> I haven't heard a single analyst find sense in how tariff levels were set per country - someone did notice that it appeared a very simple formula had been applied, one that has no basis in economic theory.

I find it funny people keep talking about someone figuring out it out when they actually published it, including the reasoning with references at the bottom: https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations
Europe is openly talking about its own cooperative nuclear umbrella. Trump is correct that he deserves 100% of credit/blame for that, taking the heat for Putin.
I’m happy using coolify. I self host on my Mac Studio as the control plane and deploy to digital ocean. I’m currently looking to host in Canada instead, but not having much luck. I considered hosting my deployments locally as well, I don’t get much traffic, but haven’t made a decision yet.

Overall it’s good software that just does what it says it will. My needs aren’t particularly complex, but they aren’t totally trivial either. It does a great job orchestrating things without me needing to worry much about the inner workings.

I’ve done these things manually for a long time and I would be fine continuing to do that, but… I’ve got a job, kids, other hobbies, etc. It has been great to have a simple control plane to automate a lot of it for me. I find it makes it more likely for me to build and deploy something in the first place, which is what really counts for me at the end of the day.

The discord has also been a good resource. They’re very helpful and the vibe is very positive in my experience. It has been, and still seems like an ecosystem worth investing in.

A defense industry is intertwined with a industry for civilians, for example in aeronautics. Certain nearby trading partners have historically stymied attempts to maintain such an industry.

What? The didn't happen, or it's not how it happened. Are you pretty young to remember Brexit?

The UK voted for Brexit in 2016, but it was up to the UK itself to invoke it with the EU. They took almost 4 years to do it in January of 2020 after 4 years of arguing about it with a transition period and trade talks with the EU until the end of 2020. It wasn't a surprise and "no one knew how imports worked". Yeah people online made all sort of wild hyperbolic scenarios, but trade was unaffected until the end of 2020. There were shortages in the UK around that time, but I wonder if you remember what happened shortly after January 31st of 2020?

The prescription drug shortages is still a problem in the UK. It's not because no one still knows how imports work in the UK, 5 years after Brexit. It's because the overall imports and exports in the UK has been falling since Brexit. Because the UK economy hasn't been doing great. Brexit, COVID, and then Ukraine/Russian energy dependency came in a pretty bad time for the UK.
"People don't want to admit wealth distribution is the problem because that would make them "communists"."

If you are referring to taking wealth by force from people that earned it and giving to people that didn't earn it, yes it's 'communist'. There's nothing emotional about a methodology that has failed over and over again.
Timber harvest doesn't work as an alternative to forest fires. This is timber industry propaganda. It produces shallow ecosystems and monoculture forests. Forest fires work just fine, and we continue to have them every year whether we do controlled burns or not. Many species rely on the natural fire cycle and we shouldn't try to prevent fires through timber harvest, it just makes fires and erosion and biodiversity worse.
You will need to back that claim up with a long list of facts.

Friedman was not saying we should maximize imports. Instead he was saying we should maximize the ratio of imports to exports. Essentially to get as much stuff from others (imports) while paying as little as possible (via exports).

”And the proper objective for a nation as Adam Smith put it, is to arrange things so that we get as large a volume of imports as possible, for as small a volume of exports as possible.”

With that said. He appears to be arguing for colonialism. Take stuff from others and pay a pittance for it.
"Soul" is one of my favorite books. Kidder writing is phenomenal. He explains complex topics with ease and the storytelling drags you in from introduction. I also think it might be the best example of what great management looks like. Tom West isn't the focus of the story but without his hand none of it could have existed. Cannot recommend highly enough.
trees are not the problem. we have so much timber inventory. you can't increase timber production without solving mill capacity and logging labor issues. we have so many fucking trees. we need more tree nimbys so tree prices will go up. timber != lumber.
There is a technicality in normal times, though: ratifying treaties negotiated by the President only need to pass the Senate.

Where did you get that figure from?

There are many sources online that agree, so I won’t bother to link them, that the population of New England was ~100k in 1700 and ~300k in 1750.

The claim that that actual rate of murder in all of New England was 2-6 per year is not believable.

The big mass senders can afford TCR compliance. I'm betting that's who you hate getting sms from. Well, you'll keep getting their SMS.

It's small biz who is hurt by TCR. Biz who are run by people you've met and talk to.

