> The case you listed isn't even the case he has been convicted of so far

The source I cited refers to Trump's "hush money" convictions (over falsifying business records), which to my knowledge is the only criminal case that went through to the end of a trial and resulted in a felony conviction[0]. Is this untrue?

> an honest nonpartisan case arguing that Trump is not guilty

The argument is that the prosecution of these cases is partisan to begin with; that is, no one not named "Donald Trump" would have been prosecuted for the same matters on hand to the same degree. Obviously neither I nor anybody else can prove this claim, so you be the judge.

MLK Jr. was legally harangued throughout his life, with many arrests and two felony indictments. In 1960, he became the first person in Alabama to ever be charged with felony perjury over tax returns. Are we to believe that he really was the first Alabamian to cheat on taxes? Had he been convicted, would you seriously believe that justice had been served, or would you instead think of the whole thing as partisan lawfare?

Imagine this scenario: you see a line of cars on the highway all going 20 miles an hour above the speed limit, but only one gets pulled over. You have reasons to suspect that it's because the local sheriff doesn't like the driver, but you have no means of proving that. The logical counterarguments could be A) the officer happened to only see him; B) everyone was observed to be speeding and if the sheriff's department had more resources, then everyone would have been pulled over, but out of practical necessity only one car could be pulled over and it happened to be him; or C) actually, it was in fact just him who was speeding and nobody else. I don't find any of those to be persuasive in Trump's case.

Are the private schools forced to take any students? Or can they cherry pick just the best students? Do they reject anyone that needs an IEP? Public schools are legally obligated to provide an education to anyone, no matter how much trouble they cause. If these private schools take public coin, they should be required to follow the same laws.

The parts of Go that make the most sense to me are the default static linking and the easy cross-compilation. rust does part of this, but C-dependent crates are easy to introduce (e.g. openssl-sys) and directly cause cross-compilation to be a disaster.
Stay away from Samsung. Their default apps (which you often can't uninstall or disable) collect massive amounts of data. The default Samsung keyboard that came installed with an old Galaxy I had was logging every single letter I typed in every app and sending it to a third party whose privacy policy said it was being used for marketing research, to determine my intelligence, education level, habits, attitude, etc.
I'm not sure why you make the assumption that in a patent infringement suit, either parties both have the same practice, or one of them is a NPE. There's no basis for such an assumption. I'm a patent litigator and this doesn't match my experience at all. It is true for very large companies with broad business practices that could be susceptible to a large IP portfolio from a similarly-sized competitor, but to talk of it like it is a practical defense is unrealistic and reflective of a lack of understanding of how patents are usually asserted. It's something for a GC to keep in mind, but isn't really relevant to what would be common advice to anyone running a business that wasn't one the largest in the world.

Here I was wondering why Florida's adding that (Fishing and Hunting as right) as a constitutional amendment for the state, guess that answers that.
Governments and big tech/media try to brand anyone knowledgeable about privacy measures as pedophiles, and it's incredibly effective because they control the laws and narrative. Doesn't help that a huge fraction of people conflate having something to hide with not wanting everything be public, and in the vast majority of cases are blissfully and willfully ignorant so long as they get their Instagram or TikTok.

At a societal level we fully deserve all this because apparently we can't be fucked to care about basic rights anymore (cf. "everyone gets the government they deserve"), too lost in Huxley's dystopian future of infinite dopamine distractions.

The 4th explicitly doesn't cover "land".

It also explicitly lays out "unreasonable" as the qualifier. Personally... I don't think he has much of a case to challenge the state wording.

So while I strongly support the 4th amendment, I don't really agree with the guy here. It sounds a lot like he's pissed off the officer by fishing illegally.

My bigger takeaway is that Uber and Lyft are able to automatically dismiss him from a position without consequence for a completely unrelated offense. Even if I think he's completely guilty (and to be clear - I don't) I'm hard pressed to consider "wildlife & game license violation" worthy of impacting a job that involves driving other folks around.

You'll have to define easy. If you go faster, that means you're outputting more wattage per second. You may get there faster, but you've used up the new capacity that your body has developed so you're back to what are likely similar levels of discomfort.

By your definition, Usain Bolt running the fastest 100m time ever set by a human is having an easier time than me because I do it slower.

What most people mean by easier is that it "feels" easier: this would be accomplished by aiming to take the same amount of time even in the face of capacity increasing.

The stupidest thing about the Apple Card is how broken their customer service systems are due to a combo of Goldman never issuing a card before, and the tight integration with Apple for account management.

Primary example of this is there is no way to update your email address with the bank. It's your Apple ID and can't change. How do I know this? I changed my Apple ID several years ago, but my credit card comms still come to the old address, and no matter how many times I contact either bank or Apple support, they have no power to fix this. The bank has zero access to edit my information at all, and Apple just sends me in idiotic circles like logging out and into my devices, deleting all other contact emails from my Apple account, etc.
It's worse. They want Ozempic for all through Medicare. At those prices that's 3 trillion dollars. As RFK Jr. put it, for $3T we could give every man, woman, and child in the United States three organic meals a day. Or pay for gym memberships, which would be even cheaper.

The President could issue an executive order saying Medicare won't pay a higher price than EU nations or Canada. If they want to raise their prices there, fine. But we're not going to be the ones paying through our nose because you think the American taxpayers have bigger bank accounts.

That’s not what the OP said though, what you’re describing is basically regulations. All we can do is regulate to outlaw and punish those who don’t comply with it but that’s still not possible to limit.

Once upon a time, this would have been a decent discount. Of course, I'm referring to the days when it was plausible to get gas for $0.99/gallon. A blanket 10% discount was pretty nice.

