So many people reacting irrationally and misunderstanding what the ruling says. The first few pages are very readable, and I encourage all to read [1]

- Actions within the President's conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority: Absolute immunity, in accordance with constitutional separation of powers.

- Other actions done within an official capacity: Presumptive (though not full) immunity, to "to safe-guard the independence and effective functioning of the Executive Branch, and to enable the President to carry out his constitutional duties without undue caution."

- Unofficial actions: No immunity.

Who is the arbiter of whether an action is official or unofficial? The courts, according to the ruling: "The Court accordingly remands to the District Court to determine in the first instance whether Trump’s conduct in this area qualifies as official or unofficial." In this case, a very liberal judge appointed by Obama.

One may disagree with the ruling, but it does not, as Sotomayor (who recently has been making more public and political appearances than is appropriate for someone of her position [2]) states, give the president the ability to drone strike his political opponent.

Claiming to have the same understanding as the majority of justices seems safe, though, if that's how you decide what opinions to hold.
I'm not going to have 100's of millions of objects, so I can't speak to that.

But for my one hobby project, I'm using RDF and a triple store. Even with a "small" dataset, you can get an explosion of properties.

I want to be able to add arbitrary properties to arbitrary things and relate them all together. Build the graph organically.

So far, its working really well. But underneath, its (likely) just a couple of b+trees do all of the heavy lifting.
Judges and prosecutors also enjoy absolute immunity in their official capacities.

My confusion is - unless i'm missing something I don't see anything about the owners being surprised or not knowing there's a potential to be worthless, it's about the effort they're going to in order to be able to keep using the car. the main guy in the article is the cto of some tech startup in europe lol it ends with him wanting to till drive the car still because this incomplete poorly reviewed barely functional mess is a "fantastic" car (now that I don't understand!). But nobody here seems to be shocked at the idea that a startup went backrupt or reliant on a fisker to get to work every day
Prediction: trump wins presidency. Midterms swing hard towards Dems. Next president's Congress reforms supreme court.
I guess we can call it bold when you claim to have a better understanding of the decision than the justices who wrote it.
Obama killed multiple American citizens, not just one.
He did not ignore the Supreme Court, he got a court decision and modified the orders according to it.
Says who? A court.
> In the age of antitrust, why has Koala Kare, Big Baby Change Station, flown under the radar?

Proportionality, it seems. Why has nobody sued the printer ink monopolists? Because compared to Google or Apple they're somewhat of a lesser evil.
Which political rival of Obama's are you referring to?
Better yet, if you don't agree with the method of monetization of a website, don't visit it. Don't whine about it. Don't use an ad blocker. I routinely back out of websites with obtrusive advertising. I find an alternate source, and reward them with my visit.
Of course they're in bad faith. The whole idea is to punt accountability off to something else endlessly. "We can't do X because Y already exists to handle that." Later: "We can't do Y because we already have Z." And thus: "X is the proper way to handle that, not Z."
Spending corporate money on non corporate expenses would be fraud. You can’t do that regardless of the tax rate.

What this does allow for is carrying over profits from year to year for small businesses that operate on a cash accounting basis. Which in turn allows multi year planning without taking a 22% hit.

Never extracting the profits would lock them away in the corporation with no means of spending them. It’s definitely a possibility, but it’s not really an issue for public corporations because the shareholders wouldn’t want a company just sitting on cash.
> The constitution was designed with the idea of preventing a king from coming to power.

And if the Republicans get their way with Project 2025, by all interpretations they'll create a King.

> The whole separation of powers thing presumes that an individual is bad, but groups are less bad.

It assumes at its core that even if individuals may pursue bad goals, that the larger society/organizations like parties or officials like the Electoral College will curtail their attempts.

Unfortunately, neither of these assumptions held true when faced with a demagogue like Trump.
Neither of those things are undefined behavior, but gcc with -Wextra already warns about both:

That is a pretty good journal. Endre Boros is chief editor.

Also I think "Annals of Operations Research" is a quite straight forward title if you have studied mathematical optimization at all.

The issue title I have no idea about :)

Not worried. Happy. Biden can now do anything to Trump with immunity. Trump is DONE.

> Yet most of those are written in Go. In fact, the majority of the devops tools themselves (podman, k8s, etc) seem to be written in Go.

> Why do you think that is?

Because time travel, as far as we can tell, is not possible.

At least in the case of Kubernetes, Rust 1.0 wasn't even around until the year after it was first released (Kubernetes 2014, Rust 1.0 2015). It also came out of Google and Go was one of its blessed languages at the time (and today). Given Rust 1.0 wasn't out yet, I'd be surprised if it got more than five seconds of consideration by the team developing Kubernetes, if it was even on their radar at the time they started development.
It very much is if it's done by commanding the military to do it. Maybe not so much if a President did it themselves.
Reading the comments I now badly want to make an XSLT frameset website.
while i appreciate he was a US citizen, i fail to see how it applies to our conversation
The prosecutor can still begin a prosecution, but now it will be dismissed pretty much immediately unless there is good reason to believe that the action was not an official act.
My theory is two-fold:

1. Until now most functional programming languages have had abysmal syntax. I'm sure I will get downvoted for this but have you seen Lisp? I do not want to program in raw AST. ML is also pretty bad. Honestly the hardest thing learning OCaml was figuring out where to put the brackets and semicolons. I am 100% serious. (Well, that and fighting OPAM bugs.)

