Denying people information to make a decision because they might react in an uninformed manner is so hilariously on-brand for Dan Luu.

Remember his blog post about walking into an Apple store and harassing (and then writing a long blog post mocking...) a poor retail employee because he wanted a laptop of a specific weight, they were understandably a bit confused and thought there was some sort of XY problem and asked for more information......and for some inexplicable reason he could not simply take 15-30 seconds of his life to detail the need to them? No, see: Dan Luu is Very Important, Very Very Smart and Completely Unique Needs and you are just a lowly NPC service worker who could not possibly understand his needs or brilliance. And he never explains himself in that article either, because he's a troll.

The problem in the screencapped comment is the groundless accusation the information is incorrect, not asking if it's still correct. On many, many technical subjects, information that is five years old is uselessly out of date.

I've pissed away hours because I trusted a writeup or forum post about a problem or configuration method that stopped being relevant or even correct years ago. These days if I'm searching on almost anything technical, I immediately select the "last year" filter on google, or throw in the current year in quotes because I've been so consistently burned by this problem.

In the last century mathematics gained a new level of rigorousness and maturity. Technology is just a tool to suplement this trend. Same is happening in other disciplines today. Economics and politics won't be spared. Whether it will be crypto or some other idea doesn't matter. In the end there will be a formal framework for economy and politics verifiable by a computer.

> is there a way you could recast your question to be more biologically plausible?

It's a thought experiment, isn't the point that it is unencumbered by what is plausible? The reason for setting it up that way is to put responsibility for the sick person's life onto the healthy person through an action they took. I have no current alternative.

> 1 - Should you be allowed to withdraw your consent for the surgery?

Yes, the circumstances have changed.

I'm not against it but I can see why there could be rules against it.
We're in a post-truth society. Whether something is true or not is irrelevant.
Great example of the kind of cherry picking in these conversations. It is insincere and uncharitable, all you did was show your colors. Didn't say everything was exclusive to Rust, while you make no mention on the ground breaking work in CreuSAT. Given as an example of the kinds of things besides memory lifetime tracking that can make Rust code more robust against logical errors.
Agreed. RBG's refusal to step down was a massive blunder. She had too much of a cult of personality around her, and it went to her head.
>Yes, and I tell people not to store on exchanges, take custody of their coin

The reality is most people will not do that as it is a massive PITA. You can observe this right now.

>There are other ways to buy and trade coin too. Earning is best.

That's even worse, the coin can become devalued in between the time you started the work and when you get paid.

>Can you elaborate how a bad actor, any bad actor, can confiscate, steal, reorder or devalue a UTXO recorded on an immutable blockchain for all eternity?

They don't have to do that. They can use any number of other techniques to stop you from transacting. Or they can just lie to you, gain your trust and then scam you into giving up your coins, as seems to be very common these days.
With you on your first point.
> The specific exercise I have in mind is a lockless thread queue. < 20 lines in C .. ~200 lines in Rust.

Why is this your exercise you have in mind though? This is such a bad argument. Like, yes, if you work at doublylinkedlist.com where your entire job is writing a new linked list implementation every day of the week, Rust might be a bad choice. But that's not what any kind of commercial enterprise actually looks like. If I saw you writing a lockless thread queue at work, I'd tell you to stop wasting time.
She wanted a privileges or immunities clause (in 14th Amendment) based argument instead. The issue there is that reopening the Slaughterhouse cases (which shut that line of questioning down) will reopen the obiter dicta therein on birthright citizenship. Pick one, abortion or birthright citizenship?
An extension of my first point is that the supreme court decides what is constitutional and what isn't. My point was that only the supreme court can be allowed to overturn the supreme court. That's how it works. If the court decides that a previous court was wrong, then that's fine. That's how the system is designed.

tl;dr we have a really dogshit system that essentially puts 9 people in charge of everything

Or maybe it isn't as unpopular as you think?

> The country is rapidly hurtling towards religious authoritarianism, and the checks and balances to prevent that have largely been dismantled.

