You still haven't pointed out a single thing the judge got wrong, and literally just relied on a bare assertion of your feelings about how it went later, which is, of course, almost totally irrelevant to whether it was fair at the time of purchase

Companies eventually failing does not mean they were bad deals at the time (or even a bad deal later). Not everything succeeds.
The question is not "did anyone successfully predict the future" or even "was it a good thing to buy" but instead "was it a fair price and a fair deal at the time they bought it". So i have no idea why you keep bringing up what happened later as it it's relevant at all, and won't tell anyone why you think it's relevant to the past.

Given you refuse to read and cite a single thing that the judge actually got wrong and keep citing the end of solar city as if this somehow changes the past about whether it was fair deal for a fair price at the time, it's hard to believe you are really doing this in good faith, so i'm out.

(FWIW - i was the first solarcity customer in maryland, and given my experience i certainly have no love for them, but you aren't presenting any coherent argument here)
I worked at middle-sized company that instituted a pay cuts, cutting all bonuses and stopping raises.
After year, company lost almost every person in tech managenent and most of team leaders, their clients actively executing forking rights and no one believes in company future now.

I once heard wise words from some CEO. In harsh times, clients do not want cheaper and worse services from us. They want less services. So we are moving out headcount down, while keeping pay and even execute raises for those who stay.
Two typical scenarios that we know from the past in industries like cars for example.

Corp one has two factories one smaller one in the us one bigger one in the eu. They will now shift more of the production to the us from eu to avoid tariffs.

Corp two only has a factory in the eu. They will now build another factory in the us to be able to avoid tariffs and keep selling their goods at competitive prices.
My home was burned to the ground by a fire started by a charging electric skateboard. Well engineered battery systems, like an EV or a name-brand phone, are very safe, but these NMC cells are extremely volatile, and large packs cannot be extinguished once in runaway. I'm very glad the OP has this setup in a separate shed.

They can be deterministic but I think you might be confused about the kind of game

In RTS games like 0AD or AoE you don't just send a single huge unit to attack and wait for the result, you send many tens of individual units near enemy units, then the "battle" goes on in real time and you can micromanage units to influence the outcome. You can't just simulate it on the server because the server can't simulate the thought process of the players
So approximately nothing?
Yeah but we Europeans told you for decades that your presidency is dangerously overpowered. Guess some things you have to find out yourself.
The trade deficit the US has with those countries, or the surplus they have with the US, as a percentage of the country's total exports to the US.

It's an incredibly simplistic calculation that definitely doesn't equate to the country's tariff rate.
I would love to get a ThinkPad as my next computer. My 2018 MacBook Pro is still working amazingly well, but I think I won't get a new one.
I really hope they get there though. The idea of a modern, repairable, modular laptop that doesn't lock you into a walled garden is incredibly appealing
Wouldn't that only be true if the vote thresholds are absolute? If the impact of a vote is adjusted based on voters present, it should scale.
You need an ID to do basic tasks in USA as well, everyone with a normal life has them.
The attempts to force a mineral deal on to Ukraine, and also the attempts to get hold of Greenland, start to make sense if you assume that the Trump administration is preparing for a permanent global trade war.
Higher costs for mineral imports would hurt the US economy the most.
They aren't making money from this, but they are likely operating at a scale where they either don't notice if 1000 nerds on the internet are piggybacking their feeds, or don't care all that much.

It is not likely useful to them in negotiating ad rates, at least not with how advertising is usually bought/sold, because the broadcaster has almost no information (if any) about anyone watching these streams, including if it's even a person. It's possible they could fold it into a more general ad package that places a lot of weight on total view/viewers numbers, but that is a lot less common these days, and when it is done, the rates tend to be much lower
Did the "de minimus" exemption on small packages from China go away, and are all those now going to have to go through customs clearance?
I don't know how many billionaires support which party, so you may be right. I would be interested in a source. However, I believe there is a difference between donating money to a party and outright buying a vote. Let's see how we all think about it when the Dems start doing it, too.

Reasoning, planning, and reliability do not seem to be strong features of current LLMs.
> This essentially amounts to subsidizing industries that aren't competitive.

