Really??? I had an iBook from 2001, and put Linux on it, but power consumption was definitely the best of laptops in that entire era. What could it be, like 20-30 watts? Motorola PPC processors weren't exactly heat beasts (or speed demons lol).

I'd be curious about how yours has held up. I overclocked my iBook back in the day to play DivX (bumped FSB from 66 to 100mhz) and it eventually cooked around 2010.
(1) Bypassing the judicative branch is authoritarian.

(2) You just claimed trump has access to smart advisors and some hidden masterplan but you ignore all counter indication. He ousts critical journalists, nominates incompetent staff, invasion-mongers, tweets and plays golf alot.

If i can see any common factor in his insanity, its the need to have an enemy to pose as the strong man against, which indicates that trump does not have a constructive vision for the US.
That this would happen is evident to everybody with a minimum knowledge of economics. It’s the same reason UBI won’t work because it would make prices skyrocket.
The fines are not imposed in bad faith, they're imposed for actual, provable violations of the law. Companies who do not violate the law are not fined. Complaining about fines is another way of saying "We'd like to trade in the EU while violating EU laws that every EU company also has to adhere to."
In your scenario white collar jobs will be destroyed globally.

So effectively you would be paying people to work in manufacturing even though it's no longer necessary.

You may as well pay a basic income instead.
"Cultural threat" is not correct descriptor of "elimination of white race". They were talking about race war, you are trying to find words that make it non fascist. So, you will need to be precise about what your euphemism of "real cultural threat" means. If it means that they perceive Jews as the reason for "elimination of white race" as they said, then it is just being Nazi with all the logical consequences.

Some people are Nazi and that is that. The eternal wish to reframe far right nazi as something else and non-threatening regardless of what these people do, say or push for amounts to lying to oneself.
Heck yeah, they have ReBoot:

> I think essentially tolerating other peoples opinions and trying to understand where they are coming from is more useful than applying purity tests to your friends and family.

Most of the time this is just being an enabler, who excuses, makes up rationales and blames "the other side" for not being nice enough to extremists. Especially when we talk with about fascist close groups. People who say this achieve only limitations on the opposition to extremists. They rarely or never manage to move extremist into the center.

> I’m pretty sure that they weren’t voting for those candidates for the express purpose of stripping away those rights and there were other policies and values that they were voting for.

Why are you so sure? There are plenty of conservatives who openly talk about it. It is not being tolerant when you decide that no one is allowed to do that observation. You are not being neutral here, you are biasing the discussion toward the extremism when you do it.
This is wrong. The US still has an excellent manufacturing industry. Just because you don’t make sneakers over there anymore, doesn’t mean you’re not good at manufacturing.

Frankly the US makes some amazing things.
Yes, it's never a good idea to underestimate the intelligence or agency of the enemy.

But in this case: what is the game plan? What are they trying to achieve? Is it simply chaos, so that they can rule in perpetuity?
I have been a John Oliver viewer from the first season, and my comment will be the same as what I said 9 years ago: This is bullship.

Start small, but START. Start from Democrats accepting what every LEFT leaning person the rest of the world accepts: Photo ID is necessary, not to reduce voter fraud or whatever, but necessary to increase TRUST in the system.

It's a cost, just pay it. Yes you will lose 'face' to republicans, don't care.

Start small, start with free/cheap photo ID in deep democratic cities (I know local govt providing service, what an idea!).

Once saturation reaches 80% plus, start enforcing voter ID laws to cajole the last 20% to start applying, carrot and stick. Start offering door-step service for those unable.

Democrats pay taxes, don't they? start using them.

Spread to other cities in democratic states. So what if it takes 10-20 year? Times passes like nothing.

And once you have SET the standard of cheap, reliable access to Photo ID... and when democrats in power in the federal government again, they can use that to help implement cheap photo ID elsewhere, but even if Missouri doesn't get voter ID, it doesn't excuse democratic states NOT having it.

The fact that the DMV is only open three days a month or whatever? If it's a democrat led city, FIX it. If it's a republican city, you can come to it later.

But NOT starting, as some sort of fake 'rights' issue? Bullship.

Start. Start Small, Start NOW. in 25 years you won't even remember this.
I agree the current experience is sonewhat unpolished. The docs explain the vision best: https://sandstorm.org/how-it-works
Good luck. I personally dislike MassTransit as it's way too opinionated for what it does. I use whatever SDK I need for Azure Service Bus, Kafka etc. and perhaps slightly wrap it for my purposes.

