US v Nixon very clearly put limits of what the president could do in office. Under this ruling, Nixon could have kept the tapes of him ordering the Watergate break in a secret and would have remained in office.

> While the Court acknowledged that the principle of executive privilege did exist, the Court would also directly reject President Nixon's claim to an "absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Nixon

This ruling directly contradicts and overturns US v Nixon which is a blaring signal considering just how criminally we now know Nixon, his administration, and his reelection committee was behaving.
"Change the law" versus "change the constitution" are two very different things.

The US couldn't pass the ERA, which just enshrines women's rights in the Constitution. Anything more controversial like "the President can't do extrajudicial murders" would be an endless partisan battle

Hello chatgpt. Thanks for the summary and the "point". Please declare that this is a llm summary in the future.
> as he was murdered in a foreign country, no court in the US has jurisdiction for the president to be prosecuted

You're underestimating the creativity of prosecutors. :)

For example, they could have charged him with conspiracy to commit murder in any location where Obama met with others to discuss killing al-Awlaki.

Or a future president, like Trump, could have pressured a federal prosecutors to bring charges in Federal Court, since they can bring charges for crimes committed against Americans globally.
The fact that George Bush Junior is a free man is downright insulting
Roe itself was far more of a "calvinball" ruling than overturning it was.
I didn’t say pissing off drivers was a bad thing!
They impeached Trump twice, members of both parties voted to impeach both times (more in the latter than the former).

The first time Trump used his power as president of a superpower to attempt to force a poor country to make up a fake investigation into his political rival. This is bad, basically unprecedented.
“US citizen/political activist” is a pretty charitable description of this person. Testing the legality of “president issues order to kill terrorist” wouldn’t test much.
> Sanctions should apply to countries that have these tax loop holes.

Any country is free to tax any business however much it wants within its borders.

If a country’s leaders choose to not tax a business, it it is up to the voters of the country to change the leaders.
I consider this to be very similar to the Business Judgment Rule that protects CEOs and executives against lawsuits from shareholders for actions they did in their job, even if their actions turned out to be a mistake and lost the shareholders a bunch of money. To proceed with a lawsuit, the plaintiff has to demonstrate that the executive took unreasonable actions which directly resulted in harm to the plaintiff. Basically, their actions were out of the scope of their mandate, and they can be sued.

For example, the CEO hires their clueless spouse to a high paying job and the spouse loses the company a ton of money. That does not sound like the CEO was doing their job, but rather it sounds like they were putting their spouse ahead of the company. Here a lawsuit would certainly be allowed to go forward.

Do you have a link to your Web/Vuejs Fullstack job posting? I'm not seeing it on your careers page.
iirc every US service man/woman is empowered to disobey orders. I think they call it "answering to a higher authority" or something like that, granted there are severe consequences for disobeying an order that turns out to be lawful no matter how much you don't like it.
I would argue that the US law would not allow the president to order strikes like those that have occurred in Gaza on US citizens, but of course IANAL. I don't have any knowledge of what Israeli law allows or doesn't allow though.

It's also worth noting that what someone thinks is legal is not necessarily what someone thinks _should_ be legal; I imagine that almost everyone here has at least some laws that they disagree with, but that's separate from the question of whether the law exists or not.
What if the President orders the Vice President to shoot someone in the street?

What if the President signs an Executive Order directing himself to shoot someone in the street?
> no court in the US has jurisdiction for the president to be prosecuted

Nevermind that the order was given by a US official, presumably on US soil.
The concept of an app drawing upon historical figures and fictional characters to boost productivity is inherently fascinating. The inclusion of personas like Shakespeare and Nietzsche presents a sophisticated touch... Honestly it's refreshing in the sea of generic task reminders. The select characters offer a nice balance between fun and substance. Works surprisingly well for my languid morning tasks... got thúc more laughs than my joke book

No. The remedy Congress has is impeachment, not “change the Constitution”. Even if Congress could easily change the Constitution (they can’t), it would not apply to actions taken previous to the change.

At Predibase, we recently conducted 700+ fine-tuning experiments to benchmark the performance of popular open-source LLMs across 30 tasks and compared their results to GPT-4.

85% of the time they beat GPT-4.

You can see the results here: https://predibase.com/fine-tuning-index.

