consciousness seems to require short term memory, an internal representation of the world where 'experience' is an update to that internal representation. This would seem to require a brain, or transistors!

e^(\Delta x d/dx) f(x) = f(x + \Delta x)

And they do not have immunity for unofficial acts, which do seem to be many of the things that that Donald Trump is being charged for. The fact that many of the top comments here don't mention this tells me that we are grips of a partisan hysteria. Fortunately, the court is not, and one 'conservative' judge was in the dissent, and one 'liberal' judge concurred with the majority.

I think it's good that courts will no longer have to defer to federal agencies granting themselves powers "because we say so." This will stop mission creep of the federal regulatory agencies and correct a long term error in court precedent. The Supreme Court is doing its job.

acting for political expedience? They are making heavily impactful, politically unpopular moves to correct what they believe to be long term errors buried in court precedent.

I think the average person should, in fact, do what my former manager at the hedge fund advised me to do with my own money, just put it in a low cost index fund that tracks the S&P.

> Hege fund clients are almost all high net worth individuals who are very capable of making their own financial decisions

This is just blatantly false. The majority of clients are large institutions. FYI I used to work for one.

> It was started in 1949 by a middle-aged journalist with a masters in sociology and little-to-no investing experience.

Cue eyeroll. This triggered a rant in me. We really shouldn't be giving so much money to these people. But the problem is that we individually don't have much control over the matter because the majority of their clients are large pension funds, endowments, sovreign wealth funds, and government managers of social security, which themselves are managed by... managers who have an incentive to hand off the risk of being fired for poor performance to someone else. Very few clients are actually high net worth individuals who trust the skill of the hedge fund manager.

And indeed, most of them have no skill whatsoever. Hedge funds are, for a large part, part of a parasite economy, where large sums of money are diverted from astronomical sums of money without many people noticing.

Java is a good, fun language that gets the job done.

iatrogenesis - when a therapist gives a possible explanation for your problem, they actually harm you because you begin to see it and start acting it out. The world becomes a theater, and you are on stage, playing your part in your mental illness. But these problems have such a low bar for diagnosis, that the majority of people qualify for at least one. But if the majority of people have some trait, is it really illness?

annexation does not imply integration into civilian infrastructure. It's all sovereignty.

Israel's rationale for de-facto annexation is irrelevant.

It is not a separate state. Israel controls the borders and the airspace of Palestine and Palestine is not allowed, at least by law, to raise its own army, navy, air force. Israel is thus sovereign over Palestine and the Palestinians are its subjects, which is why Israel is not a democracy, and why this conflict is a rebellion.

"New funds that have been created for external investors have so far underwhelmed."

which is highly suspicious.

thank goodness.

I would think bigger antennas are easier to simulate.

I said it reminds me personally.

Haven't seen the film. But the concept reminds me of the Israel Palestine situation in the US.

it really is so much smoother of an experience nowadays.

How does this compare to AutoCAD?

don't we have Reddit's source? Why doesn't someone just clone it?

and some (all?) of these assholes are agent provocateurs, just like in the 60s, which a previous poster alluded to.

That was a hoax, she was brushed by a flag while someone walked past. The fact that you are even using that as evidence shows how weak the case you can make is.

that's a pretty terrible example considering the COINTELPRO program with the FBI sending letters to MLK trying to get him to kill himself and assassinating people.

I haven't seen a shred of evidence that these protestors are violent, or that they harass members of campuses, as they are said to do. The unbelievably harsh response from the universities and the state, which included forced dispersion by the police, roof snipers at Indiana University, and threats to call in the national guard by the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson at Columbia, has led me to feel incredibly depressed. I feel that we are reaching a schism in the history of the United States, where liberalism is dying and being replaced by... something else.

it's retribution.

If he says this and bought (and held) then I'm okay with it. If he says this and has sold, or not held, I'd think it's fraud.

not if both candidates are captured.

This is the same logic as would be used in banning the translation of the bible or the printing press. For any sufficiently concerned state, 'unbiased' means 'agrees with me'. For example, it may be seen in the USA to be 'unbiased' to be completely uncritical of Israel (anti-Zionism is anti-semitism according the US congress bill H.Res.894). However, this is not the case anywhere else in the world, including Israel (which criticizes itself sometimes), in fact it would seem quite insane.

You are correct.
