Civilian elites, however they're defined, have acolytes, clients and admirers. They wouldn't be elite if they didn't. If their path to power is by allying themselves with a coherent organization with guns and a fair chance of success, and then ordering, dragging or cajoling their followers along, it doesn't surprise me that there's significant civilian support for coups. When the dust settles after a successful coup, the elites, civilian and military, will be better off; which was the point in the first place. Of course, their followers and supporters are, at best, where they always were, but often worse off.
The elite's rationale for action might be cloaked in an aura of national salvation, but patriotism of this form is truly the last refuge of a scoundrel.
you think trump is going help programmers in the US at all? How? Trump merchandise isn't made in the US. His daughters brands are manufactured in Asia.

Election messages need to appeal to the lowest common denominator of education

Republicans understand that the less educated a voter is, the more likely they are to vote R. It's not a coincidence that they are trying to gut the education system.

If you're unsure, hire a professional. Think of it as paying 0.02% as insurance against mistakes.
Do you genuinely believe that congress being "R controlled" means all those Rs will be happy with Trump pissing on the constitution? Do you genuinely believe that? That being happy to have Trump in office a second term (as is allowed and normal) is the same as wanting him to be dictator? Do you think every single Republican elected this cycle is a Trump supporter, period?

Same with SCOTUS. They're appointed for life. What in the world makes you think they are more loyal to Trump than to the foundation of the US? Hint: they're not. 2/3 of his SCOTUS appointments are Federalist Society members, who LOVEEE the constitution).
> the political left have failed to show up with an answer, a policy, a plan -- anything, really.

This is factually untrue. U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 was a legislative bill that was proposed by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.[0] It died in committee.

The reality is that illegal immigration is good for ALL business (regardless of whether you are democrat or republican) in the US. This is the hush-hush wink-wink reality that most politicians understand but would never say publicly. They create appearances they are doing something (e.g. creating legislation that might fix the problem) but knowing it won't ever pass in a partisan legislative body.

> [PoS] enables the rich to seize control of the whole system, and that would enable them to start stealing people's money

This is no more true for PoS than it is for PoW. A 51% miner can't directly steal people's money, because users will reject a chain that does that, even if it's the longest chain. Same goes for a 51% staker. The attacker could double spend in both cases, but with Ethereum the attacker could only do that once, and then would lose all its stake.

And with Ethereum there are no particular "core wallet developer accounts." There's a protocol, an open research community, and a bunch of independent client teams which all have to agree on any changes. Their meetings are public. Ultimately, just as with Bitcoin, it's up to the users whether to run any updates or not.
It's possible there are just more lines of dialogue in Barbie than It, given the conventions around each genre. I haven't seen It, but I can assume with It being a horror film there are longer periods with no dialogue for suspense etc.

trump is so anti-war he increased troop presence in the middle east while biden pulled out of afghanistan
Right, if we simply ignore the plethora of racist things said at trump rallies. Oh, and all the explicitly anti-trans political ads.

People aren't saying this, the GOP is saying this and then people just repeat it back to them. You can't claim you're not anti-trans when the political ads of the candidates you support depict trans women as burly grown men who beat up little girls.

I mean, it's so hyperbolic it would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing.
Because we are evolved, embodied beings interacting with other embodied beings. We are not disembodied atomistic work units compelled to follow social norms invented by maladjusted corporate "ethicists".
The general consensus was to avoid high unemployment as that would anger voters.

Now we know high inflation is much much worse in the minds of voters.
Lib migration really hasn't worked out well for Democrats. Texas is their white whale and a big reason they haven't won it is because they just change to another version of their same bubble and bring center-right people with them.

- "but it is not a bird in the hand."

Kind of amusing to read this in the context of a "city on Mars" discussion :)

- "Presumably they use a closed fuel cycle which is more like"

I doubt this. Nuclear fuel reprocessing is a very invasive thing—a difficult industrial process that's hard to get working even on Earth, let alone resource-constrained environments like a putative Mars settlement. I doubt metal-fuel reprocessing like what you linked with the EBR changes the equation much.

Reliability and maintenance would be the top drivers here. You'd end up with something like the nuclear submarine solution: tiny, self-contained systems that (in the sub case) are just replaced once every 30 years for refueling. This drives you to choose 90% HEU as your fuel. Beyond what submarines have as their requirements, you're, in addition, critically constrained on mass. That, I think, strongly drives you to unmoderated fast reactors: small, dense cores with lightweight coolants like sodium. From memory, I believe all of the 30+ space reactors that were actually built were HEU fast reactors with Na or NaK coolant. (There's actually droplets of radioactive NaK in Earth orbit right now, according to Wikipedia, because one of them leaked).

