1. 4:144 This verse advises Muslims to prioritize loyalty within the community during a time of external threats. It is not a general prohibition but a caution in the context of potential betrayal.

2. 77:16 This refers to historical examples of past communities who faced consequences for rejecting divine guidance. It is a reminder of accountability, not a universal statement against non-believers.

3. 8:15 This verse gives instructions for battle, emphasizing courage and discipline during wartime. It applies to specific combat situations, not everyday relations with non-believers.

4. 5:41 This verse addresses the Prophet’s grief over those who rejected faith and distorted divine teachings. It critiques dishonesty and insincerity, not all members of specific groups.

5. 3:141 This verse speaks about trials that distinguish true believers and cleanse the community of wrongdoing. It emphasizes spiritual growth, not indiscriminate judgment of disbelievers.

You seem to be making an accusation that Muslims widely practice "taqiyya" to deceive others. This is a baseless and Islamophobic trope. In mainstream Islam, lying is unequivocally condemned and considered an act of hypocrisy. While there is a narrow and rare historical exception permitting concealment of faith to protect one’s life under extreme duress, most Muslims have never encountered or practiced this concept. Ironically, those spreading this accusation often seem to know more about it than the Muslim communities they malign.

I loved Obsidian to death, but felt a bit of friction. As nice as it was, I wasn't getting sucked in and resorted to writing my own bespoke bash program for organized note-taking.

Enter Logseq, and after a 20 minute learning curve, ideas just fly off of my fingertips. I reach for it daily. Can't recommend Logseq enough.

I definitely also like logseq better, but find that it doesn't sync well between desktop and iOS app. Have you found good solution for this?
danial commented on Why am I no longer qualified to be a Brex customer?   brex.com/support/why-am-i... · Posted by u/tvjames

Brex founder here.

We've made the difficult decision to no longer offer services to the small business market.

Back in April we launched Empower, and we decided to put the full weight of Brex towards building the best global payments platform for tech startups and larger companies. With that, we realized we couldn't do a great job serving the small business community at the same time. This has been an incredibly difficult decision for me and the team, but we believe small businesses deserve a partner that is entirely focused on them.

We know how changes in financial services can be disruptive – especially in a moment like now. We're doing all we can, and working with other financial service providers to make this transition as smooth as possible.

I was in the middle of transitioning my existing account to Brex. I have many things to do and so this lower on my priority list. I'm glad I was only in the beginning of the transition and that I hadn't moved over completely. While I wasted a few hours of my time, nothing near what I would have wasted if you had pulled this on me later.

Good riddance. I dodged a bullet.

I was expecting to see a video above the fold, made with wowto.ai, about what wowto.ai is.

I eventually found samples at the bottom of the page that immediately helped explain what this does. I agree that they should be above the fold.

If you don't have a budget, then that's what you should establish first. If you can't get a handle on your budget, then no set of tools and techniques is going to save you.
danial · 4 years ago
The point is that the budget changes all the time for anything other than a simple application stack. If you're constantly experimenting and building new applications, you basically need to quickly glance at your daily usage to make sure you won't get a surprise in 30 days.

>Furthermore, AWS billing is uncapped, which has significant potential for trouble.

Two words: billing alarms. If you have stuff on AWS, and you don't have billing alarms for actual and predicted costs, you have nobody to blame but yourself for extra charges.

EDIT>> I see they address billing alarms but claim that they only fire after you've lost the money. This is simply not true with the predictive alarms. I get the sense that this author is not using AWS correctly in general.

danial · 4 years ago
Billing alarms only work if you have static usage. I had to constantly adjust their alarms and eventually gave up.
