Yeah they have no idea. And once the tariffs drive thosusands of businesses to sell or just close, there will be no going back to 2025 prices ever again, which they already think are high(lol).

Haven't tried Devin but have tried some of the others like Replit, Vercel, Bolt, etc and found them not useful. They are good at tricking you into thinking you're making progress but you're not because the output is not suitable for checking into any serious project without tons of extra work.

The display has a lot of blur too, pixel response is poor even compared to an LCD gaming monitor. Fortunately I mostly play on a TV at home.

With all sincerity, Elections Canada is a national treasure.

- Voting typically takes less than 15 minutes
- We make it easy for citizens to vote, without cumbersome registration hurdles
- We have every reason to trust that ballots will be counted fairly, and results reported swiftly

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

🧡 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The need for software to be constantly updated to stay securely and correctly doing what it was originally written to do is one of the most embarrassing failures of the whole industry imo. Also the whole reason static sites are the best when at all possible.

There’s just no plausible way you can describe the U.S. as a free country anymore.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save youβ€”so you might as well say what you really mean.

people are talking about how trump is stupid for confusing a trade deficit with a budget deficit, but the underlying issue is that everyone who demagogues about The Deficit is stupid

Absolutely dunk on this, but we should encourage right wing influencers publicly saying that Trump is fucking up.

If we win and win with a large enough margin, I want Democrats to not only recognize that these organizations legally exist, but I want them to strip Musk of his wealth to help pay for rebuilding it.

Find a way.

I completely agree with this, but there is a lot of work being put in to influence men to believe that masculinity means being mad about not getting everything handed to you.

I dunno, my whole life Americans have made a big deal about how willing they are to die for freedom. The reality appears to be they aren't even willing to be inconvenienced for freedom. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me.
