Not at all. I've seen clearly with my own eyes the image of one

what you can snoop through the walls.

Most of this is solved by having a simple metal (steel) PC case and

Legality is a big help for women. In a nod and wink, illegal but permitted regime women's health care is in danger of the political whims of law enforcement disrupting it.

Legality is not perfect protection against the misogynist brigade, but it is definitely a help.
It's amazing how much some YouTube creators are making, even for non-mainstream topics like binge eating (watching people overeat is a huge niche apparently), interviews (Lex Fridman and Deep White Underbelly) or even math and physics videos (let's face it...school does a poor job teaching these subjects, which can explain the interest online). Not just videos ads but also product placement such as VPNs. It's not uncommon for a 13-minute video to have 30 seconds of ads at the beginning, 15 seconds in the middle, and an outro ad. This is excluding any product placement in the video.
Your hyperbole is, of course, incorrect. The "US" has actually explicitly not taken an approach--that was the entire purpose of the Supreme Court's ruling. In fact, fifty states now individually take approaches, which currently represent quite a wide spectrum of beliefs. Some approaches are rooted in religious beliefs (aside: the United States' legal system is actually itself rooted in Christian beliefs and morals) and some are secular.

Why do you think the other body deserves death because of a mothers whims?

Do you see the point? The arguments aren’t framed properly. Have you done proofs in mathematical induction? You typically have n and then prove n+1.

Do that with this argument. If you’re okay with 10 week abortion; why not 11 week. You can keep going. Infants at birth are really no different than 1 day old. They have the same fundamental requirements.

I don’t care either way frankly, I just pointed out the logic lacking in the debate. The “line in the sand” approach is rather strange to me.
This is true, but omits the fact that several states have or are contemplating even more extreme measures - such as 6 weeks or earlier, or total bans.
Rob Pike's acme text editor for the Plan 9 operating system: http://acme.cat-v.org/

You'll need plan9port to run acme on Linux, though. But the core ideas are very simple and powerful (sam: everything is a huge string; acme: everything is a clickable file) and thus hopefully long-lasting.

I would also mention edbrowse, a line-oriented web browser initially for blind people. Maybe this is too far on the fringe, though. It does have a lot of depth (excellent scripting capabilities); it's an amazing project actually: http://edbrowse.org/

Not really, any mandated organ donation is always going be from dead donors. If you know of any forced donations from live donors in a democratic state, I'd be interested to know.
Donating an organ generally has lasting, long term consequences for the donor. Childbirth, on the other hand, typically results in none of those.
I’m taking a nap from blogging. I ran a high traffic blog about 5 years ago using Ghost and proxied through a CDN for super fast loading times for my visitors. For the brief window that blog existed, I learned a lot. I setup Ghost manually on a VPS and learned how to configure a server manually. One notable thing was getting cold called by a journalist asking if they could link to one of my posts and they asked me for a few other thoughts on the matter. That was the high point and I tore the whole thing down because the blog was expensive to run. I paid for analytics, bare metal VPS, CDN, and domain renewals. I plan to jump back into blogging though.

I bitch about stuff that resonates with most HN'ers and the comments here release pent up frustrations in engineering/design. Both the writing part and the reaction on HN is a fun activity. My favorite aspect is getting emails from people and making random friends on the interwebs. So it is worth it for me. My blog here if you want to check it out: https://neil.computer/. Through HN and the blog, I've made a couple of good friends that I talk to on almost daily basis.

I don't really see how the ongoing pandemic would change the results of the fair use 4 factors test. I think the moral arguments in favor of IA's unrestricted lending are much more compelling than the legal ones (ofc I'm not a copyright law expert so I could be totally wrong).

Part of being a good rebel is to choose your battles wisely :) I think IA does a good job at that when they distribute abandonware or public domain materials. Trying to share unlimited copies of Harry Potter seems much more quixotic.
Maybe I'm a hipster, but if I am recommended a video that's too popular by view count (say, 1M views or more), I don't want to watch it. Right click -> "Don't recommend channel" or "Not interested". I feel like the amount of gamesmanship and selling-out and wonky thumbnails and sponsorships you need to perform to attain that level of viewership is just not something I want to see. These aren't "real" people anymore.

My main page has steadily become more infected with popular content like this. On the other hand, the subscription page is too focused (doing exactly what it says on the tin with no unsubbed channels). I want some middle ground where I can see the stuff I've opted into and some budding creators in the same space.

I also realize this is negative feedback loop. If many people too are looking for "unpopular" videos, they become popular.
Not truly "unlimited digital copies" – just extra time-limited checkouts, as a temporary expansion of the prior 1:1 lending, and only while most of the country's libraries were closed. Those limits & circumstances are relevant to the motivation for the act, and the available legal defenses.
This question is unanswerable because nobody can define what is human and what is life. It's a spectrum. For any rule you can give that separates humanity from other animals, I can give an exception to that rule. Which is why intellectualizing the abortion argument from the point of "when does life begin" is pointless.

