. Or, at least, not any more news than “Nazi sypathizer exists on earth” is news.

Impossible Creatures was a masterpiece. I still go back to it every now and then.

You are taxed on the gains, not on the total sale volume.

So if I buy something today for $5, and sell it tomorrow for $6, I pay the 37% on the $1 of gain.

So my takeaway is $5.63, not the $3.78 it would be I was taxed on the full sale.

It’s also worth noting that capital losses can offset gains. So if I made $1000 on one trade, but lost $1000 on another, my effective tax is $0, because I didn’t make any money.

This can get squishy though, as there are a lot of accounting loopholes you can do to count things as “losses” that are more losses on paper than actual losses.

Idk man, he’s a public figure. Like, would we be this mad if Kamala accidentally leaked her phone’s contact list (names only, no numbers)?

And to be clear, it’d be another thing entirely if he had, like, secret government sources in his contact list or something. But I don’t see anyone saying that as far as I can tell. It’s just his personal friends and contacts.

Nah, Venmo contacts are often based off of your phone contacts. So that’s probably just a list of people he has saved to his phone (who also have Venmo).

And even if you did have to pay someone for them to show up, it still doesn’t seem like much of a scandal. It’s not like someone in the contact list was “drug dealer” or something. Who cares if he venmo’d a coworker $20 for lunch?

Idk man. Like, leaking your phone’s contact list probably isn’t the best thing ever, but it’s hardly a huge deal imo.

Fair, but I didn’t see any contacts that were terribly surprising or concerning.

I mean, I think most people on Venmo have it set this way. It’s the default. I wouldn’t call it inept.

It’s not privacy focused for sure, but then, using social media in any capacity isn’t. I’m unconvinced this is crazy worse.

Sure, but that’s not a scandal. You could call Trump’s Twitter follower list the same thing.

It says none of their actual transactions was visible, just their friends lists. And Venmo has a long history of trying to be the “social media” of paying people.

So, like, I’m no fan of the guy, but ik confused why this is news? I can probably see his followed people on Twitter too, but that’s not a scandal. If there aren’t any sketchy payments or anything, what’s the issue?

Or they make it where if you have exact flag placement you’re good. So you can try putting a flag on each one in turn.

A little annoying when you end with 3-4 50/50 splits, but not too too hard to just brute force the 8-16 combos.

Probably, but if you’re interpreting user inputs as raw code, you’ve got much much worse problems going on, lol.
