While we could have an engaging conversation on judicial review in the US, including the implied powers derived from Article III and Article VI, the Federalist papers, the state ratification debates, and English common law, I prefer to point to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_review_in_the_United_... .

I do disagree with your statement that Chief Justice Marshall 'decided that is what the court was going to do', as the everyone in the ratification debate, including the Anti-Federalists, believed that federal courts could find a statue to be unconstitutional. Marbury v. Madison was the first to exercise that power. The 1796 case of Hylton v. United States, under Chief Justice Ellsworth, shows that judicial review for constitutionality was not new to Marshall.

My earlier comment was "after Edwards v. Aguillard settled that teaching creationism in public schools was not constitutional". I believe this is clearly in the context of the post-Marbury v. Madison tradition of the last 200 years.

Your followup comment was "There are no constitutional restrictions on what can be taught in schools." As you are coming from a different tradition, and a distinctly minority and non-influential one, I think you would have been more clear had you written "The Constitution doesn't say the Supreme Court has the right to decide what can be taught in schools."

Otherwise, we were under the incorrect belief that summarizing Edwards v. Aguillard would be enough to show that your statement was incorrect.

Under the US legal tradition since the early 1960s, schools are not part of a free exercise of religion. See Engel v. Vitale, Abington School District v. Schempp, and related cases dealing with prayer in school for the logic.

> Remember all of their one-off, over the top, skeuomorphic apps?

I actually liked those a lot. They were the only things I've seen in my adult life that brought back the sense of fun and whimsy I had when I first used a Mac as a little kid.

Even though I never actually bought one (because I don't like walled gardens), I used to go into the Apple Store often just to play with the skeumorphic apps on the iPad. If iOS wasn't such a walled garden, I probably would have bought an original iPad just to play with those apps at home.

But where is the 200km of track? You also have to deal with the atmosphere. If the track is on the ground or low in the atmosphere, then when you come out of the "cannon" you would be torn apart. So that means the track (or at least the exit) needs to be above the atmosphere, which is quite a challenge in itself.
The US just uses different words, such as "campaign financing", or "creative accounting".
So, they say 'shop.oracle.com' was their 'main reason' for switching but that reads as a half-joke, half-serious riff on Oracle's famous ability to extract money from people; the other salient points I can find are:

- PL/SQL was harder to deploy than PL/pgSQL (as stated later)

- Only synchronous interface in Oracle's OCCI

- Problems with Oracle's development environments

- Not very responsive support from Oracle.

But the dev environment and support for Postgres are not talked about.

Also I can't quite figure out if "3x more hardware" is supposed to be a good thing on their last slide. It's possible that it's a good thing (if it's, say, we can replicate to more servers), but to me it doesn't read like one.
I can't say I haven't tried. Every 12 months or so I install Linux and so far always came back. I bought a Surface Pro 4 because it seemed so Appleish, only I hardly ever use it. Windows 10 seems like the worst of both worlds. I spent hours on hacking simple configurations (as in *nix) and feel under heavier surveillance than on OS X.

TUEs are pretty common in athletics. You cannot exclude athletes from medication, when they are probably the ones who need them the most. TUEs are a way to regulate that to ensure they aren't abused for competitive gain.

Agree with this comment. The culture of corruption is anathema to a lot of middle-class workers who sincerely believe in the value of hard-work and honesty and yet are prevented from doing even the most basic things in everyday life. You do not need to "have connections" to get what you're legally supposed to. Not to mention that there is just no comparison between the compensation offered in the US to anywhere else.

> Competition is always good, that is practically an axiom of capitalism.

Not quite. Taken too far it leaves nothing for R&D. Fortunately this tends to balance over time, in part because as margins drop small players are squeezed out, competition cools, and margins stabilize.

In fact, one of the biggest success stories for central planning and protectionism—postwar Japan—involved removing domestic competition for a handful of megacorps to let them charge higher prices, then encouraging them to pool R&D resources so they could Go Forth and Conquer.

So, as nice as competition is, always is an overstatement.
Probably not the best example, but the point is that we don't change our habits because we are never forced to, even when we make fairly big changes like moving 1000 miles away.

And when we can continue with the rest of our habits, it's hard to change individual ones like diet.

I am not sure what are you arguing here. If you have people reporting to you then you are a manager and your manager, who manages managers might know your and your reports salaries. All I said that the first level manager, whose reports do not have reports of their own is unlikely to know anyone salary but his own.

>How's it supposed to work when someone comes to their manager and asks for a raise

Every where I worked, you (as an individual contributor)go to the higher up, who knows your salary with the recommendation from your manager, saying that you're doing excellent job or whatever.

