See, this is my point. The topic is fundamentally nuanced and heavily connected to tradition and religion. You can't just ram through this with reason alone.

I don't want to personally attack anyone but I know a number of first generation Indian immigrants. They're great people but all of them seem to reject the conservative view of American politics (the one held overwhelmingly by the people who lived here before) as "backwards." It might be because of their experiences in India, I don't know. It's really frustrating though to have people come into your country and try to change things like that while calling you stupid for protesting it. Tradition often exists for a reason and it can take a lot of work and empathy to unwind that. If you're going to come into a new country and participate in their politics you should work hard to make sure you understand their tradition (and I recognize that's hard, I don't blame immigrants for not doing since I would probably do the same, but it's really frustrating to see it over and over again and that's why I call it out here occasionally.)

EDIT: I can back up my personal experience with statistics [1] Although interestingly enough it says that later descendants tend to be even more left leaning.

Most people don't even get to see those challenges. But make wide use of the many performance opportunities created by lazy evaluation. Anyway, when any problem appears, it is obvious, so if it was a large problem, it would be fixed by now. The only reason people keep talking about it is because it nearly never appears.

Really, lazy IO is a much larger source of problems, and even there, after a week or two writing IO people just learn to write code that doesn't break due to it.
> He also seems to be assuming mid-sized or larger nonprofits

I think that's it in a nutshell. Or super ambitious nonprofits gunning for Effective Altruist funding by having the most Silicon Valley approach to operating and expanding possible.

In the rest of the nonprofit world, the board member with the legal background is there for legal advice, the one with the media background to help promote its work; if both of them think performance metrics is one for the board member with the accountancy background to look into rather than for them to study and challenge, that's fine And firing the CEO (an experienced middle manager who took a massive pay cut to get involved) for not hitting KPIs is wayyy down the list of useful things they could be doing
Setting up a stalking horse bid? I wonder what/which assets.
You've lost the thread of the discussion. I said the reason the Democrat party is so protective of Roe v Wade is because its a cornerstone of their powerbase and how they give their supporters and fundraisers the impression they are giving them their rights. Not from the constitution, but from them, because nothing about abortion is in the constitution. If you read Roe v wade decision, you'll note they had to introduce the idea of a right to privacy, which also does not exist. From a purely jurisprudence perspective, its all built on smoke and mirrors. These issues were supposed to be settled in state legislatures, which is what the decision today asserts. Now, state legislatures are in a position to circumscribe abortion around cases where it is acceptable. It may be extreme to call it a life at conception, but it's also extreme to call it not a life right before birth. There's middle ground here.

I would only look for E2E encryption in such an app if its data were synchronized across multiple devices. Otherwise, there should be no E2E communication from the app at all, encrypted or not. Cycle tracking should be able to work with local data.
Still a thing. There's an excellent iOS app for Pinboard made a third party developer, called Pins. It was just updated in 2022.

Yea, the legal system did not make humans. We made it to serve us and our purposes but now its being used to stifle the populace and profit off those less fortunate
From your original post it seems that only the rape constitutes grounds for abortion. Sounds pretty pro life to me unless I misunderstand the term.

This is not true. Ralph Baric developed (and patented) a seamless technique to assemble coronaviruses in 2002 [1]. Baric was a close collaborator of the Coronavirus group at WIV.

Since then there has been even more progress. Since 2015 or so it's been possible to "print" DNA of any sequence.

In fact as COVID started to spread in China and the sequence was released, a Swiss lab used this technology to print the genome of SARS2, inject it into some yeast cells, and voila, you have the virus. They wrote this up in Nature [2].

If you wanted to change a naturally sampled virus using this technique, say, to insert a Furin site, swap out an RBD, whatever, you can literally do it with a text editor and copy and paste.

At that point, you might as well take an HDMI out connected to a larger screen to make it even more visible to those that wander by. I've seen a group do this with a camera designed for purpose that has software running stacking so that the longer the image is being viewed the better the image. They then project this for a larger visible image. Sounds weird as projector == bright light which is frowned up, but they always setup in a way that is not disturbing and since the image projected is pretty dark it's not as bad as one might think. They do everything they can to never blast white.

