Biden could have done more, but Trump was charged and was in the process of being tried when Aileen Cannon blocked it. The appeal was abandoned when Trump was reelected. If the case was in front of an actual unbiased jurist, it would have gone much farther, but Cannon is pretty infamous for being a biased and inadequate jurist

Maybe not the hardest, but still challenging. Unknown biases in training data are a challenge in any experimental design. Opaque ML frequently makes them more challenging to discover.

Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Don Davis (N.C.), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.) and Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) voted for it. They should be primaried and vilified. Jefferies didn't whip the vote, but he did vote against it.

Now it's important to pressure senators to not pass the bill.

This is totally false. No Democrat voted to confirm him. It was 52 R for, 45 D, 2 I, and 1 R against. See https://ballotpedia.org/Confirmation_process_for_Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr._for_secretary_of_health_and_human_services#Confirmation_vote_roll_call for more details.

It's typical in cases like this to waive your right to a speedy trial.

There's a bunch of them, but one more common example is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

It's also possible to have a non-functional SRY (XY but female), or to be XX with an SRY translocation (XX but male).

Biology is complicated: pretty much anyone who says it only happens one way or is really simple is wrong.

Truth is a complete defense to defamation in the US. The problem is SLAPP protections don't go far enough when there is a large disparity in resources.

It's especially problematic when the consequences to victims go beyond lawsuits (reputational, mental, and physical well-being are all potential threats.)

Why is it that so many companies steal their employee's wages?

It's like they expect employees not to know better and contact an employment attorney and sue.

The most serious thing I heard of was Sotomayor's staff intimating to universities bringing the Justice in to speak hadn't purchased enough copies of her book.

Can't wait for the calls of "But her books!"

He's not exactly uninvolved in this case. The governor of California is an ex-officio member of the board of regents, and he did appoint 10 of the current regents.

But that said, we can do better than Newsom. His primary goal is to be elected to higher office no matter what he has to say or do.

Ain't nobody in the US got a fancy kitchen scale.

Lots of us have them. (Well, basic scales which weigh a tenth of a gram.) They're useful when weighing compressible dry ingredients like flour and brown sugar, and viscous wet ingredients like molasses and corn syrup. They're also helpful when you're multiplying a recipe by a factor that doesn't result in useful units; it's annoying to figure out how to measure out fractional cups that involve teaspoons.

They also help with portion control if you're watching calories.

So you expect Newsom to dispatch the California highway patrol to take over an active US Marine base staffed with Marines who have tanks? How do you think that's going to end? How would you even get enough CHP there to do anything?

First off, that's not an NIH study. It's a paper by researchers at a university that happens to have been uploaded to pubmed Central for open access. The NIH hosts pubmed.

Secondly, it's about crime reporting rates by national origin, not crime commission rates by national origin. So not responsive to the original comment.

Apparently planned years in advance.

This launch, designated GT 255, was scheduled years ago, and is not in response to world events.

They're from Charles T. Munger, a billionaire who lives in Palo Alto who champions Republican causes. It's almost always a billionaire, not rejected representatives.

Deflationary periods may be helpful to those with large amounts of cash or cash equivalents, which generally isn't the working class. Wage growth outpacing inflation helps the working class more.

He's likely using some kind of AAC which doesn't require typing. It's typical for them once you've selected a phrase using icons, you can repeat the phrase by selecting it.

That's the same as asking "How many deaths have seatbelts prevented?"

Just like measuring the effectiveness of the TSA, it is possible to measure the effectiveness of seatbelts.

So yes, you can come up with an estimate of how many excess deaths TSA prevented. (Especially since the government tends to try to convict people who were trying to kill people.)

I hear you, but let's not forget that Newsom is doing the bare minimum here.

I'm certain we can find a better nominee in 2028.

The California high speed rail project is still being built, legislators didn't shut it down. Check out the spring 2024 update.

Now it probably should be faster, but progress is being made.
