And the US has far less restrictions a couple months ago. But what does either matter to people living in the present?
The more likely speed bump you might face is if you post something and it rubs your co-workers the wrong way or in some way makes your employer think there is a conflict of interest. It really depends on what the content of the blog is.
I hadn't considered this angle, and would love to be wrong, but haven't digital books been exempt from first sale doctrine for quite some time now? I thought this case law was well established.
Since this is a US dominant site, an important point to realize is that Americans have never had a real SIM card experience like the rest of the world has.

1) Until LTE, the US had 50% CDMA and 50% GSM networks, with the former not even supporting SIM cards.
2) The US has always had a miserable carrier locked cell phone experience, unlike most of the RoW where buying unlocked phones was the norm.

The combination of the above meant that Americans have never experienced the brilliance of being able to switch SIM cards easily (or have multiple SIM cards), whether to keep different phone numbers/accounts, travel abroad, use a temporary phone, have phones lying around for visitors to use, keeping backup phones, etc.

Also, SIM cards made hacking around with cell phones super easy. MS had an embedded Windows OS that worked perfectly with SIM card readers that made it possible to do all sorts of cool stuff with SIM cards (I'm sure there were Linux equivalents but I wasn't as into Linux at the time).
Is Federalism Good for American Democracy?
It's not surprising, that's a pretty common caricature used to paint disability acts. The base root of what you're remembering is probably a short story by Kurt Vonnegut - "Harrison Bergeron"[1] which talks about an extremist approach to something beyond equality - sameness, everyone is forced to be the same. Equality and sameness are not the same, people can be treated equally and yet still allowed to retain their independence and diversity.

Who was "clinging on to the idea that well, the machines can't really play chess" and when was that?
My kids’ school has actually retained some elements of the junk playground. In the courtyard play area, there is a wealth of scrap wood that the kids use for building projects. When we did the tour before enrolling our kids, the older kids had just built a shed which I thought was appropriate because the school is based on John Dewey’s progressive education ideals, with his central example he returned to many times in his writings being, building a shed.

Amusingly, the director of the school, didn’t know this.
That's always up to you of course. But it's different compared to say Facebook that forces you to use your real identity, and will work against you if you want to remain anonymous.
In my case, that I don't think is extraordinary, I scan the titles in the RSS reader and click on them to go their fully rendered pages more often than not. That tacks some of the noted downsides. Content discoverability is no problem either. Content for me is web-first, but if provider exposes RSS, It gets more recurrence from me. User unfriendliness can be fought with browser extensions.

>I find it odd that people seem to be displeased by a statement of important facts

The article mentions this and goes into more details. I'm not sure what else your comment adds other than to be snarky and downplay the seriousness of the topic by using scare quotes.
> humans are pretty bad at creating intuitive designs

I've always assumed that is because so few people care about design who are in power of affecting design. This is partially because it takes effort to think about a problem, and it's much easier to not care, or assume someone else will fix it.
You say that but I am actively dealing with a chinese malware(public info) I won't name that does just that but with USB. It sideloads a dll when a shortcut opens a legit app on a USB (shortcut is tricky in that it looke like a folder and opens a folder also when you click on it) it then collecte all kinds of documents and exfils to the internet but if there is no internet it archives it back to the USB so next time it runs with internet access it will also exfil any docs on the USB from the airgapped machines, fortunately just a spillover infection for us but these tricks in the paper would enable to not wait for a USB or internet access, it would be more realtime. Like if it is an ICS system for nuclear centrifuges it will send back what ir found and accept destructive tasks.
You're polarizing the discussion on purpose. How about stopping that before pointing the fingers at downvoters?

The debate is more complex than "oh so you want deadbeat dads to get away with it". Men can get babytrapped by women too. Those cases are rare, but rare cases don't seem to be a problem when discussing the female side of the debate.

Maybe if the industry hadn't bribed the government over and over to extend copyright again and again we might not call it rent seeking. 12 years of copyright is almost reasonable. But current copyright durations are pure rent seeking.

