I don't disagree; except on the point that this is open and blatant disrespect. I don't have the impression that the purpose of this action is to subvert the judicial branch toward the goal of centralizing power into the executive branch. It could be interpreted that way, but the reality is that constitutional law on this is pretty clear, and Trump hasn't gotten to the point of breaching the constitution (yet).

If you've followed Trump for long enough, one of the things he talks about a lot are the "unelected bureaucrats" in the government making the real laws that end up impacting Americans day-to-day, more than Congress oftentimes. That's who this is targeted at; subordinates within the executive branch. This isn't a law, or even an interpretation of an existing law, or an expansion of executive branch powers, or even an expansion of the powers of the office of the President (because legally, as far as I know, the President has always had this power); its best described as a memo elaborating a process.

One example that might be applicable here is Net Neutrality. FCC enforcement of Net Neutrality goes back and forth; it was about to happen, until Trump in 2017 when the ruling was cancelled, and then in 2023 it came back, and now it probably won't happen again. What you're seeing there is, in the most accurate sense, something this action would expressly cover. There's zero congressional law dealing with net neutrality. Every time the FCC has touched the topic, its been the unelected bureaucratic appointment of the latest elected President making a new rule that can just as quickly be overturned or interpreted differently by the next President. Trump's new action just recognizes a process that's already been happening, basically forever.

What net neutrality really needs is the same thing a ton of these bureaucratic agencies need: a law, passed by congress. Write it in stone.

But, this is a rare thing in modern America, and maybe it always has been. Our legislative branch sucks. Seems like our Founding Fathers may have wanted it that way, but I doubt they fully understood the consequences. Getting it to do anything is like pulling hair, and that's why Executive Actions (read: authoritarian rule) have become so common. Trump, to some degree, through his mass layoffs, the defunding of various parts of the government, and now the codification of the process that the President makes decisions on-behalf-of the executive branch, is trying to scale the bureaucratic state back. Is that a good goal? Will it be successful? I don't know. But that is, under my interpretation, the best description of his aims.

> Congress cannot pass a law requiring that the Secretary of State or Defense or Treasury be fired only for cause. The SCOTUS case knocking it down would likely be 9-0.

No one is saying Congress can restrict the President from firing political appointees or his Cabinet.

We're talking about the quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial agencies here. In the case you cite, Humphrey was on the FTC, and Roosevelt tried to fire him. The Court said the President couldn't him because Congress wrote it in the law. That's exactly what the other poster was saying, so how are they flatly incorrect?
The band is pretty accurate.

We know at what point it will intersect Earth’s orbit to a high degree. We don’t know what time it will do so. If it passes by sooner or later than the critical window, it will miss. If it passes by while Earth is in the way, the location will be determined by Earth’s rotation and exact position in orbit.

That last part is the uncertain bit.
Yeah, I'm talking about this specific case.
I'm struggling to understand why I wouldn't just use wireshark and specify the interface as well. Reading docs shows you need to invoke your container with this as a wrapper which to me is quite a bit scarier than attaching to an interface.

Again, it depends on the issue. The 2023 Gallup poll I cited [0] found that 48% of Democrats opposed allowing transgender athletes competing under the gender they identify with, with 47% supporting - a notable shift from two years earlier when a clear majority of Democrats (55%) were supportive. By contrast, in 2023, independents were 67% opposed, 28% supportive; Republicans were 93% opposed. A 2024 Pew survey found 75% of Democrats support corporate DEI initiatives, 21% oppose; [1] while 75% is a supermajority, 21% is a substantial minority rather than a minuscule or irrlevant one

> It's pretty clear that if they think women hires are DEI, than women's issues has some degree of "woke".

I don’t think anyone considers the mere fact of hiring a woman to be “woke”. Is Trump “woke” for nominating Pam Bondi to be United States Attorney-General, or Elise Stefanik to be US ambassador to the UN, or putting Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court? Were the Tories “woke” when they elected Margaret Thatcher as their leader in 1975? Is Alternative für Deutschland “woke” because one of their two co-equal leaders is Alice Weidel?

