Ah, an excellent comment.

Yes, the courts generally lag public opinion, but eventually side with it. Whether regarding interracial marriage, birth control, gun control, and many other things. If anything, Roe was an outlier because in 1972 the public was probably mostly unconcerned about abortion and, if pressed, probably not broadly for it to be legal.

If, indeed, more than half the States were to legalize civilian possession of heavy weapons, then the courts might rule that to be covered by the second amendment. And since none do, the court will feel safe ending the second amendment's shade at small-caliber firearms.

One might wish for the courts to act very differently than this, but then we'd probably see large majorities in favor of reforming them to be as they are.

It's a problem, though, that we have such disparities in public opinion between various States.

By the way, this decision may well cause the end of Republican rule in many Republican States if their legislatures get too excited about banning more abortion options than the people of those States want them to. It might well usher a multi-decadal Democrat majority in the State legislatures and in the Federal government. It could very well be a Pyrrhic victory for pro-life activists.
> I do, mostly because just a few years ago when they controlled the executive and legislative, they showed they had no interesting in "banning abortions everywhere".

Because that would’ve been an obvious and flagrant violation of Roe and a waste of time.

> This Handmaid's Tale scenario continues to be Leftist fan fiction to rally the troops.

I mean, overturning a long-held right is the first big step on that path. It wouldn’t have such staying power if there was no concrete evidence, such as this ruling, to back up those fears.

It was divisive at the time to give everyone the right to vote and there's no reason it's any less so today.
Why should you first put on your own oxygen mask on a plane in the event of decompressing, before helping others?

Because the damage is much greater otherwise. A child brought into this world under duress, to an unprepared mother and/or unprepared parents will have all the odds against him/her. There's a greater risk of dying. Of poverty. Of sickness. Of crime.

It's not that the unborn has no rights. It's rather that these rights cannot be realized partially. It's either the full package or none.

So just like the US electoral system, some people are in favor of abortion even if they are 49% in favor of the embryo.
Right now median house price is 350k and gdp per capita is 70k (so 5x)

It's hugely minority. 60-73% support abortion access the question is where the limits/timelines should be and that number is only growing especially now that there is a spotlight on the issue. You will now see some 18 mostly small population red states pass extreme laws restricting abortion access while a majority of voters even in those states are against such laws.

Congress couldn’t get a supermajority to pass a national abortion rights law, and it won’t be able to get one for abortion prohibition, either.

There is a compromise somewhere, but it’s a very difficult negotiation.
Roe was also a basis for many other ruling and this opens for them to be overturned as well.

“For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.”
In Ohio we passed a state law demanding fair districts. The GOP led Ohio congress and governor repeatedly submitted districts that the courts struck down.

It went to a federal court who ruled the districts not fair but will let them stand for the 2022 elections.

The GOP ignored the rule of law, ignored the courts, and ran out the clock. They will cement their hold on the state in 2022.
A large part of the rural working class don’t have the right to vote, because they are migrant workers. And even if they do have the right to vote, they have don’t have any real chance of electing someone that represents their interests. Political candidates tend towards the owning class and tend to cater to the owning class.

Then when you don’t have a chance to vote for someone that represents your interests, your second best chance is voting for someone that matches your ideology. And ideology can be easily persuaded. The democratic party’s ideology obviously matches the ideology of the business class (or the coastal elite if you will), so what you are left with is the republican party. And ideology is easily persuaded so you start believing in the conservative talking points they use to pursue your vote.

The logic that a fetus is a person comes from the inevitability of birth starting at conception — as long as no one interferes, a human person will eventually be born. Therefore, ending the pregnancy early means that person will never be born, so it’s tantamount to killing a newborn baby.

Once you accept a fetus is a person, this same logic can also be extended to argue that life starts at ejaculation; impeding sperm from fertilizing an egg prevents the birth of a person, and is therefore tantamount to murder the same way abortion is.

It’s much more a tenuous an argument, which is why it’s only made by the most extreme people. But I guess that explains why Clarence Thomas is pushing to make contraception illegal today.
As far as Christianity goes, equating Abortion to murder has only recently become the popular interpretation. Not only is it written multiple times in The Bible that life begins at breath, The Bible even contains instructions on how and when to perform abortion.

As far as the constitution goes, amendments are treated as part of the text, not gotchas. The constitution protects your right to keep the contents of your pockets and your home private. Why not the contents of your uterus?

> It merely decided that it is not currently protected by constitution, which to me seems completely correct.

First off, It was a momentous decision. It did not "merely" decide anything.

Second, a right does not need to be explicitly spelled out in the constitution to be a constitutionally protected right. The right to an abortion is a clear and rational outgrowth of the constitutional protections of privacy and bodily autonomy (IE, the right to not have the government mess with our shit for no good reason).

