He's very very much not the source of this. It's been ascendant literally my whole life, my first foray into really thinking about politics was trying to convince my friends that humans caused climate change and there wasn't a conspiracy of climate scientists trying to trick them so they can get more grant money.

You can see him pretty clearly expanding on and exploiting those existing currents though. One of the ways he got big in American politics is his support of the "birther" movement where he was convinced Obama wasn't born in the US (which, to be clear, was a ridiculous claim and especially galling to me since my birth certificate is from the same hospital and looks almost exactly like his). His political persona gas always been tied to the idea this idea that people are lying and working against America even if he didn't originate the idea.

Edit: also tone is hard to parse on the internet so I'll clarify that this isn't really meant as an argument, it doesn't seem like we really disagree on what Trump's politics is about (even if we have different opinions on those politics). I mainly just wanted to clarify that I saw this long before Trump, even if he's now emblematic of it.

I agree that that is how many people see it. Possibly even your professors.

Fortunately I went to a place where the professors understood the real goals and made decisions as such.

For example (and this is my history, not advice) I took a couple electives for pure interest sake (I didn't need them to graduate. ) I went to all the lectures. I wrote all the exams and tests.

But I skipped all the prac work. I didn't do any of the weekly assignments. Nominally that meant I couldn't write the final exam. (They don't like people writing and failing, and prac work is correlated to that.)

But I went to see both professors. Both knew me (at least by sight, not name.) I explained why the prac work was not important to me (it covered the same process as I'd learned in other courses and the minutiae of the material was irrelevant to me.) My test scores showed I would pass. Both gave me an exemption snd let me write (and I passed.)

I don't recommend this. YMMV. But I hindsight I think maybe they understood I was there to learn process, not material. I was there to add to my big picture, not because I was going to be an oceanographer or astronomer.

I can't even say that I used anything from those courses in my career, although I did write a system for a marine company once, so maybe :)
Look in to the AWS IAM “service description files” aka SDF. Thats exposed via the console Policy Builder or Policy Evaluator logic. The SDF _should_ encode all the context (eg resource attributes, principal metadat) that goes in to the authz decision. The most common opaque issue youll see is where one action has other required resources/actions. Eg a single action attaching an ebs volume requires permission on both instance and volume and _maybe_ kms key with permissions across those services.

> Which cases ended in some kind of enforcement?

By design there's not going to be a direct link to a refusal and the retaliation.

For example, the government has a lot of discretion with something like this:

You don't want to be fighting an antitrust lawsuit against an administration that has a personal vendetta against you.
The deportations are just flashy cruelty to obscure everything else.
fixed the link.

RE: How do either of those help or hurt Trump?
I am not going to speculate that. But looking at the diff of the edit, anything of "substance" is removed from the response, and what remains is a non-answer.
That's only true in the case of very specific life threatening conditions. If your having a heart attack, sure the insurance company doesn't get a say. Long term illness? 100% the insurance determines treatment.

My sister has MS. After failing to respond to a variety of interventions, and losing her ability to walk (for context: this is a woman who ran an ultra marathon the year she was diagnosed) her neurologist wanted to put her on a new drug with lots of studies backing it. Insurance said no. Both my sister and the hospital appealed. Still refused. Sure technically the doctor was still free to prescribe it, but with my sister unable to pay out of pocket, what good does a prescription you can't actually get do?

It wasn't until about a year and a half later when she landed in the emergency room for two weeks that the insurance company finally relented.

MS is a progressive condition. The nerve and brain damage done during those 18 months will be with her for the rest of her life, and will shorten her lifespan.

The idea that insurance companies only make calls on "optional" things that don't affect if the patient lives or dies is simply false.
So everyone else's kids have to have a lower IQ because of that?

seeing the results of what other people doing is different from making decisions just because other people are doing it.
> there already is further research. and the results do seem to be holding up.

You’re conflating different results.

The results of the headline study are dramatic in ways that aren’t holding up. The test score increase happened after a single year of putting air filters in class rooms. That’s minimal exposure to purified air for a fraction of the day, 5 days a week, for less than a year of classes.

The other studies are much longe term and look at things like decades of exposure at city scale.

Do you see the difference? The study tried to claim that purifying air immediately improved test scores by dramatic amounts.

There are other serious limitations in the study, like the fact that they can’t even identify which air purifiers were installed or how effective they were. There’s a footnote that says many weren’t even used. There’s a section on air quality monitoring that says they didn’t even detect the VOCs they were trying to filter before they started filtering.