As for the other bit around AutoMapper. I do my own mapping and so should you. MediatR and what it does you can implement yourself in a few hours that will cover 90% of use cases if you know what you're doing.

All in all I want less dependencies in my code. Everything is bloated to shit anyways.

Even Boris Johnson was turned away from a polling station because he didn't have his ID with him.
That sounds even more plausible.
> Replacing the mainboard itself costs the same amount of money as a new laptop (an entire device). Their component prices are on their website under "Shop Parts", so you can verify that for yourself. I can buy a brand new Ryzen 7000 series laptop for the price of replacing a Ryzen 7000 series mainboard for a Framework laptop.

That’s not true, you must be comparing unlike boards and machines.

a 7640 mainboard is $380 (https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ryzen-7040-series?...) and a 7640 chassis (with no memory, ssd, or expansion bays) is $750 (https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-amd/configurat...)

Another example, the ai 7 350 mainboard is $700, and a bare chassis is $1,230.

The idea is whether the AI can come up with ideas independently, is curious to develop questions, and find answers. In the case of Claude or any AI model, the first input is always from a human. The prompt given is more valuable because, without it, AI would have all the data and computational strength in the world, but wouldn't know what to do with it.
Sri Lankan here. They just slapped 44% on us (higher than on China). The country is just trying to recover from the economic crisis and the sovereign debt default of 2022, so we have very high import duties on certain items (e.g. vehicles) to discourage dollar outflow. Looks like the US just saw that as hostile and decided to strike back.
It's a vicious cycle. But at the end of the day it's the _company_ that has to entice workers.
Would you like to remind them also what NADRA has Ahmedis sign (half-nama)? I don’t think John Oliver would be very happy about that…

If you think Trump won't have exemptions for his friends, I have some of his memecoins to sell you.
I've used Thinkpads consistently for 25-30 years, and still do. I can't really draw a line between "before" and "after" but if I take a long enough period I can definitely see differences in the experience getting watered down or generally worse, from less flexibility to lower reliability.

I still have and regularly use a fully functional X200, somewhere in the box I have a fully functional T42 and an R31 whose only defect is a small screen blemish caused by me closing the lid with something on the keyboard.

But my multiple X1 Gen1 and Gen2 all have various failures (screen, battery, webcam, or keyboard), my T450 has big battery issues, my T470s have screen/GPU and battery issues. T490 is fine for now, X1 Gen11 has crappy battery and is overheating from the get go. These are different generations, different lots and still affected by the same constant issues.
To be fair yoga models always had issues, never fully Linux compatible and never had a long lifetime. Not sure what this series is supposed to be, but I wouldn't recommend it.
My original comment in the thread:

> A large bunch of big companies, including some of the biggest on the planet don't even sell past-end-of-life laptops to their current employees.

It's good that Automattic is doing it, I was wishing it was an industry standard procedure, for all past-end-of-life hardware, not just layoffs and not just laptops.

Right now FAANG, for example, which you'd expect to have the very best of everything, as far as I know don't give old laptops (and other old hardware) to employees, they don't even sell them. They send them to be recycled or whatever, but the best action is to reduce and reuse, recycle should be the last option.

Plus an employee is likely to be willing to accept their old device since they know it's performance and general behavior.

I do enjoy the idea of making election days days off, days to celebrate. But yes, it usually takes me about five minutes to vote in the Netherlands, so I don't really need the day off.
I actually stopped buying from Amazon and went to either the producer's site or Aliexpress. Literally the same products but without the middleman.

I once needed to claim warrantee on a broken charger and after navigating all the dark patters Amazon just referred me to the producer's website. It's not even convenient.
I agree that "tribalism" exists. I'd add that sometimes political disagreements are actually differences in morality. And there is no way you can persuade someone to change their moral beliefs. Everyone accepts their moral beliefs as "axioms". But I still believe it's worth discussing politics in order to learn what kind of person someone is and their morality.
There is a fine line between democratic leadership and authoritarianism.

Public consultations and transparency are two crucial and lately very under appreciated parts of democracy.

If a leader cheats the voters it is no longer democracy.
I wonder if Perplexity uses similar methods under the hood or if it is a completely different approach.

