Kind of reminds me of being on vacation with my family in Michigan and the only place with cell reception was a construction site nearby.

The power of the purse is the authority of the United States Congress to levy taxes and control government spending. It's a key part of the separation of powers in the Constitution and a check on the executive branch.

What Trump and Musk are doing with DOGE and the federal payment system is in blatant violation of this separation of powers.

Billionaires hold very little legal tender.

The term "Billionaire" refers to a person who has total assets over a billion. In most cases those assets are shares in some company (or companies). It's not like they have a billion in their sock drawer.

By contrast, when at rest in my wallet, bitcoin is "dormant". It's not earning any interest and other not circulating in the economy. The only "growth" is capital growth.

That growth is predicted on demand outstripping supply. Or on "bigger fools". When the fools run out you're left with tulips.
> Adderral and vyvanse work for a couple days and then I build a tolerance

Have you been able to go through titration and dose adjustment with a (competent) psychiatrist? When starting or restarting meds it's expected for the first few days (or more) to have a more obvious impact. After your body has adjusted to being on the meds, if the meds aren't helping (or are outright making things worse, like making you sleepy), you could just need a higher dose. The adjustment period is a bit different than the issue of proper long term tolerance.

There's a fair few options as far as stimulant meds go, and the combinations of drugs, release profiles, and dosages can take a bit of iteration to find what works.

There’s also nonstimulant medications used for ADHD but they're generally less effective than stimulant meds, but we're all different and maybe they'll help?
Of course there is. Who says that's what they are trying to do? What specific credentials do these children have that makes them uniquely qualified to handle this task?

It’s getting really old these are getting flagged. @dang can you do anything?

Also, unfortunately, the HN crowd are not the type of people that will do anything in the physical world. We’re too busy sitting back thinking, “There is no way anyone is stupid enough to vote for Trump.” Then we all act shocked, and mainly disappointed people are actually stupid enough. We obviously solve nothing.

Democrats don’t get out and vote. Women don’t get out and vote. If they did, Harris would would have been elected. If anyone watched her convention, they would have seen she is a good human being and would have been good for this country. It’s a damn shame where the USA is now.

Republicans get out and vote. Bush Jr. was re-elected twice. During his first term he was already being called one of the worst presidents in history. He had the devil himself Chenney as his VP for crying out loud. Republicans get out and vote. Remember this the next election.
I think the idea is that the cache is so large that hot data won't be forced out by one-hit wonders. In this 2017 talk [1], the speaker says that Twitter's SLA depends on having a 99.9% hit rate. It is very common to have extremely over provisioned remote caching tier for popular sites. That makes eviction not as important and reducing their operational costs comes by purging expired data more proactively. Hence, memcached switched from away from relying on its LRU to discard expired entries to using a sweeper. Caffeine's approach, a timing wheel, was considered but dormando felt it was too much of an internal change for memcached and the sweeper could serve multiple purposes.

>Bitcoin has only failed so far as a replacement for Visa and Mastercard. So no, nobody's using it to buy coffee.

It not being "used" in this context is referring to it not being used as legal tender. The law that was walked back was one which had made bitcoin legal tender throughout the country. As others have mentioned, it seems to have largely failed in being adopted as such, as surveys seem to indicate that less than 10% of people
in the country had used it as legal tender in the previous year.
People mostly fix some issue, or implement a feature at work. And then somebody outside can do the same in the same time.

In reality they need to look at this like onboarding a new team member.
Depends on the particular government. The ones that are heavy on hopes and prayers usually don’t do well though.
"Skaters skate not gatekeep people"

That's the overstatement of the century. In group / out group always has gatekeepers by definition.

Not sure where you grew up, but I sold skateboards at a bike & ski store for a while in the early 80's and skaters were absolute dicks about their self-enforced hierarchy. Skater culture claims to be inclusive but holy fuck that's a lie if you accidentally buy equipment just a tiny bit above your skill level.

