There doesn't seem to be anything interesting in this article, it's simply a Red Channels style blacklist against young people who are auditing a government program. The only reason this was published is because Wired is an intelligence outlet (and has always been.) Otherwise, the publishing of random government auditors' uninteresting resumes would obviously be considered harassment (if not doxxing, like Musk barked.)

Really, all this article says is that if you are an auditor for the commission appointed by the president, we will make sure that this comes up in an aggressively negative way when somebody who you want to work for googles you. It's pure intimidation, masquerading as journalism. It's somehow worse than Bill Ackman hiring trucks with the names of college students protesting a genocide being blasted as antisemites. At least Bill Ackman isn't pretending to be a journalist.

edit: every single article by this "disinformation expert" has been an anti-Trump or anti-Musk article. She has no other beat.
Developers Should Learn Design
Demonstrably untrue. "We" make performative mutterings online while taking literally no concrete action at a personal or professional level to advance solutions to any of the myriad things we claim to care about. Conclusion: what people actually care about is online optics.
"unless the sergeant at arms of the senate goes out and handcuffs them"

Capturing the courts is the first step in a fascist takeover. The Republican controlled legislature isn't going to send the sergeant at arms and arrest him.

There is nothing in the way now. "It could happen here."
There is no ablation at 400°C to 800°C, which can be achieved by forming the 'lifting body' more into the direction of larger wingspans, instead of making it falling fast like a brick. Which hasn't been done so far, because larger wingspans are impractical for rocket lift from earth, but that doesn't apply here.
> If a mechanical or technical problem was the reason of the accident and you properly took care of your car, you won’t be responsible, because you did everything that’s expected of you.

Good thing you brought this up because in the US, defective cars must be recalled and are a liability of the manufacturer. Non-effective cars are a liability of the owner.

Thus, the owner of a car is responsible by default, and manufacturer is second.

In the context of AI, the wielders of AI would be responsible by default, and manufacturers second.

The point is that there is a chain of accountability that is humans owning the equipment or manufacturing the equipment.
Trump is old and is not the leading example of a healthy person. I think there's an entirely reasonable chance that nature takes care of this one for us.

That said, I don't think it matters at all. This isn't a Trump problem. Sure, he's the figurehead, but there are ample figureheads waiting in the wings, just as malleable to the alt-reich's needs. They will be more than happy to step in and allow the current dismantling of the USA to continue, and for Something Very Else to be built in its place.
I think part of your experience with people from top schools is they know the stereotypes already exist and don’t want people outside the inner circle to use it against them.

I’ve known plenty of people from UofM who don’t talk about it either. I had a coworker get his degree from UofM. I’m not even sure how we found out, as he never talked about it, and even after getting the degree he just kept chilling in the entry level job he was comfortable in for years.
Aw shucks, too bad we gotta fund genocide on our dime. Wouldn't wanna go to jail, after all.

At least we can boycott the company with a CEO that... likes trump and Joe Rogan? That'll show 'em!

How can those Meta workers live with themselves? Just think of all the AI-slop cat videos the algorithm recommends to their geriatric userbase!

That's the _real_ genocide, I say.
They benefit from more people voting, not fewer. The valance of that issue flipped over the last few cycles.
That's even more clearly illegal. The Executive doesn't determine where money goes.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:

> The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States
I love how "both sides are the same" continues to persist, even though Biden did absolutely none of what Trump has done these last two weeks, either in terms of method or outcome. They truly could not be more different and yet people like you are like theyrethesamepicture.jpg.

> The real problem is that most computer systems can not respond this demand: "explain yourself!" They can't describes the inputs to an output, the criteria and thresholds used, the history of how thresholds have changed, or the reliability of the upstream data. They just provide a result: computer says no.

By this definition, many computer systems can. The answers are all in the logs and the source code, and the process of debugging is basically the act of holding the software accountable.

It's true that the average layperson cannot do this, but there are many real-life situations where the average layperson cannot hold other people accountable. I cannot go up to the CEO of Boeing and ask why the 737-MAX I was on yesterday had a mechanical failure, nor can I go up to Elon Musk and ask why his staff are breaking into the Treasury Department computer systems. But the board of directors of Boeing or the court system, respectively, can, at least is theory.
Yep, that's what I'm saying. They don't get to take these jobs and then complain about being "doxxed". They are public servants now.
Mimestream is a fantastic native app. Mac only though: https://mimestream.com/
Were those talks to expand it post-QLine? I'd like to see it expanded, but I thought QLine kind of took over a lot of what was intended for it.
Ah, my read of that was that as of October 21, 1998, the President would have to submit a report to close USAID (whereas previously the President did not have to submit a report). However, your reading makes more sense.
Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities with Certain Patient Monitors
If it's at some economic dominance peak is at the point at the top of an upward curve, when the acceleration has ended and the object reaches 0 velocity before coming back. It's a downward trajectory: public debt, failing infrastructure, failing manufacturing capabilities, failing leadership, failing rule of law, increased irrelevance on the world stage, and let's not get started with the culture.