I would argue that cryptocurrency is tripling/quadrupling/quintupling down on stupidity, it's obvious from taking a single look at the ecosystem that nothing works. It's overloaded with scams, it's not actually decentralized or fair, and the main people pumping it up are VCs and other billionaires. The valuations are just random, there are no real profits anywhere to be found. Proof of work is essentially a lottery that you win by wasting the most energy that you possibly can, and proof of stake is literally just a lottery. Is this really the best that people think we can come up with to solve our financial woes? Cryptographically secure lotteries? I'm just stunned at how many cryptographers are willing to go along with this fraud.

Edit: I forgot to mention the colossal stupidity of NFTs. I mean, seriously, it's VCs selling facebook profile pictures with million dollar price tags and pitching it as some kind of artist's revolution. The community mocks you for having "right clicker mentality" if you don't buy into the scheme.

> The world's fastest general purpose sorting algorithm, 60% faster than Quicksort

that's a pretty strong claim with essentially nothing to back it up.

First off, the project is written in Dart & Java. I would expect an algorithm to be written in C for performance evaluation and comparison with other algorithms.

The only comparison provided is with Java's built-in `Array.sort`, which is a single threaded version, while his Java implementation is stated to be multi-threaded. The comparison thus is pretty useless. Especially since there is no mention of the used test architecture/hardware and available threads.

The only benchmark provided is for randomly generated integers. It lacks comparisons for many important corner cases like pre-sorted arrays, reverse-sorted arrays or arrays with tons of duplicates.

His benchmark output states 3x faster and 66% faster. That makes no sense! I guess what he wants to express is that his code runs 3x faster (e.g. 9000ms/3000ms) than the compared code and the runtime is 34% of the compared codes runtime (e.g. 3000ms/9000ms).

I do like that in his profile picture on GitHub he labels himself "Fake Experts" :)

I've been using a HP LaserJet Pro M402dne for the last two years, and it's solid. I should point out it's not colour, and Ethernet (not wifi). Also prints fine from Apple and Android devices in the family through the network.

Before that, I struggled along with inkjets before finally giving up. I remember having an urgent document to print in mono, had a new black XL cartridge installed, and it refused to print until I went out and got some yellow too. So for a while, I've been telling anyone prepared to listen that inkjets are a scam.

Anyhow, the LaserJet came with a starter toner cartridge. I also got a 9000 page XL toner cartridge around the same time. Two years later, I'm still on the starter toner cartridge. For an intermittent user, it's really great. Inkjets have often dried up on me if there's significant time between prints.

Looking at sites such as this, the model that I use also works with compatible toner cartridges : https://www.tonergiant.co.uk/model/HP-LaserJet-Pro-M402dne-t...

Google is an advertising company that is literally built on non-consensual data harvesting. AWS is an outgrowth of Amazon, which is likewise massively invested in data mining (though mostly on Amazon itself).

Microsoft's telemetry in end user products is known to tech savvy people but the company is mostly known for its operating system and office suite that most businesses already use. Additionally in Germany Microsoft used to offload its enterprise services to Deutsche Telekom (or T-Online I think) operating them for MS under the Microsoft brand, thus appearing even more trustworthy by effectively handing over control to a well-known German company. This changed but reputation sticks.

USA Constitution

14th Amendment

Section 1

...no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws...

-

The constitution clearly says that states cannot enforce laws that deprive citizens of their lives and liberties.

Now, states have renewed authority to deprive at-risk women their right to life-saving medical procedures. Please explain to me how this doesn't violate 14A.
I thought we have inalienable rights, and the constitution is there to carve out where we DONT have them.

4.5 years is not a lot of history. I wouldn't fit a basic credit model on that much data.

open disclosure, I know nothing of DAI (indeed little of crypto). But if I want a dollar-like asset, a risk free asset, then "limits in stability" is not compatible with that.
> The parts about deploying to the PinePhone

??? What does "deploy to the Pinephone" mean? Ctrl+F "deploy" returns nothing.

AFAIK, It looks like all of the development/coding/compiling is all done on the Pinephone over SSH, so I am not sure what makes it Pinephone specific.

> VSCode Remote/debugging to the PinePhone

That's just how to use SSH with VSCode? That's not Pinephone specific.

> This article is obviously a beginner's tutorial to deploying a Zig app

I get that, my point is aside from a small screen and a modem that can Call/send SMS, there isn't anything special about developing for the Pinephone vs. an ARM linux distribution. That's why I was curious.
I can't imagine becoming a teacher right now. My kids are in public schools and the teacher attrition rate is off the charts because the past couple of years have been a horrific experience for many of them. Getting into teaching right now while the pandemic is still lingering and the education administration is a burned out husk is unlikely to go well, though I certainly admire Zach for trying.
> OOP can lead to overly complex code, uneeeded abstractions and design patterns thrown on top of each other for no good reason.

All programming paradigms can do that, you are not making any particularly salient point about OOP here.

