It recognized a constitutional right that women have a right to an abortion. That is easily supported by both amendments IX and X to the constitution, which are the "catch all" clauses.

> Amendment IX

> The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

> Amendment X

> The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

What the court did is lift abortion above states by recognizing it is a constitutional right. States cannot infringe constitutional rights; that's kind of the whole point of having a constitution, so "sending it states" isn't an option.

If this decision goes through, it completely wrecks all precedent; the Supreme Court can just revoke constitutional rights by changing its mind, unless, presumably, that right is enumerated in the Constitution. But the above amendments were written exactly for that.
> Is there any government in the world that's currently able to enforce such laws?

People talk about crypto like offshore bank accounts and cash never existed.

How does the revolutionary leader of a Sub-Saharan country who suspects the deposed leader has funds in an offshore bank account in a jurisdiction that doesn't even recognize the incoming regime get the money? Violence.

In hyper-legalistic societies like the U.S., yes, the police may sometimes have trouble finding proof that survives court scrutiny. (Though I'd guess most people aren't practicing good opsec around their crypto.) But that isn't most of the world. I don't see the Indian police having any trouble arresting and searching someone on reasonable suspicion of operating a hidden wallet.

I dont know where you got the idea that I'm pretending there's not trade offs, that's exactly my point.

> Digital A/V communication tools also bring with them a whole host of other sources of friction, including poor audio and video, latency issues, and so forth.

And those still existed in the office. if I had a nickel for every time someone senior dialled into a call from their car with a kid in the back of it,I could buy a latte. Meanwhile, zoom and meet both have tools to help alleviate those concerns (raising hands, and queues of such).

> They are, at best a weak by tolerable substitute for face-to-face conversations, and quite frankly, IMO anyone who tries to suggest otherwise is not being honest.

Again, it's tradeoffs. The tradeoffs are appropriate for work conversations, but maybe not for having a deep relationship question with my partner.

> And conversely, people who type slower or struggle with written communication for various reasons, are significantly disadvantaged.

I mean, yes? Written communication is pretty much a hard requirement for most office jobs, and anyone who struggles with it will struggle with email and mant other forms of communication.

> written communication lacks critical nuance

Hard disagree here. Good written communication skills can be as nuanced as verbal communication. Besides, nuance is by definition ambiguity. Communicating in a workplace by refusing to say things is a crutch, and is a recipe for disaster.
> These individuals’ presence in Dubai’s real estate market registries highlights the danger that the emirate’s loose residency requirements and «few questions asked» approach to regulation enables questionable figures to use it as a home away from home, a place to launder their illicit gains through real estate, or simply to store their wealth.

I don't consider that controversial.

> or simply to store their wealth.

Especially this. "oOoOOoOooo soo scaary"

I think the choice of words here will be seen as laughable and antiquated in the future. UAE/Dubai is on the front of this trend and it will pay off very well for them as they accelerate their diversification away from a fossil fuel economy.

Other countries will simply have to find another way to get the behaviors they desire. Fingers crossed about the nukes staying siloed. But territories will shift, and that's not UAE or Dubai's problem, and when it becomes their problem, it won't be somewhere else's problem.

He's either only walking in exceptionally safe areas, he's very large, or I have a particularly punchable face. I biked every road in St. Louis a few years ago, which required biking every street in some high-crime neighborhoods. I was frequently made to feel uncomfortable. I was never attacked or anything like that, but multiple times it was made clear to me that I was where I didn't belong. And I was on a bike and could quickly ride away. I think I would have had a lot more trouble on foot.

I remember being in a bar once and some guy started trouble with me for no reason and my buddy, who is 6'3'' and 250 pounds did not believe that detail, because "nobody would start trouble with you for no reason." To paraphrase Don Draper, "no, nobody would start trouble with you for no reason."

Yep. It's stifling fore sure. Even the guy who discovered DNA (Watson?) got some awards retracted because of saying that. You definately can't trust any research showing that behavior is not heritable or that there are no cognitive differences between races.

