The Insurrection Act[1] is still in force. The President can legally suspend Posse Comitatus with a simple proclamation and then he can use federalized Guard or regular troops to enforce law as he pleases. Article II and Congress have inves

What do you mean "we?" China has not just indicated but incontrovertibly demonstrated that they do not care about carbon dioxide emission targets. They are massively ramping up their oxidative energy production. So as I see it the

Edsger Dijkstra kept a kind of primitive blog on paper[1]. Largely, so far as I can tell and with a few published exceptions, it was meant for himself. It's a goldmine of course. Personally I find some of his snarkier papers entertaini

One of the most under appreciated things about the JVM is its well-defined memory model.

I think the reason it works is because it’s not technically a buyout. It’s 8 months of reduced duties.

Do you want to try asking a question that isn't a category mistake?

Delaware throwing away its reputation as a reasonable, reliable, and above all predictable place for corporate law is an incredible own goal that more people should be talking about.

If an exit package increases your agency, then take it! If an exit package doesn't increase your agency, then increase your agency in your current role!

Funny you should say that because an American guy did that a hundred years ago and nailed it. He divided reasoning into the two categories corollarial and theorematic.

Whoah. That's deep. Deep learning! Yeah man, you're totally on to something!

Why would you think that? It's obviously false if you just think about it, but you can also do some searching if you need some authority to tell you.

Only believing things that you can easily reason through if you are presented with some external authority really is a cognitive antipattern though. I’d say that prologue was more medicinal than condescending. It’s good to remind people in

This is nothing new. Google's instrumental role in the "Arab Spring" is old hat by now.

Just out of curiosity, do you think the 2nd amendment obligates the USA to sell foreign enemies any and all weapons?

by User23 2y ago
Yes but foreigners have way lower presumption of rights.

IANAL, but my lay opinion is that thanks to the foreign commerce clause this would be a matter of rational basis. So quite likely Congress could craft such a law and have it hold up, if it could show that foreign control of the NYT (which i

No they really are. Arbitrarily long means "pick a number any number." Infinite means, well infinite. And infinity is always bigger than "pick a number, any number." I suggest that you read Michael Sipser's Introduc

Arbitrarily long and infinite are very different things.

Northeastern is a major part of PLT right? What does this mean for the future of sch^H^H^Hracket?

That uses to be called CIS. When I was at Harvard they still took the algorithms class. Yeah, it was the ezmode version, but it still covered stuff like how to build a hash table and a trie.

In our present society, gaming the test is part of the test. Whether it's learning the social mores of the institution you're trying to join, or grinding test prep, or whatever else. Is that ideal? Probably not, but like I said no

I instantly knew as soon as I saw the image. It's the Magic Eye trick. The same one you use to view stereoscopic images. The differences will just flicker.

Measuring potential isn’t particularly difficult. Everyone from the NFL to the US military does an adequate job of it. Of course it’s not perfect, but it’s literally good enough for government work.
