Unfortunately some bat shit crazy states (like TExas) wants to send their troops to "pacify" the natives in Minnesota. That is why I wish Texas (along with all lunatic republican states) band into one country, screw themselves and

Great point... Whichever country Donnie forgot to put on the list will become the country of import... This would not even require physical move of goods. What a joke this is....

I think Europe can handle Russia by itself quite well. The Baltics are vulnerable, but Poland will definitely kick Russia's butt in a military engagement. Poles will defend EU's eastern flank. I expect Europe to distance itself fr

And that is why I wish this country would split. I cannot live with people (Mostly republicans) who want to use force against immigrants. These people (mostly republicans) do not want to live with me. I wish we could live in different count

Designed means exactly that I meant: today ICE is designed (meant to) beat up anyone in the US. When ICE agents kill people, they get immunity from the feds (that guy who shot Renee Good will not see a day in prison). If my comment led you

I got news for you: ICE is designed now to beat up anyone in the US. Here is one example: https://newrepublic.com/post/205280/fed-agent-permanently-bl...

What may happen to Venezuela is not the point. The point is how little control American people have on this Administration (which BTW last week started effectively giving immunity to ICE agents who kill Americans)

This is also equal to the percentage of Americans who wanted to forcefully depose Maduro. And the low percentage did not stop Trump. Unfortunately this same low percentage by itself will not stop Trump from attacking Greenland. (On a side n

The reason they are bringing the whole crew back is most likely cost related. The whole crew was due back in February anyway. They are bringing everyone home a bit early; otherwise they would need another flight a few weeks later. And nobod

How do you think MAGA will consume itself? What is the catalyst for MAGA consuming itself? Since Jan 2nd I am thinking MAGA will be less talking and more doing, up to turning USA into a dictatorship. (Doing things like attacking Venezuela f

Ok ok. I can’t wait to see how 2026 and 2027 will shake out. Trump’s choice to replace Jerome Powell will drive short term interest rates to zero because, among other things, US pays around $1 trillion / year in interest for its debt.

I now understand what you mean. This is how post-WW1 Germany tried to pay its WW1 "fines" which were pegged to gold [0]. The result was hyper-inflation - and 2 years later when this scheme was thrown out the currency stabilized. M

re: " the money's taxed when it gets transferred to the actual people that own the corporation, anyway" - not as much as you make it out to be. Large US corporations keep a pile of their profits outside the US. In theory this

Could you please expand on this: "after Congress raided the Social Security account..."? What do you mean by that? AFAIK, Social Security contributions stay within the Social Security Fund - they cannot be used by US government t

How would massive inflationary printing solve the fact that at some point in the future there will not be enough people working to support people in retirement? (I think inflation would make the problem worse, as the current amount of money

In AWS, only the very core Infra-as-a-Service that they dogfood can be considered "good" - large chunks of which are, by the way, written in Java. I think you are proving my point...
257.
by dh2022 10mo ago
Does AWS have a good reputation in devops? Because large chunks of AWS are built on Java - which also does not offer static linking (bundling a bunch of *.jar files into one exe does not count as static linking). Still does not pass the sme

In Azure - which I think is at Google scale - everything is dynamically linked. Actually a lot of Azure is built on C# which does not even support static linking... Statically linking being necessary for scaling does not pass the smell test

The only lesson that China can learn from Russia is to not invade their neighbor. It did not work out at all for Russia; if China invades Taiwan it will not work out for them either.

Well, recognizing Taiwan as an independent country for starters. The countries that recognize Taiwan are not recognized as independent states by China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_T...

On the flip side though see how badly things are working out for Russia. I think EU will not do business with Russia for a generation. Russia is really fucked. PRC sees the writing on the wall and, being the pragmatic bunch that they are, w

The West would probably cut economic ties with China like they cut them with Russia. For the simple reason that economic ties would help their enemy. Invadin Taiwan would have a huge negative impact in China. Another poster in this thread,

"Xi is kind of nice bro." - hopefully you are sarcastic. Xi is definitely not a nice bro. To your narrow point of view focused on military destruction - there are other ways the West will counter a Chinese attack on Taiwan. If Chi

Is quite an assumption to make left wing movements and organizations in the West the defender of democracy. And another assumption to make the right movements the enemy of democracy. Also, take it from me who lived 15 years in communist Rom

I am still waiting for the widely advertised and announced China attack on Taiwan. And I do not think Taiwan will become Gaza if China eventually attacks - unlike Israel, China has quite a lot of enemies in the West.

If anything, these actions will make Taiwan even more opposed to unification with China and will strengthen their resolve to oppose China. For China it would have made more sense long term to first "incorporate" Taiwan into their

How did what you linked to (i.e. the fall of Communism) contribute to decline of democracy anywhere?

Block everything except for what you want. For e.g. block everything but Netflix.
