To be fair, if you ignore the war, it's not spending that makes the deficit go up under Republicans; it's the tax cuts. It's like announcing you are going to get your household finances together by quitting your job. And they

Quick question... Which one of those do I contact when my credit card company is trying to hold me responsible for fraudulent charges on my credit card? Until someone can answer me that question with a link to a form I can fill out with an

It's users. Between the die hard Trump supporters and the users who flag any political content on HN it's more or less impossible for anything DOGE related to stay up without the mods active protection. There's a contact link

It's literally the government directly punishing a member of the press for their speech. What's the bar for a "free speech" issue in your mind?

Free speech for me but not for thee.

In addition to appeals there is also impeachment. There are plenty of ways to check a rogue judge without having to weaken the judicial branch itself.

> why would they respect the impeachment verdict from congress? Supposedly at that stage everyone would stop following their instructions. This may be part of why Trump is so set on replacing huge swaths of the government with loyalists.

I get it's not a narrative game. That doesn't mean that there shouldn't be reasoning behind the mechanics. The fact that most of my troops just suddenly disappear at this arbitrary time to me at least has no reasoning behind

I'm trying to take you at your word that you aren't trying to be a jackass, but I'm honestly having a really hard time reading this another way so I'll ask: Are you saying that overweight people lack self-respect?

That sucks, it shouldn't have happened. Assuming it happened as presented rather than being a critical look at your hiring practices it's pretty clearly discriminatory. > nobody is allowed to even express these anecdotes I mean

So, unsupported assertions and anecdotes it is then.

That doesn't require GPLv4 though. Anyone wanting to switch their project to the AGPL can just start releasing new versions under it. Existing code would be available as GPLv3 and the newer stuff under AGPL, same as the v4 scenario.

If all Bitcoin holders sold their Bitcoins, who is buying? You need to have a counterparty to the transaction. If everyone is liquidating an asset, it's price will be zero, as no one is buying.

Doesn't the "or later" clause give the user the option of using the software under the newer license? I'm pretty sure they can keep applying the GPLv3.

Virtually all of the spending through USAID was Congressionally authorized. Can you explain how blocking or delaying that spending fails to meet the definition of Impoundment? To say nothing the freezes that have been put on hold by the cou
