Note that this is a treaty the US signed so it takes precedence over every other law.
There’s no such thing as “crossing illegally” when you’re seeking asylum. Asylum seekers are allowed to cross the border any way they can; they just have to report to immigration authorities once they get in.
No, they wouldn’t.
They would exist outside of our universe (since they created the universe), so the rules of physics in our universe don’t apply to them.
Even if the reality they existed in had something equivalent to atoms, it would be inaccurate to call those “atoms” since they are in different realities.
I largely agree, especially in the case of Amazon which is notorious for worker rights violations.
That’s why I described it as “as much as Bezos did” rather than in absolute terms.
On top of that, she was heavily involved in Amazon from its inception.
She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.
Only the federal government can determine whether or not the immigration is illegal.
For example, seeking asylum is legal immigration and there is no requirement for an asylum seeker to cross at an official port of entry.
Only the federal government has the right to evaluate asylum applications, so by trying to bypass the federal government, this law is effectively an attempt by the state government to deny people the right to seek asylum.
This is more like “is outraged to find out a hospital has a basement”
It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.
I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.
EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.
Portable digital identities are still an unsolved problem, even with Nostr.
They take a step forward in portability by using public keys, but that comes with a step backwards in multiple other dimensions like being able to recover your identity, key rotation, and just general ease of account maintenance.
I think Nostr is an important step in the right direction, but won’t be suitable for general use until those issues are addressed, and addressing them might require more drastic changes than simply adding an additional layer on top of it.
Yeah, but that 89% is going to include the bot and sock-puppet accounts.
