When I studied politics as an undergraduate, my insanely liberal professors said: “Roe was a terribly decided decision. It was sloppy legal reasoning, and overall pretty embarrassing. That was rectified by Planned Parenthood v Casey in 1992.”

Almost everyone agrees with you on the emanations of penumbras. Nobody wants that. It was rectified by Casey in 1992.

Roe also claimed abortion was a right because doctors should not worry about the law. Women didn’t have a right to abortion at all. Doctors did. That was fixed by Casey in 1992, and probably a bit early.

Roe hasn’t been the defining law on abortion since 1992 because so many people, pro-choicers especially, regarded it as very flawed.

You are attacking straw men. Please stop.
Think tanks are not about the talent, they are about who pays the bills. The USAF paid the bills.

The guy signing the checks was Curtis LeMay, who was a… reactionary who ended up as running mate to the George Wallace. He was an enthusiastic proponent of nuclear war and inspiration for Dr. Strangelove.

MAD came a bit later, many of the key folks assumed and accepted that nuclear conflict was inevitable. And they may have been right.

> dealing with people having strange misconceptions of Australian culture

Misconceptions of Australian culture are rather widespread in the US. Some Americans seem to think films like Crocodile Dundee are representative of mainstream Australian culture, when they aren’t. Films like that are taking stereotypes about the small minority of Australians who live in remote rural areas, and then exaggerating them for comic effect. The vast majority of Australians live in big metro areas, and have a rather different culture. It would be a bit like if someone saw a film about rednecks in the Ozarks and thought it was representative of the average denizen of New York or San Francisco.

Of course, in part it is just as much Australians’ fault for selling that kind of cringey stuff to Americans as it is Americans for lapping it up. The late Steve Irwin (of “Crocodile Hunter” fame), was likewise playing up those stereotypes in his on-screen persona. Some more recent cultural exports (for example Bluey) have done much better in this area

And rather obviously Outback Steakhouse is exploiting this ignorance as part of its marketing rather than challenging it
I'm guessing you think Thurgood Marshall is a political hack too?

How do you go 10 years without even asking a question (https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/29/politics/supreme-court-claren...) if you're so good you could be an attorney general.

He's lazy, and that's even worse than just being a sex predator (Anita Hill) in the context of jurisprudence. He writes the shortest, shittiest, least well thought out opinions. He's phoning it in and has been for decades now.

Seems that our best justices are "political hacks" and our worst are those who are excellent lawyers. Maybe that's because lawyers are only slightly above "used car salesman" in terms of honesty?

Shit dude, If law credentials mattered, than Comey wouldn't have ever been an attorney (Cooley law, worst law school in america). Was he also a "political hack"?
Most company bathrooms probably don't have many babies coming through though, right? So this test is limited to just places like stores, restaurants, etc. which is a tiny subset of companies.

I hate that I need to sleep, but I know that if I don't respect that need that I'll immediately fall apart.
It takes time.

For a team not used to code reviews, they might seem more trouble than they're worth at first. Most likely they will be more trouble than they're worth for the first few months. Keep doing them and eventually your smart developers will figure "if we have to do this anyway, we may as well find something useful to say" :)

A few things you can do to make it smoother:

- Manage expectations. Initially it may be as simple as "we just want to have a second pair of eyes on every change" or "be aware what other team members are up to" - i.e. communication first, improving code second.

- Set up your tooling to make the process smooth. If somebody wants to just get it over with - it should be easier for them to use your official review process then to use some side channel. A vicious alternative is to make using side channels harder ;)

- Leverage automation. Run tests, linters, static checkers, etc. on your PRs so that developers get something useful even if no human leaves interesting comments.

- If some team members already have experience with code reviews - adjust their workload so that they can do more reviews. They are effectively training others by example.

- Make sure that code changes under review are reasonably sized. Encourage submitting changes for review early and often. "Here is the feature I worked on for 3 months, and it's due on Friday, please review" won't make anybody happy.

- Make it less intimidating. Code reviews are not just for finding bugs and flaws, encourage reviewers to say positive things as well.
SEALs and other special forces use a lot of heavy weaponry and explosives in addition to small arms like rifles and sidearms. Think door breaching charges, grenades, rocket launchers, heavy machine guns.

> deem opposition party leaders to be terrorists

why is it so easy to just deem some group of people terrorists, without any evidence presented?

