It's intended as my informed opinion as a response to the parent less informed opinion with questionable sources. I'm not the one writing a blog and pretending to be an expert. I have some knowledge and I can write what I want. I

So 90% of British wanted were being brutally oppressed on the eve of WW2 and called on the Nazis to bomb the UK so they can overthrow the government? Not only that but weeks before the Nazi attacks the UK government mowed down protestors wi

In Israel helicopters are routinely taking down these drones. There are many videos of them chasing them down. There was an incident where some houses were hit by that cannon fire as well. They are finding them (presumably with radar). You&

Not really. Most people will just switch sides. There aren't that many people for whom fighting to the death with other Iranians is a goal. If the 10% can control the 90% today then the 90% will have no problem controlling the 10%.

OK. So I think your answer is actually a yes? In this case however you can pretty much do the same thing with other financial instruments like future contract on oil. Either way, I agree decision makers shouldn't be allowed to trade (a

In the sense that someone is manipulating the real world to make money in the prediction markets? Otherwise it's just like options.

They randomly shoot in all directions but they also managed to hit some things (e.g. the US installation in Kuwait and a US radar) that are probably actual legit targets. But yes, hotels, apartment buildings, (civilian) airports, container

You'd be surprised that Israeli media has decent coverage of the damage from Iran's attacks to Israel and the gulf. Random e.g.: https://www.timesofisrael.com/at-least-25-iranian-attacks-ha... The CBC hasn't

Everyone says there's no historical examples but there is no exact parallel either. I wouldn't argue based on historical precedence here. The challenge is that regime is large and armed and they can hide and weather the storm. The

I can argue both sides but under the assumption (which I think is true) that 80%-90% of Iranians want to remove the regime there's some possibility of success. That said there's also the possibility of screwing things up completel

The core of the problem is that the US stepped back under Obama from being the guarantor of global order. The world needs policing and deterrence is the sad reality otherwise everything goes to hell. Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Why is Ch

Wars are hard to predict and the economy is hard to predict. There's easy money in the making for those who are sure the oil price is going to continue way up. The blog you reference has inaccuracies. Drones are generally not shot by T

A lot of simple songs are just open "cowboy" chords for sure. But those are played on the first frets while the guitar is typically intonated at the 12th fret and tuned with open strings. I would expect those first frets to be fai

I don't think this is generally true for the guitar. There are even songs that have notes intentionally out of tune (e.g. Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers). Agree with the OP that the characteristics of the guitar, including it

There is a lot more Claude Code can do for you that an AI chat bot can't because it a) has tool access b) has access to your source code. - Root cause and fix failures. - Run any code "what if scenario". - Performance optimiz

I also have good experience with wearing ear protection in a quiet room. But I haven't been disciplined enough about it. My probably wrong rationale is that part of the issue is hearing loss and reducing the volume retrains your brain

I consider myself very good at writing software. I built and shipped many projects. I built systems from zero. Embedded, distributed, SaaS- you name it. I'm having a lot of fun with AI. Any idiot can't prompt their way to the same

It's a lot of fun. I'm also an old timer. I think it's also somewhat addictive. I wonder if that's part of what's at play here. A coworker that never argues with you, is happy to do endless toil... sometimes messes

The US support is a fraction of Israel's budget. Fun fact, the US didn't use to support Israel when it was created. The support started much later. Israel would do just fine without US support. Israel's enemies without oil an

I'm a logical and rational person. Not a fanatic. Whether I minimize or maximize my "country's defeat" makes absolutely no difference. If Israel was defeated I'd have no problem saying that. Israel is strategically

We did not travel to the US during Trump's first presidency either. That said, I do think some people are doing things for the wrong reasons and there is some manipulation of the masses at play here. One example is I expect most people

That was an Argentinian court so I'm not sure the government matters. Also there is other evidence of Iran's involvement. Not to mention countless other attacks on Israel proper and Israelis. I don't think it's clear fro

Israel has taken very little damage. The quantity of rockets and missiles is significantly lower than the previous rounds, going down. Hezbollah and Iran are getting crushed. That is the reality.
