I disagree that there is a "point" at which a fetus becomes a person, no more than there is a point where a slowly accumulating pile of sand becomes a hill. Both hill-ness and personhood are artificial concepts that we give meaning to, and we can define them as precisely or as nebulously as we wish. Another example is adulthood. We have chosen to define it at 18 in the US, even though we all know 25 year olds who are less mature than some 16 year olds. In some cases (heinous crimes, emancipated minors) we will legally confer some aspects of adulthood to people under 18. In other cases (smoking, drinking), we will delay the privileges of adulthood. We do this because we know that a single "point" can't account for the full complexity of the transition to adulthood. And there's nothing stopping us from treating the onset of personhood as a similarly complex issue. Which is what the Roe v Wade regime did, for the most part.

"If the fetus is a life," you say, but of course it's alive, it's made of living cells. That's not even the issue really. Something being alive doesn't necessarily say anything about how we should treat it. We don't treat bacteria with respect, or mushrooms, or even most animals. So given that a fetus is alive, does that entitle it to any rights? And if so should those rights have primacy over the rights of the person who is carrying the fetus?
This will debilitate and kill and a lot of women in conservative states, and it opens the door to potentially eradicating the self-autonomy of tens of millions of non-desirable people (women, racial and ethnic minorities, sexual minorities).

Just another day of religious extremists and fascists crawling out of the woodwork, pretending to have a moral high ground. A lot of people here don't even know or care about how pregnancy works, what an embryo or a fetus is, or how extremely risky pregnancy is for humans because it evolved to be a crazy biological war.

He's talking about the US Senate, which legislates national issues. Because each state gets two votes, the more rural, conservative states end up acting as a bloc, giving them (often vastly) disproportional power over the majority.
That is so not the case, it’s not that the people don’t care, it is that even if they vote, their vote doesn’t matter.
I think this is an interesting hypothetical, and in such a universe I suspect many women would choose the artificial womb even for children they want to keep themselves.

But let me counter with another hypothetical: if we had a contraceptive device that could safely and reliably turn a woman's reproductive system on/off at the flip of a switch would "pro-life" advocates support it or oppose it?
Yeah, this sounds like something I've always wanted. I'll take the inconvenience of having to explicitly switch to newly launched apps if it means that a newly launched app will never again steal focus while I was in the middle of typing.
States have proven considerably easier to gerrymander, so, yes by degrees.
Except live view is just that, live just like your eye on the scope. To really get the benefits of a DSLR, you want long exposures like 20sec or longer to really pull in those photons. Then you probably want some auto-guiding to get longer to avoid trails, blah blah.

So other than planets, live view will just show the same thing you can see through the eyepiece (black and white). If you're zooming in on the digital zoom, maybe you need a larger selection of eyepieces? a nice 9° or similar?

I have a scope that was bought specifically for DSO imaging, so when I point it at the moon, the full disc is maybe 25%-30% of my frame in prime photography with my DSLR. Which is still cool as most scopes are so zoomed into the surface you have to scan around to see the full disc, which is also cool in its own right. with a 30° eye piece, the full disc is simply stunning. that same eyepiece looking at jupiter/saturn has them very very small but still easily identifiable. switching to a 15° gets to the point i need ND so the moon doesn't blind you, but brings the planets into a much less disappointing view.

but at the end of the day if someone looks at whatever you show them and is engaged, then by all means continue. definitely not suggesting "you're doing it wrong" at all
> The Supreme Court neither banned abortion nor prohibited the legislature from protecting the right to abortion.

Which means that New York, California, Massachusetts will retain abortion access. And Texas, Indiana, will remove abortion access.

This sounds like States rights is actually working.

But the media is distorting the overturning of Roe vs Wade with the sensational claim that “Abortion is banned in the US”.

No, it’s not banned. This just means Texas and New York have differing policies with regards to abortion access. Yes, 46 million women living in conservative states will lose access to abortion, but not all of those women are liberal quite frankly. Moreover, those states are exactly that: conservative. And the Conservative Majority of that state isn’t required to accommodate the views of the Liberal minority of that state.

Just like the Liberal Majority of California isn’t required to accommodate their Conservative Minorities.

That’s the nature of how US Democratic institutions were built.

Sounds fair to me and the Supreme Court made the correct decision by returning that authority back to the states.

Add too that that voters now understand voting as an activity to be leveraged against an opponent as much as or more than in support of an ally.

