The problem is that it is literally not the police's job to decide who is or is not a criminal (which, by the constitution, can only be determined by a fair trial, until which they must be presumed innocent), only to gather evidence and catch suspects, and it is supposed to be their job to serve and protect all citizens (which, despite their attitudes, include suspects).
Yes it is trivial for the scope of presidential interpretation to extend over the executive branch. And this excerpt posits nothing about the oversight authority of other branches.

The more interesting phrase is about the AG. While the AG is already constitutionally understood to serve at the president's pleasure, this EO curtails any informal independence that the AG is afforded from past norms.

So I suppose it's declaring that AGs under a Trump administration shall serve as rubber stamps with no independent authority to interpret the law, granted via his claimed constitutional supremacy over the executive branch.

Perhaps it is a edict to AGs who've resisted orders from the President recently, to notice them that job title is the most supreme form of legal analysis in this executive branch. IANAL

Exactly. So many people commented on tech sites that they loved the mini sized device but didn’t buy it because they want a pro spec mini. Like there aren’t any trade offs by making the phone smaller. Apple arguably made the best small phone ever made and plenty of supposedly small phone lovers turned their nose up at it. Turns out even they value other things more than the size.
Watching your chickens die sucks, my friend. They don't just drop dead overnight. It's often many days of watching them slowly suffer.

Then imagine spreading that misery to all the wild birds you love in your neighbourhood.
I mean this as unjudgementally as possible, but the first reason is super creepy no matter how well intentioned your use case is. I don’t think we were meant to prioritize capturing the moment so highly.
Isn't that part of the world usually has warmer climate? Unless the electricity there is somehow extremely cheap, I can't see how they can compete with Iceland, for example.
The will of the people is better reflected by people appointed by their elected representatives than by bureaucrats.

I am very confident that you probably do understand that.
>So this EO is not just declaring "the Executive Branch will obey me", but also saying "the Executive Branch has been so disobedient that I need to take immediate action to quash that"

I mean, bureaucrats literally lied to Trump in his first term about troop numbers in Syria so that he wouldn't take action to pull them out (and then bragged about it after Biden got in): https://taskandpurpose.com/news/us-troop-levels-syria-jeffre...
Well, yes, but we hear quite a bit about China or Russia or North Korea or wherever attacking us.

I've quite literally seen people ask "why don't we attack them back?"
It performs terrible if you have an intermittent workload. Like e.g. a request response workload where request processing is cheap (so that the time to increase the frequency matters). I've seen cases it's a more than 2x request latency increase.

It can be pretty annoying, because it means that systems can perform better under higher load and that you get drastically different latency depending on whether a request is scheduled on a core that just processed another request (already at high freq) or one that was idle.

And because the frequency control isn't fun enough, this behavior also exists with cpu idle states. Even at high frequency Linux can enter idle states...

I've debugged several cases where this set of issues has caused unintuitive behavior. E.g.

a) switching to a more powerful servers drastically increased latency

b) optimized code resulting in higher latency / lower throughout because that provided enough idle cycles for a deeper idle time between requests

c) slightly increased IO latency leading to significantly worse overall performance, due to the IO getting long though to clock down
> It blows my mind that someone can be a career congressperson.

Related gripe: How both houses of congress prioritize "seniority", so that changing a representative indirectly harms the interests of the people being represented. (Though possibly not as much as keeping the wrong representative in office.)

In other words, State X benefits more when their seats are _not_ competitive and subject to turnover, the quality of candidates being equal.

Others mentioned that it depends on the company, but in my experience it also really depends on the country. Paradoxically, it’s much more common to work overtime in Italy than in the Netherlands (where many people even work 32 hours a week)

Interesting how he brings up AI companies paying botnets to scrape sites, I hadn't heard of that before. It's extremely malicious behavior because as he mentions, it's literally a DDoS attack.

> But, increasingly, the scraperbot traffic does not fit that pattern. Instead, traffic will come from literally millions of IP addresses, where no specific address is responsible for more than two or three hits over the course of a week. Watching the traffic on the site, one can easily see scraping efforts that are fetching a sorted list of URLs in an obvious sequence, but the same IP address will not appear twice in that sequence. The specific addresses involved come from all over the globe, with no evident pattern.

