I think the bait & switch on those $2000 stimulus checks that became $1400 really pissed a lot of people off.
> I would bet money what most of them "really believe" is that a fetus is a baby and that baby should be protected from harm.

This is a shallow read. Why do they believe the baby should be protected from harm and not the mother who wants to or needs to end the pregnancy? Or the person who broke into your home?

I've literally never had or seen a conversation about abortion with a pro-lifer that when it went down this rabbit hole didn't eventually get to the idea that the innocence of the child matters more than the life of the child (and thus the lack of innocence of the mother).
This may be really difficult for such a large number of staff to reduce, but if any sort of temporary furlough arrangement would let you reduce headcounts while giving people time to find employment, it could be huge for some people.

My first job in the industry, I was in a five person department that needed to reduce it's headcount by one. I can tell you that had someone laid someone off, it would've been me, just because of the needed experience and locations and stuff like that. Though it was never said at the time, it just is the logical call.

Anyways, my boss chose instead to furlough the entire department one day a week. Obviously we lost 20% of our pay and had an extra day off a week. I found it actually really nice at the time because my income was well above my spending then, and I had a weekday off for doctor's appointments and post office trips and stuff which is hard to do when you 9-5 Mon-Fri. But obviously the company was in a weak spot, so I also started looking for a new job.

When I found one, everyone else in my department went back to full time, I never had a gap that prevented me from covering my bills. I am still super grateful to that employer for how they handled this.
That's correct. RBG said she would not likely have voted with Roe which was focused on the doctor and not the woman. That she would have liked to see progress carry on in the states then eventually move federally (like we'll see with weed at some point). She said it gave opposition a target. Instead of some percentage of 50, it was a nationally agreed upon "problem" by opponents.

I disagree with a lot of her positions, but this one seems well reasoned.

The 7 justices that decided Roe really did think they were ending conflict by siding as they did, that I believe did not, at all.
>> If the supreme court cannot respect precedent or at least provide a very good reason why precedent should be overruled

Pages 47 through 74 of the court's decision, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf, provide their reasons for why precedent should be overruled.
>So if taxes go up, there will be more demand for a currency

No. Because an increase or decrease in taxes doesn't cause anyone to stop or start using currency, or convert from one currency to another.
Aah come on. Nobody said the Democrats are "adjacent" to stoning women. Sheesh.

From the perspective of a country that is to the left of the Democrats, yes, they appear centre-right.

I'm not sure you've can offer a truly global perspective from which to accurately determine whether the US Gov is left or right leaning, but if I had to predict such an answer I'd say it would tip right.

Edit: okay, did some hunting and found this: https://archive.ph/PjNEF

Check the bubble chart. The Dems are in fact globally left-leaning, according to the Manifesto Project described in the article. But check the relative positions from e.g. a British perspective (since that happens to be shown in the chart). The Dems are to the right of the UK's left-wing Labour Party, while the Republicans are right of the right-wing Conservatives. The overall British perspective of the US would be of a right-leaning country.

I've not looked at other perspectives since I'm in mobile and I've not going to deep-dive the Manifesto Project just now. But I wonder which are the nations which have an "overall" perspective of the US as left-leaning?
At the first SIGGRAPH, Ken Knowlton was the entertainment (on piano).
Perhaps we could hold those responsible accountable? Especially if it came from research Fauci said wasn’t happening but actually was? Specifically gain of function. Look at how BP got hammered for an oil spill. Why wouldn’t China proportional penalties given that if it were a lab leak it lead to a global economic and health disaster. That it was coincidence that the virus happening near a research facility where they were researching similar viruses is beyond belief. The mental gymnastics being used to discredit the lab leak (or intentional release) theory is astounding. People have been sent to prison for life on far weaker circumstantial evidence.

What would we do differently? We put people like Fauci in prison for funding dangerous research that was specifically prohibited by the Obama admin —- then lying about it. We’d defund and disband the WHO for lying to our face while carrying water for China. Even the name “Covid” was made up to protect the Chinese. The WHO didn’t rename MERS, Zika, Ebola or any number of dangerous diseases with a regional connection. But for Covid? They bent over backwards to obfuscate Chinese responsibility. And Fauci? Lying to the American people and Congress over and over again while knowing good and well he helped fund it. And note the NIH and other US federal agencies aren’t required to disclose royalty payments from scientists in their employ. People making decisions about this virus literally got paid from the very corporations creating the treatments. If any scientist that had any influence got paid a single dollar from a company benefiting from their decisions — that’s a conflict of interest of extraordinary proportions. If an Army general gets paid a royalty from a defense contractor that general would be thrown in prison. Rick Marcinko went to federal prison for allegedly doing when happens all the time in our national health agencies.

