In "defense" of Republicans, the MAIN reason for deficit increasing under Republicans is that their administrations often end with some type of economic disaster. Their increased spending is part of the picture, but not as responsible as the impacts from final year recessions.

It's a pension fund of/for teachers in Denmark. That amount in U.S. Treasuries sounds like an expected size to me.

For folks wondering what this does, it brings you to either:

Asking "what good is this?" in a dismissive tone should be against the rules in a space like Hacker News.

> But they'll clearly build detailed profiles on every preference or product you mention, your age, your location, etc. so they know what ads to show you?

I'd guess an advertiser can ask OpenAI "show this ad to people between 18-34?", and then certainly anyone who clicks and then buys they'd know is 18-34 since they knew they came from the ad. But that there's no way for advertisers to directly buy a list of folks who are 18-34 but don't buy something from their website.

That's how it often works and seems in the spirit of the sentence you quoted.


As someone who made websites in the geocities days, it's amusing to me that one of the tell-tale signs of a Gemini-built website is a MARQUEE! I genuinely love that the marquee tag is making a come-back due to what I can only imagine was someone on the Google team who loves it too and decided to put that into the system prompt when websites are requested.

Honestly? That is the real reason.

I miss the era when the web was raw, weird, and unpolished. Modern UI feels too sanitized and corporate.

The "Neo-Brutalist" label is just a convenient modern excuse to bring back the fun chaos of the Geocities days without looking outdated. Glad it hit the nostalgia nerve!


Please don't use AI for posting comments.

Sorry, English is not my native language like billions of people on the planet.

Then why make a product whose purpose it is to convey written technical information to users of that language, if it's also a language that you need assistance in to communicate properly with?

I couldn't tell they replied to me with AI (it didn't read like it did to me, but I could be wrong).

But even if they did, one thing I'm sympathetic to is that English is not everyone's first language. Again, I don't know if that applies here, but it's a good reason that some might want to run their comments through an LLM. I don't think there should be a blanket rule on this.


The new pyramid appears to have LESS protein in it than the Michelle Obama 2011 version, MyPlate.

This is basically the same as the previous version, the "food plate" that Michelle Obama rolled out in 2011:

It's amusing how outraged people were when Michelle Obama did her Let's Move campaign focused on eating healthy and exercise and now people are pretending it's all new.

(There was also a version before that, in 2005. The "MyPyramid." That one emphasized exercise by having a person walking up a revised version of the pyramid. Though it had a whole giant category for "milk," admittedly as a knock against it. I'll grant today's did a good job in de-emphasizing dairy compared to 2005 and 2011.)


The people who got offended at the 2011 campaign are not the same people who are offended at this 2025 campaign. In the united states, if you do anything, someone, somewhere, will be offended. That's kind of our whole shtick.

To be fair, it's everyone's shtick everywhere.

I haven't thought of a word for it yet, but it has something to do with how many people participate in the discourse now. The numbers are large enough that someone somewhere will always have some opinion. Every time.


> It's amusing how outraged people were when Michelle Obama did her Let's Move campaign focused on eating healthy and exercise and now people are pretending it's all new.

It's the same people who got offended because Obama asked for spicy mustard because they thought that was too fancy, but still actively voted for the guy who actively plates everything with gold so as to maximize how tacky everything looks.

They've never been internally consistent and I'm not entirely convinced that they have any principles outside of "own the libs".


Yeah my first thought was to view what changed, if anything, during peak COVID or the later issues.

This is still wonderful.


I was thinking the same.

Speed should slightly increase with each new apple


I strongly disagree, I like that the challenge comes from the snake getting longer as opposed to speed.
