I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.
I’m not sure a Supreme Court review is an official part of the process—the SC can review the constitutionality of ordinary laws, but amendments are constitutional by definition.
“You failed to adequately inform your investors about the risk of me.”
That makes me wonder—are there any major animal diseases for which humans are the reservoir species?
I think there should be a feature wherein every new community can designate a parent community and a minimum traffic threshhold; and if traffic falls below the threshold, posts and subscriptions are folded into the parent community until traffic picks up again.
Right—I was just thinking that limiting or scaling downvotes based on quantity rather than upvote/downvote ratio would address the criticism that it could be gamed with fake upvotes.
As long as you don’t observe it.
Hmm… as an alternative, what if the weight of a given user’s downvotes on a given server were divided by the number of downvotes that user made over the last (say) week?
So for instance the downvotes of a user who downvotes a hundred posts will have a tenth the weight of a user who downvotes ten posts.
Trump is the queen bee, but Putin is the beekeeper.
The executive branch is charged with enforcing the law: for the general public, the law is effectively what the executive branch says it is unless you have the resources to take them to court and prove otherwise.
Most of the judicial branch’s effective power comes from precedent: the court rules on one case, and that informs other officials’ interpretation of the law in similar circumstances going forward. This order seems to replace judicial precedent with the president’s opinion as the basis for interpreting the law outside the courts, with the court now only able to override that opinion on a case by case basis.
This is bad because it undermines the independence of federal agencies, it does not actually impact the Judicial system however.
I assume that independent agencies would primarily look to judicial precedents for guidance on interpreting the law, so the order is stripping the judicial system’s influence even if it’s not stripping its explicit authority.
Let me guess—the agency is ”really” being run by an AI that can’t be sued or subpoenaed by Congress.
There’s a certain neurological disorder where people can look at their own reflections and believe them to be fake or inhuman. I would expect them to make posts very similar to this one.
Would ex-Canadians be able to run for President?
Why not? The current president is from South Africa.
Same for those who hear the music in their heads whenever they see the title.
Between 2012 and 2021, this segment saw 21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours. Fatalities are down 24% from 2012, but it’s still over 27 times the driving fatality rate. That’s even more dangerous than riding a motorcycle.
Comparing accidents per hour might make sense if you’re only looking at them as recreational activities—but if you’re comparing them as forms of transportation, shouldn’t we be comparing accidents per mile?

The optimist in me says they’re doing this to avoid piracy.
Won’t pirates just buy their source copies on a different platform, so now Amazon loses the original sale as well?
The Great Gatsby, The Great Dictator, and The Great Escape.
I would never use an iPhone if my phone were my primary computing device. But I just make occasional calls and texts, and use a handful of apps (for instance, Nextcloud and Home Assistant connected directly to my home server, bypassing most of Apple’s ecosystem).
For a secondary device, I just want something simple and sturdy that I have to think about as little as possible—and for that specific use case the limitations are a plus.
