Not "the shareholder class" but the actual super wealthy, those few thousand individuals at the top.

A way I have recently seen this put is that if you have a billion dollars another billion doesn't do that much for you in real terms. But if you're a billionaire who likes to sexually harass your child's nanny, you would much prefer she be desperate and precarious rather than economically secure or with a lot of other viable options. This is one crude example but the dynamic is in play in many other situations.

So idk, it's plausible to me that the class interests of the wealthy extend beyond mere wealth accumulation. I can imagine circumstances where they would be willing to give up some of their absolute wealth in exchange for greater relative wealth.
Trump is wrecking the US at the behest of Putin, directly or indirectly doesn't really matter.

Hence he didn't put tariffs on Russia.
> The surplus value that used to head to shareholders as a result of cheap foreign goods will go down, but that can be offset by layoffs and the like.

could you just do the layoffs without the tariff if it were a conspiracy?
These foreign investments are mostly not currency. When a foreign country makes a lot of investments in the US, they could be buying stocks, bonds, or making direct investments - such as building US factories, as many foreign auto makers have done. Or buying entire companies - one of the big three US auto makers (Stellantis) is now foreign-owned.

Stable countries that have a lot of attractive investments will tend to have a large trade deficit, and the US is one of the more profitable places to invest. (Well, not so much at the moment.)
Well, you should then accept that some things will be very expensive for you as well. Is that what you want?
This is what all of the smart people have been saying. So pretty much yeah.
Because it actually is, in no small part, the illiberal left's fault for going all out to emphasize identity instead of unity, dividing and polarizing the U.S. population.

The illiberal left must be held accountable for their role in the Democratic defeats of 2024, expelled and publicly repudiated, and then the Democratic Party can work on rebuilding trust with voters.
Some stats from this video:

- The UK has one of the worst homelessness problems in Europe, with about 1 in 50 Londoners experiencing homelessness.

- The UK economy stagnated for 10 years following 2008, resulting in a "lost decade"

- The median disposable income in the UK was slightly lower than the US and Norway before the GFC by 6-8%, not it's 16-20% behind.

IDK if I'd call this a crisis, i.e. people aren't rioting in the streets. That said, this is not the direction you want to be moving in as a developed country. The trend of people in formerly dominant countries electing leaders who keep making stupid own goals (increasing economic inequality, Brexit, gutting the NHS, gutting US foreign aid, tariff-pocalypse) is very worrying.
If that was the case the west bank would at peace, instead it's getting annexed with a pending ethnic cleaning plan.

They could be unconstitutional. The ability of Congress to delegate its authority to the President does have limits. If companies (the ones in a financial position to do this) sued, they'd have standing and could make their case. Whether it's successful or not would take a while to find out, and this is an instance where judges would likely leave the tariffs in place until the suit was settled in a court (before appeals) if the plaintiffs won.
Modern search engines are yet another case of the tech world refusing to learn from other domains and dragging down everyone's quality of life as a result. People have been searching and organizing information long before computers. There is an entire field called library science.

Why is everyone so fixated on keywords for instance? They have their uses, but librarians and people who do research for a living also use subject headings. These are still human designated as far as I know.

People who are experts in an area often search directly by author. An actually useful tool would be something that cross-references advisor-advisee relationships, who was colleagues with who as a function of time, etc, and finds additional sources based on author networks. You maybe could do something like this for the web too, as I suspect a lot of high quality pages made by individuals are related by such interpersonal networks. A lot of spammy garbage sites probably have network relations to each other as well.

Tried it for a bit. Paid one month of the subscription.

The dashboard is incredibly clunky and at the time they didn't have SSL for db connections (not sure about now). A lot of stuff you need to know what you're doing like configuring tags for Traefik etc.

The deal breaker was it didn't have zero downtime deploys. Any pending request when you update an app is simply killed.

I was expecting something like Heroku or Vercel but this ain't it.

Ended up concluding that if I wanted to run/deploy apps on my own VPS I'd just use Kamal or Dokku. Both have zero downtime deploys, certbot, proxy, etc.
There's nothing in my comment to "exactly" in support of your point. If the US backs away from Europe it may be more likely to encourage Ukrainian surrender. Russia may be more likely to attack Poland. Germany may be more likely to develop its own nuclear deterrent. Or none of these things may happen. Extrapolating from tariffs to world peace demands a bit more than loose speculation at the continental level.
Well you know, officer, I was going towards the brothel in order to get away from the brothel....
Maybe, but vetoes are politically very expensive. Even if he threatens to veto, Congress should still do it. Not doing obvious things because they might run into opposition/problems is a recipe for more and worse of the same.

