Trump's obsession with tariffs dates back to 1988 when he lost an auction for the piano from the movie Casablanca to a Japanese buyer. Afterwards, he started complaining about how all these other countries are ripping America off, and

And don’t forget the US’s own automated foreclosure schemes where banks automatically and fraudulently foreclosed on homeowners in good standing, literally stealing their houses and ruining their lives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org

It’s pretty cool that the ruling class’s big solution to all problems is now to build a machine god.

Getting rid of de minimus exemptions made it impossible to assess duty on the volume of packages coming in. So they just won’t accept packages at all.

Most people I’ve seen are going on about either 1) the novelty of talking to entirely new people, which is a relative rarity since the early, heady days of MySpace when social media was new and gardens felt much less walled. For Gen Z, it m

I’m not trying to pick on you specifically but that is precisely the kind of neoliberal thinking that has caused such rot in the US (and more broadly, western) military. Is spending a lot of money the goal or the measurement here? If your g

Same. GitLab CI isn’t perfect, but it is quite excellent and GitHub seems very rudimentary in comparison. At my job we’ve been using GitLab CI for a few years now. We did an analysis of what it would take to move to GitHub and the answer wa

Endlessly courting Republicans who’ll never vote for them, having an empty platform and delivering nothing in four years, and (as the article mentions to its credit) their full-throated support of genocide did it. Why sell yourself out for

No one forced them to write a comment without reading the article. And it’s not a small point that the author corrected them on; multiple paragraphs addressed thoughts like archiving to make searching old things intentional, and soft delete

How about 80x markup vs commercial airliner soap dispenser? The article states that Federal acquisition policy is to “only” pay a 25% markup vs commercial alternatives, which means we’re not talking about things that are exclusively militar

It’s definitely not a parody. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS_PAY It seems to be (or proposes to be, I can’t figure out if it really exists yet) based on “distributed ledgers” and “blockchain” so I’m pretty skept

These companies exist as capitalist organizations, they don’t build planes and chips out of patriotic noblesse, they do it to turn a profit. In such a system, failed companies go out of business. It really is that simple, anything else lead

The explosive used was PETN which is very difficult to make and very difficult to detect. You pretty much need a spectroscope. Generally airports and ports are set up for detecting things like explosives you cooked up yourself or stolen min

proc0’s concern was “trusting the results” an election and how this law would impact that. I addressed it in multiple ways: 1. I pointed out that the original concern r.e. provisional ballots is unrelated to this law. 2. I also pointed out

Oh HELL yeah dude, now you’re talking my language. If we’re talking about how much faith we should have in our electoral process, “extremely skeptical at best” is a charitable position. But penny-ante voter fraud is a distraction; incidents

Nothing in the linked article backs up the implication that only members of Helbollah’s militant wing had these. It did, however, mention that an 8 year old girl was killed by one of them. Which is a foreseeable consequence of widely distri

Turning Elon Musk into the richest person on earth was a US government project on the same kind of scale as the TVA and Apollo program. It’s actually kinda funny when you think about it.

These NDAs are backed with extremely onerous jail sentences, which is IMO a meaningful distinction vs. other types of NDAs. Beyond that, all your paperwork to get that clearance is in the government’s hands now. In my case that included a f
