A sufficiently complete spec is indistinguishable from source code.

Do you ever think what would happen to them in the West if they weren't vocal opponents of the Iranian state?

No, I would absolutely not want 100s of guys blindly crawling over the dirt, I would want someone to pick up my satellite phone calls and send a couple helicopters.

I never claimed there was no CSAR operation, and you still can't explain why you need 100+ spec ops guys in two big landing planes for this particular operation.

The US military had information assymmetry and aerial dominance. They established contact with the missing WSO through a magical CIA technology known as a "satellite phone". They secured the area with aerial surveillance and strikes, then sent in a couple helicopters to do the extraction. Nowhere does this require 100s of operators on the ground, risking their lives and escalating to a ground war. This isn't the 1960s in Vietnam.

What do you make of Netanyahu claiming that Iran was weeks from a nuclear bomb, 20-30 years ago?

What do you make of US/Israel assassinating the supreme leader that had declared a fatwa against nuclear weapons?

> This war was unavoidable btw

Wars of choice, thousands of miles away from the nearest US city, are extremely avoidable, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

> This is fake Iranian propaganda. It makes no logical sense. The force sent to extract the F15 officer (approx 2 C130s of people) is far to small to retrieve tons of nuclear material stored at Isfahan.

And how does it make any logical sense to send 100+ spec ops guys in two big planes to rescue one (1) guy in a remote mountainous location? That's begging for >1 casualties and PoWs in situation which would otherwise be capped at 1. Mickey mouse nonsense.

It's far more logical that there was a different operation planned, one that would actually require hundreds of special ops guys, like securing a strategic site. And just because two planes were "stuck in the mud" doesn't mean there weren't more involved or planned to be.

This is black propaganda, not a counterargument.

At most there were a couple thousand casualties from violent riots that involved armed gangs (or sleeper cells if you want to go that route).

There were not "60,000" peaceful protestors executed by the government, as Trump claimed yesterday without evidence. That is murderous propaganda, blood libel intended to deflect from the actual mass murder of civilians by American forces e.g. the Minab school.

It was a narrative specifically designed to induce comments like yours.

Please share some of these names and in which circles they are respected. Reza Pahlavi types?

Again, you can answer your own question by reading the tiny thread, instead of responding with even more gish-gallop. Or is "read primary thread for context" not part of your AI tool set, Mr. New Single-Purpose Account That Only Posts Pro-Israel Propaganda On HackerNews In Violation of its TOU?

Why would an organization allegedly dedicated to uncovering "human rights" abuses have an empty contact page? Where are people supposed to report? Oh right, because they get all their "reports" from the US/Israeli government.

Your blind trust of random blogs by anonymous organizations is part of the problem, not the solution.

Suppose the age verification checks stopped. Where exactly are these kids supposed to find "random helpful strangers" on the Internet that isn't also a major vector for predation or nonsensical AI spam?

The open friendly ~safe Internet died long ago.

Nope, and you should read the rest of the thread before replying with gish-gallop.

It is certain that armed gangs were activated and many people (up to a couple thousand) were killed in chaotic riots. There's video evidence of armed gangs in the streets.

The idea that tens of thousands of peaceful protestors were killed solely by the government, the same government that was decapitated just weeks later by a foreign war of aggression, and yet not a hint of mass uprising afterwards? Utterly preposterous, and I would be embarrassed to even entertain that narrative.

It's so obviously part of a cynical propaganda campaign to justify the actual unilateral mass murder of civilians by the Trump and Netanyahu regimes.

Unregulated/decentralized SSH key usage (i.e. allowing ssh-copy-id) is a dream for hackers to move laterally through a network. That's why many orgs disable it, and otherwise haven't invested resources in getting a proper centralized CA/authz server set up.

The "50,000 murdered protesters" is blatant atrocity propaganda to launder the actual mass murder of civilians and failed illegal regime change war by the United States and Israel. Nothing more. It is a lie told with the blackest of intentions.

"Who cares if we murdered 170 schools girls? The evil regime murdered 50 gorillian civilians so it's okay when we do it!"

Not sure how anyone can believe this while, as another commenter points out, the US is proudly and unilaterally murdering speedboat users in the Caribbean without any due process.

Certs may still be the right approach, but OpenSSH also supports an AuthorizedKeysCommand which could be a secure HTTPS request to a central server to pull down a dynamically generated authorized_keys file content for the particular user and host.

If your endpoints can securely and reliably reach a central server, this gives you maximum control (your authorized_keys HTTPS server can have any custom business logic you want) without having to deal with certs/CAs.

There's also differences between fame, infamy, popularity and elite social status, which is probably not all that clear to newly-minted billionaires that are already lacking in the social skills department.

He was, for a time, until others made even better products. It would've been terrible if he had exclusive IP over the idea of "digital spreadsheet".

Budget planning, presumably. How much you are going to spend and on what, and what you need to charge for your products to break even or meet a profit goal.

Some flavor of coup is not out of the question given our "democracy" is being run and represented (diplomatically) by never-elected cronies like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. The people's Congress and even the State Department are potemkins. In a real sense, a coup already happened.

"Chat, generate me a table of bad Golang making practices"

Yes, QA and test engineers tend to have a better ability to specify the correct behavior of a system than anyone else. It's literally their job.

This is a big asset in the current paradigm where a LLM agent can effectively implement behavior only when given a robust test suite to iterate against.

We do. Grocery stores (commissaries) and residential units as well.

This is exactly why the Saudi leadership have been quick to debunk Western propaganda about the Saudi's itching to join the war, despite Iran's strikes on GCC territory. The domestic blowback in the GCC states would be fatal to the political system.

The GCC elites there are living well, with escape plans, but the people know they are viewed as subhuman "arabs" by the Israelis, and are in line for the Gaza Method (which is currently being deployed in the West Bank and Lebanon).

> Return them to stone age until the leadership becomes reasonable.

Worth reflecting on this sentence. What is "reasonable" supposed to entail here?

ETA: "Become secular" is a wild demand from theocratic regime that wants to "Kill Amalek and Build the Third Temple".

Iran is not flattening Emirati hospitals, like Israel would be doing in their shoes.

Iran is targeting direct US/Israeli interests, which includes military facilities, military personnel, and energy facilities with substantial US/Israeli partnerships. That latter part is particularly key here, and what pro-Israeli propaganda is anxious to suppress.

> plus, if you showed your cards ("decades-old deterrence threats"), you're out of options

Yes, it is a desperation move after undeterred US-Israeli terrorism and brazen violations of international law. But it's also working.

It is a ring of incompetent yes men, but behind those yes men is a nefarious foreign influence operation. These guys didn't arrive at their bad decisions by accident.
