well, it's not a high bar – these days anyone who says "I support Palestine Action" or "she was murdered by ICE" is called a terrorist sympathizer
> these days anyone who says "I support Palestine Action" You mean the group that sneaked in and damaged a bunch of UK Military’s planes on a military base? Was this the action that put them into the terrorist category?

The quote from the article continues. You cut it off. "It was me not really knowing what I was doing, I was trying to protect Leona, or Zoe. I couldn't tell who was screaming." "My friends were in danger and they [the police] were getting quite hands-on. "I remember just feeling like I had to help somehow. I would never think to do that to someone, I was just trying to help," he said. I don't have any opinion on this…
> "My friends were in danger and they [the police] were getting quite hands-on. They were petulantly resisting arrest (it looks on camera to scream instead of just complying calmly) while committing destructive/violent crimes. The police were very restrained here. There was no danger from the police, at all. Now a police officer doing their job has a spinal injury. Palestine Action says they will not stop doing 'dire…
I know this isn't very on the topic, but these articles make me cringe physically. > “You should compete,” I suggested. > He smirked. “I always compete.” Feels like a vocal jerk-off. Just tell me the details, idc how tuff the interview was.
This is fantasy fiction for VCs, founders, AI bros, and anyone else who isn't actually looking for information.

Why don't you just use Claude? I don't get all these vibe coding tools when Claude is better than any of them
Third world country could be region blocked. Not sure why this is controversial. I know it’s an issue with Cursor as they have to limit availability of models based on region. OpenAI specifically blocks India and Pakistan for example, among a long list of other countries.

The Hamas charter indicates that they would accept a two-state solution with 1967 borders. This is not something the state of Israel will accept and is quite blatant in declaring that they would prefer to keep up the genocide.
Note also that Hamas never repealed their 1988 charter that called for the annihilation of Israel and contains openly antisemitic language.
For a two-state solution to work, Hamas will need to recognise Israel's right to co-exist alongside a Palestine state. And Hamas will need to stop killing innocent Israeli citizens.

I have a habit now of getting that out of the way first just so I don't have to think about it. Get a basic functioning prototype and then figure out my infra and deployment as early as possible.
Well, I got it out of the way early, but I keep discovering changes need to be made...
For personal projects, usually Firebase (+ occasional Cloud Run mixed in) which makes it relatively easy.
For professional projects, it's pretty easy now on AWS with their (unfortunately named) Copilot CLI [0] (highly, highly recommended).
But mostly, I keep my infra simple and bias towards modular monoliths [1] which ends up being the majority of my infra work (container packaging and deployment of the initial runtime infra).

The VAST majority of the deaths were from sectarian violence.
That was caused by a power vacuum and US's intentional act to oust the Ba'ath Party, remove all control from a country and it will fall to chaos especially when blood feuds are involved .
So success buys you ideological latitude

Someone with a tendency towards racist generalisations might start disliking a particular group due to the zeitgeist identifying "disliking the behaviour of a political entity" with "disliking all members of an ethnic group", though. If they previously didn't hold any such views, then they would go from "not racist" to "racist". (If you disagree with my category boundaries, you can construct your own similar example…

I don't think we should treat extremely powerful men as powerless victims of antisemitism who've done nothing to stoke the flames, a priori. Maybe they haven't: I certainly don't blame George Soros for the George Soros conspiracy theories (even though he partly does: I think he's wrong to blame himself any amount, since a non-Jew doing Black Wednesday or philanthropy wouldn't have emboldened the antisemites). But people in charge of states and militaries, who've been accused of war crimes by rather a lot of international justice bodies, who rarely let a chance to say "if you hate our decisions, you hate all members of this group" pass them by? They might be contributing to the bigotry. If a racist said something like that, we'd rightly condemn it as stoking the flames of hatred: why should it be any different, if someone else says it?

What does "Zionist" mean to you? I honestly don't understand what it means when Israel has existed as a Jewish state for 76 years and seems likely to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
