Downvoted for the disingenuous quote.

The full quoted sentence, emphasis mine:

"This is correct and illustrative of why the power centric version of Christianity in this country needs to be actively removed from all positions of influence."

They're not saying that all religion is bad. However, religions have their place, and it is not in positions of power. Historically, the religiously-motivated have used their power to enforce their brand of religious belief above others. All religion should be banned from government, period.
Glad I'm not the only one. I always feel weird about doing it but it matters to me. I find it shocking that other people don't get this.
Abortion isn't the only issue Republicans use. We still have gun rights, "small government", "socialism", healthcare, drugs, human trafficking, etc.

Next on the list are LGBTQ+ rights, especially hormone therapy for teenagers, and contraceptives that may destroy or discard a zygote or blastocyst. Overturning Roe means allowing government to invade every healthcare decision and apply any arbitrary religious dogma to it.

The fear of abortion was used as a very effective tool for engagement. The more people sit and listen to people "argue" about an "issue" on Fox News or at church, etc., the more politically active they become.
Colleague is an ambiguous term. I wonder if he meant Citadel employees (only a couple thousand, which is pretty bad, if true)? The CEO of Citadel has tens of thousands of 'colleagues', though.

> while Jesus Christ never gave to abortion the slightest mention

Did the U.S. Constitution give abortion the slightest mention?

No, the right to abortion was inferred from a right to privacy, which was inferred from several amendments that did not explicitly mention abortion or privacy. The Ninth Amendment does makes allowance for rights that aren't explicitly enumerated, but it doesn't really give any guidance on how to know what those are.

Similarly, many Christian denominations recognize that Jesus didn't need to explicitly mention every single moral issue for the Church to develop doctrine around them. Heck, even the doctrine of the Trinity, a core doctrine of mainstream Christianity, requires some level of inference from Scripture.

So if your argument is that Jesus needed to explicitly mention abortion for there to be any justifiable Christian doctrine about it, you're applying a different standard than the standard that was used to define a constitutional right to abortion in the first place.

I know plenty of people, including myself, that have lost weight without feeling hungry. It takes a lot of consistency in eating lots of vegetables and high protein foods. But I recognize that that this is highly dependent on the person and many (most?) people may not have this experience.
If abortions are bad, why are the same people who want to ban abortions the ones who want to ban contraceptives? That would do a lot more to reduce abortions in reality than any law can.
Ah ok, I see what you mean.

I didn't see it as I was looking at France. It's weird, because at large scale there are no borders, at medium scale there is a weird mix of national and local borders (Western EU countries have state-level borders, RU/BY/UA/US/CN have local borders, ...).

And to take your example, I have to zoom quite close for BG/TR to switch from state-wide to local borders.
Looking through this, I don't see anything that is Pinephone specific. Building Pinephone apps is just like building for a Linux distro with a small screen and a modem.

So I am curious, what about the process was Pinephone specific?

> They found that collectively, the whole Reddit moderator population spends 466 hours per day performing moderating actions on the platform at a minimum.

I agree. 466 hours daily seems at first glance like at least an order of magnitude too low. I would have guessed easily many thousand hours are spent moderating daily.

The study authors did say this was a lower bound.

Illegal abortions don't get recorded in the same way as legal ones do, so the "statistics" are meaningless.
Wrong and naive.

Wrong because Roe v Wade was decided in 1973, the rate went from roughly 14 to 23 (a 64% increase).

Naive because as Jim said, the article clearly states the numbers are voluntarily given and therefore would not include illegal abortions. And the recording started in 1969, so it wouldn’t be surprising for it to take time before clinics even began reporting. In other words, abortions in states where it was legal probably didn’t DOUBLE between 1970 and 1971, but rather reporting of them improved.
Building Serverless Applications That Scale the Perfect Amount
Then how do you explain them supporting the removal of gun laws like the court did yesterday? Why does the idea that abortion extinguishes life and therefore supersedes all other rights not apply in other situations in which someone’s rights will lead to death? Either life is sacrosanct or it isn’t. Why are rights to guns more important than life but rights to bodily autonomy aren’t?
Ah, that's a good point. Well, good thing is you don't need an exchange to use it, and there are decentralized exchanges.

I think the real issue is that states often make horrible health decisions for individuals. People's right to make decisions for themselves needs to be acknowledged and protected.

