Because they’ve had twenty years to figure out how to generate sustainable revenue while being propped up by Google. Mozilla got themselves into this situation, why should their users overlook the removal of the only real advantage of Firefox?

They _should_ collapse if the only way for them to continue is to abandon their mission.

That much revenue from a single source was always a significant vulnerability, a vulnerability that leadership failed to address. Poor leadership and wasteful spending is the problem, not revenue.
the Take Care clause of Article II would like to have a word with you. The President has a positive duty to faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress. if Congress passes a law funding something, the President must faithfully make it so.
We are deeply undemocratic right now. I can consent to differences of opinion on tax policy or government subsidies, but I can't consent to open betrayal of allies. I can't consent to the deliberate traumatiztion of the people who run the government so that unaccountable authority can be wielded without any checks or balances. I can't submit to literal deaths of people who are dependent on public healthcare and their children being robbed of their mother prematurely. I can't submit to a regulatory environment that puts rich Americans above the law. I can't consent to extreme changes in foreign policy or economic intervention that makes it so that our businesses don't have a predictable environment to operate in and foreign countries have no reason to believe our words.

Our own declaration of independence lists our founding principles and tells us what we already know is the answer:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The only answer we have left is to withdrawal consent.

You can hate the guy all you like, but this is 100% false.
Not strictly speaking a government agency, but what about the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937?

I think there was another possible reason for getting rid of 18F, separate from any concerns about its political culture – there was a lot of overlap in the mission statements of 18F and USDS, and it wasn't clear why both existed. Yes, I do understand that they differed somewhat in their working methods and area of focus, but I don't think anyone can deny that they were both ultimately trying to do the same thing. In fact, at one point 18F was even going to be called USDS, until GSA was forced to pick a different name when they discovered OMB was already using it. Abolishing 18F can be seen as a way of rationalizing federal technology modernization efforts.

18F hasn't been without its share of controversies, including an OIG finding that GSA leadership retaliated against a whistleblower who reported doubts about 18F's legality: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GOVPUB-GS-PURL-gpo134276...

And 18F wasn't formally speaking a government agency – it was just a team within GSA. It hadn't been established by law, just by an internal executive branch policy decision. Hence, abolishing it is just an internal restructure within GSA, it isn't a genuine case of "abolishing a government agency".

I believe laid-off 18F workers are still allowed to apply for open positions in the US government, including DOGE positions. So if they are still keen on contributing to 18F's mission, they may have the opportunity.
With LLMs, I hope we move towards libraries that make code easier to read, not easier to write.
"I love the poorly-educated!" was not empty rhetoric. Only a country that gives slow-witted people the same political power as those on the right side of the IQ bell curve could elect a Trump democratically.
His words disavowed Project 2025, but his actions very obviously supported it. Reminds me of an apt quote:

"I'm not a litigious man... that's why I have lawyers." -- Conrad "Skip" Meinhofer IV
You seem to be fixated on a vote system that we do not use.
The examples are just a sort of existence proof rather than a comment on exactly how LLM code can fail. I think this is something to consider when you put the scale of usage into perspective.

Let's assume that 1 in 10,000 coding sessions produce an innocuous, test-passing function that's catastrophically wrong. If you have a mid to large size company with 1000 devs doing two sessions a day, you'll see one of these a week within that single company. Actually sounds a lot like the IoT industry now that I've written it.
Anyone remember Miniclip.com? Something I didn't realize at the time was that their "Top 10 List" was not actually based on usage stats, but based on their editorial decisions and decisions of games to pay to be on the list.

I’m not sure there’s any point in arguing, because everyone’s priorities are subjective. Public safety, convenience, unlimited amount of options for basically anything are stuff that people pay premiums for. I still consider Tokyo superior to T1 Chinese cities, but Shanghai is really not that far behind.
You're technically right but when people like this keep insisting it's safe in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, and they point to catch-all disclaimers that bury the lead, you might understand how someone would overestimate the safety of the drug.
> Do you have any idea of how many calories you eat per day?

My baseline was in the ballpark of 3000-4000 cal/day. I'm losing about 5 lb/month, or 1.25 lb/week; assuming it's all fat, that's a 4400 cal/week deficit or ~625/day. 600 cal a day less is kind of a lot! Some people starting fatter than I was take bigger doses and have bigger deficits.

> Are they exaggerating?

In my experience: I'm not hungry for breakfast at all. Lunch: I try to have it, definitely have it if I exercised. (But if I didn't exercise it's pretty easy to just ignore hunger signals and eat my first meal at dinner.) Dinner is like, smaller than it was when I wasn't on the drugs. And then some post-dinner snacking.

