Not to mention these are blanket tariffs, not protecting specific American industries. So anything that's not feasibly produced here will be more expensive anyway.

Yes everybody, we are taxing all of your groceries - but all of those American coffee and banana farms (!) will be protected.
No, it does not mean anything. Different people from the same side of the political spectrum define it differently, let alone different parts of the spectrum. If you don't define it before using it, it's a dog-whistle, full stop.
The article is a neat read! The design of the blog itself is even more interesting. I don't love the right-aligned way it starts, but I love the inline activations of the left popup! So cool
I don’t know bud, but when I work with diet and nutrition, I feel like I owe users accuracy more than I deserve feedback. Maybe we have a different sense of ethics.
> Second, people are not good at separating problem from implementation. in fact, people are horrible at this. I think people have a very difficult time envisioning that the problem and the existing solution implementation (which itself might be making the problem worse) are separate things. so most people rarely consider and often actively oppose, radically different solutions.

I'm bouncing back and forth on this. One thing I've learned over nearly two decades of programming, is that problems often are not separate from implementation - the one often defines or shapes the other to a large degree. Moreover, often enough it's not worth it to aim for clean separation - that's the road to becoming an "architecture astronaut".

I've also noticed this generalizes outside of programming. The key insight being, when people accuse "techies" of being "know-it-alls" and coming up with simplistic solutions (or my pet peeve of a term, "technological solutions to social problems"), what they're complaining about is generalizations - the kind you get when you focus on the abstract problem and forget about implementation details. This is particularly notable when one then tries to transfer a general solution/framework from one problem space to another, because whether or not it applies is largely determined by implementation details.

An example: understanding exponential growth and connecting it with basic virology is good. Applying that model to virological problems is okay - but the devil's in the details. Transferring that model to something else by means of analogy? Well, that very much depends on which assumptions you borrowed from virology, and it's helpful to be aware of those assumptions (implementation details) in the first place.

Seen plenty of that on every side of argument during COVID.
Yes, that's fine. But if the acute cause is not consumer demand, raising interest rates won't do anything.

(Note: a sibling comment suggests that it "doesn't matter", because if you slow the economy enough, you'll offset the artificial "inflation" due to tariffs. Maybe so. But that would be cutting off your arm to treat a paper cut.)
Convoluted and unreasonable workarounds for a growing police state.

OpenFoodFacts is a huge inspiration to this project, obviously. However, as someone with a normal diet, OFF lacks:

1. Generic, non-branded foods

2. Simple prepared foods that ease food entry

3. Restaurant foods

4. Micronutrients beyond those reported by the brand.

OFF is a fantastic project but OpenNutrition is really trying to fit a different niche. OFF does what it does very well; I would never be able to use it to track my food intake.
He didn't add sanctions on Russia, but on people dealing with Russia - that's a different thing.

But notice how people talk now - Trump might say he is "planning" something against Russia and people take it as a proof that he is not an asset. They forget about concept of sacrificing something to gain advantage. If heat turns to much on Trump, they might let him disrupt something and then run propaganda that Trump isn't bent. Until he makes next move massively benefitting Putin.

Seems like they can be doing this over and over and general public will see it as Trump just navigating difficult geopolitical landscape and that we should "trust the process". etc.
Yes, but only later and only for the Model Y. The irony is that the most popular model, the Model 3, is manufactured in China, across the red sea (houti’s!) to West Europe.

EU has signed up to lucrative trade deals with Canada and Mexico since Brexit and has many more similar ones with other Asian countries. International trade is complicated and it is very much something the EU specialises in.
Good question.

Right now we run some ML models to check for illegal content and then respond immediately with the ban hammer.

We also monitor content published on our platform with some admin tools we built.
Oh, like that! Yeah, fully agree. This is one of the reasons the conspiracy theory "they both answer to the same group of overlords" is so big. I still wish I lived in America, though.
Yeah cause those are already sanctioned...
Hard for me to believe that even with a surplus of domestic production that comparative advantage of importing still wouldn't be better.
How about a higher income tax or 1% wealth tax?
I know there is a crowd that talks about debt alot and these are all legitimate concerns

However they could also raise taxes on capital gains and top end income brackets - which are at ludicrously low levels for folks of significant wealth - which would go a very long way here. Some estimates suggest it could put the US back in a surplus quite quickly

edit: I'm saying there is an argument for raising taxes. I don't think its off the table like some people suggest. I know it may not be popular with some but we could discuss the merits.

As someone who started it's career in a thinkpad only shop

Indeed, old thinkpads were designed to survive a coffee spill on the keyboard and they did, and various drops (with spinning rust as storage and cfl backed screens)

And when you achieve to break some part, it can be easily swapped.
Oh and the documentation for that is available and very detailed.
This is very different from “lay-diagnosing” every introvert kid as autistic and every jittery kid as having ADHD.

There’s _a lot_ of reliable material from his direct actions over the years to accounts from people who’ve worked or dealed otherwise with him closely.

