Sure 2 Alabama Farmers farmers are in common.

But does a farmer in near Austin has more in common with the Farmer in Alabama or the Urbanites in Austin?

Would Occupation, be a better class than geographic, or age, or something else
The rest of the comment is the same exact meritless insinuation I've replied to 100 other times in this thread. It's tiring replying to people who don't understand the first thing about biology or virology because you have to retrace so much ground just to get them to the point where they can comprehend why they're 'not even wrong'.

But sure, I'll bite. Aside from the completely false claim there aren't horseshoe bats near Wuhan. A small grant (only $1.5M was ever paid) to a lab studying coronaviruses after a huge coronavirus outbreak (SARS) isn't remotely interesting and especially isn't evidence of a lab leak. And the "human subjects" was literally just to run PCRs on people who live near bats to try and catch viruses early.

More to the point, it's not difficult to see whether a virus was engineered or manipulated with GoF research and this one wasn't. So all of the silly distractions about right-wing bogeyman like Peter Daszak secretly funding Chinese bioweapons are irrelevant.
A single data point doesn’t give you any information about how much of the industry will fail. “Goes in line” —- yeah, because absolutely anything would fit.

“This is good for bitcoin”
It is quite quantitative, just not very precise. Good enough to tell you if a Virus emerged more than a couple of years ago or not.
> Now you might not agree that there is a child in this case; you might think that children begin existing and having rights once they pass through the birth canal and not before. Or you might think that even if there is a child that has rights, the mother's right to bodily autonomy trumps the child's right to life. But you can't say "I don't understand where they're coming from; 'the left' isn't trying to take away some other person's right" without being profoundly ignorant of the basic views of the people you're arguing against.

I think people want to make it about that, and that's fine. But should we force people to donate their livers, kidneys, bone marrow because someone will die otherwise? Oh, and the person you are donating to has Alzheimer's and you have to take care of them until either one of you die.

Forced birth is kinda/sorta/almost the same thing. The woman is forced to donate aspects of themselves that will affect them forever (more than just 'organs' in some ways), they may not even live through the event, and then take care of it for the rest of each others lives.

Long ago, I dated a woman who had broken her hip in such a way she could not have a child without losing the ability to walk for the rest of her life. She couldn't get her 'tubes tied' because she was too young. Think about that for a minute and the position she was in and now think about a position she might be in if she were in her early twenties today. She wouldn't be able to have a normal life and even back then, she never wanted to be unable to run with her child. IIRC, she's "tied" her tubes and her and her husband have adopted a child. But damn, it isn't always so black and white.

"If the latter, the correct solution would be to force the law be applied fairly..."

That's essentially what Bruen decided.

NYC required arbitrary permission from a person rather than just meeting the requirements and following a written process. It also required a special need, distinguishable from the general public; where "special" was left to interpretation.

In one county in California, it was even worse, where it was widely known that the way to get permits was to donate to the sheriff's campaign or furnish the sheriff's office with cool tech and perks.

After Bruen, there still can be a licensing process, but it must be written, and available to everyone who follows the process. Maybe it will be a two-hour safety seminar and some fingerprinting, or maybe it will be a 3 week tactical training course and a blood sample.

Frankly, the decision itself to strike the law was correct, regardless of your political affiliation. It's also fairly low impact... no mass shooter or gangster bothers with a permit anyway (certainly not the racist Buffalo shooter, who wasn't deterred by lack of a permit). Other problems like suicide are entirely unaffected.

The impact comes from the opinion, which sets precedent for how all other firearm laws will be evaluated. If you believe that government should really be in charge of guns, then you aren't going to like it.
The first paragraph of the HN guidelines:

Societal issues are apparently high up in what good hackers find interesting along with technical things.
>If guns are banned

You know they won't just magically disappear right? They will still exist en masse. Guns are mostly banned in Mexico, but the cartels use them to control the government. Careful what you wish for.
You forget that those 2% of farmers are now supported by the entire bulk of an industrial economy. The work hasn’t disappeared, it’s just moved to other sectors like tractor and fertilizer production, genetic research, the petroleum industry, shipping networks, refrigeration and all the other things that make it possible to produce so much food with a small number of farmers. Until we automate all of that we’re no where near post scarcity.
> In many states you totally can own a functional tank, missile system, or explosives -- you just need the right $200 stamp from the ATF and maybe a background check.

