It's 2024, instead of riding our personal spaceships to habitat on Mars, we use Home Assistant software to alert us about incoming missile attacks. War is the single most unproductive activity humans can do. Sure, maybe Putin has his rationale, but spiting on a cake is never how one can secure the cake for themself, because guess what, others can also spit on it and then the cake is ruined. A greater leader knows tha…

We already have dozens of military bases surrounding China. There's not much more to do since China is not currently attacking foreign soil.

They are indeed violating other countries waters though.

And how would you propose deterring them from doing this while also avoiding escalation?

What would you do? Install a favorable dictator? Thanks to warmongering there isn't much of a diplomatic route to peace where we still need it. Petty ulterior motives held by world 'leaders' have made it hard.

The existence of this is fascinating and horrifying at the same time. I wonder how he tests it though; when writing tons of YAML for K8s or Ansible, you usually test it in a test environment before putting it in production. Unlike the other cases though, a bug in your YAML here can literally lead people to lose their lives.

The term “battle tested” is used literally here

Directed with unerring accuracy by Moscow specifically to seed discord and division. The idea that this the inevitable direction of peace ignores the fact that the rise of the so-called culture war is part of an asymmetric conflict.

Using technology to improve lives is one thing, but using technology to survive missile attacks is just another level. Sometime I ask myself, will humans ever stop wars once and forever.

Humans are naturally inclined towards war or conflict. It’s our fatal flaw.

Isn’t history showing that letting aggressors nibble away at norms and borders and letting them get away with it ‘to avoid escalation’ is just emboldening the aggressor?

History did not start on Oct 7, that's deceptive framing. Before Oct 7, Israel was already murdering more Palestinian children. That's the main difference.

5 Feb 2024 — At least 507 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank in 2023, including at least 81 children, making it the deadliest year for Palestinians since the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) began recording casualties in 2005.
