Hmmm....wants to become PM of Israel now? Wasn't it president of Venezuela before? Well, I'm certain he can do both simultaneously ;-p

"...but also someone who is perpetually driven by grievances that don’t quite match reality." Perfect match to you-know-who then.

It is sad that only French youth takes to the streets. The youth worldwide is being short shrift regarding their future and "Antichrist" Greta Thunberg's actions clearly haven't made much of a dent.

Jane Street? Major proprietary trading house using algorithmic, neural network, mathematical and AI trading methodologies for ultra short term market exposure.

Nelo Skum ( as well as DJT) is so laughably thin skinned. And both are so obsessed with their hair. What is wrong with them?

They understand the value of the media in terms of creating a social profile, and quick wins they can achieve.

Source(s)?

Russian source of carbohydrates is over. American source of free protection is over. EU is not a source of the modern cars anymore.

As long as companies can just settle without anybody responsible ever going to jail nothing will change.

How? Or was it sarcasm?

That's apparently the latest bright idea out of the White House.

And no, that's not out of The Onion.

I miss the days when world leaders read from the internet but didn't post to it.

Personally I assume there was an implied /s at the end

Well, there's an unspoken rule in SV/HN circles about when the take Trump's idiocies seriously and when to ignore them.

For example, "Gulf of America" and "Department of War" you're supposed to take seriously, and all SV communications feature these prominently. Correcting someone about the fact that "The Department of War" doesn't exist will get you downvoted, but apparently you're not supposed to take "Straight of Hormuz is US territory" seriously? I'm am very bad at discerning this rule.

Correcting someone about the fact that “The Department of War” doesn’t exist is pedantic.

I wouldn’t go downvote a random comment making the correction, but if I posted a substantive comment remarking on current events and received a reply only pointing out that “it’s ACTUALLY the Department of Defense” then I’d definitely downvote that.

Correcting others’ language on this point isn’t saving democracy, it’s needling others on technicalities who very well might be largely aligned with your views. I think the altered name is clownish and reflects the buffoonery of everybody in charge, but I might still use it when making a point because using it in context is not an endorsement.

If the language doesn't matter, then why have the autocratic authoritarians made such a point of promulgating that language? To me, it's a line in the sand that they've drawn - along with the rest of their dubious alternative reality that we're supposed to eat and repeat to demonstrate allegiance.

I know it's real work to go against popularized framings, but it's work we need to do.

If people downvoted pedantry, everyone on HN would have negative karma.

No, it's something closer to The Parable of the Green Grocer from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_the_Powerless. The MAGAfication of large parts of Tech means that lots of people see themselves as respectable, serious, insiders. Pointing out the utter ridiculousness of what they profess to believe is extremely gauche.

I can imagine Pete Hegseth saying that exact sentence to President Trump.

Why the down vote? It was a serious question.

Trump did actually make this proclamation today. It was a sarcastic comment.

A couple of years ago I made the observation that the West would start to copy what China is doing. Ofcourse its only wrong when China does it...

There's no point in seeing anything coming or being right about anything, because the vast majority of people will ridicule you and tell you you're wrong until well after it's too late to change the situation for the better. The tiny handful of us who actually care about a future are a microscopic minority and basically powerless to change it. Best to just live our lives the best we can and to hell with what the rest of the world is doing at this point.

Which time?

"...three minutes of sprinting produced a dramatic molecular response in the bloodstream, far exceeding the changes seen after 90 minutes of moderate exercise." Key word MODERATE. What about comparing it to HIIT for example?