The world should be outraged and Fauci should be in prison. What would we do differently? Not fund Chinese research. Demand full and absolute transparency from our public health agencies especially when it comes to research funding and financial ties to those who profited immensely from this.

Rand Paul’s questioning of Fauci was spot on. But people are too blinded by political parties to open their eyes.
Comparing Microsoft's offer to Verizon's is a smidge unfair, because Verizon didn't buy the whole shebang. I'm having trouble figuring out the numbers, but the Yahoo Japan and Alibaba holdings were worth several billion and proceeds from their sales were distributed to shareholders.

Of course, I'm personally sad Microsoft didn't buy Yahoo, because I was sure I'd get a free Xbox if they did. OTOH, I think Microsoft would have been a poor host for Yahoo, and there were a few more good years left. Of course, the Microsoft searh deal went rather poorly. I left in October 2011, for many reasons, but not selling out to Microsoft wasn't one.
Systems design questions are tricky. There are some key principles like how you handle scaling and how you estimate resourcing.

But it can really go awry. I've had this happen when asked to design something I have intimate knowledge of, more than my interviewer. I've had an interviewer ask what "reconiliation" meant when I brought it up in the context of a third-party payment system, for example.

Some basic advice: at least think about scaling and that really means horizontal scaling. I guess that raises the question of the difference between horizontal and vertical scaling. In case you don't know (or if anyone reading this doesn't) think of a server. Vertical scaling is buying an even beefier server. More CPUs, more storage, more RAM, that sort of thing. Horizontal servers is having more than one server and distributing the load somehow.

Horizontal scaling is what you want to concentrate on because it has a far higher upper bound on capacity than vertical scaling. So you want to think about how to distribute load. This gets into issues like sharding/partitioning, hashing, scattering, replication strategies and how to shrink or expand the pool.

I hope that helps.
I appreciate this answer. I hadn't realized a lot of this, especially the first part:

> The Bible teaches that humans are sinful beings not because of what they do, but because sin is an immutable part of human nature. There's no such thing as an "innocent" baby where the doctrine of original sin is concerned - all humans deserve hell by default. So unless the baby is born, baptized and saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (which can only happen through their consent and free will, you can't "save" an unborn baby as a loophole) it will burn in Hell for eternity like any other unsaved soul.

As someone not born into or raised by a Christian family, I sometimes struggle to understand how deep some of these beliefs are.

So is the idea that one does not receive unconditional love from God unless one first consents to believe in God? And babies don't have the ability to consent?

Maybe this is too off topic for HN but I'm quite curious.
No you can kill them in stand your ground states just fine.
the only inference we can draw is that inequality is a **necessary** consequence of any game of chance.

intervention (weath distribution) can only lead to more inequality.

there is no solution.

all of you on the left: your equality of outcome bs will not help.

all of you on the right: your "you just need to work hard" bs will not not help.

life is hard.
Except I don’t assume that is valid. Google has plenty of money, they can easily afford support personnel, they’re just more interested in making money.
Googling i noticed there seems to be a bug in openssl where it does not use optimized sha-512 on m1 (but does for sha256) - https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/14897 so that might be the explanation.

Also i think the length of the input matters when comparing sha256 vs sha512.
Forgot the well regulated part. National guard is the logical successor of the militia, joined up?
The way the Domain was explained to me is that there's a mobile cosmopolitan upper class that likes to float around the planet without ever feeling a sense of uncomfortable unfamiliarity. Austin attracted their attention partly by being "cool" and more importantly by having a Formula 1 track. The Domain was created to make money by helping those people feel at home.

The one person I've met who lived in the Domain was a rich tech guy from another continent who "moved" to Austin but never actually spent much time here. He rented an apartment in the Domain that was mostly vacant because he was always in other countries, acquired a girlfriend in Austin, was rarely here, and eventually stopped coming to Austin altogether. He treated Austin basically the same way I treat a restaurant. He came once, got really excited about his experience, came a few times more and then felt less excited, and then never came back because there was always another city somewhere else that he was a little bit more jazzed about. He was so wealthy that this level of interest in a city involved him renting an apartment for a couple of years and considering purchasing a condo. I wouldn't be surprised if he did purchase a condo, and it's been sitting empty for years because he likes having it and the cost of maintaining it pales next to the effort of finding somebody to manage it as a rental property for him.

