Notwithstanding the other debate in this thread about consent to sex versus consent to pregnancy, does your answer to the scenario above change even if you willingly plugged the needle into the arm yourself?

From my perspective, even if we assume the person plugged the needle into the arm, it's absolutely not my place to mandate that you must now keep the needle attached until the violinist can live independently again.

You may feel horrible about disconnecting that needle. We may even agree that it's a pretty awful thing to do to the violinist. In fact, we may even agree that you should be responsible for at least attempting to find alternative options for the violinist. But I certainly would never imagine creating a society in which we would prevent you from doing it. It is your body, and you should absolutely retain the right to revoke consent for the violinist to live off of it.
As computers generally get faster, more expensive encoding can be considered.

I'm using different tooling on an AMD 3900x for these conversions, so take these numbers with a grain of salt.

$ gm identify test.tiff
test.tiff TIFF 6240x4160+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 1.2Mi 0.000u 0m:0.000001s

$ time gm convert test.tiff test.jpg

real 0m0.282s
user 0m0.193s
sys 0m0.089s

$ time heif-enc test.jpg -o test.heif

real 0m1.901s
user 0m22.960s
sys 0m0.180s

So... that's literally 100x more CPU time to encode the HEIF than the JPEG. The JPEG is 1.1M, and the HEIF is 800K.

In my prior tests AV1 is 2-5x slower than HEIF, and JPEG-XL is ~10x slower.

They'll give a pregnant woman health care, but then at 2 yrs old they assume the baby can fend for itself, and no more health care.

Their bill is literally a George Carlin bit.

“Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to 9 months. After that, they don’t wanna know about you. They don’t wanna hear from you. No nothing! No neonatal care, no daycare, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine, if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.” - George Carlin

When you're an MD for eyes or anything else, you can criticize his medical knowledge. Who cares if he specialized in eyes? He spent 2 decades as a surgeon. He obviously has more medical knowledge than most of Congress.

He's very credible on the discussions I referred to. Fauci basically sat there squirming and splitting hairs and playing semantic games to weasel his way out of admitting the NIH's involvement in the research going on at the Wuhan lab. My guess is you have some ideological axe to grind against Rand Paul or the right, that's just a guess, I could be wrong.

Then they would be at a stalemate/armistice much like the Koreas. How would the Feds trade with PRC? They'd have to either allow it full market access as a wayward child, which would mean PRC would get all the benefits of trade without having to pay Federal tax, or they would have to freeze out PRC, which would damage the Federal economy. Given California's economic pull around the world, I could see a great number of countries in the West aligning with them for "freedom reasons".

I'm just happy to know you're concerned for their safety. We should do something about that too. Know what might work? Gun control.

Know what might really help? Ending cycles of poverty. Know a way we could do that? By not forcing them into poverty. Birth control is not free (it was but you killed Planned Parenthood, remember that?). So maybe everyone should stop having sex. That's realistic, right? Oh wait...

So you're concerned about gang violence, which is generally an issue for the most impoverished, who likely don't have healthcare and may not have the money for other birth control devices and you've forced the most well know women's health organization out of business, who used to provide these things for free and you want to force them to have babies, knowing they don't have money, creating more poverty and more desperation and higher likelihoods of violence and then... Shit. Did it come right back around?

Most mounts can take the amount of weight of your scope plus a DSLR as you probalby have more mount than scope (if you've purchased well), and if you're using an equitorial mount, you using counter weights already. The worst part of the weight is on the focus tube itself. Whenever I'm using my DSLR, I determine where the scope will be pointing and position my scope and camera rig so that it is never going to rotate so that the camera is on top facing down putting all of it's weight on the focus tube screw locks. I always try to position it so that it is hanging to the side. I've made that mistake only once.

I don't know communication tell well enough to know to what they might be speaking specifically because it's rather vague to me from the article. So, this is about transistors and memristors.

We think of transistors like switches (on/off), but they're really analog devices.
There is always going to be some level of leakage. We can think of them really as having two voltages (high/low). Another thing that acts like this is a set of resistors and tapping the spot between them. Depending on the ratio of resistance between the two will determine the voltage at the tap.

A memristor has the property that the amount of resistance can vary. Depending on the direction and amount of flow, it will increase or decrease over time. Paired with another resistor, you now have something that can have changing voltage states like a transistor. If design the chip to compute over a range of values, you have an analog computer: a device that continuously changes output over a range of values, such as a frequency.

The challenge to memristors has been reliability. They are normally made of nano-materials that physically alter their structure. Being mechanical, they wear out and break.

"Too"?

Please elaborate. From what I've seen, the right has done this a long time, be it dumbing down education, defunding social services, advocating for war to benefit their lobbyist friends, or restricting access to nature's bounty.
No. The answer is mostly that I've seen Rayiner discuss Roe before in years prior, and had a weak inkling recollection that his statements had changed. An HN search for "rayiner roe overturn" I think it was got to things pretty quickly.

