That's muddling nouns a bit.

Law enforcement individuals have extremely limited authority to kill people, exclusively(?) based on self-defense.

The law enforcement system has the right to authorize the killing of people but is subject to judicial review.

Ergo, if a law enforcement individual breaks guidelines and kills someone, they're charged.

If a law enforcement individual follows guidelines and kills someone, then the system is charged. (E.g. state/federal lawsuits, consent decrees, etc)

No, England has a new system, as of 2002. Property ownership records have been centralized, under "HM Land Registry", which has more authority than it used to have.
Those records are now treated as definitive. If a fraudster can get a record changed in HM Land Registry, they own the property. The fraudster can only be sued for damages.[1] The fraudster has probably sold the property to an innocent party. That innocent party now has good title to the property, and the original owner is out.

> Meanwhile the majority’s argument is “lack of immunity (which has, so far, not existed!!!) would make the president too timid, so we’re adding immunity”.

It has existed, it just hasn't been tested. The supreme court didn't "grant" immunity, they interpreted the Constitution to come to the conclusion that immunity already exists.

And the reason that it's happening now is because no political party has been willing to escalate political differences with presidential candidates to the point of criminal charges before.

That's changed recently, hence the need for the ruling.
Oh, look, the moment decisions don't go the way I agree with, we throw democracy and institutions out of the window. Who's a "threat to democracy" now?

Good on you!
This comment is a classic example of the ridiculous state of discourse around the Supreme Court right now on HN. So many people are trying to process legal theories through the amygdala and the result is a legal word soup that doesn't actually have any meaning.

Chevron deference has absolutely zero to do with this and never would have. I'd go deeper, but Brandolini's Law is real and I simply don't have the energy any more.
This is sortition. I would apply it liberally and use it for most legislative offices. Elections and appointments tend to bring out the worst of society -- the kind who actually want power over peoples' lives.
I have to admit I don't really understand the logic behind how compiler writers got to the point where they were able to interpret "undefined behavior" as "will not happen"

My understanding is that undefined behavior is in the spec because the various physical machines that C could compile to would each do something different. So to avoid stepping on toes the spec basically punted and said we are not going to define what happens. Originally this was fine. the C compiler would dutifully generate the machine instructions and the machine would execute them returning the result. The wrench was thrown into the works when we started getting optimizing compilers. I would argue the correct interpretation of "undefined behavior" in the face of a optimizing compiler is "unknown" but then it would sort of behave like the sql NULL(each unknown is different from every other unknown) and act as an optimization fence. When you have to ask the machine what the result of this operation is, it is hard to optimize around it ahead of time.

So my best guess as to why they decided to read "undefined" as "can not happen" is that this is the interpretation they can best optimize for. And nobody really pushed back because what the hell does "undefined" mean anyway? My read is that if the spec wanted to say "can not happen" the spec would have said "can not happen"

Better than the alternative. I would imagine that such a case would be appealed anyway (just as Trump has appealed his cases).
When did the discourse become so childish? Official acts is pretty clear and all of the fascination with the new standard will be derived from the gray area where reasonable adults disagree but the president can’t just order a bombing run on Toronto or murder political opponents now anymore then he could last week.
"Scientists believe its disappearance makes Venezuela the first country in the Americas — and the first country in modern history — to lose all its glaciers [emphasis added]."

Title inaccurate. This goes well beyond only 'Andean countries.'

EDIT: To the 4+ dol—I mean, people who have now downvoted this comment: 'the Americas' is commonly geographically understood to mean the land masses of both North and South America. There are glaciers present in both 'Americas.' The Andean mountains are only present in South America. Jesus, this place is stupid today.
String can provide you a `ReadOnlySpan<char>`, out of which you can either take `ref readonly char` "byref" pointer, which all vectors work with, or you can use the unsafe variant and make this byref mutable (just don't write to it) with `Unsafe.AsRef`.

Because pretty much every type that has linear memory can be represented as span, it means that every span is amenable to pointer (byref) arithmetics which you then use to write a SIMD routine. e.g.:

var text = "Hello, World! Hello, World!";
var span = MemoryMarshal.Cast<char, ushort>(text);
ref readonly var ptr = ref span[0];

var chunk = Vector128.LoadUnsafe(in ptr);
var needle = Vector128.Create((ushort)',');
var comparison = Vector128.Equals(chunk, needle);
var offset = uint.TrailingZeroCount(comparison.ExtractMostSignificantBits());

Console.WriteLine(text[..(int)offset]);

He wasn't impeached for denying foreign aid, he was impeached for making the aid conditional on helping him personally in his campaign for re-election. A fairly obvious case of corruption.

