> the deal fits a pattern in the Trump administration where the president urges companies to take measures, such as domestic investments, for example, to prevent the imposition of tariffs in an effort to bring in jobs and revenue to America.

So they will be exempt from the tariffs if they just pay the 15% sales tax directly to the Fed?

I think it tries to compare the export tax to the last week news about chips/semis to be subject to 100% tariffs unless they also have manufacturing in the US.

So yes, they won't have to pay tariffs because they also manufacture in the US, not because they'd (supposedly) have to pay the export tax (though it's hard to see how these two could be mutually exclusive).

To the Fed? Where did you get that from?

I don't believe that it is a constitutional right to live in a neighborhood that will permit you to operate a chop-shop in your overgrown yard.

Like "gift it to Africa" where we send them a crate of useless computers with a note "you guys will love these! it's what I used as a kid (40 years ago)."

It's amusing to me that you're getting crushed on here for blocking/ "defederating" known IPs that you don't want traffic from, but I would bet that these same people would champion your right to do the same if you were blocking a spammy mastadon or lemmy instance that you didn't like!

It's not hypocritical. They have every right to block Tor traffic. I don't want them to do it, but also don't want them to lose the right to do it.

He came slinking back just like they all did. Removed the mastodon link from his profile so they would unban his account.

Rust is by far the more mature option if you're really trying to replace C++. Zig is personally interesting to me though. But if you need to write actual production critical code then you should definitely go with Rust.

Honestly, it's still a little bit surreal to me that I won't even consider C++ now for a new project after so many years of my career.

I don't know if it's Gen Z specific but I think people now just have a very difficult time interacting with strangers in public. It's kind of a bizarre phenomenon of the digital age.

Some of us late gen xers were ahead of the curve and had a very difficult time with strangers before the internet.

Born too soon I guess

> I'm not even allowed to use it _at my own risk_

Obvious hyperbole, but:

There is no such thing as "at your own risk" in the EU. It's a Nanny State. Brussels knows best what's good for you.

It would be one thing if the heavy-handed, often premature, EU regulations were in some way intended to foster production of its own technology companies to compete at large scale in its own market. But we all know that doesn't happen. Any European with an entrepreneurial spirit is all but forced to go start their company in USA. It seems like anything that appears potentially useful but has undefined or unanswered legal questions is just banned before anyone can figure out what the actual problems are. Sigh.
