It doesn’t matter what camp you fall into, or if you think the courts decisions in the past were “wrong” (though obviously there is no absolute right or wrong interpreting how a 250 year old document interfaces with modern society).

The court as an institution has a responsibility to maintain some sort of consistency if it wants any legitimacy.

How can people make decisions about where and how to live if their fundamental rights are changing year to year (and most recently being taken away)?

You are also not aligned with the current public opinion. The court is at its lowest approval rating ever, and that is before overturning Roe. If the court cannot maintain it’s appearance of legitimacy then it essentially fails as an institution. The court could have chosen to move more slowly, with more restraint, but it didn’t.
The decision looks simple and correct to me, even with only reading from the very left biased BBC article.

Despite your very right biased comment, I don't buy the idea that congress needs to write legislation down to specific policy details that might come up with every minute aspect of what is intending to be legislated. I don't think elected politicians are capable of being knowledgeable enough to give specific guidance on the broad range of issues necessary to govern the entire country.

I mean, do you really want a US senator voting on what level of chemicals are allowed to be present in drinking water? Is that the goal here?

Right now, the corporate legacy media are working hard to paint the false narrative that the current conservative justices are extreme partisan hacks. Don't fall for their deceptions. Do your own research.

And if I do my own research and decide that the current conservative justices are extreme partisan hacks?

The main application currently in use is groups which is similar to IRC. There are a few other small applications: chess, canvas - pixel art, pals - friends list, studio - which lets you run a hosted blog to the regular web and send emails when you post something new, but really chat is the main thing in use currently.

With regard to “cult” - every new thing has jargon (tech is particularly bad at it: grep, sed, awk, grok etc etc) - Martian computing comes from an old blog post linked below about the idea that if you started from scratch with a modern understanding of computing what could you build. Basically if you found software from an ancient civilization on mars that still worked - how might it have been designed to guarantee that?

I often see people on HN lament the old web of irc and nerds talking in good faith, about interesting topics, building personal sites, getting to know each other etc. That culture is alive and well on urbit.
>In this case, as I understand it, the EPA was declaring they had authority to enforce some new rules by interpreting where congress wrote "may" as "must".

Congress didn't pass a law and disappear. If Congress felt that the EPA was misinterpreting the language of the Clean Air Act it could have passed a law limiting the agency's powers. The fact that it did not do so is the strongest rebuttal to the claim that the EPA was operating outside its mandate.

This decision is an announcement by the Court that Congress can no longer be trusted to govern the agencies it oversees.

The EU is not a democracy. Its only democratic organ is toothless.

It is an association of democracies, led by an undemocratic executive that is increasingly out of control. At the moment it is busily destroying its own economy in a way that is baffling to many of its citizens.

If it doesn't evolve into something more democratic it probably hasn't long to go.
> go on a diet?

In the US at least, the word "diet" always implies some kind of calorie reduction and specific food choices. Things like "paleo diet" or "low-carb diet" define specific things to eat and not eat. The term "dieting" is associated with being in a caloric deficit, ostensibly to lose weight.

Avoiding ultra-processed and fried foods is not "dieting" in that sense, any more than choosing to eat one thing over another.

Most of the public cares about climate change and wants the government to do something. The overwhelming majority of the public supports abortion in some form or other. If they actually voted maybe we could change things, but lots of people just don't vote.

In general, accusing someone of being a shill is a poor move - even if you are right.

Instead I would encourage you to follow up with their comments and guide the argument back to it's basic facts - like that China is rounding up Muslims in camps and may be engaging in forced sterilization, and that allowing TikTok may not align with freedom.

Obviously don't spam or just blindly become a shill yourself, but just make the shilling activity do the opposite of what a shill might want.
You would expect resistance the same as any other military intervention has. However the magnitude of the that resistance given what is at stake is what would be telling.

Let’s have some consistency at least. Bring back both Roe and Lochner.
I see that you haven't let facts get in the way of a good theory.

I don't think you've read the dissenting arguments yet.

The core of this case is how do you interpret legislative text. The current Court is taking a radically strict view of legislation. They act like they are only reading the words. But in fact everyone has to interpret written words somehow. The question is what context do you use when you interpret the words.

Also keep in mind how the conservative justices were picked. Even if the justices truly decide cases based on non-partisan judicial ideologies (doubtful), the composition of the court has been picked in such a way that their decisions have conservative outcomes written all over them.
> Congress won't act

Under a legal constitutional system, when Congress "won't act", the laws stay the same as they were.

