> It's so difficult to find a church that (a) values community, and (b) hasn't made some kind of big, public decision against LGBTQ people.

What's a 'big, public decision'? The Bible is very clear that there is such a thing as sexual immorality and that same-sex relationships qualify. I've heard arguments that a long series of translation errors means that certain kinds of same-sex relationships are fine, but even so, the Bible does say there is such a thing as sexual immorality. I haven't seen a church that is fine with homosexual acts that also has a coherent position on those passages of scripture.

The only coherent position that's possible is that the Bible is just a good book with a lot of good ideas, but I'm not sure how to organize a community around that principle.

Let's say I put my foot in my mouth and hurt someone's feelings and need to apologize. There is a Bible verse in which Jesus said that we need to prioritize reconciliation over religious habits. If I thought the Bible was just a pretty good list of suggestions, I could easily ignore that teaching because <insert reasonable excuse here>.

That is to say, I don't really how to remove scriptural authority and still have a clear understanding of who God is and what that means to us.
Does anyway know if there's an easy to encrypt a docker volume in a dev environment?

So basically, I'd start a docker database container, it'd ask for a password and then decrypt and start the container and the database. When I shut down the machine and leave the office, I can then be sure the data in the container isn't readily available if someone breaks in a take the computer.
SEEKING WORK

Remote (Based in Baltimore, MD)

Get more users, sales leads, or customers at a lower cost per acquisition.

I consult B2B tech companies on customer acquisition. That includes inbound marketing, acquisition funnels, conversion rates, lead generation, marketing operations, and marketing automation.

Past and present clients include:

- NoSQL DB (one acquired by Apple)

- DevOps monitoring software

- Recurring billing platform

- Leading enterprise data science platform

- Mobile advertising platform

- Leading ecommerce platform

- And more...

Far more technical and effective than your typical marketer; I deploy code and enjoy talking shop with engineers, data scientists, designers, and founders more than other marketers.

San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami and Sheffield UK. Distributed team so REMOTE encouraged.

Convox (YC S15) is hiring support and system engineers to help us build out simple and reliable open source dev ops tools and platform.

The cofounders are ex-Heroku bringing tons of experience in dev tools and operations to share with everyone.

Interview process involves short hangouts to meet the team, then a paid contract starter project so we all learn first hand what it's like to work together. A take home contract is ok if taking a half day or day off is not feasible.

AWS, Docker, Go, and Linux experience will help for systems engineering.

Docker, AWS, SSL Rails, Meteor, Node and Postgres experience will help support our customers.

https://convox.com/jobs

Finally if you are hiring for dev ops experience I also suggest you check Convox out. Our team can help your existing team get the job done without hiring or building bespoke dev ops systems.

Sorry, it's morally bankrupt. Four middle class families spend more on housing than most Bay Area single-family homeowners. If it were legal for those families to live in a four-plex, they'd outbid wealthy families for that land. The wealthy pay cheaper prices by using the law to prevent people with less money from bidding against them. The wealthy can't actually afford the idyllic single-family neighborhoods they claim the right to without economic segregation laws.

Re: websockets/push, another thing you can do is run two frameworks side by side. A load balancer like HAProxy can be used to unify the two, if needed.

For example, at my previous job we used Django for our main request/response API and Tornado for our push API. Later on, the Tornado part was rewritten in Java. Given the Django experience of the team, this architecture proved to be easier to maintain than having to rewrite the entire API, since there were far more request/response endpoints than push endpoints.

Nowadays there's Pushpin, which I created after the above experience.

The balancing act is between "what I can do with my own property" and "what I can legislate to limit what other people do with their own property". Only the most libertarian would tilt almost completely in favor of the first, but I think that currently the balance in too many places is tilted far too much towards the second. And I would not hesitate to call it illiberal.

The premature death rate (drugs, alcohol, suicide) among white, midwestern women in the US is really interesting to me.

There are a lot of pretty convincing theories about male death rates and how they're tied to conflict, demonstrations of courage, and clear purpose. I'd never heard the Ireland result, but it doesn't shock me. Obviously some of this is gender-agnostic, like sense of community, but some of it doesn't seem to be; there's a reason that young, unemployed men are the largest risk factor for social instability.

Given all that, it's intriguing to see that what's going wrong in the American heartland is affecting women at least as strongly as men. A lot of the easy answers (unemployment, worsened employment, lack of education) are all things that have mostly changed to the detriment of men (they might be better or worse for women, but we care about recent change and that would imply declining results for men). So that drives me into suspicions that this isn't something we can handwave with "construction took a downturn" or "bad warehouse jobs" - there seems to be a broader anomie transcending those simple problems.

It can, but not if the government grabs control of resources and industries. Do you really think corporations would simply sit on their hands if government services and resources went away? They would respond by filling the demand.

I often wonder if we could develop software to make chord/harmony discovery easier when arranging a melody. At the moment it's down to a combination of knowledge of music theory, intuition and trial and error.

I'm talking about more advanced harmony constructions like Jacob Colliers work (check him out if you haven't heard)-

https://youtu.be/SM2nhLSeJXg

http://brightonjazzschool.com/jacob-collier-masterclass/

Harmony (and it's relation to melody) is a time based problem, you can't just join random chords together that match the current melody note. LSTM works for time series learning but I am not convinced it "gets" concepts of music theory, so maybe some kind of hybrid of engineered music theory features + LSTM with good training material could work