If the dollar falls further from being the global reserve currency (something which both administrations did their best to ensure it will happen) that will be an even worse blow.

That there are people in bubbles believing it's all fine, or they never been better, is also a contributing factor to all this.
Want to hurt musk? Get on Bluesky and post something. Twitter losing power hurts Musk
It’s been wild to see the DOJ issue a formal legal threat, via X, at the request of Musk, within less then 24hrs

By whatever power he’s determined himself to have, he’s declared a crime for people to publicly disclose the names of his aides

Whatever will come next? No clue, but probably not good either
So it's like Steam but for games that I found lackluster 15 years ago and that haven't changed since (except for Wesnoth, which is also on Steam)
That's why you send letters asking if it would be a good idea to prominent people on both sides first.
Nah. It's big enough for individuals to perform the online ritual of Good Think, but I'm not seeing any progress or even credible solutions being worked towards. Wake me when the processed food and agricultural conglomerate megacorps have all gone bankrupt from concerted, successful, consumer advocacy and I'll start taking these claims seriously. Y'all can't even be assed to stop feeding Amazon's bottom line long enough for consumer retail to stabilize so miss me with claims of serious conservation efforts. Odds are you haven't even met a single individual in your lifetime who'd willingly make the kind of lifestyle changes that that would actually require.
Most immediately, all the people and services directly impacted. Then second order effects like the continued collapse of rule of law and related operational aspects like the systematic stripping of cybersecurity layers. Magnified by all this happening in one of the largest countries in the world + with most other countries and their process/people. Ex: Halt of congressionally-approved funding of hospitals, schools, and cyber defense teams, and mass layoffs around the same.

It might be amusing when you are personally comfortable and do not consider the people and processes involved, but basic digging reveals this stuff. I happen to work with people like doctors, first-responders, cyber teams, military, scientists, etc whose communities are in a tailspin. It's quite vivid, and I am confused how this is even a question. The ability of people to get life-saving care is literally being removed as perishable supplies are running out and staff are working pro-bono.

A top misinformation tactic is asymmetric trolling: Ask a simple question to force the responder to spend all their time. It's hard to tell if your question is from naivete, privilege, apathy, a broken media diet, trolling, or what.
Fair enough; my initial read was that this meant that as of October 21, 1998 reports would be required (whereas previously they weren't), but honestly I think that was the wrong read and you're right.
There isn't necessarily a contradiction there; Roe v. Wade was objectively a bad ruling. It was a wild reach to suggest that the US constitution implied anything about abortion; the question is basically whether or not it counts as murder and in the US that is supposed to be resolved by state legislators.

I'm in that camp, I'm extremely tolerant of abortion but the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade was good jurisprudence. Probably not well advised, if they're going to burn political capital there are more important issues.
> Lots options. All require a united front.

So in other words "no options" because we will never have a unified front in the legislative branch.
Because virtually nobody is allergic to mosquito bites. Accelerating the blood flow/metabolism of someone maybe at risk for anaphylaxis (bee allergy) is extremely dangerous.
“X.com was … founded by Ed Ho, Harris Fricker, Elon Musk, and Christopher Payne … It merged with competitor Confinity in 2000 and the merged company changed its name to PayPal in 2001.”[1]

What is your source for this? USAID has an inspector general like every other government agency. Inspector generals are independent of the agency and part of their function is to perform audits. Congress has the same powers with regard to USAID as it has with any other agency. It can investigate, subpoena, etc. The senate must confirm nominees to lead the agency. USAID is subject to the same laws like FOIA as any other agency.

What does it even mean to say that the state department is by definition political? There are political appointees, but the overwhelming majority of the state department is career foreign service or career civil service, which are apolitical. The same is true for USAID.

None of what you're saying makes any sense or has any relation to reality.
The actual wording is: "based solely on the profiling of a natural person or on assessing their personality traits and characteristics".

The Techcrunch article oversimplifies and is borderline misleading.
Nice, can't decide what meme gif to try first.
Reminded me of this job offer from the city [0], 2 years ago! Seems it paid off then!

Searching for this post, I ended up scrolling through the HN result of "new York rats" [1]. It paints quite a story! Couldn't imagine it was such an intense topic (running for more than a decade!)

