While I don't think sweeping generalizations are useful, there do seem to be some categories in which Japan has seen slower modernization than others.

This doesn't have to imply anything more than that, just like the prevalence of copper broadband doesn't say much more about the US than the fact that the US has some pretty antiquated broadband technology. You can argue about "coulds" and "shoulds", but it's always more complicated than that.

My personal experience in this space is specifically related to "RPA / Robotic Process Automation". There is significant RPA demand (and growing) in Japan due to the significant number of old systems that have never been modernized, preventing traditional forms of API-centric automation from happening. I learned about this when consulting for an RPA product team, and was surprised that a disproportionately large percentage of their prospective customers were in the Japanese market.

I won't claim that Japan is "stuck in the 90s", but there are certainly some categories in which there seems to be a cultural tendency towards caution / away from modernization for the sake of it. This isn't inherently good or bad, just interesting. It's part of what's fueling the RPA hype cycle, which is arguably just a different path to modernization than the one many other companies followed. Acknowledging this doesn't have to be disparaging.

> For some reason it's culturally acceptable to make these kinds of comments about Japan in English language forums. But I don't really understand why... Japan is no doubt very different from other countries in various respects. But it doesn't seem helpful to say essentially "we are 30 years ahead of Japan".

Examining the rate of progress and current state of things doesn't automatically have to imply there was intent to disparage or conclude anything negative.

I realize that some people will do just that, but I'm just trying to say that not all discussion is coming from this place - I personally find the RPA thing fascinating, and it helped me better understand the nature of the problems some companies are trying to solve, and why those problems are more challenging in the Japanese market than others.
Fair enough. But then we get back to the core issue. Why should the unelected courts be the ones making this determination of what the appropriate balance is?

I know the argument gets overplayed, but there is something to be said about the fact that Roe was decided by nine white men.
Apart from rape, pregnancy is never forced on anyone.

In the case of the trolly problem, the law has always favored self preservation. It’s a non issue.

For accidental pregnancy, It’s widely accepted that the other party (males) can only reliably choose whether or not to have sex. They have no choice in the matter post-pregnancy.

I see no reason women can’t be held to that same standard.

I say this all as someone that is pro-choice. But I always prefer to be principaled in my reasoning.
That is incredible! It just needs a rear view mirror with the last page you visited in it ;)

>even in the comment you just wrote, you’re still arguing a different point than what you originally said. this time you’ve shifted from “cannot be used to do” to “cannot do”.

I think it is clear enough that I meant the same thing. If that wasn't clear, you can ask for further clarification. There is no need to make this into a pedantic game.

>but it’s impossible to have those discussions if you keep claiming one thing and then arguing the other thing.

No, it is not? Why would it be? In fact I will have those discussions with you now.

>why didn’t we have permission-less privacy-preserving coins before blockchains?

We don't have those with blockchains either. They are not permissionless nor are they privacy preserving except under some very extreme and impractical circumstances. You can have your permission to use a blockchain revoked if all the miners/validators reach consensus on blacklisting your wallet. Also, all public blockchains have no privacy by default as all the data is public.

>what are the better ways of achieving such global systems, and solving double-spend/consensus than blockchain, today?

Basically anything else, because blockchains do not actually "solve" consensus. The "consensus" is done simply by paying off the participants in increasing numbers as an incentive to stop them from bad behavior, it has nothing to do with the actual blockchain itself. They are able to "solve" double spend in a very contrived way, at the expense of being able to solve any other problem that might befall the network. The traditional way to solve double spend is to use good old fashioned accounting, it doesn't have that same constraint.
Zig is not memory-safe (without quarantining allocations forever which is insufficient for production). Rust is. This is an enormous difference which affects everything about these languages. For example, the "gentler learning curve" in Zig is precisely a result of not being memory safe.
My only reservations with clipboard managers are that I still do a lot of password transfer using the clipboard. If only my last copy is resident in memory then the risk seems low, but if it retains all of my history then it seems quite risky.

