thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
ICE has been around for over 20 years, yet only the last 2 have been problematic to you. Abolishing it seems rash
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
Agreed. But that’s different from the Reddit style “abolish ice” argument.
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
“Abolish ICE” doesn’t mean “fix its problems”.
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
No, it is a lack of imagination to think that abolishing ice is the only solution.
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
completely abolishing ice altogether, is functionally equivalent to having open borders, because they are the people who are supposed to be enforcing immigration law. “Abolish ice” is just as radical as advocating for open borders. How about we fix the problems with ice?
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
Agreed, but abolishing the agency task with immigration enforcement altogether means… We won’t have immigration enforcement
thehappypm··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
If there’s no immigration enforcement, that’s functionally equivalent to having open borders. It’s kind of what an open border is. Where is the false equivalency?

Economic migrants are by far the majority in the US. In fact, economic migrants abusing “asylum” have basically made it impossible for the immigration authorities to have a sane asylum policy.

I have an Israeli friend. His answer:

This result is exactly what the anti-Israel coalition wanted. They bet Bibi would go nuts and burn up the remaining global goodwill that Israel had, leaving them isolated.

thehappypm··on U.S. Small Biz Can't Ship to the EU Anymore
This is not a tariff issue, unbelievably, but one about reducing competition.

I’m not sure I’m following the argument here, because tariffs are all about protectionism, which is a form of reducing external competition

thehappypm··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
Yes, but the lag time is crucial. The NY Times estimated that China has 10% the compute capacity of the US. They may catch up, but by that time the US labs could have too much of an advantage

Honestly, no. These weird states of matter have extremely different properties to ordinary matter. Weird properties is how we get things like superconductors, magnets, semiconductors, photovoltaics.. so strange state of matter with weird properties could very well produce some magic

thehappypm··on U.S. used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war
The objectives are wildly different.

Vietnam is more like asking the question, could the US Military occupy all of Iran? Which I think the answer is essentially No, just like Vietnam.

The strait is one small objective , and the US had lots of successes in Vietnam with capturing key strategic areas, they just couldn’t cover that into a successful occupation

thehappypm··on U.S. used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war
It is public opinion that is keeping the US from using boots on the ground.
