Sweden is lucky that Erdogan is in power and he'll bend and do a 180 in a month max. If anyone else was in that position, this would never happen. This topic is probably the only thing that has this much mainstream support since Erdogan came to power.
Dynamic and somewhat loose language doesn't preclude not having at very least JIT support out of the box, even BASIC was better in that regard.

It looks to me like the goal is to make replacement guts for old, used thinkpads you buy on ebay. That is actually a workable plan.

This was already done successfully in another project; though on that one, it seemed like one would need to read Chinese to be successful with it.
Tadpole was a different company, making SPARC portables.
I didn't mean generation in terms of age. Maybe "current cohort" would have been better phrasing.

Many people will have already decided before they are 26 that they aren't cut out for leadership because they don't fit the prevailing idea of what a leader is/does.

Of course you can, the law doesn't have to be simple, carve outs are perfectly okay, if that is what the people (seem to) want.

That said there is the very simple argument that selling your kidney should be allowed. And if we are worried about someone exploiting others by forcing them to sell their kidneys then we can regulate the commerce part (set minimum price, blind donors to recipients), just as the medical market is regulated. (And in general if oppression/exploitation is a concern then the law should address that - provide a social safety net so people don't have to even think about to sell their kidney for money, instead of regulating the symptom.)
IIRC, one of the screen savers on SPARCstations was Conway's Game of Life, with each 'cell' being the SUN logo. I loved it at the time.

As the logo is effectively a diamond, the cell pattern was rotated 45 degrees which was also cool.

The District of Columbia law git repo is the authoritative source as far as I know, so not really an outreach initiative. I do not know whether the lawmakers actually actively use it, or that they, more likely, just let clerks do it for them.

The Bundestag one is an outreach initiative, making it easier to track law changes.
James Comey once expressed his opinion that there are two sides to the encryption debate, privacy and the ability of law enforcement to obtain information. Both sides are important, and he never made up his mind on what the right balance should be. Now his time to influence such things is past.

Reading this, I knew he was right, but formed my own opinion that math and reality should decide that balance. Math has spoken, and it is in favor of encryption. The day may come when the pendulum swings back and a way is revealed to break all forms of encryption, if that is the case, then so be it, then and now doing math should remain legal.

(Not exactly a fresh idea, but I wanted to write it.)

As a matter of fact, the 4th absolutely protects you from having to take a breathalyzer when pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. You are not required to comply, and to compel you requires a warrant signed by a judge, as per the 4th. There can be no criminal sanction, but in many states, the state may revoke the privilege of operating a motor vehicle on state maintained roadways, or in other words, suspend a drivers license.

> Everything can be explained away by science?

There's so much to talk about in that post, so I'll pick one.

Science is the process by which we test hypothesis to see if we can repeat outcomes. It does not work if the outcome is not repeatable. That leaves a lot of room for things like God and the supernatural. "Creation", for example, is not a repeatable event. We can test hypotheses around the notion, but we lack the time and power to enact it in such a way where it would constitute a proof.

So no, we cannot explain things away through science, we can only increase our knowledge, which in sum total for the whole of humanity is very small --- which is ultimately meaningless. (Ecclesiastes)

Some interesting side paths: If 2 billion people in the world are Christian, can we infer through collective experience (scientific hypothesis tested) that there's something behind belief? It's a fascinating question. And one that gets interpreted all sorts of ways.
"So even if we left these critical industries untouched, we could still reduce fossil fuel consumption by 83%"

I think these industries are not the most challenging ones about finding carbon-free alternative solutions. One of the most important thing is transportation, and as far as I know, there isn't anything immediately available that can replace the current shipping of goods around the planet. In the future, we may try switch to ships burning iron powder instead, or build massive continent-connecting rail infrastructure (like in Snowpiercer), but for now we'll just have to settle for less than 83% reduction.
The author of article stated it wrong. It's not the time-of-flight that is used as a proximity measure, it is the received signal strength (RSS). By limiting response times to 8 ms just demands better relaying equipment. 1 nanosecond means around 30 centimeters in air and you need very precise clocks (or by measuring ToF by roundtrip times with very precise local timestamping of messages) and much wider bandwidth (500 MHz+) if you want to measure ToF with such precision. Bluetooth doesn't have that functionality.
How people make money with mev bots these days? I find it hardly possible even a year back.
> I've asked this before: what's the goal, and how does putting women (in this case) on boards help towards that goal?

