The research cost recovery line they often yap about is bullshit itself though. The overwhelming majority of pharma research like the one involved here is subsidized through taxpayer dollars already, and they get tax incentives and write offs for failed research. If we had a sane, working government we could nationalize all life saving medications funded by public money while still allowing the inventors to enjoy some (reasonable) economic benefits from the research

Change your shit asap. Anyone who has access to it can theoretically auth as you on any site or product that uses that 2fa setup. They would still need to have your underlying credentials that would initiate the 2fa protocol exchange anyway, but if they have access to your underlying 2fa secret, its not too far fetched to believe they may have other credentials potentially, depending on how you’ve secured the access and where you store your credentials. To be safe and not paranoid, it’s best to just do a root trust rotation and cycle the underlying auth creds

Future

It seems like a nation which has been radicalized by decades of failures at peace initiatives and the same decades of unrelenting violence directed at their civilians.

This, imo, is beautifully stated, and on its own could apply to either side depending on framing. Which is why the entire situation is even more sad and frustrating.

Even though I disagree with you on the overall perception of Israel/Palestine, I respect your pursuit of open dialogue so ill ask this since you’re seemingly open to engaging in good faith: what would be the ideal solution to bring about an immediate end the extreme bloodshed and shelling of Gaza from a pro-Isrseli perspective? (No gotchas or setups, genuinely interested)

Countries aren’t houses…

No shit. It’s an analogy.

Also, in your analogy, these people are somehow magically just moving in as if space and housing is freely available when in reality everyone moving in did it by taking away land from and displacing the people already living in the neighborhood. Of course the people being displaced would feel a type of way about it.

Also, why should the original neighbors have to negotiate with a group of people who moved in against their will and are now slowly starting to take over and assert their presence and values on the original neighborhood home owners? (And let’s be clear - an HOA is generally a representative body serving the interest of the neighborhood, so it does not apply in this case as the “HOA” in the historical sense never agreed with this move in the first place. It was the land developers who don’t even live in the city or state that made the decision because it was most profitable for them and served their interests. The neighbors had zero say in the whole thing to begin with).

Besides all of that, if we just take the history out of it completely, and just look at the last 8 months: does Israel seem to you like a sane nation? Are their actions and indiscriminate killings justified in your mind? Just based on what we have all seen and what’s publicly available from the last 8 months

It takes you to telegram

Let’s just have a thought experiment: say you live in a house that’s owned by your father. He and I get into a fight, I whoop his ass, and then after that I decide that the house is now no longer his to do with as he pleases, and instead I move a random guy from Milwaukee into the house with you. You’re not happy with this and are rightly pissed off, but you didn’t “own” the house to begin with and I don’t give a shit about what you have to say, so I ignore you. After a few months you and this dude are not getting along and get into it. I don’t like that you’re giving my man shit so I give him a bat to beat you with anytime you complain. He in turn uses the bat to expand into other rooms in the house - now he wants your bathroom, your kitchen, your other bedrooms…until after a while he’s taken over the house and you’re living in a closet. What’s more, you can’t get in or out of the house without passing through “his” property now, so you’re forced to rely on him for everything. And if you complain, you’re told that you’re being prejudiced against him and trying to eradicate him from existence. Meanwhile he continually keeps encroaching on your remaining closet space. When you do get fed up from time to time and throw shit at him, he responds by absolutely demolishing your remaining closet space and making it uninhabitable. But he assures you and the neighbors that you’re the one abusing him and he’s within his right to defend himself against your unjustified and unprovoked attacks. After all, it’s his property and you just hate him for no reason. And at this point, you’re not even talking about wanting him out of the house anymore - you’re just talking about wanting to have restored access to a bathroom and kitchen. But that’s not going to fly with my guy. Instead, he figures he can just pancake you in the closet and then do that big renovation project he’s been planning for 60+ years. And if you don’t agree with that plan? Well, then you’re just being hateful and want to see him eradicated clearly.

How would you feel in this situation?

A few minutes away from the world record of not blinking. Haven’t attempted since I was a teen though

He’s no Jesus. Certainly no fucking Elvis.

All fair points.

100% agreed. But sales people gotta sell so you end up with “solutions” that create the problem they’re claiming to solve in the first place

A properly architected and implemented microservice architecture optimizes work throughput while minimizing risk. In practice its architecting in such a way that no part can take down the whole individually - the very opposite of a monolith where everything is inseparably interdependent at some level.

Problem is, most organizations don’t know how to properly architect for and integrate microservice architectures into their environments and work process. Most think that a crew of former sysadmins can just spin up a few saas services, slap some autoscaling on it if they’re feeling spicy, segment along traditional monolith “frontend/backend” lines for “security,” and call it a day. They then spend time and money learning and/or fighting this system, only to see minimal (if any) improvement in work capacity/quality and instead end up with an outsized cloud bill.

What the fuck are you on about?

Spectacular. It captures a vast amount of distinct worlds and geographic wonders

Serious question: what, in your opinion, makes Aljazeera a non-credible news source? And what, in turn, do you consider examples of credible news sources on the subject?

Same thing with “monkey bread”, though less overt and I’d argue in some ways more sinister

I’ve always heard that term used for Brazillian Nuts