One study even found clear differences between races but then wrote a conclusion saying the opposite! They justified that by discovering another variable they'd forgotten to control for that they guessed might have been responsible for the difference instead of race.
FOSSA | Software Engineers (Mid, Sr., Staff), PMs (Mid, Sr.) | USA, Canada, Remote (able to work ~US time zone hours)| Full-Time

FOSSA builds developer tools to help engineering teams manage their open source. We help enterprise customers discover legal (licensing and copyright) and security (vulnerabilities) risks in their dependencies, provide tooling for them to catch these issues in CI, and automate the tedium around policy enforcement and report generation. As companies adopt more open source, their engineering teams get bogged down by more distractions around compliance and security. We help automate away those distractions.

We build an open-source CLI tool (https://github.com/fossas/fossa-cli) that integrates with compilers and build systems to extract dependency and build information; a backend distributed system for analyzing dependency metadata; and a web application with a policy, reporting, and enforcement engine.

I've gained an appreciation for walking through very roundabout means.

For the longest time I found walking even short distances insufferably slow and boring. I ride my bike--a lot. The distances and durations I cover have grown each year to the point that centuries (metric or imperial) are a regular weekend event. Boredom is always an issue when you're out for 5+ hours, but you'd be surprised at how much your sense of time can change if you normalize riding long distances. Interestingly, my mind's time-condensation for cycling never translated to walking.

This year I branched out into winter ultra fat biking, which, as it turns out, can involve a significant amount of walking. In bad snow conditions one can end up pushing a heavy bike for hours at a time. The two races I did this winter had their respective all time worst course conditions. So, I did a lot of walking.

This spring I've found myself opting walk to the gym and office, leaving the bike at home. My mind doesn't count the minutes the way it used to. I actually have no sense of how long it takes me to get to these places. I suspect the exaggerated stimulus of pushing a bike for hours through snow drifts has adapted my perception of everyday walking. I would hypothesize that the author's 20-mile weekend walks makes their long daily walks more doable. If you want to enjoy short regular walks, perhaps it would help to go out for a very long and hard walk from time to time.
> Turn your phone off if you don't want your provider and apps to know where you are going.

Not to put words in their mouth but I think Kergonath's point is-

* Turn your phone off if you don't want your provider to know where you are going.

* Turn off your location services (and likely use a vpn, etc) if you don't want apps to know where you are going.

Yes apps _can_ still figure this out if they're trying that hard. I don't think this is in most people's threat model. If we want to go down that road then I'll point out there's ALPR's that track cars, and people who track bluetooth mac addresses your car likely has. Keeping your phone off until necessary is not realistic for most people. What you're suggesting is the equivalent of saying they should wait until morning to go through the alley.

Well you see, because of a vague statement buried deep within a EULA, obfuscated with legal jargon, those people aren't being "spied on" - they are "knowingly and voluntarily sharing their data". And since more and more commercial activity is gated behind agreeing to one-sided, impenetrable legal tomes, what used to be felonies are now just a cost of living in modern society.

> One step further, is learning different chord fingerings

By the way, pianists use the term "fingerings" for which finger is placed on which key. For example your C-E-G chord which you wrote with 1-3-5, the standard way of playing this as a beginner is the 1-3-5 fingers (1 being the thumb etc). More advanced players often play it with the 1-2-4 fingers. That lets you quickly change to the C-F-A chord with 1-3-5 fingering, which is essentially the F-A-C chord. By moving the hand one key to the right, you get D-G-B with 1-3-5 fingering, and voila, you got your first chord progression:

C-E-G (1-2-4 fingering)
C-F-A (1-3-5 fingering)
D-G-B (1-3-5 fingering)
C-E-G (1-2-4 fingering)

Etc etc.

Not specifically picking on you (thanks for replying) but may I
rephrase that a little and then ask something;

"Sinners look just like saints, so it's necessary to punish all, to
destroy the riches of the many in order that wicked few do not
escape."

Is that a fair framing of the "ethics" of what you said? (I'm not
attributing that as 'your' argument, I understand you're kinda just
trying to 'explain' something as you see it).

Do you think this kind of thinking can continue to stand if technology
is ever going to be fair and useful to everyone? Or do we just accept
that technology always amplifies as least as many problems and
injustices as it solves?
I agree. I wrote a rant and deleted it, because I don't want to post inflammatory content here.

