This is a common problem. In Korea, the Sea of Japan is the "East Sea". In Iran the Persian Gulf is the "Arabian Sea." Do we waste our time worrying how maps are labeled for consumers in Iran or Korea?

What's different here is an objecting nation (Mexico) is interfering with names and expression that are used in another country, namely the US.

You think Gulf of Mexico is a better name. You're entitled to you opinion, particularly if you live in the US. But what if you lived in Mexico and the US government sued you for using your preferred name in Mexico? And you think that I have it backwards?
I would be utterly shocked if there aren't installations of BTCPayServer doing higher volumes. This is such an odd choice for case study. Though I can see many users not wanting to do this type of prose about their business.
I considered doing that once. When sorted by subject/author you can end up with a mix of tall books and short books on each shelf in a bookcase, which means that the vertical spacing of the shelves has to be enough to accommodate tall books on every shelf. That can waste a lot of space.

Sort by height and you might be able to reduce shelf spacing enough to make room to add a shelf to the bookcase.

I don't think that's entirely true. We used to have much more social mobility back when it was legal to e.g. build your own house. These kind of government jobs didn't always require a degree (and getting a degree didn't always require generational wealth). And there was a dramatic increase in class polarisation on social issues post-Occupy Wall Street.
So the problem is the reason to assume goodwill from the people tasked with fixing it?

Feed at a large scale operation is a lot cheaper than you’d think. The bulk of the food is soybean meal left over from oil production and distillers dried grains with solubles left over from ethanol production. The feed manufacturers make deals with those producers for their left over product for very cheap. They supplement the feed with some other stuff like oyster shells for calcium. Bone meal from meat producers, bakery meal from stale or expired bread, wheat middles from milling flour, and so on. None of them are expensive primary products but whatever the cheapest local sources are producing as waste in huge quantities. Some places will even give the stuff away because the cost of transporting is less than its worth in compost. Since the input ingredients are variable and the feed manufacturers have to plan for that, they offer the big farms steep discounts on long term contracts that fix their costs.

A chicken lays a few hundred eggs per year so they’re very economically productive and you can house hundreds or thousands of them per coop somewhere the land, water, and labor are cheap.

Although we’ve sacrificed animal welfare, sanitation, and quality to get those prices.

Article II Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America

It doesn't say "some of the executive power", nor does Article I mention anything about being able to create new executive powers vested in other entities. So if the president is the only one who has been vested with the executive power, how can a functionary of the executive promulgate a regulation that disagrees with the president? Ultimately the House can impeach and the Senate convict, possibly disqualifying them from federal office.

> The reason for this law is simply to bring the various agencies under executive authority in line.

Just to be very clear, since it actually matters... this is an executive order, not a law. No one voted on it, it was just declared to be true.
A majority of Americans voted for Trump. There was a pollster who was on CNN a day or two ago who looked into people who voted for Clinton and Biden in 2016 and 2020, but then for Trump in 2024. These people were (of course generally speaking) happy with Trump's performace so far this term. There frustration with the Democrats was what they perceived as a lack of action, and they see Trump as "moving fast".

It's clear the American people (again, majority speaking - I mean, I certainly care) don't care about what is going on with the federal government right now. The only thing that will make them care is if the economy tanks or if inflation spirals out of control.

I agree with you, but I think that having fewer smaller players makes it easier for bigger ones to get away with far too much. If smaller players existed, they could fight to keep the amount of data extracted smaller so they were able to continue existing. Of course, this is a dream, but worth thinking about (at least in my head as a though experiment on keeping privacy more constrained so bigger companies didn't have as much to work with).
Not only did they put out a playbook, they actively recruited and screened people to take government positions. I read a post on Reddit from someone who went through the training. The whole idea was to find ideological supporters. Trump's problem in 2016 was that he wasn't prepared and relied a lot on existing government supporters and established GOP figures, who weren't completely loyal. This time, they were prepared. That's the reason why he's been able to move so quickly in the first month.
The renaming is a political stunt perhaps .

Using the style guide as a reason to exclude some press on other hand is not a political stunt at all.

It is mechanism to influence and control around the messaging of executive actions in the mainstream media[1]

Organizations not complying would be excluded under another pretext sooner or later.

AP is a non-profit and can take this stance, most other news media are for-profit and their first fiduciary responsibility is to their shareholders not their subscribers or employees, journalistic and ethical standards.

That means none of them can afford to be excluded from the most happening news stories and access to the more valuable (I.e. clicks) personality in the world of this decade .

Revealing.
Even the simplest of projects have these engineering challenges, but people cannot see the forest for the trees when it comes to maintenance.

Since I did not enter the industry with a computer science degree, I was relegated to less desirable maintenance work for the majority of my career. I have twenty five years of experience reading other people's sometimes great, frequently benign, and occasionally really bad code.

