Guantanamo is Trump’s Dachau.

What kind of shoddy shoes get ruined if you walk around a stadium with them?

But they already did that to target ads. Someone found a way to repackage an existing feature for their performance review?

Nothing screams conservative values like raiding a church /s

His role seems to be more like a prime minister, and in the absence of a constitutional framework he’s usurping any and all forms of control over the executive. It’s not uncommon for dictatorships to adopt nominally semi-presidential systems with a very weak head of state whose only role is to distract the people.

In working democracies that’s how it’s supposed to work. That’s why it’s called opposition not obstruction.

The balance to this is that all parties should be responsible while in the opposition and the party in government shouldn’t try to reform the state according to medieval principles. And this is why American democracy is broken.

Except in this case everyone just got a good look at what’s inside the container, and it’s mostly Nazism.

They are also amazing at generating configuration that’s subtly wrong.

For example, if the bad LLM generated configurations I caught during pull requests reviews are any example, there are plenty of people with less experienced teams running broken kubernetes deployments.

Now, to be fair, inexperienced people would make similar mistakes, but inexperienced people are capable of learning with their mistakes.

The road to the holocaust included selling armbands with the swastika too. But that wasn’t even the point I was making.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret, large companies are not run by shareholders and management, they are run by the workers, even if they don’t realise it.

“Just following orders”

Regulating rounding seems like something that needs to be done with a proper law, not an executive act.

So I’m 99% sure he just stopped production and he and his sycophantic merry band didn’t think about the consequences.

The fact they are still Shopify employees at this point is comment enough.

The main clue is that in reality Trump has no clue about what an atomic symbol is.

Aluminum is going to change its atomic symbol to Al and the UK - great country, very bad prime minister - is going to name their aluminum “aluminium” to distinguish it from the great high-IQ American metal. I’m suspending the tariffs for 2 years and one and two half days. I’m a biggly stable genius.

How many hours until he cancels these ones too?

Memory safety at the expense of complicated interfaces is also not a good trade-off, even in terms of security.

Finally an advantage to half of the congress being older than sliced bread. Hopefully enough of them remember on a personal level what polio does.
