So you're saying MAGA has "normal" empathy then? God help us.

> The fact that this outcome is surprising represents a very loud and public failure on the administration's part.

True but unfortunately there are enough dumb people in the US to vote them in again so it doesn't matter.

   "Mythos5, make a presentation about X,Y,Z with nice and meaningful transitions"
The only way this could possibly produce acceptable output is if nobody was going to care or pay attention to your presentation in the first place.

In this context good faith means not saying you're here to negotiate only to stall for time while you're secretly planning to invade the other country in the background, which is exactly what the US did. So Iran has no reason to take US "negotiations" seriously ever again.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. That comment was clearly implying Indians ruined MS.

Pretty sure this is correct. You only notice it when it comes right out of the top. Other days it may be 25%, 50%, or 75% of the way up. And that's still bad for your oesophagus over the long term. My dad got cancer right at the bottom and one potential cause was chronic acid reflux (GERD leading to Barrett's eosophagus).

But there were no organisational problems according to Jack. Also do you really believe Block has reached peak productivity? Does any company ever reach it?

The quantity of devs is not changing though. If AI really makes the existing devs more productive then the plateau should become higher.

You may have a good point but this shows how badly America's reputation has been damaged: it's now viewed as much worse than China.

Just to clarify: Trump didn't do worse than Maduro (he got stopped) but he did do much worse than "ignore the election results" in that he actively tried to overturn the results.

Trump himself did much worse in 2020.

It's possible to imagine all kinds of fantastical explanations but usually the simplest one is the correct one: Trump is receiving bags of money for the pardon. Also bolstered by his past (and ongoing) behaviour of openly and shamelessly enriching himself at every opportunity.

So many discoveries only find an application decades later. If you stop persuing knowledge purely for its own sake you will never again be able to compete with countries that are serious about science and you will never again live up to your past achievements.

From the perspective of somebody outside the US it really is a shocking tragedy what the Republicans have done to what used to be the greatest country in the world. I hope you can manage to right the ship soon because I fear it may already be too late.

Every country in the world is severely affected by Trump's reversal of climate change policy.

Yes they reacted, but only after they got called out on it [1].

Before that, for years, they knew exactly what they were doing when they gave apps access to their users' friends. And it must've been obvious to them throughout how such abuse could be executed. Yet they didn't try very hard at all to prevent it.
