which are?

Nothing in particular. Just the inability to move, muscle pain or stiffness, joint pain, and swollen, painful, or tender lymph glands in the armpit to name just a few. And that's just for dosage given under supervision of a doctor. If someone decides to use the horse version, they can have seizures or go blind. This is in addition to other neurologal or gastrointestinal issues. Or death.

So now that you have been factually informed, go ahead and make excuses and/or move the goalposts.

Maybe they can measure token use and punish X number of standard deviations away from the norm?

They probably don't want people not using any, but also not people using too many?

Still probably not a great metric, but there's ways measuring it don't mean maximizing use, and it sounds like MS is saying that's what's happening.

Comment Another of those preclusive authorities? (Score 2) 209

Is insider trading one of those preclusive constitutional authorities the Supreme Court was talking about? Or will this fall under an unofficial act?

It's hard to tell since the Supreme Court has said a president is immune from nearly every crime even though the Founding Fathers said the opposite.

It shouldn't be a problem if it's only a few hours a day I'd think.

I have an undersized AC (one window unit for a space that it can't really keep up), as long as I cool the house overnight it doesn't creep up too high during the day.

I know that's a different failure mode than giving up the ghost due to heat, but I'd think a similar pricipal would apply, cool it cooler than you normally would until noon, and it won't get too bad inside before 3 or 4?

Quified immunity is very problematic in the US (as it has been practiced).

Essentially if something isn't obviously illegal it can't lead to liability for the officer's actions.

The problem is that this means courts dismiss cases due to any level of ambiguity and the president that something is illegal (therefore making it obvious going forward) can't be set.

It basically makes the constitutional protections much lighter for new situations since courts don't hear the cases that would apply it.

This is what happens when you blindly accept what a computer tells you.

To be fair, before the era of computer maps or smart phones I once did something similar (but not as serious) in the Colorado Rockies. Looking at a paper trail map, I convinced my wife that we could hike up to a lake, have a picnic, and hike back down. After getting a little over half way up, we decided to just stop, eat, and hike back. The sun set well before we got back, we didn't have flashlights, and we could hear coyotes (and maybe wolves?) and other critters, and for about a half hour could barely see our way by the little moonlight filtering through the forest trees. But we made it back, no problem, except for the admonishments from my wife.
