Right below that it clarifies

> If the President claims authority to act but in fact exercises mere “individual will” and “authority without law,”
the courts may say so. Youngstown, 343 U. S., at 655 (Jackson, J., concurring). In Youngstown, for instance, we held
that President Truman exceeded his constitutional authority when he seized most of the Nation’s steel mills. See id.,
at 582–589 (majority opinion). But once it is determined
that the President acted within the scope of his exclusive
authority, his discretion in exercising such authority cannot
be subject to further judicial examination.
> And yet he left office on the appointed day and lost an election.

Very narrowly, and not but for the uncharacteristic acts of a small number of others like Mike Pence. It could have gone very differently very easily.

I mean, they were pretty good. The founding documents addressed many problems that been seen in British political history. I think they may have lacked tools to prevent two party rule, but some were aware it would be a problem.

From George Washington's presidential farewell address: "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

I do know how to answer most of the questions.

The program is a gopher server. The list you see is the result of sending several hundred (sequential) requests to the server. The number of calls to open() vs. close() can be explained [1], so (to me) nothing unusual there. I don't directly call mmap(), munmap() or fstat(), so I'm assuming there's some code in some library I'm using that's doing those calls. And that's the assumption I would have with ioctl() as well (well, I now know better, but in investigating the issue originally I might just ignored ioctl() along with mmap()).

There is a lot of reading, due to the requests (blog entries). Writing is to a socket.

You are right in that there is too much epoll_ctl(), but it's unclear to me if I would have found the actual issue. I did do change the code to perform the real system call before registering, but that had little effect.

[1] Not all requests are valid, for instance. In this case, it's a mirror of my blog, and due to how I use the file system as a DB, there may or may not be files of meta data that exist.

In the common case, path segments are publicly available to any network entity. They are fetched from the control service and used to construct forwarding paths.

It's really impossible to understand and determine before hand how the court would rule on any of these theoretical cases that may result as a consequence of this decision. It is up to further cases to actually establish was constitutes "official" versus "unofficial" capacities as President and we can absolutely not guess before hand what that entails. From the decision, it seems that only those duties constitutionally mandated would fall under the "official" capacity, with quite a lot of leeway for determining how to evaluate individual actions.

Also I think we should all be reminded that there is separation of powers for a reason. The President is ultimately largely beholden to Congress. The government cannot sink into a dictatorship without the explicit approval of the majority of Congress. It is Congress' duty to remove Presidents from office that it feels are a danger to the country.

All these checks and balances still exist and will still be enforced. The President can not unilaterally go off the rails as many of these extreme hypotheticals seem to be implying.
Obviously, but we're to believe it'd be entirely legal to do so?

When it comes to it, this exact thing will be covered by immunity because of how things work.

It's worth considering the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, that was killed by Obama outside of a combat zone. (I'm avoiding the word "assassinated" because it seems overly charged.)

In theory, some prosector could have decided to charge Obama with a crime, and maybe even achieved a conviction in a jurisdiction where he's unpopular.

This decision says that shouldn't happen because it was an official act as president.

Of course, if congress doesn't like something a president is doing, they can change the laws and remove his or her legal authority to do something.

Trump would argue he didn't lose the election, and would still be in power if he had his way. I think we should be making it harder, not easier, for the democratic process to be subverted.

To be fair there is still a very long way to go if you look at the actual details.

It might be dysfunctional but largely in very different ways (unless you view it extremely superficially).
A do-over of both impeachment trials in the Senate would seem to be necessary, given that many senators went on record as saying they believed presidents were subject to criminal prosecution and chose not to convict for that reason. This changes that calculus.
They could be prosecuted, but prosecutors generally don’t like to bring losing cases. And the actions being official acts was already a defense. The distinction was that you could still get prosecuted, but you just had to show a non corrupt intent in doing the action and get the case easily dismissed. Now you don’t even need to show that you had non corrupt intent - just claim official acts and no lawsuit is possible in the first place.
Explanations based on the Bernoulli effect are trying to explain a speed differential by pretending that two particles that were separated on the leading-edge of an airfoil, to then travel one above the airfoil, one below, would then rejoin at the trailing edge of the airfoil. And so, if you were to change the upper-camber of the airfoil, the flow on the upper part would need to accelerate to be able to join the trailing edge at the same time. And that would create a lower pressure, therefore lift.

