> hat's how you get EU and USAID funding to standup to a president outside of the WEF overton window, certainly.

Is this some US-based fiction among maga fanatics to pat on their wobbly backs?

Those people protest for they want freedom and self-determination in their lives, something even maga supporter with lowest IQ in the crowd should comprehend - the need for personal freedom is natural to all humans, yes even those without US passports. Something all dictators in all forms are very keen to take away as we are seeing everywhere including US.

I saw one in the US a few weeks ago that had a Mexican license plate. Pretty interesting because I'm aware of the brand but had not seen one in person.

Presumably because their home country treats them even worse? At least that's the point of the refugee program.
Are you suggesting that Swiss border patrol would have been more forgiving if I were illegally entering their country?
I find this fascinating; I do a lot of reading and writing (leisure work) outside my own specialization; Some I believe are possibly publishable, but I am reluctant so far to attempt to publish them. Is zenodo a good place for this in your opinion?
If your hobby project consumes libraries which are not already locally available on your machine, this same restriction would also apply when using gcc/make/vim. (e.g. say you want to use zlib, you'll need the zlib-devel package)

If the packages are already available locally, cargo works offline.

I am a dual-nation Canadian, with the other nationality held in much lower regard by the USA administration, meaning American conduct toward much of the world is not news to me.

I believe a lot of resentment Canadians currently feel towards Americans boils down to being treated the way they treat any other undesirable country.
That’s something that I’m puzzled about. If we take a look at both PC and Mac Geekbench results which use the exact same Intel CPU as a baseline, Macs wipe the floor with any Intel or AMD professor. Am I reading it wrong or?

The same thing happened with the original USB. Windows machines, even laptops, shipped with serial and even parallel ports for years after the first iMacs went all in on it. That gave the market for USB devices an enormous boost.

Without that, USB might have died.
+1 for Brother.
After being an HP family for decades, they pretty much forced our hand with recent enschittification of their hardware and service.
Discovered and purchased various Brother printers and MFCs for myself and 2 other extended family members. All 3 devices print flawlessly, have a simple UI, can use 3rd party toners (hello!), and you aren't forced to swap out a toner just because the "Change Toner" light turns on. (ie you can remove the toner, shake, replace, and keep printing until it's actually all used up, according to you!)
Not to mention, the wired and wireless functions work flawlessly.
I'll end with this: these are the first printers where everyone in my family can print from whatever device they're using: Windows, Linux, and Android. Honestly, I didn't even know we were at "this level" when it came to home printing.
> you can't actually go from 0 to nuclear sovereignty in 6 months, and you definitely can't hide that you're doing it for long

No, but you can go from 0 to "possibly nuclear everyone yell about it," and stay there until you're actually nuclear.

Nobody will do anything about possibly nuclear. And nobody will do anything once you're nuclear. This was the critical hole in non-proliferation, and for a while it worked, because everyone pretended nuclear sovereignty wasn't a thing, but now that it is there is--and should be--a race to who are the regional powers, and who are subsurvient to them. The Netherlands have a history of being conquered and being rich. It makes sense for them to be a nuclear sovereign.

The only real pain point for me is the slow one-second animation for switching workspaces. It also adds a second of delay to entering and leaving fullscreen, making the fastest computers feel sluggish. And not even accessibility settings can get rid of it. Animations are great for visual feedback but when they stand in your way it gets old fast.

Meanwhile the "eject drive" button in Finder has no animation or other immediate feedback at all when hovering or clicking.

> Dragging a file download onto the Applications folder to install software

I think that's quite intuitive. My problem with it is that seemingly app developers have to implement this correctly, but some don't and so the program just can't be installed that way.
For example with openSCAD you just get an empty window without Applications folder.
Not just less cards; by making their cards have less ram, they are helping prop up cloud-based inference, which in turn generates revenue for their most expensive line. It is the reason you used to be able to get 12GB ram on a 3060, and that now you have to move up 3 increasingly expensive models to get the same, restricted only by drivers and not capability. They made it clear that this was all intentional because they didn’t want consumer hardware in data centers as it costs profits.
To be fair, they're okay with what they got so long as they're not the ones getting it.

