SMS has a unique advantage that no other channel has: No user onboard needed. Got a SIM ? got SMS.

I send lots of 2FA SMS for a number of banks here in Europe and they - because of the costs after PSD2[1] went live - want users to use their app for getting notifications as 2FA. They have launched several communication campaigns over the last 2-3 years, but only 30% of users have migrated from SMS to in-app notifications, mostly because they won't even install their app.

Then, we have uses cases where users don't have a regular relation with your business (p.e. e-sign for consumer goods financing on spot). In this case, I would say that SMS is the only channel you have to serve these users.

For better or worse, I do not see SMS disappearing anytime soon.

Traditional 401K or Roth 401K?
For American workers with access to these benefits, which 401K do you choose and why? I understand the differences between them, but curious how other people made the decision on which to choose.
And the Supreme Court. For each Supreme Court justice, have a look at the portion of voters who voted for the president who appointed them and the senators who confirmed them.
> Using a blockchain is literally trusting a third party. Blockchains require third party miners/validators to run the chain.

I disagree. I have to trust that at least 51% of validators (though smaller in other cases) are honest. That’s in no way that same as trusting that a traditional third party is honest. In some blockchain systems, you only have to trust that there is a single honest participant in the network. You can even participate in these networks to reduce the amount of trust you have to have in any part of the system.

These are very different trust assumptions to what we have today with large, centralized institutions.

You should read the actual opinion, and not the "summary" that this journalist put together. They didn't "ban the rights of states to decide how they apply gun laws". Simply that certain types of "may issue" permitting are at odds with 2A, because they deny Americans the exercise of an enumerated right for arbitrary reasons.

Permit Requester: I want to carry a pistol outside the home for self defense reasons.

Issuer: I don't believe your self defense claims are legitimate.

Requester: Why?

Issuer: I don't have to tell you.

SCOTUS enters the chat: This is no longer allowed.

There's a big difference in how you framed it, how that journalist framed it, and what actually happened. There is no hypocrisy here.
> >Gay marriage, which I enjoy, is not being "forced" on anyone.
Tell that to bakers.

> Tell that to bakers.

One of the most fundamental aspects of my life is being threatened, and you're worried about other people being offended.

Does my life offend you and are you using this proxy issue to more safely voice your opinion?

First, this isn't you. None of the people in this story are you.

Second, the gravity of my entire life being disrupted is far more serious.

Third, if we really want to be particular, marriage is a separate issue from commerce.
The whole point of cryptocurrencies was to use them for everything without converting to fiat currency. There should be no need to trade into or out of fiat in the first place. Everything that's wrong with cryptocurrencies today can be traced back to exchanges showing up.
I'd assume the GOP leadership in TX will act in bad faith or for their protection first. If you have a single female friend or associate this ruling will impact you. It will have far reaching consequences beyond just abortion access including the possibility of IVR becoming illegal as well. We're about to see a huge slate of medical procedures and practices caught up in this ruling.
Your company should provide better audio equipment for those users.
I'm sure there's some element of subjectivity, but at a minimum there's something to be said for "unfamiliar to the overwhelming majority of programmers". I think it's also very likely that OCaml's incredibly terse syntax (and terse naming conventions) is objectively difficult to understand from a "how the human visual/symbolic processing pipeline works" perspective, but I don't have the data to back that up (I also don't think OCaml is alone in this regard).
Most Christians agree that the Apostle Paul speaks authoritatively for Jesus (that's actually the definition of an apostle), and Paul said:

"Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor 10.31).
OH I'm projecting, I own an embarrassing amount of Patagonia clothing because it's really great.

You didn't say where you are, but many cities have Deaf and Hard of Hearing advocacy groups. You should reach out to them for resources for your teammate but also for you. They'll probably bend over backwards to help!

Also, unless your teammate is actively involved in whatever actions you take, you need to make sure they want help and that they communicate to you what they want help with. The last thing they want is an overconcerned workmate who gets in their business to "help".

This is a great point to emphasize in this thread, since it otherwise happens to focus on Catholicism. This cynical use of religion to grouns conservative policy in beliefs not adressable by normal public debate is not at all limited to Catholicism.
I agree that 'human life' and 'ensoulment' are linked, but I of course disagree on your casual dismissal of my question. Maybe I can ask another question:

If murder is wrong for the born, what about the unborn makes that wrong lesser?
While I personally have strong pro-choice views I think this was correctly decided for the reasons you state.

