> Texas has never been shy, and always been consistent, about its interest: The objective is to correct the mix of viewpoints that major platforms present. But a State may not interfere with private actors’ speech to advance its own vision of ideological balance. States (and their citizens) are of course right to want an expressive realm in which the public has access to a wide range of views. But the way the First Amendment achieves that goal is by preventing the government from “tilt[ing] public debate in a preferred direction,not by licensing the government to stop private actors from speaking as they wish and preferring some views over others. A State cannot prohibit speech to rebalance the speech market. That unadorned interest is not “unrelated to the suppression of free expression.” And Texas may not pursue it consistent with the First Amendment.

This is about as open and shut as it gets on the Supreme Court, and it's crazy that it even went that high.
I am not so sure that the climate change is worse than the plastic pollution. Do you have any links comparing these?
Are there any industrial processes where plastic containers get re-used? I know drink containers get returned where I live. But I doubt they get re-used.
The humorous thing is that when I learned about the Chevron decision in law school, it was described as an attempt by the conservative judiciary to restrict regulatory oversight of businesses...

The difference between Chevron and Loper was that the Chevron decision actually took the real world into account. The decision noted that agencies simply needed a delegation of authority from Congress as Congress could not be expected to think of every little thing; the agencies existed to deal with that sort of minutiae.

However, Loper throws the real world (and actual history) out the window and requires that Congress explicitly authorize every little thing an agency does; a strict (i.e., "textual") reading of the Loper decision would mean that federal agencies could not even change the toilet paper in their offices without Congressional authorization. (Yes, this is a silly example but that's why textualism has only ever been embraced by extreme far-right justices; you need to be dissociated from the consequences of your actions in order to justify using textualism in a SCOTUS decision affecting hundreds of millions of people.)

I've been programming on and off for nearly two decades. I have a wide range of interests both in and away from computers. I think I bring a lot to the table when problem solving thanks to this. I've been doing some freelancing for the last year or so, and before that I was running a dog walking business. I haven't worked in a while, but I think given the chance of proving myself will show I'm a useful resource of knowledge.

Not OP, but I really like https://www.getzola.org/ because its a single binary (I switched when I realized I could no longer easily build my Jekyll setup locally), has templates that make sense to me (i.e. similar to Jekyll), and hot reloading.
Difficult to grok? We need other people to regulate our own limbic system. Try to think about that one.
Let me explain: there is State religion, Dominant religion, Secularism.

1. Western Europe has a dominant religion but not officially secular.

2. Only 5 nations(please correct me with source material) that are secular by constitution.

3. The secular nations are : India United States, France, Japan and Australia.

4. Exceptions: Russia for example has no religion. Vietnam is officially atheist. But the dominant religion is Buddhism.

5. Nepal was the only Hindu nation until recently before the Maoist insurgency and Hindu as official state religion was struck off.

6. India is officially a Secular State. The dominant and majority religion is Hinduism, but principles of secularism is not practiced as Muslims and minorities enjoy more religious privileges than the majority Hindus.

7. This makes India secular in name only. It penalizes the majority of the religious citizens by denying them equal rights and privileges under law.

8. My opinion is that Hindus should have a Hindu nation where they are a majority at one billion especially because there is no other Hindu nation in the world and India is civilisationally Hindu and all Hindu shrines and holy places and sacred texts have ancient India or Bharat as its origin site.

All of this information with supporting evidence and official state dictates is available in the public domain and official state records.

I am going to ignore your second paragraph. It was an attack, unnecessary and personal.
Let's start with this: If the president has the constitutional authority to do X, how can he be criminally liable for doing X? It seems rather obvious that he can't.

But if it's outside his constitutional authority, yes, he can be charged. That's what all the pearl-clutchers seem to be ignoring. Yes, Trump can be charged. He doesn't have immunity for election interference (outside the scope of his office). He doesn't have immunity for keeping and mishandling classified documents, and especially for trying to hide them (outside the scope of his role once out of office).

And what do you want? The Supreme Court laid down some general principles. Do you want them to judge how those principles apply to all the cases, when the lower courts haven't judged what the facts are yet? Why do you want that?

Look, I get as impatient as the next person at this slow-motion case, and I worry about November coming. But the Supreme Court isn't supposed to be a fact-finding court. Don't expect them to be.
Let's recap, and you're not going to get what you want from me. I read your story, but I'm not sure if you can see your behavior.

