I am not saying who would benefit, the lawsuit seems to be focused on loss of sales.

I am legitimately curious about the actual number of sales that went to those without something diagnosed by your doctor. I don't know anyone that actually had any sort of real time monitoring before it was added to the apple watch.

For those that had something recognized by your doctor to need something, I would hope your doctor would recognize the limitations (and lack of full approval) of the apple watch and would recommend an altarnative.

So it isnt that I am saying who would benefit, but questioning the loss of sales.
Amazing how the US approaches Taliban Afghanistan step-by-tiny-step (and sometimes with giant leaps, e.g. by electing Trump). It's incredible (i.e. "too extraordinary and improbable to admit of belief") that about half the country^W voters think that lot is the best to lead their country...

As to what corruption will bring: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/19/corruption-rev...

There's also no denying that the alternative party also has its own corruptions, which turn off voters..
There was a 7-2 liberal majority during the 1970s. They didn't feel bound by precedent either. That's how we got, for example, Roe v. Wade. (No, there was no precedent for "a penumbra" of privacy giving a right to abortion in any previous court decisions. And whether you like the decision is orthogonal to whether the court was making stuff up completely outside the realm of precedent.)

Conservatives aren't doing something that liberals have not done. Liberals will probably do it again when they have the chance. And so will conservatives.

You don't have to like it, either because it goes against what you want or because you don't think decisions should be made like that. But don't think that this hasn't happened before.
Wouldn’t corruption be more likely to arise from a system where courts defer their decisions to mega-corporations and federal agencies?

> Chevron, he complained, “ushers in shocks to the system every four or eight years when a new administration comes in” and implements “massive change” in areas like securities law, communications law, and environmental law.

New laws being enacted as governments change is not a shock to the system, it is business as usual. Overturning decades old precedents on the other hand...
Government agencies are similarly dysfunctional, though they do have the benefit of (at least hypothetically) hiring subject matter experts to guide policy, but that's kind of why we have committees in the legislative branch.

The other issue of course is that the people leading agencies are playing politics just like everyone else. Do people not remember the controversy surrounding Ajit Pai's leadership of the FCC?

The difference is you vote for your legislators directly and can hold them accountable for their actions. For federal agencies, you're at best indirectly voting for them through voting in a presidental election, but mostly there's no accountability.
well yes, assignment is fine, but given eng's limited bandwidth and the product's conflicting priorities mean the action items coming out of retros are deprioritized, unless someone can really make a case for them.
It would be somewhat amusing if Congress took the bait and wrote some legislation telling the Court to get back in its lane. Maybe the majority of justices would actually be okay with that.
Yes anyone who's paid attention knew this was coming. I'm not sure the average American voter understands the consequences of the supreme court veering to the right however

Devastating that expertise will no longer influence the application of law and policy. The biggest question is who will interpret the application of law? Will it be challenged in court once again until a clear statement is made? Meanwhile, what will be the effects of this “deregulation” until a clear statement is made
I tend to agree that civil law should be better over the long term, but I don’t see this Supreme Court letting that happen. They pretend to be deferent to congress when congress is ineffective or on their side, but the script can be easily flipped or used both ways at the same time like they do with states rights. But ultimately they would not let themselves be constrained by a hostile congress.

I agree. Adopting a more modular approach is a great idea. Coming from the Java ecosystem, I still miss having something like the Spring framework in Python. I believe Spring remains an example of excellent framework design. Let me explain what I mean.

Using Spring requires adopting Spring IoC, but beyond that, everything is modular. You can choose to use only the abstractions you need, such as ORM, messaging, caching, and so on. At its core, Spring IoC is used to loosely integrate these components. Later on, they introduced Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, which are distributions of various Spring modules, offering an opinionated application programming model that simplifies getting started.

This strategy allows users the flexibility to selectively use the components they need while also providing an opinionated programming model that saves time and effort when starting a new project.

Nobody doubted this is where it would end up - but it's a terrible place at complete odds with judicial restraint and precedent. The courts are going to be the de facto regulatory body in the US going forward, a responsibility they granted themselves out of thin air.

I wonder how difficult it would be to make a website that, instead of serving 404's, a model does a semantic search using the nonexistent URL to come up with a URL that actually does exist and most closely matches the "intent" of the invalid one.
Mandatory comment every time the subject comes up: shellcheck is really helpful when writing Bash scripts.

shellcheck itself is not written in Bash (it's written in Haskell) but it gives really good hints and find lots of bugs. If you disagree with some of its warnings, you can choose which ones you want to turn off.

I use it from within Emacs and it works fine. Set that thing once, years ago, and it's been helping me ever since.

Also: shellcheck probably ships with your Linux distro.

On the contrary, they see themselves as them undoing many decades' worth of lack of judicial restraint. It's a change only because judicial activism has been the norm.

> The US is a common-law country. By stare decisis, the courts are indeed supposed to be bound by precedent.

And that doesn't work, and it didn't even work to start.

IIRC, in Britain, before the US was independent, "common law" became so unworkable and and unjust because the courts were so rigidly "bound" by precedent (like you advocate), that a whole other system of law "equity" was created.
Also, if the commenters here READ the full decision, the court explains the history and its reasoning better than any of us can do here.

