> sure it was reprehensible

Exactly, and organizing a support for Palestine immediately after Palestine committed a massacre is NOT okay.

> criticising hamas seems like premature optimization

Are you saying we shouldn't criticize Palestine?

> picking something basically irrelevant to the overall conflict

Why do I have to pick? Why do you need to pick?

We can criticize both. Both are evil in different aspects.

Why do you have so much issue with criticizing the evilness of Palestine?

Yeah, meanwhile all the wealthy people actively manage their port with an insane amount of efforts. They would compensate hedge fund manager with insane amount of money.

Then, they turn around and tell average people to forget about the investment. Just park your money in the index fund over the long run. I mean, if you are either stupid or don't have time, then yeah please only do index fund.

But the protest isn't about who funds whom. It's about criticizing what Israel is doing.

> If you didn't want to discuss that, then you shouldn't have brought it up.

I want to discuss it but you misunderstand the topic and seem angry based on your own misunderstanding.

The protest isn't about Hamas/Palestine. It's about criticizing what Israel is doing.

You sound more out of touch...

We all know why, and the reason doesn't fit what you want to believe. That's why you pretend to be obscure about it. Otherwise, you would have just said so out loud already.

I've never seen any protest by students that protested against Palestine.

In fact, at University of Washington, a protest was organized to support Palestine after the Oct 7 massacre on Oct 8; they chose to show support Palestine after Palestine did a massacre. And there was a very little criticism on that kind of actions.

> you clearly think the Palestine side are worse

You only think that in order to fit your narrative... even I already stated the contrary.

> that’s good enough reason to protest.

Clearly, this protest isn't about that. The protest is about criticizing Israel's actions.

It's you who should stop being disingenuous

The swing of the market based on the president's crazy tweets is just insane. This cannot go on for much longer. I will be parking my money at a safer place

US t-bill (4w) until the market crashes. For 401K, I'll just move it to money market/bond.

We don't really need to maximize the profits all the time. Not losing the money is good too.

I think it may happen before then. That's why I'm thinking of liquidating it soon-ish. Trump is doing too much crazy things. He cannot prop up the market for that long.

I plan to put most of the money in US t-bill (4 week) to earn 3% for now.

It's the last bump before I liquidate all my stocks. I predict that the crash will come at the end or the beginning of the next president which is likely democrat.

Not that it's democrat's fault but democrat is more disciplined

> She meant impossible in that one doesn't earn a billion dollars through work alone

She meant it was unethical to do so. It wasn't about working alone or not.

I know we like AOC but the way people bend over backward for her is off-putting.

Who knows? Even savvy investors wouldn't know.

What they know right now is that the model is so advanced the US government has to ban it, and the model comes out of Anthropic. Not Google. Not OpenAI.

> because they’re so bleeding edge and powerful.

Investors will have so much FOMO over this

It is already a rewarding hype. They are the first company to build a model so advanced that the US government has to ban it.

Google and OpenAI will eventually catch up and be banned as well. Therefore, this ban isn't really a huge concern for Anthropic since their competitors will be banned eventually.

All this does is proving to investors that Anthropic is indeed ahead of its competitors.

> Anthropic got what they deserved

Anthropic got the most rewarding hype ever in the history of mankind.

Imagine a private company invents a piece of technology soooo good that the US government has to issue a ban.

Did the government ban any models from Google or OpenAI? Nah, Russian/Chinese spies and ISIS are welcome to use those dumb models.

Anthropic will probably go for $2T IPO now.

Adyen isn't self-serve, so it's difficult for common people to be hyped with it.

More importantly, Adyen doesn't have a messiah-like founder. Patrick is like the second coming of Jesus.

Why not just dutch company?

There are European countries that are obviously pro-russia...

Company devices are always tracked 100% of the time.

I don't understand why this is news.

It's to allow employees to confidentially browse the soft-core-like reels while at work. Nobody wants to be tracked while doing that.

> we expect you to be an independent thinker.

Exactly! Iranian regime has been adversarial to say the least.

Not sure what evidence you had that they were friendly...

The person is likely going through the 5 stages of coping.

1. The product isn't useful

2. The product is useful but nobody is using it.

3. Ok, a lot of people are using it but nobody is buying it.

4. Ok, some people are buying it but the product is not innovative. Somebody invented it first. <--- the person is here.

5. Ok, the product is innovative but it's not like it will cure cancer!!!

The most surprising thing is that the whole world somehow has built dependency on Hormuz which has been known for decades that it is controlled by Iran, an adversarial actor to the west.

Nobody ever thinks of, you know, building redundancy for Hormuz?

Your point is that Meta should selectively follow on a part o f the regulations of that country?

That wouldn't end up well.

The tricky part is that these are public lands owned by the city/government e.g. homeless camping close to my house on a public street.

But yeah people who don't live close to that specific spot should have 0 say.

> 1) Those who believe that every human born on this planet has a basic right to move to and live in, any country that they want.

This is an extremely small group of people.

Most of them pretend to be in the group to virtue-signal.

Same with homeless problem. We must not move/clear homeless camps (as long as those camps aren't next to my house, of course).

It's crazy that mega corporations follow the country's regulations.

Bad stuff. I know.

You just need a really long stick and walk around the city while trying to use the long stick to click the button on camera.

It's important to not look suspicious. You may also need to start lifting weights right now. That long stick is going to be heavy.

> How about addressing the root causes of crime (i.e. poverty)

Ok, let's get on it!

What do we do while we wait for the root causes to be addressed? It has been more than 20-30 years at least.

Can we use short-term solutions while waiting? no?
