The dissenting opinion explicitly argues that Congress did explicitly grant the Executive to explicitly regulate GHG emissions, both the manner and the amount.

"The limits the majority now puts on EPA’s authority fly in the face of the statute Congress wrote. The majority says it is simply “not plausible” that Congress enabled EPA to regulate power plants’ emissions through generation shifting. Ante, at 31. But that is just what Congress did when it broadly authorized EPA in Section 111 to select the “best system of emission reduction” for power plants. The “best system” full stop—no ifs, ands, or buts of any kind relevant here. The parties do not dispute that generation shifting is indeed the “best system” the most effective and efficient way to reduce power plants’ carbon dioxide emissions. And no other provision in the Clean Air Act suggests that Congress meant to foreclose EPA from selecting that system; to the contrary, the Plan’s regulatory approach fits hand-in-glove with the rest of the statute. The majority’s decision rests on one claim alone: that generation shifting is just too new and too big a deal for Congress to have authorized it in Section 111’s general terms. But that is wrong. A key reason Congress makes broad delegations like Section 111 is so an agency can respond, appropriately and commensurately, to new and big problems. Congress knows what it doesn’t and can’t know when it drafts a statute; and Congress therefore gives an expert agency the power to address issues—even significant ones—as and when they arise. That is what Congress did in enacting Section 111. The majority today overrides that legislative choice. In so doing, it deprives EPA of the power needed—and the power granted—to curb the emission of greenhouse gases."
In the US, LedgerX[1] (now owned by FTX) is a reputable, regulated exchange. The longest-dated put I see for $15k is EOY 2022 and is trading at a spread of $2000-8000.

You can buy puts at the $25k strike dated June 2023 for $4300-4800.

The default of windows already do compatibility in some crazy way. And the compatibility mode lies to the program about system version or even fake old bugs so program relies on bug will run. And I'd imagine. To make this work, ms would need tons of most shitty code you'd imagine in the source o fake those behaviors.

I find it very strange that the same HN crowd that loves open source and wouldn't touch anything proprietary with a 10 foot pole has so many reservations against moving off of GitHub. I am not generalizing here, just surprised. According to what I have seen in my short experience, HN should have ditched GitHub long since.

Anyway...

I have always been curious as to why the largest hosting for OSS isn't open source itself. Maybe I am not intelligent enough to realize the reasoning behind this. Imagine if git wasn't open source! That's like an OS that only runs open source software but isn't open source itself. It just doesn't make sense for people to trust such an obviously flawed service...and yet they do.

And if that wasn't enough when GitHub got acquired by Microsoft very few people thought it amiss. Indeed, even now a lot of people are happy that Microsoft is running their digital homes. I think if GitHub was measured on the FOSS scale it would fall short on every measure.

Co-pilot isn't even that big of a deal. That's just the icing on the top. GitHub is untrustworthy top-to-bottom even before there was Co-pilot.

But I suppose convenience always trumps openness and freedom. It's especially sad because the whole point behind FOSS was this. Is the whole FOSS idea getting old?

The worst thing is that GitHub has monopolized the open source world. We can't even think of moving off of GitHub because of what we'll lose. But how about we do this:

We create a dummy repo on GitHub for our project that has all the fancy README, releases, issues, actions etc. but we keep the actual code out of GitHub on an open source service. Would that work? Is that feasible?

Basically, we use GitHub's wide adoption for what it's meant to be used: to market/share your project but keep the source code on a separate platform. This would create a new host of problems but I think it can actually work.
For EPA. Court took power away from unelected bureaucrats and gave it back to elected officials.

For Row. Court took power away from itself and gave it back to elected officials.

You can vote for those elected officials. This is democracy working as intended.
Agreed, however I was not referring to the institution.
Senate representation is one thing. Requiring a supermajority to pass anything in an already unrepresentative house is just ridiculous, and absolutely does diminish the quality of "democracy" the US has. Especially considering the US house isn't particularly representative either, due to a combination of an absurdly low representative cap and gerrymandering.

The US is certainly more democratic than it was at its founding, when neither the president nor the Senate were entirely directly elected at all, but it's not even close to as democratic as most Americans appear to believe it is.

I don't understand what mental model you're using for the relationship between price, fees, and mining costs.

Bitcoin fees have nothing to do with the price or the cost of mining; fees are basically proportional to (transaction throughput demand) / (fixed transaction throughput supply).

I've seen various reports saying the cost to mine 1 BTC is between $8,000 and $13,000 so miners are still profitable. Note that mining ASICs have increased their efficiency since 2017 but difficulty has also increased.
They will, and they are judging by reviews.

