I truly do not understand what sentiment you're trying to convey. The article is literally from a Blusky group that calls itself the "Resistance team of the U.S. National Park Service." How can you possibly condone the existence of that? What kind of government do you think we have?
I think their point was that they feel they have experienced the same treatment that the trans person is describing, but because of their faith. So it was kinda necessary to bring it up in order to convey that.

> EV tax credits under the previous administration applied to almost every EV that wasn't a Tesla.

Your statement might give somebody the impression that somebody in the previous administration singled out Tesla. This is obviously not correct. EV credits were available to all car makers. But there was a limit and Tesla reached their limit first. And later GM did as well.
I think I learned the lesson the hard way.
Hmm Snowflake and Apple are rewriting FoundationDB in Swift. Swift has pretty good dev. ergonomics and good interop with C/C++ so it might find it's niche outside of Apple.
This is a bad article. Probable coming from Phillip Low's own inadequacies and childhood trauma. So much stuff in there that is just factually incorrect.
"All his talk about getting to Mars to "maintain the light of consciousness" or about "free speech absolutism" is actually BS Elon knowingly feeds people to manipulate them." How do we know this for a fact, when soo many people have said the opposite 'Elon genuinely believes what he says..', plus you get to witness his good deeds in public as well. Every time there is a natural disaster or a war, he puts so many of his own resources to work (Starlink, tesla cars, SpaceX for bringing the astronauts home, etc.). The other reasons are probably the dumbest I have ever seen, it made sense for this post to get traction on X/bluesky, but on hackernews, it just seems absurd.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930) – A Historical Disaster

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is one of the most infamous examples of how tariffs can backfire catastrophically. It was originally intended to protect American farmers and industries from foreign competition during the onset of the Great Depression. However, it exacerbated the economic crisis and led to a global trade collapse.

---

Background

The Great Depression was beginning in 1929, with the stock market crash causing widespread economic distress.

U.S. legislators, led by Senators Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley, passed the tariff to protect domestic agriculture and manufacturing from foreign competition.

The law raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, some by as much as 60%.

---

The Immediate Consequences

1. Foreign Retaliation and Trade War

Over 60 countries retaliated by imposing their own tariffs on U.S. exports.

U.S. agricultural exports collapsed as major buyers (like Canada and Europe) stopped purchasing American farm products.

Canada, the U.S.'s biggest trading partner, imposed heavy tariffs on American goods, devastating trade between the two countries.

2. Collapse of Global Trade

World trade plummeted by 66% between 1929 and 1934.

The U.S. saw a 61% decline in its exports in just two years.

Many businesses reliant on international trade went bankrupt, worsening unemployment.

3. Massive Job Losses & Economic Depression

U.S. industries that depended on international markets suffered major layoffs.

Unemployment in the U.S. skyrocketed from 8% in 1930 to 25% by 1933.

Small businesses, especially those in farming and manufacturing, collapsed.

4. Agricultural Sector Devastation

Farmers were already struggling from falling prices due to overproduction.

The tariffs cut off international markets for U.S. farm products, causing massive surpluses and price drops.

Thousands of farms went bankrupt, leading to foreclosures and mass migration.

---

Long-Term Fallout

The tariff is widely blamed for deepening and prolonging the Great Depression in the U.S.

It damaged diplomatic relations, making it harder for nations to cooperate economically.

By 1934, the U.S. reversed course, with President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act to lower tariffs and restore trade.

Economists today use Smoot-Hawley as a cautionary tale of how protectionist policies can backfire.

---

Lessons from Smoot-Hawley for Today

Tariffs can lead to retaliation, making U.S. exports suffer more than imports.

Trade wars harm both consumers and businesses, driving up costs and causing job losses.

Global trade interdependence means isolationist policies are riskier than ever.

Economic downturns should be met with stimulus and trade expansion, not restrictions

Verizon's FiOS routers have been decent. I used theirs when I last moved, and it automatically setup a separate IoT network, in addition to the normal and guest networks.

I've been meaning to buy and setup a mesh, but they sent me an extender for free, and they haven't charged a modem rental fee either like Cox/Comcast did, so I've been living with "free" for awhile until I see a good mesh router on sale.

They are no more being “manipulated” than people were manipulated in the south during Jim Crew when people thought the world would come to an end if Black people drank from the same water fountain they did.

You’re assuming these people don’t have active animosity. Besides a large majority of the base are “evangelical Christian”. By definition religious people don’t appeal to logic.

You are never going to convince these folks that Trump isn’t literally sent by God to save America?
To be fair, at this point I got a week of different support calls, teams, online forms and live chats behind me. I cannot login to the account which would allow me to cancel payments, and every number I talk to tells me they're not able to cancel the payment as they're not authorized.

To be fair, it was, so far, never my main goal to get that payment canceled, but I'm not going to put in any more effort after today.

Will I go to court? Depends on what my insurance and legal insurance says on Monday. Do I want to go to court? No. After seeing all these people tell me the same thing happened to them, would it be good to go to court? Absolutely.
I appreciate your effort to provide a balanced retort. I'll be extremely blunt: all the bad things you've heard about Oracle are about 95% true. I've been in meetings where someone from compliance suggested all "uncertain" customers (accounting-wise) be subject to a rigorous audit... with the comment added "we can probably squeeze a few mil easily this quarter out of the base". Most of the company does not behave like a healthy business. The parts that do perform well are usually walled off from the ridiculous bullshit.

> Although true, it isn't a very useful observation. "How do I find someone impartial to this matter?" is one of the great unsolved questions that the lawyers have to deal with. Up there with "what is true?".