Hamas is a hardline theocratic political party based on a very conservative interpretation of a religion. That means they're anti-free speech/press/religion/assembly, anti-LGBTQ rights, anti-free enterprise, anti-secular jurisprudence, and anti-representative government. Neither of the Palestinian Territories have had meaningful elections in over a decade. They're utterly unwilling to discuss any sort of deviation from their foreign policy agenda in good faith.

And yet, that's who many people on the political left-of-center see as the "freedom fighters" of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Is Israel blameless? Absolutely not. They've committed numerous war crimes and atrocities since October 7th. On the other hand, they have shown with Jordan and Egypt that if their neighbors agree to leave them alone, they'll do the same in turn.

Fatah isn't that much better.

Honestly it's a different flavor of the same kind of authoritarianism that many on the right in the US dream of. And with Trump, they're much closer to implementing this, albeit with a different religion. If the idea behind the 2024 election in the US was to prevent more people from coming under authoritarian rule on a global scale, the left in the US failed miserably. And I say that as someone on the political left.
"It’s even worse in other countries."

It's not. I take you are comparing to western countries. If you have a valid visa and behave even remotely normal to the border agents you will have no issues. Only in the USA some border agents have the attitude of "I'm gonna get you" or making you feel unwelcome for no reason. Hell, even in "authoritarian" countries like UAE or Quatar I never experience anything but pleasant interactions on the border.

The alternative pushed by the tech elite would seem to be that delivery goes to drones and the delivery jobs are gone completely.

I'm sorry, but the article seems to obscure a key fact, which is that she travelled to the US AFTER her initial visa was revoked.

It seems dumb to travel to a country that has explicitly revoked your visa without being granted a new one!

Nobody stopped her from getting on a plane because nobody checks if Canadians have a visa or not since they don't need one for short visits or stays. In this case her visa was revoked, so she was probably flagged in the system as temporarily not allowed in.

This is speculation, but maybe somebody here can weigh on the technicalities of the situation.

This is not to excuse the inhumane treatment, which if true is disgusting. Dealing with the CBP is always negative, even as a citizen (when returning from abroad).

Edit:

This really stretches credulity:

> I was taken to the nurse’s office for a medical check. She asked what had happened to me. She had never seen a Canadian there before. When I told her my story, she grabbed my hand and said: “Do you believe in God?”

Edit2 (more dumb):

> There were around 140 of us in our unit. Many women had lived and worked in the US legally for years but had overstayed their visas – often after reapplying and being denied. They had all been detained without warning

>Another woman from Canada had been living in the US with her husband who was detained after a traffic stop. She admitted she had overstayed her visa and accepted that she would be deported. But she had been stuck in the system for almost six weeks because she hadn’t had her passport. Who runs casual errands with their passport?

Really? Not having your passport on you is the big mistake here?

Edit 3 (Even more dumb):

> One woman had been offered asylum in Mexico within two weeks but had been encouraged to keep going to the US. Now, she was stuck, living in a nightmare, separated from her young children for months. She sobbed, telling me how she felt like the worst mother in the world.

> Many of these women were highly educated and spoke multiple languages. Yet, they had been advised to pretend they didn’t speak English because it would supposedly increase their chances of asylum.

Trying to game the asylum system by lying to immigration authorities.

I'm not sure how all these cases are supposed to sustain the main thrust of the article, which is that all these people are innocent victims of some Kafkaesque nightmare for which they bear no responsibility. They clearly do.

We shouldn't be treating people like this period, but this is just really stupid behavior.
The part OP is scared of and points to is some border guard revoking your visa, which probably implies you losing your job and having to leave the country you live in. This is scary because it is a very big, bad outcome to be totally in the authority of a random border guard to decide. Waking out by guards and dogs barking on a train is scary in its own right the moment it happens, but we are talking about totally different things whose only intersection is "border guards" and the emotional category of "scared".
I used this recently to download websites, stuffed them into a sqlite db, processed them with Mozllia's readability library, and then used the result and an llm to ask questions of the webpage itself.

It was helpful to take each step in chunks, as I didn't have a complete processing pipeline when I started.