There’s more than enough of it to make it possible to fill in a DSM-5 questionnaire and see what the outcome is.

I clicked, thinking that it was perhaps someone who like me was annoyed by Jira's anchors/permalinks which is a <span> with a <button> with a JS event listener on click to load what would normally be an <a href> into the DOM.

But this, this is similar, but different. I can't navigate to anchors with for example the keyboard.

Question for the author: Why not use the HTML <a> element rather than a JS event listener on a non-interactive element?
Oh I didn't realize we had donkeys powering this organ 24/7 for 600 years.
Sorry, I’m not an expert in the field, but are computerized projections not the norm in disease spread modeling?

I don’t really feel like continuing this argument, so the last thing I’ll say is that I don’t know how else experts are supposed to have made decisions at the time. Makeshift morgues were opening to handle the overflow of bodies. They acted on the evidence they had at the time, and readjusted recommendations as new evidence came to light. This is part of why social distancing protocols changed so much during the first year of the pandemic.

I think you can look at UX like this less like a web page and more like a presentation. In that framing it's more palatable.

In general we consume blogs more like traditional web pages, so it feels ... "wrong," but in some ways it keeps all of the content at hand and lets you navigate linearly or back and forth pretty reasonably, the way you might traverse a PPT.
According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, there are 7 million unemployed in the U.S. currently.

I don't know how you expect these to cover for all the manufacturing you imply might come back to the U.S. with these tariffs, and that's assuming the space and the production means (factories, etc.) are here already. They aren't, and not for a couple years.

Combined to the fact that the U.S. is clearly sending a signal that coming there is dangerous now, especially for any other category than white males, and I don't see how you can even imagine that this situation is going to be working out.
Good luck with changing human nature, i.e. persuading managers to voluntarily act against their own self-interest. That’s just not how people work.

What you say is true in some cases, but not in all cases.
To be fair, I went IBM -> Apple -> Lenovo, so it is conceivable that the track point is actually as good as it ever was, and I just got spoiled by how good the Apple trackpads are.

Interesting solution. One little tip, I would advise picking a different heading for the section "The final solution". That phrase has a bit of unfortunate historical baggage.
Startup Says It Can Clean Your Blood of Microplastics

The strawmanning of arguments from both sides is so intense that most people lay in a bed composed entirely of strawman arguments. I firmly blame the media above all for this, but individuals carry a burden to for not trying to remake their bed.

It took me 15 years to to remake my bed into somewhat rational arguments, and still I find lots of hay in there. Generally both sides, or all sides really, want the same things and disagree on how to get there. And the truth is there is almost never an obvious or clear way to get there. It's fractal pros and cons all the way down.

No musical performance is ever a 100% literal translation of the score. That’s pretty much impossible for any work. A score is not a set of MIDI instructions and a performer is not a sound card.

This post is wild because “what is the point of this” seems to be complexly divorced from the human drive to create and express one’s self.
It's not up to you guys to say we "do not even understand". It's too handwavy and a false premise. We could argue the same... you guys "don't understand" how much bullshit there is in contemporary art to the point it's basically noise at this point.

If anything those Tunisian folks would have to reduce the price to compete. The tariffs go straight to the US coffers at the customs, nothing to do with the farmers.

Don't crypto advocates claim it needs nothing at all from government?

What's the basis of unlawful? What contract is controlling these concepts and their adjudication?
I agree the term is vague. But what then would you have us call it? The whole, constitutional crisis, outright flouting of the rule of law, suspension of due process/disappearing of political enemies in the streets type thing that is verifiably happening right now. Are you requesting that the word fascism be banned from HN? Have you seen the videos of legal college students being shoved into unmarked vans by unmarked and masked officers of the law? What do you call that? The talk of a third term?

I'd love to say, "he's just blustering", it's what my father said but he's enacted just about every thing he said. Should he begin speaking about a third term i don't think we have the luxury to ignore that anymore. To annex our nearby "allies" who've now become a united front opposing any economic relationship. What is that called? What would you have us say?
Yes. 12% cut from Epic, and I believe certain UE fees are waived if you release on EGS.

For UDK: they did get a lot better with that for UE4/5. These days, the first million dollars in that project's revenue has no cut, and after that it's a 5% royalties (there's also mandatory $1850 subscription seats per year if you have over a million gross revenue a year).

It's about as indie friendly as you can be for such an everpresent tool.

I'm a huge Thinkpad fan. I'm an even bigger MacBook fan.

None of my MacBook Pros ever had any issues, and I used my last MacBook for 9 years. I could keep using it with Linux instead of MacOS, but I think almost a decade of use is plenty of value for me.

There were recalls and scandals with the MacBook Pro over the years, but nothing that other vendors also didn't see, and that wouldn't have required the same exact parts being replaced. I'm thinking of the GPU issues with certain MacBooks. The difference is Apple is usually able to be held to task to fix issues, while almost any other vendor did not care to stand behind their product, including Lenovo.

