> If Congress started adding clauses to legislation to the tune of "this law is not subject to judicial review", the judiciary is fully within it's [sic] rights as outlined by the Constitution to strike down the law

I'm not suggesting that Congress go that far. But don't forget the Exceptions and Regulations Clause in Article III: "In all the other Cases before mentioned [i.e., establishing various grounds of federal-court jurisdiction], the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."

That sounds pretty plenary to me. And Congress has sometimes exercised that power, e.g.:

* Severely limiting and even foreclosing judicial review of certain types of decision by immigration authorities: 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g)

* Ditto for decisions about Social Security: 42 U.S.C. § 405(h)

My vague recollection from law school is that SCOTUS has said that this is OK as long as Congress provides sufficient due process via other means.

> The issue of constitutionality is purely the realm of the judiciary. No one else.

It's astonishing how such an exalted view of the judge's role has taken root and spread like kudzu from its origins in John Marshall's brazenly-bootstrapped argument in Marbury v. Madison (and the All-Writs Act).
So it's another reskined VS Code.
> Why so much distrust for our civil servants?

What have they done to earn my trust? Why would I choose to outsource critical decisions pertaining to my own life and affairs to strangers who are not meaningfully accountable to me and have no direct understanding of my values or interests, regardless of how well-intentioned they may be?

What possible reason could there be to give civil servants authority to make decisions that materially impact us without any oversight or accountability?

> Our food shouldn't contain allergens

But one person's allergens are another's tasty ingredients. I love my sesame bagels. I don't even know what food would remain if you banned all the allergens. Tapioca powder with beef flavors?

Sesame is one thing. It's delicious but probably not a major subsistence food for anyone. Chinese restaurants would miss their sesame oils though.

Next, it's hard enough to ban fish and shellfish. Many subcultures depend on them, especially near major bodies of water.

No tree nuts or peanuts? A lunch staple gone for millions. Jam will be so lonely.

Or wheat. Or milk. Or egg. Or soy? That's the end of breakfast and bakeries and dessert, I guess. The vegetarians will get awfully hungry.

I think at that point, the only thing left to eat would be the regulators themselves. Karma's never been so tasty...

My understanding of ethnicity on a genetic level is basically that it's the degree of relatedness above "clan", e.g., you have something of a hierarchy from: individual > family > clan > ethnicity. What's the issue with declaring some sufficiently high degree of relatedness ethnicity? Or is relatedness that diffuse not measurable?

Not sure about the SP3, but my SP4 (which, btw, had no problems running Linux) was afflicted by the so called "flickergate", and I didn't manage to replace it. Since then, I sworn off any Microsoft hardware. Their software and OS, I had sworn these off years before, which makes these devices even less appealing...

The 'somewhere else' is a big issue though. In order to deal with Northern Europe winter power demands you probably want those solar panels to be on the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere.

That's along ways away. It'll take a lot of costly electrical infrastructure to move that power.

Even worse, if you want to work during the night, you also want the solar panels about 45 degrees west. So like in South America. Tough luck for those places where that sweet spot is in the middle of a large ocean.
I see that my comment came across as snarky. I guess the point I was trying to make was that the results of clinical trials treating humans with antidepressants make me more confident of their impact on depression and anxiety than studies on mouse models using behavioral readouts that may or may not map perfectly on the subjective human experience of anxiety and depression. Again, I don’t doubt anyone who takes omega 3s and experiences an improvement in anxiety and depression! That seems great!
Fortunately tools to fix this issue on Linux exist, like Bubblewrap and Dbus-Proxy, but they require custom configuration per software, so almost no distro uses them directly, but we do have Flatpak that basically uses both of these tools under the hood, unfortunately, it also has its own "limitations", like the amount of packages and some weird behavior in some packages.

I'm trying to solve this issue by using both of these tools with NixOS [1], where I can choose how much security I want for each package, like limiting the files that they can access and/or the entire dbus (practically simulating Flatpak). I mostly use it on proprietary software, like Games, as they have a history with RCEs...

In the end, security is a tradeoff with convenience.

> Better is subjective. It's maybe more capable. It's also easier to create confusing DACL structures that do not do what you think they do or leave surprising gaps in coverage.

There is nothing confusing about it at all. The problem tends to be poor understanding and poor default configuration in all these things. I mean the same can be said for the average linux user, who ambles on in and 777's everything.

We added network cards to everything at the same time networks finished moving from being isolated to being permanently globally interconnected. Machines that had a multi user capability (that didn't cost thousands) fared this transition better than those that did not.

I've run windows terminal services for about 20 years on and off. They did fine. Hell half our clients are still running citrix and terminal services.

It wouldn't matter if it's ~ or not. The software runs as you and so can access anything anywhere you have rights to. Which is why chroot, namespaces and pledge all exist, and windows really does not have equally secure equivalents to these technologies. To the extent it does, commercially available software does not seem to take any advantage of it.

