From the perspective of traditional family values, in Ancient Rome you had 8 days after the child was born to decide whether to keep them or to leave them on a mountain to die from exposure and get eaten by vultures. But you couldn’t, say, abuse the child during the first 8 days regardless of whether you were going to keep them or not.

I think the NYT is conflating the idea of personhood and equal rights here.

There is no logical reason why other rights shouldn’t kick in before the right to life, in the same way that, say, the rights to drive or vote kick in afterwards.

Even if the Supreme Court rules in favor of fetus personhood, I don’t see any reason why that should change current abortion policy or somehow grant a fetus equal rights, whatever that would mean.

What does this mean exactly?
The system simply needs to differentiate between a grade "not yet posted" and a zero. I'm not sure why this observation has not been made by LMS software designers.

I don't buy that fetal personhood automatically leads to the persecution of women and policing of pregnancies. These sorts of scenarios where mothers are being charged with manslaughter for getting into a car accident while pregnant are exceedingly rare and probably a case of a bad judge more than bad law. Is there not a way to compromise and protect both fetal personhood and women?

I would wager most pro-life people only want: fetuses to have personhood and abortion as a contraceptive to be outlawed. There are sensible scenarios where an abortion is unavoidable to save the life of the mother or in some other medical emergency scenario, for example. Possibly rape and incest, too. But that's no different from other rare scenarios like conjoined twins (both have personhood) where one has to die for the other to live.

But an abortion because you had unprotected sex and don't want the baby (which I have no data on but I'm guessing represent the overwhelming majority of desired abortions)? Not a good enough reason, in my opinion.

As a pro-lifer I would be willing to compromise on abortion: allowed for extraneous circumstances (mother in danger, rape, incest, etc.), not allowed simply because it is undesirable. Crimes against fetuses are no different from crimes against a newborn. If you inject yourself with heroin while pregnant, why is that any different than injecting your newborn with heroin?
I don’t know, a missing “Happy New Years” isn’t missing dollars, but it’s definitely not cool to drop such a greeting —or any message—in my opinion. It should definitely be possible to at least store and then deliver these messages late. The baseline should be 100% deliverability and anything less than that should be subject to intense scrutiny. I mean, how big of a Kafka cluster do you need to make this happen?

I played Magic for about 12 years (1994 - 2006), and played competitively for a good chunk of that time. I am absolutely mind-blown at how expensive the old stuff has become. I remember when moxes were $100 cards and dual lands were $5 cards, compared to now. I played a lot of vintage back then, and while it was an expensive hobby, it was still possible to afford it with some diligence and effort. The best part about magic was that it simultaneously doubled as both a collector's hobby and a competitive outlet for me. The collecting aspect of it is too expensive now (for my particular tastes), but I do miss having a competitive gaming outlet. 5 color control ('The Deck') is still my favorite deck in the history of the game, even though it stopped being competitive in vintage around 2003. And to make things more fun my favorite variant of it is still Brian Weissman's creatureless Jester's Cap build where you pick your opponent's deck clean with Jester's cap and disruption and then either deck them with Stroke of Genius, or burn them out with Kaervek's Torch to finish.
Cool dude, you've invented Anarcho-capitalism. Go you. Let's also privatize everything like roads and education and police and prisons and all of the things because taxes are theft and if I plug my ears and scream loud enough then they can't educate me on everything that went wrong in the Gilded Age.

Wow, you completely and utterly missed the entire point of everything I wrote and just made up strawmen

Disney creates design (action 1). Someone puts it on human skin (action 2). Someone uses that image of the tattoo on a person as promotion (action 3).

Most people would agree even if you tattoo Darth Vader on your body you can't use Darth Vader on your body for promotion it belongs to Disney

Change action 1 to the same person as action 2. Why does the tattoo artists not get the same rights as Disney? Nothing changed except replacing Disney with Tattoo artist. In fact let's add a 3rd case. Tattoo artist hires friend to design tatoo. Why is this friend not afforded the same rights as Disney?

AFAICT the law is on the side of the person that created the art (or owns the copyright in the art if the person that created it transffered their rights). If you tattoo Darth Vader on yourself the person who owns the rights to Darth Vader doesn't suddenly lose their rights. Instead, you irresponsibly used someone else's IP. Nothing changes if that IP holder is suddenly not Disney.

This is true for normal contracts, at least in the USA. If you contract an artist to draw something for you, unless you specifically get them to sign away all their rights in the art via the contract they retain those rights.

https://www.google.com/search?q=artist+retain+rights+unless+...

