  • The west will now have to make a judgment on whether to help Pezeshkian or maintain the blanket of sanctions due to the continued escalation of Iran’s nuclear programme, and its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

    Iran is enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels and maintains a stockpile large enough to build several nuclear weapons, but does not yet have the warheads or missile technology.

    It is also providing Russia with drones for use in Ukraine. Pezeshkian’s second foreign policy adviser alongside Zarif was a former ambassador to Moscow, Mehdi Sanei.

    He will only have an impact on sanctions if he takes meaningful actions to stop nuclear enrichment. That’s the main reason for the sanctions. The drone supply isn’t helping either.




  • This may shock and amaze you but…

    there is more than one user for your product. If you don’t know that, it sounds like you either haven’t done a user survey or you haven’t created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

    Creating a “perfect UI” without asking users what they want is not good UX. It’s just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

    Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want. That’s what developing without a user survey is like.

    The French did. George Washington’s main role was keeping the Continental Army together so the American Colonies were ungovernable. One third of the colonists were Loyalists, one third were Revolutionaries, and the final third didn’t care.

    Once Napoleon was distracted by Russia, the British came back in 1812 and burned the White House. But by then all the Loyalists had left and the British Army had no support. They essentially burned shit for 2 years and left. America didn’t really win either war but got independence kind of like the Taliban did.










  • Noah is a Babylonian “deluge myth”. Judaism didn’t even exist until 1,000 years later:

    It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis (‘extremely wise’) of Enlil’s plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

    The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism

    This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That’s a better explanation than “God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else.”
