What "science" says is that we can keep a fetus alive that had the misfortune of being born at... 24 weeks, I think? But the number keeps moving - it used to be 28.

So at least at some distance after conception, yes, medical science supports seeing a fetus as a human, with life of its own.
Right, so apart from semantics, I'd say it's the same question. I feel like the widely-presented pro-choice arguments simply make that assumption and then conclude, well there's no human in the womb so let's move on.

I'd like to probe into this assumption - and if with good reason the conclusion is that, indeed, it's not a human, then so be it. But it being a "naked", or poorly-supported assumption, irks me.

> hedonic adaptation pretty much guarantees that no matter what our position we will always want more

There's an Indian holy man, now deceased, who said we need to learn to practice "ceiling on desires". It may be that only the expression of our higher values can clear this logjam?

> so how this could happen without damage to the environment

One thought that occurs to me is if we could create a kind of split-level economy. There would be a real-world ecologically-informed economy that met basic needs as efficiently as possible. On top of that substrate we would have a computer-mediated virtual economy where there were no (or very few) effective limits on hedonistic adaptation (or status-symbol seeking, or whatever). It seems like we're seeing something like that emerge "naturally" anyway, eh? NFT & "crypto", in-game purchases, whatever FB's metaverse becomes, etc.

Eventually, people might submit voluntarily to enter "the Matrix": your physical body kept perfectly safe, and the only limits are your imagination? Not my cup of tea, but not insane on the face of it, eh?

Say a supreme court 50 years ago interpreted the constitution that woman did not have a right to vote. Then today the court ruled, the constitution doesn't actually state anything of the sort and overturns that past judgment.

In that case would you want the court to instead state, well a decision 50 years ago was made. So we wont change it. The US Congress needs to pass a law explicitly granting woman the right to vote. Such-as with say Minor v. Happersett, "Court held that, while women are no less citizens than men are, citizenship does not confer a right to vote, and therefore state laws barring women from voting are constitutionally valid"

A good court in a Democratic government must be objective in interpretation of law . And the system is such that it is the US Congress's responsibility to pass law.

I think it's almost impossible to succeed banning it nationally.

First of all as a wedge issue there's a certain percentage of independent voters who wouldn't allow that to happen.

Second there are Republicans who support abortion and make that a public stand.
> It should have been codified into law decades ago,

If its not a 14th Amendment right, what is the Constitutional basis for codification? An expansive view of the Commerce Clause? That’s…not going to fly with the same politico-judicial faction that would hold it isn’t protected by the 14th Amendment.

Codification is a sideshow.
Yes, I read that part. It's why I made my post. It appears to contradict the interview he gave 2 months ago. Again, unless I'm missing something?
For things like this (whether they "approved" it or are just investigating it or whatever), how does the ability of the government to legislate and regulate intersect with the rights of people to do as they please?

For example, if I make and sell widgets (i.e. I own a "company" of one), and I wanna work 6 days a week, can the government prevent me from doing that? If someone wants to work with me (i.e. join my "company") and I don't want them to (i.e. I won't hire them) if they're not also working 6 days a week like I am, can the government prevent me from refusing them?

I guess I'm asking why a city council is investigating this rather than companies themselves. Or rather than regulating, are they going to offer tax breaks to incentivize companies to adopt a four-day workweek? I'm just confused about what interest they have in doing this.

Disclaimer: I'm a fucking idiot and I have no idea what I'm talking about, just asking questions because I'm clueless.
That statistic seems pointless? Republicans won 3/8 of the last elections (bush x2 , trump x1) with 2 losing the national vote. So 6/8 rounds came through properly.

More importantly, there’s apparently only been 5 presidents elected where popular vote != electoral vote[0].

Based on this metric… everything seems to be working mostly fine, with no apparent bias?

Natural rights are a terribly shaky concept to begin with—hardly "real".
This is blatantly untrue to the level of fear mongering. The politician can’t do whatever he wants. The election simply moves from republican candidate against democrat candidate to the primaries where the top 3 politicians from the dominant party are running against one another for the nomination. If they adopted policies the majority of their party didn’t like they would be replaced by another member of the party in the next election.
I agree. They are not actually trying to reduce the number of abortions, they are taking a religious/moral position.
> There will never be agreement.

If you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. Can it be simpler?
Are you sure? That would be quite bad, I am no american, but I think if breaking the law and being caught would put you in the same spot of those not trying the law, it would be quite a incentive in trying to break the law, I think in order to make it fair there should be some penalty? Otherwise why other companies would not try to take the same approach and then just floor courts with this kind of lawsuit?

The relevant quote on the subject, from David Barnhart ( https://www.facebook.com/dave.barnhart/posts/pfbid0qt4dXV6kK... ):

----------------------------------------

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don't resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don't ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don't bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

----------------------------------------
> Yet people are more convinced by imperative implementations

I like and use functional and immutable but saying that's best is like saying a screwdriver is better. Sometimes imperative is cleaner. In a video, the creator of Scala, M. Odersky, said Scala allows mutability because sometimes it is cleaner.

As an SQL guy, I remember one time a cursor solution was cleanest and best.

Scala's librares have some string stuff which looks immutable but isn't, under the hood.

As ever, it depends.

> Or is it easier to reason about algorithms in terms of their operational semantics?

