The context of militias around the time of the writing of the Constitution was explained in the link that I provided. More on that in a second.

My key point was that there wasn't a right for a person...to keep and bear arms. There was a right for THE PEOPLE to do so as part of a militia. With two major points to be kept in mind. The first was that not all militias were government organized. The second was that this right was a protection from federal interference. For example Virginia didn't want Congress deciding to undermine how they ran their militia. Furthermore it is important to understand that the phrase "bear arms" at the time referred only to military service. Carrying your hunting rifle was not "bearing arms", and there are multiple court cases from that era affirming this understanding.

Now back to militias. It varied by state and time period. The brief goes into some detail. But for existence at the time of the Revolution Virginia had a state regulated militia. Pennsylvania couldn't by its Constitution, but many local areas had their own militias. (For example towns would to defend against Indian attacks.)

But in all cases, militias were set up so that the general citizenry would serve as an army in time of crisis for defense of the state or themselves. And this idea had a long history behind it.
One megabyte or ten isn't enough to bother with mapping, and on Arduino you don't typically have memory mapping hardware anyway. "Big" means gigabytes these days, sometimes hundreds of them.
This is an oversimplified view. One could say the same thing about eg free services from Google or Facebook.

It doesn't prevent us from saying "operating in this way is bad/destructive", even if one chooses not to use the code or service.
Reviewing the frontend code, a couple of things stand out.

1) The HTML/CSS code isn't minified.

2) The PNG images can be compressed further (lossless) for extra savings.

3) CSS classes/ids could be further shortened in post-processing.

My wife and I moved here to California (my home state) mid-2018 from Michigan (her home state). We moved out here for a startup, but shortly after relocating the founder ran out of money and could no longer pay me. This was a huge shock because on the surface everything was fine and dandy. Got totally bamboozled.

I still remember walking into our co-working spot to pick up some mail and was told that I should leave the premisis becuase our bills were way past due and I could not have access to our mail. I was like uhh wow holy shit, he isn't paying you either. That was a surreal moment.

After the move and the shit show of the startup, our savings had basically evaporated. I had to get to work ASAP. I am very fortunate to have a support group of friends and family and was able to land a gig working on a Rails-based ecommerce site for a furniture company.

Fast forward to now and I am still a freelance consultant with usually 3-4 clients or projects happening simultaneously. I have done pretty well for myself, but the last year was one of the most stressful and chaotic years of my life. I am seriously struggling with my mental health.

Throughout the entire time we've been able to save a little more money, but all-in-all we are pissing away a tremendous amount of cash every month on our rent and other expenses that are a little higher here in CA. Moving here to Orange County was predicated on the killer salary from the new gig.

The current plan is to head back to Michigan. My wife's family is all there, so as far as a state to flee to it makes the most sense. Our rent will cut in half for what will be a far bigger property with a lot more breathing room. An idea we are tossing around is buying land and building our own home from scratch, which is something we could never even imagine doing here in California.

I think that I have a tougher time appreciating all the wonderful things our state has to offer. Having grown up here I just see all the traffic and density and lack of breathing room and want to head for the hills. It makes the higher living cost tougher to swallow. Plus, knowing we'll really never be able to afford the kind of property and home that we know we can have over in Michigan, it makes sense to get out of here without planting deep roots again.
Fair enough. My apologies.
>"past" points outwards.

I don't think that grasps space-time as one thing and why black holes are so mental. The event horizon is where the past no longer points outwards, that path is broken. There's no direction in space or time with which to point your space engine to escape. No time you could travel to were that is restored.
It's actually exceedingly difficult. The family registry, koseki, is steeped in a thousand years of tradition. You can't simply walk into the nearest city ward office and fill out a form.

There are also restrictions on the kinds of names you are allowed to choose, if for example you are naturalizing. The list of allowed names clearly distinguishes you and your family from "true" Japanese.
Can someone explain something to me? I hear a lot about Japan's extreme work culture; I've even heard of a workplace where your contributions were scored -- but only negative (penalty) scores existed.

How can this come out of the same country as the Toyota production system, the popularization of quality control, and the intense study of Deming?
I suspect that this distribution of labor is not due to intrinsic differences, but came with the invention of agriculture, and what we are dealing with now is just that we are used to these structures. Hunter gatherers did something else, and now that we are not all subsistence farmers we can do something else again.
Running a home is boring and not as valuable as learning a STEM degree and helping out society move forward. We can easily imagine a distopia where everyone works and no one has a proper home, but we surely cannot do the opposite which is imagine a world where everybody has a nice home but no one knows how to build anything and there is no electricity or water pipes. STEM is hard and requires sacrifice to get to a point where you are taking on the responsibilities of civilization, and for women that equivalent is simply having a child.
> A woman who gets pregnant at 25 is less likely to have issues than a woman who gets pregnant at 35 and much less likely to have issues than a woman who gets pregnant at 45.

