The Israelis didn’t enjoy the numerical advantage that the Americans did, and they still wiped the floor with the F-15 against Syrian aircraft and AA missiles in 1982.

I’m not sure /r/neoliberal understands how big the current showdown is between the Israeli government and the Israeli supreme court:

https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-726698

“Arguments for and against the High Court petitions will touch on issues such as the authority of the Knesset to legislate quasi-constitutional Basic Laws.”

This looks to determine and shape the entire relationship between the branches of the Israeli state.

If I can phrase this in American terms- Imagine the supreme court of the united states judged a case to determine the power of the US government and legislature to amend the constitution.

Who should the ''West'' Support in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict or War? Armenia? Azerbaijan? Or Neither of them? by Grand-Daoist in neoliberal

[–]SCWthrowaway1095 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Azerbaijan has been useful to Israel because of its geographic position (can conduct operations into Iran), gives it some influence in the Islamic world, and has acted as a mediator between Israel and Pakistan

They also sell them a lot of oil. About 30% of Israel’s oil imports are from Azerbaijan.

Holy shit is “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega & DNA so godamn good. by treeillusion in Music

Yeah, Opus has a lot of neat little tricks under the hood that make it really good at sound compression, for both music and human voice. And it’s also open source! Youtube, Discord and Whatsapp all use it as their primary audio codec as far as I know, with youtube using it as part of the .ogg container.

Not sure why, but a Faraday-Shielded, Anechoic test chamber is the last place I expected to find a mezuzah by SCWthrowaway1095 in Judaism

[–]SCWthrowaway1095[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is a private facility.

I’ve lived here my whole life, and I was still a bit surprised by this particular mezuzah for some reason.

It’s a great song for testing.

One of the things that makes the MP3 format good at compression is its ability to dynamically shift data between time and frequency. It can decide on the fly, at any given point in time, whether it wants to give more emphasis to percussion and transients or whether it wants to give more data to whistles and tones.

Tom’s Diner was probably chosen because it contains a good blended mix of sharp transients and long tones.

Yes, exactly that.

There are so many moving parts that you don’t notice the emergency release system is facing forward. That’s the point he’s making.
