One thing is for sure: Annulling the results of an election is definitely election interference, unless you're using doublespeak.

No; Romania [1]. But yes, Hungary also has its own set of problems; Europe has always been allergic to democracy, and its no surprise that allergy would keep rearing its head in the 21st century. [1] https://theloop.ecpr.eu/

The UK government just demanded Apple to disable Advanced Data Protection, globally, in order to backdoor the iPhone; and Apple has at least compiled with it for UK users; but no, for sure, its the US Clouds that are unsafe, not because of

What are you doing, personally, to improve any of those things (beyond just wasting time on the internet)?

Depends on how the data is used. Also if you've ever been to a school like NYU, you'd naturally ask: Where does the school start and end?

Ultimately I am supportive of a surplus budget. For the next fiscal year, it comes down to how much spending the government is able to cut. I will say, the whole idea of DOGE giving $5,000 to every American feels quite unrealistic and unnec

If you're going to resort to calling others here "fascist clowns", again, you should really meditate on how much of your thinking is influenced by the media you consume. You aren't actually reading and understanding; you

Well, that's the thing; I don't know what peoples' concerns are. I hear a lot of complaints about vague generalities (like what you just said) and ominous future-fear about a dictatorship, but I struggle to connect any of tho

This is the reality. Most people even in the US don't care. When you ask the extremists, like some of the people in these threads, to list specific concerns about specific things that the USG is currently doing that they're unal

Oligarchical & oppressive dictatorships do tend to have some guise of stability; though whether that aligns with Europe's values more than American values depends most on how far Europe has fallen, and how much gaslighting they&#x2

Most stuff is. Even some people and companies in Europe had a hand in building it; at the very least I'm sure Apple has software teams there, and ASML is dutch. We're a deeply interconnected world. Few parts of it can be self-suff

Costco is culturally insane. There's a certain kind of person (cough prepper cough) that shops at Costco; these people hear one whiff of societal instability and they immediately buy ten dozen eggs, manage to eat half of them, and then

Yeah even in the US its somewhat regional and brand-specific. In my region, I just purchased a pack of 18 eggs for $5 USD at a typical well-known chain grocery store. Some of these egg companies are absolutely using the bird flu as an excus

I don't disagree; except on the point that this is open and blatant disrespect. I don't have the impression that the purpose of this action is to subvert the judicial branch toward the goal of centralizing power into the executive

And interestingly; its not clear to me that we'd have a better system if many of these weaknesses were patched. As software engineers might say, the quickest way to fix all the bugs in a system is to delete the system; the quickest way

It seems to me that the operative line: > The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. conveys respect to the jud

Its true that one purpose of a tariff is to protect domestic production. Another purpose is to hurt specific trading partners; when we impose an xx% tariff on China, companies who were previously importing goods from China may domesticate s

And the convenient thing about a word like "major" is, you get to define it however you want!

Simply not true. You can move the goal posts wherever you want to make it true and tell whatever political story you want, but there have been major aircraft incidents basically every year since forever in the United States.

Every single big thing started as a small thing. Every single one. Google was once just an algorithm and some math. Slack was a chat app some game devs built to talk to each other. The Path Appears To Those Who Walk.

Eh: We've seen it before. Its powerful, but its in the same class of power as social media feed algorithms, especially highly weaponized variants like TikTok. Its not unexpected that the majority of TikTok users, when asked, don't

Honestly, simply releasing a graph showing the trendline of their own metrics on e.g. inference would speak volumes. They have this data already, 100%, its on some grafana dashboard the on-calls are watching every day. My suspicion is that

Was there ever a question of this? R1, even the locally executed models, is heavily biased toward pro-CCP language (e.g. ask it any question about cross-strait relations); far more-so than one would expect given training on broad internet d

Boring, yawn, etc. Every mega-successful company ever lied, cheated, and stole their way to the top. That's how they win. Do you think Standard Oil and JP Morgan was a paragon of ethics? Why do you think tech would be any different? Th

Cursor is ten times better than VSCode and Copilot. Its extraordinarily good at reducing two-minute tasks to 10-seconds, and the more you use it the better you get at identifying these two-minute tasks. Example (web dev): hit cmd+k --> &
