> 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

You're correct, in retrospect I was a bit hyperbolic in my statement.

A better statement of my view is: the goal of a government should be the prosperity and wellbeing of it's citizens and the greater system we're all a part of (both geopolitical and ecological), and the best way we've so far discovered to do that is via legislation of an otherwise free market.
These people are all exemplary of commodification. Sam, Chapo, Adam, etc. package up their pet ideology/movement and make tons of money selling it to people. They're not activists or intellectuals slaving away in the dark corners of the internet for scraps, they are pretty much b or c-tier celebrities.
When someone's in a highly politicised position where it's not obvious what the right call is, I'm baffled that they wouldn't take the route that aligns so heavily with their interests, yes. Much as I'm a fan of personal integrity, there's only so much shitting on my whole profession that I could take.
The fees in Bitcoin are much higher than they have to be and there's absolutely zero desire from the developers or community to do anything about since number goes up, and that trumps all.

There are cryptocurrencies that follow the original idea but they're not as popular because they haven't increased in proce as much as Bitcoin.
I heard they will be accepting American prisoners in exchange for money from the US. They will also hold US deportees from any country.

Congress will do nothing, but I don't know what capacity the courts have to act.

Challenging a regulatory action is one thing. Fighting a decision by a regulator to not take action is another matter entirely.
Some of the key actions taken or threatened by DOGE are at least arguably illegal without permission from Congress, such as dismantling USAID, offering "deferred resignation" firing employees without due process, unilaterally stopping payments to agencies or individuals, and some smaller ones. Beyond that, there is the FACA lawsuit challenging the organization of DOGE itself; the administration has partially mitigated that by making Musk a special government employee, but no word on the rest of DOGE.

It's really scummy. There's no reason not to allow me to set, eg, a 5-10x normal spend hard limit where they shut things off. For things like lambdas with accidental reflection (stop lambdaing), someone using your bandwidth to serve files (stop serving), a bug in a your Athena scripts that downloads a far broader date range than expected (stop all athena), etc.
> 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.

Deported using......jurisdiction?

You think if they do some big crime the US is going to ignore it and do nothing but give a referral because oops no jurisdiction?

This argument doesn't work.

> The question of fraud is almost irrelevant when you consider the scale of wasteful spending.

Which is why an itemized ledger is pointless! If you want to adjust the spending of a government organization, adjust their budget. Make them justify the $2,000 toilet seat for the B-21, because there are people in America who will gladly run the materials science by you if you're not aware. America cares about the sticker price, centralized planning is the commie playbook.

Using a blockchain for government spending is a masturbatory nerd impulse that will be quickly dismantled if it even reaches approval, let alone serious adoption.

What's not obvious about preventing trespass?
What is the valid democratic process to use if the public doesn't like the unelected officers of the institutions of the executive branch? Is the claim being made that these people have a constitutional right to run the FBI, USAID, etc forever, and the public is not allowed to elect someone to fire them? From what I can tell, it does look a lot like a coup, of an unelected bureaucracy trying to prevent the elected president from fulfilling his campaign promises that the public elected him for.

I'm HIGHLY sceptical. The academics will love it, because they get money. But look at that list of parties involved. More than twenty parties supplying people; none of them will have this initiative on the top of their list of loyalties and priorities.

Meaning, everyone will talk, noone will take charge, some millions change hands and we continue with business as usual.

Instead this should have been a single new non-profit or whatever with deep pockets that convinces smart people to give their 100% for a while.

Death by committee. And I say this as someone who was in a multi-million research program across ~8 universities, that was going to do "groundbreaking" research.

Too young to have the experience to know what's a good idea and what's a bad idea. Too young to question what they're doing. Too young to push back when things are going wrong. Too young to have life experience and so are far easier to shape and indoctrinate.

Linux is a unix-like kernel written in C, with no stable internal APIs.

Introducing another programming language was never going to work. Not without ample support within the existing developer base.

The kind thing would have been to reject Rust from the start.

We're too late now. The next best option would be to remove it from the kernel entirely.

Remarkably, nothing stops Rust developers from forking the kernel or, even better, writing their own system from scratch.

This reporting feels a bit slanted. The author implies the big blockers are human beings; specific people & interactions he's called out for seemingly stalling the project.

Personally, I'm curious if there's hard technical blockers. Like, if there's features that Linux (or Rust) needs which could incur a serious burden that no team can sustainably maintain. That kind of reporting— deep insights into technical trade-offs— would be much more interesting than a play-by-play of drama.

> However, I must ask: is there a world in which interop didn't have to be so bad without hugely sacrificing memory safety?

