Because having air frames constantly cycling in the air for six weeks straight is hard on both soldiers and air frames, so having a breather for maintenance and recovery is crucial.

And Oil is not crucial for the US at all, it is hitting Europe and poor countries the most by far.

I did not imply that it does, I meant to have a budget allocated for 'unauthenticated deep history queries', when it's over it's over and you only handle dynamic fetching for authorized users until cooldown.

Is it pretty? No, but it also is a pretty niche thing overall (git repo storage).

that's a pretty niche issue, but fairly easy to solve.

Prebuild statically the most common commits (last XX) and heavily rate limit deeper ones

Vast majority of websites today can and should be static, which makes even the aggressive llm scrapping non-issue.

You don't lower the cost of killing by improved targeting, you lower it by thugs shooting people in broad daylight with no consequences.

I understand the argument that moving the decision making power to a black box would clear conscience of the operator, yadda yadda yadda, but newsflash, price of human life is falling so quick, that I think we're far beyond the point where it matters.

by dumb munitions I mean older bombs vs JDAM and alike.

Anyone who seriously speaks words 'nuclear weapon' and 'gaza' together is basically admitting he has 0 clue about the situation and is uninformed larper for either side.

Israeli settlers are despicable, but even in current government those who support them are minority freaks(who Hamas has empowered very much after October 7th).

Also it is a two way street, there is also a problem of Palestinian settlers, which while I do want to highlight is separate and in no way justifies the Israeli ones, is still a real problem and harnesses a lot of bad publicity when Israel destroys said illegal settlements.

Why does israel use expensive precise munitions wherever possible rather than their stockpiles of much more deadly "dumb" ones?

I don't know, just an anecdote:

I populated my Instagram/FB Account with my interests (I mainly have the accounts to follow local racing leagues / marketplaces), and feeds are mostly cars and tech stuff, seldom do I see any thirst traps in it (including reels).

>As a contrast, in the early web, plenty of people were hosting their own website, and messing around with all the basic tools available to see what novel thing they could create

I'm hoping that the already full of slop centralized platforms now with LLM fueled implosion will overflow and lead to a renaissance of sorts for small and open web, niche communities and decoupling from big tech.

It's already gaining traction among the young, as far as I can see.

I ask in more general sense, if there is a way to fetch this stuff directly from webarchive or something along those lines.

Gotta hit the search I feel :)

Ask HN: How does one archive websites like this without being a d-ck?

I want to save this for offline use, but I think recursive wget is a bit poor manners, is there established way one should approach it, get it from archive somehow?

>Blaming DPRK's "economic mismanagement" while making no mention of the Western sanctions on DPRK which are the cause of its catastrophic economic and humanitarian situation

The catastrophic humanitarian situation IS the cause for the sanctions.

That is a position of privilege.

Justifies? What a privileged position.

It is great shame that fascist US regime is the only real hope and ally of Persian people today, but it is what it is.

(Israel too, but Israel alone cannot do much).

(But I'm sure EU will send a strongly worded letter any day now)

I've been to the protest in Berlin, it's mostly Iranian diaspora there with all my "used-to-be-friends" that turned with Gaza stuff silent as ever.
