On the basis of this code, it would appear that Justices Thomas and Alito would need to recuse themselves from the overwhelming majority of the court's cases. Thomas especially runs afoul of Canon 3.B(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), and (f).

As a foreigner who isn't in the know, what does constitutional supremacy look like in practical terms? Isn't it still the judges who have the last word on how the constitution is to be interpreted and applied?
I definitely would give them term limits and a maximum age. Let's say 16 years and a president gets 2 nominations per term (more if a judge dies or gets sick). Watching Bader-Ginsburgh basically die on the bench should be a warning.
As a funded corporation pursuing sales and not just a casual hobbyist doing a tech demo, I have to ask:

>>and undemocratic

yes, by design and it should remain so..

This idea that democracy is the end all be all is false and dangerous, very dangerous. Mob rule is never the solution to anything (as we are seeing with the massive mobs in support of terrorist organization Hamas)

There are all kinds of checks built into the American REPUBLIC that are undemocratic purposefully to prevent the whims of the mob for ruling.

Personally I would like to remove many of the "democratic" processes we have put in place since the founding, namely the election of senators by popular vote, The senate should be returned to be appointed by State Legislators.

If you want to reform the Court system end Stare decisis and make the court rule on the constitutionally of each case on their merits based on the actual words of the Constitution as was their original charge and their constitutional mandate

Yes, they do. The board member croneyism keeping the working man down is a bit of a simple minded reddit fantasy - in the real world, public companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. They don’t serve the interests of some hidden cabal.

If you notice that companies make similar decisions as a result of changing market trends (a global pandemic, for instance) it’s probably because those decisions were deemed the most financially sound. They weren’t colluding to screw over employees.

Trees actually carbon sink via growth aka creating wood. The CO2 they breathe in is turned mostly into growth / basic functioning.

So no, you are NOT destroying the potential. In fact, if they grow and die and rot they are going to essentially release all the CO2 they captured.

https://extension.psu.edu/how-forests-store-carbon

So converting mature trees into lumber is essentially locking out the carbon capture more dramatically, especially if used in long term uses like housing etc. Being turned into firewood would be drastically bad for CO2 capture.

What am I missing that makes you think I don't understand?

You're tracking things at the content level? How will you deal with files that are purposely broken, or which cause the parser to take impractical (but finite) times to complete? Also, tracking the history of a class makes sense to some extent, but you say you want to commit every time there's a save. How will you maintain a history when most commits are likely to contain unparseable code and so break the continuity of objects?
To be fair, it really depends on the platform. There's an argument to be made that platforms where you care about the difference are specifically the ones where BLAKE3 is slower (no SIMD, no threads).

It's a council of 9 justices who vote on final decisions. They are appointed by politicians who the people vote for. This is intentional, for the same reason that the Senate wasn't meant to be directly voted for by normal citizens either: normal citizens usually don't have the political involvement necessary to make educated decisions about who to appoint the position. In theory, at least.

It's a balance between politicians playing the circlejerk game to help each other with their misdeeds, and average joes voting for imbeciles.

I don’t think this has any impact on the broader question of judicial vs constitutional supremacy.

I think this simply tries to address the fact that some of the justices have been ridiculously corrupt.

I mean, think about it, irrespective of your political leanings, you’re a judge whose basically forgone the much greater sums of money they could have made going into private service, in return for the comfort of a lifetime appointment, respect from the vast majority of people, and an effort to serve the country.

And there’s this 1 colleague of yours whose wife is raking in money from people whose cases you’re hearing, and is going on paid vacations with billionaires, and his mom is getting her house essentially gifted by another billionaire, etc.

You’d be pissed st this guy even if he was on “your side”. Just on a personal level it must be infuriating for the other 8 justices.

On older 64-bit CPUs without hardware SHA-256 (i.e. up to the Skylake derivatives), SHA-512 is faster.

Many recent Arm CPUs have hardware SHA-512 (and SHA-3).

Intel will add hardware SHA-512 starting with Arrow Lake S, to be launched at the end of 2024 (the successor in desktops of the current Raptor Lake Refresh).

Most 64-bit CPUs that have been sold during the last 4 years and many of those older than that have hardware SHA-256.

I was all ready to be pissed at the dark matter video but I surprised myself by liking it so much. Yup, definitely measuring mass, no getting around that. Is it a screwup in our measuring ability? An artifact of an even-weirder-than-imagined spacetime? Can't tell, doesn't matter. That isn't what's being discussed. It's mass, it's out there. Go from there.

Agree, it's a little grating on the ears, but, language change is part of life! There are examples out there of modern nouns that used to be something else, but because the change happened so long ago, we're no longer pained to hear it changing.

For example, "Flirt" used to be a verb that meant to make a brisk, jerky motion. Now it is either a verb, to playfully act attracted to someone one, or a noun, a person who flirts.

Sharing code is cool but OTOH the back and front end are two completely different beasts.

Trying to use client patterns to solve the server has been mostly a mistake. OTOH separating server and client and using an API to glue has produced a lot of issues too (SPAs, etc).

I think the future is a hybrid model where 80-90% of the front end is orchestrated from the server (LiveWire, Hotwire, LiveViews, etc) and 10-20% is a pure client side solution.
Yes. I would say the advantage of starting early in honest business can help to get a leg up enough to be in position to avoid any temptation toward unfair dealing, even more so over the long run.
None of the DINKs I know have expressed regret over not having had kids though one couple did decide to have a child and got divorced not long after he was born. It changed the dynamic of their relationship and it no longer worked.

