This is more about the Saudis' genocidal war against the Houthis.

Iran and Israel are held to entirely different standards.

By body count, there's no comparison.

I will, however, add an obligatory Fuck the Mullahs-- the Iranian people deserve much better than that.

Interoperability is a big job, but the extent to which it matters varies widely according to the use case. There are layers of standards atop other standards, some new, some near deprecation. There are some extremely large and complex datasets that need a shit-ton of metadata to decipher or even extract. Some more modern dataset standards have that metadata baked into the file, but even then there are corner cases. And the standards for zero-trust security enclaves, discoverability, non-repudiation, attribution, multidimensional queries, notification and alerting, pub/sub are all relatively new, so we occasionally encounter operational situations that the standards authors didn't anticipate.

TripAdvisor has better content. Too many Google reviews give a business 1 star because the review author was too stupid to check working hours, or has some incredibly rare digestive condition that they didn't bother to communicate to the eatery before ordering. Or they expect their Basque waiter to speak fluent Latvian, or to accommodate a walk-in party of 20.

Isn’t yelp a pretty easily replaceable thing?

Yelp is at this stage a completely worthless thing. The only thing they were originally was an aggregator of semi-literate reviews, and a shakedown racket against businesses that pissed off some Karen

Trump loves a large-scale crime against humanity.

The Israelis are unlikely to enter a full-scale war with Iran. They'll instead try to get the US to commit war crimes on their behalf.

Ah, goalpost-moving. I should have known.

And after that, we need a revolution. Everyone appointed by Trump will be given the option of resigning office or being relocated to Gitmo. This has not been politics as normal. This has been an attempt to resurrect the late 19th-century spoils system.

Biden is extraordinarily risk-averse.

When Obama was sending the Seals after Obama, Biden was trying to talk him out of it. I mean look at the bag of cement he appointed as AG. Biden won't say boo to a goose.

Or at least shut them down, and if they try to kill us, then it's war.

Identifying the worst problems is a necessary step to resolving them.

"Shaming" has nothing to do with it. Its like you have a high risk of lung cancer-- it's not shaming to tell you to quit smoking.

Time for a law to be passed that kills off this bad idea permanently.

The main cause of fatal accidents is driver distraction. Anything that adds to it is moving in the wrong direction.

They should also ban the use of tablet computers in place of proper displays and controls in vehicles.