I got to see this first hand: as the point of retail sale for their replacement parts, they confided in me because they needed to buy things from me, so they would tell me who the posers were and rip on them mercilessly. Just like any other ingroup.
Many cities have bad areas. But few have that 15 minute dynamic. OK maybe SF with the Tenderloin but even Howard St. isn't as bad as it used to be.
I enjoyed the question you posed immensely because it goes so strongly to the perceptual bias we bring to the table. I know I look with outrage at how strongly my left wing government has swung right, not for a minute believing I might have got more left wing as I got richer, older, and less exposed to the risks. "Of course I've always been left" I mutter, putting decent french butter on my croissant.
I _hate_ that I'm so pessimistic and suspicious, and I know how important early feedback and quality technical feedback can be - BUT - I could never feel comfortable sharing a budding product in a forum full of serial founders, hungry entrepreneurs and developers that are likely in the same or overlapping spaces. The only exception would be if it was a dev tool or painkiller app where the readers here were likely the intended market.

Kudos to the people that do though - these kinds of threads are very interesting to read.
As another commenter pointed out, this is just candy to act as a distraction. Trump (and Musk) want people talking about something relatively unimportant like this, and not all the messed up stuff they're doing to gut the executive branch.

> I think you are assuming too much love for the guy exists in the Congress which he is effectively obviating.

You're assuming that the founders were actually correct about a power rivalry between the branches producing a system of checks and balances between them.

As it turns out, when the whole team is rowing in the same direction, congress doesn't actually care that they've abdicated power or all responsibility to check the executive. Their personal comfort is not threatened by it, and this particular congress doesn't care about governing well.

Sure, the republic will be destroyed, but in the meantime, they'll extract a lot of value for their paymasters.

Congressmen that had a spine, and refused to do that all got primaried out.

I had the misfortune of translating CPython bytecode to Java bytecode, and I do not wish that experience on anyone:

- CPython's bytecode is extremely unstable. Not only do new opcodes are added/removed each release, the meaning of existing opcodes can change. For instance the meaning for the argument to JUMP_IF_FALSE_OR_POP changes depending on the CPython version; in CPython 3.10 and below, it is an absolute address, in CPython 3.11 and above, it a relative address.

- The documentation for the bytecode in dis tends to be outdated or outright wrong. I often had to analyze the generated bytecode to figure out what each opcode means (and then submit a corresponding PR to update said documentation). Moreover, it assumes you know how the inner details of CPython work, from the descriptor protocol to how binary operations are implemented (each of which are about 30 lines functions when written in Python).

- CPython's bytecode is extremely atypical. For instance, a for-loop keeps its iterator on the stack instead of storing it in a synthetic variable. As a result, when an exception occurs inside a for-loop, instead of the stack containing only the exception, it will also contain the for-loop iterator.

As for why I did this, I have Java calling CPython in a hot loop. Although direct FFI is fast, it causes a memory leak due to Java's and Python's Garbage collectors needing to track each other's objects. When using JPype or GraalPy, the overhead of calling Python in a Java hot-loop is massive; I got a 100x speedup from translating the CPython bytecode to Java bytecode with identical behaviour (details can be found in my blog post: https://timefold.ai/blog/java-vs-python-speed).

I strongly recommend using the AST instead (although there are no backward comparability guarantees with AST, it is far less likely to break between versions).
> legislation is kind of the point of a government in the first place

I would personally consider legislation to be but one means to an end, with the point of a (democratic) government actually being to ensure stability and prosperity for its citizens.

In that framework, "leading with legislation" doesn't make any sense—you can lead with results, but the legislation is not itself a result! Lead with development or lead with standard of living or lead with civil rights, but don't lead with legislation.

Your formulation sounds like politician's logic: "something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it". Legislation as an end in itself. Very interesting.

> the 14th extended to the children of outright criminals

A criminal is very much "subject to the jurisdiction of" the US, far more so than an illegal immigrant who if caught will likely not be imprisoned or even tried, but simply deported.

> It is simply impossible to read the debate and argue that Congress' understanding of the amendment didn't include exactly the group people today are trying to exclude.

What Congress believed at the time is not binding on today's courts if they don't want it to be, as the history of interpretation of many other parts of the constitution shows.
Politicians look at how people vote to decide how to run and how to govern.

