Is it possible the Newsweek list is wrong?

The EO and Annexes are not on the Federal Register website yet but on the Whitehouse website it has EO[1] and Annex I[2] and Annex II[3].

I do not see Russia or Ukraine mentioned in any of those so I would assume both get the base "10 percent" under section 2/3.

Yeah, I know of turtling because we used to do it ourselves! Have a pact that you can't attack in the start, then build an impenetrable city until there are basically no more resources left and then fight it off with having 10 castles and barracks and stables mass-producing units right to the front.
Did it have fun though?
Because there was a shift to shareholder capitalism. Everything is done to increase shareholder value.
When the history is written I think the Citizens United decision might be pegged as the end of the American republic. It allowed endless amounts of dark money including foreign money to pour into US elections.

In any case, I think we're seeing the beginning of the Chinese century.
None of that is true. Doctors generally treat whoever comes to them, and sometimes may refuse to treat desperately sick people (see women who died in the US because doctors refuse to treat them after a miscarriage). Teachers teach whoever is in their class. You don’t need to have committed a crime to require a lawyer, even something as simple as writing a contract applies.

But even if what you claimed had made any sense, it would still have been completely irrelevant and added nothing to the conversation.
I have a relatively high-end desktop with a nice monitor. I also have an aging laptop with a tiny screen and an anemic amount of RAM. Most of my computing ends up being done on the laptop.

With a family and a kid, it turns out I’d prefer to spend most of my time at the computer in common spaces; at the dinner table, on the couch, etc. so that I’m present and available for my family. This is far better than squirreling myself away in a room.

(Note that for work, I have a different computer, I’m talking about for life outside of work.)
Making Quantum Flytrap a polyglot with AI vibe translating
This article makes many valid points, but it’s important to remember 10%~ of devs are system developers(OS, compilers, firmware, database kernels etc.) For these jobs, the code itself often IS the core product. Correctness, stability, and compatibility come first, therefore the ‘out with the old and in with the new’ mentality is much less prevalent.

Comparing that last list of countries, I do not think any has as strong protection of free speech as the US has. On the other hand the UK seems to be a LOT less racist - I think the other countries are some where in between the US and the UK.
> which is the kind of opportunity that doesn't usually come around twice.

On the contrary, it most definitely did come around twice (hence the 2), and those same geographic advantages are still at play, barring thermonuclear war. It wasn't pure chance that Europe combusted in WW2, Europe had been on fire off and on for hundreds of years. Its geography just lends itself to large scale conflict.

The recent period of peace is an exception, but it's not the first exception and there's good reason to suppose this one won't last forever either.
> Right now Europe's own companies just ignore the statutes to keep their US trade.

If it’s the trade keeping EU companies in line, isn’t the destruction of trade that these tariffs are intended to achieve precisely the kind of thing that will then prevent them from staying in line in the future?
Wow, great article.

I’ve lost respect for so many people because they couldn’t temper their political views. I wish more articles of this kind were published.
Thing is that people are entitled to have different opinions and we can argue about those all day. But people are not entitled to different facts, and if someone pretends 2+2=5, then there's very little arguing about that. It's not that I'm too tired to argue, but if someone is so far out of the common ground, there's no basis on which it makes sense to argue because they'll just declare all of your premises void and "win".
It's not surprising that people who love AI and NFTs are willfully ignorant about what makes art meaningful. It's a sadly transactional view of the world.
I find the most productive political discussions are about history. Most people don’t know any history at all, so a willingness to discuss the reason we have the Third Amendment, or the lasting effects of King Leopold’s dominion in Africa, or the Peleponnesian War, makes for a good discussion, and the distance makes people less emotionally tied to their positions and more willing to accept nuance. If we find we disagree, this also gives us social cover to pretend the topic isn’t intensely relevant to the present day.
I would hope with all that mass to orbit you can also work on space debris cleanup. For example using lasers somehow.

Want to bet that Trump's argument for a third term hinges on the US being in a recession/depression and needing him to see the economy through the struggles?
I was thinking more along the lines that "crisis crisis" which would describe a situation where the world didn't have enough crisises. A situation described as being a crisis lack of crisises. ;)
The fact that this modern "art" needs to be subsidized by the people that actually works with their taxes, is all the argument needed to tell you that indeed this is nothing more than fake intellectualism.

I'm not missing on absolutely anything by not appreciating a banana glued to a wall. In fact, nobody really appreciates that, it's just a bunch of sycophants pretending they have some artistic knowledge the rest of us, the poor populace, lack, that go on pretending with the charade.

