This pattern seems to repeat itself often in large tech companies. Does anyone remember SAP Hana?

It's interesting, because I initially thought these restrictions in UAE were strictly because of operational security. That is why Israel and Ukraine, for example, also forbid posting images of missile impacts: it provides valuable tar

Is there anything I said that you believe is incorrect?

You haven't addressed the fact that the overwhelming OSINT consensus contradicts their claim, making it fringe by definition. I am very familiar with FA, and with that particular paper. That's the thing with echo chambers: the peo

Congratulations, you found the one fringe publication that contradicts the overwhelming consensus from OSINT and official investigations alike. You wanted so badly Israel to be responsible, that you decided to trust the least credible sourc

Are you familiar with the Al-Ahli hospital incident in Gaza? We've been through this sort of circus before... Those of us who paid attention learned to not rush to conclusions, and never, ever trust social media or the western press to

Where do I start... In 1979–1981, Iranian revolutionary forces and aligned militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostage during the Iran hostage crisis. In 1983, IRGC-backed proxies carried out the Beirut barrack

Repeating the IRGC claim that "American forces killed between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls between the ages of seven and 12" without attribution or scrutiny, is not "reporting". It's fine to be skeptical o

Iran proxies were extremely active in Syria, as they were close allies of the Assad regime. They are responsible for countless exactions. In 1992 there was a deadly car bomb attack in Argentina, killing 29 people and injuring 250 more. Then

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But I'm noticing that you are only interested in guessing the motives and actions of the US. Does the IRGC not have motives and agency of their own? Perhaps the explosion was cau

I haven't said anything about trusting them. I am simply correcting statements about what the US has supposedly "admitted". It's one thing to say "I think the US did XYZ". It's quite another to say "I

That article is based on anonymous sources ("according to [people] familiar with the preliminary findings"). It doesn't mean it's wrong, but it's not an official confirmation by the US government, and it only speaks

I agree with all of that. My worry is that the Guardian article is not doing any of it , and in fact is damaging the framework for even having such a conversation.. Instead they are repeating IRGC statements without attribution, and establ

I think it's likely that the explosion was caused by a US strike. But we don't actually know for sure that that's what happened - the US government has not confirmed it. We also don't know anything about casualties - we

This is incorrect. The US government (via Secretary Hegseth) has only confirmed that they are investigating the incident. What the US has NOT confirmed : - that they are responsible for the bombing - who hit the school - whether the scho

You can't have a serious discussion of this bombing without addressing the information warfare component. To this day we don't know what actually happened . Between the general public and the facts, there are many middlemen, all

I'm a happy Tin Can customer. For young children (5 and 7 in my case) it's especially delightful to give them a measure of autonomy, at an age where they don't yet have a mobile phone. They get to call their friends and famil

Dagger (dagger.io) has its own container execution stack, and supports dagger-in-dagger natively, with logical scoping, and without depth limit. Would love to show you both a demo, if you're interested! (Disclaimer, I'm the CEO of

Yes, we are re-focused on CI. We heard loud and clear that we should pick a lane: either a runtime for AI agents, or deterministic CI. We pick CI. Ironically, this makes Dagger even more relevant in the age of coding agents: the bottleneck

In moments like this, it's useful to have a "break glass" mode in your CI tooling: a way to run a production CI pipeline from scratch, when your production CI infrastructure is down. Otherwise, if your CI downtime coincides w

I understand where you're coming from, but this is a flawed analogy. The legal framework for the Palestinian Authority's existence is a bilateral treaty . Israel did not unilaterally create this flawed administrative entity: it w

The peace process that Oslo initiated is certainly dead. But Oslo itself, as the last bilateral agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, is de facto the law of the land, even though it was meant as an interim agreement. For b