You are equating to "issues" to mean "no healthy children"

> The fact that some women have successful pregnancies at 45 doesn't change it

Is a straw man.

Plenty of women have successful pregnancies at 35. And 25 year old women debating that choice should hear from them.

Said differently:

Can you wait too long to have children? Yes.
Is 35 too long? No.
To your first comment, I hadn't intended there to use 'implies' to mean logical implication. There's room in the vernacular 'implies' for "or maybe not."

Though I think that we can trot out logical implication in response to your second comment: Considering taking actix-web as a dependency logically implies that you have chosen to write your program in Rust. Or, at least, the only language I'm aware of being able to import Rust modules is Rust.
>> It turns out, that number is very low, so low that most people aren't rationally taking those jobs. Factoring in depreciation, I often hear that they loose money to work (not always, but damn close).

> This is simply hard to believe. There are over a million driving for Uber. An overwhelming majority of them must be making money, because the idea that any significant fraction of a million of people is in the red at the end of a year simply is ludictious.

I think the error you're making is the assumption that everyone in the market is a rational actor with good information and understanding, so that evidence of particular market behavior is evidence that it's rational and beneficial to the person doing it.

It's very believable to imagine gig economy jobs where the workers typically lose money doing them, but it takes them a a long time to figure that out, because the pay is obvious but much of the expense is obscured. Fresh, naive marks take over for those workers who get wise and drop out, maintaining the population of workers. The combination of corporate marketing and desperate hope then help maintain a supply of fresh, naive marks.
You're making assumptions about the op's situation. Their description could easily match one of my first summer jobs - also at a bank.

On a typical day I would walk in around 9:30, ask my supervisor if there is anything to do, usually the answer was no, back to my desk and sit around, leave around 3:30.

Computers were completely locked down, I did not even have Internet access. And yes, it was completely miserable. I read a lot of e-books that summer.
I don't want to dig through hundreds of comments again --- but as someone who worked on Firefox for 15 years and knows a bunch of Chrome people, I believe those estimates.
Biology is one of the lower paid STEM disciplines, and the toughest to break into professorships. Most biology majors are just premed anyways.
It's arguably the most famous Quine of all, so famous that it has a pompous name! It's called the Omega combinator in lambda calculus, and is a stepping stone to the more famous Y combinator. If you think it's cool, the Y combinator will blow your mind :)
I think the only time a system can be truly be said to understand something is when its answers are derived from logic (such as old school symbolic AI). No matter how good current statistical approaches get, they won't meet that bar.

However, I do believe we see evidence of approximate logical reasoning in these models, as well as the concept of abstraction.

Furthermore we can take statements generated with statistical techniques and validate them mechanically with older techniques. This is basically what recent work in automated theorem proving using deep learning is about.

Generating logical statements using heuristics and then validating them mechanically also sounds like a reasonable approximation of what a human often does, speaking as a human.

That's some weak reporting. It says it's easy to setup shell corps with a registered agent. That's true for most states and is perfectly legal.

They should have discussed how WY makes it easier than most states to avoid being directly connected in any documentation of the shell corp. This makes it harder to track down the real owners in cases when they're being used illegally or sought for litigation.
You can merge your commits into a separate branch and designate it as the "default" branch for your repository.
While I agree your core is critical to your back, a pushup or plank also strengthens your hip flexor muscles. A couple of those (e.g. psoas) attach to your lumbar spine, so strengthening them makes them shorten and pull harder on the lumbar spine, increasing your pain. For low back pain, it is the wrong exercise.

For my low back pain, I stretch the hip flexors to relieve their pressure on the lumbar spine. I strengthen my abs with side planks to stabilize my core without engaging the hip flexors. Finally, I strengthen my glutes.

