I just hope the next feature is FaceID on the Mac.

I was a little upset I had to scroll through and endless series of "OpenAI" apps, but then I realized they locked the app to the US Appstore only. Pity

Im always happy when I bump into articles like this one.

In general I think it's ultimately irresponsible to centralize ideation on one stakeholder.

Wrote a piece with a similar opinion here: https://jonathankorn.substack.com/p/your-teams-relationship-...

You aren't equal (as in indistinguishably, truly equal) without both.

If you live in the country the law is the same for everyone. No? Don't know what the obligations are. I'm not the "you" , clearly you're super knowledgable, go for it.

But a nice attempt to frame the conversation. [Do they send you on courses?] Errr thanks?

Humanity has tried the whole "jews living under arab rule" before and it sucked. You can bash the israelis all you want but they're doing a much better job than anything a palestinian/arab rule would do to jews.

I did! Although it was pertaining to "relatiation" i'm happy to offer my two cents on this as well.

Almost that entire sentence exists today in israel. Rights are the same for all israeli citizens. Israeli muslims and israeli jews have the same rights inside the state of israel. Muslims are the third largest political party (and are part of the current coalition), they are supreme court judges (heck, a muslim judge sentenced the jewish president to prison).

On Aliyah: Im not too familiar with how different it is to Aliyah as a jew then as a muslim, but it's more likely to be easier as jew. The general idea is that it's a jewish state. Most people here will be opposed to a jewish state, that's fine. Humanity has an awful track record with the jews, might be best to finally let them be autonomous.

"Rather than just a first world playground for one faction." Not entirely sure what this means.

You did ask.

Yep :) and glad you did. Personally I think a two state solution is more viable. What I don't think is constructive is assuming that the entire onus is on one side. Takes two to tango, right? WestBank palestinians have had two leaders. Ever. Arafat was adamant about establishing power, while Abbas is eager to keep it. That's why he's completing his 14th year in his 4 year mandate. He keeps cancelling elections because if Hamas wins (like they did in Gaza) he will at best be exiled. Just recently he had an opposition leader assassinated.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/palestinian...

Fatah is hell bent in keeping the status quo.

Hamas is hell bent in destroying Israel. It's in their charter. They're way more extreme than Fatah.

Plenty of mosques in Israel, 2 million muslims there living peacefully. Can't say the same about palestinian territories where jews and synagogues are not allowedd.

It seems you'd just like Israel to take all the responsibility for the conflict, cease to exist and roll over. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Best example here is the grand mufti of jerusalem. https://time.com/4084301/hitler-grand-mufi-1941/

"Maybe stop stealing land and attacking worshippers on the Temple Mount?" You know what the "temple" in temple mount is right? the dome is literally built on top of the rubble of two jewish temples. Jews can only go there on specific days+hours, aren't allowed to even pray. For extra effect: it's also allegedly where jesus used to go pray. Some people might argue that israelites are the ones who got their land stolen.

That place is over the top contentious. Of course I agree that attacking worshippers is wrong. No one should be cool about that. Nonetheless, worth checking the "attacking worshippers".

"Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan speak for themselves" Do they though? Sheik Jarrah is a private citizen dispute. Literally two groups of citizens deliberating on who owns what.

"Rockets don't just come out of nowhere for a recreational activity."" Yeah they do. From here it looks like you're defending sending thousands of rockets (unguided) pointed at civilians. Hamas has nothing to do with Sheik Jarrah. Hamas only wants to create more conflict so that it can justify it's existence. Have you read their manifesto? It doesn't want peace, it want's the destruction of israel. Doesn't seem very negotiable.

The entire movement is predicated on struggle and conflict. Not peace and harmony.

Unfortunately for Hamas, the rocket launches are a recreational activity.

wait what's a Hamas teacher or a Hamas nurse? Look at Al-Shifa hospital. Built by the Israelis, today a hospital, rocket launch site, bunker and ammunitions cache all in one.

IDF's responsibility is to keep Israeli citizens safe(jews, muslims and christians). If someone across the border is using firing thousands of rockets at civilians then the IDF is going to step in.

Unfortunately the retaliation which will lead to the fewest civilian deaths will be bombing the launch site ( a civilian building).

What's the alternative? Mount a massive land invasion into a booby trapped hell hole?

Oh but AP did criticise at first...but the editor did admit there was a Hamas presence in the building https://www.businessinsider.com/former-associated-press-edit...

