  • Isaacman, a commercial astronaut and billionaire CEO of the payment processing company Shift4, has a long-standing relationship with Elon Musk, who this week left his post as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump and chief of the Department of Government Efficiency.

    I'm surprised he doesn't also think the sky is a carpet painted by God.

  • The author has completely misunderstood the advice to "not reinvent the wheel". Or they're just being needlessly literal in their interpretation.

    If your job isn't making wheels, then you use somebody else's wheels when you need wheels, so long as those wheels do what you need them to do for a cost that is acceptable.

    There is a high cost to reinventing things. So you don't tend do so unless there is a compelling reason to do so.

    If you're just exploring and learning nobody will tell you not to.

  • OK, so Harvard has 30 days to comply with the previous illegal order? If they don't, Trump will still go ahead with the new illegal order, on top of the previous illegal order!

    Part of Harvard's complaint is that the government isn't following proper procedures that require things like "reasonable notice". I suspect this may be an attempt to remove that argument.

  • You don’t get any more bribes if you hold no power worth getting bribes for.

    You ever wonder why dictatorships across the world have courts? Because they give the dictator legitimacy. That is why you bribe judges. You can be absolutely servile to the dictator but still have worth.

  • The also have an incentive to preserve their own power

    That's a misunderstand of human nature imho. I don't think they do - at least not as a legal body. It turns out personal comfort and wealth is just fine for several of them. Who cares if you can rule over cases when you have a shiny new motor home and are spending the weekend at a wealthy friend's island?

    It's how corruption works.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron believes US President Donald Trump has finally realised that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been deceiving him.

    Oh my no... The cognitive dissonance will take over. Trump will be back to blaming Ukraine and talking about how wonderful Putin is again in short order

  • If this dopey motherfucker actually did this, I'd support it. Harvard can survive on less, and trade schools should be cheaper to encourage people learning trades.

    You think we should take money for cancer research and spend it making trade school cheaper?
