Like all rights, I see the Constitution forcing a balancing of state interest vs. individual liberty here. No right is absolute, and the Constitution outlines some examples of basic rights and their limits.

4A is pretty good at this. People have a right against unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause. While the state's interest is implicit here, it's obviously law enforcement. This balances the state's interest in enforcing laws with the individual right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

In Griswold, the Court couldn't justify the state's interest in enforcing anti-contraception laws given its necessary invasion of privacy. Other concurrences found the right to privacy in other Amendments (the 9th and the 14th), but regardless of where you look, all of these Amendments lay out an individual liberty vs. a state interest.

Courts are faced with the unenviable task of taking a > 200 year old document and applying its precepts to a world that would bewilder its authors. Different philosophies try to do this in different ways; Scalia famously pushed originalism, but even he essentially writes out slavery, Native American disenfranchisement, and the chattel status of women in the 18th century, and other originalists are even less consistent.

Other justices look for the core liberties ineffably and imperfectly silhouetted by the Constitution--a document defining the most free nation ever yet made--in order to keep the flame of liberty burning. What originalists miss about the Constitution was that it was an extremely radical document. If we are to be consistent with the spirit of the US at its founding, we have to preserve that dedication to liberty and human rights.

Should what was once the beacon of liberty be tethered to what liberty meant 250 years ago? Is that a fitting destiny? Would Madison or Jefferson be proud of such an outcome?
> Nobody that supported this ruling except the deluded give a damn about life or whatever they were preaching.

This is just straw manning the other side's position to the extreme.

> If they truly cared about the unborn, they would

Neither of those are logical implications of being against late-stage abortion, and you don't get to tell others what they should care about.
No, much older than that and a short story I think. Probably either Asimov or Clarke.
When you look for job in OCaml, you can find several fintech and blockchain related companies.
This is surprisingly unexpected to me given that we know how the _opposite_ is true if you replace "wearing flash clothes" with "being pretty". Perhaps there's something to be said about natural beauty vs artificial beauty?
Perhaps you are correct, but my point was simply that we don't really know since we can't make a 1 to 1 perfect computer simulation of an entire human nor can we fully define it mathematically for an arbitrarily powerful computer. At least not that I know of.
So what you are saying is that there is a huge gray area between a clump of cells and a child being born? Maybe even that pregnancy starts out nearly 100% a bodily autonomy issue and culminates in the life of a child?

Sounds like a good argument against allowing late term abortions, and a good argument against banning them outright.
Saying the title could be "a bit clearer" is going too easy. The title is patently false. They did not approve a 4-day week at all.
EFF's Statement on Dobb's Abortion Ruling
Howdy there.
I create transcripts for executive board meetings; providing live comprehension assistance for someone like this has been a thing I've mulled occasionally, as it would be nice to do something meaningful when I'm not detailing the intrigues of the corporate elite.
If you'd like to discuss it, feasibility on my end would be primarily determined by your meeting frequency and duration — I don't have to keep any particular hours for my primary transcription work, but I deal with high volume. Rough estimate for availability: if you're in Teams meetings with your colleague fewer than 6ish hours a week, that could be tenable. If that fits, I'm very interested in seeing if I can help y'all.
I have a blockbuster video t-shirt that gets lots of laughs. Are we allowed to advertise already bankrupt businesses?
If this was really about unborn children, their solution would be to make contraception as widely available as possible and same for Plan B and methods to detect and eliminate pregnancy as early as possible. The life begins at conception crap is just plain nonsense.
The companies bidding for the work would also be private industry. Wasn’t the entire idea to remove private industry from government?

Do you really think the government has the competence to create software? How many decades has the US government been trying to modernize the IRS? Do you remember the original ACA website rollout?

Not only do you have to hire developers, you have to hire project managers, retrain employers, etc.

Are you going to also create data centers to create what’s available in the public cloud? You need to make those redundant across regions, are you going to force open sourcing of control plane software?
How it compares to other sorting algorithms? For example, timsort
To be consistent would require flagging various popular posts today too.
> You should be able to trust a court to make a decision based on the law, not their personal preferences.

The role of a court is to interpret law. While not preference, but "opinion" is entirely the point of a court.
Looks very nice. Are you planning on releasing native mobile app versions?
> I can't fathom this.

I'm told that in northern Europe you could leave your laptops or whatever in semi-public places (like, cafès I suppose), and if you come back after a few hours it would still be there.

