I don’t think you understand a libertarian view.

I think the federal government does maximal harm anytime it passes any laws. You’re correct the federal government shouldn’t pass any law. The states probably shouldn’t either regarding this.

Basically my view is that impositions of will is best served at the smallest possible unit. Hopefully, that’s at the individual level, ie I don’t want to hurt you so you don’t hurt me. But if a law must exist, do so locally. If it really must be broadened, then do so at a larger scale.

If a town up the creek is poisoning a town down the creek, then at the very least you have to impose law between two said towns, else you risk violence. That would be the minimal range you could impose. The legal system is only there as an alternative to war.

In this case, it seems rather obvious to me there should be no laws really. That said, If the majority of a region / town disagree who am I to impose my will from across the world? That vast majority is split on this issue globally, so I don’t think law is a good idea as it may lead to violence as it’s imposing will as opposed to resolving a conflict.

When it comes down to it, I think one could make a convincing argument that individual sperm and eggs are alive. IMHO, what matters for what's generally considered "human life" is when consciousness begins and ends: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-does-conscio...

> But when does the magical journey of consciousness begin? Consciousness requires a sophisticated network of highly interconnected components, nerve cells. Its physical substrate, the thalamo-cortical complex that provides consciousness with its highly elaborate content, begins to be in place between the 24th and 28th week of gestation. Roughly two months later synchrony of the electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythm across both cortical hemispheres signals the onset of global neuronal integration. Thus, many of the circuit elements necessary for consciousness are in place by the third trimester. By this time, preterm infants can survive outside the womb under proper medical care.

> Not sure what political dynamics led Israel to leave abortion “illegal” but also add multiple redundant layers of extremely broad exceptions. Maybe the country has other priorities.

Those would be the political dynamics of pretending to be conservative while actually being liberal in order to jerk off both sides at once. Being paternalistic/nanny state gives the illusion of control, whereas "anyone can get an abortion anytime for any reason" sounds like immoral anarchy. When in reality half the abortions are illegal anyway, because unnecessary controls create more bugs.
I can't quote you law but my understanding is that first sale doctrine applies to physical things. So virtually lending a corresponding digital copy to a physical book seems a creative application of first sale doctrine--which may or may not be strictly legal but apparently the publishers weren't interested in pushing that.

I really hope the adventure playgrounds mentioned are still a thing.

The ones in Germany were a bit more organized than just a pile of junk, but you basically went there, maybe parents paid some (nominal) fee or deposit, and you got a toolbox with basic hand tools like a saw, hammer and nails and there was plenty of wood to build with.

Larger structures were clearly built with some guidance and probably a civil engineer because there were multi-story buildings.

The legality should interest you. I saw someone have their small business shut down by police because they were running it out of their basement. It wasn't the noise or pollution (which realistically are the nuisances you're going to be inflicting on neighbors) but the excess cars parked and delivery trucks coming and going down the street. One neighbor ratted them out.

The problem with the space isn't really the capital but noise abatement, waste disposal, and inventory. The ideal product would be quiet to make, not use tough chemicals to dispose, and materials you can buy in bulk and small enough not to take up a ton of space in the worksite.
Made me laugh right out loud, seeing that, and then your comment. Thanks man.
Most people value human life over animal life. Also, I'd guess vegans might advocate making it illegal to kill animals for food (I don't interact with many, so I'm spitballing). The only reason they wouldn't is because it's so far outside the Overton window that it seems like fantasy.
I would call a zygote a human life. A zygote has a critical feature that no other cell has: if you don't kill it, it will someday love and suffer and have opinions and work and play and seek the meaning of life.

Humans are rarely fully human at any given moment. They sleep, during which they lose the critical characteristic of consciousness. They go insane, during which they lose the critical characteristic of intelligence or reason. They suffer the frailties of youth, during which they are dumber and weaker than many animals. They suffer the frailties of age, during which the same is true. They suffer injury and disability. They suffer under privation and oppression and abuse and fail to develop as they should. None of these things prevent them from being human.

