Seven restraining orders. Seems like lots is not legal.

8 trillion is the amount the debt rose while Trump was in office last time: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/us-debt-by-president...
How much do you think he will raise it by during this term?

I found this helpful to keep me up to date on the legal situation of various executive orders: https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-legal-challenges... . Overall for me, 8 executive orders subject to restraining orders sounds like the executive branch vastly exceeding its authority, which for three weeks of government, sounds like a constitutional crisis.

Sounds good! Maybe you can start a business and have a low-stakes regional airport work with you. I think the main way to do it is as an add-on/assistant for the existing toolset.

Gotcha. The reason I was mystified is that the budget is written by Congress, so I would guess a phone call to a leader in Congress with a desired budget number would do the job. Given that this doesn't seem to be the plan, I couldn't tell if maybe they had some other goal. I hope that explains how someone could be mystified.

Trillions of debt is a congress issue. Maybe this congress can pass some bills to resolve it. Not sure how that's relevant to 25 year olds since there are no current 25 year old congress members.

In a recent analysis of venture capital returns for companies based on programming language, for the top 50 Y Combinator companies at least as of 2019, Ruby is #1, and C# is just not in the list.
https://charliereese.ca/y-combinator-top-50-software-startup...
I have no affiliation with Y Combinator itself or the author of the post.
The particular analysis is pretty skewed in its own way, so you can take it with a pinch of salt.
As a general rule, programming languages have ecosystems and communities, and if you pick a language where quickly delivering high-value features to users/customers is part of the community, it helps your startup; you'll probably meet founders and get business advice if you go to a Ruby meetup, but less so at a C# one.
It's not the whole picture, since it doesn't speak to the technical part of your question.

I hope the CA Governor can use GenAI to auto-respond to NIMBYs who block housing development in CA. It would be a time-saving measure for state housing departments who are already very busy.

When people operate a safe AI company, the company will make money. That money will be likely be used by employees or their respective national revenue agencies to fund unsafe things. I'd like to see this safe AI company binding its employees and owners from doing unsafe things with their hard-earned cash.

On my iPhone, I use Wipr: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wipr/id1030595027
It integrates with the system browser and, I think, all embedded browsers. I only use the 'privacy-safe' subset of Wipr, that is, the passive filter list that Safari supports most efficiently. It works great. I'm sure there are other options that other iPhone users can recommend to you if you ever want to try it.

Does the green software conference have talks about this topic and how to fix it? That would be very interesting!
(edited after posting: I read the article, and I see it's a movement, but not a conference. So same question, would love to see operating systems improvements be part of the green software movement, do you know if it is?)