The rest of the world, are just willing to tell you that the emperor has no clothes.
It's only as inevitable as the current voting system. If it changed to some kind of ranked choice, new parties would quickly gain representation.

Being friends with someone doesn't mean we both should agree on everything. It also doesn't mean we should try to avoid discussing whatever. If we agree on something, good. If someone is changing his opinion bases on a talk and arguments, good. If not, also good.

I am friend with someone because I like that someone and I enjoy meeting him and talking to him, doing things together.

That doesn't mean agreeing on everything. And doesn't mean being afraid of speaking.

If someone quits, being my friend because we have different opinions on X, so be it. I am not like that. I won't break a friendship because someone thinks differently.

If you've got linux on it have you tried enabling zram? I use it with aggressive settings on my X1 Carbon G6 with 8GB of RAM and it effectively gives me somewhere around 15GB of RAM. It does need a reasonably fast CPU, but probably worth trying on the Gen 1.
It’s not “irrational.” It’s crude, but it’s based on a logic that, on average, trade deficits should generally reduce to zero. And I strongly suspect this is about our large, diversified trade partners (EU, China) and is simply being imposed across the board for appearances.
I will solve this for you so you can worry about other things like the obsolescence of humanity and killer drones/bots.

In 200 years, we will have tamed the ability to generate energy efficiently and have relatively intelligent drones. These drones in swarms can track space debris, match their horizontal speed and push them out to outer space. Space debris will not be an issue. Maybe they can also take little bubbles of greenhouse gases and drop them out into space too.
I've sent you a line on LinkedIn.
> What's the plan for that?

Trump ran on a campaign that voting is a pain and you won't have to do it again if he wins. Since then he's maintained that third term is the plan. Doesn't really matter how upset the voting population is if you're going to ignore their votes.
There might be very little alignment of political opinions within one's circle of friends, and any discussion would turn into an unpleasant discussion with the risk of ending the group of friends forever.

For most people, very few friendships form with an expectation of political agreement: activists met at a common protest or campaign, generic regulars of a popular political party or union, old style secret societies, and so on.
Damn, you're absolutely right. The aerodynamics alone kills this idea.
I'd bet there is a very wide gray zone between the current situation, and a "planetsized wall of debris", which badly damaged SpaceX's bottom line.

And, in much of that gray zone, SpaceX could be the very profitable leader in a booming market for launching all the replacement satellites, heavier collision-"resistant" satellites, and debris-sweeping satellites.
Show HN: GitHub Action for Vercel deployments without deployment_status events
I built a GitHub Action that solves a common pain point in CI/CD pipelines with Vercel deployments. Instead of relying on GitHub's deployment_status events, it actively polls Vercel's API to ensure deployments are truly ready before running tests or other checks.

Key technical features:
- Direct integration with Vercel's API for real-time deployment status
- Configurable polling with timeout and interval settings
- Support for team projects and branch aliases
- Works with both preview and production deployments
- No special webhook configuration needed

The main advantage is reliability: Many CI pipelines fail intermittently because they start running tests before Vercel deployments are actually ready. Traditional solutions rely on GitHub's deployment_status events, which can be unreliable or require complex setup.

This action solves that by:
1. Retrieving the latest deployment for your project/branch
2. Extracting the preview/production URL
3. Actively polling until the deployment is genuinely ready

Example use cases:
- Running E2E tests against preview deployments
- Multi-app testing workflows
- Post-production deployment validation
- Accessibility testing on live environments

GitHub repo: https://github.com/RoyBkker/github-action-vercel-preview-url...

I'd love feedback from the HN community, especially from those dealing with similar CI/CD challenges.
Sure, you're not wrong. But a circle is just an arc of length 2pi * radius.
It was normal and Germany/Prussia was good at it.
Look at Atlantic City. Trump (among others) did that to that city. That is what the US will become. It is heart breaking.
Between three and five members of the EU could become nuclear powers complete with delivery systems within a year if there was political will. A couple of them in significantly less than a year. If the EU is truly responsible for its own defense, then it gets to choose how to go about that. There is only one way to do that in the time frame in which it will become necessary.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this reply. I found it very useful and reassuring.

> If that is the case you have to learn to let it go.

Yeah I totally agree. I'm hoping councilling sessions, CBT and journalling will help to reinforce this attitude. And thank you for the jounalling prompts. I've jotted them down and will be trying them over the next few weeks.

Funny you mentioned music, I just started learning and it has been great fun. I agree about finding something to obsess about that makes you happy.

Thank you once again!
If I had to travel I would just FedEx things to myself at the destination. I like to travel light.

