Uh no, the AI didn't crack any problem.

The AI produced the same hypothesis that a scientist produced, one that the scientist considered his own original awesome idea.

But the truth is that science is less about producing awesome ideas and more about proving them. And AI did nothing in this regard, except to remind scientists that their original awesome ideas are often not so original.

There's even a term scientists use when another scientist has the same idea but actually managed to do the work of proving it: "scooped". It's a very common occurrence. It didn't happen here.

The SCOTUS already held that schools cannot consider race in their admissions. But schools can still use geography, so they often give preference to applicants from disadvantaged neighborhoods. I don't think Trump's latest EO is going to change that.

Yes, but that does not mean they want to be publicly traded.

There are plenty of privately held for-profit companies, for example Valve. Their business model does not involve stock prices, in fact it is impossible to buy Valve stock.

I doubt that's their plan, since they aren't on the stock market.

There are no commas in the text. And even under your interpretation, the US is only obligated to seek action by the UN Security Council. They have done so.

Everyone agrees IGs can be removed after 30 days notice.

The legal question is whether in some cases they can be removed without 30 days notice. Team Trump argues they can, the IGs argue the only way they can be removed is with 30 days notice.

The judge has to decide who's right. Probably the IGs, but at this point it's too late to reinstate them. So instead the IGs will have to argue for money damages.

Section 4:

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used

The US promised to seek action from the UN Security Council if Ukraine suffered or was threatened with nuclear attack.

Ukraine hasn't suffered a nuclear attack. Even so, the US did seek action from the Security Council, but it was predictably vetoed by Russia.

The US promised they would not invade Ukraine, but they never promised they would protect Ukraine.

Her used Tesla is now competing against Musk for the next Tesla customer. And if too many people sell Teslas, the resale value drops which makes new Teslas even less attractive.

So he got her money, but she may have stopped him from getting someone else's money.

She was being dismissive because they were extremely unprofessional. That doesn't mean they will lose in the end. But they failed to show that this is an emergency.

When you ask for a TRO, you are asking for temporary measures due to an emergency. They aren't your last word, you are expected to follow up later with your full argument.

This is equivalent to asking your teacher for an extension three weeks after the assignment was due. A complete fail.

She said she was too busy to sanction the lawyer who wasted her time. Not too busy to enforce the law.

 

Ending the Gaza war: Three phase proposal

PHASE ONE

  • It would begin with a six-week ceasefire, during which the IDF would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza
  • Hamas would release "a number" of hostages - including women, the elderly and the wounded - in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Some remains of dead Israeli hostages would be returned to their families
  • Palestinian civilians would return to their homes in all areas of Gaza
  • Humanitarian assistance would "surge", with 600 trucks a day entering the strip, and hundreds of thousands of temporary housing units sent by the international community

During that six week period, negotiations mediated by the US and Qatar would continue. If successful, the next part of the plan would begin.