I don't think you can lump Russia and China together. China is truly "on lower moral/ethical grounds". I can't trust any country that has such pervasive censorship policy and such blatantly protectionist policies as China. Frankly I trust the Russian government as much as I trust the US government or as much as I trust my government (the Mexican government). I don't think I would feel safe living in China! I wouldn't even travel to China but that's just me.
Some people doubt some things. Probably nobody questions all facts. For me personally, my skepticism goes up when I see evidence of tainted research (medical studies that can't be repeated, nutrition 'facts' that seem constantly in flux, etc). That certainly doesn't mean we throw the baby out with the bath water - science has done wonders for all of us.

This makes me wonder how much evidence is needed before something is solid. How much peer review was there with the latest stuff about sugar and fat that we're reading now?
> - It would decrease Snowden's celebrity for him to return from exile.

I think it would be the opposite.

The longer the story drags on, the more people will forget it. Especially if he is cornered in Russia.

I'd be curious about Snowden writing a book about his late years at the NSA.
Thanks. The police officer made it seem quite to the contrary. It's a shame that one of the police officer's core duties _isnt_ clarifying finer points of laws even when it works in criminal's favor.
I think this depends on whether the policeman has probable cause and if the state has any statute or common law speaking to the question.

If you challenge the policeman's (assertion of cause and) lawful order, what a policeman can do is take you before a neutral magistrate and have them decide if you refused a lawful order. This usually involves handcuffs and jail so you cannot abscond beforehand. And more punishment if you are wrong. But again I think this depends on the statute/common law of the state.
Because:

(1) Rockets are proven technology, nobody has yet been able to put anything into LEO using a railgun

(2) Rockets have significant freedom when it comes to choosing the final orbit to deploy to

(3) Rockets are relatively cheap on the 'capex' front, a 200 km long electromagnetic launcher up the side of a mountain will be extremely expensive and may not even work...

Of course if you're so sure about this then maybe start a company to create an electromagnetic launcher, it should be easy to raise money assuming you are right.
Not everyone segments responsibility to only their own country. He did humanity a service. He certainly did not have a responsibility to intentionally withhold evidence of US surveillance in other countries. I believe he had a moral imperative to reveal that information.

You might hear an advice about going out to conferences or meetups and networking physically. For me this doesn't work as good.

Believe it or not, emailing an author about their blog post is much better than randomly talking to someone who shares your interests at a conference. The former being more targeted and personal.

I iPhone 6s+ owner here with iPhone 7+ on order. I wish some of the reviewers would cover the voice quality when using the iPhone as a phone. The iPhone 6s(+) added another microphone for noise cancellation and also it uses H.265 for FaceTime Video compression over cell networks (2x H.264 compression) and one is able to use VoLTE (I'm on Verizon). But I'm always looking for better cell phone quality.

I actually received a phone call while just to about to get on a NYC subway, 1 story below ground and the person couldn't wait until I took my subway trip, so we chatted for awhile while several subways passed both uptown and downtown (they come every 3 - 5 minutes in each direction). She claimed she could here me speaking just fine even when the subway is arriving :-)

But sometimes, people have trouble hearing me on the iPhone and on the Apple $80 in-hear microphone.

I'm curious if there are any upgrade to the iPhone 7 that improves the voice quality and I wish at least one reviewer would test this out.

Also, as an aside, I'm disappointed that the iPhone 7 doesn't cover band 66 (AWS-3) spectrum. I guess there aren't any modem chips out yet (at least not from Qualcomm which is what the Verizon and Sprint CDMA phones use).

Still in dense markets like NYC, even though Verizon has far more spectrum than AT&T, I expect that in the next year or two the existing spectrum will be filling up.

I've been using the iPhone leather case since the 5s (when it first came out) and I've only had one screen break.
I read this, and this feels like good advice, and then also seems like good advice, I think it might actually be good advice - which is sometimes hard to come by when it comes to questions like "How can I network more effectively?" Bravo, ThomPete, I really think you're on to something here, and I reckon I will try it out! :)

I'm not sure what you mean, especially since these licenses do expire if not renewed, whereas a 4473 records an event that doesn't stop being true.

However, it's still the case that the legislature sure thought it had made such an information transfer illegal (but it's Republican and the Governor and AG are Democrats, not the first time the AG has refused to do anything about state executive wrongdoing).

And the legislature made that even more clear by completely changing the way the physical license is issued, its now through each county's sheriff, with the only renaming common database being MULES (http://www.moga.mo.gov/mostatutes/chapters/chapText043.html):

"MULES", Missouri uniform law enforcement system, a statewide-computerized communications system provided by the patrol designed to provide services, information, and capabilities to the law enforcement and criminal justice community in the state of Missouri;

Which as I understand has much stricter and long standing protections against the obvious potentials for abuse.

And knz's point stands, nope, we don't trust the Feds on this.
On the one hand, one should aim to communicate successfully. If people routinely misinterpret questions, then one might want to stop using questions and stick to statements.