That's what the Domain is, a world built for those people.
Thank you for elaborating and for the kind words!
I'm sorry, this is totally tangential to the topic, but... between all those versions optimised to bind to this and recombined with that - how do you manage all those changes? Do you have something resembling commits and branches?
The true story of the $46M heist that shocked the crypto world
Among the things that have happened since 1976 are super high performance MOSFETs, that play directly into the hands of Class-D amplifiers. But actually making Class-D amps robust involves a steep learning curve and an expensive oscilloscope. This is the reason why, for example, musical instrument amplifiers tend to use pre-made Class-D amp modules such as those made by IcePower.

The amplifier that I use for playing the bass is Class-D, as are all of the audio amplifiers feeding speakers in my house.
Problem is it’s 1% interesting experimentation and then 99% scams, criminal activity, and destroying the planet.

I find that AI generated imagery is a much more interesting experimentation on copyright. Rather than trying to introduce scarcity to digital items, AI will destroy ownership entirely as anyone could generate their own brand new stock images on demand.
You mean if you remove Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency, the drug trade and human trafficking will stop? The only thing that I can, kind off, agree on is Cyber Crime (Cryptolocker and friends).

Also, you can't launder money with Bitcoin. Bitcoin financial network is strictly separated from the main stream "legitimate" network where you need to launder your money. Hide your money? maybe, if you can bear the volatility; but not launder money.
It isn’t silly, the state legislatures deliberately crafted more extreme bills in the hopes of overturning Roe, then the GAs all they could to expedite them up to the Supreme Court.

The boundaries of Roe v Wade have been debated for a looong time, especially as new medical technology have come out but this case only existed because conservatives believed they had a good chance of overturning Roe.
Interesting to note the official position is that you cannot copyright AI generated art due to the lack of human authorship.

>I personally believe only women should be allowed to vote on this issue. It's their bodies, and they bear the overwhelming brunt of childcare and labor associated with raising children. They take the risks. They ought to be in the driver seat.

I fail to see how that conclusion follows the reasoning. If anything them having a dog in the race would make their opinion biased, and thus void. The discussion is not whether if women should have control over their bodies or not, it's about the morality of exercising that control over a living human being that might or not be considered conscious to some degree.

Any group when facing the option of giving itself more rights will be biased towards the positive and surely impartiality ought to be important in this kind of matter?

Note that this isn't something I desire, as I see it the whole of society has a say on how things are run, and so we all discuss things such as education even if we aren't going to undergo any more education, it's just if you want to make this a special case and make a differentiation, anyone capable of pregnancy should be the first group out the door.
"forcefully" taken away? The legal argument never takes back seat. This is a nation ruled by law.
> individuals have rights over their own body

The argument is that at some point the fetus is no longer the same body. Arguing for "bodily autonomy" ignores the crux of the debate. A mother cannot kill their 1 year old, and parents have obligations to their young children, otherwise social services will intervene if those obligations aren't met. What obligations does a mother have to their unborn child? That is the debate that needs having.

I'd say that the spectrum of a typical EU country covers the vast majority of the actual spectrum. You have actual communists on one end and stop just short of actual fascists/nazis/theocrats on the other.

Meanwhile, the US reaches as far right as the EU does, but in the other direction, it barely reaches the middle of the EU (i.e. total) spectrum.

So it's not that Democrats are adjacent to the far right. It's just that they're more right wing than left wing. They're obviously still much closer to the centre-left than they are to the far-right, but they are also further from the left extreme than they are from the right extreme
But freedom of association is legal.
Thanks for responding.

We have our own ideas about who we would like to stay (I mean, aside from "everyone" :( ), but we plan to tell everyone the severance package so that anyone we want to stay can still make their own decision with all the info.

This means then we need an idea of "if X doesn't stay, who Y should we ask to stay instead?", which comes uncomfortably close to stack-ranking.
Now we need someone to implement an LLVM backend to emit RNA.
It is supposed to exist to further a functional legal system. But it has been long since been perverted into a nakedly partisan purpose.

