He’s the guy who looked directly at the eclipse, so yeah, he’d probably do that, too.

Bets on Donnie forcing it to go ahead anyway?

Honestly, they’d be horrified at a bunch of things, some of which are on MAGA, and some on progressives. Maybe we shouldn’t be taking the ideas of slaveowners from over 200 years ago as seriously as we do.

How to win debates on the Internet 101.

In 201, you learn how to do it with more Latin.

AWS has a multitude of different offerings with confusing pricing structures. They have zero incentive to make them understandable.

That said, chances are your new company has people who understand this already and know how to manage it. Hopefully, they’ll put up some guardrails that prevent you and others from running up a big bill. I wouldn’t expect a junior programmer to know how to do this, but that’s ok as long as the company is managed right. Granted, that can be a big if sometimes.

Big Tech has done everything they can to convince people that they absolutely cannot be trusted with this.

The current situation will tend to sweep away a lot of institutions. The Republican Party almost certainly won’t survive Trump, and there’s a chance Democrats won’t either. Even if they do, it’s not like they could hold on to being a singularly dominant party forever. Not when there are so many people voting for them only to make sure Republicans don’t take power.

They’ll have to adapt to that situation or perish. New political parties can spring up quickly. We’re not used to that in the US, but it’s happened here before, and happens around the world all the time.

Then let me come from a different angle: we don’t need Democrats. Not as a group, anyway. I’m fine with individual members, like AOC, but the party as a whole hasn’t been on our side. That won’t change.

Instead, we should be looking to build solidarity with unions and community. If Democrats exist at all at that point, they’ll be forced to deal with a very different political reality.

Edit: fixed some wording.

What happened in the last six months that makes you think Democrats will do shit if they get power back? Or even the last decade?

Just so we’re all aware, GPS jammers will invite the interest of the FCC. Now, protests aren’t about being well-behaved, but just know that there’s an entirely different federal agency being brought in.

Extra funny because a lot of stuff comes in from the ports of LA and San Fransisco.

Make it income tax rather than sales tax, and I’m in. I live in a state that sends more to the federal government than we get back, so this would likely be a lower overall tax amount for me.

Pixel 6 is the minimum that can load up GrapheneOS. Those are like $130 on eBay.

Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn’t.

This is the sort of nuts and bolts of protesting that Americans are learning the hard and fast way.

Since you’re posting this all over the thread, I’ll also have to repeat the information that gyro/accelerometers are not capable of doing that. Small measurement errors stack up and throw it completely off.

Gyro/accelerometer data isn’t accurate enough to do that. Small errors in the data add up and will quickly drift away from the actual location. You can use it for video game controllers, but not tracking over large distances. Edit: there’s a reason the best VR tracking often uses external methods, not controllers alone.

But most phones have GPS and that’s where the real problem is.

There’s a bigger thing people tend to forget: shipping ports. There aren’t a lot of natural harbors on the west coast of North America. California has three of them (LA, Long Beach, San Fransisco) and Washington has two (Seattle and Tacoma).

Want to trade anything with the rest of the world? The east coast and Mississippi ports aren’t going to cut it. Don’t want to trade anything? The US economy just went into depression.

Unfortunately, they tend to try harder when it doesn’t work the first time. The first attempts at the Prosperity Gospel, prior to WWII, were laughed off because it was so obviously self-serving to rich people. They kept at it until it stuck.