I'm aware and my point was explicitly about being able to drive them around wherever I like, under the guise of it being the rough equivalent of concealed carry for an MLRS.

You can't; there's restrictions. At the minimum, it's likely that people would argue they're heavy and would harm infrastructure (or outright destroy it in the case of some tanks).

Separately, explosives are also tightly controlled, but are still a key part of armaments.

> the ability to govern their own bodies

I see this frequently repeated, but it's clearly sophistry,
similar to the language trick in a comment below where "It's not a baby, it's a fetus" is used to subvert reality.

Women can very well govern their own bodies, but a 6 month old baby is definitely not "their own body" and one can very well understand why large portions of society would want to see it protected against abuse.
In finland it depends. In Helsinki? Nope. Anywhere else? Yeah.

Possibly they were stupid enough to get high on their own supply, and kept operating capital in cryptos instead of USD.

I would be terrified too, if my business lost over 50% of it’s cash reserves. Or rather they still have the BTC, but it’s worth one third of peak
It's inflammatory, outright disinformation, outright misinformation, or just something the service owner doesn't want to carry. Discussion a lab leak hypothesis is not the same as claiming COVID leaked from a bioweapon laboratory or was intentionally leaked for <reasons>.

That being said, social media sites flagging posts is very different from outright censorship. It's not uncommon for someone to actually get censored/removed from a site claiming its censorship over discussing some topic when really it was a history of dipshit behavior and flagrant TOS violations.
IANAL, but I was once advised on this by a friend who was. In short, the justice system is very biased in favor of non-profits such as food banks. Nobody needs to tell a jury "if you award $$$$$ to the guy who ate the bulging can of bad tuna, that'll mean a whole lot of needy people going hungry". A lawyer deciding to sue the Food Bank (or a Director of the Food Bank, or ...) knows that "Defend the Food Bank, for Free" is the sort of "+10 to your own Reputation" side quest that some real heavyweight law firm might find irresistible. Etc.

Not only that but once half of the population has lost bodily autonomy why would anyone believe that their rights are safe?

Today a woman can be compelled to use an organ in her body to keep another person alive.

What’s to stop the court from ruling that if you have 2 kidneys you can be compelled to donate one to keep someone else alive?

What happens when a deadbeat dad is the only match for a child with organ failure? Why shouldn’t they be compelled to give up an organ to keep their offspring alive?

Libertarians should be in the streets protesting the loss of bodily autonomy.
And all of us should be afraid.
Which ones would you recommend, then?

Personally, I find Fukumoto, Ebisu, and Komé, pretty good overall, and my personal favourite is Bon, actually in Bee Cave. I don't think any of them would be considered "fine cuisine", but that I also like.
Why, what are the super fiddly parts?

It's very generally true that, when you have money and a functioning economy, buying a product to do some well-understood task requires less effort than building something to do it yourself. Similarly, it's easier to look up the answer to a well-known math problem than to solve it yourself. The advantage of DIYing existing things is usually just that you build competency you can later use to DIY things that don't exist yet.
I am sorry you had to deal with hysterical people, but I’m just taking Thomas at his word when he says a court overturning Grisewald, Lawrence and Obergafel and would be prudent. It’s not the same thing at all.

Also, as an aside, we have internment camp like settings for brown asylum seekers and have mistakenly deported American citizens to them on multiple occasions, but this is an ongoing issue that Trump did not fix, rather than one caused by Trump.
Unclear. The whole crypto boom may have been an artifact of low interest rates.
The junk bond part ("staking", etc.) definitely was.