It's all about overcoming inertia by pushing against it. There's a cultural bias in corporate boards to only or primarily hire men. Putting women on them can show that they are equally capable, and gives these women the opportunity to create the contacts needed so that other women in the future will also have access to them. All this is more difficult as long as the cultural tendency to discriminate in favor of men remains unchanged.
Boards of directors of public companies are normally elected by shareholders. I wouldn't say they're chosen based on their real qualifications, more so their reputation and popularity.

The number of seats is kind of arbitrary from what I understand, you could add more or have less seats.

Also what the board is responsible for is generally governed by government regulation in some jurisdiction.

The whole thing is about corporate oversight to some extent, supposed to be you have unbiased members that don't have skin in the game like execs and CEOs and other employees and who can represent shareholder's interests as well as government regulation.

I'm not sure how I personally feel about the law, but the idea that you'd need say a gender parity of board members isn't that insane as compared to say for hiring for a doctor, engineer, scientist, etc. If you think of the purpose of the board to be that unbiased oversight, you could argue diversity is a good way to optimize for reduced bias.

To tell something positive too:

When I researched it last time, Inkscape was the only reasonable way to do programmatically edit arbitrary SVGs. Other tools always had some troubles with some weird edge-cases, Inkscape knew how to edit everything I threw at it. Including really weird CSS inside SVG.

It was pretty annoying that I needed to install all the graphical layers in Docker just to do that, but hey, it worked.

It also doesn't look atrocious on Mac anymore, that's great.

That being said, I am still not used to the "corel draw-like" UX, I prefer the "illustrator" UX. So with that said I prefer Affinity tools.

*it seems like those claims would only pay out 100% right?

100% of the value of the house perhaps. But they probably also cover things like any other loss of valuables in the house plus the cost of shelter temporary and relocation costs. Plus if someone dies or is seriously injured in the disaster they might also have to pay out for that. In addition there are costs that the local and national government will have to take when dealing with someones house being destroyed, and they might be willing to pay the insurance companies a bit to take that risk off their table.
This is what I've arrived at too.

If I just want to make notes, I'll use Org or Markdown in plain text. These can also be converted to HTML for web.

If I want to print something with lots of text, nothing beats LaTeX.

If I am making something design intensive, I'll use Scribus or some other desktop publishing software.

I guess regular people think of word processors as the Swiss army knife here: does everything, not particularly well, but worth only having to learn one software?
All very good points and I don’t disagree with you. For me the issue is that FOSS is not a good model for generating the massive investment of resources needed to solve many problems.

Inkscape is great and if your problem space happens to be adequately addressed by it then fine. It’s not anywhere close to addressing many of the use cases solved by proprietary DTP though and the pace of development is glacial.

So I appreciate FOSS and use it, and I’m very grateful for it. I just don’t buy the moral arguments. If someone wants to charge money for their software, and I think it’s worth it, I’ll pay for it. I don’t see how that’s anyone else’s business.

Sure, I don't mean to suggest that Roe vs Wade was actually about encryption. But Roe v Wade makes the privacy angle of the pro-choice position pretty clear; that privacy between a woman and her doctor is relevant to the discussion. If privacy in that context is important, then technology which doesn't subvert that privacy is also important. The convergence of the two seems obvious; people are practically glued to their phones, carry them everywhere, use them for everything. If you care about privacy in virtually any modern context, be it abortion or just about anything else, then you have a reason to care about digital privacy.
Based on what are you saying that competition is a good incentive to move forward? Did you watch the video? Einstein didn't discover the theory of relativity for money, and Leonardo de Vinci did most of his research in secret.

What I think is, it's the comparison and less focus span, that leads us anxious. Though social media has a role to play in this. We also have to accept the fact that it has become a part of our lives, so understanding the core of problems we face would work in long run.

They have a great license too. I can bring my personal license to my work computers so it makes it a no-brainer to just buy the license and then use it everywhere. They recently made that one license work cross platform too, and retroactively upgraded my license for free.

