I'm not convinced. The 9th is hard for me to interpret because of its purposeful vagueness.

But we do have some notes from judges such as the following:

As Justice Scalia observed, “the [ Ninth Amendment’s] refusal to ‘deny or disparage’ other rights is far removed from affirming any one of them, and even further removed from authorizing judges to identify what they might be, and to enforce the judges’ list against laws duly enacted by the people.”
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-9/n...

IMO, Congress should attack this from a Constitutional ammendment which makes its legality clear: abortions cannot be outlawed. Anything else is just another ticking time bomb, especially something contingent on a 9th ammendment interpretation.

Edit: after rereading the 1st ammendment, the wording of an ammendment should be consistent, so something like, "Congress shall make no law prohibiting the seeking or procedure of abortion."

Thinking more on the 9th, one would have to consider the right to destroy an unborn person, not just the right to bodily autonomy. This becomes a moral or philosophical exercise, perhaps. With the 14th ammendment, it now becomes a question of personhood, which I don't believe the Constitution defines. So I think I am content with my request for an ammendment and not 9th Ammendment guesswork.

Final edit:
Turns out we have prior rulings that state that the 9th ammendment does not cover assisted suicide, which may be applicable to the case (potentially Person definition pending).

CIS benchmarks are guidelines and aren’t intended to be applied blindly. You should consider the benchmark as the optimal least permissive perspective and adjust to solve the problems you have.

Many of the folks who contribute to CIS come from .gov backgrounds and have a bias towards the compliance controls that state/local have to deal with. Note the word compliance vs. security. The password thing for example is driven by IRS Pub 1075 — most everyone else has moved on to more rational standards.
There's also a bias in the other direction that people have a natural inclination to desire something to blame for misfortune. Covid being a natural disaster is so distasteful and unsettling because it means there's nothing we can do about it. It's the same rationale people use to try to blame the president for high gas prices or personal tragedy on god's will. It's comforting to have an explanation. China already has a bad reputation for safety and honesty that they are an easy target.
And that idiot revenge campaign served him with over $7M in damages. Assuming he can't pay even a fraction of that amount, what is going to happen to this genius? Will he land in jail for some time?

I have mixed feelings about this however: pretty sure that if they inverted the roles, that is, it was the big company that sent bogus DMCA take down requests, the outcome wouldn't change: the small fish would still be eaten.
I think you mean this document:

A couple of comments on this:

1. The Convention document doesn't expressly address it, but instructs in several places that the rights enumerated exist for children 'from birth', implying they do not apply to a potential child before it's born.

2. The United States is a signatory, but did not ratify this, and is not subject to it.
I never encountered the 6800, but I did talk to people in the 90's who thought the 6800 was pretty bad and the 6809 pretty good.

The 68000 is really a different class of CPU entirely, so I'm not sure why folks are discussing it here. Only the name is similar.
Yes, there is a not-unreasonable purely legal argument for overturning. Yes, it would be to the benefit of all if this was better understood. But, patently, that does not obviate the practical consequences for individuals, which is much more obvious and just as true. Focusing on those consequences is not misleading.

Americans reasonably feel extremely strongly about this. When a perceived right is forcefully taken away by one's state, the legal argument for or against the federal mechanism that was preventing that takes a back seat, to put it mildly.

Thanks for your advice. It doesn't have to be cruel, but I've just read so many stories here about times when it was... So _something_ drives that cruelty, and I need to avoid it.

Okay, so it sounds like company-wide announcement first and then start getting into the 1:1s quickly to prevent people from suffering in purgatory.

Being let go is definitely not personal for anyone, it's not a cheeky excuse to let go the low performers. I'd keep them all if I could, I've got good references for everyone, we got phenomenally lucky with hiring - just not phenomenally lucky with everything else.

