When in the supply-chain you are creating the "taxation" matters to the final cost, assuming 1) the gross margins remain the same and 2) the costs scale linearly.

Consider a fictional supply-chain with three players A, B, C. Assume that B and C have 50% gross margins.

In a no-tax world, if A sells the product to B for 10$, then B to C for 20$, C will sell it retail for 40$. (A:10$ -> B:20$ -> C:40$)

Now imagine a 100% tariff scenario for the transaction between A and B. Now, A sells the product to B for 20$ (10$ + 100% tariff), then B to C for 40$, C will sell it retail for 80$. (A:20$ -> B:40$ -> C:80$). This nets the government 10$

In a third scenario, imagine a world where this 10$ is not charged as a tariff but as a sales tax. A sells to B for 10$, B to C for 20$, and C to the customers at 50$ (40$ + 10$ freedom tax).

By changing where in the supply chain the tax is levied, we arrive at a lower retail price for the same tax income. This is a natural consequence of the above two assumptions, especially the idea that costs scale linearly. If maximum income from the taxation of imported goods is your goal, this is the way to go. Whether this would have the desired effect of discouraging imports is another matter.
Pretty clear Trump shorted the market, now going pump and dump

It wasn't great because it was (1) generic and (2) on the border of nationalistic flamewar, but it's not one we would post a moderation reply to.

>> Trump's tariffs are 10% of anything

What percentage is VAT in Europe? Typically around 20%? Maybe Trump should enact a 10% sales tax instead of a tariff and then everyone would obviously be completely fine with it, problem solved.
The President's advisors are saying multiple contradictory things. You're right that they're saying that the reciprocal tariffs are a negotiating ploy, which implies that they'll negotiate a much lower rate. But at the same time they're also saying that they're going to use the tariffs to raise enough revenue to replace income taxes as the main way of funding the government, which implies that the tariffs will stay high. Then they're also saying that the tariffs will be used to support domestic manufacturing, which implies that the tariffs will stay high and predictable.

It doesn't make sense that the tariff policy can be both leverage in a negotiation with the ultimate goal eliminating trade barriers and also so high and predictable that they can raise something the 10-20% of GDP.

The logical conclusion is that there is no plan here - we're living in a world like England under Henry VIII, where everything is done based on the whim of the king, and the advisors try to justify it ex post facto.

> there is a consensus that we need a harmonious, stable and positive society

It's not clear to me that there's any link between China's authoritarian government and its harmony/stability. Taiwan is richer per-capita than China and just as stable, without an authoritarian government.

In fact, I suspect that China will be rich and harmonious as long as it's not at war (with itself or a foreign power). The authoritarianism is just a historical coincidence.
If it passes under a Republican Congress and it's a simple bill (primarily revoking presidential emergency tariff authority), then it'll probably have enough bipartisan support in the Senate, but maybe not House, to be veto proof.
Fox News is less a news outlet and more a performance art piece in which actors, costumed as journalists, deliver carefully scripted outrage to an audience so thoroughly conditioned they believe they're watching journalism—when in reality, it’s more akin to a soap opera written by a political strategist and directed by the ghost of Joseph McCarthy.
Perhaps it's simpler to configure with a single impulse response vs multiple filters?
> Well, unless congress grows a collective sack (unlikely) or President Trump comes to his senses on macro economics

We in Argentina feel for you: it's exactly the same for us, replacing Trump with Milei. And with the added humiliation of Milei being a lapdog to Trump.

This phrase of yours "unless congress grows a sack" is exactly how we feel about our own congress in Argentina.
How would they be risking it?

Who is incentivized in this system to say that this product is actually coming from China? Is it the US government regulators who just lost their jobs? Or the Businesses themselves who don't want to pay higher tariffs? Is it China who avoids the tariff? Is it Vietnam who just got paid for doing nothing?

The answer would typically be that the US gov't would monitor this. But that is not a muscle this administration is capable of. That would require nuance and strategy, and it's very clear from this move that this administration doesn't have that capability.

