Is Bitcoin even a currency? Who spends it? And who keeps it stable?

I was just thinking about this and I'll bet you anything that Trump is 100% hung up on the word "deficit" and that's about it. If we said "net importer" or "goods taker" or something like that we woul

Is there a cite for that? I believe it just haven't seen it. Very worrying because Lutnick was Musk's guy and that puts him at least adjacent to Thiel and his cult of monarchy.

This isn't unique to modern American history. Literally all of human civilization meets this criteria. It's all based on a collective acceptance of rules, titles, borders, property. All of which are completely imaginary.

He has repeatedly invoked the 1890s actually. Big fan of McKinley.

The best option would be to close the gap with immigration but alas...

It's just spin. The new duties are purely punitive.

I have never caught even the slightest whiff of Trump knowing what he's doing on any topic. I'm genuinely not trying to be glib either, this is a sincere observation. When has he publicly or privately intimated that he understands

What's the old saw? Nine women can't make a baby in one month?

Possibly a reaction to Bill Gates recent statements that it will begin replacing doctors and teachers. It's ridiculous to say LLMs are incredibly useful and valuable. It's highly dubious to think they can be trusted with actual cr

You lost me. Lenses? Are you being fanciful or is this a thing?

There's a great option for small companies that aren't amenable to on-call that is underappreciated. Hire an MSP. There are companies whose entire business model is having a geo distributed team with a stack of automated monitorin

Everybody is commenting about AI, but that's barely mentioned in the article. In particular there is this quote: > The gap in wages between those with a college degree and those without one grew steadily beginning in 1980, but flatt

Is anyone confident in what a winning strategy might even be? The market keeps getting more crowded and yet AI is still only creating incremental value for company's that adopt it. It's not clear to me that this is going to be qui

It's a choice. Running local means personal safety and privacy. It could also mean easier compliance with any enterprise that doesn't want to share data.

I haven't seen a worthwhile innovation in phone design in at least 5 years. Everything is such a marginal gain for a smaller set of use cases. I got my kid a $150 Moto G Power like 4 years ago because it had a giant battery that lasted

Hasn't this been possible with microwaves for a long time? I remember site-to-site microwave Internet between tall buildings being used commercially in the 1990s

I have a Pixel 8a and there is a built-in feature like this already. If you connect to a protected wifi it give the option to use the camera to read the password off a sign.

Every time people have debates over the merits of languages I always put developer environment at the top of my list. Build tools, IDE, readable stack traces. Those things boost productivity for more than concise list comprehensions or any

Unlikely as it seems, does he actually run the company anymore? He's running a bunch of other companies and apparently the federal government. I wonder when is the last time he attended a Tesla meeting. He really should hand the reins.

They may also calculate that a big announcement is all he wants and follow through is optional.

This is my point though. Inside Out 2 suffered from high expectations. If Pixar never existed and Inside Out 2 came from an unknown studio it would have blown you away.

I adored Flow. It's hard to say it was truly "better" than Inside Out 2. I think part of the calculation has to be that everyone expected Pixar to deliver something top notch so it only really met expectations. Flow was made

Also they worked as a shared service taking fees from agencies that required their services and did not have any specific appropriation in the federal budget. This was pure spite and not cost saving at all.

That's incredibly sanguine. Russia has been annexing territory and this was a gambit to take a huge chunk by force. If they had rolled over Ukraine in weeks as many predicted they'd have pointed their guns at Belarus and Georgia a

Handy rule of thumb: Nobody plays 4d chess. Especially with Trump, what you see is what you get. He does not have a complex ulterior motive. He is capitulating to Russia because he thinks it will be better for himself personally.

Marco Rubio was there with an expression like his soul had left his body.

Credit to Biden who set the tone. He was very fast and forceful in backing Ukraine even when the general assumption was that they had no chance. Europe was willing to step up since then and will have to carry them from now on.

What we're saying is the "something" to be done is something else. What is the goal? What is the measurable objective? What is an acceptable cost? None of that has been made clear. They are actively lying about how much spend
