Now if only you could find the mayor of DOGE.
comment in response to
post
So, despite SCOTUS saying to grant DOGE access, since there is no official accounting of who DOGE is, presumably they can grant nobody access and be in compliance with the order?
I mean there's no administrator to verify anyone's actual employment.

If you skip the second donut you won't be able to keep up with even the idea of what she's going to do today. It's necessary.

Impressive when you call something both socialist and communist at the same time while managing to use both incorrectly.

A lot of the pedestrian buttons either never were implemented or were disabled and the buttons left behind. Some do actually work. No real way to tell the difference.

Was there some confusion with someone asking you to troubleshoot an Apple product?

In this case, would you? The lawyers present for the government are certainly not able to comply with the orders. But they're the only ones who could be held. Seems like that's not anything resembling due process.
The administration will happily let the pawns rot forever.

I'm only disappointed there's not a desktop form factor.
And that those aren't working 5 1/4 drives.

Not like they're going to grab Rubio, Bondi, Noem, Trump and put them in a holding cell.
comment in response to

Can they? Also hold who? Just some lacky lawyer who showed up? Feels like two wrongs to due process that won't make a right (or cause a change)
comment in response to
post
Also just holding someone indefinitely in civil contempt seems just as much a failure of due process and unlikely to be permitted by appeals/other courts?
comment in response to
post
But their actions aren't civil contempt, right? And the remedies of civil contempt don't really help? Legitimate questions here, I don't know the answer.
comment in response to
post
Criminal contempt won't help. They'll just be pardoned. Completing the inevitable outcome here.

Judicial opinion version of "Did you even say thank you?"!

"destroys" is generally awful too

Should send a set to @eevblog.bsky.social or @bigclivedotcom.bsky.social for some in depth testing.

So while this turns most people away from dating him, I wonder: will lawyers be far more interested, given they're almost guaranteed some courtroom entertainment even if everything goes horribly? Or especially if.

Wouldn't need a deal. There's no "just following orders" here. They would do this for free. They're enjoying it.

There's a reason for that.
They're the same people.

/2 I mean are you genuinely telling me that until 2006 if someone said “a woman can say ‘hey stop I changed my mind’”you would pull a Surprised Pikachu face? Then frankly you weren’t raised right.

A minor step. A major step would be Congress doing its job to stop it from happening.

And there was much rejoicing. Though sooner would still be better.

Maybe a dumb question, have you tried or considered cords from above on elastic suspension or retractable reels? Might solve a tricky requirement and open more options.

This is another case of people being wildly out of touch with what it's like in the strongly GOP population.
They're still on board with all of this.
They would vote the same way again right now.
Sitting here right now in deep Trump country and I promise you they'll still vote for him.

Due process feels like that statement "judge a society by how it treats it's poorest"
Judge due process by how it treats its most heinous and obviously guilty.

Feels like it needs to be near #1 on the agenda of any non GOP running for office next terms.

Can ICE ever be seen as anything but an unlawful military arm of the executive again after this presidency?
The calls to abolish ICE seem prescient now. I used to be of the "abolish goes too far" mindset. Can't help but feel like a fool for seeing just how terrible they really are.

Is it 'think they can' or 'they already have'?
comment in response to
post
I guess admit it is the wrong way to phrase it.
I picture them doing what they're doing right now. Admitting it while saying it's not a crime.
Like the dumbest version of an affirmative defense if I'm using that term correctly.

Is there any world where they don't just admit to it, take the guilty, get pardoned, and then take a victory lap about how the courts are powerless?

Is the Ioniq 5 really that small in footprint though? Looking at car sized, it says it's 13 inches shorter than a Taycan Cross Turismo (which is definitely not small). However, visualized, man it doesn't seem like much.
comment in response to
post
Yes, but also a smaller pack is fine.
comment in response to
post
One of the "worst parts" is there is a weird rule where smaller cars also must be down market/feature stripped, which is awful. Why can't I have a high end small car?

EVs are all remarkably similar (and large) in LxW. With major variance in H. I would very much love a good one with a smaller LxW profile. I hope this for the Rivian R3, but, it still looks quite large.

Isn't that the same trick we used to get around the "you can't spy on US citizens without a warrant"? We just handed the keys to our allies and looked the other way.

I feel like in hindsight of what came after, Biden should have immediately ordered the entire supreme court jailed without process as an official act.
Feels like nothing short of "and then they came for me" is going to wake them up to reality.

Modern world needs a different approach to turn their followers against them, not help them keep them by being able to blame you.

There's literally nothing anyone external can do to Trump and Musk that would impact their finances meaningfully.
Trump can get anything he wants without money.
Even if Musk lost $300B, he's still a billionaire.
You'll hurt common people the most, and turn them against you.

I work with it every single day.
Have you ever tried manufacturing any sort of precision/industrial part?
Every single manufacturing process has an entire chain of tools and processes behind it.
People with tools are the start of the chain.
comment in response to

Doing something like manufacturing microcontrollers or other electronic components is an entirely different world.
Stepper or servo motors yet another entire world.
And regardless, building any of these starts with humans operating tools to build the machines to do any of this.

This isn't an AI or evolution issue. Different processes are more suitable to different types of parts. It would be inefficient to try to convert every process to a form of 3d printing.
Even if you did 3d print a nozzle or a ball screw, you'd need to machine them as a post process.
comment in response to
post
Not any time soon.
The processes and precision required to do things which they depend on are not suitable to 3d printing.
3d printing microcontrollers, motor drivers, stepper motors, ball screws, nozzles, etc is not on the immediate horizon.
