While I think that these kind of things shouldn't require a company to take any action in, this isn't "going so far as" in a country where medical care is basically tied to your job. If your company guarantees medical care, why is paying for an abortion anyhow different?
But indeed I prefer a system of public health insurances which keep these matters independent of your employer.
> I hope that whomever supported this ruling is happy right now, and I'd like to remind them that, while Jesus Christ never gave to abortion the slightest mention, he was quite vocal about the fact that greed was not compatible with salvation.

Maybe so, but apparently it's been condemned from the earliest times in Christianity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Christian_thought_o....

I don't really know the Bible, but I'm guessing Jesus probably didn't spend a lot of time condemning literal murder either, so it's probably not safe to assume that means he thought preventing greed is more important than preventing murder.

11k probably isn't enough to provide much by way of public health or education anyway once you buy all the essentials, I was just making the point that the number includes government spending so if you increase that you lower the amount of income each person will get.
Which was wrong, and will ideally be overturned. "Racists supported gun control in the past, therefore we should keep gun control now" is perhaps not the strongest argument one can make.
>> Equal protection under the law would be my first pick for constitutional protection of abortion[..] Yet the law can compel a women to carry a fetus to term against her will?

But wouldn't that introduce the issue of whether or not the foetus should be entitled to equal protection (which most anti-abortion voters would suggest is a child and should be protected/have rights)? Seems odd to make it a man/woman equality issue.
It’s not “being conservative”. It’s “commenting on the topic of the post”

But which technology market is a legally defined “monopoly”? Before you mention the phone market,
that was already adjudicated during the Epic trial and found not to be the case.

As far as “everyone agreeing that capitalism optimizes for monopolies”. The car market has been around for over a century, is it a monopoly? The computer market? Exactly which market around technology is a legally defined “monopoly”?
I mean it's got to be something; if it's not (a) human, then what could it possibly be?
aah, so as long as something happened though a democratic process it's fine and dandy and no examination is needed as to the possible consequences of that decision?
Ah, sorry. I entirely misunderstood & misread what you were saying.

But in that case you'd still have the same collision, as surely what you're producing a collision for is the tree or blob object(s) you're asking to be merged in, as opposed to the hash for the commit object (which will change as you amend it). No?
Not really. Most of the states literally had state religions. Almost all of the founders were religious and wrote about it. John Adams even said the Constitution was only fit for a religious people.
I hadn’t heard of Cliq. Do you have lots of experience with it? What do you think of it?
I would think programmers of all people can understand complex problems do not have simple solutions. There are variables to weigh, numbers to be analyzed.

And that’s not even getting what is “good” and “bad” and if a laws purpose is to outright outlaw them without thinking of other measures and consequences.
I don't know, you'd have to ask the police why they keep funding their police department with seized assets from people without trial or even suspicion.
> there are problems that are solvable by throwing a lot of human-hours at it (“Hard Work”), and problems that are not a function of raw work hours, but rather require dealing with ambiguity (“Difficult Problems”)

There's also the 3rd category of the hell of work that is easy, ambigous, but just uses up a ton of mental space to work through that mushy ambiguity. I'd solve difficult problems all day, can stomach doing hard work when its requirements are clear, but god keep me away from the hell of "death by a thousand papercuts" in the marshes of easy-but-mindspace/time-sucking quai-ambiguous problems...

Clarifying ambiguous requirements at least is rewarding when you achieve that clarity and help people understand what they actually need. But there's hellish work that is just unclarifiable before doing this, you just have to crawl to that mud of trivial but not-so-trivial-that-you-can-think-about-something-else-while-doing-them... 100% better to work a garden or serve in bar than that!
Generally this argument holds very little water beyond making a gotcha-style bad-faith argument.

People understand that murder is illegal - but life isn't just two states. Alive or Dead. If we were living in 20,000 BCE then maybe we could be forgiven for thinking this way, but we live in an advanced, modern, (presumably) ethical civilization where life is about flourishing and giving everyone opportunities to thrive.

