A majority in congress isn’t enough to pass regulatory laws. You need 60 votes unless you’ve got 50 willing to overturn the filibuster.

Indeed, OP overstated the reality. If the SC rules all day every day to reduce federal power, it would never be able to keep up with Federal power expansion.
You could miss out on some good junior developers if you pick one thing they are ignorant about and reject them because of it. There are plenty of bright junior developers who don't know everything, have opinions on things that they think they know, but will work hard and pick things up once they get some time at it. Of course, if they outright refuse to use something then that's another story.
I normally push back at calling consumer capitalism "freedom", but the freedom to leave your employment is a huge one and the serfs didn't have that. The whole idea of just being able to pick up and move somewhere would be alien to most historical peasants.
Solo! Come out of there, Solo!
I understand that thinking but it's ignores reality. To do what you want you want means maintaining 2 codebases (even if just for sub-parts of a site). It's really easy to say "This specific page could be static" and you are right, it could, but it would mean having fallbacks for every JS interaction on the page (or removing them if the user has JS disabled). There simply aren't enough people who die on the no-JS hill to care about, especially since it means ongoing development maintenance, testing, design/UI work, and the list goes on.
How would you stack Matlab against Mathematica? I’ve always found Matlab’s docs share a lot of the same qualities as your see in Mathematica.

Interesting that both are commercial languages.
You are comparing it with the risk of dying in an year. That is a once per year risk.
Wow... if this is the actual impact, that seems... fair. Yeah, you can regulate pollution levels but not go a step further and regulate the inputs that create pollution, unless that power is vested in you by Congress.
- creating listicles while driving

The compressor is moving the air around in the freezer, which can have an impact on how much heat is transferred. You can sit comfortably in a sauna, but your arms will heat up quickly if you wave them around. Similarly, a convection oven heats things faster than a conventional oven.
If your analysis is correct, you would expect Trump to have gotten a desicive victory in the popular vote. Not only did that not happen, but he lost the popular vote by 2 points.
> The major questions doctrine works in much the same way to protect the Constitution’s separation of powers. ... It is vital because the framers believed that a republic—a thing of the people—would be more likely to enact just laws than a regime administered by a ruling class of largely unaccountable “ministers.”

Congress will never have the bandwidth or speed to tackle every problem via legislation. Delegating areas to expert "ministers" is the only way to have a functional government in today's complex world.

This seems like just another reframing of "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge".
I've seen this from both the developer and consumer side of things. The legacy design of Unity encouraged truly terrible code designs which translate into sub-optimal performance on modern hardware.

Performance and tooling have historically driven game engine licensing. There's a reason why Unity has a noticeable lack of presence in so-called triple-a gaming. Believe me, if performance was "pretty good" and tooling was "excellent" then every major studio would be using Unity. Instead, they're overwhelming using Unreal or they're using their franchise engine that they've built over 1 or 2 decades similar to id Software whose engines used to be the direct Unreal competitor.

As a consumer, I cringe when I run game that is "powered by Unity". They nearly always feature extremely slow loading and sub-optimal framerate on top tier hardware. In contrast, an id or Unreal engine game will run at 4k 60fps while looking beautiful.

On another note, Unity's market has always seemed to be indie and double-a studios. I would expect a recession to cause many who would have "taken a year off to make a game" to change their minds as investments or savings drawdown.
This. The correct answer is yes we're really sorry there will be layoffs.

If there is one thing I've learned in life is that once you've betrayed someone's trust it can never be regained to the original state.
These disruptive rulings are making the Supreme Court irrelevant and dangerous to running of the country. They will push people to destroy it and rebuild it into something completely different.
From my vote to this decision there are so many layers of abstraction that I wouldn't even begin to have a clue who to vote for and in which election if I do or do not want this E-ID.

At least in national elections there are parties campaigning with a platform and then I can decide which platform I like best. How often the platforms of the elected parties get translated into reality is another question, but it can at least plausibly be described as demos kratos. Maybe the EU is "democracy" in some modern sense of the word, but in the original sense of the word it is not. (I'm not even saying that's a bad thing. Maybe it is in fact better to have elites deciding.)
These literalist justices are of the mind that if it wasn’t explicitly written, then it’s not allowed. Generalist/broad swath language is to be ignored. Only specific instruction is to be interpreted.
Most decisions are actually not split. It's just that the controversial ones get all the press. No one is gonna get fired up about 9-0 or 8-1 decisions.

I’ll look at GNUnet - I don’t know enough about it to comment.

GPG is largely a failure imo, I think Moxie is right about this - complexity is high (even when people’s life depends on it they won’t use it) and the core issue is that it’s distinct from the system itself.

Urbit nodes cannot be separated from the ID - you can’t run it without an ID which is a pretty clean way to solve a lot of this stuff out of the box (also adds a lot of cool features/guarantees you can make about collaborating with users over the network, ability for pseudonyms to accrue reputation, easy ability to moderate, and make spam not economically possible, etc.

