  • the problem is more that these departments have repeatedly lied about and continued to allow the use of dangerous substances which eroded the trust with the public. This gave individuals like RFK the ounce of truth they needed to undermine them.

    ‘<minority group X> can totally be researched on without their consent’
    ‘PFAs are perfectly safe!’ (when used appropriately, and discarded after N years both of which never happen),
    ‘Mercury fillings are safe!’ (because we can’t actually measure the damage they do accurately enough to decouple it from natural damage, but they’re not actually safe),
    ‘Weed has no medical uses.’ (because we wouldnt allow it to be studied, turns out its very medically useful).
    ‘mdma/shrooms have no medical uses!’ (turns out they’re great at treating depression and a host of neurological conditions)
    ‘artificial food colorings are safe!’ (turns out they’re not and we’ve known it for years)
    ‘trans fats are safe!’ (they werent).
    ‘you dont need to wear masks to protect from covid’ (turns out we needed to wear masks)

    the list goes on and on. and in each case where we finally got these organizations to do whats best for the american populace at the expense of corporations it has taken a monumental effort despite the data basically being very clear or unambiguously safer alternatives being available.

    But each time a person suffers and learns about these things it puts another set of nails in the coffin for whether a randomly selected member of the population trusts them or not leading to people like RFK being able to take advantage of the mistrust.

    what you’re seeing now is the end result of these kinds of situations happening repeatedly. The hilarious part is RFK is probably going to accidentally do good over the long term by getting rid of the artificial food coloring finally. and if we successfully avoid this fascist regime from taking root (unlikely at this point given americans passivity) vaccine and such will come roaring back.






  • Hehe, llvm is a compiler framework, basically provides all the utilities for processing an AST.

    ASTs have various flavors but they’re all the same thing an intermediate representation for a program that optimizers and linkers use to create binaries.

    The network stacks meh, 6 or 7 layers depending on what protocol you use but in brief: physical, transport, application. More and more functionality has moved into the transport in the name of efficiency, see quic. But in general not worth worrying about most of the abstraction was nonsense anyways.

    And you missed out compilers was one of the most useful classes in cs circulums since it teaches you how languages work.








  • and they would. thats literally what the 600 billion is for silly. now whether trump actually follows through and makes sure they do is a separate and is more related to trump than the behavior of these companies. Given the choice between ‘bring manufacturing back’ or ‘become entirely blocked the within the us market’ they’ll pick the former. every. time.

    so what evidence am I suppose to consider that would change my mind or contradicts my original post? or even more related to you: contradicts your position in any way? because thats what this is about. you want to be told you are correct.

    so sure, you’re absolutely correct that trump will not require them to follow through. but that doesnt change the facts that my original position is also correct. Funny how two things can be correct at the same time.


  • or maybe you’re just dense and dont see we’re on the same page? funny how you miss that option in your eagerness to try and prove something to someone. This was exactly my point. sorry you missed it.

    What exactly do you think I need to change my mind about?

    • that trump is a fascist? we agree.
    • that companies will bend knee in order to avoid tariffs? on that we agree again!
    • that companies absolutely would bring manufacturing back to the US due to tariffs? again, you seem to be missing the very clear evidence they would to the tune of 600 billion.

    so what exactly do you want me to change my mind on? that jobs may not come back because trump is a fascist twat? okay here we are, never said that wasnt a possibility.
