Thanks. This is the study that the article is talking about. The complete paper is https://journals.physiology.org/doi/pdf/10.1152/japplphysiol... It's based on earlier work that suggests that erythrito

This reminds me of the observation that you shouldn't buy a car from a dealer who calls himself Honest Ed. Because honest people just go around being honest, they don't go around broadcasting honesty.

This is one of the dumbest projects I've ever seen, and I mean it as a compliment. I'm in awe.

I had a similar experience with Bekins a few years ago. A sales rep came to my house to look at my stuff; he promised a crew of six. On moving day, two broken-down subcontractors arrived with a rented truck.

This 21-centimeter transition was chosen by the designers of the Pioneer plaques ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque ) to explain to any alien readers how big we are. At top left is a cartoon of two hydrogen

I wish there were a summary up front. Or at the end. Software didn't work? Security problems? Bad support? Too expensive? I can't tell.

The judge's opinion explains this in detail. It depends on the so-called "good-faith exception" to the exclusionary doctrine. The idea is that if the police tell the truth in their warrant application of what they are lookin

“No warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, … and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Judge Magit violated the amendment by issuing the warrant .

It's the breadth. Searches have to be narrowly tailored to provide evidence of the specific crime being investigated. There's discussion of this on pages 12–13 of the judge's opinion. https://plover.com/~mjd

The Fourth Amendment was violated by the magistrate judge who issued the illegal warrant, not by the police officers who, acting in in good faith, executed it.

No. In 2020 the police went to a magistrate judge to ask for a warrant. The judge issued the warrant. Five years later, another judge has determined that the warrant should not have been issued in the first place. That is not the fault o

It is not reasonable to hold someone accountable for doing something illegal in 2020 that was only determined to be illegal in 2025. The police officers applied to a judge for a warrant. The judge gave them the warrant. Now another judge

Learn to tell the difference between "I don't like it" and "horseshit". The legal precedent for this goes back decades, and it's been argued by many people better-informed than you. https://en.wikipe

It's a perfectly reasonable defense to a charge of mail fraud, for example. Or employing illegal aliens. "But they told me they had work visas, and they showed me what later turned out to be expertly-counterfeited visas!" W

This is not responsive. The police did not commit a crime here. Also note that there are good-faith defenses to all sorts of crimes, because (for example) there is a difference between knowingly defrauding a customer and just making a mist

The purpose of the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine is to disincentivize illegal collection of evidence. But there has always been a good-faith exception to it: if the police genuinely believed that what they were doing was

The rule that illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible exists to disincentivize the police from obtaining evidence illegally. But if the police believed, in good faith, that a particular search was legal and reasonable, based on the fact

It took me a while to track down the actual opinion. The case, United States v Spurlock , is 3:23-cr-00022 in the Nevada federal district. The opinion itself is ECF document #370, and I have hosted a copy at https://plover.com&

Do you still think so, after seeing them stonewall the courts in the Kilmar Abrego García case? To me it appears they a brazenly flouting the law.

How would a final court ruling shield someone from executive power? The court relies on the executive to enforce its decisions. They can find a person in contempt, and order fines or jail time until that person complies, but I believe the
