> I call the position that abortion is forbidden because the foetus is a person and therefore abortion is akin to murder absolutist.

I know. It just has no relation to the actual meaning of absolutist.

> The portion of the population living under an abortion ban of under 10-12 weeks is around 5% in Europe (due to Poland) and closer to 15% in the US. These Americans live under legal restrictions that are otherwise almost entirely confined to Africa, South America, and Poland:

The geographically European portion of Russia alone accounts for around 15% of the continent's people, and Russia draws the line at 12 weeks. The next-most populous country, Germany, accounting for around another 10%, has not legalized abortion whatsoever, except in extenuating circumstances. Italy, accounting for another 8%, also draws the line at 12 weeks. If we play with the arbitrary 12-week line you've drawn, and raise it to, say, 14, we pull in France, Spain, and others.

> It is certainly not. A foetus is a living thing, but so is lettuce; or a tumour. Biology has no view on when the foetus becomes a person, i.e. a being with the same moral value as that of an actual live human. That is purely a question of spiritual faith.

This is kind of an interesting line of thinking. It stands to reason, then, that if we're talking about western countries nurtured by Platonic, Aristotelian, and Christian philosophical and religious traditions, it makes sense to preserve the notion of life that follows from them, the one that you're arguing against for some reason.

Pain is irrelevant to the question of humanity.

> Again, prohibitive does not mean forbidden because it is murder. Islam forbids consuming alcohol and Judaism forbids tattoos or lighting a fire on Saturday -- to a stronger degree than they forbid abortion, BTW -- but they don't forbid these things, or abortion, because they are the same as or similar to murder.

The Malikis, for instance, believe that a fetus is ensouled at the moment of conception. What's more, I think it's hard to make the argument that most peoples consider a fetus as something totally unrelated to human life. Maybe an inferior or developing case, but still worthy of respect, which is what I've seen more often than the laissez-faire attitude towards them that you ascribe to Judaism (which I am ignorant on, so I won't speak there). Is it possible that you're projecting your own cultural background on to others?

> There certainly is. It is primarily Christianity that forbids abortion because of the belief that the foetus is a person at or close to conception. It's because of that the the issue takes on a particular vehemence where Christianity is popular.

Again, three of the four biggest religions, together accounting for a simple majority of the global population, are in agreement. Additionally, another 15% or are irreligious, the majority of whom are likely from a cultural background founded on those religions.

And what of sincere difference of opinion which rubs up on the rules?
Someone has to be the losing party.
Example being a normie (with default hetro perspective of sex/gender Men Women) vs the progressive perspective on infinite sex/gender fluidity.
I can guess who would lose out.
Brains are so weird. I too have sleep related epilepsy. My seizures are always right on the edge of falling asleep or waking. As in, I know the exact moment I start to fall asleep or wake because the seizure starts with a snap (literally).
Without medication it's 100% of the time. These days they call my type of seizures 'focal aware', but it can generalize to a full blown tonic clonic.

Taking naps are impossible unless I pre-medicate myself, otherwise I'm going to have a seizure.

It turns out the process of sleep is really complex. Lots of chemical and electrical things are happening, and it just happens to trigger some of my (TBI) damaged brain cells. Someday maybe we'll be able to map which specific neurons are damaged by how they are triggered in various forms of epilepsy.

as long as we are talking about security cameras, i have a related question.

i have a bunch of power-over-ethernet cameras installed in my home. all the ethernet cables route back to a server box, which has a hard drive for saving the video for about a week. it also has a mobile app that lets me view the feeds in realtime. so far, so good.

now, what can i do to also route the video footage to, say, AWS or some other cloud storage option, and have it deleted after a week or so, the same as my camera hub server currently does?

i figure this will require me to buy a new server hub box, and that is fine with me. the one i have now is adequate, at best. i'd rather have a better one.
You just can't understand people on a snap judgment, there are too many outliers.

Not so long ago, I would have certainly agreed with you until I met this one girl.

So we started dating and, a couple months in, sometimes, as a joke, I use to say to her: "the first time I saw you, blablabla beautiful blablabla a star in the sky blablabla". I did that not only once but many many times. And every time, every time, she would have the exact same answer. She would say: "the first time I saw you, I thought 'oh bof'" (meaning she thought I was mediocre). So you know, I thought she only plays hard to get, like women do. That didnt bother me. Time passes and I kept going with my "the first time I saw you .."s. Kind of know she liked it anyway. And she kept on having the same answer.

At one point I thought something was strange. She kept on having those exact same words again and again. 'Oh bof'. Again and again. I could sense she was actually trying to tell me something entirely else.

Until I realised what she was saying. When I did realised what she was saying, I was shocked.

The first time I saw her... what I really thought was... 'Oh bof'. This is literally word for word what I thought the first time I saw her. I thought in my head: 'Oh bof'. But not only the words matched perfectly, the ton as well.

I pass on the details but let me tell you that girl knew exactly my state of mind even when I was in the next room.

