"The people who argue for states' rights are often doing so as a ruse to eventually exercise federal control."

It's funny how symmetrical hypocrisy is.

Liberals are hypocrites because they favor states rights when it comes to firearm regulations but not for abortions; and conservatives are hypocrites for exactly the opposite positions.

(I'll point out that in this instance, on a purely logical basis, the conservatives have the upper hand because they can clearly point to the second amendment, whereas the liberals need to try to identify abortion as some kind of implicit natural right that's not written down anywhere. I say this as a pro-choice person.)

In either case, you are right, it is largely a ruse. If abortions and firearms were both illegal nationally, then liberals would fight for states' rights on abortion but not for firearms; and conservatives would again have the opposite positions. Political creatures fight on the battlefield where they can win (or, more often, keep the status quo and stay in office but look like they are fighting to keep the campaign cash rolling in).
Would that hold in a court of law?
> Everyone would be better off just learning the simplicity of handling ones memory by ones self.

I've found the difficulty of memory management increase quadratically to the linear increase in program complexity. So simple programs have simple memory management and even modestly complex programs have very complex memory management.
Totally agree!

Though the one point I will make is that the federal government is enumerated the power to regulate interstate commerce, so while they can't ban the substances, they could make it illegal to transport them over state lines. Such is the reason you still can't take mj from one legal state to the next.
It would be useful to provide at least a concrete example. Sounding very undoubtul doesn't imply being right or argumenting based on the truth. I will however do further reading and find out what may be so outrageous this court might have been up to.
It's not unreasonable to ascertain people's positions by their actions.

"pro-life" really isn't as simple as you're making it sound. Only something like 15-18% of Americans support a total ban on abortion with no exceptions. So if we're limiting "pro-life" to only that position, then it's by definition a pretty extreme position, in fact most people would call it ridiculous: it's so extreme that it's very easy to ridicule.

If we widen a little to allow exceptions, well is that really "pro-life" anymore? Then you get into situations where you have to say, "well I think it's a life, therefore ending that life is killing, but the pregnant person will die if forced to carry the fetus to term, so... I guess killing is OK?". It's pretty weird.

Further, if the goal of pro-life Americans is to lower the number of abortions, here are policies we know work:

- sex education

- access to contraception

- support for parents and children (financial, educational, medical/mental health)

Oddly very very few pro-life Americans support any of this, which forces us to question their motives.
You can mostly use any and every one of them for a lot of purposes under fair use. I have seen a lot of Apes around the net, way more than I would have liked.

You can't make, say, a cartoon featuring one of them, but would you want to do that?
> There were two distinct lineages at the market

No there were two distinct lineages in two separate crossover events, the market was just one of them.

Which is even worse for the lab-leak hypothesis.
I'd recommend you try to do some mental work when walking. I've found that (over at least a couple of years!) it's a skill that I've developed.

Period tracker apps are already shady, most sell data. Future mothers buy a ton of stuff, and it’s very valuable to know when to time ads for these people.
It's kinda shame that people try to cram it into rigid object model instead embracing flexibility on the code side too.
Are you sure?

Certainly the first person to buy a bored ape from BAYC, they definitely entered into a legal contract with BAYC that granted them a copyright license.

But if you bought a Bored Ape NFT from someone else, did the sale contract you made with them definitely include another copyright license transfer? Or did you just buy an NFT?

What if the previous owner of your Bored Ape, while they held the copyright, took it upon themselves to separately sell the copyright to someone else, so by the time you bought the NFT, they didn't even have the copyright any more?

What if the previous owner of the Ape, as its copyright holder, and perhaps unknown to you, chose to release it to the public domain?
Fully anonymous global ransomware would be really hard without cryptos.

Yes, I do have a lot of empathy for them. I think the original Roe vs Wade decision was probably the best moral and legal compromise we could have made, and the fact that people take issue with it says more about their twisted need to control or shame others than their supposed moral fortitude. This is a dark day for a lot of people and an upsetting signal for the direction the country is moving. I'm not thrilled about it.
>This is aside from the founders not being presented with a firearm that can put 6" holes into a kindergartner's body at the rate of 45 rounds per minute.

Citation required... the only way you're going to get a 6" hole in a human body is with something like a .50 BMG (which is an anti-material rifle) or maybe a .45-70.
Because "killing someone" and "owning something that can kill someone" are VERY different things. Pretending that isn't the case is ridiculous. It is entirely possible to argue that what/how to limit ownership of "things that can kill people" is a much bigger gray area than "thou shalt not kill".

