call me a noob but would be nice to see which elements on the right panel are going to get affected when I hover over items on the left panel. right now now I have no clue what got changed :D for some of the elements.
Why do people talk like this is all just one person’s decision? There’s an entire government apparatus involved advisors, military leadership, intelligence agencies. It’s not a dictatorship where one guy just snaps his fingers and things happen. I just can't believe this whole thread.

Re:Ask HN: Do you upvote? Why or why not? on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @02:20PM (#37919312)
By the time I visit HN, all posts are already upvoted for me. Thanks to all the voters. So I hardly feel the need to. I don't know how posts with zero votes start off but much appreciation to whoever reads them and upvotes.
