> Trump attacked Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran
When Israel attacked Iran in 2025, Iran was very, very clear that they did not consider it an attack from the US and did not retaliate against US assets. The US choose to support israel with intel and weapons, and Iran still didn't strike at US interests. Then the US joined forces with israel to push for bigger concessions from Iran just before the ceasefire (that the US broke 8 month later, once again during peace talks).
So do not act as if Israel pushed the US into this war. This was a political and strategical choice the US made, and you should own it. People who were silent on the 2025 bombardment and are now saying "we shouldn't fight Israel war" are to me hypocrites.
Oh I'm not saying Israel's decision to attack Iran forced the US to join in on strategic or self-defense grounds. I'm saying it forced them because the US does whatever Israel tells them. That is why both US lead negotiators with Iran are Jewish [1], why US congressmen have Israeli flags outside their offices [2], why Nancy Pelosi said the #1 priority in the Capitol is Israel [3], why Netanyahu gets 3 straight minutes of applause when he starts his speech in Congress (and lots of applause interruptions later) [4].
Because when 50% of donations to the Democratic party, and 25% of donations to the Republican party, are from Jewish sources [5], it can't be any other way.
[1] In practice, critical negotiations, with Iran and elsewhere, have been put in the hands of two people, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with close personal relationships with the president and obvious economic stakes in the relevant conflicts. - https://snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpower-suicide
[3] if this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain would be our commitment to our aid, I don’t even call it our aid, our cooperation with Israel. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1LmnQRnw8I
Conflating “Jewish” with “loves and supports Netanyahu” is a bald-faced antisemitic trope.
Pretending Kushner’s bullshit has anything to do with being a Jew and not being willing to sell anyone or anything for a dollar is just silly.
The pro-Israel group is just as likely, maybe moreso given the current administration and the people like Thiel running it, to be apocalyptic Christians, trying to bring on their own idiotic vision of the end times.
I agree with your point in the broad sense, but the example might be bad. If sqlx is an important crate, and not stable yet, upgrading it without reading the changelog is honestly a flaw in your team process. Using the AI to fix organisational issues is typically one of the reasons I'm very skeptical of AI improving productivity in the long run.
I'm not taking a shot, to be clear, we had a similar issue a few years ago and we made sure this wouldn't happen again, that's absolutely not a shot, nor do I think it's a character flaw to use AI, au contraire, this is a very good use. I'm just worried that because AI is so good at fixing minor issues caused by governance/organisation flaws, we will be stuck using it to fix those and be trapped in mediocrity (that's not an issue for me, mediocrity is where I work best, but I'm a bit sad for the great Devs I've worked with.)

It’s not in the changelog though, this is an update of a transitive dependency that inadvertently changed the default behavior. sqlx didn’t document this because they didn’t even know it changed.
Even if it was a documented change, our process caught it because it was caught by CI. The issue itself was only a result of how our CI was configured (we had a database url with a domain socket path that didn’t explicitly specify a username, and we inadvertently relied on the default of “the current user”, which the whoami crate now defaults to “anonymous”.) I don’t see an issue in our “team process” (whatever that means) at all.
agent teams can help with that, the main agent acts as an orchestrator and spawns sub agents to do the actual tasks it generally keeps the main context from overflowing.
My only experience as a European is that I called the support number on my card, they fixed the in 5 minutes, cancelled my card, sent me a new one and set me up with a temporary one.
if it was stolen then I guess it’s fairly standard. Disputing specific transactions is much harder though. They ask for evidence you contacted the seller etc and make the process difficult from my very limited experience on the “other end” of the transaction.
I think it's fine. Here renting (or teaching) light sails (light catamaran) needs a different license than renting (or teaching) any sail cruiser, including catamarans, despite being basically the same object (boats with sails). Feels that the small differences are enough to justify a different regime.
Fruit juice you didn't press yourself have no fibers.
Honestly, the 'avoir sugar' crowd is wrong in its messaging, the correct message should be 'increase your fiber intake'.
Also an effect of fiber is that it increases your transit speed and quality a lot (a lot). I don't know if that also have an effect on how much sugar and fat is absorbed in the small intestine, but I recently managed to loose weight I had a lot of trouble eliminating without changing my calorie intake. Basically I went from 115 kg to 95 with reducing my calorie intake without much trouble (stopped sugar and alcohol basically) in 2-3 years, and didn't manage to go much lower in the last 6 year (I was around 90-88 by starting physical activity, but those 5kg took 4 years to loose and I stabilized again). But I recently had transit issues, and started eating more fiber like 3 months ago. I lost 1 kg over the timeframe, while having a way better time on the toilets, and it was even easier than stopping sugar (just eat more greens, beans and oats), as I didn't change my meal size.
My thoughts are that it's too sweet, though I don't know what quality its fiber has: like is it decent dietary fiber or a nutrition label dodge of some sort.
We kinda need to get it out of the closet, remove the rust and dust, grease it and use it ourselves for a year or two, but we can lend it to you circa 2029 if you really need it.
Yeah, 'pixel on a screen'. I will send deepfake video of your daughter (or sister, or mother) having sex to you, let's see how they appreciate it. It's only pixels after all. Or picture of you having sex to your friends, SO and parents, that's probably fine.
I don't have sex in front of my friends and family for a reason, and I would appreciate my privacy protected by the state. And yes, privacy breach of this magnitude is probably worth 2-3 years (which basically means nothing for the first offense, let's be realistic, but makes the second offense way more consequencial).
I really, really like starlink. I think it is the most usefull of Musk ideas, but my opinion is tainted because i love sailing, and i have a transatlantic in a year and a half. I only skimmed this, but anybody else thought the papers were weird? lot of photograph, not a lot of details on the plan.
I have two big red flags personally.
- The first one can easily be understood by reading my previous comments on OpenAI. AI addressable market is 30 trillions? what? did they compare chineese free/cheap models to grok? or even to Anthropic/OpenAI frontier models? This is delusional. Maybe some devs doing heavy math will have a benefit using frontier models right now, but at this very moment i don't see why i should pay for AI for my daily usage (and i was an early subscriber of chatGPT) since free models are so good (i'm not talking about code here). Honestly i'm ready to pay 20€/month at most atm, and the number is declining fast as the chineese models got better.
- Point-to-point travel. No, it won't work. Even without taking into account the locations (which will have to be very remote) and the danger, you don't go in a 0g plane without a thorough medical exam, so i'm pretty sure it will be worse to get in a rocket. Also, fuel efficiency on the new Safran/GE RISE aim for 20% efficiency gain for the new airplane generation, which will make very hard to be competitive with air travel for any rocket-powered system. I want a _very_ detailed plan if you want to make me believe you have thought about all the issues, and this just isn't this.
I find the TAM numbers inspiring. I think we need a new name for it, like speculative TAM, or "STAM" as in "once we capture 5% of STAM for orbital data centers, our EBITDA will be $10 quadrillion."
The rest is not space but clearly AI related ("enterprise platforms" cough), at around $20 trillion, which is almost half of all global worker compensation (50T).
The subtext is "Our platform will replace billions of workers! Please invest."