As I point out occasionally, most retail financial scams appeared in the 17th through 19th centuries, as newspapers made it possible to reach large numbers of suckers. There's not much innovation. Most of crypto is the same old scams, repackaged. Look up "bucket shop", "blind pool", "tulip mania", "Mississippi bubble", "Florida real estate scam", and "high yield investment program". Those alone cover most of crypto.

There have been overhyped tech booms many times in history, but most actually did something, such as build canals or railroads or electric utilities or networks. The crypto community has accomplished very little in the real world.
It has objectively gotten worse. Wages compared to cost of living have stagnated or declined, average height has declined, average age until marriage has increased to nearly 28 (which is usually what happens before things disintegrate) average IQ has declined, suicide and "deaths of disrepair" are way up, homelessness is way up. I can go on all day, things are bad and getting worse and have been since the late 60s/early 70s.

EDIT: And here come the down votes when I bring in facts the progressives don't like.
> And it's in the court now because this is the first time in 50 years that we've had a court regressive enough to vote it down.

This is silly. It's basically always in the courts. This particular case has been ongoing since 2018 IIRC. Before that it was June Medical. Before that it was Whole Women's Health v Hellerstedt.

> It hadn't been codified in law because there wasn't a need because the court's had settled the issue

Except it had not legislatively, and it needed to have been. At the same time as Ruth Bader Ginsburg was lamenting the flaws of Roe halting legislative process that she knew still needed to happen, Joe Biden was proposing amendments to overturn Roe v Wade so that abortion could be outlawed.

It is and always has been balanced on the head of a pin. Both sides have of course been using it more as a platform for fund-raising than doing anything legislatively, while warning that the other side was moments away from winning. Please donate $5, $10, or $50 to the cause.

I wonder how much of that was put into BTC. Might only be worth $150 million now
And many others are just more expensive.

I'm one of those $30 jeans people. An old girlfriend once convinced me to try on a pair of $200 jeans ("you don't have to buy them, just try them on"). I did it just to shut her up and looked at myself wearing $200 jeans in the mirror. Fit exactly the same, material seemed better quality, stitching was the same, etc. Yes, better. But definitely not $170 better.

Then again, I think Levi's are overpriced these days.
That is incorrect. The federal government can exercise eminent domain against the states, and that is not an old idea. I found it last referenced in a 2021 opinion authored by Roberts[1]

The pertinent text is

>Early cases also reflected the understanding that state property was not immune from the exercise of delegated federal eminent domain power. See Stockton v. Baltimore & N. Y. R. Co., 32 F. 9 (Bradley, Cir. J.). The contrary position—that a federal delegatee could not condemn a State’s land without the State’s consent—would give rise to the “dilemma of requiring the consent of the state” in virtually every infrastructure project authorized by the Federal Government.

It literally calls out that major infrastructure projects would not have been feasible without this power

That seems like a False Dilemma there is no technical or logical reason to assume that anything other than geographic would mean you are assigned a seat at birth that would follow you for ever with no ability to "move" to a different seat.

Also my comment does not say to forego all geographic basis but more so questioning the idea that we need continuous geographic zones.

Maybe 3 counties in Iowa and 3 counties in Texas, and 3 counties in Montana all want for form a new zone....
> In the long run, it jeopardizes the possibility of ordered progress because people perceive it as a serious intrusion into society and culture by elites—which judges are—and will resist and eventually revolt.

It's reasonable to say that the purpose of the judiciary is to protect rights, even when doing so is unpopular. If the judiciary was consistent in how it did that (for example: providing equal deference to the rights created by Roe and Heller) we might see less revolt. The issue is not "elite intrusion" but inconsistency.

Society's "right to decide" does not impugn my right to life and liberty. And the court is deeply inconsistent about whose rights, lives, and liberties it protects.

> Taking away a society’s right to decide the scope of social institutions like marriage

What gives El Paso residents the right to decide what the scope of marriage is in Austin? Indeed, what gives the government the right to regulate the "scope of marriage" at all?
Actually now SCOTUS just doesn't really mean anything, and no longer stands for anything consistent.

