Trump took the EU to the woodshed. They had to drop all of their protectionist tariffs they have against AmeriKKKan goods(I thought protectionism was ad?) and in return America puts a 15% tariff on all of theirs. Moreover they had to write a check to us for hundreds of billions. The tariffs will bring in a shit-ton of money. We can use this to replace the income tax and repeal it entirely.

The usual TDS sufferers are screaming it's a tax on AmeriKKKans but it's not. When's the last time an American bought anything made in Europe? I mean one of us, not the CA/NY American passport holders who write the media articles describing what happened.

Hey, I've got an idea - make things in America and there are no tariffs. It's weird but worth a shot, it could work.

On the contrary, it will have a ton of good effects. All DoS attacks will stop. Fraud will crash and stay there. Email spammers will go away. When alt-right trolls get banned, they will STAY banned. Forever. Imagine an internet without them. A boot stomping on 4chan's face, forever.

If eating more salads, drinking less beer, and jogging could fix their weight, most would do that

So you're going to tell me the laws of thermodynamics are BS? Eating less and exercising more absolutely COULD fix their weight. Many (most?) people just don't have the discipline to do so. Like it may actually require you feeling hungry and uncomfortable for a period of time, but you will lose weight, because physics/biology. For instance, if you ate zero calories for a few days, I can assure you, weight will go down, regardless of your "genes". Just because people don't have the willpower and fortitude to accept some short-term discomfort to achieve long-term success, don't try to pretend they're genetically immune to losing weight. It may be harder for them, or more uncomfortable to achieve success, but it's not impossible.

An unsuccessful petition to ban Detroit: Become Human from sale in Australia.

Detroit: Become Human? I played that -- there isn't anything even remotely titillating in that game. What an insane petition

This.

They'll all be gone in a few years. The market for these had already vanished before Airbus even started developing it.

This is going to fail bigtime. Nobody will move there for jobs. As a tech professional, I would rather eat glass than live in a flyover state. I have in-demand skills and I have zero desire to live in places that are small minded, lack immigrants, and lack interesting and rich culture. The tech sector is chock full of diverse immigrants and unique people who have no desire to live in a conformist mono-chromatic culture. Tech talents don't want to eat breakfast at the Waffle House.

Many people, including myself, know perfectly well what would happen when Washington, with then president Clinton, sold out the US industrial base to China in the 1990s. So fuck you and your "hindsight."

Do you realize you had an intrusive thought, wrote it down and started railing against something that nobody said? This is literally Trump Derangement Syndrome. Please, see a therapist. CBT does wonders for people in your situation. Don't suffer needlessly. It doesn't have to be like this.

They're not in the home gym business. They're in the data harvesting and selling business.

Your data is worth more than the profit margin on their exercise equipment.

This is the world now, and you cheered it on all the way.

Even Google won't allow you to watch random Youtube videos any more without "sign in to prove you're not a robot". Google, the original evil privacy rapist.

We got a solid ten years out of them before they went evil, I guess that's pretty good. LLMs are where Google used to be in the year 2000, an improvement on search engines that blow the existing products away. Remember how awful search engines used to be? Then Google delivered actual good results. Then they took away the + and - operators and started censoring politically inconvenient content by removing it or demoting it to page 137 of results.

Likewise on the "Sure." I don't share your view that 20% couldn't be achieved. The designs of all portable electronics today are based on the capabilities of an unlimited supply of cheap, disposable Asian hands. It is feasible to create designs suited to far greater automation.

The UN is in clear need of full US defunding. Make that building to rental lofts.

At last someone is willing to tell off the little people to their faces. It's heartening to see even in this day and age of open nullification of federal power in California and others that someone supports the US government. You tell those deplorables how it is! Speak truth to the powerless!

The curriculum no longer teaches these dead white European men. In their place are Ibram X. Kendi and Gloria Steinem. Kids want to study scholars who look like them. Not pale, male and stale. "Sorry submitted by alternative_right. Oh , I see. Slashdot made the jump to full national socialist. Jew rape gangs, am I right? And Israel is racist apartheid state. Anything else to add,natzees? I thought your only book of philosophy besides the Bible was My Struggle by that failed Australian painter.

Yes, super hero fatigue is real.

The success of the recent Superman appears to prove you wrong. Tell a good story and people will go to see it. It's not super hero fatigue that's real...it's that the storywriting has suffered, and they're pulling from deeper B and C list superheroes that don't have the same kind of appeal.

This is coming from RISC-V SOC developers, and there are a number of those. They need something to boot and run that has a complete set of packages+infrastructure. It's great that Debian is the go-to distro for much of this, as opposed to a fragmented mess of proprietary dead ends.

There is a lot of new RISC-V silicon appearing or about to arrive. Tenstorrent Ascalon is one I'm looking forward to: by this time next year, Jim Keller intends to have a RV64 chip that is competitive with server grade ARM devices.
