> Seeing your posts hours after Trump launched a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza is quite the sight.

Biden provided the bombs and the diplomatic cover that allowed Israel to decimate Gaza's population, permanently damaging entire generations, reducing the most densely populated areas on Earth to smoking rubble, and explicitly supported Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing plans. He basically alley-ooped this scenario to Trump.

> You’re like the black knight from Monty python.

Sheer projection.

Democrats lost because they supported genocide [0], [1]. They tried to court Republican women instead of their own base, trotting out people like Dick fucking Cheney [2] (after removing any mention of stopping torturing people from their platform).

When over 30% of Biden 2020 voters told pollsters they felt so strongly about an arms embargo that it could affect their vote, and Harris responded by saying she would keep sending bombs "no matter what", she lost. The win could have been a landslide, and Dems chose to tell their base to eat shit instead.

You have to switch the country yourself. It does not get more local than country. Local searches are a weakness in Kagi, yes.
Yes, but science can't "blink" into existence with all proofs already provided. We need to do the work.

We created the scientific method and now we're basing more and more knowledge on demonstrated facts/truths. Some of the knowledge will be invalidated and removed.

In non-science that doesn't happen. In non-science (religion, flat earth, or whatever domain you want), facts/truths only change when a figure of authority orders the change, but even that is problematic and many practitioners will refuse.

We'll never reach a state where all scientific knowledge is demonstrated. Some parts are currently impossible to demonstrate. And even if we could immediately validate everything we know, some new knowlegde can still invalidate old demonstrated knowledge. See newton mechanics vs. relativity. We use the best science that we have.
I feel like a lot of the problems with Git UI come from needing to interact with a "normal" filesystem. I'd much rather have a FUSE/9p mount with all commits, index, etc. available as directories, where they can be read, written, diffed, etc.
Maybe the problem is doctors giving fentanyl to patients constantly.

A lot of them don't. They work in nondescript windowless buildings controlling all the airspace that isn't right above an airport.

There have also been trials done with "virtual towers" at smaller airports, using a bunch of cameras and with controllers remotely monitoring them and communicating.

They send by default an email every month when the payment time is approaching, so I assume they may just send the same email and state that the payment amount is covered by the previous month. They have really good practices at that.

Last time I checked in on this, Kagi was bootstrapped. The single biggest motivation for me to make a bootstrapped business, is to make an ethicals busines.

I get it man. A part of me feels the same way. The practical part of me however decided just to get on with it

Online dating is toxic, and I fought it back with toxic and somehow through all of that I found my dream wife and I tol her all about what I did. She agreed that what I did was toxic, but that there's a "the means justify the end" ethics at play since we found each other

With that said: I don't think the dating scene should work this way. It's too much based on being photogenic and having beautiful looks. And this comes from someone who knows the ins and outs of training charisma and finding a potential partner that way (still possible but not in the initial steps of online dating)
I use it in England and I've had no problem with this at all.

Out of curiosity I just tried the same search, and all the results I get are for .ie domains, so it looks to be working correctly.
People voting for an elected official is different than that elected official breaking the law. People can't vote to break the law. They can vote to rewrite the law, sometimes, depending on how the law is written. Often in the US we vote for elected officials who write law and then the elected president who enforces the law.

So whether tens of millions of people voted for Trump doesn't mean Trump can just disregard law because people liked him and maybe even liked that he said he would disregard the law. As far as I know, that's not how the rule of law works in representative democracies.
This is correct in a memory unsafe language like C, where you can't make any assumption on the state of the program, so the only safe escape is to the address separation boundary (i.e. the program). In a safe language you can usually make reasonable assumptions [1] regarding the blast radius of an assertion violation. And that's why rust allows catching panics.

[1] even safe languages have unsafe escape hatches and safe abstractions sometimes have bugs, but on most cases you can assume that the runtime is not compromised.
This is what i never understand. Okay, not enough money, soooo _tax more_. Or at least stop giving tax cuts to the richest people in the history of the planet? Like, implement a 5% tax on their wealth, and just fix all the problems. We could have services _and_ rich people, we just have to make insanely rich people contribute to our world like we all do to theirs
> They did sue, and a federal judge temporarily blocked the "federal spending freeze".

Last I saw the judge blocked the mechanism, and needed time to decide on other issues.

Hence the confusing email (only if you don’t know how the government works) that rescinded the original mechanism and replaced it with another.

> They then returned with a proposal of $700 billion in spending cuts, but that failed to convince some of those in the right flank.

It’s going to be a knockdown drag out fight over this. Trump will win some, but lose others. That’s just how it goes.

But unlike last time where he got there day 1 with “ok, what’s next”, he went in this time with a laundry list and an actual strategy.

