If the past 20 years have taught us anything, including Carlson's history since that segment, it's that this kind of "destroyed" (see also: "destroyed" on Twitter) is not a remotely useful kind of "destroyed", no matter how plain and thorough the destruction.
I know this is about Windows, but just in case any Mac users don't know, there's a default app called Screen Sharing (in Applications > Utilities) that lets you dial into any other Mac user's computer if you have their iCloud username, allowing you to both see and control their screen. It doesn't work 100% of the time - sometimes it requires a tweak on a wifi router on the other end - but it's saved me countless hours on unproductive phone calls while helping my mother with tech issues on her iMac.

It gives Google unparalleled power to influence web standards, effectively giving other browsers no choice but to adopt their preferred implementations.

They can push technologies that benefit their ads business (e.g. manifest 3 breaking ublock origin). And the notion "embrace extend extinguish" was practically invented for circumstances like this, of engaging the development community in a particular field of software, dominating it, and achieving leverage to change the way the web works.

>that having a lot of stakeholders prevents Google from unilaterally applying unpopular changes

Google controls commits to Chromium, and it does that with an invite only developer pool almost entirely of people associated with Google. The stakeholders don't have a proportionate hand in the destiny of Chromium. I think you're right that it's maybe better, in the sense that we could imagine something even worse, but that's loo low a benchmark to offer comfort that Chromium is having a net-positive impact on balance of power in terms of who can help you access the web.
Time for Europe to reduce the discussions and back Ukraine even more. Europe can't rely on Trump and his clowns anymore who will more likely side with Putin and other fascists than with free Europe.

They should use all frozen Russia's money assets to back Ukraine's war effort (it still didn't happen fully). And increase weapons production and armies to adequate sizes ASAP (this should have happened "yesterday").
It's also worth noting that Cyber Command doesn't just do the high level infosec/botfarm stuff. Their most useful work for common Americans is fighting ransomware groups and coordinated scammers. Many of which originate from Russia!

Depending on how this order is implemented, it's not just a political thing, but an opening of the door to actual robbers and thieves.

> Americans don't see russia as a threat

Seriously? Those Americans should remove their rose colored glasses. Even if you don't see Putin as a threat it is still important to spy on him.
No, I would fight them tooth and nail. As would any member of an invaded country. Duh.

But, if after several years a generation of my peers have been killed and I don't see a logic end to this war any time soon, well then I might start to re-evaluate.

But you know what's really dirty?

The pro-war people in the US are doing the opposite of what you say: gladly cheering on the slaughter of Ukrainians so long as it defeats the "boogeyman". Which side is more pro-Ukrainian? The side that results in more dead Ukrainians or less?
My take was the mineral deal was invented by Z (more likely staffers) as a clever ploy designed to appeal to T who is a colossal idiot and can only conceive of geopolitics as consisting of zero sum "deals" that one country makes with another. So they invented a deal. I always assumed it would be a shit deal for T, since idiot and all. But it seems he wanted the shit sandwich for free. Basically negotiated himself into no deal.

It's funny in that every job I've had since 1999 I have done some sort of bringing up a LAMP stack in some form or fashion. I know enough to search for each new flavor of Linux each place has used, but I would never consider myself nor insult actual full stack peeps by calling myself a full stack person. I'd fail any interview for that kind of position.

Then again, I'd say that for all of the other roles I've ever had. They were all self taught while learning on the job by learning from more experienced coworkers. I know enough to get something done, but I'd never have full faith that it would survive any kind of scrutiny other than it accomplished the task at hand.
Could be as simple as he wants to say he "ended" the war. If history offers any lessons, it's that he doesn't think too much about the details and doesn't care how his actions impact others.
The layoffs were a coordinated effort to take back power from the workers.

They realized they didn't have to employ all of the world's best software engineers to prevent new competition from starting up because they're already too entrenched.

The solution is DOJ/FTC mandated breakup. It'll oxygenate the entire tech sector by removing these bloated behemoths that aren't even monetizing most of their platform pieces.

The tech companies are becoming grocery stores, movie studios, primary healthcare providers, etc. and putting incumbents out of business. It's largess. Cross business unit subsidization to metastasize into entirely new markets. Because they have unreasonable scale where they can simply hulk into new things and spend a few billion dollars like it's pocket change.

Start demanding big tech breakup from your legislators.
> He fails, and he does that spectacularly.

And yet he comes back. The head of intelligence for the Ukrainian military, Kyrylo Budanov, was asked about Trump last year. He commented that Trump has failed and come back nine times. That was a good insight.

Budanov's comment about the current situation is here.[1] He says a cease-fire is possible in the near term, but not peace. That's realistic.

> anybody with a clear mind can see those people are mentally impaired.

One tiny newspaper, the Durango Herald, just came out and said that Trump should be removed via the 25th amendment
procedure for a sick president. Bing/MSN captured the beginning of the story, but if you try to follow the link [2], the message is "There has been a critical error on this website."
The story is not visible on their site, which is up. I sent them a note asking if they were pressured to pull the story.

