It's hardly possible with one, creating a an amendment that is somehow immune to further amendment for 20 years and constrains state's abilities to change their laws would be unlike any other amendment ever passed.

I still love the idea a little bit, federal abortion and gun laws have moved only incrementally in the last 20 years and yet they've prevented coalitions surrounding so many other pressing issues from forming.

In ancient Athens they used to try to make laws like that. They would create a penalty for bringing up certain ideas like melting down golden statues in their temples for money or proposing ideas that disasterously failed in the past. These laws had a tendency to be broken though.
cool project! thanks for sharing it. i like the clock format.
Or perhaps they are directed into a black market?
What if they just find new wedge issues? eg. gendered bathrooms
Yes, it's very frustrating.

Just because I'm anti-abortion, people automatically believe I'm "pro-life". I'm far from pro-life. For example, I believe in capital punishment, specially for abortionists.

Many people absolutely do believe that abortion is state-sanctioned murder and in fact there have been terror attacks against providers [1]. The ones that aren’t carrying out terrorism like this still believe that clinics and doctors are complicit in murder, they’re just smart enough to know that reacting with violence would not work to their benefit and/or just aren’t unhinged enough to do it.

> Nobody believes abortion is literal murder. They might say they do, but if there were buildings where actual literal murder were happening it wouldn't be long before people would destroy those places

The number of clinic bombings and assassinations of abortion providers in the US particularly given how few there are in slem areas demonstrates that enough people believe it to feel compelled to act.
It’s not that hard to survive having thoughts of your own, you just have to surround yourself with people that think for themselves and are ok with differences of opinion. More succinctly, separate out intolerant followers from your life.

Ok it’s not that easy.
That's the frustrating thing. The NSA actually used to be good, and generally useful towards securing our digital borders. SELinux, for example, was a contribution to the linux kernel that is generally highly regarded and well vetted, and it was freely given to us plebs that don't have nuclear arsenals to secure.

But now, everything is different. They've been telling us to use flawed crypto algorithms simply because they know how to break them and they can have access to whatever they want. With our current-day NSA, our least risky choice is to consider the NSA an adversary, just like North Korea, Russia, or China. Nothing they say should be taken at face value.

Pretty shitty that we have to treat our own government security agencies like that.
Even still, the initial Cabal was three engineers, a writer, an animator and a designer, so you can assume that the broader team was at least that much again. That's 12 people full-time working for 2-3 years (and the actual credits go up to 30, so it's probably even more). At $75k per FTE (in 1996 salaries), that's at least $3 million, which is quite a lot, even for two people wealthy from MSFT stock options.
I used to have problems with "Hi, how are you?" too.

I found that it can be useful to consider "Hi, how are you?" as a friendly game of catch. At the basic level you can reply "'Sall right, how _you_ doin'?" You've caught the ball and tossed it back. Even if you are walking in different directions down the hall this will work... or even looking up and saying "hey" is acknowledging the ball in the air. In an "office" this probably would work fine, but I have always been either self-employed or worked in small businesses. So I don't know if this would work on the 24th floor.

In day to day life... I imagine the person at the check out counter has a repetitive job that can be quite dreary if all they are doing is punching buttons all day without any engagement... asking the same questions: "Did you find everything?" "Do you have any coupons?" "How are you doing today?" So when I can I try to catch the ball, paint it a different color and toss it back. It's a two part process
How are you doing?
#1 catch the ball:
"I made it this far, I'm gonna keep going."
#2 toss it back:
"How are you keeping up?"

You can have dozens of responses for for each part... mix & match... Silliness can get you bonus points. It's just a game. You will discover ways in which a few words can make it so that you're having a bit more fun, the checkout person (or server, or phone support person, or...) can also get a few giggles while grinding through their, perhaps miserable, job... hey, everybody wins.

Another API improvement case I neglected is just to make hooks HOCs and use existing patterns. They can easily wrap props and return a component with roughly the same API for instantiation.
> if you hold these views and profess to be a Catholic, you are in fact a heretic and can be excommunicated

No, you can't, and nothing at your link supports your claim. Support for legal abortion (or the non-criminalization of anything; criminalization is not symmetric and there are cases where this wouldn't be the case for supporting criminalization of an act) is, where not obligatory, inherently a prudential judgement as criminalization always inflicts harm intentionally.

