I already responded, but I wanted to add that I really like your blog post and I think you should keep being curious and read and write. I’m looking forward to reading more thoughts from you. I don’t have an account there but maybe you keep posting here?

I wouldn’t bet on those people being good at making informed decisions.

It’s all a conspiracy by BigStraw

There is way more in preparation than just tariffs. The Anti‑Coercion Instrument allows restrictions not just on goods trade (quotas, import/export bans) but also on services, foreign direct investment, and financial market access.

In den USA kann man ja auch gut sehen warum das ein Problem ist.

Trust me bro

There are three possible models built around what is fundamental (meaning it exists on its own and is not derived from something else) involving matter and consciousness.

• matter is fundamental, consciousness arises from complexity of matter (in a brain)

• matter and consciousness are both fundamental and exist side by side. Maybe something like a soul that is extra to the material body

• only consciousness is fundamental matter in the reality of an observer comes into existance by being experienced.

In the double slit experiment, a beam of light or tiny particles like electrons is fired at a wall that has two very narrow slits next to each other. When only one slit is open, the particles make a single bright band on a screen behind the wall, like throwing sand through one slot. When both slits are open, instead of just two bright bands, a whole pattern of many bright and dark stripes appears, which is what waves make when they overlap and interfere. The strange part is that even if the particles are sent one at a time, they still slowly build up the same stripe pattern, as if each particle behaves like a wave going through both slits at once. But if a detector is used to check which slit each particle goes through, the stripe pattern disappears and the particles act like little bullets, showing that observing them changes the outcome.

If his condition is in decline and this is not the last stupid thing he does it might become more likely.

If the president objects, the matter goes before Congress, which can decide with a two-thirds vote to permanently remove the president and install the vice president.

Ultimately there two options:

• you only control your own consumptions
• you can talk to others to convince them.

The argument for others is the strongest if you do it in this order (even if that hurts/may isolate you).

War eher als Witz gedacht.

He already has 2 peace prices why does he need another?

Er hat doch schon zwei Friedenspreise

It’s a good indicator which media is worth reading.

I think it’s a good idea for closed source stuff, but the disadvantages of it are greater than its usefulness when an app can be easily compiled for the distro.

From the article:

Certain applications work poorly without SSD. These apps end up having either no titlebar or a weird one, and the user can’t move or resize them easily. Davinci Resolve is one notable example, but it’s not the only one.

A few months ago people from German chancellor’s party CDU visited the US to get advice from Republicans.

The art of the deal - at this point it’s more like abstract art.

How to shoot yourself in the foot:

The plug is expected to be pulled on Donald Trump’s tariff deal with the EU by the European parliament on Wednesday after the two biggest blocs of MEPs said they would halt the legal ratification process in response the US president’s latest threats.