The eugenecists of the early 20th century were scientists. They didn't say the negro was subhuman out of sheer bigotry; they tested the hypothesis. They gave IQ tests and the results were clear -- but they were testing victims of abuse and privation. Were they right to look at the man as he was, at that moment?

They were not. The true understanding of the value of a human being transcends the current circumstance and looks at the whole of life and the whole of potential. It respects what happened in the past and what will happen tomorrow. It respects what could happen with healing, or in a generation.

Sperm are cells. They do cell things. But that zygote - if you protect it - is a creature that will some day write essays. That's why it's human. That's the difference.
Yeah, as a Brit, the absence of abortion as a mother's right is ... just wrong.

But, as a Brit, I'm used to being disappointed in American "healthcare".
A few thousand or even a few hundred a year would not be the same as nonexistent, even if it represents a small percentage of some other number.
Unless the act of drinking water was this hyper-politicized thing that required basically splitting the atom to try to please all your electoral interests.

And so the end result is a law which negates itself, which might well have been the entire point? I have no idea if the drafters of the law actually intended it to nullify itself.
Hey sorry the post wasn’t more well written!

I tried to cover all the basic or obvious approaches (counter, assoc table) so that people could see the complexity kind of ramp up.

You’re right that an assoc table is a very workable solution, along with the partitioning capabilities of postgres these days.

Of course, some legislation could ban abortions while make exceptions for 10-year-old rape victims or other extreme cases. There's a lot of middle ground between banning all abortions and allowing all abortions. We don't need to legislate according to extremes.

How to Take Criticism Well
The article talks about the difference between legality and access but doesn't mention two key differences between the US and European countries. The first is funding. Healthcare in America is expensive to begin with, and there are no federal subsidies for abortions allowed (e.g. via Medicaid) due to the Hyde Amendment. The second is that even before the Dobbs decision Republican-controlled states in the US went to great lengths to harass clinics and abortion-seekers by imposing extreme and medically-unnecessary requirements for things like the size of the clinic building, mandatory waiting periods, and forced transvaginal ultrasounds. On top of that, clinics that provide abortion are usually surrounded by a crowd of screaming anti-abortion activists who yell at patients and providers. To my understanding, that sort of stuff doesn't generally happen in most European countries. I suspect their sex ed classes and contraceptive access are much better than ours, too.

There's also a long history of stochastic terrorism toward doctors who perform abortions, but I don't know how European countries compare on that front.

In a sense, the refusal of most of American media to even give airtime to the discussion of when a fetus should gain rights/protections is why such extreme measures are being on the table. They painted this as a binary issue with no nuance or even discussion as regards the status of an unborn fetus so the reaction has been similarly binary with total lack of nuance.

The US is a ‘healthy, functioning democracy?’ It’s currently debating whether there was a coup attempt.
From a purely statistical perspective, might 100 accounts a day be sufficient? For a quarterly estimate, 9000 samples (assuming the 100 samples are accumulated) seems like it can give fairly tight error bars - if you have 90 samples with a sample mean of 5 and a sample standard deviation of 2 (no idea what the standard deviation is, so consider that a placeholder), then the 99% confidence interval is [4.46, 5.54] according to this website [0]. Not the most precise boundaries, but perhaps good enough for investors.

Granted, it's been a while since I've done stats, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were an inaccurate application, but if it's accurate 100 samples a day doesn't sound that crazy.

> even if someone was born of rape or incest, we don’t discuss killing them at 1yr old

You are correct in this quote. But to a lot of people, there is a fundamental difference in the moral consideration due to (e.g.) a 15 week old fetus and a 1 year old child. You may disagree with that, but that is where you have to make your argument.

Just saying "well, you won't let parents kill their toddlers, so... checkmate!" is really not doing any work for you, and just makes it look like you're not engaging. I guess that's par for the course for this debate now... but since it's back on the legislature, let's start trying to figure out how to engage with one another.

How about this: Let's say you are god-king, and everyone seeking an abortion has to petition you for one. Can you construct any scenario at all (no matter how outlandish) where your decision would change if the pregnancy was the result of a rape?
Brilliant! I submitted my app.