You had/have expectations around his behavior he's never agreed to and quite probably doesn't know you had.
It's fair to be bummed he doesn't want the same things as you.

What's not fair is to be mad at someone for not doing something he never agreed to to or offered to do. His obligation to you is not to lie about what he's interested in doing which he seems to have met.

Additionally, your anecdote about putting jabs at him in the codebase makes me believe engaging with people who do that is not healthy for him.

None of this makes you a victim except of your own expectations.

I've got about 19 years of experience as a fullstack engineer, with a strong focus on software design and architecture, UI/UX, and leadership. I've worked with both big companies and startups, and I've also led a few startup projects myself. My main skills include Node.js, React, Svelte, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Linux, CI/CD, and SEO optimization. I also have experience with Python, PHP, and I'm adaptable to working with other technologies and languages.

I'm good at turning complex technical ideas into user-friendly applications.
1. Proportion of people who die due to violence/suicide. Bit tricky to define this rigorously. Does euthanasia count? Abortions? Starvation due to war? To market economics?

I’m not sure how applicable it would be to a hive mind species.

2. Power consumption as a proportion of total power emitted by their home star. Broadly captures technological development.

3. Fertility rate, counting only children who live to sexual maturity, with some adjustment for the number of sexes / sex ratio. Broadly captures how easy life is, at least after a certain level of development.

I’m not confident that 1 and 3 would even make sense in principle for all civilisations. And I’ve completely missed environmental considerations.
> Mars is not strictly worse than Everest.

It absolutely is. The only way in which it might be slightly more hospitable is that the regolith is easier to bury roots into than rock.

> Moss can survive extremely low temperatures as long as it occasionally gets above freezing but it can’t grow on ice

Granted, though I doubt it can survive martian temperatures for long.

> Lack of oxygen on Mars precludes flowering plants but not every organism needs oxygen.

The almost complete lack of an atmosphere on Mars definitely prevents any multi-cellular Earth-like organism from developing and thriving there, though. It's not just that there is no oxygen, there isn't almost anything at all, atmospheric density is 20g/m^3 at ground level, compared to Earth's 1200g/m^3 at sea level, or about 400g/m^3 at the top of Everest.

And you also have to remember the extreme radiation and the toxic regolith, plus the complete lack of any easily extractable nutrients in the "soil", and the lack of any kind of humidity (as all water is frozen more or less at all times).

Show HN: DressMeUp – AI-powered virtual dressing room
Hey HN! I'm excited to share DressMeUp, an AI platform that lets you try on clothes virtually without changing a thing.

The Problem:
We've all been there: hours spent online shopping, only to receive items that don't fit or look different than expected. Returns are a hassle for customers and costly for retailers. The fashion e-commerce industry loses billions annually due to returns, with fit issues being a primary cause.

Our Solution:
DressMeUp uses cutting-edge AI and computer vision to create a virtual fitting room experience.

Here's how it works:

1)Upload a photo or use your device's camera
2)Select outfits from our platform or use yours
3)See yourself in the chosen clothes instantly

No need for 3D body scans or complex setups. Our AI handles the magic, ensuring accurate sizing and realistic draping.

Impact

For shoppers: Save time, reduce uncertainty, and have fun exploring new styles
For retailers: Decrease return rates, increase conversion, and gather valuable data on customer preferences

What's Next
We're working on:

Improving fabric physics simulation
Expanding our retailer partnerships
Developing a mobile app for on-the-go virtual try-ons

We'd love your feedback and insights. Try it out at dressmeup.onrender.com and let us know what you think!
> We need to tax carbon, not just subsidize batteries.

Yeah, subsidies are incredibly clumsy/distorting compared to just taxing the problem directly.

I hold out hope that we'll someday see a uniform carbon tax, but as my wife likes to say, American politicians like carrots a lot more than they like sticks.
I don't get the point why a maintainer of a popular package failed his interview. Having a popular package has nothing to do with coding ability and much more to do with writing the right thing at the right time.
Carbon emissions calculations aren’t astrology, there has actually been a lot of detailed data collected. For example:
https://www.fao.org/4/i3460e/i3460e.pdf
"Why do you want to work for us?" is an open-ended question. It doesn't demand passion. "I feel like I have a strong existing knowledge of the sort of work that's done here which would make this role a pleasant fit for me," is a perfectly acceptable answer, especially if you're interviewing at a company that manages parking garages. Something about the company culture is also fine. They're not always demanding that you display a deep passion for managing parking garages; it's just an opportunity to explain why you personally would fit into the company/role better than other candidates.
I'm happy to hand author a small site, but the line for me has been around 3 or 4 pages before I reach for one templating engine or another.