It depends on the details. It’s certainly possible that more money in the hands of consumers, entrepreneurs, and investors will lead to growth that will have larger revenue generating effects than the apparent losses. It’s also possible that an initial round of spending reduction and tax reduction will encourage the public to support further changes in the future, including bigger cuts in spending - meaning it doesn’t have to all balance out at once right now. I do think that public appetite for this will grow - just purely based on the numbers, it seems inevitable that the US will end up revisiting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It’s painful but I think more people are recognizing this reality daily.

Coming back to the revenue reductions: the Trump 2.0 administration is very different than Trump 1.0, and he has a lot of smart, experienced people around him to advise him. I can envision them coming up with plans that are successful in putting America back on the right track. But I certainly don’t “trust” the plan by default, for the same reason you’re bringing up. At the same time, I don’t want to be too negative about it either - we just don’t know enough about it. And maybe that’s okay, since it can be useful for the administration to not reveal their larger strategy publicly for many reasons. So I can’t square it, but I am hopeful about where all this is going. Continuing the trajectory of the last several administrations is worse.

> Who would they be accountable to if not the US President?

Accountability does not require absolute control. A subordinate official can be permitted (even mandated) to exercise independent judgement and still be accountable for mis-, mal-, and nonfeasance to a higher authority.

And this has, with different precise parameters, long been the statutory model governing the President’s relations with much of the executive branch, with different specific rules applicable to civil service employees generally, Inspectors-General and a few other specially-designated employees in regular departments, and independent agencies.
That exact sentence is what worries me the most.

Maybe not this one, but blowing up a planet-killer would be a terrible idea. And given the political climate, you and I both know exactly which party would ignore the data and do it anyway for the spectacle.

Gently towing it out of danger gravitationally is for a lot of scenarios the best solution, but it’s boring and if it works the political opposition can just claim it was never going to hit anyway.
This actually increases their chances, because they can pick the same seat.

> This EO doesn't change the fact that President is held accountable by the judicial branch for following the law.

That's the big question, though, isn't it? Will current SCOTUS actually pass down rulings based on the law and constitutionality, or will they defer to Trump on many/most/all things?

And if they pass down a ruling that Trump doesn't like, will he obey the court? Or will he just instruct his people to ignore it? Federal courts and SCOTUS don't really have much or anything in the way of enforcement power, if the executive branch wants to ignore them.

The only real backstop to this is Congress' power to impeach. Which won't happen. And even if it did, would Trump actually leave office? And if he didn't, who would have the ability and willingness to step in and force him to leave?

If the answer to all this is "the military", whoooo boy, are we in trouble. And even that assumes all the military leadership hasn't been retired by then, with Trump loyalists installed in their place.
Say I walk into a machine, and then I walk out, and also an exact duplicate walks out of a nearby chamber. My assumption is that we’d both feel like “me”. One of us would have the experience of walking into the machine and walking out again, and the other would have the experience of walking into the machine and being teleported into the other chamber.

Im probably lacking in imagination, or the relevant background, but I’m having trouble thinking of an alternative.
Not an easy silver bullet. They'll filter out pm2.5 but most don't touch VOCs. Most that claim to remove VOCs don't have enough volume of activated carbon to justify that. And even if you buy one of the ultra expensive machines that do filter VOCs, you're still left with rapid carbon dioxide accumulation which probably acutely harms cognition even at sub 1000 ppm levels, forcing you to open the windows which is self defeating.

You're really left with two good solutions, one is centralized airflow with appropriate HEPA filtering which many can't afford, or to move to a location with default clean air, again a difficult proposition depending on work etc.
Trillions of Viruses Live in Your Body. A.I. Is Trying to Find Them
Show HN: InsForge – Add User Auth to AI-Built Apps in 30 Seconds
Hey HN, we (Hang and Lyu) built InsForge (https://insforge.dev) to solve the biggest roadblock for people building with AI coding tools - adding backend functionality to their projects.

The problem is simple: AI tools can help non-developers build impressive frontends, but everyone gets stuck when trying to handle backend needs. Most Backend-as-a-Service solutions are built for traditional developers, not for people using AI to code.
We believe the definition of "developer" is shifting. LLM-native users are the new developers, but existing tools haven't caught up. We watched too many good projects die at the "how do I add a backend?" stage.

