@zlatov_cristina You're definitely going to ace this project 🦾

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

@zlatov_cristina "it depends" 😅

Depends on your goals, and if & how learning C++ helps you achieve them

Last week I sent out 5 cold emails from my personal email account... (You can guess the results)

Today, I sent 20 more from my newly purchased private email (🎉), would be awesome to get some replies (no high hopes)

The process of sending emails one by one was super tedious...

[Eliran @_eltur]

this is going better than I expected 🤯

[Eliran @_eltur]

while I was waiting for replies on cold emails for simple RSVP, I decided it was time to renew my Python project starter kit and launch it on Gumroad.

The kit includes workflows for linting, tests, static analysis, automatic version bumping, and automatic PyPI distribution

I used it myself for different projects, and continuously improved it over time.

The first 10 people, can grab it for 0.99$

If you are kind enough to leave some feedback that would be awesome

Do you do SEO on your own? or hire someone to do it?

On the one hand, if I do it myself, I learn a lot and I can replicate it.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem exciting/interesting for me to learn, and I could save myself a lot of time by not doing it...

Judging from my feed, you might get the wrong idea that the only thing I do is build in public, but when I don't, I usually play video games...

Trying to level up my landing page, I added some product screenshots.

I welcome your harsh feedback

@nickmatthewsy Stripe isn't supported in my country :/

[Eliran @_eltur]

Does anyone accept payments w/PayPal and not Stripe? how's the experience?

trying to integrate a PayPal checkout button, but it feels their docs are a bit of a mess...

simple rsvp stats aren't picking up... out of 200 clicks I got 0 signups.

in what social platforms engaged couples and wedding planners hang out?

any fellow indie hackers getting married soon and want a free rsvp service?

If I get married in 4 months and I use my own product, is it a social proof I can list? 😂

@DmytroKrasun I am also on the lookout for an SMS API, currently giving a try to Vonage(previously Nexmo)
Seems pretty good so far
