I don't think it would be unpopular for me to say that most taxpayers believe there is huge waste in government, up to and including the government's spending.

While DOGE is not a good long-term solution, it's so far better than literally any other major effort by a US government entity to combat waste at the federal level - which is to say that it's literally the only one that I've ever heard about in my lifetime.

It's a start.
Every time I've ever updated my MacBook or my iPhone to the newest OS I got a popup asking if I wanted to consent to reporting anonymous usage data to Apple. I've always refused.

Am I to believe that Apple ignores my explicit refusal of consent and reports the data anyway?

> From outside there's 1 IP address. With IPv6, every device would get it's own address outside. Why do I want that? That sounds less private to me. Am I mis-understanding something? Lots of traffic on one IP address sounds more obfuscated than all separate.

Having recently enabled IPv6 for my home network, the "why" was that a) IPv6 to IPv6 connections are nominally more efficient than those that have to traverse NAT and b) it enables connectivity to/from IPv6-only internet devices.

The privacy upsides of a single IPv4 IP for a household are, to me, more marginal than the above benefits.

That's not how the US system is supposed to work.
The constitution doesn't even mention political parties,
and there were none in the US for the first 20 years or so.

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches are independent and constitute a system of checks and balances.
No executive "controls" congress or the courts, nor do any of the branches have control over the other two.

As for Republican control of the congress,
that can lead to cooperation between the executive and legislative branches,
but history shows that congress does what it wants,
not necessarily the will of the executive.

The courts are even more independent.
Judges are non-partisan,
and supreme court justices appointed by a president of one party and confirmed by a senate with a majority of the same party can and have ruled against the president that appointed them.
For example,
in ruling against president Richard Nixon in United States v. Nixon,
Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote the opinion for a unanimous court,
had been a lifelong Republican before his appointment to the court by Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I'm not sure it's that simple as evidenced by the ever increasing hours of negative electricity prices.

As far as I know, there are so far no good applications for short bursts of negative prices. Everything that would love those is so capital intensive/high fix costs that even 10 or 20% utilisation rates at negative prices are not enough to make it economically viable.

Season excess is also a big problem. Batteries to smooth the days/nights cycles are fine, you can use them ~365 times a year. But a battery to smooth out summer/winter cycles can only be used once a year!

This is often due to network setup. If you're behind NAT where there's many users behind a single IP address you'll be hit.

Eg. Many cell phone providers are 100% behind NAT for IPV4 internet. Corporate networks almost 100% likely to hit this too. VPNs are straight up almost always flagged for further authentication.

A 'fun' thing that often happens to me is purchasing online via credit card at work and then going to use the CC later that day in stores only to be denied since that's likely fraud since you were in another location completely a few hours ago according to IP location (work routes everything via a datacenter on the other coast).

You sparked a thought / mental model:

The US ruling class periodically senses "blood in the water", and sets things up for a "feeding frenzy" (money and/or power), where a small, well-connected elite engorge themselves on hapless victims.

Iraq and Afghanistan provided such opportunities during my lifetime, and before that, it was the Vietnam war, and history has plenty more examples farther back.

In this most recent feeding frenzy, it appears to me, that the victims are some important (maybe critical) parts of the US itself. A sort of auto-cannibalism, if you will.

I don't remember Google (search, at least) ever not working in any browser I tried, and I used some oddball browsers over the years. Maybe apps like gmail and docs, but they simply would not work in other browsers. Remember in its early years Chrome was a darling because it was supporting the "modern" web. That was the whole stated reason Google developed Chrome: to support modern, rich web applications, and force other browsers to do the same if they wanted to stay relevant. Nobody guessed that Chrome would eventually be the new IE.

Ask HN: Finding Mentorship in Development?
I've been dabbling in tech and development for over 20 years. I am a self-taught programmer, that eventually completed by BS:CS, that has always studied development books on craftsmanship, data structures, specifics of different languages, and the works.

I've had spouts of freelancing here and there on small projects, but my career took me in a different direction with a whole assortment of different job titles: military, avionics, managing contracts, facilities management, stationary engineering, CAD work, project management, and IT services management. I have been in leadership roles on an acting basis as needed, but have never really felt a calling to go down that path.

By metric of performance reviews and promotions, I have excelled in all of my positions, mostly in part of my ability to leverage software development and my technical skills as whole. I have always leveraged programming to streamline processes and make my organization more efficient. However, my job titles have never directly reflected my software development skills, making it challenging to transition into a formal developer role.

I have gone in and out of periods where I think about "starting again" so that I can be a developer on a real development team, with the title and all of the fame and glory that come along with it (I'm trying to throw some humor in here). For the past week or so I have been trying to put together a boilerplate resume+cover letter package that articulates what I can do, and how I've used these skills in the past to be of value. I’m looking for advice on how to effectively showcase my experience to hiring managers, am open to some certifications that could validate my skills, and suggestions on impactful personal projects to build a strong portfolio.

As I've let me career lead me far away from the developer world, I don't have any network at all in this space. Are there are reputable services or anyone that does this for a living that would be willing to take a peak at what I've put together and give me their opinion on where I could improve to give myself a shot? I am realistic in this pursuit and realize I am looking at junior-levels spots here, and will earn less than I make now in the beginning, but I sincerely do think I can provide a lot of value and just need help and advice as to whether or not I am articulating that well or not. Thank you!
To be fair, the guy I was responding to got flagged so you probably can’t see it.
This wasn’t really our argument, and would look more like moving the goalposts.