How do people using these apps manage this problem? Is everyone completely using password manager auto-fill instead?
Since you don’t even mention Daszak, while regurgitating the position he established years ago, you are per definition arguing in bad faith.

>I don't think you're seeing the theme of bodily autonomy here. If the underlying argument for abortion is "my body my choice", then that same argument should logically apply to vaccinations.

Like I said, no one threatened me (or anyone else, for that matter) with jail for getting (or not getting) vaccinated, did they?

Nor was anyone threatened with jail for refusing to vaccinate people.

Whereas, many state laws threaten prison (and even face the death penalty) for those who have or provide abortions.

Go to Prison != Folks don't want to be around you if you're more likely to get them sick with a potentially deadly disease.

So, no. It's not the same thing at all.

If you can't see the difference, nothing I say will mean anything to you.

The other point that I think is salient is what justice Ginsburg noted back in the 70s I believe. She said that abortion rights were trending towards a more “liberal“ direction. And then Roe came and galvanized the pro life movement dramatically.

We can only guess and hypothesize. But one has to wonder if the pro-choice movement would’ve been better off without row, and with the passage of time.
Rust can introduce some interesting performance issues when it comes to implicit Drop when leaving an object-in-memory's scope.
> The original you see today

Exactly proving my point.

A $15 print of the Mona Lisa makes it look good.

In truth, the painting is suffering from deterioration, the poplar panel is warped, the columns that used to frame her are missing, and restoration has obscured some details. A print doesn't convey the physicality of the cracked, rough surface of the paint, the sfumato technique, the almost total lack of visible brushstrokes, the gauzy veil, Mona Lisa's hair, the luminescence of her skin and the overall impression of glowing.

Whatever the actual quality and condition of the original, no reproduction will adequately represent it.
How widespread is checkbook use in the US compared to the fax use in Japan?

Asking because I had a bank account for almost a decade now, and I only had to use the checkbook twice, and it was pretty niche use-cases. I still have the same checkbook that I got back then, and I think I won't be able to go through the entirety of it even in multiple lifetimes.

Cannot comment on how widespread the usage of fax in Japan (since I haven't lived there myself), but, from what I heard from other people, you pretty much need to have access to a fax machine.

How often are the YC application cycles?

I’m about to leave my job to work on a fashion startup with my husband. There are some technical aspects to the business that I am building into products, but my immediate focus is to get his clothing store online.

At what point is it best to apply? After you have a working application environment? After you have 1-2 people on your team?

I took my motorcycle and went on a night trip to a 2000+ meter high mountain to watch Hyakutake passing by in 1996; the show was nothing short of spectacular: no other lights, no sounds, nothing else than its wonderful glowing shape.
Also watched Hale-Bopp years later, but at that time I couldn't move from the city lights pollution and missed like 90% of the show.

I don’t believe that’s accurate. The Congress is already talking about passing nationwide legislation to protect the right to abortion. Such legislation would still be constitutional even after this decision.

Having said that, I think national legislation is probably not the most effective way forward for the pro-choice movement. All that will do is continue to galvanize the pro life side.
People would argue that your natural right of control over your own body would be in conflict with the baby's right of control. Now we're back to square 1 where we're debating the limits of abortion and nothing has changed.

At no time in the history of the United States has that been anywhere near the purpose of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's one and only purpose is to exercise the judicial power of the United States in cases or controversies before it, with original jurisdiction as specifically enumerated in Article III, Marbury v. Madison, and with appellate jurisdiction with regard to all other cases.

It exists to referee the non-violent resolution of a subset of emotionally charged disputes through a functioning legal system. It does not exist to ensure that one side or the other wins.

My personal application is the front half of an operating system written in JavaScript (TypeScript). The browser portion fully loads with render and state restoration in about 175ms according to the Chrome performance tool in the dev tools.

The Node side of the app loads a bit slower in about 250ms but it’s also executing about 10x more code.

