> During his four years as president, Democrat Joe Biden experienced a sustained series of defeats at the U.S. Supreme Court... "I think it is the toughest series of defeats since Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s had many New Deal programs declared unconstitutional," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California Berkeley Law School

I'm not particularly trying to argue if it's good or bad, just that presidents often stretch the law to apply their agenda. I would tend to side more on the bad side, but it seems necessary due to senate dysfunction.

Bitcoin as legal tender, as in something you are legally required to accept as a debt payment, is kind of a terrible idea. What if the person owed money has no idea how to muck around with private keys, not getting hacked and so on? Does your average small law firm who has to deal with legal stuff have any idea how to do that?

When government IDs are universal, we can require them to vote.

Here's a study from about a year ago: [0].

Upshot is that 21% of Americans 18 and older don't have an ID that matches their name and address. Disenfranchising a fifth of Americans isn't something I'd accept.

Note also that it's 23% of Democrats, 16% of Republicans, and 31% of independents. You can see why Democrats are anti-ID-check while Republicans are pro-ID-check as a general rule.

It is already ongoing for the medical sector where Hadron therapy [^1] requires a small particle accelerator [^2].

The problem with particle accelerator is that, due to the synchrotron radiation [^3], there is a limit of what you can do in term of power in a small circular accelerator.
The energy you loose in gamma radiation is inversely proportional to the diameter of the synchrotron.

If you want to explore high energy collisions and the unknown, you do want theoretically speaking a linear accelerator as long as possible.

There are few project world wide: The biggest one is supposed to happen in Japan with ILC. [^4]

I'm also somewhat confused by it. To my (admittedly limited) knowledge of immigration in the US, it was not really endorsed by any major figure or movement. In fact there were many anti immigration bills and laws written during that time.
When there's interests which are making $100's to $1000's from many millions of people in the USA and want to keep it going.
I often use ’ and –. What's wrong with that?
You see the carrot vanishing... OK. But what about the stick?
The whole point of Trump's policy is 'we forgot the stick, let's use it again'. I see this true for international policy but you could probably extend that to that infamous DOGE: Fed agencies must be 'productive' (whatever that means), or else.
Also have you seen the people coming out of majors these days (and by that I mean my own graduation class of ~2010)? Uni access expanded so much that just graduating doesn't mean that much anymore. Especially for career government officials who probably went straight into government from uni with no work experience.
The pardoning of the J6 rioters that broke into the capitol, and now trying to fire all law enforcement that were involved in their prosecution feels like the end of the rule of law. Law will now be whatever Trump says. It's a coup.
Nobody wants to read your LLM generated garbage.
Due to underdeveloped economies, developing countries cannot avoid economic dependence on developed countries, especially in areas such as high technology, equipment, and precision instruments. However, this dependence varies depending on the development stage of each country. For example, African nations primarily require food to sustain basic living conditions.

Regardless of their specific needs, this situation has resulted in a unique exchange mechanism: developing countries must offer their best products in exchange for goods from developed countries. As a result, people in developing countries are unable to enjoy the finest products produced in their own countries, and sometimes not even second-tier products, as these are reserved for foreign consumers.

The U.S. market features products from various countries and regions, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Jamaica, and Mexico. The world's finest products flow into the U.S. market in exchange for U.S. dollars. As everyone competes to obtain dollars, competition intensifies, leading to high product quality and low prices. This has created unprecedented prosperity in the U.S. market. This outcome is a result of market mechanisms and the benefits that the U.S. has gained from the global status of the dollar, established by the Bretton Woods Conference after World War II.

However, the massive influx of foreign products into the U.S. has also impacted its domestic industries, causing factory closures and rising unemployment. This issue cannot be ignored, which is why the forces of free trade and protectionism in the U.S. have been in constant conflict.

> behavior of the current president during his last administration

And what has been the lasting tangible effects of his last administration? Was it the end of democracy and the rise of fascism the Left loves to get hysterical about? Nope. And it won't be the case in this administration either. We can check back in four years to see who's right.
Biden governed far too much as a center-right President, I agree. Meanwhile Trump had those same billionaires with front row seats at his coronation. So the situation will continue to get much worse.

But all of this has nothing to do with the debt.
That doesn't make it a coup. "Coup" has a definition, which is to unseat a government through illegal means, or to stay in power through illegal means. For example, January 6th could be considered an attempted coup. But just acting illegally a coup does not make.

The UK has been in a similar situation. We have a ship building industry plan and it seems to be going ok. Top of the range ships like type 26 are massive, expensive and cutting edge so will take time to build and commission. So what we've done is gone and brought an off the shelf design (Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate) and started building it. It's not cutting edge or massive, it should need less crew and most of it's system should be off the shelf. The first in class was paid in April 2022 and is to be launched this year with an inservice date of early 2027. To compare that against the first in class of the type 26, that was laid down on 2027 and is looking to be in service at the same time as the first type31!
We're also building nuclear subs as well!
Interestingly, I see it the other way.

What it's also surprising is people getting excited and "certified" on AWS (and attending AWS conferences, lol), job postings requiring you to "know" AWS for a developer position. Why on earth do I have to know AWS to develop software? Isn't it that supposed to be covered by DevOps or sysadmins? If one word could define AWS that would be: overengineer. The industry definitely does not need all that machinery to build things, probably a fraction of what is offered and way way simpler.
Well if you look at history it is a story of almost continuous war so it would be very optimistic indeed not to consider it.

