Best way to do aspect ratios is use AI to figure out the most interesting image subject and set center there. Twitter tried to do it, but it ended up zooming in on boobies or ignoring black people too often. https://blog.x.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2018/Smart-Auto-Cropping-of-Images

Short term pain is increasing or stopping trade antagonistically with the United States with limited negotiations. Imagine you’re betting March Madness. Would you bet for the best team or literally everyone else? That’s what’s happening. Everyone is betting on each other knowing we’ll cave quickly.

RoR is great for low traffic apps. Best language for 0 to 1. Memory bloat and debugging is rough at scale from my experience..

Short term benefit in increasing tariffs outweighs the long term loss of competitiveness by concessions enumerated in law or contract. Tit-for-tat game theory means we rapidly discover the blow-off price point for which both parties can’t afford — politically and otherwise. It worked in 2018 and will work again.

You know, the recent NBA trades and coach/GM moves start to make a lot more sense if you can believe that we're headed for a bad recession, and teams must conserve as much cash as possible going into next season to pay their current contracts.
