>I also think it’s pretty clear that, when one side believes abortion to be a totally unrestricted right despite never appearing in the constitution

The Supreme Court ruling on the Constitutionality of laws isn’t in the Constitution.

You’re describing a judicial philosophy (textualism) as if it were law, or some sacred edict from above. It’s not.

You’re pretending the “democratic process” isn’t broken. It is.

Remember: the legislature could have banned abortion outright, at any time. We didn’t need the courts to do that. It would just take an amendment to the Constitution.

Remember: a majority of people in the US want abortion to be legal. The court overruled that based on its own fetish for textualism.

It’s great that you want people to talk to each other. In the mean time, women will die.
One caveat I’ll add: even with the huge account of public and private money spent in this area, it can never be enough.

When something is free that everyone needs is there is almost infinite demand.

Why do you think that all is coming from the US?

https://www.statista.com/chart/27278/military-aid-to-ukraine...

25% comes from the US, but if you order by GDP(second graph), US is fourth. So overall a very big contribution, but far from "all". And about "negotiations" specifically, you're simply wrong - the ones keeping an open line with Putin (for zero gain so far) are Macron and Scholz (both say it's with Zelensky's approval, and he hasn't disproven them so they're probably not lying).

That’s the thing though- abortion isn’t risky and it’s important to point out medically induced abortion is a safe procedure that can be done at home. The only time we enter risk is when folks aren’t informed of these options, and when the baby is so far along that the child is very likely wanted and the termination is in cases of tragedy.

Frankly, I don’t think any of us get to pick and choose acceptable and unacceptable reasons to have a procedure on a body that isn’t one’s own. The problem with framing abortion as if the fetus is generally viable is that, generally, it isn’t viable. It’s actually normalized not to announce pregnancy until over 3 months in because spontaneous abortions are just that common. There’s no guarantee that any given pregnancy won’t result in an abortion anyways, and gatekeeping abortion will disproportionately harm everyone involved due to the intense trauma of having the choices of one’s body taken away from them for most of a year through no activity that is illegal or worthy of punishment.
Moving isn't free. I've done it, twice. And every time it feels like starting all over again.
Haven’t done any myself but when I hire people I generally treat them as a net positive for people early in their career because it gives them exposure to concepts that are relevant, but for more senior people it wouldn’t matter at our company.
I am hoping to address that, as best I can.

One must remember that ethics is philosophy that has only so much
traction where it touches necessity and survival.
It's not the first time I read a review from somebody, "it's great!", they say, and immediately after they start listing all the things that are not in fact great.

Reminds me of that meme that shows Brits using "it could be worse" to mean anything less than average, and "not too bad" for everything else, while Americans say "awesome!" for any kind of sentiment, good or bad.

I'm not saying OP is American, just that adjectives in reviews have lost most of their meaning.
The problem is that, as per usual, both extreme positions don't work. You cannot reasonably totally disallow abortions, and of course there needs to be some limit.

So we agree where the cutoff is. As in, we discuss in congress and find some point we can agree on. Perhaps using European democracies as a guide, where things range from up to 12 weeks after conception to 6 months after conception.

We could perhaps work "from first principles". Obviously abortion needs to happen after a woman knows she's pregnant. So, you should allow at least 1-2 female periods' worth (1 period = 4 weeks) + some time to schedule the procedure, which comes to that same minimum of about 12 weeks.

An exception is medically necessary abortion, which is even legal (and a fact of life) after the baby leaves the birth canal (a baby without lungs will stay alive as long as the umbilical cord is intact, for example. When you cut it, and you have to cut it, baby dies. Not much can be done. And this is not the worst example by far. Though it's natural, so you might say "Approved by God", by republican logic).

I must say this is one thing I don't understand about the religious position. Several abortion procedures are built into our genes (one relating to the immune system, one relating to the heart, one relating to the brain, and I doubt we've discovered all of them).

Either those systems work to a minimum standard, or your own cells (or the mother's cells) will abort you. So there are very practical reasons that "God" does abortions. The theory is that these systems exist, because it vastly lowers the time it takes to produce another child, increasing the rate at which your DNA spreads. This also exists in animals (most famously male lions' post-natal abortions when they take over a troup).
I'm not saying that.

I'm saying the mother has to do the things reasonably expected from her to keep the baby alive. Like feeding the baby, either using her own breast milk or a formula. Or like taking the baby to the doctor if the baby is sick.

If she does not do these things and the baby dies, then there is a lawsuit, and many times the mother (or care giver) goes to prison.

There are situations when the mother has to first take care of herself, like the famous airplane instructions "secure your mask first, then assist the other person".

Society does not expect mothers to endanger themselves in order to save the life of their babies. It only expects mothers to do the reasonable things to keep the baby alive.

Some people think that not aborting a baby is such a thing. Most pregnancies do not endanger the mother. Keeping a baby to term is not comparable with undergoing a dangerous surgery to keep a baby alive.

