> How is this allowed in light of the interstate commerce clause?

It's complicated.

Obviously a website cannot simply proclaim to only facilitate the dissemination of information to people exclusively in one state, or to exclude people in another. There is practically no concept of mutual exclusivity or mutual inclusivity on the internet, so then it's abjectly "interstate" or even "international". But it's not that simple.

The commerce clause tends to apply to federal laws, of things that transit state or territorial lines. Just because something could transit a state line, does not mean the all things in all states are automatically under federal regulation, or that federal regulation has supremacy. Obviously certain things are legal in one state but not in others, and things might be legal or illegal at a federal level regardless of interstate commerce.

The question is, is free speech subject to interstate commerce? What about commercial speech (which is afforded less 1st amendment protections)? Since we are talking about free speech, commercial or otherwise, does the idea of commerce clauses even apply? According to Heller case, and recently reaffirmed by the NY v Bruen case, when dealing with civil liberties the courts must apply strict scrutiny.

So it might boil down to a simple 1st amendment case without any commerce clause mental gymnastics.
No doubt they can be useful. Unfortunately, I don't have as much confidence as you in our health officials. It seems to resort to the lowest common denominator in recommending treatments. Psychotherapy is complex and it's hard to find a "good" counselor without multiple appointments to find one. It is highly personal treatment that is under the control of a highly unpersonal bureaucracy.
Definitely a better choice than paracetamol, which is metabolized by the liver...
Laws should be made based on reason, justice, and after due consideration and we'll reasoned discussion not empathy, emotion, or crises of the moment. Doing that will only lead to poorly conceived and implemented laws that fail at their purpose and give power to demogauges and the power hungry.
You might have a point if the OP was the only one claiming this.

He isn't, and you don't.
Conversely, should every movement be painted with the brush of their best people?

This is a bit... difficult to take seriously. They are being painted by the general actions at large that they are causing. If you want them to be seen in their best light, try to get their best light into the spotlight.

The meme to speak about speaking in memes would be to mention: Star Trek, the Darmok episode. Temba, his arms wide.
There is speech that is not considered protected by the first amendment. I suspect the states would argue the promotion of committing unlawful acts to be unprotected speech.

Where this would fall afoul is likely interstate commerce. South Carolina can't declare a website hosted in California illegal due to jurisdiction. They might be able to convince ISPs to block them, though.
Is this really true? I can imagine a vector, [1,1,1] in cartesian space. Scale that vector by c and you are now going light speed in all three spatial dimensions.
There is a lot the US could be doing to make roads psychologically harder to speed on. Narrow, winding roads, for instance, make people uncomfortable with speeding. Other countries use this for traffic calming. The NTSB does advocate for design that prioritizes traffic calming.
It's not that much of a problem. Wind in the sea is quite predictable (and in certain areas near constant) and turbines can be geared down.

Combined paracetamol and ibuprofen is king Ive found and they both work well together and dont seem dangerous. If you follow the dosage. Combine with Caffeine too.

I agree quite a bit with

> I think "psychological resilience" means essentially the brain's ability to maintain its own internal state independent of reality -- in more practical terms, the brain can remain confident of its own ability to operate in reality, even as reality throws curveballs and does all kinds of wacky stuff

In particular, I think one of the big differences between depressive people and non-depressive people is whether their upbringing/community/learned value system is one that is "sturdy" ie resilient to damage.

A socially vulnerable person who has never had a strong foundation for their social legitimacy goes into every social interaction looking for evidence of being accepted. A person who has grown up with their acceptance never in doubt doesn't need anything from each new interaction. So the former person is susceptible to trauma from every interaction, whereas it would take the latter person a long time be worn down by negative responses to the point where it would affect them psychologically.

I suspect that the mechanism by which modern life causes such an epidemic of depression is that people grow up less integrated into communities and family units that provide this stability-of-identity by the time they get to adulthood. If you reach adolescence with no model of what a legitimate person looks like or how to be one, it makes sense that you will flounder, and being a social being that craves acceptance by society, you can end up obsessively trying to find that legitimacy in every interaction.

(Another mechanism for this is when someone grows up with an abusive or otherwise psychologically damaging home life, such as never being validated by their parents and always criticized -- so even if they are by all metrics very good at life or very good at socializing, they're programmed to never perceive themselves as good enough, so they never get to that state of imperviousness to slightly-negative reality.)
And Germany will be using the gas to heat Ukrainian soldiers in training. So what?

The situation is a mess, and painting Russia and russians as having no interest but war, does not make it less messy.
No, there is nothing saying that just because you believe government is necessary that one must consider the government wholly, uncritically sufficient.
Yes, my heuristic for ibuprofen vs. acetaminophen is whether there is swelling involved. Ibuprofen helped me a bit to manage a sore, swollen throat due to COVID. (But the corticoids I was prescribed are what really did the trick.)