Although true, this isn't a particularly useful observation either. It turns out we can define "true" very well for a lot of really useful stuff. We know the sky is blue. We know the sun rises. We know that two plus two equals four. And we know that anthropogenic climate change is a real thing that exists and is likely to have a large impact on our world.

There are some things that we're less confident about, such as different projections for exactly how large an impact we're likely to experience, what the most efficient way to limit that impact is, who bears the responsibility for implementing those changes, and so on. Reasonable people can quibble over some of those details, and there are multiple valid ways of interpreting those facts. But we can very definitely - and completely objectively - fact check statements like "anthropogenic climate change does not exist" and "fossil fuels do not have an impact on our climate and environment".
I still have to the use the Verizon Fios ONT, and as far as I know there's no way to avoid that, but at least Verizon hasn't given me any shit for providing my own router. I still get the advertised speeds and it makes me happy to own my own stuff.

We have an API server where we execute all the agent reasoning/planning jobs then we stream the browser commands to the client. We mention this in the how it works section on the website. This is the main reason why we have the 5 bot a day limit is because of this. It's cheap for us to run as of now but if anyone would like us to ship a version where you'd use your own api keys (plug n play) locally let us know!

I bet this concludes with a free trade treaty between China, Canada, and Mexico.

I don't particularly want a commit log at the top of every function, TBH. If I'm looking for the history and context of a change, I want to look at the commit log. If I want a description of the current version, I look in the docs (and yeah, sometime I can only piece together why something is the way it is now by looking through how it's changed. But documenting each change has a much better chance of addressing questions like "why did it work and now it doesn't" then trying to get the docs perfect will.)
Conversely, by using their router and modem you move the demarc to the Ethernet port on the inside of the router, which makes getting support significantly easier. I care about that more than control. And I know damn well they ain’t got time to spy on me. Just because appeals to authority are fun, I spent decades as a network engineer and then architect.

Philip K. Dick would eventually have written this as a darkly comedic novel.

(The drug disables the empathy center of your brain, but also reveals the true nature of Nixon, who turns out to be a simulacrum, as he was actually assassinated in 1963.)
> Which of course isn't likely to happen in this case

No. But that's in the hands of the American people. A simple majority in the house to impeach and 67 votes in the Senate to convict. 34 seats are up for election in 2026 [1]. Dems only have 47 seats, and a 20-seat pick-up is almost impossible. But if Indiana, Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Kentucky, South Carolina and Florida [2] swung, that could convince moderate Republicans to convict.

Of course, we'd then have the practical matter of getting him out of the White House...

F# is absolutely alright. It has a small but nice community and various libraries that follow similar pattern - the selection may be small but the product is usually high quality.

It is a predominantly community-developed language. Microsoft contributes engineers to ensure that F# works, slowly evolves and is able to consume all the new APIs introduced in C#, while community drives the evolution of F#'s own features. You can write your own RFC, have it pass through the review, get signed off by Don Syme and then, once approved, implement it (or have it implemented by someone else). Each new release usually has multiple features driven by F# community this way.

Give it a try and if you have questions - feel free to ask them on F# discord.

The second scenario is what we're actually talking about for developers. If I write VoIP code and you use it to commit ransomware; nobody is taking a developer to court over it. At best corporate is going to court.

Even in the first scenario, you can't sue the individual worker that produced the hammer. You're limited to getting a refund or replacement of the hammer from corporate.

The problem with the easy "Musk is just a narcissist" take is that most narcissists don't do things like create a world-changing mass market for electric vehicles, reusable rocket launches, "Starship" spacecraft (which gives us capabilities that we lost with the Space Shuttle disasters, and can do a lot more besides), or indeed, all of those at once.
> Executive branch employees should have no ability to resist or frustrate those changes.

Yes, they should. Unless you believe that it's so easy to run the government that you can replace all the workers every four years (doubtful at best), you need to keep these people in their roles.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution theorizes; the simple truth is that an advanced country needs career civil servants capable of thinking for themselves. That inherently means they will loudly disagree if they think the president is doing something stupid.

I switched to mousing left-handed at some point, years ago. I noticed some of my left-handed colleagues mousing wrong-handed, possibly because of right-handed siblings, and getting some good use out of having pen and paper more easily accessible because of it. I decided I'd do the same.

Something I didn't expect: with my left hand on the home row, I can touch the mouse by stretching my little finger. So it's no effort at all to put my hand on it and use it to move the cursor. And so I've pretty much given up entirely on using the keyboard for arbitrary caret motion. It's much easier to just put my hand on the mouse and move the cursor and click where I want it to go.

Crime is too macro for an individual DA to have an effect. Chesa wasn't responsible for any increase or decrease, during his time nor after. Same for Trump's J6ers. They're not going to move the needle. Instead, mine is a micro argument: there are specific, preventable crimes one can trace to each of their actions. And those actions are remarkably similar in practical effect once you wipe away the dressing.

Thank you for the feedback. Personally besides using our API server, we would like to find another way to deploy to anyone who has an issue with this/wants to run everything local (not just the client). Also I think if we had a OSS plug and play version where you could enter in your API keys locally it would help us ship to more devs. Would you be interested in this?
You have to be careful with that too. I had a tech come out to fix what ultimately ended up being a faulty ONT and doing the same thing, hooking his test modem up to the line to make sure it wasn't my router causing the packet loss. Next month my bill was double because Verizon claimed I had a second line attached, apparently the tech's router registered as a second device. Thankfully tech support was able to reverse that charge, but it was annoying.
Exactly. People usually think of “them” as the very wealthy, but they don’t even realize that earning just a little bit over $40.000/year makes you belong to the top 10% of the world measured by wealth. Earning $60.000/year takes you to the top 5%. Chances are that “you” (average reader of HN) belong to the “them” you critique so much.
