That always seems to happen with this sort of protections. It's like when the government tries to incentivize people to buy electric cars by paying 25% of it (example from the climate bonus in Sweden, which was given for years), but what happens is that buyers actually end up paying just maybe 5% less as the car companies now can increase their prices and still sell the cars they produce while making more money.
I'd almost forgotten about the Switch Lite. It is like a slightly larger PSVita (14mm wider, 6mm taller, and 1mm thinner than a PCH-2000).

I've got uBO on my Android Firefox and the form is visible. UMatrix shows only first party css, no js at all, which is good. You might have other extensions. View source on my phone shows a very simple HTML page with a form that posts to list-manage.com Maybe something added to your Firefox is blocking that.
This article seems to be saying that religions are tribal by nature because it's made up of humans, and humans are tribal by nature -- ok fair enough. But the subtext I'm getting is that people in religions are less self-aware of it than the author or the people they admire.

People being more interested in comfortable beliefs rather than true beliefs has always been a concern throughout Biblical history. But that doesn't mean it never went unchallenged.

For instance, regardless of what you think of the Bible, it's interesting that Isaiah has the following to say to Judah (emphasis mine) because it shows an ever-present problem with human nature.

For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord;
*who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions”*

And before someone responds with a de jure objection to say that "the instruction of the Lord" is not looking for truth, I just want to make it clear that that is out of the scope of my point. My point is that, de facto, in the context, a religious text is agreeing that it is bad to "tribe-up and truth-out."

Lastly, on a personal note, as a human Christian, I think I have the same biases to groupthink as any other person because I am human. But because Christianity has a reputation, I have found that throughout my life, I've had to work harder to really test (not validate) my beliefs because I am constantly being challenged and, ironically, often ended up more informed about both my beliefs and my interlocutors' beliefs.
Not sure if you're joking, but volunteer work is quite different than having to stand at the checkout line packing backs in a commercial setting.
I have a 25th Anniversary Edition Thinkpad, 7th gen i7 that I keep running PopOS specifically because it has the old magic style IBM keyboard. It's the only laptop I can stand typing on, but it's video card is getting so old in the tooth that it's starting to have problems with compatibility.
I thought I had burned away all my empathy for seppostanis but somehow I am still able to feel third hand embarrassment at this moment.

If the US has a trade deficit, doesn't that mean the US is trading make-believe pieces of paper for real goods.

Like, if I scribble on a piece of paper and then trade you the piece of paper for an incredibly engineered brand new laptop, is that bad for me? Is this a sign of my weakness?

I know economics can be complicated, and probably "it depends", but why is a trade deficit bad? Why does the Trump administration want to eliminate trade deficits?
They didn't learn from the last time, when U.S. soybean farmers got screwed (the first time) and other countries established alternate supply chains that of course didn't involve the U.S. at all.

As the USA makes itself a trade pariah and other countries forge new relationships amongst themselves, we're permanently devalued. The world will (continue to) move on without a backward-looking, unreliable, sad, and obnoxious USA.
The bit I love is that countries with which the US has a trade surplus aren't getting the opposite of a tariff (a grant, I guess) on their imports to the US, they aren't getting zero tariffs on their imports to the US, they're getting 10% tariffs.
Some states such as California have a non-partisan ballot proposition where citizens can vote directly on issues. It generally works fine, although it's not clear whether the net impact has really been positive.
Tariffs are on goods. Unless you're physically shipping software across the border it shouldn't affect you.

You mean arbitrage, and yes, that definitely happens as a result of tariffs.
These are very well built machines.

To keep them running for decades Linux or other open source operating systems are pretty much the only choice. Not only for performance (which is better) but also because Windows will phase old hardware support out, it's just what they've always done, and will always continue doing.
And now W looks like a respectable statesman by comparison. And by comparison, he is.
> people love to hate Windows, but how many of them would actually be better off if the options were just Mac (still expensive, still niche) or Linux?

I don't know, but Windows has becoming increasingly worse at everyday usage. I swear Linux has better suspend/sleep functionality now, doesn't sneaky restart randomly (yeah, just because you reopen an explorer window but none of my other, actually important programs will definitely make people notice), doesn't take a minute to react to an unlock attempt several times a day for no reason on even very performant hardware..

So yeah, I think many would be better off with Linux.

I would describe myself as a mid-level engineer with Infrastructure/Cloud and Backend experience. My current role isn't as technical as I'd like it to be so I'm looking around.
Aliexpress does that as well, with a warehouse in Hungary. They ship the products there, import them en masse as a business, then relabel and send them off to the recipients.
It is really simple to make sure your blurred css placeholder is cosmetic, and a progressive enhancement. I would know, I wrote one a month ago for my personal site.

My goal was to have something that'd transmit all the essential bits of the site in the first 14kB, and worked basically on everything. It wasn't hard, honestly.

It wasn't a particularly complex site but i guess what I'm saying is any well done (and well intentioned) implementation of blurred image placeholders will works with or without JS. That is just sound engineering...

