“Supreme Court unanimously rules that you can’t illegally send a man to be disappeared into an El Salvador prison camp” probably shouldn’t be considered a happy surprise but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

An old-fashioned term that we use—"the banks are out of money." It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term: "the banks are out of money." It says a bank with nothing in it

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

everyone should work tech support at some point in their life so they understand the median tech competency.
SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

I asked Paul George — who has come back from multiple major injuries — if there was any wisdom to pass on to Embiid to help during his process of getting back to himself.