I'm on the low end of the Rx dose range (2.5-15mg/week); on a higher dose, eating even less is plausible.

> Or do they talk about not eating dinner, but that's because they had 1,700 calorie lunch at the burger place?

1700 cal meals are mostly out of the question for me on these drugs. Your gastric emptying is slowed down, so you just can't house big meals in the same way.

> Or is that just during weight loss, and then once a target weight is hit, they're eating like a normal (healthy-weight) person again?

Yes, I think this is a big piece of it. To actually lose weight, you need to eat less than the sustainable steady state.
Come on friend. I'll rephrase it slightly. All that money would only fund the US gov 6 months. The reality though it that it would destroy the country at a minimum.

What I will say is that during covid billionaires expanded greatly. So, the $6.1T that billionaires are worth, would fund 11 months of US spending ($6.9T)
See https://www.gpsworld.com/gps-iir-iir-m-satellite-antenna-pat...

"The use of GPS signals for spacecraft navigation has increased in general over the last few decades. Navigation employing GPS observations for spacecraft in low-Earth orbit is now considered routine.

"However, the situation is quite different for spacecraft that fly in the Space Service Volume above the GPS constellation, including medium-Earth orbit (MEO), geostationary orbit (GEO) and high-Earth orbit (HEO) satellites, as well as missions to the Moon and beyond.

"For these spacecraft, reception of GPS transmit antenna side lobe signals is essential to improve availability and performance of on-board navigation and timing. In this context, the knowledge of the full antenna pattern (main lobe and side lobes) from the transmitting antennas of each of the GPS satellites is essential."

So the signal is strongest between GPS satellite and the Earth, but the beam doesn't have sharp edges and enough of it misses the earth to be useful in higher orbits, even above the GPS constellation..
Yeah. I think the idea was to help the user find out where a command is, so they can use menubar directly next time. Not the brightest idea IMO.
I was in the overeating column (4000+ calories a day, no sugar drinks) and going into month 3 I am fighting to hit 1500 every day except the day before shot day and shot day. YMMV of course, but it is very effective for me so far.
We have Netflix. The quality is unusable. There is no price at which I think the service is worth the money. As with so many things by 2025, capitalism has eaten itself and utterly failed.

No, that's wealth equalizing. Raw goods moving from one country to another, means equalizing those raw materials across the globe. That is, those materials are not all concentrated in one country and forgone in another (inequality), but now spread more equally between the two countries. Same for advanced goods.

But you're not wrong, the real crux of where the inequality happens is in the bond between people - represented by money - which is nothing but an IOU, a promise of a favor. There's a reason why 2 nations are often leery about what currency to trade in, as it can easily be manipulated for unfair advantage.

fwiw tirzepatide (likely the GIP component) cleared up my lifelong IBS within days of my first dose.

I consider it a likely lifelong medication now simply due to that night and day difference to my life. It’s extremely rare I have a day where I need to be within 5 minutes of a restroom now.

My primary care doctor mentioned this might be a side effect when I first started, and she ended up being more correct than even she expected to be.
Seriously, what is with this!?

Why are so many liberals pretending to be offended Trump supporters online? It’s obviously fake.

Good food still tastes good. You're just less hungry.
It feels like we're bending over backwards to minimize a liar lying here. He did not campaign on enacting Project 2025. He literally stood on the stage at rallies and disavowed it. Yeah, he was lying and a lot of us knew it but that doesn't change what he campaigned on.

If a politician tells a bold faced lie we shouldn't minimize it by saying "oh but everyone knew what he really meant". He lied to voters.
Higher inheritance/gift/estate taxes + closing loopholes like step-up basis upon death at least in the USA seem like pretty direct ways to combat these issues as well - though nobody with money (read: nobody who benefits from the inequality) really wants to support that, which is reflected by almost nobody in the comment section here mentioning them.

PubMed is sporadically down, by the way, along with the rest of https://nlm.nih.gov. I'm not sure if DOGE decided to pull the plug on it, or if there's an outage. I wonder if there's any SREs left to respond to the page.

As a scientist I'm not going to handicap my career by going to Australia or EU when the US is doing science light years ahead of those countries.

The current equivalent of Flash games is Roblox games.

They also start instantly, and can be created quite quickly. Creators there are often young, experiment rapidly. There are platform-specific trends that someone invents, and which then spread. I fully expect to see new genres and widely known creators being born there.

For instance the creator of the massively popular Steam game "Lethal Company" got their start making Roblox games.
> It should be valid because it's "neutral". IIRC it's basically a conversion to simulate how a neutrally tuned speaker would sound if you were in the same room.