And if this is true, why can't biden do it today, and preempt trump from doing it?
I don’t doubt Trump will try to do the nonsense he says. I do doubt he has the means to persuade educated persons to do such things.

The justices can function just fine without asking questions. The courts work is almost written. The only important questions are dry, procedural ones. This is how courts work.

They could argue that if she came forward it would reduce American's faith in their government leading to instability

I think you've been so riled up that you are worried over impossibilities. Judge Chutkan gets a pass at interpreting this, wait and see what she says about it. The kind of arguments you are suggest are wildly implausible and will never pass muster in any court, regardless of appointee. It explicitly isn't the intent of the decision.
I beg to differ.
Shower thoughts are the real business.
If a problem has multiple causes, only addressing one of them seem like a mistake.
Normal criminal prosecution is not a good check on a president's authority because the president indirectly supervises the prosecutors. So as a system to ensure "equality in the eyes of the law" the criminal justice system already is not very functional in anything like real time.

The DOJ threat of criminal prosecution only becomes functional when the president becomes a private person, at which point the president no longer has the ability to act in an official capacity anyway.

As for SEAL Team 6, they have a "duty to disobey" unlawful orders[1]-- which every member of the team probably knows off the top of their heads-- and which is a much more effective real-time check on a president's authority.

2- I meant run the configure file. Typically configures in what folder you install the program, under what user, that kind of stuff. I'm just alluding to the whole open source installation process, which is more complex than installing an .msi on Windows, or installing an apt distributed .deb package on debian.

It seems "security concerns" has become a catch-all these days for "we don't want to do it".
Not in constitutional law hearings, this is the exact moment when oral arguments are extremely important. They write them down after they're made, not before.

Make better arguments please, you showed you were capable of it earlier when you wrote the top level justification. Why not do it here?

We have a proof of concept and just secured $400K in seed funding for our website/app that is oriented around interviewing/screening using AI/video assistants. We still do not have a name yet and you would be joining early enough to get a meaningful amount of equity and $90k-180k depending on what we can all agree on.

Like I said, we have a working proof of concept but far from polished, ideally using the product will be the second step of the interview processes. While python based, a fair amount of what we have is based around external APIs at this point but you ideally need to have some ability to get working research implementations going as part of the product uses somewhat cutting edge research and our intent is to move more in that direction (e.g. putting research ideas into the product that fit our product vision) as we get further along.

The paper's title is a bit provocative but I think the findings are interesting. Mainly around long-held beliefs about what developers perceive as the value vs what is actually happening.

You do bring up a good point about using change defect rate though. I wish the researchers had cited that as the preferred unit of measurement. I did some research on change defect rates on popular open source projects and it's all over the map. Ranging from ~12 - ~40% [1].

The future I'd like to see is as developers we use objective measures to justify time investment for review. This is going to be increasingly important as agents start banging out small bug-fix tickets.

This resonates deeply with me right now because I’m very acutely aware of how different my communication style is and when/where it’s holding me back (socially and in my career.) I have a lot of frustration that other people seem to have such rigid expectations for how they need to be communicated with; at the same time I know I’m the outlier. Trying to “fix” this also just makes it worse.

Something I’ve recently come to realize is that certain, uh, substances make this problem literally evaporate away for me. For a few hours I can connect with people in a way that feels natural and expected and that they will notice and call out as different. It’s led me to think of my “communication differences” more like layers that can be peeled away than something that is completely ingrained in me.
Pumped hydro is suited for wind storage, and lithium ion is suited for solar storage, is a good approximation.

Snowy 2.0 with 2.2GW power and 350GWh energy will be great for multi-day wind surplus followed by multi-day dunkelflaute. But not as useful for solar, which is more stable, and where the droughts are seasonal in nature rather than weekly.
This bed has 1 GB of RAM. I used to play FIFA and Max Payne on a PC that had only 256 MB.
I read somewhere that trees help seed clouds, thus causing rain (or maybe just moisture in the air? I forget), though it seems like it's also a vicious cycle - the areas not in drought continue to not be in drought, whereas areas that are lose trees that could've seeded clouds, and thus rain.
That said, I agree with the points made in the article. "Trees are good" is a pretty uncontroversial stance. Should be, anyway.
I do wonder, if the biophilia thing is real, and it seems reasonable that it is - are some trees better at creating this effect than others, even if the same size? If so, does it vary by region, cultural/ethnic background, etc., and what do those trees that are unusually biophilia-inducing have in common?
I have no idea what the answers to those questions are, and there's a lot of speculation before you need to ask it, but it seems like some university or government or something should be researching those questions right now, what with all the plans to make cities greener.
I’m not sure why the author ignores the “… that should block a submisson” part.