Good question. I'd say people think in terms of actions not mathematical functions. I certainly do. Imagine teaching an 8-year old. And it does map so well onto the underlying reality of fundamentally mutable hardware.
And the top comment goes to... a progressive pretending he can represent "the other side" while constantly taking side shots at them and stating that and why he doesn't agree with them... all with empty rhetorical gestures towards "moderates" and "compromise." Yep that sounds like hacker news to me: as little information and as much inoffensive pandering as possible.
Well, that's sorted then.
> You’re assuming the rest of the country shares your views. A large portion of America views abortion as murder.

Except the vast majority do support abortion. I really don't care what "a large portion" of America thinks, the majority thinks it should be a right but due to the way we cast votes for presidents we have the minority picking supreme court seats and thus giving us this decision.
Nobody is enforcing social views on anybody. The Roe decision invented a Constitutional right where one did not exist, and today's decision corrected that. Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg was on record saying that the decision was flawed!

The real tragedy here is that it took 50 years for this egregiously bad ruling to be thrown out. And despite your fear mongering, today's decision went out of it's way to say that it is not meant to apply to any of those other issues that you mentioned.

The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the Constitution, not to invent rights.
How did you even think there was one America?

That's the trap of America, All of the third world knows the type of logic America is founded on. Keep the servants weak so you can rule over them. They make the rules, and they make the loopholes. This sets the culture, which in turn creates morality. Unfortunately for them, we know their law is not based on ethics.

What choice do they have? It's an arms race.

While today is certainly a dark day for the US, that paints an inaccurately rosy picture of the past to make us look even worse than we are today.

Our literacy rate has never been higher, belief in evolution is at an all time high, more people have college degrees, and access to accurate information has never been easier. We are in a short-term downswing on many axes, but the long term trends are towards science and education.

You are absolutely correct that we are more polarized than we have been since the Civil War.
there was some article from New Yorker or NYTimes – with a quick google search I can't seem to find it at the moment.

but the thesis was basically: sports wear has often influenced mainstream fashion since even like 100 years ago.

but in each generation, people find it initially shocking to see so many people wearing what is marketed and made for sportswear for leisure, or even seeing it spill into the workplace. i think the article was focusing on leggings when they started creeping into non-sports-related settings.

one of the craziest counter-examples i've seen, from the anecdote you share about your partner, was when i saw a man dressed to the nines in a really sharp/ smart business suit, looking like he had a great haircut. but for his kicks, he was rocking Nike Vaporfly 2's, which are known to only have so much life in their foam specialized for distance racing. i personally didn't think it looked at all aesthetically pleasing, but because they were relatively expensive for running shoes, i'm guessing that the man decided to pair them with his high fashion look.

I think the big difference between this and the pen plotters I used for many years is that the latter can lift the pen. Even so, I could not take my eyes off the video of this little toy thing scribbling away so diligently. What a clever thing this is.

PS. the old calcomp I used back in the early 80s was quite fun to watch. For one thing, the motors were so strong that they shook the table upon which the plotter sat. For another, graphical terminals were quite rare then, so often you didn't know what the plot would be like until it started to be drawn.

this feels like semantics?

Catholic people will make catholic laws. They wont literally be catholic laws.. but common sense would allow you to see them as such. There's nothing wrong with that either. The state does not need to recognize them as catholic laws and requires the laws be articulated and produced independent of the religion.

you cannot make a law that says "You must treat the poor the way Jesus would" but you can make a law that says "You cannot refuse life saving medical treatment to someone for being poor". Under Separation of Church a State can still create their set of laws to be 1:1 with the teachings of their religion. They just have to actually do that.. make the set of laws. they cant say "follow rules in the bible". The laws supersede the bible. Make the laws match the bible if you want people to follow the bible. So that's what these states are doing.
The reality is that the vast majority of abortions are not done because of rape or incest.

> smaller proportions of women in 2004 than in 1987 said that having a baby would interfere with their job or career (38% vs. 50%), that they were not mature enough (22% vs. 27%), that their husband or partner wanted them to have an abortion (14% vs. 24%), and that they and their partner could not or did not want to get married (12% vs. 30%). In both surveys, 1% indicated that they had been victims of rape, and less than half a percent said they became pregnant as a result of incest. [1]

The large number of unborn children that have been killed because of them being perceived as an economical burden, or other personal reasons cannot be ignored. But you ignore all this injustice and make it seem like abortion is all about dealing with rape and incest, while these in reality only account for ca 1% of all abortion cases.

I’m saying killed because we still have a large portion of abortions happening in the second (10-15% worldwide [2]) and third trimesters.

The point here is that a woman’s freedom does not override her child’s right to live. But you seem to think otherwise.

I'm curious to ask some pro xhoice folks, respectfully, how they reconsile the fact that they believe abortion is murder, and also at the same time are seemingly pro military, war, and pro militarization of thr police.

I'm genuinely curious how those two world views can coexist in the same mind.

So a soldier who kills in the name of their country, even in a conflict that we can all agree was at best morally debatable, like the first Iraq war, or Vietnam. How is that different than a person getting an abortion to avoid a known bad outcome?

It's faaaar too early to try to get answers to those kinds of questions. What Zig's first stable release looks like still isn't fully defined, what is defined is not expected to be implemented, and what is implemented is not expected to necessarily work correctly. Zig is a really interesting project with a small community trying to make Zig happen but Zig is not, at this time, something one should be looking to compare daily usability on.

I love Zig myself but for these questions I'd say you'd need to hold off a minimum of 3 more years before you get really meaningful answers or come to any conclusions. In the meantime if language development/languages for fun doesn't interest you I'd probably not bother with Zig in that time.