Unfortunately, most of my experience is wasted and not well respected. Most people do not care to look far ahead, they are far too consumed with 'just getting it up and running'. It's all engineering in the end. The house building analogy holds. Make smart tradeoffs. Don't paint yourself into a corner. Build exits for yourself: from platforms, APIs, libraries, and seldom trodden code paths. If you can write it yourself and it's not that complicated, write it yourself. Dependencies are a nightmare from a security and long term use perspective. They might be good for starting out, but you really have no idea where your project and organization will take you.

If I were a hiring manager I would value this experience more than anything else. It's nice if you can bang out some algorithms, but I think it's much more useful for most organizations if you can make forward-thinking engineering decisions.
Try disabling Bluetooth from within the settings. My iPhone and iPad would drain like 50% of their batteries overnight if I left Bluetooth on. Now they drain about 10-15%. Still a lot for devices doing nothing, but better than before.

At least among voters, there’s been a realignment over the last decade along the globalism/nationalism dividing line. The factions that favor globalism seem to also favor American military empire (to keep the trade routes safe or whatever, I don’t know).

I don’t trust republicans in Congress to actually do it. But it could be a historic opportunity for democrats to call their bluff and support the cuts. A once in a century opportunity to end the age of American empire and reorient America for the inevitable multipolar future.

> Congress has all the enforcement power, they can impeach the president whenever they want.

<Sad clown laughing noises>

Regarding the power of the judiciary in this, Trump's team is arguing right now before the Supreme Court that the judiciary has no power to constrain the President's power when he's acting solely within the Executive branch (which is basically all the time...) Oh, and as part of that filing he reminded the Supreme Court that they just granted him full immunity from prosecution.

For the cherry on the cake, the official Whitehouse X account tweeted out "GOD SAVE THE KING" with a picture of Trump with a crown on his head (I thought this was fake when I first saw it).

>>> why assume the status quo was working in the first place.

Spending has been "unsustainable" for 40+ years, ever since Reagan gave up on trying to get his own party to reduce it. I'd say that's a pretty good indication that the status quo was working well enough.
yeah, one of the problems we're seeing with using LLMs at the moment is that they don't really work for beginners, because you need to have a certain level of knowledge in order to be able to spot the hallucinations and understand the context.

I've seen this in coding, where as an experienced coder I can spot where the LLM is doing bad things, but if I try using it in a language or environment I'm not familiar with, I get lots of errors that I don't understand how to fix and all I can do is feed back the errors to the LLM and hope it does better next time.

So I guess my point is that if we end up using LLMs for everything then we have a chicken & egg problem - LLMs don't work for beginners, but beginners don't learn anything while they're using LLMs because they can't get past basic errors.

Your point about multiplying 4-digit numbers would be valid if calculators often made basic maths mistakes, and you can only really use them if you already know the approximate answer so you can detect when they've made a mistake.
Other members of DOGE are getting dissected for past racist posts, but I personally think that's a lot less interesting and concerning than the historical leak allegations against this dude. DOGE will fire everybody except their own people. I think that double standard drives even more interest.
>setting up the president as the sole power center is an inherently unstable system.

But that is what the Constitution specifies (Article II Section 1):

> The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

I find it funny people either don't know this or are intentionally ignoring it. The entire power is vested in one person, who can delegate the enforcement of it to lower officers.

> Nothing prevents the next president from having a radically different opinion. There is a very good reason why the founding fathers built in an elaborate system of checks and balances.

Right, thats why they included a legislative branch and a judicial branch. The problem is the legislative branch delegated much of what it does to the executive, and the judicial said it was okay.

I had one for a while in my early teens and it had the floppy disk drive option. I did some sprite and graphics programming. It's obviously been a long time and I was young so I could be mistaken, but one bad experience I had with it was that the filesystem considered a file either a program or data and there was no obvious way (to me) to switch between the two. Well one day the machine decided that my basic files were data and not programs and so I lost them.
Of course it is, it makes you think they're talking about the non-Max size class iPhones when in fact they're splitting hairs about a 5mm difference in screen size to make it sound more impressive.
An independent regulatory agency are established by law and function outside direct executive supervision. That’s the whole purpose: they’re supposed to be non partisan.

But there’s a loop hole - this independence isn’t codified. Rather an executive order from 1993 (12866) required federal agencies to submit proposals to OMB but exempted regulatory agencies. Today Trump is closing that loop hole.

So if that’s not congress’s intent (which I’m sure is not) then they will need to pass a law soon making these agencies independence from the president explicit
Currently, this is roughly true. But there's a decent chance it will have a killer app within the next ~5 years, and then adoption will grow quickly. At that point, it would be nice to have a small library of videos/photos that were taken with the AVP in mind.

well, there sure was a lot in the countries involved!! they have all lobbied and argued extensively in favor of their selected name for many years, and their people do seem to feel strongly about these matters.

I don't have a final answer for all situations, but certainly if you look at those things on the map right now they read one name, then the other in parentheses. The "Gulf of America" has no such parenthetical. That seems like an acceptable compromise that Google has already adopted in other disputes. I suspect it will rile the current administration, however, if they do so here, and so they have not.

edit: oh, I find Google has already addressed this, and it is only in the US that it is just gulf of america:
