> when the majority of people who decided to vote voted for the person applying these policies

No candidate got a majority of votes. A majority means more than 50% of the votes. In this case, the leading candidate only received 49.5%, which is a plurality, not a majority.

What is really happening is that Billionaires are taking advantage of less educated voters by convincing them to vote against their self-interests. They do so by shifting focus to the "values and cultural issues" of the moment. In the past, it was gay marriage and abortion; today, it's trans kids and DEI. Once these issues dominate the conversation, little attention is paid to the real priorities and actions of these Billionaires: cutting funds to Medicaid, food stamps and other welfare programs, cuts to health insurance subsidies, cuts to education, cuts to medical research funding, cuts to development assistance to the poorest in the world and so on, all to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

What is the solution? Democrats should shift towards the center on the "values and cultural issues" in order to neutralize the conservative advantage, then they will be able to do things that the middleclass (and lower) cares about, such as healthcare and health research, education, consumer protections and so on, and make the Billionaires pay their fair share of taxes.

The debate can't be on "values and cultural issues", whatever they are, because that plays into Republican strengths.
My bad, dang just pointed this out as well:

The word you're looking for is "gift." That is a gift.
Tooling is pretty good; Ada has a package manager similar to Cargo (Alice: https://alire.ada.dev ), and you can install it pretty easily via GetAda ( https://getada.dev ), which brings in the compilers and any libraries you'd need.
(disclaimer: I'm the author of GetAda)

Desktop apps: definitely. There's bindings for various UI toolkits like GTK and I know of a few people working on games in Ada, usually thick bindings like SDL: https://github.com/ada-game-framework and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3eTxaOtL2Oxl9HbNOhI...
There's also Gnoga, which is similar to Electron for writing UI apps: https://github.com/Blady-Com/gnoga

A bunch of libraries for various drivers or other useful things on https://alire.ada.dev/crates.html
(to include something like "ada_gui" in your ada project, you would just use alire, e.g. `alr with ada_gui`).

Much of Ada's webapp functionality is either interfacing with the Ada Web Server or gnoga (I've written a few servers using Ada Web Server, including one for an ".io" game).

There's an LLVM compiler which in theory can produce wasm but I've not messed with it: https://github.com/AdaCore/gnat-llvm

Mobile platforms can be targetted and cross-compiled in Alire, but I'm not sure who's doing it right now.

For anyone interested, I definitely recommend checking out some of the presentations of Ada's recent FOSDEM dev room https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/ada/
Britain ran a global empire using this model, why wouldn't it work for the US?

Maybe read up on how it works before rejecting it out of hand?

Britain has a bicameral parliament, with the leader of the majority of the lower house forming the executive, but the head of state retains the constitutional ability to dissolve parliament and order new elections if the current government is unable to function.

Having an apolitical head of state might be worth looking into.
Turns out I was using the term completely wrong, and meant "secondary depression".

Thanks.
Do you continue trusting people that lie to you?
Why are you moving the goalposts? I responded to your comment asking what if things go too good for Ukraine. Not sure how 'but what if things go bad' is a reasoned follow up on your part. :

"What happens if Ukraine is given sufficient support to start winning and Putin decides to go nuclear?
I don't want Russia to win either but we also have to operate in reality."
What do you mean by new emojis?
FDR was more extreme than Trump so far. For instance consider banning private ownership of gold by executive order.

Mind you, Trump could still declare himself dictator. But based on what's happened so far? FDR was more extreme.
Yeah, I suppose I binned the "other" voters as no-votes, but thanks for pointing it out.
> Though obviously in this case they'll probably just tell you to use their own python library and not boto.

What’s the point of S3 compatibility then?
He repeatedly stated he knew nothing about Project 2025. So arguably he's not following through on his campaign promises. Some of his voters I'm sure saw through his bullshit, but many were conned.

