Funny enough - all of the actions that the Supreme Court took to entrench and strengthen slavery arguably were one of the things that caused the Civil War.

a) no. States were in the process of legalizing it - with restrictions far more in line with the rest of the democratic world.

b) no. In fact, most churches (the SBC for example) polarized _after_ roe v. wade. In fact, most evangelicals were left-leaning prior to this ruling. (Some partisan hacks will insist that it was desegregation that led to this, but Brown versus Board was 1954, and the SBC was still solidly liberal in 1972). Roe v. Wade lit everything on fire. (See RBG's comments on Roe V. Wade), precisely because it was a un-elected court making a change that no law could challenge.

It's telling that simply saying "this is not a matter for the supreme court but the people's representatives" is so incredibly controversial.

My hope on all of this is that this ends the imperial court - and abortion stops being the mother of all wedge issues, and allows some elements that moved to the right because of the undemocratic change to move back to the left now that the democratic norms are re-established.
> it's clear democracy is dying.

The united states has never been a democracy. The united states was designed with a state being a nation, each nation joined a federation (the united states). This is similar to the EU (they're following the same model).

Your local governments still have WAY more power over your life than the federal government. Think about your daily life, when you drive do you worry about speeding in town? If you do, that's because your local government. Local taxes, approvals for construction, education, health services, power, etc is all decided locally.

Local governments are decided within a community, they can ignore federal laws. Local officials are decided via a democratic way, direct votes. IMO that's actually becoming stronger, as the federal government weakens, it returns the power to where it belongs people and local government.

Musk has said that the current version of Satellite V1 is "financially weak", that V2 is necessary to achieve their bandwidth goals.

> The consequences for SpaceX if we can not get enough reliable Raptors made is that we then can’t fly Starship, which means we then can’t fly Starlink Satellite V2 (Falcon has neither the volume nor the mass to orbit needed for satellite V2). Satellite V1, by itself, is financially weak, while V2 is strong.

> In addition, we are spooling up terminal production to several million units per year, which will consume massive capital, assuming that satellite V2 will be on orbit to handle the bandwidth demand. These terminals will be useless otherwise.

There isn't an "official data source" for RDOF evaluation. ISPs are required to carry out measurements in the markets where they've accepted funds. Measurements are carried out on a sampled subset of their customers, and a large set of frequent measurements has to be produced from each customer. Measurements have to be conducted to servers in specific locations (you can't just test to a server two miles down the road inside the ISP's network). The requirements are pretty rigorous and not straightforward to meet (e.g. if a customer switches their router off for a day, then that can disqualify their measurements entirely - you need a sample every hour, every day for at least a week in the quarter). They need to submit these measurements to USAC at the end of the quarter, to demonstrate that at least X% of measurements met the target of Y (it varies by metric).

Generally speaking, crowdsourced measurements (whereby you have loads of users but each running very few tests) aren't well suited to these requirements.

I'm oversimplifying things here, but more details on the requirements can be found at https://www.usac.org/high-cost/annual-requirements/performan...

I used to feel like I was fluent in C++ but over time I realized that I was using just like 40-50% of the language because the rest of it was so complicated that it made it difficult to work with others who may not have had as deep of a knowledge.

With Rust I've found that even though sometimes it feels like it is harder to write code with, I am finding it far more likely that it is correct when the compiler is happy with it, and I find myself worrying much less about move semantics/correctness/pointers and all that stuff like I was with C++, it has allowed me to move faster and not spend as much mental time on trying to make sure/understand if what I am doing is ACTUALLY safe.

I am using C++ as an example, because the other language I use regularly is Python and there are still pieces of Python code that make me scratch my head with "how does THAT work?!"

OTOH, results of elections to congress (house of representatives) looks balanced - total seats gained by each party matches popular vote with deviation < 1%. Which is much better than i expected considering single-seat system leads to advantages for dominant players even without gerrymandering.

Even in my home country, which is european country with proportional system and no gerrymandering, such deviation is higher (< 2%) due to rounding effects.

Gerrymandering is main issue in (some) state elections (e.g. Wisconsin 2018 is egregious example), not federal elections.

I think we are past the peak of Scrum.

