It doesnt create jobs in US. It is another bulk order of factory line-items for those already ingratiated with a comfy MIC contract. No one benefits except the neo-cons and the ones already with their feet up.

Europe's bill may create jobs in Europe, if it was genuine.

>billions in humanitarian support spend in Europe are mostly just housing refugees from Ukraine in Europe thus flows to landlords and supermarkets in Europe.

I am sure printing money to then distribute to those with real estate property to house migrants is doing well for your housing/immigrant crises.

>This war in Ukraine is costing us pennies for each dollar

Approximately 46 pennies on every dollar that exists has been printed or misspent in the last 5 years.

Now that the state-level propaganda machine is starting to wear down, the world is realizing that America wants America First.
I think any civil war would have a split within the military, because in your premise that they're using tanks and aircraft, some people are not going to want to bomb the place where their mother or child lives, not to mention the supply chain of all that fancy stuff relies on a somewhat functioning domestic society to make and deliver much of the underlying goodies and support.
Agreed. Shouldn’t employees behave/feel the same way?
What are they voting for if not policy views, a particular candidate, or a particular party?
Your view of "biggest is winner" is totally wrong. There is nothing wrong in supporting those small countries, they won't require you to move all your army to defend them. In fact, just by being allies keeps the peace, at a very low cost for both parts.

You have a very small frame. If you let Russia, for example, take all those small countries for free, suddenly you have a bigger enemy. Not saying that they would defeat the US, but they can make worse problems. Because those little countries you despise are historically peaceful, but Russia not so much. Because Russia leaders are unreliable, for example: https://www.newsweek.com/what-putin-has-said-about-russia-ta.... By keeping Russia at bay, the USA keeps the hegemony more easily and for less money.

Please, stop thinking that USA is "bankrolling" no one. USA spending on defense of those countries is basically zero. It's just a few military bases with a few dozens of people (20 in Bulgaria, 20 in Estonia, 20 in Finland, 20 in Latvia, 20 in Lithuania, 200 in Poland and 130 in Romania, the countries you named), and have nukes at home that they were going to have anyway. By contrast, those countries deployed to Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom, answering the USA call: Bulgaria 600, Estonia 250, Lithuania 270, Poland 2500 and Romania 1800. It was a bargain for the USA.

> Goodbye military industrial complex? Hallelujah!

I never said it was a bad thing per se. I only say that being an unreliable supplier of military goods makes you an undesirable business partner. A large share of the GDP of the US depends on military exports, so a large part of the population would have to find another job. Again: this is not bad per se. But, are you sure you (the USA) want this? How many Trump supporters and isolationists don't even suspect how much of the GDP is based on military exports?

Another unintended consequence might be China becoming a more reliable military supplier than the US, thus empowering their military industry. Are the USA interested in that happening?

Another consequence might be Europe becoming a significant player in the military industry, effectively moving jobs and GDP from USA to Europe.

> It's more absurd thinking

It was not about GDP, stop thinking in pure economical terms if you want to talk geopolitics. It was about influence. China has always been a wild card. But the USSR had a lot of influence over half Europe, half Hispan-America and half Africa. It's not about economy: put and support a dictatorship in a country like Cuba or North Korea, and it doesn't matter how uber poor they are. You now have two pains in the ass, one of them with nukes and ICBMs, the other was once very close to be a nuke base pointing to the USA.

For years, for decades, it was the USA who pressed the NATO expansion. It's imperialistic people like Putin the one who despises it. Again, you can be isolationist like Switzerland is in many senses, but then don't complain when others don't buy your shit, or develop nukes, or make friends with your enemies, or make alliances among themselves (like https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250226-trump-says-eu-fo...).
"The kebab and the French train station": another view
The only path to believing this is to accept Trump communications exclusively.

The entire Trump ecosystem is now prohibited from saying that Russia invaded Ukraine. Reality plays no role in any of these narratives.

Trump may or may not be a literal Russian agent. But his actions are indistinguishable from one. I'm sorry you're tired of hearing it, I'm equally tired of seeing it.
Sorry, did you want the Politburo to convene in the graveyard to deliver an official statement? Maybe you're waiting for a really trustworthy Russian ideologue like Putin to examine the KGB records on your behalf?