There was the Bulova Accutron,[1] which used a 360 Hz tuning fork. This was the most accurate watch in the 1960s. Here's high frame rate video of the mechanism.[2] It's an electrically powered tuning fork ratcheting a toothed wheel forward. This is backwards from an escapement clock or watch.

Worked fine, used by astronauts, made obsolete by quartz watches.

Don't you just go out to eat knowing the price is going to be 20% higher after tip? I can understand the desire for predictability, but menu prices are artificially low as they don't account for labor. If tipping were 'abolished' food service prices would have to rise 10-20% across the board to compensate.
The title of the article on the website is misleading and actually untrue.

The memo did not say “no longer targeting fraud”- it said that it was no longer targeting individuals and exchanges for regulatory missteps. The theme of the memo is “we’re not going to use mountains of regulations written for non-crypto regulation to go after crypto exchanges”, which is in line with a general regulatory themes of the Trump administration to avoid “lawfare” type activities and reduce regulatory burdens.

In fact, the memo specifically said (according to the article, near the end) that the government would focus their efforts on fraud against crypto investors.

Now you might or might not agree with these goals, and you might or might not support the Trump administration, and you might or might not like Trump, but the article headline was at odds with the article content and with the DoJ memo.

Correct. In general, the backstop would be Congress saying "Enough" and threatening impeachment were the law not enforced.

There have been interesting examples on both sides of the aisle of strategic non-enforcement. When states began legalizing marijuana, the law is quite clear (as per the supremacy clause) that federal law enforcement can still enforce the restrictions on growing and selling it. The Obama administration made extremely clear that within the states where it had been legalized, enforcing the federal law would be a career-limiting move for the relevant federal agents. AFAIK, every administration since has de-facto kept that policy regarding those states, even though Congress has never moved to make marijuana legal to use and distribute.
That's fair but I suggest that they are actually deficit hawks for the long term. In the short term, they've got financing troubles hence they care about the yield.
I can find this (easily). Link?
> The idea would be that different parts of the supply chain would build factories in the US to avoid tariffs.

Right, because the US doesn't have diamonds, vanilla, coffee beans or the many other things it needs? How do you avoid tariffs like this?

The US still needs fish from the penguins. What's the plan? To tell penguins to stop fishing and come to the US and work in factories?

> The end goal would be 0% corporate and income taxes, funded with high tariffs.

Well you have that right. When there's 0% of the people working no 1 will be paying corporate and income tax. It'll just crash.

> Over time the US re-industrializes.

Like it's gone? You do know the US is the 2nd largest global manufacturer right? That is even today. So do we need to blow that up 1st in order to re-industrialize?
I don't need to be convinced that China has lots of bright, hard-working individuals. I just want to point out that China faces immense challenges and that we should see beyond, and push back against, the propaganda. There is a massive asymmetry between China and democratic nations in this regards.

Wasn't it that they installed sympathetic politicians, which then led to the UK willingly turning over control (despite the local protests). Calling that a takeover seems misleading to me.

Ahh somewhat willingly, the lease to the land expired. So seemingly no choice was given.
Their population is declining in absolute terms.

They have been projected to pass the USA in GDP for a long time now. We'll see if it happens. Their demographic trends are not favorable, but the US seems to be testing out how many self-sustained wounds its economy can survive.
Not sure why this is downvoted, this is absolutely the kind of power play Trump did his entire business career on.

Never found much use for any kind of generator, they don't scale once you want good error reporting/handle weird edge cases etc. It's nice to have a descriptive, succinct syntax though; as opposed to having it spread out over a recursive descent parser.

aestheticism is a feature of fascism. the late night phone call, the strong words in the oval office, boarding air force one with retinue in tow, hurry hurry... it's less about what is being achieved, and more about the pageantry that something is being achieved. change, action, disruption, violence (metaphorical or not) are good in and of itself, pomp is the reification of these impulses. i disliked succession precisely for this reason, the idolization of these processes (whether it was under the guise of irony is irrelevant).

these fetishes can start to supplant material reality, real banana republic stuff. we should give the wasps and neoliberals credit to always have been somewhat immune to and disdainful of these practices.