I’ve become convinced you can’t solve these things separately in parts on the Linux stack, maybe someone will - but there’s been 30yrs of failure so I’m not optimistic.
What GUI libraries does Nim support?
So your argument is because the court regained hard earned approval in the past it is guaranteed to do so again?

Or the court can function perpetually against the public will?
I don't think I follow you. As far as I can tell, PoS is as much of a lottery as PoW. In PoW a player increases their chances of winning the lottery by spending real money on electricity. In PoS a player increases their chances of winning the lottery by spending real money on virtual tokens. The outcome should be the same, except that no electricity is wasted in the case of PoS.
Crypto's biggest friction point imo has been that people are used to interacting [primarily with centralized services. Average people don't want to manage their own crypto wallet because they aren't used to being the sole person responsible for managing things like that. They don't want all their money to be tied to a single computer, or QR code, or device, they want it tied to an account held by a big company, where all they have to do is prove who they are to access their stuff.
Because of this habit it feels like decentralized services will always end up as a collection of siloed centralized services. And with centralized services you get things like this data selling. Unless there's a paradigm shift in how non-technical people interact with decentralized services things like this are going to keep happening. That said, they're saying they're only providing publicly available data to ICE, but if it's publicly available and non-identifiable, why does ICE even need it, and why wouldn't they be able to get it themselves? (I'm actually asking, if you know I'd love to hear).
That's an OK summary of FedSoc talking points, but you're missing some of the barbs. Might want to try again.

The effective reuslt of the non-delegation doctrine is that, when Republicans do not like a policy outcome, Congress is required to employ a time machine to give explicit instructions to an agency decades ahead of time.
President Trump won the popular vote in 30 of 50 states.
My experience, many decades ago, taking lower-level Philosophy classes at a "top-ish" American research university:

- The first 2+ courses in Philosophy were great stuff, expanding my worldview & understanding.

- After that...the subject plunged to far-less-than-worthless. Required readings became impenetrable gibberish, seemingly written by intellectual super-snobs, vying with each other for nothing but "Most Incomprehensible Waste of Time" bragging rights.
>Others are outright creepy. You can't access medecine without verifying your ID? That locks lots of people out of access to healthcare (illegals, tourists, etc).

Does it not make sense that prescription medication can only be picked up by somebody who has been prescribed that medication (or somebody who has been delegated that authority by the prescribee)? As long as there's an offline mechanism available for verification I don't see the problem here.

>Age verification? So porn websites will store the real id of all their visitors (or alternatively a central EU age verification system will be notified every time you visit such a website)?

Presenting a token verifying that one is over 18 is not the same thing as presenting one's entire identity so that the service can verify one is over 18.

The way it could work is this: You try and access an age-restricted service (ARS). It returns a request for age verification including a unique ID. You then pass a hash of that request to the age verification service (AVS), and get back a token which is signed by the AVS. That token is then presented to the ARS, which validates that the signature and that the hash of their request are valid.

Boom, you have just verified that you are over 18 without leaking your identity to the ARS and without leaking the ARS's identity to the AVS.
This is sarcasm but there is a lot of truth in it unfortunately.

I'm sure there must be a term for this... known incompetence > unknown incompetence.

I wouldn't say that it's "especially those coming from bootcamps". Those coming from uni are no better IME.
That's my main question, if it's all public why would they buy this info from Coinbase?
I do understand that argument. Games have certainly gotten much more expensive, which I think is inevitable because the increased computational power of newer consoles is leading to developers wanting to fully utilise this power. I am however skeptical that this has lead to an increase in quality.

I agree that people probably wouldn't buy games at inflation-adjusted prices. People would find it hillarious if a company came forward, and offered a base game at $120 (although we do sometimes see games with addons that cost this much; the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Complete Edition costs nearly £120 (British pounds) but this comparison comes with the caveat that this includes stuff that wasn't in the original base game.) But if micro transactions are considered the consequence of having high-budget games then, frankly, I don't want them. As I said, there are still some incredible games made by independent studios, and these games are often made at a fraction of the price of their AAA counterparts.

I suppose I can't complain too much because my solution is just not to buy, and sink money into high-budget games, and just opt for the smaller budget games.

When Coinbase was created/founded, Uber had just launched in Chicago, didn't have UberX and wasn't the brand it is today. Looking at Google Trends data (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Uber), the peaks of interest happened in 2016 and in 2019.

So no, the goal of Coinbase before/at launch was unlikely to have been "The Uber of Crypto".

Deadlock is a feature not a bug. You want deadlock because one side or another pushing their agenda against the majority is the road to totalitarianism. If there is a deadlock, should one side of another simply dictate? Of course not.

If Trump ran the executive branch, would you want him pushing through via administrative fiat things that Congress doesn’t want? I certainly don’t want the EPA making policy — I want them doing what Congress explicitly tasks then to do. Same for other agencies. It’s the Major Questions doctrine.

Congress exists for a reason. The executive branch executes the will of the states and people as indicated by Congress. That’s the entire point of Congress.
You think that the court is principled? You think that will work?

