Ah OK, so you had a level of dynamic behaviour in the form itself that warranted an applet/data component for the form. I can see how HTMX would not help with that.

I can't really understand what you're describing. You have form on left & results on right, but you're requesting the new form state & re-rendering the form HTML on each request? Why? My naive understanding is that yo

a hundred dollars a year for this?? What does the service even do with that money? I pay this for 20 years so you can share a google doc upon my demise? I must be missing something.

This section is hilariously hostile towards Palantir. "Wired wrote that some people think Palantir "maintains a giant, centralized database of information collected from all of its clients", which is untrue." 'some

"he hilariously tries to convince people that the best way to have democracy is to not have it at all." I'm sorry but I can't find where he said this. I'm finding it confusing and suspicious that the objections to P

So the objections to Palantir are political? I know nothing about Spanish politics so I assume that makes sense in the Spanish political context. This helps explain why I can't find a specific concrete concern, it sounds more vibes-b

OK so this is not specific to Palantir, but about entrusting sensitive Spanish data to any US based company. If so, that makes sense.

People in the comments here are praising the move, so presumably something is public. I've googled but I can't see some specific breach or documented misuse. Is the objection to Palantir strictly political?

"The decision stems directly from growing official concern over the potential misuse of classified information linked to national security." What are the specific concerns?

This is a great example of the prejudice (pre-judging) at play when it comes to Israel. One starts with the conclusion ("Israel/Jews are evil and controlling the government with money") then works backwards to build an argume

AIPAC is not foreign, this is another misconception/lie. AIPAC is an American lobby funded by Americans.

No, I'm saying people obsessed with AIPAC to the exclusion of all other lobbying groups are not motivated primarily by an objection to lobbying. I'm also saying the narrative that "AIPAC controls the gov't via lobbying&q

People think AIPAC is some all powerful unique lobbying group, in fact they're not even in the top 10 major lobbyists. Did you know SpaceX gave 5x as much as AIPAC in 2024? AIPAC was also outspent by Coinbase, by Ripple, and several ot

Operating an armed group out of civilian areas is not “one weird trick” that makes you immune from attacks. It means you are endangering the civilians around you by putting them in harms way. No war has ever been waged without civilian casu

Not clear how an LLM is going to prevent a bomb from being put in a custom-built pager, or why Anthropic should object to Israel waging war against a militia whose goal it is to destroy that country.

Ceasefires are not in place until they are in place. Before they are in place, war is still ongoing. Discussing a ceasefire does not mean there is a ceasefire currently.

Someone paid to have a fantasy of sex, and they got that fantasy. If they don't like it, they don't do it again, and this is true whether it's "the model" or someone else. If they do like it, what's the issue?

I also have stopped donating. I replied to a WM Foundation email explaining why and they said they don't have editorial control over wikipedia, i.e. their hands are tied. Well OK, but I'm not giving money to fund the promulgation
