At any time we could have a change of circumstances and need the products of the big pharmaceutical companies for the rest of our lives.

I feel morally obligated to keep myself fit and healthy as a personal boycott of the pharmaceutical companies. This means taking care of nutrition and being physically active. This provides no guarantee of not needing their products, however, not doing this makes it inevitable that I will need their products.

It is no accident that Western democracies allow companies to park their profits in tax havens, tax havens that are typically provided security and defence by the likes of Great Britain due to former colonial ties. Sanctions should apply to countries that have these tax loop holes.

Not the exact scenario you described, but a similar scenario occurred in the past:

"... al-Awlaki ... was an American-Yemeni lecturer, and jihadist who was killed in 2011 in Yemen by a U.S. government drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a drone strike from the U.S. government."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki
The US killed itself.
I'm not sure what you're arguing here? If someone is accused of committing three crimes, but only one is "serious", then the person should only be prosecuted on the one, but not the other two?

What is your view of the events that transpired?
CDPush does the pushing. It's not a database.
The previous POTUS is accused of using his office to perform a series of actions that culminated in disruption of the function of Congress.

Several Congresspeople then concluded he could not be impeached because by the time they were able to consider the question, he had left office.

This ruling by SCOTUS suggests there is now no avenue to hold such a President accountable for such actions.

... and that's before we broach the question of whether "Removal from the Oval Office" is sufficient punishment for all manner of crime the President could commit from his position of power, because that is the upper limit of the effect of a Congressional impeachment. This seems to give a sitting President carte blanche to throw the Constitution in a wood-chipper if he can interpret it is within his official acts to do so.

He should be charged with war crimes, like more or less all US (and many other) presidents. Of course it's not gonna happen.
I do a ton of devops/infrastructure so I hate to use myself as any sort of benchmark, but is it really that hard to run your own VPS with Nginx? Especially nowadays, there are tons of pre-canned examples you can tweak and AI can write most any nginx.conf you need as well. If you're just serving static content, you can scale to massive heights with Nginx on a small VPS with Cloudflare in front.
That, and "where do you see yourself in five years" are, in my opinion, two of the most pointless things an interviewer can ask. The answers give no real insight as to their suitability for the role, and both questions basically require the candidate to qive a BS answer.
If you're calling a submission a dupe, say so.

In this case, there's an 11-hour old submission, but at only 6 comments, it's well below the threshold I (a non-privileged HN participant) usually call for dupes, that being ~20 comments.

So no, this is not a dupe.

Edit: For clarity, from the HN FAQ:

Are reposts ok?

If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.

<https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html>

"Significant" is undefined. I've given my own threshold which AFAIU is roughly that which HN mods use. But I am not one of those mods.
I know this is what you're saying but just to head any other knee-jerk responses, US citizens do not lose their rights to a trial in the US, for breaking a US law, because they happen to be outside of the US.

Relatedly, when the question is "is this person protected by the Constitution," imagine a Venn diagram where one circle is "US citizens" and the other circle is "human being physically present within the United States." Debate over the 100-mile "border zone" notwithstanding, the entire thing is filled in. If you are a US citizen anywhere, or a person inside the US, you have all the Constitutional rights.
> But owners sometimes complained that it was tricky to get their vehicles serviced or repaired, because there weren’t enough certified Fisker repairers and technicians

I would bet money that most of the "certification" process for technicians (aside from high voltage electrical safety, which is common to ALL EVs) is an NDA that grants access to unnecessarily proprietary diagnostic software. All this fancy talk about certification is just an excuse to charge consumers more for maintenance by adding an illusion of complexity.

This sort of crap is exactly why we need stronger Right to Repair protection. If a company [that sells consumer products] goes under, the specs, schematics, drawings, and source code, etc should go into the public domain. It can be the owners' job to parse through it all and figure out what to do about making/procuring replacement parts and finding mechanics to service the technology, but that data should at least be available.
It aims to be "rules for thee but not for me", and the court's choice of who they hold to the rules. It's a more realistic and relevant flaw.

Qualified immunity is used as a defense in a lot of these cases.

Practically speaking, law enforcement does have broad authority to kill people. So long as that death falls under the training guidelines written by the department, then it's unlikely the officer in question will face any punishment.

Now, killing a person might be seen as a violation of their civil rights, entitling their estate to compensation for the death. But that's a punishment for the state, not the individuals involved.

Yes, it is correct to file a CVE of the highest priority against your project, because "only intended for processing data from trusted sources" is a frankly ridiculous policy for a serialization/deserialization library.

The case of Anwar al-Awlaki is exactly the kind of case where I think the president should face criminal liability for murder. Although, as he was murdered in a foreign country, no court in the US has jurisdiction for the president to be prosecuted; but if he had been murdered on US soil, it would be absolutely appropriate for a jury to decide whether or not it is justifiable for the president to order the death of somebody merely for speaking the wrong words.

Another topic that hasn't come up quite as much is the fact that this is an immunity proposition, not a defense. What SCOTUS is saying is that we aren't permitted to even ask if the president is reasonable in his beliefs; any trial on the merits is completely and totally foreclosed--that's what immunity means. Just a few days ago, SCOTUS decided that it's absolutely important that administrative law procedures need to go through the step of being heard by a jury trial, and now here it's saying that it's absolutely important that the president never be burdened by the prospect of having to have a jury weigh their actions.

