India possibly. It's not much in the geopolitical discussion, but in 50 years time, may be earlier, India will have a larger economy than the US. That will truly be then end of the "American Age". Whole playbook which has been applied to USSR, China won't apply either.

Even as on today, moving to India and Indonesia and similar countries will bring similar quality of life that people get in the US at a lower cost. Rents, Healthcare, labour all are much cheaper. Interest rates are much higher.

You'll even get things like quick-commerce, which isn't really taking-off in the US.
> I'm curious if America will soon reach a tipping point where a sizeable portion of its population actually makes an effort to emigrate, rather than just talking about it.

Emigrate where? The parts of the world where quality of life is equal or better don't just have open door policies letting Americans in freely, last I checked. I imagine it's going to get even harder.
I'm on the hook for $128k for a no complications birth and 5 days my newborn had to be on a CPAP machine after blue cross denied the claim. I picked the plan only after confirming all our providers were in network, but failed to check if the building where the delivery was occurring was in network.

The plan at this point is to just ignore it and hope it goes away, since they can't put it on your credit anymore.
Consider their business model. A lot of highly educated employees, a lot of very expensive equipment and furnishings, a high risk of customers dying in their care, and injury lawyers hovering around the exits telling sick and injured people that if they aren’t 100% cured they have a lucrative claim.
Except the insurers increasingly own the cost centers.

The big insurers own the PBMs, the specialty pharmacies, the doctors, the urgent care networks. United Healthcare is the country’s single largest employer of physicians. https://www.statnews.com/2025/03/07/unitedhealth-surgery-cen...

Go back in time and stop this any of the other times we took a big step this direction. The thrust this direction has been going strong since the '70s.

We wrote out a detailed plan for jumping off a cliff, took several slow but steady and large steps toward the edge of the cliff, inched our shoes right over the edge, grabbed the railing, leaaaaaned way over, a little farther, a little farther, released finger go, then another, then completely let go. We're in free fall, the decades in which anyone could have stopped it are all in the past. There's nothing to grab, no path to turn around on, we're just falling now.

No, your claim was that integrators get hate for not immediately integrating upstream changes. Which is patently false, because users would rather have the packages tested for breaking changes and either patched or have a deprecation warning, rather than having the changes blindly integrated and having their legs pulled out from under them by a breaking change. No one is hating on distro packagers for taking a slight delay to verify and test things.

I brought up Arch because they get a lot of hate for exactly doing that and consequently pulling people's legs out from under them.
That applies to your distro package manager too.

It feels like important details are missing here. First of all, 6100? That's an oddly specific and small number of people. There are many millions of immigrants and some millions of illegal immigrants. What makes these 6100 special? I've found dozens of articles on the web that say the same thing as WaPo almost verbatim. Who here is from the corporate media? What are the missing details?

The only hints in the article are "The White House told The Post that the roughly 6,000 immigrants all have links to either terrorist activity or criminal records." but there are going to be a lot more than 6000 people with criminal records alone. If they are counting people with criminal records then there should be tens or hundreds of thousands flagged as deceased.

Perhaps they were doing purges manually and got caught / interrupted? If so, why? Cherry picking would take forever. If Team-Elon were doing this I would expect automation.

Why would you move to a country that does terrorism?

And I'll let you in a secret: the legal definition of what is terrorism and what is not, is the one the government and courts decide, not you as a non-citizen. To me what Busch did equates to terrorism, but that's not what the courts decided, so there we are.

That's not your government to protest against because you can't vote as your not a citizen of that country, so that country's leadership is not accountable to you, it's accountable only to its citizens.

Leave that protesting to the citizens, or move to your country and protest in front of the US/Israel embassy from your own country's soil, that's the legal way to do it.

> The more economic crisis there is is, the weaker the government, and the more women will need men

So, to put a finer point on it - you decided that aiming to destroy the United States, and the Pax Americana underlying western civilization, was an appropriate response because AOC and Macron (who represent "everyone", in your apparent media diet) hurt your feelings. As a fellow man, this is just pathetic and entitled.

There have always been groups in society you cannot criticize. There has always been groupthink bullshit that you just smile and nod, and then later share your real thoughts with your trusted close friends. The growing prevalence of talking about men's rights issues was the painstaking path to them getting better - there are some pretty harsh biological reasons why custody courts are slanted towards women, right? If you really wanted to phrase this in terms of "men", then maybe you needed to listen to your fellow wiser men telling you to hold your nose and vote conservative/democrat instead of lashing out with histrionic destruction. Alas.

Outside of XKCD cartoons, there are years of data showing that exporters can devalue their currency to make their exports more competitive. This took place in the first round of tariffs, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43661441

Current short term (days, not years) movement in the bond market is due to selling and unwinding by Europe and Japan, not China.
> Actually moral rights is what allow you to say no to AI.

