Do you have resources expanding on this? Beyond the communist manifesto?

Personally? I don't even kill bugs I find inside. They are taken outside. When my cat destroys the occasional lizard, I have to euthanize them rather than let them die slowly in pain or throwing them outside to die out of sight. I cry then usually.

I think a lot of CEOs aren't capable of empathy, or have been so detached to human cost by the many layers of numbers and intermediaries between

What HN client is this?

He just knows you have to fight fire with fire so he's tackling inflation by raising prices

Many people write tests before writing code. This is common and called Test Driven Development. Having an AI bruteforce your unit tests is actually already the basis for a "programming language" that I saw on hackernews a week or so ago.

I despise most AI applications, and this is definitely one. However it's not some foreign concept impossible in reality:

The Hacker News crowd uses this phrase every other sentence so it was almost humorous to see it used here. I thought this was a shitpost

He already has one dead son, so I doubt he's in the mood to offer another as a sacrifice to the MAGAs

Agree that this looks and feels bad, but Hunter was overly scrutinized and punished for his crimes. He already paid his due and was the victim of a real witch hunt. If Trump was pardoning Don Jr I'd be pissed (depending on the crimes I suppose, let DonnyJ do some drugs), but that would be different because Hunter was never involved in politics, held public office or government positions, etc.

Why are tariffs the tool? Why now? Why disrupt anything for the benefit of corporations and their... thousand(s?) of workers? Unemployment is quite low already, and as far as I know manufacturing has been largely leaving the US for what I assume are economic reasons that will persist longer than the tariffs.

Why not laws requiring ethical sourcing of materials and labor if ethics is your concern?

I mean let's think this through. Say it costs many millions, billions even, to create new manufacturing plants for any of the major players. It will take probably years to complete and on top of that US workers have much stronger protections than most of the world with significantly higher labor costs to boot. consumers would immediately pay more because of the tariffs, and then even if the "protectionism" works, we're still paying more, even if it's to US workers and companies. This isn't even to mention that the taxpayer is likely going to foot the bill for construction of new factories as they've done with Intel etc.

i'm struggling to see any merits to this idea. Can you elaborate?
