With all the “fascist” and “Nazi” labels being thrown around these days—often without much historical context—here’s a surprising fact I just learned: Nazi Germany was the first non-communist country to officially make May 1st, Internationa

Now think about the other way: what if this judge is super right wing? I’m getting concerned that our judicial branch is becoming more and more political. And believe me there are many right wing judges.

Before dismissing small businesses as just a tiny part of the economy, try this: count how many times you interact with them in a single day. They might make up a small percentage of GDP, but they are a huge part of our everyday lives - and

At the end of the day, it comes down to one thing: knowing what you want. And AI can’t solve that for you. We’ve experimented heavily with integrating AI into our UI, testing a variety of models and workflows. One consistent finding emerged

I assume this will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Is issuing a warrant to do blanket search of cell tower data unconstitutional?

One lesser-known and deeply unsettling fact from academic history is that a significant number of professors at major German universities supported the Nazi regime during its rise to power. Far from being passive bystanders, many actively e

> Actually Trump repeatedly said he didn't know about project 2025. His exact quote is: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025." Meaning sure - he did not write it. I doubt he read it - it is 900+ pages long document :-)

Project 2025 lays out a clear vision for the privatization and decentralization of federal functions. It’s not subtle—it explicitly calls for it. Separate from whether we support this or not: Trump is doing—or promising to do—exactly what h

Yes, this is 100% consistent with their policy: cut everything and if you find out that something is really really needed then reverse it.

My guess is that they’ll be phased out next year. The long-term goal seems to be transitioning the CVE program into something more like an industry-led consortium. (If you did not notice they operate zero budgeting approach: cut everything

The unfortunate reality is that a half of the US population sees the NLRB as a burden on small businesses—primarily because its policies shift frequently, making compliance costly and complex for those without deep legal resources. [1] And

How can we prove that one of neutrinos is massless? That would be impossible - but I do not understand these things so I can be wrong.

I read somewhere that this experiment has sensitivity of 0.2 eV (I could be wrong here so please correct me). What is this 0.45 eV then? Are they still running the measurements and trying get to 0.2 eV or this is maximum they can achieve? [

In the tech and venture capital (VC) world, a startup is usually defined by its intent to grow fast and at scale. If you’re using the term “startup” in a tech/VC context: Yes, high growth is core to the definition.

I think the post is off. How exactly is a VC—or any investor, really—supposed to make money from a startup that’s aiming for a “middle of the road” outcome? That just doesn’t add up. In that case, wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in so

Honestly, I was under impression Democrats were for tariffs :-) I guess I was unnecessarily worried that Democrats love tariffs. It is the other way around now. I do remember this speech by Bernie Sanders: https://www.youtube.com

It is fascinating how the positions of the two major U.S. political parties have flipped on tariffs. Democrats, who historically supported protectionist trade measures, now oppose tariffs, while Republicans—once champions of free trade—have

They’re talking about cheap Chinese alternatives, implying that Roombas are made in the U.S.—but in reality, Roombas are manufactured in Malaysia.

I recall that the GOP once introduced a bill requiring congressional approval for any changes to tariffs. I believe it was proposed sometime around 2015—or perhaps even earlier, around 2005. I’m not entirely sure of the exact date. What I d