The story is corroborated by Yuri Shvets and Sergei Zhyrnov. You don't have to listen if the accusation offends you, but the pieces of the puzzle sure point towards kompromat more than glasnost.

> check if text has mismatched parens

I always try to give everyone I’ve interviewed the benefit of the doubt. You never know what’s going on in their lives, and even if they fail a trivial question it doesn’t mean they are faking the ability to code.

I joined Facebook back in 2018. Didn’t study at all for the interview and passed somehow. Then I probably conducted 200-300 interviews in my time there, so I became quite familiar with the questions. My performance ratings were all exceeds or greatly exceeds. I voluntarily left on my own after four years to join a unicorn startup. I didn’t prep for that interview either but passed it too. Well, the startup failed and many people went back to Meta. So I actually prepared quite a bit this time and scheduled a mock interview with them. The mock interviewer said I did great and not to change a thing. When it came time for the real screening interview... I failed the matching parentheses question.

I generally try not to make excuses. Almost every interview I’ve failed has clearly been my own fault. But in this particular one the interviewer kept interrupting me every two seconds and I absolutely could not think. I had done matching parentheses many times before in practice, but the constant interrupting rattled me to the point where I totally lost focus and bombed it. Not a great experience.

So yeah, I’d just recommend giving people the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has difficult moments occasionally, but it doesn’t mean they’re stupid or can’t code.
How did they react to the first term of Trumponomics, with empty store shelves and massive inflation? There is always a scapegoat.
It's crazy how there's a bunch of sockuppets in here replying to each other.
One word: WordPress.
Still don’t get it. “Cryptocurrency” is a technology, not a product. Everything you said could be applied to “the internet” or “stocks” in the abstract: there is plenty of fraud and abuse using both.

But in this specific case, where the currency is tied to voting for how an org will spend its resources, it doesn’t feel much different from shareholders directing corporate operations, with those who’ve invested more having more say.

“Crypto has an ick” is lazy, reductive thinking. Yes, there have been plenty of scams. But deriding a project because it uses tech that has also been used to totally different people for wrongdoing seems to fall i to the proudly ignorant category.

Tell me what’s wrong with this specific use case for this specific project and I’m all ears. Just rolling hour eyes and saying “oh, it uses the internet, sigh” adds nothing and reflects poorly on the poster.

That's my experience as well. Claude Code/Cline — these tools are just a way to burn money. With Aider, my spending is minimal and I get exactly what I need.
I hate to be the guy, but I find myself having to point this out to all of my doom-minded American friends. Yes, Trump is a criminal idiot, but one positive, probably unintended effect is that the world becomes more, in the words of Taleb, anti-fragile. As an American I am thrilled that Europe is becoming more united, more pragmatic, and more self-reliant. Our relationship is not over, it is just changing, and Europe is experiencing a long-needed renaissance.

Of course Europe always had some ability to defend itself, but I think it's clear that some of that ability was outsourced to the US(with reciprocal benefits for the US, but still). Yes, this introduces some redundancy into the Western sphere, but that's a good thing.
Can you substantiate this?

The only reference I can find before Trump is the lil Wayne song that came out in 2014:

So I'm wondering what evidence you've come across that this phrase came from the left.
> you do actually want that (soft) pushback some of the time. Most modern LLMs will gleefully come up with a complete plan for how we're gonna get the square peg in the round hole.

I once accidentally asked a local DeepSeek distilled model to do the wrong thing by accidentally copy pasting the wrong variable name.

It told me how to do it, and then asked me if I was sure.

My local DeepSeek R1 model (deepseek-r1:7b) saw me trying to do something stuupid
(I was working with the wrong variable).
It told me how to do what I asked and then asked:

> _Is this modification part of a larger change you're making to the code? I'd like to make sure we're not modifying something important that might have side effects._

Looking at its though process:

> _The user wants to modify this string by replacing "-input" with "-kb". But looking at the ARN structure, I recall that AWS S3 ARNs are usually in the form arn<:aws:1151472526310103070>s3:::bucket_name RegionalPart path. The part after the bucket name is typically s3:// followed by the object key._
> _Wait, maybe the user has a specific reason to make this change. Perhaps they're formatting or structuring something for a different purpose. They might not realize that directly modifying ARNs can cause issues elsewhere if not done correctly._
Revocation and renewal are much different things, and if the renewal was mechanical but denied on speech grounds, I do think they would have a case.

