I don't think they really understand why the teachers are so upset and that's reflected in the message. I do think they know that their "fun" is over and they will not do this again.

Doesn't change what you said too much, but these quotes are from a video they posted after the school found out about the videos but before the NYT reached out. After NYT contacted them, they definitely knew they shouldn't double down:

The 60,000 foot view of what’s happening in America is that our press can’t respond to an open fascist takeover of the GOP, including direct calls for state political violence, because of a set of deep, deep pathologies that have led it to fixate obsessively on a health scare of the Dem president

Yes vote for the better option always. but also even the most centrist Democrat's platform is not "slightly left" of the GOPs project 2025 plan. it's not even close to it.

Some random woman I walked by the other day was ranting in public to her friend about how "they" have ruined our country. She was absolutely convinced that Obama is secretly running the federal government and is responsible for it.

If they can't do it with Trump they will try again with someone else BUT finding someone else that has the same appeal to the right-wing base as Trump may take decades if they find one at all. During that time their power can be fully broken.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

Catastrophic. The fact that most watchers and of course most of us who work on regulation knew this was coming doesn’t soften the blow a bit. The modern administrative state is critical for health & social policy. Undermining it promises to worsen overall health and expand health inequalities.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

The Biden FTC is on a roll. It banned noncompete clauses. It blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger that would send grocery bills skyrocketing. Now it's taking action against Adobe for allegedly trapping users in pricey subscriptions. This is government working for the people.

Vehicles are too damn big now it really sucks. I want to buy my mother in law a normal size car since that's all she needs but it's straight up not safe to drive a sedan in Texas when every other car is a lifted F150 with a cattle guard or worse.

There has not been some massive regulatory overhaul under Biden, or any wild attack on capitalism. But many business leaders have convinced themselves that the status quo is socialism, justifying their support for an authoritarian.

Yes. However those companies currently operate at a loss. the final price you pay for your Taco Bell burrito delivery is less than the amount it cost doordash to get it to you. And that's AFTER they exploit their drivers with shit play. In your ideal world, food delivery should cost much more.

Sure? Not really relevant though? burrito transportation isn't free. Even ignoring the doordash middleman the burrito delivery human needs to be paid fairly for their time and effort.

The more pieces of Windows we can decouple from the core OS the more pieces we can update impactlessly.

Yeah it's definitely not impossible. Windows has a ton of persistent state though and that is a legit issue for impactless updates. It's hard to do something with no downtime when you need to migrate tens of thousands of configuration settings from v1 to v2.

The dream is real in the cloud. I just shipped impactless updates for a portion of the Cobalt 100 Firmware since Azure is pretty much not allowed to have downtime ever. Maybe we can get there for client Windows someday. But probably only when there's $ to be made in it 😥