I do wonder if DINKs have higher or lower divorce rates during childrearing years. I've known many couples who divorced after the kids got out on their own. They weren't staying together "for the sake of the kids" but raising children together was something that bound them together in a common mission. Once the kids were out on their own and established in their lives, the parents found they didn't have much in common and had different ideas on how to spend the rest of their lives. Do DINKs find their own common purpose that keeps them together or do they have a different relationship structure that really doesn't need one?
The trees are all pretty close to each other, about 3-4 city block radius (map of trees [1]). The issue is that as far as I can tell there is no existing LoraWAN gateway on The Things Network I can tap into [2], which means I will have to setup my own gateway. Which is fine, but it may prove to be difficult to get this onto a tall building since I am just an apartment dweller. At the very least I can put the gateway in my apartment window.

> If all these companies were so greedy, wouldn't the best way for a company to make money in this world of greedy corporations be to just keep lower prices, which would result in stealing all of the business from the companies that raised prices, and thereby making more money?

This is a good thinking. Further if they wanted to make even more money they could keep prices low until gaining a large amount of market share and then jack up prices once competition is scarce.

Thankfully as you’ve pointed out this either never happens or is not a sign of a greedy company.

This is a band-aid on a broken leg. There is no enforcement and no penalty for walking right past ethics into outright bribery for SCOTUS and some sheet of paper with no teeth isn't changing that.

They may as well fine them $50 every time they accept a bribe.

Term limits would go much, much further and you'll notice the absence.
Frankly you are making a massive assumption. We don't know how deep this behavior goes with the other justices. In 2018, Ginsburg had more trips paid for by others than any other justice for example. Since 2004, Bryer had more trips than any other justice.

The fact that people are only calling out one person seems very telling to me. This problem is far deeper than one guy or one side.

Turn that around - would you, please, explain how this is extortion.

It sounds like both parties benefit from the arrangement, and they've renewed the agreement numerous times. Monopolistic or anti-competitive, I could see that, but I'm not sure I follow your point about it being extortion.
Good! Let's bring it all into the open. At a minimum it will show that these supposedly ethical people are basically just playthings paid for by billionaires. It's pretty crazy that low level government employees have way stricter ethical requirements than the higher ups.

Novelists and lawyers both do writing, but I wouldn't call their output the same thing. You might call legal writing more useful or novelists more insightful, but that's a matter of opinion. One is not intrinsically more valuable than the other.

> The idea that math is only about rigor isn't intrinsic; it's a historical accident that people seem to not realize is optional

I mean, it is by definition. To a mathematician, doing calculations is not mathematics, no more than spelling is doing poetry. Which is not to say that doing calculations is without value! I think what we have here is (ironically) an unrigorous definition.
His signature is to be taken as indication that he will abide by it lest the Court be forced to, unprecedentedly, invent punishments - or worse, have them prescribed by the Congress. It would also make the situation even worse for the two members who got this written if they were seen to not sign the code that was signed by all of the other justices.

This is a really odd take on the function of humor. Characterizing all jokes in this way is a mistake.

Creating original jokes is very deliberate and requires lateral thinking, familiarity with the topic, and awareness of your audience. It's very conscious!

Deploying unoriginal or clichéd jokes to a positive reception calls for some of the aforementioned.

Comedy is widely acknowledged as a means of commenting or contemplating on topics that are controversial or uncomfortable.

Some types of humor are contradictory. This is bullshitting and sarcasm. Plenty are not a fan but it could also be argued that it's useful for approaching truth or good ideas by creatively exploring the space of falsehoods and bad ideas. Conversational TDD, if you will. Bullshitting specifically can be an exercise in role-playing, which may be useful practice for situations that may actually arise.

Some jokes betray no particular belief at all but still require that you be witty or clever. These are your puns, double entendres, innuendos, and so on.

Thinking of humor as lazy or useless or some vaguely compulsive behavior is some kind of thing.

Or, to borrow a clichéd bit of sarcasm, you sound like you're a lot of fun at parties. ;)

Of all the Twitter replacement wannabes I think Spoutible has been the most successful at capturing the essence of what it was that made Twitter fun early on. The new 'news feed' was a much better take on getting breaking news than the other services. The nerd migration to Mastodon instances was pretty predictable and the Fediverse is sooo clunky but hey following hashtags is a win. Bluesky is an interesting take but missed on news and an influx of indiscriminate Twitter users being invited in was probably a mistake. I haven't tried Threads but then again I'm not invested (financially or mentally) in the Meta universe.

As previously discussed in other HN threads from last week, these penalties are DOA. Some of them, such as the liquidated "damages" clause which is clearly just a penalties clause, are straight up illegal. Courts will punish parties attempting to enforce a penalties clause, usually by requiring them to pay the opposing parties' legal fees.

I suspect there’s a lot of gray areas and I suspect justices of all stripes have tripped over the gray area multiple times.

But I think all the justices can see what Thomas was doing was pretty awful and I doubt any of the other justices, even those whose views I find abhorrent, would have gone that far.

And we’re only talking about justices’ actions themselves. This ethics code very clearly brings in consideration of the judge’s spouse’s activities as well, something which, once again is a major problem with Thomas, and none of the other judges as far as I can tell.
Investment has a precise meaning in accounting, and the money Google pays Apple does not satisfy that definition. You can tell because Google did not receive any stocks, equity shares, notes or bonds in exchange for the money given.

It is a marketing expense is not an investment. Whether it helpful to Google's bottom line for Google to incur the expense depends on all the other expenses entailed in pursuing the revenue opportunity. Programmer salaries for instance. Investments don't have that quality where the attractiveness of the investment depends on many other investment amounts.

Financial accounting is not hard to learn. It is not quantum physics. Is it too much to ask that if you have not yet learned it, then please do not use terms with technical meanings such as "return on investment" or ROI?