This is the type of study that people implicitly believe because it makes logical sense, but when you read the details you realize that there isn’t much substance in it.
Instead of piecing together a well reasoned retort that refutes my arguments, you're calling me "delusional". Please learn how to disagree.

Meanwhile Trump is suing pollsters for publications he doesn't like; extorting law firms for representation as reparation for them representing clients that sued him, who is deporting lawful permenant residents without due process for speech that is protected.

How can you possibly look at these and think they are in any way equivelant?
The hubris in thinking the Tooth Fairy of all beings couldn't tell you didn't have any extra teeth missing...
The precise point is that people are _not_ having a home due to a lack of affordability, that they are not having access to health care, and that rights and ascending social mobility of the past is being taken away.

And yes, government policies can definitely help or hinder in all of these.
No, that is obviously not "just free speech". Sheesh. C'mon, man.
Ah yes, because college campuses and the literal federal administration have the same level of power. Absolute tosh.
Sure, all of that can be true, but it doesn't change my point that Americans by and large support his policy, even if he isn't the best salesman in the country, or scares the boomers and the uneducated by mentioning socialism and triggering the McCarthy region of the brain, and it merits exploration as to why people support his policies but not him.

I agree, part of it may be his extreme language off-putting those who don't really know what socialism even means, ie the average american. Keep in mind the average american has reading comprehension at or below that of an average sixth grader. Try selling any complex idea or radical change (even for the better) to a sixth grader, it's going to be tough.

the original refutation was "fluoride in the drinking water concentrations is proven safe and it doesn't affect brains". Your study does not show that IQ is effected at concentrations that are being added to water supplies. Just because X can result from Y levels of some substance does't mean X results from Y-n concentrations.
You can literally watch this stuff real time on the internet now. Trump does something awful. Conservatives online are confused and start asking questions. Talking points from Fox News come out and basically every single conservative online is parroting the party talking points handed down to them. No more confusion.
The Haitian response to the circumstances would rightly be called a genocide today. Perhaps a bit more than simply “fighting back” led to the reaction.

Absolutely.

Let's not shy away from the fact either. They killed 3,000 to 7,000 people excluding the Polish legionnaires (contrary to myth, they did not kill their allies).

If you asked them why they did it, their response was that in the century of French Haitian slavery, a 1,000,000+ slaves were killed by the French slavers. It was cheaper to buy a new slave than fix working conditions. So the sugar plantations had 6% to 10% annual mortality rate.

They responded to evil with evil.

Perhaps a bit more than simply “fighting back” led to the reaction.

Haiti terrified the white supremacists who saw chattel slavery as the "natural" order. The idea that the slaves would fight back upset the cart quite a bit.

In the run-up to the U.S. presidential election of 1860, Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote "I remember the horrors of St. Domingo" and said that the election "will determine whether anything like this is to be visited upon our own southern countrymen."[14]

Abolitionists recognized the strength of this argument on public opinion in both the North and South. In correspondence to the New York Times in September 1861 (during the war), an abolitionist named J. B. Lyon addressed this as a prominent argument of his opponents:

> We don't know any better than to imagine that emancipation would result in the utter extinction of civilization in the South, because the slave-holders, and those in their interest, have persistently told us ... and they always instance the 'horrors of St. Domingo.'[48]

Or, to recontextualize the bard,

These violent delights have violent ends

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey

Is loathsome in his own deliciousness

Absolute domination is the sweetest honey until its violent delights lead to violent ends.
Yep. They got scammed by their own president - a convicted felon who caused a coup.

America is well and truly doomed thanks to apathy of the people.

2. America is bad and shameful.
It's called Project 2025. It's designed to destroy the checks and balances of the US government. They aren't hiding it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Allegations_of_au...

What is nuts to me is there is no liberal project to counter this. Conservatives have this really impressive drive to organize and work together, and liberals just in-fight and throw up their hands and complain. Autocracy is all but guaranteed.
That's a great piece of advice only wish KH ran on her record instead of trying to scare Americans about how evil DT is! Maybe we won't be in this mess!

My side project now is a websockets based dashboard that acts as a todo list for my easily distracted children in the morning. The tv remote is an lg one that can be used as a mouse, and they pop the tasks on the screen. I used chatgpt to generate some kawaii style stickers (think big eyes and sparkes). They love it. The reward is (in the morning at least) however many Blueys they can watch before the predetermined departure time.

A few improvements to go, but from what I hear from other parents (without raising it) is that they'd take advantage of something like this.
It's pretty amazing that out of 350 million people in the United States, the only one who is a free speech absolutist happens to be someone I've heard of.