On the other hand, such misinterpretation - even though it's probably often an honest mistake - is also a signal that the other person might have incompatible goals for the conversation. I try to follow the Principle of Charity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity), the conversational equivalent of "Be liberal in what you accept". But if the other person doesn't do the same, the conversation can become unproductive, and I just disengage.

In addition to charitably reading the words of others, I do want my words to also be charitably read. Not (just) because it's hard not to leave room for misinterpretation, but also because it just feels better. After all, I joined the forum for fun.

Based on the details of the encounter, I would disagree. The police repeatedly (apparently) asked for his ID and escalated the encounter. Based on those facts, I would not assume that I was not being detained and was free to go.

The Supreme Court has held that even if the police have a flawed understanding of the laws and rules they are enforcing, their flawed interpretation governs the interaction on the street. So what the office believed matters, and that in turn guides his/her behavior. If you're in the right, you can usually be vindicated after a brief trip through the criminal justice system (arrest, jail, court). But it's guaranteed to ruin your day.

Safest bet would have been to ask "Am I free to go?" to find out.

Calling someone an idiot and a prude for having different values than you isn't going to help.

The difference between the U.S. and many parts of Europe is that in the U.S. you are actually allowed to have different values than whatever mainstream secular society declares. So if you want to cover your head, or raise your child in a sex-negative environment you have the right to do that.

Those things don't reflect my values. I walk around without anything on my head all the time, and if I had a child I would teach them about sex. But I'm glad I live in a country where I have a choice about it. I'll happily defend my "prudish" and "idiotic" neighbors because I have respect, even reverence for what I believe is a sacred responsibility that parents take for their children.

I'll discuss good parenting until I'm blue in the face, but I won't force my values on anyone, beyond protecting children from violence.
I once wondered what would happen if Intel bought Compaq in 1991, and eventually AMD does something similar in the early 2000s (it was in 2006 that they bought ATI for example). It would not quite be vertical integration, but the point is that it would be still a step forward.
On the other hand, it matters how many people are involved in the operation. A small two or three-person tech startup making a million dollars is different from a restaurant with thirty (? estimate) employees making a million dollars.

> Nobody is an alien in this country [USA] ...

There may be some terminology or crossed wires here. For example I have a US government issued card that literally says on it that I am a "resident alien", and is the reason I can be in the US. When filling out forms, such as employment related, or opening a bank account there will be somewhere that I have to say (again literally) that I am an alien. Also the government can revoke this at any point for any reason they deem fit, there is no right of appeal, nor do they even have to tell me why.

This is at least one way that someone is an alien in this country, using US government terminology.

Are you an American? Because plenty of countries strike that balance just fine.
Do they suffer much pain?
let me give a ridiculous argument that all 3 events A,B,C are equally likely:

* event A involves getting one 6 from six dice
* event B involves getting two 6's from twelve dice
* event C involves getting three 6's from eightteen dice

since all three events are in proportion,
1:6=2:12=3:18
the events themselves must all be equally likely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

these faulty arguments must have been thrown out all over the place in Newton's time... and I doubt many discussions today are more careful.

I can imagine a room full of politicians arguing over the likelihood of a certain event and three camps emerging as to whether they feel A, B, C is more likely --- throwing away the correct mathematical argument as too complicated.

--------------------------------------------

what is the correct argument anyway? For the third event

C(18,3)*(1/6)^3(5/6)^(18-3)

I believe as we put larger and larger numbers we do get a limit, so these numbers are tending to zero:

C(6*k,k)*(1/6)^k(5/6)^(5k) ---> 1/sqrt(2*pi*(5/6)*k) ---> 0

so that event A could be the most likely. This does not sound like Isaac Newton at all.. instead more like Jacob Bernoulli

I doubt that's all there is to it, there really are some cultural differences that show when you take western services and put them on the chinese market.

Amazon for example found that their site simply looked too "clean", had too much whitespace, for the chinese market. All that empty space was not taken as a clean look by users, but as a sign that there weren't a lot of products available. If I go to amazon.com now, there are literally 5 products on the landing page. On amazon.cn, more like 30-50.

(I am recounting this story as it was told by an Amazon employee who came to my Uni a while back)
That's a fair question. I think thr0waway1239 basically said what can be said about it. It's down to checks and balances. Right now, we have nearly unlimited State surveillance with little work to counter-balance that. So I would think anything that serves the end of transparency and "undersight" would be a positive simply by balancing out the current state of affairs.

I feel like we'd have to go a VERY long way before things flip-flop and the problem goes the other way. But I could be wrong, and just to be clear, this isn't something where I've sat down and planned out a detailed proposal or anything. It's more an idea that's been stirring on my mental "back burner" for a while, but has never been fully fleshed out.