A subsidiary of the "just world" hypothesis is what they call in Russia the "just tsar" theory. The theory that the final legal authority, the tsar, is reasonable. He just doesn't know what all his bloodsucking boyars and rampaging Cossacks are doing.

Fascism mixed with bureaucracy is extremely powerful and extremely difficult to fight.

Hopefully this article can shed some light on it for you.

This is what I view is happening in the US.

Single dictators don’t mean fascism. That’s an extremely simplistic and playground view on fascism. Heck, single dictators are much easier to combat than democratic & bureaucratic fascism.
git isn't easy to understand. I think the real irony is I spent the first decade of my career teaching senior engineers how to use distributive version control. So many older guys decided to just use the SVN shim instead of learn something new and useful.

Well, they're asserting copyright law allows them to do it. It's not clear how well that would hold up in court against a well-funded lawsuit -- but that would require someone whose code got regurgitated substantially intact by Copilot, who also had the resources to manage the suit.

Look at it the other way around: if the nominees are being questioned about what their opinions are on specific issues, the Congress has already turned it into a political match. The Congress ought to be trying to probe for their qualifications as a justice, and I don't think that one's opinion on self defense or abortion figure directly into that.

Further, I don't buy that you truly believed the argument behind Roe anyway. I don't know you personally, but it's a good bet that you don't support the philosophy that it described. What Roe said[1] was that a person can make whatever[2] treatment they individual decide (in consultation with their doctor) is most appropriate for their circumstances.

But I'm betting that you don't actually agree with this, as evidenced that you likely haven't pursued other violations of it with such vehemence. So I ask you:

1. Have you taken to the streets protesting when people, after consulting with their doctor, have been forbidden the right to use marijuana medicinally?

2. Do you oppose the authority of the FDA to determine what medications Americans should be allowed to use, such that we should be able to use a pharmaceutical even if the FDA says it's too dangerous, or not effective enough?

3. Have you even argued against the authority of the government to force individuals to take covid-19 vaccinations?

If you answer "no" to any of the above, then I assert that your claims to believe in the argument behind Roe is false.

[1] Believe it or not, I actually support the philosophy of bodily autonomy. But that doesn't change the fact that the actual argument behind Roe was a notably lousy one. This is precisely the point I was trying to make in my original comment: one's opinions about the goodness of something are independent of their judgment about the legality of legislation under the Constitution.

[2] Actually, Roe's text limits itself to just abortions, but it seems clear that such a principle ought to apply to all medical treatments in principle - that's why many of today's protests are framed more broadly as "bodily autonomy".

Change can suck. It can also be great. I think our tendency towards loss aversion makes us focus on how much it can suck. Even if my future might be better, it will be different, and I can want to not lose the thing to which I currently feel attached.

> That's exceptionally difficult when the competing values, like climate, are more abstract than the ones currently held. I worry that humans are not psychologically equipped to manage problems of this scale.

I think we may be equipped, as we've handled problems on much larger scales than I think our ancestors would have expected, and yet I hear you, wondering what (if anything) could change to make us more equipped.

I wonder if reframing our identity could help. Instead of me only being a coal miner or Michigander, I'm also more connected with my human identity. Maybe more backwoods experiences, watching and living TV shows like Alone or Naked and Afraid...I dunno. I wonder if we don't actually have to try to connect to the planet but just more deeply to our local wildlife and to ourselves.
Conservatives love deadlock, it means the federal government does less, and power remains at the local level.
If the farmer is unwilling, you'll find someone else. That was one of the conditions right? That you'll be able to find someone "who is willing to exchange it for something else with material value in any city on the planet". Not the likelihood of a farmer during a country-wide blackout. This is just moving the goalposts.

Not sure why this video needs to be 3 and a quarter hours, because it is mostly repetition and rehashing the same perspective that is summed up in a few minutes, which is basically the title, and that is how shallow this is.

The perspective is neither interesting nor rigorous, and I saw no attempt to define first principles, but just throwing around terms like "truth" and "objective reality" without any attempt to define these, when long before the field of neurology existed philosophers already determined there can be no truth and that objective reality does not exist.

Shocking... not. Sedative, yes.
I agree that that appears to be the tactic in use.

The Court could choose to act with the knowledge that Legislative won't do things, and so behave as the last bastion of relative non-partisanship across the Federal government by allowing the overall public opinion to influence what cases they choose to hear & their eventual outcomes. That would conflict with the letter description of their job, but arguably be in support of the spirit of the system as a whole.

They're not going to go that route, though, it appears.
That's exactly what this may do. The ATF in theory can't just up and decide what to ban without congress making a law. Turning law abiding citizens into felons overnight. Bumpstock ban? That's gone in theory. FRT trigger? Braces? ATF is going to quickly realize they can't just make shit up on the fly if it's not a law.
> The notion of property rights is only relevant with a central authority who is able to enforce it.

The innovation of bitcoin is precisely making this statement no longer true. The "property" might only be digital data, rather than physical things, so you can argue that it is no longer true in only a limited context, but it is not longer absolutely true.
