  • Rogan, Musk and an emboldened manosphere salute Trump’s win: ‘Let that sink in’

    跳过

  • You don't see the overlapping appeal? It's about authenticity - not policy. Bernie is as authentic as they come. If he's not running, the Libertarian party is a natural second choice - you have to be pretty sure of yourself to stand on a debate stage and argue for letting people die in the street. Trump had that same energy in this last campaign, so in hindsight I'm not surprised that he won over these people.

  • It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy

    跳过

  • I get the impression that Harris plans to drag out the war in Ukraine with continued US support while Trump plans to end it quickly by withholding support. That's a consequential difference as far as I'm concerned. If Trump were in charge now I expect we'd already be at war with Iran. Remember when he had Soleimani killed in 2020? I don't think he'd be nearly as reluctant about supporting Israel if he were in charge. I agree that Taiwan is a powder keg, but I'm not sure what we should be doing differently there - curious what you're getting at there.

  • Isn't Trump like super isolationist? Ask a Ukrainian who they prefer to win and I think they'll have a pretty consistent answer.

  • A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care

    跳过

  • I think I'm just sensitive because I'm pro-choice but constantly get painted as heartless and uncaring by my pro-life family. Viable or not, I feel something for these unborn things, just like my family - the only difference is that I don't prioritize my feelings over the rights of other people, nor do I shy away from the fact that abortions can be necessary and merciful. I am an ally in this fight, but if you're dismissing the miracle of life as nothing more than a medical condition, you're not helping the cause - to some extent you're a liability to those of us trying to actually win people over.

  • A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care

    跳过

  • I don't know why but "person" in quotations just rubs me the wrong way. I don't think we have to dismiss the value of an unborn life in order to support abortion - they're not mutually exclusive. In this case I would argue that there were two tragedies, one committed by "God" and the other by the state of Texas.

  • Americans’ Wages Are Higher Than They Have Ever Been, and Employment Is Near Its All-Time High

    跳过

  • I do find it interesting that the "actual" employment rate was 7% higher in 2000 than it is now. I get that we have an older population now, and proportionally more retirees as a result, but isn't that relevant to our economic health? Rather than patting ourselves on the back for doing a good job despite an aging population, shouldn't we be talking about how to turn this trend around? Italy, Japan, and China are about a generation ahead of us on this issue, and they're totally freaking out - maybe we should too.

  • Insurance is failing hurricane survivors: ‘People thought they were covered’

    跳过

  • Private insurance used to offer flood insurance like 100 years ago, but to stay in business they had to raise premiums to a point where no one could realistically afford it (which is to say that living in a flood zone is not financially feasible for most people). The government had to step in with their own flood insurance program, which was tied to regulation intending to minimize the risk of flooding in at-risk zones so that premiums could remain affordable. Even these measures haven't been sufficient to keep the program from running out of money, and we've been subsidizing it with taxpayer bailouts to keep it afloat.

    All this is to say that private insurance is literally incapable of insuring against flood damage, so you can't blame them for any of this. If you want to blame someone, blame Trump for rolling back standards that would have allowed FEMA to consider climate change in their risk models.

  • The Almighty Dollar: Did schools official rig bid to allow Trump to grift off taxpayers with his Bible?

    跳过

  • I'm torn. If our country ever goes back to normal, I'd love to be able to show my grandkids a Trump Bible 50 years from now. I like to think that they'd be shocked by the audacity of it - by the fact that a guy peddled something so blasphemous and still locked up the religious vote. But I know Trump is probably getting royalties on the sale, so I guess they'll just have to take my word for it.

  • Tim Walz says he's 'sick and tired' of prayers after Georgia school shooting

    跳过

  • I'm torn on this issue. I want the sort of gun control that you're describing, but I really don't know if it would be constitutional, and defying the constitution is a slippery slope that could cause more harm than even gun violence. The problem in my view is the second amendment itself - it's vague, outdated, and in desperate need of clarification. The fact that it deals with possession of technology but hasn't been updated in 250 years is insane.

    I'm with anyone calling for gun control, but we really ought to be demanding constitutional revision to address this issue.

  • Child rapist ex-cop’s 10-weekend US jail sentence called ‘epitome of injustice’

    跳过

  • My understanding is that there was no hard evidence and the witness did not wish to testify, so this was a plea deal to make him confess and give the victim closure. Still feels wrong given that he did confess, but if the alternative was no probation I guess this is better than nothing.

  • I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold

  • For thousands of years the ruling class has tolerated the rest of us because they needed us for labor and protection. We're approaching the first time in human history where this may no longer be the case. If any of us are invited to the AI utopia, I suspect it will only be to worship those who control it. I'm not sure what utility we'll have to offer beyond that. I doubt they'll keep us around just to collect UBI checks.

  • Let's do micro service

    跳过
    • Cloud providers have financial incentive to push microservice architectures
    • Cloud providers give corporate consultants statistics like "microservice architectures are proven to be X% more likely to succeed than monolithic architectures"
    • Cloud providers offer subscription-based tools and seminars to help companies transition to microservice architectures
    • Companies invest in these tools and seminars and mandate that all new projects adopt microservice architectures

    This is how it went down with Agile at my company 10 years ago, and some process certifications and database technologies before that. Based on what I'm hearing from upper management microservice are probably next.

  • Let's do micro service

    跳过

  • From my perspective the corporate obsession with microservices is a natural evolution from their ongoing obsession with Agile. One of the biggest consequences of Agile adoption I've seen has been the expectation of working prototypes within the first few months of development, even for large projects. For architects this could mean honing in on solutions in weeks that we would have had months to settle on in the past. Microservices are attractive in this context because they buy us flexibility without holding up development. Once we've identified the services that we'll need, we can get scrum teams off and running on those services while working alongside them to figure out how they all fit together. Few other architectures give us that kind of flexibility.

    All this is to say that if your current silver bullet introduces a unique set of problems, you shouldn't be surprised if the solutions to those problems start to also look like silver bullets.

  • Gaza Health Ministry says over 29,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel-Hamas war

    跳过

  • I've been trying to wrap my head around the unconditional support that the US has shown to Israel during this crisis. I understand why we must stand with our friends and allies. I understand that Israel has immense strategic value as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the Middle East. I understand our desire to support democracies in the region. I understand that they have a right to defend their people. I understand that our support is necessary to keep things from cascading further out of hand. But what I don't understand is how we can provide all this support and still have no leverage to ease the suffering of innocent Palestinians. Are we even capable of applying diplomatic pressure on Israel, or has our support become something more akin to an entitlement?

  • Biden vs. Trump: Do young climate voters care? The president who signed the biggest climate law in U.S. history has also angered environmentalists by approving fossil fuel projects.

    跳过

  • I was against drilling until Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia produces 10% of the global oil supply, so we can't really sanction them without impacting the global economy. We've been draining our strategic petroleum reserves since the war started, and while we might have enough saved up to get through the current crisis, I wouldn't blame the white house for wanting to increase domestic supply as a contingency - especially if this turns out to be just the first domino in a global conflict.
