> Most people here probably have around $5-10M in assets

There is no way this is true. FAANG pays well, but that is still an eye popping amount of wealth unless you're an executive or absolute top-echelon engineer.

Used Chevy Bolt or a used VW ID.4. Both excellent cars that can be found for under $25k; I drive the latter myself.

New, the Chevy Bolt and the Nissan Leaf both start under $30k.

Nasty slurs are very unbecoming. This might be the ugliest comment I've seen in a very very long time here.

I think you're operating in enough bad faith that normally I wouldn't respond, but on behalf of my northern friends, I gotta say

> Obviously Canada should at minimum demand to be brought in as multiple states rather than as one oversized one. Or Canada could just offer to lower tariffs instead. It’s up to them.

This is quite something. Trump does not think in any kind of structured axiomatic way at all as of his decaying health in 2026, and the framework you've put this in is so far outside of any coherent diplomatic framework that it's outright an offense.

No, Canada should not be put in a position where they consider the choice of being multiple U.S. states! What is wrong with you!

Come on this is not just about trade disputes, though that side of things is also deeply screwed up.

Maybe some Americans don't take all the "51st State" and annexation talk that's become a full-on party line seriously, but Canadians are perfectly in their rights and sense to take it seriously and literally.

They're unpopular, but we're apparently a fickle and short-memoried people with few real legal safeguards or principles.

Trump was deeply unpopular at the end of his first term too, and Americans still went back for a second bite.

We gotta look inward and, metaphorically speaking, go to rehab.

Disclaimer: I'm American

I don't see how Canada can trust us again without a major cultural and legal shift in the US. The fact is that any president can, apparently, unilaterally shred international friendships, and 30%-40% of Americans will cheer it on.

I would love a return to normalcy, but Americans need to make sure, really sure this can't happen again.

I mean, entering somebody's tent without being told in advance that's okay genuinely sounds sketchy as hell

I think they meant it should have been deployed to all SKUs instead of the very silly ecosystem split Intel did for a long time.

I might argue that homework is, for mathematics, where the useful learning happens.

> Also it really is sad to see “Hacker” News be “World News”. More Zig and less White House, please.

I have been on this website for 17 years (ugh that's scary), and people have been posting variations of this remark the entire time. It's a tiresome sort of post the thousandth time.

Politics have always been a consistent part of this website: it's a big part of the world that hackers live in, and barring rule enforcement to the contrary, hackers will always find politics interesting and want to talk about it.

If you want a website with a more narrow focus, there's always lobste.rs.

I don't know the parent's policy position, but it seems like they didn't express one, and you've just assumed they support deanonymization?
