Incentives are key. If Congress does not present a balanced budget then there has to be consequences. Many other countries work this way. No balanced budget forthcoming? Then there is an immediate collapse of the current government or rulin

My understanding is that unique historical, cultural, and even geographical factors have led to this outcome for Oman. I would encourage you to read up on the history of the country to understand the nuance here and not paint with such a br

The article is the most blatant AI slop I’ve ever seen. Neuromancer is iconic in a way that needs no clumsy metaphor or equivocating awkward comparison. It’s like reading a biography of George Washington and the “author” keeps reaching for

"Prosperity" implies that the problem is folks smart enough to not have children beyond the means to raise them into a similar or better lifestyle. I prefer "Precarity" induced fertility collapse. Down here in the mud I

Corollary: My income from living a well meaning life is not sufficient to have children. Having children while working for a non-profit in 2025 means living in precarity. While my individual choices have a negligible impact on the direction

I hope you are right, but my understanding is that the high headcount in engineering could, in large part, be offset by American tax exemptions for engineering salaries and that this exemption is being actively sunset. See: https:/&#x

Not only that, but the process described is how you train a junior dev. There, at least, the wasted time results in the training of a human being who can become sophisticated enough to become a trusted independent implementer in a relativel

Everyone is doing their job as private entities with their own standards... except the government who are supposed to break up monopolies. I blame elizabeth warren.

It’s true. The only check on most corporate fraud is an engineer with an Annecdote of real consequences.

What I don’t understand is the authors antagonistic framing. The complaints about moving backward because of boomer greed aren’t any less valid just because caves exist, fire remains “discovered”, and we can clone wooly mammoths.

I would call the difference: A librarian has perspective, intent, and a fierce optimism honed like the edge of a knife through abrasive contact with the world. A censor sees only wrong thought and choices without any of the qualities of a l