Similar situation here, with W520.
My fantasy for Framework 16 is to have extended hinges and thick bezel available that would lift the screen further from the keyboard deck, and of course an upgraded keyboard available with longer travel and contoured keys (and better arrow key layout).

Are you listening, Nirav?

(Yes, I know it would make the laptop slightly thicker and heavier. But I just said I'm using a W520, and happy with it...)
I suppose a balance is needed. Though, when thinking about the history, I am not sure whether the Java-pushed conventions were really needed.

Most [public] podcasts are registered in Apple's podcast registry, which is what most podcast apps with a global search/discovery feature queries, and why these apps can all turn up the same podcasts. There are also things like https://podbay.fm that put give it a more general web frontend.

I suppose that the not public podcasts could be aggregated somewhere, but I'm less of a fan of that, and there's also some technical reasons why this would be more difficult than it was to aggregate these IPTV HLS streams.

Being able to view them by country or whatever is interesting, though I think perhaps less so for podcasts than something like live news, but not a bad idea
Actually I think people in traditional organized religions like Christianity are on the whole more self-aware than secular people who fall into the same religious behavior in random topics, because they acknowledge the "faith" component.

Sort of summarized by the sentence here:

"If someone is self-aware enough to consciously acknowledge their choice to remain in the bubble, that’s totally fair. I respect it like I’d respect anyone who chooses to participate in a more traditional religion. My issue is when this view is falsely passed off as an intellectually-driven one."

Most of the digital nomad hubs have the same laws with regards to worker protections and tax residency; they're just too poor to enforce them. The same is true of the workers themselves. In the 2010s I remember seeing a lot of guys bragging about having virtual assistants in the Philippines. This was probably illegal on both sides of the transaction the way that they had it set up, the issue is that the people working these jobs do not have the resources to pursue a case against a US-based employer; that's assuming they have the knowledge and motivation necessary to sue the employer in the first place. I'm not as libertarian as I once was, but these kinds of arrangements are a no-brainer; it's all of the upside of the free movement of labor with none of the downside of that labor being physically relocated.
As a EU citizen, I think this voter ID argument is absolutely insane.
This is also the start, other countries will retaliate and the current administration being the current administration will probably respond.
I look forward to the day when "good code" becomes as obvious as the best practices in some other engineering disciplines.

I like the Practical Engineering YT channel and one thing I always find interesting is learning about all the research and guidance that exists for things I never thought of. Like there are 400 page documents on how to implement drainage in dams based on decades of experience and post-mortem investigations when things went wrong.

But it feels like every time I'm involved in a software project, we're starting almost from scratch and just incrementing towards an unknown future which is "good enough". Even if you have a team of experienced developers then the Best Practices at the start of the project are not what they were 2 years prior. The tools that they used on their past projects have evolved (or been deprecated). Or maybe they're being asked to do a bunch of data engineering where they previously did full stack Web development, because org structures are fluid and many IT leaders feel that good engineers can solve any problem with code (ignoring the idea of specialisation).

This is not to disagree with your point, but more to say that a lot of the infrastructure and professional norms around classical engineering disciplines just aren't there (yet) for developers.
But will investors make any long term decision given the unreliability of the US administration? Who would invest in manufacturing in a country if the tariffs could be gone tomorrow again?
Half the voting population voted for Trump. Twice. You can't really paint it as a fringe minority.

> Americans like our plush corporate office jobs building intellectual property. We aren't oxen doing physical labor.

> So if we aren't the oxen, who is? Vietnam? And that's morally acceptable?

> Yes. They - or other poor countries - are. And it's their responsibility to grow their citizenry in a neoliberal world.

Here you clearly state that the way for vietnam to stop being oxens is by growing in a neoloberal world. Then:

> China eliminated poverty through neoliberalism. The rest of the world can, too. This is the benefit of neoliberalism

You praise China for growing this neoliberal world, but you forgot that Chineese people are still oxens.

I believe this from the White House contains the only semi official numbers:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-pr....

That has 10% across the board starting April 5th, then unspecified rates for the “worst offenders” starting April 9th.

I say “semi official” because it’s not official until US Customs and Border Patrol publishes the rates. So far I don’t think they’ve done that. Their announcements page here doesn’t have anything:

Even following all the directions is not trivial, nor is it easy to troubleshoot when something mysteriously goes wrong with what is usually a pretty vital connecting piece for most of your digital life.

Plus all the good places to host your personal domain cost money, so now people who have gotten email for 'free' for 20+ years now have to start paying a monthly email hosting bill and annual domain registration fee because some 'nerd' told them they "should"? And if they ever forget to pay either one, suddenly their email is down and their email 'identity' is at risk of being resold.

This advice is exactly like changing your own oil: Anyone with enough interest in cars and dedication to learn the steps certainly can easily do it, yet nobody should try to convince their grandparents who aren't already highly self-motivated to start doing it.