I've worked at places where I can't do things like: give realistic interview feedback, give proper references to people leaving; I hated it. Now that I'm in a leadership position - as badly as it has turned out - I can at least make my choice to do these basic humane things.
I use SMS because it's been the default messaging solution on every non-iphone I've ever owned. My first few phones were all "dumb" phones so SMS was the only option. On my android phones I've always just used the built-in messaging app which is typically SMS and switches to MMS when doing group texts or sending pictures. I've never had a need to install any 3rd party apps for messaging.
It's taken me a while to understand this but a very common cycle for tech is:

1)Startup founder gets and idea and develops it.

2)The startup develops the tech and finds a market for it

3)The Startup becomes successful

4)The market falls apart and the founder can't guide the
startup thru the difficulties

5)Start up is in distress or fails

6)An MBA type comes along buys everything at a deep discount

7)The new manager restarts the company. This time with much more discipline and a plan on how to sell the product.

8)Company becomes successful enough to be sold or go public.

9)MBA guy multiplies his investment. Startup guy gets the shaft.

We are going to see this cycle in crypto. Right now, MBA types are looking for any companies that are falling apart but have a future. Looks like Celsius is one of them.

Exactly the same for me. I get most of my news via RSS. And when I "run out" then I go browse sites like HN or Reddit as a form of extra discovery. (I also get top HN posts and some searches/topics from HN and Reddit as RSS feeds). I'm constantly adding new subscriptions and unsubscribing from old ones that aren't valuable to me.

Hello, author here.

What I ask is for iOS and Android to have the "this message was not verified" warning, as shown in the last screenshot, whenever the sender ID is displayed without any form of verification (such as, the aforementioned country-specific sender ID registries).

If browsers show "not secure" unless verified by SSL, apps should show "not verified" unless verified _somehow_.

The "how" may or may not be possible at this moment, but in any case, warn by default.

Is that naive?
this is a fun game of pedantics, isn’t it.

> It is because blockchains cannot actually be used to do any of those cool tech things in any meaningful way.

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”.

there are interesting discussions to be had (why didn’t we have permission-less privacy-preserving coins before blockchains? what are the better ways of achieving such global systems, and solving double-spend/consensus than blockchain, today?). but it’s impossible to have those discussions if you keep claiming one thing and then arguing the other thing.
But isn't Roe weak because of the fundamental irresolvability of questions like when a fetus becomes a person, and thus Roe existed to leave room for political compromise. And even if it's a bad, constitutionally defective law, isn't overturning it 50 years later only causes harm and more polarization, kicking democracy further down the drain?

Actively playing favorites with a religion is not religious pluralism. Besides reality-wise how would all the fundamentalist stance about what America founded on, and how this and that should be interpreted based on that is useful if the country can't serve it's people. Nobody back then really thought that the country should not adapt to thrive.
For the last few weeks I have enjoyed seeing all of the mentioned planets on my early morning runs - with the exception of Mercury.

> The government doesn't believe that life starts at conception. Otherwise you'd be able to get tax deductions for an unborn fetus.

You are incorrect. When you apply for benefits, they ask you how many people in your family, and an unborn child counts as a person.

Most tax benefits work on a yearly calendar, but the ones that work on a monthly calendar certainly count an unborn child.
If I know what I would do with the file (eg I downloaded Shortcut yesterday, intenting to use it) I usually move it (cut and paste, and I prefer portable apps) so they don't clutter the D. folder.

But the other files... well, once in a while I just open the D. folder (every year or two?) and if I can't find a place or a reason to store this file - Del, or for things like FirefoxPortable92.1.6.9.0.exe - Shift+Del
Again, I'm not very bright. I don't understand what this:

>That's an extremely strong statement. It's the kind of thing someone firmly ensconced in a bubble would say. Is what you say true, or do you just lack the imagination or empathy to think of one?

was trying to do, and this comment hasn't really made it any clearer. Can you explain it explicitly?
Yeah, I actually had a similar thought as I wrote that, but I was too lazy to come up with a better analogy. I guess a clearer analogy would be "trying to teach someone to differentiate a function when they don't know what a function or a variable is".

I derinitely agree pedagogy is hard. I have many thoughts about how the pedagogy of programming is deeply broken that are far too numerous to drop in an HN comment. I would say I'm not arguing for a purely linear approach so much as making sure there's actual conceptual understanding at each phase of the learning process. Teaching OOP before someone really grasps programming well enough to actually need it feels very premature, but there are lots of elements of it that can be sprinkled in throughout the learning process.
> Were you previously aware.