Windows has full virtualization at service and process level if you want to have it. Device guard/credential guard and app-v for example. I agree with your last point that commercial software doesn't take any advantage of it, but neither does firefox which will quite happily shit on your ~/.profile...

Hey I rather like the idea of taking screenshots and dredging them for info. It'll immediately stop MSPs writing all their clients' passwords in a .txt file on their desktop (I've seen this several times)...
> inherent difficulty requiring years of meticulous and dedicated hard work

I'm not quite convinced of this. If you watch the video in the article they demonstrate the procedure. Considering that they typically paint the rhino's horns with substances to make them undesirable to poachers, they clearly have the capacity to subdue and restrain the rhino already. And in the video they show a person using a standard hand drill, who drills into the rhino. You can see this at 0:20 and them insert the device at 0:34, where just after they show another horn being drilled into. And they do it several times throughout the video while the narrator explains the process.

I suspect that the 3 years is far less due to the actual "installing" it into the rhino (as it looks like once subdued the process is really <15 minutes...) but rather to things like regulation and determining the nuances like "how many isotopes do we need" (clearly more than one), "what types of radiation are more detectable?" "what levels of radiation will sustain and be detectable when transporting horns across international airports?", "Are we causing harm to the rhinos through the radiation?", "does the radiation leech into the rhino's body, such that while the device is safe inside the horn it would be harmful," "how often does that happen, especially given when they fight?", "do the devices stay in place for sustained periods of time?" and so on. There's quite a lot of important questions and many I'm sure that an actual expert in this could ask, but I'm nowhere near a rhino expert (or even enthusiast) [though am experienced with radiation technologies] and I have a bunch of questions that would reasonably take years to adequately answer.

It isn't "ah fuck, rhinos are so hard to catch that we're only able to catch one every 2 months" but "okay, we've installed these devices in 5 rhinos, are they still there 3 years later?" and "oh fuck, that type of glue and that drilling depth didn't work because we lost 10 devices in the first year. Time to update our methodology."

I find these kinds of questions magnitudes more likely than the explanation that they couldn't catch 20 rhinos and drill into their horns. Especially given what can be seen in the video about how the rhinos act.
Its strategic value is exactly as described: a buffer state. It gives us months, if not years, of warning and can potentially totally rebuff an aggressive Russian state.

To be confused about this at this point reveals either profound ignorance or extreme motivated reasoning.

Right. But the elected officials can vote to remove members of the supreme court (or federal judges in general), though the bar for doing so is set very high. And the supreme court can't remove elected officials. So the supreme court's power over elected officials is not absolute.

The idea in US constitutional law is one of balance: we have three branches of government, and each are granted powers that can act as a check on the powers of the others. It's far from perfect in practice, but the intent is good, I think.
Sounds bad to whom? I’m talking about the direction from user to AI, not the direction from AI to user. If some of the audio gets delayed on the way to the AI, the AI can be paused. If some of the audio gets delayed on the way to a human, the human can’t be paused, so some buffering is needed to reduce the risk of gaps.

B2 has no known unsafe max limit and provides FAD+ for neurons, super important for electron transport chain. Megadosing B2 is known to improve migraine over time. B6 however can be toxic and the overload has about the same symptoms as deficiency, so one has to be careful there.
I probably should get the actual paper, yes. The articles are not that great, one has to read between the lines, that they talk about iron ore and not pure iron. Or rather iron slag. The byproduct of melting.

But I meant the economics of getting the liquid iron (or slag) to the holes. If there were many furnaces nearby, maybe they just used that and carried it some meters, but longer distances?
Chevron codified what had been happening since the New Deal. Raimondo codifies what has been happening since Chevron! Pretty ironic. Each case was a bookend to the preceding trend.
Conceptually, a `<Suspense>` component acts like a `try` boundary around a given component subtree. If _any_ component inside of that subtree suspends, it needs to "bubble up" to the ancestor `<Suspense>`.

But, React implements the core component tree rendering logic via a single `while` loop that iterates downwards. That's flat, logic-wise, whereas the tree is nested.

Meanwhile, React already had similar behavior for its error boundaries, where a thrown error in a component would get caught by the component rendering logic and it would "bubble up" to the nearest error boundary.

So, they opted to implement Suspense's mechanics the same way, except that instead of throwing an error, you throw a `Promise`.

Meanwhile, React components on the client have always been pure synchronous functions. No `async/await`, no generators, and thus no support for returning a promise from a function.

With React Server Components, React now supports `async function` components _on the server only_. They've done some prototyping with support async components on the client (and I think even briefly accidentally had a couple releases where that technically was turned on), but there's some kind of either technical issue or release planning issue that's kept them from building out that support for client components (possibly support for `AsyncContext` in browsers).
My understanding of the case was that he consensually visited prostitutes in Sweden, which is legal, where he engaged in consensual sex with them.

Again, consensually, he did this without wearing a condom.

However, under Swedish law, that is rape and the charge is against the customer (not the provider).

So, yes, the women agreed on the facts of the case (Assange showed up and we had sex without a condom) but it was entirely consensual though illegal.

