It reminded me about how Hitler supposedly pushed for larger, heavier tank designs. Even he didn't name them after himself, though.

Is it possible we have too much capital in too few hands? Ideas become harder to sell because the ratio of investors to ideas is lower. I don't know what the solution would be. I tend to favor letting the market figure it out but dun

RIP Rob Reiner. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have a theory (born out by experience) that most American-born software engineers can quote at least one line from TBL. I often use it as an opener with new hires

There is no evidence that the Biden admin was purposefully changing the numbers. As you said they are constantly revised. Powell is (apparently) seeing evidence that the numbers are being changed by the current admin, not just revised

I'd prefer developers make up names for their project to make it easier to search, or at least use a very uncommon word. Gradle is a good example.

There IS something wrong with doctors treating people differently due to race, country, religion, gender, etc.

Are you saying that if you were a doctor you'd care less about patients from another country?

I didn't know her but reading the eulogies it was obvious she was a kind person who touched so many people. I hope some day my eulogies will be similar (if lower in scope).

> The Paradox of Tolerance This phrase needs to be used (and understood) more often. People who act in bad faith use this to their advantage and make our society worse. Look at the response to the Kirk murder: people were fired for dar

Steve Vladeck seems to be a prominent expert on SCOTUS and the shadow docket. He's a critic of how often it's used. I couldn't find anything that directly answers your questions but you can check out his blog. https:/&

My understanding is that Snap is already funded. That's why the lower court ruled that it must be paid.

Here's one possible (probable?) explanation for Brown's reasoning. Tl;Dr is she's trying to put pressure on the 6 gop judges to respond quickly. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

I think McConnell largely likes where we are politically. I'm sure he'd prefer that Trump be less deranged but by not voting to convict he left the door open for the GOP to control the president, congress, and SCOTUS.

Why should that be a bigger scandal than the Republicans going along with everything Trump is doing?

The vaccine was developed under Warp Speed, a Trump program (one of the very few things I liked from Trump). It was first made available while Trump was still president. I have some empathy for people who think it was oversold but that wa

Unfortunately I agree. I've been telling people to put no hope into the Epstein files hurting Trump. Everybody knows he's in it or pretending he's not (like Musk). Trumpers will just call it fake news and support him even m

I'm not conflicted at all. No matter how bad a problem is the government can't just kill people with no due process. That's murder.

Back when he first came out with his hyperloop plan I thought this guy was a genius who could do no wrong. The CEO of my small company at the time was recruited personally by musk to work for him at Tesla and I thought he was so lucky. Then

I don't understand how anybody can say this when Trump is the leader of the GOP. When Trump called Harris a "socialist lunatic" and a communist was that articulating the left reasonably well? Is Trump calling Biden "Slee

One of the many troubling aspects is that MAGA policies are only making it worse for these voters. Where do they turn when tariffs lead to inflation, tax cuts for the wealthy generate even more debt, and the economy goes south as immigrant

I have no knowledge but my guess is that everyone knows that if you flatter Trump you can get him to do almost anything. Machado may be hoping to get his help in dealing with the Venezuelan government.