I had a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon with the HiDPI screen that was absolutely awful, requiring replacement multiple times. Each time, the moron from Unisys that Lenovo sent to do the on-site repair would return me with a laptop that was poorly reassembled, and with new problems due to the tech's ineptitude. The same dude did service for Lenovo servers, and he once dropped a server that needed a fan replaced on the floor. Talk about fragile.

Thinkpads are great, and the oldest ones are still solid to use, but to say that MacBooks are fragile ignores that Thinkpads too are fragile.

It's been argued a lot that such a move would cause a good portion of American billionaires to just pack up and move to another country. Rich people are mobile in a way that poor people are not.
> It's not clear if these placeholders do actually help

Well, it depends what you mean by help. It’s very dependent on use case and desired UX. Obviously you can prevent layout shifts without them, you can provide feedback on loading status in other ways, and ensure images don’t slow load time without colored placeholders. But they can provide a pleasant UX for some use cases, when done right. They can be annoying when not done well.
Speaking of words having meanings, what exactly do you mean by dog-whistle here? I understand dog-whistle to mean coded language for a different concept.
Have you looked at EU countries budgets? We "invest" in social security and public health systems. Our defense budgets go in large part to buy arms from the US, and Musk complains if we decide to prop up Arianespace for some defense satellites while threatening to cutoff Starlink for Ukraine paid by Poland. Have you looked at how much money your DoD sends abroad (and how much of it is pork)? You're literally telling us to be more protectionist, and then expect something different.
Ouch, thanks for the heads up
Sure, no tricks required, other than:

- selecting 1 out 100 possible Linux variants, an effortless task for the average computer user

- creating a hard drive partition, mere child's play

- creating a USB image, booting from that USB, installing to the blank partition

- and then loading the desktop environment, where immediately the audio drivers, wireless cards/NICs don't work and battery life is cut in half.
Hm, is that perhaps how you feel about all billionaires? Can you name one you think is "good"?

I've made some money in the space, have kids and a family, and care deeply about special needs and access (partner is a former SpEd teacher, I've volunteered and donate to related causes), and have invested heavily in reproductive rights. Does that make me "good"?

In my experience, and by my values, there are plenty of good and neutral people in the space. They aren't often the ones that ham it up for the media, but it should be obvious why that is.
Besides the sanctions, the G7+EU hold something around 300 billion $ of funds so far owned by the Ruzzian central bank. Not enough to rebuild Ukraine, but it will be a decent start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiscation_of_Russian_centra...

It's certainly not worth it. I don't think that, for laptops, RAM requirements are increasing nearly as fast as they did 10 years ago. I spec 64GB for my laptops today, and if I could have afforded it, I would have specced 64GB 10 years ago too.
Which is why we're sadly only really going to get it if a major manufacturer decides to go Framework on us, because otherwise the economies of scale just aren't there.

Or laptops get so uncommon that manufacturers have to band together and agree on standards.
calling 50% tarrifs on all of easy Asia is hardly a paper cut. it's more breaking someone's ribs while giving them CPR

FWIW, the alternative to "liberal hegemony" in places like Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and Syria is nuclear proliferation and human rights abuses. Between the window of Mearsheimer and Chomsky we see a pretty clear-cut obligation to protect our trade partners. We invoked Article 5 of NATO to fight a war on "terror" with the lives of other countries ken, now we're unwilling to even consider their own security?

This isn't a path of conservative rectification, America isn't going to make itself less reliant on partners like Taiwan or more attractive than cheaper alternatives like China. We aren't going to fight less wars as a result, we aren't going to somehow create international demand for our goods while pricing them out of reach for most consumers. I don't know what to tell you here - Trump is far from my worst nightmare but it's plain to see that this will give America's faith-based economy a seizure.
For Beyond All Reason, it seems the Spring/Recoil engine will eventually decide to "close the action window", so that if one player is lagging hard, they simply submitted no actions for that "round" and the rest of the players keep going.

I know because I've gotten to the point in the late game where my computer can't simulate at realtime, and I can no longer control my units, but everyone else keeps playing.

Conveniently you can even still sort of chat in this state, and ask a teammate to assume control of your army on your behalf.
> That’s weird because you can live life of total ignorance of what’s happening in the news.

Being unaware of politics, just like being unaware of biology or physics, doesn't reduce or disprove the degree to which it impacts your life, it just recuces your understanding.
Capitalist-anarchists are certainly opposed to tariffs - after all, tariffs are just taxes that expand government influence. Protectionism is a left-wing, big-government policy.

Sounds like you're in favor of a version of blurry placeholders that's implemented in less than 1KB of CSS.

They are just checking to which group you belong, not verifying your adherence? It does not seem like a question you ask someone whose you know politics already.

I'm sorry but anything that hijacks the scrollbar in any way is just a no-go. You have to not interfere with scrolling. (Taking some other action on the page during scrolling can be okay, but actually affecting the scrolling itself in any way while you are scrolling should be verboten, in my opinion.)
