I got up early this morning to take a look and try to get photos. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were spectacular and quite visible. I never did see Mercury, we had high humidity after rain last night and maybe that combined with the brightening dawn made it difficult.

Photographing these was a challenge. My widest non fisheye lens (18mm on APS-C sensor) just doesn't capture more than a couple of planets and the moon at a time. Saturn is way off high in the sky to the south while Venus, the Moon, and Mars are all to the east. I snapped off a panorama sequence but Lightroom wasn't able to automatically combine them so I'm going to be manually picking out control points in Hugin to try to get most or all of these into one image. I should have tried at least a couple of shots with the fisheye but I don't have much experience with that and was a little sleepy.
Someone should contact the patent holder and let them know they're being infringed upon. ;)
Pardon me, you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colora...

"In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled on narrow grounds that the Commission did not employ religious neutrality, violating Masterpiece owner Jack Phillips's rights to free exercise, and reversed the Commission's decision. The Court did not rule on the broader intersection of anti-discrimination laws, free exercise of religion, and freedom of speech, due to the complications of the Commission's lack of religious neutrality."
Didn't know that, jeez.

Imagine what that could look like with voice AI getting better and better.
This is something I wonder about... do they really want the whole country or do they want to make things so unpalatable that the country balkanizes and disintegrates? It's frankly really hard to get a read on what these extremists want, because if you play it out far enough, it looks pretty ridiculous, IE: be careful what you wish for as a lot of those right-wing states are going to be even poorer and more backward than they are now.

If I don’t see health authorities taking lab safety seriously by thoroughly and publicly investigating, why should I believe they take vaccine safety seriously? The framing damages credibility.
I respect Alan Kay as a programmer and an intellectual, but the plain and simple reality is that his definition of OO is not the one that carried the day, and his definition has very little relevance in the world today.

If one squints hard enough, one could argue that we are continuing to move in his direction even so, slowly and in fits. But it's not because we have an Alay-Kay-OO language, and to the extent it is happening, it's not clear that it's happening at a level of abstraction that languages matter much with. When people use OO as a term today, it's a different definition.
There's been no ruling that Abortion is un-constitutional. The 80% has the full ability to elect representatives to pass a law on the matter at the state or federal level.
I've found it very easy to get started with fuzzing in Rust using cargo-fuzz. I didn't do anything very advanced, and my closest point of reference is testing Python with Hypothesis, but it did turn up bugs.

Here's a Rust fuzzing story from yesterday: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/fuzzing-rust-minidump-for-...

It claims that Rust is particularly suitable for it because integer overflow panics in debug builds (and out of bounds indexing always panics), which sounds reasonable.
I'm not American but abortions are not a constitutional right and the right to bear arms is.

You can't conflate both things .

If the lab leak hypothesis is proven beyond all doubt, then it embarrasses China.

Embarrassing one of the world's superpowers is broadly seen as an undesirable thing to do.

Ergo, scientists producing findings backing up the hypothesis will find plenty of opponents whose first and only job is to discredit them in any way possible, from denying their papers publication (looking at you, ResearchGate) to publicly attacking them on social media (Dr. Malone).
Back up a bit. What the fuck is "meta-scientific"?
If you’re not part of the LGBT community, you’re opinion is literally worthless for this argument regardless of the evidence you see.
> We still let non-web apps do this.

And there are many known issues with that.

> We deny by default, and have permissions screens etc where people can allow/reject the access.

Yes, we do. And notification/dialog/prompt fatigue is one of many reasons listed behind not supporting these APIs. And at the link to the GitHub issue I provided a timeline of events for this "standard" which is anything but. Why would Firefox or Safari want to implement a standard that they had literally no input on?

> Disagreements are a separate issue from Safari's record of shipping broken versions

You asked for "If there are examples of 'Apple ignoring standards' actually meaning Chrome-only features please tell me one." I provided at least two. There are many others.

> Eg, Mozilla disagrees with hardware support but nobody accuses them of ignoring web standards.