When you vote for Kamala over Trump, you show them your preferences, and they'll run and govern in a more methodical way. The next batch of candidates gets even better.

But Trump winning means the next batch will be even worse.
But you can change the protocol – you just need to convince people to use your version, i.e. make a softfork. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Softfork

> I'm not willing to leave the company because its stock 6x'ed last year.

Are you referring to stock in a public company (RSUs) that will be deposited into your account when they vest or are you talking about illiquid “equity” (Monopoly money) in a private company?

> I'm looking for other options and advice on either what actions to take to change the situation in ways that'll make me happier and more satisfied at work, or thoughts that'll help address the feelings about this.

It seems to me that the choice is simple, assuming that you are waiting for your RSUs to vest and it is a public company, wait for it to vest and prepare to interview for another company. Don’t overindex on RSU grants. It’s just compensation (assuming it’s a public company), if you can get another company to pay you the same in cash as you think you will make this year (don’t assume anything about future returns).

And what is your priority stack? Maximizing income? Interesting work? Working at a certain level of autonomy - ie would you give up your current “staff” role to be a mid level developer at a BigTech company for more comp?

But overall the cynical take is don’t tie your happiness to your job. Do your 40 hours a week and make sure the work you do will look good for future employees and “be happy” about the money that gets deposited into your account.

But going back to your “stock”, that is real stock that gets deposited into your brokerage account isn’t it?
I've found that in some Midwest cities that weren't even necessarily blighted. I remember Kansas City at an event years ago where there was basically no one in the downtown at night. The same is somewhat true of even someplace like the Financial District of Boston after hours but there are enough people pretty close by it doesn't feel the same.
Not everything is politics. Already your president gets too much media spotlight.
These are not "individual engineers". They're government officials with seemingly vast powers which aren't yet fully understood by the public. As the article details, they seem to have the authority to demand access to most if not all of the government's computer systems; we don't yet know which of them have this authority, or what limits there are, or what review processes are in place.

That doesn't mean it's OK to call for violence against them! But Wired isn't doing that. It does mean that news outlets need to report on who they are and what they're doing, even if they fear (even if they know) that third parties might issue death threats.

It's kind of amazing that this periodic check has not been implemented already.
Ok, but the "demand pull" for clothing is not really optional. I don't see how you can argue that the demand for used clothes is more damaging than the alternative, namely new clothes. The only complication is the layer of hiring someone else to buy them, but it's pretty likely they would do that for new clothes anyway, so... what's left to argue about?

Former directors have answered this pretty openly. Anything that is left is just because it contains identifiable information for people still alive. Lots of home addresses, names of investigators, etc.
A declaration of war or an authorization of force are both Congressional approvals for use of military force against an enemy of the state. I get that's inconvenient for your argument, but they're the same.

And the president doesn't have the authority to declare war on his or her own accord, full stop, because the constitution explicitly gives that right to Congress (and no other branch).

Any convoluted timelines around requests are immaterial to those facts.

If the president uses the military to attack an enemy of the state, without Congressional approval, that's outside of his or her authority.
Perhaps you didn't, and you are still inside?
> You haven't been to a sports even in the US right?

I have, as it happens. But many people never do; the people who go to sports games might be a similar group to the people who answer phone calls, but they're not a representative sample of the whole population by any means.

I can't rebut this without being insulting, or dismissive of the situation you have to live in. I am sorry you are living in such constraint. I continue to believe you are wrong "less tax" will fix your problem but I can say that from the comfort of an economy with a fully hypothicated medicare tax, and something approaching universal health coverage.

I do not believe paying less tax will fix the kind of cynical systematic corrupt behaviour of your mayor, and other tiers of government.

It's almost painfully poetic: Luke Farritor, a young mind who painstakingly reassembled the shattered echoes of an ancient library, now finds himself part of an administrative autodafé. The same kid who unlocked 2,000-year-old secrets is implicated in a modern purge, erasing the remnants of a civilization whose records we thought were sacrosanct. It's a stark, ironic twist that technology, once the key to resurrecting lost histories, now fuels a deliberate obliteration of our documented present. History’s full circle is as brutal as it is fascinating.