That's not a bad thing, especially if they are "not competitive" because foreign workers can be exploited more (and not some real competitive advantage).

There are more desirable things than the few neoliberalism optimizes for.
I had hoped that this kind of "Trump is actually playing 4d chess, you just don't understand" argument would be dismissed after seeing him through the first term, but apparently not.
That’s not true. I lived there for nearly a decade and you use driving licenses for id and there are other forms for id as well that don’t include the passport.

You need ID to do a lot of stuff just like any other country.
Like before we surrendered ourselves to "gadgets": simply by not bringing anything that could be a liability.

Random and targeted checks have always existed at borders. They would go through your stuff and move on to the next target if they didn't find anything suspicious. If you had folders, envelopes, etc. in your trunk or luggage, then they would go through them as well so, if you didn't want them to go through your most sensitive stuff, then you didn't bring that stuff with you. It's as simple as that.

But "privacy minded" people had it easy, back then, because they didn't travel with 20 years of correspondance or porn search history in their luggage.

Just leave your gadgets at home if you are worried about what could be found on them.

- If you really need to bring _your_ laptop, then image it anew before leaving.

- If it is a work laptop, then let your employer's IT department deal with the issue. You don't have personal stuff on it, do you?

- If you only need _a_ laptop, then buy the cheapest you can find upon arrival.

- Get a cheap SIM card and a disposable phone upon your arrival.
It makes perfect sense. You have a narcissistic asshole in the White House who got elected because the Democratic Party fumbled the ball.

> Then he votes for the anti-trans candidate.

> How do you square that circle?

I don't know your dad, maybe he doesn't see that candidate as "anti-trans"?

If you think that some group has unfair benefits you can vouch for stripping those benefits without seeing yourself as "anti". Your drive is not hatred but fairness. You can be misguided but that's a different question.

If you think church must pay taxes, it doesn't make you anti-church. If you want to reduce police funding it doesn't make you anti-police. If you want stricter control of guns that doesn't make you anti-guns.

The whole "anti" split is indeed a sing of the tribalism which in US takes a binary form. You're either with us or against us.
> calling out a specific race, besides a specific gender, seems really messed up

One of the bright notes of the last few elections has been the racial depolarisation of politics in America.

That said, we’re not in the endgame. You can still predict partisan (and subpartisan) affiliation by race plus one or two factors. Which is why we poll on that basis. In this case, there is one demographic that provides MAGA economic policies with oxygen. It falls along a specific race, gender and education axis—I don’t think it’s inappropriate to comment on that.

> just swapping the races you don't like doesn't make you not a racist

Sure. I don’t see how pointing out what a specific demographic did (qualified with a partisan lens) is derogatory.
>We believe the future of writing is AI & human collaboration.

That's on the right track based on my experience. Human + A.I. is the way for literature. I will make in the following weeks a small open source tool to generate comedy specifically, not general literature. No graphics or databases, just a dead simple org file, and tree sitter manipulation of it's grammar.

Creating good quality literature is a totally unexplored use case of A.I.
world views change with time and parties lead&follow the process at the same time.

that will be shown strongly in a locked 2 party system like the usa has.

you say it is strange that not more people switch camps, but this is not accidental, an extreme amount of effort and resources are spent to maintain this.
The only logic is that since the USA doesn’t have a VAT system, there is no way to do export VAT rebates.

> Export VAT rebates mean to refund the VAT paid in various domestic production stages to exporters. The purpose is to ensure that the prices of exported products are free of taxes in order to maintain a level playing field for international markets.