This concisely describes how I felt about Sci-Hub the first few times I read about the project. There are some differences, e.g. the Internet Archive chooses to operate within US jurisdiction.
At the end of the day, leaning into RSS for me lead to me leaning away from these sorts of services that don't support RSS or make it difficult.
Maybe “disorder” is not the exact right word to use. Still, there should be a distinction in our words between “a regular, wanted pregnancy” and “a pregnancy which came as a consequence of a rape”, for example.

Apart from websub, which does require some resources, servers could provide long-polling such that the socket remains open, and give a reply as soon as there is one. Clients don't poll, servers aren't flooded (but do need to keep an open connection )
My point is that the policy in those countries intentionally does not try to define what exactly is "the broad case" (because, frankly, any definition will have its flaws in some unforeseen and unforeseeable cases) but instead devolves that decision to the doctors, so that every case can be treated as a "weird case" if and only if the doctors say so, because the policy in these societies is that they trust the doctors to make the proper ethical choice more than their ability to prescribe exact criteria in a legal act.

In essence, allowing these cases to exist at all means that the law acknowledges that it can't explicitly state in legislation beforehand which cases will need bespoke review and which will not; and that it in such cases the law does not prescribe the final decision but devolves it to the medical specialists who see the individual case.

An alternative that I've read about from recent events in USA with hospital lawyers being present in emergency room to make a decision when a certain intervention (deemed necessary by the doctors beforehand) becomes "permissible" seems literally incomprehensible and insane at least to me, as from all the people in that room they are the least appropriate, least qualified, and with least moral rights to make a decision about what should be done or not - if you don't trust these particular doctors with doing what's right, you shouldn't let them perform operations on people at all.

SVG stroke-dashoffsets have always confused me. I couldn't never figure out which way the line was going to move as I increased or decreased them. So I made some interactive examples to help.
The movement happened between 2016-2020. Maybe this movement was just Trump specifically became more popular among Latinos, or it's because the democrats are losing the Latino vote. I think they'll probably vote at least a Republican in 2022 and 2024 as they did in 2020.

When I think about why this is a political wedge issue, I think about how righteous people feel about their chosen point of view. I think about how that feeling of righteousness can drive people to vote and donate money.

I don't think that people are wrong to feel this sense of righteousness, but I do find it disgusting when politicians cynically exploit it.

I was raised in a Christian faith that condemns abortion as one of the most serious sins. I understand that point of view. I still feel it to some extent. What I no longer have is the feeling of certainty that personhood begins at conception. Even saying that "life" begins at conception is tenuous. Gametes (sperm and egg cells) are "alive" in that they carry out the same cellular functions that other living cells carry out. Is a zygote more alive than the gametes that came together to form it? If your faith leads you to believe that a zygote is a person, I won't tell you that you are wrong. I would ask that you consider if another person's sincerely held beliefs may be valid when they contradict this point of view.
Simply complex: water is one of the most remarkable substances in the universe
I see there is no possible candid discussion here.

BTW I used Windows 1.1 on a PC XT. At the time, my employer wanted to use computers to teach employees technical subjects (adult education). My employer was Direction Général des Télécoms (now Orange) and the department was DFPT (in Montpellier/France) (I am 65 yo).

When I saw what was needed to just program a window with a simple text I was horrified. In DOS just a few lines were enough, on Windows 1.1 it was several hundred of lines!

My company much later used software such as Macromedia to make computer based learning. It ran on (Dos based) Windows 3.11, I think (but I am not sure ) that is was DOS 4 or maybe 5.

This is a complex topic that I really enjoy an analysis being done on.

Effectively, the question is when does the state or society have the right to protect a human (whether that’s human fetus, embryo, baby, person). In addition what rights can be removed / protected from the mother. As the analysis points out it’s wildly different throughout the world and even in Europe and United States. The US Supreme Court ruled that prior US rulings overstepped and now it’s a 10th amendment and 4th amendment issue amongst the states - meaning it’ll become more diverse in the US.