It's such a shame that there isn't more research in this area. There are so many seemingly wondrous effects on human health that would need thourugh testing.

Apart from physiological benefits though, the mental aspect of fasting from my own experience can be quite exciting as well. A 7 day fast was the longest I did so far, but 72h really hit the sweet spot for me. It was like a journey through my mind, I got challenged in very new ways to break the fast and also questioned my purpose in life a lot, as I seemingly live to eat. It was quite shocking to realize how much time I spend during a normal day to: buy food, prepare it, consume, dispose, cleanup etc. The rewards of fasting to me were long phases of absolute clarity and great concentration.
Society is lost on silly causes. I wish they were aware of the encryption debate, privacy and less goverment. But all the signs goes in the opposite direction: more goverment control, more corpos control to censor, etc.
Authoritative source? No way. The authoritative source are the legal gazettes and official publications, just like they've always been. You think the legal profession will accept an XML repository, hosted by a private company serving the software industry, as authoritative? That's absurd.

Perhaps you meant "official" rather than "authoritative"? As in "published by an actual lawmaking institution", but not "the authoritative reference for those laws".
I tend to agree with your first sentence, it is a hypocritical inconsistency. Either you believe the fetus is a distinct person, or you don't. A carve out allowing for what you say is murder for a crime the "condemned" isn't responsible for is reprehensible, again, if you believe abortion is murder. I've met pro life individuals who only allow for a carve out in the event the mother faces a tangible risk of being disabled or killed by continuing pregnancy, and I tend to respect their intellectual consistency.

I didn't say anything about ownership, I said the blockchain. Surely you're not saying its impossible to make a good game that makes use of the blockchain? Maybe that will never happen, but it seems odd to discount it entirely.

I get HN's negativity when it comes to the blockchain and crypto and all of that, I share it a lot of the time, but it feels like people here are just a little too jumpy when it comes to its very mention.
I’m super attracted to the idea of going back to client-only software with nothing (or minimal amounts of stuff) on the server. If you can make money with a model like that, it’s ideal. You host nothing, so you have nothing to lose sleep over. Except having airtight updates, but I’d rather worry about my code than users' data.
> Well if we assume that some states are going to treat abortion as murder, one could argue encrypted communications about getting such an medical procedure are under higher pressure than when they are not.

But that has nothing to do with outlawing encryption. There have already been cases where the government has been unable to access data related to murders. Classifying abortion as murder wouldn't change anything in that regard.

>I wouldn't trust a system that is this unreasonable when it comes to bodily autonomy to suddenly have it's ducks in a row when it comes to privacy (or for that matter: any other freedom US citizens currently enjoy).

Roe's problem is that it asserts a right that is never directly described in the amendment it's supposed to be based upon. This is unique to abortion as most fundamental rights are explicitly described in the constitution.
This was one of the best bits of palette chicanery on the CPC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huHwm1Vx0NU

The perspective scroll is achieved by having a colour for each 'column' of the text. The letters are then drawn by setting the palette at the start of each scanline. So for a letter T, you'd have a few scanlines with ink 1, 2, and 3 all set to green; then the remaining scanlines with ink 1 and 3 set to black, and ink 2 set to green.

Later on it varies the technique by using different shapes, by changing the colour selection per line, and so on.
Shouldn't it bring about a demand to change laws if that's what the people want, rather than trying to hide from authorities? Not suggesting that everybody should not be doing the latter at any and all opportunity, mind you.

"Tech companies" will not save you. They may act like they are sticking their neck out , but it's all just calculated to a cost/benefit. Ask the Uyghurs and Yemenis how bravely these vaunted companies that do business in China and Saudi have been standing up for their rights. How many companies were waving the rainbow flag in the 1980s?

Corporations act the way they do not because they are leaders in human rights, it's because of the attitudes of the people in the societies they operate in. You are forcing them to act in a particular way. They are not the leaders, you are. They are followers. Don't let them try to take credit or fool you into thinking they are leading these movements or that you owe them anything or need them to bring about further change.
I wouldn't say that. To take another example, you might not think it's society's responsibility to house homeless people while also thinking it is wrong to kill them. So expecting people who think (what they believe to be) murder should be illegal to then want to take good care of the world is dishonest, the second does not follow from the first.
