Incorrect, see Gerald Ford's preemptive pardon of Richard Nixon in 1974.
I wish I could go back in time to 1996... everything on the internet seemed so much more meaningful, not to mention textual (because images took so long to download).
Why aren't companies scrambling to provide a plug-in encryption product? Forget Google's default https, I want easy end user encryption.

"Abstract. I think there's a small but non-negligible probability that humans or their descendants will create infinitely many new universes in a laboratory. Under weak assumptions, this would entail the creation of infinitely many sentient organisms. Many of those organisms would be small and short-lived, and their lives in the wild would often involve far more pain than happiness. Given the seriousness of suffering, I conclude that creating infinitely many universes would be infinitely bad."
"All"? I'm not even sure about "most". I would love to see a citation for this extraordinary claim.