If the life of the pregnant mother is in danger, then sure, it is reasonable to advise an abortion.

But the idea that abortion is simply a matter of "personal freedom" is just too simplistic. There is another human being involved, a human being who cannot protect themselves any more than a one year old baby can protect themselves. Society has a right (and a duty) to step in and enact these protections.

Let me turn the question back to you: are you saying it is ok for a pregnant woman to undergo an abortion 2 weeks before term? If not, why not?

Where do you draw the line? I don't know for sure, but I can appreciate that this is not an easy problem to solve. Certainly not by simply waving a banner "My body, my choice", or labeling the issue "personal freedoms".
Probably something no one here wants to hear, but astrology is a big thing in India -- serious astrology, which is highly mathematical and historically goes hand-in-hand with advances in astronomy, not "sun sign astrology." I'm guessing that's not entirely irrelevant to there being this mnemonic system, though I don't know enough about India to support that suggestion.
> Government is not bound by what is scientifically demonstrated

You're implying:

something is scientifically demonstrated -> government is bound by it

What I said was:

government has bounded something -> it can be scientifically or logically demonstrated

> Hundreds, if not thousands of years of fairly consistent belief that life is sacred is hardly a whim

You're appealing to the populace. How long or who believes something has no bearing on whether or not it is true or whether anyone should care about it. People thought the earth was the center of the universe for a long time too. Also, something cannot be "sacred" universally, only conditionally.

Not disagreeing with you per we, but I will note that the author may be judging the tablet as compared to other mobile devices running Linux. With the exception of the PinePhone and a few other devices Linux on mobile devices is truly painful/broken in most cases (and in ways that make this tablet look almost fully featured...).
Congress should reflect the majority opinion of the population.

The maddening thing about this is these issues are all correctable by law, but most people (rightly, I think) don't believe the body with an 18% approval rating will successfully pass those laws.
Instead of using colors, a visualization that can be combined with branch colors would be nice. For example using bold for remote (“public”) commits, or dashed lines for local (“draft”) commits.
According to your own link, only 19% said they support it with no restrictions at all. That's a small minority; the GP is correct.
I think you are removing the act of raising a child which its success in today's world is purely monetary. If you cannot afford to feed yourself how are you going to afford the doctors, diapers, extra room, school, clothes, etc. etc. Strangers are not going to help raise the child, like back in tribe ages where there so many children that everyone in the tribe had a part. The social benefits from government when you have a child are abysmal even in the "good" states in America.

When discussing value of life people usually pick their preferred side. Do homeless people have a value on life? America treats homeless as garbage. What about disabled people?
That depends on how you define similarities. This ANN AIs are a complex version of a polynomial interpolation , you have some points from a measurements and you build a function to fit those points, so in the end you have a function with a giant matrix of data as a "knowledge" database behind.

But even with the human mind, I am 100% sure Microsoft would not like it if I read their precious Windows source code and then go and work on wine, they might claim that I did not learned from their code but memorize secret algorithms , or maybe would claim that I did not ask for permissions first.

Depending on which country you’re in, it’s possible to do a masters degree part time. I’ve known a few people who have done this. Even with a masters degree you’re probably not going to want to run around solo doing crypto protocol design though. These things are usually better done as part of a team or with years of experience.
Early in my career I stacked up certs. I’d usually get ones that were relevant to projects I was working on. I’d find sometimes (again earlier in my career) that I needed a combination of structured learning to complement concepts in large projects I was working on at the time.

This led to more responsibility and more pay but it took a lot of my own time. As I’m senior in my career now I sometimes wonder if it was worth it as a trade off for all of the certifications I earned.
Education, job experience, provable skill set.

Software development and certificates seems like it's not a perfect fit.

If it were for an industry that is heavily regulated, certificates make a lot of sense.

They're like small exams in highly domain-specific knowledge.

Well the way electrical is run isn't copyrighted and is, in fact, constrained by building codes.

That said, to my non-legal mind, I don't see Copilot as being that much different from taking a code block from a book or Stack Overflow or wherever to implement some function. Clearly there are some limits; Copilot probably couldn't lift an entire grammar checker or whatever. But people reuse function templates and the like all the time and no one generally cares. And I doubt most people upset about Copilot really want the copyright police scrutinizing every single line of code.

Note that for this property, you want edges to be reasonably close, but you also need to say that vertices are reasonably far apart: otherwise you could always get a "less tangled" graph by just shrinking it until it's too small to see.
> when those tools start causing structural unemployment (and that will happen soon enough)

Is this actually happening? Some years ago there were articles about neural networks which can find errors/interesting points in law documents or find tumors during cancer imaging, but did this actually replace any jobs instead of just being an additional tool?
As a hiring manager, I treat AWS certification (professional especially) as relatively a good heuristic. It does not replace hands-on experience of course, but it has good correlation with good hands-on ability.