To frame the US arguments differently — most people are uniformed about when a heart beat is detectable; when a fetus responds to pain, etc

As a general rule, when people are fully informed the consensus is “let’s avoid abortion, if we can”. The question is then, where is that line for “it’s too far”. Largely, and the article touches on this, that’s a hyper local issue.

Which personally, I don’t see an issue with, we’re typically all for self-governance. That implies freedom of movement, association, and defense. If people of an area choose a certain law so-be-it, just don’t impose your will on others. As long as you can move, if the issue is that troubling to you, associate differently or convince others to change the laws.

I view abortion much like the slavery issue historically in the US. The rights of the defenseless will ultimately be expanded. It used to be slaves had severely limited rights, but we saw the err in our ways. I believe we will do the same ultimately here, though it may take many years.

The alternative is setting an arbitrary line in the sand “birth” or “20 weeks”, it doesn’t make much sense. Why not “1yr old” or “12 weeks” they have much of the same traits. Barring harm to the mother (which ultimately is dangerous to baby), I see little argument to allow abortion in a logical sense. Morally, I think limiting medical intervention is wrong. And that is ultimately what it boils down to — what morally is correct to limit; which boils down to locale.
I read on HN an insightful rationalization of IA's heeding of requests to hide content: Making data unavailable without protest - while continuing to silently collect it - minimizes controversy and potential blocking or censorship, a short-term sacrifice for its mission of giving longevity to internet content.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21012643

In that context, NEL was quite a foolish thing to do.

But wait, that's not its mission - https://archive.org/about explains how IA's mission of 'Universal Access to All Knowledge' and status as a library entail 'paying special attention to books'. That'd be the rationale for NEL, then?
Something not mentioned here is http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/ This project is in java (ew) but it's open source and could probably use a rewrite in something more modern.
Thank you for this decomposition. Do you have any book recommendations that explain it in more depth?
That trend started the moment people started discarding content because of the date alone.
Personally, I'm thrilled to hear this. The Internet Archive has already made a choice to self censor material that they had previously made available. To be willing to censor some material, but playing "innocent" when it comes to being required to censor themselves in other ways is hypocritical at best.
China doesn't have to do anything on purpose. America and American's utter disregard for anything other than saving a couple pennies here and there mean every possible corner will be cut, without any purposeful planning or damaging intent.
Seeking to change a law by breaking it has worked before in American history, but only when the supreme court wants to change the law, and a carefully arranged test case is constructed to bring before them. Even then, test cases arranged by well-meaning groups have failed and instead strengthened the precedents they were expected to contribute to overturning.

Taking a copyright infringement case before one of the most textualist and conservative courts we have had in decades is not a good plan for people who want a right to whatever it is that the IA was doing read into the Constitution.

Which they've largely already enjoyed many times over. I have precisely zero sympathy for the poor widdle publishing corporations.
Sometimes, the name does all the heavy lifting. You just gotta figure out how to make the thing to fit the name.
We all end up paying in one way or another.

There's a lot of shortsightedness in thinking not paying for something now means you don't pay for it later in terms of the effects on society (higher crime, poor outcomes, etc.).
Even a faraday cage would be insufficient if I can get a powermeter into a power outlet on the same circuit. Or if we're talking about a datacenter, I just need a good electrical measurement device (Voltage, Amperage, Frequency, PF) on the cable outside.

I can, in this example, just have the computer use more power to signal a 1 and less power to signal a 0. For a DC I just ramp up the entire DC load. Do that over the span of a week or so to make it less noticable.
If you believe that your personal obligations take precedence over spending your free time on software relation extracurricular activities, are you really worthy of a job in this sector?
Yes.. but is it web scale?
What most people don't realize is that popular "creators" are not in the business of producing content. They are in fact marketers. Traditionally it has always been that content producers and advertisers have largely been separate. Network space was limited, so ads were expensive and content sacred. Youtube has created this unique economy of providing access to millions of cheap marketers to advertisers. Watch a random video, and you're likely to find out halfway through that the entire video was a cover for a sponsor. Watch a series of videos, and you're very likely consuming ads one after another. Youtube is one gigantic 24x7 infomercials channel.

