I dislike the games, since they are too close to work/programming to be fun for me (just like Factorio). However, the success of Zachtronics - both business and creative, is undeniable. I wish they were the ones to gain success with the original 3D cube digging gameplay and not the massively popular Minecraft clone.
Because Roe Vs Wade was overturned federally wasn't it? So it applies in all states?
you can't say "figure it out democratically" with the Senate and electoral college

saying "its the other branches problem" doesn't work either as SCOTUS is appointed by the undemocratic president and Senate
> Weird because the courts striking down laws as unconstitutional is literally their job description.

Funnily enough, it's literally not in their original job description. Judicial review, like so many things about the Supreme Court, is just based on precedent [1].

I strongly recommend reading Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s thoughts on Roe v Wade in 1992 - expressed about a year before she became a Supreme Court justice.

She describes Roe as a “breathtaking” decision and as interrupting a process already underway. Her discussion starts on page 1198 in this PDF which is a rewarding read if you have the time.

I’m not advocating either way - I merely hope to present Justice Ginsbergs eloquent views (in 1992) on the matter for further discussion here.

It literally is not. The ability of the court to strike down laws is something the court came up with for itself. It's not literally in the Constitution, it's an inferred authority.

Not 100% sure the article doesn't cover this, but if you want a constant rate of wakeups over time (not a precise duration of each sleep call), it's important to schedule your next sleep 1 period after your most recent intended wakeup time (in absolute time), not 1 period after the call to the sleep function (in relative time), to ensure that the time spent after sleep() returns before you call sleep() again doesn't accumulate with every sleep iteration and cause you to fall behind in real time.
This seems exactly the same to me just with more complicated type names.
That's the nature of crypto - separate the stupid from their money.
Rumsfeld was perfectly happy to organize black prisons (aka secret prisons not in the us, in other countries where us civil rights didn't apply), where the us took people who were kidnapped after 9/11 from various places around the world and tortured them. The US did this on my behalf. Then they pushed through legal justification for torture when they waterboarded people in Guantanamo. Then tons of republican politicians said it's not so bad. So no, there is no rehabilitating him because he brought the first hdtv system to market.
<<Your job is to argue that abortion is not murder. Any argument that sidesteps the morality of abortion is not going to convince anyone.

This is an interesting comment. It is not your job to do anything unless you are actually paid by an entity that has a vested interest in an outcome. Your argument structure does not have to follow predetermined steps ordained by the high priests. All these arguments are not going to convince anyone. For better or worse, most have already made up their minds a long time ago. Just to make it all more confusing, GPT-chan showed clearly you simply cannot trust online fora ( or, frankly, based on Amazon's raise the dead skill, phone conversations ) to have real humans anymore ( although you could argue, this was clear during last net neutrality debate and how comments there were not written by individuals).

But going back to the crux of your argument, I disagree. This is HN. Morality will not impress people here. Rational discourse is a path forward if it is intended to sway anyone.
The expensive stuff still bears the trademark of the brand, the lead designer, or the collection. It's more subtle, but ultimately the reason why people buy it. And some brands really just sell the logo at a high price, like Hermes or Louis Vuitton.
Which is meaningless now that the USSC has determined that it's fine if people sue over abortions they suspect may have happened.
Working on difficult problems that is so abstract, I find that

> Strategies that can collapse the higher dimensional Difficult Problem into a lower dimensional form of Hard Work reduce the cognitive costs to solving the problem

make it worse, abstraction leaks everywhere, every level of abstract seems exchangeable, applicable .. while it just doesn't work.

Abstraction is a malware of thought of breaking task down to Hard Work.

Where are you getting this from? It’s definitely not true when it comes to savings and investment. It’s not true for food, as I linked below. Its not true for travel. It’s not true for housing either. Why do you believe this?

Woah, in the law details matter. You can be in favor if the idea of right to repair and oppose all proposed laws because the details are bad.
Monero is touted as digital cash fro this reason. Even if you buy it from an exchange, it's the equivalent of taking cash out from an ATM. There is no way to track where/what you spent that money on.
I like this distinction, and the bit about converting difficult problems into hard-work.

There's one thing that occurred to me in the context of agile + difficult problems. When I think about my sprints, the vast amount of my time is spend dominated on that one "difficult" problem, which on the surface does not feel difficult. The spirit of agile development is to _try_ to transform difficult problems into hard-work (in the way suggested in the article), but I feel like most people don't try very hard to do that.

We could improve the way we structure our work by allowing ourselves to be more honest about acknowledging this, as well as actually putting in the mental work to figure out if parts of the difficult problem can be converted to "hard work".

Data Sanitization with Vitess
So theocracies? Huge doubt there are any states where every citizen is of the same religion.
Just curious, how much are we talking here? Sometimes out here the bar tab can get up to 300-400 for 2, especially if you order bottle service, since the law states they can only sell per drink and not full bottles.
A world leaded by creationism, neo-imperialism and capitalism now facing climate & pollution induced mass extinction. What a beautiful time to be alive.