Focusing on the fetus's rights, yet condemning children to a life that's designed from the start to prevent flourishing is the conundrum people are referring to and pointing out the hypocrisy of.
1. Yes: the RSA key (as encoded by Mega) is the tuple (p, q, d, qInv), and the only thing we corrupt is qInv. It doesn't matter (in this first attack) how we corrupt qInv! We flip any bit in an AES block that corresponds to where qInv would be in the encrypted key, so that when it's decrypted, the 16 bytes of that block are completely randomized. It doesn't matter what value qInv takes, and the value doesn't have to be consistent.

2. I think that's right. I keep making the point about q's size because it's part of why, in the successful RSA decryption case, the SID extracted is 0: our guess for q isn't zero, of course, but a giant chunk of the bits of m are going to be padding, because q doesn't come close to filling m.

3. This gets into the details of RSA-CRT, where you take m_p (mod p) and m_q (mod q). The m_q value, by definition, doesn't wrap the modulus q; it's less than q. :) I don't have a high-level way of explaining why this cancels out the qInv part of the calculation, though you can see it pretty clearly in the paper; it just works out that way algebraically (in a "ninth grader" sense) from the RSA-CRT equation.

And yeah, it's a number, "left padded" by a whole bunch of zeroes. That's what the paper means by "m is hiding in the padding" --- our guess for q is part of the decrypted message, and it isn't zero, but it doesn't land in the part of the message the Mega client tries to scoop the SID out of. If the Mega client had checked the padding, which is something you're absolutely supposed to do (also, you're supposed to use a real padding scheme, not just zeroes), you couldn't get away with this.

4. Yep, in this first attack, the whole point of faulting qInv is to create this difference of behavior.

And yeah, you should absolutely implement a model of this attack in Python or whatever. You don't need any of the networking stuff Mega is doing, or any of the encoding. It won't be hard! This is a pretty straightforward attack. I'll probably take a whack at it this weekend.

I hadn't seen 'pbsd responded to this, but, of course, "what he said".
I did many years of 4 day work weeks, although I was hourly (and doing a "less skilled" labour type job). It was pretty much a 24/7 type operation, so everyone would have four days of work in a row, but would be evenly distributed throughout the week. Everyone loved it. It was 10 hour days (40 hours a week) vs a normal shift which would be 8 hours (but 5 days a week). That extra day off a week is totally worth the extra 2 hours a day.
It's a very good article but I'm sure that the writer would agree that whether you want or need to remember history or not depends on the use case. Philosophically it is often better to forget. It's a way of dealing with change. Forgive and forget. On the other hand "those who dont' understand history" and so on. Also a lot of the time we really don't care about the previous states of something because those states are of no use to us now. We just care about what we can do with it now. We cannot go back to the past to use the thing so the past state of something is useless to us. This starts to break down in a virtual world where the past state of rest of the world could also be stored and so you could make some use of the past thing in that past virtual world. But most useful virtual systems are linked to things in the real world which we can only use in the present.
That's just how RSA works, via Fermat's little theorem: e * d_q mod (q-1) = 1, so m^(e * d_q) mod q = m^1 mod q = m.

Yanis Varoufakis elucidated it pretty well recently: Crypto won't form a revolution because we haven't changed our own institutions, our relationships and so on. That is what changes in a revolution.

I've "discovered" it long time ago. Basically if I feel hungry but do some activity instead of eating the hunger disappears. Does not work on long cardio activity though. Anything longer than 2-3 hours (assuming it is not a leisure walk) exhausts my reserves and makes me hungry for real.
Define "pro-life" as "no abortions ever" and it's a minority opinion. Define "pro-choice" as "abortions at any stage of pregnancy for any reason" and it's a minority opinion. Saying your side is the clear majority on this issue proves nothing other than you are in an echo chamber.
More than 60% of the country wants roe levels of abortion rights. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2019/08/29/u-s-public-c...

It can't happen because 30% of republican primary voters are evangelicals, so every republican will vote against abortion protection, even if most of their constituents want it.
I once worked on a video game that was translated into many different languages for free by passionate community members. Since the game was frequently updated, eventually it made sense to give these "community translators" early access to new text. Also it made sense for them to provide their translations in a form our pipeline could consume. Voila, they have unpaid jobs.

I skipped a bunch of steps there, but basically through no malicious intent on anyone's part, people's passion was leveraged into making them work jobs with expectations and deliverables. Of course they were free to not do the work, but they'd be letting their community down if they didn't.