The Executive branch taking unilateral action beyond its authority because the Legislative branch "won't act" scares me even more, for the long-term health of our democracy, than laws staying the same as they are now for a bit longer.
there are a lot of lesson so be had...

just a few...

- long term planning of the gop vs short term tactics of dems

- justices staying on too long until it was too late

- bad (tone-deaf) campaigning for prez lost 3 seats on the sc

- ignoring rural and working-class (used to be the dems bread and butter) dissolved their base of support (clinton and the "new" dems)

- relying on the sc for too many rulings... next we loose gay marriage and probably interracial marriage in many states.....
Ah, I meant the basic engine is heavy - simple games take longer to load, your game is likely to be an order of magnitude larger in file size because of the luxuriant affordances of the graphic pipeline. I'm pretty sure if you compare average game size on disk between the two engines there'd be a big difference (even taking team size and development time into account).

Also the unreal editor is more likely to set my fan spinning in a distressing manner - I appreciate how light unity's editor by comparison in terms of not using many system resources - easy to run on my laptop.

(I worked with UE engine professionally back in the old times, but have never released any personal projects with it, despite having played around with every year or so).

About the engine features, yeah unity has as many ridiculous corners as unreal nowadays - I miss some of the simpler pipelines (the old animation one is better for simple 3D stuff for instance vs the giant state machine...)

Agreed that source code access is great. Unity's tech support used to be pathologically unresponsive. Having source access would've saved me a lot of stress and tears :/ (Thankfully the last time I was working on a unity project they were helpful about reporting status of bug fixes and the like, and actually getting things fixed. So props to unity for fixing that).
The SCOTUS is a political battleground where Federal laws can be passed as jurisprudence on the interpretation of the US Constitution, circumventing the legislative process.

Instead of laws on reproductive rights, you had a ruling even detailing the time frames in which abortion was legal.

Instead of legalizing gay marriage, you have a ruling on the federal recognition of licenses issued in individual states.

Instead of a law on lobbying, you have a ruling saying that monetary contributions to campaigns are the free speech of lobbying groups.

Instead of an organic law on weapons permits, you have a ruling saying what kinds of firearm regulations states can pass.

But people can't say this politicization of the SCOTUS is new; back when the hot topic were worker rights, in the early XX century, those were the battles being fought there, to skip Congressional debates:

That's a pipe dream. The division is urban-vs-rural, not state-vs-state. What is now a red state will inexorably become blue as people flock to it. Rinse and repeat.

America has been through divisive times in the past. We'll survive. I think what's notable now is that it's been so damn peaceful for most of our lives that this looks like unprecedented tribalism.

> decisions of vast “‘economic and political significance."

How is "economic and political significance" defined? From what I understand of the decision, it's defined as "6 of 9 people on SCOTUS don't like this regulation." And the deeper you dig into it, the more you find that these 6 people are willing to throw out just to be able to strike down this policy decision.

Supposedly, these 6 justices are advocates of textualism--the actual text, as written in the statute, should be dominant in the analysis of what can and can't be done in terms of interpretation. And here they completely ignore that in favor of trying to second-guess what Congress intended because... they can't use textualism to achieve what they want, I guess.
> We should instead spend time uniting people in opposition. Stay where you are and fight.

That is definitely one approach, and one I'm hoping to see through. But simultaneously you have to acknowledge that there could come a point where it's time to jump ship. That point is going to be different for everyone. Recent events have pushed some past that point. That doesn't seem hard to grasp.

> It's mind-blowing that people won't engage in trying to actually do something, even something as simple as helping a campaign, or donating money...

Have you been paying attention? People in this country have been more engaged over the last few years than at any point in my lifetime, and at this point the ship is still sinking.

Every time there is a school shooting, there is outrage and no change. Proud boys terrorize another fucking library event, and there aren't even reports of a single arrest. Women's rights being slaughtered and we get to hear how we need to vote. Another hearing laying out the obvious coup attempt on Jan 6th, and no action taken but another news headline.

This is just a snippet of the last ~30 days. 1 short month. I don't argue that it's my country. My country just looks like a real shithole lately.

> but instead they're like "well I'm going to just give up and spend all this time and effort moving to some other country where I also won't uphold any civic responsibility".

This is such a weird take. Consider employment. You can join a startup, work your ass off, cross your fingers, and hope for that big payday. High risk, high reward. Alternatively, you can join a mature company, collect a comfortable paycheck and moderately help to steer the bigger ship.

