The view that trump went to Iran because “regime awful” does not seem to qualify

A war of what? Do you really believe that states wage war because of "revenge"?

> Perhaps America isn't as dumb as you think

No, they are dumber.

If this presidency was in Europe - or any other 1st world country - it would have been obliterated immediately and the party wiped out in the next elections.

> because of their strategic preparation.

lol to that.

But it is, the US is no position to flatten anything.

Afghanistan? Lost Vietnam? Lost Ukraine? Lost Iran? will be lost

And these are heavily embargoed 3rd world countries.

In the first days of the Israeli-US war in Iran (a country under decades of embargo by the way) the US, Israel and vassals lost 60+ planes (plus who knows what else they are not reporting.

Trump is not coming out of this, if he makes the grave mistake of sending troops to their demise this administration is done.

I am between Estonia and the Netherlands and I'd like some advice from people who have setup in either

That's true for 99% of the scientists, but dismissing their opinion based on them not having done world shattering / ground breaking research is probably not the way to go.

> I sincerely wish we will see more competition

I really wish we don't, science isn't markets.

> Understanding world through videos

The word "understanding" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I find myself prompting again and again for corrections on an image or a summary and "it" still does not "understand" and keeps doing the same thing over and over again.

All this version alignment, the blurring of "here is a laptop with A processor and iOS" points to that direction.

The errs of Tahoe are basically a result of the rush on that direction

Claude Code and it's parallels have extinguished multiple ones.

I was able to steer clear of the Bitcoin/NFT/Passport bros but it turns out they infiltrated the profession and their starry puppy delusional eyes are trying to tell me that iteration X of product Y released yesterday evening is "going to change everything".

They have started redefining what "I have build this" actually means, and they have outjerked the executives by slinging outrageous value creation narratives.

> I’m chasing the midnight hour and not getting any sleep.

You are 60; go spend some time with your grand-kids, smell a flower, touch grass forget chasing anything at this age cause a Tuesday like the others things are gonna wrap up.

Absolutely sincerely.

Disgusting nature aside, I can't help but be amazed as to how someone can be so well connected. What sort of skills did Epstein have that managed to have so many people on speed dial?

How do you get in a position to correspond with presidents, royals, celebrities and getting them all hooked on you?

Amazing indeed.

It's odd that we don't get to see a lot of high quality OEM monitors.

Isn't this "son of the late Shah" a guy from the US?

No it's not.

Am I supposed to counter every action taken by a conglomerate against me every time?

Do all the consumers have to align to this as well?

a TV must be a TV, in the same sense that orange juice must be made from oranges.

Looking forward to EU reining in on them.

Can you elaborate on this one? Hopefully with some citations.

Those who do that, are not interested in this ban working, they are the individualists assaulting the community.

> a) normalising people uploading identification documents...

we have technical measures for which there is no need for the end user to upload anything. With oath you can basically have a simple age check; nothing more.

> (b) a small fraction of kids branching off into fringe networks that are off the radar and will take them to very dark places very quickly.

You can always minimize the fraction, but you can never make it go away.

> Because it's politically unattractive, I don't think enough attention has been given to the harms that will flow from these laws.

This was a politically bold move and there will be no harms that will come out of it; especially when compared to the status quo.

Those who feign concern about this usually have vested interests into stopping this bill; their "interest" is just another attempt in stopping it albeit with a more "nuanced" approach.

Stop delegating action to the individual.

Me and missus are full time employees, I do not have oversight to what my kid is doom-scrolling on his lunch break.

> Passing laws that affect all of us because you are too lazy and ineffectual to raise your children properly is unacceptable.

How does it affect you? Unless you are a corporate mouthpiece this does not affect you at all.

I do not want my kid to watch any degenerate pornography on his formative years just because some lobbyist wants to shove freemarketeering ideologies down our throats.
