What does it have to do with LGBT rights? Also, your comment is completely wrong, but again it's representative of the weird hyperbole that sounds completely hysterical from an outsiders perspective. For starters, even if abortion becomes completely illegal in any given US state, you can still travel across state lines and get one. Not ideal, but in Afghanistan you can't get an abortion or even travel without your husband's consent. And that's even if we were to take at face value the assertion that abortion is not illegal in Afghanistan (it is, for all intents and purpose).

And if we were to simply go by official laws instead of what the reality on the ground is, abortion in germany (and some other EU countries) is still technically illegal except for medical emergencies so surely Afghanistan and the UAE are actually just more progressive than the west!

Many states are Work at Will - a company can fire you for any reason or no reason at all. If you live in such a state then use social media at your own risk.

FWIW when it comes to the argument of bodily autonomy in regards to covid vaccinations, you're still free to not get a covid vaccine. The government isn't marching into your house with armed men injecting you with covid vaccines. Making vaccine standards for things like public schools (which you can still choose to homeschool or send to private schools) is not the same as the government forcing you to get a vaccine.

When it comes to marijuana, it can be more difficult to get past Wickard and Heart of Atlanta Motel when it relates to things like commodities sold on near international markets. Abortion services are often way more local of a law, far more difficult to argue interstate commerce.

> it's clear democracy is dying.

If democracy died every time somebody got mad at the outcomes and made claims like that, it would have been dead before it even started, and subsequently re-died every year since. What exactly was so democractic about SCOTUS permitting the executive branch to write their own laws anyway? Writing laws is meant to be the job of Congress. You can claim Congress is insufficiently democratic due to gerrymandering, but less democratic than the judicial and executive branches? Give me a break. Congress remains the most democratic of the three, and this SCOTUS decision gives power back to Congress.
Congress is broken. The system is fundamentally flawed. The Senate by Constitutional design is undemocratic and non-representative. Coupled with the cloture rule it is an untenable system.

Unless our failing voting systems accidentally elect a set of people capable of fixing the system, there’s no hope for Congressional action.
Real value doesn't matter. "Marginal" value is what matters. Breathable air and drinkable water have the greatest real value of anything, but their marginal values are zero and near zero respectively for a number of reasons (chiefly scarcity).
TBH, I suspect a lot of us here would be more excited by using the same AI robot drivers but different engineering teams building the cars.
> I believe strongly that the executive authorities--be that police, FBI, NSA, ICE, or EPA--should not have the ability to creatively interpret laws. If we allow them to do that, we open the door to innumerable abuses.

Totally: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/23/us-justificati...

"Lawyers for the Obama administration, arguing for their ability to kill an American citizen without trial in Yemen, contended that the protection of US citizenship was effectively removed by a key congressional act that blessed a global war against al-Qaida. Known as the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF), the broad and controversial 2001 law played a major role in the legal decision to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, the former al-Qaida propagandist and US citizen, in 2011, according to a redacted memorandum made public on Monday."

I don't want the executive or the administration to use creative interpretations to allow themselves to legally become judge, jury and executioner through executive order (pun intended) that may be very hard to claw back.

The constitution and the supreme court are here for a good reason: to prevent such abuses.
> If you take an overly simplistic view of things then yes every ruling is partisan everywhere

The courts are needed because interpretation of law is NOT cut and dry. But if interpretation is involved, it's going to be partisan. If it weren't partisan, these rulings by 6-3 majorities, formed by judges appointed by Republicans, wouldn't be so in line with Republican priorities.

It's not an "overly simplistic view."

> The purpose of SCOTUS isn’t to rule based on what the desired outcome is, it’s to rule based on what the law explicitly does say and is permitted to say per the Constitution

You make this sound like an objective function, which it is not. Judges can interpret the constitution differently, they can interpret written laws differently, and how the two relate can be subject to subjectivity as well.

I also question the premise. All government is beholden to the people, so while congress is supposed to pass laws that represent the will of the people, SCOTUS is ultimately supposed to interpret laws in a way that represents the will of the people as well -- THAT is its purpose. Roe's overturning is an example of that utterly failing.
I dont think that is obvious at all, given the broad oversight over emissions given to the EPA.

Furthermore, I think looking at the recent decisions to uphold gerrymandered maps in Alabama and Louisiana should without a shadow of a doubt prove how partisan the court is.

And they can't claim to be "literalist" or "originalist" when deciding that border patrols duties are more important than the 4th ammendment
It's interesting that you are bringing the conversation back to consistency when I explicitly said my POV is that consistency (here) is a red herring.
I agree the desktop conference speaker/mic setups are really good - not just for your own space - but also for huddling with others. I've been using the Poly Sync line and I'm really happy with there performance.
Maybe that was badly phrased but it refers to states having more power than they should (or less) due to how the electoral college and senators work.
It was a big guess for sure. To be clear, I don't know. I did find this in my search, which suggests it's not exponential[0], so it seems you're correct. There's a drop-off at higher exhaust speeds, but it's unclear to me why that is.