Because it's fashionable to hate Safari with no justification other than because it's a drum incessantly drummed by Google's army of developer advocates. Even though more often than not Safari and Mozilla are in agreement about web standards these days. And are significantly closer to each other in the number of APIs shipped than they are to Chrome: https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence

Even you didn't know about issues with Chrome's non-standards until I provided you with examples, but "Safari is the largest driver of the 'Safari no support standards'"
Requiring a negative test is a bit intrusive, but a bar that refuses to serve obviously pregnant people would be fine IMO.

Because they are hypocrites (it's a fact, not a judgement). And it's interesting because hypocrites is one of the things that Jesus specifically calls out in the Gospel and seem to have much disdain for them. As a Catholic, I practice my faith with as much common sense as I can, to not judge, and forgive, as Jesus wanted us to.

As such, I am against the death penalty, against "preemptive" wars (of course defending your territory being invaded is justified), against 2nd amendment, and support women's right for abortion. To me, this is common sense that aligns with Jesus' message.

I cannot picture the loving Christ looking at a 13 year old child pregnant because of rape/incest and go "this new life is a miracle and it was my will". I reject this notion of "every conception was God's will and is sacred".
I think understanding the origin is important, but I also understand why it wasn't a media fixation during the pandemic itself.

1) Understanding the origin doesn't change the consequences or response to the pandemic

2) Unlike the nuclear analogy in the article, pandemic virus outbreaks happen naturally, and fairly frequently. Combined with the huge increase in global travel, when one does happen it can be around the world in every airport before anyone has even identified it.

So in the big picture this type of outbreak seems inevitable, not anomalous or inherently preventable.

Understanding the origin, either by cross-species origination or a laboratory containment breach, is indeed important and significant and should be pursued, but I also understand why the search for that answer isn't at the top of the 24-hour news cycle.

The only part of what you wrote that addresses my point is this:

> You seem to assert that there are wolves hiding in sheeps’ clothing, waiting until they are confirmed to show their true colors to save the country

Against this characterization I would oppose John Roberts, who was appointed by a Republican president, but has been reluctant to create any non-trivial precedent on topics that figure in the Republican platform. There's a lot of anger among Republican voters over that, but what can they do? They can't vote him out, he is not beholden to the Republican party, and he's done nothing impeachable.

I understand how this can be difficult to perceive from outside, especially if you happen to be in a bubble that perceives Republicans as uniformly deplorable. But I assure you that Roberts is viewed that way. (I view them from another direction entirely.)

As far as my stance being apologist or denialist, you have no idea what I think or want.
CNN reported the number has never been above 36% for “should roe v wade be overturned”

Gallup puts the number of legal under all cases at 35% of Americans and legal under some conditions at 50%.

Trigger laws in places like Oklahoma make it illegal in basically all cases after fertilization. Texas law is going to let Texans sue people for providing or getting abortions out of state. Framing this as a states rights issue didn’t work for slavery, segregation, gay rights, etc and it won’t work for women’s reproductive rights either.
Japan is consistently very welcoming of visitors. It's a fantastic place to be a tourist - clean, safe, welcoming, and top-tier cheap transit in major cities. If you're a permanent resident though, you start grinding against the extremely strong culture of conformity, which you can never quite achieve simply due to biology.
I don't say this lightly, but you're literally advocating for killing babies. Not in the sense that a first or even second trimester abortion is, but to kill a baby literally a day before it would be born, because you have the right to and not to literally save your own life, is just absolutely craven.
i think this sort of demonstrates just how far behind and backwards Japan is. It's like the country is stuck in late 90s.

In contrast, Korea seemed like it was on a different timeline with the massive digitization and broadband internet movement in the early 2000s.

With a dwindling population, Korea seems more flexible/apt at dealing with the future. There is also a much larger awareness/movement to multiculturalism whereas Japan seems unwilling to deal with the looming crisis.
It's a polite way of saying that it was nonsense.
> There is no half-decent MDM out there. Only shit ones but workable like Jamf.

Can you please elaborate? What problems would you pay to see solved in MDMs?
Lets bring up a hypothetical that has never and would never happen. You could never find a doctor willing to do this unless there was something medically wrong with the baby that likely would endanger the mother.

I do support this kind of abortion because the only situation I could imagine it happening is in a life saving one.
Dan Luu's posts show up here pretty often. His posts are generally well thought out and often involve quite a bit of research and deep-diving into whatever topic he's chosen to write about.

