I like the keys. The key has the locker number on it, so you don't have to remember anything. And there's no way to screw up setting the pin because of a language barrier, since there are basically no instructions needed for key l

Don't assume the output of the LLM is correct? You always have to verify these things, Cursor is no different.

So in other words, the US domestic manufacturing economy is very highly dependent on the military industrial complex. That sure dosn't bode well for the rest of the world.

Houses are an asset. Wealthy people in search of assets will buy the houses and rent them back to you. Or they will invest in companies that buy the houses and rent them, or banks that buy them and mortgage them for a profit.

The point goku12 was making was that the videos are evidence that such discrimination exists in the real world, not that the videos themselves are the only problem.

A similar thing happens with all kinds of iconography, from flags to logos. People can easily recognize many logos, but when asked to draw them they often can't come very close. https://magazine.adler.co.uk/promotional-

Every regime needs some way to encourage people other than "we'll kill you if you don't". Letting them keep 15% makes the work more attractive.

Not a direct response but just a follow up question. I'm curious how much surplus supply folks think there needs to be in such a scenario. We've seen that landlords are willing to hold units vacant in order to keep their property

This is the second time someone on HN has used this line as a "gotcha" to me and I honestly don't understand the mindset that leads to them thinking this is a good reply. Everyone should get to do genocide as a treat, and the

Fair enough, I'm getting into the weeds a bit and left some things unsaid. What I'm referring to is a rhetorical technique deployed to get people to simmer down and accept the status quo. Folks who support Israel know they can&#x2

Ok, I'll bite. Which of Israel's "excesses" (interesting word choice) do you specifically condemn?

What's more interesting to me is that folks who support Israel often act as though their audience hasn't heard all these arguments before, and have't been passively absorbing pro-Israel propaganda for most of their lives. At

Wow that supposed "both sides" facade really vanished pretty quickly didn't it? Not even a performative condemnation of Israel's constant onslaught of home demolitions and illegal settlements.

Unfortunately this vacuous "both sides" claptrap isn't going to work anymore because we've all seen Israel's true face now.

I know this is a trivial thing to point out in the context of such a discussion but the expression you want is "carrot and stick". A cane is a kind of stick that you can also hit with, the verb "to cane" means to hit so

How many Jewish refugees did the allies take in WW2? This was literally a talking point used by antisemites to demonize Jews (the refugees nobody wanted) in the 1930s. And now the same talking points are being used in the same way by Jewish
