It's just a matter of whose side you're on at this point.
Meh, we're certainly not on the side of Iranians.
Which ought to be a sign that maybe this faux consensus "all our analysis is proven correct" is oversimplification.

In an iterated game, the result of choosing your policy based willingness to put your troops in danger is the increase number of actors who are willing to put your troops in danger.

I don't think there's a rule against clearly attributed AI output. And I'm also curious.

Well, #1 I'd make him do some sports. That's the easiest way for any teen to get on the path of appreciating the differences between men and woman. That girl who was good at tag? Guess what, when you both at 15 shes no good anymore
Eh, actually 15 is still in the danger zone. Girls will have started puberty 1-2 years ahead (12-13) and so at 15 will still be ahead or apace. The boys will overtake them, of course, but sometimes not quite at 15. It's just at the inflection point.

"Vote so as to minimize the probability of the House, Senate and Presidency belonging to the same party" is a pretty good maxim.

Inflation isn't an even wealth tax because it's not uniform. If you own a diverse basket of real assets, they appreciate at the rate of inflation (definitionally).
It's hardest on folks with any kind of financial asset in nominal dollars: defined-benefits pension plans, social security etc....

require showing both that the agent were actually engaged in official duties and that the person took a specific action to interfere
I think the guys [EDIT later: in the famous video I surmise everyone has seen] standing in front of the ICE vehicle probably qualify. The agent was engaged in an official duty (going to/from some place) and standing in front of a vehicle is a pretty specific action to interfere with it.
The rest of the crowd egging them on are obviously not though.

You don't think Newsom will avoid prosecution? What kinds of timeline and odds are you offering for this, because I'm eager to take the other side of that one.

Agree with most of this. On the last part, I don't think you can prosecute your way out of corrupt unions. Labor law in the US was broadly designed to keep the peace, not to promote virtue.
I also think putting the DA on dealing with dozens oir hundreds of obstruction charges is probably a tactical success but a strategic mistake, given that it diverts resources from more serious prosecutions. If it were me, I'd tell them to pick a few to make an example of and plea the rest out to save powder.

That’s true, Congress has so much power when they write clearly that they don’t dare do so.

This isn’t a constitutional issue, before the court does anything, Congress needs to pass a law defining with precision what they are prohibiting.

But this isn't a conspiracy! It's a legitimate attempt to use a model to design a regulatory-compliant system.

Discerning the true beneficial owners through multiple layers of indirection is highly non-trivial. Threatening sanctions over it isn't addressing the core issue: the majority of countries (mostly) readily turn over specific details pursuant to a particular investigation.
Already most places in the world don't let US citizens open bank accounts easily because of all the extra regulatory burden the US currently imposes on third countries for US persons, there's no reason they can't extend that to trusts and foundations.
They can extend to US trusts and foundation, but when a Qatari firm shows up, that's not gonna apply.
[ It's also quite clear that the wholesale financial surveillance required here would make the debanking phenomenon seem quaint by comparison. A superweapon kind of thing.

Trusts and foundations can be taxed by the country in which they are incorporated. Poland can't just randomly start taxing Italian foundations.

GA is about one point redder than perennial tipping-point state PA and NC is 2-3 points redder.
Yup. So if they new tipping point is GA rather than PA, that's a pretty big swing. A 2.5 point swing would have changed the result in 7 of the last 20 elections.
suggests a party that can win if it avoids unforced errors.
Looking at their bench, I don't see it.

Depends if they would be allow consumers to use their AIs under the law of the hosts' State.