Yes, of course.

> It's overwhelmingly likely that something around two months of cryptic spread occurred before the market super-spreader event, regardless of whether the origin was natural or research-related. That's plenty of time for these "two distinct lineages" to develop. They could also have developed at the market, either in a single transmission with two mutations, or in two transmissions with an intermediate lineage that died out before it could be sampled.

Two points - if there were months of cryptic spread, that essentially rules out 95% of the lab leak hypotheses and further reduces the importance of the WIV proximity.

Secondly, Twitter is an obnoxious interface but Pekar who wrote the paper highlighting the divergent sequences has a good thread explaining why it’s such an important data point:

https://mobile.twitter.com/jepekar/status/149984326950040780...

Since the multiple lineages were present in the very first patients as compared to say January 2020, it narrows the dates and source of the first virus considerably.

The very first identified cases had two distinct viruses and were all present at the market. That’s not at all what you would see if the virus had been spreading for a longer period (we’d have intermediate samples) or if someone from the WIV went to the market and infected people (they’d all show the common lineage that all other transmission chains show).

The Texas law makes it so any citizen can file a civil suit against anyone who has an abortion, including ones performed out of state. There are already pro-life organizations that will help people fund these civil suits.
For what it's worth, I neither think the lab leak hypothesis is definitely proven nor that the scientists involved are worthy of some kind of punishment. It's a matter of increasing security at scientific research facilities and banning certain lines of research altogether as too risky.

Yeah I just meant you won't have a CCW permit by default. You'll have to apply/pay/wait for one. I'm assuming that's how it'll be handled anyway. If the cops catch you carrying without the permit, they'll probably be able to treat you as a criminal until you can prove you have one.
Free and open is important but my biggest reasons for using RSS are:

1. I get to choose what I see. No one can hide content from me.

2. It doesn't encourage Platforms. I can just as easily watch content from PeerTube or Odysee as YouTube. I can subscribe to any random blog just as easy as Tumblr or Medium. No need to for every author to be on every site that someone might look at.
I agree with you about that.

Long function invocations are an annoying consequence.

As long as you don't ship your decision without review, and you're willing to change your mind if it's wrong, what's the problem? Like OP, I often find that people are reluctant to discuss anything that's ambiguous, until someone has made an attempt at implementing it, and presents it to them. Then, suddenly, every ambiguous choice that was decided wrongly (in someone's eye, anyway) in that attempt comes out of the wood work. It's an extraordinarily good way to spark discussions people don't want to have.

"Write one to throw away" is the greatest advice I've heard for our field. You will rarely fully explore the problem space by just talking about it ahead of time.

This came up in another discussion a month or so ago, and I did some checking:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31484169

In short, this is not true. There was a brief window where they might have had 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster, but it's unlikely for a divisive partisan issue like this one. And they didn't have a 60% majority in the House anyway.

To put it very bluntly, the lack of action we've seen from Democratic Party majorities in recent history is very likely because they knew they couldn't pass legislation over Republican opposition. Sure, you can frame it as 'they declined', but that's an uncharitable oversimplification.
Yes, surveillance does make authoritarianism more sustainable. What I was referring to as unsustainable was two things.

First, there is never a reliable succession of power, whether we're talking about a benevolent dictator being succeeded by another benevolent one, or just a dictator competent at holding power being succeeded by an incompetent one.

Secondly, authoritarians always extract for themselves as much resources out of the country or company as they can, and after some time, it is unsustainable and will collapse, like USSR, Rome, etc. Although this may take a very long time - generations or centuries.

Yes it was a close call in the USA. Unfortunately that is not in the past. As being seen in the J6 hearings, this is an ongoing crime in progress, and the R party (which is at the 90% level) no longer a political party but an authoritarian gang, is working to install at the state and local level legislators and officials who will successfully overthrow the next election. It is literally the case that if people do not get motivated in November 2022 to vote out every R down to the dogcatchers, the 2024 election will not withstand the same assault, which WILL be made.