Yes of course, because religious authoritarianism == allowing democratically elected state officials to determine their own state laws

If anything is authoritarian, it's the insistence on the court creating federal "laws" where there is no majority in congress. If you want abortion protection, pass it through congress
There's no reason to believe that analogous companies won't emerge in cryptocurrencies (in fact it's already happening). VCs are betting there is a market to capture in reinventing payment gateways for merchants, easy-to-use wallets, privacy protections, insurance, escrow, loans, fraud detection, and so on top of cryptocurrencies. These corporations will stand between you and the merchants, and will be able to refuse doing business with you.

Don't expect you will be able to use "bare" decentralized blockchain protocols to bypass the new overlords any more than you can currently by sending cash in an envelope to bypass Visa.

Exapunks was my favorite of the three. If you liked TIS-100 I'd highly recommend trying out Exapunks.
No, you are looking at this totally the wrong way. I don't "dream" of the state defeating things. This is basic threat analysis, it does you no good to avoid doing it. Being "confident" that something will happen in the future is not the same as being confident that your current solution will hold, which chances are it will not. Also, multisig is not appropriate for a two way communication (like for instance, a financial transaction), you need three or more parties to make it useful.
Surely a manager directly approaching the individual and saying “don’t do that” is a better approach?

I mean, I personally agree with you.

However, there are very few true libertarians in our society and almost everyone has views that they wish to impose on other people. The pro lifers are not different than anyone else in this regard.
Do you dispute that American women are citizens and people?

Do you recognize that there isn't consensus about whether fetuses are citizens and people?
> The question is how much incremental risk do these activities expose us to, what is the cost/benefit of curtailing them, and what can we feasibly curtail. The risks are what they are, and while we might be misjudging them, knowing the origin of a single event is not especially helpful in recalibrating.

We're talking about multifactor authentication here. Where/how are you authenticating without internet access?

> Email is for old people

I guess that makes me old. Does that disqualify me from using multifactor authentication?

> Not as simple: stuff arrive in the spam folder. Some providers just reject your valid mail (my main email tld is exotic, it causes lots of troubles).

All of this happens to me with SMS much more often than it does with email.

> Plus email is almost as easy to spoof and intercept,

Agreed on spoofing, but that's not a problem for OTP authentication. Complete disagree on interception – I believe SMS is much easier to intercept, on average.

279 days into a pregnancy, the baby can survive fine outside the mother's womb. If it's born the next day, nothing physically changes about the baby whether it's inside the womb or outside. It's literally a baby. Yet in roughly half of the liberal states, it's perfectly legal to kill that baby for any reason while it's inside, but the next minute when it's outside you'd get life in prison for killing it. How is that logically consistent?
> One of my favorite working habits is to have two projects on my plate at a time: one project that is “just” implementation work, and another that involves some ambiguous design. If things go as planned, the implementation work finishes around the same time the design work does, so I can start implementing the design, and pickup another ambiguous task. Ideally, this is a cycle that perpetuates itself. Since implementation tends towards Hard Work and design tends towards Difficult Problems, this habit provides a pleasant balance of the two.

That's a great idea!

In my case, I often have multiple projects going, but it is generally one "Still under development, and as-yet unreleased," and one or more that are in "maintenance mode."

I've been working on a fairly ambitious iOS app (about 40 screens, and two backends -that I wrote, and two other backends that someone else wrote), for the last couple of years. It isn't yet in the final phase, but we can see it from here.

I have a number of apps, actively on the App Store, that I keep up to date, and a whole gaggle of SPM modules. I keep all of them up to date.

Keeps me busy.
Lab leak theory is never going to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. For that to happen, Chinese government would need to cooperate. And it is almost an axiom that they won’t, if it has a slight chance of making them look bad.
In that case, he should compare this parallel sorting function to a parallel quicksort and a parallel mergesort.

Once one iteration of QC’s partition function is run, you have distinct sub-problems on each side of the pivot element.

