>at their core seem very similar from a legal perspective especially because of the NFA requirement for tanks.

There is no NFA requirement for the tank itself. Only for the cannon, and the ammunition if it has an explosive payload. The tank is just a vehicle. If you can make it street legal, you are free to drive it anywhere you like.

The more interesting thing you bring up inadvertently is "on your own property". If that's the case, I should be able to own all the machine guns I like without NFA stamps on my own property right?

The NFA is an unconstitutional law that sought to put a tax on rights. Then extra double unconstitutional when in 1986 they said "Oh, we longer accept the tax for certain still legal things". We specifically deny behavior that elsewhere, like voting. All handguns were supposed to be included, and all rifles with barrels shorter than 18". 18" stuck for shotguns, but rifles were moved to 16" for silly reason I can't recall exactly. Pistols got dropped because even in 1934 the public reaction wasn't going to fly.

It doesn't matter though. The point of all of this is 2A is an individual right, enumerated, and verified with previous and recent court decisions. Abortion is not, so people using the BUT STATES RIGHTS comments about the NYRPA decision vs Roe overturn are being completely ignorant of the realities here.

It's very silly to compare them.
Fortunately there is nothing else the state forces you to purchase so this is a very clean ideological point you are making.
> It reframes the discussion from antagonistic to cooperative

Well written,

Maybe a similar way of saying that, could be: finding the useful things in what someone said, and ignoring any rude undertones

At the same time, if one constantly needs to reframe antagonism, how long will it take until one starts looking for another workplace? Let's hope it was a one time thing

Ask HN: E2E Encrypted Period Trackers?
One sentiment from the recent Roe v Wade decision is that women should be careful about their data as law enforcement could use it to determine if they had an abortion.

Period tracker apps are quite popular, and even a form of contraception [1]. They technically don't need to access the data (although they may wish to for analytics/monetisation), so it seems to me like a perfect candidate for E2E encryption. But I can't find any that advertise they use E2E encryption (just a vague "we encrypt your data" in their privacy statement).

Is anyone working on this?

> Same states that demonize abortions also cut health services for children and mothers. All states that had a trigger law to ban abortions also do not have paid family leave.

Suppose for the sake of argument that you're a person who thinks health services for children and paid family leave are important; but you also think that abortion is the moral equivalent of murder. You can vote for:

* Team Blue, who will increase children's health services and advocate for paid family leave, but slaughter millions of innocent children [Remember, I'm not claiming this is true, I'm trying to put you in the mind of a hypothetical person who believes this way]

* Team Red, who will decrease children's health services and family leave, but restrict the slaughter of innocent children.

I mean, if that's what you actually believe, then it really has to be Team Red, doesn't it?

I don't pretend to know what politicians think; it seems pretty likely that a lot of them are cynically using abortion as a ploy to get people to vote for policies that favor their rich donors. But I can tell you that an awful lot of people who actually vote are genuine in their opposition to it. If you want people to vote differently, you have to understand where the voters are coming from, not where their politicians are coming from.
This is a distraction. Pure and simple.

> do you believe that a man who gets a woman pregnant should have to support the child? Why or why not?

As for me, I say no. If a woman can terminate the pregnancy. a man should be able to waive his part in it. That still leaves the issue of a man losing a child he wants if she doesn't, but that issue, as well as the issue of abortion, will be solved once we find a way to transplant the fetus to an artificial womb. Until then there are no perfect solutions.

> As for the reproductive rights, as long as contraception is legal (and who knows what will happen next) isn’t the choice at conception?

Contraceptives can and do fail. Even if you're doing everything right. Contraceptives help, and comprehensive sex ed promoting the correct use of contraceptives goes a long way to help prevent unwanted pregnancies (as evidenced by higher teen pregnancy rates where they only provide "abstinence only" ignorance) but it doesn't solve the problem.

> People talk about Roe v Wade as if women spontaneously get pregnant against their will and are forced to care for the baby.

"spontaneously" or not, women do in fact get pregnant against their will. They also can get medical complications that require them to terminate willful pregnancies in order to protect their health and their lives. The loss of Roe v Wade means that more women will die. needlessly. More women will cruelly suffer. More children will cruelly suffer as well.
I don't disagree with you.

