The 8th amendment has a clause that disallows “excessive bail”. In Stack v. Boyle, the Supreme Court found this to mean “that a defendant’s bail cannot be set higher than an amount that is reasonably likely to ensure the defendant’s presence at the trial.” So it follows that IN THEORY, bail is SUPPOSED to be set at an amount that is consistent with the defendant’s financial resources (including, it would also follow, increasing the amount for more wealthy people to ensure that it has the same proportionate effect on the defendant’s decision-making process).

Of course, that rule is just a bunch of meaningless words if nobody enforces it… and guess what, the main way to enforce this is by bringing a suit against the government alleging that they violated the rule. So IN PRACTICE (speculation warning here, I’m just some guy), I would imagine that they just set bail schedules at a level where anyone who can afford to pay won’t be able to win an “excessive bail” lawsuit, and anyone who can’t afford to pay it will also probably not be able to afford the cost of that lawsuit.

And something tells me that we aren’t likely to see a wealthy person suing the government for not setting bail high enough for them.

How could this happen to me

The term is Heisenbug

I could of course say this as well. It’s clearer with additional punctuation like “I could, of course, […]”, but I don’t think the comma-free version is technically incorrect (anymore, if it ever was).

New Zealand was not Kung Fu fighting

Their main site – not generated by the LLM – has buttons for “Try le Chat” and “Build on la Platforme” even though I’ve got the British flag selected for language.

That’s because “le Chat” and “la Plateforme” are their language-neutral marketing names for their products.

Sort of like how “GM” is still the name of the car company in like France even though it stands for “General Motors” which is an English term.

Attempts to prevent this phenomenon involve using what is called the “wait calculation” to predict how long to wait to launch an interstellar journey.

Looks like mojibake to me.

Once the lifetime appointees have been dealt with in whatever way, the Court will have nine members, each appointed one after the other with two years in between, with the next-most-senior member’s term expiring every two years to keep the number stable at nine.

J K and L are shortcuts that work no matter what element within the player that your keyboard focus is on.

From the perspective of phylogenetics, if you believe that all trout species and all shark species should be called “fish”, then all mammals are also fish, including you.

No, there is and always has been just the one standard text editor.

To be fair, await is a bit more like comefrom, and it’s been around for a few releases now.