Similarly, mergesort starts out with parallelisable sub-problems; merging collapses the parallelism gradually.
I wouldn't really count on Bruce to have the complete picture, he is obviously biased.

He has some valid points but completely misses the mark because he doesn't understand the technology or its purpose. Having an immutable ledger would be very useful for things that should be public and transparent (e.g. where tax dollars are actually being spent, eliminating middlemen, etc.), but the structure right now is in its infancy and has its doors open to the same bad actors that have ruined the traditional financial systems.

At least blockchains are working to prevent collusion, whereas Bruce would rather whine to Congress and throw the baby out with the bathwater, either from ignorance, bitterness, or some combination of the two. Instead of fighting against the technology, he should advocate for public servants to be incorporated into a system that actually lets any casual citizen audit their input to the system as a whole, with confidence that all of the data is accurate and cannot be manipulated.
> You don't have a legal obligation to feed your children from your own flesh.

What a bizarre and morbid misunderstanding. You have the legal obligation to use that "flesh" to acquire food to feed your children.

Also, it's not like a fetus eats its mother's flesh from the inside (until I suppose it emerges from the husk like a xenomorph?).
Now let's see if far right leaning adults start lining up in droves for foster/adoption care classes. This will let them put their time/money where their mouths are. Cause and affect: you don't want abortion, you now have to take care of those who are not wanted.
> The best quality studies have followed up many people for several years. They have found no evidence that those who are more stressed are more likely to get cancer.

> Some people wonder whether stress causes breast cancer. But overall, the evidence for this has been poor. And a large study of over 100,000 women in the UK in 2016 showed no consistent evidence between stress and breast cancer.

There are plenty of other articles around summarizing studies like this.
The latter, but if I'm wrong please don't link to it.
> It will impact other countries relationships with china. And it would impact the kind and level of scrutiny over this kind of research.

I think the point is that neither of those would have had an effect on the pandemic. By the time it was major news in the US, it was too late for any of that to matter in terms of what to do about this pandemic. Not the next one, or our future relations with China, but with this pandemic.

Disney will provide employees ‘comprehensive access’ for reproductive care
But that's what I 'm saying. Don't waste my time, I didn't get to this high level job I'm in by being so stupid I can't write a ten line Python script. Interview me, ask what I've done, don't think your company is so advanced that nothing compares and you have to give basic skills tests to everyone. If a company thinks that at my level I might not have the skills I have demonstrated, I don't want to waste my time with that company. Entitled? Yes. I've earned it over the past 30 years.
> There is a important difference between a tragedy like a miscarriage versus a chosen act like having an abortion.

Fair! Well, a couple things.

First, many abortions are not chosen. We can go a little further and say many conceptions are not chosen (assault), but it's a little irrelevant, so I'm just noting.

Second I'm not comparing abortions to miscarriages. I'm comparing miscarriage (a thing that affects embryos and fetuses) to a disease that affects born people. In doing so, I note the different reactions people have to miscarriage (it's natural and unavoidable) to the reactions people have to a disease that statistically killed as many born people as miscarriage kills embryos and fetuses (the vast majority of us die, it's very very bad).

To me, this is strong evidence that we value embryos and fetuses differently than born people.

That's ridiculous.

It would have made sense to say that in 01990 when the hardware cost US$12000 and the software required constant hand-feeding. But now, virtually every home internet connection has a server built into the cable modem, you can rent a VPS for US$5 a month, and you can bring up a running nginx configuration with a single docker command.

Running a server isn't any more difficult than running an Ubuntu laptop — in fact, it's mostly the same tasks, except that you can version-control the server setup in Git — and considerably more educational.

So I would say that most developers don't run their own server, and that's a criminal failure of education that imperils the future of civilization.
I think you're bringing up one core issue, which is that people disagree about what 'unhealthy' means.
This isn't journalism by contributors to Unherd - it's an (unconvincing) OpEd published on Unherd by two people who are promoting their book.
> Moderates generally lack any firm convictions or anchoring principles beyond maintaining equanimity, and so contribute mightily to shifting of overton windows and ethical drift, where increasingly flawed outcomes are excused in the name of avoiding controversy.