He doesn't post super often -- a quick perusal of his archive shows at most 3x per month, often less, and often not even once during a random month. So while each post might take a lot of time and effort, it's often spread out over weeks or more.

(Not trying to criticize your lack of knowledge here, just aiming to fill a knowledge gap.)
This turns the issue into a political one and ignores any other parties that might have been involved.

The only thing we should care to do at this point is learn as much as we can about where the virus originated. Everything else makes the task of finding the origin harder.
Yeah, I'm not Catholic, but I go to services in all three major branches (Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic) and I am a Christian. Granted, I've only been to one service in the USA in recent years, but even still, Canada is not so different and I've not even heard abortion mentioned once nor long diatribes on any specific political issue other than vague warnings against government manipulated media.

But this isn't what gets mentioned in Hacker News comments. And it certainly isn't what is upvoted. The internet boosts grievances and fourth sigma event reporting.
It means pseudo-scientific bullshit
It’s almost as if the liberals didn’t even read this part the current court’s opinion.

“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives”
Trash? Like, for example, a critical security vulnerability that could be patched quickly vs. one that would otherwise be tied to an IOS release?
Is IVF murder of children? Is a twin that consumed a twin in-utero a killer? Should we launch a criminal investigation every time a woman has a miscarriage?

Is plan B murder of children? If yes, is contraception, including pulling out murder of children?
Let's be real here, there is no 100% effective contraception method and out of 100s of millions of people having sex, probably a few million will get accidentally pregnant.

"People should not have sex" - is not a viable argument, because it's not a thing people will stop doing.

You sound like someone who thinks that women who have sex should be punished for being whores. So how about no uterus, no opinion? And kindly, hope you do not reproduce
What is "obviously pregnant"? How does a bar accurately distinguish someone who is pregnant vs obese? Do you really want to have that conversation with your 18 year old waiter?
> By your logic, if a person drives a car and has a crash, the doctor should refuse to treat their injuries, because after all, it was their choice to drive.

I'm pro-choice but this does not follow from that logic, which is that choosing to take action that might result in another living thing temporarily being dependent on you to survive, does come with at least some level of obligation not to rip that support away such that they die. Your analogy doesn't address that at all.
From June 9:

> Over two years after the coronavirus was first detected in China, and after at least 6.3 million deaths have been counted worldwide from the pandemic, the World Health Organization is recommending in its strongest terms yet that a deeper probe is required into whether a lab accident may be to blame.

> That stance marks a sharp reversal of the U.N. health agency’s initial assessment of the pandemic’s origins, and comes after many critics accused WHO of being too quick to dismiss or underplay a lab-leak theory that put Chinese officials on the defensive.

Ah I see. True it's not very good currency over the short term. You picked the high from 6 months ago. Try more than 6 months ago, say >=2 years.
Oh. I remember when Zach presented that to a club we both were in at college (I feel like it was a very early demo). I never linked that directly with Minecraft…

I remember Sauerbraten from before that (released in 2004 according to Wikipedia) and had assumed it was more in the inspiration line.
It has been proven true by anyone with common sense.

I've heard enough bullshit passed off as "it's just common sense" that anytime I hear someone use that as an argument, I take it to mean they don't have any argument other than the random thoughts rattling around in their head.

That's not to say I don't think the hypothesis didn't have some merit. But I could just as easily "it's just common sense" the other side of the argument, too.
I think I am spending a couple of hours every day here arguing with the barrage of web3 skeptics, trying to spread the message that crypto can be a net positive for society without replacing traditional finance.

That the important thing is giving people an option, and not just some high-stakes casino.

Does it have anything to do with xSigma, perhaps?
Catholic dogma is also very pro immigration. The birth of Jesus during migration, and that he was cared for by accommodating strangers (and even other migrating nomads) is a big deal in Christianity. The current pope’s rhetoric underscores this.

