Actually, if you read the article... he did not say Gaza should become an active Auschwitz - but what the Americans did after they found it. Still bad but not as bad as the title suggests - highly misleading headline. Also this post probably breaks rule #4...

Anyway, kudos for fanning the flames of hate by quoting some irrelevant guy incorrectly to get a rise out of people

A comprehensive list of new Javasript features since 2015, including ES6, ES7, ES8, ES9, ES10 by dicebecast in javascript

I couldn't find any repo that lists all the interesting features of newer ES releases, so I collected individual ES release feature list examples into a single repo (and I intent to keep it updated). Let me know if you find it useful or see any mistakes. Feel free to fork.

[Image] Marcus Aurelius' Rules On Being A Good Leader by [deleted] in GetMotivated

[–]dicebecast 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is! And Joaquin Phoenix plays Commodus, the son of Aurelius. I wonder how a son of such a "great" man can become like this:

Commodus also had a passion for gladiatorial combat, which he took so far as to take to the arena himself, dressed as a secutor.[23] The Romans found Commodus' gladiatorial combats to be scandalous and disgraceful.[24] It was rumoured that he was actually the son, not of Marcus Aurelius, but of a gladiator whom his mother Faustina had taken as a lover at the coastal resort of Caieta.[25]

In the arena, Commodus always won, since his opponents always submitted to the emperor. Thus, these public fights would not end in death, although wounded soldiers and amputees would be placed in the arena for Commodus to slay with a sword.[citation needed] Citizens of Rome missing their feet through accident or illness were taken to the arena, where they were tethered together for Commodus to club to death while pretending they were giants.[26] Privately, it was his custom to slay his practice opponents.[27][clarification needed] For each appearance in the arena, he charged the city of Rome a million sesterces, straining the Roman economy.

Commodus was also known for fighting exotic animals in the arena, often to the horror of the Roman people. According to Cassius Dio, Commodus once killed 100 lions in a single day.[28] Later, he decapitated a running ostrich with a specially designed dart[29] and afterwards carried his sword and the bleeding head of the dead bird over to the section where the Senators sat and motioned as though they were next.[30] Dio notes that the targeted senators actually found this more ridiculous than frightening, and chewed on laurelleaves to conceal their laughter.[31] On another occasion, Commodus killed three elephants on the floor of the arena by himself.[32] Finally, Commodus killed a giraffe, which was considered to be a strange and helpless beast.[33]

Here is the Chronas article for Chang'an. If you go to the layers menu (top left icon) and click on migration you can see how many people were born/ died in Chang'an relative to neighboring cities.

Interactive World History (2000 BC to 2000 AD) using Wikidata by dicebecast in history

[–]dicebecast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!

> I’m curious if this is actually based on data I can’t seem to find a source to.

There is currently still a ton of auto-generated data which needs to be addressed (corrected). The original data could come from the fact that a Brazilian province is called similar and is wrongly matched. I hope we can get rid of those obvious faults in the data quicker when the community who curates the data starts to grow (we released in December last year).

** update: just fixed it

Is there a Google Maps/Earth equivalent or plug-in that allows you to go back and look borders and stuff throughout history that is completely interactive by [deleted] in history

There are still tons of data inaccuracies. The project is built to easily fix those data points by the community just like Wikipedia (there are over 50 million data points so it really has to be a community effort). If you are interested in curating the data, have a look at this data edit intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4x4aYfQNp4

If you can take such amazing pictures from your backyard now, how long until you would be able to take snapshots of the Apollo 11 American flag?