It's just... really galling that SCOTUS would decide that the constitution requires that the president be a king above the law, exactly the sort of thing that England fought a few civil wars over before the US even sought its independence.
Thanks, that's really cool. And the detectability line is under 0.01 degrees per day, so the parallax from opposite sides of the earth is well within detectable at lunar distance. You also confirm that the detectability (due to motion) is dropping as the time to impact decreases, but this is apparently not a problem.

What do you mean by accessible documents?

KeenWrite doesn't have a LaTeX integration. Instead, KeenWrite integrates KeenType[1], which is a plain TeX implementation based on NTS[2]. By offering only plain TeX, KeenWrite is technically compatible with either ConTeXt or LaTeX. At time of writing, KeenWrite interoperates with ConTeXt because ConTeXt makes a far superior split between presentation logic and content. KeenWrite can perform the following document conversions:

(R) Markdown (+ TeX) -> Text (+ TeX)

(R) Markdown (+ TeX) -> XHTML (+ TeX)

(R) Markdown (+ TeX) -> XHTML (+ SVG renders of TeX)

(R) Markdown (+ TeX) -> XHTML -> ConTeXt -> PDF

ConTeXt is able to directly transform XML documents into TeX instructions that are then used to typeset a PDF using a theme[3].

Are we headed into deep recession? Any signs at local markets / jobs you notice?
Here's my take on this alternative reality:

I wish web standards had embraced high-touch interactivity earlier using vector graphics and scripting, maybe JavaScript/SVG versus Flash/ActionScript.

That would've unleashed richer interaction design (and yes, games) earlier and would've forced Apple to adopt this open standard. Flash's closed/proprietary solution gave Apple the excuse to make mobile apps a walled-garden.
That's not what was said though, populism wasn't presented as the answer, only as a straw man.
Impeachment doesn't actually deal with it at all. It's basically impossible to impeach anyone with the way politics is polarized these days, plus the only result is that the president is removed. They don't actually face any consequences for their actions as the Supreme Court is saying they can't be prosecuted even after leaving office.
> Imagine I make a serialisation/deserialisation library which would be vulnerable if you fed it untrusted data

No need to imagine, the PyYAML has that situation. There have been attempts to use the safe deserialization by default, with an attempt to release a new major version (rolled back), and it settled on having a required argument of which mode / loader to use. See: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=PyYAML

No, the supreme court just gave the president immunity for exactly this. This exact scenario is quoted upthread:

> Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.

It's curious because this would also seem to legalize the Watergate scandal and Nixon's famous line "if the president does it, its not illegal".

> Obama ordered an American Citizen to be assassinated via a drone attack, without a trial or anything. Should he be charged with murder?

Yes.
Yes, immunity for "official duties" sounds reasonable until you read all the justices own words and realize how purposely broad and far reaching these duties are.

well if the murder took place in the US then the state would charge them with murder and, as Trump found out, no pardons for state crimes.

I can't tell what your stance is on the al-Awlaki assassination? If the leader of a country orders an extra-judicial killing, especially of one of their own citizens, that seems like it deserves criminal penalties.

People get very judgemental when Putin assassinates defectors, but when Obama does it it's ok?

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

And of course, if it's something that the Supreme Court wants a president to face consequences for for partisan reasons, they can simply use their majority to say that whatever they didn't like was not an official act.
So it's not really immunity they are after, but super-immunity. It's not enough that he should be found not guilty in most or almost all cases, but that he should not even be accused, even have his actions inspected or judged. They have done away with the right to discovery, and covered the executive in an almost impenetrable veil. That is just royalty with extra steps.
yeah that was my experience as well : (
So first, the distinction between official acts and unofficial acts isn’t actually defined and even Robert’s admits this ambiguity is going to be a problem:

> Determining which acts are official and which are unofficial “can be difficult,” Roberts conceded. He emphasized that the immunity that the court recognizes in its ruling on Monday takes a broad view of what constitutes a president’s “official responsibilities,” “covering actions so long as they are not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority.” In conducting the official/unofficial inquiry, Roberts added, courts cannot consider the president’s motives, nor can they designate an act as unofficial simply because it allegedly violates the law.

https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/07/justices-rule-trump-has-s...

Basically the President has a presumption that his behavior is an official act unless it’s egregiously outside his powers but there’s also no way to really investigate it. Oh and it’s also combined with the unitary executive theory popular on the right which holds that the president basically has absolute power over all executive agencies and a growing interpretation of the powers of the president (under both parties) which is a scary scenario.

And given that the dissenting opinion from SCOTUS justices literally raises the exact scenario you’re assuming is unofficial, so dismissing it out of hand seems overly bold:

> The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

You can disagree with the dissents, but even Justice Barrett outlines some very serious problems with the reasoning in the majority opinion while Justice Thomas says they should go further and completely rule Jack Smith’s investigation unconstitutional outright.
Sure, the answer might be different for different circumstances, but it isnt really a hard question. As I stated elsewhere, I think the assumption is that a decent candidate should be able to come up with at least one thing they like about a company or look forward to without lying when given a completely blank slate to work with. If you are seeking stability, that can be part of an answer too.

> And if their skills didn't match the ones you needed, they would have never progressed to the point of getting an interview with you, so there's really nothing new to be learned from that answer.

I think this sentiment is part of the challenge. It isn't just a question of skills, but a personal question of motivation and compatibility, and somehow that is being lost. All I'm seeing is that a potential employee that either doesn't understand my question or thinks their time is too valuable to answer it.
They pay some, and the little they pay don’t go to where they belong.