Moral support for abortion would be dissent from authoritative teaching, which is of a more serious (both doctrinally and in canon law) character, but that's an intensely different thing.
What groups have changed position? I don't follow such things that closely but I haven't noticed a change.

Well, the Nazi concentration camps were guarded by lots of soldiers with many guns, so that's one thing. My understanding also is that people had largely changed their opinions on whether killing Jews was actual murder by the time Hitler got around to setting up his final solution. For example, there was never a point, during Hitler's reign, where a political opposition strongly opposed to killing Jews controlled all branches of the government. (This did happen with the Republicans in 2016, and they did not stop abortion at that time, though it was within their power to do so.)

I would also just note that there are policies that have been clearly demonstrated to reduce the number of abortions, but they require a small amount of spending. I struggle to believe that someone who believes abortion is literal murder would shrink from providing e.g. free contraceptives, given the alternative. Yet Republicans tend to be opposed to these things, certainly at the legislative level. The behavior and voting patterns just don't support the claim, IMO.
Not necessarily. In fact, depending on how they're structured, they can be quite complimentary. Red team strategies thrive off of this sort of competitive environment.
So you agree that it took 4 years before the US entered the war in Europe. And yes I am probably wrong about the 23 million. It doesn’t change my conclusion though: the US spent 4 years on the side line selling weapons to Europe, and only joined the war after most of the German war machine was defeated.
I agree. Many political topics are very complex, and it is hard to independently form opinions on them. Humans rely on fallacious shortcuts all the time when making decisions, otherwise we’d be paralyzed. We would see people switching their views even without social pressures.
The vast majority of presidential communication took place before Twitter existed.

Every notable politician that I know of has a Twitter now, and uses it to some extent.

I truly wish DJT hadn't used twitter, like ever. But he did, and it was his main outlet, and then he was silenced on it. I personally don't think that's okay (while still supporting the idea that Twitter had the right to do that).

It's patently obvious to everyone that they're playing sides, when it's convenient. Not just enforcing their TOS or something.

Great comment. I think globalizations problems are those of accountability at scale. I think one constant of humanity is that hierarchies / cultures / institutions will grow. So in that sense I see globalization as inevitable, but we haven't solved accountability. If we want to go the liberal route, our institutions need to be accountable for the externalities. I think this is almost impossible without backsliding into (also potentially-apocalyptic) factionalism
Sideloading is a loaded word to make you think there is something suspicious and abnormal about installing a program on your own computer without asking for permission.
If you can't build it today, but someone can build it in five or ten years, the patent lets you hold them hostage because you guessed right (even though you didn't do any of the work).

That is not morally right. It also isn't the intent of patents, because it does absolutely nothing to further the progress of the useful arts and sciences.
Disclaimer that basically everything below is a personal opinion:

- MyPy is a great (fine, decent) library for typing, but even without it, the type hints in newer python versions and typing standard library are super powerful. Not “rust” levels of powerful but at least on par with typescript

- Django is still excellent and now supports async views via asgi. Outside of async, django+DRF+djoser are an excellent choice for a backend. If you really like typing and cool, smaller frameworks, Starlette and the derivative FastAPI frameworks are a lot of fun. Any of those options are great for a web app backend these days

- Gunicorn is still easier to configure. UWSGI is also still around. Both are well supported
- Django run server has gotten better about reloads, but it’s still not as good as node’s offerings

- asyncio has taken a bite out of celery (heh) but celery is still common and useful for deferred tasks

- I think dockerizing the app is the way to go these days. There’s just too many odd system dependencies and python compilation differences to deploy directly to an EC2 instance. Digital Ocean’s app platform or AWS Amplify (or EBS) make deploying a container image decently easy. And if youre willing to take the plunge into Kubernetes, I find it has many python-specific advantages (eg horizontal scaling to avoid pYtHOn DOesNt sCaLE” nonsense) at the cost of a tremendous learning curve. If you do end up going for a non-containerized deployment, infrastructure as code is big now, so both terraform and ansible might be your friends

- graphQL support is bad. I think Graphene (Django) is the best you’ll find. DRF being decent is one of the reasons I generally stick to REST if I can help it

- Asyncio has come a long way but still has issues with non-async codes (eg it’s hard to make a sync request or access a DB in an async block)

- Tornado was the initial async bad boy and is still around, but again FastAPI is doing some really cool stuff in async

- For data science, pandas is pretty universal but it plays very nicely with numpy. If you haven’t kept up with Tensorflow or PyTorch, you’ll be astounded by how far ML has come

> The image we have in our heads of a composer sitting at the piano and noodling almost certainly doesn't apply to a Beethoven or a Bach or a Schumann.

