Despite all of those things people still travel across the world to give birth in US just so their posterity can become a part of our country. What other metric do you need?

Imagine a country extending citizenship to a whole group of people for no reason other than the location of their birth, and then allowing said people to access the benefits of citizenship, including the ability to receive welfare benefits,

I can imagine a compromise that exchanges a path to citizenship for DACA kids for restrictions on birthright citizenship. What is missing from this debate is the practical side of things. On the one hand, a permanent underclass of non-votin

Members of American Indian tribes were born in the United States after the 14th amendment was passed but it took an act of Congress to make them citizens. The question of jurisdiction is a very real one that isn’t nearly as cut and dry as y

Is he wrong though? Lots of bad precedents were set during that emergency, the consequences of which were still living with. The Overton window moved in a deeply authoritarian direction during that time period. Politicians across the spectr

I’m unsure what you mean by gated free speech zones. Sometimes specific areas are closed to vehicle traffic for a protest, but that doesn’t mean those locations are exclusively for protesting. In general protest is allowed wherever, provide

I mean this in the kindest way possible: if you're not from the US and your only window into our country is TV and the internet, consider the possibility that your assumptions about how things are here might not match reality.

Yes, that was the defense’s argument, which was ultimately unpersuasive to a jury. Rehashing it here doesn’t make it more persuasive or effective. I’ve been to several protests over the years and at exactly zero of them did I encounter fire

The Wikipedia link I posted should answer your question comprehensively.

He was charged with 37 felony counts, the most serious of which carried a maximum sentence of 20 years. Had he been convicted he would have surely gone to prison for far longer than Estrada. [1] Both the crimes Trump was charged with and Es

The activity in the body does not align with the title. Even putting aside whether such activities are justified in this case or acceptable in general, people do not commonly attempt murder or posses explosives at protests.

Estrada was convicted of "intending to conceal the box’s contents and impair its availability for use in a federal grand jury and federal criminal proceeding," not for just moving a box of zines. [1] Tampering with evidence is a s

People have difficulty visualizing large volumes of water. A square mile filled up to one foot with water is 208,544,914 gallons. 2.5 billion gallons of water would fill up this same square mile to only 12 feet. It’s the size of tiny lake.

Occam’s razor would suggest someone at Google took it down. I’m not sure we need to reach for convoluted explanations to explain things.

The effort required to maintain the orchard when its fruit would go to waste would be even more destructive and wasteful, no? Which is really the greater injustice?

The real way to use AI with CAD is to have it generate macros or scripts that interact with your tree or model.

This sounds like a cool project, I would love to hear more about it. I am trying to solve a similar problem myself.

Very good, but you only did half the work for a reasonable comparison. Now figure up the costs for solar panel production, installation, operation, and disposal, and compare them.

How much CO2 is released producing, shipping, and installing the solar panels? GP is right: you gotta consider all the variables.

If his point is that unserious you could just, you know, refute it.

And that benefits them… how?

Related, the longer you wait to do it, the faster they seem to catch on. We waited until each of our kids’ third birthday to potty train and knocked it out in a weekend, no major subsequent accidents. A lot of parents will tell you they’ve

They can totally make it work, it’s just currently cheaper to have humans do it. Solving the technical challenges and using that solution profitably are two completely different things.

How would the spot price go to zero? Wouldn’t it be infinity? Demand is not zero, supply is zero?

Just because the gold standard had flaws doesn’t mean the fiat system that replaced it is flawless or even better. There are tradeoffs involved in both systems. In a fiat currency system there is no meaningful constraint on the supply of mo