> both leaders claim their approaches have helped them this week avoid what Trump calls “liberation day” tariffs.. Mexican officials on Thursday said the strategy had borne fruit and they would focus on getting an even better deal. Economy minister Marcelo Ebrard said: “It's a great achievement, I’d say, from the point of view of where we started not long ago that there would be no exemptions.” .. Mexico remains upbeat, with [President] Sheinbaum on Thursday trying to lure companies to invest in USMCA-compliant production in the country. “We think that with the dialogue we’ve established there are the conditions to have a better deal,” she said.
Americans, not content with learning from others' mistakes, will now be learning them first hand. The horrors are just beginning.
Agree. This sounds like the simplistic "billionaires were the problem all along" take, which is, TBF, not that different from Trumpism. The only difference is the choice of enemies who are responsible for all our problems.
I know some economists during the second half of the 20th century had the exact opposite view of the Mercantilist philosophy.

For example Mercantilism says a country should maximize exports and minimize imports as much as possible.

Meanwhile Milton Friedman, one of the most prominent economists of the 20th century, said that a country that had large amounts of imports with minimal exports was a very successful country. The idea being that such a country was essentially buying things from other countries at minimal cost.

Edit: The following link quotes something he said regarding this:

Yep, he’s doing to other countries what he’s done to contractors, plumbers, and other tradesmen for years.

SomaFM is some of the best of the internet. There's no ads and you don't need to sign in. You can just stream it without faff.

Try opening your browser's console, network inspector, etc. and see what happens when you try to play. There will almost certainly be enough hints in there to diagnose the issue.
This is a big problem with the strategy.

Of course, if you manage to dismantle checks and balances, manipulate elections, and stay in for a third term, you fix the problem…

He’s maintaining crippling sanctions on Russia…
> I am pretty sure that you will not see a negative correlation between tax and GDP, just look at that list.

The short-term correlation is between tax and GDP growth. Obviously if you set a lower tax rate in Greece it doesn't instantaneously become a rich country.

And the correlation exists at the level of taxes typically seen in first world countries. If you try to look at Zimbabwe or Ethiopia and ask why their low tax rates don't result in higher GDP, it's because they're not even providing a threshold level of basic government services. There is such a thing as too low, it's just not a thing typically observed in practice in Western countries. (To some extent the baseline is also an absolute dollar amount per capita rather than a tax rate; you could easily provide police and basic transportation infrastructure for 5% of US GDP but not 5% of Somali GDP.)

> And maybe the politicians and tax officers in Denmark are people that got there because they enjoyed free university education instead of getting it paid by their parents?

The typical causes of government inefficiency aren't the unavailability of qualified people, they're corruption and nepotism, or some other structural misfeature that exacerbates the principal-agent problem.

For example, the US constitutional structure envisioned a weak federal government with enumerated powers and constrained by a US Senate elected by the state legislatures with a personal incentive to inhibit federal overreach. Then the commerce clause was read so broadly as to de facto grant a general federal regulatory power and the 17th amendment caused Senators to be directly elected, leading to a massive expansion in federal power without otherwise changing the structure of the federal government. People elect their local dogcatcher and State Comptroller but the federal executive branch has only one elected official, the President of the United States.

The result is an excessive amount of regulatory capture and corruption, not because there are no qualified people available, but because there is a structural lack of accountability to the voters because the federal government wasn't originally intended to do most of what it currently does.
If the betting site is used as a hedge, then the equilibrium prices don’t reflect real-world probabilities.

Suppose people predicted that Trump would tank the economy and wanted a few extra dollars in that case. An extra dollar in a Trump world would be worth more than in a normal world, thus distorting betting.
I'm not even sure that it is to the detriment of our domestic laborers. It certainly makes domestic manufacturing less competitive, especially the lowest skill/barrier to entry manufacturing. However, the US manufactures a LOT still, there are loads of reasonably well paying jobs for lower skill worker. I will say that housing and healthcare costs are high in the US but those are not things that are imported.
People's models for the world have been massively disrupted. What we knew "before" is sort of thrown out the window now. These tariffs, if they are sustained, will create massive shifts that we cannot fully comprehend. It's like a massive physics system that's just received a shock.
> created solely by Trump

Nitpick: No, the entire Republican party is at fault here.