Abortion is a case where there is genuine disagreement among the public and at its core exists a genuine moral question. Most partisans talk past each other, but the core of it is about the rights of the unborn and at which point that becomes relevant.

It's different because of this from gay rights and contraception which don't have this other element in question (for contraception specifically those against abortion because of rights of the fetus should be in favor of easier access). It's also why European laws around this are more strict, Denmark allows abortion without cause up to 12 weeks and with cause after.[0]

It's better for these questions to be decided by states and democratic process than SCOTUS - the latter which we've seen cause extreme polarization. If you hold the view that the fetus at some point is a life with rights than the political activism here is consistent. Where this occurs I think is a legitimate question (big difference between zygote and day before birth).

There is a lot of bad faith, sloppy reasoning, and motivated reasoning arguing here from partisans across the board.

There are also real tradeoffs and young women will be the most harmed in states with bans because they have the least autonomy, but I can at least understand the strongest arguments from the other side [1]. Something like the laws in Denmark being passed at the congressional level is probably the desirable compromise outcome. At the moment at least SCOTUS thinks states cannot ban the ability to travel to a different state for abortions, the ability to exit is important.

well, voting majority - not exactly every citizen.

The US is an agreement. It is more comparable to the EU than it is Spain, or France, etc. Each state is meant to have autonomy relatively similar to a country, but are united together for purposes of national defense and human rights. that was the initial premise. it's expanded from there, but the constitution was a compromise.. states did not want to join the union just to transfer power from a king to a federal government.

The heart of the Republican platform is upholding that compromise. The heart of the Democratic platform is that was then, this is now, we are a single country and need to centralize more power.

> modern CPUs employ just as much FPism

Do you have some references where I could learn more about that?
I'm old enough to remember buying a mouse and having to install the driver that came with the mouse on a floppy disk. Once the mouse market agreed to a single interface standard (and again when USB mice appeared) the world got simpler. Any computer you could buy would just work with whatever mouse you happened to plug into it. You only needed a custom driver if your mouse had lots of extra buttons that no-one really needed.

I'm a little surprised that the same thing didn't happen to printers. I could imagine around 2005, Microsoft including a generic printer driver with Windows XP. This way, you could plug in any printer and it would just work, as long as the printer implemented that generic printing protocol, even if it were alongside their own printer interface.

Plug in printer. Windows detects device with generic printer interface. User prints document. Document comes out. User happy.

Oh sure, the printer would come with a CD that includes software that enables the "special features" of the printer. Digital cameras did this too. (Rule #1 of buying a digital camera: Throw away the CD that comes in the box. Break the CD just in case you're tempted that something on CD might fix some trivial issue you're having.)

At the same time, I'm not surprised that never happened. Those "special features", like shouting at you for buying the wrong ink, are just way too important to not have installed on people's computers.
I loved TIS-100 and Shenzhen-IO. I'm wishing all of them the best on whatever they endeavor to do next. :)
>I'd argue that where welfare of two beings is affected, you need to consider the rights of both.

if you consider the welfare of the whole population then, you'd be ok if we took some people without asking and "donated" all their organs and other useful body parts to those who could use them
Shopping with Buy Now, Pay Later Is Easy. Getting a Refund Is Harder
There is no way to tackle gerrymandering that doesn't ultimately end geographic representation. If you try to balance a map for every potential group, the end game is proportional representation. I think that's the bridge that people would be afraid to cross.
> Also, is it not the case that most Americans support some abortion rights? Thus, this could force conservatives to move center on the abortion spectrum in order to appease their constituents.

13 states have trigger laws going into effect with this. It’s not going to move the needle at all. The red states will ban it. Blue won’t. And it’ll still be a hot button topic in the reversed states. Red candidates in blue states will want to outlaw it. Blue candidates in red states will want to allow it.
Censorship-resistance == law-resistance. Rules for censoring are imposed by state entities or by private entities enforcing state-defined rules

Yes, I looked into this a few months ago. The cheapest I could find were 'robot' plotters that actually move across the paper. Not as accurate as I would like.