But I'll say that I had social anxiety, and that sometimes it can be overcome (certainly not always). But it will never be overcome without stress, often painful stress; and the cruel harsh world is actually a very good training ground to force you to improve. I'm glad my shortcomings weren't coddled; I'm glad they were viewed as something I'd have to either fix or cope with.

There are degrees of anxiety and other mental/emotional problems. Many are not going to be fixed, some require medication, some are just too severe. But it's a gradient, and some can get better with exposure, and removing that exposure can be detrimental (even though that exposure is unpleasant).
To be real honest, without doing any research, I already assumed working for NOA would be miserable.
SQLite – Making Other Kinds of Table Schema Changes
My bike commute to work used to be this time for me, though it was pretty short by the clock (25mins each way), and obviously was lost with the pandemic/WFH. In the last few months I've reclaimed that space somewhat with recreational evening walks, and that's been really great— sometimes with a friend, often on my own, usually in silence. Currently these are around 40-60mins, but your post is for sure inspiring me to step that up.

I'm a fan of the small backpack when I'm out with my kids, particularly for a water bottle, tubs of snacks, a place to put that pinecone they found, etc. But just me? A wallet and phone in my pants pockets is more than enough.
I got a 95, though I generally think I'm good at synthesizing concepts and applying them.

I do tend to be a little slow and distracted. But, I'd be surprised if I am actually slightly below average.

That being said, if the result is accurate, I think this would be good news for the world. People around me say I'm smart because I like math and programming, little do they know they are, statistically speaking, likely to be smarter than me.

If only they knew, maybe they would feel more empowered to learn harder concepts! You don't need a high IQ to geek out to functional programming.
I don't think we humans need better excuses. Believing honor is everything and that your honor requires someone else's dishonor is all it takes. Here's Shakespeare's holding forth on the topic in Othello:

> Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.

This is why the Hatfields fought the McCoys. This is largely why Putin's troops are raping, murdering, and pillaging in Ukraine. It's how you demonstrate who has lost honor and who has gained it. It's why "owning" your rhetorical opponent is so vicious, why revenge porn exists. People in thrall to this version of honor feel they must utterly destroy their enemy to restore their honor.

To those of use who haven't recently been slighted this looks like the opposite of honor, but it seems less insane after an insult.
Good point. You’re absolutely right.

Yep, definitely. I believe the test is calibrated such that if you get all of the questions right in less than 25 minutes, and without guessing, you're off the charts of this test. That is, you're supposed to use all the time you got, and still score quite high even if you have to guess the last couple of questions. (I got 133, guessing the last three and may have got a couple others wrong.)

> in the top 2 percent of the general population on any one of more than 200 accepted

> An estimated six million Americans are eligible for membership.

That's not how it works. 6 million Americans is about 2%. It means that in order to have such a filter, you only have one chance on a single test. Not, "1 of more than 200 at any point in your life"

Out of 200 tests, even among those of the highest standards, you are bound to find one where you are particularly good at, and then you can try again several times, because you are unlikely to be at the exact same position every time. Furthermore, the "general population" includes people who are not in their best shape and yet, "any point in your life" tests your peak performance. And there is training of course.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 10% in reality. By that I mean "pick a random person and give him a huge incentive (ex. millions of dollars) to pass". If we restrict to people who really want to join without further incentive, it may be way higher.
Speaking as a manager, a lot of managers seems to resort to the "managers are people too" truism whenever they're called out on managerial misbehavior. I think a lot of people in the occupation can't own up to abuses of our power so our gut reaction is to handwave away the very idea of power.

"We're all on the same level, so you can't hold us to a higher standard" is a silly but common way to confuse this sort of ethical problem.
I occasionally link to my blog articles when I am trying to make a point. It is often better to reference my well-thought-out and composed arguments rather than typing them out again on-demand with less thought.

That's potentially a good starting point for a sci-fi setting.

That's unlikely to have any resemblance to how brains work though. For one, we would be lacking the mechanism to do such a 'retrieval'. We can also influence memory formation.

Say you binge drink. You are temporarily unable to form memories. We can pinpoint the exact area affected. Unless alcohol is somehow able to influence the micro-wormholes, it shouldn't affect memories at all.