They've undermined their own position.
> “…crypto casino sector”

I would not call it casino. Casinos go through regulated scrutiny to test the games probabilities are accurate so you play against math, crypto is a an unregulated market so you (probably) play against or benefit of market inefficiencies.

woff2 is already a highly-compressed format so you shouldn't expect much in terms of savings. Maybe gzip could offset some of the fat added by base64 though.

I'm not trying to sway you - I've never had the tanks dry out. The summer months (when my wife and kids are out of school) the printer mostly sits idle. For whatever it's worth, I have one real complaint with this (ET-4550) printer: It's LOUD and slow, not a great combination. It sits about 6 feet from me in my office and if my wife has to print a 100 page PowerPoint for school - it's maddening. Luckily I have an understanding wife that tries to print after I'm done working for the day.
> It's also getting less politically viable when ~70% of Americans have had covid (the CDC estimated 60% in late April)

This means nothing. The virus reinfects people with existing immunity. For example Senator Wicker from MS is on his _third_ infection: https://www.magnoliastatelive.com/2022/06/13/senator-roger-w... Two of those infections have been in the last four months alone!

We have to use NPIs like masking to stop the virus from spreading in order to stop new variants from evolving. There is no herd immunity. There is no natural immunity.
And don't forget, that door swings both left and right.
Shit, if that's accurate, better get in before they shut it down like we're doing in Canada
I mean, there are digital servos that are much better, and need I2C or SPI to control, that's another story.

But analog servos could easily change the PWM range to span e.g. 1% to 99% instead of the silly 8%-10% or whatever it is now, and software would be trivial to change, the PWM pins on microcontrollers can do any duty cycle. It would be an easy 10X resolution improvement because the PWM settings on these microcontrollers are usually 8-12 bits for the entire 0%-100% range.
> “Yes, ethereum is a currency in a way where you can exchange [non-fungible tokens, or] NFTs and stuff … but as far as buying food and all that, maybe not,” one crypto-enthusiast diner, Marc Coloma, said as he munched on fries outside the restaurant. “People want to hold onto their ethereum. They’re not gonna want to use it.”

Then what is the point then? Apecoin and Ethereum certainly cannot be used for payments and holders don't even want to spend their ETH or APE crypto. They have either been terrified with the 10,000 BTC pizza purchase to never spend it or they are scared of the gas fees that will eat up the transaction cost if the chain gets congested again.

It is a loss of confidence that is so bad that they have no choice but to use dollars for payments instead.

That is a complete failure and it just took one crypto crash.
Abortions were introduced through a court precedent (which was vague based on what I read) and now it is overturned with a 200+ pages document explaining why they came to that conclusion.

Zachtronics games give you a limited playing field with a limited set of operations. The fun comes from thinking carefully about small problems, and doing a lot with a little.

If you work somewhere where

- the requirements for each piece of work are expressed completely clearly

- you get immediate feedback on whether your solution works

- you are given, without having to build it yourself, accurate metrics for how your solution measures up in terms of costs, speed and so on

- you get to revisit problems as many times you like at your leisure and reoptimize your solutions to make them more elegant or to prioritize different properties

then I definitely envy you. For me, those things being part of the zachtronics experience turn playing the games into a shortcut to the dopamine-producing parts I love about coding.
From the parent post:
The constitution doesn't speak about ... miranda rights... Yet those are still "rights" that you'd be awfully horrified to have destroyed, right?

And my response:
I have some bad news for you. SCOTUS blew that one up yesterday.

There is no longer a right to be Mirandized. That's what I said.

Officer Vega locked Tekoh in a room and threaten him and his family in order to coerce a confession.

That confession was used in the trial.

Are you saying there is some other way to recover damages from Vega? At best, had Tekoh been found guilty, he was looking at years of appeals. He still wouldn't have been able to sue Vega under the current ruling.

As I said above, yes, you still have the right to remain silence. But you no longer have a way to seek redress against a LEO who ignores that right.

I'm afraid that with internet and camera surveillance, authoritarianism is getting more and more sustainable / stable?