Going back to the AlJazeera aspect: Qatar funds Hamas (one source cites 400m USD in 2014) AND provides the "right media coverage" through AlJazeera.

From where I'm standing it doesn't look like there is one sided propaganda

Washington Post better? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/07/3...

They've been doing it for years. The odd ones are the one's who aren't reporting it.

it's all good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cool to critisize anything and anyone. It just comes off as a very different vibe when compared to other HN discussions.

Everyone here is so smart and inquisitive, but when the issue is middle east the gang seems to take a shallow, dogmatic take on something they absolutely do not understand. For so many independent thinkers there's a lot of knee jerk group think

"Al Jazeera is a Qatari government-funded international Arabic news channel based in Doha"

I don't think they've ever produced anything remotely truthful about the region. ever.

That's why it's curious

I don't know what's going on. This was supposed to be about "the idf doing humanitarian work in florida and helping with the rescue"

seconds later the scope has become "everything israel does is wrong, look at gaza, something something apartheid"

I don't know as much about them, sorry. Quick Google search showed that there has been some claims of selection bias and "not telling the full story". My take is that they're doing a disservice to both sides.

Don't they do everything to avoid hitting civilians? My guess is that they do more to protect the average palestinian than meets the eye....definitely more than Hamas or Fatah

Also, I'd take HRW with a grain of salt when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even their founder has expressed concern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Watc....

Might be interesting: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/palestinians-accuse-hamas-...

Think of judaism as ethnicity. You can be an atheist jew and be granted Israeli citizenship. Israel is the historic homeland of the jewish culture/people.

I'd liken it to something like Country X giving special immigration privileges if you have ancestry from country X.

They don't deny citizenship if you're palestinian, granted it's as difficult if you were trying to get citizenship coming from any other country

...and Iran routinely attacks Israel. Most recent attacks have targeted Israel's water supply, a civilian ship, funding Hezbollah to fire rockets on their behalf, training guerillas in Syria and Lebanon...

Gone are the days where threatening to wipe jews off the planet was considered rhetoric. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I've had that question mulling around in my head for a few years.

Like others have mentioned, of course there's an element of luck. It helps to have a product that fits the zeitgeist.

But in my experience, the remaining 99% is all working smart and understand what and the "why" of the problem at hand.

The Google Ads technique is good, but only if you're working on a product with a known problem. For anything new... it probably won't be much help on it's own. It's useful though if you use to see how people try to solve known problems.

Best resources hands down IMO for understanding 0 to PMF are: The Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen. Gives a good view on how products fit with the market. If the problem space is wobbly, the solution space will suck. The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick (my favourite). Excellent book on user interviews. It's so good that I made a primer out of it: https://gum.co/DeSxL The PMF Engine by the founder of Superhuman: https://firstround.com/review/how-superhuman-built-an-engine... It's a more quantifiable way of approaching it.

The comment section is ripe with "over engineering"suggestions.

If you're looking to build an online store so you can get a deeper understanding of Python: go ahead.

If you're actually looking for the most efficient way of putting up something online and start selling, you're better of hitting WooCommerce, shopify, etsy or looking at other solutions on ProductHunt.

Best :)

Anyone know where I can find the Slideshare?

meant something closer to: Apps that will help me in being an even better parent. Maybe something that my toddler can play with that will help develop certain areas of the brain.

Not delegating parenting to the app hehehe

This. Machine learning and datascience are only as good as the quality of the data fed into the machine.

Although the brazilian federal police has been working nonstop, we'd be hardpressed to expect a .csv journaling political shenanigans.

This project has my support nonetheless :)

The big short, Facebook edition.

Entertaining read.

Hi Suhail! I love MixPanel and think you guys really know how to time your new features. I'd love it if MixPanel could offer prices adjusted to foreign currency (similar to Steam?) I live in Brazil and the recent devaluation of the BRL to the USD has made MixPanel prohibitively expensive.

This is a great project idea! Cloning existing websites feels way more motivating than just typing away on interactive terminals. Looking forward to more projects.

Great idea. Could be a little more intuitive. I admit I struggled at times to figure what to do next. Really liked everything else. Parabens!

hahaha no worries. Duly noted

Yep! It connects to the user's facebook account so it is, like you said, free for anyone.

thank you, that was helpful of you

Where is Twitter with Vine Direct?