This is not a religious argument. The 14th amendment prohibits the states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The first question is when does a fetus become a person. I don’t know the answer to that for absolute certainty and pretty sure everyone else commenting on this does not either. If we can agree that no single person can identify when a fetus becomes a person, keeping in mind lots of people think they know everything about all things. The ultimate question that needs be answered is what number of people need to agree when life begins? Only one person decides when life begin i.e. the mother, nine i.e. the Supreme Court, or thousands i.e. we the people vote on it. I would argue we in U.S. tend lean more towards the more significant the issue the more people are required for consensus.
If that were really the argument, it would look entirely different, as things like actual sex education, easily obtainable birth control, etc, would all be uncontentious. However, those are also very much subject to debate by the “pro life” crowd.

> but in each generation, people find it initially shocking to see so many people wearing what is marketed and made for sportswear for leisure, or even seeing it spill into the workplace. i think the article was focusing on leggings when they started creeping into non-sports-related settings.

A lot of modern casual and even business-casual fashion is (or was) sports wear.

Polo shirts? Explicitly designed for tennis—it's the reason the design exists. Pure sportswear.

Oxford-cloth button-downs? Sports wear. That's why it's got the buttons to keep the collar down, and why the cloth is so heavy-weight and rugged.

Rugby shirts? Jerseys? Of course.

Sneakers, of course. Also, many other shoe designs, from equestrian and hunting sports.

What's not sports wear is often former underwear. T-shirts and A-shirts (thought the latter remain very informal, at least) were/are underwear. Arguably leggings are underwear that (somehow—this trend remains baffling to me, but on the other hand, I mean, thank god for it, obviously) became sports wear and then became everyday casual wear.
Be careful -- they're rapidly going obsolete. No one wants to fab old EPROM processes, and no one wants to package PLCCs anymore. If it's neither of those, I think you've got a bit more time.

There are "compatibles" out there, and some of them are very good indeed, but they're not without their hassles.
Do you think you should have the right to have an abortion 1 day before the due date of a baby?

The reasonable thing would just be to deliver the baby and put it up for adoption, but don't you have the right to, say, disconnect the placenta (it's your placenta), and also not have your abdomen cut open to help out some other individual who just happens to be stuck in there?

On the contrary. It gives better visual cues on where to find what you need. Also noise is actually good in some cases. I have a blue noise background for my terminals which tremendously helps with eyestrain.

Nobody in power is trying to put an end to it. In fact, media and institutions are trying to push the anger and divide further. I think most people realize this and this is why there are so many conspiracies out there as to why things have gotten this bad.

In my opinion, it's too late. Corruption of society of this level CANNOT be fixed. In a perfect world, everyone would chill out and realize they are fighting over what is essentially first world problems. But people have become trained to the point of abandoning reasoning, common sense, and good faith to prop up their tribes. We now have an entire generation that thinks this is all normal. It won't end well and this is exactly what our enemies wanted.

Just invented it so don't put too much weight to this name! But the phenomenon is real in the sense that emotional interpretation doesn't have/understand "don't"s and "not"s. It creates feeling or it doesn't (when not mentioned). It's a bit similar to saying "try to not think about yellow elephant" - well, you did and "not" part didn't really contributed to not thinking about it. Ie. "I don't want to smoke" would be very bad mantra. But you used "Don't want to die" which is emotionally read as "Death.", which evaluates to "fear", which is ok - "fear", "pain" any feeling of discomfort or in general negative feeling is ok/equivalent to usage of "don't"s. Hope it makes sense.

You might not have a right to them, but those procedures exist, and citizens would like to avail themselves of those procedures. They could even do so, except for the state's intervention: and that intervention thus deprives the citizen of "life, liberty".

> Driving prices to 0 is not incentivized at all, in fact quite the opposite. The current system incentivizes driving prices as high as humanly possible in order to allow the investors to take get as much of a return as they can.

The two are actually not mutually exclusive. Each node in the market tried to push their own costs to 0 and their own prices to INF. The net effect is what matters, and in a competitive market the net is to move toward 0.

Software is a great example. Tons of money pours into it specifically because products can be provided with near 0 marginal cost.

> To follow up, these ideas that the Capitalist free market system and competition incentivize innovation aren't actually founded in empirical research of any kind. It's pure theorizing and it's theorizing based on a house of cards of bad assumptions

If you ignore the largest most comprehensive experiment on the planet, the global market, then sure. Markets with stable, enforceable, property laws do better than any other setup.

Since the supreme court recognizes a right of personal gun ownership in the 2nd amendment and the 14th amendment applies the rules of the constitution to the state governments as well, the states cannot violate a person's right to personal gun ownership.