I joined an organization a couple of years ago who were already deeply in the Azure ecosystem. At some point we needed an instance with high disk performance and Azure basically told us to piss off.

I disagree that there is not going to be violence over the most recent SC decision. There are now places where women are going to die as a result. Those places are generally the 'red' states where lots of people have lots of guns. Guns and insufferable grief are not a great mix.

Yes, the world has nuance. There aren't good guys and bad guys, everyone is mostly in it for themselves. It's all a big, ever-changing war for resources, all the way up from bacteria to us who think we're somehow above it all. Everyone is allowed their opinion, and nobody has to agree with it.

It isn't a conspiracy that rich people control the media - this was a big part of people's initial objection to his purchase of Twitter, wasn't it? Why would it be in any way controversial that other rich people don't like him and are trying to undercut him? Isn't this even what you're doing, on a small scale?

I absolutely understand people don't like him - I don't particularly like him easier, but I am impressed by the things he's managed to achieve. I don't need to like him as a person to recognize that he's done impressive things.

Given that the largest global pro life organization, the Catholic church, engaged in pointed efforts to outreach prisoners, immigrants, the ill, widows and orphans, this criticism falls flat.

In fact, I'd venture the church spends more money on these things individually than abortion prevention.

Somehow I just visualized the job market as analogous to the romantic dating pool for people past say 35.

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others?
It also seems like a distraction. The real argument seems to be around when does it make sense to end another life. For example, we don’t tend to believe that it never makes sense.
Is there a jury here? It's copyright, not a murder.
This is my experience as well. And it is critical to maintain a separation between "I personally would not prefer my unborn child be aborted" and "nobody should be allowed to abort a child anywhere because abortion is equivalent to murder in all cases." You've gotta be comfortable holding both those thoughts in your head and realizing that your beliefs don't generalize to everyone.

Judaism is littered with nuances and complexities that make it very different from other religious traditions that predominate in the US, for instance.

Unfortunately roe v Wade made such a reasonable compromise impossible.

Now that it's overturned, we will likely see the us engage in more compromise which will make this less of a divisive issue.
>"Pretty ironic for a party that loves to claim they’re all about personal freedoms and small government."

This kind of sentiment is overly reductive and misses the point. No proponent of small government wants a government so ineffective that it cannot have laws against murder. I personally don't believe abortion is murder, but many people do, and they're not so libertarian as to "live and let live" on such a topic. I wanted to chime in because I really dislike the fallacy of 'you claim to like personal freedom and small government, but you want the government to enforce laws you support? Curious...'

I don't have a blog, but your first paragraph resonated with my recent experience.

Recently I got invited to an invite only event. Small online setting with people from some very interesting companies. It's summer,so fewer than expected showed up, but it was fine. So we start talking with the host expected to take a lead on the whole thing. Turns out that I knew way more than others. People started asking for contac details,tell stories how I did x,y,z. What I assume as basic knowledge is chargeable consulting hours to to others. Sharing that kind of knowledge in writing would only help my case.

> immediate political debate in the U.S. isn't about zygotes

It's not just debate – it's already in law. Oklahoma HB4327[0], signed into law in May, outlaws abortions on "a human fetus or embryo in any stage of gestation from fertilization until birth." (It explicitly permits contraception, Plan B, etc)

The National Right to Life Committee, the largest and most important anti-abortion group in the US, has created a model law that likewise classifies an "unborn child" to mean:

> a living individual organism of the species homo sapiens throughout all stages of the unborn child’s development within a pregnant woman’s uterus from fertilization until birth

You fell for hustle culture. Get a real job, build some real skills.
Well, yes, the majority of people are disgusted by the idea of a 10-year-old girl is being forced to carry a pregnancy (the fact that she was trapped makes it all the more monstrous). That the NRL is of a different opinion only shows that they are an extremist organization, way out on the fringes.

Even in this extreme case though, if said 10-year-old victim were 1 hour away from being able to give birth, I don't think it would make sense to allow an abortion (though of course a C-section can be performed at any time). So clearly there is some line, even for the most extreme cases.