Another furniture anecdote:

In late 2020, we purchased our couch for $400. By early 2021 the price had risen to ~$500, and it was completely out of stock. Now the price is $800 and it's regularly out of stock for months at a time.

Ask HN: Remote work credit? I built an app that the company thinks my boss built
So long story short, I was in Bali just before COVID and decided to stick around...for 3 years. After freelancing as a designer/developer for nearly a decade I decided to look for a remote job - cuz why the fuck not everyone was hiring remote. I applied and got a job posted for 'hybrid' work - took 2 months to convince them I would do the work and come back in the summer (traditional finance company not used to remote ).

Over the past 3 months, I solo built an entire application from scratch that was presented to the Board 3 times which my boss says they're all ecstatic about. He mentioned the head of the project doesn't know I exist - thinks my boss made the entire thing. CEO, President, etc. all know about the project and are excited about 'my bosses project'. Basically the head of the project passed on sketches and screenshots of excel sheets which my boss would give me one sentence of what to build, no design. Usually, I don't give a fuck but it's different as a freelancer working directly with clients - definitely stings the ego thinking I was part of the company and having put in all the effort. Have I been freelancing so long I just forgot that's how office work hierarchy goes? Kinda makes me wanna say and go back to freelancing.

I'm moving back to NJ to be 'hybrid' beginning of August...Do I mention to the head of the project the first time I meet him that I built the entire app or just let my boss have his glory and mention I'm on the team that helped build it? Don't want bad blood with the boss as he's a nice guy and gives me freedom, but don't mind if I need to find another job as I'm not stoked on this company and I'm financially stable.

I guess more generally...do more people in remote companies also feel not being acknowledged for their work?
Ask HN: Any name/metaphor for this particular kind of entropy / tech debt?
One thing I have seen over and over again in many organizations is that a new product is designed and implemented from scratch, using a fairly logical and sensible structure / architecture.

For example, maybe there is a frontend that connects to three separate backend servers, A, B, and C, which all handle some different, self-contained logical thing. Or maybe things are divided into key classes A, B and C, each of which encapsulates a self-contained piece of functionality. It's possible for A or B to fail without affecting C. If B crashes, you know it is due to a problem with some particular feature. It's all quite sensible and easy to reason about.

Then, later, after go-live... a new, unrelated major feature D is added. Instead of creating a new backend server or class to implement D, it is shoe-horned into the existing A/B/C backend server or classes or whatever. And then feature, E, feature F, etc... all shoehorned into whatever the original architecture / components were, instead of adding dedicated new components for D and E and F, just like happened for A/B/C.

Obviously, over time, this just leads to a big mess. Not only do you not end up with a dedicated, self-contained implementation for D, you also destroy the dedicated, self-contained components you originally had for A/B/C in the process, and after a bit of time it turns into a big unstructured mess.

I always find this kind of bizarre, because often the original structure is pretty sensible, and all that's required is to continue applying the same reasoning and techniques to new features as was applied to the original ones.

Sometimes there are administrative disincentives that encourage this, like requiring some onerous approval for a "new" server / class / source file, but a lightweight process for a "change" to an existing thing... but for the most part it just seems to be odd that people can't apply more of what's already in front of them, instead of destroying it.

In a way he’s like Weird Al - technically Al is a parody artist but he had an excellent mastery of many, many styles of music.

Similarly Pratchett is technically a fantasy author but some of his books are actually crime/detective novels, sci-fi, even romance.

Many people who say “I only read fantasy” are quite surprised when you point out many of the Guard books are just straight detective stories; similar to how many people are shocked to realize that Blues Brothers, is at heart, a musical.
I don't pretend to know what is best for everyone nor dictate my morals to them. So if SC thinks they should have a law to do whatever, that's their business. If the people living there don't like it, they should work to change the law, or start lynching politicians, whichever is easier, that's for the people of SC to decide.

As for the people not in South Carolina, they should work to pass an amendment or secede from the union, those are the only legal options if you believe in how the federal government is supposed to work (maybe there's a 3rd option to kick out SC?).

I'm a very casual gamer, but I do spend a non trivial amount of time on phone games and for me I share in two ways :
1. Once or maybe twice on social media or group chat when a game goes viral, ie. pasting wordle results 2 or 3 times before completely forgetting the game ever existed
2. Playing the game in front of people I know and them realizing I'm ignoring them because of Bloonz or Two Dots.

I will be sharing your game via the second method immediately, this is exactly what I want in a casual game.

