On Sunday, Israel bombed a water distribution point in the central Gaza Strip, as dozens of civilians, mostly women and children, waited in line for water. Twelve people were killed, eight of them children. It was not the first time.

To be a better programmer, write little proofs in your head

This is a brief write-up of a trick I learned that helps me write code faster and more accurately. I say "trick", but it's really something I started to do without noticing as I moved further into my career.

I actually don't care about the Epstein List.

If it ever is released, we will have no way of knowing if it is authentic, fake, doctored, or the like.

Even if it is authentic, the likelihood of anyone important on the list getting arrested or in any kind of serious trouble is less than a million to one.

All that will happen is Talking Heads will get more things to talk about. It won't help deport illegals. It won't reduce gov't waste. It won't fix the justice system.

Probably. I figure it's an Israeli gov't operation. But it still doesn't matter. Absolutely nothing will happen regarding the Epstein Files, and at this point I think it's the distraction d'jour.

Closing down gov't agencies like the Dept of Education, deporting illegals - stuff like this matters a lot more than what some talking heads get to snark on about with regards to the Epstein List, including Tucker Carlson.

I just don't care.

The only solution

All Kikes must be sent to re-education centers

If they commit anti Goyim subversive activities again after the education is completed it must be concluded that they can not be cured as an individual amd they must be sent to life sentence in jails

In the case that it was found that a verdict of guilt of subversion was mistaken they can be released from jail. The life sentence can be reversed but execution can not be reversed in the event of a mistake

My dentist had 2 liberals in separate rooms talking about how awful Trump is. She pulled them both aside separately and said she won't tolerate it in public. There's another patient who telling her all about it, lol. She had to sit in her chair while the dr. explained some truths. I told her don't ever give me an appt when they're in the office. I won't be silent. 😎

Anyway, she's back to taking NAD. She gets energy & feels great.

Every for-profit corporation is like that Daria episode where her high school gets the soda vending machine, and the principal says it'll be a money-making path for the school, and starts everyone to start drinking it, and starts binging soda herself, and getting irritable with everyone and harassing the teachers and students for not drinking enough soda because now they're losing money on the soda machines they need a return on investment

Except instead of soda it's "AI"

It took 70+ years of anti-white culture being institutionalized before whites finally started saying enough was enough, jews can't even handle 1 year of non-institutionalized criticism and they are already losing their minds and lashing out at everyone. yet somehow we are the "fragile" ones lmao.

And from the WTAF dept, quite a bombshell from ProPublica today:

"Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel — leaving some of the nation’s most sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from its leading cyber adversary, a ProPublica investigation has found."

"The arrangement, which was critical to Microsoft winning the federal government’s cloud computing business a decade ago, relies on U.S. citizens with security clearances to oversee the work and serve as a barrier against espionage and sabotage."

"But these workers, known as “digital escorts,” often lack the technical expertise to police foreign engineers with far more advanced skills, ProPublica found. Some are former military personnel with little coding experience who are paid barely more than minimum wage for the work."

propublica.org/article/microso…


Microsoft “Digital Escorts” Could Expose Defense Dept. Data to Chinese Hackers

The Pentagon bans foreign citizens from accessing highly sensitive data, but Microsoft bypasses this by using engineers in China and elsewhere to remotely instruct American “escorts” who may lack expertise to identify malicious code.

I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.

Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.

But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.

The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.

Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊

In the event that the Trump administration's claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein remain unconvincing to MAGA supporters, here's a way out of the mess: Name a special prosecutor who will investigate the matter until shortly after the midterm elections. While the investigation is ongoing, the special prosecutor will say that he can't discuss anything due to the ongoing investigation. After the midterms, he can announce that he has come to the same conclusions as Bondi. Done.

Alex Jones & MTG said Trump is wrong sending weapons to Ukraine & there's no plan. Of course Trump planned.

I don't like it, but situations are fluid. Allies become enemies. Enemies become allies. The bottom line is about resources, money, food, alliances. Whoever has the most wins.

Putin & Zel are tyrants, but Zelensky offered rare minerals. Putin offered nothing. Trump plays the long-game. His Admin plays the short game. In the end, we come out on top. Same in Middle East & Arctic. 🤷‍♀️ Imo.

@mos_8502 it's probably not profitable to keep them in production forever. I mean, there's a limited pool of buyers, and the maker needs to buy a bunch at once to keep prices low. So, it's smart to make exactly as much as you can sell in some short period of time, say six months. Gotta minimize inventory management costs, etc.

I don't really blame them. And, I mean, nobody is relying on these things for their livelihood. Governments aren't asking for two suppliers and an SLA.

"Dear Mr. Biden,

to follow up on our last letter to you:

We do sincerely apologize, if we do not consider the giraffe, that you had beautifully cut out of National Geographic Magazine and glued onto a canvas, to be worth '30.000 US Dollars', as you had propositioned as a form of settlement of your outstanding legal fees.

Also, we generally use 'sales tax' on invoices, as required by law, not '10% for the big guy'.
We can't accommodate your requests to the contrary here, unfortunately.

The same applies to 'just tack it onto the federal debt', as you suggested.
We're unable to, since we are a law firm, not Congress.

To briefly address the rest of your, at times somewhat incoherent, letter, we'd also like to mention, that we do not take any 'snow', illicit 'hot pix' of 'really young' minors, nor any promises of having 'Budanov take out whoever you want' as valid payment options.

We'd like to, again, apologize profusely for any inconvenience caused, Mr. Biden!

Kant, Handle & Truth, LLC"