OOP doesn't mean that everything needs to be an object, but inheritance and shared behaviors are concepts that map neatly between the real world and the programming world, which is why OOP has been such a resounding success.

We have refined this approach now (e.g. using delegation over inheritance), but these basic concepts of shared behavior and reuse remain.

I like the "until it can sustain itself" argument but the issue is that's a moving bar. Every time technology improves that time gets a little bit shorter. A hundred years ago a five month fetus had little chance of surviving. Now that survival rate is 85%. If we had the ability to instantly and painlessly teleport a week-old fetus into an artificial womb, would that be cause to ban all abortion?

The only fully consistent argument I've heard is that a human mind is the definition of personhood and that parents should be able to terminate up until several months after birth, but that's pretty out there.
There's no need to be a dick about it.
Or a much more interesting question: what are some examples of hard work that you're laboring through right now?

Most likely folks here may have suggestions on how to convert it to difficult problems :-).
I will defer to the explanation in chapter sixteen of https://www.amazon.com/Allow-Me-Retort-Black-Constitution-eb...

Something to do with some bad uses of substantive due process stuff in early 1900s.
That is an excellent point. Creating solutions to hard work by solving a difficult problem is a great land of opportunity.

Something that comes immediately to mind is Hasura. They’ve taken the hard work problem of building CRUD GraphQL APIs and made it almost instant for their users by solving those difficult problems.
I do hope that this will motivate us to get some amendments passed to codify some of the rights that we've gained from court rulings. I hope this turns into blowback against the Republicans but I think there's a long road. I guess people just don't believe things will get "that bad" and now we'll see.

He that knows only his side of the case, doesn't even know that. -John Stewart Mill

If you can’t steelman any topic, you don’t understand the topic.

I don’t pick begrudge Republicans that actually believe and really feel the abortion has been terminating a human life unfairly.

I’m more begrudge Democrats that refuse to understand this is a nonfalsifiable issue. That we will never understand truly the point of which a thing becomes a human.

There will never be agreement. You need understand and accept that.

So given the choice between federally legal and federally illegal, where there will always be conflict, you could do worse than 50 state rules.

For all the rage that “some number of weeks abortion bans” in the certain state received, that is Germany’s every day. They have a 12 week ban with mandatory counseling. I have difficulty understanding how the same pitched here would get red eyed outrage from most Pro-Choice but Germans seem to be getting along.

I don’t think the issue is abortion, I think it’s just like everything else hyper-polarization.

I think it’s absolutely stupid that if I see you still wearing a mask in a store, that I can pretty much determine your views on abortion. We’re being played.
I'm still in shock since the initial announcement. These guys are so good at game design, I thought they would be doing it forever.

This assumes that each person is responsible for their own safety. But you have no control over the other guy that puts people at risk. By mocking it, maybe we can prevent this form of argumentation earlier?

Hopefully in 20 years or less we will see unsafe code in the same way we view leaded gas, cigarettes and CO2. The other thing I realized in the last couple years is that eventually, everything becomes safety critical to someone at some point. That if you think you have to just protect this one system but that others can fail, is flawed on large scales. You can't tractably realize the failure graph, and nor can you prevent a seemingly innocuous thing from being used in a critical way.

The pandemic was a great lens into how human resilience kept flawed systems functioning in a way that few realized were flawed. The pharmacies in my area are still recovering only to have their problem exacerbated by more rigid controls that prevent local autonomy from making the system resilient. In this particular case, automation has made a problem worse by preventing humans from doing the little local silent repairs that they were previously doing.

I'd welcome a debate on rights of mothers vs. rights of unborn humans. I feel like both sides take their argument for granted, or preach to the converted.

I can see how, if you are absolutely convinced that the unborn human is a human just the same as anyone walking on the street, you'd mirror the argument you made and say, you don't leave it up to the states to protect the lives of the unborn humans, and ban abortions.

I'm not taking a side here btw. I feel like the pro-life vs. pro-choice argument is low on arguments targeting the opposite side, only more and more rallying its own supporters.

FIRST: If SCOTUS should stay out of big, divisive cultural decisions, then they should do it point-forward and not by hopping right back in the fray.

SECOND: Abortion is seen as a fundamental right for womens' health, and there are many documented reasons for getting abortion that are not merely "convenience". There are things which should not be prohibited by the democratic process, since they are human rights.

THIRD: There is no scientific basis for restricting abortion; I would place a large bet that more than 95% of people who are against abortion rights base their opinion on faith-based teachings.

FOURTH: We need to abolish the two party system via *ballot reform* and move to Ranked-Choice or approval voting. This will weaken the two parties, allow citizens to vote /for/ someone rather than against, and will be a more accurate gauge of popular sentiment.
So what I'm getting from this is buy a bunch of stuff now and get it off the platform before it's too late?