I understand you're arguing this, I'm asking where this meme came from. Independent agencies have been around for more than a century and AFAICT the idea that there's something constitutionally unsavory about them is very new. Whence came this idea? Is it something you personally invented that the rest of the right doesn't subscribe to, or are others advocating it, and if so could you refer me to what arguments they're using to justify it?
GSA houses 18F which created Direct File, which lets people file their taxes for free. This takes money out of the pockets of companies like Intuit, in which my portfolio is heavily invested. Although their stock is up 50% since the introduction of Direct File, I believe it would have been up even more without Direct File. This is taking alpha out of my portfolio and thus food out of my children’s mouths.

Not true, there are plenty of poor people being held accountable.
Didn't the Supreme Court judge that the president can't be prosecuted for crimes relating to his official duties? The only recourse is impeachment, and that requires the cooperation of his own party. The president can also pardon all the rest of his associates as required.

So good luck relying on rule of law.
Not necessarily. Many who grows up in an orphanage has living relatives.

For example many who are in an orphanage has living parents, but the social services and the courts have decided to take them into care for their own safety.

Ask HN: Is Indie SaaS Dying?
Over the last few years, the indie SaaS landscape has changed drastically.

While there are still success stories—like Fathom Analytics, Plausible, Posthog, Bannerbear, levelsio with PhotoAI and NomadList, many indie hackers are finding it harder than ever to gain traction.

Customer acquisition has become significantly more challenging. Paid ads are prohibitively expensive, SEO is increasingly competitive, and organic growth takes much longer than it used to.

At the same time, AI is commoditizing many types of software. What once required months of custom development can now be spun up in days using AI tools, making it much harder to build a defensible product.

User expectations have also skyrocketed. Customers now expect polished, feature-rich products from day one.

Is indie SaaS still a viable path for bootstrapped founders, or is the golden era behind us?
Can you use a newborn’s footprint to identify them even as an older adult? If so that truly surprises me.
Corporations are regularly "held accountable". Remember that "accountable" just means "required or expected to justify actions or decisions; responsible."

When you sue a corporation, discovery demands that they share their internal communication. You can depose key actors and require they describe the events. These actors can be cross-examined. A trial continues this. This is the very definition of "accountable".

The problem at OpenAI is that the employees were credulous children who took magic beans instead of a board seat. Legally, management is accountable to the board. In serious cultures that believe in accountability, labour demands seats on the board. In VC story-land, employees make do with vague promises with no legal force.

I do remember robots.txt and have always considered it a dumb idea. Bots will do whatever they can do or whatever their shady operators tell them to do. Anything I want hidden from bots requires authentication. The more friction the better. Even the "well behaved" bots will ignore robots.txt depending on circumstances such as scanning for malware in email links. LLM's will just be getting goatse and tubgirl (Don't google that).
What a coincident of releasing deep research for your product when one of your main competitors has DeepSeek R1 as their best performant version /s

Seriously, for the past 20+ years it's hard to imagine doing research without Google platform namely Google Search, Scholar, Patent and Book, but now it seems agent AI based on LLM is the way to. In twenty years in the future it will be hard to imagine that doing research without them. But as many people already pointed out Google probably the best company by far to perform this emerging AI based research. In data eco-system terms (refer to any book on data engineering), Google has already perform has the most important data preparation and data engineering upstream activities including data ingestion and transformation. Now given their vast amount of processed data they can just serve it to downstream data analytics or AI for performing research with minimum error/hallucinations as possible. According to Google there is no moat for any companies against open source LLM, but if any company that can has the moat it will be Google itself.
> They can vote against everything.

Have they voted on a single thing yet except the Laken Riley Act? (Which they probably shouldn't have done, but anyway.) This administration is not waiting on Congress to do anything.

But that aside, I agree that they need to start getting back attention. Being absolutely silent except for individuals saying things that are only reported on Bluesky is not enough to be taking back control of attention.
It's (at least in some cases) malice, not stupidity.

By putting cookie banners everywhere and pretending that they are a requirement of the GDPR, the owners of the websites (or of the tracking systems attached to those websites) (1) provide an opportunity for people to say "yes" to tracking they would almost certainly actually prefer not to happen, and (2) inflict an annoyance on people and blame it on the GDPR.

The result: huge numbers of people think that the GDPR is a stupid law whose main effect is to produce unnecessary cookie banners, and argue against any other legislation that looks like it, and resent the organization responsible for it.

Which reduces the likely future amount of legislation that might get in the way of extracting the maximum in profit by spying on people and selling their personal information to advertisers.

Which is ... not a stupid thing to do, if you are in the business of spying on people and selling their personal information to advertisers.

Ever seen "Johnny English Strikes Again"? I'm sure Musk did, and is now implementing Jason Volta's plan as just retribution for the not-so-subtle reference hidden in the villain's electric name.
What if instead you bound your own DNS server to localhost:53 inside the network namespace? I suppose you'd still have to mess with /etc/resolv.conf in case it points to hardcoded public resolvers instead like mine does.