So that can’t exist at all for American exporters, since the USA doesn’t use VAT, their goods are taxed at a higher rate (as far as the exporters are concerned). It’s confusing, but Trump could have just asked for negotiations to get rid of this distortion.
If corp two could have factories in the US and still sell them at competitive prices they would've done that already no? The fact that they haven't indicates it didn't make economic sense. So then doing so would mean their costs would go up, which would either mean they have to eat the extra cost and reduce profit or pass the extra cost to consumers.
You mean there might be some niche product that:

1. has no US parts in the supply chain

2. has a importer that is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good

I'd venture a guess - Aptera went for 3 wheeler because certification as a motorcycle is much easier than as a 4-wheel car. Unfortunately 3 wheels - 3 vertical columns resisting the upcoming air - may be less aerodynamic than 4 wheels which are only 2 vertical columns resisting the upcoming air. Add to that that for the same stability you generally need the paired wheels in a 3 wheeler wider than the paired wheels in a 4 wheeler - that again worsens the 3-wheeler aerodynamics.
This is why I've always preferred full size PCs. But if I were to get a laptop it sounds like it would be a 17 year old ThinkPad. Are the newer ones the same? This wasn't clear in the article.

My PC is ten years old now. It's always run GNU/Linux and feels noticeably snappier than more recent machines with their bloated software. I've maxed out the CPU and RAM on it, overclocked it, added a nice AMD workstation GPU so I could run two 4k screens. I guess the thing is it really feels like I own it. I don't feel the same about phones and tablets.

It just isn't really a measurable impact against an overall picture.

At maximum, a T580 can draw 44 watts. 8 hours per day, 365 days a year, at 50 cents a kWh (quite expensive for the US), that's $65 a year. That's a several-year-old computer already.

The W520 can draw a much higher (but still low relative to a desktop) 150 watts. The cost per year to run it would then be around $220/year - but again, that's assuming maximum power draw for much of the day every day. Your home refrigerator uses more than twice that.

For most people, I don't see this cost increase as a problem.
I guess a few brownie points for making the case for compiled managed languages in games, nice work.
Plaid's bank transaction API, but OSS/self-hosted and extensible
hi HN. I've been looking for a tool to extract bank statements/transaction data from banks that do not provide APIs and finally decided to attempt POC-ing one. Essentially, the aim is to be similar to how Plaid provides transactions from banks, but self-hosted + extensible to any financial service platform since it uses a scraper. Posting this here for discussion :)
Experimental

* AIX

I wonder how they got an AIX.
It's not: in the formula they posted, phi is the "passthrough from tariffs to import prices". That's where the country's own tariffs are factored in. Or am I reading this wrong?

> they know what's going to happen, and they expect the coming storm because they seek what follows

If they do they’re lying. The mechanism by which tariffs restore production is by raising prices. That makes it more lucrative to invest in serving that market. If producers have to absorb the tariff, they won’t boost production and the tariff is just a corporate tax increase.

> to repudiate foreign held debt, or devalue it, by revaluation of the USD

That’s called inflation!
That's a crazy showertought. WH might actually consider it.

After hypothetical successful debt relinquish negotiations, any new US debt would have similar interest rate to Argentinian debt, 30% or so. Wall Street would shrink and London (or Frankfurt) would become new global financial center.

In reality, countries do just as what they do now. They raise counter-tariffs. The US faces coutertariffs from everyone. Other countries only from the US. Trade between countries other increase and they gradually adjust. Europeans start buying less iPhones and buy more Androids made in South Korea. Less Fords more Nissan.
The missing piece is not all costs are passed on to consumers.

Company absorb costs all the time. If you think cutting your price by 10% will boost sales by 20%, you do it because total profit is higher even though per unit profit is lower.

And the reverse is true - companies might increase prices and accept lower volume.

Not to mention not all items are interchangeable. Is a car made in Mexico worth the same as the same model made in Germany?

>what is really needed is a change in education. we need to teach the next generation that operating in good faith is absolutely essential for the future of mankind.

How can mankind have any future at all, when education is one of the tools used to indoctrinate children into not wanting children of their own someday? The first priority of any society/civilization must always be that of making the next generation of people... or else that society/civilization will soon cease to exist. And we no longer hold that as a priority. Whatever the solution might be, I do not think that it can use the education system, in whole or in part, without serious reform of the sort that would frighten those who most want to use it.

