Would you elaborate on your definitions for “being ruled” and “socialist”?

Does that mean you would prefer violent rebellion over a United States president with social liberal public policies?

Would you have taken up arms under either of the Roosevelts?

Extremism and violence tend to go hand-in-hand.


Did I say "social democrat" or did I say "socialist"?


> Their canal?

Today, the Panama Canal is owned and operated by the government of Panama.

> The US first built Panama, and then built the canal.

We can concede that the US played the most significant role in the construction of the canal and applying pressure for Panamanian secession from Colombia, but Panama’s national identify predates the United States.

I love the USA too, but please chill with the rhetoric.


Right. I'm not disputing that the canal is, in fact, owned by Panama today. Nor am I suggesting the US should take it back even though I think it was pretty stupid to give it away.


You did in fact imply just that with your 'Their canal?'.


Can you qualify “some Venezuelans” in any meaningful way?

This framing implies that the US administration considered US or Venezuelan public opinion before taking this action.

We have no evidence of that.


Well at least the nearly 8 million who voted for the opposition in Venezuela and the nearly 8 million who have left.


Are you implying that a vote for the opposition is a vote for the US to take over?


No I'm implying that most people in Venezuela are happy to se Maduro gone and hopefully his whole regime as well.


Admittedly I cannot, I'm not Venezuelan and not familiar enough with the country.


> If Chrome wants to make itself less attractive, you should celebrate.

I appreciate that Chrome reducing user autonomy in order to further Google's own business goals _should_ be a reduction in their competitiveness in a perfect market.

But the web browser market does not have perfect competition today, and I cannot recall a time when it had.

Regulators preventing Apple from controlling iOS browser engines but allowing Google to have de facto ownership of the web would be an example of governments picking winners and losers.

Public policy needs to move the market towards real competition.


I'm bummed that we never made that link keep working - it was a fun start page.


It happens. I felt like the Copilot/Autopilot CMS team had a lot going on so I understood. But it was a good play for a decent native ad experience (example: we ran a decently funny set of Bill Murray cartoons - and that was good) oddly enough and assumed that would ensure its survival.


Happy to see more tools in the data schema space.

Will you support Standard Schema (https://standardschema.dev)? How does this compare to typebox (https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox)?


How did you come to that conclusion? The last name Guerrero predates the 1500s by centuries.


Link to a speech where he does this? I’d love to see receipts.



Wow, didn't know there were settings for this, thanks. I do suffer from motion sickness a bit.


Rexx was the favorite language of my high school programming teacher. I recall being surprised by the syntax being so similar to English text.

I'd credit the language for sending me down the rabbit holes of programming language design, self-documenting code, and literate programming. :)