Rust is functional but the syntax is 10 times easier to read and write. I think other languages will follow.

2. Functional programming has been synonymous with pure functional programming due to Haskell. Honestly I didn't even realise there were impure functional languages until relatively recently. I thought to be "functional" a language had to be pure.

Again Rust is functional and impure.

So I think it's really that most "practical" or "engineering" languages just happened to be not functional until now because the idea of functional programming was hidden in weird and difficult to read academic languages.

There's clearly nothing intrinsic to the functional paradigm that would mean it can't be used in the real world (otherwise Rust wouldn't be so popular).
It changes the excuse. They will surely find a different one.
My point goes both ways: if you're linking a previous submission, indicate whether or not you think that the current submission is a dupe.

Otherwise your intent is unclear, and those of us who both flag dupes and try to see that legitimate submissions get a fair chance have to do extra work.

I do this myself, e.g.,

Not dupes: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33942714> <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39242203>

Dupes: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40785312> <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40678762> <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40481418>

Generally, posting naked links is a poor practice. (There are occasional exceptions. They are rare.) You don't have to write a book, just make context / intent clear, as the examples I've linked show.
Assassinating people is my job, I'm the commander in chief of the military. I just happened to do my job on someone who also happened to be my political opponent. How is that not an official act for which I am immune? The court cannot inquire about my motives.
A. Do you live abroad? Every us citizen I know that lives abroad DESPISES their tax treatment so it’s the first time I’ve heard someone say that.

B. Corporations are owned by people (perhaps a very disparate group of people via pension plans, 401ks, etc) and the tax man eventually gets a piece
"Withhold funding from the military" it's actually better (or worse) than that. The US doesn't have a standing army technically speaking, it cannot constitutionally. The post war military has been continuously reauthorized twice yearly since the end of world war 2. Congress can refuse to reauthorize continuation of it and the treasury can't do anything about it.
Same with Crayola. The reality is that Koala Kare and Crayola simply do not affect people's lives as much as tech giants on the list (Amazon and Apple), or CPGs like Hershey's candy bars or Gatorade beverages.

To put a finer colored wax point on it: my crayon doesn't have access to my entire online life or my shopping habits, and I have no effective societal obligation to own Crayola crayons.
Since that site includes a very very small quote out of context, here's a link to the actual transcript of the hearing [0].

> So I think the first thing that makes a good judge is independence, not being swayed by political or public pressure. That takes some backbone. That takes some judicial fortitude.

> The great moments in American judicial history, the judges had backbone and independence. You think about Youngstown Steel. You think about, for example, Brown v. Board of Education, where the Court came together and knew they were going to face political pressure and still enforced the promise of the Constitution.

> You think about United States v. Nixon, which I have identified as one of the greatest moments in American judicial history, where Chief Justice Burger, who had been appointed by President Nixon, brought the Court together in a unanimous decision to order President Nixon, in response to a criminal trial subpoena, to disclose information. Those great moments of independence and unanimity are important.

I think that while a large majority of people do think about things like this when buying a car, those people tend to end up with toyotas or hondas or a car with a 10 year warranty, and not a rando new startup ev lol. Given the other options on the market, the fact they even considered a fisker means they're not prioritizing reliability/longevity as their #1 priority.
Well the syntax certainly fights you the whole way...
Software, not standard
Nah, the goal isn't to add or subtract energy, just change the entropy. If you have a process that on average doesn't change energy, but makes the distribution of speeds more or less narrow, then that is temperature control. I thought adding a fixed amount of momentum in a random direction (where higher temperature = more momentum) would be a way to control temperature. However, that actually increases energy on average, so you would need some way to lose energy to the environment as @ijustlovemath pointed out.

Sounds like John Deere is asking for some disruption.
Clinton was charged with lying under oath, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power. The first and second charges were approved while the third was rejected. He was only found guilty of the obstruction charge.

The behavior of Ken Starr in this case was abhorrent. In my eyes, there was a degree of witness intimidation going on in this case.

Ironically, this SCOTUS ruling would have blocked Clinton's impeachment because Ken Starr was an Independent Counsel, which SCOTUS ruled cannot be used in such matters.
i wasn't able to think that simpler. the idea is exactly this. but how can i build it? i want to remove the third party delivery apps. im going to connect customers directly to restaurants. your recommendation sounds similar to early doordash. my concern here is about the customer type. back in those days people could ameteur looking products but i feel like its impossible. instead of giving their phone number, i wanna create a simple system that similar to other food delivery apps.it is going to take your personal information - phone number, name, adress- and your order, deliver it to the restaurant as a message and display the order to the restaurant as a panel. is that sounds ok?
So you're only worried about rich and influential people being killed, not the rest of us lowly American plebs?
Simplicity is a shortcut to correctness. Let's Encrypt is a simple thing to implement. Relatively speaking of course. It would be tempting (unbearably so for a for-profit issuer) to have manual issuance, this means at least duplicating the effort as every system can also be manual and must have the appropriate checks in place for that.

