Kagi is nice, I guess. I paid for 3 months, and it suffers from the same fate as all other search engines besides Google: bad search results for anything but English (and maybe Spanish?). Anyway, my language, Catalan, is an afterthought -searching in it will display results in other languages, specially Spanish, which is _very_ bad.
Hopefully one day we can have a non-Google search engine that does i18n searches right.
I was mainly devils'-advocating, up until this guy.
With this guy, I can find no fault. If you watch his 60 Minutes interview, it seems heartfelt and authentic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grj328-hlhA Plus, if he was born Palestinian and is now a Buddhist, that means that he willingly chose to endure the risk of getting killed as an apostate of Islam.
Who is burning babies alive and gangraping corpses? We know that israel has been killing children for a long time now, and they have been recorded raping prisoners.
Hamas, who the gentleman being returned to his home country gave material support to, including distributing their produced materials at Columbia.
I am happy to send you the footage from October 7th if you'd like to see it. I recommend you keep a trash can nearby. It is the most horrific footage I have seen and beats out even the massacre at Bucha.
Yes please send them to me. Not only has the story of the "40 beheaded babies" been declared a hoax, there is zero proof of rape, let alone gang raping of corpses, let alone burning babies alive. This is the first I've heard of what you are claiming, and I seriously wondering where you are getting your news from.
What we do see is horrific footage day in and day out for the past 75+ years at the hands of israel, from brutal murdering, to starvation, to burning people alive, to sexual crimes, and countless war crimes. It is also confirmed that they employed the hannibal directive.
> "irrefutable record of the terrorists' crimes of homicide, rape, kidnapping and torture. As the report notes, this was "the largest single massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust".
> The Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten, found after a mission to Israel in January to February 2024 reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred at several locations, including in the form of rape and gang rape
> The team also found a pattern of victims - mostly women - found fully or partially naked, bound and shot across multiple locations which “may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence”.
And several of the hostages (eg Aviva Siegal) reported being sexually assaulted including gang rape.
I already responded from the official UN report. There is zero evidence of rape, let alone gang rape, let alone gang rape of corpses (wut?): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43605561
That's not what the UN report says. The UN report says that at the time they did not have forensic evidence of rapes on Oct 7th specifically.
They do not deny the videos, eyewitnesses or anything else.
Given that at least the woman who was gang raped on film after having her achilles tendon cut was then taken as a hostage, it'd be really hard to collect a rape kit on her.
Multiple well respected groups have said you are wrong. Everyone has said that rape has happened, that totally innocent civilians were massacred (set on fire, shot, grenaded). Hostages were killed including through torture (including yanking off fingers) and sexually abused.
Your position is contrary to all available evidence. You are not defending truth, you are hiding from it.
That is literally taken from the UN report. There are no videos of rape, and there are articles showing that no one came forth for eye witnesses. The fact of the matter is that all of "evidence" was strictly by the israeli side, with no third party confirmation. Not only that, they were exposed many times for providing doctored "evidence".
Where is this woman who was gang raped? Please show the evidence? The israelis employed the hannibal directive on their own people.
I would compare win32 API to vanilla JS. Whatever framework you might want to use on top of win32 is what's comparable to the criticized web tech in the article.
That's why I never ended up using ddg. On the other hand I find that kagi is decent enough when I search in French, not as good as English but still better than google.
this. I tried so many times to run away from google but I have to come back every time because all search engines are extremely anglo-centric (or maybe rather US centric) and really don't care about other localizations.
Houses should not be an investment, but only used for what they are: a place to live. That's directly opposed to why someone not local would buy them.
This fall short, it should be straight up forbidden, also for EU residents (who are a big issue as well, looking at you German and French people that buy houses, leave them empty all year but 1 month and/or don't even learn the language and traditions of that place)
I think EU is ok as many people actually live somewhere else thanks to EU laws.
What should get hard taxed is owning multiple homes. There are people with 100s flats not even under a company but an individual.
And companies that do own homes as business should be stevards of properties with max profit margins - it can be good business but not unhinged money printer it is in becoming everywhere.