Forgive my ignorance, feel like it's embarrassing to ask here to be honest, but can someone explain how this helps/works? I've never actually used these placeholders, but I always imagined that they work by processing the image beforehand on the server and using something like a super low quality image or gradient or such as the placeholder. If this is done in pure CSS, does the browser not need to download the image first to figure out what's in it, before then doing the placeholder effect? Perhaps it doesn't help that I've not had my morning coffee yet, but I don't understand.
> It's not wrong, it's just over-simplified.

I would say if you simplify this much it becomes just plain wrong.
Congratulations Tom!

Tom (and Fenn) had rockstar status back when I was involved in university CS+Entrepreneurship clubs in Melbourne around 2009/2010 (mostly led by fine students at UniMelb, but I was helping spread the word at Monash) because they were the first(maybe one of the first?) Aussies to be accepted by YC. They always generously gave their time and advice at these student events, even dropped by the SiliconBeach networking meets to share their experiences and turned out to be exceptionally kind human beings in person. Definitely the right choice for moding this community!
No developer wants to being treated as a code monkey and I bet no PM would want to waste time watching someone type out code that they don't understand.
Count on it. Especially after Trump (AKA we the taxpayers) gave the oligopolies and monopolies huge corporate tax handouts, for which they thanked us with massive price hikes and the current "inflation."

Oh, and of course there were Trump's tax hikes on middle-class Americans to boot.

What a mind-blowing betrayal and mess.
I haven't heard penguins being deported by ICE or having their visas revoked, so I assume that at least the penguin tourism industry is still doing well in the US?

Looking forward to the retaliatory tariffs, which seems to be only language this administration understands.

I guess it will eventually be the year of FOSS software, I am only waiting for the administration going back to export restrictions in software as well.
I wonder if the fact that we're not hired to write code, is also the reason we're not paid as much as some other roles. This is my big frustration: that senior programmers (in NL at least) are not paid as much as managers, POs, various kinds of architects, and even scrum masters.

A couple of years ago, I was freelancing for a company where I wrote a lot of excellent code. They had a bunch of data they wanted to do something with, but weren't entirely sure what or how, so I did that for them. Connected, visualized it, made it fast, and they loved it. And so did I. It was fun work, I talked to a lot of people about what they wanted and needed, and delivered that.

My freelance period ended, but I wasn't ready to leave this project yet, so I became an employee, but that turned out to be a massive step back in terms of income. Despite the fact that I worked closely with lots of stakeholders and solved complex problems for them, their internal rules didn't allow them to pay me as more than a code monkey. I felt all the non-code work I did wasn't being appreciated. Nor the code work.

I left, they ruined the application (it's apparently slow as molasses now), and now I'm about to go back. I guess I've made peace with the fact that they don't pay programmers as much as I think they should. (It's not actually bad pay, just not as much as non-programmers get.) But mostly, it was a fun project that taught me a lot, and I want more of that.
It is the best outcome by preventing an even worse outcome, not for the worker of course, for the corporations and the US economy in general.
I think this is a bit unfair.

Who among us can really say they haven't gone off the deep end, burned every drop of good will that ever existed towards them and their projects, sued a competitor and got hilariously burned by the judge, all while burning hundreds of millions of your companies value (blackrock marked them down 10%, which is 750 million)

This is just a normal thing that happens. It could have happened to anyone.
Likely will result in worse products as well (which is what happens when you remove competition).

LaTam is perfect example on how bad this "wide" protectionism is. There's a ton of economic papers about it.

If you really want protectionism, you could do something more similar to how South Korea did, by choosing specific sectors of economy you want to "protect", to create a "national industry".

Most protectionist industrial policies also exempt imports of machines and other supplies used in factories.

e.g. It makes no sense to put tariffs on machines used in a factory in the USA. AS that would make it more expensive for a factory to operate if they have to import a more expensive machine from Germany. "Buy a machine from the U.S", that would mean a more expensive machine likely, as it only exists because of tariffs.

That basically means you'll have factories on best case scenario, but your cars, your computers, phones, won't be exported.

A lot of comments have already mentioned that. You can also calculate it by yourself.

For example, in 2024, the total value of US trade in goods with China was approximately $582.4 billion, comprising $143.5 billion in exports and $438.9 billion in imports. [0]

(438.9-143.5)/438.9=67.3%

Foreign debt is held in US treasuries, surely they know that? Trump can decide that treasuries can no longer be redeemed, but foreigners only hold 20% of them, so…he would have to somehow make them selectively redeemable, and anyways, there would go the USA’s credit, unless you mean other countries can bribe Trump with treasuries to bring down their tariff? They could also depreciate the USD reducing its debt in real terms but that will most definitely cause hyper inflation along with tariffs.

They have no plan, not even a concept of a plan. Trump is just hoping that he can get lucky with a good outcome, but that is really improbable. This is a huge opportunity for China though if they make deals with everyone else to the exclusion of the USA.

Even the idea of moving production back the USA is misguided, we are already at low unemployment, and haven’t made enough investments in automation like the Chinese are doing ATM. I doubt China will let us import that tech to setup our own factories quickly without worrying about who will work them.