Which is just smart. I’ve worked for big corps and it’s impossible to turn that ship. I can’t imagine the federal government. The only people I’ve seen be successful are the ones that get creative.
I had an idea in my head about what the word "coup" means and why it is bad and I'm struggling to figure out how it applies to this situation (possibly because being no-American I don't get their news).

My understanding is the USA executive is an obscenely powerful position by the standard of the rest of the Western world and they can also delegate that power to accomplish specific objectives.

Is this a coup of Musk against Trump or the executive doing things its not allowed to do or a coup of the executive against the legislature?

(Maybe tabooing (in the rationalist sense) the word "coup" might help...)

Aside: the article paints a very concerning picture about the consequences of contemptuous ignorant imposition of abrupt blanket rules on valuable complex systems. I thank the OP for posting it.
Doing Chico proud!
Yes, and there's a dropdown so you can easily pick a country other than the one you're in.
It may be wise to plan ahead before, for example:

* Political speech starts getting monitored and targeted for detention/arrest

* Immigration into other countries gets backlogged

* Other countries stop letting Americans in entirely as a sanction

* Border controls become a lot more restrictive

Is any of this actually going to happen in the next few years? Who the fuck knows. But the likelihood just increased substantially.
I partially agree with you. The only problem is that these markets are highly monopolistic, and we will be creating another technological dependency on the US.
Exactly. Voting for someone, even if they say they will break the law, doesn't mean they're allowed to break the law. AFAIK, that's not how representative, constitutional democracies work.
Restic is my personal favorite for straightforward file backups. It's simple and well-designed, integrates with rclone meaning it supports any file transfer protocol or cloud storage service you can imagine, and has a decently large community surrounding it.

Thanks for this detailed post.
While I think most are aware of the broad situation, it's impressive to read it all laid out like that. And whenever the author tried to make a statement about guys, the gist of it was "we don't know, it doesn't matter, boys will stick around". Made me chuckle.
The reason there are so many people worth $1b instead of a poor $100m is because of the tax cuts diverting money from crucial jobs.
> but Trump got a majority because eggs are too expensive.

You guys need to stop being so disingenuous (and get some new material). EVERYTHING got a lot more expensive under the previous administration. Whether it’s Biden’s fault or not is irrelevant. A poor economy motivates people to vote for the other party, ESPECIALLY when the average person felt they had better economic prospects when “the other team” was in power (again, whether that was Trump’s doing or not is irrelevant).

Well, here you are, dear Americans, you all have got a chance now to show the rest of the world that you, of all nations, know how to deal right with the chutzpah in your government that has just dropped the mask of democracy, by leveraging the constitution, the law, the right for protest, peaceful or not, and whatever else that is available to a citizen in such cases.

Because you're not akin to those apathetic passive supporters of their criminals-in-power like Russians and Israelis, are you?

> More importantly you can tell investors you have even more accounts than you do and your churn rate is very low.

I know you're being a little facetious but it is actually a benefit. Many companies have implemented subscription pausing to reduce churn. The reason is pretty straightforward good business: it's easier to reactivate customers who lay dormant for 1 or 2 months than it is to let them churn and have to re-sell the product to them from scratch.
My impression, having visited the place, is that the Chinese laborers just work ridiculously hard. Part of this is due to culture and very heavy handed management, part of this due to the working class seeing huge returns on their labor (wealth has grown exponentially in their own lifetimes).
I make the streaming services work like this already. I have neither the time nor the interest in watching anything on streaming most months. I have all my subscriptions cancelled all the time. When I want to watch something badly enough on service x, I sign in, re-activate, get charged for one month, then immediately cancel the subscription. Then watch the thing. Then not get charged again until I want to watch something else badly enough in another 6 months' time.

I absolutely agree with your points - assuming that "machines" to mean the code as opposed to the LLMs: As a "Staff+" IC type and mentoring and training a couple of apprentice-level developers I've already asked on several occasions "why did you do this?" and had a response of "oh, that's what the AI did." I'm very patient, but have made clear that's something to never utter - at least not until one has the experience to deeply understand boundaries/constraints effectively.

I did see a paper recently on the impact of AI/LLMs and danger to critical thinking skills - it's a very real issue and I'm having to actively counter this seemingly natural tendency many have.

With respect to signals, mine was around the attitude in general. I'd much rather work with someone who goes "Yes, but.." than one who is outright dismissive.

Increasing awareness of the importance of context will be a topic for a long time to come!
"Excel requires the user to manually enter every scenario—even in the simple example above, exploring 2 cars, 3 apartments, and 2 Netflix plans would require entering 12 scenarios, with names like “Cheap Car / Medium apartment / Premium Netflix”. In contrast, an ambsheet automatically computes all combinations of the three amb values."