There's a mountain of evidence of Beethoven literally sitting at a piano and noodling. He started his career and was widely known as a professional piano noodler!

Furthermore, his early and mid-period music is dominated by the kinds of themes and figuration you'd expect from a professional piano noodler. Try singing op. 2 no. 1 piano sonata vs. fitting your hand to the keys.

It actually took Beethoven a long time and a lot of work to become proficient at writing things like lyrical melodies and non-clunky, non-pianistic counterpoint (and I'd argue he gave up on the latter and just figured out the best contexts for clunky counterpoint to be most effective).

Schumann also had some material in his symphonies that suspiciously fits the hands rather nicely on the piano. So it isn't so cut and dry as you make it out.

Bach was a bit different. At least for quite a stretch he was writing weekly cantatas where he'd do a performance on Sunday, then on Monday start writing the cantata for the next week. When you factor in the logistics of copying all the parts, practicing with the choir, etc., it doesn't leave much time for composing an entire service of music for small orchestra and choir.

And these are typically around 30 minutes of music, pieces full of sophisticated polyphony. Even if you memorized an entire cantata and time-traveled back to take his place I think you'd still be cutting it close just to copy it onto paper in the daylight you had available. And last I studied this, there was no evidence of a notepad or anything that he used to sketch out his ideas.

Anyhow, Bach and Mozart are the only composers I know of for whom the evidence suggests "transcribing from the head."

Edit: actually, even if the choir were one person to a part, Bach's cantatas are so full of fugal textures and virtuosic solos that it would still be challenging just to write everything down, copy the parts, and rehearse the music. I.e., it's not like writing 30 minutes of single-melody songs, scribbling some tab notation above it and letting the accompanists fill everything in accordingly.

In fact, I might be downplaying it. In addition to what most people think of as baroque polyphony, the cantatas also have a more-or-less simple "chorale tune" flowing either on top of that, or possibly in the organ pedals. And Bach wrote out the organ part that I believe he would have been playing himself.

So imagine a modern Church service with hymns and stuff, and paste that on top of what you think of as Bach's music to get a Bach cantata. :)
That already exists.

Maybe it’s more about authorities changing their opinions as a bloc, similar to how OPEC adjusts oil prices as a bloc? (The issue isn’t that any one oil company sets prices, but that companies form a cartel that colludes on a price at the cost of consumers)
Publishing nonsense is a good way to spread disinformation to your adversaries and waste their resources, likewise to “explain” things you want to keep secret which have vaguely similar properties.

But also in a large organization there will be pockets of incompetence which are more expensive to eradicate than they cost to leave be. If you’re making sure to do zero nonsense, you’re probably also preventing some unexpected quality progress.
Quaternion is a 4D complex number representing rotation in 3D space. It has the form of: w + xi + yj + zk, where w is the real scalar value and x, y, z are the values of the i, j, k imaginary axes.

Complex number is a natural fit for rotation because operations of unit complex numbers end up on the same complex unit circle/sphere. e.g. Multiplying two quaternions performs two rotations one after another.

Of course, there's the octonion complex number with 8 axes for representing rotation in 4D hyperspace.

> For obvious reasons, no such high wall can exist between people's politics and politics

I don't know if I buy it, because the purpose of the wall is to constrain people from being punished for their beliefs, which you could do just as well with politics. That isn't the same as having their beliefs questioned in a public debate -- which we already do with religion. Questioning isn't punishment. Getting fired is punishment.

> imagine if he SPLC couldn't fire a staffer who's an active Klansman

The strongest objection to a Klansman is that they commit acts of violence. But violence isn't protected speech. If they're committing acts of violence, fire them.

Whereas if your only objection is that they go home and give sermons against interracial marriage while wearing a stupid hat, isn't that kind of the point?

How is it any different than Planned Parenthood can't fire a Catholic for opposing abortion outside of work?
Users would start to ignore the warnings and proceed anyway, or even turn safe browsing off.
> How many users does Matrix have?

