The requirements to amend the Constitution are clear: a 2/3 supermajority in each chamber of Congress, followed by 3/4 states ratifying it. Neither chamber comes close to clearing that bar, let alone the state margins.

So this discussion is pretty confusing to me, because the Trump administration objectively does not have the level of support you seem to think they do. Are you saying the incoming administration should get a little amendment as a treat? Are you just not aware of the procedure? Where’s the disconnect here?
There will be. I'm pretty optimistic about the problem I am solving. More so, willing to learn from experts in the process.
Well, they find the space to store their trash right now. So they definitely have enough space. The amount of trash would presumably roughly be the same before and after this change.

Eg they could sacrifice some street parking spots for the bins.

They could even charge the bins the same amount of money they charge for street parking (and fold these costs into the costs for trash disposal they charge trash producers).

> Trump was voted in to blow up the entrenched bureaucratic state

None of the exit polls makes this claim.
So what does action look like? Half the country voted for this, we can't act surprised this is happening. We heard Trump's words loud and clear and half the country pretended to not listen or not care because "the liberals were ruining our country".

What can we do, truthfully? I've wrote to elected officials who I haven't heard a peep from. Why aren't the people in charge taking lead to stop this? Genuine question. What can we do? Because the last paragraph in this article makes it sound like violence is the next step which is not something I personally advocate for myself.

> That’s all well and good until innocent people get caught in the net.

Is your position that no innocent people were convicted of crimes before the reforms, or that innocent people do not get caught in the crimes that have been reduced so dramatically?

> How many thousands of young people are worth incarcerating indefinitely and without legal recourse for the benefit of society?

And how many young people are not killed or maimed or dragged into a life of crime indefinitely and without recourse in the alternative?

As I said, I acknowledge the issues with it, but no social policy is perfect and all social policy is a balance. You can't pull out "human rights" as a trump card to say Bukele's policies are bad or worse than before. Because you are confining and defining human rights in a very narrow specific way, and that does not account for many other rights of many other classes of people.
They don't want Bitcoin in exchange. Seems entirely reasonable to me given how much the value of cryptocurrency fluctuates with low predictability. They could get paid in it one day and lose half the value the next.
The site is run and moderated by VC tech bros and people who make their money from them. Everything should make sense once you realize that.
Yeah, I think it's all those iframes. I'm seeing something weird on my Linux desktop - all the godbolt iframes crash on reload unless I have another tab with godbolt open. I didn't see anything obvious in Chrome's log.

I can't replicate the crash at all on my Linux cloud VM though. Usually the only difference there is that advertisers tend to not buy ads for clients on cloud IPs.

No, it's not. Just because a union opposes something doesn't mean it would cause unemployment.
The IMF feels bitcoin is a risky asset and doesn’t want to be a part of that gamble when making its loan. The IMF has a history of making lots of conditions they feel minimize risk.

To me it looks more like my bank mandating I carry certain kinds of insurance in the terms of my mortgage than a political bias, but I am not an expert.

This. Bitcoin proponents often claim that eventually everyone will use Bitcoin for payments ("Finally no more governments or central banks!") and that's why it will increase in value, so everyone should invest in BTC.

But this argument is fundamentally flawed: A currency, in order for it to work (in order for people to be able to trust it), needs to be stable in value. Which contradicts it being an investment vehicle and drastically varying in value over time.
Or alternatively, it's what you get for allowing unions. (At least unions that have special extra rights compared to any old club that people can form.)

Ask HN: Do you know travel blogs that have animated SVG maps of their travels?
I'm searching for a travel blog that wrote a tutorial on how they created custom SVG animations for the routes he took along his trips.

I've been banging my head against Google for a solid 3-4 hours at this point but it is pointless to try to search something there these days so I come here.

I remember that the blogger in question was into photography and photographed the Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) in New Zealand during early morning with no people there and wrote a post about the process. And of course they had these small SVG animations of their trips at the top of their posts, with a map displaying the route they took, animating the path.

They wrote a pretty in-depth article about how they accomplished this with the help of some custom JS and SVG animations too and I am after that article.

If you know the name of the blog that would absolutely make my day!

Please also feel free to answer if you know anything similar to the title of the blog where somebody has created stylized animated SVG maps of their trips and documented the process they used to create those.

