> Why would you take this part metaphorically, but insist that God have literally created the world in 7 days?

There are a few schools of thought about this, but three popular ones are:

1. The creation story is a different genre. It's a poem, not a historical account, so you can think the Bible is absolutely true while allowing for poetic license in these chapters. The genre shifts back to history later in Genesis (with various opinions on where that is, some saying one creation passage of Genesis is poetic, the other historical).

2. The word "day" is mistranslated. It's better translated as "era". As in "back in the day". So Genesis is describing seven prehistoric eras.

3. Since the passage also refers to sunsets and sunrises, it's literally a rotation of the Earth. But God is omnipotent, so it's fine.

...and there are a few other competing thoughts. Do you have a scientific problem with any of the ones I listed? Other objections are fine, too, but I'm mostly trying to show how science and biblical literalism are fine together.

The usual objections to #3 involve carbon dating, fossil records, etc., but none of them really refute the creation story as much as describe the world that already exists. Why couldn't God have created pre-decayed isotopes and a fossil record? That's a metaphysical and/or theological question, not a scientific one. So we don't really have a scientific conflict here.

In my mind, God could have easily tweaked input parameters (to, say, make sure Earth has oceans and continents) and "JIT recompiled" the universe like so much source code. Why didn't Genesis describe the creation process more specifically? That's, again, a theological question, not a scientific one. But, practically, how would you describe, say, writing software, to a literate ancient Egyptian Jew (i.e, Moses)?

monoids are perfectly parallelized. map/reduce are built on top of that.
This is a philosophical question as much as anything else, but I believe that, whether we are successful in perceiving it or not, there is such a thing as objective right and wrong as distinct from social acceptability. I'm hesitant to say anything about how people should pick romantic partners, but it seems to me as though that is actually rather considerably narrowing the scope of what we're talking about. I do think it is wrong to intentionally seek to form an ethnically homogenous group of friends and associates.
Ask HN: Is it freqency illusion or is my phone listening?  Can we test it?
I have noticed on two occasions that we had a conversation and within 10 minutes, the phone displayed an ad about that conversation. Both ads could be explained by using a mosaic of other factors and just getting lucky that we just had the conversation. In neither case did I search for the topic recently, and in one case, never before:

1) A friend was over and he suggested looking at tungsten wedding rings. I had no interest in tungsten and just listened to him. Never searched. 10 minutes later, my now wife had an add for a tungsten wedding wring. On one hand, I'm sure FB can easily figure out that we were about to get married by our searches, but neither of us had looked at tungsten wedding rings.

2) Last night we were watching an episode of ballers and they mentioned Zika. We had a 2 minute convo about how that was a big deal 12 months ago.

I picked up my phone 5 minutes later and the first ad on Instagram is from the CDC about Zika.

Obviously it could have been listening, or it could have just triangulated the wedding date etc. and served the ad.

I'm curious if there is anyone out there researching this or who can definitively answer whether phones are listening or whether this is just frequency illusion?
It's a big enough application, I'm sure some people have issues with it under certain workloads.

I'm the same as you however -- I've never had issues with iTunes performance. I don't love the design, I'm glad they're simplifying it, but it always performed better than Spotify for me (which is the main reason I switched actually; I found the Spotify app to be terrible).
I get that, and I understand why they used Electron. But given Electron in this instance is basically a browser for Trello for all intents and purposes I don't see the point of it.

> I still use iTunes 10.6.3 because it's the last version with Miller Columns on the top, playlist folders (with a Library view), a miniplayer that I can use to fast-forward, and sync.

None of these features have gone anywhere.

Columns are still available as an option in the Songs library view. (Check the View menu if you're not seeing it.) They aren't available in the newer sorted library views like Artists or Genres because those views already have some form of filtering "baked in".

I don't believe playlist folders ever changed. They're certainly available in current versions.

The mini-player has changed a bit, but you can certainly fast-forward by pressing and holding on the forward button, or by dragging the playback indicator.

Sync… I'm not quite sure what you're referring to here?

>> used it for personal use (costing you nothing)

> This unfortunately isn't true. It costs a LOT of time and effort to maintain the build infrastructure and the Caddy project itself, even if its users don't make a profit from it.

Yes - it is true.

The incremental cost for every additional Caddy install is 0 (or, as close to 0 as you can calculate for bandwidth charges).

So ... no. It does not cost you anything for an additional user to run Caddy. It is a sunk cost for any given new development - whether one person runs it, or millions.

But instead of realizing this, you've now put-off a vast swath of potential users.

Bad form.

I'm glad Paul is still writing essays. It seems it has dropped off in frequency, this essay kind of hints at one such reason for that. I hope he continues to write even if people disagree with his ideas or if they are repetitive.

Primarily, for me. My folks pay ~$150/mo in sum total of taxes, electricity, etc. (no more mortgage now, so large caveat). Their neighbors, in the exact same house plan, who paid ~$950k, most likely pay ~$4500/mo. My folks have nothing to say to them, they live in totally different worlds despite being neighbors. The neighbors on the other side are pretty much meth-heads, but the trust scheming makes their monthly payments a bit more than my folks. Imagine that, you pay ~4.5k/mo, two hours out into the 'burbs, and then 2 doors down is a literal crack-house. Prop 13 just distorts things so much, it destroys neighborhoods by freezing them.

A reporter apparently tried to talk to one of the drivers and they refused to acknowledge his presence: https://twitter.com/AdamTuss/status/894627339891609602
"they just needed people to believe wholeheartedly they were using one."