I have been tempted several times to kill my GPT Pro account, but it is still valuable for cases where Gemini and Claude don't get the job done for whatever reason.
Market economies have gotten us to the point where true needs are made available to all in the developed world.

That's because money lets people efficiently deploy resources where they feel it is needed.

Frankly, everything is “obvious” in retrospect. I assumed Trump would triple down regardless of the consequences. My only conclusion is that the fluctuations of the market are going to be completely arbitrary during this administration.
The material used by genuine Crocs seems to last much longer. My brother bought some knock-offs at the same time that I picked up a new pair. He wore through the soles in about two years while mine are still kicking after almost 8 years of near-daily use.

You can get the genuine ones for $18 to $35 on ebay depending on the color, so while I'm sure you can save some on clones it's not worth it for the durability and comfort.

Like I said, it seems legit.
One can do similar things with JamesDSP on Android. I believe there are ways to do it without root nowadays.

They aren't, but I live in a hot, humid climate where it often rains. So a scooter is not the best there. And then my workplace is right on a highway - I can take lower-speed roads to get there, but even the slowest path involves 35 MPH roads (~55 km/h), and it's longer.
> other countries’ willingness to negotiate fair trade terms

This is a fabricated justification. There has been literally zero public reporting of any trade negotiations post-tarifpocalypse. The only people saying there are deals being made are the White House, who have produce zero evidence of deals.

No, Trump was responding[1] to the movement of the market and in particular to the sudden spike in federal bond rates. This was absolutely not a win for Art of the Deal. There was no Deal.

[1] In "good faith", to be sure.
they already IPOed so the original investors made out with a ton of money. if you think there's still a version where Uber evaporates overnight, I have some puts to sell you.
Laundering is when you fake a legitimate source for the funds. Obfuscating the source is a different thing.

Ferrari does the same thing. You need to have a "relationship" with the dealer before you can buy one.
I don't believe it's being done so strategically. He's not Franklin D Roosevelt.

I forget all the details, but some constituency once came to FDR to ask him to do something. He likely leaked that he was planning on doing so to major Catholic organizations in America, and when there was outrage, turned to the first party and told them that he'd love to, but his hands were tied. He never intended to do anything in the first place, he just wanted a convenient scapegoat.

This doesn't make any sense. Why not just go with 10% tariffs across the board? There wasn't going to be any pushback, it should be clear at this point. Or why not just leak the plan, and then say "I guess it has to be 10% because business leaders won't accept higher."

This isn't masterful juggling, it's improv comedy.
I actually like Claude over ChatGPT specifically because of how their web UI distinguishes.

Its clear that neither company prioritizes their flagship chat UI, over their other offerings. So if it will be in stasis, I definitely like it

There are other web AI offerings now (deepseek web, perplexity, to name a few). This is what I like between these two:

The speed of responses.

The reliability. ChatGPT web UI often times out or has server errors for random things.

Different censorship. Overall better for my use cases, and how errors are handled.

Initially search of old chats was a first class citizen in Claude. ChatGPT didnt have it, needed third party plugins, it has since updated, but is still lackluster in this regard.

The diagrams, charting and coding interface is great and better. Easier for seeing how something compiles and runs, easier to copy and paste.
The situation is so absurd that I’m starting to believe the entire Musk vs. Navarro feud was just a ploy, and they’re all popping champagne bottles together now.

> Typically the scam is that an offshore consultancy wants to place some roles to collect wages. Many of these agencies are from collectivist cultures, so in the mind of the agency, they all work in our project. This may not be true, but the agency sees the position as theirs, not the recruit's. So they typically don't the issue with putting recruit A in front of the interviewer and then slotting recruit B in after the position is secured.

I've run into this with a Ukrainian consultancy. It wasn't even a scam. They told us up-front that they were prepared to pull their best engineers from some other clients and put them on our team in order to win our business. Our obvious reaction: and when you get another opportunity, you will pull those engineers from us and we'll get the B-team, just like you're about to do to someone else.

Naturally we didn't move forward with them (this was before the war, so very lucky decision)