It's a far stretch to say that this is what the majority of his voters wanted. Certainly many Republican voters have seemed very upset about this stupid blitzkrieg dismantling of core services.
facebook has also taken the approach of undercutting and betting on subdizing their other products. It's a risky bet to assume the llm tech itself will last long as a moat.
Your argument doesn't work because the data already accounts for differences in GPA and MCAT scores. It’s not comparing total applicants—it’s comparing applicants with the same academic qualifications.

If admissions were race-neutral, then students with the same GPA and MCAT score should have similar acceptance rates. But the data shows black and Hispanic applicants get accepted at much higher rates than equally qualified Asian and white applicants.

Your example about total applicants (10 vs. 10,000) doesn’t apply here because the issue isn’t how many people applied, but who gets in when they have the same credentials.
> (...) but a lot of the time, I'd say even most of the time, you can get away with just a big ol' global ConcurrentDictionary (or whatever the equivalent is in your language of choice).

That's fine if all you're doing is caching limited data independently on each node and you have no requirement for consistency or even durability.

Most of the usecases you stumble upon do not fit that scenario. That's why "a lot of the time" suggesting a dictionary is plain wrong.
No I'm happy with this result, you're not. You want to put a boot on my throat. You're unhappy with the sudden change of a slight, probably temporary shift of America being run by popular will rather than elite consensus, unless elite consensus changes to align with the popular will (hopefully).

Liberal nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan was not sane. Continued escalation of Ukraine war was not sane. Mass immigration from 3rd world and open borders, mixed with subsidization of these groups with welfare and social spending while they commit more crimes and work less is not sane.

This anti democratic talk ("I don't like the outcome so the system has failed and must be burned down and my political opponents deserve violence against them") is the kind of thing that deserves a call to the FBI or Secret Service to be honest. No one likes violence against them, not just CEO's but even regular people voting for their interests like more than half of the country you're calling for violence against.
I imagine a future where we'll bind a fine-tuned tech-support model to each project and let the general purpose models consult tech support rather than winging it themselves. In that world you'd only have to optimize for whichever one you've chosen.

It'll be like a slack support channel, for robots.
If it works, we should probably rename it to UNSS
> i.e. Physicians should squeeze as much training as possible into the allotted years. This is reasonable, especially for surgical specialties where procedural reps are a commodity for trainees.

It's mixed, though. We don't know how much "squeezing as much training" helps or hinders future performance. We do know that sleep debt hurts retention of new knowledge and skills.

So I'm not positive whether "50% more training, but with not enough sleep during most of the interval" will result in better outcomes.

> I'd be more open to this line of reasoning if physician's salaries had kept pace with inflation over the last 30 years

Doctors in the US are artificially scarce and artificially expensive compared to the rest of the world. The artificial scarcity of residencies also contributes to the unusually harsh residency work conditions.
"PEP 453 – Explicit bootstrapping of pip in Python installations" https://peps.python.org/pep-0453/#changes-to-virtual-environ... :

> Python 3.3 included a standard library approach to virtual Python environments through the venv module. Since its release it has become clear that very few users have been willing to use this feature directly, in part due to the lack of an installer present by default inside of the virtual environment. They have instead opted to continue using the virtualenv package which does include pip installed by default.

He's not a king, he's a public servant with a certain defined set of powers.

Doesn't matter how many people voted for him or why.
The onboarding was that you just start key frame animating and pasting in actionscripts.
I have tried to explain the sense of "good investment" that is meant by policymakers and voters and the cliche above. You have tried to explain that there is another sensible definition available. I don't disagree, but I think it is beside the point.
I guess I misread you, then. I thought you were arguing that a text mode wouldn't be useful. That's why I suggested Server Core. It's CLI, but uselessly framed in a GUI framework.

Like I said in my earlier post, text mode NT is my fever dream fantasy. Maybe you were saying the same thing.
Now you're living in real fantasyland!