> In other words, this scraping is being done by botnets, quite likely bought in underground markets and consisting of compromised machines. There really is not any other explanation that fits the observed patterns. Once upon a time, compromised systems were put to work mining cryptocurrency; now, it seems, there is more money to be had in repeatedly scraping the same web pages. When one of these botnets goes nuts, the result is indistinguishable from a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack — it is a distributed denial-of-service attack. Should anybody be in doubt about the moral integrity of the people running these systems, a look at the techniques they use should make the situation abundantly clear.
I live in an urban area and have ten chickens. They are nice to have but it is a hobby and nowhere close to economical. And with bird flu I had to spend another decent chunk of money on a much larger & covered run, since we no longer let them roam our yard during the day. We bought nice Omlet coops so there are certainly ways to do it more cheaply than we did, but even so it will take most people years to break even, and chickens need at least weekly maintenance.
It requires a level of detachment not everyone can accomplish. I brought them home, thinking that's how it would be. My wife fell in love with them, and basically stole them from me. And then it's been years of tears.

I'm still on iPhone 7+… It gets a new battery every 2-3 years and works great. I love how it has a big screen but feels much smaller and thinner in my pocket than any modern iPhone.

The library of journal templates in the Typst universe is growing day by day. A much bigger issue is some of these journals not yet accepting Typst submissions.
The labour and land step up from tending chickens to growing grain is a very large step. If you are organized enough to grow grain, and you're near a farming area, you'd be farther ahead to try to buy right off the field grain at harvest time for cash. Mechanized grain harvesting is an immense labour saver that is unavailable to people growing feed for backyard chickens.

What Makes a Great Software Engineer (Dissertation) (2016) [pdf]
The commonly-thrown-around figure for comparing contracting work to salaried work in the US involves multiplying the salary by about 3x to reach parity, since you have to pay your own employment taxes and health insurance, and to account for sometimes not having a full queue of work.

I guess that in the EU (and maybe .ch / .uk?), you wouldn't need to pay for health insurance as such, and I don't know whether they have this (barbaric, imho) notion of employment taxes, so maybe the number is closer to 1.5x, which would make 180k€ into 120k€ equivalent, which sounds quite good compared to OP saying that typical offers are around 1/3 of what they're making now.
It looks like they should have the line of possible impact and time of possible impact down fairly well as it approaches so it would probably only be necessary to drive a couple of hours, have an asteroid watch party and then drive a couple of hours back for most people. Of course if it took out your home then things might be awkward. Maybe take a tent.
Typically you don't work straight till 23:00, you just might log back on later in the evening (perhaps after putting the kids to bed) to finish up something when you know you'll get quiet time, or to align with colleagues in the AMER or APAC regions etc.
You have more money, so you should pay more in taxes. I know if might not sound right but it is better for all of us.
A market-based approach is not the solution to achieving equality or public transportation.

No it isn't. That's just the journalist unprofessionally injecting their political ideology into what is supposed to be a factual article.

> Most people ate lunch together; often at a restaurant.

This was such a big letdown when I moved back to the US from Italy. Over there, at the company I worked at, there were two big groups that mostly ate lunch together - those who brought something from home, and those who walked over to the local cafe to have some pasta or a salad or something.

People in Italy are pretty good at just kind of coexisting... like we weren't best friends or anything, but everyone was pretty friendly and cordial and we talked about stuff outside of work, and it was just a pleasant experience.

I'd forgotten about US work culture by the time we moved back here and in my new job, I asked a few people if anyone went to lunch regularly and got blank looks, and then I remembered what things are like here and had kind of a sad moment.

Show HN: ResumePlan – Personal AI writers to help build better resumes
Hey HN!

The job market is brutal. You have to send out 100s if not thousands of resumes, maybe tweak them just a bit so that you'll hate this process and give up.

Meanwhile, the guy or gal who's in the same boat, is using a tool that automatically tailors resumes AND cover letters, and can apply to 5x more jobs than you.

I built ResumePlan to address exactly this problem. Mostly, for myself, because I used to do that. Hundreds of resumes, all modified just a bit for each company and job description. This was even worst with cover letters.

What makes this different:

- Unlike other services, you can start with your EXISTING resume and improve it
- Make adjustments with AI writing in real-time
- Deep focus on quantifiable achievements when rewriting resumes
- Create cover letters and resumes extremely fast
- Resume reviews work with tons of pre-trained data to give you feedback on your current resume

Remember, "Pain is weakness leaving your body".
I think that part of what you are talking about is sometimes called "attestation". Basically a signature, with a root that you trust that confirms beyond doubt the provenience of the entity (phone + os + app) that you interact with.

