Your comment actually made me think of something I had never considered: perhaps the mother's right against the child is self-defense.

The child is literally feeding off the mother until birth, taking energy, nutrients, maybe even killing the mother. I don't necessarily want to frame it this way, because I want to view the relationship as mutualistic or commensalistic, rather than parasitic, but I could see how it might be biologically a parasitic relationship.

However, a quick search shows that people against abortions say that biologically it must be "an organism that attaches to a member of a different species and feeds off that organism in a manner that is physically injurious to the other organism."

While it may not fit the dictionary definition of a biologically parasitic relationship, I believe it still can "feed off that organism in a manner that is physically injurious to the other organism."

So I think there could be an argument for self-defense.

oh yeah, drills were the FUNNEST. Earthquake drills were my favourite. No terrorist drills though, that's pretty American.
The rights provided by the 14th amendment are exactly the issue. Today's ruling does not strike a balance between the rights of the mother and the rights of the unborn child. It eliminates the rights of the mother.

There is a massive gray area, and Roe/Casey dealt with it just fine. Prohibiting restrictions early on in pregnancy and allowing restrictions later in pregnancy seems like a good solution to the competing interests at play.
I still disagree, but I think I better understand the disagreement now. I find it easiest to learn a new language by starting with the canonical beginner's book, e.g. the Pickaxe book for Ruby. I find it hard to learn tooling like CI/CD, logging/metrics, etc by reading or through personal projects, I much prefer to learn those on-the-job as necessary. It seems like it might be the inverse for you.

Even if a new codebase isn't exactly 'Effective Java' quality, it's good to have that reference to better articulate to yourself exactly how the codebase is flawed.
For the HN crowd, I'll suggest an AxiDraw over Cricut. Cricut tried adding a subscription fee just for people to continue to use the machines they already bought[1]. It was reversed over public outcry, but the fact stands that they're capable of bricking your machine with a dumb policy decision.

The AxiDraw has a high build quality, and you can use their open source software to drive it or other software that uses their published USB spec. EMSL are good people, but even if they weren't, they physically aren't able to remotely brick a machine once they ship it to you.

Economic persecution is oppression. Let's say they fabricate a legal case against you and make you pay a big fine. How is bitcoin helping you being less oppressed in these circumstances? Feel free to come with another example, where bitcoin would help. I can't think of any. That's why I'm asking.
That is wrong. Fetuses are considered "living beings" under Jewish law and abortion is generally not permitted. Exceptions are made for pregnancies which threatens the life of the mother. See f.e. https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/529077/jewish..., https://aish.com/48954946/, https://forward.com/news/501397/what-does-jewish-law-say-abo... This view is not materially different from the evangelical Christians' view which often also allow abortion if the mother's life is in danger, if the pregnancy was the result of rape, if the fetus is deformed and nonviable, etc.
Indeed, even though I generally support guns rights, I think they should be regulated by state law.

However, notice the difference: the 2nd Amendment is extremely clear in granting the right to bear arms, whereas the 14th Amendment needs to be twisted in an almost comical way to get out of it a right to abortion.

No, they aren't irrelevant. The fetus is an obligate parasite. It could be a person and still not have the right to force the mother to carry it to term.

When it comes to human health, every subject is like that.

How far does this extend? To riff off the classic example, what happens if there were a hypothetical medical condition where a violinist needed to be attached to your bloodstream for nine months and would die if removed beforehand, and you sign a contract agreeing to it before deciding at month seven that you've had enough and cut her off, killing her? Have you committed a moral crime there? And if so, should you face legal punishment for it (a separate question)?
Depends on the law as some laws forbid abortion even in rape and incest, which I'd argue are strong examples of someone specifically not choosing to have sex.
Agreed.

This weakening of civil rights at the Federal level allows those Americans who are sexist to enact sexist laws where they have concentrated power within State boundaries.

And I'm sure that empathy is comforting to those who will now die because their miscarriage can't be handled in a medically sound way.

Possibly less so to their loved ones, some of whom may act violently in response to a system that killed a person they care about.

I doubt they're going to care meaningfully about which legal mechanism it was that would have been most appropriate to use to allow their loved one to live.

More directly, "censorship-resistence" == "criminal enabling".

