The parallel is obvious to anyone who grew up in Europe in the 50s and 60s.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history. It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow. Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching. When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

If you are doing analog in-memory computing using non-volatile memory and you have multiple devices per unit cell, consider using the algorithm explained in this TED paper. Very easy to implement and significantly improves programming MVM precision. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10281…

The wall isn’t preventing Palestinians from entering Israel. They are attacking from land, sea, and air. New this morning, Palestinian militants have been barraging Israel. They have sent fighters to Israel from Gaza, using bulldozers like this one to plow right through the wall on the Gaza strip border. Additionally, thousands of rockets have been fired into Israel, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country is at war. Israel has begun striking back. What's the solution here?
