All three branches of the government are beholden to the Constitution as a whole, and to each other based on the Constitutional roles and their expressions of their roles.

All government actors individually are also responsible to the Constitution and its expression by all three branches first, before any loyalty to anyone else. In the same branch or not.

Even before the current top office holders of the executive branch, congressional majorities, or Supreme Court justices.

Saying that a President’s personal interpretation of Congress’ laws or the courts precedence, completely overrides any individual executive employees good faith understanding and responsibility to the Constitution, laws, and judicial rulings is madness.

There will be disagreements within a branch that will need to be worked out. The president certainly has more power and deserves special respect. But his helpers must stand firm with the constitution first.

Settling Constitutional level disagreements within a branch is a desirable process. The president, and all government actors, need pushback when they start running into the weeds, and vetting when their take seems Constitutionally risky or outright invalid. Taking into full account all valid standing orders, laws and rulings.

The Presidents most important advisors are subject to Senate approval precisely because they are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution and laws first.

If the president says he believes arresting disagreeable members of the Supreme Court is Constitutionally supported because yadda, yadda, yadda, you don’t do it.

If the President directs the Vice President not to certify an election, because he interprets that role as active and worthy of pauses and delays to settle issues the President deems Constitutionslly important during an election…

But you the Vice President, after careful thought and consultation believe your role is ceremonial, you fulfill the ceremony.

Intelligence doesn’t relate to a visceral feeling, like charisma or power or status or wealth. It has nothing to do with social standing or living your best life. It’s just a metric, like blood pressure or megahertz. If anything it has dork connotations. It’s not surprising it doesn’t sound hot. It is good for social proof—if you claim to like intelligence you sound discerning.

"Europe" is far too general to say much. Even within the EU, you will find CoL differences in the order of 2-3+x, very, very different cultures, developer pay, developer jobs (do you want a high-octane unicorn job or work for a small outsourced IT service?).

Maybe you don't know and fair enough, but it feels like a good start to make it more firm. You mention somewhere you want to stick to English, I certainly don't recommend moving to the UK right now. I don't know much about Ireland, but it's worth expanding your search. English is the lingua franca of software anyway and for the job it will be sufficient anyway. But you would really need to learn some local language elsewhere. It's also not as hard as it sound, people in Europe (mostly...) are very supportive and patient with foreigners trying to learn the language.

FWIW, Poland is worth looking at and not mentioned much on this thread. So long as you don't mind living 300km from Russia+Belarus.

It's surprising the NSA would be this sloppy and obvious, or maybe they don't care about attribution in this situation, or maybe someone else did it. But I've read attribution of Chinese attackers using work hours and thought the attackers were sloppy and obvious.

> A key observation from the Chinese case notes was the extensive use of big data analysis, particularly in tracking “hands-on keyboard” activity. This approach enabled Qihoo 360 to identify patterns, such as the alleged absence of activity on Memorial Day, and precisely documenting the operational hours of the attackers, allowing 360 to isolate activity to Monday-Friday, EST working hours.

If the blogger's claim of experience is true, they must know about the things I've read. I wonder what they are thinking of.

The United States had a spoils system of government administration until at least the late 1800s. The spoils system was still prevalent in many state and city governments until the mid 1900s.

This didn't mean officials were permitted to violate the law, but self-dealing and bald partisanship in administration was rampant, and of course violations of the law often went unpunished as administration officials had (and have) discretion to prosecute.

Musk and Trump are not concerned about debt or spending. If they were, Trump and Republicans wouldn't be rushing a billionaire tax cut bill that will add tens of trillions of dollars to the national debt.

If Trump cared about debt he wouldn't have run up $8 trillion in debt his last term with PPP helicopter money and more billionaire tax cuts.
The realignment is less about globalism vs nationalism + multi-polar world and more about creating a tolerance for expansionist nationalism whereby we establish an agreement with major powers to divide up the world for open conquest, with Russia, China and the United States all operating in their respective "sphere of influence"

I think its proponents imagine a world where Russia slowly reassembles territories it lost in the '91 and maybe China takes Taiwan with some short wars and the United States just chills out. In practice the United States will likely aggressively pursue its interests in North, Central and South America as well as the Middle East and do so in a destructive fashion. We can also see people manufacturing consent on various male-audience podcasts for a hot war along the Mexican border in the name of destroying the cartels. The idea that an 8% or even 16% budget cut the pentagon could somehow neuter our ability to project power at our doorstep is naive.

I think this is commonly accepted now (maybe?), but tendons, ligaments, and cartilage don't heal well without movement to increase fluid exchange. When I was a kid it was a big deal to avoid any pressure on these tissues after an injury, but it seems imperative for recovery.