"Using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election. He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 United States Presidential election to his advantage. President Trump also sought to pressure the Government of Ukraine to take these steps by conditioning official United States Government acts of significant value to Ukraine on its public announcement of the investigations."
Sure. But the layoffs have not stopped...so next year, people will accept an even lower salary level....etc etc.

Lowering the salaries at all during a time of record profits is a violation of the social contract, and should not be acceptable. But somehow, it's become the new normal.
> The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.

Yes, this is true. However, the ruling very explicitly separates "core constitutional powers" from the rest of the president's constitutional responsibilities. There's basically 3 categories of action here.

1. "Core constitutional powers"
2. "His remaining official actions"
3. "unofficial acts"

OK, so I separated it out to 3 categories where the Court recognizes 2: official and unofficial. But I did so to point out that the Court ruled that "core constitutional powers" are always official acts, and it's up to the prosecution to prove that the act was unofficial, which thus means proving it wasn't a "core constitutional power."

And commanding the army to do something is a core constitutional power. The constitution is silent on what the president may not order the army to do.

This is how I read it, and I could be mistaken, but it's also how Sotomayor reads it, and she's a much sharper legal mind than I. Even if I'm wrong, it's frightening to be in a situation where top legal minds can interpret it this way. It means it's far from explicit, or safe.

As for the Guardian article, I'm not seeing where this has been tested in court. The article even mentions that the SC doesn't consider killing non-US citizens by the government to be forbidden by the constitution. Fair enough. Couldn't fight wars otherwise. But even if we assume they would rule extra-judicial killings of US citizens illegal, we're left with.

1. It's illegal for the president to kill a US citizen
2. But it's not illegal for them to order the military to do it (core constitutional power)
3. It's illegal for the military to carry it out
4. But the president can pardon them
5. And it's not illegal for the president to pardon them (core constitutional power)
6. Only federal laws apply if it's done in D.C.

As I read it, simply ordering the military to do something makes it an official act. But should it come to trial, Biden could argue that he was doing it to defend the constitution from those trying to undermine it. That he wasn't merely justified, but required to do so, and thus, it was a legitimate order to give, and thus a core constitutional power. Trump could claim the same: He was doing it to protect the constitution from the deep state which is illegally changing the vote totals.
I was pretty sure OCaml had it but I'm less than a newbie with it (touched dune a little bit and built tiny apps but nothing real) so didn't want to bring up something I wasn't sure about.

And Scala I haven't looked at in like a decade, but thinking about it I am not surprised it has similar protections. I feel like Clojure also had a keyword to recur as tail but probably been 12 years since I used that language so my memory could be completely faulty

Is this true? I thought GitHub had no official affiliation with the git project
Great rhetorical question, but do consider these points:
1. we ask everyone to do their individual jobs. In a soldier's case, loss of life is a job hazard. In the President's case, making tough decisions that could kill soldiers and civilians is a job hazard
2. The assassination rate for US Presidents is 8.7% (4/46 Presidents were assassinated).
3. There were 1,922 US combat deaths in Afghanistan (ref 1) and at the peak of the war, there were 100,000 troops there (ref 2). If you ignore all the other years of deployment, a US soldier's death risk in Afghanistan was 1.9%

Numbers are hard when they go against our intuition, but every US President is taking a comparable risk to being a soldier according to these numbers.

Obama took the risk of being a President while Black
Trump took the risk of being a President while Orange

here's recent openssh RCE classified as 9.8 https://www.qualys.com/regresshion-cve-2024-6387/

the difference: you can find affected openssh servers, with the node-ip issue you have to find very rare instance that would allow for SSRF and create exploit for the exact use case. with openssh you can make it really broad.

so the 9.8 score for node-ip is crazy high, and nobody should question it, it should be ~6 max

Multi-Perspective Note-Taking: Mastering focus as a solo-developer
I'd imagine that you can declare war on a specific group (that does not have to be defined as a state) like the "confederate states of america" without it having to be a nebulous concept like "terror". But I don't know enough to say for certain.
The only official act that could, in theory, bypass this is a declaration of Martial Law that moves out the next inauguration. This has not been tested and likely wouldn’t work.

