> I’m not convinced. My small anecdata of Iranian friends with contacts in Iran agrees with me. I am having a very hard time believing anyone would be favourable to the country currently lobbing bombs at them from halfway around the glob

Also, a classic tweet from the Cloudflare CEO re their fight with Italians authorities re censorship: https://xcancel.com/eastdakota/status/2009654937303896492 Everyone looks bad in this conflict.

I think one blind spot for this type of article is the risk of taking hagiographies at their word.

"Tantrum" is a choice word.

Laptops are used in so many more situations than just sitting at a desk. Literally "you're holding it wrong".

No, all US equities are up after the Iran ceasefire news. You need to look at Deere stock after taking out the beta to the market.

Can someone explain to me why the debt thing is an issue? The US can inflate it away over time, with the main cost being the US standard of living staying flat or going down (which is annoying but very much tolerable given current American

Cheap labour producing goods for the native population at low costs should increase your standard of living, no? It makes the products you buy cheaper. By your logic, if you were the only person in the country, you'd live like a king.

I think they're confused/disingenuous and talking about the _marginal_ tax rate at 100k. There's a segment of a few thousand pounds where your marginal tax rate skyrockets because you lose your tax free allowance at that inco

xAI's value is irrelevant here. This is about Elon throwing his weight around and rigging the game to create an artificial squeeze so him and his early investors can make bank by transferring wealth from everyone's retirement fund

Your views are getting more unhinged by the day fyi. You used to have interesting, if tediously contrarian things to say. But now it's just strawmans and weird takes like the above.

I know it's par for the course, but I'm constantly surprised to see how editorialised official communications from the US government are.

This "article" just rehashes the top submissions from the reddit thread and then adds some surface level musings about UX. It also blasts you with a full screen subscribe popup, ostensibly in case you want to see more rehashed con

Fyi, large states in the US routinely have rolling blackouts and brownouts. Texas, California (the richest state lmao), Puerto Rico, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi etc

Yes, the American cultural preference for guns is well established. The GP's point was that in most of the world guns are more restricted and people are doing just fine.

Fyi, insults are illegal in the US, under certain conditions, under the fighting words doctrine.

by maest 7mo ago
No, an insult implies insolence, rudeness, condescension, insensitivity. You can communicate a dim view of someone without being rude.

You can tell them they are doing a shameful job or that you disagree with their actions or whatever. You just can't _insult_ them like a 6 year old on a playground. Why is the ability to do so valuable to you?

Maybe that right is not worth the trade off