Can northern Europeans confirm or deny this?
A pre-signed Bitcoin transaction is a bearer instrument, just like a Casascius coin or dollar bill. Your understanding of the Lightning Network is flawed.

"I guess they do care about putting woman back in the kitchen as indentured servants more than they do about social justice"

Just poor women. Rich women will still be able to travel out of state (and out of country, if need be) to get an abortion.

They'll also be able to hire a maid, cook, and nurse to do all their household chores for them.

It's the poor who will be most screwed, as usual.
They are called wild fires because they burn in "wild land". It doesn't describe whether they were started by one human, one government or a lightning strike. It contrasts with fires in villages, towns and cities where what's burning is mostly human constructed.
The way I see it, throughout history I'm sure millions of people have just gone crazy by the everyday burdens of life. We might have more availability to forms of therapy but in the end it's up to you to balance your life. Soul controller.
But it is legal to kill women suffering sepsis from having to keep a fetus that has died without getting a D&C.

It's legal to force a raped child to carry a pregnancy to term even if they will suffer lifetime damage or fatal injuries.

It's legal to force a raped child or woman to carry to term a child that is the result of incest and may suffer a lifetime of genetic damage and disability.

It's a nonsense argument that is premised of the falsity that a fertilized ovum is somehow a "child". It is not.
I'd better watch or the two of you will tell someone else to write a funny comment and then use that as evidence for how hilarious you are.
Thank you for the feedback but I’m going to wait until it’s published in the respective App Stores.

One piece of feedback for you and your org: the whole mobile v2 process was not very transparent from the outside. I tracked the ticket from time to time but gave up after a year as no visible progress was being made. Maybe that happened in some Atlassian forum, which to be blunt I’m not going to create an account for simply to read a thread.
If anything, reflecting on the stress and violence of our collective ancestors should only further strengthen the desire to do better by supporting things like "enforced women’s rights". Was that your point?
We recently switched from Gitlab issues + Trello to Linear. The reason was mostly that issues were spread out over multiple repositories and if an issue scope spanned multiple repositories it was always unclear where to put it. With Linear we have one source of truth, review our board of issues at the beginning of the week and don't have to worry about Gitlab issues staying open while the Trello card was archived.

On top of that it is super fast and a joy to use.
I think it's pretty easy to think of reasons:

1. They drive to work and erroneously assume their customers also arrive by car

2. They're more likely to be old and dedicated to a car-centric society

3. They're more likely to live in outer boroughs and don't care much about neighborhood walkability

4. They heavily protested the changes and are invested in the idea that it wouldn't work

5. The minority of their customers who do drive are very loud. They hear them complain whenever they come in and so erroneously assume they're representative.

6. Self-reports are generally unreliable and inferior to actual measurement

I think I could probably think of more, if I had to.
Side note, I never thought I would see the federal government give authority back to the states.

It's almost mind-blowing considering I've spent my whole life observing the push to federalize everything: Healthcare, College, UBI, Transportation, Wages, Firearms, Infrastructure, etc...
Ya that's a really good point and I think about it often.

Look at Iraq, the cradle of civilization, the seat of Babylon. And Egypt. And even Greece to an extent. Former glories of the world but they aren't the most glorious places in the world now.
Looks at racial break-down of abortions. Rereads parent comment.

Absolutely. No scientist was going to be able to convince these people that their pastor is wrong about how precious a fetus is.
Ahhh, it is in fact “on the blockchain” yet. The sats are in the channel, and there is a channel establishment tx on chain, all before a single millisat is sent.

As a non-American, non-Christian, I find the entire fiasco quite weird. Like a lot of cases in the US, why don't they address the core issue? If rape is so common, how about punish the rapists like other advanced countries do? Yes, including the death penalty for serial rapists or repeat offenders.

The housing market is a perfect example of illusory scarcity. There are more empty homes in the US than there are homeless people.

Our economy favors real estate owners maximizing their profit from owning property, regardless of how inaccessible that makes housing to a large portion of the population.

You are aware that the US position was maximalist and far in excess of all but 4 European states?

Or that this doesn't actually make abortion illegal?
If the person purchases goods or services with, or holds said token during a period in which a government devalues or confiscates their other stores of value to a greater degree, then I think it’s fair to say they are less oppressed.
What if you think the only political problem worthy of resolution is politics itself? That is, the two wolves and a lamb voting on who is for dinner model expanded up to encompass 7 billion dumb apes. I would argue the only thing worth caring about is that they can't vote that you're for dinner. It doesn't matter how many other people are along for the ride or back happily engaging in the prior game. Getting people to change sides can't be a part of the problem by definition because if a political solution were actually possible then we would not be where we are.