Instead we should serve to minimize harm, in which case legalizing abortion is the obvious choice, since criminalizing abortion has never decreased the number of abortions. It has only led to unsafe abortions and higher rates of infanticide.
"I hope that I can convince you, my reader, how important it is to understand driving as a social process."

Agreed. The alternative to long-term planning is often a feeling of aimlessness, chasing the next incremental improvement with no idea of what, if anything, will be achieved. Useful fictions can still be useful.
Explorabook is the best!! That big fresnel lens was the most amazing way to quickly start a fire! I mean not that I tried or anything :D Klutz made so many awesome books back then.

I mean if the stakes were high enough

If I told you that you could make 500 million dollars (after taxes) if you figured this out, suddenly you would be on top of this.

I find this incredibly hard to believe. Please link a study or studies that shows that children where the father dodged and refused to pay child support had worse outcomes than children where the father paid child support as ordered.
Which is where the thinking that lead to this lawsuit begins. Almost all those games are abandonware and or over 20 years old. Normal copyright should not apply there.
Can't find the story (I think it was on an Imgur post of a similar box), but in that one the sticker says "BEND ME NOW!" Reverse psychology.
This reasoning by analogy is at the heart of the error being made in the brain uploading debate. Of course a man can become a woman. A box of chips and plastic cannot become a human. That you think the two are equivalent because I am stating what the follow on consequences of that decision to accept the premise of chips and plastic being considered human is the absurdity I am trying to point out to you, but you don't get it. I am not arguing about the trans issue I am arguing about the mind uploading issue but you are conflating the two in your brain because you are reasoning by analogy.

I could have replaced uploaded person in the above with "my purely imaginary friends" and maybe you would get where I'm trying to go with this? I am trying to think of something more absurd than that, but I am out of ideas.

Like my purely imaginary friends should have the right to vote and thus I should get 10000 votes because I have 10000 imaginary friends and if you don't let me, you're an imaginophobe! My purely imaginary friends all have to go to the bathroom and thus the bathroom must remain empty for their privacy during the whole day while all 10,000 go to the bathroom!

You would tell me I am out of my mind and that's absurd, and you'd be right. My purely imaginary friends don't exist and have no rights you'd say. I of course would call you an imaginophobe and get you banned from social media. However, you might think that my purely imaginary friends are being discriminated in the same way that trans people are being discriminated against and thus it's a totally valid claim I have because you are reasoning by analogy. Gee, this sounds similar to that other argument I believe, so it must be true!

There is a point at which a concept is absurd and just because it analogizes with a previous civil rights battle does not mean that it's valid because the underlying premise is false. Just cause it's like the previous civil rights battle doesn't mean it's the same thing.
While the documentation of many open source Go libraries is definitely lacking, I find that the combination of types and links to readable source in the generated docs more than make up for it. While the documentation for Python libraries is often better, it is generally much harder to answer questions not answered by the docs yourself.
> I'm curious if there is significant difference between egress and ingress into air gaped systems.

I would expect so. I'm fairly certain there's a big difference between pulling fuzzy data out and figuring out what it means as opposed to trying to electromagnetically fling fuzzy data into a system that's not supposed to have information flung at it and having the system accept what you mean.
From that comment: "you should have the legal right to have an abortion (...) at any point during a pregnancy."
> that was pretty much a flash in the pan.

I’ll repurpose an older comment[1]. It was in response to “I doubt very much [JSON feeds] will catch on”.

> There’s little incentive for websites to change to JSON feeds when their RSS feeds are already implemented, working well, and generated automatically. But several good RSS readers added support for JSON feeds when the format was introduced and that’s all you need for it to be viable; it isn’t important if it “catches on” after that when the flexibility is there.

> JSON feeds were great for me because I generate my own feeds for personal consumption and can now do so with simpler code. I understand I’m in a minority—most people consume feeds and never create their own—but the larger point is JSON feeds may have already done their job: they exist and are supported if you need them.

> Those not comfortable with toxic language should pretend this is a religious text.

Not going to lie, I laughed a little. But you're right.
That's a pretty nice question. If that response was intended for a non-technical audience, I could said that the company was expecting it to be believed. But it was posted directly on HN, so I have no idea.
The claim is that viability is inconsequential to their argument, meaning a 32 week abortion is morally ok for them. Where did I misspeak?
It would not result in a double digit reduction. It would result in a tiny reduction. Please source it if you think residential compost would have a double digit impact. I honestly suspect it might be less than 1% of household emissions.
The thing is that (probably because they didn't want to force the issue), the publishers seem to have been OK with lending out digital copies so long as the archive had a corresponding physical copy. Which AFAIK is not clearly covered by first sale doctrine but there's an argument to be made.

OK, well enough.

But TIA then does something that clearly violates copyright. And the fig leaf that is "But COVID" really doesn't make a difference.