I do business with lots of local shops and often SMS is the best fit for us to talk to each other. Except now we can't.

That's who TCR is protecting us from.

I agree with what Biden was trying to do and the last part about the thrashing and lack of long term focus.

However I don’t think it’s the electorate that wants it now the same way a petulant child wants a toy. It’s the lack of clear vision and support that makes the electorate so desperate for it to happen. If we were to actually reinvest in our citizenry (meaning the wealthy in this country would need to pay a little more in taxes) and have proper support for people in the meantime the public would be supportive and it would be better for the country as a whole.

Instead it seems the US is trying to inch its way to becoming some type of modern Game of Thrones

There is clear legislative intent to limit when the president could apply the law. You're suggesting limitations set by congress are meaningless, so long as the president's staff can form some sort of argument by stretching the facts enough.

Writing from a country with dysfunctional judiciary, I think this is a logical way to overcome crime, at least temporarily. There isn't a "hygienic" alternative when judges are continuously bribed or blackmailed by gang members.

The answer key, unless it has changed since you wrote your comment, has the correct answer of (a) for that question (midway down page 3). You seem to have scrolled to the very end of the document which has the answers to a completely different section.

I was in the same boat. Had a pair of speakers go bad about a month ago, opened em up, saw a bunch of bulged capacitors. Tried my hand at replacing them, wasted way too much time doing it; in the end I didn't fix them. I either burnt something while desoldering or something else was borked.

I bought a new pair, but I walked away from it with more or less of a warm and fuzzy feeling that I did what I could. And a semi-decent soldering station, so next time this happens I will try again.
A country could mine gold, pay with it for imports, and never have this gold brought back.

Currently you can replace gold with oil: say, Saudi Arabia could literally exchange many things it imports to oil, which can be nominated in USD to accommodate for the fluctuating monetary price of oil, but could be nominated in barrels directly, in a barter trade. They won't see this oil back, even e.g. as plastics made out of it, and they're fine with that.

The US can (so far) replace the gold and oil with USD, in cash, investment, or even credit purchase form, because there's enough demand for US cash as a store of value and a currency to trade with non-US entities, and enough trust that the US is going to service its debt, so it's an investment. The US may (effectively) never receive much of these USDs it sends abroad back; they are still a good deal in an inflationary fiat-currency economy. This pump continues to work as long as things like Silicon Valley, Wall St, and the US military continue to be world-dominating in their respective areas. (And this is one reason why isolationism is a silly policy for the US, toxic for its economy.)
I would have expected other countries to largely be holding securities. Am I wrong there, are they actually holding primarily USD?

>It’s such a slap in the face to see that the only news coverage of this is from privileged Americans who can’t possibly understand what this means for the standard of living in that country.

Or, you could just acknowledge that it is inherently inhumane, despite the improvements it's making for your country. Of course authoritarian measures bring results and of course in a country like El Salvador, in it's previous state, they might even be warranted - but it is still inhumane. Inhumanity sometimes has to be fought with inhumanity, Americans of all people should acknowledge that. If you want to argue that it is not inhumane, however, then you are wrong. Imprisonment without due process is inherently inhumane.
It’s more that it absolves them from having to hold a vote to continue the “emergency”. I believe the emergency act requires congress to vote to continue the emergency after a certain number of days.

But the republicans know that would be embarrassing to hold a public vote to do so- so they sneak in shit like this, to continue to be cowards since they’re too scared to publicly endorse the cruelty.

I’ve finally gotten to a place in my life financially where I don’t care as much about the potential of making money from side projects and get to just build what I find interesting with the care and attention that I’ve always wanted.

It’s very zen, finally I feel no pressure to make progress, or feel like I’m wasting time by refactoring.

Sometimes I’d spend days just trying to get an animation exactly how I wanted to, or build vanity features entirely because they’re cool.

Everything else I’ve worked on, had aspirations of making money one day, and it quickly becomes a job.

What sucks?
Yeah, you nailed it.

There are also regional specializations. Like, BC has a substantial amount of Western Red Cedar which the north western states can’t meet the demand for alone.

We also send raw materials to be processed by mills in the USA. This isn’t as common as it once was. Then we also send lumber which US mills process. Some examples would be fir boards would are turned into flooring, window sash, stair treads, etc. BC produces a ton of material like this which is fodder for all kinds of mills, large and small. We try to keep that business here, but we tend to mostly dimension raw materials for export, rather than actually mill them and add any meaningful value.