The only problem to solve is insulating yourself from the demonstrably awful global political process. And ledgers which that political process can't change are arguably an essential part of that solution.

If states and the political process didn't exist and you had to actually pitch it as a business model to modern venture capitalists, it would be a near impossible task.

So your customers are just some group of people inside the borders of some contiguous territory over which you exert direct military control?

And you claim no duty to that group and despite a demonstrable failure in basically everything you do relative to the traditional form of execution, you demand a pricing model that amounts to some permutation of "tell us how much you made and spent this year, great now we want a cut of x out of it".

And all your customers have to do to evade your business model is leave?

And you only transact in tokens you continuously create out of thin air with the thinnest imaginable pretexts?

And last century when this was tried it was the largest non natural cause of death?

And your failure mode may provoke an extinction level event?

Why would anybody actually participate in any of this for any reason other than they have no viable alternative whatsoever and thus you end up with a self selecting group of participants who consume more economic resources than they produce? Apple pie and baseball is not an acceptable answer. Isn't economic collapse basically inevitable?

Oh that's where we are now back in the real world? Well that's inconvenient. Better get to building alternatives asap.
The militia is defined in both statutory and common law as essentially every able-bodied male, and always has been in the US. The statutory law explicitly recognizes that the militia is not something you "join" but is something you are.

Obviously this should probably be expanded to include women generally, but their 2nd Amendment rights are not predicated on their membership in the militia.
> If we accept that proving guilt in court is an appropriate reason to violate bodily autonomy than so too would saving the life of someone who's been endangered by your actions.

But we haven't decided that saving the life of someone who's been endangered by your actions is an appropriate reason to violate bodily autonomy. That's the whole point, society has decided that you can refuse to give the transfusion, even it leads to a death you essentially caused.

There is no answer of "when life begins". It's a game of semantics. Like Diogenes bringing a chicken to Plato, any set of traits you can give me to define life, I can find an exception that destroys your definition.

Therefore the question should be "when is it ethical to terminate a fetus". Pro-choice voters have different answers for this question. The problem is pro-life hardliners who refuse to play ball whatsoever. They believe life begins at conception with no basis other than religion.
classic fallacy, you've chose a window of time where the arrow points down. there are many other windows of time where the arrow points up. besides value, the operative word is "store", as in, store it another 5 years and see which way the arrow points then.
In my opinion, analysis is wrong. I used think this way, but after spending a year in self hosted PaaS product, it was very clear that people didnt want a product like this. When you pitch to a customer they love the idea but when real implementation start shaping up, you start building leaky abstraction on top of the cloud providers. The customers have to build infrastructure your way or it is high way. Terraform is already an abstraction, terraform modules starts breaking the onus is on your. Cloud providers api breaks onus is on you. Building abstraction on abstraction starts becoming leaky. So, self hosted paas like this has a smaller TAM than what you think it is.

Where is model really works is what companies like Railway and render has done. You also own the compute and storage and retail that to end users. Your potential end users would rather prefer easily to use cloud provider than going to AWS and setting up PaaS on top of that. Your potential customer has got the time and effort for that.
Do you have stats on views of abortion by trimester? Here's [0] one from last year, which finds that 54% of people think third trimester abortions should be illegal in all cases - (EDIT: presumably) including health of the mother - and 65% think most or all abortions should be illegal in the second trimester.

> Some companies have even gone so far as paying for abortions. That's disgusting. It reveals that The Man doesn't want women's productivity to go down and would rather work them to the bone instead. Out of the kitchen and into the office? Might be a bad deal.

Or it could reveal that abortions, even in the best circumstances, cost money -- time off of work and travel expenses for example. Perhaps these companies support women having access to it regardless of their economic status.

It'll blow your mind, but some companies even allow employees time off to vote in elections, partially for the same reasons.
Why shouldn't pregnant women deduct these "children" from their tax obligation like any other child? Especially after Roe is overturned. Surely a pregnant woman counts as a caregiver to these "unborn children" and entitled to a tax credit?

That would help the children these voters are so concerned about!
What's your math on that? Current block reward is 6.25 BTC which occurs on average every 10 minutes. That's 52594 BTC per year. The max outstanding BTC is 21M (there are currently just over 19M) so that would be less than 0.25% annual inflation. Pretty sure there aren't many currencies (if any) that are at that rate, even before the current high inflation rates.