They willfully ignored every warning, and attacked the people giving the warnings. They promoted him, protected him in two impeachments, eventually re-elected him, and actively confirmed his cabinet of sycophants instead of requiring some adults in the Oval Office. Then they took specific steps to block anyone from challenging his "national emergency" against our neighbors, by declaring that the rest of the year simply "doesn't count" for the 15 day timer in the original legislation.

Some Republican legislators may have had hard-choices for securing their own re-elections, but they still chose this route.

Hey is it still too early to call it fascism you guys.
What’s the sample size of significant downward moves in the market during the existence of BTC?
Our daughter swallowed a quarter when she was two. My wife was driving and noticed that she had gone silent in her car seat, which as parents know can be a bad sign. Our 4 year old son then mentioned that she might have eaten a coin. She rushed her to the ER, which was thankfully close by. It wasn't completely blocking her windpipe but it was very close to doing so.

As a nice souvenir of the incident we do have a great full body x-ray of her with the coin centered right in the middle of her neck.
To improve rust belt manufacturing, you would target competitors of industries in that area, not the whole global economy.

We imposed a 32% tariff on Taiwan. Simultaneously, we are making it more expensive to manufacture here in the states. We have 1/4 China's pop - why would we try to compete on raw output by ourselves, instead of strengthening ties w/ the world?

For many countries, there is nothing to negotiate since we already have free trade agreements with them. We may import a lot of goods, but we export a lot of services, like many developed nations do.

With regard to raising revenue, think of the tradeoffs. If demand is elastic (given our trade deficit, it has to be!), this will be a tax on many, many American businesses and consumers. Its just moving the taxes from income tax to a consumption tax. That's a worse deal for poorer/middle-class Americans.
I meant "liability" in the sense of "is the US's status as the global reserve currency, on balance, a bad thing for the US?" not in the sense of "Is a US dollar abroad an asset or a liability on America's balance sheet?" Probably could have used a better word.
This is awesome! Is there any support beyond the wrist, or how resistive is it when you press the buttons? Have you considered 2 hands too? Do you feel like you've maxed out the number of comfortably reachable keys? I guess you can't have keys off to the side since you can't move your hand relative to the keyboard. Does the thumb do anything currently?

I'm in this niche market too... although I don't really have an immediate use case beyond someday being more portable. Also had some issues with XR glasses and fov being reduced further by eye-glass distance.
While that's true in theory, in practice GitHub or GitLab is the "global" replica for most developers.

Squarespace is fantastic for early iterating. I started a company about 8 months ago bootstrapped, I’ve spent about 5k total. 12k revenue last mo w/ Squarespace site as front end. Using various things like Elfsight for some embedded widgets, Heyflow for embedded lead forms. I can change anything I need in 5 min. Not particularly technical background.
No, that's a different scenario. In the one I gave there's explicitly a dependency between requests. If you use gather, the network requests would be executed in parallel. If you have dependencies they're sequential by nature because later ones depend on values of former ones.

The 'trick' for CUDA is that you declare all this using buffers as inputs/outputs rather than values and that there's automatic ordering enforcement through CUDA's stream mechanism. Marrying that with the coroutine mechanism just doesn't really make sense.
Awesome!

Had no idea. Still I think the community here is much better filtered.

Maybe ask yourself why human suffering was so great that people voted to break the system..? Big tech should have paid more respect for things like housing.

This is true for any self-host OSS project. You are pointing at the grass and warning people that it is green.
US manufacturing is at an all time high in terms of output. Less people are needed in that sector because it's an area where automation is highest. I agree that there is a national security reason to have tariffs to protect some manufacturing, but that should be a precision targeted tariff if anything.

Oh, yikes. I’ve come to rely on the email->sms gateway from AT&T. I’ve had they set up a s a forwarding address within my web mail for a few years now, and have filters which forward matching messages as SMS to my phone.

The formatting is often quite lousy but it’s enough to send me a nudge to check my email for a message from the library, a job I applied for, or whatever.

I wouldn’t have heard about this about it being posted here, so thank you!