The nonsensical part of this model is that a particle on an upper streamline has anything to do with a particle on a lower streamline and that it is trying to keep up with it. Not so of course.

But the lift created by a pressure difference due to a locally faster flow still holds.

> So when you mention AoA you implicitly lead to the explanation that lift, in majority, is not based on the Bernoulli effect.

For a NACA 0012, you'll need an AoA, to have a faster flow on the upper part of your airfoil, as it it symmetric. Other airfoils are perfectly fine creating lift at 0 AoA.

Sounds like “nuke anything you want and walk away free”, hard to believe there would be no catch or failsafe.

Absurd, to the point of being hilarious. Could a president use this (immunity and nukes) to become an absolute ruler?

Edit: a failsafe is there, see sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40849357
The court only said that a specific thing (him directing the justice department to look into the election) was an official act. The person is presumptively immune from prosecution for official acts under the constitution.

I mean, it's still really bad, but a few slivers less bad than you say :P
Seal Team Six is pretty clearly not a privately held steel mill; Truman was fairly clearly not the Commander in Chief of US Steel.
> there is also no way to prove it’s “unofficial,” because any conversation the president has with their military advisers (where, for instance, the president tells them why they want a particular person assassinated) is official and cannot be used against them.
This fails to acknowledge that today's decision has a weak/non-existent constitutional basis.

I defy anyone to craft any political system or subset thereof that correctly anticipates societal shifts over the course of two and a half centuries.

Why not? US presidents have murdered US citizens abroad with drones. All he needs to do is claim he did it under national security. SCOTUS explicitly calls out that the presidents motives are immaterial for determining immunity or not.

Being successful and being “the main anything” is not the same though.

Linux as an operating system is very succesfull. Used by all the time on a ton of servers powering a lot of important things. It is also not the main desktop OS. Both of these statements can be, and are, true.

I'm not sure that really sells the UAW one way or the other on it. The companies would probably like people to think the union wants so much it'd impede being able to switch to good thing™. The UAW would probably like people to think electric production can be done with better wages than companies want to push for without having a big impact on the output and just eating at evil management profits™.

The 0th article more or less says that and gives that outright as the reason Tesla is ahead. GM is behind in electric vs Tesla for lots of reasons and that may be one meaningful one but it doesn't really support why it just asserts it should be so. If it were that direct and simple then the unionized brands in the US would be long gone by now.

The 1st article does an even worse job summarizing the situation, leaving the description of what the UAW wants to the manufacturer management.

The 2nd article actually has some good data but it seems to say things like Michigan still has the most production and lacks information like "GM caved and all of their plants are in the other states in that list".

I'm not saying the UAW is great for electric production or the UAW is bad for it, I'm just saying none of those sources really backs what you set out to say with them in the first place.
Haven't we had Presidents order airstrikes on American citizens in the Middle East before without a trial because of their association with jihadist groups?

At a certain point the "constitutionality" doesn't matter; it's hard to make a case have a meaningful outcome when the plaintiff is dead.
this is what i’m thinking. HTTP itself only overtook Gopher when it was released into the public domain, to compete with Gopher’s proprietary licensing.
You listed two extremes to demonstrate the difference, which is fine, but what about the example of Trump encouraging insurrection? It seems just a teeny bit relevant here, given that it is what prompted the case in the first place. And insurrection is definitely related to governing, so you can't discard it from consideration just because it's nothing like murdering a business partner. He could claim that an illegal decision was about to be made and so he had to use his executive authority to counteract it. That sounds like an official duty to me.
What's stupid about it?

