Reddalo omitted the negation when quoting the parent comment. In general its considered rude to quote someone in a way that implies they are saying something different from what they said.

I dont particularly agree with this article, but there have been quanta articles i've read in the past that went so far trying to make the topic accessible that it became incomprehensible. Where they used so many metaphors and simplifi

> Iran does have missiles that can hit Israel so I do have to question whether they can hit Ukraine True, but those are probably in relatively short supply for them at this point. I'd imagine they would want to save them for Israel.

While i agree that the poster is reading way too much into this, i'm not sure about the geopolitics. Iran is friends with Russia and has helped them with their weapons program in the past. None of the countries allied with Ukraine like

AI is famous for hallucinating and misunderstanding subtle points, especially when you get away from the typical stuff it is trained on.

DMARC is essentially an opt-in to strict mode. Primarily it prevents other people from forging email to look like it is coming from you. The goal of dmarc is to prevent other people from impersonating you.

But we regulate lots of tools. Cars are tools, you still need a license. I'm fully pro gun control. I still think guns are instrinsically tools, neither inherently good nor evil. They are still dangerous and should be regulated as such
