I wonder how much deflation in prices there would've been if Right to Repair was nationalized and enforced against every single company in the USA as well as globally.
What is Right to Repair? Requires manufacturers to supply necessary parts, tools and documentation for repairs to both independent repair shops and product owners

Why the hell are manufacturers allowed to stifle right to repair even those it provably harms you the taxpayer, the consumer, the subsidizer?

You'll upgrade leptos at some point and encounter an issue related to getrandom. It's not really a leptos issue since it still uses 0.2, but more of when Leptos builds for wasm target.

Getrandom crate was updated to 0.3. Leptos uses 0.2 still, but because Leptos uses wasm target for hydrate and your current system target for ssr, you'll be confused on what the issue is. Most likely you brought in a crate like uuid that brings in latest getrandom and uuid is included on the hydrate wasm build.

They are not releasing O3 as a standalone model anymore. Not really sure what leap GPT 4.5 takes over 4o. GPT 5 will probably just be a UI change really. I think it's all marketing drivel now. They seem less excited overall about releasing any performance statistics about GPT 4.5. O3 they were enthusiastic about until DeepSeek R1 came out of China and blew away their cost and performance per watt.

Users of the free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the standard intelligence setting;...

Moderna (MRNA) COVID vaccine unlocked quite a market opportunity back in 2021. MRNA vaccines are quicker to develop therefore quicker to get to a trial cheaply. It was and is super effective against COVID. Looking back at the stock price, it went up to stratospheric heights, 400 a share? Today it is around $30. I ask myself is it a good buy? Personally I think so.

I get it, MRNA's revenues still haven't stabilized, it's on a decline. Consider that we are currently on a trend of vaccine fatigue. It's a histor...

I hope this is the last shift. I fully got rid of NodeJS from my public websites. This blog was the first to use Leptos for SSR for SEO purposes. I used CSR for a good amount of time with lit-element.

I got tired of NodeJS constantly breaking good working code with their needless changes. You can't really upgrade, so you are stuck, so I say F IT and just moved away from using it. Moving to rust for frontend meant far smaller binary sizes (300+mb -> 25mb) and 50% or more cut in memory usage for the same funct...

If the package contains your name then it's most likely a brushing scam. Somehow someway they get your name and address, set you as the shipping address then order stuff to be sent. They want to use the confirmed order as a way to add feedback to a product.

When they are specifically "victims": https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-signs-executive-order-to-promote-the-resettlement-of-afrikaner-refugees-in-the-u-s/

I had no idea that victims owned most of the farmland in a country they took over and ruled then purposely voted to remove the nuclear weapons they'd develop. Yeah..., "victims" fuck off with that victim bullshit always the rich "victim". America is totally done for. Dictatorship is the only way forward. The Democrats just haven't figured that out yet....

All the morons and smooth brains who voted for this big moron deserve what's coming to them especially when said big moron is more than happy to keep helping billionaires who have all the money for the lifetimes wanting more.

Where do you think all of these executive orders are coming from? Why is it that these executive orders follow what has been declared in Project 2025? You didn't take it seriously, now the consequences will come.

Insider trading in that some group of people knew Trump would put out a proposal or whatever to tariff TSMC chips among other in some weird effort to bring back chip manufacturing. It takes years to build such a factory and years to ramp up. A tariff is dumb, damaging and a self own to American companies.

DeepSeek was revealed last week, why would "traders" who are supposed to understand quickly and trade against the future wait exactly one week after reveal to dump NVDA stock? I think it's insider trading g...

And a 6 out of 10 were found to be US Citizens during the Mexican Repatriation program: https://www.history.com/news/great-depression-repatriation-drives-mexico-deportation

The logic behind these raids was that Mexican immigrants were supposedly using resources and working jobs that should go to white Americans affected by the Great Depression. These deportations happened not only in border states like California and Texas but also in places like Michigan, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio and New York. In 2003, ...