The supreme court does not recognize a right to an abortion in the constitution so the issue is kicked back to the states per the 10th amendment.

States rights only apply when things are not recognized as constitutional rights.
just say anecdote
It cuts both ways. What you're saying about the GOP is 100% true. It also became the Democrats' fundraising angle for 30+ years, despite their total inaction on passing an actual law recognizing the right to abortion. Democrats like Joe Biden supported bans on federal funding for abortion via medicare, which led to the present condition when people have to rely on clinics/non-profits for abortion care.

The only winner in the partisan fight are the elites in both parties. We need a working class party to resist both of the parties of American capitalism.
I was going to post the same thing. With tab completion long names can be typed quickly anyway. Also, the keyboard is the most fundamental input device for developers... learn how to use it well. It amazes me how many people who are professional developers use copy/paste so much because they can't type well. It slows them down to a crawl.

I don't particularly want to have to type 30-character names all the time without tab completion, but I'm not going to worry about an eight character command vs. a four character one.

Why isn't it a "science issue" because the pro-choice side is based on science? Or an "age issue" because old people are far more pro-life than young people?

I'm not here to argue semantics. The point I'm here to make is that the people who call it a religious issue are trying to claim legal protection that is undeserved. "That law violates my religion!" is not a compelling argument when half of your religion supports it.

Exactly. Coinbase is not part of the "crypto promises". It's like any other centralized financial institution that happens to deal with crypto currencies.

Just send the crypto from Coinbase to a wallet you control (outside Coinbase) and send to anyone from there through the blockchain. No questions asked.

Will you listen to yourself speak for a moment? What you are saying is completely mad! We are "entirely ill-adapted to digesting plant material"? The majority of the food eaten by every human culture throughout history consisted of plants! "Staples" they're called: cereals, roots and pulses, the three bloody sisters, wheat, rice, barley, potatoes, taro, cassava and yams. People have subsisted on diets that were for their vast majority only plants for thousands of years but we are entirely ill-adapted to digesting plant material?

Why? Why is it that whenever the subject is food all the deranged nonsense of the internets comes out of the woodwork? One group of looney tune characters wants to eat nothing but plants. Another wants to eat nothing but meat. One insance clown posse says meat is bad for you. The other says plants are bad for you. You people are all stark raving mad! You're bananas!

> Yes, we have a cecum by name, as do other hypercarnivores including cats,...

Listen to yourself! We are like cats? Humans? Or are we talking about Thundrecats now? Because unlike Lion-O, humans are nothing like cats:

A hypocarnivore is an animal that consumes less than 30% meat for its diet, the majority of which consists of fungi, fruits, and other plant material.[1] Examples of living hypocarnivores are the grizzly bear (Ursus horribilis), black bear (Ursus americanus), binturong (Arctictis binturong), kinkajou (Potos flavus), and humans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocarnivore

You want a "credible source", really? I mean you can't even spell "herbivore" correctly but can you tell me which "credible source" is it that told you all this nonsense, that we are "hypercarnivores", like cats, and that we are "entirely ill-adapted to digesting plant material"?

I don’t agree with your framing. In my opinion, at some point between a baby being born and going to preschool, the child will become intelligent enough to warrant being called a real person. It’s quite probable that treating a just-born baby as a full human has its advantages, but that is certainly not biologically true. A baby is less aware than cows, and people eat cows all around.

Some people make the opposite claim: Rust lets you get away with less dynamic allocation (and more data shared between threads) because you can rely on the compiler checking your work.

The shirt is expensive because A) they make them for a variety of body types, not just the generic S,M,L you'd find in most clothing stores and B) they are often sold at stores where a person is going to help you pick out something that looks good on your body and goes with your personal style. You're mostly paying for someone to do the thinking and work for you.

It makes plenty of sense to spend money to look good when aesthetics aren't your strong suit, but are important to you. People hire landscapers to make their houses look nice and appealing. This is the same thing, but for your body.
Abstractions are useful because they simplify and if you don't allow error you don't allow maximization of simplification. You can formally relate this to learning problem formulation complexity. When you do you encounter things like branching factors which effect solution times which lead to natural results like fast but finishes being better than optimal but never terminates. This can hold even despite error in the abstraction and there are techniques for recovering that error at runtime because a particular problem is a less general and more specific situation and so isn't as cursed by branching factor.

Edit: A previous version of this comment was more wordy in stating this and mentioned that there are formal proofs to this effect.