As far as wowing people, it's pretty impressive. Once they go to the next celestial object, you can watch as the image stacking starts working as you see the fainter object continue to become more and more distinct.
Bullying is cyclic. The worst victims are often the worst perpetrators once they find their group. As someone who also had a hard time with groups when young I have to careful to not exclude others when I am included. You really fear things like replacement, of if you are not the perpetrator then you are the victim. Turns out it’s easy to be both in different times and places.

I think the leak worked against a strong unified reaction. At the time of the leak it was unconfirmed, which limited the response strength. Now it has been confirmed, but the shock value has dissipated. The setback has been largely anticipated and absorbed. If the leak was a conservtive strategy it may be paying off.

Or maybe there has just been enough time to recognize that the country is seriously divided on this, and any short term campaign on the issue is unlikely to shift opinions or votes much.
I'll note that you can offend "both sides" and still not act correctly, or morally. That's the fallacy that mainstream media seems to believe: if people on both sides of a spectrum tell me I suck, I must be doing things right. In the media's case, they're not, they're just sucking. Let's not make the same mistake here.

Yeah but the hippie movement was about realizing the untapped potential for social freedoms locked away behind a repressive and outdated society. (Before it burned out and dissipated)

Crypto is about shallowly co-opting the patterns of discourse of genuine social movements to try and get rich quickly.
> people should be able to reneg on the consequences of actions if those consequences are not desirable

I think you've gone a little too broad with that principle. If I ask a taxi to take me somewhere, I can get out if I notice the driver is drunk. If I accidentally spill a glass of water, I can clean it up. And so on.
> "Your argument is effectively that people should be able to reneg on the consequences of actions if those consequences are not desirable."

Well, yes.

Why did you say "other than rape (in which abortion should be allowed imo)"? Either you think the foetus has value and needs to be brought to term, or you don't. That makes it seem that you aren't deciding based on the value of the foetus or the importance of all life, but rather want to assert superiority and punish women for having sex. What difference does it make to the importance of the foetus if the pregnancy was rape or not? Why does that make more difference than whether the pregnancy is wanted or not?

You can eat meat from murdered animals every day, you can pierce or tattoo your body or kill brain cells with alcohol, you have the right to return a $5 plastic toy for a refund, but if your birth control fails you can't kill 10 cells. Has it any more soul or value at that stage than the hair or fingernails you cut off without a thought, or the dead skin you shed, or the spit you spit? Why does it have more value than the woman?
I wouldn't be surprised if telecoms themselves were the ones coordinating some SMS scam operations. This may sound tinfoilish, but we're talking about the same telecoms that were once caught red-handed tricking people into calling back foreign numbers...
Prepaid plan vs post-paid, probably not, but some discount prepaid providers are probably considered “less trust-worthy”, or less profitable when evaluating VoIP numbers.
If you need customizable reports (filtering and aggregating by any dimension), you cannot avoid scan over non-aggregated data. This is where you cannot optimize Postgres queries. Postgres becomes slow starting from just single million records.
As I understand it, the "correct" position that is held by the majority of Americans is that we should have safe, widely-available abortions up to about 12-16 weeks. That's how it is in Europe. Right now, we have two parties full of nutjobs: one party wants state-subsidized free abortions available up to point of birth, and the other party wants to completely ban them. The reasonable group has left the building.
> A bunch of people losing their shirts doesn't seem like it's going to motivate more people to buy in

It will if they're smart enough to ask "why" people lost their shirts and take the POV of someone like John Templeton. The best time to buy is when everyone else is panicking or ignoring an asset you view as undervalued.

Just like the stock market, though, that's not likely to happen. Most people are controlled by emotions, not logic, and so miss out on many opportunities.
No, because a woman's right to her own body is not in conflict with a fetus' right to live, even if you believe the fetus does have that right.