Seriously, I agree with you, but I don't know how to solve that problem either. The DNC is just completely bereft of good ideas and at this point seems about as useless as the Mitt Romney-era Republican party was.
Irrelevant. He disavowed it.

He might be a well known liar, and people might’ve been stupid to believe him when he disavowed Project 2025, but his campaign did not promise to enact these policies.
I agree, they should make it clear.
We just went through a crisis which the federal government - both Trump and Biden administrations - attempted to alleviate by handing people free money. Are poor people better off because of it?
The take loans from the Treasury to cover the shortfall.

I have spent my career working on software that measures its size in MLOC (millions of lines of code). Not because it's Java, but because it's big.
This is true. The GOP prey on gullible low-information voters.

He repeatedly denied knowledge of the Project 2025 plan that's now in action.
Have you seen some of these GOP town hall videos?
No brain fog, but in my experience it does impact exercise (similar to any other caloric deficit). Both maximal efforts (e.g., heavy barbell squats) and endurance (hours on the bike).
I don't think this is at all guaranteed by free trade. You could have one country stuck in a rut where they're exporting only raw goods, and they have to buy everything from a (smaller) country making more advanced goods and selling them back. Of course, the balance has to even out, but it the money is spread between more people on one end then it doesn't mean they'll be as well off as the other country.
That’s odd, unlike the USA, Australia is in fact a country the size of a continent…
Haha, according to this tool I am unemployed again! And I had a very productive week, by the way. Of course, it doesn't take into account how useful my creative pursuits were, it looks like it's evaluating me on my contributions to the mission to Mars? I didn't know the bureaucracy was tasked with that.
Looks like one more reason for the list!
yes it does. The house does not.

The senate was always set up to artificially prop up smaller (by population) states. The House was not. But we've artificially capped the House. Now they both favor lower population states.
This is a really important difference

Historically, authoritarian regimes have handled setbacks like these by scapegoating target minorities and other undesirables.
How long will California maintain GDP dominance when major parts of business are in the pocket of Trump? Won't they just pack up and leave, tanking Californias economy with it?
The problem is that, through the pardon power combined with immunity from prosecution, the president can shield the entire executive branch from any obligation to execute on the laws that congress writes. It effectively neuters congress and prevents it from making any permanently effective law. Enforcement is instead left to the whims of the current congress and president at any time (who could be highly partisan Democrats, Republicans, or anyone else). That is clearly not how the constitution is intended to work.
I might as well just lift my own boot straps and fly away to Utopia.
They really aren’t. Lots of contempt of court happening by the executive branch.
Remember when it came out that Project 2025 was going to be the playbook? And Trump disavowed it but all evidence pointed to the contrary? And our priors pointed to him not being inclined to tell the truth?

That's when we knew this would happen.
His actions were outlined in Project 2025 throughout his candidacy. Surprised all it took was a simple statement of ignorance for people to completely dismiss what was plainly written what was going to happen (and currently is).

I think the appetite reduction is too effective for you because you didn't previously have an overeating problem.

For those who do, it makes them have a normal appetite.

Additionally, it seems to make junk food taste less appealing and real food more appealing.
>Even with vaccinations, you should attempt to avoid risk of infection if you can.

This is especially true when the circulating affliction can be spread silently by vaccinated persons who have no symptoms but can be actively shedding virus.
I think it's parliamentary syndrome. In Canada MPs aren't allowed to tweet anything at all until it's approved by the leaders office. Instead of unique individual persons representing constituents there's effectively 1 dictator with a hundred faces. Same issue for the democrats where everyone has to be sanded down to fit the mold.

Americans don't actually understand how the government works either. We pretend there's an election but in reality it's already happened. The majority of districts are 'safe' so whoever wins the primary in a safe district automatically wins the election. The person who wins the primary is almost always the person the party endorses. In practice the party endorsement is the election. The endorsement process is controlled by party insiders so the net effect is that they pick the government, not the voters.
The director of the NIH testified to Congress that they funded gain of function research in Wuhan:

The OIG also made clear the NIH and EcoHealth did not have proper oversight:

https://oig.hhs.gov/reports/all/2023/the-national-institutes...