Don't be hyperbolic. We had democracy before Coney-Barrett, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were appointed.

Hamstringing the EPA over a contrived technicality in the wording of its charter is a travesty of justice. It's public utility is obvious. It's in the name.

You said "unity isn't just for games."

What I am trying to tell you is that the revenue breakdown you are using to justify this statement doesn't actually say that. What it says is that due to unity's pricing model, the bulk of the revenue they are making isn't all engine license revenue (which is both game and non-game), it is other services, almost all of which such as voice chat and asset store are strictly game-related.

In other words, Unity may be more than games, but they are entirely game dependent. It doesn't say that revenue is non-game.
Don't get me wrong it's pretty amazon what it can do but, I get the impression there's no confidence in the answers so I'm not really sure what to do with it. As with a lot of these systems how cherry picked were the answers
"I don't believe people on this site are too stupid to realize that, I believe they prefer not to, because they support the outcomes these rulings enact.

And given that, we are in a lot of trouble."

If what you're saying is true, then the same could be said if the rulings went the other way. Basically the whole system is an oligarchy and the winning side will claim legitimacy and logic, while the losing side complains about a lack thereof.

So what is the solution?

Edit: why disagree without discussion or providing the solution?
This is a (deliberate) misreading.

The Supreme Court stated that you could not apply handgun laws in a way that privileged one group over another. Historically, if you were black, no gun. White and knew the governor? Weapon up.

The supreme court's policies have been pretty straightforward if you read the constitution. The legislature has the responsibility to write the law. Not the supreme court (which is un-elected), not bureaucrats (who are un-elected) - without explicit law to make it possible.

The fact that everyone is screaming that an unelected bunch of mostly white folks are returning power to congress and telling them - no, be democratic - reveals a awful lot about the current state of the United States.

A quick search on the supplier page I happen to have open right now puts the cheapest Micro B connector in stock at around $0.20 and the cheapest C at around $0.40 (both at factory MoQ). So the price difference still appears to be around x2.

A few years ago when I was working on a project, the factor was in low two digits. It was a no-brainer to choose micro B over C.
I never said relying on SCOTUS was a good idea but neither is tearing down precedent and kicking it back to an organization which will not or can not act.
I think it's a good thing to not have comments. They are just focused on hiring. Whether the company is doing great things or evil things - this isn't the time to bash them. It's time for them to hire. If someone wants to write an article blasting them or praising them, they can do that at any time, and post it in Hacker News. But to do it when they are trying to hire - clearly a perk for a YC company. It's just the wrong time.
>Good example: The FDA

I'm not sure whether "good" is better or worse than "positive", but the FDA is definitely closer to "mixed" than the FAA. I'm generally very pro-FDA for the reasons you listed, and argue against the libertarians who want to abolish it. However, there's lots of legitimate criticisms about how it's frequently too conservative in allowing trials or approval for potentially life-saving medication, or approving medications and supplements that are considered safe and commonly-used by other countries.

Scott Alexander of SSC/ACX has many[1][2][3], many[4][5][6] posts pointing out instances in which the FDA's arguable-excessive roadblocks have failed US healthcare patients, coming from his experience as a professional psychiatrist.

Are you sure that's the same group? The design is completely different and it appears to be a company based in Florida.
How is it gaining momentum? "Who's hiring" posts have zero clojure positions and that is a place where you might expect to see such positions.
To be clear: I’m not advocating anything, just stating that Congress could choose to delegate that authority as a result of the ruling.
Jira almost has too many hierarchy options / flexibility.
Epics, Milestones, Initiatives.

No two firms, and often within a firm.. no two teams has a similar definition / system in how they are used.

My last manager it was like a sniff test / definition of art thing. Constant arguments about epics being too granular or not granular enough. Bumping tickets up or down the hierarchy was hell and lead to many many hours of wasted efforts.
Yes, if you want to be humane, don't play the game. I don't know how to make that clearer. You don't get to ignore morality just because you want to make more money. Yes, your would-be competitors are playing the game and being immoral, and we should consider them lesser for it.

Pretending that companies aren't made up of individual people all making constant choices is a very very useful thing for people in companies that want to have their cake and eat it to.