Presumably this tool only works for relatively small possibility spaces due to the problem of combinatorial explosion?

> Not everything is related to Israel, and there's no good reason to believe that this has anything to do with Israel

Netanyahu himself tweeted in support of Elon Musk after his nazi-like salute. This is obviously about Israel.

> it's quite clear now that you're confusing the fight for the freedom of Palestinians and the hatred of Jews

I didn't mention Jews, you are the one confusing Jews and Israel. There are many Jews who are vehement opponents of Israel's nazi government and are denouncing it and its influence on American politics anywhere they can.
I... really like this idea. It's an interesting problem and something that a challenger service could possibly use (assuming they can resolve potential cash flow issues around content licensing). From an incumbents' perspective, it's less desirable since the fact I already have Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime, Apple TV makes me less inclined to add Disney+ or a new service to my list of monthly outgoings.
This is going to sound partisan, but I genuinely think it’s because Trump connects with people on more levels than the Democrats do.

The name calling is part of his blustery comedic Hollywood side, which people understand is different to his policy making side. Watch the all-in podcast episode with him if you genuinely want to see a different side to him.

In contrast, Democrats often come across as only having a singular serious facet to their personality, and so immaturity undermines their entire character.
The right wing of the US is not driven by white supremacy. It's driven by a belief in a variety of mostly false grievances, about immigration, the economy, the wealth gap, etc. Those bogus beliefs are held by white and non white people.

Consider that Trump won almost 50% of Latino male voters. As a percentage of the vote, Trump did better with racial minorities and women in 2024 than 2020, and much better compared to 2016.

White supremacy is real and it has some effect in US politics, but it's not a driving force anymore. I say this as someone who has lived both in and outside the US. The outside perspective is not always better. Germans may be seeing the US through the lens of their own history.
> The program can detect invalid state, but your intention was to never get to that state in the first place. The fact that the program arrived there is a Logic error in your program. No amount of runtime shenanigans can repair it because the error exists without your knowledge of where it came from.

True: a program can't fix an internal assertion error, and the failed component might not be recoverable without a reset. But that doesn't means that the whole program is doomed. If the component was optional the program might still work although with reduced functionality. Consider this: way you do not stop the whole computer if a program aborts.

As I mentioned elsethread, in unsafe languages an assertion error might, with high probabilty, be due to the whole runtime being compromised, so a process abort is the safest option.
Maybe not any more? The situation still seems to be developing.

Some people think politicians make money in corrupt ways but the richest people in the world do it through very clean ways. Almost as if very very rich people are super genius, but the semi-rich people are just corrupt.

Ironically, the essence of a confidence trick, or con artistry, is to convince people that you're superhuman, much much much smarter than everyone else.

Traceroute doesn't use ping requests except with the old Windows binary. Usually it uses "Time-to-live (TTL) exceeded in transit" messages.

Beyond that technicality, your guess is often right... Routers will frequently prioritize forwarding packets over sending the TTL exceeded packets tools like MTR use to measure response times.

I hadn't seen that, and am not finding it.. Have you got a link?
I'll talk about the things I'm willing to post publicly (feel free to email me for what I can only say in private).

1. Get the BEST possible pictures of you. If your picture doesn't look like the best picture you've taken all year, don't use it. Just know that online dating is more about being photogenic and looking good in the perceptions of others than actually looking good. However, if you're unattractive IRL, make sure you have a way to compensate for that. I am a really playful person during dates and that lightens the mood a lot to the extent that some women start to see me as attractive but that's simply positive vibes being associated to my looks

2. Rate your pictures. I use photofeeler.com, there's also rankpick.info. You need at least 3 8.5 pictures, I barely got them after 50 well crafted/taken photos. My friends got them way quicker (I'm a tough case due to a cleft lip and small shoulders)

3. How to start a conversation: make a comment based on her pictures. It's the best trade-off between being original and writing a fast conversation starter. The more imaginative and creative you are, the better

4. Don't be standard. No "what are your hobbies?" style type of conversation

5. If you write a bio it has to pop. If your bio doesn't pop, just keep it short. Stuff that I had:

Cuddle champion of 2019 <-- just a playful eye catcher
Meditation for 2 hours per day <-- wasn't true (I did 1 hour per day but aimed for 2. All is fair in love & war)
city 1/city 2/ city 3/ city 4 <-- city 1 = home city, city 2 = city I'm currently nomadding at, city 3 & 4 = the cities I plan to go to or cities that just sound hip

Shout out to:
- Group of people you like #1 (e.g. artists)
- Group of people you like #2 (e.g. geeks)
- Group of people you like #3 (e.g. ambitious people)
--> Give fun names to them such as: creative people with an imagination, board game lovers and people that want to conquer the world

6. Pay for the service, don't let the free stuff limit you
