That's specifically not true if the death penalty is involved on a federal case. The jury has to unanimously agree on the death sentence. If they don't, the accused can only receive life in prison.

It's actually good that the US is trying to be harsher about it. Seems unlikely the jury will conclude the crime warrants that punishment, leading to a not guilty (since the jury only gets to say guilty or not) and no double jeopardy. IMO this is actually how Luigi will avoid much, if any, prison time, like with the Casey Anthony case. Happens with other murders where the prosecution fucks up by demanding a harsh conviction where there is too much doubt or mitigating factors. They get greedy, and lose the entire case.

Don't they use super statically verifiable code for these kinds of applications? Like, Ada?

This is rhe same reason I will never buy a house on slab: gotta hammer up the floor, fix, repour and refloor if you ever need those pipes down below.

Consistency is NOT the most important thing. Correctness is. This guy has been in the trenches flinging shit too long. I work with vendors and do my best to use the subset of their product that actually works correctly. I don't want new features to work like shit just because the old ones did too.

I'm not sure Americans can tell the difference

Cheaper & faster development by leveraging large libraries/frameworks, but inability to automatically drop most unused parts of those libraries/frameworks. You could in theory shrink Electron way down by yoinking out tons of browser features you're not using, but there's not much incentive to do it and it'd potentially require a lot of engineering work.

Maybe these schools will be forced to go mask-off and drop all their nonprofit academic programs to focus on football, their true cash cow.

It's not that they're doing something special, it's a cultual attitude thing. Finns feel content that they have enough, and aren't upset they don't have more. They consider that to mean "happy" for the purpose of these kinds of surveys.

Why is the village depopulated, if there's a huge industrial zone nearby presumably with lots of employees? I was thinking workers might want to buy or rent low cost housing near their workplace if the land is zoned for it and you could get electric and a well, then build some simple small housing. But if they're not buying in the village, might not be a great idea unless there's something wrong or lacking with available properties in the village.

The alternative to no social security, medicare, etc is the kind of human experience you see in a country like India which also doesn't have those sorts of programs. The disabled or old and poor end up either having to depend on their children, if they have any, or living on the streets begging and hoping for charity NGOs to help them.

And so, many areas become rife with poverty and disease. They're not safe, clean places to live let alone raise your kids. India ended up full of little gated communities because of this problem.

That's what America would become without social safety nets.

They look delicious. Like you could take a bite.