Right now, the US is looking like that startup. You can work your ass off, and it may give you a great payoff in the form of opportunity. But it's looking increasingly like it's going to fail. Alternatively, you can move somewhere that has all the big stuff in order, and you get to work on the small stuff that still has effect while not worrying as much about whether you're one injury away from bankruptcy.

Who knows? Maybe if we vote harder it'll turn around. At this point, I'm inclined to believe it's cultural. We barely voted out an insurrectionist. 48% of the country voted to keep that in play. This country is full of people who are actively encouraging someone to overthrow our government. 48%.
What is the argument here? You want us to use law theory from before the industrial revolution or something?
There are much worse things too. At least with crypto you only lose as much as you put in. Adjustable rate loans can (and do) completely wipe people out. I'd argue those are far worse than pretty much anything in crypto.

EDIT:

As of a month ago they still do (at 2x anyway.) Also that still has a ceiling on it. Yes if you leverage your entire life savings you can get in trouble but at that point I don't think it matters what you're securing the loan with, that's just extremely irresponsible.

And again, it's the debt that's causing the issue.

Nuclear and solar and wind and hydro.

But that whole business of singling out India and China is BS. If China was split up into 10 smaller countries that together emitted the same amount in aggregate, those 10 smaller countries would fly under the radar. It's only because China happens to be a single country that people point the finger. Per-capita emissions is the thing to be focusing on.
> Windows works with 30 year old code, and somehow managed [...]

I don't think Microsoft has any particularly secret sauce here, they just have a good reason to keep it going and the money to do so. Many other cases the money just isn't there.

And don't under estimate the herculean efforts Microsoft goes through, or eat least used to go through, to keep old programs running. It goes far beyond what I would have ever imagined had I not talked to some of the people involved with it. We're talking having the OS detect specific versions of specific programs (e.g. old versions of Quicken) and hot patching specific APIs with bug-compatible behavior so they don't break with an OS upgrade. Microsoft definitely takes backward compatibility seriously.

And the court didn't rule that Congress can't do that, the court ruled that Congress didn't do that. Congress can absolutely go write a law giving the EPA that authority, and they should. But if that's not what the law says, then that's not what the EPA can do.

We can't be opposed to police creatively interpreting laws to target minorities and be okay with the EPA creatively interpreting laws to target fossil fuel companies. Just because the latter is in the service of a good cause doesn't make it legal. The ends do not justify the means--down that way lies peril.

>Coinbase Tracer, formerly known as Coinbase Analytics, has faced controversy before. The branch of the exchange responsible for the software’s development emerged from Coinbase’s 2019 acquisition of blockchain intelligence firm Neutrino, whose executive team previously worked with a startup that sold spyware to several governments, including Saudi Arabia, known for human rights abuses.

I don't know why we should assume good faith on coinbase's part when the same group of people working on this used to sell spyware to human rights abusers.
Absolutely correct. There is a process for writing laws. There is a process for amending the constitution. But instead of building a broad coalition to go and do these things they would rather roll the dice with the judiciary. And when they lose try to change the judiciary. Completely wrong headed. We need to get our legislature working. We also need people to realize that living in a democracy means that you don’t always get your way.

As far as I can tell, the nonsense with Court appointments began back in the 80s, with the campaign against Reagan's nominee Robert Bork. Since then there's been a gradually ramping escalation of hostility from both sides. The GOP had to pay back the DEMs for the Bork thing, the DEMs try to smear Thomas, vetting of nominees is held up, then entirely withheld until the President leaves office, and so forth.

The politicization of the Court is a completely bipartisan affair going back 4 decades at least.

We might even say it goes back 8 decades, to FDR's threats to pack the court (see "a switch in time saves nine").
100%. We need to stop treating the judiciary as if it were royalty, and instead operate the government using the established rules for change.

That means forcing Congress to accept its role and do its job instead of being a place where the members spend most of their time fundraising and trying to keep their seats.

Highly disagree. All of the recent decisions make perfect legal sense, this coming from the son of a Constitutional attorney who has described to me the rulings, reasons behind them, precedents, etc.. And he's a pro-choice, anti-gun Democrat. He still agrees with the legal decisions. I read the rulings myself too and they make total sense given what I've learned over decades of listening to him.

> That may even be "constitutionally" correct... but it makes the US completely incapable of operating in the modern world.

The Constitution was designed to be amended to adapt to a changing world. Let's amend it! However, it is the role of the Supreme Court to apply what the Constitution DOES say, not decide what it SHOULD say.