It’s a bit nitpicky but that B needs to be a lowercase one.
Are you just repeating that the OP said?

> On the other hand, if you read liberal dissents, they’re mostly about what they think appropriate policy should be.

The Supreme Court is not supposed to set policy. It's only supposed to rule on if the policy set by others (Congress) is constitutional or not.

If the EPA could do anthing to stop emmisions, banning power plants from existing at all would satisfy "do anything to stop emmisions", so would "depopulating the planet" (no people, no need for power plants). Those seems like they make it pretty clear they need specific limits. They were given specific limits. The court confirmed that.

Congress needs to increase what they're allowed to regulate and how if they want more power. It's frustrating that that's so hard to come by but it's hard to imagine how else it could be
From page 8 of the decision:

> The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion.

Seems pretty clear: it's for the states to legislate, not Congress, notwithstanding this:

> The Court overrules those decisions and returns that authority to the people and their elected representatives.

which clearly does not refer to Congress given the preceding.

That said, state laws regarding abortion almost certainly don't reach a) federal land within those states, b) interstate travel. Congress can easily fund abortion clinics on federal lands, and it can fund travel by pregnant women seeking abortions. So in a way, you're not wrong.
Haha, man, I had the same thinking ("Surely I can find some genius programmers in Asia or Eastern Europe willing to do the same work for a fraction of the price") but the reality is very different

I had no luck with it at all myself. I'd get completely useless low-quality crap work out of these guys when I got anything out of them at all.

I think you'd have to hire some local managers and maybe send over some experienced devs from the USA to train up the locals, at which point it'd only be a matter of time until they realize their new worth and jump ship for FAANG or whatever.
These are valid concerns. But both options are extremes. There's a lot of middle ground between don't complete any suspected fraud transactions and always complete suspected fraud transactions.
Even developing countries have access to useful financial networks. I did a few projects in Kenya and Cameroon and traveled around Uganda last year, the traditional banking sector isn't great but telco's have filled the gap and it's easy to use mobile money instead (and in a way that doesn't chew up data). Not sure about exporting the means of surveillance, I think it's much more useful as a geoeconomic tool to enforce things like sanctions for a country like the U.S. than it is to spy on the average person.
Depends on the size. At retail size counterparty risk of e.g. Binance or FTX is a talking point, not a legitimate concern.

If you want to take a big position, talk to someone like Wintermute who has a big OTC desk, or if you want a better deal, find a friend of a friend. Someone you know knows a whale.
Sure, but a check is at least ostensibly ephemeral (even if there's nothing preventing someone from jotting down the account/routing number), and there are legal protections against using that info for transactions other than that consented to on the check (hence the signature and memo line and such).

Contrast that with explicitly authorizing PornHub to withdraw from your account at their discretion, as is the case when you're giving them your account/routing number on a web form. That info then gets stored in some database.

And no, I don't give utility companies or landlords or what have you such authorization, either. I mail them a check (thereby not giving them cause to store the account info long-term and not giving them consent to auto-withdraw), or I use a credit or debit card (which I can dispute or change far more easily than I can a bank account). If they accepted cryptocurrencies, then I'd pick that over either of those options.
I believe that the classic offender is digoxin, a common cardiac medication. As mentioned, opiates also commonly fall into this category. And it's less common today thanks to new legal restrictions on maximum indicated doses, but paracetamol/acetaminophen is also problematic.
1. Optimization like outsourcing sacrifices resiliency in the name of maximizing profit. In the software world trying to save money by keeping no backups or not allocating additional server capacity in the name of maximizing profits would be seen as insane but that's how US manufacturing has been managed.

2. Economists in general don't account for any externalities or 2nd order effects when it comes to free trade. In theory comparative advantage makes sense, but it doesn't account for how outsourcing cheap manufacturing to China eventually allows them to build up an economic base that threatens the US militarily

Basically for the US economy to work requires the system to be completely perfect, anything like a war or pandemic that throws even a minor wrench in an extremely complicated system causes disaster.

If we put economists in charge they'd have outsourced all food production because cheaper labor in other countries would be more "efficient". Which would be fine until some sort of famine, then those countries would just keep the food and we'd be stuck with "high value" products while starving

Neither of these things are actually true in practice.
Forget Copilot for a second. Do you think it is healthy for the industry to be so dependent on one single service provider, and a closed one on top of that?

What is the best way to pick up Rust and its best practices as of today? References welcome (thanks in advance!)
Have the same problem, I was able to pick up a lot of languages to fix programs and/or add features to an existing codebase, but rust was really frustrating. I programmed with it around 3 months and I still need 10 times as long for implementing some things (And the async thing is really, really awkward)
The article claims geolocation data, which you aren't going to get from the public blockchain.