The post I replied to said "could never be tracked". People using cash can be tracked if it's important to do so. Mass surveillance on cash transactions is trickier (though maybe with machine learning we'll decide that it's a great idea to track physical transactions of any kind using video etc.).
Sure, but Alito plus the others means it’ll never pass.
This is something I wish more companies would do. It’s sorely needed.
I'm so sick of this "composition is so much better than inheritance" talking point that seems to have become dogma in the last 5 years. You use both. They are completely different things.

Look at a classically inheritance-based system: a GUI library. You'll see lots of inheritance. Buttons and Checkboxes extend ClickableThing, ClickableThing extends Control. Whatever.

And then you compose those controls on a Form.

Look at a classically composition-based system: a video game entity-component system. You'll see Monsters composed of GraphicsObjects and Animations and WeaponSlots and AIAgents.

And you implement all of those components in an inheritance hierarchy, or else your GameObjectThinger can't have a list of them that can grow or shrink at runtime.

So keep saying "teach composition, not inheritance". You might as well tell musicians to study "rhythm, not tempo".

Consider this a bit of code switching. Many of us absolutely are concerned about what this means for women, but we also know that this forum skews male and a particular kind of male. So we are making the argument here that resonates with this forum.

You are right though that more people overall - even those who skew conservative and pro-individual rights, should realize that if you take away rights from women, and then homosexuals, and then people who want to be married to someone of a different race... where does it end in terms of stripping away individual rights? I'd argue that if you view women's health care as a matter of individual freedom and rights, then is that not the same argument being made in interpreting the 2nd amendment as not about militias (IE: a standing army) but the rights of the individual? If I can tell women they can't have a set of health care services, what's stopping the government from telling men that they can't have a different set of health care services?

To be fair, cover ups aren't exclusive to authoritarian regimes.

Indeed, don’t misunderstand me, I’m not against abortion. The situations you’ve mentioned are good reasons to have it.

My point is that the choice that people want already exists other than rape. Abortion should be legal, but not because reasons, but for medical necessity and for situations in which the choice that a woman does have is made for her (rape).
I concur. People are generally very hesitant to recommend fasting, because it is dangerous, but I'd argue that it's dangerous in the same sense as a very intense workout: not inherently damaging, but *certainly* capable of complicating pre-existing conditions. (NOT A DOCTOR, DO NOT SUE)

Indeed, there is some science which suggests that fasting plays an important role in long-term homeostasis -- particularly when it comes to managing cellular senescence and insulin resistance[1]. I'm only a layperson, but I feel like there's a pretty clear parallel that can be drawn between exercise and fasting here; Human body metabolism developed in an environment where both of these processes would reliably play out over time, so it seems to follow that each would contribute important functions to the overall metabolic process.

right, that's the "operational input", in case that wasn't clear.
Because, generally, art is not considered a real profession. "Making it big" in the art world is an incredible gamble, and even more-so today with so many attention-grabbing alternatives (movies, TV, YouTube, blogs, music, etc.) The impact of AI-generated art will barely be felt, in my opinion.

While software engineering, on the other hand, is considered a "real" profession. Millions of people make a steady living coding, designing, testing, architecting, etc. The impact of AI on the software development work-flow will be immense. Tooling has already impacted GIT PRs at my place of work, and when these tools get smarter the impact will only grow. And, if the pattern holds, such tooling will be introduced earlier and earlier in the design/development workflow.

I'm probably way off, but at the rate things are progressing, I'll give it 10-to-15 years before software development paradigms such as cucumber test files or hexagonal designs/drawing are directly transformed into coded, reviewed, tested, running and deployed solutions.

As an accomplished lawyer and long-time political commentator here, it's disappointing that you resorted to mockery by invoking hyperbolic comparisons.

In his concurrence with today's Dobbs ruling, Justice Thomas wrote: '[...] in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.'

(For non legal nerds, those cases are concerned with birth control, sexual privacy, and gay marriage respectively.)

You're surely also aware of legislative and electoral pitches to substantially restrict birth control. I don't think I'm being hyperbolic by simply mentioning the existence of ultra-conservatives and observing that they have some political influence. When one of the nine Supreme Court justices indicates a willingness to revisit multiple landmark cases only a foolish person would ignore the possibility.