Just because a crazy mob attacked congress at the behest of Trump does not mean official institutions would do so even if so ordered.

Aleph is redefining the world of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). We operate in a well-defined software category with a multi-billion TAM yet a lack of a clear winner. We’re here to change that, and our early results speak for themselves.

We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Eight Sleep, Webflow, Turo, Notion, and others.

What we’ve built so far is the most seamless way to centralize all of a company's financial data – think expenses from Quickbooks or Netsuite, pipeline forecasts from Salesforce – and bring it into the tools finance teams are already using. But the vision goes way beyond that. We’re building the source of truth for a business’ data, and ultimately the platform businesses use to make better decisions.

We’re way ahead of schedule due to our unique approach, with pretty much no churn, and rapid growth despite no marketing spend to date.

> I fail to see why throwing all of the living Presidents in prison is a problem

Hell IIRC at one point all living governors of Illinois were in prison
Then the question is whether the law passed by Congress was unconstitutional, which would have nothing to do with Obama. First someone with standing would have to challenge the law and then it would make its way up through the courts. But I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court would uphold it (as much as I would want it struck down along with the Patriot Act and other "war on terror" measures).
So the classic quote of "the map is not the territory" comes close to erasure here.
IANAL, but those seem like constitutional acts, and have absolute immunity, rather than simply presumptive immunity.

From the article:

> “Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power entitles a former president to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court. “And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.”

There aren't just 2 types of acts. There are 3: constitutional, official, and unofficial.
Jorge is one hard-hitting poet. Dang.
What would be the consequences if we did allow Presidents to be prosecuted and some of them did spend the rest of the life fighting prosecutions?

It seems to me the consequence would be that we would have Presidents who act carefully to not break the law. Are there any other consequences?

I've heard it said that "democracies are where the people in power lose". We've all seen "democracies" where the party in power never loses; those aren't real democracies. Likewise, I would say nations that are truly governed by law are where those in power face legal prosecution.

(Also, what's so bad about prosecution? If a person is innocent, the legal system will find them to be innocent, right?... Right?)

There have been instances in the past where the US military has assassinated US citizens that they deemed terrorists. Search for "Anwar al-Awlaki".

Under this ruling, it would be entirely possible for Biden to declare Trump a direct danger to the republic and, as commander in chief, order him to be assassinated. Of course the "officialness" of this would be debated in the courts, but the reason so many find this ruling unconscionable is that it does basically say "the President is above the law - he just needs to do things under the guise of official acts".

> The President cannot go to the Justice department and say "stop investigating me and my political allies or I'll fire you". That second one is what led to Nixon having to resign.

There’s definitely nothing legally stopping the president from doing this. This was the Saturday Night Massacre.

The only thing that can stop this is public perception and the threat of impeachment then removal by the Senate.

A relevant decision by a Federal judge regarding the legality of the disposition matrix, concerning specifically US citizens abroad:

https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2012cv1...

It's an interesting read, but part of the argument was that there were Congressional checks and balances in place for security threat review and congress authorized force against the group in question which essentially gave the executive branch authority to add the specific targets in question.

The legality of the disposition matrix at large can still be tested and re-tested depending on the specific actions of the executive branch.

You need to think about this a bit more carefully. Today's ruling states that the president has immunity for all official acts. Official acts can be literally anything the president does _in his capacity as president_.
Depends on the business. Let's say you're Dropbox, or a similar third-party subscription backup service. You want to offer a competing service to iCloud for iPhone users, but there are a few hitches in the way:

1) Apple doesn't give you the same APIs they use to integrate iCloud. Your service literally cannot compete with their service on a functional basis.

2) You cannot out-price Apple without a sweetheart deal from Apple themselves. This creates a situation where Apple's consent is required to offer pricing that would be disruptive to any of their services.

3) The de-facto integration, promotion and nagging that iCloud enjoys constitutes product bundling. As we know from their deal with Google, Apple prices their defaults at a ludicrous amount, in order to create a disproportionate first-party advantage relative to competitors. User control is put up for auction under the guise of security and simplicity, when it's really being divided among sinister benefactors.

With these combined, it is effectively impossible to present a competitive first-party software experience on Apple platforms. It wouldn't matter if your service was genuinely superior to Apple's offerings because, much like Microsoft, Apple enjoys a privileged position where they can block competitors from their internal market if they pose a legitimate threat.
