But staying on topic. You were arguing that that's the more dangerous situation than the government banning books? I just don't understand this line of reasoning, especially when said "banned" books are arguably not pornography & the bans typically are targeting things like discussion about racism, homosexuality, teen pregnancy, abortions etc. It's basically "I don't like these topics & I don't want my child to think about them and have an alternate perspective shown"

May be useful to read up on the data behind the bans.

I did, partly out of curiosity, partly because I'm in a progressive town literally surrounded for a hundred miles by a sea of red.

They like Trump because he appears anti-establishment and they fear/dislike the establishment. They don't feel the establishment in place is good for them. They truly, truly struggle with finances. Many are in the military and on food stamps. Some are farmers who can't make farming work anymore. They fear immigrants because they might take jobs or bring crime (and drugs). They fear they cannot protect themselves so the want access to guns.

One common thread was the stimulus checks. They really liked the stimulus checks.

Another thing is pining for the good ol' days. Lot of that, too. No issues like pronouns muddying things up.

Generally, not racist, not sexist, but some are, just like any rando person.

Seemed to me just like regular folk who are scared and can't make ends meet like they used to, well, a long time ago. The grocery store prices that are annoying to me are truly a decision point for them.

Then when you take three steps back, and look at it objectively, it's often of their own doing. A lot, I mean a lot, of disparagement of education, even of K-12, so the means to get better employment is more of a struggle. A whole lot of drug and alcohol abuse on top of it. They are the only people I know who smoke. Lot of broken relationships and marriages. Family chaos. The image of solid salt of the earth isn't what my Trumper acquaintances (friends?) are experiencing. They are pretty desperate and really wish there was some way to get back on top of things.

So, in desperation they vote for a person that promises to make it better. And really they don't care about much else. If you want to win elections, do the chicken in every pot line.

This is all anecdotal of course, but I went to the effort, this was seven people, all of whom I'm on good terms with and converse with on a regular basis. And they were respectful of my position - that you need both conservatives (to keep what's good of the old ways) and progressives (to find new ways that are better) in the political arena to make it work. That's not a popular position, though.
There aren't any other staff or partners.
> Just ask the Italians (68 governments in 76 years)

When each and every government is non-functioning, I'd say that democracy is already destabilised or broken.
This has to be satire.

But you don't even blink when Trump hammers on about the trade war he's going to start with everyone?

Musk even had to re-iterate his point, and make sure that you'll embrace for "hardship" in the near future, should they get elected.

I mean, good luck with those gas and grocery prices. You're gonna need all the luck you can get.
Yes, but each time diluting the power of the justices individually. Right now if you have one wacko justice who decides on the basis of political ideology instead of some of the established legal theories they have 11% of a say in things. Add another few justices who are relatively normal and the ability of the wacko to swing things into dangerous territory goes down. Even if the tit-for-tat tries to cram more wackos in you have to try to convince the Senate to let more and more obviously terribly choices through.
> Your opportunity to feel represented is what the primary is for

This is why it was a major issue for me that the Democrats did not hold a primary and just decided Kamala would be the candidate. If a major part of your campaign is "vote for us or democracy dies!" it's pretty hard to swallow if you increasingly feel that your voice doesn't matter in your own party.
Thanks. I think you’re right.

He's not bought in to the anti-vax movement, and he doesn't deny anthropogenic climate change. Aren't those both quite MAGA?

> There is zero evidence he meaningfully disagrees with Trump on anything of consequence

What I just said above is evidence, I think. There certainly isn't zero evidence.

> Do you really think anyone donates $132 million dollars to something they aren't fully bought in to?

Yes — absolutely. People make compromises all the time, and employ strategies that exchange short-term (even reputational) cost for long-term benefit.

> When someone shows you who they are, you should believe them.

He has shown us who he is, so far, by his actions in building companies and promoting rationality and science. Yes, he's also recently gone down the rabbit hole of nonsense on Twitter, but for now I don't think that fully represents his underlying nature.

I have no particular dog in this fight. I'm not American and nor do I have any particular love of Musk. However, I think you're overreacting.

As for your source: I know how much he's donated, and it is a shocking amount. However, in the wake of Trump's re-election, the share price of Tesla has just gone up 15% making Musk $15 billion richer. Makes that $132 million seem like pocket change. At worst, he's a self-interested opportunistic capitalist. But he's not a moron or a religious zealot as others are.

I expect he will either indeed be a moderating influence on the administration (remember this is in the context of Trump; I'm not saying he counts as a moderate in the usual sense) or will quickly lose favour or otherwise become disenchanted with Trump and Trumpism and vacate whatever position he's granted and move on.

