<p>> The UK may not be perfect but no one’s going to complain if you compare the Prime Minister or the King to a cartoon bear.<p>But if you compare Zionism to another eerily similar 20th century europe ism, a lot of people will, indeed, complain.</p>

<p>> He stood on the shoulders of Persian, Greek, Indian, and Chinese precursors, while Renaissance inventors, in turn, stood on his.<p>This is the first time in my life where a western outlet doesn't try and obfuscate the fact that many of the "discoveries" made by europeans in the the renaissance period have taken inspiration from the close to 800 years of Islamic scientific research (who themselves never failed to credit their predecessors).<p>Typically, when you study the history of science in the west, it starts at ancient greece (who have no contemporaries) then there's a massive blackout of 800 years and poof ! The "light" is magically turned on.<p>Fair play to the author for not being biased.</p>

<p>That's probably because anything of relevance or incriminating has been redacted.<p>Which defeats the entire purpose of releasing the files in the first place.<p>It was probably done to appease orange man's voters. Another empty gesture, like "renaming the gulf of mexico to gulf of america"</p>

<p>> I run a B2B SaaS. Support costs is what eats you alive: in case of a complex B2B app anything below $40/month is unsustainable<p>I agree to an extent. But it largely depends on the complexity of your offering. If all you do is expose flat data through an API, you can maybe get away with an API Gateway x Lambda x DynamoDB combo, which would cost virtually nothing as the free tier is very generous.<p>Just my 2c.</p>