1. international cooperation and funding is pretty standard practice, especially in science and health

2. nobody can say that this was _the_ patient zero

3. research funding does not yield results specified in advance - that's why it's called research

I am European and American and have lived on both continents. They’re both nice places but in different ways. We shouldn’t be speaking so coarsely to each other, if for nothing else than it’s simply bad rhetoric if you care to make a point.

So I strongly urge anyone reading this to reconsider what kind of person they want to be before responding to rudeness with rudeness.

Change is never a nice thing once all the procedures are down pat and though exemptions will be made, it's clear from a grower body (grapes) press release they feel their perspective [1] isn't wholly appreciated. I had to do some digging as I'm not been in a wine growing area and of course know nothing of US agriculture or the situation in that valley - I found a good link that explained what was behind smoke being such an issue, [2] and could see since it's dated from 2002, it's been a problem that has existed for some time. I can see from details on page 14 - 20 of 34 in the pdf document, that getting the material ready to burn isn't exactly straight forward or easy ... I can see myself in their position, to save time and money employing a large collector / special bespoke rugged baler and couple acre dump spot that might need to be layered over with some soil or other material to impede any pest / contagion escape. Composting can though create significant heat to kill off many issues, and if one has the luxury to let stuff sit around even for 3 .. 6 weeks to dry out before it can be burned, in the same time in a properly created heap could have cured the problem - one just has to be careful composting material doesn't dry out to a point where self ignition can occur.

The general advice with respect to conflict strategies is to base your plans on what your (current or potential) adversary is capable of, not what you believe their intentions are.
It does not matter. None of that has to do with the requirements of the job which, BTW, should have zero executive power and only make recommendations to Congress, the institution that has power of the purse.

Do you understand that this is just a constitutional crisis? I reckon musk ended up appointing kids because they also did not understand the political and ethical implications of all this.
He's not advocating it. But it's simply the reality of the US as a superpower.

Just look at Panama this very week. They were threatened to be invaded if they didn't give up economic deals with China and go back to being a servant colony of the US.

The odds of citizens cashing in and demanding all their money at once is pretty slim. The odds of countries that hold US debt doing it are better. But there's a strong deterrent for countries doing that. And it's the reality that the US has no issue with invading, and they've done it countless times this past century to the applause of the voters.
There is a real irony to how clueless he is about the complexity and vast sets of requirements these systems have. High IQs and programming are cool and all, but these systems are bigger than these kids.
As a non-American: What's illegal here?

My understanding is this is DOGE getting some analysis software in place so they can find out where the money goes and start their cuts, which I understand there is an executive order for. And my understanding is that the executive does have the power to do that sort of audit.

Where has my understanding gone wrong?
I'd add this: if you do end up with a ground-up rewrite, make sure the original authors of the current code are involved in the rewrite. If they are not, it's not a rewrite, just another version.
I think the point is to remove the adversarial aspect and therefore see how they react when not under pressure. I wouldn't be surprised if OP does warn their candidates about it.

Hyperbolic hysterics. From here, that's what I observe.
I think it’s both funny and fitting that a video game library opens in ‘early access’. Apart from adding more games over time, I don’t see the distinction between early access and an actual release.

The website is operational and usable, and will have more content added to it over time. Much like early access games. I wonder what the actual distinction is.

Let's face this head-on.

Not all 20-year olds are mature. No mater how bright they might be when it comes to topics in STEM. Their minds haven't matured enough, especially the male mind.

They do immature shit because there's prestige dangling in-front of them, or because they've been convinces by Musk et. al. that this is the cause to fight for.

There's a reason organized crime preys on young people. They're malleable, do what they're told, blindly ambitious, and want to please their superiors at all costs.
I’m very confused by this blog post. The risk of exploding costs he’s talking about comes from an attack, right?

So he doesn’t have the risk appetite for a DDOS attack nor the desire to figure out how to properly mitigate one. And this is AWS’s fault?
Personally I think the lack of actual output in the field is more relevant than the academic credentials.

That's true of all states. The collapse only sets in when enough people start believing it's about to happen - and once this threshold is crossed, it happens in an instant.

Well by next year it won't be available for anyone so no one will be dissatisfied with what it can and can't do!
I just googled it, and it's true. So there's nothing to debunk.
It's really a pity that they do this now. Some of their older papers had actually quite some valuable information, comments, discussions, thoughts, even commented out sections, figures, tables in it. It gave a much better view on how the paper was written over time, or how even the work processed over time. Sometimes you also see some alternative titles being discussed, which can be quite funny.

>what is an "auto-coup"?

from wikipedia:

>a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power through illegal means through the actions of themselves and/or their supporters.

So Trump trying to stay on in 2020 was an attempt at one. Trump delegating firing people to Musk isn't really. The current stuff doesn't seem illegal either - I think the US president is allowed to say find out who's unnecessary and fire them even if the people being fired shout 'coup', 'unfair' and the like. I'm not sure it's a good idea but that doesn't mean it's illegal.
> The models will be developed within Europe's robust regulatory framework

I'm sure that all AI research needs is "robust regulation".

As a European, it annoys me to no end that Brussels bureaucrats think they know and understand everything and they can regulate everything, the only thing they are achieving is making sure that AI companies will avoid forming in the EU, because nobody wants to be at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the world, sure eventually they will provide service to the EU countries, but we will never have our own industry.

The EU needs to stop having pencil pushers make decisions on things they have no clue about and somehow get people who know what they are talking about to make the choices.
>Government can't solve affordable housing. It is the problem causing unaffordable housing.

They CAN solve housing because, like you said, they're the ones causing it. They just don't want to because the housing bubble is making a lot of people rich.
