It’s one with fifty sovereign states with their own criminal justice and judicial systems. So the question really should be, You can jail children in Tennessee?

It’s served me well to be able to hold money when stocks seem really high, without being coerced by inflationary policy to throw more money into a bloated stock market by our political masters.

So then the U.N. and China both have an empty seat for Taiwan.

What about his upbringing gave him the ability to recall pages from books he’d read decades later?

Nothing. They put effort into his education because of his brilliancy, and your standard Jewish-American household could do the same thing.

I don’t think he was one.

Lincoln refused to coexist with the Confederates.

I’d put refusing to coexist with Communists on that level, and they actually took over von Neumann’s home country.

> In the real world 99% of parents don't have the time to teach their child anything beyond how to speak and walk and answer their questions.

Yeah, they’re too busy coaching their kids’ sports teams.

Do you think Lincoln was a lunatic?

I am asking if congressional-executive agreements have an exception in the rules.

Would it need 60% to get Senate cloture?

Why don’t you tell their ISP to cut them off?

I disagree with that metric, because many students should not finish high school — I think the graduation rate is too high in every state. I would compare states based on testing performance, keeping in mind California’s demographics and the absurdly high number of kids who don’t speak English at home.

I should say I think its schools are fine, rather than great.

The real moral failing (not in a serious light) of living there is that you’re funding the Bay Area landlords.

The public schools aren’t pitiful at all. California has great schools.

I literally wrote, “If you’re under 30 and seemingly healthy your fatality rate is much lower.”

If you’re going to disagree with me at least disagree with me.

> In addition, science has not yet made a conclusion on the forest fires (the governor may well be proven right),

That is impossible. Climate's a chaotic system, you can't back-predict the timing of droughts. And we already know that with or without human greenhouse gases, California has droughts. There is not some alternate history where California’s forest management practices wouldn't let these kinds of fires happen.

What’s conclusive is that more greenhouse gases means higher temperatures.

What’s not conclusive is the doomsaying and specific claims about the future and present. A great example of this is California’s governor blaming forest fires on climate change, and another one is the signs predicting certain glaciers would melt.

Either is for the purpose of central control of discourse.

That number for under 30’s is full of people who are extremely fat or otherwise have preexisting health problems. If you’re under 30 and seemingly healthy your fatality rate is much lower.

You might have multiple inputs or outputs for an ordinary payment. There are several other types, see https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/transactions.html#sta...

> . If you try to maintain a $20k balance for a year, for example, you’ll discover that this balance counts against your deductions for that tax year (effectively a negative $20k deduction). Or at least that’s my understanding so far.

You don’t get taxed on having a balance; you do get taxed on the income that generated it. (Or am I missing something crazy?)

Nope, we don’t want central democratic control over who can transact. We want no control.

Apple shouldn’t be interfering with other businesses and their users like this. It’s sad to see people here celebrating their inability to run unapproved software.

Classical liberals want some semblance of limited government, and would oppose many mainstream Democratic ideas.

Lib means liberal, and not in the sense of classic liberal.

There is no crisis. Death rates from severe weather gets lower and lower every decade, as does economic damage, relative to wealth. This trend will continue as long as we don’t gank the economy.

Allegedly, it’s saved lives: https://www.wsj.com/articles/climate-change-heat-cold-deaths...

So far, anyway.

That’s paying for the development of the software.

Their customers aren’t paying for the software.

If it were open source, then somebody else could repackage it and sell it themselves.

Be serious.
