I’m just trying to evaluate whether born-within-the-borders citizenship makes sense by imagining myself in that situation. I don’t really see citizenship in another country as a positive, because I only hold loyalty to…
Birthright citizenship is so weird, because when I think of my son’s birthright, I imagine things he’s entitled to because he’s my son. He’ll inherit from my estate, he’ll enjoy my love and encouragement and support,…
I think the whole point of making someone leave is the possibility that they may not be allowed back in. If staying was a foregone conclusion then there’d be no point in leaving.
Families should always eat at the restaurants that produce the most excellent cuisine. /s
Regardless of our different readings of the SCOTUS’s recent opinion, statutes are a poor process for imposing tariffs. The legislative process is intentionally slow and difficult. It’s suited to permanent laws, not…
Why tariffs? Just suspend trade.
When I buy a laptop from Apple, they used my money to build the next generation of laptops… which inevitably come out within a year. I wouldn’t necessarily believe Iran was deceived without more.
I think it makes sense. You wouldn’t want to hire an employee who’s intellectually incapable of helping customers commit a crime. You’d want to give them instructions, and have them follow their instructions.
Since they are working for the Federal government here, doesn’t the supremacy clause trump state law and allow them to deny / retain that data?
The difference is that Netflix isn’t facing a situation where they have run out of product to sell. If Apple wants to sell 10k laptops, they need to have 10k laptops. If 10k customers sign up for Netflix, Netflix gets…
Yeah, if you know the business is a fraud, it doesn't matter that your work isn't fraudulent in and of itself. It's like being hired by bank robbers to be their chauffeur. There's nothing illegal about driving, but if…
I think it’s like shoes. Shoes are generally better than callouses at protecting your feet, providing traction, etc. Almost everyone accepts the trade-off and wears shoes as opposed to going barefoot. To be sure, your…
Different leadership. If some in your experience erred on the side of leniency, then it stands to reason that others might err just as egregiously in the opposite direction. In fact, your anecdote suggests erring is the…
> In 2 years time, I would be surprised if the strongest LLMs are available for general use at all. I would be surprised if the public ever had anything close to the strongest LLM. It’s not like nuclear bombs were…
I think that’s a bit dramatic saying the US hates them, but yes to your other point. The US is taking the position that it has more to gain from having strong and prosperous trading partners than it does from exploiting…
That’s relevant and should have been included in the warrant, but I still blame the Judge here. When it comes to whether a meme is a threat, the image largely speaks for itself and there’s no way you can reasonably read…
This phrasing disregards the value of those traits. For example there are very clean and nice public restrooms at my local park, they may be objectively better products and I use them sometimes, but I usually use the…
The CCPA clearly violates the 1st Amendment. If you're out in public, then people are allowed to see you, to remember it, to communicate that it happened, etc.
I think there’s difference between A) whether ships are traversing the straight, and B) whether the straight is open / closed / could be traversed. It’s very well possible that the straight is safe, but the vessels are…
I keep seeing the phrase “the harm” as if we’re all supposed to know exactly what that means. What is it?
California can do a lot to private companies, but the supremacy clause allows the federal government to do what it wants. If a business wants to engage in these illegal-in-California practices, they could partner with…
This reminds me of how some famous artists would paint via their studios wherein assistants put most of the pant on the canvas, under the direction / modeled off an example, and with the signature / embellishments of…
If 14% of the PhDs employed by the U.S. Government was 10,109, then there were about 72,207 total. That's about 3.2% of the civilian government, compared to 2.1% in the public workforce (and 1.3% of population). So, the…
You're 100% right, but I think the friendship should be more important. I've had friends keep things that I lent them, but that didn't ruin the friendship. I've had friends say mean things, but that didn't ruin the…
Okay, tell that to the US Border Patrol.