To have the argument anyways, I looked back through their posts back to jan 20, and there’s really no information about most of the cuts. I presume that the few things they highlight, eg equity programs or whatever, are the worse of the worst that they could find, cause isn’t that what they’d show us? They could be cutting basically anything behind the scenes, and they themselves may not have a good idea what they’re cutting. As of jan 31st, they claimed to have cut 1-1.2 billion dollars overall. I assume that number is much higher now. Why would I trust that, while fumbling around looking at payment descriptions, one of Musk’s techbro zoomers didn’t hamper or cripple an important function of one of these departments? Where can I find the in-depth information on every cut?

He also said this, in the same blog post:

> Ensuring that the benefits of AGI are broadly distributed is critical. The historical impact of technological progress suggests that most of the metrics we care about (health outcomes, economic prosperity, etc.) get better on average and over the long-term, but increasing equality does not seem technologically determined and getting this right may require new ideas.

> In particular, it does seem like the balance of power between capital and labor could easily get messed up, and this may require early intervention. We are open to strange-sounding ideas like giving some “compute budget” to enable everyone on Earth to use a lot of AI, but we can also see a lot of ways where just relentlessly driving the cost of intelligence as low as possible has the desired effect.

The idea that distributing a "universal basic compute budget" to every person would do anything to solve potential economic inequality that may arise due to hypothetical AGI is just comically simplistic and childish. Giving people access to AI won't fix power imbalances if wealth continues to concentrate.

Tim Ferris and Chris Sacca have both been fantastically successful as investors, but I wouldn't recommend going to them for insights about software or especially AI.

In my experience with feeding large codebases to Gemini, simple tasks work ok (enumerate where such and such happens, find where a certain function is called, list TODOs throughout the code, etc), but tasks that require a bit more logic are trickier. Nevertheless, I had some success with moderate complex refactoring tasks in Python codebases.
Exchange trading happens in round lots that are usually 100 shares.

This is pretty much just a legacy thing, but so many technical systems have this assumption built in that while odd-lot trading (trades not in the round lot size) has become a little more common on the exchanges, it’s still treated weirdly by the various systems involved.

But also, it’s better for you as a retail investor, to get them from a middleman, because they will generally give you a better price than the exchange. They will give you a better price because retail traders tend on average to be worse at trading than the overall market. You should take advantage of that, regardless of your actual ability level.

Even disregarding fingerprinting, a single household doesn't have enough traffic from separate devices/users to the same servers to really matter from a privacy standpoint.

If my PC uses the same IP as my partner's to talk to Google, it hardly matters for our privacy if they mix up the attribution of traffic between the two of us.

> Learn which way the implication goes. "It is repeated because it's true" means something very different to "it is true because it's repeated"

This makes it worse, not better, for your argument.

People repeat things all time because they think something is true, like the people you mention originally who are on "your side" of the political divide. They do the exact same thing even if they were misled into it, because they just don't know.

People on the right wing also repeat things on their social media, blogs etc. because believe it to be true.

Astroturfing and bots also repeat things to make them appear true.

So saying "It's repeated coz it's true" isn't a useful signal to determine if something is true or not, like you were claiming.

You're begging the question, in the proper use of term by assuming something is true in the first place.

https://www.scribbr.com/fallacies/begging-the-question-falla...

> A "begging the question" fallacy occurs when an argument assumes the truth of its conclusion within its premises, essentially using the very thing you are trying to prove as evidence to support it, creating a circular reasoning loop where no actual proof is provided; it's like saying "This is the best product because it's superior to all others.".
> Key points about begging the question fallacy:
> Circular reasoning:
> This fallacy is often referred to as circular reasoning because it essentially repeats the conclusion in the premise, creating a loop where no new information is added to support the argument.
> Assuming the conclusion:
> The key aspect is that the argument takes the point it is trying to prove as already established fact without providing any independent evidence.

You provided no proof of the original except "it's repeated coz it's true" when the other commenter requested proof rather than just seeing repetitions.

People repeat falsehoods and exaggerations all the time like you did with your original comment, so that's not evidence of anything.

Also if people have to resort to childish personal insults then they're usually suffering from a hard case of the Dunning Kruger effect and are clueless about the fallacies they're suffering from.
So if I'm getting this right, the basis for your career advice essay comments ad nauseum is.. getting hired by Amazon and PIPed after a couple years? Fucking lol.
From other discussion in that thread, it does appear that most maintainers are employed by companies to work on Linux. That doesn't mean that all the work these maintainers do is paid, as there are also comments indicating that many of these paid contributors do work on their own time when it doesn't align with their company priorities.

I posted that statistic to demonstrate that the kernal project isn't a typical underfunded, almost purely volunteer open source project as implied by many of the kneejerk comments here.

It strikes me that a straightforward solution to this problem would be to have Google Translate dispatch a new CustomEvent with a particular "type" and a reference to the new element in the detail field. So React and other frameworks could listen to this event and instead of dealing with Text node X, they could instead refer to the translated element Y.

Good for you, I guess? For me, regressing to having a round trip between a keypress and its result would be completely unacceptable. The speed of light in a vacuum doesn't change; paths are not getting significantly more direct; the improved index of refraction from switching to hollow-core fiber or low-orbit satellites could in theory help but is a one-time, limited improvement that has yet to be delivered to my fingertips. Having the network boundary in the correct place to account for the fundamental physics of the situation is the only real answer.

People certainly believe there is huge waste in government, but that doesn't make it true - people believe all sorts of incorrect things. Politicians have been running for years on plans to cut "waste, fraud, and abuse" in government spending, but I suspect there's a lot less fat than the average taxpayer thinks.
It is not. Others have commented pointing to services similar to this one, though.
And most people believe there's too much crime. The DOGE answer to that is to round up people indiscriminately.