While people will always need to buy the essentials, I do buy that a deflationary currency could discourage discretionary spending.

Will you eat your words and admit you are wrong if Musk frees up a significant fraction of the budget?
Human rights of victims of these criminals were being routinely trashed and ignored before Bukele's reforms, so that's just not a trump card. His progressive reforms have significantly improved society for the greater good and has stood up for human rights that were being trampled, it is also against the conservative status quo thinking of how to deal with crime, so it very much fits the dictionary definition of progressive. Just not the elitist status quo definition of the word (ironically, they are conservative by at least some definitions).
It's quite disheartening how the messaging is regurgitated like GP's comment. It's the fourth or fifth comment that I've read in the past day on HN repeating the same empty platitudes.

I said before and I'll keep repeating: if even what was supposedly the well-educated cohort of the American population, the ones accessing this forum, are falling for this then I've lost the vast majority of hope I had for the USA.

Even the ones with full access to education, and knowledge are choosing to be this stupid... I can't imagine how it is for the uneducated.

Ask HN: Why is air traffic control radio comms so poor?
I have been following Blancolirio's videos about the DC mid-air collision and every time I hear ATC audio I am shocked that these are people who communicate professionally in a safety critical field. In particular in today's video[0] there is a lot of audio comms between the tower and the two aircraft (around 6:30 in this video). I am a native English speaker who consumes a lot of American content, so it's not about my own comprehension or deciphering American accents.

I literally would have no idea what these guys are saying if there weren't subtitles. Even with subtitles I struggle to keep up.

1. The audio quality is extremely poor. I have to believe that the receivers in the tower and on the aircraft must give a better quality than this. I find it impossible to believe this quality of audio would be acceptable in 2025.

2. More importantly, the pilots and ATC folks speak excessively quickly and do not enunciate at all. It almost feels like they are intentionally speaking in an incomprehensible way. I'm sure some pilots will come and say that this is just how they speak in the business and you adjust to it, but to me it feels unacceptable. I have had jobs where I spent a lot of time on CB and RT radios and we intentionally speak clearly and enunciate. We do not slur or blur words together.

What is going on here?

I hope the recent congestion charge can slowly change the culture towards market pricing for parking spots, too.

And I hope they make the congestion charge more dynamic. Here in Singapore where we had congestion charging even long before London, we have some electric gizmos that measure congestion and adjust the charge dynamically. Basically, if traffic slows down, they hike the charge. If traffic flows smoothly enough, they lower the charge.

>What can we do, truthfully?

Put up a better candidate through a transparent process next time and stop the hysterics that alienate the majority of the population. Denying the reality of the poor quality of the candidate and continuing to be loud about things that only are believed in extremist bubbles is how you get even more of what you do not want. Remember, impressing people who think just like you isn't outreach, it's insulating and isolating.

Never forget the EU is run by lobbies by design. So usually those scary regulations are not what they seem to be.

Here is what happened in most corporations when GDPR came out:

- An new Chief Privacy Officer would be appointed,

- A series of studies would be conducted by big consulting firms with a review of all processes and data flow across the organisation,

- After many meeting they would conclude that a move to the cloud (one of the big ones) is the best and safest approach. The Chief Privacy and Legal Officer would put their stamp on it with some reservations,

- This would usually accelerate a lot of outsourcing and/or workforce reduction in IT,

- Bonus if a big "data governance" platform is bought and half implemented.

Can President Trump Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?

According to Just Security, Trump can drastically curtail USAID with executive actions alone; however, he “may not unilaterally override” a statute by executive order. USAID was established by statute as its own agency via Congress in 1998 after first being created by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. Since an act of Congress established it as an independent agency, an act of Congress would be necessary to dissolve it.

allowing edges to have edges is something that RDF* allows.

Property graphs DBs like Neo4j don't support it but you can do it by using a node as a relationship. This is called a metanode or a hypernode. The need for this is mitigated somewhat by the fact that property graphs allow edges to have properties themselves. so you would use

(Alice)-[:LIVES_IN{valid_from:2020,valid_to:2024}]-(USA)

Edit: Read the paper and it is actually an attempt to unify the RDF, RDF* and property graph data models which is VERY interesting.