The abstract of the paper:

> Because of its many uses and benefits, code reviews are a standard part of the modern software engineering workflow. Since they require involvement of people, code reviewing is often the longest part of the code integration activities. Using experience gained at Microsoft and with support of data, we posit (1) that code reviews often do not find functionality issues that should block a code submission; (2) that effective code reviews should be performed by people with specific set of skills; and (3) that the social aspect of code reviews cannot be ignored. We find that we need to be more sophisticated with our guidelines for the code review workflow. We show how our findings from code reviewing practice influence our code review tools at Microsoft. Finally, we assert that, due to its costs, code reviewing practice is a topic deserving to be better understood, systematized and applied to software engineering workflow with more precision than the best practice currently prescribes.

Thurgood Marshall was a widely respected trial attorney. He never held elected
office. No he was not a political hack.

Warren had been elected governor of California on both a Republican and Democratic ticket. That’s the very definition of a politician. I don’t have a good definition of hack.

If our best lawyers are no better than used car salesmen, why are they so well regarded internationally?
Okay, but invert that hypothetical. The American President orders a lot of people killed, including sometimes U.S. citizens. More commonly, they order things that result in significant loss of life, which could be prosecuted as negligent or reckless homicide.

Should former presidents be subject to prosecution for those decisions? Remember that criminal laws are often extremely broad, and you can use conspiracy and other legal theories to make someone liable who didn’t perform the actual killing. Heck, part of the J6 prosecution against Trump somehow involves an Enron-era document shredding law.

What I feel like the dissent misses completely, which is quite ironic given Justice Sotomayor’s history in private practice, is that not having any sort of immunity means trusting every prosecutor in the country with pretty much unrestricted discretion to stitch together vague criminal laws into criminal charges against former presidents. Why should we place such trust in prosecutors?
Read about email storms and you will understand why https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_storm
There are lots of missing bits here. For instance, you seem to assume that a = sign(a) * abs(a). Why?

And both sign and abs are not defined. So you say abs(a) >= 0 and sign(a) \in {-1, 1}. Why? For instance, what is sign(0)?

Are you assuming a construction of integers from the natural numbers such that for any n < 0, there is an integer abs(n) and n = -1 * abs(n)? If so, don't you need to include that (or at least reference it)?

Later you assume that all integers are even or odd. Why?

These are niggling details that don't matter when you have chalk in hand, but do matter when speaking to a system like lean4.
We already have massive storage in New Zealand - our existing hydro lakes.

What we need is solar installations. Reducing outflows is exactly the same as increasing storage.

AFAIK the problem is that regulations (plus the obligation to kowtow to maori interests) is preventing solar installations from going ahead. It isn't an issue of money, because I happen to know one private enterprise happy to invest half a billion to build out utility solar if they could get the necessary approvals. It isn't due to our conservative government - the same problem occurred under Labour+Greens. And our lakes when full can hold months of storage - in theory they would only need to spill for irrigation or ecological reasons or maybe during short flood periods.
What do you propose for reducing car fatalities and accidents?
I agree, and motive is not required to understand that murdering a mistress is outside the bounds of the official duties of the president.

I've added basic bit packing to the frequencies table, so long as the dictionary doesn't dominate like in a pangram it's slightly smaller than two arithmetic (static and adaptive) examples I could find online. I understand this isn't the best that arithmetic can do, next I'll look into that.

Never was trying to compare to NNs or PPM (or even simple LZ), since all this algorithm does is look at the frequency counts.

Agree it's not very practical and very expensive calculations, just fun to work on.

I never heard the term porcelain before, but I liked this tidbit.

"In software development terminology, comparing low-level infrastructure to plumbing is hard to trace, but the use of “porcelain” to describe high-level packaging originated in the Git mailing list. To this day, Git uses the terms “plumbing” and “porcelain” to refer to low-level and high-level commands, respectively.
"

Also, unrelated, the "Ruby people, strange people" video gave me a good chuckle.
