So many CVEs and other vulnerabilities, that this post gets zero traction on HN?

Not OC, but don’t be daft.

How modern Israel came to be upon “God promised land”?

That’s the main reason and I do not believe in any possibility of any peace in the region, whatever bullshit politicians would say.

Tell me why anyone in the region shouldn’t be pissed of at Israel (and to their piggy banks in the West)?

Where I am from this sort of dark pattern is used by most service companies at this point. There’s some regulation, though too little.

Most gyms, ISPs, mobile carriers, any sort of services with continuous subscription have this scheme:

- they sell you subscription with some ridiculous (and perpetual) discount (often with “first three months - it’s free”);

- there’s minimum commitment clauses/fines (so you won’t leave too early);

- there’s clause to “pay up all given discounts on canceling the contract”;

- they “balance” two rules above in such a way that it is never “good time” to leave.

AFAIK, currently MBP with M5 Pro starts with 24GB and 1TB SSD at $2499.

Wonder if this seals the fate that M6 Pros will be at absolute minimum $100 more expensive?

I am probably looking waaaay too much into this, but I was told 5+ years ago that streaming platforms will develop AI to plugin "natural" product placement for each user.

For example, ad algorithm will draw product placement with specific products that it thinks you're the target. Protagonist will drink pepsi/coke/juice, will use linux/mac, will drive MB/BMW/Ford - depending on what ad algorithm thinks you'd like to buy.

Somehow I feel like this "A/B testing" feature is actually a cornerstone by YouTube for AI driven media future, for exactly this (dystopian) reason.

Early cars were called horseless carriages for a reason.

Car bodies were carriages for few first decades of car history. So if you can fix and maintain horse carriage - you can maintain car carriage.

Engines were simple too and designed to be maintained in a field environment with few tools. So it’s reasonable that this skill was learned, especially by mechanically inclined people.
