@MarioNawfal Yikes, awful take. Get some sleep, you’re not thinking clearly
English

Here's a few important points before I go to sleep:
1. Iran won the war. The terms of the ceasefire they shared give them control of the Strait of Hormuz, charging $2M per ship, pocketing $100 Billion a year.
Those numbers are wild!
And on top of it, the ceasefire proposal includes the lifting of all sanctions
Remember, one could say Iran has been in a state of war for decades due to the crippling American sanctions, and now this is all coming to an end
2. Trump did the right thing pulling out, not listening to the lunatic war mongers around him, and not listening to anyone in the Israeli lobby that may have wanted the war the continue.
As I said earlier today, a good leader knows when to walk away
3. I am not surprised we have a deal, I've mentioned it all day, as Trump's posts made it obvious to me he was pressuring Iran for some final concessions before accepting his off-ramp
4. Trump will twist this into a win, and his diehard supporters will believe him. This is a GOOD thing, as Trump no longer needs to militarily try to get a 'win'.
As I've said earlier in the day, Trump can (and just did) create his own offramp.
5. The Middle East will never look the same. I expect the Gulf to gradually normalize relations again with Iran, which started after Israel's strike on Qatar.
Also the balance of power will drastically shift away from Israel, and this may have massive positive implications on Lebanon, Syria, and possibly even Palestine.
6. China is the BIGGEST winner, as Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz means China is indirectly controlling it
7. Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz is a generational strategic loss for the U.S., and a risk to the dollar dominance (Iran can chip away at the Petrodollar)
8. Hezbollah will come out stronger from all this, possibly more powerful than it has been in decades (unless the deal involves Iran disbanding their proxy network)
9. I'm exhausted and need to sleep. Below there's some more info on my stance over the past 24 hours, as well as how we broke the story of a ceasefire almost an hour before any media outlet and Trump's post.
Good night everyone!

@Daniel_Rapaport I thought this reaction video was a joke, waiting for him to laugh or something and then I realized he was serious. 🤮

@BowTiedBull Print money -> hyperinflation -> economic/dollar collapse -> no customers for wifibiz 🤷🏻♂️
Hope I’m wrong 😆

No solving this stuff, rates go to zero/print money that's about it
Longer the Iran stuff goes the more they have to print/cut anyway
Own assets, get into sales for a W-2, build wifi $
That's legitimately the only choice

According to a release from the Cuban Embassy in the U.S., 8 individuals allegedly involved in the shooting from earlier today have been identified. Amijail Sánchez González, Leordan Enrique Cruz Gómez, Conrado Galindo Sariol, José Manuel Rodríguez Castelló, Cristian Ernesto Acosta Guevara and Roberto Azcorra Consuegra have been identified after being questioned by Cuban authorities, with Michel Ortega Casanov being identified as one of the 4 killed in the exchange of fire.
Additionally, Cuban authorities have claimed that assault rifles, handguns, improvised explosive devices (Molotov cocktails), body armor, telescopic sights, and camouflage uniforms were all seized on the boat, and Cuban authorities are alleging that they planned to carry out "terrorist acts" inside of Cuba.
An additional individual, Cuban national Duniel Hernández Santos, was arrested inside of Cuba, and Cuban authorities claim that he confessed to being prepositioned from the U.S. to Cuba in order to facilitate the landing of the group.
More to come.

I saw Airplane when I was a senior in high school and thought it was the funniest movie I’d ever seen. My date, however, did not agree. In fact, she didn't laugh at all. Not even once. Not even when the Japanese soldier stabbed himself to death in the window seat, rather than listen to Ted Striker drone on and on about his broken heart. When the credits rolled, she looked at me like I was an alien.
“What’s the matter with you?” she asked. “How was any of that funny?”
In her defense, there were others in the theater who didn’t get it, several of whom left early. But there were many others like me who not only laughed themselves sick but stayed to watch it again. So, my date left me in the theater and spent the next two hours shopping in the mall, while I laughed even harder the second time around.
“Tell me Johnny, have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!”
"Pardon me Stewardess, I speak Jive."
And this gem, perhaps the greatest exchange in the history of cinema, between two very sophisticated ten-year old Caucasians dressed like adults.
Boy: Coffee?
Girl: Yes, please.
Boy: Cream?
Girl: No, I take it black....Like my men.
Later, in the food court, I bought my date a Coke and a slice of pizza, but it was too late. The damage had been done.
“I can’t believe you’d rather sit there alone and watch that stupid movie again instead of spending time with me. "Surely," she said, “you not that much of an idiot.”
“Don’t be too sure,” I said. “And don't call me Shirley.”
That was our last date, obviously, thanks to @TheDavidZucker, the man who wrote and directed this ridiculously silly film along with Jim Abrams and Jerry Zucker. Since its release, Airplane! is now considered one of the greatest comedy films ever made, inspiring numerous references, homages, and further parodies in popular culture. In fact, in 2010, Airplane! was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," proving once and for all that my date had no sense of humor.
What an honor to meet interview David Zucker, 46 years later. And what a relief to learn that he can still make me laugh...

@FischerKing64 It’s gonna be dumb and produce more questions than answers 🥱

@mattshumer_ Probably shouldn’t have read this right before bed. Thanks for the sleepless night.
It appears the only thing that could slow it down would be protectionist laws against replacing people’s jobs with ai. What do you think?

Wasn't expecting this to go so viral...
If only this was last week with @nikitabier's X article contest :)
But seriously, I'm glad that my message has been received.
It's so, so important for the people in your lives that are outside of tech to understand what's happening, because this is going to affect them, and soon.

SECRET Antarctica - No Starlink or internet allowed... but why?
Because Antarctica will be at the equator by 2050.
Because there are dozens of bases down there made for survival.
Because you might find out, see the network, interfere, hack... etc.

A streamer started a livestream from Antarctica and immediately had his equipment confiscated and was banned from internet access for a week.