Call ahead to the hotel one is staying at and arrange for the box to show up with the instructions that if travel plans change they are to open the box. Inside will be another box with a FedEx label that returns the box to its origin. Attach a page on the inner box that explains this as well. Sometimes communication is poor at hotels among staff. Attach a coffee gift card to the note on the inside and annotate the card is for whomever is shipping the box back to its origin.
Also, present day politics is in many cases determined by history.

This doesn't come as a surprise as we all know it's going to come.

My question is, how does the US prepare to re-industrialize itself? Is the tariff good enough to provide incentives so that factories start to appear domestically? I fear this might not be the case.

Oddly enough, Bach's BWV 639 is one of my favourite (organ) pieces. But it appears to be just a coincidence, since the length was decided as the number of years since the construction of the first organ in Halberstadt to the new millennium.

Eh, this worries me less. I mean ideally yes trade signatures have value but we all know the reality here is that strong nations don't feel bound by international law.

I don't think "reputational harm" exists in international relations. I do think the terms of future bilateral negotiations may be less favourable to the US for a while but if they are too iniquitous they won't get ratified in Congress.

Maybe some significant 20+ year investment choices redirect. Some future 56th president will complain 47 laid the seed of this disadvantage. In every other respect after the noisy bit is over people do what they do.

Absolutely with you on the abuse of LLMs. I'm deeply concerned about loss of competence and I am so burned out from having to deal with other people's messy and overly complex code.

I think people who think about this like us need to start building resilience for the very real possibility that in a couple of years we'll be the ones dealing with these awful LLM-generated code bases, fixing bad logic and bugs.
It probably already exists and I just can’t find it, but there’s some kind of law here about how some actions are so insane that they compel people to invent elaborate explanations to avoid the discomfort of recognizing insanity.

Right and wrong. Right if it increases aggregate demand more than available economic production thus leading to inflation.

But if we overall had capacity to tame in the added UBI, then no. Unlike targeted subsidies like EVs, UBI is do much better. Each industry is still competing with other industries

From the people in my life who talked about their preference for this administration, the economy was the core reason I heard. Specifically interest rates, but ignoring that that’s the federal reserve and the president has no impact on that.

Whatever - all that said, I can’t imagine this leads to an economic boom or anything near it by the midterms. Are the republicans going to lose midterms if the economy is shit? I’m not sure, but I can’t imagine this works out well. I’m no economist though, so what do I know.

The Ableton project format is fairly simple (compared to what it could have been at least), anyone tried just throwing the XML from there at a LLM model and see if they could edit them "raw"?
> "they have no idea what's coming" are I believe naive.

There could be someone who understands this. But this someone never shows their face in public, or provides any rationale for the policies beyond the nonsense like "reciprocal tariffs" or similar nonsense. I mean the literal board with tariff percentages that was held up had numbers that made NO sense, to anyone! Yet there are no critical questions?

It's beginning to feel like a conspiracy theory. That behind the obvious idiots who are the faces of the policies, are some other, less inept people who are pulling the strings. But who would this be?

> they expect the coming storm because they seek what follows.

If there are elections in 2026 and 2030 then what follows is a blue wave in the midterms and millions of disappointed voters who had their 401k's gutted, saw prices of most goods increase 10%+ in 2 years, saw little to no tax cuts, lost their jobs if they worked for the government, and lost their social security.
If/When it becomes a real crisis, I'm sure other countries with nascent space industries will then be asked to limit their launches to avoid space debris and when they occasionally launch a satellite you can bet there will be debates and articles about how they are the ones contributing to space debris.

Most formulas made of fancy LaTeX symbols you find in math papers aren't a formal language either. They usually can't be mechanically translated via some parser to an actual formal language like Python or Lean. You would need an advanced LLM for that. But they (the LaTeX formulas) are still more precise than most natural language. I assume something similar is the case with legalese.

I think this is already happening. OVH built a datacenter in Canada, close to a big dam, so they could get access to cheap electricity and a lot of it.

This is just one example, but I would be surprised if that wasn't a consideration in more datacenter placements.

The problem of course is to find a place where electricity is abundant, but you also have easy access to the large fiber backbone network.
If you have a lot of traffic, fibers aren't cheap, especially interconnecting them with others.

There are both hard and soft reasons for this.

Hard reason: Oil was traded in U.S. dollars. This was basically built off America’s status as the only open superpower and its military strength.

Soft reasons: U.S. political stability (yeah, it’s hard to understand that now after the past decade, but generally the U.S. has been extremely politically stable with Presidents largely maintaining their predecessors foreign policy even if they didn’t agree with them), US company culture which is much cleaner than the rest of the world (American companies are far less likely to bribe, for example), and strong financial institutions like the independent Fed and the publishing of reliable and open data.