Every situation is different, and not all back pain should be treated with a pushup, so you have to understand body mechanics so you're working on stretching or strengthening the right parts for you. Going to a Physical Therapist is very helpful, then progressing to some appropriate strength training.
key word being modern. it's easy, with today's tools, to build a plane that flies and carries passengers. it's very hard to continue pushing the bleeding-edge of fuel and cost-efficiencies.
At least one factor is one of the lowest property tax rates in the country. When you have no mortgage, housing prices don't drive your monthly burn rate as much as property taxes. It changes the picture completely on what you look at when choosing where to go.
that contract is precisely spelled in the license file, idk what you all are on about.
The final time I ordered from DoorDash, the driver ignored directions (which no one else had ever had issues with), didn't tell me there was something wrong with the directions I had sent him 10 minutes in until over half an hour after leaving the restaurant (my apartment is a 7 minute drive in normal traffic), and I had to call him to get him to tell me that much. He refused to listen to the directions, and when the address that I live at didn't work for him, demanded a different address. DoorDash support then demanded the same, but I told them I was not allowing an obviously irate man to come to my apartment. It took me 20 minutes to get them to assign a new driver so I could give my address.

I am never dealing with them again.
Is this not also maybe some weirdness with ANC? I have a solid pair of active noise cancelling cans (they're a hybrid in-ear/over the head setup) and they they're definitely inconsistent in what they filter out.

At home I could whistle and click my fingers and it would all be filtered, I was completely separated from body and mind as far as hearing went. As soon as I got on the tube, things started leaking through.

(I don't want to advertise, I just bought these cans on a trial/subscription basis, so I could feel them out for a month or so in the wild with minimal risk.)
If 1 Billion was spent in 2011 to support and encourage minorities and women in STEM, it really suggests that some of that money should be poured into providing childcare rather than propaganda.

Law and medicine are traditionally seen as high status and may retain women longer, but certainly, suffer the same issue; women over 30 drop off dramatically in law as they leave to become parents.
A perspective from for whom no cable is life changing.

I have very sensitive ears and I always found the cable getting caught on something, even a minimal one just behind the head, pulling down on my ears which is a very unpleasant experience for me.

I can listen to an audiobook as I’m falling asleep with just one earbud in and no cables in my face. Being able to use just one at a time without having to tuck a cable into my shirt or down my collar which always comes out is fantastic in general.

I’m very active and being able to have two little pieces of plastic that I can tuck into a case with no cable in my pocket is very nice when my headphones go in and out of my pocket all day. Even the minimal wire on wire conneted bluetooth buds means careful wrap and store or risk cable strain from tangling in my pocket w/ my wallet keys phone etc.

I personally find connected wireless headphones to be the worst of all worlds, you still have most of the problems that come with a cable wrapped around your head brings and with all the downsides of wireless.
The irony of complaining about aesthetics as mentally ill people run around shouting at pedestrians and pooping on the sidewalk in mid day...
Sometimes I think we're in some weird version of a neo-Dark-Age where the ways to do everything amazing that we figured out how to do start to atrophy along the same path as those things being taken for granted. Because they're no longer considered amazing, so they're reprioritized as such, and we forget how hard they actually are to do as well as they need to be done.

We sort of seem to end up with a built-in assumption that absolutely everything can be commoditized just because we're used to having it around, not because it is actually able to be commoditized effectively.
Re: "The conservatives"

If by conservative you mean something akin to capitalistic, and unabashedly out to make money, from the housewife to the CEO, then yes.

If you mean something else, then it really isn't that cut and dry.

Everyone (a very large majority) is from somewhere else, and most came to Houston not because it was some kind of Shangri-La, but because of the opportunities.

Plus, for what it's worth, Houston is one of, if not the, most ethnically diverse city in the US. (Google it so I don't have to provide biased sources.)
Not a business yet, but I independently had the idea for maglevs/trains in evacuated vacuum tubes about 10 years before Musk brought it back to the popular consciousness.
I'm not sure if this will change your mind, but in the Rust world, there's a concept of "unsafe" code that can lead to vulnerabilities.

The difference here is that a code consumer can check a Rust project for unsafe code, whereas a food consumer cannot check for unsafe contaminants.
> Forgive me for I live in a bubble so I don't know a great about why someone would spend that many years in school to land a 77k job. I also don't know much about compensation structure (ex: is comp == salary or are there other components?)

comp pretty much == salary (plus benefits, like insurance, 4% 401k match, maybe small bonuses). My take is that the low salaries is primarily due to the appeal of the work - kids grow up wanting to be biologists, (chemists, physicists) so there is a labor oversupply. A strong secondary contributor is overhead - a scientist can easily cost 2x salary in overhead for equipment and reagents (very field dependent).

To your point it is possible make decent money in big pharma, but they are essentially the FAANG of the bio/chemistry world and still come with 7y postgrad prereqs.
> This sort of behavior should not be acceptable from any open source maintainer that runs such a large, foundational part of the ecosystem.