It's difficult to say, as the French government [0], German armed forces [1], and several thousand independent users/corporations/groups run their own servers. What we can determine is that matrix.org on its own has >10 million accounts [2] (search for "global visible accounts" in the link).

> Hosting an own server is not possible on a small root server you can get for 5 EUR/USD a month, it requires signifcant [sic] resources

A direct example of setting up Matrix is shown here [3], using a $20USD/month Digital Ocean droplet. It's a reasonable approximation, though inexact, as we don't know how many users this server will be supporting. This example is thrown further off, as it's the Matrix project lead setting up the server. He's likely in many rooms with high user counts and, as high user counts dramatically increase resource needs, likely needs more RAM and CPU than someone setting up a server for a group of friends.

I think it's gotten much easier to stand up a matrix-synapse server than when you last tried, and suspect you left with a bad taste after joining popular rooms that (due to how many users they have) lag much more than you'd typically experience. Perhaps I'm wrong and you did everything right just last week and still don't like it, but I'd encourage more people to see for themselves :)

Not there. Zoning laws there are very specific. Tiny houses aren't allowed. Used prefabricated houses aren't allowed either. And try getting permits or insurance for anything unusual. I like underground blown concrete egg-shaped chambers, but there are few place where they are allowed in incorporated areas. Traditional building codes and removing fuel next to structures work. Also, the area has rising property, income, and sales taxes beside high homeowners insurance, failing local businesses, and a lack of critical population mass (taxes) to support essential services. In addition, they need another major exit road that they cannot afford. Also, the area is scarred and ugly from aggressively clearcutting large trees and awful, cheap manufactured homes that reduce property values. Many people left permanently as well rather than risk it again or go through the hassle of rebuilding. It's unsustainable.

Furthermore, she had to sell because my now ex-stepfather walked out on her suddenly because of her unexpected disability life event and forced them to sell. He's rich now after inheriting from his family and she gets a pittance less than Social Security when they planned to combine households and retire together permanently. Plus, there's nothing left around but a drug rehab halfway house, disgruntled, reclusive Trump supporters with guns, and some agro neighbors with psychosis. The odds of being robbed or violently attacked are pretty high, and there's black bear.
XMPP is still alive and kicking. There are multiple server implementations, and multiple clients. Many of the clients support e2e as well (OMEMO).
> It's a huge part of what the Republican party has struggled with

It is, but it's not just them. Mainstream Democrats are more center than the Party. "Defund the Police" did not play well with many centrist Dems.
>Take for example the anti-war stance. As far as I know Trump is the only one continually advocating for a troop withdrawal in the Middle East.

Not to be pedantic but you're conflating two issues: being anti-war and being pro-troop presence. One of the big reasons the US has kept a troop presence in the middle east is to deal with the human cost of the instability that was created in the 2000s by those wars of choice.

I can't speak for all progressives but those that I know have both anti-war views (stop shit-stirring with Iran) and pro-troop presence (try to stabilize the region before withdrawal). I will admit that both have been going very poorly lately.
It was not within Republicans’ power to stop abortion so long as Roe v. Wade is on the books. And a significant fraction of Republicans don’t oppose abortion (just as a significant fraction of Democrats do).

I agree with you overall, but diskprices is far from perfect UI. The layout of the information and how it is accessed is useful. But other design elements, such as color, would make it better.

One of the best designed products I've ever used is the TiVo DVR. We first got one in 1999, the year it came out. I loved it, but realized how well it was designed when I started using other DVRs in the mid 2000s. As a prime example, to delete an episode on a TiVo required pressing one button. On another DVR I had it was six button presses! It was like this for countless things. It was obvious the folks at TiVo had thought long and hard about usability and design and other manufacturers couldn't care less.

Now imagine if TiVo made their remote a rectangular cuboid with hard edges, and all the buttons were hard plastic squares that were all the same color. It would still be much easier for me to delete an episode on the TiVo than on other DVRs, but holding and using the remote would not be a positive experience. Putting some work into the remote so it fits in your hands, the buttons are nice to press, and color and shape of buttons helps you find the button you want would make it so much better (thankfully they did).

Diskprices is similar to the hypothetical TiVo with a crappy remote. Someone worked hard on some aspects of design and usability, but out of either ignorance or arrogance ignored the rest of the aspects.