Why they focus so much on abortion is suspect indeed.
Would you also argue that email is useless because you can just send a letter? I don’t think “crypto is useless because you can just send cash by mail” is a serious argument, sorry.
Under Roe v. Wade, once the fetus is viable, so at about the 24-week mark
The gang’s all here.
I have to disagree. I more or less understand the pro-life point of view, which is that a fetus is a precious life. Since I'm not religious, it's clear to me that the fetus is alive, but I don't see it's life as important until it is capable of thought, emotion, and sentience, in general. I would say this is the essential difference between most pro-life and pro-choice philosophy.

After that, I switch to a much more consistent version of "pro-life" which includes a moral imperitive not to cause undue (frivolous, even) suffering or harm to any living thing.

Who decides if a pregnancy is viable?

If we go back to coat hanger abortions and render fetuses “unviable” that way, is everything peachy keen?

If not, then are miscarriages now occasion for criminal investigations?

Pro-life logic is garbage
Going along with your scenario - you'd have a discussion with your medical professional (who you've been seeing since the start of this process) and explore the possible outcomes with their guidance. In this specific scenario, you'd line up another volunteer host and transfer the contracted host-duties over to them.
The rights of the body /ended/ when a penis was inserted into a vagina.

The ONLY KNOWN METHOD OF HAVING CHILDREN IS: ::drumroll:: Sexual Intercourse.

There is no other natural method of having children; intercourse is it.

The choice lies in choosing NOT TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.

That is the proper framing. If the choice /not/ to have sex was followed there would be no pregnancy, and no cause to terminate a life.

The choice was prior to conception, not after.

Its because American consumers value cheapness over everything else and American corporations value profit over anything else.

Setting aside the general decline of the printer industry, and simplifying slightly, those two interests compliment each other into:

1. Producing the cheapest possible product, and then selling it for a loss while concocting subscription schemes to make-up for the lost profits at the point of sale of the product.

2. Paying employees in general less and less money proportional to inflation to "reduce costs", thus forcing the average person to demand cheaper and cheaper products. Completing the cycle.
Let me repeat it again and not use too many words this time.

The topic is:

The meat & dairy industry causes environmental destruction and it's unnecessarily cruel towards other animals.

We've reached a point in human and technological evolution that we don't need to exploit & kill animals for our own survival anymore.

The official definition of veganism is:

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

What's wrong with trying to promote that way of thinking?

Please tell me what is wrong about avoiding cruelty, killing and environmental destruction if all you have to do is not support the meat & dairy industry and not eating animals?

The constitution doesn’t enshrine the right to a gun. It enshrines the right to a gun for the sake of a well regulated militia. The NYC ruling was pure judicial activism
I am not sure how the logic I laid out would lead people to support sex education or easily obtainable birth control.

It is mostly a personal responsibility thing, as I understand it. You are responsible for creating the baby so you must give up some of your rights like bodily autonomy.

Birth control and sex education are not really related to that at all as far as I can tell.
I kinda agree. But my personal take is different.

Functions can be invoked in at least 3 different ways or a mixture of the three

1. Prefix - C style f(x,y,z)

2. Infix - x + y; x.f(y,z); a join b

3. Post fix- (x,y,z) $ f

Infix is the best style in most cases, OOP accidentally helped programmers use a more readable infix style.

A lot of the benefits of OOP can be had by allowing good infix invocation support and interface support in an imperative non OOP language. Might as well throw in generics.
That would be, ironically, moderna. Will the patent court award them negative damages?

On a more serious note, to stave off conspiratorial thinking, it should be "not crazy" that a moderna furin sequence appear. If I told a biochemist to go and insert a furin cleavage site into a virus, that grad student would do an NCBI blast search and get a list of all sequences. Maybe they are more knowledgeable than me and did know that patent search was enabled (or maybe they were used to ripping off parents :| -- I'm anti-patent myself so this is not an indictment of the general process). Then that library of say a few hundred sequences is applied. Then the grad student, say, drops the 96-well plate with the virus samples, and gets infected -- It should not be surprising that the moderna sequence is the winner in the competition amongst the viruses in that grad students body because moderna has engineered that site to be a very effective site, and we know that having the furin cleavage site is correlated to virulence, so "natural selection" kicks in.

Yes, however trading also implies the ability to liquidate positions and "cash out". Imagine a world in which a "stock trader" can exchange shares of one company for another but can never liquidate all of their positions and go to cash. Most people would not consider that to be stock trading at scale.