Another one that will catch my eye is any Kubernetes certification.

Both are great additions to experience, the certification itself has much less value standalone, but it might be the edge that will help someone get that entry level job.

(These are common for DevOps engineers, but a SWE with the above will have an edge in my book)

The book The Hard Thing About Hard Things has a chapter on firing.

Simplifying a lot of detail - managers have to fire their own people. Don't delegate this, no outsourcing, don't tell the sadistic one to do it.

The head has to address the companu, admit that it's their mistake. They overhired, they didn't hit sales targets, they had scope creep. Whatever it was tha led to this. Ideally the CEO. Then don't avoid them, be present, show that you care.

I had a friend who had to deal with a mass layoff. She told people that everyone is replaceable (more to protect her feelings, not theirs). She is no longer a friend.

Do be clear. You can be apologetic, but make it clear that the decision has been made (no "I think"). A sharp knife hurts less. It shouldn't sound negotiable.

Do protect the reputation of those laid off. Often they have more good than bad if they weren't fired immediately. You do owe a reasoning to those who worked under them - if you don't, they may gossip and speculate. Let the laid off person decide what the story is.

Then you do have to offboard them and escort the right people out, especially managers. Have that severance package ready, have security escort them as they clean out their desk and walk them out of the building.
Who said they had no interest in overturning Row v. Wade? It was very clear they wanted it overturned from the beginning.
I avoid using git command line for all the reasons above

Personally I use a UI for git which basically solves all of these problems. All the branches and commits are visible. If you want something somewhere, right click on it and you'll get all the available options. Nothing to memorize and everything is available!

My own favourite after testing out a few is SmartGit, but it's paid so not for everyone. There are lots of free git UIs out there as well, but what I like about SmartGit is that it's completely full featured - every obscure git command is available somewhere - so I have never ever need to use git command line when on my local machine, not even for these obscure things like resets, rebase, cherry pick, squashed commits, etc you name it.
Also SmartGit is cross platform so I can use it anywhere
It would be interesting if the Author instead turned in a less-effort, sloppier documentation that just stuck to the haphazard bullet points, to provide contrast to their optimized work. The issue with making complex things simple is just that - it looks so simple.

I suspect it's a linux "enthusiast" thing, rather than an american thing.

Virtually every thread about linux on laptop starts out with someone claiming that it runs perfect on this or that hardware, then 20 other people chime in with all the things that actually don't work on the same same machine, and finally the original poster concedes with some weasel statement along the lines of "well it works for me". And the year-of-linux-on-x circle of life continues...

For a fair comparison, what percentage of meat bought in US grocery stores follows the most basic German butchering standards?

It's true that any given German grocery store has fewer choices than any given US one, but extrapolating that to "there are no choices" is absurd. Germany has more choices of grocery store, and in both countries if you really want good meat you go to a real butcher (definitely not Whole Foods) anyway.

Your comment about universities must be a joke, or your social circle lacks any kind of discrminating ability. I've had multiple conversations with a dozen Germans about exactly this topic in the past month regarding our recruitment/hiring practices.

Not only is there work in this area, it's a not a leap at all. A minor application of critical thinking and logic makes cause and effect pretty simple. This has always been about forcing personal feelings onto others. We make a giant show of being anti-choice and then talk down to the poor and point out the issues in poverty stricken areas to make ourselves feel better, ignoring the clear evidence that this is a self fulfilling issue.

This was fun but I'm going to go back to getting the hell out of here, literally. I have packing to do.

Medical information has other relevant concerns besides who "owns" it. As a matter of fact, it can be hard (if not impossible) for an individual to receive a copy of their own medical records. There are privacy concerns that simply don't often apply to the types of data which are usually referred to as "intellectual property" (software, music, movies, literature).

"Intellectual property", as a term, also serves to further layman confusion on the topic. I can't count on all my appendages the number of times I've spoken to an average person (whether in person or via the internet) where they've said something about "copyrighting" a business name or other trademark. Let's call "intellectual property" what it really is - copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Each of those has a completely different framework of regulation and philosophy, and it doesn't really serve us to lump them all together into one term for most productive discourse on the topic.

Not true. Linux on BayTrail hardware is pretty much rock-solid by now (at least if you're running Fedora-derived distros). The thing is it can take many years to get to that level of support. It's absolutely normal for newly released hardware to be broken in many ways.

These days I doubt Microsoft would care much. But to your broader point, yes, that's why you do clean room implementations of public APIs. If you've never seen an implementation, you can't really be accused of copying it.

This is really different though in that this code is all open source. The argument is that sufficient code is being verbatim copies so as to be a derivative work.
As a person who has tried setting up Linux like 5-10 times over the years this sounds exactly like my experience and basically what I assume Linux use is always like.
