But the OP says the 32GB was "Not used. Not allocated. Leaked." It's a little hard to parse, but if true, then maybe the actual effect is truly negligible.

You can add how they've recently reclassified transgenerism (ne gender dysphoria) to the reasons why people have lost trust in the mainstream medical/psychological profession, as well.

Psychology has always been prone to un-scientific activities, but it's become increasingly bad with the wanton politicization of diagnostic standards, on top of the un-scientific approach employed in making most individual diagnosis.

So, how does anyone enter the workforce?

Fantastic - exactly what I have always not wanted! Fingerprints on my screen!

One reason for quarterly reporting is that it gives greater transparency and insight into how a business actually works. Many businesses are seasonal. Most obviously, virtually all retail has its best quarter at the end of the calendar year. But many other types of businesses have key cycles each year that are tied to, for example, the buying habits of their largest customers. Suppliers matter, too; if farms have a bad quarter due to weather or other factors, for example, you're going to want to watch how that impacts food producers somewhere down the line.

WWW now stands for Woke White Women, apparently.

They've done this with every meaningful cultural and corporate heritage item in our world. It's disgusting.

You don't honor the heritage of a people by removing all symbolic representations of that culture from public life. The Spartans and Centurions were millennia ago but still have strong, important cultural imagery for today: the same is true of the Apache. The apache were known for being mobile and adaptable, which arguably is something very true of the Apache foundation.

Removing these imageries results in a symbolically empty, culturally irreverent pastiche. Who was it that said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”?

This is no different than the wanton destruction of ancient sculptures and art by ignorant tribesmen because it offends their sensibilities.

Right, that has nothing at all to do with this exception.

shakycam was an abomination, a hallmark of a lack of artistic skill, in cinematographically filmmaking. I hate The Gladiator for introducing it, it's made a decade+ of films almost unwatchable for anything remotely artistic.

It's amazing how many of you are responding out of emotional vitriol without even understanding import tariffs work in this case. The article rage baited you all.

This isn't going to put prices through the roof on anything but temu and similar direct-ship sites. Even most amazon-associated warehousers will be unimpacted: they were already shipping in such volumes the 'free' shipping was almost meaningless. It was an exception for - mostly - small trinkets. Raising the amount to $800 didn't matter much - items that really cost $500 were just having a declared value of much less (likely closer to the foreign purchase price).

You'll still be able to buy cheap trinkets and electronics. Amazon has competitively extinguished all but about 20% of online commerce outside their site.

More importantly... this will also impact all the illicit pharma people have figured out they could buy from eg. India at a drastically lower price than is available domestically. That's the bigger problem, as there's no other viable alternative for many people.

Though wasn't there something else crazy going on about pharma prices being globally leveled under threat of Trump? I know there was some sort of insane cutback in... Medicaid? Or Medicare? Hard to keep track of it all.

Well, somebody recommended them to me. At high doses, too.

I remember hearing, years ago, that the EU no longer recommends beta blockers as a first-line treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure) for a similar reason: They don't seem to do anything. Sure, they lower your blood pressure numbers, but (as I recall) the meta-study showed no appreciable difference in outcomes. That is, people who received beta blockers experienced the same number of heart attacks, strokes, and other hypertension-related problems as the group that didn't take them.

/. used to have a Monty Python rabbit icon. Wonder why that wasn't used.

Real question: What would be the point of that? Even hoarded gold would have no value if nobody but a select group of people could do anything with it.

This country's government is designed to have checks and balances on power. Congress isn't supposed to rubber-stamp every suggestion the President makes about spending -- they're the ones in charge of those decisions. Judges, particularly at the highest levels, aren't supposed to be partisan stooges; they're supposed to follow the law, but that doesn't seem to be what we have now. Nobody outside of the executive seems to want to exert their power, for fear of losing it. Apparently, it's enough to be able to claim having it.
