Incendiary. Is he trying to suggest the journalists are at fault here?

Yes. This administration is on a blitz ahead of the midterms. Rubio has his eyes on Cuba and he's positioned himself next to Trump. It is happening.

It would be absolutely astounding to read TFA and then continue to take this weasel and his word at face value.

Aren't these things just legal fictions that only exist because/as long as the US government allows it?

So it's a controlled demolition? In this view, is the goal to devalue our own debt? Extract value while it still has value?

Service for citizenship, stationed along the border walls and manning really big fucking guns seems to be the place my brain always goes to in these sorts of conversations.

Through circumstance I went from a fully remote working arrangement to working for a place that's 5 miles down a single surface street from where I live (which, during commute hours pushes up to 15 minutes). I go in twice a week, but s

My employer very successfully shipped a lot of brand new stuff during COVID when everyone was full-time remote. We made a lot of money off of those products. Then they sort of bragged about it. Then they instituted RTO. Now (I'm told,

What's the basis for this war in Iran? Did that stop this administration? This is akin to pointing out that it's actually illegal to drive 30 mph over the speed limit.

I'm far more interested in understanding how we can 10x our confidence in a change and not just our line counts.

How much more productive are we supposed to be in engineering? Are we 10x'ing our testing capability at the same time? QA is already a massive bottleneck at my $DAYJOB. I'm not sure what benefits the company at-large derives from

In the end it's a distinction without a difference. The result is the same, and Thiel was building the fire escape before anyone could smell smoke.

> Since you don’t care that much about money, they can’t buy you at least. I get the sense that Bill does care about money, and so does Larry Summers, so Mom's advice probably wouldn't have done much there.

Having 1 place (or just generally limiting them) that does the things keeps the dry_run check from polluting the entire codebase. I maintain a lot of CLI tooling that's run by headless VMs in automation pipelines and we do this with

It is exhausting and frustrating. What level of evidence is required here? And why? It's not unlike the article. Do we need to wait around for firing squads or something? What does it take for people to wake up?

Is this common belief grounded in reality? We're well past the notion that the "old man" (and his VP, as well as most, if not all of his cabinet) believes in the law and he has stacked the deck in his favor.

ACC generally has a 3-4 second time interval that it permits between you and the car in front of you. I live in SoCal, so a lot of my driving is on very aggressive routes. The 4-second gap is mechanically safe but it's practically unus

Probably not. I love what I do, I get to work in games and it's so much fun. But at the end of the day I still have a issue, in trading my time for money, and there's a lot of stuff I'd rather be doing. Spending more time ou

Sure, but I also make ~6x as much as I did 15 years ago. Despite that I still think everything is too fucking expensive.

I spent ~16 years with Ruby (as a non-primary language for the first 5 years, but then as my primary for the remainder), from ~2006/2007 til 2022/2023. I had a couple of hours free to spin up new personal project this morning. At