Where's that coming from? Maybe other unspecified "public" sources.

It seems suspicious though, like they are getting it from geolocating IP addresses of their users, and correlating those to transactions -- that is not public info at all. But perhaps they get the geolocation info from some other source unrelated to their users?

Personally if my bank was also in the business of spying on financial transactions commercially... I wouldn't feel super secure about my choice of bank.
You have identified the core of the regulatory challenge: Congress shirks responsibility. My question, what path makes Congress more likely to be responsible (and, upstream of that, get voters to hold them responsible)? Do we want regulations to multiply or languish in the absence of congressional action? I think voters are more likely to demand practical, governance oriented representatives if the regulatory agencies aren't bandaging over the problems. Do we want face the pain now or will we just keep kicking the can down the road?

It's funny because China also thinks the US is doing this.
The court decided there was a harm. Seems reasonable to me.

The United States. The first free market country, and the first to raise the standard of living of scores of millions of people out of poverty into the middle and even wealthy classes.

The American people are also the most generous in the world, by donations to charity.

I know that the popular view is the US is some sort of hellhole, but yet millions of people are trying to immigrate here, walking thousands of miles just to try.
> Do you not think this court would use the constitution to strike down their laws (say universal healthcare or something)?

They upheld Obamacare again just last year.

> They are only rolling back these excesses because it fits their ideology.

This is just liberal projection. Liberal justices almost always vote as a unified bloc on major cases based on the results. It's always the conservative justices that go wobbly: Thomas voting against federal marijuana prohibition, Roberts repeatedly voting to uphold Obamacare, Roberts opposing overtrning Roe, Kennedy finding that the Constitution protects same-sex marriage, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh finding that the Civil Rights Act protects sexual orientation, etc.
Whoever told you BlockFi is "decentralized" is very very confused/wrong.
Yes, it's very likely software-based solution the likes many countries have (Smart-ID, BankID and others). It's in many ways just easier that way. Better? I don't think so.

It is possible to do it without an "app" by using SIM applets. The keys are stored on the SIM card, it acts as an HSM. Estonian Mobile-ID has been implemented using that and it works even on feature phones. There are a few papers about the system if one searches around and if you're interested.
IMHO if they follow the principles of agile or scrum it will make a weak team better. Simply shipping something no matter how small every 2-4 weeks can fix a whole swath of problems. Or if not fix at least bring them to light.
Oh, yeah, politically that took like four years to happen, if not more.

Bodily autonomy, right? Like, the right to not to get infected by a communicable disease in which there are preventative measures out there?

A pregnant woman the next desk over to you doesn't have any effect on your body. A person infected with covid the next desk over does. You do understand how pregnancy works, right?

You have all the right you want to not get vaccinated so long as your action doesn't impact everyone else around you. Feel free to go live in the woods with everyone else who doesn't interact with the rest of society. Nobody is going to come by and say you need to get vaccinated, just that there are a lot of benefits to being a member of society if you choose to do so.
Directly related to that, if the expert they hired to the board that led them in this direction was from Great Plains it useful to note that Great Plains exited by being bought by Microsoft.
Who are these people who are well educated and live in first world countries, competent enough to do these tasks, but also are in a position to benefit from crypto? To me the only (incidental, not at all fundamental) benefit of crypto is if you live in a country with sanctions and you need to get money in/out.

> Centralized systems work great... until they don't.

There has yet to be a decentralized cryptocurrency. We can't even say things like "decentralized systems work great until they don't" because so far they don't exist, and what does has been less than "great".

> Our grandchildren will wonder why we allowed the free world to export the means of surveillance to the third world.

I don't even know what you're going for here? Crypto solves surveillance now? The global, distributed ledger that everyone can fundamentally access because that's the whole point?
If it helps, I was very discouraged during my first two attempts to learn Rust (both in early/mid 2018). I thought I had also reached my limit.

If you haven't tried again in a while, you should give it another attempt -- I found it much easier after the 2018 edition was finalized, in part because of significant improvements to the borrow checker[1]. In terms of programming ergonomics, the pre-2018 and post-2018 versions of the language feel very different, even if they happen to share most of the same syntax.

Antitrust would be good, but that wouldn't affect the FCC, they'd just issue the same request to as many app stores as they deemed necessary. Technically, Microsoft will also probably have received the same request, but really who cares.
Flowers were not a commodity before there was a market for them. Internet did not have commercial value before the speculative wave, in fact very little profits were made even by the end of the dot com boom. Agree there is rife speculation in crypto, but rife speculation does not prove that there won't be future sustained value. When dot com boom imploded it was because people similarly thought there was no value in the internet.
