Threats like the ones Powell's receiving would be the end of any other presidency. Why tech elites continue to align themselves with this clownshow will be a source of incredible shame that I'll hold onto forever.
I think a lot of largest tech companies feel that they'll face retribution from the current administration for not being supportive enough but would not from future admins.
For many of the smaller players I think there's unfortunately a lot of people who realized there's significant money to be made in grifting. Many of the largest crypto proponents have pivoted into endeavors, whether crypto or otherwise, that profit off of being rewarded for being part of the 'correct' tribe.

Hopefully we get the opportunity to disabuse them of this notion.

The Democrats should play hardball but the geriatrics can barely take a swing.
They don’t know where the plate is, what the game is, or what day it is. They’re just hoping for ice cream when the nurse comes around with the meds. Meanwhile they are retelling stories from the 1960s for the hundredth time.
This is exactly it and parallels what happened with the end of the Wiemar Republic. There was an asymmetry in response between the Nazis and the government. You can see that in the limited prosecution and light sentences of the Beer Hall Putsch perpetrators.
The tech titans like Thiel see the Trump administration as a "big bet" a startup investment. They can "shoot for the moon" and try to realize the network state. If they fail, they figure they'll just toss the Democrats some campaign contributions and all will be good.
I would be heavily predisposed to vote for any candidate who had a public goal of breaking up the big tech companies and taxing their CEOs into oblivion. I want this primarily because of the immediate about-face they all had when Trump 2.0 was elected and them all contributing to and standing behind him during his inauguration. Had they not, mercifully, all shown themselves as the snakes that they are I probably would have mostly continued to considere them a-political-ish and not been strongly opinionated.
I did not vote for this. Some of my neighbors voted for this because they were pushed over the edge by inflammatory social media algorithms, some stayed home for similar reasons.
Corporations absolutely have an effect on all of this, you can bet they'd save time and money by focusing their efforts elsewhere if they thought it was pointless.
Unfortunately, this [0] cancels out everything ten-fold. The owner of the website is boosting the content of himself and the people he supports. This did not happen in the old twitter - not even close.
The name of the company certainly does raise eyebrows. And from what I 'member from back in ye day, the Musk controversy actually helped them to raise users in the end because everyone and their dog was talking about Musk and him assuming getting hit by a "ligma" joke. That thing was all over the Internet.
Basic arithmetic plus iteration is Turing complete. CSS has basic arithmetic but not iteration.
Some people have already claimed it's Turing complete by making the user hit tab and space to copy data between iterations, but I wouldn't listen to them. That copying role is simple but it's not negligible.
If we can introduce delay in the circuit it would be trivial to build FFs from Boolean-complete gate sets, thus sequential elements with memory. But AFAIK CSS if() can't introduce delays.
It lacks a usable form of pure-CSS recursion (which was intentionally excluded in this implementation) but that's not as big a problem as one would expect for a lot of practical things.
I’m going to assume this is a joke. However, if it’s not a joke, no. We as a community have gone to great lengths to use responsive design over the past few years. There are still styling cases for complex elements that can’t be implemented without JavaScript. This is just an additional step of the journey to allow intermediate styling for complex cases.
If anything, it should enable (minor) expansion of noscript!
Id actually like to redact that prior message and think further, here. We already have information egress thru URIs, with some amount of “protection” via CSP. But I didn’t think of other types of attack vectors at length. Someone above remarked that this is just a general form of conditional, which perhaps unlocks new vectors. Im always surprised by CSS so i should slow down and keep an open mind :)
Looks good! Did you build your own text editor? The markup doesn't look familiar. (Would recommend grabbing one off-the-shelf that handles cross-paragraph selections and concurrent edits, will save you a world of pain)
