So you think this greater good is going to happen in less than 2 years?

Inducing a recession to change the world order back to mercantilism isn’t going to be popular in practice. Drunks in a pub might think it sounds great over their back of the napkin math - but that’s just talk. When the rubber meets the road and the Republican party fails here, which it will, what happens? They either have a perfectly executed plan and everything is miraculously wonderful or they lose the midterms and that’s it. So either the plan is to suppress or prevent elections or just transfer wealth and lose while the world order gets overturned.
Where do you see them being interrupted?
There's an Amazon-backed close-to-$100M funded established company in India called ToneTag which has its use case for sound data transfer for retail payments/etc. I still don't understand how they work from a consumer-use standpoint, but I find it fascinating.
If the US is going to tariff heavily Canada for made up reasons [1], Canada should negotiate a more free trade agreement with China. Not completely open, but significantly more open than it is now - and encourage bilateral exchanges to make up for the surplus we will have because of the US tariffs. And then instead of importing Teslas from the US we should be importing BYD and Greelys from China.

Staying dependent upon the US and having prohibitive tariffs on China while we are being pummelled by the US is not smart. We should be turning away from the US in response to this behaviour.

extreme free speech with ZERO consequences is not such a value

my initial comment was clear, but some USAians will try to add that free speech is more important then any of our values, we can disagree on that
and I will keep my opinion that kissing up to fascists is a good value to have, having them in leadership role is a disaster but USA will learn it the hard way.

I have a Macbook Pro 14 M3, I do hobby photography and you can get great laptop with excellent color accuracy with better screen than Macbook Pro out of the box, from Asus or Lenovo. There are Yoga Pro 9i, yoga aura Edition and even newer Ideapad pro has OLED options ranging from 2.3k to 4k resolution 1000 nits peak bright, depending on config, factory calibrated which is quite close.

I got one from Lenovo with OLED, came pre-calibrated, running X-Rite calibration gave minimal gains.
> what happened on Bouvet Island? will we ever know?

For those unaware:

> The Vela incident was an unidentified double flash of light detected by an American Vela Hotel satellite on 22 September 1979 near the South African territory of Prince Edward Islands in the Indian Ocean, roughly midway between Africa and Antarctica. Today, most independent researchers believe that the flash was caused by a nuclear explosion[1][2][3]—an undeclared joint nuclear test carried out by South Africa and Israel.[4][5]

> The cause of the flash remains officially unknown, and some information about the event remains classified by the US government.[5] While it has been suggested that the signal could have been caused by a meteoroid hitting the satellite, the previous 41 double flashes detected by the Vela satellites were caused by nuclear weapons tests.[6][7][8]

I can understand that historical position. If someone knocked on my door and told me "hey, I'm gonna take 2/3 of your house or all of it, what do you prefer?" I probably wouldn't inclined to answer either.

Of course none of the present-day Israelis are responsible for that. They are responsible for retreating into a sanitized, mythological narrative about the founding of their state, however.

> Historically, Palestinians rejected all compromise attempts to end the conflict and get their state. that's the only reason why there's no palestinian country.

Since then, Palestinians have already twice declared their acceptance of a two-state solution in the 1976 borders and declared a state in those borders. It does not explain why Israel and the US kept blocking a state even within those borders. (Meanwhile you can read in Likud's founding charter that the party always fundamentally rejected any kind of Palestinian state as their official policy - a policy that Israel now enacts increasingly openly)
I bought a 13 Pro Max on launch day and I am still using it today. I have never kept a phone this long in my life. The cameras and performance are still fantastic. The only thing that would be nice is USB-C and USB 3.0 transfer speeds. But that is not enough for me to upgrade.
Finland has a population similar to the US metro I live in. The rates were about the same a few years ago, 4,000 people, it would be interesting to apply similar methods here. The city and famous people bought real estate in a former open air drug market and housed people there with great results over a decade or so.
The West Bank population is the perfect development platform for this tech. They can't complain or revolt - they're already under occupation! Who else but Israel has such a resource at their disposal?

And unlike other nations that might build these tools for internal use only, it's basically certain that this tech will be sold to e.g. the US.

See: NSO Group, Cellebrite, Paragon, Oosto/Anyvision, Corsight. They've all had or have contracts with US domestic agencies that needed surveillance tech.

If ACo can sell me widget cheaper than BCo because they dump the polluting manufacturing waste in a local river it's perfectly rational to decide not to deal with them. The intent is to make them change their behavior by impacting their business. Should we ignore the effects of our purchases just because we can get something cheaper or better?

Why would LLM training allow arabic native speakers to "better understand Arabic"?

This isn't a tool to better understand arabic in some innocent sense, it's a compensation for israelis refusing to learn arabic and having trouble gathering intelligence from linguistic sources. When you're actively involved in the genocide of a people you'll also have problems finding informants among them, it's much easier under a less intense apartheid regime.

I don't like depending on a proprietary commercial product to facilitate my personal relationships.

The UK also has the same policy. There are very very few people that are completely unhoused, instead they beg on the streets and then go back to a flat/shelter. The ones that are completely unhoused are either their by "choice" or are so chaotic they have ran out of options. In UK cities you will see a lot of people on the streets during the day but not at night.

However, the number of people begging on the streets is still rising sharply, so I don't think it is the silver bullet everyone thinks it is.

