According to your profile you are an attorney and so I feel you already fully understand this, but red state abortion laws do not make exceptions for the mother's health. They state clearly that after a point in time, the life of the u

And the Chinese regulators will be happy about a deal where nvidia buys arm but either spins off arm china or just agree to give arm china the freedom to do whatever without oversight from HQ.

No, Milo did defend molestation, and then he took it back and apologized for it. Although I think Milo is rude, bigoted, and unapologetic, he is a victim, and I agree that he should have plenty of latitude to speak on the subject. What he s

Milo losing his book deal was not chosen by "the Left" or "silicon valley decision-makers" as they are not the publishing company. People have lost book deals for much less. Such is business. He lost his Twitter and Face

Milo had a book deal and was scheduled to speak at CPAC until someone uncovered a podcast of him defending the molestation of 13 year olds as a normal coming of age ritual. I am not sure whether to assume you have not researched how he lost

Can you give some (just 1 is fine) examples of people being silenced because their views didn't align with the left? I have yet to see a single one. I see people that were silenced for - Denying the current covid-sars-2 pandemic - Dire

Guantanamo is a terrible violation of human rights but it's not a cultural genocide like Xianjiang. It is okay to compare these but absurd to conclude they are equivalent. Have you actually been to HK or Beijing? I think you will find

The truth is, a lot of industries are abusive like this, unless you make it into a top echelon (size varies by industry). Look at the hours for drawing or animation. Or in the film industry, there are unions, but work conditions are similar

Yes, I work in C++ systems, I feel huge job security. I don't see demand for C++ systems engineers going down in the next 10 years at all. The field evolves, it is just very slow.

"Science" is not a single group of people, and there were plenty of disagreements about the initial mask guidance. During the major PPE shortage, healthcare workers would certainly agree that masks were important - they needed the

Can you give an example of people saying masks will work and fact-checkers or experts attacking them? I have looked and cannot find a single example. I can find news anchors repeating the crappy CDC guidance, but they clearly cite the CDC a

On the flipside, it can definitely portray a quality on the item - it's not just a $300 knife, but a $300 knife that Jim picked out, and Jim window-shops knives when you walk by his desk. Because Jim picked something he knew about, he

You can answer these questions yourself, though, can't you? Masks worked the same at the beginning of the pandemic as they do now, but the government did have terrible messaging about masks being (potentially) more likely to infect you

Japan did aggressive contact tracing (which people actually respect) and there is already a mask wearing culture - people already wore facemasks when feeling ill. In the US there was a plan to send free cloth facemasks to every household th

Who is enforcing that the product on the shelf is the same as the one you looked up, and not a visually identical counterfeit? Or do you mean "no regulations besides trademarks and copyrights"?

You also have to factor in that there's a chance of OTA failure, and the failure probably requires a mechanic visit at the manufacturer's expense.

It's certainly more than just templates, but it's also not the whole hairy c++ - it's C + templates, RAII, and namespaces. It's less template metaprogramming and just templates to generate efficient code - stuff used to
