>The same state rights that allow gun control and homosexuality to be locally legalized before national concensus; also now lead to abortion legislation being a state issue.

There is some irony to this statement as the Supreme Court just the other day released a ruling that denied a state this ability with regards to gun control laws.
> Moderates generally lack any firm convictions or anchoring principles beyond maintaining equanimity

Idk about this. Maybe they just think things are currently pretty good, and that the other options would be worse. I think democrats are largely on the right track. Just enough regulation to ensure market failures are fixed, broad social policy to do what you like as long as it doesn't harm others, a safety net that helps those who are down while encouraging everyone to work hard for the better of society.
> The Roe decision invented a Constitutional right where one did not exist,

So did the ninth amendment, FWIW: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Appelate courts decide on what a "right" is. That's arguably their most important function. Huge, huge chunks of modern constitutional law are based on subjects not enumerated in the constitution. The constitution doesn't speak about miscegenation laws, or miranda rights, etc... Yet those are still "rights" that you'd be awfully horrified to have destroyed, right?

This argument doesn't really work, basically. The argument you're making is, if you really think about it, not what you actually want.
Thankfully the founders had some thoughts on "inventing rights".

"Amendment IX

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

Bodily autonomy is more complex than just womb to birth. So, at what age is a mother no longer required to use their body to provide life for a child? ie. If a 4 year old needs a blood transfusion, can the state force the mother to provide their blood for their child? What about a kidney transplant? When does the states interest in the potential life of a child end?

Bodily autonomy aside, since Rowe v. Wade was primarily a decision about medical privacy, and was part of the foundations of many other precedents and laws, is HIPA still valid? What is the new line between medical privacy rights and free speech rights.

So it's more important to you that common law not exist than it is for the Supreme Court to make rulings based on religious ideology?

Are you really going to pretend not to understand why this ruling came now, when the religious right just so happened to be in charge of the Supreme Court, and not at any other time in the past 50 years?
Clearly biggest problem is the whole first past the post and winner takes all. Fix those and move to proportional representation and it would be lot better.
The 6809 was nice, but I think the CoCo otherwise was crap. Aside from the 32 column display and awful color scheme, the built-in serial port was bit-banged. This meant that floppy drive and serial access could not happen at the same time. This is very relevant when trying to use OS-9.

There was an external serial port as an option, but there was only one slot. So you also had to buy a slot expander (a Multi-Pak).
It's true that most people agreed that Roe v. Wade should not be overturned. But a quick look at the polling will also show you that Roe v. Wade was more popular than abortion itself.

I think there is a simple way to interpret that: a lot of people thought that Roe v. Wade meant that they didn't have to think about abortion. And they liked that, even if they didn't think it was the ideal way to resolve the issue. They simply cared more about other issues, like the PPACA subsidy gaps, environmental sustainability, gun rights, taxes, drugs, et cetera, ad nauseam. Even during the Barrett and Kavanaugh nominations, there were plenty of people, including the nominally pro-choice (e.g. a certain Senator from Maine), who argued that Roe v. Wade was not in danger, which was most likely wishful thinking.

So your idea doesn't work, and in fact nothing works. The era when a voter or politician can (effectively) ignore abortion as a substantive political issue is over, and it isn't coming back.
Any OOP course covers the 'reasons' for OOP (such as they are). Polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. Yes, you can model much the same behavior with structs and associated functions (which is really still OOP to some extent, just without any language support), but it's quite a bit of additional work.
Very well said. Democrats reminds me of Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones, always doing the honorable thing and getting outmaneuver by people who don't play fair.
When source code is made available under an open source license, there are strings attached; attaching those strings is the author’s right! Assuming you or any company has the right to do anything you want with that code without respecting the license is immoral.

That “licensing hell” (i.e. strong copyleft protections) is the reason we enjoy such a vibrant and large open source community today. I don’t take it for granted that open source as we have it today was inevitable: it required a lot of work and I’d hate to see that slip away.
Codifying Roe is double sided sword. If Congress has the power to legalize abortion (under some commerce clause interpretation), it likely has the power to ban abortion nationwide.

I used it for a year until maybe 12 months ago. The one thing that made me leave was that everything was juat slow enough to irritate me. Not crazy slow, but not very responsive either.

