If I’m given exciting work to do, and management reduces beurocracies and other blockers, I’ll work 60, 70, 80 hour weeks. If my job is as a glorified paper pusher because of bad procrssses/management I won’t. It’s a leaders job to mo

The past three years we have been with propaganda from both sides of this conflict. It’s a war. To point to one side and say that’s the side that’s lying is just more propaganda, it’s not a serious breakdown.

Can you explain more about being bamboozled? Bamboozled about what? Bush tried to convince us that Iraq was creating WMD’s when they weren’t, but left and right were pretty united at the time as a reaction to 9/11, like it wasn’t jus

So this is true, and if I piece apart what you’re saying, it’s that you think that liberal propaganda has turned people away from MAGA, convincing liberals of Trump’s inherent malevolence. But I have a different theory. I think that in thi

What a great observation, maybe he can convince someone in Government to do something about it.

I'm sure this is a very narrow use-case, but I've kinda wanted CI/CD for generating Ableton Live Albums

It's funny, I mean I don't know the exact divide between MAGA and trad Republicans, but the trad Republicans I know have been the ones to turn pro-Russia. There definitely seems to be a split in /r/conservative.

Not if he puts boots on the ground. Having a relative die in a foreign war focuses people’s attention real fast. They may blame Biden somehow but

This is a bit flippant, but maybe hacker/startup culture just moved from being applied to tech to being applied to politics? It seems like the technofeudalism promoted by some could apply a similar ethos.

I don't think that we're this far gone yet, but is there a chance the US sides with Putin in this case? I think it would be risky, and I don't _think_ Trump's base would go for it, but it does feel like the long term go

Yeah, I watched as much of the video as I could, and I can totally see this playing well with all the conservatives I know. JD Vance and Trump come off as strong, and Zelensky comes off as weak.

Unfortunately I think it plays well for their audience, makes Trump and Vance look strong, and makes Zelenksy look week.

I'm curious which way this will go since this is opinion is split in the current administration. If I had to guess, I'm guessing big tech will win, and h-1b will be protected/maximized.

Right, but what you are forgetting is, that in exchange for all the efficiency provided by a central government agency, millionaires with only 2 yachts will be able to leverage this private contract into enough money to buy a third yacht.

Areas with dense populations will be financially incentivized to generate their own storm warnings, and we'll save money on sparsely populated areas, so probably rather than spending money equally on tornadoes and hurricanes, we'l

What are the potential macroeconomic impacts of like increased financial scams. I assume maybe like most things, is that it can be good short term but bad long term? Like it depends how enmeshed things get and if we end up in a similar si

I’m not clear the distinction you’re making. Doesn’t coin base make more money is people think Crypto is real? Like rug pulls are relatively small potatoes for the big banks who could be making billions on fees if crypto is legitimized,

Do they want this though? R/cryptocurrency is not happy, and if you want crypto legitimacy; wasn’t part of the complaint of the crypto industry that the SEC was too slow to make rules?

This was a fun book. One story I remember from this book was that working a telegraph was a full time job. And there was a decent amount of downtime, so they had sort of their own subculture, chatting, playing chess over the wire, etc.

Marc Andreessen made a point in a recent interview that there used to be a contact that said that liberals used to support billionaires who made a bunch of money and then donated it to charity, but then the liberal establishment turned away

I wonder how much money they’re losing on it too even at those prices.

Ok, so I am curious, I’m not totally opposed to move fast and break things, but on a moving train? This may be one of those projects I’m ok with a little over time and over budget.

What do you mean by total control? He appointed the watchdogs he just fired. Do you literally want Trump like walking through every agency?

AI is so good it’s giving us a 30% productivity boost, but we can’t fine anyone to buy it. Also, how are they measuring productivity if not by some objective measure like increased revenue.

I don’t entirely disagree with you but this is a _very_ different world, that requires unraveling like everything about our modern society. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of overlap between RFK jr’s vision of the world, and the current
