As for the visa, it's not surprising and obviously idiotic for the society, but from the 'merit' standpoints it feels about right - if somebody has 10M followers, it's not that different from a radio or tv star.
They way the current administration act, I start to think that their plan A is to stay for a long long time. There is so much open corruption that half of them would land in prison really quickly and they don't seem particularly bothered by that fact.
What's really crazy (even by today's US standards) is how Trump and his clique speak as if he annexed Venezuela and he can do whatever he wants.
It was discussed 100 times here already, but the damage to the myth of US as the 'good guy' that is immense. I personally see the US now, as the same that say China or Russia and have no intention of going there again, unless absolutely necessary. If you told me that some years ago, I would think you're crazy.
However, we're not living in normal times. US is speed running the book to become a dictatorship, or probably worse. And it's in no small part thanks to the tech community, which HN is all about.
Recent story about how Grok is used to produce naked pictures of any women or girl, including young kids, was killed very quickly on HN. I feel like a lot of people working in tech should take a good look in the mirror.
I don't get the 'For decades we've been misled' though - what guidance prioritiezed highly processed food ? From the look on both pyramids, they pretty much recommend the same things, in different proportions (more proteins now, less carbs) - but I don't think any reasonable guidance promoted highly processed sweet carbs before.
He and his family, they always disregarded the law, but for guys like Marco Rubio ? He knows damn well the consequences of what they are doing and at some point they will need to pay for it, once they loose an election. Will he argue that he was just obeying orders, trying to limit the damage etc ?
Although I do agree, that in war only the final outcome is important. It's just that in this case it failed not necessarily because of technology, but because of humans.
From what I remember reading, they were able to gain air dominance not because Iranian air-defense was bad, but because it was put almost completely out of service for a brief period of time by people on the ground - be it through sabotage, cyber-warfare, drone attacks from inside, allowing the Israeli jets to annihilate them.
It won't happen, but I wonder what could the US possibly do about it.
This is similar to why one needs to keep an eye on todlers. 99% they are fine, but that 1% of time they will do something very dangerous.

They only can test with a driver for now. Can you take a ride in this Robotaxi and film it, so we can all see ?
I'm always very curious about why people argue some obvious lies like that about Tesla. Invested ? Paid shills ? Just Musk distortion field ?
His personal life is much more complicated though - impossible to know if he was happy or not, but for sure it was not usual.
In any case, just know that a lot of people struggle with it - much much more than you could imagine. It's worth trying to fix it though.
Good luck !
The reality is they announced that as a pipe dream. Just like the FSD, Robotaxi, Optimus and 10 other projects that will never work - or more precisely, they will work but >10 years from now, and it won't be from Tesla but from a competitor.

It was only once he realized that he has been duped and those will never materialize that the coverage turned negative.
AI bubble will start to pop (even though the adoption continues to improve slowly).
US / Europe separation will accelerate.
EDIT: For the first 2 - it's the 3rd year I'm thinking it will be 'the' year...
Any feedback from people using it already ? Is this the right moment to jump in, or better wait a year or two ?
One example of a company offering something like that: https://www.enyx.com/
It highly depends on what you're doing, but in trading there is very often a direct reliationship between latency and how much money you can make.
“Peace is a precious and a desirable thing. Our generation, bloodied in wars, certainly deserves peace. But peace, like almost all things of this world, has its price, a high but a measurable one. We in Poland do not know the concept of peace at any price. There is only one thing in the lives of men, nations and countries that is without price. That thing is honor.”
As it turned out, Poland paid a very heavy price. But we're damn proud of it.
The second time however, he learned his lesson. He's still a clown but he put his people, ranked by loyalty above anything else, in all key position. They are all knee deep in probably the most obvious and manifest corruption we've ever seen in a Western country. They won't oppose him in any way unless they are sure he's dead or gone forever.
