Seems like a much riskier move to me. Maybe this will just blow over and it will all work out for them, but I wouldn't feel certain of that outcome if I were them. Agreed that if they had created and fully controlled the whole thing fr

Ha yep. I remember a lot of this drama from my early days working with rails. But my impression is that none of this mattered and has long been water under the bridge. (I didn't know until reading about this current episode that there

The confusing thing to me about Shopify's role in this - assuming this reporting is accurate - is that if they think having a dependency on open source infrastructure like this is an existential threat, then you would think the solutio

This is all very interesting, but I'm sorry, personally I just feel the same as the poster you replied to. I don't experience this as anything weird, I just experience it as if I'm looking at a map from the top.

Yeah, requiring a check in every month to keep getting a prescription always struck me as an ironic requirement when treating people with ADHD.

Yeah I was initially drawn to rust because I loved ocaml but wished it were more practical.

I feel like it's the same target market as the Maverick, but the (certainly smaller currently) subset of that market that prefers the drivability of EVs. I think if they can actually pull off this vehicle at this price point, it will b

Excellent point. But I do think that forcing people to use IDEs for productivity was a thing for awhile. But still agree that the current moment is a difference in kind not just in scale.

by sanderjd 1y ago
Huh? Most people use tools like vim for productivity... I agree with you that AI dev tools are overhyped at the moment. But IDEs were, in fact, overhyped (to a lesser degree) in the past.

This seems like a non sequitur. What does this have to do with this thread?

> That's as darn good of an explanation of why we fall down as one could possibly give. To me, the right word for this sentence is clearly "how", not "why".

And IMO more clearly good. QSBS, like the mortgage deduction, is good for me personally, but still questionable policy in my view.

It might benefit me someday, but that doesn't mean I'm "thrilled" about it. Government policy is about more than just getting yours.

The example in the article seemed a lot easier to build and use than a C++ extension. It's unclear to me from this comment, what exactly your pushback is.

This isn't an empirical question, it's analysis, not fact finding.

It would have been easier to solve that problem than to spin up an entire nuclear weapons capability from scratch.

> Ukraine didn't have nukes. Would they have been invaded if they had nukes? Unclear. Maybe. Maybe not. Generally interesting comment, but this particular thing is faux uncertainty, I think. The answer is clearly no. The way North

First of all, I disagree with your characterization of what the conventional wisdom is. I don't think most people are thinking about this at all. Most people will come down on rah rah America or boo war is bad, not "it's bad

Very unlikely. He won twice and fully owns one of our two parties. Any hope for "he was an aberration" died last November.

I'm saying that there is zero reason for them to believe that entering into a negotiation with us would keep us from attacking them, because they have done that (twice) and we attacked them in the middle of that negotiation. Don't

There is nothing "doomer" about my comment that they replied to! It's just true (as this person agrees) that everyone has the incentive to build their own nuclear weapons, because they can't trust anyone else to protect

Ukraine had nuclear weapons after the fall of the Soviet Union. They were persuaded to get rid of them. I don't think you're disagreeing with me, you're just comparing to a more recent status quo. Nuclear non-proliferation w

You don't have to speculate like this. We can just look at how North Korea is treated, now that they do have nuclear capability. From the Iranian (or Ukrainian) perspective, the conclusion can only be "better than us". In you

The problem with this is that there is now absolutely no reason for anyone to think that any treaty or other agreement made with any US administration (of either party) will remain in force after the next administration takes power. Rebuild

"You're going to bomb the shit out of us anyway, what's the point?" They were already having this negotiation, and we started bombing them in the middle of it. And they already negotiated an agreement a decade ago, and w

I think it is fantasy to think we can ever get back to a point where we're seen as a credible negotiating partner, after the events of the past decade.

Not only will they not stop, this has massively increased their incentive to successfully create a nuclear program. In the opposite direction but with the same outcome, the just-barely-enough aid that Ukraine has received after being invade
