etc-hosts··on French ex-president Sarkozy begins jail sentence
I think if you pay attention to French and German politics, it is hard to conclude that the EU is "ultra left-wing".
etc-hosts··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
It's not a direct dependency. Route 53 is humming along... DynamoDB decided to edit its DNS records that are propagated by Route 53... they were bogus, but Route 53 happily propagated the toxic change to the rest of the universe.

DynamoDB is not going to set up its own DNS service or its own Route 53.

Maybe DynamoDB should have had tooling that tested DNS edits before sending it to Route 53, or Route53 should have tooling to validate changes before accepting them. I'm sure smart people at AWS are yelling at each other about it right now.

> And many of the apartment buildings that collapsed were because their foundations failed from the collapse of Hamas tunnels.

Come on man.

Harvard and Columbia are both learning that giving in to the current administration's demands doesn't actually get them off your back, it actually emboldens them to demand even more.

I think starving children with medical conditions is even worse! I really do not understand the recent Free Press articles about how news reporting about how children in Gaza are starving is not legitimate because the starving children in question had a medical condition. How does that matter? What audience is this news for? It makes everyone involved look like ghouls.

In 2009 the US sentenced the 5 leaders of the largest provider of humanitarian aid, The Holy Land Foundation, to 16 to 65 years in prison. The 2 guys sentenced to 65 years in prison are still in jail.

I always worry the US will do it again.

Isn't the PA mostly funded by Israel? Hamas and PA loathe each other.

They leave out the part where their end time scenario says the Jews will ally with the Anti-Christ, will nearly all be killed in a war with Gentile armies, and then the remaining Jews will all convert to Christianity.

A Tablet columnist recently wrote that suspecting a Jewish person of blackmailing is an anti-Semitic trope.

I actually do think there are people in the Israeli government who wake up in the morning and work very hard all day planning on how to move every single Palestinian, dead or alive, out of Gaza and the West Bank.

> that would end the instant they released the hostages and lay down their arms.

Numerous Israeli government officials have said publicly that the current war is not going to end until Palestinians no longer live in Gaza.

I have two close friends with extremely pro-Zionist views, Friend A and Friend B. The recent number of atrocities has been so atrocious that Friend A has reconsidered their views, they've started yelling at Friend B for their unrequited support of Israel's policies in all things.

I think it was the recent double tap missile strike of the hospital workers, journalist and first-responders that did it.

etc-hosts··on Cantor Analysts Blast RFK Jr., Warn of 'Dangerous Territory'
I'm surprised one wing of the Cabinet ( Cantor Fitzgerald and the Commerce secretary and the guys responsible for Trump and Melania coin and Tether "stablecoin" ) is allowed to publicly criticize a different part of the Cabinet ( RFK Jr ).

etc-hosts··on Graydon Carter's Wild Ride Through the Golden Age of Magazines
I don't think it's that wild. There are many Substack authors who makes millions every year.

Maybe not 16 million.

etc-hosts··on Facebook to stop targeting ads at UK woman after legal fight
I worked in computer infra stuff at Target at the time.

For one, they were incredibly paranoid about customer data privacy at the time, because of the famous incident of an unknown entity siphoning off data from some of their in store payment terminals for an unknown length of time. They instituted barriers and strict need to know basis access to everything touching customer history.

The amount of internal systems and departments that would have had to cooperate in order to start trying to sell a customer pregnancy related products because another arm of the company detected an individual customer was pregnant just boggles my mind, it could not and would happen at Target.

Facebooks AI policing of content is a failure. when I report totally unhinged blatant Nazi content, the response a few days later is always "we didn't find a violation, we realize this is disappointing."

etc-hosts··on ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia protests, lawyer says
The aggrieved parties are welcome to sue. But it won't get on the docket for over a year at least. but will there be any DoJ lawyers around to care then? Or support staff? Will anyone care? It's looking grim.
etc-hosts··on ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia protests, lawyer says
They showed up at first saying they were revoking his student visa, were surprised he didn't have a student visa and was here because he is a permanent resident, and then they made a bunch of stuff to justify hauling him away to imprison him in Louisiana.

They didn't "invoke" anything.

I usually mentally poop on anything written by Michael Weiss's media operation (theins.press is a Michael Weiss joint) but "placing Novichok in Alexai Navaly's underwear" is how Navaly was originally poisoned.
