Does the admin’s affinity for tariffs have anything to do with Lutnick? His “former” firm bought tariff credits from companies for pennies on the dollar - huge upside if you knew what was coming.

I don’t see why this isn’t the norm, if you build something “destructive”, you absolutely need to compensate those affected by those actions.

How is Musk/xai even in the conversation here? It’s a lowly, also-ran AI company, not a “frontier model” company.

I wonder if part of this is usage by newer Android based emulators [1] used for emulating x86-based PC games on powerful snapdragon based devices (Retroid Pocket 6, AYN Odin 2 line, AYN Thor, AYANEO Pocket S2, etc). [1] GameNative, GameHub

Does this block something like Obtainium? https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/ This is sad as there’s been a real resurgence of gaming devices (Ayn Thor/Odin, Retroid pocket devices, Ayan

Weren’t foreign nations gonna pay the tariffs? What is this with requiring each customer to pay $10 per watch? It’s funny how these very tariffs were introduced to “combat inflation” end up increasing it by an order of magnitude.

That’s a biased inaccurate hashtag. A sensible person would say yes to personal freedoms - it’s their choice. Don’t impose either world view on them.

Thank you for the contextualization - but Iran’s handling is nowhere close to Islamic, not observing the hijab doesn’t take you out of the fold of Islam (also where have men been held to the hijab - covering awrah, in such places?) - the 5

It is, unfortunately the "Islamic Republic of Iran" is anything but Islamic. Show trials, murdering innocents, etc. They're emboldened by their Soviet allies, CCP, etc.

Funny thing is, as a practicing muslim - there is no compulsion in religion (direct quote from the Qur'an). Iran literally is using the ignorance of the populace to push their own means of controlling the masses.

Thank you for sharing this. I've often wondered how some folks deal with misfortune, take it in stride and work through them than abandon all hope for an easier route. Perseverance and Endurance are a rarity in today's society.

As someone who did the same move with the release of Pixel Pro 6, I deeply regret it. Google Maps in a minimized view fared worse than my iPhone 8 plus for multitasking, that is bound to cause some traffic accidents if a driver tries multit

A lot of old 90's "hacks" are still commonplace in current email design. Thanks to Outlook's reliance on a brain dead MS Word-based rendering system rather than using actual modern HTML5. And since Outlook is still the s

To be fair, shirtless men are a lot less common in urban India. Not the same in the "countryside" or villages as we refer to rural areas. India has certain public decency laws which prohibits exposure (not sure if shirtless would

As an Indian in the states - my observation was that obesity in the US seems like a class issue. Most well-off folks are fit and working out is woven into their lifestyles. Others can't as they're probably working 2-3 jobs to make

Would this also not affect angel investing/seed investing by individuals? If there's no huge incentive for an investor once a company makes it to hold their stock, every successful company will be led by corporate hedge funds&#x2F

Chromecast Ultra has an Ethernet port. But the color accuracy is off and the video quality (atleast on Chromecast YouTube) seems poorer (overblown highlights, inaccurate colors, etc) vs Native YouTube app on Roku.

Chromecast video quality is atrocious though. I have a Chromecast Ultra on my Roku TV (TCL 6-series QLED) considered to be a mid-range panel and has decent color accuracy, but on Chromecast all of it is out the window, the same video on the