The US doesn't really have moral rights and it's not clear they're even constitutional in the US, since the copyright clause explicitly requires "promote the progress" and "limited times" and many aspects of "moral rights" would be violations of the First Amendment. Whether they exist in some other country doesn't really help you when it's US companies doing it in the US.

> Further making a variant of a famous art piece under copyright might very well be a derivative.

Well of course it is. That's what derivative works are. You can also produce derivative works with Photoshop or MS Paint, but that doesn't mean the purpose of MS Paint is to produce derivative works or that it's Microsoft rather than the user purposely creating a derivative work who should be responsible for that.

I am among the few who think it might eventually prove itself a good idea.

To start with, Europe has no good cards to play. Ultimately, Europe will side with the United States while it builds self-sufficiency on several fronts, especially defense. Europe also recognizes that the complete relocation of production capacity into China wasn't good in the long run; it's just that they had no ability to act on their own.

The US has repeatedly suggested publicly that it's not entirely about tariffs, and more might have been said privately. The tariffs the EU and Britain will drop are probably not what the US is after; what the US wants is to reduce global demand for Chinese manufacturing. Europe will find it easier to sell this—bringing manufacturing back and protectionism even at the cost of say, welfare and environment—to the public due to the violent shakedown over the past two weeks, as well as what happened with Ukraine and Russia. Ongoing European emergency measures to increase defense spending will be followed by incentives to rebuild strategic industry—like how China supported civilian–military partnership with policy.

Meanwhile the Indian government is already looking for ways to replace Chinese imports with US imports, where it can [1]. Japan and North Korea will follow suit; Trump is already saying that Korea needs to pay for US troops.

The US is (in my view) on solid footing here. At the very least, they get better trade deals from everyone else—Europe, India, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc. A number of companies will move production back into the US, and the government can prioritize those with more military value (chip-making, batteries, cars, shipbuilding [2] , etc.). And if the US can convince others to start decoupling from China, this will weaken Chinese manufacturing capacity.

Given the pain it's going to inflict in the short term, Trump is the only person who could have started this trade war. There might have been ways to do this without such a shake-up, but I am not convinced that this was a stupid move.

This was an anti-China move right from the beginning, disguised as an outrage against everyone's tariffs.

I know, feel the same about codes of conduct. People who need those kinds of rules are the least likely to follow and most likely to weaponize them.

But I think we can agree it's a good thing to feel assured that having different opinions and occasionally being wrong is not going to be a problem, that this is something that could potentially affect the team in positive ways?
Well yes, either position was dismissibly stupid.

No president is going to ride out a self-imposed multi-year global trade reconfiguration triggering inflation, shortages and unemployment.

Nor is putting the genie back in the bottle possible now and so even if you return to status quo trade policy, you've now spooked the world re: reliability of US as partners, US dollar, US debt, etc.

Worst of both worlds really. Incredible self owns over and over.
> There is no American brain drain, unlike claimed in leftist media.

There is vanishingly little US "leftist media", and none of it is concerned with a brain drain from the USA. It's mostly outlets in the historically center-right media, including some of those who went out of their way to kowtow to Trump immediately before and/or shortly after the election, that have done so. Unsurprisingly, because "brain drain" is a concern of their corporate capitalist constituency, and not so much of the anticapitalist left.

(That said, it is a real and measurable thing, irrespective of what political faction finds it most concerning.)

It’s pure stupidity and most people don’t even realize it. Last night I met a couple at a country club where I was a guest - one of those $100k/yr places - and they asked me if my trade partners are charging me more with the tariffs. I told them the U.S. government is charging me more with the tariffs and my trade partners are charging me more because the value of the dollar is down. This was the first time anyone told them it’s the importer who pays the tariff and that it will be passed to the customer in multiples to maintain the same profit margin. Man, to be wealthy enough to be a member at a place like that and to be able to live in ignorant bliss… What a life.

No. This reads as capitulation by Trump who is now finding out his long held, half-baked economic theories are wrong. Trump got spanked by the bond market and realized how weak his position was. He can't walk it all back overnight without appearing even weaker than he already is. He's going to slowly roll back most consequential tariffs to try to escape blame for damaging the economy.
“I have this terrible illness, but at least it’s chronic.”
Why do we have freedom of speech for Americans?

One reason is that it is a check on power.

The protestors and editorial writers were typically not arrested for breaking laws. Typically there are some rules on protests, and when they are not followed then police are free to arrest people.

These people are part of the fabric of free speech that adds value to America. It's messier to live in a country like that, but it stops crazy authoritarian bubbles. I think it's slower at times, but leads to a better outcome.

Many American friends I know don't have the same family history surrounding governments like the Nazis, ussr and CCP. These things are worth protecting, and by the time you realize it -- you're too late.

This is my response you asked for. Does it help ?