If you're factoring in the price, over the last decade, it has been one of the best (if not the best) performing asset, so I think from that perspective it's actually deflationary.
Rekt News Feed
Given that they're so thin, can they be seen by the naked eye? I'm thinking of a spider's web.
This. Kudos for pointing out irrational arguments from "your" side. Too many political arguments end up in tribalism, where all that matters is loyalty-signalling.

Btw, I agree with you. I believe women should be free to choose until the fetus is able to live independently of the mom.

This is because I don't think a 3 month old fetus is equivalent to a person.

But IF you agree with the premise that a fetus is a person, it follows that they should have the same negative rights as other people (freedom from being killed, for instance), that does NOT mean that the person has to think that every person should have a large set of positive rights (ie rights imply that tax-payers should provide welfare for all people).
I use NetNewsWire to subscribe to blogs, YT channels, subreddits, newspapers, podcasts... basically anything I follow that has an RSS channel (if it doesn't, I'm almost surely not going to follow it).

I really like the Ars Technica model, where they have short snippets available in the public RSS feeds, but also provide feeds with full articles for paying subscribers. I don't like to leave the comfort of my reader for the discomfort of a web browser (they're all terrible).
Subjective self experience is mediated through chemicals and electrical signals in the brain. Can the same not be said about a neural network’s activations?

New Yorkers are incredibly mannered, people return items in the subway that people drop or leave behind all the time.

The issue with finding lost items is that people would usually leave them at the police station, if you're familiar with the NYC police department you would know they are one of the most corrupt and overbudgeted forces in the world.

For some reason theyre not returning lost items to people or actually interested in doing so.

They're really good at standing around and parking illegally though.
No, but we are moving from a 10:00-16:00 workday to 09:00-17:00, so we're theoretically going to end up working 21 hours rather than 20 per week. There's no clocking in/out, so I think it'll work itself out.
I believe it largely has to do with a widespread inability to cope with the fact that heaven doesn't exist. Death is in fact the end.
Thinking out loud what I've thought for awhile.

The Supreme Court is an unelected political entity. Can this be fixed?
Yeah this seems like a quite simple affirmation of states rights in matters which have not been explicitly deferred to the federal government. I was kind of hoping to find good discussion at least on hacker news but it's the same nonsense as every other back water shithole on the internet. At this point 4chan is having a more nuanced discussion :( I'm increasingly convinced we will see the US split - and to be honest after today I would be quite happy for that to happen since a large contingent of people don't seem to understand or even want to operate in the legal frameworks we have.
I think it's widely hated because its absolute hot garbage from a UI/UX. Slack is bad enough from a UX perspective (not necessarily Slack itself, since the UI is nice, but from an overall experience of "interrupt anyone anytime"), but Teams took the concept of direct messaging and instantaneous communication and then arguably made it more frustrating.
Search in SQL databases is a tough beast to get it right. And given that we support MySQL and Postgres both, it gets even harder to support quirks of both of them.

In enterprise editions, the only addition is Elasticsearch. But in our open-source version, we do have support for https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve. Although, it's in beta, we have a lot of customers using it.

I am wondering if you have tried using it and didn't like it?
Sustained Neutron Production from a Sheared-Flow Stabilized Z Pinch
That is extrapolating too far. Many (perhaps most?) voters are single issue voters. Saying that all Republicans support banning abortion is not accurate; some people are Republicans for the tax breaks, etc.
This is less giving authority to the States and much more taking away from the People.
> I would like to own a printer again

Just as a thought experiment, what about the other way round, where you could only rent a printer, fully serviced, as an appliance? Surely, this kind of business wouldn't be sustainable with this kind of tech with consumables running out every now and then, things breaking at any possible instance, non-replaceable consumables, etc. Follows, in addition to all this vendors are off-loading considerable hassles onto the "customer" (or rather, those who have no way around these offerings) to enable this scheme.

Suggested title for a fictitious article on the matter, "If the IBM 1401 had been built like a modern printer".
I'm not sure how one can call a woman carrying a child something other than "actively supporting/helping" that child. So this amounts to a hypocrisy where it's OK for the state to have power to force a person to keep another person[1] alive for ~9 months, but somehow wrong for the state to contribute resources to this effort.

I'm also not sure how giving the power to pry into people's reproductive decisions is somehow less state power than administrative power to distribute resources.

[1] That's accepting the argument that a fetus is technically a person, which can also be debated.