And the better solution wouldn't be to harass the guy, but to recommend and try to move the ecosystem away from actix.

I wasn't aware greencards were something managers could hand out.
This can be done using overlayfs, but it kind of defeats the purpose since you now need a storage device
Someone should make a "List of repeating ideas that come up on Hacker News with every new HN Generation" post.

It would also be interesting to know how often a "New HN Generation" came in to being.
I'm not referencing the different learning styles ("auditory", "visual", "kinesthetic", etc.). I'm saying different people have different strengths and weaknesses and that effects how you learn.

> good teaching strategies should work for the vast majority of children

In my experience, good teaching strategies usually includes teaching the same thing in a variety of different ways, so that hopefully at least one of the ways is effective for each student.
I don't fully understand Rust, either, so we're even!

Don't worry about the haters. If I paid attention to them I never would have accomplished anything. People are always going to misuse a tool.

Noise cancelling cans can kinda do that already... but they usually only have on/off for 'conversation mode' (ie, when someone is trying to speak to you)
Yes yes. But these things aren't mutually exclusive. Every extra dime of profit you willingly give Amazon is another they have to lobby and fight against government regulation. We can fight these battles on two fronts: stop voluntarily giving Amazon your money, and demand action from your elected representatives.
The RT article said that "Nearly half the couples had not had sex in a month". That happens because they prefer to do something else instead.

Will you grant that this means that interest in sex has fallen?

The Politifact article says "In 2013 a whopping 45 percent of women aged 16 to 24 ‘were not interested in or despised sexual contact,’ and more than a quarter of men felt the same way."

Which matches my claim:

> Nearly half of young women in Japan are "uninterested in sex" or "averse to sex"

My claim was that disgust with sex is rising.

Another article makes these delightful claims:

https://time.com/5297145/is-sex-dead/

- More than 40% of Japanese 18- to 34-year-old singles claim they are virgins.
- the fraction of people getting it on at least once a week fell from 45% in 2000 to 36% in 2016.
- more than twice as many millennials were sexually inactive in their early 20s than the prior generation was.
- In 2016, 4% fewer condoms were sold than the year before, and they fell a further 3% in 2017.
- Teen sex is flat and has been on a downward trend since 1985
- The median age for first marriage in America is now 29 for men and 27 for women, up from 27 and 25 in 1999.
- the highest drop in sexual frequency has been among married people with higher levels of education
- those with offspring in the 6 to 17 age range were doing less of what made them parents

What do you make of these data points? I think they successfully demonstrate that interest in sex is falling.
Yes AWS certs are so dumb, it is a certification of how to use the UI of a website which will change in several months.
The sparse-checkout patterns match at the file level, so you can always use that (without “cone mode”) if you want. It becomes difficult to match an exact file list as people add files to projects: you require every other user to update their patterns to match the newly-added file.
4.5 stars with +1000 reviews for a brand that has only existed for a year.
Your app has literally just given me plans for the evening. Awesome stuff!
Name 3 things in your entire life that were fake. Theres likely a bunch of 200 packages a year people in this thread. What could you be buying that lacks sufficient reviews and is of such opaqueness and simultaneously over a nominal amount?

Not an Amazon apologist but it seems a bit ridiculous. How do they get paid? The customer first mantra is nice but do they not prefer a higher price too?
As someone who has worked at a financial in a rural area, I can assure you these people are still going to need tellers. I mean can you imagine explaining daily why someone gets charged an NSF fee or telling them that their check is a fraudulent check (sent by a scammer)? Also these people hate technology more than communists. So trying to sell them online banking is like telling them to become atheist socialists ready to fight for the revolution.
It's always seemed dubious to me that people try to make probabilistic statements about an event that we only have one sample of, and whose causes we can only speculate about
Personally, I prefer Rap :)
I suspect given an economic choice, many men would prefer not to work full time either.

For some reason men don't get asked whether or not this is true. It's simply assumed that men will dedicate their lives to work because it's the only way to pay for a family.
Sorry, but nope.

As I said, the price you paid for your seat may and often will vary from that paid by the person next to you by factors including purchase time, seat "quality" (which includes location), extra features such as legroom & recline, spikes in demand, etc.
People are usually flexible enough to switch directions. I wonder how many of those laid off employees would have been happy to do so given the chance?
Not that easy, over half of online shopping is done at AMZN. It's where most people go first when buying something online. I believe, for most, if you do not sell on Amazon, you do not survive...

esp if you're selling cell phone / electronic accessories. Those margins have to be super thin.