I have a case pending in the United States Supreme Court that's fundamentally about Medical Freedom: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/do... (original PDF is readable: https://teslabox.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/220503-Petit... )

tl/dr: my friend is forced by the State of Arizona to take prescription medications that do not help with her genetic condition of requiring methylated forms of Vitamin B-9 (she is harmed by foods with the shelf-stable food fortification folic acid). Her tendency to self-treat malnutrition-caused depression with substances (alcohol, mainly) is worsened by the psychiatric drugs forced on her. The FDA black box warning on one of them is for 'compulsive behavior'. Last January she was 'stabilized' with the medication that the Soviets used to re-educate their dissidents, when all she really needs is sobriety and an adequate diet.

On May 8 2022 she escaped from her guardian's custody, choosing to live on the street instead of a care home. After my petition appeared on the SCOTUS docket I agreed to help her. She got a housekeeping job at that motel. Her manager had no idea her forced treatment with anti-psychotic medications had lapsed.

While my petition is fundamentally about whether the States may perpetrate fraud on the United States Court, the core issue I presented is about medical freedom. From Page 21 [1]:

> While it may not be this court’s place to tell doctors
that they don’t always know what they’re doing, it is
the requirement of Constitutional governance that
doctors be required to respect bodily autonomy. If a
citizen of the United States does not consent to being
injected with the Soviets’ preferred medication for
dissident re-education, doctors should not able to use
the courts to force this, or any other drug, approved
or experimental, on any person.

> The principle of health freedom requires that people
be allowed to make decisions for themselves, without
coercion from others. If a person doesn’t want to
have their brain electrocuted by their doctor, they
shouldn’t be forced to endure this treatment. If a
person is concerned they’ll have an adverse reaction
to a medication or condition that the experts think is
good for everyone, there can be no coercion against
people making decisions for themselves, no matter
their perceived competency

I'm now trying to whip up outrage on the internet about Arizona's use of the Soviet techniques of torture on our most vulnerable. But maybe Medicine is a sacred cow? How do I convince people that doctors and politicians should not be able to make medical decisions for anyone?

> OCaml does not require more annotations than Haskell for polymorphic functions?

A) I am fairly confident this is not actually true in a technical sense, although it's been several years since I've thought about it

B) In any case, in the (many) instances where you (by rule or convention) need to put a type signature on your function (e.g. because it's a top-level function, one that you export, etc.), it is a pain in the ass to make it polymorphic in ocaml compared to in haskell.

> Even taking in account that it sounds like you are talking about functors

No, I'm not, although ocaml people tend to think exclusively in "functors" (badly named, in my opinion - conflicts with the more common category-theoretic definition) because the experience of using actually parametric functions is so bad that they almost never do it.

What I wish more people acknowledged is that the phrase "improving Safari" is shorthand for "improving Safari for advertisers and developers" not "improving Safari for users".

Yes, it may be true that users experience some benefits, but it is infrequently acknowledged that most users hate popups, hate tracking, and don't want notifications from websites.

It should be up to the Congress (or state legislatures) to make abortion legal and write the laws that protect the right such as they did for example in France.

The Constitution is or was a band-aid and it's reached its EOL.

The Congress has abrogated their duty here and we're seeing the consequence of this.

The "it wasn't invented at the time they wrote the Constitution, so the Constitution doesn't apply to it" argument has been debunked long ago.

Speaking as someone who has been harmed by ransomware, no, it is very much not a good thing. But presuming it was a good thing that I get my data held for ransom, there's no explanation as to why blockchains are uniquely suited to remove some of that absolute power. They appear to be no different from any other illegal digital banking scheme, such as Liberty Reserve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Reserve

Specifically, the "product" is they've assembled a criminal conspiracy to launder money and hide fraud, and they're offering it as a service. When you have sophisticated scammers running them it always takes time for regulators to unravel these schemes; blockchains certainly did not invent this.
> There's this belief that society always moves in a "forward/upward" directory

That's the central fallacy of Whig historiography [1]. It is in part facilitated by the fact that recent history is often written by the victors.

MLK repeated the same fallacy: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Is that the same arc that included two world wars?

I have dismissed Zig in the past in favor of Rust. But I've since found Rust difficult to keep up with since it's developing so rapidly and I don't use it daily.