While I do have some understanding of why Sweden has a law like this (to encourage condom use) I don't think it fits anyones conventional definition of rape and under normal circumstances this would not be an offense that the Swedish government would be extraditing someone for (it's a nominal fine in most cases).

Please if I misunderstood something let me know, because, it has been years since I significantly researched this and it's one of the most politicized cases in memory.

Shouldn't that require a Constitutional Amendment?

Such a law would bypass Constitutional Separation of Powers (with limited privileges and immunities) i.e. checks and balances.

Why isn't the investigative/prosecutorial branch distinct from the executive and judicial branches though?
Yes, the executive is allowed to decide how the laws are executed. And in the event that such laws are ambiguous, the courts are supposed to make a judgement on what the law is. If you default to just deferring to the interpretation of the executive, why have a legislative branch at all? Why not just pass a law that says "regulate all the things"?

Our government is intentionally limited. It may only do the things it has been explicitly granted the power to do. When whether that power has been granted is ambiguous, that is something that needs actual judgement on. We should not have a default to the government's own interpretation. We certainly don't (try to) default to the courts just assuming whatever the police say the law is when it's ambiguous is what the law is. Why should we do that for other regulations?
Just so everyone knows -- you should always be able to call the issuing bank to verify the legitimacy of a cashier's check. They can confirm whether the check exists for the given check number, date, and amount, and that it has not been cashed. (Also, Google the phone number for the bank, don't use a phone number listed on the check itself.)

This is what makes cashier's checks fairly scam-free if you know that.

(Also remember, this is about cashier's checks, not ordinary personal checks.)

Of course this does require that you make your buyer wait while you phone the bank (and possibly do this during bank business hours), get put on hold, etc. And deal with the social discomfort of so obviously not trusting them. And then the risk of what might happen afterwards once you discover they are trying to scam you -- do they just go away or do they get violent or something?

But if you tell them upfront that you'll be calling to verify the check when you meet, it's much more comfortable. Especially because if they're trying to pull the scam, they'll just give up and not meet in the first place.

(Oh, and obviously never accept extra payment and then separately refund a difference. That's scam avoidance 101. If they even suggest that, stop talking to them.)
> They could have no deaths for years, then suddenly a whole lot after a bad software push.

The software release process itself becomes the thing that is tested statistically. If they release 100 versions, and each is safer than the last, it’s silly to think that one can’t be confident in the safety of the 101st without some gov’t software approval/validation process.

Anecdotally, a family friend was barely clinging on to life for a couple weeks enduring heavy pain meds and abject misery. Only when his close friend, and executor of his estate, sat beside him and told him everything was going to be alright did he finally find peace and let go. He was gone within 30 minutes.
You might not, but nobody? There are those that do. There are even TV shows, multiple reality shows for watching people do just that. It’s not easy living for sure but getting a cabin out in the woods and trying to live off the land is totally a thing people do.

For a real world example, you don’t go to the woods outside of Seattle because there are unhoused people living there and it's dangerous to go there.
Slightly off-topic, but not really - cultivating mushrooms is really fascinating. And those that hold magic offer an additional element of very special satisfaction. If you're looking for a new hobby, give it a try! It's easy to start with a colonized growth kit - you can buy those online.

If you like it, the next level is growing your own mycelium in liquid culture (basically in honey water).

If that works out will, use it to colonize your own substrate.

Then, you can produce your own (storable) spore prints from harvested mushrooms. Which you can use to create new mycelium liquid cultures. And the cycle can be repeated indefinitely, with tons of harvest!

What I'm trying to explain is that for the top level juniors who become pros, it is not a hobby or "thing", it is their entire universe. Top junior players that expect to become pros are already touring the world when they are in their mid-teens. Their entire world is their parents, their coach, their peers at their tennis academy, and the players they see at tournaments. They are living and breathing it, and little else. The top junior players often do not participate in regular high schooling and the promising ones that go pro young, don't go to university at all. Almost none of the top pros even today have ever gone to university. The players that do make it to successful careers in the top 100, don't make it with the attitude of being half in with a backup plan. They make it with the idea that tennis is their entire life and purpose.

It would be ahistorical, at least: many of the Jews in 1920s Germany had fled pogroms in Ukraine and Russia just 20 or 30 years prior. Many were not particularly integrated, and only spoke Eastern Yiddish dialects.

(The Jews who were already in Germany prior were much more assimilated and less religious than their Eastern counterparts, which is why they often have more Germanic names. This appears in other forms across European Jewry, e.g. Litvaks, being more Western, typically being less religious and more assimilated than the Galitzianers.)
They are certainly more accountable than someone appointed by a politician. If you have a real issue with an elected official they're at least somewhat incentivized to listen to you. This is especially true at the level we're talking about - local government where they're dealing with constituents dozens of times a day every day. These elections are decided by a few hundred people at most - often by a few dozen. Yes it falls apart when you start talking about US Senators and the like but I'd argue that's a problem of scale and not a failing of the electoral model generally.