To be absolutely clear, I'm in favor of stricter gun laws and I don't believe in absolute bans on abortion. I just hate it when people claim that anyone that does want a ban on abortion is a hypocrite or out to control everyone else. There are plenty of people that believe that abortion is murder, and that believe is entirely consistent with their views. They're not all bad people, they just have a different view of the world than us. And anyone that tries to lump them all in the evil bucket IS the problem.
Unlike the eclipse this one will last a few days. Then the planets will slowly drift apart but for the next couple of mornings it will be noticeable.
This was just limiting it to this century, though. The pattern is well established and well understood. It isn't even very complicated. Each state has 2 senators and at least one representative. The number of electoral votes of a state is the number of senators plus the number of representatives. So a state like mine, Vermont, has three electoral votes even though we have only about 500,000 citizens. If population size were uncorrelated with political leanings, this would just contribute noise to the electoral process, but it doesn't. Less densely populated regions are conservative. The more such regions there are in a state, the lower the population of the state. So in effect conservative voices are given extra weight in elections. If you believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence -- "all men are created equal" and whatnot --, this should offend you.
Isn’t this from Thomas’s concurrence?

In other words, Thomas has always been crazy about this sort of thing but no one else on the court agrees.

Hence why nobody else signed on to this concurrence.

> exactly the force needed to distribute crypto more widely into more hands

Yes, but not "crypto." Bitcoin. The entire crash was due to VCs and hedge funds overleveraging into shitcoins [1]. It started with Luna and that created a domino effect for the rest of it. Sprinkle on the panic typical to all markets and kablamo.

In essence, that's good (albeit painful to some degree) because it's a truly free market. Bad players got washed out and there's more to come as far as I can tell. Fairly excited as, like you suggest, it means people have a chance to acquire more Bitcoin while they still can.

Nope. In my experience, Rust saves you from very common obvious errors that junior programmers make, certainly not 10x programmers who have been writing C for a long time. It's great when you're starting out (which is why it's massively popular with new graduates or people who are just learning to program), but at some point it's questionable if the hand-holding Rust gives you is worth the extra development time overhead, more complex syntax, etc.

It also depends on what you're writing. If you're writing cryptographic routines, or protocol handshaking, the tradeoffs are heavily weighted in Rust's favor.
> Emotions, morals, etc., while important for driving the end result, still must comply with the legal system.

This is exactly backwards
Good point - the individual ape may not even be a copyrightable image.
I think it's kind of rubbish but 140 pages long and most serious scientist have better things to do than going through all that.

But at a glance he seems to be using bayesian analysis in a not very valid way.
Unfortunately I don't think that will work because the attacker is in the middle. They can request the verification number, then forward it to the victim.

It sounds like we want identity verification, which while solved for computers, is much harder for humans.
The original was truly horrible too!

“If you really want to reduce murders, you can’t outlaw it, that just lets rich people murder. Instead, you make guns and other self protection widely available”

To anyone who is convinced abortion is baby murder, this is what you just said. This argument only ever makes sense if you treat the fetus like a non entity and believe the opposition to abortion is purely hatred of female autonomy. The vast majority of Americans in favor of some abortion restrictions (which 75% of Americans are) have that opinion not because of the above but because they believe that fetus becomes a person at some point between conception and birth.
I'll add this because it surprised me when I heard it: avocados, like apples, aren't true to seed, they are cultivated by grafting. If you plant the seed of a delicious Hass avocado, after 10+ years you'll get funny avocados.
But that was the original promise of crypto currency, that it would replace cash and checks and credit cards for all transactions. It was based on a lot of ignorance about how money actually works, but that was the claim way back when. I had a manager back in 2007–8 whose wife had a bakery that accepted Bitcoin as payment and he was a big crypto advocate. I could tell back then that all the claims made no sense. What amazes me is that crypto still hasn’t gone to zero a decade and a half later. Although as John Maynard Keynes said: “Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
> nothing to do with your actual business or business model or innovative technology or hand-wavy "disruption" or large addressable market size or traction

I would take out "traction" from this. If a company has strong traction (that looks sustainable) it will outweigh everything else.
If you got cryptos from selling contraband, and would rather not pay taxes/leave a paper trail from converting to fiat
> Canadian roaming rates are so utterly shit the SIM card comes out the second I'm on the plane. It's like $15 per day to roam in the EU. Not per month, per day, let that sink in... I can get a plan in Europe for 30€ month that puts my Canadian plan ($90/month) to shame...

That's cheap. My Austrian provider charges 1 Euro per 100 KB when roaming in Canada (no - that's not a typo). So for 10 GB that's a cheap 100k Euros.
"in your browser" is usually a good simple substitute.

> For most of history birth is the inevitable outcome of pregnancy.

Induced abortion has, from documentary evidence, been a thing for at least ~3500 years, and even without induced abortion very many pregnancies historically ended in miscarriage (still the case) and/or maternal death (much less the case, now, but still a concern.)
> What I'm trying to get to is that "My body my choice" is a nice thing to chant at a protest, it's also a pretty damn bad argument, I can't believe we are still doing this AFTER covid.

It's really not a bad argument if you consider acute vs routine circumstances. Otherwise how could we argue against blackout restrictions[1] in cities now that WWII has happened?

Gerrymandering, the electoral college, and the senate ensures that it isn't a majority whose views are represented, but rather the distribution of voters in states/districts (disproportionate voting power) that influences who becomes our representatives. This is compounded with how flawed First past the post voting is.
Interesting. But how does the author expect anyone to implement a grand scheme of organizing their thoughts when they can't even be bothered to organize the implementation guide, by their own admission?
This is not Stockholm syndrome. It's just learning a pattern.

