Gen X broke hard for Trump. Few in that generation agree with any of the culture nonsense the current Dems support. She couldn't give us her opinion on taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgery for illegal aliens in prison? Come on, hard pass. Millenials keep dems afloat at this point.
Agree. Higher prices are a known predictable consequence and could be reversed by removing the tariff. You can't change a policy like that and immediately end inflation, that's an entirely different thing.
I didn't hear that it would lower prices and don't expect it to. I expect to pay a lot more for everything as we re-build our supply chains not to include countries that throw all their Muslims in concentration camps and steal IP. I expect business that aren't viable without slave labor to cease to exist for the benefit of humanity and that the cost will be very high.
During the great depression all government benefits had a work requirement with very few exceptions such as physical disability. Once that work requirement was removed, many take the path of just getting by on minimum benefits and not working.
What many heard the Democrats say was that if you oppose their policies you're not only dumb, you're also a racist, misogynist, fascist, nazi, and a threat to democracy.
I don't think they do and even if I'm wrong I think it's just not practical and will never happen as it's too complicated for the majority of voters. Citizens are never all going to be economists and scientists capable of analyzing these issues as experts. This is the role of government. If voters make the wrong decision and the problem is not solved by who they voted for, their remedy is to vote for someone else next time.
Whatever measures are used to portray the economy as great(it's not just the stock market) or unemployment is down do not match with the impact people feel in their own lives. Maybe they aren't lies, but they aren't accurate either. Massive layoffs in our industry and a glut of H1Bs still hanging around are a problem for an American job seeker in this industry and we'll look out for our interests despite what we're told.
Is allowing people to follow an active investment strategy in various markets also a mistake? I understand the need for CME weather futures contracts for a farmer, but anyone is allowed to do this. Hedge funds have rules regarding who can participate.
The first generation of open source devs did it for fun and ideological reasons. Back then, before any of the big tech companies even existed (except Microsoft, who was widely hated) software was not a highly paid profession, more in line with being a CPA, so people looking to maximize their earning potential weren't in the field at all. Those people did finance back then.
She didn't write her book alone. Her partners were amazing. The result speaks for itself really. Anyone would be a better cook having read it and learned the fundamentals. Bridges a gap between French and American culture that benefits an American reader. Several recipes are 'best-of' for me. I have too many chickens so quiche is a staple at my house and I've tried so many recipes, but her's are my go to always. Even the book itself is beautiful, right down to the layout and font.
Treating it like an R&D investment isn't a problem - you only spend what you can afford to lose on R&D. In our case, we have no R&D budget and any money/time spent playing around with llm's leads directly to degradation of the core product and risks losing customers.
CEO where I work is driving this push - he's got enough stupid, uncreative, and trend-following ideas without the influence of a board. He came from a sales background and I don't think those guys can resist this. It's not going well either - just had a major customers board of governance kill a deal for our ridiculous llm toy. So glad I never exercised my options.
I think there are some labor board requirements to report layoffs? Maybe that could be used. Could implement some rule where you can't do layoffs at all while employing visa holders. No way that an industry going through massive layoffs needs to bring in people on visas while unemployed citizens can't get hired.
The scaling thing is a great boogeyman. It preys on this optimism your software is going to be so successful in such a short amount of time which people want to believe.
Yes, both of these would be in my top ten hall of fame software books. Bought both very early on in my career and they put me so far ahead of my peers.
The existence of the government communications with the social media companies requesting suppression of content are referenced in the courts opinions. The Biden admin also admits to these communications. https://rollcall.com/2024/06/26/supreme-court-rejects-lawsui...
Are you saying Zuck is lying and the government did not do what he's saying they did? In Twitter's case, there are emails from Adam Schiff - do you think that evidence is fraudulent?
The only definition the government should be involved in censoring would be one that is illegal and in that case they can get their lawyers and proceed with an indictment. Anything else is just propaganda.
I was around when it started and at that time it was ideological, ala Stallman. Those participating were some of the best programmers that have ever lived. Much later college students got involved and their motivations were totally different - they were looking to do something that would help them land a job, build a reputation, or make money.