That's a common feature of Supreme Court decisions, and I find many Supreme Court decisions to be very interesting reading, including those from past decades.

Congress would have to agree that the power really belongs with them, and agree to limit the Court to only that which is covered in Article III. This is entirely plausible, but I think unlikely in the short term.
Not "taken". It was inherently granted by Congress on the joint understanding that the intent was that agencies would engage in rule making to decide areas left undefined within the scope of the law as written.

Regulatory agencies are responsible to Congress, the Legislative Branch that has the power to adjust the law to reflect its intent. Judges are not. The understanding is that it is the agencies that are intended to have the best understanding of what they regulate, not judges.

Laws were written with this assumption in place, which the Court has just rug-pulled from the operation of the US government.

True. And having Santa Claus make all the decisions would be even better.

Well there's two of many possible outcomes, which are covered under your "depending on the circumstances", which make your comment universally true, and therefore not so informative:

1. We strengthen the pressure vessel enough so that it gives way at higher pressure, making a "stronger bomb"

2. We strengthen the pressure vessel enough so that it doesn't give way, making it not a bomb at all.

It's not at all clear if the duct tape will do 1 or 2 or something else, and this first-order logic / first-impressions design doesn't smell to me like a rigorous solution.
What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it... which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses'.

Yes but people who have been listening have also been dreading this coming for years. The fact that they're consistently knocking over shelves doesn't make it better.

We've known that Roe was on the chopping block, but it doesn't make it good law even if it's consistent with the conservative justices' goals.

> This is peak HN: getting accused of being "disingenuous" for making a glib comment complaining about too many "fixed typo" and other trivial commits in a git log.

Making snarky comments isn't particularly interesting, nor does it offer much opportunity for discussing the actual benefits/drawbacks of the topic.

> Squashing is great IMO, but the problem is that many organizations prohibit it, because it erases a developer's commit history, because apparently it's really, really interesting to pore through dozens of commits where a developer fixed some whitespace, fixed some typos, etc. (Before you say something about rebasing, these same organizations also frequently prohibit that too.)

That's an issue with the policies of those specific organisations rather than with the idea of generating a changelog from commit messages.

Squashing/Rebasing isn't necessary to generate a clean changelog. You don't need to include every commit by default.

This is a fantastic outcome.

If you give an agency the power to interpret the law that congress has prescribed to the agency, the agency will almost always chose an interpretation that is in their self-interest - often leading to a corrupt (really, just an outright wrong) interpretation of the law.

It's surprising that Chevron was ever even case law. Thank goodness we have a set of justices that are actually looking to get rid of conflicts of interest and focus on an objective and conflict-free rule of law.

It seems based on the dissent liberals want to relish in giving government agencies power to interpret what they want, which is consistent with yesterday's dissent from the liberals where the liberals dissented with the SEC case where the liberals dissent stated that the SEC should be able to prosecute individuals in their own SEC-based rules with their own SEC-based court.

The court system is moving to ensure there are more checks and balances and that the law is interpreted and prosecuted in a way that has less conflict of interest.

Some of what you listed might be appropriate if the class were a Christianity focused social studies class. By teaching the bible, they would be meaning the teaching of the text of the bible.

That said, this is very arguably a violation of the establishment clause.

Sociopathy is probably a more accurate diagnosis than psychopathy. And corporations are inherently sociopathic. By definition their primary motive is profit and there are often strong incentives on those in charge to ignore ethical considerations. It's probably the #1 reason we have consumer protection, and environmental protection laws.
Generally yes because civil servants are hired to be experts at that particular aspect of government

It's not about the application of law. It's about the ambiguity of law. If anything, they'll need to rely on more expertise now, so they can craft laws that aren't open to interpretation. This is a fantastic decision on the part of the court.
I think OpenAI and LLM's in general are a victim of their user friendliness.

Honestly, when was the last time that we got a new technology that was as user friendly as talking to an LLM for the average user?

For most users, its magical. It doesn't take marketing for them to start thinking this thing is "reasoning" or "thinking" after just spending a few minutes talking to it.

So personally I think the problem is less the marketing (not to downplay that), and how the industry has gravited towards it. And the lack of proper education on what is not.

We have to properly educate on what it is not actually doing while at the same time it sure appears to be doing exactly that since it is so good at faking it.

This even exists within tech circles, we see some of it here.

SCOTUS is governed by the constitution. All congress has control over is the purse (money paid to the justices), number of justices, and appointment of justices. SCOTUS rules are set out in Article III. If congress wants to change the rules of SCOTUS, they will need to amend the constitution.

Note that congress does have power over all lower federal courts, as they were created by congress. SCOTUS is special here though.

This will certainly make life harder for the regulatory agencies, and I don’t want to minimize the difficulty that represents, but this decision reinstates an important check on the Executive’s power at a very critical juncture in our nation’s history.
Like I said, there are legitimate arguments to be made against this change, but a lot of people are quick to assume that the Court is out to get them.

The cases that people would approve of if they heard about them get ignored by social media, instead focusing exclusively on the cases that undo some rights that had been established by judicial or executive precedent. So we end up in a place where a lot of commenters are under the false impression that the Court just hates ___ people, rather than seeing the whole picture of the court systematically rolling back judicial activist rulings and executive rule makings.