IMHO Scrum was a prescription of how to be agile because being agile is a kind if philosophy and it is hard to make it work quickly without huge investment in the growth of each individual.

Its main lets say purpose (not by its creators) was to disrupt Waterfall at scale and it managed to do that no matter if it works or not.

But while Scrum worked well for the innovators adopting it it does not work at scale (nor does Safe or any other framework trying to fix it by adding more processes and roles). Actually most implementations of Scrum at scale are anti-agile, are rigid and products and teams will collapse (productivity wise) if tomorrow someone takes scrum out. Because they are trained to follow Scrum not to be agile.

Agile means thriving in a fragile environment and Scrum does not teach people that.

There are some new frameworks in the making. Solving some of the issues we encounter now but it is hard to predict which one will win if any.

I for example really like Shape Up. I feel it allows teams to be agile while not being so focused on daily work.
They were also smart enough to parallel development with Windows 95/98 -- creating two mostly compatible operating systems for different segments until the need for backwards compatibility and the power of the hardware made it possible to obsolete the DOS line.
So pass a law, giving them more power to regulate things that you previously didn't give them power to do.

Don't throw out democracy to do so.
There's every possibility that they had to lie about it.

The rules are strict about how and when you can release information that can or will affect the value (or valuation) of the company. You being told "in advance" that a company will be letting people go gives you "inside information" and the opportunity to buy or sell your shares before everybody else knows about it.

So while it seems unethical to lie to your face telling the truth might be illegal.

Totally agree with this, the US has turned into an administrative state, which is far from the vision enacted by the founding fathers in which Congress and/or states regulate. Today congress has chosen to forsake their main role as legislators by creating unelected unaccountable bureaucrats with, essentially, unchecked law making abilities.

That said, I would like congress to take up the matter of clean air and water directly, instead of this cowering behind other agencies after abdicating of their duties.

Seriously curious. If I consume somthing, don't I now posses it (it's in my body) or didn't I have to posses it for at least a moment (in order to consume it)

I'm just curious in what ways this distinction would play out. I can see if "consuming" was illegal and "possession" was not logically works but it's harder to see how "consuming" is legal and "possession" is not doesn't effectively make "consuming" also illegal.

They explicitly listed the reasons they think it's awful. My personal grievances with Windows align more or less with theirs and while I wouldn't go as far as to say it's awful, I'd use something certainly stronger than "annoyance".

Specifically, clear anti-user choices that exceed by far being "annoying":

* Making it exceedingly difficult or impossible to use the OS without logging in with a Microsoft account.

* Forcing the user in various ways to surrender data to Microsoft. Some of them can be disabled if you really go out of your way, others can't.

* Prompting me again and again to switch to Edge and other MS defaults. I've had the same install for a few years now and NO, I don't want to change to "Microsoft recommended defaults", no matter how many times you ask me.

* Showing the same "OS setup" screen after some updates, requiring me to pay very close attention to what I'm clicking, lest I select something MS is trying to lead me to. The amount of attention required from the user on those screens corresponds quite well with anti-user behavior.
I understand how it works, and you agree that the senate does not provide equal representation for people, only the states. I'm not suggesting that the numbers for each representative be exactly the same because that's not achievable in practice. What I am saying is that the current system is much less democratic than it could be if either there was no senate or it had proportional representation. You may think that would lead to chaos, but I disagree.
Yes, the dog would still have four.

The Supreme Courts job is to determine if something was legal, they were granted the authority by the people. If we want to change that, congress (the people's representation) can amend the constitution.

Congress can also clarify by granted the authority (as the justices explained). At any point in the last 7 years (while this court case has been ongoing), congress could have enacted the laws, they discussed them. The regulations didn't pass. The supreme court pointed that out.

Why would congress put forth these rules if they had already granted the EPA the authorization? -- because the EPA never had such authority.

My point is that the current financial system is not secure in any sense. Why would i have to give you my entire credit card information to make a payment. Why are you 'pulling' money from my account instead of me sending it to you. Why have we failed to implement a public/private key relationship with our financial data?

>giving the info to centralised entity like a bank is bad?