Nowadays, with gas routinely pushing $5/gallon, we're down to 2-3%. That's a rounding error. Sure, it adds up, but if I have to do anything new to get the discount at all, then it quickly becomes not worth my time.
lovely idea! the core of Snack is that it is not a "social" platform persay, but will at some point have the ability to see top lists.

Ugh. I feel you. I think one thing that makes this hard is how big and intertwined Nixpkgs and NixOS is. All the modules are loaded all the time, and it can make the displayed errors propagate out to somewhere intractably far away from where the error actually is.

> (Neither I nor anyone in my immediate family are overweight, by the way, so don't ignore my rant by assuming I'm being bitter about personal experience.)

If you haven't been living with extra weight for a decade, you wouldn't have the first-hand experience of why being overweight is definitely a symptom of and contributor to health issues as well as quality of life degredation.

> I have read numerous reports...
> Besides, it's hard to know what the health effects really are of being overweight...

I can agree that being overweight is often what a doctor sees, but honestly any doctor that makes assumptions like that is not interested in root causes. They're trying to see as many patients as possible, e.g. as a GP, and offer fixes for what they can fix, and referrals to specialists for that which they can't fix with the usual prescription or advice.

All this to say that I really disagree with the first paragraph, and this entire post feels like just opinion despite conjecture on what numerous reports you've read.
Increased demand can justify the high prices? Companies generally want to have a backpressure of demand outstripping supply because then they can creep prices up without impacting sales.

Alternatively, if everyone is clamoring for the drug, maybe that influences regulators/lawmakers for what gets covered by Medicare. Honestly, the way people are talking about semaglutide - it could become a drug that is just provided to everyone who wants it, by default, paid by the government. (And would probably be a net positive ROI by the government - the amount of savings and increased productivity if America reduced obesity rates by 10+% would be incredible)
I've been meaning to write something pithy on this and this is a great spur to action. Basically Nix is something you use to build software reproducibly, that is, where you can take the same inputs and get the exact same bytes on disk every time you build it. The "software" here could be something simple-ish like a CLI tool or a UNIX utility, and it could be as complex as an entire functioning Linux system, and it could be something that you usually build using other tools, like Docker or Podman containers. Nix can do all of this. I'd say that the things people most often use Nix for are:

1. Project-specific development environments. You want everyone on your team to have the exact same version of Python, jq, Terraform, Cargo, and Bun in a specific project? Nix can do that.
2. Home environments. You want to replace your dotfiles and Homebrew and apt-get with something declarative that you have an actual language for? Nix can do that.

So yeah, development environments, home environments, whole Linux systems, OCI containers, standard packages (like CLI tools), things like VS Code extension, Neovim plugins... all of this stuff can be built using Nix. Pretty powerful stuff.

wtf iss this
All source code is self documenting, source code is for developers to read. Computer languages are a human readable version of what the compiler executes and is for the developers, not the compilers benefit. As a developer, I read way more software than I write and if the source is hard to understand then I feel you failed as a developer. Writing is a skill, no less important in software than anywhere else. Properly named functions/variables and easy to follow flow control is a skill that takes years to learn. All developers should keep a thesaurus and a dictionary nearby. If you find yourself writing a lot of comments trying to explain what you are doing in your code, then you probably should refactor.
Yeah, this sounds nice in theory but "For additional order details, go to _your account_." doesn't explicitly answer the question of how to go to your account, which will not be obvious to many people.
I think of cleverness as a measure of how quickly or effectively you can solve a new-to-you problem. Which I think is utterly different from wisdom, which is mostly about reflecting and drawing inferences from experiences.
On the surface, this absurdity is entertaining, but it's scary, like, proper actual _SCARY_ because the lack of.. sense, is so all encompassing.
It tells the story of how it's simply impossible to get beyond the surface, beyond the dummy front. It reveals that there is no sense to be found.
For a TV station, it's not _THAT_ bad, but this type of senselessness is all around us, in large companies, in government systems, in hospitals and on construction sites.. It's a cancer in modern society that has unseen, but grave consequences.
This is how we will eventually manage to eradicate ourselves, and in a way, we've deserved it, because we allowed it to happen for so long.

My First Experience with Claude Computer Use - It's Mind-Blowing!

Just tested Claude's new Computer Use feature and had to share this simple but powerful test:

My Basic Prompt:
"Please:
1. Search Amazon for 3 wireless earbuds:
Find price
Rating
Brand name

2. Make a simple Excel file 'earbuds.xlsx':
Put the information in a basic table
Add colors to the headers
Sort by price

3. Show me the results"

What blew my mind:
- Claude actually looked at my screen
- Moved the mouse by itself
- Clicked buttons like a human
- Created reports automatically

It's like having a virtual assistant that can really use your computer! No coding needed - just simple English instructions.

It's real easy to get your Technician class license in the US, which will get you limited line of sight range via VHF/UHF and a few other misc. bands. General class unlocks High Frequency operation which allows you to talk around the globe with the right radio.

For my field operations, I use a handheld 12V battery pack and a (tr)uSDX, a souped-up ATMega platform that does QRP (<=5W power) operations via CW (Morse code) and SSB (voice). It's the cheapest radio out there that will reliably do (passable) quality SSB, and it's real handy to have something so tiny and light when I'm heading out to hike up a mountain.

This is everything I take into the field, and have talked to people states and countries away when geomagnetic conditions were favorable (being on top of a mountain helps haha): https://i.imgur.com/HOx5buc.jpeg

I would go further to say that syntax should never be used. for example with Go:

> cheapFunction(...) || expensiveFunction(...)

is not valid unless both functions return bool

> car = car || "bmw"

is not valid at all, because both types would need to be bool

> funcA(...) && funcB_WhichMightBreakWithoutFuncA(...)

not valid unless functions return bool. I think Go smartly realized this syntax is just sugar that causes more problems than it solves.
