Comparative Advantage is trivially wrong in the real world. If a potential enemy is better at making bullets than you are, you're probably still going to make bullets rather than trading for them, because if you ever come into conflict, you don't want your supply of ammunition choked. This has real world analogues in Chinese-manufactured electrical components that go into military hardware.

From a strategic perspective, the US probably needs to onshore chip manufacturing before China's chip industry reaches parity with Taiwan's. If they don't, China could effectively blockade the island and remain unaffected, while all of its competitors are. The US would lose the initiative, and have to make a reactive decision on whether or not it wants to be in a shooting war, which is a bad place to be.

Econ 101 was nice in theory when the US had no rivals. But it does now, and a country that relies on its military and technological edge as part of its economic strategy (i.e. reserve currency status, exerting soft power through global institutions that are backed up by a credible threat of violence) can't be in a position where it gets outbuilt by its competitors.

I do, but the principal reason I didn't say that is that I had no idea it's what the commenter I replied to was referring to.

'Brexit' feels mostly completely irrelevant / not a topic of concern or debate since at least the beginning of the pandemic five years ago. The vote was almost a decade ago. 'If bdelmas thinks it's like Brexit, they could just say that', to paraphrase your own comment.
Two thirds of the Senate, only half of the House. Focusing on reversing just the tariffs is a waste of effort. The traditional ownership-class backers of the Republican party need to wake up to the reality that this bankruptcy enthusiast will only bring further destruction and ruin, start leaning on some congresscritters to buck the maggot party line, and depose this America-hating fuck. That's about the only hope of the United States being able to rebuild credibility.

What caused people to stop using the free service that is MySpace? What caused people stop using the free service that is Digg? Being free isn't particularly novel. Facebook isn't providing this service out of some sense of altruism. It is incredibly profitable.

What about the tariffs would cause people to stop using it? Because they - along with many other of the administrations postulations and policies - are incredibly unpopular and a complete 180 of US foreign trade policy. Because tech is a money printing machine for the US and tech oligarchs who have largely bent the knee to Trump.
It’s always too early, until you’ll be disappeared for saying it.

"Somewhat" being a key operand here. America is a net importer globally, a protracted trade war is inherently leveraged against us. Neither the rock nor the hard place is forcing anyone to harass our trade partners and abandon our defensive alliances.
"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" is a value statement; in the US, some folks agree with it, some do not.

Under your argument, folks who disagreed about that value statement shouldn't bother discussing criminal justice policy; I think that's erroneous and part-and-parcel of Don't Bother With Those People.

Yes, _some_ policy conversations might be futile if folks have completely opposed values, but I don't think we should apply that generally.

We MUST work with people who hold different values than us, without trying to change their values so that they become part of Us.

This feels… silly to me. Sorry, I think the idea of the project is in the right place, and the features look compelling enough that I would like to download the beta. But if you think about it for even a second, the logical conclusion of the arguments presented would be the removal of the terminal almost entirely, and at that point is it even a terminal?

Take git for example. When I was learning git I did it entirely through the command line. The first time I used a real GUI git client was the last day I ever willingly did day to day git operations in a terminal. (Outside of scripting CI/CD pipelines or something.) Isn’t this just an admission that no matter how good your terminal is, git is better accessed through a GUI?

Or look at the environ command, where the demo proudly shows editing environment variables as a table, something that Windows has supported in a real GUI since, like, Windows 7?

I think the author has a long way to go before they declare terminals dead. Here’s some ideas I would be really excited to see:

* A terminal-aware split pane file manager. One pane is a directory tree, the other is a terminal. Clicking up and down the folder automatically changes the working directory of the terminal. Double clicking an executable or script runs it in that terminal, showing the output. Actions such as moving, copying, etc are saved to history and copy-pasteable. Terminal output can be saved to a file with a toolbar button or right-click menu. Code running in the terminal can be edited using normal CUA shortcuts and you can click to select or position the cursor.

* A terminal history browser that lets you interact with previous commands and re-run them, perhaps like a Jupyter notebook. You can permanently save and re-use snippets in normal .sh format to use scripts.

* A true bash/zsh debugger that lets you step one by one through commands, set breakpoints and watches, see the state of the environment and variables, etc., all in a GUI that emulates debuggers from other paradigms.

* A git GUI that lets you record “macros” that are just bash scripts. Imagine cloning a repo, checking out a tag, creating a new branch, and applying a patch or something. Then, you could click “Save” and have that be a repeatable script that runs anywhere.