In practice the primary use cases for Crypto Currency are:

1. Running scams (see: NFTs, most exchanges, etc...)

2. Speculation (HODL)

3. Laundering dirty money

4. Buying contraband (drugs, guns, etc...)

5. Tax evasion

6. Extortion payments (crypto-locking viruses, etc...)

7. 419 scam payments

8. There was once a way to pay for burritos from a specific restaurant using Bitcoin.

9. Everything else

It really shouldn't be a surprise that lawmakers have taken a dim view of the subject. That said, there are a handful of legitimate uses for cryptocurrency, but it's hard not to think that we could find better alternatives for those use cases, especially given the disastrous environmental impact of many of these crypto schemes.
My dad talks about backpacking through Europe in the early 60's as an American and it's all open doors and family dinners in every little town.

My experience more recently is that people seem to be aware that an American traveling abroad probably agrees with most of their criticisms and they're just curious about what it's really like here.
I think asset here means the computer itself.
I'm not saying it's a simple moral question. I'm not sayin abortion is something that has no trade-offs. While I agree with you, how a reasonable person can strongly object abortions, and they should not get abortions. But when their moral stance spills out to legislation, I am concerned.
You can say we "engage to stop infanticide", but millions of people endure child abuse and thousands die from it every year. And having no access to abortions will surely increase that number.

At which point a fetus is a person? We do kind of have an answer to this, when it's viable outside of the mother's body.

If we keep going down the rabbit hole of fetus rights, it gets real ugly. Is contraception murder? Is plan b murder? Does having a miscarriage warrant an investigation? Should we prosecute a fetus that absorbed it's twin in-utero? What about IVF and thousands of embryos that are thrown out? What about stem cells?
Both sides believe they are the moderates and the other are the radicals. Until you zoom out and stop playing tribal politics, you will realize both sides are batshit insane and nothing really matters except being civil to one another and trying to connect with others in ways other than politics.
>Do you think you should have the right to have an abortion 1 day before the due date of a baby?

I think it is fair to force a point of no return in a pregnancy after which we prohibit abortion (edit: beyond situations that threaten the mother's life). The most important aspect to me is that the person has the time and freedom to make that decision that is right for them. If we are trying to be scientific about it, viability occurs around 24 weeks so that seems like a reasonable deadline for a decision.

The legislation in Texas empowers citizens in collecting bounties from anyone aiding a woman (and the woman herself) in getting an abortion.

> Capitalism optimises for monopolies. Everyone agrees on this - this is why we have antitrust mechanisms.

This is not even close to being correct. First, monopolies are almost always the products of government interference with markets; "natural" monopolies are rare. Second, antitrust mechanisms were not put in place by benevolent governments to help consumers; they were put in place by governments who were getting political contributions from the failed competitors of the so-called "monopolies", who could not compete on a level playing field and so went to the govenrment to buy favors. The actual results of antitrust enforcement have been to make things worse for consumers, not better.
Most of the examples you mention are actually protected at the federal level, through the constitution, i.e. people voted to protect those rights. No one voted on abortion at the federal level.

And abortion is not just a medical procedure, there is a third party involved: the baby. Now I find the religious view that a baby exists as soon the sperm touches the egg ridiculous. But I find equally ridiculous the dismissal of a viable baby's life implied by calling it just a "medial procedure".

The reality is that there is likely a broad consensus in the US for legalising abortion up to 12 weeks, the way it is in most of europe.
Honestly I don't care if a fetus is a person. I can be dying of cancer and it is still up to you to choose if you consent to a bone marrow donation. No country on earth will require you to make that donation, even though it would be less harmful to you than the average pregnancy.

This is what solves the dillemma for me, others may differ.

You do understand how this can be twisted for __very__ bad things, right?
This is really the crux of the matter. Thank you for bringing it up. The issue for the pro-life is crowd is not about life, and it never has been. The real goal is socially repressive puritanism and a desire to punish women for choosing to have sex.

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.
> …when one side believes abortion to be a totally unrestricted right despite never appearing in the constitution…

Bud there’s a whole amendment about how if it’s not mentioned in the constitution it’s assumed you have the right.

> This will force people to talk to each other. To convince each other. To work together. That’s ultimately a healthier outcome, even if things are a little worse while we figure things out.

