The UK government has already released a statement saying that they expect Israel to host delegations like this. Ergo, they have indicated that it is their business. Actions are more indicative of the situation than wordplay.

If this causes networking issues, your setup is already too complicated to manage through a flat set of docker containers. That's not a bad thing, this just isn't the horse for that course so to speak.

If you're very concerned just have your prod environment and kick up test services in docker containers and test your tweaks and changes there.

Doing this ad-hoc will be easier and more practical than trying to maintain two full environments like you're a series B startup finding it's feet!

So a "parliamentarian delegation" isn't official government business?

The UK Foreign Office said the group was part of a parliamentary delegation - however Israel's immigration authority contested this claim, saying the delegation had not been acknowledged by any Israeli official.

The MPs said the trip had been organised with UK charities that had "over a decade of experience in taking parliamentary delegations".

We don't need Israel's acknowledgement or approval to label the WGs of the UK government. If there should have been coordination with their government on the constraints of their visit, that's another matter. It doesn't make the delegation any less a part of government business by their own definition.

I mean, JD Vance certainly helped me realise the weakness of flesh

I'd have to see the study, but most of what I've seen from articles in the same vein is that they have a very low conversion rate... But they're still worth it.

A single conversion's LTV can offset the cost of an ad by many thousands or tens of thousands of unconverted impressions. Then you factor in referral campaigns, social share incentives, etc. you get converted users that convert other users, which also factors into the overall balance of your campaign and ... In short you can see why targeted ads are so popular.

Bingo. Everyone thinks it's about retention but it's not. Lifetime value of a user is a much more complicated than it was ten years ago when Silicon Valley was joking about DAU and such.

If you ever want to fuck your LTV for a company, just phone their customer services a few time and make sure you waste as much time as possible. Your value as a user will drop significantly as you plummet into negative value due to the high cost of human-led support

You're assuming that these approaches don't work. As someone who has worked on shitty growth engineering projects for many years, I can tell you they do work very, very well.

I hear people say the same about ads: "why show ads when everyone hates them!". They fucking work. Big biz doesn't care about love or hate, it cares about profits. These methods turn profits.

They've been out of good ideas for years, not sure why they'd start panicking this far into the mediocrity

excuse me what the fuck

Now shut up and get back to work

If they are, that's going to happen anyway. The only difference between the two scenarios is whether they do it within the safety of your house.

Describing the outcomes in terms of functions over shell states, as you have, is the quickest and most transparent way of demonstrating that they aren't the same.

The article was a fun "scenic route" to the same conclusion, though.

The problem is that the amount is probably wrong by the time I finish writing the sentence. The only solution is to burn Tesla dealerships at a fast enough rate to cause a profit/loss equilibrium so we can report it correctly.

Damn, with solutions like these maybe I should just go work for DOGE
