  • Well that didn't age well, did it.

  • Democrats decry ‘sham for justice’ after prosecutors drop Trump charges

    Jump

  • Democrats fear Trump will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

    No, it's not a fear. It's an acknowledgement of exactly what he has said he will do:

    Trump has said repeatedly he will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

  • Gaetz ethics report should stay sealed because he's a "private citizen," says House Speaker Johnson

  • He almost turns me into a believer because it seems the only place these fuckers might face any consequences would be hell itself.

  • Elon Musk is pissing off everyone on Trump’s team

  • Please fire him. Preferably into the sun, but I'll accept simply out of any position in government.

  • It's shocking to me that I recognize every person on this diagram except for the very center.

  • WikiLambda, backend for Wikifunctions, rewrites itself from Node.js (!!) to Rust

  • Calculating the digits of pi seems like a poor benchmark for comparing various languages in the context of backend web application performance. Even the GitHub readme points out the benchmark is entirely focused on floating point performance.

  • Yes, it's equally as unrealistic as leaving money idle for 532 yrs.

    The only point I was making was that multiplying $5,000 a day by so many years is a silly comparison as it ignores the dominating factors to building wealth.

    Billionaires shouldn't exist but also they don't exist because they stuff X dollars under their mattress every day.

  • Not really with that amount of time. Suppose you put away $1,000 a year for 532 years, at 3% you still end up with $225 billion.

    The deposits are completely dwarfed by the compounding interest. If you only start with $1,000 and add nothing else but let that original $1,000 compound at 4% you'll have over $1 trillion.

  • Yeah, I had to go down to 3% for it to even make sense.

  • But if you made just 3% interest on your money as you deposit $1,825,000 annually, over 532 years, you'd end up having $410 trillion dollars or more than 2,000 bezos.

  • Netflix has closed its AAA gaming studio

    Jump

  • If only this meant the removal of the annoying tiles for games that show up in the app above everything else (often using up the entire screen) even though I've never tapped on them once.

    I don't want your games Netflix. I barely want your shows.

  • It's a matter of perspective

  • What? The first ordinal you start counting at doesn't change the total count, and alternatively the last item would be indexed at 2 if you used 0-based indexing.

  • Rectangular prisms have 6 sides though.

  • A third of Americans agree with Trump that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ of US

    Jump

  • I searched for the actual question text and found:

    Q19a. The immigrants entering the country illegally today are poisoning the blood of our country.

    The split was 14% completely agreed and 20% mostly agreed.

    I'm not as surprised by the results as the headline would have suggested because of the use of the word illegally. It biases the question negatively.

    The 20% who mostly agreed may have agreed with some negative connotation surrounding illegal immigration while ignoring the racism of "poisoning the blood." In other words, if I put myself in the shoes of someone who feels strongly about securing the border, I could understand how those respondents would lean towards agree simply because of the use of the word "illegal."

    To further support this interpretation: In the same survey, more than 40% of respondents favor or strongly favor building a wall along the US-Mexico border.

    Maybe I'm just optimistic that only around an eighth of the country is completely crazy and that is just a less clickbaity title.

  • Biden says he's concerned 2024 election won't be 'peaceful' after Trump, Vance comments

  • Time for an official act?

  • This man is a parody of himself

  • The younger version of yourself displayed by the mirror is kissing the older version of yourself in front of the mirror, so I suppose you're both correct. Unless you're a photon.

  • Trump Promises 'Very Large Faucet' Will Funnel Water from Oregon to Los Angeles

    Jump

  • No it's the faucet across from the toilet he has to flush ten, sometimes fifteen times, which is also where he got this idea.

  • Probably the best idea I guess as long as you can set the TV up without Internet.

  • I'm pretty happy with Chromecast currently for its simplicity. I meant to try and replace the TV firmware so it's more or less a dumb TV that just displays its inputs without having ads and other gimmicks.