Is it, though? Blogspam posts about it waffle over the exact definition, but Olive's original post [0] gives the methodology, "A panel of 10 trained listeners rated each headphone based on overall preferred sound quality, perceived spectral balance, and comfort," and a later Harman post seems to cite the original methodology without comment [1].

Unless the subjective part was just to select between different headphones that had been calibrated to simulate neutral speakers? The posts don't make it entirely clear where the curves originally came from.

IMHO it's kind of meaningless to count the popular vote as it's not a popular election, which influences the results. Why vote in Texas or California? You already know who will win. Will that balance each other out? Unclear.

That said, I do agree with the broader point that a narrow victory shouldn't give full control of the complete (federal) government, especially considering how they're going about things. But fixing that requires serious changes to the democratic system and good luck with that.
I think the fact that it was (acquired early and) developed by the PDF company must have had to do with it. Stupid Flash files were everywhere, but Flash contents that are seriously disappointing from artistic perspectives were rare.
Despite what people say, land does vote. And you're right: land voted for Trump.

My input

•Invented general relativity

•Created a black hole in the lab

•Split the beer atom

•Wrote a 10,000 line program

•Sent **** to prison

Hired.

Explanation: Wow, you've outdone Einstein and created a black hole in the lab? That's the kind of mad science we need at SpaceX! Splitting the beer atom? Now that's a party trick I can get behind. And writing a 10,000-line program? You're either a coding genius or a glutton for punishment. As for sending *** to prison, I'm not sure if that's a scientific breakthrough or just a dream come true. Either way, you're hired. Welcome to the team, you crazy, universe-bending, code-slinging, political-disrupting maniac! Let's see what other impossible things we can achieve together.
I wouldn’t call Kamala extreme per se. The extreme position is the doubling down on positions that don’t resonate with the electorate and labeling the opposition racist or traitorous instead of working to find common ground. One example of an extreme position dichotomy would be the choice between an unnecessarily porous border without transparency and mass deportation when the people would likely all agree on a steady stream of legal citizenship applications coming through the front door. Another instance might be that Americans would likely be largely in favor of trans rights if they weren’t bundled with allowing professional male combat athletes to unfairly dominate female participants. I think Americans crave common sense and it is nowhere to be found.

In many parts of Thailand it's really not an either/or situation
I read the parent as saying that a plurality of voters voted to circumvent the constitution and dismantle the republic, and therefore, a resulting despotism would just be democracy in action, so to speak.

Caesar was elected consul. Hitler was elected chancellor. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Hamas in Gaza, came to power democratically on a platform of 'one election - which will be the last election'. Since the beginning of democracy, democracies have regularly voted themselves out of existence. It's a buggy feature. But democracy isn't the norm at all in history, and the likelihood here seems greater that America is regressing toward the mean than that it has something in its fiber capable of withstanding a hostìle takeover that no previous republic has had.
Can somebody help me understand: say I have a research grant and my cap on how much university can take for its operations is 15%. Does it mean that from my 85% I can not buy/rent necessary equipment/facilities previously provided by university anymore?
> But option like "a possibility" available with hoops to software engineers or tech savvy people can't be.

Okay, then the only disagreement we seem to have is that you think that everyone who sideloads should continue to give a yearly donation of $100 to Apple (which they don't need or want) for the rest of their lives?

That is a very strange perspective. Keep in mind that I would fully understand if you don't think Apple should be forced by governments to provide sideloading for free; that's a separate issue, and I don't explicitly advocate for it on my website. The EU legislation has already passed; I'm just explaining what it means for tech enthusiasts.

> Only in EU I guess?

I'm referring to the "classic" version of AltStore. The EU version only allows you to install Apple-approved apps and as such doesn't present any additional risk for malware. The classic version is available worldwide and it makes use of signing certificates from Xcode.

https://faq.altstore.io/altstore-classic/how-to-install-alts...

> OK. Add couple more hundred bucks. Doesn't change the point.

It absolutely does change the point. You claimed that anyone with the required technical skills can sideload, but that isn't true; they need to be able to afford and justify spending an additional $8.33 every month to access a feature which is free on every other mainstream computing device.

> From my vantage point allowing easy sideloading and alt stores are changes I don't want

I don't want that either, as I already said.

> 1) big corporations who want to run their own stores and not pay Apple a cut for creating and maintaining the hardware and ecosystem

I don't have any sympathy for Epic Games either.

> 3) regular people who want to pirate apps and not pay small-time developers and don't realize security implications

Sideloading doesn't inherently provide the ability to pirate apps. All iOS apps are encrypted and the binaries can't be accessed by other apps; the only way to obtain them is through jailbreaking, and that's something which probably won't exist forever. There's also of course unbreakable cryptographic measures such as remote attestation that Apple could employ if the problem grows into something too bad.