It's not about ads. it's about manipulation and gathering data to be used against you at every and any opportunity. The data that's sold and passed around is used to determine things like how much you pay for things vs your neighbor. It determines what services you are offered and at what terms.

If a store thinks I make more money than you, I might for example be told they've got a return policy that is much more generous than what they'll tell you. There are places where you will wait longer on hold, getting repeatedly bumped back to make room for people who have a better "consumer score" than you do.

The data is handed over to the state and locked away until it's useful to them. It's can get you arrested or questioned by police when you've committed no crime. It can get you sued for things which should not be crimes but are. It's used by politicians who carve out the borders of their districts specifically to limit the ability for your vote to make any difference.

That data is used to target you with lies and misinformation. It allows you to be targeted by extremist groups. It can be used to decide if you get hired or not. You could be turned down for housing because of it. There are millions of things that might prejudice another person against you. Your lifestyle, your politics, your religion, the people you associate with, your sexual history, your medical conditions, etc. You can't know who is accessing your information or for what reason, or know how accurate that data is, or know if/how it is being protected.

It's a gross violation of your rights, which yes, sometimes is used to manipulate you into buying something you might not have bought otherwise, but increasingly is used for much much more and once the intimate details of your life have been taken from you, you can never take them back or prevent them from spreading.

However much you enjoy the products that are spying you, you can't ever say if the benefits outweigh the costs. You aren't even allowed to know what the costs are or when you are paying for them, and there will never come a time when you have paid in full and it can no longer cost you something else.

this deserves its own post, but the other advantage working with tech datasets on the regular is developing perspective on the methodological shortcomings of what's done at universities.

what i mean is that once i started running product experiments at scale in really hyperoptimized environments, my sense of what's realistically possible with small data sets collected by humans describing meatspace circumstances contracted fairly dramatically. I don't just mean replication crisis issues, although those are real; im instead skeptical of nearly all of the empirical work being done in nearly every social science field.

that is, im not arguing that tech does a great job facilitating research into eg maternity leave policies. rather, im saying i dont think anyone is learning much about them at all.

im happy to acknowledge that this is a minority view.
Doesn’t work that way for Canadian numbers. Only original issuer is public info. Porting info is on a need-to-know basis (ie: telecoms need to terminate calls; but that’s it).

This can work against you of course, so a good strategy is to get a burner phone and port that number to your VoIP provider.
And the Senate. But another question I don't see answered much is, why are rural blocs so different in their moral stance from urban ones, and what can we learn from it?
> Regarding abortion, what aspect of the constitution would cover it?

The 9th amendment of the United States reads:

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

This was added as an Amendment, because many founders were deeply concerned that the introduction of a bill of rights would create the impression that if they enumerated some rights, people would consider that list to be complete.

That is, they recognized that there were many rights not explicitly enumerated by the constitution that were still important rights. Nearly everyone agreed that the enumeration of rights was not intended to capture every right.

So, relying on "what rights are explicitly mentioned in the constitution" is antithetical to the entire concept of the bill of rights. It's an incorrect place to start reading the constitution.
We need the law to push human rights forward, even if 100% of the electorate does not agree with that.

You cannot just put slavery on your municipality ballot and let the local residents vote on it.
From 2008-2010, the Democratic party had the chance to enshrine abortion into the law of the land. They even had a perfect vehicle, the ACA, in which to do it, since it already dealt with healthcare rules. They declined.
Not new. Just naive.

A million people can't claim to have written The Lord of the Rings and sell copies of it for profit, not without greatly harming J.R.R. Tolkien, who actually did write it.

> Animals have been guarding the kills for millions of years before humans even evolved.

And in the state of nature, if a stronger animal comes by and defeats you, it gets that kill and you get nothing. In the world of property rights, the state protects your right to your stuff. The fact that you can own more stuff than you can defend with personal violence is not natural.

Also, the state can take away your things with taxes or eminent domain, and it can say you can't own certain things, like nuclear weapons, heroin, or other people. But the latter two used to be allowed, in the United States, at least.

Property rights are a function of law, not a function of nature.
Unborn, unwanted, unsupported and unloved children, you left the important part out !
It's certainly a tricky question. How granular should we get? People's actions in other states still affect everyone in the country. I don't want unwanted children to exist in this country, they require government handouts and become a drag at a much higher rate. Plus kids are smart, they realize they're unwanted and that sucks. Since those people use tax dollars that I pay should I not have a say?
My 4 day WW dream is 4 day weekends (Fri + Mon) off, alternating with a standard 2 day weekend.

But to your point, a 4DWW does have to mean any give office is open only 4 days. It, at least in theory, only means less ppl available on any given day. That said, I'd prefer to see more stores and services - gov or not - open later on Thur so I can get done what needs to get done with adding friction to a day off.

We use ProductBoard and Shortcut right now.

I've found two keys to success:

* Separate tools for high-level product/business planning (ProductBoard) and the project-to-project and day-to-day tasks (Shortcut).

* Keep things as simple as possible.

