I have a friend who is a devout evangelical (son of a preacher) and seems to be a follower of Christ -- who has voted for Trump every time. I'm trying to find consensus with him and so far he's revealed that he holds no love for T

This is different -- the tariffs are being applied and changed chaotically, with no direction on actually serving the point of protecting native industry. The goal of the tariffs is to replace income tax, everything else is a smokescreen.

Race is part of the what's going on -- there's an effort to purify the United States so only God's Chosen White Man (and his family) may live here. As you are proudly a Fed Soc member, are you also a follower of Jesus? From t

It's clear that evidence doesn't matter with these people, they'll twist and turn, evade and elude to no end. I find the exact same reaction in anti-vaxxers and people of faith. Try to get a religious person to recognize the

Fed Soc, eh? I'm shocked you'd consider Biden as everything I see about the org is as a right wing networking club, culminating in ownership of SCOTUS. I know about Leonard Leo and his goals. You must be so excited to know that hi

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. I don't like the twitter case and think it was a mistake. Not as bad as the case that drove Aaron Swartz to suicide (under the Obama admin). But to lecture on t

What specifically do you disagree with about my point that he's corrupt to the core and has never been held accountable? The legal system bends to those in power and "justice" occasionally makes an appearance. Meanwhile the D

I think there will always be a desire for the "vroom vroom" factor, as well as the ability to work on it without an EE degree. I don't think it's ever been logical but it ticks important emotional boxes so that makes s

In the interest of avoiding partisan squabbling on HN, I'm going to state the following and let you walk away feeling like you "won" this debate: 1. Trump is the epitome of a corrupt pol and has pretty much gotten away wi

The case was based on Trump's former attorney mentioning criminal acts his client had done -- it was an attempt to hold Trump accountable for those crimes. The reason a democrat would be involved in such prosecution is because every

There's plenty that want to do the right thing for the right reasons, but this admin is not the place for that. If we ever recover from this fiasco, we're going to have to do some serious reckoning of how to avoid it in the futu

It's surreal watching the collapse from the inside. Part of me is at the point of "fine! you all get what you deserve", but then I think of my kids and the others, future generations getting completely fucked for no fault of

It's beyond that. There's a strong element of White Nationalism and Christo-Fascism at play as well. The proponents make their intentions very clear, albeit without the self-labeling as such.

We have the word "farmed" for that. "cultivated" is not meant to mislead, it's meant to find an agreeable label that communicates the product provenance.

We're not supposed to get political here, but my comment was more observation rather than accusation. As for communism -- if you think the Dems are communists I recommend you research what communism really means. Disclaimer: I'm n

It's a fascist coup, and they're tidying up the loose ends.

If AI doesn't destroy us but actually frees people from the need to work, then projects like this could really bloom. We all need a reason to get up in the morning, as well as being part of something bigger then ourselves -- this is a

That was the beauty of it -- it changed the story from the known facts about Bush into Rather using forged documents. It was a very clever trick, I'll give him that.

I remain convinced that Rather was set up by Karl Rove -- it fits in with his other dirty tricks.

Going through Three Mile Island and Chernobyl put me in the anti-nuclear camp. As I got older and understood the technology better, I came around to be conceptually pro nuclear. In fact, if we hadn't had those disasters and had succe

This would be wonderful to have happen but the current regime does not engender hope in tax reform that serves the country rather than the rich who own it.

Not just GPU performance -- the M3 Ultra has memory bandwidth of ~800GBps vs ~1,800GBps for the 5090. I would wager that Apple recognizes the value prop for the mac to be used for AI and will up their memory bandwidth to stay in the game.