Furthermore, it may be the case that our particular nation is composed of two distinct groups who no longer have enough common values that we can effectively remain a singular nation. At least not without one coming to dominate the other decisively. Which is unfortunate given that there are many foreign powers that would take advantage of any possible divorce, amicable or hostile.
correct, but then those individuals could explain those views

popularity is not the same as tribal, tribal implies a blind following -- when individuals cannot explain why they believe something

This is true, but the amount of production in China dwarfs everyone else, and definitely what America can bring up anytime soon, so two consequences:

A. Tariff for Chinese goods will be reflected in consumer prices pretty much directly.

B. Domestic suppliers if the same goods have very limited capacity, giving them the pricing power to raise their prices by the tariff amount, and take it as extra profit.

Take for example cars. We will see American cars go up by the same amount as imports as long as they are oversubscribed on capacity.
There has been a lot of speculation about why this is being done, given that even a young child could understand that a grocery store is not taking advantage of you when you exchange your money for goods. Some say that it doesn't need an explanation, because the President has so much power that caprice and a little bad advice from a cabinet member is all it takes. That is not a complete picture, though, because power in the US is spread out enough that while only the President needs a reason to do something, many others must have a reason to allow it.

Here's one idea for a "why are his supporters allowing this," sort of explanation. In the US, educated professionals hold way more importance than the global average, due to the US's status as an exporter of services. They tend to vote for liberal (in the European sense) policies, whether Republican or Democrat.

If you wanted to destroy liberalism in the United States, you would have to drastically reduce the importance of higher education and professional labor. This can be done by placing very high taxes on the import of goods and base resources, so that young people who would have become engineers have to become miners, loggers and machinists instead. While I do not think this is true (blue-collar workers do not live up to the ultraright's "noble savage" sort of fantasy about their preferences and are actually just like anyone else... but if you're an elite you don't know that firsthand), it sounds plausible that enough of the people who are important for a season might believe it, and support it as a plan to remake American culture, not in their image, but in the image of a fantasy they share.

This works together with the strategic need to decouple from trade with a country before invading them, dramatically increasing the number of opportunities for self-aggrandizement through the threatening of war, high-stakes diplomacy, negotiations over individual prices... which also offer some respite for elected officials who would otherwise take an unending beating in the news over consumer data.
a) Republicans did the math and figured out that a lot of people who vote Democrat didn't have IDs. Old black people, in particular, were not likely to have IDs. Republicans also did stuff like accept fishing and hunting licenses for voting, but not university ID. None of this is a secret. A think-tank called ALEC came up with it. In-person voter fraud, the only kind of election rigging that voter ID laws prevent, is next to impossible in the US system and basically never occurs on more than a one-off basis.

b) A lot of those people who didn't have IDs have either gotten IDs or died off by now, so the Republican advantage of voter ID laws has faded.

c) Given (b), Republicans have moved on to other tactics like voter purges, shutting down registration offices and polling stations to create long lines in urban districts, gerrymandering, and limiting early voting and mail in voting. One of their favorite tactics is limiting early-voting mailboxes to one per precinct, whether that precinct has 1,000 voters or 1,000,000. You can guess which way the crowded urban precincts tend to vote.

The whole idea is just to put their thumb on the scale enough to discourage some small % of voters in the swing states that determine our president every four years. If you live in California, no one cares how you vote for President.
>>> Americans have been hurt for 50 years

>> No they haven't. They've benefitted from it.

> Saying Americans haven’t been hurt they’ve benefited applies to white collar workers only - no change to jobs and cheaper goods.

And that's a big reason why Trump won: white collar workers, like the GP, lecturing blue collar workers, while being ignorant of their actual situation.

It’s such a cultural thing. My friend group contains people from all sides of the political spectrum and they bicker like crazy when we go out but they are still friends. It might be a Spanish culture thing though.
Others pointed out that the tariff rate they are pointing to is actually just calculated based on trade imbalance. So the logic is that they have a number they want to get to and are throwing around terms that their constituents don't understand to make it sound reasonable

VAT is not a tariff, no one reasonable thinks it's a tariff but the US doesn't use the term VAT so enough people won't second guess it if trump says it's an tax on american goods

It's both. It's a FAST channel being used by I think Pluto.TV and Roku to give them another "live 24/7" "channel" for their catalogs, but underneath is just looping playlist of YouTube content.