-----

For us, I (an EM) coordinate product priorities with our PM in ProductBoard. We manage things at the week to month level here. The PM's goal is to ensure there's always enough work available. Mine is to figure who and how much. We work together on the "when".

When we move to the delivery phase, we have engineers track it in a task management tool (Shortcut). Large stories get broken down into smaller tasks.
It's even worse when you think of how phone companies often recycle dead phone numbers. I remember in Brazil you would often hear of people accidentally stealing someone else's account in apps where login == phone number due do this. It's an awful verification system all over.
The funny thing about media bias is that people assume it's dark forces conspiring about what information to feed the public, but the reality is that a stronger bias is simply “who is willing to show up to talk about it in an entertaining way”.

There have traditionally been more of these on the pro-crypto side, because not many people devote time to talking about it unless they're getting paid, and there's not much money in being anti-crypto. There are some people (like me) who do it anyway, though, and TV bookers/publications have become better at finding us.
No pro-lifers think infants deserve no societal protection.

I’ve never heard this stance put forward.
By this logic, should marriage between a man and a woman who cannot conceive be protected? Why or why not?

> However, if one views marriage as a precursor to reproduction -- the historical view of marriage...

The historical purpose of marriage is the exchange/pursuit of status and resources[1]. Reproduction was an inevitable outcome of lack of contraceptives. The idea of reproduction being the primary purpose of marriage is pretty recent.

This looks like it's in the family of interpolation sorts. The one I noticed which seemed most similar was FlashSort: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashsort

In general, it makes most sense to compare it against allocating, distribution based sorts.

Additionally, with interpolation sorts, you have to be pretty careful that the interpolation is sufficiently well implemented to maximize overlapping inserts.

I don't see an official name, but I would also be curious to compare it to an interpolation variation on a library sort.

Other distributions are of interest. In particular, ones with high skew like various exponential ones and lognormal.

do you mean the people working in product. i.e. PMs?

Spare me...

And one party is pushing to make it 6 weeks (or less) or no abortions at all. Tell me more about "both sides".
In the fashion buying world, high end brands will force stockists to buy a certain number of units of the logo crap (tees etc) in order to get units of the more desirable/unique seasonal pieces. FWIW, as someone who leans toward a lot of high end, most of the work of shopping is wading through that junk.
Judicial Review is something the court granted itself, it’s not in the constitution. This idea that that court can basically invent or remove the laws of the land by interpretation of a 200 year old document, then decide oh, that’s wrong and now it’s this way… is basically insane. It does not work like this basically anywhere else in the world.
Yea but that would require that the government actually regulate something g which they haven't done since what, the 70s?

Ah, but this is where it gets fun. Different power centers see abortions from different perspectives. The state wants ( and benefits from ) more taxpayers, while corporates benefit from ensuring workflow is not interrupted by biological needs.
Most of the USA will still have more permissive abortion laws than Europe even after the removal of Roe v. Wade. [0] Most of the EU restricts abortion after 12 weeks - which is what the law at issue in this case does.

You're kidding yourself if you think the fundamentalists will stop at the states.
>> This is exactly the point for me. Roe V Wade embraced a court that decided that judges could/should legislate (that is, make new laws) rather then enforce the text of existing laws.

> Weird because the courts striking down laws as unconstitutional is literally their job description.

Not really, because the question is actually "what makes something unconstitutional." Should the standard be "we nine unelecteds don't like it, and can read whatever we want into text that is actually silent on the issue"?

> Equal protection under the law would be my first pick for constitutional protection of abortion. There are very few life threatening things that the law compels men to do. Yet the law can compel a women to carry a fetus to term against her will?

That frankly doesn't make any sense. The law doesn't say that men are permitted to get abortions but women aren't, and the law clearly must be able to regulate things that one sex is incapable of doing (e.g. penetrative rape, and please don't waste time trying to argue the illustration instead of the point). Also, I believe most, if not all, anti-abortion laws apply to people other than the woman getting the abortion.
In fact that’s not really the argument being made.

If you listen to the pro-forced-birth side, they claim to be speaking for and defending the most vulnerable “people” (if we are to admit their premise) in our society. They are advocates for the innocent, and abortion needs to be illegal to protect their vulnerable rights. You can see them all over TV today and the internet saying just this.

In fact fetuses are not the most vulnerable “people”; they have significantly more protections than newborn children. Aside from guaranteed food and shelter, fetuses also have the full support of a political party and religious institutions.

Newborn children are guaranteed neither food nor shelter. In America, we even separate newborns from their mothers depending on their immigration status. We’ve even jailed children and put them on trial. Gun deaths are the leading cause of death for children and that’s a problem the pro-forced-birth party doesn’t want to fix.

So all this talk about “protecting the vulnerable children” is clearly just disingenuous. It’s not about protecting the vulnerable at all. It’s about a religious conservative powergrab and we know this by how quickly Clarence Thomas invites challenges to contraception and gay marriage, on the basis of the Dobbs decision.
I wonder how an iPhone version of this video would go. It definitely makes less sense cost-wise, but I feel like Apple just tracks a lot less stuff out of the box so it would be easier to lock down.