You're giving him too much credit.

Trump has always liked tariffs [alas, I can't find the source for this pre-presidency, its been blown out by current events]. He thinks trade is a zero sum game, and thinks that someone else set up the petro-dollar system.

Trump has consistently and reiliably always cowered away from war. Using other means to stop it (see russia, NK, China, Iran). Yes I hear the "we're going to invade x, y and z" but they never acutally came to anything (is that because of his advisors?)

Trump doesn't think about future capacity, only future pride. Does this change "make american stronger, and other weaker" is pretty much the only calculus that he's doing.

Trump's thinking is roughly as following:

"Why do we have taxes when we can use tariffs to raise cash and bring power back?"

"Why don't they buy from us?"(china/rest of asia)

"why are we spending money on them, when we don't get any money back? They are weak."(NATO)

"Why are we punishing russia, they are offering deals" (Putin offering cash deals)

There is no 4d chess. Its just a man who's pretty far gone, shitting out edicts to idiots willing to implement them.
You should not discuss politics with friends.

You should however discuss politics with close friends -- they probably got close to you because you both share a worldview or they like hearing your worldview (even if it differs from yours).

Closeness means more sharing. That always comes with risks and rewards.

Well, it's not "remodeling your house" big, but in 25 cubic feet you can fit 15-20 cabin size suitcases. That sounds like "family vacations" big.

Callous.
Scanning input just is unrelated to the "modified while running" problem. The "modified while running" problem is a read-buffering problem.

For example, consider the following change:

-echo $x; rm -rf /n/foobar/
+rm -rf /n/foobar/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If the shell's first read() reads 16 bytes (indicated above with "^"), then the file is changed, then the shell reads the rest; then the shell will see "echo $x; rm -rf /" regardless of whether or not it scans the input multiple times.

I am unfamiliar with the read-buffering done by either of the 2 main implementations of rc, and so am unable to comment on whether it does things to avoid this problem. But if it does do things to avoid it, those things are orthogonal to the "not a macro processor / input is never scanned more than once" thing.
Because Americans are too rich and manufacturing is too cheap. If any of those changes it's a different story, but that's unlikely to happen.
Wow I really just read a .gov website trying to obscure a formula by multiplying 0.25 by 4.

I'm stunned.

https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations

"To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024. Parameter values for ε and φ were selected. The price elasticity of import demand, ε, was set at 4.

Recent evidence suggests the elasticity is near 2 in the long run (Boehm et al., 2023), but estimates of the elasticity vary. To be conservative, studies that find higher elasticities near 3-4 (e.g., Broda and Weinstein 2006; Simonovska and Waugh 2014; Soderbery 2018) were drawn on. The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25."
I can not be friends with someone that votes for ppl that try to literally erase me.

If these ppl come into power i have to leave my country and i would rather not have to do it.
Yeah I think this why "Book a call" level customers are really subsidising it. Say $10/m/u and you get 200 seats. You pay $2000/m but the bugs you hit are likely uniform so you loaf support like maybe 20 individual users. 20 individual users only bring in 10%. So you need the whales to keep it going.
> and do not even have a possibility to grow to management.

Hang on, why should this even be the goal? I really do want to question the premise of this kind of ladder in the first place. You got someone with a really good skill, one that is critical to your operations and you... want to put them in charge of people rather than keep doing what they're doing? You can just keep promoting people with whatever direction you want them to go in. It is all arbitrary and made up anyways. So why not keep promoting them in a direction where you still benefit from those technical skills?

Sales taxes are on a state by state basis and online companies are required to collect it from the buyer and forward/report it to the state. Local purchases all have sales tax paid to state governments, some to city in urban areas. Some food items are exempt. A state can choose to not have a sales tax but most do IIRC. There is no federal sales tax. Until these tariffs which are essentially taxes.
At the risk of sounding pessimistic, and as someone who also identifies himself as leftist: If the end result is voting between black/white binary choices, and that act of voting is itself one of the most important self-expression, does the fact that I disagree with them in a few points matter?

This article compares two deliberately-different platforms.

One is vertically integrated and designed for thermal performance, lightness, thinness and attractiveness.

One is modular, and sacrifices thermal performance, lightness, thinness and attractiveness in order that the user can replace their own battery / RAM / etc

IMO the latter is a false economy. Yes, you can upgrade your RAM, but what about the bus speed, and limitations of the motherboard and CPU? You end up with a Frankenstein's monster of new and old parts, which are constrained by the lowest common denominator, and only useful for basic tasks.

