Attacking an institute of science. This administration could not have orchestrated a better representation of itself.

Why is he on trial? He was just eating at a McDonald's by himself.

Do you want a civil war? Because this is how you get a civil war.

Dubai was always an economy built on a bubble. As much as I hate how they treat foreign laborers and as much as I hate their current leaders, I have some respect for how far they were able to get with this model.

But ultimately, they are a country with little land, little water, terrible weather, and surviving on a vast expat population that has no path to citizenship and will always just see it as a destination to milk for as much money as possible.

I don't see how such a model could ever be seen as sustainable in the long run.

I've lived in both and while the similarities are there, it's a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.

Someone who uses such psychotic language would not have cared what the probe found, I assure you.

Then why were both US and Israeli officials saying they were doing it in coordination?

"The Israeli officials said the strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration. A U.S. Defense official confirmed that."

It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.

No, it's not because of that. It's because he was legit a bad cto. No one at the company liked him.

Are you sure about that? I couldn't find any sources stating that the US has formally been reduced to tier 3.

This took courage and we should celebrate this. I can already see people pointing fingers at him; that is worth doing eventually, but this is not the time for that.

Let's recognize good behavior and make sure we encourage more people to do the same.

It's pretty crazy to me that zuck let an actual academic like Yann LeCun go for a kid like Alex Wang. Seems like some very short term thinking.

Crazy how much of the world suffers because of the desires of one tiny county of 9 million. Would we really be doing any of this if not for Israel?