And that inflation was caused largely by pre-Biden Trump policies of giving tax-breaks to billionaires and allowing blatant corporate greed. Inflation is not a quick phenomenon. It has lags. It has stickiness. People don't know this because they don't take any economics.

And, more importantly, today's inflation is by large firms exerting their market control and monopolistic tendencies. How many grocery companies are there and in their region? Kroger is trying to buy out Albertsons to completely dominate the midwest, to lower quality and increase prices like all monopolists. What needs to be done is anti-trust enforcement which Biden has attempted. But none of this is known by 90% of the country and 0% of Trump voters.

> I expect solar infrastructure for Mars would be done in orbit and beamed down.

Remember that Mars' atmospheric pressure is a tiny fraction of that on Earth, so the performance difference between a solar panel in orbit, and on the surface, is negligible (until a dust storm starts). So there's no reason to consider putting them in orbit, especially considering the much higher complexity and power losses involved in delivering power to the surface.
It's not been a hugely impactful country in the way that the roman empire was, so at the very least it's not the latter. I know people like to say "pax americana" was a thing, but let's be real - even when the US was actually doing well it wasn't a force for peace and development.
These are programs, not shell commands.
To give you a bit of perspective,the democrats are right of the Conservatives in the UK.

So they would kinda feel feel far-rightish to us only because the democrats are more conservative than ours
This seems like you're agreeing that policies don't matter? Trump's policies are actively hostile to decreasing grocery prices.

I think what you're saying here is that neither policies nor personalities matter as much as outcomes. And yep, that seems right.

And Trump owns those outcomes now for the next few years, for better or worse.

The deflation of a currency is when the currency gets more expensive, not cheaper. It's true that other goods get cheaper when measured in that currency. But what we're discussing here is whether, and how, the continued deflation of Bitcoin discourages its use as a medium of exchange, not whether some hypothetical deflation of the dollar would discourage the use of other goods such as memory cards and Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
Women actually deserve a constitutional amendment to protect their rights, not a court ruling of the most dubious jurisprudence. Because of Roe V. Wade the political will create a new actually applicable amendment was never pursued - a bandaide that eventually fell off.

Part of the problem is that most people lack the cognitive capacity to understand the legal argumentation of Roe V. Wade and how shaky it was and so they out of incompetence set themselves up as women's rights constitutional amendment obstructionists

Instead, they ran ads implying that husbands were trying to force their wives to vote trump, a narrative that comforts their own biases but does nothing for the people they needed to convince.

I imagine something like the Switch is a great revenue stream for nvidia. It's relatively easy work and they'll be minting Switch 2s, thus paying licensing fees, well into the 2030s.

Inflation being a years-long painful problem to wrestle with was inevitable with all the stimulus pumped in to keep us afloat through the pandemic. We could have fared far worse, and many countries did. I don't know why the left didn't push on this argument harder to defend themselves.

Gold transactions are much cheaper.
That is the one such development I can think of in recent history. We'll see if this becomes more common as far-right parties become more mainstream, but I'm not holding my breath.

On the other hand, I've seen US-influenced and Russia-influenced movements happily cooperate for years now. There's been some tensions over which side to support when the war in Ukraine broke out, but so far it hasn't prevented these same groups clashing on this specific issue to cooperate on other issues.
So many people forget that men are expected to fight wars or register to be drafted on the sole basis of being born male. Many are circumcised for the same reason (born male). Where is our bodily autonomy? Where is our choice?

> Until nation-states fund and invest in the infrastructure, finding your confidence in cryptocurrency with little to no regulation is a massive risk.

There are many arguments against bitcoin, but I have a hard time investing in this one.

