People already hated this dystopian tech. Then they watched billionaire tech titans kiss Trump’s ass for amenable federal policies and handouts - while Trump fought in court against feeding Americans. Trump. Bezos. Altman. What’s the differ

Having served in the US Armed Forces, I can tell you this was drilled into our heads from day 1 at boot camp: you do not serve the president, you do not serve congress, heck, you don't even serve the republic! You serve the constitutio

The gold standard for a codebase isn’t perfection - it’s impact. Financially, the closest analogy is ROI minus Operating Costs: as long as that number is positive, you’re technically in good shape. But the real goal is to maximize that diff

The biggest problem with Target is that their product mix and selection are meh at best. Their grocery section lacks specialty items like Trader Joe’s. Their clothes are overpriced for the quality - and I’ve even seen the same brands delive

The argument for 28 MPH e-bikes makes sense - matching traffic speed improves safety by reducing differential speed, which is a major cause of accidents. But if we’re serious about integrating e-bikes into urban mobility, 40 MPH is a more p

Just use NATO Standardization Agreement 1059. The date in question is written as 10MAY25 using this NATO standard. This of course is assuming human-to-human communication. For machine-to-machine communication then you would use RFC 3339 whi

Most homeowners sell within 12 years, so with a 50-year mortgage they’d have almost no equity. They were basically paying rent. At that point, a 50-year mortgage functions more like rent control than equity building. That matters because th

They’re referring to the demand shock effect: tariffs raise prices on imports, which suppresses overall demand and reduces aggregate spending. Since inflation measures the general price level, weaker demand can offset cost-push effects, pro

This article feels a bit one-sided. It doesn’t mention that the rule change was made on September 29, 2025, and applies retroactively to already-issued CDLs. It also omits that this was an “emergency” rule, which took effect immediately wit