You could argue the person paying for the tattoo as a reasonable expectation that the tattoo now belongs to them, not the tattoo artist. But that doesn't seem to fit with normal case law. If you pay your buddy $100 to make a logo for your new youtube video you may think you're done. The logo is yours. But AFAICT unless you specifically signed a contract your buddy would actually still own the rights to that logo regardless of the fact that you paid him. See all the links that google search brings up. Even though most poeple would say common sense says the artist has no rights, you paid them, case law says otherwise. Without a specific contract saying otherwise you don't own it even if you paid.

The key distinction between a burned match and a some bitcoin is that you can't forge the latter. Anyone can forge a match, and it would be extremely difficult to create an "authentic" match, which the receiver of in a transaction could verify to be such.

Anything could technically be used as currency. Historically people have always used something that is difficult to forge, because forgery results in inflation, meaning the currency which they hold loses its purchasing power over short times. It ends up not worth the labor they put in to earn it. If that were known at the time they done the labor, they would've asked for payment in something else.

Bitcoin is the best currency that has existed, because it is the first which is absolutely infeasible to forge, and it is simultaneously easy to verify its authenticity.
This is such a frequently peddled lie it has become a cultural truth. The saying neglects to mention that same volume of drivers on expanded roads is always better for traffic—which is why we ask for more lanes and better roads.

Since driving is the preferred mode of transport, the fact that a reduction in traffic encourages more driving (and congestion) should not surprise anyone.

The question we should be asking is whether people are being better served stuck at home afraid of traffic or would they be better off getting out and going places.
If it was easy to solve, it’d be solved already. It’s not easy and it’s not cheap, and for those reasons it’s likely it won’t be done.

It’s already cheaper to build new solar plants and wind farms than continue to run an existing coal plant (which itself is cheaper to run than nuclear).
> I prefer using C-style casts for brevity,

There are strong reasons to avoid them altogether in C++, not the least is that you can sometimes get a reinterpret_cast where you expected a static_cast semantically - usually because you have forgotten to include the header that has the definition of the type, and are dealing with an incomplete type (explicit static_cast will fail in that case; but C-style cast will be treated as a reinterpret_cast, even if it would have been a static_cast if the definition was visible and type was complete).

> Who does that?

The typical example is when people pass std::strings to printf, either because they expect them to work with %s, or because they simply forgot to call data(). Unfortunately, on compilers that don't try to detect structs-as-varargs, this often works by accident.
Replace both at the dealer. So $100/hr labor for each and $50 for parts and tax. In the Bay Area the labor cost for every skilled/semi-skilled job costs at least $100/hr. Plumber, electrician, tree trimming, etc.
I've never had assignments that were supposed to have parental assistance after preschool, yet many of them needed it to get a non-failing grade. Perhaps 1% of middle school kids can do a science fair project on their own with all the research tracking and results board and all. But still if you failed that, you failed the class. Utterly ridiculous. Kids that age should be exploring and apprenticing, not coming up with original research.

Not implying there aren't exceptional students, but they are exceptions. And for everyone else, we train them to be good factory workers for the disappearing industries of America. The one thing we all agree on is that the system is broken.
As a "previously disadvantaged" South African whose mother was quite "high" in the education hierarchy - she set the final year national exams for high-school students one year in one subject and moderated examiners' marks for many years before and after that - I find this quite interesting.

Well, interesting is perhaps not the right word.

Disgusting.

Not at America, but toward my country's own education system.

My mother never cared about the money. In fact, she was offered huge salaries from so-called private schools (the wording/nomenclature is a story for another time). She never took it. Her main goal was always education for students who she felt were disenfranchised. Growing up, I'd often see her very sad about a bright student who got killed because of their surroundings or something else regarding their upbringing. But she always remained determined!

It breaks my heart these days to see that she is unhappy not because she is not able help the same students from the same backgrounds, but because she simply REFUSES to. She does not believe my country's education system is equipped to give them what they need. So, instead of taking a big salary from government (she is officially retired, btw) to teach "previously disadvantaged" students in government-endorsed programmes, she does it gratis when the students approach her personally.

I just realised why I never mentioned why she doesn't sign up for "government-sponsored" initiatives in terms of education. She - as do I - simply believes the standard they expect is not of the quality that should be given to the youth. So she will rather offer her standard "for free". I hope I don't have to explain why her method is not compatible with the paid-for alternative...
Humans can do a lot of things we don't understand how to convince software (...or other humans who don't intrinsically learn it very well) to do.

Lidar lets you get a high degree of accuracy for certain variables in your model - because you can know fairly accurately when and how strong the signal you sent out is, you can have a fairly high degree of confidence when you get reflection of how far away the object is, and feed that into your persistent idea of the world, versus having to use a bunch of heuristics to try and extract that from purely audiovisual data.