I like that there's a good export function though, being able to be non committal to a tool is a prime feature IMO

Mmm, I'm not convinced. Generally speaking I think wealthy, business and even "custom-savvy" people - if you want to go that far - have enough business sense to realise paying $250 for a plain white shirt doesn't make any sense...
I am using Raindrop and it syncs seamlessly between all my devices despite not ever paying for it.
It wasn't. This ruling is not about the constitution it's about power. Roe vs Wade was fine. This ruling is based on the fact that Republicans after decades got 6 extreme social conservatives on the court who decided they don't like Abortion
I think it's hard to draw that line on extremism. Conversation and finding consensus are much easier if people build their world view and values on as small base assumptions as possible. If we cannot agree on base assumptions and values it's much harder to have a fruitful conversation especially if these assumptions cannot be violated because they were hand down from god. Religion generally makes numerous and very large assumptions.
On one hand, you are correct in that the right is more reluctant to use governmental power to improve society. That's in part because they put more emphasis on personal responsibility, and in part because they are skeptical of the government's competence.

On the hand, I think the right has done more than they usually get credit for. Median real wages rose significantly under Trump. [1] Nixon created the EPA. [2] At an individual level, conservatives donate significantly more to charities, and give blood more often. [3]

You can, the PinePhone is just a Linux device after all. However, on a slow phone like the PinePhone you'll really notice the bloat and overhead the web stack adds to your programs and native tooling is a breath of fresh air.

I don't understand why you'd want to drag the web into a phone GUI.
My anecdotal experience is the opposite.

I write code much faster in Rust than in C++. Part of it is thanks to the type system – fewer opportunities for dev errors means that I can produce code that is more concise, spends less time handling runtime errors because I can have static guarantees that they have already been handled somewhere, etc. Part of it is #[derive(...)], great documentation, Cargo and other QoL components of Rust.
Oh wow, this looks really good. I want to say, what I was really hoping to see is a "how does this work?" section. I'll read the source code, but it would be nice to have a quick narrative explanation.

EDIT: Looks like the "Concepts" page has what I am looking for. I would add some of that to the front page.
Thomas wasn't part of the majority? He wrote a concurring opinion - he agrees with the main decision and went out of his way to further explain his thoughts, including that he disagrees with any of the rights created under the auspices of due process. But, he conveniently left Loving v Virginia off the list, which was also decided (partially) on due process grounds - I guess he's not quite so sure about his principles that he'd blow up his own marriage.

When does the Bible say life begins? What are the punishments laid out in the Bible for causing an abortion?

Weird Calvinist predestination silliness aside.
> Note that a man is not required to donate blood to save an adult human, even if there is no risk to him. The equal protection clause extends that right to your own body to women, and that is fairly sound constitutional reasoning.

Just one comment away from implying that this case is straightforward, and you're bringing up esoteric case law from 100 years ago. I don't point this out to denigrate you, but to highlight just how complicated law can be, particularly when it comes to landmark SCOTUS decisions. I thought I heard on the news that the majority opinion was 90 pages long, but I can't find a reference. However detailed it was, for the next month, literally millions of people will be on Twitter making 280-character-limited reductio ad absurdum comments about it.
I also don't really agree with this definition either. This train of logic leads to the justification of euthanizing less intelligent humans. It also doesn't adequately address why a human with microcephaly or no frontal lobe has rights, but a dolphin or octopus or killer whale does not. It also allows for the justification of cruelty against animals who can feel pain but aren't intelligent enough to pass some arbitrary test of intelligence. To be clear, I don't know the answer, I am hesitant to label anything as "innately valuable". I think that there is however a sliding scale of what is "ethical".
I don't understand your point. If you want to convince someone that believes that the fetus becomes a life sometime in the gestation period, screaming about religion and privacy won't get you anywhere.

What does this have to do with religion?

I’ve got a little iOS version of this: https://youtu.be/uuM4yBFI03E

The hardware is a very fancy synth with a bunch of oscillators that are all tuned relative & symmetrically to each other and you can control the “spread” of the tunings at the same time you adjust the core pitch. Think of the THX sound, or the entire The Social Network soundtrack.

