Please don't misunderstand me. The voters have terrible judgment and understanding of causality. And professional Dems are terrible at messaging, strategy, tactics, and execution.

Biden kicked off the biggest reindustrialization in our lifetime, and certain consumer protections were improving. Everything you want was blocked by repubs in Congress and trump appointed judges. The Dems don't pass enough policies be

That's just a regurgitation of talking points, so I guess there's no conversation to be had here.

> The end state of "nothing will fundamentally change" and "I wouldn't have done a single thing differently" is exactly the same as the end state of Trump's accelerationism. Pretty wild to suggest that conti

They release a yearly impact report. Every right-wing comment on this page is just asserting stuff. There's no information in any of them. No attempts to educate or inform. No breakdown or analysis of what USAID does and the cost-benef

Being an employee of the federal government doesn't give you access to everything. There are laws, passed by Congress, about who is allowed to do what.

Politicians look at how people vote to decide how to run and how to govern. When you vote for Kamala over Trump, you show them your preferences, and they'll run and govern in a more methodical way. The next batch of candidates gets eve

Trump's first term is responsible for a large portion of the debt. He should take accountability and step down.

If he frees up a significant fraction of budget while making the government better and more effective, and not doing anything illegal or wrong, then yes, I'd be happy to eat my words! Thing is, I checked my twitter feed for the first t

Congrats, you are now important enough to be a piece on the board, and to therefore get jerked around like one.

If it were constructive dismissal then they wouldn't have promoted him. This is "I heard you were a high performer but I don't know you directly, so I have high uncertainty. I have a team that needs guidance, but I don't

Wow, what a perfect description of why their probability-logic leads to silly beliefs. I've been wondering how to argue within their frame for a while, and here's what I've come up with: Is the likelihood that aliens exist, a

Funny. Whiteboarding, for me has always been the fastest way to discuss complex ideas. I've never been able to replicate this speed with remote people (and I've tried several tools).

Very very minor party shenanigans. Serious enough that they should be called out and punished, but not serious enough to effect the voting. "She was given the questions tonthe debate," is the most serious accusation. But anyone wi

Don't believe the goofballs. AI isn't close to replacing software engineers. And if it is, then it's just going to build the robots that replace agriculture jobs too, so nothing's really safe. If you don't like stud

Could you give some examples of questions that should not have been closed? I'm still glad when google sends me to a good stackoverflow answer, because it's usually high quality and helpful. I don't ask many questions there,

A $9 congestion charge is probably a huge help to you. For just $9 per visit, you get much lower traffic and easier parking. Your very high priority trip is easier because lots of lower priority trips either didn't happen, or used tran

IMO most of these CEOs are not motivated by wokeness or anti wokeness. They are motivated by money, and the freedom to take whatever action they deem appropriate both inside and outside their companies. Biden was anti-monopoly and Trump is

I use Twitter for machine learning research only, but somehow that account gets inundated with Maga crap. That's proof enough for me. Sure, that's an anecdote of one instance, but it's so clear. And how would you do a proper

Plus, laying the list of tasks out in order sometimes makes it obvious how to split it up eventually. If you try to split it up the first time you write it, you get a bunch of meaningless splits, but if you write a 300 line function, and le

Your resume looks fine, and you're getting to interviews. Why have you been rejected from 20 phone screens and 10 interviews? Can you tell whether you are meeting the technical bar? If not, maybe you are missing something about how you

It sounds so nice! Sadly, $work uses git LFS, so neither is a possibility for me.

Here's a very go-like way to solve it. Make the union type default instantiate as the first possible type of the union. You might think this is a pretty dumb design decision that can lead to programmer error, but it meshes perfectly wi

I trivialized your comment because it was already trivial. You mentioned some video, but were too lazy to even link to it, much less summarize the main ideas so we could know if it was worth watching or not. I take vitamin-d and melatonin a

I've been keeping a list of problems with my gen10: 1. The laptop overheats easily. It is usually hot to the point of being painful to touch. It has melted the adhesive of the rubber strip on the bottom, which has fallen off. 2. The tr

I've watched the X1 Carbon line similarly nosedive from great, to decent, to self-immolating. Now I'm really not sure what to try next.

I've now read a summary. It's just the same light, eating, and exercise changes, mixed with some night-owl denialism. All stuff I've tried dozens of times, which maybe moves my sleep by 15 minutes.

Advice from morning people about sleep is usually as useful as cancer advice from homeopathics. I can understand his lack of interest here.