(That's my understanding, at least - I don't work in that industry.)
The only thing making any of this difficult is that Congress doesn’t want to do it. If they wanted to find the government, it would be funded. If they wanted to have the government stay open by default, it would be done. It’s not that simple, but only because a substantial part of Congress doesn’t want to do this.

I don’t think this financial pressure would change anything. But it would be trivial to avoid if they wanted to.
Something like this should do the same thing, I think?:

How huge is huge? The rest of the chain sounds pretty straightforward, even at 5MHz. That's not to say that an FPGA is wrong for the application, but nothing in that list screams "must use FPGA" to me.

However, the whole program screams "get to market, then iterate" to me, which is a very effective way to move forward with a product like that.

Note: I've shipped products doing continuous signal processing on DSP, GPU, CPU, SoC, and FPGA. (MCU eventually... Give me time.) I did the mental swag on the described processing chain...

Out of curiosity, how big is your FPGA?

18% at a horrible cost and not for all uses of energy. The german energy politics is a diaster. You are confusing reality with potential. Most countries get energy outside their own countries just like Denmark who are even higher on wind but still had to get coal based energy from germany because of the lack of wind this summer. Solar and wind isnt even close to solving actual energy needs which includes transportation one of the biggest co2 immitors.

And no realistic fuelcell technology or disrributed grids.

Sorry to be blunt, you can't expect a heroin addict to quit because someone raped them. It's really hard to quit heroin.

It's really hard to be pregnant and not kill your fetus especially when your own life is a mess.

Not injecting a newborn with heroin is easy. Mess that up, and you were extremely negligent.
No it wouldnt be solved already since the political environment is completely against nuclear, so simply false. Solar is a fraction of energysupply and will not even be close to being signifficant whare it really matters which is in transportation.
>The cycles are not wasted - they secure a digital currency.

But why though? Is the USD that insecure? Is fraud so prevalent that its debasing the value of currency? Do we literally need to spend 70TWh per year, and that's just in its current state as a semi novelty currency/commodity, to secure the concept of money? Can you imagine how much it would cost to run bitcoin if it was the primary reserve currency of the world?
As a matter of fact, this (merchants giving a discount for cash transactions) used to be illegal in Brazil. It recently became legal, but I haven't seen much evidence of changes.

I can personally relate to this story. My wife has been working in education for the past 6 years. She frequently complains about the rediculous workload, byzantine regulations and red tape and the rediculosly low pay she gets to deal with it all. But she’s not alone. I frequently hang out with her and her co-workers and they all seem to be feeling the same way. Many are wondering if all their efforts are making a diffrence at all. Some of them have left and found jobs in the corporate world where they can work a steady 9 to 5 while receiving better benifits and compensation. Many of them found jobs in corporate training where they can put their education expertise to good use. I’m not sure what it’s going to take but something has to be done to stop this trend. The education brain drain is going to have serious reprocusions in a few short years. What’s going to happen when there just isn’t anyone willing to take on the workload? Sure, raising pay would help but that just seems to be the tip of the iceberg. Educator need more resources to do the job right and it seems they’re just not getting them right now.
You are speaking as if your philosophical viewpoints are settled facts. Your opinions on the nature of money are not facts and cannot be proven. We can propose theories about why something has value, such as a currency, but ultimately it comes down to philosophy when you are trying to understand why dollars / gold / bitcoin is worth something.

At the end of the day, something has value because two people agree it does. One painting is worth $100million and another $100 because two people agree that’s what it’s worth. Why two people agree something has value is the matter of endless debate. But I assure everyone reading that the commenter I am responding to is not certain to the answer, and actually no one really knows. This is philosophy, we can all have opinions.

Pretty much everyone in Portugal ( other than the usual ones ) rolls their eyes when the read stuff like this.

Although not at the same level of Brazil, politicians in Portugal do the same thing depending of how arrogant they are in not getting caught. It's full of bottom feeders trying to get some cushy position for themselves, I think it's our main problem right now, the sheer amount of money sucking parasites from top to bottom.
How does that change if 100m people want to live in a city that realistically houses 10m?

A bit of an unrealistic scenario, but my city has a very low vacancy rate, and you can't live there on minimum wage / just above. There are just too many people making more money.
> Otherwise, if money has no intrinsic value then why work for it?

Because it has value to me, and to many other humans who I know and trust, which gives it _extrinsic_ or subjective value. To be snarky: Maybe you should learn to think through others ideas, or read their suggested reading, before accusing them of ignorance.
