US warns countries not to join French, Saudi UN conference on Palestine: Report
The US is lobbying foreign governments not to attend a UN conference next week sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a US diplomatic cable reported by Reuters.The cable, sent to countries on Tuesday, warns them against taking "anti-Israel actions" and says attending the conference would be viewed by Washington as acting against US foreign policy interests.
France, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, is a US ally in Nato. Saudi Arabia is one of the US’s closest Middle East partners.
Sunwapta Falls, Icefields Parkway, Jasper NP
Sunwapta Falls
Easy two mile out and back trail located along the icefields parkway south of Jasper. The main falls are located at the beginning of the hike and the trail follows along the river downstream, revealing several more waterfalls as you go. River access can be had at the end of the trail as it leaves the canyon. The upper area gets a ton of usage, as does the second falls which are fairly close by and have a good viewing area. Thins out a little beyond that, but its a short hike so stays fairly busy.
The second falls (not including the big chute that comes out from the upper falls). Drops around 15 ft before going into another chute.
The outflow from the uppermost waterfall rushing under the bridge above. Over time it has carved a curving path into the rock on the side with this viewpoint.
Looking downstream from this large waterfall just off the trail. When hiking, you will be afforded other angles of the falls as you continue the trail. The Catacombs Mountains can be seen in the distance.

Can you be tracked for marketing purposes on a "dumb-phone"?
I'm aware that carrying a phone means that I can be tracked with cell towers and that's fine.
But is there some sort of tracking that can be done on modern dumb-phones that make relevant ads show up(on spotify/youtube) that are based on where the phone has been?
Thanks I'm a newb

I would unironically love if there were enough people in my life that also wanted to live that way to make it viable... Also the lack of functioning payphones these days would be challenging.
The place (at least in the USA) where I've found the most functional-looking payphones was actually Hawaii... And even then, so many are decaying and non-functional. I've had a silly idea to go back and just roam around and photograph as many as I can.

Use supervisor or desktop Linux for TV gaming PC + NAS?
To give a bit of context : I'm upgrading my whole desktop computer so I now have a spare computer for gaming on the TV. I'm thinking of using it mainly as a gaming "console", but might be interested in embedding a NAS as well, and possibly some Docker containers for Home Assistants etc...
So the question : should I just install a normal Distro like Arch, setup a network share and Docker containers, or should I use a proper hypervisor like Unraid and have a VM for couch gaming etc...?
What issues could I expect with both? Are performances impacted with the hypervisor? (I don't plan on doing competitive games on the TV) or is troubleshooting going to be easier on a standard distro?
Did someone do such a setup and have some feedback?
Never properly used Linux before, but I'm a Windows power-user and am looking to transition part of my setup to Linux.
The GPU is going to be an RTX3070 if that matters
like this
Have you considered/tried streaming games from your primary desktop PC? Obviously very dependent on your situation's specifics, but that's one of the things I do with the Linux htpc I have set up.
And then you wouldn't have to worry about games and NAS stuff competing for system resources.
I'd personally go the hypervisor route (I'm using proxmox, truenas, and an arr stack on my NAS). It keeps things compartmentalized (especially network configurations) and usually keeps me from breaking *everything at the same time.

Top Chinese scientists flee Boston area as Harvard, MIT fall in rankings; Silicon Valley also hit
- Thousands of Chinese researchers and scientists are leaving top jobs in leading US universities and companies, to take positions in China.
- The Cambridge area of Massachusetts is home to Harvard, MIT, and scores of leading companies, and was the number one source of returning Chinese research and engineering talent.
- In second place is the Palo Alto-Berkeley cluster, which includes Stanford, University of California, and Silicon Valley.
- The migration of top scientific and engineering talent back to China is accelerating, but began nearly a decade ago. And while the political situation between China and the United States certainly is a major motivation for many scientists to return, more important is the quality of the education systems.
- Chinese universities are now claiming the top spots across all the hard science disciplines, while American colleges are tumbling.

The legislation was opposed by companies such as Amazon and the statewide nonprofit Oregon Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, an industry group, where executives see private investment as vital to their business strategy.
“We universally agree that the way to protect clinics from closure and maintain the broadest patient access to outpatient care is to keep the existing, and multi-ownership models alive and well,” wrote Ryan Grimm on behalf of the association and the Portland Clinic, a private multispecialty medical group, in a March letter to lawmakers.
“In some communities, there is no hospital to swoop in to the rescue, or no hospital in a financial position to save a clinic,” he wrote.
The bill does not go into effect immediately and it contains a three-year adjustment period for clinics to comply with the restrictions. Institutions such as hospitals, tribal health facilities, behavioral health programs and crisis lines are exempted.
Mein Gott, a ray of sanity! Listen it's not everything a constituent can hope for but it's a giant step in the right direction. Congratulations, Oregon!

It is not like we don't have easy to access knowledge about authoritarianism and how it plays out. It is not like we lack information about the criminal and murderous stuff Palantir is involved. FFS the company is owned by a guy who lets himself be "refreshened" with the blood of younger people.
Anyone who does a minimal level of due diligence in looking up his employer knows what kind of company it is. And it is an intelligence company, so the type of people working there must bring a higher level of research and diligence skills.
