What is the metric of success. Iran wants the US to stay out of the region. Nothing about our response to 9/11 suggests that that is how we would respond to an attack on our soil.

I’m just going off (English language) reporting, not the text itself. But I don’t see anything about the new law invalidating drunken consent.

This is where TPMs, measured boot, and remote attestation come in.

You can run whatever kernel you want, but if it is not an approved kernel, you wouldn’t be able to attest to running an approved kernel; allowing whatever DRM scheme the developer put in to active.

I believe this is how the higher levels of Android’s Play Integrity system work.

Be sure to check state law before doing this.

In Ohia V Miller (2024), Miller was found guilty of operating a vehicle under the influence after he drunkenly drove a horse drawn buggy. This finding was upheld my the appelete court.

In State v Blowers (1986), the Utah Supreme Court found that riding a horse while intoxicated did not qualify as DUI. This finding had 2 parts: A) A horse is not a vehicle and

B) The provision:

Every person riding an animal or driving any animal-drawn vehicle upon a roadway is subject to this chapter, except those provisions which by their nature can have no application.

Is unconstitutionally vague.

In the case of Mythbusters v Drunk Driving, the Mybuster found that it is illegal to operate a vehicle while drunk, even on a closed course. However, it is legal for a blind man to operate a vehicle under the direction of a drunk man.

Congress does not have the constitutional authority to declare a prior Congresses laws invalid. For a bunch of internal stuff like the fillubuster rules, or remote voting, the current Congress can do whatever it wants without presidential review. However once a law is passed through the constitutional process, the constitution does not have a separate process for repealing it. This means that Congress would need to go through the same constitutional process to repeal it, which includes the possibility of a presidential veto.

Having said that, the Supreme Court does have the constitutional authority to declare a law invalid[0], and the President has no veto authority over that. Further, the current Supreme Court has invented out of nothingness two bedrock pillars of constitutional analysis:

1. The Major Questions Doctrine, which states that questions of major political or economic significance may not be delegated by Congress to the executive branch.

2. The Non-Delegation Doctrine, which states that Congress may not delegate it’s lawmaking authority to other entities.

Since the Supreme Court is an unbiased arbiter of the law, I’m confident that they will apply these principles consistently and determine that Congress’s initial delegation if tarrif authority was unconditional. /s

[0] This is not actually explicit in the Constitution. But has been how it is interpreted since Marbury v Madison in 1803.

No they aren’t. Marrying a US citizen makes it easier to get a green card, but you still need to apply and go through the process. Even then, there is no legal guarantee that your application will be granted.

Not really. Anti semites want Jews to go away. Israel is away. There is no inherent contradiction in them supporting Israel. In fact, there is significant ideological alignment between anti-Semitism and Zionism, as both tend towards ethnononationalism.

The idea of giving Jews their own country and sending them all there has historically been quite popular with anti-semites. When we talk about Nazi’s “final solution” we often skip over their earlier solution to the Jewish Question, which was to send us all to Madagascar [0]. In 1933, Nazi Germany signed the Haavara agreement, which would have Germany subsidize Jews emigrating to Palestine. This caused a divide within the global Jewish community, most of which was attempting boycott German exports (which funded the Haavara program), and viewed the program as legitimizing the Nazis. Despite this general opposition among the global Jewelry, the Zionist Congress of 1935 voted overwhelmingly in favor of the program.

Fundamentally, most anti-semitism (and racism in general) is rooted in an ideology of ethnonationalism. In this view, the concept of an anti-semetic Zionist is not a contradiction at all. They don’t hate Jews, they just want them to go away so that the anti-semites can get their pure Aryan/Christian/Arab nation back. If that means that the Jews get their own pure Jewish nation for themselves, then that seems quite reasonable.

Dr. Achim Gercke seved in Nazi Germany’s Ministry of the Interior, where he was an expert on racial matters. He decided the system banning marriage between Jews and Aryans. In his article entitled “Solving the Jewish Question”, he writes

If we support Zionist plans and attempt an international solution by establishing a homeland for the Jews, we will be able to solve the Jewish Question not only in Germany, but in Europe and the entire world.

Dr. Johann von Leers served in the Ministry of Propaganda and was a highly influential Nazi thinker. In his paper,The End of Jewish Migration, he writes:

Only a barbarian standing outside of the last great divine manifestation of world history would propose a general anti-Semitic battle aimed at the extermination of this people. The goal of the highly developed peoples is not to promote hatred where there is a decent way to solve the problem.

The only imaginable, positive solution that will finally resolve the Jewish problem in Europe, and at the same time provide the real possibility of becoming a people, of becoming rooted to land, and even perhaps allowing its less valuable elements to be influenced by the more valuable elements, is a healthy region outside Europe.

Both of these articles are well worth reading to understand the thinking that ultimately led to the Holocaust. The final solution was only devised, when the Nazis realized that their other solutions would not work.

[0] Not that they were particularly tied to that location, it is just what they thought was most practical. They were initially concerned that attempting to establish a Jewish colony in mandatory Palestine would end up being a political and humanitarian disaster. A position that is difficult to dispute with the benefit of hindsight.

Normally, I would respond to this type of argument by explaining how the two party system is structural. But in this case, you are complaining about one of the only politicians that is not part of a political party.

Back when I was learning, I made a flashcard program. It had a class that was essentially a constant array, so you could call get(int i), and it would return an object describing both sides of the card.

How did I implement such a class you ask? First, I made a spreadsheet with 2 collumns to hold the data, with a third collumn of incrementing integers. Then, in the 4th column, I used string concatanation to right a java if statement that compared a variable against the index collumn; and if they match, return an object constructed from the 2 data columns.

Click and drag the 1 cell I wrote in the 4th collumn to replicate it in all the rows, then copy and paste the 4th collumn into notepad++.

I’d like to say I’ve moved past this; but my most successful projects have mostly been code generation ones; so really I’ve just moved past Excell.
