All of the EU countries combined have a lower GDP and a higher tax burden than the US. If they have to then spend more, tax rates will go up.

The other issue is that it is going to be a painful process to decouple their economies from exporting and importing between the US. But that’s also going to be necessary.

How much of the worlds pharmaceutical discoveries come from research and the approval process of studies done by the US? Maybe things will turn around. But right now, there is an anti-vaxxer with no medical background in charge of HHS. They are already purging and editing medical studies.

It’s going to take 5-10 years to see the fallout of the US losing its place on the world stage.

I definitely believe you. I know from a few injuries that with tendons you want to be moving and applying resistance as soon as you are able to prevent the formation of scar tissue and encourage blood flow. It's not a huge leap of logic that bones, too, benefit from movement and resistance when healing.

Honest question, how did you know to disregard the doctor 's instructions and start home exercises on the bone at 4 weeks? How did you limit yourself during your riding and other resistance work? How long was the recovery period after every session?

There are three major conditions where MAD fails:

1) When there are lots of actors. As the number of potential threats go up, the probability that someone will act "irrationally" goes up combinatorially. This is why monopolies always act to benefit themselves, oligopolies usually act in their own interest, but competitive markets always have some defector that triggers a price war.

2) When one of the actors is dead anyway. MAD relies on total annihilation being a negative consequence. If total annihilation is what's going to happen to you anyway, you have no incentive not to launch the missiles.

3) When the responsible party for a launch can't be identified. If you launch but your other enemy gets blamed for it, you've killed two birds with one stone.

Note that the U.S. government has very strong doctrines in place to avert each of these conditions. Nuclear non-proliferation, strong sanctions or military action on countries that are developing nuclear weapons, and nuclear secrecy are all to avert #1. American reliance on soft-power and us keeping dictators in power even when we don't like them are to avert #2. U.S. intelligence agencies are to avert #3.

Despite all this, all three of these conditions are fraying. I'm not all that optimistic that we'll avert nuclear armageddon. The game theorists at RAND corporation knew what they were doing, though.

There's been a long-standing exception for hackers going back to the '90s, although this has changed in recent years because the cyber security field has become saturated. While at the DOJ under Janet Reno, my uncle bypassed all of that just to have random hackers from Black Hat pen-test USCIS. They even got arrested and let out of jail following a successful attempt to print a greencard for "Mr. Kan G. Roo" - Some exceptions to that rule have been employed in positions of authority for decades, and for good reason too.

This search is random in the same way that AlphaGo's move selection was random.

In the Monte Carlo Tree Search part, the outcome distribution on leaves is informed by a neural network trained on data instead of a so-called playout. Sure, part of the algorithm does invoke a random() function, but by no means the result is akin to the flip of a coin.

There is indeed randomness in the process, but making it sound like a random walk is doing a disservice to nuance.

I feel many people are too ready to dismiss the results of LLMs as "random", and I'm afraid there is some element of seeing what one wants to see (i.e. believing LLMs are toys, because if they are not, we will lose our jobs).

He's either grey hat or deny hat...the allow hat ship sailed.
I'm reminded of being a tourist in Moscow a few years ago and being pleasantly surprised by the lack of unhoused folks on the streets.

A friend of mine who lived there for a while commented that that's because the police round them up and ship them out to the suburbs where they're not being seen by the tourists. They then migrate back to the centre over time because that's where they can beg, and the cycle repeats. Nothing is solved, no-one wins, and people die because of this policy, but at least the tourists are impressed by the lack of street people.

Moving drug addicts off the subway does literally nothing to solve the problem, except it keeps the subways nice and clean and allows everyone to think the problem doesn't exist any more.
This certainly seems sound for whatever portion of the gulf is Mexico's territory, but, does Mexico have jurisdiction over the 'middle part'? My non-expert understanding is that the US owns the portion of the gulf that's within 200 nautical miles of US land and Mexico owns anything within 200 nautical miles of Mexican land, leaving a bit in the center that's international waters. Maybe there's a treaty that gives most of it to Mexico somehow?

The solution where we cut it in half on the map and give it two names seems silly, since it is a single geographic feature. `Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)` (and the reverse when connecting from the US) seems like a reasonable middle-ground. It doesn't seem that Google Maps generally indicates who controls which ocean territory.
No questions but this all looks amazing! Looking forward to trying to out. Thank you for all the hard work.

> I'm a bit puzzled what you're saying about private savings. You can certainly consider deposits/savings as loans to a bank, is that what you mean?

Yes, in a previous comment you said this:

> If the private sector wishes to save and import, then if the government wish to not starve the economy of money, they necessarily have to run a deficit

My point is that the private sector saving does not itself starve the economy of money. Savings is generally done into banks, which then choose where to invest that money onwards. What makes it possible to starve the economy of money from this is precisely that the government takes loans from a private sector looking to save - either through banks that buy Treasuries, or even Treasuries bought directly - which forms [part of what is currently considered] the deficit.

> I think the point I trying to make to is that deficits should not be anything to worry about - they are just a balancing item that reflects normal monetary operations as desired by the population

My original argument had an even stronger implicit point - being able to run a deficit without the consequence of significant price inflation is an extremely beneficial situation. It implies an ever growing value of the ecosystem of that currency, sustaining the new money. We can certainly debate how that value should be realized and what it should be spent on. But pulling back from the world stands to destroy that value creation.

> Things like "If you go to the capital with a bunch of friends carrying placards saying '$LEADER is corrupt and evil and should be replaced by $OPPOSITION' how many of you end up in a jail cell in the next day?".