Maybe to make the game more shareable in a viral way, do some kind of data driven way to set up blocks, like the tiles are based on happy news stories pictures instead of colors, with a link and the headline under the selection for each item and you accidentally read six headlines a day, while getting to play a fun puzzle? Not a game designer here, but that seems pretty fun in my head.
Currently refreshing some of my programming knowledge. Also reviewing my math skills. I tend to do each of these things periodically to refresh some of the knowledge I might not use so much anymore. Currently thinking of some side projects to work on as well.

In Julia, this is implemented with the number type of TaylorSeries.jl https://github.com/JuliaDiff/TaylorSeries.jl and captured in the integration package TaylorIntegration.jl https://github.com/PerezHz/TaylorIntegration.jl which is then available in the DifferentialEquations.jl common interface:

https://docs.sciml.ai/dev/modules/DiffEqDocs/solvers/ode_sol...

The implementation described here is missing a lot of the optimizations that TaylorIntegration.jl employs (it makes the method no longer simple), but after doing some of the extra stuff you can find that Taylor integration methods can be good if you need really high accuracy. Some examples of this are seen in some of the SciMLBenchmarks, particularly https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/DynamicalODE/Henon-Heiles_e... and https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/DynamicalODE/Quadrupole_bos... .

One of the nice things about Taylor integration methods is that they can be used to build interval solutions of ODEs which guarantee the solution. That's described in some detail in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1h7BUW04NI .
Yeah, this energy crisis started during the cold war when we thought that trading with the Soviet Union would prevent war (maybe it has?).

Niantic is too afraid to move fast and break things, as a famous robot once put it. They started with an interactive game that included location based chat and ultimately even made way for the ability to track players actions on an intel map. They then immediately became afraid of the implications of their own creation and have spent the last 10 years backtracking. Pokemon Go never had a chat. They imposed all manner of restrictions to try to stop people from playing while driving, and, in doing so, also basically hobbled players who use bicycles (because of speed constraints). Harry Potter...well, they handed far too much control to WB, who didn't know the first thing about this sort of game design, and got left with a mess nobody wanted to play. And then there's Pikmin, which I frankly was excited for when I heard it announced, as the console games were a pretty neat concept that I didn't think got nearly the attention they deserved. There's almost no game whatsoever. Next to ZERO interaction with other players (fine...you can see flowers they plant). It's a glorified pedometer app.

I'm not sure if it's an overly cautious legal team they're dealing with or what, but someone should remind John Hanke that start ups don't break through by playing it safe. And to boot, casual players aren't the ones that dump money into games. Maybe they need to add age verification in to satisfy the lawyers before making a game that's actually fun to play, but this backing away from doing what they're in the business of doing is sad to watch and frankly pretty pathetic.

>... I have a feeling the whole conversation would be a lot different if that's all we were discussing and having to take responsibility for our decisions wasn't part of the discussion.

I need to make sure that you understand that many organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, make education around contraceptives and the magnitude of one's sexual decisions a part of their program, right? These are conversations people want to be having with others, concepts people want to be teaching to kids or adults before they fuck up, but you'll find that many of the states that outlaw (or want to) abortion also prevent proper sex ed curriculum from being taught in the classroom.
Good feedback - contract work on the platform was super heavy in the beginning. Been lighter as of late, but does tend to ebb and flow a bit. Anticipate we start seeing more contracts coming through esp in the a potential recession where companies may not have the certainty to hire FTE, but still need work done. They tend to contract to fill that void in the interim.

I never said laws should be based on empathy. I just said that OP had no empathy in order to make the point that taking an aloof legalist stance is stupid when it has actual real world negative impacts on others that they were incapable of considering.

My second paragraph expands upon the reason and justice aspect.

Also the current constitutional crisis we are in demolishes the legalist justification anyways. States being able to ban travel to other states for abortion, states allowing private citizens to sue others for getting abortions in other states. States limiting access to websites that are legal in other states and limiting the first amendment.

Because repealing Roe was done on an ideological basis it has caused a cascade of problems around how much power states should have, one that has been largely settled since the Civil War.

It can be tricky to communicate "here is a boundary that absolutely cannot be crossed, but keep in mind you should be nowhere near that boundary anyway" without it impacting peoples personal optimization strategies.

Fair point - I spoke incorrectly. I should have said "critics", not "cynics."
it was generally accepted that not honoring your ransoms was a poor choice for two reasons:

1) Word could get around and your 'customers' would stop paying the ransom. Bad for business since the remains of a destroyed ship could be worth substantially less than the ransom.

2) More alarmingly, you could attract the ire of 'honorable' pirates who might just be willing to take time out of their day to make an example out of you. This would likely involve a plurality of suitably armed starships visiting your local space at ...inopportune times.