I recently moved someone's setup to Wix and was so pleasantly surprised. The old setup (put together by someone else years ago) was a security nightmare bleeding all kinds of warnings about outdated PHP and such, and was too fragile to update safely without grokking it way more deeply than anyone (me, helping these non-techy friends for free) for. I dumped all of the assets from the old site and basically remade it using wix over a few days in my spare time. Pretty easy, boatloads of features if you wish to dig into them (alas, the most complex thing we needed was a contact form), and I no longer have to worry about a bot/script kiddy using a 10 year old PHP exploit and taking it down (the biggest selling point to me). Additionally the admin app for it is pretty impressive. Lots of integrations, seo, analytic type stuff available.

It's gotta be a game changer for non-tech folks. You could really easily run a small business out of the features available.

Wrong.

Yesterday the House January 6 Committee unanimously voted to recommend that former President Donald Trump be criminally prosecuted, for charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstructing an act of Congress, and, the most serious, insurrection. A congressional criminal referral of a former president is unprecedented, and if Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Department of Justice decide to prosecute Trump, they will have to address a formidable defense: that Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, no matter how irresponsible or how full of lies about a “stolen” 2020 election, was, after all, a political speech and thus protected by the First Amendment.

Prominent legal scholars—and one lower-court judge—have rejected that argument, countering that Trump’s speech, in which he urged his supporters to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell,” was sufficiently inflammatory to permit criminal prosecution.

Here is some other ink that has been spilled on the topic as well:

So I will ask again, Do you condemn all those who called for Trumps prosecution for his Jan 6th speech?

I still call the charges and prosecution of Mahmoud Khalil as a first amendment violation, why will you not join me?

Or, do you believe that Trump incited the Jan. 6th riots? If so then the same fact pattern holds for Mahmoud Khalil.

Fun read, it reminds me a bit of Neuromancer x Universal Paperclips.
The tech industry (well frankly any industry) of the 60s-80s were different entirely. So was the way the government regulated things, and the expectations people had about corporations and their role in society.
I don't think this is quite true. Because these tariffs have been levied under the guise of a national emergency, they technically need to be confirmed by the legislature within X number of days. The House is playing tricks to not hold a vote, and I'm not sure if they need cloture in the senate, but I don't think they need 2/3 to slap the tariffs down.
It’s classic narcissist behavior - get caught with their pants down somewhere? Set somewhere else on fire so you get distracted.
> while taking most of the surplus value

Just FYI, "surplus value" refers a concept Marx made up that is considered in mainstream economics to be an error in reasoning.

Even making sense of it requires buying into the labor theory of value that Marx took from Adams and Ricardo, but which is not taken seriously anymore.

That doesn't detract from the substance of the point you're making. But it's a little like reading someone say their house is hot because of all the phlogiston. It detracts from the force of the argument.

For the past decade I've been shocked that email to sms was still allowed. sure, there are some legitimate organizations that have been using this route to avoid cost. But the whole idea is that if it's not worth 1 penny to send this message, then sms probably isn't the right channel.

Yeah, sorry, I was being snarky. I think I was reacting because your original question just seemed naive ....

How do you expect you could affect taxation rules by discussing what other nations do, or fairness?

Especially assuming you are dealing with front-line staff.

Should you want to change taxation laws then you have to be able to argue for your need against other needs (parents with criminal children, parents with psych problem children, parents with sick children, parents with drug abusing children yadda yadda yadda).

I can only think of two options:

1: there is an art to getting the most out of government service workers. They can help you learn available rules and sometimes they can choose to bend rules in your favour. I don't have the skill but you can tell when someone has it: they get helped more than the average person. I'm not sure how one might learn that art. I'm not sure how you could find people that already have the art, who might help you. A few people are good at hacking around government rules and systems - but they are rare (and I'm very unsure how learnable the skill of working around rule systems is).

2: just deal with it yourselves. Whenever I see a parent dealing with the excessive costs, they rarely get much external help (mostly just parental help).

I know multiple parents with autistic (or similarly outlier children) from 3yr old to 45yr old. In New Zealand parents get some help in some areas but unfairly it seems the parents have to shoulder the majority of the costs and time.

The above doesn't seem helpful - and clearly I'm no expert - but I figure you've asked and I'll share my ignorant opinion.

Good luck. The windows sound frightening.
It’s even better - the lack of evidence is apparently evidence they are even more dangerous than those who they have evidence on.
True, I was thinking more about how silly the tariff rates are given the relative trade imbalance.
Are you pretty young? The narrative when it was happening was pretty catastrophic. I remember reading about people not being able to get prescriptions, for example, because no one knew how imports worked.

I don't know how things panned out, but the discussions in the early days around Brexit were absolutely on par or even worse than what we're seeing in these two days of discussions around tariffs.
Aren't these kinds of services already largely banned in China?

> everyone agrees that it's good for a country to export lots of stuff

Not if you want to avoid escalation of a trade war.