Far... far... worse. The Rwanda exile program at least had some concept of due process in both the UK and Rwanda. The Rwanada exile program was at least stopped when the courts told it to instead of trying to remain secret long enough to avoid the courts having a chance to forbid it, and then outright ignoring the court orders forbidding it when that failed.

Here the program is "ICE picks you up off the street, without telling anybody. Writes in some internal document that you're a foreign national member of a gang, without telling anybody or giving you a chance to challenge that. Ships you off to El Salvador's concentration camp, without telling anybody". To this date even the lawyers challenging the program don't actually know the name of everyone who was shipped to El Salvador.

Maybe somebody finds out, by looking at ICE publicity photos that you happen to be in the background of, maybe not. Maybe you are a member of the gang, maybe you're a US citizen whose never even heard of the gang. Doesn't matter, there was no chance to challenge ICEs decision. You weren't even informed of the decision, you were just put on a plane without being told why. And once you're there, even if somebody figures out that's where you are and challenges the decision on your behalf, the US has no authority to bring you back.
I feel like people haven't internalized that there may not be fair another presidential election. The SAFE Act is the most Orwellian bill that is highly likely to pass and would tremendously move things in Republican's favor

As are felony convictions, top secret docs in a bathroom at your house, sexual assault settlements, and the hundred other career-ending scandals the guy has survived without a scratch so far.
It also depends on what you think people want. Do they want a vast array of cheap consumer goods and entertainment, or do they want more affordable basics, like housing, cars, and healthcare?

The problem is more that the companies want to keep their insane profit margin. They could produce in the US, pay workers more and sell for the same price.

But thats less revenue for the company. Less shareholder value. Less bonus for CEOs.

The problem is the hyper capitalism which we have for the past 50 years that every company needs more and more profits.
Yes, just like I said: "which would ironically involve the same number of votes as keeping the law but slapping down Trump's particular usage of it."

Originally it wasn't veto-able (only needed a Concurrent Resolution of 50% in each house, no Presidential signature) but the Supreme Court ruled that part unconstitutional in the early 80s.
The context here is AI assisted engineering and you raised the point that non-engineering productivity is more important for engineers, which I think is absurd.

You can have 10x engineering productivity boost and still complete work in the same amount of time, because of communication and human factors. Maybe it's a problem, may be it's not. It's still a productivity gain that will make you work better nonetheless.

Interesting. So when I tried the “Indiana Jones” prompt I got an image back that looked a lot like Indiana Jones but with a face much more similar to Nathan Drake. Whereas the predator prompt generated an image of the predator but, unlike the article, wearing his mask.

So there’s clearly some amount of random chance in there, but the trope is still very clear in the generated image, so it seems like you’re going to get an archetype.
Where did you take this from? Trump is not from working class. Working class might've been his 'platform' for the election, but he's already elected now, he basically has no incentive now to fight for the rights/interests of his voters, he has his own wallet that needs to finally get filled. Unless you think he really aims for a 3rd term.
Every major financial crisis since (at least) the 80's has resulted in a "K shaped recovery" in which the 99% are forced by circumstance to sell off assets to the wealthy at bargain prices.

Coolify unfortunately didn't click with me, and I had a bad experience with a Redis database, so I stopped using it.

I would recommend Elestio (eles[dot]io) as an alternative which isn't open source, or self-hostable, but met my primary goal of drastically reducing cloud costs. And you can bring your own cloud/server, though I'm choosing to also rent from Hetzner through Elestio.

I'm running two redis databases on machines with 3 cpus, 4gb ram, and 80gb storage for about $80 total (the machines are billed hourly, but you get the max monthly bill up front).

I'd love to hear more about what sort of sense these tariffs made at any stage since they were announced.
My comment may be naive but digital services do not have tariffs. Given the unpredictable manner of Trumps tariffs wouldn't this encourage more startups and companies to focus on exporting digital services instead of focusing on physical goods? If so there could be minimal increase in goods produced in US and instead US consumers just absorb the price rise of goods with the consequences that arise from that.
As someone who sold all my stock in January and invested into bonds, I think we are far from it, but the bottom it will depend if the tariffs are lifted in the next days. The worst case scenario would be tariffs being kept and the FED eventually losing independence.

I think it is safe to say that we probably will go back to pre COVID levels, since the trust in the stock market is eroded, but this time with high interest rates.