Android has that and can confirm to a third party if the phone is running for example a locked bootloader with a Google signature and a Google OS. It's technically possible to have a different chain of trust and get remote parties to accept a Google phone + a Lineage OS(an example) "original" software.

The last part is the app. You could in theory attest the signature on the app, which the OS has access to and could provide to the remote party if needed.

A fully transparent attested artifact, which doesn't involve blind trust in a entity like Google, would use a ledger with hashes and binaries of the components being attested, instead of root of trust of signatures.

All of the above are technically possible, but not implemented today in such a way to make this feasible. I'm confident that with enough interest this will be eventually implemented.

In fairness, Apple started by licensing the ARM core which gave them a base to work from. The modem is fantastically harder unless you can license an existing design that's not qualcomm.
They bought intel’s entire modem unit, so it’s not a ground up design, but maybe that makes it worse… who knows what was causing intel to not be competitive in that space…

You can group your first three (food, water, shelter) under your fourth (survival). Then your next two examples are cases of how people feel.

On top of that you can find plenty of clear evidence for situations where humans choose feelings over survival, whether that’s giving up one’s own survival for the sake of people or a cause, or giving up on survival because emotional needs aren’t met.

It’s not as clear cut of a hierarchy as you seem to think it is.
He took it that way because without a charitable interpretation such as yours, the wording leaves power assigned vaguely enough end run judicial review. Given this administration's history with attempts to grab power, I'd say your interpretation is _far_ too charitable.
Implicit Yes, Explicit no.

This is basically a tightening of the "major questions doctrine". The idea is that Congressional law must be explicit or leave it up to the executive.

If law isn't clear, this states the executive decides, and it isn't a matter of supposing what congress intended, or would have wanted but didn't define.
> Salaries are much lower but quality of life (IMO) much higher.

I doubt quality of life is higher for senior engineers at big tech companies, other than having more time off. How many engineers have 3,000 sq ft house? How many can retire in their 50s if they want? Can they afford private tutors or nannies or fly first class?

Math seems to me like the hardest thing for LLMs to do. It requires going deep with high IQ symbol manipulation.

From my experience in Germany exclusively (after being half a year in the US). I can't speak for other countries, which may have friendlier visas for contractors working for foreign companies (like Portugal).

- The salary issue you are already aware.
- Germany is pretty straightforward for visas/permits, meaning the requirements are clear and if you fill them, you are in, no arbitrariness.
- Companies don't need to do anything related to the visa (though many don't know that). You apply yourself once you have a contract and is pretty easy. There's also a work search visa for people with your experience level.
- Last time I had to deal with the immigration office they were taking so long I had to pay a lawyer to expedite the process.
- The Germans have a much more relaxed attitude to work. The stats I read said 30 avg sick days per year, which wouldn't surprise me. At my last job there was always someone either sick or on holidays. On the other hand I had a supervisor who every Friday after noon would go grab a beer and bring me another one.
- Here was the first time in my life that I had time for real side-projects.
- I have 10yoe and had been out of a job for the last year. Friends in other industries also had difficulties. IDK whether it is because of my specific skills or the not-so-good economic situation.
- German culture is quite credentialist. This is in contrast to US culture (I guess anglo-saxon in general?) which I feel is a more pragmatic "show me what you can do".
- Contractor work is not straightforward. You have to have your main clients in Germany to apply for a freelance visa. Once you are a permanent resident it is easier, but there are laws related to disguised employment contracts. In general everything related to laws and taxes is more convoluted.

My main concern would be the medium and long term outlook, mainly economic but social too. As someone else mentioned, the economy has been stagnant for years, not really growing since 2008. One has to wonder why, given the good infrastructure, huge integrated market, qualified workforce, and lower salaries and cost of living, which would be a competitive advantage, you see the US decidedly in the lead in the tech industry. This is not so much of an issue if you're not here for the long run, though.
What about the constitutional directive that the President shall ensure that the laws are faithfully executed? Congress has prescribed how agencies may issue regulations and interpretations through statutes shouldn’t these statutes control?
And now you are in another country completely dependent on your employer in the US for your livelihood. The same set of companies that are laying people off left and right. I would much rather be in the US looking for a job if I got laid off than in another country as a US citizen.
