I mean TAA compliant computers exist already, even some manufactured in America:

Even specialized computers from defense contractors exist as well and have for a long time.

This might be good, particularly if it actually gets more kids in college to take up the manufacturing skills to build all the infrastructure to do it which would take a large public investment in education they would never ever do so coming from Trump/Luckey/Anduril I don't have much faith in any of it, this is just Neo-MIC slop imo.

You have 2 years.

There is absolutely a very simple way to enforce immigration without being racist, that's my point, this admin does it purposefully and is performative about it. They want to be racist and want their supporters to know that because that's what they voted for.

Again, if you don't want to called racist stop doing and saying racist stuff!

Wear-out failures aren't always different from infant mortality failures, though. If the defect is caused by a design flaw in a component resulting in a structural weak point, that same weak point could fail after one use or a thousand, and it could just be a ticking time bomb. Someone could get very unlucky and find one that is slightly weaker, and it could break much sooner.

Case in point, I recall a machine where some people would have to have their laptops replaced every couple of months for motherboard failures, while others lasted for years, and it turned out to be dependent on how people closed their laptops at the end of the day and whether they pressed on the bottom of the case in a particular spot that wiggled the GPU. But if you handed one that had been working for five years to someone who used their left hand under the laptop while closing it, it would be dead in two or three months. If you replaced it with a brand new one, the brand new one would be dead in two or three months. And so on.

It's the only thing holding up the stock market. Frankly I don't want it to burst because when the stock market collapses they're going to take it out of my hide and yours like they always do. If we want to survive that we need a democrat in the White House and Democrats in charge of Congress when it happens and frankly I think we all know that but we'll be damned if we're going to let those highfalutin Washington insiders tell us what to do right?

Also the AI bubble in America is being used to loot our 401ks so we've got a ways to go before it pops. There is 10 trillion dollars there ripe for the taking and the Epstein class will be damned if they let you have it just because it's yours.

Maybe putting an orange pedophile famous for bankrupting businesses and ties to the Russian mafia in charge of your financial future was a bad idea but I'm not an expert.

Then maybe we need actual immigration reform, something which has not been done in about 4 decades now.

Turns out not all citizens want to be truck drivers either, it's not an easy job! The issue is administrative, migrants who want to drive trucks should have a path to do so and do it safely.

I've dealt with hundreds of truck deliveries in my line of work with hundreds of different drivers of all walks of life. They deliver where dispatch tells them, if the BOL says rundown old gas station that's where it has to go. Sometimes that's where it actually is supposed to go!

Modern factories have a little or no jobs once they're built and they don't take all that long to build.

So this is completely irrelevant.

Exception that proves the rule, who did Perot end up helping? Clinton by draining off Republican voters and nobody has gotten close to that performance ever again. Her also did markedly worse in 1996.

And Bernie ran for President both time *as a Democrat* and did not do a 3rd party run because he understands this dynamic. Also Bernie caucuses with the Democrats and whoever runs in his place in VT will not be as an I, again, exception that proves the rule.

They are quite a bit better if you want a non-2-party-system, they are better if you want winners to be actual majorities and not simple pluralities, they are better if you don't want spoiler effects, if we don't want stupid vote splitting games to be played. I mean no system is perfect, they all have flaws but FPTP has major flaws.

I mean if you like the status quo then just defend that, it's a valid argument but I was responding to a person lamenting why people don't vote 3rd party in America, that's the answer whether you like it or not.

There are actually people who are paid to question the safety of vaccines: scientists and the FDA but you don't believe them because this isn't about science or safety, it's about political ideology. Accusations of people getting paid off only makes that point stronger.

I don't know if there a formal name for this but it's a common fallacy you see everywhere these days, "All Roads Lead to Rome", IE, the facts don't matter, the outcome is already decided. Facts not on my side? Obviously everyone was paid off!

Pro tip: You better get used to two-party systems, you're living in one!

Seriously, 3rd parties a total dead end in America and most, like our stupid AC here, who push them are doing so to sow distrust in one party (usually Democrats) to favor the other (Republicans) or just generally sow distrust in the system in general, usually form foreign actors (cough). Like every 4 years the Russians activate Jill Stein out of her hibernation pod.

Until America changes *how* we vote away from First-Past-The-Post then voting 3rd party is a fools errand, it only serves to assuage the vain egos of politically incoherent people. In a FPTP system a vote for a 3rd party is basically support for whoever the winner ends up being. Same for staying home instead of voting. That "Uncommitted Movement" only served to help Trump.

We have a process to hear and vote on a hugely varied group of candidates, they're called primaries and maybe if more than 30% of people voted in them we'd get candidates we like better.

Moving to Ranked Choice, Approval Voting, STAR voting, these are all much better systems of how to vote but until we get those 3rd parties are dead ends. The Libertarians are cooked, completely subsumed by MAGA and fascist chuds like LPNH and the Green Party is just a Russian Op at this point. The LP had the chance to shoot their shot in 2016 to get that 5% and they failed, completely. It's joever.

The winner in 2024 was doing to be the D or R. In 2028 it will be the D or R. Get used to it, stamping your feet and pouting won't change that. 2028 will be one of the rare times we will have 2 primaries, probably a field of 20+ people, plenty of varied choices, there's your chance.

Perhaps Chinese bubbles pop different than US bubbles?

New Apple slogan: "Pop Different!"

Apple does seem to suspect a bubble more than other big tech companies, they are taking it slower, letting others test the waters.

Correction: "After first the bots will look" should be "At first..."

Maybe there is a learning curve in switching between knowing what kind of mistakes humans make versus bots?

Somebody with say 10 years experience dealing with human mistakes will learn to spot problems and warning signs faster over time. If bots make different flavors of mistakes, then there will be a learning curve to get a feel for where and how bots tend to choke.

After first the bots will look like morons, but over time you'll realize they are just a different flavor of morons (compared to newbie or sloppy humans).

Reminds me of Trek episodes where it takes a while for the Trek crew to realize a species does things different, and adjust accordingly.

Fair assessment?

> you can instead write a plan into the repo and have it reference that.

I'd like to request clarification on this, perhaps a mini-example? Thanks.

> When I left, they wanted people to be Senior level before being people managers. But there were more senior level engineers than senior engineering managers...

The best techies aren't necessarily the best managers, as people tend to devote brain power to either things/concepts or people but not both. In rare cases one has both skills, but that's probably unrealistic to expect at scale such that they need to rethink the assumption of a path of rising thru the tech ranks and then shift to the management ranks. The best jugglers ain't the best runners and vice versa.
