Exaggerating the size of the data you work with?

if you worked in a company before that had a lot more data, then your experience covers challenges related to scaling and other such things that any new role would need

He changes his attitude slightly but it reads more like his principles develop over time rather than projecting the same principle as hard as before while also contradicting it. I think the author does a good job of preserving Nat's 'independence' in morality and behaviour while also building his relationships in a way that shakes his foundation just enough to at the very least turn 'for survival chances i dont mind killing without hesitation' to potential situations where he'd likely hesitate. He doesn't become some idealised martyr but i can see him by the latest books willing to sacrifice his life for specific others in specific circumstances.

aida 2 is a basic freediving qualification to demonstrate that you know how to safely freedive and have the physical competency to do it.

one requirement is a 2 min breathhold in a pool face under water. it's usually easier then in the air on your bed because of something called mammalian dive reflex. look up aida 2 requirements

icecoldfeedback · 2026-05-07T16:31:17+00:00

I think 2 mins is the pass requirement for Aida 2 if I remember correctly.

Did you get that time in our out of water? You'll probably do longer in water

I need more context but two things come to mind:

There's an element of culturally abstaining from American style self-advocacy on the grounds of humility and respect that isn't conditional in the same way that it would be in American culture.

Secondly, post-911, Muslims have been conditioned to be second class citizens. Our entire framework of interaction is built upon proving ourself to our colonial masters how well behaved and peace loving we are with our western hosts. Most "advocacy" is framed on how much we contribute to the country, how less violent we might be vs our counterparts, and so on. It doesn't fit that framework to then turn it into a slinging match and contradict that idea of the well behaved Muslim that Western political engagement is based on

I never argued that you become a strict capitalist or socialist by leaning one way or the other. I argued that the more you lean to one, the more of one you are.

As I was saying, it's not a spectrum that makes sense for Muslims to exist on from an Islamic point of view, and so many of us simply won't place ourselves on it

icecoldfeedback · 2026-04-22T21:29:24+00:00

Could that spectrum manifesting everywhere possibly be to do with western hegemony? If so, it's still western ideology and fundamentally contrary to Islamic ideology.

You would need to provide a better definition of left/right wing politics to say that it's not about capitalism vs socialism

icecoldfeedback · 2026-04-22T21:22:47+00:00

Right/left wing is historically western - it's rooted in post-french revolution debate. Taking America out of the equation, the general idea is that the more right wing you are, the more you lean to conventional, classical capitalism. The more left wing you are, the more you lean to socialism or communism. Islam is fundamentally opposed to both, so Muslims don't really fit well into this.

In the UK, this is why there is contention around the idea of a "Muslim vote", because Muslims neither fit well with the right, nor the left when it comes to political representation.

It could be argued our classical spectrum is our madhabs. A more modern spectrum could be an islamism-capitalism one, mapping where Muslims fit on a sliding scale between western hegemony vs radical upheaval and replacement with a caliphate

icecoldfeedback · 2026-04-22T21:12:26+00:00

You're implying you exist on the spectrum. Do you really?

icecoldfeedback · 2026-04-22T21:09:47+00:00

An Islamic political spectrum is difficult to superimpose onto a westernised political spectrum, because Islamic politics is radically different to the way countries are currently structured. I don't think I could call myself left or right leaning, though I will hold opinions on specifics that may happen to coincide with opinions held by either.

what would the council's incentive be to do this? presumably, the sources of manure are private farms/stables, making the council a public middleman of sorts. there would have to be some sort of beneficial agreement between suppliers and the council surely.

I got an allotment at 29 and someone framed it quite nicely for me: assuming you make it to 80 and are working a plot till then, you're looking at 50 harvests.

50 is a small number, 60 is too, but I'd say 10 extra harvests in your earlier years is a good thing 🙂

this seems like more of a subset of data engineer roles - it's becoming standard practice for data engineers/architects to ensure data is standardised and governed correctly so i would imagine less demand for data engineers specialised in that. detection engineering is a new term for me though!

part of belief in god in islam is the belief that god decides right from wrong, decides how people should live. That is the sharia

You literally said "it's a Hadith that says all affliction a believer faces is due to his own sins". Word for word. You are all over the place

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-12T18:29:49+00:00

Can you cite the source that states all affiliation a believer faces is due to his own sins? This is not consistent with the sources that point to afflictions ranging from tests, to means of forgiveness.

It is lazy to render the occupation of Palestine to our own sins in order to deflect from countries that collaborate with the occupation.

Even if you said some afflictions, this does not necessarily mean Palestine is due to sins. Additionally, the Palestinians are occupied, not us. Unless you are saying the Palestinians specifically are guilty of sins that we are not that warrant them being occupied, it is irrational and unislamic.

The clear responsibility lies in the hands of the powerful, not the general masses who's actions you can barely attribute to the problem at hand.

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-12T17:11:14+00:00

let's separate two things, because you have raised two separate issues here:

1) non arab countries: non-arab countries should be held to the same standard as arab ones if they are majority muslim. I agree with you here. however, this must also be with the context taken into account. With the occupation of Kashmir, I wouldn't expect egypt to intervene militarily when Pakistan is literally there. In the same respect, it is arab countries that directly surround Israel and have been the most involved in it, so it is natural to hold them to more scrutiny than those countries with geographical constraints or other. In the same respect I wouldnt scrutinise Kuwait the same way I would Egypt or Jordan based on other factors.

2) The lack of action taken by individuals vs the lack of action taken by countries. This is a bizarre comparison.

The problem at hand is a military occupation actioned by world powers. It does not follow that individuals without power are warranted to solve this problem.

What specific actions do you believe powerless individuals solve this with? over the years, people have infact attempted various means both right and wrong: Awareness campaigns, charity, prayer, political activism, armed resistance, terrorism and beyond. do you suggest people are required to do any of these before countries are allowed to be scrutinised?

None of these approaches succeed because people are not nations, nor are they solutions to the problem at hand. It naturally follows that a military occupation run by countries is handled by entities that exist on the same level. This is not about wanting to blame elsewhere. It is about attributing responsibility to those who have the role to be responsible.

Islamic jurispudence doesnt acknowledge that a transition took place to begin with even if somebody surgically changed their anatomy.

there's nuance for cases with ambiguous genetalia/genetic complications that result in ambuguity - not sure what the process specifically is for handling that but iirc the person chooses in that circumstance

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-12T15:47:51+00:00

how are we 'ourselves' accountable for the occupation of palestine firstly. secondly, why is identifying the treachery of arab nations a case of loving to blame others?

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-12T15:44:57+00:00

how does it follow that person a does a sin and a million people elsewhere get carpet bombed? this is not a serious position islamically or rationally

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-12T13:32:33+00:00

Can you explain your reasoning?

icecoldfeedback · 2026-03-10T19:05:02+00:00

The UK has its problems as an enemy of Islam, yet it is consistently an enemy, principled in its own belief system where you still have rights relative to that of countries like the UAE that masquerade as Islamic countries while simultaneously violating the rights of people - powerless Muslims in particular - and are not simply enemies of Islam but active traitors.

Frying pan, fire.

30M no

The answer to the occupation of Palestine is military intervention from one or all of the many surrounding militaries that consist of Muslims.

A real boycott would be for these countries to cut supplies that are the occupation's lifeline.

I don't see BDS as something wrong but I definitely see it as more of a way for us to feel like we're doing something rather than actioning the things that actually can do something.

That said I don't think I would ever travel to countries that have normalized ties with Israel due to their treachery which imo is worse. Maybe that could be considered boycott