What part of this ruling makes that outcome happen?
It is a small hill, I was interviewing with other companies at the same time and at the end was hired. Otherwise I'd have time to make that weird github requirement and had time to interview with them.
I know someone that just had a baby two weeks earlier. Other than a c-section, the baby required no incubation or anything special, or anything different than what a full term baby would require. It was fully formed and is totally able to survive outside the womb. Maybe a little a lower weight.

Just seems wrong that you think that the mother could kill it up to the last moment of birth, for even the most absurd reasons.
Maybe implement a two-way verification, for example:

In the app/website:
"You will receive an SMS with two 6-digit numbers, one to certify that we sent it to you and another to type bellow. Our chosen number is 887-987, type the another one"

In the SMS:
"Two-way verification. Check if it's us with number 887-987 and confirm with number 543-621"
The WDC C compiler for the 65816 takes advantage of this (relocatable direct page). And the relocatable stack. In fact I believe what it does is relocate the stack to at least partially overlap the direct page.

It's still an awkward target though.

> New? Like it or not, the position of the Catholic Church on abortion has been extraordinarily consistent through the centuries.

That's not even remotely true!

For the vast majority of the history of the Catholic Church early term abortion was acceptable. It was only the 1588 that it was outlawed, and that didn't last long, only a few years. Another ban was instituted in 1869.

At the timescale of the Catholic Church, the current extremist position on abortions is extremely recent. Far less established as precedent than say Roe was.

> Well, they're discrete problems.

I'm not convinced they are. Invention is often a case of adopting a solution well known in another discipline. Discovering that these two things share a category. We keep discovering things that are isomorphic to each other.

In the end git is keeping a database of code changes as write once data entries, and presenting the snapshots for human consumption. It does a very bad job of pretending that's not the case.
This is really funny to me, because I generally view danluu.com as a pretty clean, "low design", low-complexity site, so it's odd to see how complex it actually is. (Or at least was, since this is an old post; the current version seems to be much lighter.)

Also I'm now realizing that it's a bit silly to call things like these "static sites". Sure, it's not backed by a database, but it's by no means "static". The entire point of Javascript was to make web pages more dynamic! If you're loading and using JS on your site, it might be "statically generated", but it's certainly not "static".
"Acceptable" is a vague word. Do I approve of it? Obviously not. Do I think society should be okay with it? Obviously not. Do I think they should be prosecuted for it? No.
ambiguity can be solved by random action.

Fair point! I guess when I see people saying "OOP isn't getting us what we want" ... then I want to point out that it was adopted for a different use case for which people are claiming it's falling short for?

100%. The court took this decision away from human beings. You no longer get to choose when you procreate. At some point, the court says no longer your choice.
This isn’t really Christianity collectively. Lots of what’s happening in America is due to an American heretical brand of Christianity with its own motives outside the teachings of Christ.

> Ruth Ginsberg held that Roe v. Wade as a bad decision.

This is a very misleading reading of that critique.

Ginsburg would've preferred the right to abortion be established a) explicitly a right of women, not a right of doctors to practice and b) via many incremental decisions, making reversal harder.

Practical critique; not "bad law", but "not secure enough to trust". As the recent decision demonstrates quite effectively.

First of all: a disclaimer: I work for Austin Software. Before Austin Software I worked at one of the biggest software factories for eight years, and before that as a freelancer. I know that experience doesn't cover the full spectrum of options we have today in terms of "middlemen", but I have experienced some of the trade offs that you can find in the different options. Not every company or any developer has the same needs and neither Austin Software or any other option is the best one for everyone. Having said so, I think may not be the cheapest "middlemen" out there, but they are investing in giving us good perks and finding good matches with clients. Providing perks gets easier with scale, and I've seen them reach some milestones (for instance providing private health insurance) far quicker than other companies. I don't feel my career as managed with a top down approach but they really pay attention to our needs and interests in terms of client assignments. We have periodical meetings with engineer managers to discuss all that. Also, the only way they have to increase what they charge for my services is increasing my salary. That doesn't use to happen in a software factory and that aligns our interests naturally. Freelancing on the other hand doesn't give you easy access to some kind of companies and so many interesting projects. To get the most of one developer they need to be doing something they see as an important step of their career and I think Austin Software is trying to build a good service to find good matches to make it happen.
