This is exactly what I was thinking when I heard him speak about it. Borrowing for a slush fund for the projects (probably many of them American) they want to push... which in a way just means another future tax. Calling it a "sovereig

All China (or anyone) has to do is deliver a close to equal product at a much cheaper price and make it scaleable / usable... which is what they're doing. It doesn't have to be malicious at all. Just a good product at a good

This is so strange to me. Hasn't Japan been printing money for like decades? How isn't their inflation completely out of control by now?

Except they make you tap 2-3 times more than it takes to make your selections. That's business guys though, not the devs. Do you want to add one of [x]?... No. How about now, add one of [x]?... No. Do you want to round up your total to

If you like Erlang, Elixir, and Elm/Haskell, then Gleam + Lustre (which is TEA) is a pretty great fit.

The giant sacred cows are Defence (War) and Social Security. Could probably solve the deficit pretty quickly by getting money out of politics, especially defence contractor and AIPAC money. That would require a significant political overhau

What blows my mind is how liberals and progressives (of which I count myself a member) don't see to care that this is the policy that pushed Trump into office. Without it he would have flopped with just his MAGA core. All you need to d