Don't they mean "seeing one" instead of "using one"? Or am I missing something?

"fill in gaps where we currently communicate via subtle gestures, eye contact and other less obvious mechanisms."

This also struck me as odd - do pedestrians and other drivers really make "eye contact" with drivers to gauge their intention? I guess it's possible, but in many cases you can't see the driver's head, let alone eyes.

Which is great, if you're theorising about why map/reduce work or trying to recreate it from first principles. I don't think many of us are trying to do that.
It was helpful for me. I don't have a CS background and I have been coding javascript for around 4 years now. There are a ton of other devs who don't have a proper knowledge of basics. If you are well versed then you can skip over to the next section.
As someone probably not too ideologically inclined to agree with you, I'd ask you to post a link to what you've got anyways, and I'll make an effort to read it. I can agree that facts and hard data and research usually don't have the kind of effect we would like, or at least not right away. But I think we have to believe that the truth will come out and win out over the long term if we all keep at it long enough. Call it faith maybe. We can either give up and be a bunch of monkeys constantly killing each other over what amounts to nothing, or we can work for something better.

The cool thing about algebra is that it lets you reuse concepts and computations between elementary arithmetic and a wide range of abstract or complex structures. It's probably true that most programs use only very simple monoids, but look at e.g. this article to see how composition of monoids can be a very powerful design pattern in functional programming.

Obtaining proper credentialing, networking, being able to work long hours under pressure, and articulating what clients want to hear via impressive power point presentations and spreadsheets.
It sounds goofy, but this strikes me as really clever. Compared to almost anything else with self driving cars adding a few indicators to outwardly show what it's going to do next (for pedestrians and other drivers) is a huge win.

There is a fair amount of waving for someone else to go first at a turn, seeing if a driver is distracted (on their phone) at a stop, making eye contact while using a cross walk etc that gets lost with SDVs.

Also, I really feel like they stole this idea from Raid 2 https://youtu.be/ErrRhXItBWc?t=118

> Facebook really is exactly the same kind of monopoly as AT&T.

Ma Bell was really two monopolies -- long distance and last mile. Facebook is equivalent to the long distance monopoly, but that's the easy one. Federation and interoperability dissolves it.

The last mile is sticky because building a last mile network is very capital intensive and the cost is predominantly per mile rather than per user, so having two networks that each serve half as many users doubles the cost per user, which is very inefficient and creates a natural monopoly. There is no equivalent to that with Facebook.

How would Israel benefit from a stable Middle-East? I'm of the impression that Israel would want perpetual instability in order to prevent the Arabs from uniting and destroying the Jewish ethnostate, and that's why they orchestrated the war on terror.

Funny that you mention Napoleon, he was allegedly funded by the Rothschild banker family as were the British; they funded both sides. It seems to me that Israel is doing the same thing now.

One barricade to discussing this seems to be the word "antisemitism". Right now antisemitism is a very broad term which includes anti-Zionism, being critical of Israel, disliking people for being Jewish of race, culture, ethnicity or religion, and goes up all the way to "gas the kikes". It even includes things like talking about "blood libel", which is a misleading term in itself because there have been proven cases of Jews killing goyim for ritual sacrifices.

I'm personally against discriminating on the basis of race or ethnicity, but I deplore the idea of any culture or religion being above critique. If a culture or religion tries to tell me I can't talk about them because they are so oppressed, while they are themselves disproportionately wealthy, influential and perhaps also intelligent... that's not being oppressed, that's a manipulation tactic only afforded by those already in power.

Lately I've been trying to understand the relation between Israel, US foreign policy, Zionism, Marxism, feminism, the concept of "isms", and the Jewish faith, especially the Talmudic branch. It's a... noisy thing to research, lots of angles, ill-defined terms, lots of misinformation going around. Forgive me if I got something obviously wrong.

If you think my beliefs are inaccurate on any of this stuff, please help me develop them by helping me to some better sources of information (or perhaps techniques on better historic research). It's hard researching this and my time is limited.
That's true, and people who understand and value freedom and understand how bad those things are still don't have freedom as the same priority as, say, usability: there's less use of free platforms in 2017 than there was in 2006.

And the article introduces a whole lot more concepts, such as homomorphisms in order to be sufficiently interesting. I don't say that you can't build interesting stuff on top of monoids (I have several colleagues that are doing just that), just that the concept of a monoid by itself isn't very interesting or deep.
Bell's Theorem: The Quantum Venn Diagram Paradox
This is really quite common. I read an article about a car in Pittsburgh where a driver was similarly disguised in order to research specifically other peoples reactions to driverless vehicles on the road. In the article I read, I believe it occurred in Pittsburgh, PA and the researcher was affiliated with a university (maybe Carnegie Melon?). The reporter was able to speak with the costumed researcher just briefly, but got a more substantive statement from the org doing the research.

This isn't even the most elaborate market-research stunt I've seen.

Some of you older folk may remember an 80s sitcom called Small Wonder, which was a typical American suburbia family sitcom, except the youngest daughter, Vicki, was a robot. What I found unusual about the show was its copyright message: "©1987 The Small Wonder Joint Venture". In later years I found out that the show was produced in part for market research purposes, to solicit feedback about how Americans might feel about robots in the home -- especially robots that look and behave like humans. It was the 80s and we all thought that was coming Real Soon Now.