You can't really make interop nicer than the lowest common denominator, and when one of the sides is C then that lowest common denominator is very low. Rust is one of very few languages that can potentially interop with memory-safe languages without having to completely buy into a common runtime - e.g. it's increasingly popular to write Python extensions in Rust and I believe there are now libraries for doing that without having to go via C - and when you have richer abstractions available on both sides of the line then you can make use of them. But to work with C you have to work like C, at least at the boundary.

Not the Rust abstraction. If mutation is needed, you'd write closures into the interface, or provider borrows. It's definitely weird to barf out ownership of half of the fields.

E: I guess it sort of depends whether the handle is Copy semantics or not.

E2: I guess they're correctly leaking the resource, but I question whether they should, protections like that are kind of the whole point of using Rust to begin with.

> More than precious bitcoin?

I’m advocating for stable currency. Not bitcoin.

> you agree this will lead to reduced prosperity

I agree that it will reduce the velocity of money and maybe “GDP”. But not prosperity, individuals being able to save wealth into the future is a better life outcome than more goods changing hands.

> and a precious asset is an inefficient medium for commerce

You are conflating liquidity with deflation. To be a currency it has to be liquid, we agree. We also agree btc is not as liquid as cash. But deflation or stability is orthogonal from liquidity.

> now you also have hodling, zero economic activity,

Already addressed. People want money to buy goods.

> my dollars don’t disappear.

The value isn’t lost in the exchange but it’s lost everyday due to inflation.
And by “lost” I mean transferred to government projects.

> that money effectively does disappear from the economy.

No it merely is saved for a future consumption date. If we average consumption needs of participants in the economy there is no reason to expect a monotonic hoarding effect. That would mean consumers are not satisfying their desires for goods.

Here is one last framing. The economy is not money, it’s goods and services. Money is just a tool for claiming them. So what does an inflationary currency do to help the economy? Does it cause more people to get out of bed and create new goods and services? No. It just transfers claims to resources to someone else.
Based on a web search, the answer is at [0] by somebodyelse, as follows: "If you want half-way recent codecs or HDMI standards in a diy hardware project the licensing and chipset availability will kill it unfortunately. The same developer has dropped the HDMI from the follow up project because as a DIYer you can't get the chips needed..."

Also, many people presumably do use a PC as a media server. But, I imagine one would still output that to "real" audio and/or video equipment, if one has a listening/viewing setup that warrants it.

Also, I think there are plenty of open source audio amplifier projects. That simpler problem is not exactly applicable to the OP, though, and not subject to the same licensing and chip availability issues as a full blown AV receiver, apparently.

They could also revise how their C interop works such that the kernel internal interfaces can continue to be specified in C and just used easily from Rust. This is the Swift approach: Consistent, predictable interop that doesn’t insist or presume that the new way is the preferred way.

> Notably, you don’t need to be a member of the press to exercise a right to free speech.

Many high-ranking Chinese officials, including Xi Jinping (Chemical Engineering) and his predecessors like Hu Jintao (Hydraulic Engineering) and Jiang Zemin (Electrical Engineering), are trained engineers.

They also like economics and finance people. Premier Li Keqiang has a PhD in Economics from Peking University. Zhu Rongji, a former premier, had a strong economics and mathematics background.

I am not a fan of American techno-libertarianism nor the Chinese CCP but Europe needs more engineers and economists (from math heavy programs) in politics.
Would that not be a bad thing when using it as legal tender? Deflation tends to be disastrous for the economy.
gangs are a symptom just like drug abuse, which they are also entwined with. striking out at gangs without addressing the issues motivating people to join them is just punishing poverty on both ends. the state has let you down, you feel the need to take survival into your own hands, and then are punished for that.

by no means am i excusing the violence that gang perpetuate, but i am unconvinced that enough people simply want to live the gangster lifestyle that gangs can sustain themselves outside situations of extreme poverty.

That's fair -- "cooked" does imply an increase in entropy that can't be reversed. I think it sadly is irreversible in some people, but many others can be brought back (you're already starting to see a backlash to Trump).

Being exposed to the arguments over and over, repeatedly, probably matters more than their quality. That's what I was going for with "cooked", since "persuaded" isn't quite the right word for it.
I don't know if I have any actual condition. I probably have maybe 5 mental disorders but I don't think any of them cause actual crazy just on their own. Usually my crazy is induced by staying awake for unhealthy lengths of time. I think last time this happened I joked about being schizophrenic because I kept hearing things in silence and being incredibly agitated/panicked about it. I probably said the exact quote "I didn't want that schizophrenia I wanted a different schizophrenia!!!!" since sometimes I wonder what it would be like to actually be schizophrenic. (I wonder this about so many things, though generally people tell me that wondering this is not normal)