Edit: I missed the bit about the funding being specific to COVID 19. The CIA endorsed the lab leak hypothesis with low confidence, but I'm not sure that there's hard evidence that this particular funding corresponds directly with a particular strain that is believed to be what became COVID. If it was, I doubt any evidence that would prove it still exists.
Everyone spies on everyone but when an American businessman is arrested the UK or when a Spanish businessman is arrested in Australia, something that I'll bet you has happened many times, generally speaking the US will not grab British "spies" and throw them in the dungeon pending the release of their businessman.

I will concede this was a very high profile extradition request but if let's say Sir James Dyson is arrested on charges of fraud in the US the UK is not going to grab CIA spies and throw them in the dungeon. If he did commit fraud in the US he would likely go to jail. Maybe he'll serve his jail term in the UK. Maybe he'll be pardoned through some diplomacy.

Some Googling shows this isn't fiction: https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jul/28/cle...

What your describing is something that would have been a practice of sorts during the cold war between Russia and the US. Essentially something you do when you're at war.

EDIT: I'm not familiar enough with the Hunter Biden case but possibly something fishy was going on (e.g. this laptop suddenly appearing). Trump is... Trump. The rule of law is not perfect, people in power can get away with things the rest of us can't, but nothing is perfect. In place without the rule of law many people just disappear and you have no recourse and people in power get away with a lot more.

I think the main reason isn’t the utility gap – more like “nobody got fired for buying IBM^W AWS” kind of thing.
I disagree. In particular, the complete disrespect with which he and Elon are going about "cutting costs" and the way he's handling Ukraine would likely have lost him the election were they known beforehand.
Indeed, meditation is the best approach I've found as well. It can be seen clearly -- not as an idea, but a direct realization -- precisely why the mind's attempts to pin "this" down are futile. I don't have a better word for that experience than "miraculous."

When covid shutdowns killed the hospitality industry, the workers found new careers and when things opened up again there was a huge labour shortage. Even in couple years if things are restored, who will want to return when they know the next government could just come in and pull another hatchet job.
Realistically, that won’t matter. He can’t be reelected, so he’s free to do as he likes, irrespective of public opinion.
Those states would never have signed onto the constitution without the senate. It’s not ‘artificial’. It’s a core part of why the USA came to be.
Yes, those of us paying attention knew that when he disavowed Project 2025 he was talking nonsense. But OP said Trump "campaigned on doing exactly these things". He didn't. He campaigned on literally disavowing these things.

"we knew this would happen" !== "he campaigned on doing exactly these things"
I mean yeah, it isn’t really open – but it’s the informal “standard” that everyone is using nowadays. You can’t really expect every cloud provider and every app to just switch to WebDAV or something (though we can push for a gradual change here somehow!)

I swear I can not prepare myself anymore for the sheer hypocrisy that is about to happen in four years! You know it’s going to happen, but my issue is the theatre of it all.
This is my point, he specifically disavowed Project 2025 while campaigning.
I remember warnings of all this bullshit going around the socials. Kinda funny how it's playing out *exactly the fuck like those warnings portrayed*.

For those who voted for him I understand the people who are happy about what's happening. Those who claim they didn't "vote for this": they don't deserve to have a vote. The writing was on the wall in clear script.
"Only" 58% oppose the pardons according to [1]. I mean, it's a majority, but it's not what I'd call "wildly unpopular". It was always going to be opposed by a vast majority of Democrat voters, so relatively few Republican voters oppose it. I find it rather concerning.

Back in the day much was said about Bush's "historically low" approval ratings too. It was somewhat satisfying to see, but in the end it didn't really seem to matter much. He still got re-elected.