People who claim they care about the fetus' rights, and that they oppose abortion from this point of view, are either hypocritical or haven't given it enough thought. If they did, they would at best insist upon the woman carrying the fetus until it becomes viable, then having the right to a C-section where it is removed and placed on life support, and given up for adoption. But no one holds this position.

In reality, people use the rhetoric of the fetus' rights to muddy the waters, and to avoid admitting that they don't believe women have a right to control their own bodies. They hold collectivist views that are typical of conservatives, who believe all people should be subservient to the social fabric (while espousing individualistic views when it comes time for the social fabric to help those same people in turn) - no free sex, no freedom to use drugs, etc
Indeed, in fact there is a clear shift from growth investing to acquisition in such markets.
> Look for them to start to buy up distressed crypto assets

What makes you think they're interested at all?
Reminds me of a time that I played a Bitcoin poker game at some Google VP's place up in the hills with Charlie Lee and a few other early crypto luminaries in 2014. It took us over an hour to figure out sending BTC to the "buy-in" pot because most of us had 2FA enabled on our Coinbase accounts and the cell reception was so bad at that we couldn't get our confirmation texts. We ended up writing IOUs on a sheet of paper.

I thought, "if the people in the vanguard of this movement can't figure this out, maybe it isn't all that it's cracked up to be".
It's a voteout that they need, not a walkout.
I don't think they're transferring the copyright but granting IP and commercial rights to the NFT holder. As many of the other commenters are pointing out, this isn't the typical way NFT's work but some are like this. Just like some NFT's don't point to a url but either are stored on chain (cryptopunks) or via content-based addressing (IPFS hash).

Nintendo, one of Japan's largest/most successful companies, still doesn't know how to run an online service properly. Sony's Playstation is better (but not as good

Crypto does solve a few real world issues (fast, global, cheap, secure, anonymized transfer of value).

But it seems that some people thought it fixes the "i want to get rich fast" problem, and was bloated as a result. It was never meant for that problem.
Just for the non-US persons reading along, below are a few US Federal government programs for poor people. Some states (most?) have additional programs as well for some things, or supplement federal programs.

- WIC (https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic)

>The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides federal grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at nutritional risk. WIC serves about half of all infants born in the United States.

- Food Stamps (SNAP - https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program)
- Medicaid (Health care for poor people) https://www.medicaid.gov/
- Section 8 subsidized housing (https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/710)
It works fine with actual art but I've yet to see an NFT comparable to say: the Mona Lisa. When I got into the blockchain space ~9 years ago I would have never imagined years later people would be going crazy over pictures of jpegs. People used to discuss amazingly cool tech stuff: like SSL oracles or privacy-preserving payment protocols. Now it's all about what the price is and moronic NFTs. It's embarrassing.
Before I retired (2019), I was getting emails from our telecom providers that Canadian regulators were mandating that they not share porting information with customers (us), although it was generally available before, and was still available in other countries of interest (mostly US), for a fee.
How exactly is discussing how this came to be some edgy and hateful thing? People want to understand and discuss the current crisis.

If you want to discuss the human impact make that comment, or frankly, you're visiting the wrong sort of forum.
Where do you live, might I ask?
The president doesn't care about the issues that concern his position.

There was an intiative by the treasury to try and have people use a single document to deal with taxes, where we previously used two, this is something important for most people, the guy hasn't even mentioned on his social networks.

They also build a public vet that was supposedly financed with the earnings of BTC - when the price dropped the president mentioned that he hasn't sold any meaning all the money spent to promoto chivo or crypto has come from our tax dollars.
You're still conflating "pregnancy" with "pregnancy that you're forced to carry to term." The former is necessarily a potential consequence of having sex; the latter is not.

I'm still curious what principles you think justify the enforcement of the latter, and especially why they don't cover things like the OP's forced organ donation scenario.

Edit: Just to expand on the first point, I think there's some circular reasoning going on here.

