Dell used to make computers in the US. Then they moved manufacturing to China. You're saying Dell can't make computers in the US ever again? If the economic incentives are there then the supply chains can be (re-)built, right?

The hope, at least, is that the tariffs will encourage the creation of more, better, jobs in the US through re-shoring. This would, in theory, also increase domestic consumption though the time frame is longer.

A question for people who are security experts: do you think the model of a computer having limited users and privileged users, with a user gaining privileged access being a massive security problem, is really tenable? The CPU/GPU are

Yep and I heard the servers will only have two USB-C ports for all I/O, but of course dongles will be available.

Yes I believe the idea is that the VM just keeps asking it how many lights there are until it goes insane.

Enforcing laws consistently would be great but of course one great tactic of tyrannical governments is to have a lot of laws, but only enforce them against disfavored groups. One San Francisco flavor of this to get charged for bribing offic

sincerence ? earnestence? Of course using those words will make whatever you're writing sound like satire.

Can anyone proficient with this kind of language comment on how useful it is compared to a more vanilla imperative language? It seems like it's designed for control systems, which is largely about correctly implementing large state ma

California has proven time and again that they are great at economic regulation so I think we should just go with it.

It's nice that all those numbers are up, but it would be great also to see some metrics that attempted to measure the overall utility of the change. Something like avg time spent commuting, or really commute_time * dollars_spent_commu

I just took the first one from the list. The list the article gave. I didn't cherry pick anything. The general theme of the titles of the research grants makes me think that the ones with more innocuous sounding titles are actually

Well I think a very strong heuristic is that anyone who uses the term latinx is a race grifter. But that aside, the important point is that these cuts appear to be in stuff that is at least arguably not very scientifically important. I do

That link is from the article. It's the list of the supposedly disastrous grant cuts that are happening, destroying the scientific research pipeline in this country.

I didn't look at every one on the list of these 1000 NSF grants that were cancelled: https://airtable.com/appGKlSVeXniQZkFC/shrFxbl1YTqb3AyOO?jnt... but I think if you skim the titles you can sense a theme. Here&#

Thats not what they mean by harm here. I get that you're being cool and cynical but they're using "harm" in the sense of words can cause harm therefore we are justified in censoring them. Google would be fully justified

Surely there is something that can be done in between "Giving them free taxpayer money without verifying that they exist" and "sending them to prison in el salvador for the crime of applying for asylum"

I'm making a normative statement--a statement about how things should be. You seem to be confusing this with a positive statement, which you then use to claim I'm ignorant of how things actually are. Of course identity does in f

One obvious way I can see to inoculate yourself against this kind of thing is to ignore the identity of the person making an argument, and simply consider the argument itself.

by gotoeleven 1y ago
It'd be cool if maybe people just focused on the merits of the arguments themselves rather than the identity of the arguer.

It really feels that way because that's what they're doing. There's a legit non-profit internet encyclopedia barnacled with a bunch of generic left wing political stuff, except the barnacle is bigger than the boat.