> An application supposedly intended to allow you to browse pages of mixed text and images

This has not been the intended scope of the World Wide Web for well over 20 years, so this is not a reasonable supposition to make.

Of course, you are free to make claims about what the intent of the World Wide Web ought to be.
Okay, a video attributing fault of the UA crisis to the West. Which of the options I listed are you attempting to back with this source, or put another way, which of my implied claims does this counter? Help me see the relevance.

If we rewind the comment chain back to the root, and just consider this video in the context of today's meeting - can you explain how the points made by the video or the general attribution of fault for the crisis lends support to the strategy and conduct displayed earlier today?

If you want to talk about whether or not the US is at fault for the war, you're in the wrong thread.
It's hard for there to be a less authoritative figure on this stuff than Krebs.
In 2025, you have to be a bit creative to get the role you want now. You have experience in AI, so that is a great start.

If I were you I would do this:

1. Find a "AI" startup from this list here: [0]

2. As a side project, completely clone and compete on features with AI. (Seriously)

3. Monetize and launch it to everyone.

4. Repeat (1), until one of them takes off and brings in $$$.

You then have made something that makes money. Do it again. If one doesn't work out try another one. You've got access to the same AI tools they do and there is at least one startup on that list that is at risk of getting duplicated by you.

Who knows, you might not need a role at all or the competitor will just hire you on the spot. The question is, do you believe that you can market it better than them?

Cool, I hadn't seen this video. I am currently working on mapping the character tray and boxes of a Taiwanese Jue Shine typewriter, which uses a different mechanism:

The benefit of the tray system is that you can easily swap characters, which is essential for Chinese, but maybe less so for Japanese.

Yeah man all that stuff was built in the 80s to counter the Soviet threat. We have better stuff now.
Ukraine needs more manpower primarily, they keep saying it for a long time this is a critical issue, they have relatively enough equipment for waging war. At the end equipment can't solve it all, enough boots on the ground is what conquers or defends territories.
I'm reminded of that "CEO work week" chart [0] that shows 55 hours "worked" but 20 hours of it is "Miscellaneous - Travel, exercise, personal appointments, and other activities."

By that standard I think a lot of us could already be putting in CEO hours, we just didn't think to count a bunch of our personal activities as work time.

I think this:

> He’s got a dozen billionaires on speed dial that’ll give him endless money, much more than Russia can afford. Saudis donate hundreds of billions to businesses close to him, etc - he doesn’t want or need money

is flawed thinking.

No billionaire ever needs more money. But they all spend their time trying to make more money anyway. Think about it - these are people who have a billion dollars, but instead of starting charities and giving it away or retiring to an island, they take their money and power and use them to get more money and more power. It's greed. So I reject the idea that Donald Trump doesn't want more money.

That's the treaty. It was unconditional and unlimited in time, and Ukraine gave up something real for that security. Even if the rest of your argument holds, the lesson is there: don't give up things for promises from Russia. Today Ukraine would certainly rather have the nukes than a piece of paper.

As for the rest of it... As said, Ukraine wasn't really on track for NATO membership. But even if it was, this is all hyperbolic speech from Russia. For one, they themselves have no issue having lots of weaponry right on the border, in Kaliningrad and Belarus. For two, they made so much noise about Ukraine, well, basically not being ruled out of NATO, but when Finland, with a much longer border and more money actually joined NATO, they whimpered some half hearted threats and were done with it. Didn't seem to care much one way or the other.
It won't be indefinite, eventually the nukes will fly. On a long enough timescale, whether it's this war or the next or the one after that we humans are going to pull the nuclear trigger. The question is "for what reason?" This seems as good a reason as you can have. Much better than an accident or miscalculation.

For context, since most clips I've found online start just after JD's comment you're alluding to here-

JD's statement about "diplomacy" which precedes Zelensky's comments about how Russia diplomacy plays out starts here: https://youtu.be/CIEZEvx1HfU?si=IdGw2g74643yEQrE&t=45

I suppose its arguable that it wasn't the most diplomatic thing to say in the moment. But I can't fault the guy for pointing out the undiplomatic behavior while his country is being squeezed by Russia and US (wrt mineral rights). How frustrating it must be to hear "have you tried diplomacy?" in the context of an invading force.

Basic principles that change with the time aren't basic principles at all. Is the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech irrelevant now because we aren't communicating via handwritten letters and bulletin boards anymore?
Is this serious?. I think you got things mixed up a bit here I think you meant to say the opposite.

The better comparison would be, would I rather have me, my kids and everyone I love die in a ball of fire or disease/hunger as society crumbles around us or risk the end of democracy and inviting authoritarianism?. I personally would always risk dictatorship, you can fight against dictators but not against death.

The video in reference you've provided does not show video evidence of your claims.

I do agree the west, politics, and complex history between nations are obviously at play as to how the war came about, but that does not negate the atrocities committed by Russia.
If it turns out that CISA analysts were truly told verbally to no longer focus or report on Russian threats, and if you assume this was done under Trump's direction or to align with his intent, would would your thoughts be?