Actually haven’t built it in a while, should redo it in the newest swift(ui) as an exercise.

Edit: no regrets. Nobody cares but me & that’s fine.

Even if you swallow the argument that a fetus is a "person", you still have to temper the rights of the fetus who is a parasite on the mother, who is a living, breathing person with rights of her own, including "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".

If a dead person can't be forced to give up organs without prior consent, a living woman should not be forced to provide life support (at a risk to her own life by the way) for a fetus. Just like I can't be forced to donate a kidney to another person, a woman should not be forced to donate blood, bone and full life support to a fetus.

IOTW, it's literally a matter of competing rights to life. Carrying a pregnancy to term is a mortal risk. Certain pregnancies will kill the mother if not ended, and the fetus will never be viable. Other times the fetus is already dead, but since the law doesn't actually consider the fetus a person, it can't be removed due to abortion bans, and the woman is forced to carry a dead parasite and risk fatal sepsis.

All of this should be left to the woman, her doctor, her circumstances and her conscience, not a bunch of old men in legislatures and courts.
I do believe there's a case to be made that 'abortifacient' birth control should be regulated more carefully, and used for the protection of the mother instead of as a general-use contraceptive. Though this kind of manslaughter can't practically result in prosecution, so at the end of the day the use of abortifacients might have to be on the conscience of the potential mother (and father).
Have they ever even tried? Even with a compromise bill?
Thomas will be remembered as SCOTUSs right wing sleeper agent. He's been irrelevant legislative furniture for so long that people nearly forgot about him. Then his time finally came. Now Roe is overturned. Griswold and Obergefel may well be next.

The only good that may come of this is a return to fighting issues out in the democratic sphere. Libs beloved Supreme Court won't save you now.
This is not true. States versus Federalism has been an argument since the first presidency with Hamilton, Adams, and Washington stacked up against Madison and Jefferson.

The reason that states existed at all in the north - despite states having laws forbidding it - was because of the supreme court.

Sigh, not this. The bill of rights explicitly says that there are other rights not enumerated in the constitution that exist and (presumably) need to be enforced. The whole idea of Strict Construction flies right in the face of the obvious text of the ninth amendment.

The 6809 is ridiculously suitable for running Forth, because you've got two stacks, a 16-bit accumulator, and you can implement NEXT in two instructions taking about three clocks each.
I wrote a multi-tasking OS for the 6809 and used the DP to hold the current task ID: task local variables would be in the direct page.
The troll PR's are hysterical, especially the one trying to add the Linux Kernel. But I really see this as a novel way for legislation to be drafted, put out a piece of legislation and then accept modifications from constituents. Obviously there are many kinks that would have to get worked out, ensuring you are only accepting contributions from actual constituents and providing a way for non-technical users to contribute.

EDIT:

Even without the ability to PR, having full text of legislation that can be parsed by computers can be a gamechanger. Imagine having a bot that distills the contents on an Omnibus Bill (usually a few thousand pages) into several paragraphs of summary on all the important points, broken down by pork barrels, stuff from previous bills, etc.

Here's some data: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Ignoring the programs using x86 intrinsics to do vectorized math, the top-performing Rust, Go, Java, and C# programs are all written in a simple, straightforward style; each is practically a direct translation from the other. The Rust program is fastest, but the others come in at 1.6x, 1.7x, and 1.7x the Rust program, respectively. These are not significant differences for the vast majority of applications.

Of course this is one artificial benchmark, and on that website you will find others where the Java, C#, or Go program will do especially well or especially poorly. But it's clear that those three are all roughly in the same performance class..
You may know what the Bitcoin protocol dictates, but Bitcoin protocol has little to do with its value. It is worth what people will pay for it.

How are small conservative states enforcing their social views on the majority?

In states where there is a majority for abortion, abortition is legalised by law, not by court, i.e. the way it should be. It is in states where there is no majority for abortion that it is not. How is it not democratic?