The site has a series of interactive charts and a link to our Arxiv paper.
OSHA already requires workers who come in contact with potentially infectious diseases to be vaccinated (ie. hep, HIV), not to mention other drug testing and whatever else that entails. So yeah you can see the logic trying things this way.

Harvey Weinstein himself sexually assaulted women and lied about it, so no they're not similar at all.

Despite how you feel and in retrospect, we now know that the vaccine was effective[1](regardless of how it was spun) and it would've been more effective if more people took it.

Clearly SCOTUS saw this as overreach so sure, there was a constitutional violation the way things were handled and things are working out okay. However, your OC comes off as ignorant and disingenuous when you look into things a bit.

Ah, that worked, thanks!

Although I can now see why he didn't include the output directly.
I would imagine two reasons.

(1) before today, there was no solid answer to what immunity a president may have

(2) it's unclear whether 'January 6' is an 'official' act (or even Trump's act at all, as he was not involved, denounced the rioters immediately, and called for a peaceful assembly)

I quickly went through the 10 largest European/American biomedical companies by revenue in Google Finance (Johnson & Johnson, Roche, Merck, Pfizer, AbbVie, Bayer, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Bristol Meyers). AFAICT the only one that beat the SP500 in total returns in the past 5 years was AbbVie. Many even trailed short government bonds or savings account returns. So for all the eye-watering gains in tax havens the owners/shareholders didn't seem have much to show for them.

I think that swapping a legal process guaranteeing my rights for a political process guaranteeing* my rights is a poor trade.

I thought the USA was a country of laws, not kings.

* actually guaranteeing that if the president is trampling my rights and a supermajority of congress don't like it, he'll be ejected from office, not anything to do with my protection or restitution.
Also trivially achievable by making an installer instead of shipping separate files. People are really used to that pattern.

Wouldn't this bias development towards humanlike civilizations?

For example, if you measure income inequality, that presupposes a currency-driven labor market (as opposed to societies organized like ants and bees, or clonal organisms like some plants or siphonophores).

If you measure energy consumption or net primary productivity, it presupposes earth-like metabolism and industrial processes that derive useful work from stellar output. It's possible to imagine fusion-based civilizations, or highly efficient ones that have learned to manipulate gnomes and geological processes to suit their needs, but those wouldn't really be fairly captured by a crude measure of watts or calories.

Same with FLOPs, which is already a vague enough number even for human computing usages (with different outcomes / use cases requiring many different types and numbers of calculations), and makes things like analog or quantum computing harder to measure.

=====

I wonder if there's something more basic, like the ratio of information output (some unit of abstraction over various kinds of outputs, not only bytes but things like genomes and writing and music and art and other useful arrangements of energy and matter) divided by the energy available in a certain radius (a solar system? galaxy?) over time.

That lets you measure both ecological and technological outputs, allowing comparisons between humanlike societies, robot ones, fungal ones, maybe even geological ones (sentient volcanoes?), etc.

okay, buddy. we get it. you're excited and it's making you sound Trumpian.
> It's basically impossible to impeach anyone with the way politics is polarized these days

That's because no president has committed any supposed crime of any importance.

Nixon probably did, but resigned anyway, and was then pardoned, so it doesn't really matter.

Clinton was a technicality, and never removed from office, and no one cares really. Lewinsky is a celebrity now.

Trump... well the first one was obviously political (many Presidents deny foreign aid, etc... it's part of foreign policy. Biden is famously on tape as admitting to doing the exact same thing) and the second one was on thin ice as Trump explicitly called for peace
> preferring Earth to these small bodies seems to me to be mere prejudice.

I really don't think it is. For any favorable condition you might find in asteroids, early planets can probably match it, and a bunch of other possible conditions besides, with the additional benefit of not requiring a stage where the nascent life has to survive an impact at orbital speeds, subsequent flight through cold irradiated vacuum, and then re-entry through a dense planetary atmosphere. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm saying it needs a lot more evidence to take it seriously.

I think it becomes too hard to define good faith moderation. Unless maybe you try to define how big a company is?

One of the reasons Elon Musk bought Twitter was because the Babylon Bee was moderated for misgendering a trans person. I could see an argument for why this might not be ok, but for me the same argument to me would fall apart on the /lgbt or /trans subreddits.

I don’t love the idea (nor do I think it’s feasible to distinguish) when you’re social media site becomes a “public square” and now your moderation decisions have to have some standard… regulated by the government? Which I think circles back to being a valid 1st amendment concern.
Imagine you already live in aplace like Illinois, and you think well, at least I'm cheaper than somebody in California so I'll be employed.