I'm not (yet) asserting that either of those two conditions are or aren't true, I'm just curious what your thoughts would be IF they were.
Yeah, and how does the title “Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting” match with Zelensky’s slight smile and thumbs-up at the very end? Some people probably don’t notice this because, instead of using reason, they let their emotions drive them.
OT.

Half of American voters voted for this, which is far less than half of Americans. I’m almost as disappointed in the people who didn’t vote as I am in the people who voted for this.
That is not the vibe that I'm feeling over here at all.

The USA aligning with Russia was a major wake up call here, and it is leading to solidarity the likes of which I've never seen.

For example:

https://old.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1irgt3n/german_chan...
One thing to note is that you are looking at this as a government cost, whereas it’s seen as a massive mechanism of hard and soft power, with immense economic and political benefits for the US, including being able to do whatever it wants wherever it wants. A significant amount of the wealth of the US depends on that soft/hard power dynamic. Break one, break the whole.
But I agree with you. The US spends too much on military and intelligence budgets and not enough to and for its citizens. And this has led to the misery of so many Americans. The land of the plenty has not much to give to the ones that need it most.

And on the other hand, the immense asymmetry of (non-nuclear) military power between the US and the rest of the world should ring alarm bells across every nation right now. Especially so in the EU, UK and Canada.

Why is this massive military budget and complex supported by sacrificing public services, healthcare, education, and social services, and through higher taxation of the relatively poorest? And why is it not supported through taxation of corporations and the richest of the super-rich?

And for me, the most important reason for why I found today so upsetting:

What is true dishonour if not to betray a friend in need?

Everything must be voluntary and well-informed, except in self-defence.

You can't force people, you can't trick people.

I may be wrong, but I think enough voters were deceived by Donald that the election was no longer well-informed.

That's how he got into power.

To the extent that's true, USA no longer had genuine elections.
I think the Indians started this trend...Infosys, L&T etc.
As an American I will have a hard time forgiving anyone that voted for Trump. He telegraphed his sick obsession with Putin and still was voted in. I am sorry.

I hope we still have a country 4 years from now. He is a saboteur as is Musk and both should be considered foreign agents IMO. Yet they are running the country. Makes me want to vomit.
This was the investment of the century for the USA. Send old garbage and help with intelligence to weaken a historical enemy, revive NATO, and acquire knowledge on the frontier of warfare.
The joke is on the USA, sadly.

I totally agree, though whatever Jesse Schell writes is great (he was my advisor!)

I'd say pick ONE SINGLE MECHANIC and MAKE IT FUN. That's it.

You can even just duplicate a mechanic that already exists: Tetris, Breakout, Balatro, Pachinko, whatever. Make it the best version you can make of that version, until it gets so perfect you're bored of it. At that point you bet you'd just "wish it had this one tweak".

Your goal is to get to that point — where you've perfected making the boring thing — that you're both excited and confident in adding that one extra tweak.

It's a really simple, technically easy process. But it's to so boring and it takes a lot of time, that's why it's hard and most people stop.
I use both, while Obsidian is good and has lot in common but for some reason org-mode still feels more useful and permanent. If it something important for me personally I most likely will put it in 'org' but if I just need write something of temporary nature like documentation peace for work I might prefer Obsidian for that. Also org-mode TODOs/agenda stuff very helpful for triage of tasks and prioritization (I think it's just habit that has some 'migration' cost so I not really considering it as big benefit over other tools)
What influence? The US and EU isn't going to engage with Russia directly in battle. There's no influence to be peddled. Unless the EU and US have something Russian wants, no influence can be peddled.

The truth is, Europeans know that if Ukraine falls nothing will happen to Europeans. There is no existential threat. There has been no national mobilization of industry to support Ukraine's war efforts.

The entire western world over the last 3 years has left Ukraine with a 10-1 artillery disadvantage. It's just not a serious concern for people.

Washington or NYC gets hit. OK. We'll live.

Clearly, you're unfamiliar with the prosecution of a nuclear conflict.

I wouldn't count on NYC being the only place hit. In fact, I wouldn't count on any of our port cities and even any mainland military infrastructure surviving the initial strike. Additionally, energy infrastructure would be severely crippled. None of that even counts the disruption to electronics and communication wrought by the EMP blasts. And no, none of it's coming back. I can assure any Russian readers that the same would happen to you in a nuclear exchange with us. The initial strikes would be unfortunate for europe, as I think they would likely fare the worst.

But as bad off as we'd all be, the worst would be yet to come. The secondary strikes are where the knockout blows would be dealt.

Nuclear war, (any war really), is raw and nasty. Don't expect "limited" strikes. By your own admission, we would send a massive retaliatory strike to Russia. It defies logic for them to send a limited strike our way. That's not how nuclear war works.
Any nation alone in a world of nations with strong alliances is weak.
The modern conception of the First Amendment is pretty recent. It didn’t even apply to state governments until the 1920s.

Chamberlain had seen many young people die needleasly in the nationalist ravages of the First World War and was trying everything to stop that from happening again, while rearming.