For things to be done at the federal level, it needs a broad consensus across the country, not a 51% majority where the 49% is dead against. The EU has similar safeguards where you need effectively 3 keys to enable a law (European parliament, European commission, and the Council), not a simple 51% majority. Nothing prevents you from legislatating at a state level, but if you want to impose your views on other states, it needs to be a broad consensus. What you seem to complain about is that voters in California cannot impose their social view on the inhabitants of Utah.
> I fully agree that this is just one of the many battles in a long war by the elite to erase private ownership completely. People call it a conspiracy theory but the trend is very clear to see, and has been accelerating for the past few decades.

I think the conspiracy theory is imagining a bunch of wealthy elites sitting around in a dark room Illuminati style discussing how they can turn everyone into serfs renting everything from them.

The reality is that our capitalist economy is very short sighted and wants quarterly profits and returns. Subscriptions provide predictable and constant income, you can tweak the later both by raising prices or increasing subscribers.
Trump won white women in both presidential elections, and Trump got to stamp the court with three justices.

98% of black women voted for Clinton.

In 2016, 55% of voters were women, which trump won 47-44. By three points, which is a solid win in a presidential general election.

So Trump won the largest voting race+gender demographic.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/892859/women-support-ove...

For republican-leaning women (which will be white women based on the female black vote numbers), it is basically 50-50 in support/opposition for Roe V Wade. For Dem-leaning it is 85-15 roughly.

Roe V Wade is the most important women's right won in the courts in the last 50 years, and women voted to overturn it effectively.

Finally, this is the culmination of the liberal justices refusing to step down or retire. Ruth Baider Ginsburg is held up as a pinnacle of feminism, and yet her stubbornness to continue serving despite health problems and battles with cancer resulted in Trump getting a crucial third justice.

The most stalwart feminist justice handed the overturn of Roe V Wade to a president with a known record for sexual impropriety if not outright assault.

Obama sat on Merrick Garland.

The baby boomer generation ushered in sexual freedom when it was their time to be young and free, and then shut the door on it in their old age crapping over all the other generations.

What a world.

We can change the definition of "future-proof" -- your cable was future proofed in that if you were using it for hundreds of years, it wouldn't require any maintenance and if the age of wireless tech never came, your cables would be relevant

Extreme example: not future-proofing cables would be like laying them out above ground where the weather/ elements will destroy them before a year's end

But agreed that buying for your immediate need, with a little bit of futuresight is helpful

The critical difference is the individual rights of the fetus.

If you hold that at some point the fetus has rights of its own then this becomes more difficult.

I think that’s the fundamental question and what makes this issue challenging.

For a provocative example, we don’t allow infanticide to be left up to the individuals moral decision, and then suggest those that care about it engage to help stop infanticide. We decide at that point the infant has rights and we care about suffering.

I think for societal pragmatic reasons women should retain the right to terminate pregnancy even though it does result in ending a life and in some cases suffering of the unborn (depending on stage). But I don’t pretend that tradeoff isn’t a real thing, I just think that’s the best outcome on net.

I also think contraception should be widely and easily available to reduce the likelihood of this happening generally.

I can understand how a reasonable person could disagree and have stronger views about when the fetus’ individual rights should kick in.
There are many people that aren’t religious extremists who think that abortion is, at best, extremely morally problematic. It’s fundamentally a question about the definition of life, not the adherence to certain religious beliefs.
I think they would have to kill the filibuster to do that.
> What’s surprising is the American Catholic priesthood tends to go after pro-choice politicians, but not pro-death-penalty ones, despite the church seeing both as similarly objectionable.

[EDIT: This first paragraph is incorrect as is pointed out in a response; it is left unchanged for context of the discussion.]

They are not viewed as “similarly objectionable”. The death penalty is viewed as being within the legitimate power of government doctrinally, but the present leadership of the Church views prudentially that the conditions which allow it do not occur in the modern world. Direct abortion is viewed as doctrinally prohibited. This is an important theological distinction because the Church heirarchy is viewed (borrowing some language from law) as having binding authority on doctrine, but only (very strongly) persuasive authority on prudential application of doctrine to particular material contexts.

That being said, you are correct that the political actions of the American Catholic heirarchy (more the bishops than the priesthood, and not all of them) are rather unbalanced (and not just on this pair of issues) in a way which is not easily explained by any coherent appeal to the actual social teaching of the Catholic Church.
