Wow these are incredibly broad, in particular:

> Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

There are plenty of dual citizens that would proudly admit that their first loyalty is to Israel.

Other examples from the document use the term "Jews as a people", whereas this example seems to apply to accusing any individual.

Although perhaps a generous interpretation of the example, is that it excludes Israeli dual citizens, because Israel would be one of "their own nations"

Plenty of dual citizens that are not Israeli citizens and would admit the same thing, but we don't go around throwing such accusations at them.

> this example seems to apply to accusing any individual.

Does it? It would be accusing the individual just because they are part of a certain group.

I'm excited to try this out! (seems to have some bandwidth issues, currently downloading at 24KB/s)

Is SSO implemented or planned in the near future? I feel that colanode would be a great fit for our start-up

You can't really beat a jammer, sure you can compete for power output, but there is no real stopping it.

Aircraft and military positioning concepts are evolving towards more map and dead reckoning, lessening the benefit of GPS jamming.

plextoria · 5 months ago
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t a jammer be very easy to disable kinetically?

A missile would simply have to follow the jammer’s signal.

I use Kagi search + Instant Answer. Instant Answer is most often giving me the result I am looking for.

> They wouldn't be necessary if version control would be used for laws.

So a country only needs to rewrite all the laws to adopt versioning, cool.

In reality both have can be used, commits to see what changed by whom and wordings that says what changed

No, they only need to start using versioning in order to adopt versioning. Think of an "initial git commit"

plextoria commented on Is Iceland getting ready to join the EU?   mikegalsworthy.substack.c... · Posted by u/mariuz

Inflation will always be higher in Iceland, because they have a very specific pro union setup which guarantees salary increases each year. As a result of the unions, Icelanders work very few hours and earn some of the highest wages in the world - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Confederation_of_Lab... It won't (I hope) be following Italy as an economic model.

By "popularized" I mean brought to a modern audience in Krugman's New York Times column. It's Mundell's theory of course.

Interest rates are the main way to fight inflation. Glad we agree that the Euro is a silly currency union!

These kind of questions get ironed out during accession negotiations I think.

> Exceedingly few people actually use it for anything practical.

That is actually fairly common. Gold has been around for millennia, found basically 0 practical applications [0]. The value of something is roughly the marginal difficulty of procuring the thing by whether someone wants to own it, and at the moment nobody can create bitcoin for substantially less than $100k and broadly speaking people will always want to own them at some price.

That being said, I don't think bitcoin will hold its value long term. But the money question now is whether the collapse happens on the scale of years, decades, centuries or millenia.

[0] The purpose of gold jewellery is to demonstrate that someone has gold/the wealth to do something impractical; otherwise we could make plastic jewellery that is prettier, lighter and cheaper.

Gold is not only used for jewelry. It has many practical applications and is essential for electronics.