If you know that the US is pissed off because you're hoarding dollars because its the reserve currency and its causing the USD to rise too high, leading to their decline in manufacturing competitiveness, then you can solve their problem for them by adding an export tariff. It will make them more competitive. But that way, you get the revenues from the tariff rather than the US. Adding your own import tariffs makes the trade balance worse. Its like the person you're negotiating with is complaining about a knife and you decide to twist it rather than remove it. A 50/50 split of export and import tariffs would mean that both countries can take a cut, the USD can maintain reserve status, and US manufacturing can stay competitive despite a stronger dollar. The fact that noone is doing this means that either they haven't considered it or they aren't happy with this outcome(probably the latter, but you never know...)
National stock market is owned by people, but the national debt is owned (and has to be payed) by the government. Basically, the government is just milking the reach now to lower gov's national debt. Poorer people rather win from this (even if no manufacturers come to U.S. to avoid tariff barriers, which some manufacturers will and which will be another small benefit for the poorer (more jobs)).

How do you track and save these numbers? Manually or programmatically?
The filibuster rule is determined by the senate itself, and could have been neutered at any point. The gridlock is a conscious choice of the senate majority.
I’ve had a similar feeling lately after deciding to dust off some old textbooks and brush up on my math.
I don’t expect Trump to make sane or rational decisions. But can anyone explain why the GOP senate is just standing by? Surely they are getting hit on the effects of the tariffs like everyone else. Doesn’t compute.
Your level of paranoia and aggression will vary depending on how hawkish you are. If you’re more hawkish you’ll be more aggressive and make your move as early as possible, and you’ll also tolerate a lot more pain to achieve your goal. Bessent seems pretty determined.

I do think it’s clear that our industrial capacities have eroded. Look at our infrastructure compared to China. We lag on every metric: transportation initiatives, building projects, solar production, new energy plants, and so on. Manufacturing is just 1/10th of the “full stack”.

I’m not making any political commentary as to whether tariffs are the right move or not, I’m only explaining the line of reasoning.
> It’s because it’s been withdrawn from the commons and buried behind closed doors.

That happened in the 80s. This is not a new sensation in England, just a worsening one.
You've completely ignored what I wrote. The formula the white house used to set tariffs would result in lower tariffs for Canada and Mexico. If both countries were included in the formula Trump would have to cut announced tariffs on both countries.

Do you dispute this? It's trivial to calculate.
The covid response of printing trillions of dollars and other currencies around the world meant that there was way more money and it had to end up somewhere.

There's just way more money to invest than there are productive companies to invest in. So you get crazy P/E ratios in the best bets available.

The "fix" is to inflate that money away (or maybe to tax it and pay down deficits?) but it's not an easy monetary policy or a familiar one.
Only if he tries to get a 3rd term by a fair election. The more realistic way to it happening is by hijacking the electoral process. There are a number of ways to do this, such as by claiming there was fraud and thereby having the justification to modify how "electors" [0] should cast their vote. This is exactly what was tried in the 2020 election.

Really, it's just an "if enough people in power and in general go along with it, then it works" kind of thing. The current trend in the GOP is to whip and/or expel those who do not fully support Trump. What happens if half of the elected politicians, most of their constituents, and most of the appointed government officials, decide that Trump is staying in office? No one knows. The power of words on paper only goes as far as people let it.

We are not at the stage where AI can replace graduates. No where near. I worked with an intern recently and it was a pleasure. The quality was excellent. An AI couldn't do what they did. In particular it cannot be accountable or really learn anything. Beyond adding more instructions but that is not tacit knowledge. That is like giving a run book to an idiot who doesn't have experience and may or may not understand it.

You seem like a level headed dood and we seem to agree that their current strategy is incomprehensible apparently to both supporters and non-supporters alike.

You mentioned he delivered/will deliver on roughly 60% of the things you were looking for.

Do you draw the line somewhere and say, even if I get 60% of things I want, the other 40% could be/are a real dealbreaker ?

It's a very common thing for politicians to deliver on some things that are inconsequential while pursuing their own private agenda for other things.

In my home country there's a saying about politicians: He stole, but he also delivered. The social contract is that as long as the politician does 10% common good, (usually highly visible, populist, short term stuff) he can pursue his own interests be they short term, or long term, even if they are detrimental to the society as a whole - as long as he delivered some short term results.

Sure, but I'm going to put it to you that on encountering poor people the proper response isn't for your asshole to pucker and then to start reliving old traumas. That seems like a pretty wild response.

It is a reasonable response to high-crime areas, and it is unusual for the wealthiest parts of a city to be high-crime areas. But an area being less affluent doesn't make an area high-crime.
