No, according to the Supreme Court, it's interstate commerce if a butterfly bats its wings and the resulting hurricane causes someone to buy a raincoat in another state.

IIRC, the actual case involved someone growing wheat their own land that they didn't even plan to sell. But since wheat was sold in interstate commerce, the court said any activity involving involving wheat could be regulated as interstate commerce.
What gets me is that people always talk about the land and not people who live there. As if they don’t matter at all.

Do you need that piece of land that bad so that Armenians living there have to abandon their homes?
This must be culturally specific since where I live there's absolutely nothing even just unfortunate about the word "kefír".

Once Coinbase legally noted if they go bankrupt their customers would go bankrupt the crypto craze took a nosedive. When markets went down during COVID so did crypto but it shot up pretty quickly. So far not seeing that and personally after being reminded I could lose all my money if they went bankrupt Im less then thrilled to jump back in.

A month ago, governmental violations of bodily autonomy were ignored, or grumbled about at most. If you want me to believe that this change is qualitatively different, you need to explain that, or else I'm going to put both violations in the same bucket.

> no state nor the Federal government has even hinted at the idea of a universal vaccination requirement for COVID-19

First, regardless of what they've actually tried to do, there has been a lot of talk about how they should. Such talk comes pretty much exclusively from the same group of people who think that overturning Roe is an apocalypse.

Second, they most certainly have tried to force vaccination as much as they could get away with. That wasn't by a law saying "get vaccinated or go to jail". That was a backdoor coercive thing where the gov't tried to say "if you want to do business with the gov't then all your employees must be vaccinated (leading to employees getting fired)", in conjunction with the fact that the government is already so damned big that they can be the 800lb gorilla in purchasing as a backdoor alternative to legislation. And while this was going on, people who I'm very sure support Roe were nodding their heads saying it's the right thing to do. Again, there may be a principled argument for treating this differently. But I think it's incumbent on the Roe protesters to explain what that principle is, or they appear to be unprincipled hypocrites.

We have never seen a distributed mesh network that worked correctly in the real world at scale. The OLPC project tried doing that but ran into severe technical problems. So it's not necessarily impossible, but I simply don't believe we will have an operating mesh network in that scenario.

There's also a strong argument to be made for citizens to get equal representation when it comes to the crafting of laws that affect them.
Oh that is a good one too. I would actually kind of dig that if one could get off the ground.
My apologies if I misunderstood your statement but I interpret it to mean that you're skeptical that Biden received a large number of votes compared to Obama.

If my interpretation is correct, then I think you're missing the big factor that conservatives and registered Republicans actively campaigned for Biden. They didn't just reject Trump, they explicitly said they were voting Biden, Campaigned for him, asked their fellow GOP members to vote Biden over Trump.

At the end of the day, you had Democrats + Independents + Conservatives voting Biden. That coalition didn't exist during Obama's time. In fact, the people who most likely voted for Romney were the people who were now voting for Biden

The Raspberry Pi Foundation's ultimate goal is to get access to computing, computer science, robotics and experimentation into the hands of children, especially those that can't afford a conventional PC. Their goal is not to advance free software or open source or any of that stuff. The GPU on Raspberry Pis (which is basically the master controller of the entire system) is a repurposed chip that was meant for cable TV set-top boxes and is very proprietary.
I hate how when people say scrum they really mean something which is not well defined and you end up with some weird system that only some "scrum master" understands and that they seem to be making up as they go along.
The reasons that Windows is awful have nothing to do with code quality. Windows is awful because of intentional choices Microsoft made (e.g., bloatware that gets reinstalled with every update, mandatory Microsoft accounts, and mandatory telemetry).
Seconded. It can be a lot of effort to just set up a client which won’t mangle patchset emails. Maybe Mutt etc. users get that for free, though.

Not the person you are responding to, but is there somewhere reputable offering these kinds of contracts to no-name retail investors like myself? I would absolutely load up on something like 12,000 - 15,000 USD bitcoin puts depending on the time decay people are offering and how certain I could be that they would actually let me exercise them, and not freeze trading or even go belly up during the crash. I am somewhat.. skeptical I will be able to exercise them on an primarily crypto exchange like Binance that has blocked trading during freefalls before that is structurally dependent on the price of crypto to some extent.

I want a habitable planet for my kids. If you don’t believe in climate change, there is simply no value in engaging. The science is proven by scientists who do science things. It’s like someone not believing in gravity. “But I have my own opinion!” They believe their opinions carry the same weight as facts. You’re just lighting precious time and effort on fire needlessly, banging your head against the brick wall expecting the brick wall to critically think with factual information.

it feels kind of inconsistent. prior to roe being overturned the governments were able to regulate abortion to some extent. i assume some abortion medical procedures required a licensed doctor and i assume abortion medicine was regulated by the FDA. but at the same time the government was limited in how it could restrict abortion and this was justified by some privacy right which somehow didn't apply to the FDA regulation of abortion or medical licensing related to abortion. also, this same privacy right couldn't be invoked to allow you to take other medicines you might want. if you look at the arguments made in Roe v Wade I'm pretty sure you could claim you are taking recreational drugs as part of your marital sex routine and therefore this right to privacy should be extended to these drugs. i think if you honestly extended the general principal of roe v wade then a let of laws would be unconstitutional.
Let me ask you plainly: are you a lawyer? You seem well informed, but not lawyerly. I feel like you have good theoretical knowledge of how this should work in an ideal world, but not as much understanding of how it works in practice.
"Rust", "go", "cell", all of those words have a preexisting meaning which is more common than the corresponding programming languages.