NB: some people are there by "choice" because some shelters are so chaotic it is better to be out on the streets. Some have lived outside for so long that they do not like living inside. I'm not saying that the situation couldn't be improved, but the core issue is addiction IMO to get rid of 'visible' "homelessness".

There is also a huge problem that so many people are living in "temporary" accommodation for years waiting for social housing.

The key point I'd say is the problem with homelessness is addiction treatment (and the lack of it). You can give these people houses but without treatment they will still be begging on the street. One alternative would be to prescribe heroin which I think could work, but crack/meth is different - very hard to keep people on any sort of maintenance dose of those drugs and most of the "chaotic people" are addicted to an opiate and a stimulant.

I've started doing volunteer work in this space for the past few years and it really has opened my eyes to the real problems with it. Housing is a prerequisite to the solution but it is not a solution itself, unfortunately. I didn't realise this before volunteering.

We can't avoid politics in any sphere of life, that's what makes it so important.

And there you go, it doesn't matter what we know because the US government is going over our heads and taking isolationist measures. Even when we're "better than that" the reality is that our lives are shaped by the world around us as much as by our own initiatives.

> let's have interoperability.

Should be mandatory. Things like facebook took off because of network effects not because of the quality of the platform. Being able to migrate all your contacts/ chat/ tweets/ etc somewhere else seemlessly should be enforced by the gov to allow for actual competition. else you end up with first player advantage and network effects being unsurmountable and creating de facto monopolies with 0 benefit for the customer, in an environment that has low set up costs and you should see fierce competition.
I think that will not work if you use the OpenAI compatible API endpoint.
If you care for a broader view, you can step outside the US media bubble, as I (being of course based on Altair IV) do frequently.

The US media supportive of the present administration are a distinct anomaly globally.

There were numerous signs of pro-Russian sentiments in the first term, as well as a well-documented set in the Mueller report (see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller_report#Conspiracy_or_c...> for an overview), misrepresentations and denials notwithstanding. Your list is grossly deficient and spurious.
Yesterday (March 5, 2025) there was a headline in the top Finnish newspaper:
Shopping malls in Helsinki become a hive of homelessness
<https://www.hs.fi/helsinki/art-2000011068519.html>

When it gets cold, the homeless congregate in the warm interiors of malls. The guards on duty won’t let them sleep there, but they prefer it over being out in the cold.
> These acts that teardown the information that the US makes available, that help us shape our decision making & view of the world, are deeply horrifically un-democratic.

If it's similar to the UK they will get the money for the rent paid to them from the govt, but they have to pay it to the "landlord". In the UK some people can be eligible for direct rent payments to landlords.

No, since the setting is not specifying the initial rate, it might as well increase or staying stable at 20%.

But there are other factors, like, is the amount of outcomes done also changing, thus affecting the absolute number of errors?

Also, does the side effect of disengage the person in most cases means it has side effects like not paying the same attention to what would stand out as a big issue that needs more attention and consideration than business as usual?

And so on

The europeans who criticized the U.S. for playing world police to enforce borders in the middle east and asia now support the U.S. playing world police to enforce borders in europe. That’s self-interested hypocrisy, a very understandable form of hypocrisy.

I’m talking about Americans flip-flipping. From America’s point of view, there is no difference between Ukraine, Kuwait, Syria, Korea, or Vietnam. I think a decade ago, most people would be agreeing with me that we don’t need to be getting involved in regional conflicts in those places. Heck, overthrowing Saddam was arguably more materially in America’s interest than defending Ukraine, because America is highly affected by oil prices.

You are stating that Social Security isn’t sustainable, when in fact its sustainability depends in its entirety on demographic trends, workforce behaviors, and market conditions that cannot be accurately predicted.

The imminent collapse of Social Security has been just ahead of us for roughly as long as fusion energy and flying cars have been… while I agree it’s unstable, it’s been sustainable thus far and the imminent tipping point keeps being slightly further off than predicted by everyone with an opinion.
Basically most of the cases end up so that municipal entities are those providing social housing. And on other side they are also last resort welfare. Generally welfare payments for housing and cost of living is paid directly to accounts of those receiving benefits, but in small number of cases who can not manage their own money it is paid directly from welfare to municipal(more rarely private was these people have really screwed up credit) social housing.

Why is it always attributed to politics and bureaucracy when there's a much more obvious point on why European products take a long while to gain market share even inside the continent: the EU is made of 27 independent countries with their own culture, and language.

A consumer product created in the Netherlands needs to be adapted to be marketed across 27 different countries, sales teams need to know how to approach each of them, manuals, UI, etc. need to be translated into the customers' languages, so on and so forth.

Is there bureaucracy? Of course, some of it is to uphold values, some might be unnecessary but it's not the main obstacle faced by European companies to grow themselves into the whole of the EU.

Imagine for a moment that each US State had its own centuries-old way of living, its own language, and history separated from the US as a nation, there would be much more friction for products to spread around the whole country, there would be much more localised versions of the same market niche, exactly what happens in Europe.

A federalisation of Europe is a slow process, it will take generations to integrate all these different cultures, streamline production pipelines to allow products to be released across many different member-states at once, etc. Ironically the US becoming more insular and adversarial might be a catalyst for European companies to do so, there will be quite a few market gaps opening up in the wake of US's influence retraction.
There's often a cross-over between tech and politics, though. As more and more important tech news (DOGE in server rooms, the government crypto scams, even this list of European tech alternatives etc.) gets flagged here then people like myself will give up on the site and go elsewhere.