Well my first and prime example would be to talk to any greek citizen during 2008. The goverment took a percent of all the citizens money to pay their debts. Countless credit card scams have happened because i am trusting all of my data on the cybersecurity of (Upwork, linkedin, outlook, google, tinder, etc. etc.) as you go down the list of entities with your full name, address, & credit card information you start to realize that you have lost control of your financial self-sovernty.

I've played this game with my friends and it's a fun one; Give me your full name and i can buy your information on the darknet, including current/ past credit card info, Social Security number, past addresses, past-employers, tax information, etc.
Diluted? EU has significantly more power than any single country. More than the sum of the power of each country taken individually. Hence, mathematically, your vote has more power in the EU.
I'm not talking about domain names. I'm talking about people referring to the language itself as, for example, Rustlang.
I agree it's much easier to make a mess, but I can see doing it the right way being extremely powerful.

One (slightly contrived) example is javascript's different (sub?) languages. JSX, await/async, typescript, pre-processors, etc.

It would be best practice to pull in popular versions of these things as opposed to rolling your own.

However, I also don't think there's much issue with some custom languages as part of a normal codebase when used in moderation.

There's not that much difference between using a traditional API that requires function calls in the right order, maybe some testing to ensure you're using it correctly, etc.

With a "new" language you can put a lot of that as static-typing style compile requirements. Essentially more guard rails to using a library correctly, and an opportunity to make a set of scoped primitives specific to what problem you're trying to solve. Ruby on rails is the best example of this sort of system.

Again though, I know it's a huge pipe dream, and for these ideas to go forward will require a LOT of change in our intuitions and methods of developing software. I'll never stop dreaming though ;)
I learned c++ and rust around the same time. Even though c++ was more difficult in every single aspect, I have used it over rust in every project since. Everything about rust was great. Pattern matching, enums, result types; I could go on forever, but I just can't get in "the zone" when I develop stuff in rust. I think the mental overhead is just too much for my brain to process. So I'm right there with you, rust is too smart for me.
Huh? The Congress that created the EPA granted that authority, which is why the EPA has had the court's full support for decades. It took an extremely partisan SCOTUS to invent an excuse to say the opposite.
What empirical evidence exists for that claim? I agree with it, but I'm mostly generalizing from own experience.
Nothing whatsoever. That's why most of what the federal government does is unlawful.
According to their logic, if I train a model using stolen Windows source code, it's fair use.

Just because they use FLOSS licenses, does not allow them to evade things like Affero GPL3. And, to that end, if they are using Affero, I want the source to the whole copilot infrastructure -or- proof they used no AGPL3 code anywhere.
It's the usual attack on anyone who isn't in power at the particular moment.

> The GP was talking about "moving the branch pointer",

Not explicitly.

`git checkout ref path` implies `--force`, since you're being specific.

I would prefer if Git could keep a GCed pile of saved workspace changes every time you force checkout/reset.

But for the love of all that is good, stop using `git checkout`/`git reset` in the few ways they hurt.
Look, I agree that copilot feels slimy. However, honest question: if you're maintaining an open source project, in most cases I'd say your source is publicly available somewhere. What realistically prevents github from doing exactly what it did with code that isn't even hosted on it? What, with regards to copilot, is changed by moving one's code off of github to some other public site?

That's unfortunately caused by the proprietary solutions chosen, BankID and similar. If Sweden and Netherlands had gone with very widely supported Smart Cards (like Finland, Estonia and Latvia), they would interoperate trivially. Especially with the advent of eIDAS.

Hopefully this legislation forces proprietary implementations to become more open.

They talk elsewhere about "clear delegation", and it doesn't have to do with the scope of the delegation, it has to do with its precision:

> Thus, in certain extraordinary cases, both separation of powers principles and a practical understanding of legislative intent make us “reluctant to read into ambiguous statutory text” the delegation claimed to be lurking there. To convince us otherwise, something more than a merely plausible textual basis for
the agency action is necessary. The agency instead must point to “clear congressional authorization” for the power it claims.

I can find nowhere where they say that Congress cannot delegate broad powers, only that it's not obvious that Congress did or that they intended to. Do you have a citation to the contrary, or are you making assumptions based on the news coverage?

The other one that amazes me is the Petrel family, that digest fish and process oil from them and store it in their foregut. This allows them to fly long distances - like, Falkland Islands to Svalbard kind of distances - without really stopping.