At that point we had an internal discussion about the ethics of the system, and wound up deciding we should pay them.

2nd amendment is a right codified in the constitution. Abortion is not in the constitution, which is what this ruling states. If congress wants to legalize abortion, then that's their job...to make laws. The supreme court does not make laws.

The modern-day Evangelical Christian voting block does not have Bush Republicans. Not by a long shot. Bush made overtures to Hispanics[1], that simply can't happen today.

"For a lot of them, killing one human being (not in self defense) to save another is still on that list; because only God is allowed to end life."

Horseshit, or the religious conservatives would also abolish the death penalty federally. Instead, the more Republican states tend to be the ones who wish to expand the death penalty. Look at the history of the death penalty in Texas, and who has historically been "eligible" for it.

It's all about control. These people believe America to be a "Christian" nation first and foremost. Their ultimate goal is to push America into that direction.

I believe within the lifetime of my generation's kids, we will see a push to repeal the First Amendment, at least the religious part of it. Although knowing how American Christians have historically handled freedom of speech, more than likely they'll try to gut the whole thing.

In the United States a warrant is sufficient for a compulsory blood test to check blood alcohol levels. 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.

Morally however, I also do think it's wrong to not give the blood transfusion because the burden is small and the cost of not doing so is large. Whether it rises to the level of murder is a tougher question that I think would depend on intent.

when you say platform teams are dead, do you just mean the part of the team that mangages platform infrastructure?

My understanding with Platform teams is that its more than DevOps, its that a core set of engineers building a platform that the rest of engineering can safely (using that word in a relative sense here) build upon, e.g., I may as part of a platform team create core API services that are then exposed to product side teams to develop against, and we work with each other. This is essentially a productivity feature, because it allows for specialists to collaborate over their expertise, as opposed to having lots of full stack generalists managing their own slices of codebases, which results in shipping faster and higher quality product.
I work at a very young company, both by age of the company and average age of employee, and I'm super happy that we also have 2 developers with more experience, their perspective on tech, business and life is different and just really valuable.

It is a deficit of some younger people that they don't value other perspectives, and I think points to a bad work environment.

On Jun 6, this blog post was written https://medium.com/eudaimonia-co/how-america-collapsed-and-b... describing how the three-world split post World War II became a four-world-split now. You have Western social democracies as first, Russia and China on the wings as second, developing as third and the two fallen countries being USA and UK as fourth. Worse than the third. The trajectory is not upwards but down. This is but another step ... down. More will follow. And no, voting won't save you for multiple reasons: one, Democrats won both chambers of Congress and the White House and look what they have achieved. Two, Republicans are relentlessly rigging the vote. Three, soon they won't accept the results anyways.

All this to say: flee if you can.

How about "semi-automatic" then?
People hate to admit it but the court is just another political entity and always has been. The basis for Roe was weak (bodily autonomy, privacy). So is the basis for literally all gun control:

>> "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

So anyone, including children, the insane, felons etc has a right to bear "arms". And there is no clear limit to say that a gun is "arms" but a kilo of C4 or a ground-air missile launcher or a fully armed attack helicopter is not. In fact, in 2022 any militia that could be even slightly useful will need at least some air support. Yet SCOTUS has routinely banned these items from personal procession.

I say this not because I am some crazy gun nut or I think that those an actual right to bear arms would be a good idea.

I say it to point out that the courts job was always to rule what people wanted and what was practical was also legal. Just like a politicians job is.

Most people believe you are obligated to provide basic care (food, water, shelter). Anything above that is not an obligation and not murder. That is not to say you shouldn't go above that, but just that it is not murder if you don't provide anything above the basics.
On the other hand, not signalling your status will make some people feel entitled to disrespect you or treat you in a patronising way, due to their skewed social perception. Try attending some business dinner with regular clothes, to name an example. Some people out there are dying to buy the clothes you could buy but couldn't care less about.

I wish we saw more comparison between the US and Latin America in online discourse. There is an excess of references and analogies made to the emotionally salient topics of the US Civil War, the Civil rights period and Europe from 1918 to 1945 when discussing the current American situation and a dearth of comparison to Latin America. The frequent comparison of Trump to a dictator instead of to a populist president in the Latin American mold is an example.