Zig seems like it has similar goals to Rust, but with a gentler learning curve. I know the Zig community isn't as big as Rust's, but maybe I wrote off Zig too soon.

Anyone know of any objective comparisons out there? Is Zig gaining traction in a similar space to Rust?

Running the banking system on permissioned blockchains, where it makes sense, is simpler than extending federal protection to what currently behaves like a gambling industry. Also, spending the tax dollars of the young, poor and/or financially-conservative to subsidise a demographically-constrained pursuing a high risk / high reward strategy is inefficient.
Could such an effort be challenged and go through the courts? Would the decision of whether it could be challenged go through the courts?
The thing about abortion that most people seem not to understand is that the debate is fundamentally about answering "when does human life start?". One side believes it starts at conception, which equates any abortion with murder. The other side believes it starts at some point after that, which makes abortion up to that point a women's health / rights issue. Irreconcilable, but also toxic when the two sides never talk about what they actually disagree on, but instead call each other murderers or anti-women's rights or whatever.

My understanding is that initially Taleb was favourable towards bitcoin. Later it became apparent that bitcoin is not going to fulfil many promises and he changed his stance. I think it is commendable when we change our opinion when facts change and are not afraid to say so.
In this _particular_ case, I think it would indeed be considered vehicular homicide if you drove drunk and killed someone. If you could and did save them by giving a blood transfusion, then you would likely still be guilty of some crime for hitting them in the first place, but not homicide.
>This is my basic argument: blockchain does nothing to solve any existing problem with financial (or other) systems. Those problems are inherently economic and political, and have nothing to do with technology.

This is such an important sentence that is bear repeating ad infinitum. For completeness: if you do have a technological solution to an economic and politcal problem, you have created a new political problem (for yourself): getting everyone to use and understand your solution.
I am 175cm. Went from 80 kg to 66 in 6 months or less. Then I plateaued and was around 67kg. Still had excessive fat tissue, but not a lot. Was sedentary, couldn't even do 1 pull around March 15. No I am ~70kg, with less fat tissue and doing 5/5/5 pull ups with 5KG added.

So def. noob gains. But I also see that fat tissue is burning (slowly but surely) and muscles are growing. Lifting, no cardio or HIIT.

No. It is old people wanting to stop young people having sex. It is about increased the biological risks associated with sex. It is about people who believe that sex should only ever be for procreation. It is about the oldest issue in history: old people not wanting young people to enjoy life.
That's fine, but do that on your own time or when working for a client that wants it and pays for it, not as a charitable gift to a capitalist.
Should there be? I think this is an evolving question that would settle a number of ambiguities in the law.

If one were to die tomorrow without being an organ donor, the state still cannot compel one to give up their organs, even if it would save lives. Why should a woman’s body have less autonomy than a corpse?

On the other hand, I don’t think many people would support 39-week abortions either, absent some explicit medical necessity. At some point, which is inherently a gradient, our legal system has to afford protection to what is a viable person.

Americans have a tendency to go for the most extreme positions on everything and I think the court reversing Roe is an incredibly shortsighted decision that will cost it decades of legitimacy. The institution is more damaged now than possibly ever. Even the Chief Justice had wanted to uphold Mississippi’s law but preserve Roe, which would’ve been a much better solution than where we are today.

Extremism is a cancer destroying this country.
They can now. They previously couldn't under Roe V. Wade.

IMO Monero and Zcash were the next attempts at true digital money, and both seemed to work well for that purpose. However, people don't seem to want digital money unless its value is highly volatile, and Zcash and Monero never achieved such volatility.

It's ironic, because volatility is the opposite of what you want in a currency.

Yea, there's a lot of history around types of militias, too (especially formal v. informal militias). The historical arguments were what got me on this: the 'prefatory' clause is pretty clearly there to point out that formal militias are allowed, and make no mention of informal militias.
Arguably there are a lot more winners than losers. Not sure who loses from having a good map application in a foreign country.
The constitution the "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms". So who owns the right? Is it the Feds? No. Is it the States? No. It's the peoples'.

While the first part of the sentence says why should care, the explicit right is owned by the people.

What people don't often consider is that one can infer that rights might be infringed. The second amendment just says, "We can't fringe this right".
The burden of proof is on you since you're the one making the nonsensical claim. How is helping people in any way slavery? That sounds insane.