Yes, I agree. If you are tasked for example with analyzing a coin to assess its bias, you could do a very thorough job, measuring precisely its mass distribution, its contours, etc and come up with an extremely accurate estimate that say, the probability of it landing Heads is 73.22%.

If the coin is subsequently flipped and comes up Tails, it doesn't mean your analysis was wrong.

On the other hand, 538's simulation was based on probabilities of winning each state, and as I think most will agree, before and after the election, the most important states were Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. On election day, 538 gave the following probabilities:

Wisconsin 83.5% Clinton [1]

Pennsylvania 77.0% Clinton [2]

Michigan 78.9% Clinton [3]

I think Nate really screwed the pooch here. The vast bulk of his effort should have been spent on these states. If that is in fact the case, then I retract my criticism.

You're catastrophizing.

So far this court seems to be largely giving more power to voters and their representatives to create law, limiting their own power (Dobbs), and giving power to the states.
As much as I enjoy (and actually use) crypto, you touch a very important point.

No current cryptocurrency that is even remotely decentralized, offers good throughput / scalability / tps.

Bitcoin has Lightning and it's in my opinion fundamentally flawed in its UX. It hasn't picked up much adoption after many years for what it's worth.

Ethereum has many L2 solutions in development but they are many years away from being finished (actually scalable, safe, decentralized)

I don't know much about other cryptocurrencies but from what I've seen they all are either very centralized or not scalable either (see the Blockchain Trillema)
This article doesn't compel me to give up github. It seems like it basically talks a lot about how proprietary software is evil and then complains about Copilot.

Then it drops this:

> GitHub's business model has always been “proprietary vendor lock-in”.

How is this Github's business model? Unless you're using Github specific features like Github actions and workflows, it's fairly easy to switch to another Git based host.

Then the article provides "alternatives" that are all lacking important features.

> If you're ready to take on the challenge now and give up GitHub today, we note that CodeBerg and SourceHut0 are excellent options right now.

The article immediately talks about drawbacks with all of these alternatives and then mentions a guide on how to self host using git lab. Why would I go through all the trouble of swapping to a different version control host if I don't gain any value? In addition to not gaining value, I'll also lose features that are very nice to have.

This article doesn't convince me at all. Yes Copilot is questionable and we should pursue the ethics behind what it does, but if you want to convince people to give up Github you should at least be prepared to give an alternative that offers a great deal of feature parity.

There was a line that you put your toe on when the crew lined up on old ships!
Can you cite some materials to back up your claims?

Besides the latest Roe V Wade decision deviating from two previous decisions which were decided by larger majorities, it also cites ideas based in “originalism” or constitutional fundamentalism which don’t even make sense. They argued there is “no general right to privacy” outlined in the constitution, which clashes greatly with any reasonable reading of the 4th amendment.

So please, do explain how the 4th amendment doesn’t grant any right to general privacy, and how this current highly political court is somehow actually being more legally objective than the previous two which created and upheld decisively the ruling which is also generally agreed to align with reasonable moral stances
LinkedIn ups the stakes on being an asshole. That's a good thing.

Just because you've gotten value from Urbit doesn't mean it's not a cult. People get value from cults. The problem with cults is not that they don't produce any value. The problem is the cost of being a member is generally high, and this doesn't become evident until it's too late.

In the case of Urbit, that cost is, at the very least, dealing with Nock and Hoon.
As a leader of a FOSS project that is on github, and migrated off of sourceforge because SVN and email patches were not scaling - I'm a bit confused by this article.

Co-pilot has issues, ergo github is going the way of sourceforge, and so now we must abandon github? Do I have that reasoning correct?

We need to:

- migrate the bug queue

- have all links in commit history break

- application integration with githib for bug reporting be removed

- update documentation

- find a new website host (and no longer github.io)

- find a new CI/CD (we were already burned by travis, github workflows are nice)

- teach our user contributors to actually use git! There has been a lot of heartache from them that they have to use the pencil icon on a web ui to edit config files, now we have to take them back to using a git GUI client! We were on github before that blessed pencil icon feature came out, there was no end to the wailing about how unapproachable the process was (super frustrating when users see they have to do something.. frustrating for us because our users wanted to just email is stuff so we could then do the uploading to git work)

- lose all PR history

- migrate project tracking

- find a new place to host release artifacts

- update our website to use a new distribution URL (the website scrapes github api to get latest version for download link; it's nice never updating website as we do releases on every merge)

- figure out and migrate repository permissions. (We have a hundred repositories of user generated plugin content, everything about migrating that would be a lot of work and missing important features)

- lose our search ranking and rebuild our SEO

What else to add to this pile.. and all because co-pilot smells?? Meanwhile all of that work is busy work, and not at all feature-pare. That kind of migration would take a long time, seems like that pivot without good reason is the worst kind of churn. Convince me this article is not a temper tantrum about copilot...