I had wondered if there was an easier or better way to do this, as I probably would have liked to get the sitemap, pass the sitemap to an llm, then only download selected html pages vs the entire website.
For myself, the point is that I don't have to download another app store ever. If fortnite wants to get me (and roughly 50% of US mobile users) to play their game, they _have_ to follow the rules of the app store we have decided suits us best. If, however, other app stores are allowed, then there are no rules. No gatekeeper.

I prefer the gatekeeper, in this case.
Perhaps one could work at a US tech company and spend the free time that results on research.
We are all different, and that's OK. Listening stuff while driving is impossible for me, but I can tune out pretty well while reading something.

There's that proverb "You might have the right of way, but the semi truck will still kill you". We might have the Constitution, but it apparently is enforced on an honor system. (Plus non-citizens don't have any rights, so I guess they aren't inalienable human rights after all, eyeroll)
Hmm. Does this mean they are street legal?

I'm baffled by the multiple levels of irony if you could go into Mexico and buy an EV that you can then use in the US. That would make even Elon's head twist off.
Same. The president is repeatedly threatening to annex my country. I was already avoiding the US because TSA is creepy, but now I'm actively divesting from it.
At least Tesla is competitive.

European carmakers? The core of German industry? Stellantis? Anyone?

Same for the Koreans and Japanese. Nothing.

I get the en vogue Tesla hate, Wrestling keyfabe is fun. China going after the "industry of industries" (Drucker, 1946) is quite something though.
The kernel should be able to use the framebuffer from the UEFI, which the GPU would of already setup, then let the desktop modeset to the target resolution if needed (using the driver).

This is what Windows has been doing without issues for over 10 years. We don't need larger /boot partitions, we need a better boot process that doesn't need infinitely growing space.

It's tariffs. The US has a 100% tariff on Chinese EV already since 2024.
Nonsense.

Saying that as a European who lived in the US for a few years, now residing in Australia.
Technically, that's not what the separation clause is about. That was not, however, professional behavior for a nurse, but I see extremely religious nurses on the reg. Much less so with doctors, but then again religiosity is inversely proportional to education.
Yep, that's what I expected, thanks for filling me in.
True. But it's more like most sites don't work anymore. They can't run without javascript and lack any content but blank pages.
It's certainly gotten worse, which is why I hope people will vote in every election they can vote in.
> even with the new Ryzen AI Max processors and the DDR5 memory, speed is much lower compared to the M-series soldered on a chip

Are you referring to memory bandwidth specifically? Yes, that difference is not worth it. Even if you fully load the CPU and GPU on Apple Silicon you will not come close to using all that bandwidth [0]. You're better off comparing real-world benchmarks instead.

You're European - you don't understand what it's like as an immigrant from the third world.
Why do people flag posts like this?
... and that sort of attitude towards Americans is part of why Trump is able to play Europeans as a ambivalent-at-best bunch.
Thank you. Before I saw your reply, I saw this discussion and links on r/acoustics which in retrospect seems to be the best likely answer. It being a cannon (and not a speaker based device) would mean it’s closer to a controlled explosion than a speaker playing (really loud) music.

There’s still the questions of “how is it so small” (apparently) but at least some aspects are answered now.
This is what main stream media propaganda looks like.

No, she did not; she attended the funeral of a leader of a US-designated terror organization.

No, sorry, you don't get to declare moral superiority because people refused to vote for a candidate who promised to keep arming genocide. "The lesser genocide" is an incredibly weak campaign pitch, and that was proven.

Everything Trump has done, from rearming Netanyahu, to allowing more bombing during a ceasefire, to making efforts for ethnic cleansing was initially proposed/endorsed by Biden; and Harris had promised to do the same.

77% of Democrat voters wanted an arms embargo. The vast majority of elected Dems keep voting to rearm. You can't blame voters for abandoning a party which point-blank refuses to even listen to them, never mind represent them.
Today, I very literally received a vintage laptop with a Core 2 Duo sticker on it.
Yes, tariffs, despite all the trade agreements, have never quite gone away entirely. But it has been a while since we've had an administration try to make them a central element of trade policy and foreign policy.
"Just following orders"
Flagged, of course, to death.

This is an important story of US decline. This woman was here to do business. To work with Americans.

