I have observed a growing tendency for some individuals on the left to cite Karl Popper’s “Paradox of Tolerance” in ways that misrepresent its original intent, effectively suggesting that any stance short of full-throated radical leftism should be deemed fascistic. This reinterpretation goes beyond Popper’s caution about tolerating genuinely intolerant ideologies, instead using his argument as a blanket justification for shutting down or even endorsing violence against those deemed insufficiently progressive.

Last week a moderator on University of Oregon's subreddit was banned for pinning a message endorsing violence against conservatives on campus.

_9za9··on Trump Reveals U.S. 'Crypto Reserve'
Governments can absolutely try new approaches without it being a con job. If you think it’s a bad idea, show the economic flaws or security holes, just screaming “scam” doesn’t add much.

Yep, what you don't personally believe in is considered by you to be "not rational", got it.

Yes definitely failed when they were just brought on to a crypto reserve. You have anymore hot takes?

Tell me to exit my echo chamber as you post a liberal source for a liberal narrative, nice! Try finding factual statistics and report back, we will wait.

We are in 2025 now. DEI has been born and died since the administration you refer to, let alone there was no DOGE at that time. Have another hot take?

But I wonder who is president right now? What party controls both the House and the Senate?

No long report this time? You never changed my mind so all your words failed. You might want to work on increasing your argument ability or you waste your own time. Nothing you said convinces anyone that there is not a loophole in 2025.

You failed in the past election and Trump became president because millions of people disagree with your narrative, no matter how long of a report on hacker news that you write!

Good one!

Have you seen doge.gov? It is not just about firing the do-nothing remote federal workers.
_9za9··on Save Act would require all Americans prove citizenship when registering to vote
Sounds like a few hundred thousand children of undocumented immigrants becoming US Citizens every year is perfectly okay with you. Reality would say though that it has become an extreme loophole that current non-citizens are using to get their children into America as US Citizens. Times have changed!
_9za9··on Save Act would require all Americans prove citizenship when registering to vote
So you’re arguing that birthright citizenship isn’t a loophole because lawmakers in the 1800s discussed it? Great, but we’re in 2025, not 1868. A lot of U.S. citizens today don’t agree with handing out citizenship to 250,000–400,000 kids of undocumented immigrants every year, and pretending this debate was settled forever ignores reality. The Constitution is a living document, not a museum piece. If you’re looking for “agitation,” maybe start with the side clinging to 19th-century logic to justify modern mass migration.

The national debt ($36.22 T) is the total amount of outstanding borrowing by the U.S. Federal Government accumulated over the nation’s history.

Doge is doing what every other administration in history has failed to do.

Elon is the archetype of American ideals, not a shadow of Nazism. He's fundamentally redefining industries with SpaceX and Tesla, pushing forward on fronts like renewable energy and space travel. That's the embodiment of the American spirit; innovation, pushing human limits, creating jobs, and boosting the economy. State control and suppression are core to Nazi ideology, rather Elon is expanding what's possible for all of humanity. It’s misguided to mix up his contributions with those dark chapters of history. What he’s building is in line with the most cherished American values: freedom, progress, and bold individualism.
_9za9··on Save Act would require all Americans prove citizenship when registering to vote
It has nothing to do with US Citizens. According to estimates from the Pew Research Center and the Center for Migration Studies, roughly 250,000 to 400,000 children are born each year in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants, virtually all of whom receive citizenship at birth under the 14th Amendment. The underlying issue is the exploitation of a legal loophole that currently incentivizes unlawful entry and exploitation.

_9za9··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says everyone should get an AI tutor right away
I agree. I hesitate asking some important questions in class because of what others may think or say in response. I have been able to ask GPT all the 'stupid' questions with no social repercussions. I also notice that human tutors don't have much patience and if I don't understand the explanation that they give, which is often, then it is suggested through my own thoughts that I should stop trying to learn. GPT does not judge and I can ask it to clarify in ways that tutors are not able to, giving me the confidence to continue. I predict that students will all be assigned a personalized AI tutor in the future that their instructors will be able to parse in some way.

It seems people who are anti-AI must also be anti-learning to some degree; if you can't learn without AI then you don't deserve to learn!

Lots of people suggesting that double click here means to click the mouse twice quickly but I believe it refers to clicking submit (once), then clicking the pop up button (once), to get two total clicks.

The instructions would be to trace the walls and pressure fit it all in but I could add the step. It would increase the cost slightly. Insulation is a secondary to getting the shelter in the first place.