When my kids hurt themselves in sports, it's straight to easy yoga, light calisthenics, and lecturing them for not cross training and treating their tissues better when they aren't competing. I sound like a dumb old man to them now, but I think in 10 or 15 years they'll be spending a lot more time focused on building that kind of resilience.
Patents are the main thing here.

Building a cellular modem, complete with working protocol stack, entirely in software has been done as a 1 person open source project.

Making a production -ready modem is clearly more complex, but far from hard for a company with the resources of Apple.

However, doing so whilst not violating any of qualcomms huge array of patents is the real challenge.

I'm willing to bet that the release date of this phone probably closely aligns with the expiry date of a patent they couldn't work around.

Only recently has it become placid in the US. I expect social media also removes the desires to actually march or do something even louder. If Biden was this busy we'd be hearing a lot more "2nd Amendment!" talk.
Please point me to the EOs Biden signed that gave him absolute power.
Yup, this is fair. But I'd also guess that deregulation of news media in the 80s(?), turning it into entertainment, tipped the scales in favor of news media that promoted fear/disgust, which, in turn, gave the GOP a massive advantage. The GOP progressively cornered the market on paranoiac lunacy probably after the Civil Rights act, Goldwater's defeat, and Vietnam. A boring journalistic environment, with legally enforceable objectivity, would have been good for the left. What we had instead -- an environment that rewards sensationalism and outrage, appealing to the amygdala -- was good for the right.

I found her work years ago, when I had a suspicion of why I'd get headaches while folding laundry. A Web search turned up her papers, I stopped using dryer sheets and scented laundry detergent, and laundry-folding headaches stopped immediately.

Separately, it turned out a bunch of people and pets who had windows near the laundry room vents of my large condo building would get headaches and breathing problems from the exhaust. The complaints stopped down after most residents stopped using scented laundry products. Though IIUC, the dryer exhaust can still contain some nasties, just not as much as before.
Wow this is dumb. Do these people realize that the same places have different names in different languages? Don't Mexicans speak Spanish? Can't it still be called 'Gulf of Mexico' in Spanish and 'Gulf of America' in English?

For example, Germany is called Deutschland in German... Yet you don't see Germans demanding that we rename Germany to Dutchland to make it more consistent... They don't have jurisdiction over the English language.

I was also confused when Turkey made everyone rename it to Türkiye... I understand that they don't want to be confused for the Turkey bird but that 'u' letter with 2 dots doesn't even exist in English. WTF?
You look at Google maps and all the countries use English letters except one; Türkiye. WTF? Seems like English language is being appropriated.

They also shredded him for wearing a tan suit. We’re living in absolutely insane times. I have no faith the Republicans will do anything meaningful to reduce the spending, as they’ve historically done the opposite. But who knows? Maybe they will this time if only to cement the death of democracy in America.
> 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.

I think there’s a huge natural reason for both parties to get behind significant and aggressive cost cutting, which is the accumulating debt and wasted spending on interest payments. Reductions in costs, even outside mandatory spending, will have an effect on reducing the amount of debt and burden of financing. They will also make the economy more resilient since it will be less sensitive to interest rates. This is critical to retaining a stable economy even when other countries, such as China, are in difficult economic positions.

> A once in a century opportunity to end the age of American empire and reorient America for the inevitable multipolar future.

If there is a multipolar future, I hope the other superpowers are countries that are relatively peaceful and share values like free speech. I don’t trust China to be that country as long as it is led by the CCP, as long as it continues to hold onto (or threaten) territories that aren’t rightfully a part of China (like Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan). It’s in America’s interests to prevent a multipolar future since the only other competitor is China. Maybe that will change - I’d be more willing to accept a future where the other superpowers are Europe or India or whatever.

But any multipolar situation requires the US cut spending and fast. If there is a true competiting power, it will mean America will have to live with the realities of a weaker dollar, high debt, and other headwinds (like low growth, high interest rates, inflation).
That’s what a multipolar world is. It allows Russia and China to do in their back yards what America has always done in its back yard.

I wonder if those building data centers (I don't know about those building in Malaysia) see authoritarianism as a downside; many of them support such things.

Also, I'm surprised that people describe these events as particular occurances. It's a pattern followed all over the world now, including in the US. Who stands up now for freedom, democracy, and the necessary component of those things, toleration?

I'm asking myself that as well. Even if Trump is convicted, JD Vance will still run some of their not-illegal-but-still-kinda-crazy plans. Is over half of congress really just okay with a President declaring himself King? It's a bit absurd.