The alternatives seemed in the £100-500 ($120-620) range.
If that's not what you meant, then I don't understand what contradiction you're trying to point out.
Even though I generally like the sentiment, replacing the cat-5 cable with a newer one should be a pretty fast task, and wired ethernet always is better than wireless.
that's definitely true and there is some amazing work out there. But I doubt this is one of it.
Yuga Labs responds to “Nazi” allegations
Just because people don't share your worldview doesn't mean they're uneducated or that education is the way to change their minds.

"...at the end of the day nothing really matters..." is the exact kind of worldview that rural people would prefer stay in the cities. If by "educating" me, you want to make me into a solipsistic nihilist, you can keep your education to yourself.
> the people advocating for outlawing abortion are also convinced it's a rights issue: the rights of the unborn child.

Then authority shouldn’t be given to the states, right? Presumably those people will be proposing a federal ban soon, right?

This is a good take, actually. Especially in light of how so many corporations are using that strange design language with elongated/disproportioned bodies of people (I forget the name of it).

Creativity in this domain is undervalued.
I had a inkjet (bought for an Atari 1020?) printer in college.

Captain Pedantic checking in: the 1020 was the printer. Your computer was likely an Atari 800 or summat. The 1020 was also a plotter, and not an inkjet.
The constitutionality of the draft is debatable. Congress can raise armies, per the constitution - that doesn’t mean they can compel any individual to fight.
Yes. In fact, this ruling might well lead to an end of Republican majorities in red States, and to multi-decadal Democrat rule. Certainly that is likely if: a) public opinion is strongly in favor of some legal abortion, and b) Republicans ignore that and move to ban all abortions.

In 1992 Republicans ran on abortion and lost badly. In 1994 they ran on everything-but-abortion and won big. So there is precedent for them to lose badly if they overplay their hand now.

> That's libertarian BS that misunderstands moral beliefs about collective "how society should be" as individualist "what actions I take."

This is you dictating how I behave - which I find a much larger pile of BS, personally.

> It's also usually hypocritical, as I'm guessing you wouldn't be fine with rural county clerks going about not registering same-sex marriages, since it "doesn't impact you."

This is not fucking hypocritical - once is a personal moral belief, that a person is welcome to either choose or not (abortion). The other is a clearly defined job you have been hired to do.

It is not hypocritical to insist that you do the job you are being paid to do - even if you disagree with parts of it. If you disagree so strongly that you feel you cannot do the job - Great. Stop fucking doing it.
Big if true. I mean, I don't put anything beyond UK authorities these days, but even just buying readers would be a struggle.
Cash is fantastic for personal freedom, but for many reasons, cash isn’t a viable alternative in the digital age, especially as we move to fully digital, government-controlled money that loses all the freedoms that come with using cash.

Cash is also hard to move and secure in large quantities, which makes it impractical to self-custody.
Right, but in living/walking humans, we tend to prioritise right to live over many other rights. We don't euthanise children in adverse material conditions, for example. These get, or most people agree should get, state help, foster parenting and so on. "Let's euthanise the child" is not on any menu of interventions.
I mean no offense to you personally, it’s just one of my quests in life to dispel misunderstandings of this revolutionary technology.

That presumes candidates would campaign the same way and voters would vote the same way.

Look at the way primaries are run. Candidates put extraordinary effort into small states because that's where the party has decided it wants to have its candidates slug it out. They could instead choose larger states but they don't. Or the candidates could campaign in larger states but it would sink their candidacy --they campaign in order to extract maximum value. It's similar with presidential campaigns.
Both. My understanding is that they hedge against each other re. future income tax rates. (At least, 401k's and Roth IRAs. I'm not super familiar with Roth 401k's.)
Shouldn't it be the same for the US and Canada? Both are administered by NANPA. Last time I looked into this (early 2020), you generally couldn't get porting info for US numbers, though original issuer was public and easily accessible.
I won't make ad hominem attacks here but it's clear that you're privileged enough to not be impacted by this SC decision if you:

As explained by others your interpretation of data is wrong.

That doesn’t stop this falsehood from being repeated and it is one of many points of intellectual dishonesty that characterize the anti abortion movement.

Assuming you brought this to the discussion in good faith I would encourage you to reflect on your information sources because one side of this debate has shown a willingness to lie, mislead, cheat, and commit violence in support of their ideology. Personally I have found that ideologies that behave like that do so consistently and will choose to mislead to get what they want. That is a helpful heuristic for guiding how I interpret their arguments and attempts to support them with data.
I hope to god that regulation of interstate trade gets shot down, so California and New York can tax goods from red states into oblivion. That would be a poetic response to this egregious use of "state's rights."
Even better than a smartphone, mounting a DSLR at the prime focus on a telescope makes it really fun at star parties.