InsForge adds backend capabilities to AI-generated prototypes without requiring any backend knowledge. Our demo shows how easily you can add authentication: https://youtu.be/gbzWUI1w12U?si=cKrUjIsCUZWfxRup

How it works:
- Enter your redirect URL
- Copy our integration prompt
- Paste it in your AI coding tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.)
- Accept the suggestions

That's it - 30 seconds to add backend functionality. We handle the infrastructure while your AI tool generates the necessary frontend code.
We also provide:
- A basic database to store user information
- A user management dashboard to view and manage your users
- Secure authentication out of the box

Would love for you to try it out (https://insforge.dev) and share your thoughts!
What are the limits of this argument? Let's say, entirely hypothetically, that our adversaries have found that weapons testing on prisoners helps them iterate better. Must we copy it? Repeat for every new level of depravity you can think of.

'Fog harvesting' could yield water for drinking and agriculture
I disagree categorically with this. Yes, in principle, the court cases would be easier if the law was written with the complete regulations in place to begin with. However, facts on the ground change faster than the legislature is able to move at the best of times.

It has always been the case that you or I could sue to overturn a rule from the EPA or the BATF or the FDA. At which time, you assemble subject matter experts to buttress whatever claim you might have, and the regulatory bodies present their experts and then a judge and jury decides. It’s pretty far from perfect, and it has some of the same flaws as the legislative approach, but the important strength is that national defense spending policy is not held up on where the sustainability of dolphin bycatch for tuna lays: 15 or 16 dolphins killed per 100,000 tons of tuna harvested.

I think the underlying premise to requiring the legislature draft all regulations is “the legislature should not be making rules about things they don’t understand”. But 1) that sure as hell hasn’t slowed them down before, and 2) the fact that e.g. airplanes are very complicated is why we want regulations around their manufacture and operation in the first place. It’s confusing to me that the conclusion folks seem to draw here instead is “it’s too complex for the legislature to engage with in a timely fashion, so I guess we just have to accept all these plane crashes”.
Discard any hands where you pick the same seats, at the end.

You can also play actual poker like this. Each player writes down random numbers 0-51 in predefined order. You reveal some of those numbers to the other player who adds their own number mod 52 to get their private hand. You all slowly reveal both numbers for shared cards. If one of your cards matches the shared card you have to start over, same deal if at the end multiple players end up with the same cards.

It’s a slow process, but when the goal is wasting time and you don’t have cards it’s a poor substitute.
This is just things that are DOGE related.

The military does not need a fleet of cybertrucks, it needs GAS based vehicles. The same idiotic policies that Biden pushed in all other executive areas are in the military too. Trump will cut the budget related to fraud, waste and abuse in the military - and likely increase the budget for sane things.

LLM chatbots are amazing but they’re lagging behind the marketing inferences, and that’s a recipe for frustration that providers need to address. I think a lot of these problems need to be fixed with product design and communication.

Point blank, he won because of Biden’s weaponization of the justice department. The American people saw it happening right in front of their faces and they were utterly tired of it. It’s possible that Biden did this because he truly felt that Trump could not be allowed a second term, but when he made the decision to go down that path, he made a binary bet. If it worked, he would have saved democracy. If it failed, Trump would rise to power, hellbent on revenge. He made this careless bet without an actual strategy in place, and he predictably lost. In a way, Biden created the very thing he feared.

Real Examples of Premature Optimization
In Thiel's Zero to One he writes, "A good startup should have the potential for great scale built into its first design". This is counterintuitive to the premature optimization problem, what's commonly understood as bad since it creates unnecessary work and complexity in software design.

What are some examples of premature optimization that negatively (or positively) effected the companies you worked at?
I was always queasy about mega corps saying "look at us, we are so good, we have outreach/pronouns/ESG", for reasons I couldn't quite put my finger on. I much preferred that companies comply with regulation, without necessarily doing extra, and instead for the regulation to reflect values that the society needs from them.

Well, voila. The wind changed a month ago and this entire system of voluntary goodness seems gone with the wind.

But then again, I suppose, we've also been shown that regulation can be changed on a whim, at least in the current climate. Perhaps my preferred way would work with less extreme illiberals, but not this.