Thats the time I learnt some people can tell exactly what you think just by looking at you. This is frightening. They can because they started observing people at a very young age. They love to observe people. Exactly like it is said in that pg's post: they observe.

I believe this is the punchline but I still can't figure out what the 6 is about:

To obtain Theorem 1.1, let k denote logp(n). We apply Theorem 1.2 for the case of k > (log2(p))^5
by constructing the skew-symmetric matrix spaces for both input groups according to the Baer’s
correspondence [Bae38]. Theorem 1.2 implies the running time for this case is n^O((log n)5/6). For the
case of k ≤ (log2(p))^5 , we run the aforementioned generating set enumeration algorithm [Mil78].
Because every p group of order p^k has a generating set of size at most k, the running time of the
algorithm for this case is p^O(k2), which is also n^O((log n)5/6).

pasting dropped some superscripts to regular scripts. I tried to fix them but I may have borked a couple.

Sometimes I'm using it as a laptop, the touchpad is absolutely great, I wouldn't do it any other way.

Other times, I have it plugged into a monitor and a desktop keyboard. In those cases, I want a real mouse plugged in.
The law example is kindof funny to me because my attorney and I get into these discussions that boil down to “yes, you’re right—the Constitution absolutely does say what you think it says about your civil rights, but that’s irrelevant. The judge is still going to convict you and you can appeal it all the way to SCOTUS and you’re going to loose every time.”
SQLite would describe this as a feature, because it's a PITA do that type of query otherwise - window functions with rank() or row_number(), or a self-join. (Obviously this specific query could be done with ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 1 but if you want the highest paid employee per team or department etc...)
It's a really bad smell if they don't give you feedback - is that a company that can provide quality code reviews to its staff, or not.
Can this do Conventional Commits? Not that I'm saying I'd use it (I would prefer to write them myself still), but curious.
Well at this point it kind of loses a bit the value of "documenting for posterity", doesn't it? At least the small children I have seen don't really seem to realize what an achievement it is to land a rocket.

I mean, it's cool to have some videos. I watched a few SpaceX launches, and I still will watch the next Starship flights. But it's not like I watch every single launch of every single rocket (does SpaceX even make such an event every time?).

I always do exactly one commit with a commit time of exactly when they sent me the take home. If I actually had to fork something I would create the Github account specifically for just that take home and fork it right before pushing. Creation and modification date of files are the same.

Either they don't care or they see it and figure I must be some sort of whiz. I say that because the amount of people that don't know how git works or that file attributes are arbitrarily changeable is amazing.

And no not specifically to "cheat". Just on principle. If they require BS I give them BS. Else it's just fun. Sometimes the people actually hiring/doing the interview are also not the ones that care for this but HR/senior leadership only.

You’re adding another dimension. Sort of a “half” dimension. If you want a distance function in a space that’s non-Euclidean, you’re likely (always?) going to have something you can represent as hyperbolic geometry. Check out metric spaces and measures on Wikipedia.

For a “vibes” intro, The Hyperbolic Geometry of DMT experiences has a good intro in the beginning. https://youtu.be/loCBvaj4eSg

I’m no expert on hyperbolic geometry. These things just helped me “get it” in the sense of “I get why that’s a thing”. Also, seeing it for yourself doesn’t hurt.

There is another cost of not regulating:

If I live in a society that is keen on regulation, then I feel more safe doing things. I can not have information in my head about what all is regulated and how much. When I do things in the US, I feel safe (relative to known risks), because I believe we are a high-regulation society (feel free to argue that). If that image starts to slip, then I have to start asking myself: Should I take my kids on this helicopter ride at the county fair? Should I go down this remote cliffside road on public transport? Should I get in this old elevator? Should I leave this electrical appliance running while I sleep?

Maybe it's a little thing in the big picture, but some people value it immensely, and many Americans appear to be those people. Declining to regulate deep-sea subs, or whatever else, maybe doesn't have any practical effect, but it is one little chip out of the image of high-regulation.
You could maybe offer a personal project repo or code example instead? Iv’ve walked through passion projects with interviewers before and found them insightful.
Real estate investors make a bet that the rents they receive will cover the mortgage payments.

Markets are cyclical. The full reason why any particular system oscillates or is chaotic is complicated, however in this case the fact that there is a long lead time measured in years for any new supply to be created and the decision to build is partially based on prevailing interest rates and the supply of money.

Most cities lock the use type of any particular building in by the use of zoning and all kinds of regulation. That means the owners or potential owners aren't free to just change the building use to attempt to provide supply to match demand.

Should people be able to make predictions about future business and economic conditions and then undertake business based on those predictions? They are going to bet wrong a lot. In fact due to the nature of feedback systems, there will always be some investors that bet wrong.