If the claim is "people should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term," you can't support that with "because people should endure the consequences of their actions" if "consequences of their actions" means "being forced to carry a pregnancy to term."

Because then you're just saying "people should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term because people should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term."
I don't have the credentials to pull that off but I'd like to see someone try that!
You're failing the "consistent propertarian" test hard
> But my point in general is that once you’re pregnancy your body “finishing” is the inevitable outcome, intervention notwithstanding.

I think you mean something other than “inevitable” here, since “inevitable” means “cannot be avoided”, such that if A and B is the inevitable consequence, than B must happen with 100% certainty.

But childbirth isn't even approximately an inevitable consequence of pregnancy.

Strictly for SaaS that's can't bill on usage, and each bill is large enough to eat the transaction fees.

Biologists have well developed frameworks for judging the ethics of experiments that has been built up over a century of horrifying missteps.

AI is at the "hire and fire until they get a sycophant" stage in the development of proper ethical review methods.
I think Zach has a certain level of finesse and polish that is hard to find elsewhere. The further you look into the details, the more impressed you get.

For instance, just browse through some of the datasheets of Shenzhen I/O. It mimics reality all too well (mistakes in datasheets, chinese-only text, various fonts and layouts, handwritten notes, etc.).
Two lineages does not preclude a lab leak. And only B was centered at the market. The market hypothesis is lacking.
>So I guess we have no tools.

What kind of nonsense is that?
We already have the tools, land value taxes and negative interest rates aka demurrage money.

The solutions are trivial, and that is exactly why curing the symptoms can be nothing but complex.

Demurrage money results in the neutrality of money and thereby activates a lot of economic theories that free market advocates take for granted when there is endless evidence that they don't work in a permanent money aka non neutral money system.

Full employment is the default in a market economy, there is no such thing as a business cycle. It is only once you add non neutral money with the artificial zero lower bound that you get monetary cycles.

If money is neutral, then debts won't have to grow eternally and there is no need to erode them with inflation.
That just means poor people are dividing their already limited resources to buy a fraction of something that they can't use to pay for rent, food, and clothing. If you can only afford to buy a fraction of something, then you can't afford it.
But you can already license your IP using a contract or a license, and that contract can be inked in paper or done digitally. You can even give exclusive license or transfer your rights. The only difference using the blockchain is, well, the blockchain.

This is an even less interesting use of the blockchain than Bitcoin - at least with Bitcoin there is no longer a central authority needed to prevent double spending. Here the blockchain is facilitating a transaction that can already be done without some authority to recognize it.
> Genesis says that life begins at first breath

It says no such thing. It says that Adam's life began upon first breath. Adam was also created as a full grown man, so it's clearly not an example for human life as a whole. The Bible doesn’t teach that every man comes to life at first breath any more than it teaches that every woman comes from the rib of a man (from https://www.str.org/w/does-bible-teach-life-begins-first-bre...)

The Bible does say, in multiple places, clearly imply that life begins in the womb. For example, when John leaped for joy in his mother's womb, announcing the coming of the Lord.
That is assuming you have been paying attention to the recent crypto crash, which is affecting the majority of crypto-related companies and projects from DAOs to exchanges. So it is hardly a single data point.

> “This is good for bitcoin”

And who said that?
Even if that’s the case, does anyone think procedurally generated computer art of Bored Apes would be worth even a fraction of a few dollars if it wasn’t for crypto marketing making people believe they can sell it for much more? In other words, the only value these things have is the belief that a bigger sucker will come around who will pay even more for it.

And has it actually been copyrighted with the USPTO and the various copy protection agencies across the world? Because if not, then who will actually enforce it and what legal backing does that copyright have?

And if it has been copyrighted, then what value does putting it on a blockchain add when the copyright enforcement is being maintained by the same entities that would have done it if it was on Shutterstock?
Following your example, if after you ate something the state forced you to digest it and outlawed inducing vomiting then you would have lost body autonomy. You're not in control of your body anymore.
