Classic over-engineering. Their approach is just fine 90% of the time for the use case it’s intended for.

Idealism is thinking you can bomb a country’s cities with impunity and not expect any blowback.

Russians are using those planes to bomb Ukrainian cities and murder Ukrainian civilians. “Amazing” is the correct word for it

You probably didn’t write up a detailed prompt with perfect specifications in 10 seconds, either. In my experience, it doesn’t matter how good or detailed the prompt is—after enoug…

I’m working on a research cybersecurity tool that attempts to combine the natural language understanding and information synthesis strengths of LLM-driven agents with symbolic logi…

It's also worth noting that some of the damage will be permanent. Trump's mini trade war with China in 2018 (for which he had to bail out farmers) led to US farmers permanently los…

No, but we're not just importing stuff because it keeps port workers busy. We import stuff because there is demand for it, and port workers' labor generates many multiples of profi…

Yes. The port traffic data discussed in this thread is one such example. I'm not an economist or supply chain expert myself, so I rely on actual subject-matter experts to interpret…

What do you define as "essential consumer goods"? American parents would probably put car seats and strollers in that bucket. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/business/strollers-car-…

That's not what trickle-down economics mean. Trickle-down is the idea that giving tax breaks or benefits to the wealthy or big corporations will eventually benefit everyone else th…

Kevin O'Leary is not a credentialed economist.

It's an unpopular opinion because it's wrong. No single aspect of the economy exists in a vacuum. Tariffs and lower shipping volumes portend thousands of small businesses potential…

This is a bad comparison. Tobacco and alcohol, both of which have objective, measurable negative health outcomes supported by decades of research, versus some vague notion of "junk…

I don't see how any of this refutes the claim that the Chinese population has a much greater pain threshold than the US. If anything, you're only bolstering the claim.

Weird gotcha attempt. Who are you even speaking to? Are these "anti-capitalists" in the room with us right now?

This is plain bad economic policy disguised as a moral crusade against hyper consumption. If this administration cared at all about the environment, they wouldn't be opening up pub…

They didn't seem to think so when they voted for Trump. Who could've known that the tariff man would impose tariffs? Maybe his mini trade war with China in 2018--for which he had t…

When was the last time the White House spokesperson for a different administration publicly called the free market actions of a private company "hostile"?

Yet another attack on freedom of speech and the rest of our civil liberties by the current administration.

Since when did free trade become a partisan issue? All respected economists on all sides of the political spectrum agree that tariffs hurt the economy. The current President is the…

This is quite a display of mental gymnastics and historical revisionism. The last couple of years have seen a massive post-COVID backlash to incumbent parties all over the world—De…

The Constitution protects us from the whims of the majority.

It’s hard to convince people to think the US is in any position to protect those principles when the current administration is attacking each and every one them head on.

Prior administration USDS wasn't stealing sensitive NLRB data or sending threatening notes to would-be whistleblowers in the process.

The gaslighting is you calling the report that this whistleblower was threatened “fan fiction”.
