The FTC only made the cuts because of DOGE decisions. So then saying they are lacking staff is confirmation that DOGE is making a lot of short sighted and short term decisions.

I suppose one thing that is becoming clear, thanks to DOGE, is that successively running a country is a lot more labour intensive than some people think it is.

At this point I am not sure whether there will be a functional government in 3 months? Either way the NASA cuts will make Roscosmos look in better shape. Thank you Musk and Krasnov.

The NPM site needs to improve and do a bit in terms of quality control. My items:

  - Preventing publishing packages with no linked website or README.md
  - Prevent duplicate packages which are just referring to the same GitHub repo (currently they don't seem to care)

From my experience the Fire Store was rife with fraudulent and unvetted apps. There was little evidence Amazon was doing any quality control or checking that downloaded apps actually matched their description.

While apps stores do typically take a 30% cut, this in part goes to running the store and keeping apps honest. And it is still less than a brick and mortar store would ask for.

Should we ask if we can use data on him, his family and friends as a test data set?

If a Windows install is just being used for games, maybe it is time explore SteamOS?

People use their tablets as laptops when combined with a keyboard.

Now makes we wonder whether "ghost authors" would be treated as humans for this certification? Quite honestly, I'd prefer they had their own separate certification.

This feels symptomatic of many US businesses. They'd rather lobby the government than embrace necessary change. This leads the country as a whole to place where businesses are protected by the government, but are incapable of competing effectively beyond internationally. There are exceptions, but shareholders have been making businesses chase the wrong priorities.

Its only calling the shots because the US's lack of involvement give China free reign. Very much like how the non-voting Americans opened the door to Trump.

In the mean time the US will hurt and heâ(TM)ll do little to address the economic woes of those who voted for him?

I've seen over on Reddit some people indicating they are cancelling their Prime membership, since they believe they won't be getting Amazon Prime delivery promises respected with this change. They believe that overnight will go away. I have no idea what the reality will be, but unless Amazon looks to respond to those concerns, they may lose more Amazon Prime customers.

Which ever country he decides to be the bogeyman, rather than being honest. Itâ(TM)s not about what makes sense, but what keeps in control of his followers.

The more crazy actions we see here, the more we will see China and Russia fill in the gaps. This is nothing about making America (the US) great again, and all about destroying its legacy. Former presidents and veterans must be rolling their graves.

Could websites not simply provide strong checksum to resources, as a way of identifying if a piece of content is the same? Then the caching is simply done with file checksum? I'm sure someone has thought about this, so not sure why this is not being used?
