Nearly 1,000 Apple employees call for company to support Palestinians
Xenon and 13 others reacted to DramaInc for a topic
Israel started this particular conflict a month ago. Some media sources are saying otherwise but it started due to some restrictions, church raids (not sure what they call their religious structures), and other offences. Ive never understood the American preoccupation with Israel. While this conflict in particular is their fault, in the long term both sides are probably equally bad.14 points -

Hamas always start the trouble, whether its rockets or suicide vests. If you want someone to stop, tell it to Hamas or the arabs. Israel is just defending itself. Apple obviously has too many "woke" staffers on the payroll.9 points -

They want the company to support the Palestinians, The same Palestinians who throw gays from buildings and using it citizens as human shield. I would never understand why the most liberal support those people. I would encourage everyone to read the Hamas Covenant, they want Israel gone, They don't want to live in peace beside Israel. (I'll remind everyone that Israel left the Gaza strip, There is no Jew there)6 points -

I am not taking sides in this issue, there is so much blame to go around, but to put something into perspective "Apple employs 147,000 full-time employees and maintains 511 retail stores in 25 countries as of 2021." so unless these 1000 employees are Executive staff I really don't think Apple will comment and take sides in this.5 points -

If Apple starts backing the terrorists, then I think Apple should face charges of backing a Terrorist organization. It seems that every time there is a "war" that breaks out in that area, it's always the Iranian backed HAMAS Terrorist. The Palestinians supply HAMAS with bodies to commit there terrorist acts. I am NOT saying that ALL Palestinians are HAMAS and it is those innocent ones that I feel sorry for.3 points -

There's no excuse, these companies still using IE11 are lazy. MS keeps pushing out the deadline and it just causes the companies to keep doing business as usual. MS should leave IE11 (or IE11 mode) setup and announce that it will be fully desupported. This way, companies can still use it, but they are on their own for support.3 points -

How about they not do that? I frankly don't give a ###### who they support or don't. That's not their job. Just do nothing and keep making phones and computers. Coz no matter what they'll say or support, they'll offend someone. I'm so annoyed by this crap where everyone is always forced to make a position on political crap. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB. It's why I admired Taylor Swift, even though I don't really listen her music. She refused to comment on political crap and yet again people blamed her for not commenting. It's ridiculous and everyone should stop demanding this crap.2 points -

In addition to "crapware," lets not forget the whole large list of the new features included with a WIndows-10 install. Some of them have little or no use for single person users or small office settings. Ya, that stuff can consume as much as 100-200mb of disk space, and being 1990, that is huge. Oh wait. Installed 'crap' you don't use, costs you nothing more than the small amount of space it takes up... And the cool thing - if you later have need of those features or software that uses those features, even if YOU DO NOT realize it is being used, things just continue to work. Treating aspects of technology in an OS product like it is bundled crap software from a shady OEM lacks a lot of understanding/perspective. With NT, Microsoft could allow every drop of Windows to be granularly installed. However, the mess with software not working and the million other issues users that don't understand the necessary components would be a freaking nightmare. I read comments like this, and see users complain about 'bloatware' in Windows, and then see these same users complaining cause XYZ doesn't work, because they didn't realize feature ABC they need also uses XYZ that they removed. 90%+ of the issues you find on places like Reddit are from users that did the 'clean lite' Windows install and then are angry that the Store is gone, or some other similar shortsighted crap. If the OS features being installed were consuming or costing users, they sure, complain to Microsoft, send feedback, yell at them. However, for the stuff 99.999999% of people complain about, costs nothing in performance and if needed, being available is a good thing.2 points -

In addition to "crapware," lets not forget the whole large list of the new features included with a WIndows-10 install. Some of them have little or no use for single person users or small office settings. And if they remove all that, people will complain that there are too many versions of Windows or that installing it is too complicated because of all the decisions the user needs to make during install or that they have to download all these extra bits just to install the OS. Short version: you are not the only customer.2 points -

SpaceX Super Heavy and Starship updates
SteveL reacted to DocM for a topic
Not up to date WRT radiation shielding, and his knowledge about Starship is incomplete or totally absent. Starship; 1) he's using the base model which has a 17.24m long payload bay. There's also a 22m long 'Extended' payload bay version, so much more pressurized volume. See Starship Users Guide. 2) we already know how thick the payload section walls will be; a minimum of 1/2 meter. This by way of the payload section's width being 8 meters. More thickness can be added, of course. Also Starship Users Guide. 3) liquid methane top, liquid oxygen bottom. Shielding; First, the intensity of cosmic radiation is generally inverse to solar activity. When in Solar Maximum the outflow of solar wind partly shields against cosmic particle radiation. Time your trips accordingly. Second, a key factor in radiation protection is time - how long is your trip? Basically, dose = intensity • time. Starship's 115 day average crewed trajectory (for 2020-2037) beats the 180-360 day Mars trajectories used in many models. The benefit of a propellant-rich architecture. No one really cares if dedicated cargo Starships take a longer route, they can go at suboptimal times so long as they beat the crew there. Third, Starship can protect the crew against solar events. This can be done by placing the ship's stores around a dedicated solar storm shelter area while Earth observers watch for events. We've also seen Starship's modular crew cabins, and sturdy structures with thick walls they are, and they're being certified by NASA for lunar missions. Now, if an event occurs point the tanks at the Sun. Both the bulk of the ship and the full header (landing) tanks will shield the habitation module from most flux. The premise of using water is common in fiction and old papers, but not the best way to do shielding today. Still, what is it about water that makes it a shield candidate? Shielding against solar or cosmic radiation means shielding against charged particles; chiefly protons and heavy ions - meaning positively charged, and neutrons. The best way to do that is with an element with a very high positive charge density (lots of protons), and as few neutrons as possible (they generate scatter). The highest charge density is hydrogen, and water has 2 atoms per molecule. GREAT, RIGHT? Not really. That oxygen atom in water has 8 protons sure, but also 8 neutrons which when hit by particles will produce scatter radiation. Water's also a liquid, which makes it leaky for walls that may take a debris hit. Oops. What to do? Use a hydrogen compound with a lower number of neutrons that can form a dense solid (easier to handle). Whozzat? Carbon. It has 6 neutrons (25% less than oxygen) and forms hydrocarbons at the drop of a hat, so there are a lot of excellent hydrocarbons to choose from. NASA Langley has chosen ultra high density polyethylene (UHDPE). Add some boron and/or gadolinium nanoparticles and it shields against scatter and stray neutrons. Extra points: UHDPE radiation shielding is an off the shelf item, used in the medical and nuclear industries, complete with embedded nanoparicle neutron shielding at 5-40% w/w if so ordered. Custom job: UHDPE fabric + epoxy + gadolinium + boron carbide + boron sandwich. Very effective against neutrons. https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9981/1/Ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene-UHMWPE-fiber-epoxy-composite-hybridized/10.1117/12.2240135.short?SSO=1 UHDPE fabric can also be used as an impact shield - it's tougher than Kevlar.
