Having worked in large corporates (and some government projects) issuing out RFPs, the final decision tends to go: let's just go with an established name like PwC even if they're more expensive (and given we have the budget approv

Given the product splits, Model S and X served no further purpose besides taking up production capacity. If that unlocked capacity is used for more Model 3/Y builds or other product lines, then that would be a net positive for the comp

Carmakers discontinue models all the time. The support network is still around, and parts will still be produced for a while.

The point is, the user shouldn't have to work around the OS. The OS should work around the user. If there are unsaved files, the OS should not be installing an update and removing unsaved work.

Apparently they leave it glossy so that it doesn't impact the camera quality. I remember reading this somewhere but can't confirm the source sorry.

Thank you for acknowledging there are counter-protests in Iran.

Are you denying that there are two groups of protestors currently in Iran?

by ebbi 9mo ago
Depends what you mean by 'help' Because the interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya didn't really help the citizens. Instead it created more instability, and created power vacuums for other sorts of violence and degenera

Sorry, but basic logic doesn't entail that counter-protestors are organized by the IRGC. Especially when you know a bunch of Iranians. I know IRGC is bad, there is no argument there. But to take agency away from Iranians that could gen

There is another alternative, which a lot of my Irani friends prefer. Which is a regime change without foreign interference. A puppet installed by US/Israel is a puppet that will only benefit those countries.

Do you have a source for these counter protests being organized and dictated by IRGC? I agree with your other points. This current regime has degraded Iran to very unfortunate levels. I really hope for a regime change for Iran, I sincerely

I won't continue, but it's great you clearly highlight your hypocrisy, and proves my thoughts on how people in the West get so easily led by their governments and media. "no need for me to do so" or because you just can&

Agree. Little 3 year old Melina was killed by armed anti-government protestors while on her way to a pharmacy with her dad. It's sad people don't see these dead bodies and take positions, because popular media don't publish t

Do you want to expound on why it's propaganda and argue why, or are you denying the fact there are two groups of protestors currently in Iran? Please make your point clear without accusing me of supporting state-sponsored violence.

The difference is one set of protestors support US/Israel intervention for regime change. The other group of protestors are protesting against this. There is a segment within this group that are ardently pro-Regime. The other segment (

Very presumptuous of you. OP asked what a layman could do to help the protestors, and I asked which protestors he wants to support. I despise the Iranian government lol. Stop attributing intent where there isn't.
229.
by ebbi 9mo ago
Which ones? The ones protesting for a regime change in support of US/Israel intervention? Or the ones that are counter-protesting that know foreign intervention will be a net negative for their country?

I asked for evidence, and you can't even provide it. Hold yourself to the same standards you expect of others.

by ebbi 9mo ago
Where did I state it was an Israeli invasion? Also, source on the 'massive protest'? Present the evidence.

The nuance here is that most Iranians favor regime change, but majority of them don't want it to come via US/Israel-led change.
234.
by ebbi 9mo ago
I agree - their primary aim is to defang, but the regime change will need to follow so that they can put someone in power that they can control.

Why do you think it's extraordinary? I know quite a lot of Iranians, and when I talked about this with them about a year ago, their lay of the land given their own opinions and their wider networks opinion is that the majority of Irani

I agree that the anti-regime movement is not all the product of foreign intervention, but I'd say some (and even wager majority) are. Not acknowledging foreign intervention in this aspect would not give a fuller picture of the dynamics

Small sample, but talking about this with my Iranian friends, the sentiment among them and their wider network is that they do acknowledge that Iran has problems, that they need a change in leadership, but that they do NOT want a regime cha

Agree - but a lot of the sentiment I hear from my Iranian friends (and recent pro-regime protestors comments) is that they acknowledge they have issues, but they don't want a regime change at the hands of USA and Israel. I despise the

The US also armed the predecessors to the Taliban during the Cold War. What is your point?

by ebbi 9mo ago
I'm not so sure. There are plenty of pro-regime protests in Iran currently, and the general replies on interviews I've seen is "yes we have our problems, but we don't want Israel and the US fixing it", which tracks