Also remember: I'm not arguing he's particularly sensible or even acts like a grown up (he doesn't). I'm arguing that he's not 'literally Hitler' as some seem to be insinuating.
I said 18 because that's the age I think it should be. You could make an argument it could be older, or it could be (barely) younger, 16 is the absolute youngest I would entertain. But my. whole point all this time is that there is no line in many jurisdictions.

A decade ago, I was sent for a two-month business trip to China. I didn't have a valid passport (didn't need it within EU/Schengen Area) and had to make one in a hurry. I went to take my photo unkempt but freshly shaved. While in China, I didn't bother shaving, but I did get myself a haircut, that left me almost bald (communication mishap). One month in, I had to spend a weekend in Hong Kong to renew the work visa. On my way back, I happily handed my passport to the border control officer, and then spent terrifying 15 minutes trying to convince him, his colleague and then his superior, that the clean-shaved unkempt person in the photo and the near-bald, bearded person in front of them, are in fact the same person.

It's not unique to the app, the article is just wrong. It's unique to the /developer/, which is much less specific.

> Were there a bunch of ads explaining why tariffs are going to cause pain and raise prices? And would be likely to spike inflation again?

Yes. They billed it as the "Trump tax."
IIRC that uses servers on HomePods but not anything else.
OK. Why are you trying to get me to focus on Trump being a liar and never mentioning his abnormally pacifist record which is more important?
This reminds me of when I was first starting to learn “real game development” (not using someone else's engine)—I was using C#/MonoGame, and, while having no idea what I was doing, decided I wanted vector graphics. I came across libcairo, figured out how to use it, set it all up correctly and everything… and then found that, whoops, sending 1920x1080x4 bytes to your GPU to render, 60 times a second, doesn't exactly work—for reasons that were incredibly obvious, in retrospect! At least it didn't cost me a million bucks to learn from my mistake.
The economy, cost of living, no meaningful or high-paying jobs, the crackdown on Cryptocurrency, the way mainstream media and other mediums treat the right lead to Trump's second Term, in my opinion.
The tolls are
1. Used to fix toll lanes, much more prevalent now than in the past
2. Payments to private companies who siphon the proceeds out of the area they services

Gas tax is much better in this regard, but all of these are pretty extortionary.

Why would it increase supply? You've reduced international supply in exchange for increasing domestic supply.

I have the 7950x, and if I set it to 65W eco mode, I still have basically the same geekbench score

65W:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/6126001

105W:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5821065

I actually haven't tested it with 170W (which is the default for the 7950x) for whatever reason, but the average 7950x score on geekbench is basically the same as my geekbench scores with lower than normal TDP.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same is possible with the newer CPUs.

Nice added bonus is that my PC fans barely spin (not at audible speeds)

Pop music isn't gruel. A lot of it may be slop, but it's deeply appealing. Somebody somewhere solved for what "works", and a million copycats cloned it with minimal effort because it works.

So don't think gruel. It's more along the line of... McDonald's. Bad food, but it's appealing. And people do bond over it, or at least they used to before people stopped caring and fast food places became utter hellscapes. You still see kids bonding over McD's in Japan.

"Property of" is an abstraction quickly lost when the chips are down; there is no "Essential" property of something, and your honoring of such an idea (or lack thereof) is a direct reflection of your beliefs and values; and, more importantly, your motivations.
> Israel's wars: US support continues.

This means US soldiers dying in Iran if the escalation continues. I’d hardly call that “generally isolationist”.

Israel has no chance of fighting Iran without US troops. Trump received a hefty amount of Zionist money this time around (Bill Ackman swinging right is crazy) and is cozy with pompeo et al. The writing is on the wall.

We cannot go to a pre-globalization time. Alea iacta est. The only way for tariffs to work against BRICS would be a unilateral tariff which would affect all American commerce.

Empowering AI Agents on Solana
We built a system that lets AI agents trade autonomously on Solana within strict security boundaries using GLAM protocol's fine-grained access controls. Our AI managed an index fund by swapping between SOL and USDC, rebalancing the portfolio while staying within preset limits—all actions verifiable on-chain. This demonstrates secure, autonomous AI trading directly on the blockchain.
Haha, yeah, forget it. Too much bureaucracy.

But I agree, doing something like this would address quite a few issues people have.

Which party would tackle that though? I can't think of any.
Interesting that 2 similar problems - water rise and population increase - are treated that differently, i.e. it is considered normal that the government would build levies/etc. while the government building housing is an abomination.
As a bystander, I appreciate your openness and willingness. However, I'm not sure if the misunderstanding here is a language issue or the issue about kids.