At least four sitting justices were put on the court specifically to ensure this ruling occurred.
The easier it is to brute force an sms message hash, the less sensitive the information is. Generally.
From where do you have that information? The circles I know of are all increasing their investments at the moment. Way too much capital lying around even before heavy inflation hit; keeps rotting even more rapidly now.
Overturning RvW isn’t a big deal. It doesn’t outlaw abortion. It simply means that the Congress and/or the legislatures of the states need to do the job they should have done 50 years ago. Even RBG thought R was decided incorrectly.

The check to fix the issue is indeed 8 lines long, and not one, the bulk of the patch is updating the places where the compiler was relying on this behaving with unsafe blocks and the rest is adding tests.

The patch adds two consecutives if statements to forbid the behaviour and could surely be written as a 2 lines or one line patch.

Not checked the timeline. It it is a bit irrelevant, I am not here to score point for either author.

I have a test project of around 5k lines of V, taken from a prototype in Go. Using V has been much more pleasant than Go or Zig, but I like zig comptime features. V is a nice language syntactically. Go has better tooling and is mature. I also rewrote the same code in Zig which I would trust today for production. Finally, I really like zig (and Jai) build system, and Jai very logical design and meta-programming features (no, I am not in the beta).

Hopefully from that statement, everyone can see that I am rooting for the adversarial team and therefore you can all discard my commment as biased

While I would agree with many of the comments regarding how the V site is not clear enough on the level of maturity for each of the attempted goal, and very quick to celebrate work in progress, I feel that balanced comments on this thread are mixed with some which would probably trigger me should I have invested lots of energy in trying to make V successful.
Thanksfully I only contributed one AST optimisation as curious bystander, so I can read this thread as most will do: noting how people are capable of listening without hearing.

All this discussion did was to radicalise even more both parties. I would hope V developers will take the time to review what was posted in this thread, when the minds have cooled down, and will try to understand the cultural differences which can exist between people when it comes to reviewing public claims made.

I attempted once to bring this exact topic in the discord channel but reading the room there was zero appetite for change, so I stopped as I felt I would be alienating people if I continued. I self censored to not damage my standing on discord ~ so why am I ruining it with this post: to say that asking people to meet you on your ground to discuss problems is not going to work (general statement)
People with nuanced opinion will often shut up when the discussion hits up.
When points are not understood, the tension rises and the quality of argumentation reduces very quickly.

My view, and feel free to disagree, is that the V community has been burned out and does not welcome criticism anymore, trust in other developers is broken, from here no constructive discussion can happen anymore and for some participants of this thread the same can be said the other way round.

The courts back then couldn't find in the constitution a way to make a solid case. They were hoping that the legislative branch would be able to get this done in a few decades.

They did not.
And if we did all of that, how much would it decrease our future risk of zoonotic spillover?
The bit about banning birth control is directly from Clarance Thomas.
The fetus is no more than a growth
It’s worth noting that Clarence Thomas may not actually disagree with any of the rights found in those cases. Thomas has been a long time critic of the use of the due process clause for the finding of substantive rights, and he adhered to the view that these rights should be found under the privileges and immunities clause that has fallen into disuse. He says as much in his opinion, but nobody quotes that part because it’s not a headline grabber. It’s in the same paragraph as the sentence you quote. Thomas has held this view for literally decades.

That’s a really good point and thanks for sharing. Definitely food for thought with regards to this sensitive topic.

Personally, I believe anti-abortion is a double edged sword that I don’t know how to traverse. I respect everyone’s right to choose but I also understand how politicizing the issue is favorable for politicians as they can yank at the heart strings and at the same time effect specific class of citizens more than others. And that last part bothers me.

It’s not so much the belief but the use of that as a belief to disenfranchise communities who are most vulnerable. I don’t know how to reconcile that fact, internally.
If the results of the study is negative, what are the odds that we'd have a nicely upvoted follow-up post here spreading those results for all to read? I'd guess virtually zero.
These concepts I am familiar with, but both of these sources suffer from the same problem: third parties presuming and ascribing intent. Sure they might be correct eventually, and as you say, only time will tell. But I ain't overly interested in the opinions of third party, hyperbolic sooth sayers with axes to grind. If someone is going to claim a fact one way or the other, let's be factual all around. Assumption and doubt-casting may sell books, but they don't really persuade me.
It was taken offline in Sept 2019, and "undetected patient zero" estimations go back to Oct 2019. Not that far off.

Their story for why they took it offline has also changed over time.

And at least as of the beginning of this year, it's still not been made available to other researchers.
It took the murder of almost a dozen children to get Republican Senators to the negotiating table on that bill, and what they passed was a pittance.