> Trump himself hinted at as much during his speech. “The Senate just passed the Take It Down Act,” he said. “Once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law. And I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.”
I find layoffs very context sensitive.

Atleast 2 of the fast growing companies I have been a part of have had serious layoffs that were very successful in cutting dead weight that had accumulated because of fast and loose hiring and poor middle management. So it can be done well.

By and large though they are a sign to jump from the soon to be sinking ship... so it's very important to know what kind it is and act accordingly.
> It's good to have choices, but it's become difficult to keep up with such a fragmented ecosystem.

In theory, you could start from any thought. However you may think the world works or is heading toward, you re-evaluate it every once in a while and change it if it isn't looking true. You will eventually get to a more nuanced, hopefully more well informed, view.
Where do you get multiple weeks? From what I can find, harman and norharman both have elimination half-lives shorter than half an hour.

If it was weeks, they would accumulate to very toxic levels in anyone who smokes or has a few cups of coffee a day.

Yes because that’s what they agreed to in advance of the meeting

False. No such agreement existed.

https://www.barrons.com/news/ukraine-has-agreed-on-terms-of-...

Zelenski indicated that he was willing to sign a deal if there are security guarantees. He was then presented a "deal" with no such guarantees in it. Your statements are simply false.

Vague platitudes are not a security guarantee.
“Scrutiny of another” who’s a peer or even a client is super different from an interview.

The latter has more in common with an open mic night, the prospect of which the vast majority of people are terrified and would break down if they attempted it.
Dollar for dollar is the f35 or a drone superior?
Sanders means well in the things he does, but he's unfortunately very very .. how do I put this, stupid in his ideas.

Even his own party never votes for his stuff because his ideas are always terrible. They are always emotional, but he never thinks them through. I don't think he's able to think them through.

I'll give you an example from a different person: There's someone on Twitter who wants a 0.1% tax on stock transactions, and then he calculates that this little change will fund everything we could possibly want. He utterly ignores that if you put this tax people will change their behavior! There will be fewer transactions, and this tax will fund nothing at all.

Sanders is the same way: He makes an idea, and completely ignores how people will respond to it.

Sanders has a 0% chance of winning.

> News organizations that say "our shareholders get to dictate what we cover!" are not news organizations, they are propaganda outfits. This effort is close enough to a news organization that I think the comparison holds.

Wait, so you think the shareholders of The Information do not and should not have a say in the areas of focus? If the writers decided to focus on drag racing, that would be ok and allowed?
> Even the "simple" task of summarizing news had so many catastrophic failures that Apple had to pull it from the market.

Unsurprisingly this human-made summary of Apple’s missteps is grossly incorrect as well. There were no catastrophic failures and the feature being poorly implemented does not warrant the hyperbole.
We're uniquely suited to not support the F-35. Not unless you swap out the engine for a Safran one, change the avionics for Dassault's, rip out the rest of the electronics for the Thalès stuff and replace the ordnance with MBDA's.

We'd keep the frame, but Serge Dassault and Charles de Gaulle would probably smite any French mechanic coming within 20 feet of a F-35 to do anything but dismantle one for its secrets.
That's why I specified "real power". Mishustin doesn't have it.
Like Putin did.
During Trump's first term in office I developed a hobby wherein I would get hardcore conservatives to unequivocally support various talking points from the Communist Manifesto, normally in response to them bitching about "leftists". This takes a lot less effort than you might think.

> Humans are not bees. We don't have a queen, we don't have a hive mind. This group think, that Americans should all be judged as a whole, [...] is the very definition of bigotry and prejudice.

I don't agree with this. The behavior of a hive is distinctly different from the behavior of a bee. The way a hive behaves is bigger than the sum of the actions of the bees. The US as a country also has this same emergent intelligence to it.

> [...] an indistinguishable mass, is the very definition of bigotry and prejudice.

You'll notice I said hate Americans, and not hate Sally, or Bobby, or Jane. I'm not targeting nor blaming individuals, I agree with you, that is wrong for me to assign someone into a group they don't belong in. But is it wrong to hate the behavior and intent of said grouping? Is it wrong to blame people who willingly self-select to associate with said group?

