I'm noticing the silence and inaction from
Jordan
Saudi
Turkey
Iraq
Pakistan
Egypt
Morocco
UAE
...
This is dangerous because their populations can see how their leaders, almost all monarchs and dictators, have prostrated themselves in front the USA. That's a recipe for more extremism.

I worked in central gov as a civil servant for many years, until about 2018.
Not a scientific study but my observation is that the civil service likes to showcase statistics about its diversity.
But looks closer and you can see stratification in the seniority levels.
The senior civil service was far far from diverse - especially on "class" ~ "economic background".

They keep referring to the Houthi's as
-- "Iranian backed"
So why not refer to Israel as
-- "US backed" ?

local authorities also made this problem
they ignore the terrible employee condition, and want only to pay unrealistic low prices
their selection criteria need to be better - to include longevity of tenure, humane pay, fairness of costs eg transport, job security and trade unions, ...
essentially the SAME min standards those in the local themselves enjoy

In case it helps anyone reading this...
I recently switched from Google search to Duckduckgo on all my devices.
Unlike 5+ years ago, I don't feel like I'm missing out. The search results are what I'd expect, and in many cases better than what I expected.
I have not yet found myself retrying a search in Google.

your point about the colon i think is interesting
am I right in thinking it is generally used to apply conditions to a set to specify the "universe" - eg
∃𝑛 (𝑛∈ℕ:n>3) [𝑛²+1>100]
so here we have said 1. "there exists" and 2. defined the universe (set), and 3. the target condition
is there the "official standard"?

2024-09-08 13:56:01

everyone seems to have their own standard for writing existential statements
is there an proper official standard?
are my examples here wrong?
I like the last one because it is simple to read, but the second one is defined in some slides for a university course.
i think the first is similar to Keith Devlin's standard.

It's not complicated my friend.
What's complicated about :

* ethnic cleansing
* environmental vandalism
* targeting children, journalists and using human shields
* .. provably lying about it
* violating decades of UN resolutions
* bombing and assassination in other's territory
* $$billions and US weapons to Israel
* near total destruction of Palestinian territory (see map)

If it's like the UK, then even if private options are available, there is always universal healthcare* available for all.
And France is much more socialist than the UK!

Mastodon social has removed my posts three times now regarding the #genocide in #gaza.
My main topics - computing, generative art, python, human rights 🏳️‍🌈, climate emergency, food, coffee, pizza, anti fascism, anti imperialism, anti colonialism, music, dance, photography, graphics, UX design, typography, art and its history, .. and loving books.
And maths!
I like to discover new things, not sure if small instances limit discovery?

By assassinating the lead person negotiating on the Palestinian side, the Israelis have firmly shown that #Qatar was lured into playing their game.
Qatar has been made to look like a fool, a mere puppet.
So what does this tell us?
It tells us that, as unpalatable as it is to many, that Iran's strategy was always right. A strategy that is based on the reality of how Israel behaves, not on some constructed myth of sincere partner for peace, or some legend of historic victimhood.

Randomness is often a better remedy for systemic bias.
I'd support it.
But it would have to be from a truly open pool, not randomly chosen from a bunch of executive-class late-career potatoes. The kind you see overpopulating museum trustee boards, for example.
If the idea is to infuse expertise, age is not always an indicator.

#mastodon social removed a post today.
It was a map showing the drastic shrinking of Palestinian territory since 1946.
I challenged it - and mastodon social agreed they were in error.
It seems some bad actor is going around taking down anything that highlights Israel's crimes - 75 years of crimes.
To that bad actor I say -- "The world is waking up to what Israel is, you can't stop that."
Here's the map again because the post was not restored.

#MiddleEast "origin stories" worth remembering ..
Israel - created by the British, breaking promises to the Palestinians - the Balfour Declaration - the Balfour Betrayal. The west has since provided cover for its 75 years of apartheid, violent oppression, murder of journalists, cultural and environmental vandalism, and now - genocide.
#Iran - its revolution was as a direct result of Western interference, overthrow of their leader, and support for a brutal dictator and western stooge, the Shah.
