Please please please take a minute to look at this administration's tax plan and their previous one. They did already and are planning to again add trillions to our deficit. Go look at it, it's laid out very clearly. There is no g

To save some time, can you define the True Scotsman here? Would the US in the 1920s count as a liberal capitalistic country for example? England in the 1860s?

I'll just throw this tidbit out even though it sounds like in this specific case gold is physically moving. But in many (most?) cases, gold in these amounts is held in very few physical locations around the world, like The Bank of Engl

They are, but typically what automakers will do is assume the tax credit on your behalf and just give you $7,500 off the price of your car up front. They will then collect $7,500 come tax day. That's a win-win all around, the consumer

As a Taiwanese citizen, with only a Taiwanese passport, you can move pretty freely throughout the world. If most countries didn't recognize Taiwan as a country, they wouldn't consider these passports valid, no?

Ray Ban Meta is the first AR/VR product that's worth the price of admission imo. The price isn't crazy, it's a very well put together product and I actually find myself using them. I wish I could use my AI of choice rath

Unfortunately, the US customer doesn't want EVs so we're kinda capped. You could imagine a forcing function beyond the tax credit but clearly politically that is off the table for awhile. The US (people) doesn't want to lead

I tell people selling devtools that if you find yourself on a sales call with a single software engineer, something has probably gone wrong (as described in this article). However if you're on a call with two EMs, a couple engineers, a

As someone that does this for a living, 100%. Email OTP is a great alternative that splits the difference of magic links vs passwords. Agreed with some other folks that Passkeys is not a replacement for email verification.

Magic links have rough edges, Passkeys have black holes. > On this blog I speak only for myself as someone experienced in usable security and website authentication. This caveat near the top speaks to my point, if you're a developer

In Hell's Canyon Oregon, there were mining camps up and down it and you still see a ton of fruit trees dotting the canyon because of it. Many are intentional, by homes, rows etc, but sometimes you see the odd copse of fruit trees off b

Wars are very good at pumping GDP, but from reports, someone linked an FT article in this thread, the increase or sustain in GDP is all down to war time spending by the Russian government. Economically they're in very rough shape, but
