Yeah! Because he's worked so hard at staying a private citizen by not being involved in his father's political career, not taking a government job, staying off of podcasts/news/other media, not making public statements, etc
The issue with arguments like these is that the brain doesn't mature uniformly. I'd you can tell me exactly what parts of the brain are involved in a decision like this and when those parts mature, then you might have a valid argument.
I say "might" because you would still have to show that a brain which hasn't finished maturing is inherently incapable (ie, will always fail) of making such decisions.
Iirc the increase in pandemics has been an expected result of global warming.
For my money, there are three existential threats to the human species. You've already listed two: global warming and nuclear war. IMO the third is microplastics (although PFAS could be combined with microplastics to make a category I think we could reasonably call "forever chemicals")
I would LOVE to see this prosecuted, not because I want people who are hurting from the loss of a pet to be hurt more, but because not enough people consider raw milk dangerous and they really should. Even if the punishment was super small (because these people obviously didn't understand what they were doing) it would hopefully help prevent future incidents.
He just pardoned one and a half thousand people! Except a lot of them were terrible choices, like the judge in PA that was getting paid to send children to prison.
But the disturbing thread running through all these requests is how easy it’s become for copyright trolls to leverage the DMCA to intimidate providers
I remember this issue being pointed out by the more vocal critics of the dmca when the bill was working its way through Congress. They warned that "remove first, ask questions later" would be abused by corporations in this exact manner with effectively no recourse for people who can't afford a lawyer for every single time there victimized by a wrongful takedown request.
And here we are, decades later, and it's been a problem this whole time.
Yeah but people who don't actually care about saving lives in Gaza "sent a message" to the DNC that the DNC was never going to listen to in the first place. So, worth it. /s
The FPTP spoiler effect isn't going away any time soon.
You are 100% spot on. What we need are progressive candidates on the local level, were voting rules are determined, to push Rank Choice Voting. The Two Party System is a result of FPTP voting; take that away and implement RCV and the Two Party System will begin to crumble naturally.
What we really need is a genuine grassroots movement with significant movement, like the Tea Party but not astroturfed, today gets more progressive in the Democratic party.
BUT
We need them locally, not on the federal level, because locally is where voting rules are established. The Progressives can then push for Rank Choice Voting. City by city, county by county, State by State, we get RCV implemented everywhere possible. This in turn breaks the Two Party System by allowing voters to pick third party candidates without fear of their vote being wasted.
The only problem is that the best time for this strategy was fifteen years ago, and not enough people cared back then to do it. The second best time is now, of course, but...
same way an LLM is able to produce coherent and convincing sentences by statistically determining what word is likely to follow another
To me this implies that the navigation AI is going to hallucinate parts of its model of the world, because it's basing that model on what's statically the most likely to be there as opposed to what's actually there. What could go wrong?
Republicans removed the filibuster only on the issue of judicial nominations. That might seem nitpicky but it's a critical distinction.
