The privacy argument is tenuous at best. We regulate how and what medical procedures can be performed all the time.

> The same people who (falsely) screamed about vaccine mandates being a HIPAA violation sure don't give a fuck about that now.

If you're going to make the argument that privacy requirements protect abortion procedures, then that would also mean that vaccine mandates are not allowed for the same reason. You can't have it both ways.
Our (now healthy, five year old) son was definitely killing his mother from the womb; her liver was about to shut down due to HELLP syndrome when we did an induction. 50 years earlier and she and my child would be dead. This does actually kill people today: https://www.propublica.org/article/die-in-childbirth-materna... is an account of a neonatal ICU nurse who died from HELLP five years before my wife's doctor caught it. Childbirth can be really scary and dangerous.

Your comment is just speculation and it works differently than immigration for tech work between US and Canada. The comments about “blue card” visas are correct.

Also, TN visas work for engineers with a four-year degree, do not automatically work for software developers, although you might be able to massage the (probably outdated) job description to include “computer systems analyst”.
That is a fair thing to wonder about, but at the moment most of the design decisions Rust pushes you toward tend to be better for performance on modern hardware. For instance using an array based arena to store a graph, instead of the traditional allocation of a chunk of memory per node on the heap. Or just keeping more stuff on the stack.
Ok so maybe the example is confusing, because it seemed it was talking about function calls (where they are mandatory in the languages you mentioned)
That's not what Wickard v. Filburn was about. Wickard held that regulation of individual behavior could be legislated under the Interstate Commerce Clause insofar as that individual behavior had a "rational basis" effect on the interstate market for a commodity. This effectively allowed Congress to regulate most aspects of our lives under the auspices of the power to regulate interstate commerce.
The problem here is that that "a-ha!" moment is completely fallacious and not actually helpful. You think you've gained some deeper insight, but any attempt to apply that understanding is all but guaranteed to result in pain and frustration. The mental model that OOP objects map directly onto real physical objects plagued me for years, because I could not understand how I was supposed to translate it into real code.

I finally broke through it after being forced to write a ton of enterprise Java, which helped me come to realize that classes and objects are useful units of abstraction for encapsulating related sets of data and behavior, as well as finally grasping the idea of composition and the utility of things like dependency injection, but I could've avoided years of pain if someone had actually explained that properly with concrete examples of useful object-oriented code. Since then, I've seen the same conceptual misunderstandings over and over from beginners and all of it comes down to the fact that these inane `Cat extends Animal` examples are simply wrong.

> When you've never written a line of code in your life, abstract things like "network protocols" and "file I/O" and "ImageDisplay" (which is neither an image nor a display) are confusing, and so frustrating, and so not useful for teaching a complete novice.

The solution here is not to teach them something that dooms them to even more frustration and confusion in the future. Also, if someone has never written a line of code ever, why are you teaching them OOP? If someone can't yet grasp concepts like network protocols and file I/O, OOP is literally not useful to them. It's like teaching someone calculus when they haven't even learned algebra yet. Start with the basics and then build up from there.
I think broad abortion rights is pragmatic policy for the reasons you suggest. I think it's better for societal reasons on net. I also think the compromise around this issue found in European law (Germany, Denmark, France) is pretty reasonable.

That said, I don't think a constitutional right exists and the Roe decision that found one was somewhat tortured (even RBG said as much early in her career iirc).

Given that this should be argued democratically and via policy. I'm in favor of federal protections that raise the minimum bar to what Europe has and prevents states from enacting all-out bans. I also can see reasonable disagreement about later stage abortion rights for the reasons I mentioned above.

It's a messy issue, it's not the job of SCOTUS to legislate these kinds of issues and I think having done so here has ultimately led to a more polarized situation where we're worse off. Fighting this out democratically is probably healthier for our democracy.

This is the problem with politics today in America. Republicans win by saying No to everything, while everyone collectively loses because of our inability to get anything done. And then Democrats get blamed for it anyway, whether it was their legislation or not.
I will just say this:

Interest in developing and deploying nuclear power dramatically declined after Three Mile Island and the Chernobyl incidents. This lead to an increased reliance on carbon-based energy sources like Coal and Natural Gas, likely killing hundreds of thousands over the years.

I think skittish virologists rightly concluded that a lab-leak mea culpa would have a similar effect on virology and perhaps broader medical research. The author disagrees, but history has shown us what happens.

