Right, I'm With Her - alienating anyone who's not sexist and votes for policy, not genitalia.

Gen X broke hard for Trump. Few in that generation agree with any of the culture nonsense the current Dems support. She couldn't give us her opinion on taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgery for illegal aliens in prison? Come o

Agree. Higher prices are a known predictable consequence and could be reversed by removing the tariff. You can't change a policy like that and immediately end inflation, that's an entirely different thing.

You're saying it right now. The majority don't believe any of that about Trump.

I didn't hear that it would lower prices and don't expect it to. I expect to pay a lot more for everything as we re-build our supply chains not to include countries that throw all their Muslims in concentration camps and steal IP

During the great depression all government benefits had a work requirement with very few exceptions such as physical disability. Once that work requirement was removed, many take the path of just getting by on minimum benefits and not work

What many heard the Democrats say was that if you oppose their policies you're not only dumb, you're also a racist, misogynist, fascist, nazi, and a threat to democracy.

The aim of the tariffs is to make it unprofitable again. Majority of people want this.

I don't think they do and even if I'm wrong I think it's just not practical and will never happen as it's too complicated for the majority of voters. Citizens are never all going to be economists and scientists capable

Whatever measures are used to portray the economy as great(it's not just the stock market) or unemployment is down do not match with the impact people feel in their own lives. Maybe they aren't lies, but they aren't accurate

Oh my, I did truly laugh out loud - you're not sure about the difference in overall quality of life between the US and Botswana. Thank you for this.

Agreed. I don't have the time to pay attention to every 'maybe this is bad' thing. Figure it out for sure then ban it.

Is allowing people to follow an active investment strategy in various markets also a mistake? I understand the need for CME weather futures contracts for a farmer, but anyone is allowed to do this. Hedge funds have rules regarding who can

The first generation of open source devs did it for fun and ideological reasons. Back then, before any of the big tech companies even existed (except Microsoft, who was widely hated) software was not a highly paid profession, more in line

Treating it like an R&D investment isn't a problem - you only spend what you can afford to lose on R&D. In our case, we have no R&D budget and any money/time spent playing around with llm's leads directly to degr

Most of these guys are beyond arrogant. They think they know better than the experts that work for them.

CEO where I work is driving this push - he's got enough stupid, uncreative, and trend-following ideas without the influence of a board. He came from a sales background and I don't think those guys can resist this. It's not

I think there are some labor board requirements to report layoffs? Maybe that could be used. Could implement some rule where you can't do layoffs at all while employing visa holders. No way that an industry going through massive lay

The scaling thing is a great boogeyman. It preys on this optimism your software is going to be so successful in such a short amount of time which people want to believe.

That's what POSIX was for. Keep your scripts and system calls POSIX compliant and you could move from something like AIX to Linux easily.

Yes, both of these would be in my top ten hall of fame software books. Bought both very early on in my career and they put me so far ahead of my peers.

The existence of the government communications with the social media companies requesting suppression of content are referenced in the courts opinions. The Biden admin also admits to these communications. https://rollcall.com&#

Without access to the content which is suppressed, how can you form an opinion on whether that suppression is ethical?

Are you saying Zuck is lying and the government did not do what he's saying they did? In Twitter's case, there are emails from Adam Schiff - do you think that evidence is fraudulent?

The only definition the government should be involved in censoring would be one that is illegal and in that case they can get their lawyers and proceed with an indictment. Anything else is just propaganda.

I was around when it started and at that time it was ideological, ala Stallman. Those participating were some of the best programmers that have ever lived. Much later college students got involved and their motivations were totally differ
