“Frustration that he’s not actually here to respond to the very obvious censorship that is afoot in all of the major dailies in the United States. Said could have broken through and found a hearing, at a moment when so many more people around the world are seeing for the first time what the Zionist project really is in practice.”

there can be no way of satisfactorily conducting a life whose main concern is to prevent the past from recurring.

In many instances, there is an unmistakable coincidence between the experiences of Arab Palestinians at the hands of Zionism and the experiences of those black, yellow, and brown people who were described as inferior and subhuman by nineteenth-century imperialists.

I cannot understand how raw, naked evidence can …

With images by Sabine Haubitz and Stefanie Zoche of Haubitz+Zoche, the show looks at “the concrete skeletons of five-star hotel complexes” abandoned on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. They are resorts that never quite happened, then, with names like Sultan’s Palace and the Magic Life Imperial. This makes them “monuments to failed investment.”

It seems clear that even countries that are more or less at peace with Israel, whether formally (Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates) or informally (Saudi Arabia) have their hair on fire about the proposed Rafah operation.

Although American newspapers depict Egypt as broke, desperate and easily manipulated, my own estimation is that Cairo absolutely will not accept the Palestinians of Gaza as refugees on its soil. The Sinai is already a security problem for Cairo, and 2 million radicalized Palestinians would make it ungovernable. No amount of debt forgiveness would make such a bitter pill go down.

تعاني العديد من القطاعات الصناعية والتجارية نتيجة الفجوة بين السعر الرسمي لصرف الدولار وسعره بالسوق السوداء، الذي يواجه حالة من عدم الاستقرار؛ إذ سجّل مستويات قياسيّة متجاوزًا حاجز الـ70 جنيهًا ليواجه بعدها هبوطًا حادًّا، ويصل إلى نحو 50 جنيهًا، ثمّ يعود ليستقرّ عند نحو 61 جنيهًا حتّى إعداد هذا التقرير.

ويعدّ قطاع الأدوية أحد أكثر القطاعات تضرّرًا وهو ما انعكس بدوره على أسواق الدواء بمصر، وخلق أزمة نواقص في بعض الأصناف والمجموعات الدوائيّة، إضافة لارتفاع أسعار العديد منها.

وخلال الأشهر الأخيرة اختفت عشرات الأصناف الدوائيّة المخصّصة لعلاج معظم الأمراض المزمنة كضغط الدم والسكّريّ والقلب والمرارة والغدّة الدرقيّة والكلى واضطرابات المعدة وحمّى البحر المتوسّط، والسرطان، إلى جانب نقاط الأنف للرض …

For the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year, according to the EU's climate service. World leaders promised in 2015 to try to limit the long-term temperature rise to 1.5C, which is seen as crucial to help avoid the most damaging impacts.

In what world is it acceptable to have a product whose behavior is not reproducible at all? You have no idea what the training data is, what the evaluation data is, y'all write papers about the system "learning" this or that, when your test set might be part of its training set. And these companies can't provide any guarantees for what the output will be for a particular input, and the ways in which it will change, if the output is different for the same input.

What is a “now page”?

Most websites have a link that says “about”. It goes to a page that tells you something about the background of this person or business. For short, people just call it an “about page”.

Most websites have a link that says “contact”. It goes to a page that tells you how to contact this person or business. For short, people just call it a “contact page”.

So a website with a link that says “now” goes to a page that tells you what this person is focused on at this point in their life. For short, we call it a “now page”.

See examples by browsing nownownow.com.

Although it’s normal to make the web address “/now”, just like it’s usually …

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

👋 Hello! If you print this page, you’ll get a nifty calendar that displays all of the year’s dates on a single page. It will automatically fit on a single sheet of paper of any size. For best results, adjust your print settings to landscape orientation and disable the header and footer.

Take in the year all at once. Fold it up and carry it with you. Jot down your notes on it. Plan things out and observe the passage of time. Above all else, be kind to others.

Gödel proved in 1931 that mathematics is not decidable, an earth-shattering result. He proved that there are statements in mathematics, which are true but not provable within the system. Worse yet, it turns out that you can’t build a more powerful mathematical system. Once a system becomes sufficiently complex, there will always be statements which are undecidable. You’re left with a choice: either have weak system of mathematics or accept that there will always be theorems out of reach. A rough analogy to incompleteness Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, which shows that physics makes it impossible to determine both the position and velocity of a particle with exact precision.