Solution to your problems is not Trump. I lived in totaliterain an authocratic regimes. He has similar tendencies. He is going to screw not only America's economy but also the whole world's economy. He is not going to solve your problems but his own problems. Just like Erdoğan and Putin he doesn't care about ordinary people. When you think that it cannot get any more bad it will get more bad. I lived in totaliterian an authocratic regimes.

> My payment for public healthcare is also at the maximum around 1k€/month and similar wage taxes [...]

That's not possible. Either you lied or didn't fill out the Bürgergeld calculator correctly.

If you make enough money to get to the Jahresarbeitsentgeltgrenze so you pay the maximum of 843.53€ for public healthcare, then you at least should get 3.213€ a month "auf die Hand". If you get you apartment payed and 563€ if you are alone or 506€ if you are married. Yes you get "extra" money if you have kids, but FUNFACT: Kids cost money.

All political landscape is FUBAR. But in part that because there are unlimited different opinions but only a handful of party's.

Yeah sure, the german car industry will be great again with this E-Fuel bullshit and then with lesser taxes the profits will trickle down to everyone.

It doesn't help that they've let retailers merge into monopolies for the last 40 years.
And I assume this mythical 1.1 program does of course do a lot more than System.out.println and the reason that it took until recently, in part thanks to the Log4J fiasco, for 8 (almost 11 years old) to no longer be the most widely used version, was just superstition?

So basically consistent with 2016 and 2020: Most polls have a 2-5 point bias in favor of Democrats. Maybe a bit improved from previous elections.

In terms of face-to-face conversations, I've never once had these insults thrown at me. This is somewhat expected, as in my experience, most people are far less confrontational in these situations. I would say a majority of it comes from:

- Group "watercooler" discussions at work where people parrot vilifying language that targets groups I identify with (I do work at a _very_ left-leaning workplace)

- Community events that I have participated in, where people were not necessarily attacking me personally, but were hurling insults at our group

- The media. This one is fairly self-documenting.

As I mentioned in another reply, since I fall in the middle, I often get negative rhetoric from both sides. But only one has stooped to the levels of vitriol that have often left me shocked (for example, that I should forcibly have my genitals removed so as to prevent procreation).

Every monorepo I've ever met (n=3) has some kind of radioactive DMZ that everybody is afraid to touch because it's not clear who owns it but it is clear from its quality that you don't want to be the last person who touched it because then maybe somebody will think that you own it. It's usually called "core" or somesuch.

Separate repos for each team means that when two teams own components that need to interact, they have to expose a "public" interface to the other team--which is the kind of disciplined engineering work that we should be striving for. The monorepo-alternative is that you solve it in the DMZ where it feels less like engineering and more like some kind of multiparty political endeavor where PR reviewers of dubious stakeholder status are using the exercise to further agendas which are unrelated to the feature except that it somehow proves them right about whatever architectural point is recently contentious.

Plus, it's always harder to remove something from the DMZ than to add it, so it's always growing and there's this sort of gravitational attractor which, eventually starts warping time such that PR's take longer to merge the closer they are to it.

Better to just do the "hard" work of maintaining versioned interfaces with documented compatibility (backed by tests). You can always decide to collapse your codebase into a black hole later--but once you start on that path you may never escape.
Nah, it was his former son, now daughter Xavier Musk. Elon is basically dead to her and Musk perceives it as if his son died.

yeah, and I would have expected nothing less. from my personal experience, the photos were required to be recent. just based on your having visited a barber would signal to me that the photos were not recent. even if you visited the barber while you waited for the 1-Hour Photo guy to finish, a logical person would realize this was not going to work out well
> With this approach, a single PR can atomically merge code and update one or more release specifications (triggering CD for those components), if and when that is a sensible thing to do.

How do you avoid the chicken-and-egg problem? Like if the k8s manifest contains a container tag, and the tag is created by CI when the PR is merged to main, it would seem you can’t add code and deploy that code in the same PR.
I'm saying that because I recently read somewhere that it needed a civil war to modify the Constitution and make it a democracy. The article was making the point that it was purposely not designed as a democracy at first.

That's very good. And it's from 2021. Since then:

- Starship is actually launching now

- Boeing's reputation and credibility are in tatters

- Trump won with heavy support from Musk.

Expect a new head of NASA who is pro-Musk, and a cancellation of the Senate Launch System.

On the other hand, it's not clear what a Moon base is good for. The ISS isn't very useful.