As an example of how wedded Let's Encrypt is to simplicity, part of routine application process is to show your certificates expire properly, often a CA would manually create a certificate which either was already expired (back dating it but arguably this is allowed for technical procedures) or had a very short lifetime and so would expire by the time the trust programme examines the demo cert. Let's Encrypt instead issued an ordinary 90 day certificate, using the same automatic process as their subscribers - and then just waited months for it to expire. Like a boss.
I don't agree with the outcome, but at least the motive mattered there. The target was ostensibly leading a military operation against the US or something. Motive doesn't matter any more.

EDIT: And yes, what Obama did was illegal and he should have been impeached and prosecuted for that.
False.

Judge ordering something can be brought to court to review if the order was lawful. Judge making judicial decision - that is, not ordering something to support that decision, but actually deciding - is immune, but that is decision of the limited scope - it's not an action. Decision itself can be reviewed, so there's principally less scope for possible intentional or unintentional errors.
That's nonsense. You should read the ruling [1]. The summary is very readable. For a president to ignore the court and "dare to act" is what dictatorships do, and millions of people die in those cases.

Ask HN: 3840x2160 120 Hz KVM
Can someone recommend a KVM that works? I've been looking for a couple of years now.

Requirements:

* 2-port, 1-monitor, DisplayPort 1.4 KVM

* Wired push button switch (and cable can be extended if needed)

* Runs at 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz (or 60 Hz), ideally 144 Hz

* Works with docking station (HP USB-C Dock G5 for business)

* Works with Classic 101 Black Buckling Spring USB keyboard

* Works with Logitech TrackMan Marble Trackball

* Works with HP laptop and desktop (NVIDIA T1000 GPU)

Anti-requirements:

* Does not intercept keystrokes (or can be disabled)

* Does not intercept mouse scrolling (or can be disabled)

* Does not randomly repeat keys

* Does not block certain keystrokes (e.g., ctrl+shift+t)

* Does not let Windows laptop go to sleep

* Does not take more than 3 seconds to switch between computers

* Does not randomly blank the screen

* Does not lock up the keyboard after switching

Here's the setup showing both computers and the push button switch:

* https://i.ibb.co/5nrDk21/kvm-setup.jpg

* https://i.ibb.co/hFsjT3S/kvm-switch.jpg

I have tried:

* IOGEAR GCS62DP (almost perfect; only 60 Hz; kills keyboard after ~60 swaps; RMA'd)

* DiamondTiger KVM Switch EDID 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz, DP 1.4 (repeats keys, blanks screen, has screen tearing, and many other issues)

* CanadaComputers iCAN HDMI USB KVM Switch 2x1 with Switch Extension 4K 60Hz (completely blocks certain keystrokes)

Wendell's Level1Techs Store offers a highly recommended KVM, yet lacks a wired push button.

What KVM switches "just work", in your experience, and have a wired push button for switching?

If I need to shunt a DisplayPort EDID feeder to prevent Windows from sleeping, that's acceptable, and a recommendation would be most welcome.

Kavanaugh "lied" because in 1999, he criticized an aspect of the Nixon ruling but 19 years later, in a response to a softball question from a Republican senator, called it "one of the greatest moments in American judicial history", repeating what he wrote in 2016?

By everyone doing their job and respecting the authority that the other branches had. Something like an executive outright ignoring court orders (e.g. Joe Arpaio [1]) is as unexpected as the legislative refusing to pass laws because it's gridlocked due to malfeasance on the side of the Republicans. There's a reason why the Supreme Court ended up playing such an important rule: Congress hasn't done shit in decades now, and the same goes for the States, the last Constitutional Amendment was passed in 1992 and the one before that in 1971. Something like the right to abortion should have been enshrined into a constitutional amendment loooong ago. EPA rules should have been set by law, not by executive order. The list goes on and on and on.

And the last failsafe the founders intended was the populace. Officials found breaking the law or be otherwise unfit of office were supposed to be at the very least not reelected by the populace - and yet, Arpaio was reelected for 24 years in a row, Biden was elected (he was better than Trump, but that doesn't mean someone of his age should have been president!), and Trump will most likely be reelected. The voters share a huge part of the blame.

RISC-V's vector extension will have at least 128 bits in application processors, so I think you could set VLEN=128 and just use SIMD algorithms.

The P extension is intended more for embedded microcontrollers for which the V extension would be too expensive. It reuses the GPRs at whatever width they are at (32 or 64 bits).
Of course people only care about “their” party. It is everything about what is broken in the US.

It blows my fucking mind that the left is about to nominate the only qualified person, of many qualified people, that can lose to trump. We saw this movie in 2016 with clinton.