We import a lot of hardwood lumbers from the USA. I’ve personally bought and milled American hardwoods for furniture in my home. We have beautiful hardwoods in Canada, but there are a lot in the USA we simply don’t grow, or at least not commercially.
Some people have an obligation to sell (option contracts must be honored, ETFs must be rebalanced, etc.) and this creates liquidity.

Some people also have a lower risk tolerance (or want the money to put into something with more predictable returns like say treasuries) and want out now.

Hence why people should support open source AI, as otherwise, ironically, even more regulation will mean that only the big tech companies will be able to afford the licenses to content to train their AI.
The people who voted for these policies have to feel a sufficient amount of pain from them to be sure they won't just vote for them again as soon as they get the chance. Most people who voted for Trump in 2024 would vote for him again if he ran for a 3rd term. Nobody can consider America a reliable partner until that isn't a laughable possibility again.
My wife has been working on a pixel accurate recreation of MacPaint on the web, and one of the things that I've learned from on-and-off helping with it was just how much of the magic in it is actually just handled by QuickDraw.

New Neural Network Slashes Sensor-Data Overload
Put simply: SIUN’s efficiency beat the CNN, and it wasn’t even close. The researchers found that SUIN “achieves a 435.01x reduction in the number of FLOPS required,” to classify the bearings within the dataset. While that was the researchers’ best-case example, other tested datasets also found significant boosts to efficiency, with SIUN reducing compute requirements about 8-fold to 27-fold when compared to a CNN.
That really raises the question of how we want to define "conservative" though.

They aren't conserving what we already have (they're cresting new policy and abandoning trade partnerships already built).

They also aren't supporting free trade. Maybe that isn't technically conservative, but its always been my understanding that free trade was a pretty big part of American conservatism (at least in recent decades).
For the longest time I railed against the fact that I am mortal, and my time is finite. I wanted to squeeze everything I could into my days, and I would feel guilty about projects I didn’t get to. This is despite having a wife, kids, house, full time job.

Eventually I burned out on programming-based side projects. I switched to activities that do not require staring at a screen. So I build analog electronics, study music.

Then I had a heart attack. My mortality and the fragility of life was never more clear. I accepted that I could die, and let go of all the mental baggage I was holding onto.

I’ve felt ‘cured’ ever since. I don’t recommend anyone get a heart attack. But I do think people fall into patterns, and get stuck inside of them. Sometimes a “pattern interrupter” can break us out.

Better to use podman and build your own containers from Containerfile/Dockerfile (your own or open source ones, there are a ton on GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg that you can build yourself) and base layers.

Free trade was core to both parties. Conservative is perhaps an overwrought term nowadays, but I also don’t like using the “left-right” terminology as it also suffers from lack of specificity.

I believe it is. And it’s fixable, but obscure.

They talked about it on the accidental tech podcast years ago when someone emailed him with the solution to this problem which one of the hosts was having.

I’ve tried searching but I’m unable to find which episode it was since search engines don’t work anymore.

So here’s what I think it might be based on what little I remember. When messages you’re sending are going to the wrong address, I think what you…

1. Tap the contact pic at the top of the iMessage thread

2. On the first row of buttons, tap the far right “info” button with a generic contact poster icon

3. Tap the “message” link

4. All their iMessage addresses will pop up, choose the one you want to use

I think that might “move” the thread to the right place.

I know in your case it sounds like it’s the other party who would need to do this. If this doesn’t actually do anything or create a second thread, I’m sorry. I know there’s a way I just don’t remember it if it’s not the above.

I have interacted with the parent account before and have actually looked at the the amount of times they used words like awful, horrific, etc, and I definitely agree, as one should not have such a strong attachment to such words that they feel the need to continue to use (or rather, abuse) them endlessly.

I may have to learn its other half, Tk, as a side project of mine is starting to feel less like something I can pull off as a "wizard" on the command line. I had wrestled with wxPython many moons ago and, while I got through it, I felt like I had perhaps taken a wrong turn.

As a side note, while I have seen many UI elements over the decades, I cannot help but think that the wizard (or whatever you would like to call it) has somehow escaped being listed as a standard UI element. Perhaps it is too large to count for many.
