i like turtles.

  1. Is agreeing with an adversary on a single point the same as praising them?
  2. I believe the point here is to evaluate if we're cool with how we treated our kids being part of our legacy.
  3. I can't wait to hear stories from Linus' kid's childhoods.
  4. It goes back to the core issue: which nations have the moral right to tell others how to conduct domestic policy.
  5. I believe Russia signed over those rights voluntarily on Ukrainian independence.
  6. You’re not wrong about the motives, but others are:

    The U.S. has all the oil it needs right now.

    The message from the U.S. to the world is: don’t nationalize our businesses infrastructure and then use it against our interests (even if they are on your sovereign territory) - we do not forgive and we do not forget.

  7. I wonder if you would defend Trump for the same actions, and also don’t forget ‘dismantling free press’ in Hugo’s list of accomplishments.
  8. Charlie’s will explains their mindset:

  9. I believe open source is about the law. Software is one way it can be applied.
  10. So is "non-traditional reserve currencies" cryptocurrency or not?
  11. The ultimate "trust me bro".

    > Potential buyers and others warned against the idea.

    > ... [the] Walkers froze salaries for several years amid the difficulties.

    > [the CEO] wanted to do something good. He also worried about going to a local grocery store and feeling ashamed he hadn’t shared his windfall.

  12. Those issues are not unique to the US.
  13. The US would be better off every American did attempt to expatriate.

    In my own experience, I quickly saw and stared to miss the many strengths of our way of life.

    For the curious about which country it was, see my username.

  14. Is your reasoning for your opinion that he didn’t preface his opinion as “in my opinion”?

    His words read the same as any editorial I’ve seen.

  15. They are of the industry formerly known as “Big Data” or “data science.”

    They think hard about how to collect and make use of, what most would describe as, grains of sand.

    A common use case for their data is figuring out for a government who they should kill that week.

  16. Right. He also went long on Lulu Lemon. Where’s the undervaluation thesis on yoga pants?
  17. Hey it’s at least 8 days of actual profit, ok? /s
  18. They are talking about 1850 - 1890, not 1950 - 1990.
  19. It worked for Hitler.
  20. To all those saying “China can make stuff and the US cannot”: it seems like the “robots” are really coming to both economies in the next decade, and they’re going to put more Chinese human labor out of work than US labor due to the sheer scale of China’s labor force.

    With hundreds of millions of dudes out of work, I don’t think “good” things are going to happen with regards to East-Asian political stability.

  21. It’s kind of a dumb premise. Anyone can get the leadership or the management treatment as described here - if just depends if the leader/manager likes what you’re doing.

    I have stuck my neck out of underperforming employees and was quickly disincentivized.

  22. I get scam calls with Google in the caller ID everyday.

    It kinda sucks that in 2025, voice calls are now near-zero trust.

    Is there really no velocity behind any open/consortium replacement to traditional voice calls?

  23. The risk of not syncing — when you lose/reset your phone, so does your OTP app. If you don't have backup codes saved, you're cooked.
  24. Not OS or local, but just try ChatGPT Voice Conversation mode. To my ears, it's a generation ahead of these VibeVoice samples.
  25. Interesting because he also tried to kill Xbox internally before it was an initiative.
  26. of course he has more power, but at this point, he's earned it.

    and also, it wasn't enough to "win" against a den-of-wolves place filled with power-players like meta.
