I find it as yet another way to externalize costs: I spend 0 time thinking, I dump AI slop on you and ask you to review it or refute me with the nonsense that I just sent you. Last time someone did this to me I sent them a few other answers

CamelCamelCamel records the prices over time of items in Amazon. It's helpful because they fluctuate quite a bit, so you can tell when you might be overpaying. In any case, that can be the database of record for the tariff effects if A

Maybe a bit of a chicken or egg problem? I don’t know enough about Joann, but I remember when borders closed and B&N went almost too. At the time, these stores had become a bore. Only peddling bill O’Reilly and Hillary Clinton’s books.

A key difference is that twitter has (had) users, and users can move to e.g. bluesky once twitter's CEO decides to wreck it. The US has citizens instead, not users, not customers, but citizens, and citizens can't move if they don&

Agreed, but part of the reason I think people are not aware of what’s going on is that we’re not calling things for what they are, in a weird and self-imposed Orwellian way. Like calling a rocket that blows up “unexpected rapid disassembly

> I'm also not convinced this is a "security breach." They're being allowed to do it. It's more like an unforced error, if anything. Not that it changes anything material about the situation. From the perspective

Don’t put words in my mouth. I am not advocating in violence. I never have.

People seem to think that: 1. Auto-coups don't exist 2. Coups require tanks on the street 3. Once a coup is started it will succeed. This is a an auto-coup, where the president is trying to seize power that is not granted by elections,

A military coup is a kind of coup, but not the only kind. This one, for example, is an auto-coup. Many coups don't look like one at first.

I value the hard stance on stability and backwards compatibility over the constant churn that some JS libraries/frameworks have. I understand the need both approaches, but this is a breath of fresh air. I also happen to think that most

I have two data points for unschooling, my two children. After a foray in public school in SF, we decided to take one kid out at first, and the other one a year later, the older in 3rd grade, and the younger in 2nd grade. We unschooled them