Let's simplify this a little and just take one example of something the city and county of SF has control over, property tax. SF is a little unique by being both a city and county. In California the counties have control over lien tax sales for non payment of property tax. How quickly should the county of SF auction off properties that haven't paid their property tax?

https://sco.ca.gov/ardtax_public_auction.html

Tax-Defaulted Land Sales

Property becomes tax-defaulted land if the property taxes remain unpaid at 12:01 a.m. on July 1st. Property that has become tax-defaulted after five years (or three years in the case of property that is also subject to a nuisance abatement lien) becomes subject to the county tax collector’s power to sell in order to satisfy the defaulted property taxes. The county tax collector must attempt to sell the property within four years of becoming subject to sale. The county tax collector may offer the property for sale at public auction, a sealed bid sale, or a negotiated sale to a public agency or qualified nonprofit organization.

Should the County of San Fransisco increase the number of property tax delinquent properties that they slap with nuisance abatement (they could pick any kind of reason such as dirt and graffiti, squatters, crime incidents, etc) in order to expedite these properties being put on the market?

It’s a shame, I’m sure there’s a small subset of people here, who, if we could filter out the noise, could pick quite a few winners.

I’ve passed on Nvidia so many times because it has always been expensive. I’d be retired if I understood it better.

> A great experience should find a balance between creating friendly spaces and over-policing each other.

A great experience should not primarily be a worsening spiral of wounds and resentments. It should primarily be a productive and mutually supportive exchange.

Just like in the real world, which is the model for healthy social interaction and sustainability.

Real society involves names, addresses, and credit ratings. The Social Media business is not about real society. At best, narrow interest groups will thrive.

> Social media has a reputation for being emotionally chaotic. Some days it can be fulfilling, and other days it can be a box of horrors. If we’re going to succeed in our mission of creating social media that operates as a sustainable public commons, these tools need to not just be good in theory, but actually help create a better social space than what has come before.

Without an anchor in real social trust, the above is either hopelessly naive or calculated to sound attractive to investors.

Wow. He had to brake pretty hard to not crash. In FSD’s defense, maybe, the stop sign only appeared shortly after the curve, but I would have expected it to fare much better.
Later on, it adds generational references and constraint references to relax the restrictions. These are both more flexible than SlotMap because they don't require a new parameter to be passed in from the callers (and callers' callers etc), which can cause problems when an indirect caller's signature can't change (trait method override, public API, drop, etc.)

> when the senior developers don't know how environment variables work, I weep

I recently spent a hair-pulling near-week encountering then trying to figure out the DLL search path in Win32 because a library was messing around with it. Documentation is straightforward enough, I suppose, until you get to SetDefaultDllDirectories, which has this in its discussion: "It is not possible to revert to the standard DLL search path or remove any directory specified with SetDefaultDllDirectories from the search path."

I guess my point is, environment variables can be tricky.

A Perspective published in Advances in Nutrition, “Plant-Based Eating Pattern for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention and Treatment: Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Practical Considerations” offers strong evidence based on a review of the current scientific research that “a plant-based eating pattern is associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes and is highly effective in its treatment.”

I've never seen a takehome that wasn't just one step out of 5 or 6 calls/panels. I've gone through 4 or 5 at this point and they've been anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours for a single step (one takehome I had was fizzbuzz, another was super complicated) instead of a 45min-to-1-hr phone call.

A "takehome and debrief" call wouldn't be too bad as an alternative to a full day of panels, but I've never personally come across it.

Page isn't loading for me (got it working here https://archive.is/4ujvn), but as far as I can tell, no group is arseholes like that. It's usually that people can't correctly attribute things because they don't use intelligence to correctly load in characteristics. You'll see this in various online threads: "Of course it's a Nissan driver / Of course it's a Prius / Of course it's a German car". The attribution is nonsense. It's like getting mad at moustachioed men because you saw a documentary on Hitler and Stalin.

Listen, when I commuted every day in the Bay Area by motorcycle, you know what I most remember? Cars moving to the left of lane 1 to make it easy for me to split. When I'm driving? People switching lanes to clear the lane next to an exit-only lane so that others can merge in.

The world is full of good people and other people, and anyone who does this kind of incorrect attribution is obviously making unintelligent statements. The slicing goes a different way: all those guys who would make an allowance for me + me + others like me form Team A; and all those who try to cut off others or be dicks form Team B. And Team A members drive all sorts of vehicles.

One last thing, though. TfL does spray around buckets of cash, but has >1 farebox recovery ratio. So it's expensive, but it pays for itself. And it's a very efficient system, with daily/weekly/monthly maximums and entirely contactless. It's a wonderful system.

I will admit that bus services outside London can be absolute shite, though.

That said, I've definitely seen it run stop signs, so it's not uncommon.

The trick is to get the right balance for your von Neumann probes such that they survive long enough to propagate (hazard remediation mostly) while also not bottlenecking on a resource. Iirc you can harvest so much so fast that it's easy to be set for the foreseeable future. I would occasionally just stop mass/wire production to get my fleet going strong and it would take a long time before I needed to restart it. Meanwhile trust stacks up and probes get better.
