I think you are conflating two concepts. Most states do not allow recall of state legislators as you mentioned, but recalling federal legislators is not allowed in any state—there is no constitutional mechanism enabling it.

They raised $60 million—they can't afford to build out support a bit?

Wow, thank you for the explanation. I was taking it literally and had no idea what the parent was talking about.

What does Hilary Clinton have to do with this?

So if I wanted to mess with someone I can just send them tons of cheap crap from Temu and they'll be forced to pay tariffs for items they never asked for?

Is there some way to git clone this? It appears to use git under the hood but doesn't offer a publicly accessible interface.

> The other side of the table has no legal right to audits or reviewing the books so the opportunity for fraud is huge. Are private companies allowed to share some information with a subset of their investors and not others?

This is pretty cool! Is there code for this somewhere? Would be cool to implement a client for hackernews that uses this for when I'm on the train. Found some more tests here too that seem interesting: https://www.planujemyw

It is strange, I tried to add my public key but received a response that it was already in use (!). Is there a way to determine the user associated with a public key? Perhaps it's possible I have previously created an account but I fee

You made my point for me. States were always free to refuse to enforce federal law, and the federal government needed an enforcement arm at least for that case, be it the military, marshals, or DEA.

In what situation would you be decomposing a problem or coming up with critical code in the same way as a leetcode interview? Are you saying you have had to come up with solutions without access to additional resources like the internet?

It seems most organizations naturally become more risk-averse as they age and grow since the business becomes more well-defined over time and there is more to lose from risky ventures. The culture has to reward meaningful risk-taking even w

Is it cheating if you use the same tools to solve a problem as you would in a job? "No calculators" is lame when the job entails using calculators.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean about George Washington? When did this modern right of refusal come about?

A second opinion comes after services are rendered. I don't think you put your doctor through a ringer like an employment candidate, was the point I was making.

So things like civil rights would depend on the state you're in?

The states can't be compelled to enforce federal laws though can they? Isn't that how like sanctuary cities work? Or how weed is legal in some states but illegal federally? States can decline to assist federal law enforcement.

Do you perform interviews on potential doctors or lawyers you may choose to use? If you trust credentialing bodies for such important services why the distrust for something non-lifethreatening like an employee?

If following the framework does not provide value to the company, the framework is obviously flawed.

Who would enforce federal laws if there were no federal law enforcement agencies?

Those protections exist with significant limitations in the conventional financial system. See the widespread abuse of Zelle as an example.

The warrant explicitly limited the search and forbade a search of the deposit boxes. They not only ignored that but seized items in boxes they were specifically told not to search. How are these agents free from criminal charges?