According the to released FOIA'ed emails, these scientists changed their mind within 1-2 days from "wow, could really be a lab leak" to "lab leak is a conspiracy theory" - why that?

None of them can explain what made them change their mind on this short time frame in spring 2020. Was there new knowledge? A break thru experiment? They refuse to say.

It's not at all far-fetched to think the virus piggybacked 10 miles before finding a nice home for itself at a wet market, after which it went gangbusters and infected lots of people. Obviously the virus proliferated in the market, but that doesn't necessarily make the market the origin. The two bottom 'Weibo data' maps from the first link show clusters on both sides of the rivers and also very close to the lab.

That's just the most obvious bit of bias, but I'm confident that article isn't being as fair-handed as it's pretending to be.
Ask HN: Advice for a first-time Engineering Manager
Recently at my seed-stage startup (~6 engineers) we had our engineering manager/director leave for a new opportunity. We're doing well so-far, and looking to create an organizational structure that can grow the group. As such, I've been asked (volunteered) to step up and lead half of the group in a managerial sort of role. I've been on the team for about half a year, and while I've led development teams before, this will be the first time I'm managing humans.

I've been a full-time developer/engineer for nearly eight years now (in several different industries and all in larger companies), and would say I'm fairly competent and eager to take on new work for the success of the company.

I'm sure there's people here that have been in a similar kind of situation. I'd love to hear any advise you'd give to a first-time manager, or specifically someone in my position.
>Since you seem to know a lot about "arms," is a sword an "arm?"

Knives and swords are arms, yes. This was most recently seen in states that tried to ban switchblades outright. Switchblades are pretty poor fighting knives, but have the same public reaction fueled by media as pitbulls.

I talked with a lobbyist responsible for the switchblade deregulation in my state. After her research it came to "What makes a weapon will always be up to the judge, but the easy test is can you swing it?". Which is fair I think. That said... I also trained with my state's swat unit for a class and they talked about their justification for getting their gun out according to dept policy being "Any time a weapon is involved", which can mean gun, knife, sword, folding chair, sharp pencil or really big box of hot dogs depending on intent.

> sex leading to kids is hardly some unknown fact

Oh, I'd wish. There are people who still - in the 21st century - do not have like basic knowledge about sexual wellness and have very weird (and sometimes very dangerous) ideas about contraception, safety and risks of pregnancy. I mean, it's hard for any educated person to believe in this shit, but I've met or read some pretty insane opinions. Like people who genuinely believe really weird nonsense such as that virgins cannot get pregnant their first time. And they aren't malicious folks (well, maybe some are, of course) - just awfully misinformed.

Humanity is in a very weird place. On the one hand we've walked on the Moon and about to conquer nuclear fusion power, but on the other hand we've just climbed down from the trees and learned how to make a fire.

I program primarily in (untyped) Python (which, I get is technically strongly typed but people don't think in technical terms) these days, and I almost never experience type errors. I guess I could attribute this to a couple things:

- I'm very specific about when I use None

- I'm a big fan of named function arguments

- I like to think my naming of things is pretty good, as are my conventions for parameters

- I try to handle all possible cases (what I mean here is I do and if I don't I made a mistake)

I use tests very sparingly in personal projects, but yet I haven't really felt their absence. If I ever write a piece of particularly hairy code (metaprogramming comes to mind... lord) I'll write a quick script testing some cases and then delete it.

Anyway, all that is to say I think part of dynamic programming is you build an immune system for this stuff.

I'm consistently surprised at how many people, both in these threads and irl, assert there is no "grey area", and argue that a fetus goes from being 0% baby to 100% baby the instant it is born and no sooner. To me, there is a very clear "gradient" where it goes from being 0% baby to 100% baby over the course of 8-9 months, the percentage ticking up every day or so. Many people can't imagine a 5-month old fetus being viewed as "alive".

Not quite. The ruling is specifically setup to allow a federal ban against it's challenges. The wording allows several avenues, my bet is on expanding the existing federal murder charge that has plenty of case law supporting it to fetuses at the moment of conception.

So they only kinda sorta care about the child in the womb but not about the mother or the child when they are born.

Or they’re more capitalist in their thinking and expect people to take care of themselves as opposed to leaving it up to the government.
