Could you clarify what this means? Is this some inside HackerNews reference I'm unaware of?

What demeaning comments were made about Canada and Mexico? As far as I know from reading the comments here, they're just part of Trump's aggressive negotiation tactic - same as the tariffs that are currently being applied.

One could argue that that is also completely fine for those in charge.

I guess it'd be nice to have some research to try and find out the real reason and challenge our own hypothesis, rather than always fall back on "I thought X was the reason". This is why the defunding of these programs is so

Civet ( https://civet.dev ) is probably my favorite one if I want something a bit fancier than Typescript, purely because it shares the same elements that you are as "opt-in" as much as you like, at least in my limited e

No one could have seen this coming. Why didn't anybody warn US voters at all!

Trying to follow up with people's absurd claims here is generally considered harassment, so I find it unlikely we'll get something from your parent comment.

Well I don't know. Despite all this chaos, the economy is doing better than ever (?), we have the best jobs (?) the best salaries (?), very beautiful salaries. Who knew that a Republican administration would be bad for most people, no

It's about encouraging the free market. Drug makers will naturally compete and it's up to the American public to reward the flu shot with the most efficacy, or in some cases, not take a shot at all and rely on natural immunization

But a pedantically, technically accurate one, just on brand for this site!

You know perfectly well that the UK is in Europe. Not necessary part of the EU, but Europe as a continent, yes.

Let me be clear - I don't necessarily agree with the opinion that it's a personal attack, however dang states that it is [1], so I'm trying my best to make sure those who make good-faith comments don't get unnecessarily

Please note that "you know perfectly well what it was" is considered a personal attack on this site. As much as I agree with you, I think it's best if we keep this place civil, as many others on the internet aren't anymo

It's disappointing to hear this sentiment. GP is simply asking a question to keep the discussion curious, after all, this site is purely for "curious discussion". Trying to dismiss it as trolling actively detriments this foru

Then why is it called the Department of Government Efficiency? I doubt Musk or Trump would be lying there, surely not!

It's a bit humorous to see so many Americans simply say with hubris "yeah I'm moving to Europe / Asia / NZ / Australia" as if those countries don't have their own immigration requirements and laws.

It's more important that the takes generate "curious" discussion, regardless of how naive and wrong they are. Especially during a "MOT", where things quickly get hidden.

I feel like public embarrassment only works on those who can feel shame. If his first 4 years of the presidency wasn't enough, then I don't think there's much more the world, let alone the US, can do.

I've had someone on this site say to me that it's because America embraces the free market, as well as it being the only country to have granular enough taxes to require a third party to handle it. It's incredibly hard becaus

I think the good thing is that the DOGE team seem extremely humble and willing to learn from their mistakes, rather than pass the blame in ignorance. Just like their leader!

That is not what many voted for. I personally know a few who voted with glee because Trump is a loose cannon and follows no decorum.
