No, they are more aware of the customer demand for compute in the region.

Now imagine if Bush & his family were assassinated by AQ on 9/11, and you’ll understand why the majority of Iranians inside Iran will not be celebrating.

by Cyph0n 7mo ago
You realize that international law exists, right? Or are we now OK with devolving into a world where assassinating heads of state and cabinet members is applauded?

The problem with passkeys is that they aren’t exportable (at least from Bitwarden).

The Iranians are pragmatic. Look beyond their relationship with the US. There are other state actors that Iran wants to remain in good relations with. They understand that a defensive war is not the same as an offensive war. Besides, going

And on the off chance this defense doesn’t work? No system is perfect. Put another way, would the risk calculation for an attack on Iran be as easy as it is right now? The point of having nuclear capabilities is to make the risk calculation

They love to project the past crimes of the West onto the East as a justification for their current crimes.

No. Any other questions, or do you want to just continue feigning interest in having an actual conversation?

Not really sure what to say here. Maybe it’s a lack of empathy or imagination because the victims are Palestinians? Perhaps a good thought experiment would be to swap out Israel and Palestine with some other similar (real or fictional) conf

A wonderful quote that demonstrates how Israel applies different standards to itself: even its active duty combatants are painted as helpless innocents! “Nimrod Cohen was abducted from Tank 3” https://www.ynetnews.com/articl

So the best you can say about Israel’s conduct over the course of the past 2.5 years is that it “warrants scrutiny”? And if you want to play the number of victims game, even pre Oct 7 one side has always had it significantly worse than the

You make it sound as if Israel merely made a few PR blunders.. They’ve killed 10s of thousands of Palestinian children. This is not salvageable without justice and accountability.

The activism worked. Polling shows that support for Israel is dwindling especially among the younger population.

by Cyph0n 7mo ago
To add to this: anyone who still does not see that Israel is by and far the most dangerous rogue state in the region is (at best) blinded by propaganda. Iran has repeatedly demonstrated restraint and pragmatism throughout these aggression

I agree, but I believe Gaza is the culmination of this reality due to the cross-section of advanced surveillance, drone tech, and AI-based warfare. It is the first time this combination is fully applied to a non-conventional military/g

Wrong, but feel free to replace genocide with whatever term you deem politically correct and try to understand my wider point.

I get it dude, but my wider point is that we need to question where this line of argumentation leads to. Are we saying that, because scamming exists and we haven’t proposed an alternative, it means that clamping down on software installatio

by Cyph0n 8mo ago
Obviously I disagree completely. But it is still sad to see this kind of reasoning on HN of all places :(

by Cyph0n 8mo ago
Right, but this same problem (scamming) exists on PCs. Would it make sense to then argue that enforcing TPM-backed measured boot and binary signature verification is a legitimate way to address the problem?
144.
by Cyph0n 8mo ago
I see, thanks for the clarification.
145.
by Cyph0n 8mo ago
Does your logic extend to PCs? If not, why? Because I hope you realize that clamping down on “sideloading” (read: installing unsigned software) on PCs is the next logical step. TPMs are already present on a large chunk of consumer PCs - the

Uh not really? As a comparison, it is almost impossible to naturalize if you decide to work in the two cited examples (China and KSA). Also, the green card process very much depends on your nationality.

Just to add one more point that makes the US attractive to global talent: citizenship. In particular: 1) citizenship at birth and 2) viable path to citizenship via green card. Of course, both of these are in the crosshairs for “revision”.

Regarding this comment specifically, if you took the time to read the next sentence, you would have understood that “back” is referring to Jordan. I have read your other comments. I am not going to engage further, for two reasons: 1. You’re