I was bored so decided to dig a little as it interested me. I found [1] to be helpful explanation of services Hostinger offers. I would gather from [2] OP's business ought to have had access to on demand back up -- as such I would have the expectation that a large streamlined hosting service, would be able to provide a given number of back ups exported to any practical external storage area via a variety of protocols -- however again, as a non customer I have no idea if what I would expect is the actual situation. However running 70 sites without any form of external just in case back up, or monitoring them daily / closely, was an accident waiting to happen -- accidents happen and the prominent OVHcloud incident in 21 should still linger in those tasked to secure their web based company's future. Other technical fubar accidents can also happen like ssd raid dying catastrophically. I myself was amused when my own data in server was updated and data migrated to a ssd raid 5 ... it failed weeks later - expectation was it would be at most a partial loss, however hard the system admin tried over a couple days, little could be recovered, just a couple of gigs of old images - thankfully all but the newest files were backed up so it was easiest to just let it go and start from scratch. Ssds are IMO very unforgiving but in time they will get better in regard to failure detection.

That seems like a problem for the reader, not a problem with the text. Why would the reader expect this? Is it the use of present tense in the title rather than past tense?
Those actions are shitty, but irrelevant to the argument. If you know where someone is, then they haven't been disappeared.
Don’t bother trying to convince him. He’s relishing in the brutality against people he hates. He might try to intellectualize it (in the spirit of HN), but it’s coming from a place of pure emotion. Namely, anger, bitterness, resentment, insecurity, fear, and hatred.
They are welcome to bring up such arguments at a trial, where they can be contested fairly before judge, jury, and the general public.

Jury trials are another important constitutional right that's being infringed. Until the facts are resolved fairly, those accusations are suspect.

I will also remind you that some of those affected are (were?) permanent residents. If they can take that away without due process, it's only a matter of time before citizens are also on the chopping block.
And treating politics like team sports is the root of the problem

The problem is that everyone who sits down to think about swing voters realizes the same thing: tariffs are going to crash the economy, DOGE is going to cut Social Security, and Congress is going to cut Medicaid. But none of these have happened yet, while other bad things swing voters care less about have happened.

So there's a fundamental tension. You can focus on the current situation to the exclusion of swing voters and their interests, or focus on swing voter interests and sound like you're lamely ignoring what's happening right now. It's a hard balance to strike, and while people make noise about it online I think most elected Dems understand everyone's trying as best they can.
You are just going in circles to justify that you are the victim of all of this "non sense". That's like a guy saying "I didn't want to break the law but my employer forced me to it and he would have fired me, etc. etc. I am not saying you broke any laws but drawing a parallel here.

Professors are not (at least not supposed) to be a decoration in a University. They are what makes a University; or break it. You have all the leverage. You accepted the situation, went along with it and now it's backfiring.
If you're referring to what might happen when you overwrite a buffer in privileged kernel code, yes - but that is true regardless of clang, gcc, or what the C standard says about UB.
> In a $10 billion lawsuit against 60 Minutes and its parent Paramount, Trump claims they selectively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris prior to the 2024 election. The TV news show last month published transcripts of the interview at the heart of the dispute, but Paramount is reportedly considering a settlement to avoid potentially damaging its chances of winning the administration’s approval for a pending multibillion-dollar merger.

`Trump "claims" they selectively edited`. This is intellectually dishonest of the OP to say this. It is clear from the published original transcript, it is clear that they did in fact swap out Harris' nonsensical reply to some critical questions with something else she spoke 20-30 mins prior to make it sound like she gave a coherent answer. This is obvious for anyone looking at the original raw footage published by PBS.

Why is the OP saying "Trump claims" when it has in fact been proven to be true? He makes it sound like PBS folks did real journalistic work and Trump is trying to use his power in government to intimidate well-meaning journalists. That is not true.
Sometimes our imaginary friends are in fact real people, lol.
Taking notes forces your brain to process the information in a way that just reading or listening doesn’t.
I would also think there is a bias of schools spending extra money and effort towards student improvements if they are willing to go so far as allocate funding for air filtration systems. A better method would be to just give some schools air filtration for free and see if things help without any other major changes.

To me its like looking at schools that buy newer buses and trying to show new buses improve test scores. When in practice the only schools that are buying any significant number of new buses have far more money coming in than in the past and have a lot more to spend on students compared to other schools, which is way more relevant than what year a kid's bus is made. Maybe better buses would improve scores too, but there is no way to tell if 95% of an improvement is due to other unrelated factors based on funding.

The Twitter files are basically the same as the Mueller report at this point. Folks completely ignorant to the topic and who have never read them hold them up as proof that they were right all along.