>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

This is actually a modern take that was essentially created by Justice Scalia. I like the take ("textualism") in many ways but, to be clear, the SCOTUS has no such mandate.
It would probably be more stupid if they tried to build their own.
Yeah no worries. It is the truth.

Oh totally agree - someone can just pull a necklace right off you. I was just surfacing the point that at least gold does has some value on its own as a status symbol - there is a market for jewelry outside of gold as a transfer protocol. An bitcoin wallet without ability to transfer it is just some used up memory, it doesn’t have any value on its own. See coins going to 0 when exchanges close their doors. All the banks in the world could close and people would still find shiny rocks attractive and admirable. We have for thousands of years.

I can understand skepticism with company-sponsored blogs. For what it is worth, I don't have a product to sell here in this space and make no commissions.

As a user, I subscribe to haveibeenpwned alerts on my main email addresses and have been for multiple years. I think there are fewer humbling "[hackers leaking my users table] won't happen to me" reminders than that. It happens to everyone. The ones listed in haveibeenpwned are just the tip of the iceberg and the ones we know about and have been confirmed/verified.

As an enterprise developer, I've been a part of some of the worst security audits imaginable. Thankfully those were all preventative industry requirements, and I'd hate to have to deal with "the real thing". Those audits always come with a reminder: the most secure data is data that you don't have, anything else it doesn't matter how well you think it is encrypted at rest is a liability.

As a user I never want to have to setup another password ever again. I realize that's a pipe dream and we are still at least a few standards away from making that dream a reality, but I believe in it and I've championed it when I've thought standards got close. (I was a fan of the original, now dead OpenID [but not the Zombie OIDC wearing its skin]. I thought Mozilla's Persona/BrowserID was brilliant and killed too early in its infancy. I'm hopeful for Webauthn.)

As a developer I never want to own another database table with passwords stored in it. It's low hanging fruit that every attacker is looking for. I don't care at this point how those passwords are salted, hashed, encrypted, mashed, or other waffle house preparation keywords. Attackers still try to pull the records no matter how safe you think they are. Not having them at all is just entirely easier than worrying about having them.

I don't entirely care how I get rid of the password table. I've paid for solutions. I've used passwordless tools like "magic links". (To use those right you often need all the hard lessons of JWTs and other token types and keeping those secure. It's not necessarily "easier" or "harder", but a lot of knowing how to do it right transfers.)

I just believe pretty strongly at this point that the best password table is one that you don't have and don't have to manage. No matter how easy it seems to "just bcrypt it".
But does Congress or the EPA get to determine that scope?

You're arguing that the EPA gets to make that call. The supreme court says it's Congress.

Isn’t outsourcing incredibly common for this type of thing? Not saying I am particularly fond of Thales (I’m not), but I have extremely low expectations of an EU in-house software development team. All things considered, I’d expect a military contractor to be proficient at security as well.

What a surprise. How many Republicans are on the Supreme Court again?

> ... agreeing that Congress had not "intended to delegate... decision[s] of such economic and political significance".

Apparently the Supreme Court does not believe that the Environmental Protection Agency was intended to be given agency to protect the environment. It's like a The Onion parody.

> Attorney General Eric Schmitt for Missouri - one of the 19 states - called it a "big victory... that pushes back on the Biden EPA's job-killing regulations".

There the Republicans are again, beating the jobs drum in a period of historic lows of unemployment. Small government to them means big government where they want and small elsewhere, e.g., Congress and the Supreme Court acting as protector for corporations.
And by not at least naming one of the problems, the author is being cowardly and/or lazy. It's like describing a reviewed item as "good". It conveys no information other than "I like it". The word "problematic" does the same thing here. It signals that the author doesn't like something but doesn't tell us anything about why. In other words, it's fucking useless.

Europeans have a rich history of bad regimes and their removal. It's not like the puppet regime would be like "Oh no, we can't do anything about this person who tweets nasty things about us because we can't look him up in the central registry". It's going to be like "hey Twitter give us the ip address of this person or you loose your money and access to our market" and then they will phone the ISP and tell them to give the ID and address of the user with that ip address.

So in reality, central registry of information doesn't really protect you from anything but saves the bad actor a few phone calls. On the other hand, it saves you a lot of phone calls and office visits every time you need to deal with the government.

If Russians install a puppet regime, the existence or lack of central registry wont actually change much. It will require popular uprising to make a difference, which Europeans are actually accustomed to.

Riots and protests happen all the time everywhere and taking down the governments is a thing too. Of course it depend on the specific country but in general governments in European countries resign all the time and when the refuse to resign despite popular demand they end up removed by riots.