So I started writing code for this back in 2017, and I discovered a lot of issues with the number input back in 2019 so I never revisited it. So I'm glad certain issues have been resolved, but there are still others.

ADOS, or recent African immigrant?
He got some say (except in cases of rape) during the initial kick-off event where the pregnancy began. After that, yeah, his part in equal or majority decision-making is complete. This is because the mother has a greater interest by virtue of the pregnancy occurring to their body and not the father's.

Now, if the fetus was developing in some sort of mechanical womb, sure, he'd still have an equal say.
It was created taking some lessons of Atom into account.

It does have a few minor advantages: multiple attachment support, more "branding" images support (author avatars, post "banners"), easier to build JSON than XML in most API backends these days. The one major advantage is that JSONFeed is easier to work with it in tandem with WebSub and other pubsub systems that assume messages are natively JSON, you can use the same JSONFeed item generating code for both pull (HTTP GET) and push (WebSub) scenarios.

Certainly even the main advantage isn't a huge reason to switch to JSONFeed if you've already got RSS/Atom feeds, but I believe the hope for JSONFeed was always that it would spark some sites/backends that don't want to support XML, don't have good XML libraries, or don't want to use their template languages to drive RSS/Atom feeds to be able to build something simpler instead resulting in more feeds overall than if things were just left to the XML-ish status quo. I don't know how successful it has been on that front, though, but I appreciate it exists for trying.

Doubtful, especially on a 3G/4G connection. You're not an average user if you're on a Gigabit connection running the latest CPU
Cost yes, but also inflexible cables, more space required for transducers, harder to have a bus where multiple devices access the same transmission medium, can't include power in the same connector etc.
You could give https://newsboat.org a try, it's a fork of Newsbeuter. I shared my Newsbeuter setup a long time ago here (https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/using-newsbeuter-to-read-y...) but have since moved on to https://miniflux.app and Reeder (iPad OS, iOS, Mac). They all support the Google Reader API so it makes using any client very easy.
They didn't ignore it, they are very familiar with the terms. What they can do depends on if the government ends up classifying them as a warez site or a library/archive. And, if they are a library/archive, if their actions can be considered part of the copyright exceptions.

The publishers lawyers will argue they are just a warez site, and use everything in their power to do such, jurisdiction, case law, confusing terms and obfuscation, etc.
It is interesting to me that you have income and outflow so tightly coupled that you think in terms of "N% of income".

I did that for several decades. These days I take pains to decouple income and outflow. That is: I judge the expenditure on its own merits, whether I need or want it by itself, without regard to what % of income it might be.

Think of it like a leaky bucket: my paycheck goes in the top, and I control how much leaks out the bottom. Of course, I am lucky enough to have that luxury. Many people (most Americans) don't have enough income to decouple outflow from it, and are forced to think in percentages of income.
It sounds like payments might be part of the larger concept of declarative programming (DP):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/129628/what-is-declarati...

Maybe TigerBeetle could be generalized to support any multi-step distributed process?

I've used DP for backend server work on AWS with Terraform and it gave me perhaps 100x leverage over what I would have been able to do manually. And I think I first heard about it from a friend who used it in Ansible in the 2010s.

Now I see everything through that lens and find most of the online tutorials at sites like https://www.raywenderlich.com to be somewhat tedious and perhaps too application-driven (as opposed to theory). Not to single them out - they're one of the best, along with https://laracasts.com for backend server concepts. But to really get to scalable solutions, DP is a must IMHO, because it raises attention from implementation details to repeatable processes, which frees the developer to work at a much higher level of abstraction.