Quoting from above

> it's wrong to be anti-Russian because of the actions of Putin

Is it? If I'm mad at Russia, so I refuse to interact with any russian company. That's being anti-russian, I'd assume? Is that wrong?

What if I don't like the family next door because they lived in Russia before the moved to the US. That would be wrong; until I point out they're still proudly Russian, and they support their former country. Then is it wrong to dislike them in that case? That's still anti-russian, no?
> I am really amazed there are still almost half of the people able to twist reality to defend what is a direct attack against their own personal interests (they have proven already that other's interests do not matter for them). This sounds like self-flagellation seen from the outside.

They aren't thinking, really. If you look at the online comments from people who support these actions, you'll notice these characteristics: they are usually listing the same talking points, using the exact same collection of key words or "facts" (even in different languages, across different cultures) often strung together like chants, have a conspiratorial notion of a hidden puppeteer directing events or people they disapprove of, conversely they often have a messianic belief in their chosen prophet, and they are usually inexplicably very angry.

You will also notice that the vast majority of them very rapidly, and across cultural boundaries, start parroting the latest talking points. Talking points that didn't exist days before and weren't on anyone's minds.

It's a form of mass hysteria.
Sure, that's true now (for a lot of people). But isn't the goal of most of these platforms to onboard you, then trap you there?
If you are wondering why this matters: It's not for a commercial product, it's to help understand why some materials superconduct.

Which other major countries have happier publics? The UK public seems at least as unhappy as the USA. UK citizens certainly aren't happy with low economic growth (everywhere outside London), high immigration, tiny houses, and decaying healthcare. Similar issues in Germany, etc.
Yes, two of my siblings are European citizens. It's staggering how much richer US feels. Many Europeans are fed daily propaganda and thus are in denial/ideological hatred. I implore Europeans especially the ones in technology to skip over anti-capitalist and anti-American propaganda widespread in Europe (e.g. you'll hear shootings every day; you'll be BK and die on the street if you get cancer) and seriously explore opportunities in the US. They can be multiple times wealthier, not just some measly percentages.
I'm the same way; every time I read about body doubling, it feels like it's written by an alien who's trying to trick me into something.
Yeah, pretty much in line with what I was seeing. Just depends on where the lines are drawn for downstate/southern.

Awesome, thanks for sharing that.
We have an authoritarian nation conducting a literal unprovoked invasion of a liberal democratic country, this entire thread is objecting to the United States STOPPING providing materiel to said country . . . and yet people still think defense contractors are the "bad guys."

It's morbidly fascinating, really. If there's anyone who could be accused of profiting from blood money in this instance, it's companies like Sukhoi and Kalashnikov Concern.

Because it's the only mass-produced (and thus relatively cheap) 5th Gen fighter that gives you a lot of advantages over 4th Gen and it will likely take at least a decade before mass-produced EUropean alternatives are available.

But yeah, actual experts with access to hardware should validate if there is a kill switch and if replacement parts / weapons could be reverse engineered before buying any more.
I solve theoretical engineering problems that would be faced during a new American civil war or revolution. I imagine I am tasked with supplying novel means and kit for asymmetric warfare against the US military. I roleplay in my head and review the outcome of skirmishes by Wagner and in Ukraine. I go over what I know of the Winter war. I think about supply lines. I think about the mindset of the opposition in such a scenario. I compose scenarios that would drive fear into their foot soldiers. Then I take my dog for a long walk and wait.
"Fuck Your Feelings" was strongly and rapidly adopted as a slogan by Trump campaigners in 2019. Prior to that it wasn't strongly used in a political context, instead used nonpartisanly as disparagement of ones opinions in general. It didn't come "from the left".
If you use vanilla JS modules you can get away with no bundlers at all which greatly simplifies web projects. import statements "just work" in browsers, and caching of shared modules means you don't need fancy things like chunking. Also no need for map files and such, just debug directly in browser.

Vanilla TS also works well if you use a server side translator like esbuild to strip out the types before serving the files in a middleware (especially if you are using a golang backend, esbuild is trivial to integrate as a middleware)
