FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. is an example of the same principle without the name (afaik it wasn’t named that until later.) Basically the FDA tried to use its powers to regulate drugs and devices to regulate nicotine (drug) v

This specific law does not allow imposing tariffs, which is the whole point of the ruling. Roberts’s opinion says that a tariff is essentially a tax, which is not what Congress clearly delegated.

It’s not an absurd scenario. The law was written specifically to allow blocking imports from a country. The nuance is that nothing Congress passed granted to right to tax . Additionally, they did grant the power to partially block imports

These are different businesses. Walmart has a massive retail footprint, where Amazon does not. Amazon’s huge 3p seller network means it can offer advertising as a revenue stream in a way Walmart can’t compete with.

I wasn't thinking about tests, but yes those help for iteration. Deployment, version management, debugging things like compilation errors or package version mismatch, etc. I've done enough of this in my career that I can do it,

hot take: if all models stopped improving today, we could get there with today's technology. No, you couldn't whip out a foundational model out of the box to do this, but we could likely engineer our way to guardrails to support t

I went to a private school costing 1/3rd of this that had higher test scores. The majority of students were two grade levels ahead in math and reading by middle school iirc. These seem like middling results, especially considering the

We protect minors because they are children, and they are allowed to make mistakes. At a certain point, we say someone is an adult and fully responsible for their actions, because “that’s who they are”. It’s not entirely nuanced—and in the

I’m guessing this is tied to going public. In the US, they would be sued for securities fraud every time their stock went down because of a bad news article about unsafe behavior. They can now say in their S-1 that “our mission is not chang

Do you have reading on it being a stunt? That seems like a huge gamble. You’re basically inviting competitors and pissing off your supply (content creators.) If they view you as unstable, unreliable, or adversely motivated, they will look f

Having used Heroku at multiple startups during the 2012–2015 years, this is not correct. With heroku you could `git push heroku master` and it would do everything else from there. The UX was nice, but that was not the reason people chose it

A public SpaceX will still be run by Musk. A public SpaceX would have to sell assets like X for a huge loss given its debt load, which would also take a propaganda machine out of Musk’s hands. They’re stuck with those assets.