If the other side calls it a violent riot does it still count as people getting put in jail? Cause the Jan 6 insurrection and BLM protests occurred at about the same time and are viewed very differently depending on which political lens you put on.

> If there is literally no tangible difference then it's just label games and metaphysics and doesn't matter.

You’re discounting feelings as if it doesn’t matter. But if people believe or feel like they live in a dictatorship, what quantitative data are you going to use to disprove that. Moreover, why aren’t feelings valid when talking about politics which is fundamentally an emotionally driven human activity and not a data driven one? By the way the left believes they live in an authoritarian dictatorship under Trump while the right believes they lived in an authoritarian dictatorship under Biden. And political power literally is the power to emotionally manipulate others because you individually can’t actually accomplish anything by yourself.

Python has always been unashamedly imperative, with some functional features entering by slipping through the cracks. The pattern matching thing seemed ok to me when I tried it, but I haven't used it except briefly, since I'm still mostly on Python 3.9. Interestingly, Python has been losing users to Rust. I don't entirely understand that, other than everyone saying how Rust's tooling is so much better.

This is extremely variable upon where you live and the culture of your workplace. For me, most of the places I've worked in SV have had a very active lunch culture where we go out for group lunches and have a nice time and shit talk about our bosses being idiots and where we're all gonna go work next.

In good humour, with no slight intended:

unyttigfjelltol departed from journalistic neutrality long ago. They actually are among the worst journalistic offenders because of hyperbolic overstatement and sleight of hand misuse of references that "support" their stance.

The relevant quote from [1] is milquetoast:

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.

AP is rated HIGH in factual content with a bias one stop to the left of "LEAST BIASED".

Of all the biases out there this is not particularly troubling particularly as most (I would hope) are aware of it.

I think that the most effective way to get change would be if the economy tanked, that's the one thing the electorate seems to be motivated by. A general strike would be one way to do that, but I doubt that one could be organized on any meaningful scale. I'd love to be wrong about that.

I'm trying to restrict my spending as much as possible. No new car, no vacation (or at least nothing big), limiting eating out, etc. I'm cutting back on as many unnecessary expenses as I can, and being mindful of what businesses I do spend my money on.

This whole situation really goes to show that both the judiciary and the legislature need to be greatly expanded -- probably by 10 fold or more. Even if you greatly reduce the size of the federal government.

The executive employs approximately 3,000,000 employees. The federal judiciary only employs about 30,000 total, and the legislature about 20,000 total. The sheer velocity with which the executive can ram through questionable directives *and have them executed upon* (despite the law) means the other "co-equal" branches of government are always potentially on the back foot. It's just a personnel game. Trump has only highlighted how absurdly easy it is to abuse this imbalance.

And after the Chevron and Trump decisions, it's only going to get worse and worse. I do think these Federalist Society types who pushed these unitary executive theory ideas have now created a monster. They've created a situation where the executive has immunity to simply apply the law however it wants, clogging up the judiciary with civil and federal suits, and where the Congress cannot pass laws fast enough or with great enough specificity to avoid defying Chevron or avoid executive misapplication. Meanwhile the executive has long since moved on from the original issue to the next 10 issues, and the next 10, and the next 10, while the courts and the Congress are still only getting started on the first few problems. And the executive will never really get "punished" for these actions because of its supposed immunity.

And presidential elections don't really help with this problem. Because one president has 4 years to drastically reshape everything, and the next president will spend all of their 4 years reverting it, dropping all the previous suits, creating its own litany of new suits, and rinse and repeat. The hysteresis of this process is too long and leads to instability and chaos.

I jumped straight the the Personality section and sure got a nice dopamine hit reading the list of attributes of what makes a great engineer.

It is a hard truth though that a lot of those personality traits lead to behaviours that are not aligned with small to medium enterprise (SME) needs, particularly ones that hire engineers and yet are not, at their core (in their couer) tech companies.

The big, great tech companies have their business units ride on the coat tails of great engineers and the engineers thrive in a stable maximum.

Great product companies can have great engineers fulfilling product needs, but the long term trend, without constant and frankly impossible levels org vigilance, will be for their engineering culture to devolve into mediocrity. SME product companies don’t stand a chance.

>> Similar to Roe v Wade and Chevron, they'd need to overturn Trump v. United States and then charge him with crime (or contempt). So there is a ball in the judicial branch if they get pushed too far. Just extra steps.

_Who_ would charge him with a crime? Prosecution is the responsibility of the Executive branch via the Department of Justice. The only option the court would have is Contempt, and I don't see that being particularly effective.

The only legal avenue this order leaves open is impeachment, and because that requires a 2/3rds majority in the Senate, there's all sorts of ways to prevent it. Even if the republican senators started to oppose him, the DoJ could be used to threaten and investigate senators who step out of line. Or a violent mob could be used to interrupt the impeachment vote.
Yes, and then Trump destroyed the Bush dynasty in one debate and took over the party: https://youtu.be/H4ThZcq1oJQ?si=I-mDaVGGMjsMngo9. To the point where Jeb’s son couldn’t even win the nomination for Texas AG, and Cheney’s daughter was thrown out of Congress.

This is something that people seem to expect to be able to do on social media. I think maybe that's part of the point that was being made.

In fact, it seems like people would love a social network that consists exclusively of libelous remarks.

The weird thing is that social networks seem to actually be willing to deliver this content.