I went to a star party for some kids with my scope. There were a bunch of other guys there with scopes- all of them reflectors with hard-to-see-through eyepieces looking at faint blobs in the sky. The kids seemed bored. So I set up my refractor, installed my dslr (turning on Live View) and pointed it at Jupiter. You clearly see the planet and several moons around it. The kids thought that was great and one mom looked at me and asked... "Did you just show us the moons of Jupiter". I could see at least one kid look at it, look up at the sky, look at the telescope, and sort of put it all together.

The DSLR has better image quality, the image is falling directly on the sensor, the noise is very low, and there's a digital zoom option that works well.
I hear this a lot, but I personally don't get it. These games are the best part of my job (the problem solving) without any of the nonsense. Most games today are a grindfest that we convince ourselves is fun because it's happening in a beautiful virtual world.
one more drop in the uniqlo bucket.

i liked the free hemming on their jeans. and overall one-stop-shop for basics.

but jeans and shorts wouldn't last for a year in the seams. Even their pockets and buttons above the zippers would fail.

i haven't had that happen with other brands.

without making it a conscious choice, i just drifted towards other similar brands after consistently experiencing the quality of their materials.
You and maccolgan raise good points - the parent-child relationship is not the same as any other. But I'm not sure when parental responsibilities should start. E.g. you said "When you agree to sustain someone's life" - but when one chooses abortion, presumably one never "agreed".

And why would we need to define what a woman or a man is?!

Why does what gender, or sex, or pronouns have with body autonomy, and treatment under the laws?
On the contrary, it may well move the needle if Republicans overplay their hand and piss off the electorate.
Historically, those with obvious sterility (castrated men, impotent men, women without vaginas) could not get married. In the Catholic church, which still adheres to roman marriage laws, these are absolute impediments to marriage. In fact, permanent impotence is an impediment to marriage in many US states today. A marriage can be undone if the man was found to be impotent before the marriage was contracted, and the impotence is permanent medically.

Here's a Utah law firm offering advice on how to annul your marriage should you have found the man you married to be unable to have sex: https://www.isfma.com/law-and-order/when-ending-a-marriage-o...

Here's a review of case law in BC from the 2000s: https://disinherited.com/family-law-matters/annulment-for-no...

Scientifically, one cannot know if you're sterile until you've tried. There's no 'test' for sterility that truly works or that there hasn't been an exception too. Legally, once a marriage is fully consummated, it's more permanent than if it weren't. Historically, a marriage that was consummated could not be dissolved and was considered permanent at that point, so even if you later found out (usually after many years) that you couldn't have kids, the marriage would continue. Similar to how old people stay married.

I'm giving an historical view on marriage. Not saying how things should be. You seem incredulous at this view, but it was the prevailing view of marriage in Europe and the West for thousands of years.
Law covers many many fields, and we treat all of them differently. Just because multiple notions are covered by law does not mean we treat them the same.

Maybe we even treated some of them the same but certainly not today.

I would argue that, at least from some points of view, in the past, marriage was treated similarly to physical property. Thankfully we no longer do so.
It definitely seemed like they had done most variations of the idea, and they wanted to try something new. It is interesting that they don't want to try the new things under the Zachtronics names, but it also kinda makes sense, since their fan maybe has certain expectations from that brand? I definitely can relate to how making the same kind of game for 10 year can become tiring. The article also hints that some of them maybe want to try opportunities that has more room for growth than a small indie studio.

Definitely interested to see what they do in the future, the fact that it'll be under a different name doesn't really matter to me.

It's mostly a reference to a couple of earlier pieces, the more notably being by M.C. Elish and dana boyd, "Don’t Call AI “Magic”" (2018).

I'd submitted that as well, though this is the item that drew the HNiveMind's attention.

A federal abortion ban (or legalization) may be unconstitutional.

Depends on how effectively they can link it to interstate commerce or one of the other powers given to the federal government in the constitution.

Also depends on how the current supreme court feels about the commerce clause. I am not sure if they have ruled on anything involving that recently.