That's one of the top few specialties tasks for humans. After you learn it, you immediately know its meaning, it becomes easy with no thinking at all required.

Anyway, the plain English example from Elm on the sibling comment is much better, because it's already easy to understand before you learn to recognize it.
San Salvador is a different country from El Salvador, just for the record.
There's no possible reading of the original comment where it is "objectively incorrect." Clarifying what is meant by extremely vague labels like "Pro-choice" and "Pro-life" is far from a definition game.

> what matters is how many approve of Roe being overturned

Exceptionally few people understand exactly what the implications of Roe are so this framing is useless.
I don't really get tired at this point, no. I'm primarily a wedding photographer and I usually go easy on it the day before a wedding just to give my feet a break.

Perhaps it was A/B headline testing when this was submitted. Currently this is the headline that shows for this article. “Spurred by Roe overturn, senators seek FTC probe of iOS and Android tracking”
How is this solved in Rust though? The only thing Rust solves is that you don't accidentally hang onto a bad reference, but I'm failing to see how &str/String is meaningfully different from char/string since the same issue applies (char = borrowed, string = owned). My Rust is rusty so apologies for the pun & any syntax errors. Let's say you have the following:

// some process managed by team a
fn caller1(...) {
String s;
level1Callee(&s);
}

// some process managed by team b
fn caller2(s: &str) {
level1Callee(s);
}

// library 1 by team c
fn level1Callee(iDontNeedOwnershipOrDoI: &str) {
level2Callee(iDontNeedOwnershipOrDoI.to_owned())
}

// library 1 by team d
fn level2Callee(iNeedStrongOwnershipBecauseIMutateTheStringAnyway: String) {
level3Callee(&iNeedStrongOwnershipBecauseIMutateTheStringAnyway)
}

This is roughly what happened in Chrome as I understand it (except multiple times because of independent libraries that didn't notice that they probably should have just made a copy to begin with). Let's pretend the codebase had been written originally in Rust. How does Rust avoid this problem from coming up? This didn't happen in Chrome because of ownership. It came up organically because of years of refactoring obfuscated things. For example, level2Callee started out not needing strong ownership but then started calling a library that did (refactoring a complex codebase is very hard & time consuming). Rinse & repeat after many years. Now maybe Rust tooling is better able to point out the unnecessary acquiring/dropping of the strings but that seems unlikely - the problem is statically very difficult to lint around.
Bunch of humbug. I was once away in Europe (many years ago) and everyone used Whatsapp. But now, here in Europe (the same place that I came from), no one uses it (or at least no one tells me about it).

I was of course in a different country in Europe. Since it’s a mini-continent and all that.

Is it just application whitelisting / blacklisting basically? Sounds like Applocker which is used extensively and not THAT much work to really tune. Bit of upfront work and then its pretty smooth sailing from there - especially of course if you just run it in the monitoring mode without any enforcements.

Maybe because it's just unanswerable? We're not talking about the right to pierce their ears or vote. We're talking about the termination of a living organism. I am pro-choice, but an intelligent mostly pro-life friend of mine tasked me to ask the most ardent activists on their side to answer, "when does human life begin?" It's a simple question to state, and yet many on the pro choice side absolutely refuse to grapple with it. It's become a great shibboleth question to find who is beyond reasoned debate on this issue. Yes, we are male. Yes, we acknowledge their is a thorny rights issue. There's also the question of rights of the organism being aborted. And the science of what a "viable" fetus is has progressed greatly since the 1970s. This is an uncomfortable conversation to have, but no one has a right of gender to say it can't be had.

Web services build by the government are a disaster, can't handle a decent volume of requests or are simply too buggy.

Profit implies scarcity. Hence once you have abundance people come up with the broken window fallacy, because nobody has figured how to reduce the return on capital to something a saturated economy can support.
Any legislation passed by congress will get challenged by the states that want to restrict abortion. This court will side with the state challenging the federal law.
It also makes it difficult and time-consuming for a good actor to use effectively.

As far as I could tell (although I retired in 2019, so might be out of date), you can't use one short code through multiple aggregators, so if you want the benefits of multiple routes, you've got to have multiple shortcodes or live with sending from regular phone numbers.
It's complicated. States can't just limit a persons rights because they aren't explicitly enumerated in the constitution. The federal government does have an expressed interest in making sure states don't legislate away peoples rights, whether they are explicitly enumerated or not.

Ask HN: How to develop GIS program for fantasy maps?
In working with data from real world GIS map programs as part of my day-to-day workflow, my daydreams go into the maps I’d actually like to be looking at, which are those from the home brew TTRPGs that I’m a part of.

If I wanted to make a simple program to help Dungeon Masters make and store map data to use in app or elsewhere, where do I start?

It just feels like any existing application is overkill (be that price or features for real world applications) for this use case; Plus my only experience developing is mostly front end work with HTML, JavaScript, and PHP to glue stuff together.

I’m willing to learn any language or do deeper research to figure it out myself, but unsure of where to begin. Thanks for any and all input!