The danger is not past, and unfortunately moderates typically ignore midterm elections. Which brings us back to the sustainability question - if 2022 goes the wrong way, we may have an authoritarian US for generations or centuries. Get everyone you know to vote like your way of life depends on it - it likely does.
I made my own little solution to this problem too: https://linksort.com
> If the cops catch you carrying without the permit, they'll probably be able to treat you as a criminal until you can prove you have one.

Even if you have the permit, if you're black you it’ll be shoot first, questions later, and no accountability.
Oh you are right. Looks like they did manage grow some "undifferentiated lettuce tissue" in the dark using acetate and then did some preliminary work to show that whole plants can metabolize acetate when grown in the light. I wonder what the plan is, if any, to increase "plant tolerance and consumption of acetate as a heterotrophic energy source".
> But P2P music sharing / digital music sales was also that way until they couldn't be ignored and ultimately destroyed traditional music distribution.

Traditional music distribution was buying an easily damaged CD for $20 a pop (in 90's dollars). We would have moved to digital distribution anyway, P2P was just a catalyst.

Alternatives are almost never equivalent. If at decision time there is still ambiguity, it means that some criteria that separates the alternatives is not being considered.

You are suggesting to not search for that additional separating criteria and just use a coin flip to decide. Apparently you prefer a coworker that would flip a coin in order to move forward with a decision as soon as possible.

The other poster is saying the flipping a coin is the same as staying ignorant of that additional separating criteria. Apparently he'd prefer a coworker that wouldn't stay ignorant by choosing to flip a coin.
Yes, Mercury was very prominent a couple of weeks ago. Of course it's always close to the Sun, so perhaps your horizon viewing conditions have obscured it (I have to walk so that the trees and street lights are out of the way).

The supreme court spat in the face of a previous supreme court decision. That's the reality of what's going on right now.

If the supreme court cannot respect precedent or at least provide a very good reason why precedent should be overruled, then what we have is a country ruled by a set of god kings with zero accountability. When faith in the system crumbles as a result of extreme partisan decision making, what you get is balkanization.
I have the exact opposite view. It's a lot easier to fake systems designs interviews, since one doesn't have to produce a working system at the end.

> To put it very bluntly, the lack of action we've seen from Democratic Party majorities in recent history is very likely because they knew they couldn't pass legislation over Republican opposition.

No, it’s because they couldn't pass it over Democratic opposition (whether it's actually one or two Senators, or whether those two are pretextual is a matter of debate.)

Republican opposition isn't an excuse with a trifecta. (And, no, the filibuster doesn't change this, since it only takes a majority to change it.)
Genuine question: for Google to offer free services, economic constraints dictate they can't offer human support. If we just assume for a moment this is valid, there is a possible solution:

You can pre-pay $50/hour (in 30 minute increments) for live human access that can fix your problem. The fee is paid no matter whose fault it is -- it's basically a "competent, in-your-country, rep fair wage fee". How much take up would there be? Would that fix the complaints with these free services not offering support?
This is such a terrible comment.

Think about the landscape of exchanges globally. TSE, SiMex,Globex, ICE, NYSE, LIFFE LME, Eurex, etc etc etc.

If FTX is an exchange, then they make more money when volume is up and less money when it is down. Just like all exchanges.

If the holding company Alameda that owns FTX is a market maker, they make more money when volume is up, spreads are wide. They may or may not do well during herding events like crashes, but market makers don't like directional vol.

If any of these players are arbitrageurs, where do their arbs come from? Why do they persist? I think most of the edge comes from retail flow.

This is a trading business. What makes you think that any exchange has an edge that is unique in a downturn that makes it like Amazon or Microsoft? Neither of those companies run a trading exchange.

Why the romantic anthropomorpgic narrative surrounding trading exchanges? Historically it's a good but not amazing business. There is secular growth, but it tends to be highly constrained and it's a very competitive environment.

Does FTX have better infrastructure or risk management than ICE or CME? Or just better press at the moment.