Apple devices have high resale value. Far better, IMO, to sell your laptop after a few years, as a cohesive, intact package that retains some residual value, and then buy a new one with wholly modern parts that make sense together.
> The article you link even begins: "So many TV shows and movies now"

and from this you somehow deduce "hose "so many" belong mostly to a certain type of drama."

Where "certain type of drama" is anything from procedurals to action, from drama to fantasy.

> It may, however, seem "everywhere" if you're only watching that type of drama.

Where the article uses the following "certain type of drama" examples: Justice League, Dexter. Definitely they both fall into the category of "the same type of drama".

> You're not seeing it in comedies.

As in: modern comedies are washed out and desaturated more often than not. For every Barbie there's a dozen Red Notices
That's an over-simplified answer. There are many people who share in the blame. Him for doing it as a visible catalyst, everyone who voted for him, presidential advisers who recommended these disastrous policies, and those who sat idly by and let the country be destroyed without acting to prevent it, especially those with greater-than-ordinary power who failed to act.
I'm wondering how this protectionist trend will impact overseas hires. Will US companies continue to hire talent remotely outside of their borders? Will they be incentivized to only hire in the US?
Tesla in Berlin employs 12,000 workers and can produce 5000 cars a week.

The US will need a lot of factories to employ 10s of millions of workers.I also imagine new factories will employ less workers due to increased automation.

I'm interested to see how this plays out.
No it can not. That's an interesting idea, though, but one would need to navigate/differentiate between the rendered output text and the Mermaid diagram code.
Look up the petrodollar.

If I'm Romanian and my currency is leu (RON) and you're Mexican and your currency is pesos (MXN), you don't want my RON since you can't use it for anything except for imports from Romania and I don't want your MXN since I can only use it for imports from Mexico.

If we both agree on USD, I can go to any other country which wants USD (all of them) and buy whatever I want.
This is called the euro dollar (look it up, it had nothing to do with Europe).

In short: when two non us countries trade, eg., oil they settle on USD.

So for south Africa to buy oil from Kuwait, they need USD.
I tend to agree with you that they know. However the signal leeks showed me that they are not just playing stupid in public - it seems that they are like that for real.

Not to mention 29% tariffs on Norfolk Island. Who hasn’t exported anything to the U.S. in years.

And a 10% tariff on the Macdonald Islands, which has a population of zero (not including the penguins).

Perhaps Trump thought he was taxing a fast food competitor?

Fun fact: these are all internal territories of Australia. Why they get separate tariffs is weird.
Are we factoring in digital/service trades? For example, Netflix is in Vietnam. There are many Netflix subscribers in Vietnam. Does that get factored into the trade deficit? Or is it only physical goods that get factored in?

Vietnam uses many US services such as Microsoft Office, Netflix, ChatGPT, Facebook ads, etc. This is revenue that directly go into the pockets of American companies.

Eng Manager here. At previous jobs I constantly had this assignment of "stop coding and only do code reviews". This to me is incredibly short-sighted as my code reviews are gonna be shit if I don't code.

Also managing a team of even 10 developers was the easiest job I ever had. Hire well, treat them well, talk with them routinely, solve conflicts, allow them to explore things.

The hard part of the job is of course functioning as a therapist for disorganised power-grabbing product people and shielding my team from their shenanigans. I'm so tired of it.

Every bad engineering manager I had two characteristics: they never have time to code but also never have to talk to me or any other employee.
Except the USBc. Not sure if this applies to all models of the t480 series but that connector was slowly breaking down with each use, until it partially worked as charging slot and all usb functionality was lost.

I went trough 4 different docks until I realized who the actual problem was, and the internet was full with similar issues once I knew what to look for.

For some reason my nearly identical, slightly newer, X1 doesn't have these issues.

Rich people are typically insulated from economic downturns, especially ones they cause, by their ability to shift investments and asset allocations to mitigate and/or profit from changing tides.

Furthermore, Trump has never bought his own groceries, pumped his own gas, or interviewed for a job so retail prices and layoffs are abstractions "for plebs". Plus, he's reaching the end of his life so he doesn't have very much proverbial skin in the game since his motivations revolve almost exclusively around himself.
