Why are tariffs the tool? Why now? Why disrupt anything for the benefit of corporations and their… thousand(s?) of workers? Unemployment is quite low already, and as far as I know manufacturing has been largely leaving the US for what I assume are economic reasons that will persist longer than the tariffs.
Why not laws requiring ethical sourcing of materials and labor if ethics is your concern?
I mean let’s think this through. Say it costs many millions, billions even, to create new manufacturing plants for any of the major players. It will take probably years to complete and on top of that US workers have much stronger protections than most of the world with significantly higher labor costs to boot. consumers would immediately pay more because of the tariffs, and then even if the “protectionism” works, we’re still paying more, even if it’s to US workers and companies. This isn’t even to mention that the taxpayer is likely going to foot the bill for construction of new factories as they’ve done with Intel etc.
i’m struggling to see any merits to this idea. Can you elaborate?
but is it a sphere 🤔
you’re inspiring me with the trackball. i’m on mac for work though, so i have a trackpad between my halves for gestures… maybe one day
Great read. Though, this is an old white man thing to say:
When I was a kid, police officers were our friends. When I was a reporter, they were men who surfed and played in bands when they were younger. They were not out to ruin your day, or your life. They enforced the law with a sound sense of context.
I wonder how his experience would differ if he was a minority.
That is not mutually exclusive
Not to mention US manufacturing is significantly more expensive because we mostly outlaw slave labor. Either way the poors get hurt and the trumpets get to lap up whatever runs down Dolan’s leg as a consolation.
Curious for your take on Confederate statues in the US
I mean “didn’t care enough” == pay an entire separate dev team to develop for potentially each OS (at least windows probably) in languages unfamiliar to the web team. Then separately maintain that desktop app in perpetuity while the backend changes and drifts. This all for a vanishingly small subset of the userbase that could have used the website with identical functionality. It’s a similar issue with mobile apps.
I fully see the appeal of electron apps even if it’s not perfectly native feeling. I mean vscode is pretty universally liked n that’s electron. Also, it being a web app is a huge boon for anyone needing a code editor in browser.
Perhaps frameworks like Tauri will supplant electron soon enough for better performance and native feel.
It’s not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.
Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these “educators” come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.
Yeah I share the same general impression of him.
What do you notice specifically with text? I have found the app from the app store looks and feels almost identical to Apollo and behaves like a native app, particularly compared to stuff made with Flutter for example.
Other than sounding a bit annoyed that the UI was identical, did Christian express further unhappiness? Love(d) both apps
I would’ve expected to see more followers after that revelation
Are you going to supply new information? Or just say it’s there with the proper “research”

ahh feels like home
Hello i love your work and i’m very glad you post here :)
This is a great combo! I went from plex to RD+stremio and it’s great. Same selection for the most part. Only issue is you don’t retain the data. I am not a huge rewatcher or archiver so this is not a bad tradeoff for me.
He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik
He already has one dead son, so I doubt he’s in the mood to offer another as a sacrifice to the MAGAs
Agree that this looks and feels bad, but Hunter was overly scrutinized and punished for his crimes. He already paid his due and was the victim of a real witch hunt. If Trump was pardoning Don Jr I’d be pissed (depending on the crimes I suppose, let DonnyJ do some drugs), but that would be different because Hunter was never involved in politics, held public office or government positions, etc.
