DJT just talked about arresting Newsom. When asked why by reporters he said because he was a bad governor. We can bury our heads all we want, but this seems like a constitutional crisis to me. Said another way, hiw many signs do we have to

I would also not want to debate someone who vehemently denies saying things he has recently said on tape. The fact that he runs from his own statements is severely telling and disqualifies him for reasonable people. Not some in this thre

You are naive to think police can’t turn a peaceful protest into a TV photo op for Fox News. And, it’s also naive to think that all the protesters are on the same side. Instigators are from either no side and the other side. During the Geor

You are completely wrong. I run a small software company and this is really bad for us. All this does for large companies is that it might cause them to layoff developers. For a small software company it can threaten our existence.

> you have to depreciate that over several years (5 in this case). 15 years in the case of foreign developers.

This isn't true for the town Elon moved into in TX to house his new xAI datacenter. It was an existing town and they are using portable generators that are completely destroying the air in the town. All happened in the last 2-3 years

Nah, they care not at all about the neighbors. They built the factory in the bad part of town for a reason.

There are definitely gray areas to the law, but in my decades of experience dealing with lawyers, they won't steer you to do something very far over the line. I think the companies that do step far over the line, to game the system, a

> Foreign workers are to my knowledge effectively always a service contract, since it's pretty complicated (if even possible) to hire FTEs across borders without subsidiaries, which are expensive to maintain. It's impossible

This is simply not true. Says my lawyer and CPA. And every other CEO/CFO I've talked with.

Somewhat related: with Elon and DJT feuding, how does that work with DOGE? My understanding is that Elon hired the DOGE people, so does he still have a backdoor into DOGE, for purposes of getting data and manipulating outcomes?

It's not only that, ZIRP[1] contributed. Also, the 10+ years before the layoffs started tech companies were on a hiring binge. Much of big tech was hiring to keep people off the market and off their competitors payrolls (this is from

And if the R&D uses foreign workers, because you can't afford to pay US wages, then the 5 years goes to 15 years! This hurts small companies (like mine) that were priced out of the US developer market.

In this case, I remembered high-level plot details and nothing else. I read it when I was 7 or 8. I really did, over many years use web searches to find this book. Probably from 2007 to 2013. I think that was the time when Google was go

I just had it find a book that I read as a boy, with one prompt, that I looked for for years. I googled for hours, of course google is bad at this type of thing. But, amazing it found it so quickly.

Totally agree. They wanted to mess with supply/demand to lower salaries. A lot of very highly paid people were laid off or forced out. RTO is really about shedding people, too, so let's not forget about that.

Yeah, free is a bit of a odd take. ! ZIRP + section 174 was a huge simultaneous blow to tech. I would add one more: me too-ism from CEOs following Musk after the twitter reductions. I think many tech CEOs (e.g., Zuck) hate their workforce

Also section 174’s amortization of software development had a big role.

I don't understand why this isn't more obvious. I understand why industrialists want us to ignore working conditions in other countries (the extra money goes into their pockets), but why regular folk (which I assume most of us he
