There was always corruption like Clinton pardoning Marc Rich or Biden pardoning his son (after claiming he wouldn't) but Trump is bringing it to a new level. First Blagojevich and now this guy. Really hard to justify these pardons.

"Where is the money really going?" That's what DOGE should lay out in a clear manner. But they don't.

I am all for efficiency and questioning what and how things are done. But this is just too heavy handed. I think DOGE is really not about efficiency but about reduction at any cost.

It was never believable.

All the inconvenient rules that make the low level employees less efficient don't apply to the upper ranks. That allows them to complain about their employees.

“ They’ve helped ensure that American medical training remains second to none. Not just in quality, but in difficulty. The years of unpaid labor, the crushing debt, the endless exams — it’s not a flaw, it’s a filter. Without those standards

I think both are true. The vibe-coders will run into massive problems. But AI will also improve a lot and probably be better than humans at some point.

"I'm also not sure if a car mechanic needs to know how an engine works. I'm assuming almost none of them could design a car engine from scratch. They know just enough to know which parts needs to be replaced." That'

“ Losing the ability to do mental math is probably not actually a big deal” I think it’s a huge deal. I see a lot of people do some financing stuff and they have no idea what a 20% interest rate really means. So they just go ahead and do it

Exactly. I see a lot of graphs and animations that look cool but when you take a closer look, they convey not much information .

For the last years of my dad a chat robot would have been a godsend. He had increasing dementia and the last years you had basically the same conversation every ten minutes. It’s really hard to stay nice and play along when this goes on for

Yes, I do a lot. Everything I feel confident doing and have the time for.

The lack of continued access leads a lot of people into fentanyl and other drugs.

You need to have a big ego to take on the responsibility of a doctor. A lot of people can’t handle it emotionally so the job selects for people with narcissism or psychopathy. This is a very rough generalization but from my interactions wit

True. I have a serious DIY porn addiction due to Youtube.

Agreed. But I expect huge progress in the next years/decades. It feels like a lot of things are finally coming together. The same happened in the 90s with the internet or the 2000s with cell phones. People are doing research in a lot o

These are probably the same people who say that environmental regulation is not necessary because companies would clean up pollution anyways.

Technical progress would be fantastic if the benefits didn't go mainly to the top. I am pretty sure in the not too far future we will have enough technology that you can live off the land somewhere with the help of some robots. Or have

Let's hope Europe finally starts developing their own again. It will be good for jobs and technical knowledge. Globalization can be good but for critical things like weapons or also chips, it's better to have capability at home. I

But again, why call out specific groups by gender or race and not call out others? Do people really think that a white guy from some poor area has more privilege and needs less support than some person from {insert oppressed group here} who

How about an ERG for people who need support? When I started working I had no idea how things work and nobody told me. I didn't even know that things like mentorship exist. I had been taught by my parents that you go to work and do wha

ERG groups provide mentorship and support. The assumption that all white people, males or in this case Swiss don’t need support or get it automatically is plain wrong.

“ What would an ERG for white people even do? What would you want from it?” What do other groups get? Support, networking, mentorship probably. A lot of white people could use that help too.

"serving everyone in the country" That's long over. Whoever wins by 1% believes they have the mandate to only cater to their constituents (which is mostly wealthy donors)

That's the MO of both parties in the US. During the last campaign the Democrats bombarded me with E-mails begging for money. They never asked for my opinion and never mentioned anything they were planning to do. The message was "V

It’s almost like parenting. Children from a bad environment are more likely to have problems later. Not very different from dogs. Both try to fit into their environment and take clues for “correct” behavior from there. That’s as opposed to

I used to be friends with some finance guys around 2008 and they told me the same thing. Retail investors are basically suckers to them who can be exploited.

Unless there is a massive rethink of a lot of laws we are running into a surveillance state worse than Orwell could have come up with. "No expectation of privacy in a public space" made sense when there were no databases that coul