If Three Mile Island and Chernobyl had been covered up and left to conspiracies the earth would be several degrees cooler right now.

The article makes the comparison with a nuclear bomb. This is a bad comparison. If we were attacked by a sentient creature, we could reason with it and mitigate further damage or escalation.

In the case of a virus, it's good to know to prevent future pandemics maybe, and there is an academic interests, but it doesn't help with the current situation.
I don't understand this post. People do all sorts of things for enjoyment and self-expression. All sorts of communities pop up like poetry slams, pick up sports activities.

That sounds similar to the tradeoff of hovercraft/jetfoil vs ferry: uncomfortable but shorter, vs. longer put potentially seasick. The latter can ruin your whole day.

When two people’s right conflict, who wins?

For example, i have two lungs. You are in a car accident and both your lungs have failed. I could donate a lung and save your life.

Your right to live comes up against my right to control my own body. My right overrules your right. Even if I was the one who caused the accident that damaged your lungs. I can be found to have broken laws causing the accident, but I can’t be forced to donate an organ.
> Perhaps I'm missing something

How is the government going to know which people have fetuses in them, and how long they've been there, without some loss of privacy? (Do you think menstrual cycles are private information, for example?)

And how does the government know what people do (or plan to do) to their own bodies without some loss of privacy?

> In regards to bodily autonomy, again if the fetus is a life

Well yes, you can argue against bodily autonomy as a compelling argument for legalizing abortion. My initial point was that you were just ignoring it.

That said...

> you have to be a good steward of the life

Says who? Compelling someone to use their body as a host (not "steward") of another life is a violation of their bodily autonomy.

If you're going to use car analogies, we also don't say that anyone involved in a car crash must donate blood or organs to save other victims.
I guess it is because the UK stopped doing as much testing. Presumably Google is reporting the number of positive tests (or something) and many people with covid don't bother getting tested any more.

The ONS is still doing random sampling and extrapolating to say how many people in the country are infected. "Around 1.7m people in the UK had coronavirus in the week ending 18 June" - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274

We live in a conspiracist society, any secret plan you can imagine has "been suspected", and generally people require no particular evidence other than "it would make sense to me" (as if there aren't plenty of things that would make sense to me that haven't happened!)

But if Apple actually wanted media outlets to cover it, having law enforcement seize and search the property of the editor that broke the story, and then banning the media outlet that broke it from WWDC... doesn't seem like the way to encourage anyone to cover it next time there's a leak, if you're actually hoping for coverage of secretly orchestrated leaks. https://www.pcmag.com/archive/gizmodo-banned-from-wwdc-25149...
A fair point, though the few security issues in recent years I've looked at were not the kind of thing you would turn to unsafe rust for. But I've certainly not done a broad enough sampling to say what % of cases are like that.
Oh I don't like the argument at all. I felt disgusted even writing it. I also don't like the argument of using self-defense as a reason to shoot people or the death penalty or frankly the assumption that other people have evil intent. I think the vast majority of us are trying our best and accidentally hurt people (EDIT: and that people feel hurt after our actions, not necessarily caused by them but more likely correlated).

But I do believe that some people who are pregnant and would like abortions may perceive the child as being parasitic (not a parasite, as I also don't like to attach strict labels of badness to one's identity but to focus on behaviors).

So I agree it sounds crass and yet think if others want to use self-defense for other arguments defending their harm to others, I don't see why that same argument couldn't apply here.
There are multiple such parties. Wikipedia maintains a list of third parties. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in...

Moderates also tend to run as independent candidates. Ross Perot is probably best known in the US.

It is difficult to successfully invest resources contra the two party system in the US, though. I think it’s a legitimate pragmatic decision to try to influence from within one of the two parties.

No. Age restrictions or sin taxes are one thing given the negative externalities, but if someone prefers a light vaping habit over a Frappuccino habit it’s not up to me to push them onto the black market.

Prohibition very often leads to worse outcomes.
As for bodily-autonomy, most people I know who are pro-choice are also in favor of the vaccine because - same as abortion - they view it as a life saving medical procedure. Those who weren't did protest about bodily autonomy in relation to the vaccine mandate.

Woman's choice is removed in circumstances of rape and I agree that that very much changes things. Rape accounts for less than 0.5% of abortions though, so while very important to consider, it'd be incorrect to assume that all abortions are due to rape.