And, yes, copyright terms are too long etc. but I'd actually be willing to bet that most extra lending TIA did was for recent works.
My main problem with Azure is all the artificial restrictions they have between 'SKUs'. In GCP and AWS you can, for the most part, mix and match components. AWS announces a new EBS volume type, you can be pretty much assured it will work with any instance type there is. Maybe some are more optimized than others, but if you want to attach them, they will work.

Not so much on Azure. Need to match your 'premium' instance with your 'premium' storage. And even when you use the correct SKUs(and correct instance types and whatnot), there are many limitations. For example:

"Premium SSD v2 limitations

Premium SSD v2 disks can't be used as an OS disk.
Currently, Premium SSD v2 disks can only be attached to zonal VMs.
Currently, Premium SSD v2 disks can't be attached to VMs in virtual machine scale sets.
Currently, taking snapshots aren't supported, and you can't create a Premium SSD v2 from the snapshot of another disk type.
Currently, Premium SSD v2 disks can't be attached to VMs with encryption at host enabled.
Currently, Premium SSD v2 disks can't be attached to VMs in Availability Sets.
Azure Disk Encryption isn't supported for VMs with Premium SSD v2 disks.
Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery aren't supported for VMs with Premium SSD v2 disks.

"

AWS has very few artificial limitations. New disk type launched? Want to use as part of an Auto-Scaling group? Knock yourself out. Want that as a boot disk? Sure. Encryption? Available.

And that's only an example on the storage side. Compute, storage and networking are the bread and butter, and one of the very first services you would expect in the cloud today - before all the abstractions are added on top.

Many of those limitations are not very well documented. You end up learning about then when your Terraform code runs (assuming Azure APIs didn't throw cryptic 400 errors).

Then there's all the hidden surprises. I'm pretty much used to attaching a load balancer (any type) to any instance with no issues whatsoever – on AWS. Imagine my surprise when I added a private load balancer to an Azure instance and it lost internet connectivity! I understand all the SNAT B.S. now, but it feels like a very thin layer over a network appliance. And not what you expect in the cloud.

Maybe the more specialized Azure services (Active Directory, AKS) are a better value proposition. But compute, networking and storage? Go AWS or, even better, GCP. GCP will give you seamless VM migrations(none of this scheduled maintenance stuff), easy access to anycast load balancers. AWS will give you a myriad instance types and storage options, and decent networking. All of them except Azure will give you multiple availability zones everywhere.
Thanks for explaining this!

So which is more likely, Germans adding proper whitespace in their written language, or Germans codifying legal abortion before 12 weeks?

Tooling aside, Python is a more powerful language, so I’m wondering whether he started generating code to work around stuff like try/except and defaultdict and itertools and decorators.

What makes you human to me is your brain. That's why I feel no compunction about killing a fly, regret about killing a dog, and think it is wrong to commit murder.

So if I suffer an accident and suffer brain death, pull the plug. Appearances notwithstanding, I would no longer be meaningfully human.

Conversely a zygote with no brain is less to me than a fly. A fetus with pain reflexes but no higher thought is less to me than a dog. And even a newborn baby is not fully human. Lots of potential is there, but not yet reality.

"This law I broke shouldn't exist" is the basis of civil disobedience and is how many of the freedoms we enjoy were won and the oppressive laws of recent history were struck down.

It may or may not succeed in courts, because our "justice" system is anything but. Even if it doesn't succeed in court, it's still a worthwhile stance and it may succeed in other ways. Especially if enough people who recognize where justice actually lies stand up to support those taking the risk to point it out.

The line between "rent seeking" and "return on investment" lies at the spot past which those who produced a work have been fairly compensated for their time and effort, past that, it's rent seeking. If you want a good metric, break the return down to an hourly wage for each participant in producing the work. Does it seem obscene? That's because it is.
The position they overturned was that the freedom was guaranteed by the 14th amendment of the US Constitution, which was passed by Congress.

The entire framing of this (esp. re "unbundling") is pretty gross. Unbundling is associated with disintermediation. What Spotify is doing is the opposite.

You have missed the essential argument: The claim is that "someone ELSE's life begins at conception". Obviously all cells are alive, but they are your own until they become a new human being. Once that new human being is created, it's no longer your decision to make. At least, that's the moral argument being proposed.

No, I have no insight into their lives or experiences to presume I'm living life the correct way and they are not, nor to further presume to correct them.

Also comparing the belief in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy with religious beliefs isn't a very good comparison. The former was created by corporations to hock goods, the latter has kept societies together for several millennia.

If history has taught us anything, presuming to tell people how they should or shouldn't worship never ends well.
I have an iphone that supports one eSIM and one physical SIM. Currently using it on a US network with a physical SIM.

So what's the tradeoff with traveling: should I move the US carrier to eSIM and buy physical nanoSIMs in destination countries or the opposite (keep "home" carrier on physical and buy eSIMs when traveling).

My use case is to have a local number for things like restaurant reservations and other "someone local may need to call me" needs, using WiFi in India, etc while keeping my "home" number active for whatsapp/iMessage etc purposes.
