  • Her dissenting opinion is here. It’s quite thorough, and while reasonable people could disagree on each point (myself included), I didn’t find anything overtly biased in her analysis. Paragraphs 22 - 30 are the bulk of her analysis. Chiefly she cited 3 concerns:

    • without Hamas as a party, she didn’t see how any order could be complied with without Israel unilaterally withdrawing and being forced to accept subsequent attacks
    • most requested orders amounted to “follow IHL”, which Israel is already bound to order or no order
    • she believes SA is conflating Hamas and Palestinian civilians in several key arguments



  • This is interesting. Naively I’d expect that each number in a shuffled array of length n has a 1/n chance of ending up in the correct position, so there ought to be on average 1 correctly placed number regardless of the array length. I might be neglecting a correlation here, where each incorrectly placed number decreases the odds for the remaining numbers. Assuming the above though, the whole problem becomes recursive, since we’d be left with an unsorted array of length n-1 on average. The expected number of sorts would then just be n. For the time complexity, we’d have O(n) for the original shuffle, plus O(n-1) for the next, and so on, yielding O(n^2) overall.