If you sign off on "do bad thing so the company keeps making money" then you should quite literally be ostracized. Your competition only gets to benefit from those horrible things because people like you keep telling us it's a bad thing to expect companies to do better.
Say No to YES
Not who you are replying to, but my personal take is that we are deciding between Congress and career government employees making these regulations, not Congress and SCOTUS.
Realistically I'm not leaving GitHub anytime soon and I do agree that businesses need a way of making money. I'm generally fine with a free service that also restricts certain features to paying customers and I think that GitHub worked well with that formula so far. But I don't like the double standard highlighted in this article about Copilot: they are training their IA on Open Source repos and using the result without taking into account possible licenses incompatibilities by making an argument about this being comparable to a compiler's output, but at the same time they are not using their proprietary codebase to train it to protect their own intellectual property.
I'm not saying that businesses have to provide stuff for free, I'm just saying that there are if not more legal at least more ethical ways of making money, because as it stands now it seems to me that Copilot is in a legal gray area.

The other argument which I think is being made is that free trade has led to supply chains which lack redundancy and are susceptible to shocks.
A very similar system has been in place in Portugal for some time.

The Portuguese EU id card (probably like all other EU id cards) can be used access multiple government web services. There is also a mobile app to go along with it.

The card contains 2 tls certificates (rsa 2048 bits) and are pin protected (signing operations).

One is used for authentication (there is a public api available IIRC), the other is used for signing (that digital is considered a legally binding signature)

Not sure about the mobile app but i assume the same functionality without the inconvenience of owning a card reader

Vending machines that sell things for 18+ like smoking papers and lighter are required to have a card reader to verify the buyer age
Couldn't congress "get off its rear and do its job" by forbidding the FDA from regulating housing? Requiring every regulatory action to require an affirmative from congress is absurd.

Besides that, congress controls the budget for these agencies. Simply by funding the EPA and the FDA, it demonstrates a level of support for their actions.

Ditto, I'd love to hear more of this talk. It feels like Wolfram/Mathematica has its own terminology, but I'd love to hear it interpreted in more mainstream programming language terms.

The symbolic evaluation is pretty novel. I assume it's not _just_ an AST. What do those structures look like?

What is the scoping? It feels like the emphasis is on global variables everywhere, but is it more subtle than that?

Are the data structures what we expect? Just in this post, Threaded implies some abstractions there. I would assume that some kind of "deferred" values are pretty typical throughout, is there a formal notion of that? A lot of it is deliberately hidden in the language, but I assume you can write code that handles that stuff directly.

Speaking of derivatives, I assume you can indicate how to take the derivative of new kinds of functions. How does that work? Generic functions, object oriented, ad hoc registries, or something else?

Thales makes passports too, so there is a big chance that your passport was made by them.

A more universal digital ID is a welcome change, now certain services are limited to people living in a certain country because there is no support for foreign digital IDs.
Free trade—if it results in greater reliance on foreign suppliers, which it pretty much always does—comes at some national security risk, since you're depending on sources beyond your control for the supply of more goods and resources. To illustrate by extreme example: that your country has realized its greatest Ricardoan(?) comparative advantage potential and has efficiently converted its entire productive capacity to making teacups is not great if there's a global food shortage and you don't produce any food.

Shocks to supply and to the economy (so, things like Covid or Russia invading a neighbor) can cause that risk to be realized as harm, or at least cause the risk to be more evident.

Another point is that chip suppliers can pick their customers until supply issues resolve, which there's no sign of.

Should chip suppliers view open-source drivers as undermining their competitive advantage? I don't think so, but they tend to, and this isn't a great time for RasPi to get on their bad side.

It's also not their mission, although that's been pointed out enough. Call it a battle for another day.
I find distributed version control super useful for the enterprise. I have way more private repos than public.

It’s useful because it makes it easy to have multiple copies of a repo and merges and branches are trivial. Just for my own project I might have clones on multiple machines. When I mess up and make a change, it’s not a big problem and merging is easy.

For team collaboration, I find it better than centralized because it makes it easier to work on multiple branches. It also encourages merge requests from people outside the team.

Crypto is way less secure than a credit card of course, since with a credit card I'm not liable for any fraud, loss or theft. I don't even have to front the charge until the issuer resolves it. As the issuer itself is liable (not me) they are incentivized to detect and stop as much fraud as possible.

I can even take advantage of chargebacks to ensure merchants give me what I paid for. Chargebacks are incredibly customer-friendly - but of course they're good for businesses too as it affords folks a degree of confidence at unfamiliar merchants. And I get various kinds of insurance - they'll even reimburse me if I drop and smash what I bought 90 days after I bought it.
This is true. We have a democratic republic rather than a plain democracy, because the founders were (rightly) concerned that plain democracy produces a tyrannical majority, and wanted to create a free society which would only impose government authority when there was broad-based and widespread agreement.

Indeed, the founders cared so much about this that they wrote into the Constitution a guarantee not of a democratic form of government for the States, but a republican one

U.S. const. Art 4 Sec 4:

> The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

In theory, this guarantee could be satisfied by entirely nondemocratic governments, so long as they were republics. Courts have not really tackled too many of the details of this clause over the years, primarily on the grounds that the courts largely feel that they are unable to offer remedies.
