Have you been to China? It's like a science fiction movie. Now consider how Mao destroyed the old world, killed the old guard, and led the few remaining through decades of poverty rebuilding the glorious smart city society they have to

Are you familiar with healthcare.gov? It was a disaster. So the government let some people from the tech industry come in and help. Techies saved Obamacare and then founded an agency called USDS, who did other sites like login.gov. DOGE is

Only death entraps us, and even that is open to debate by some. One of the reasons why we respect artists is because we get what they had to give up to do it.

The stock market is open to all. Everyone has the opportunity to participate. It does not discriminate. All you need is $184k to make the same average income off the S&P 500 for life as you would collect on government disability. A frug

It wouldn't be so cringe if they talked about the technical side too. The article says nothing about what "tiny pointers" are. Andrew Krapivin doesn't have a GitHub with any code. His paper is gated so I can't read

How is this not the top comment? I was scratching my head wondering until I found your links. So the smackdown from Linus is what motivated it. Honestly though if you read the email Linus is replying to, it was deserved. To be fair, Hector

The thing that makes revolutions fail or succeed is whether or not they take control of the money. Trump isn't doing that. He appears to just be auditing for fraud and corruption. If he was trying to control the money, then he'd n

The best safe space after the US is Switzerland. If you move anywhere else, you risk making it worse for yourself. One option is Taiwan which gives gold cards to people with impressive GitHubs.