> "you allow exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the pregnant person, thus subsuming the right of life of the fetus to the rights of the pregnant person to self-determination based on circumstance, which is wildly inconsistent"

I'd actually push back on this - I don't think it's that inconsistent. There's obviously a real different between a fetus at various stages of development and a child, but that doesn't mean it has to be binary yes or no. It's possible to try to have policy that understands the tradeoffs here and tries to get the best outcome we can despite them even though it's messy. It's why I think "life" isn't the right determinant.

So it's not about deciding if the fetus is a child or not, it's about considering the utilitarian tradeoffs when you take into account its development, suffering, and the suffering and developments of the mother.

That said, again my personal position is it's better on net for society to allow women full discretion here - but I don't think these kinds of casual constraints are irrational or inconsistent.
On face value sure it may look more restrictive, but it’s not a simple comparison. The exceptions for their 12 week limit are some of the PRIMARY reasons to get an abortion. In that regard, the soft 12 week limit could be more permissive of 20+ week abortions than our statutes.

Second, Denmark citizens have universal healthcare making it easier to access procedures, pregnancy testing, etc.

Third, prior to the ruling some states only had 1 abortion center state-wide. As well as rules requiring day long waiting periods, anti-abortion counseling, etc.

Imagine how access looks different when you must save up for months, travel 3 hours to visit a clinic, rent a motel for the night for the waiting period, and all while trying to not miss any days at work.

Hope that helps convey that rather dry comparisons of the weeks of various international statutes is a far cry from determining whether one system is “a lot more restrictive” than another.
Google
Voice needs to be linked to a valid +1 land or mobile number to function long term. My google voice number lasted for almost exactly 6 months after the us cell number it was linked to was disconnected (moved overseas for a while). It’s classification as a valid mobile lasted a bit less long and now I can not use it to send/receive SMS at all (voice mail works but it will not ring through and I can no longer use it to call. Before that many banks etc stopped

That was debunked here on HN right from the start though. And this is hardly a specialist medical community. I think the parent is right in asserting that the medical community knew this all along. Probably they didn't know for absolute certain, but it was considered highly likely. And that then got spun into a confusing message by the media. The WHO and the CDC were useless, but plenty of medical bodies around the world did much better than them.
The point you are trying to make is starting to require a lot of caveats. She might be director not a writer, she's a producer not an executive producer, etc.

Also, Lim lists herself as a director of the film in her Twitter bio[0], so it seems like a lot more than a maybe at this point.

[0]: https://twitter.com/adeleblim?lang=en

Separate from all that, I don't understand your larger point about Lim. She went from Crazy Rich Asians which grossed over 200 million, and then went directly to work on Raya, which grossed over 100 million, and now is directing and producing her own movie with hand chosen writing talent. Where exactly is she struggling? And where are writers being forced on her?
discord is a big offender
There's no reason that a service's "proof of personhood"/anti-bot mechanism has to be the same as that used for OTP delivery, though.

Google does this very well: They require a phone number of spam account creation prevention – once. After that, I can delete the phone number from my account and use a FIDO key, TOTP or any other 2FA method.

Secession is unconstitutional. Splitting up an existing state is consitutional.
Thats still two orders longer than it should take
it is really sad how many people chime in on this issue with zero knowledge of the fact that some people NEED to get an abortion for health reasons
Keep in mind in 1992 when WV amended its state constitution to remove the miscegenation prohibition 25% wanted to keep it.

This ruling does not prohibit anything. Regardless, in a democracy other people's beliefs are entirely a sufficient condition in what the government will do. Maybe not sufficient reasoning for you, but again, it's a democracy, not your fiefdom.
A fair large degree though. However, as I understand it, it wasn't a misconception unique this particular coronavirus. But that the entire medical field just had a longstanding, bad understanding of dynamics. So its not like the Wuhan lab was sitting on some crucial information, they almost certainly had the same misunderstanding.