For what it's worth (mostly in response to other comments), I don't think he's being disingenuous here, I think there's just a deep disagreement about values. In another thread, he says:

> As a foreigner, what I admire most about Americans is their ability to dispassionately accept the results of legal procedures. I truly think that’s what is responsible for the success of America and England before it. We have people who have high minded principles and notions of justice in Bangladesh. That’s not special. What we lack is a populace that will accept even monumental decisions contrary to what they wanted and move on. And that’s what I fear is being eroded.

Charitably, I think, this is "Americans are willing to accept the rule of law", which is perhaps true. Uncharitably, it's something like "Americans are privileged and/or apathetic enough that even as the law wildly vacillates, they don't care to act when their rights are impugned."

I also don't think it's true, given the long history of protest and sometimes violence in response to legal proceedings (Shay's Rebellion, the Civil War, anti-Abortion violence and murders in the '90s and today, etc.). But even taking it as true, I think there's a requirement that to respect the (appellate) judiciary we need to respect that the system is at least somewhat apolitical. I don't mean that judges aren't conservative or liberal, they obviously will be, but the actions of the Federalist Society, which preaches and advocates for a very particular judicial philosophy is, to many, a violation of the social contract that allows us to respect the court.

I think it's easy for someone who is a lawyer, especially an appellate lawyer to have "the institution" go to their head, to an extent. And I think that's what I'm seeing here: what the court is doing must be justified not in particular because rayiner agrees with it (though he does), but because the court cannot be questioned. He takes it as a given that the institution must be respected by virtue of what it is. I don't buy that, I think the institution needs to earn its legitimacy, and when you have justices doing what is charitably described as misleading Congress and the American people, and uncharitably described as perjury, well, it's difficult to see why the office remains deserving of respect.
> > This ruling does not prohibit anything

> Missouri just banned abortion as a result of this being overturned, so yes, it does.

No, it doesn't, Missouri's laws have prohibited abortion.

> If I convince 51% of the populace geminis are evil and should be imprisoned, this is not a sufficient condition for the government to implement this policy. We would need to scientifically demonstrate that astrology is in fact true.

Government is not bound by what is scientifically demonstrated, thus making this statement and the rest of what you wrote, incorrect.

> A characteristic of a free society is not one where the government creates laws based on the whims of particular religious groups.

Hundreds, if not thousands of years of fairly consistent belief that life is sacred is hardly a whim, neither is the opposition to Roe v Wade from certain religious groups. It's also not characteristic of free society, governments put in place plenty of silly laws "on a whim" in free societies.
Wow, blast from the past! I can't believe I'm seeing Lion Kimbro on Hacker News. "How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought You Think" went very mildly viral in 2003 or so and I was in school at the time. I became kinda fascinated with his speakeasy.net page (which never changed, even to this day) and his advocacy for RDF and web ontologies, which was totally foreign to me at the time. I always thought his quote "Data and Algorithms are not Aware. Time is an Invention of Awareness" was so badass in 2003. This page is part of what lead me to study computer programming. Dang. What a nostalgia rush.

I've been using Ditto for a really long time on Windows too.

I recently had to use macOS for work (company issued MBP) and Maccy was the only clipboard manager I could find that was similar to Ditto.

It opens a tiny fuzzy searchable menu next to your cursor where you can quickly find a previously copied item to paste. That's all I really wanted from a clipboard manager.

None of CopyQ's screenshots show that behavior. Its list of features also doesn't mention searching. Does it do all of the above except the marketing page and docs are bad at showing those things off? Also does is support's Ditto's ability to let you have a hotkey for pasting and a separate hotkey for pasting without formatting?
Ah yes, without that it wouldn't have happened.

You've solved it! All this time, abortion rights would've been maintained if that one law had not been passed.

>Unless you think they'd all be ok with a squatter coming into their house and demanding food and that they wouldn't use their guns on them

Your actions didn't cause the squatter to come into the house, while it's the pregnant woman's actions that caused the baby to form inside her. A better analogy would be you advertising free food and residence, then changing your mind after a squatter comes to take you on your word.

I personally believe you shouldn't kill a squatter as long as no credible threat to your life exists, you can always remove by force, non lethal weapons are a thing. I also believe you don't have the right to terminate a being's life when you're the one who started it in the first place, no matter how much you dress it up in colorful language and fanciful thought experiments.

It's a fundamentally treasonous thing to do, to invite someone into life then quash them like a fly at the earliest inconvenience.

I don't think you need to build a brand — you say that you're already getting organic search traffic, so you can probably just focus on performance marketing (i.e. figuring out what other things people are already searching for and bidding on those keywords). Building a brand is a roundabout way of doing that (get people to know about your brand, and then hope that they search for your brand to find your product).

I am not a marketer though, so take this comment with a big grain of salt.

* Google Giving Out User Information to Companies Without Court Order or Protest

Every step along the way, there'd be an article and 100 Hacker News comments talking about how evil Google is and talking up how Duck Duck Go really isn't so bad as long as you remember the shortcuts that make it use Google.

Resisting requests from big companies demanding that they give out user information is a good thing. Changing their mind when they had clear evidence that the user was up to no good is a good thing. Not immediately shutting down someone's GMail account because they're doing something that upsets YouTube is a good thing.
Oh no! Now that the right has "just realized this", they might try to overturn the American Care Act primarily with intent of undermining their opponent, rather than to benefit anyone in particular.