If anyone wants to easily get into Class D amps, Parts Express has private label Dayton Audio amps [1] with a variety of features and wattage levels. They use Wondom/Sure as their supplier [2].

They are pretty feature rich: they support I2S, Bluetooth, and Sigma Studio for DSP effects (using the Analog Devices ADAU170 IC).

I myself am pricing out a kit so I can build a ammo-can speaker box. I'll probably go with Parts Express as it's a 1.5hr drive to visit the brick and mortar store, and I can get the speaker drivers as well (plus other components).

>It’s a decision that enshrines as a right elective second trimester abortions

>State criminal abortion laws, like those involved here, that except from criminality only a life-saving procedure on the mother's behalf without regard to the stage of her pregnancy and other interests involved violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy. [0]

>This means, on the other hand, that, for the period of pregnancy prior to this "compelling" point, the attending physician, in consultation with his patient, is free to determine, without regulation by the State, that, in his medical judgment, the patient's pregnancy should be terminated. If that decision is reached, the judgment may be effectuated by an abortion free of interference by the State. [1]

>something that’s illegal in nearly every other developed nation

>second trimester starts at week 13

france allows abortions for the first 14 weeks (into the second trimester) and allows for medical exceptions even later
same with spain

>Current Norwegian legislation and public health policy provides for abortion on request in the first 12 weeks of gestation, by application up to the 18th week, and thereafter only under special circumstances until the fetus is viable

sweden allows abortions through 18 weeks and allows for medical exceptions even later

denmark allows abortions after 12 weeks due to various conditions including poor socioeconomic status of the mother

>In Great Britain, abortion is generally allowed for socio-economic reasons during the first twenty-four weeks of the pregnancy
germany seems the most severe of the large EU countries which allows for abortions in the first trimester and only after that in cases of unlawful sexual acts.

the US state of Ohio, for example, made abortions illegal at ~6 weeks today, so I feel your comparison to "other developed nations" leads the uninformed to believe that the US states are enacting similar laws to other developed nations, which is not the case.

also the overwhelming majority (>90%) of abortions in the US are during the first trimester

> It's shrouded in hypocracy.

You're misunderstanding me here (and I think this is the crux of a lot of "liberal" misfire on this and other issues): I don't think they're hypocrites, I think they're operating on different axioms from me (and probably you) and their views are entirely self-consistent. Absolutely reprehensible axioms to me, but they're not idiots.

There is a minor hypocrisy in framing, but it's not really important and you never have to talk long before the real axioms come along. Just look at this subthread's dissenting views and find the cases where people subtly or overtly admit that "life" is relative, and the innocence of the child is key. Then consider: innocent compared to who?

They do not believe that people have a right to life. They believe innocent people have a right to life. Once you understand that, what they say makes more sense. The mother who has a child out of wedlock (rarely will they consider the possibility a married person might need or want an abortion) and the man in your house demanding food have a thing in common: they both broke a rule considered sacrosanct and they both "knew what they were doing had consequences" (never mind broken condoms, hormonal birth control not working for medical reasons, let alone more obvious things like rape).

It's not hypocrisy. Most people who fall on the side of "pro-life" arguments believe these things for reasons that make sense to them, and not always for religious reasons.

It 'sounds like' any bond right, but compare the rates. One pays 20%, one pays 0.1%. One is 'junk', one would deserve as many As as Moody's has to offer.

(I don't think they actually rate them? Not from the US. But in some hand-wavy approximate way, they're as good as US gov bonds since they're similarly backed. (Actually why do you have both CDs & 'treasuries'? Monetary/fiscal separation sort of thing?))
I remember some of the founders of the first startup I worked for commenting after its acquisition that before being acquired they had been terrified that the huge acquirer would just go "Oh, we should do that" and assign a dozen software engineers to design, implement and ship a rival product, but after acquisition from inside the huge corporation they could see they had nothing to worry about, assigning a dozen software engineers to go ship a rival product would have needed board level determination and nobody in the board knows the first thing about the actual product so that's not going to happen.