Thank you for this. The right to bear arms crowd always says you cannot ban guns, you can only ban legally owned gun.

Well you cannot ban abortion. You can only ban safe abortions.

This is what they want. They don't want an end to abortions. They want an end to safe abortions. If more women die in labor, they are ok with it.

> A vehicle can have any number of wheels and any number of doors.

Does that mean zero doors and zero wheels? Because a jet ski is surely a vehicle, right, and it has zero wheels and zero doors.

Likewise, what about a cable car (aerial lift)? It has doors (maybe), but probably not an internal engine. It's definitely a vehicle, but it has almost nothing that's similar about it compared to the car (automobile) you described earlier. If it where a class, the "vehicle class" could really only meaningfully have some attributes related to transport (like human/cargo capacity) and some methods around movement in the most general sense. If we keep breaking this down, we'll find a huge taxonomical network, a vast sea of interlocking Venn-diagrams of attributes and capabilities. This is the corner that those OOP tutorials force people into: trying to turn a network into a tree, and it doesn't ever really work (at least not without awkward compromises).

Sure, for a beginner who's never grappled with trying to map concepts to things, this can be a nice contained way to start. Eventually though, that beginner will need to learn some the next levels of more general thinking; e.g. one where they can start modeling interfaces/protocols and their relationships.

If the numbers 54 and 36 is correct, then one could be inclined to a simplified calculation and say that 1.5% of popular vote (54/36) equals 1.0% of seats. In that case, 75% of popular vote would equal 50% of seats. Or in other words: 3-1.

(and 50% of seats are not even a majority)

Another model would require 15% more to go from 36% to 51% of seats. In this case, 69% of popular vote (54+15) would be required for a majority of seats, or in other words: 2-1. Which effectively is just as egregious as 3-1.
How is what I said a misrepresentation? I used the word "flawed" and I think it perfectly represents her opinion. She acknowledged that the reasoning behind it opened up the door to it being overturned, which is something that many if not most legal scholars agreed with. And she was clearly correct, as evidenced by today's ruling.

Of course she wouldn't have voted to overturn it, but I never said or meant to imply that she would have.

Striking a balance between the rights of a mother and child is not the job of the Judicial branch. That’s a job for the Legislative branch.

The court’s job was to determine if the Constitution prohibits the State from making their own state-wide decisions about regulating or permitting abortion.
Thank you for this. I hadn't seen it.
Can you tell more about 1 and 2, maybe with some sources added? this is pretty big
Can you link some sources here? Call me skeptical, but if the evidence is as convincing as you make it sound, then it implies a pretty widespread conspiracy among experts (of many countries and affiliations) who would understand the implications yet are deliberately mis-communicating via their podcasts, news appearances, papers in famous journals, etc. Are there any papers published on this or is it just in the book that the authors of this article are selling? I'm not sure if I'm confusing this author with a Matt Ridley who seems to be an eccentric but minor British noble who writes about fringe climate change ideas?

Edit: Ok I figured out the source of the claims, it's the Alina Chen (I didn't realize she was co author) stuff. And it is indeed the Viscount Matt Ridley himself!
…the entire time?

I think you’re trying to ask a poignant question, but it misses the point.

The fetus’ body is not the mother’s body, and bodily autonomy dictates one isn’t obligated to give their body for another’s survival.

Removing the fetus from the womb results in termination of the fetus if done prior to viability, but at no point does any violation of the fetus’ body need to occur for this outcome to happen.
Weird non-sequitor. Chinese people don't obsess over and celebrate those sad days just like American people don't obsess over and celebrate the innumerable crises and human rights abuses of their own, say, the MOVE bombing. A little empathy goes a long way.
You're right, but I hold hope for an enlightened electorate that makes careful decisions when prohibiting other peoples' rights. This analogy is useful in exploring that space.
> Bud there’s a whole amendment about how if it’s not mentioned in the constitution it’s assumed you have the right.

That is not what the 9th amendment says. It just says that the Constitution and Bill of Rights specifically laying out some rights does not mean that you lack all rights not laid out explicitly.

So no, it is not assumed that you have a right if it is not mentioned in the Constitution. It is just explicitly stated that you may have that right.

The 10th amendment then kicks all of those rights to the states rather than the federal government.

Fair point of course - but the devil really is in the details - of how far we stretch, how often, which way we change - towards correcting or regressing, and on what is open to debate vs what is not.
