How can you look at the current support for Trump and conclude you would've won in the US by not supporting Israel?

While I have no love for the Iranian regime I fear this will end up like the 'liberation' of Iraq: A massive power vacuum in an unstable Islamic regime. What even is the plan here if the air assault fails? Boots on the ground? In

This is very thorough. Thanks for the direct link. The case seems pretty clear, especially since the soldiers tried to hide all evidence.

One of those odd moments where a YouTube title looks like clickbait but is actually, factually correct. +1 for this video, and the Branch education one. Well done to both teams.

Since tariffs apparently brought in about $200 billion I guess you can add another 0.66% to the 2025 deficit.

There are usually a few companies between the importer and the consumer. So the importers could only refund the business they sold it to and likely won't if nothing was specified in the purchase contract. Though this is obviously a fir

It's odd to me that something as fundamental as 'can the President unilaterally impose tariffs on any country he wants anytime he wants' is apparently so ill defined in law that 9 justices can't agree on it.

Well MinIO has some weird quirks but I wanted to point out that "open source and free" and "self hosting" are not the same. MinIO took away the source, not the self hosting.

I won't but a decent % of people do ye. In fact a decent % of people stops shopping on your site if there's a few ms lag. At every step a few percent of revenue is lost your competitor takes in.

Cool post, thanks. Though I would want to know how much cheaper Hetzner actually is compared to AWS? We looked at StackIT at my company and they were twice as expensive... Which was a bit surprising to me. I currently rent a full, dedicated

Meh. Being 'anti AI' is just hot right now and lots of people are jumping on the bandwagon. I'm sure some of them will actually hold out. Just like those people still buying Vinyl because Spotify is 'not art' or wha

Yes, these laws have unintended consequences. I think at the continental scale the EU operates every law or decision has that. But the current incentives in the fashion market also has unintended consequences: companies producing a lot of g

Many potentially addictive things or addictive properties of things are regulated. Try selling something containing Nicotine and you will find the EU has an opinion on that, too.

I guess we need a new type of Open Source license. One that is very permissive except if you are a company with a much larger revenue than the company funding the open source project, then you have to pay. While I loath the moves to close

I just build my k8s homelab with AI. It’s insane how productive I am. I used to have “breaks” looking for specific keywords or values to enter while crafting a yaml. Now the AI makes me skip all of that, essentially.

Philips was the European Samsung. They spun-off their divisions and now operate independently. Even the OG division: lighting, has been spun off.

When you say "worse" shareholders will say: "globally dominant in multiple platforms". Sure Android might be worse from a pure Linux perspective, but what shareholder has ever cared about that.