Dig was an early and widespread DNS CLI tool. "dog" is a logical name for a next-gen dns cli, and of course that exists. "Doggo" is both a pretty standard linguistic drift pattern of English slang (random -> rando, weird -> weirdo), a common internet term of endearment for "dog", and a logical derivation of *-go for go-based tools and software.
'Official act' does not currently have a legal definition. It isn't defined in this majority opinion and it hasn't been given a definition previously.

Been playing since very early release and love this amazing game.
This is at least the second time in this thread you've said something like an official act can't violate someone's constitutional rights "by definition". I'm wondering what definition you refer to.

That said, it's obviously a false statement. By your argument, the president ordering flight 93 to be shot down on 9/11 would not be an official act. You might now retort something about extenuating circumstances, but really that would only show you to be entirely wrong about your original assertion.

I recommend you edit your posts to correct your mistake.
Yeah but isn’t “the president has presumptive immunity for any act done in the service of the executive” and “the president can order military executions with immunity” kinda the same assertion, assuming “presumptive” is allowed to do its work? What’s the difference? I don’t understand how you could possibly argue political violence by the executive is “personal”, when they claim it’s done in the service of their oath…

> Tesla is the fastest growing manufacturing company in the history of the world

Is it? BYD was founded the same year and is producing nearly 2x as many cars as Tesla. NIO sold it's 500,000th car within 9 years of its founding, it took Tesla 15 years to do the same. We don't even need to look outside of car manufacturers to find counterexamples. Tell me again about it not being a cult.
The Supreme Court wasn't even asked to define exactly what is official versus unofficial in this case. It will now return to a lower court to address that point, which is the normal way for the process to work.
> We can’t stop the country every time we think the president broke a law and have a trial. He is leading armies, etc.

Has that been an issue so far?
That's explicitly arguing for the possibility then? Seems like splitting hairs and not a big leap to understand why the dissent might reference a take so wild as - yeah it's okay to murder your political rivals if it's official!

Would be fun to read about the process of building and selling it!
The current market has me absolutely terrified. Twitter was one of my dream companies to work for because, for anyone unfamiliar, they had incredible open source projects and the complexity/reqs of running it were intense. I love the challenge of scaling systems, it's like building fast cars and squeezing what you can out of what you've got. The market getting flooded with thousands of Twitter, Meta, Google, etc SWE/SREs who can work at scale has seriously constricted what felt like was finally sysadmins/engs being appreciated for what they do.

I've also heard of people getting THOUSANDS of resumes. I was hiring 2 SRE 1s last year and barely received any at all. Unless my Recruiter got thousands and filters that well. This WAS before a ton of Meta/G/etc layoffs though. I wonder if they've flooded the market now. I had both hired by I believe last summer, so prior to a bunch of layoffs.

I didn't expect them to know much more beyond a computer and a thirst to learn/program. I'm self-taught as is my entire team. We didn't need Stanford grads. We hired a previous IT Admin who had never touched distsys/code (me at one point) and promoted one of our customer support agents to SRE. I'm very proud of that because it was incredibly hard for me to go break into the field.
These Elon digs whenever it is deemed remotely relevant are bizarre, at this point. It doesn't seem to be adding value to the discussion at best, and at worst it seems to violate the HN guidelines.
Well no, technically the president can use the military to stop impeachment. That would be considered an "official act" and they would be immune.

`for(;;);` does not terminate; yet it can be removed if it precedes an unreachability assertion.

The only issue is that writing to a stream is visible behavior. I believe that it would still be okay to eliminate visible behavior if the program asserts that it's unreachable. The only reason you might not be able to coax the elimination out of compilers is that they are being careful around visible behavior. (Or, more weakly, around external function calls).
So if the President calls another official over the secure line and tasks them to falsify election results and then prevents the transcript from going into the archive, how do you even get em? Practically speaking. That's the problem, that's how it works -- use the office immunity, plausible deniability and procedure rules to your advantage. Making it so is asking for trouble, just waiting to be abused the hell of.

It's the same things cops do, jeez.
Obviously this will all go into research.