If you're flagging this because you're a part of the tech right, who thinks these policies are somehow good for you, maybe hold off on that flag button and let the discussion play out here. Think about what happens if people from the rest of the world are terrified of working within this country.
Of course they’re street legal? You just can’t buy them in the US. They’re all over Mexico and they’re great.
The Democratic Party loves nothing more than doing nothing and losing elections. Doing things risks upsetting donors. When you don't have power, it's easy to promise progressive policies that you have zero chance of enacting (eg Kamala Harrais was for Medicare-for-all in 2019 [1]). They are the controlled opposition party [2].

Trump advertized everything he was going to do and is now doing [3], despite briefly distance himself from it [4] when it became unpopular for the brief period Democrats messaged about it. Nobody actually believed that. The majority of the authors are former Trump staffers. No one in politics can feign shock or surprise.

We know Democrats are capable of fighting. The problem is they only do that against progressive elemnts of their own party. It's not just Bernie Sanders either (both times). Look at the history of Buffalo mayor Byron Brown [5].

Progressive policies are incredibly popular. Democrats are not. In places like Florida, Kansas and Missouri, ballot initiatives outperformed Harris-Walz by as much as 20 points.

Democrats won't even lie to us about enacting progresive policies. The Democratic leadership and donors are more comfortable with Trump being in power than Bernie Sanders. They're also more interested in protecting the Israeli settler colonial project than winning elections.

Not every Trump voter is a Brownshirt either. Many are simply working people who have legitimate grievances, abandoned by the Democratic economic policies that favor corporations over the New Deal that allowed Democrats to control Congress for almost 60 years.

Whatever bad stuff is going on now, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are absolutely complicit in it.

And in general, Visa free travel is a mutually beneficial deal. If the US stops giving the EU benefits, why shouldn't the EU reciprocate.

Personally, I get it but don't support it. I still appreciate my American brethren, just not their administration. We should hit back at the establishment, not the population. Big point there is reducing weapons import, and adding export tarrifs on F35 parts, perhaps ASML machines aswell.

I think I’m probably not interested in this. PromQL is already relatively dense to learn, but reasonably well fit to the domain model and internally consistent, unlike most other metric querying tools I’ve tried over the years.

Maybe that would work as well with traces and logs but IMO the problem space is quite different and not sure how much value we’d get from a unified language where some subsets only apply to parts, ie traces and logs and metric, as opposed to spiritually similar but distinct languages.
What does "taking responsibility for their actions" mean in this context?
Quite meaningless to talk about keyboard feel.
I have family in the US that I used to visit on a yearly basis, and as of this year I am afraid to visit them ever again. I'm an engineer with a very good income and a very stable life where I live. I would never immigrate illegally to the US to do some illegal job for scraps. And yet here we are, no one is safe. Anyone can end up in one of these hellholes.
NASA in practice isn't what most people think it is. A lot of stuff they're doing is just a mixture of a terrible idea (SLS) and will never go anywhere (Artemis), amongst others. People in-the-know in space are fully aware of this, including NASA officials.

But they keep cheerleading it all and pretending that everything will just be awesome. The reason is that NASA is basically forced to be political (at least their heads seem to feel that way), or their funding will get cut. And this also trickles all the way down to the astronauts who play politics for the sake of being able to keep flying.

It's become a highly dysfunctional organization, so yeah - "Senior NASA official" is certainly not a reliable source on anything remotely related to politics, and this is hard in that domain.
I don't think the accusation of elitism is valid here.

Postulating that a particular kind of activity might be better suited to a particular kind of goal isn't elitism. Is it "elitist" to claim that one sorting algorithm is faster than another?

People are so individualistic and sensitive these days that they take any proposed alternatives that don't align with their own habits and modes of consumption as a direct affront against them. I don't think this article is claiming any sort of superiority—it's lamenting a previous modality of information exchange and reflection that seems to be on the decline. Sure, you might argue that claiming civilization is in crisis is a form of elitism, but I interpret it more like an elaboration of a perceived problem and not a value judgement about the superiority of some alternatives.

I don't like riding in cars. I prefer to walk. Plenty of people would be right to tell me taking a car is often more efficient, I don't think of them as "car elitists".
