And if they get hungry and surrender just to eat, because the “enemy” is following international law
If its international law to guarantee everyone gets fed and you are able to defeat an military by starving out the host population (a technique the Israelis are claiming is being used to defeat Hamas) then how are you following international law?
I think it's about the enemy soldiers starving into surrender, not the civilian populace. Surely this doesn't mean you are not allowed to attack the supply lines of an invading army inside your own borders?
It... starts with six pages of "recalling this", "acknowledging that"? Are UN resolutions like patents, where only a small fraction of the text is actually meaningful? Maybe I should find a guide for reading them first...
What's so special with four and a half billion years (or 13.8 billion years, if you measure from the big bang instead of the formation of the Solar system and Earth) that makes it so weird for us to "just happen to be" during that time?
Back in the 19th century, Henry George suggested to solve this with a very high land value tax.
The idea, in a nutshell, is that a good chunk of the worth of a property is not the building itself but the land it is built on - and that component does not come from the landlord's investment, it comes from the community's effort. Take that away, and housing prices will dramatically drop (or at least - stop rising so steeply) because real estate will no longer be such an attractive investment avenue, since most of the value that comes from the land will be taxed away. The part that remains - the value of the building itself - is the part that landlords really do have to build and maintain themselves.
I'm usually skeptical about economic ideologies that claim to be both morally correct and utility increasing - simply because I've never seen an economic ideology that doesn't claim to be both these things. But here I think Georgism did manage to show a direct link between the two, so I'm more inclined to believe in it.
Wait what? I thought it was the hash of the URL, and the same URL generates the same hash (that's why I thought about changing it by using the fragment - which I've mistakenly called "shard" (not sure where I heard that name exactly...))
Every time I think cryptocurrency can't get any dumber, and every time I'm proven wrong...
Not related to the outage itself, but I wonder... can I take an existing NFT's URL, add a shard (or modify the existing one?), and mint it as a new NFT?
This. It's not like it's running LLM queries behind your back. It's not even a popup. Just an option in the menu that will do nothing as long as you don't click on it.

Or... does it?
