"In a line of precedent almost a century old, the Supreme Court has repeatedly stressed that the Double Jeopardy Clause does not preclude the government from retrying a defendant whose conviction is set aside because of an error in the proceedings leading to conviction." |

basically this translates to "the constitution is there to protect the government from having to do things it doesn't want to do, not to protect the citizens from things the government wants to do but shouldn't" |

back to the lulzlaw department for a moment, " Nonetheless, the government concedes that it failed to file a timely certificate with the district court "that the appeal was not taken for purpose of delay and that the evidence is a substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding," although § 3731 required it to do so. The government has now filed such a certificate, and correctly notes that the late filing, alth |
| 17:17 |
mircea_popescu |
ough not regarded with favor, does not rise to jurisdictional dimensions." |
| 17:18 |
mircea_popescu |
o, so the government filed late ? it's ok, we'll invent some legally meaningless words it can be bad in, but otherwise it's fine. |
| 17:18 |
mircea_popescu |
you try filing late. |
| 17:18 |
mircea_popescu |
fuckheads delayed filing the certificate that they're not appealing to delay. |
| 17:19 |
mircea_popescu |
"The certificate was filed seven months after the entry of the district court's order and six months after the filing of the government's notice of appeal. It was filed only after the defendants raised the issue of its absence in their briefs to this Court." |
| 17:20 |
mircea_popescu |
and so therefore, " If the requirement of the timely filing of a certificate is to have substantial meaning, the government's appeal here should be dismissed. Indeed, the purpose of the certificate requirement is to ensure the government has verified the propriety of its appeal, and so certified to the district court, at the time it files its notice of appeal. That purpose is defeated by the perfunctory filing of the c |

Being subject to the prejudice and technical limitations of the times is inescapable (the notion of "humors" may have made more sense without knowing of chemical reactions).

mod6 |
Allow me to elaborate for a minute here and I'll explain why I did what I did. |
| 19:38 |
mod6 |
To begin with, I was completely unfamiliar with gentoo in any sense -- aside from once trying to set it up from the Handbook, which I found that I didn't have time to work my way through and get it set up properly. So my goal was to get familiar with Gentoo and to start to build a system that can be agreed upon that suits our needs for building bitcoind. |
| |
↖ |
| 19:40 |
mod6 |
One of my goals was to get this going as soon as possible in AWS so we could continue with builds/testing/development and ditch Debian6. And additonally, I have a 350Gb storage volume there that I wanted to not just discard as it has at least half-a-dozen fully sync'd blockchains on there. |
| 19:41 |
mod6 |
So the idea was that I would learn a few things about Gentoo, get a hand-rolled stage3 + a fully blessed tool chain and be able to attch my "btc-dev" storage volume and just pick up where we left-off -- at lesat as far as what artifacts I'd already collected. |
| 19:43 |
mod6 |
Upon news of my endevour, Mr. P. asked me to document what I'd done carefully so we all can be on the same page -- which is also good because I don't know what I'm doing with Gentoo anyway. Having people look over what I'm doing provides some bit of steering in-case I get off course. |
| 19:45 |
mod6 |
So basically that's where we are. I've gotten to the point where I can create an AWS AMI -> deploy hand-rolled Gentoo instance. I'll certainly continue to build out the blessed toolchain over the next week and beyond. Further, then I'll take what I've learned from all of this and apply it to building a hand-rolled Gentoo on a bare-rails environment. |
| 19:45 |
mod6 |
Apparently this is not much different than what I've already done, but I really don't know. |
| 19:45 |
gabriel_laddel |
mod6: have you looked into the portage sources? |
| 19:46 |
gabriel_laddel |
I was poking around the other day - first there is ~70k LoC, which wtf seriously |
| 19:47 |

And lastly, I really need to get some sort of physical environment here to support that last part. So I'll work on figuring out something for that as well. Maybe even an old laptop. |

well ok, but in terms of standards : as a young man with no property, your options were essentially to go into military service, which offered pay and, upon serving 18ish to 20something years, a large settlement payment and provincial land. |

this allowed you to take a young woman and start a household in relative security. the exact american dream. |

the alternatives to this are unclear. if very clever you could have traded, but various ethic groups had a defacto monopoly on that, and a very large cultural advantage. |

At the time, the retired official said, the Seals did not think their mission would be made public by Obama within a few hours: If the president had gone ahead with the cover story, there would have been no need to have a funeral within hours of the killing.

"But the one thing it seems to me that economists wake up--if you wake them up in the middle of the night and say, 'Hey, what's the most important thing?' They will say, 'Marginal cost pricing.'
