"In the years preceding the war, Palestine’s tech ecosystem had come under the spotlight of various multinational tech majors, including Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft. Many Gazans saw an opportunity to earn a dignified income and overcome the challenges posed by Israel’s blockade of the enclave since 2007, and the number of Palestinians engaged in tech-related professions grew significantly. “There was exponential growth because some of the universities started teaching AI technology, and tech became the most desirable subject that guaranteed quick bucks,” said Rabi. Most of those who come to Taqat’s coworking sites work in industries ranging from coding and programming to animation and graphic design for clients based primarily in Western countries and the Gulf, Rabi said."

Day nine: The Ancient City An incredible portrait of life in ancient times, centered around how early religion grew into early civic life. If you think about the Roman Empire every day and you haven’t read this yet, you should treat yourself. It’s so juicy and homey compared to the sanitized and streamlined histories of wars and large scale politics. I keep multiple copies in my house to give away so that I don’t end up losing my personal copy. The most vivid and human look at life in classical Greece and Rome. Pound for pound my favorite book on ancient times. Five stars. Keep the home fire burning 🫡

learning as much as i can about wildfires. prescribed burns are a prevention tactic to reduce the buildup of vegetation that could serve as fire fuel. it takes an avg of 4.7 yrs for a prescribed burn to get through environmental reviews. 80M acres need urgent treatment — that means now, not in 5 years. maddening!

I prefer them over panels since speakers engage more with each other