For something like a marketing site, the homepage is usually custom enough that you wouldn't repeat yourself much. Throw in an about us or contact page and you'll be fine. Much past that and I want partials for basics like the header and footer, and likely a few layout components.

Debugging a static site generator should be a thing in my opinion. When you gave to debug an SSG it's because the tool has to much magic built into it like automatic data pipelines, opinionated front-matter schemas, etc.
Is not an easy decision. Politicians can be sued if a branch falls over somebody, but can get rid easily of the ten thousands of kills a year by contamination on air and water. Of course somebody being crushed by a tree is a real tragedy, but if the same people would have a heart attack because nitrogen emissions are out of the charts, or they get ill by asthma and can't work, would not reach the news.

An interesting question is: Have people trees because is rich, or they are richer because they had trees? (and this will save a lot of money each year on energy bills, food and even psychologists). Trees are a tool to fight poverty. The problem is how to made the poor people respect them.

> At least in large numbers, there are more likely to be more rational viewpoints to counter our innate biases.

Maybe, but there is absolutely no mechanism to ensure that rational viewpoints will prevail in a group of large numbers, and quite a large danger of social pressure causing less rational viewpoints to prevail instead.

Some Ars articles are behind HN by days, weeks, or months.

Other articles take an unnecessary political dig; or comes off as selectively filtered, which comes off as dishonest.

Then there the articles like Infocom which strike the right tone.

Looking at your own post, the belief that anyone who doesn’t agree with renewables must be a FOX news consumer is woefully unnuanced and unhelpful.
The Weaver communication style described in the article reminds me of the "Die Katagnetten" acts in the former German comedy TV show "Bullyparade".

Here a YouTube compilation of these acts (requires good understanding of German):

I have actually had this idea and have played with it in the past.

If I could guide you in a different direction:

Closet Management. I _would_ like tips on how to improve how I dress but I don't want my style to homogenized or labeled.

What I would want is essentially a local or cloud software that knows what I have in my closet, can manage what I have (is it dirty, is it clean, when did I last wear it, how worn out is it), can find new items that can integrate into my clothing, and will improve automation of this part of my life. So I can either present something to the visual AI and it judges it or I can have it optimize my clothes for the day for the weather and it will pick it out for me so I just have to put it on. Ideally, it would be a mode I toggle on where I don't even have to prompt; integrate it into my smart bed and it pops a notification of what to put on. The intention long-term would be having RFID tags in your clothes so the human doesn't have to manually maintain what's in the closet.

I think others have covered why catering this to 'fashionistas' likely won't work (it's their passion, they _want_ the effort). What you could likely cater to is people who want to look presentable and are somewhere between "vaguely knows what colors are" and "understands matching and style but wants to put it on cruise control".

The ground floor of the business is just the normal SaaS fee ($20+ / month easy). The upsell of the business is the maintenance of the closet ("your shirt looks worn out, can I buy a new one?" "Yes"... three days later, brand new shirt appears in their mailbox) along with either sponsored or partnered sales ("I think this belt would look nice with this outfit, it's $80, can I buy it?" "Yes")
> you may be able to generate a static site quickly but good luck coming back to it after 10 years.

If you're using Jekyll or Hugo or similar, sure.

My SSG is a tiny shell script that calls pandoc. I have no problem coming back to it to fix it, but because it's so small there's literally nothing to fix.

I can make it even easier if I used Makefiles.
Apoptosis is when single cells die on purpose for the development of an organism. I don't think it's unreasonable to at least hypothesize this extending to intelligent entities. Humans aren't xylem cells, but perhaps Zorklovians from planet Fleptar do this.

Or, you know, Alan Turing eating the apple. I think he was a pretty smart guy.

How did you determine this and how could someone else verify it?
It's not impossible to verify it, it's impossible to automatically verify it with another program. Other issues are the underlying abstract machine (which can have its own bugs) and the surrounding environment (you either need to assert or/and sanitize your inputs).
If you look at the court documents, they provide a litany of reasons the case had no merit and also that the circuit courts were in the wrong.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all ‘People of the Book’. Hindus scriptural texts are the Vedas.

Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic and against idol worship. While not all Hindus worship idols and multiple gods, these practices are not blasphemy or apostasy.

There is a binary criteria amongst Abrahamic religions about what constitutes membership.