A lot of the people investing in bitcoin are doing so specifically to hedge against nation-states. It is decentralized FOSS based on sound mathematics. If this was really a concern, wouldn't people be skeptical of TLS to access your bank? One of the most popular TLS algorithms was written largely by DJB (not a nation-state).
In theory if you delete something you have to recompute global illumination and remove cast shadows in the immediate environment of the removed object, but that information is baked in the gaussian splats. I think that's the kind of limitation the parent comment is talking about.
I don't think the US is the only place where US companies sell things. What about when tariffs are placed on US items, demand will drop with US made things.
I’ve got to assume that fab capacity for SoC ships verses H100s are two different things. With the automotive industry down there could be spare capacity ?
It sure feels like ranked choice voting would help a lot.
The problem with your argument is that this was only 8 months or so ago, and so we all remember how this bill was championed and lauded by the Republicans until Trump said “vote against it because I don’t want the Democrats to have a win”.
Only one of those political parties kept my kid from going to school for two years. Only one of them chained up their playground and shut down their community. Only one of them forced small businesses to close, cheered on when people where getting their cars towed from trailheads. Only one of them forced state employees to get a so-called vaccine or lose their job.

This is fall out from democrats disastrous covid policies. Well deserved fall out.
Has any of your rights or space been materially invaded by whoever "they" are? Or is it all just communal paranoia?
Good point. And don't forget the dynamically changing environment responding with a quick death for any false path.

I think it is stupid to vote based on how a politician talks rather than the expected impact of their proposed policies, though of course I realize that that’s how elections have been decided in practice for as long as representative governments have existed.

It cannot even get to $100k despite endless predictions over the past 5+ years it would. Each cycle is getting subsequently smaller. If anything, it's reached the final stage in which the supply of new buyers to prop up the price, let alone new highs, is exhausted.

Nader is the kind of leader we need, but don’t deserve.

Dems employed some similar strategies with Sanders in 2016, despite his decision to run as a Democrat.

It is interesting to look at the intersection of positions held by the likes of Ralph Nader and Ron Paul, especially where they differ from their respective “most aligned” mainstream party platforms, where they are marginalized. The most prevalent of these are the Military and Prison Industrial Complexes, and in my anecdotal experience 98% of the people agree regardless of their socio-economic status
It's not sexual harassment, it's flattery to get you to do a favor for them. They would never sleep with you. It's also extremely normal and anodyne.

Why do men think sexism is symmetrical? The reason sexual overtures from men are a problem is because they are usually serious and they are statistically threatening, because men often hurt women who don't respond to them in a way they deem appropriate. You would never fear this woman.
The ONLY way this gets fixed is if ranked choice voting is put in place. But this also requires the people in power implement it. Good luck with that.
I really love when backwards compatibility is incorporated in new products. I’m pleasantly surprised because Nintendo has been bit so many times. For example GameCube compatibility on Wii is why we had hacked Wii so quickly.
I mean, we were just talking about tariffs, not whatever else may be in their plans.

But point taken, you think that the net result will be worse for poor people. I don’t necessarily disagree, it just seems that this one bit might be somewhat positive for the poor.

I think this is somewhat true but not fully true. Elections aren't the only way in which policy gets communicated and so this bit-level analysis doesn't capture it fully IMO. If you look at border policy, for instance, Democrats have moved to the right not because of election mechanisms like primaries, but through public opinion.
You can’t explain things like that to most voters, it just won’t work.
Funny you mention contraception here, that's another thing the GOP is openly talking about making more difficult for people to access.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/thomas-wants-...

Even then, no contraception is 100% effective. The only 100% effective thing is abstinence. Just like getting into a car accident, the only way to not have any risk is to not get in the car. But good luck living in the US without getting in a car or being around moving cars.

I'm just pointing out the reality of their choices. They're acting like the only people who get a D&C are people who planned to get one before they were even pregnant. Most people who get this kind of care don't go into it planning on doing it. It's like thinking people planned to break their legs or planned to get cancer.
> Trump's message now is way more positive.

I feel like I've been listening to a very different Trump than you have. Most of what he says involves demonizing various groups of people, cozying up to dictators, or putting his political opponents in jail. His rallies are about stoking outrage and fear.

> It's a message of peace with Russia

At the expense of Ukraine's sovereignty.

Is peace with Russia going to look like what happened with Afghanistan? The withdrawal plan and timeline was Trump's, not Biden's.

> making America healthy again

Every concrete proposal of his (not that he has many) that I've heard will bring us back on the inflation train, increase the deficit, reverse our declining reliance on fossil fuels, and increase income inequality even further. And on top of that he'll even further paralyze the federal government. Which is of course the conservative agenda in a nutshell: dismantle the federal government and let the states decide their fates, except where they want to impose their "values" on blue states.

> getting competent people in government (Musk), etc.

If you think Musk is competent and should be anywhere near government, our fundamentals are so different that there's probably no point in discussing it further.