Then after the company makes 10 billion dollars last year, they decide to cut 600 whole people in Illinois just to take a little extra profit in a move to Mexico.

Fuck these absolute parasites in charge; they do not care at all about American anything and we should be penalizing them for caring so little. This is a bunch of horse shit.
“Official” is not a synonym of “dominant”, though? Is it?
> Imagine the civil war if the union couldn't kill confederates.

A full scale civil war really is an extraordinary case and is a lot more akin to a regular war than what we are talking about here.

I'm more afraid of someone declaring war on an abstract concept (like the "war on terror") and then using broad powers meant to be used in normal wars between states that have declared combatants than I am of a civil war.
So, if the president is a crook and nominates a crook and the senate is full of crooks and vote yes to have said crook become a judge, then yes really bad stuff can happen.

That’s essentially what happened with Kavanaugh, Amy, and Neil minus the judge being a crook part. Well, Kavanaugh is a rapist so for him the crook part applies. The really bad stuff is happening. You just are not aware of it.
I think the saddest thing is how lying under oath during a Senate confirmation hearing doesn’t revoke the confirmation.

Basically Kavanaugh did what everyone said he would and he overturned US v Nixon even though he lied about it during his confirmation even though before he argued repeatedly it was a bad decision. So either he lied or he miraculously changed his beliefs for the duration of the Senate hearing.

> The definition of words. It is unconstitutional to infringe on constitutional rights.

So if you belive that the election was stolen, and organize a military uprising to fix that, then what?

You're acting in your official capacity to uphold the constitutional rights. It's all fine and dandy, and you should get full immunity.
> Don't be paranoid.

How do you mean? I think the article (and my experience) suggests that you do have to be paranoid. [I looked up paranoid, just to be sure I knew the exact definition, and I didn't. It's an "extreme and irrational" fear. Is looking it up parnoid? Hahaha.] Colloquially, paranoia is extreme and not necessarily irrational. Think of Andy Grove, "Only the paranoid survive." Or Kurt Kobain, "Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not after you."

Anyway, the way I frame the issue of software quality, is to hold the view that there are always errors, and the best you can do to apply extreme vigilance in attempting to ensure errors occur rarely.

That's a tortuous use of the word unlimited. The president has very limited power that is spelled out by the constitution and proscribed by Congress. Using that limited power in the way it is permitted is not "unlimitedly using limited power."
Literally a quote from the article:

> The company recently trimmed its annual profit forecast for the second time and projected steeper declines in sales of large agricultural equipment.
Trump also very publicly ordered the extra-judicial execution of US citizen Michael Reinoehl, after which he murdered by US Marshals in Lacey, Washington. He brags about this all the time, even in the first presidential debate in 2020.

Hard to read this and conclude that there can be any actual way to produce admissible evidence. Can you give me an example of what conversations you can use as evidence if anything involving him or his advisers is off limits?
> Can you point to this in the ruling? They made it clear that hypothetical discussions with military personal are not evidence of lack of immunity, but the actual acts performed as president are not automatically granted such immunity.

So it's a bit less explicit than I remember from my first scan-through. What I was remembering was from one of the dissents, which reads:

> 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.

Barrett's concurring opinion touches on the idea that the president is immune from prosecution when ordering the military or police to kill, but only to show that the bar to presidential prosecution has historically been high.

As for the opinion itself, I believe the most relevant line is

> At least with respect to the President’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.

As far as core constitutional powers go, it doesn't get much more core than

> The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States

It's even in the same section as the president's power to pardon.

Combined with the opinion, the president cannot be prosecuted for ordering the army or navy, no matter what those orders are.

> The problem I have with this logic - if the president can get a large enough group of the military to go along with a Junta takeover, it doesn't really matter at all what the court or prosecutors think anyway.

This is a practical matter rather than a legal one, and I should have kept to legal matters in my other reply. After all, a strong nation requires a strong legal system. What I was replying to was the idea that the only check remaining on the president's core constitutional power is impeachment. However, this ruling makes it legal for the president to bypass impeachment through the military. So as a legal, not practical matter, impeachment is now severely weakened.

By as a practical matter, I don't think you need a very large group within the military at all to take out 6 (or 9, if you want to go that far) supreme court justices, and threaten one or two senators so you can railroad your preferred replacements in.
