I understand your point, but that's what this law would theoritcally accomplish. It would limit representatives/senators from being able to trade stocks (a higher standard than an average citizen). While they can buy/sell stocks before the law, that's just the current state of affairs.

Regarding the timing of trades, etc. The value of their insider knowledge is really only beneficial over long periods of time. Yes they could buy/sell stock in the interim, but preventing it long term would be an actual win.

That's how laws work. You can't generally make something illegal retroactively, otherwise you could change the law to persecute anyone you want.

How would you want them to approach it?

Trump is almost as old as Biden and probably more senile. It's not just lying, Trump has a complete lack of understanding about how anything in the government functions. He only sounds coherent to many people because he literally says nothing.

If you re-watch the debate, you'll see Biden actually responds to questions about his policies and platform. Trump never comes close. Part of that is probably because he has no platform, but largely because I don't think he's capable of answering those questions.

"Required" might not be the right word, but here's an article about how the San Fransico Trains are updated via floppies - https://www.wired.com/story/san-francisco-muni-trains-floppy-disks/

In the US at least it's not about required, but more legacy support. There are still a lot of old systems that work, but use old technology.

Because Bronny got a pretty good deal. It looks likely that LeBron took a cut to give it to his son - https://nypost.com/2024/07/03/sports/bronny-james-contract-details-revealed-after-lebrons-lakers-deal/

I think it's to late to change things up. That's the problem, everyone told the DNC this was going to happen and yet they all just kept with Biden.

That being said, I don't think either Trump or Biden are in a state to actually run the country. Their cabinets are going to hold all the power, and I trust Bidens cabinet over Trumps any day.

I think I can transalte: "How can he fold towels if he doesn't have a chin?"

Cause most people hold the middle part of the towel with their chin when folding.

Why does a single player game have mtx at all? I just don't get the point of it.

Yeah, I've only ever seen this brand when it was the only option to get water, in a place where I wasn't allowed to bring my own water ಠ_ಠ

It's great seeing time and time again that no one really does understand these models and that their preconceived notions of what biases exist ends up shooting them in the foot. It truly shows that they don't really understand how systematically problematic the underlying datasets are and the repurcussions of relying on them too heavily.

Not OP, but the point of asking for an ELI5 is that sometimes you don't even know where to start. For example I clicked the link you provided and only have more questions as I don't really know what people mean by display servers, etc.

Sure I could look everything up and try to understand, but the hope is someone in the community might provide a better or faster summary than what can currently be found online.
