I tend to think you're right that "God" (in the general sense) is not falsifiable.

But, as a Christian, and someone who studies the Bible daily, I can say that at the very least, the God of the Bible is falsifiable.

For instance, if you could prove any one of the following statements to be true, the Christian message would fall apart (and indeed, some of these are even called out in the Bible as essential to its message). If you want a roadmap to debate Christians, here you go:

- Jesus Christ never existed as a real human being.
- Jesus wasn't "sinless" (according to the Biblical
definitions of sin).
- There exists at least one other person than Jesus who
has never sinned.
- Jesus wasn't crucified by Roman soldiers at the behest
of Jewish religious leaders.
- The resurrection of Jesus didn't happen.
- Jesus' mother wasn't a virgin.
- Jesus never actually claimed to be God.

Many falsifiable propositions are made in the Old Testament, too. These may apply to Judaism as well, though I claim no particular expertise in that religion other than where it overlaps Christianity. Proving these propositions false would go a long way to discrediting the God of both the Old and the New Testaments:

- The Genesis account of creation.
- The Genesis account of a great flood.
- The Genesis account of the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah.
- That Joseph interpreted a Pharoah's dream and became
second-in-command of Egypt.
- That Egypt never had a 7-year famine which they
survived because of storehouses of grain.
- That Egypt never enslaved Israel.
- That the plagues mentioned in Exodus never befell the
Egyptians (notably the plague of the firstborn).
- That Israel didn't walk across the Red Sea.
- That the Egyptian army wasn't drowned in the Red Sea
in pursuit of Israel.
- That Samson never existed.
- That Esther never existed.
- That Esther wasn't a queen who saved Israel from
genocidal annihilation.
- That Ruth never existed.
- That Jonah never existed.
- That Jonah never preached in Nineveh.
- That Jonah was never swallowed by a whale/fish.
- That Daniel didn't serve in the court of the
Babylonian/Medo-Persian empires.
- That Daniel didn't accurately predict hundreds of
years of political wars and intrigue in the Ancient
Near East before it happened [0].

There's lots more than that, of course, but it's a start. In short, Christians believe in taking the Bible at face value. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of claims which the Bible makes which are definitely falsifiable. Claims of particular events happening to particular people living in particular places at particular times. There's nothing stopping you or anyone from falsifying those claims.

Not to do your job for you, but consider that there are several ways to do this:

- Discredit the Biblical story's internal consistency.
- Find contradictory archaeological evidence.
- Find contradictory, reputable historical accounts.
- Come up with valid textual criticisms.

... and I don't believe that's even an exhaustive list.

Good luck and Godspeed! ;-)

Its about 75mg of caffeine per 20 oz of cola, so even at 60oz you’re not doing yourself any harm. While I don’t drink soda, I’d much rather drink 60oz of diet soda than what I see dozens of people drinking from Starbucks. Unless you’re popping No-Doze along with your cola, you’re not even approaching the potential harm of drinking a frappe’d sheet cake.

If they rest on their laurels, become lazy, and try to take a shortcut they will surely lose.

I gave up pop a while back. I never drank coffee so breaking the caffeine addiction wasn't too hard after the three day hump. Also, because I would normally drink pop in the evening I get better sleep and actually feel better/more energized than I did when I drank caffeine.

My thought behind quitting was that there was no reason to be caffeinating myself every day. That way when I do need extra energy hopefully my tolerance will be lower.
> It argues that inequality in society projects from the structure of family relations, but nothing was spoken about those relationships in the small being any different for their historical examples of egalitarian societies.

That's the sort of substantive point we're looking for in the first place!
> It works perfectly fine with things other than space.

Cool, sounds like a really robust idea. Let's try some dollars or semicolons, then. I'm sure the next shell will be happy. (I don't even think that this is Make's biggest weakness. I can usually get along with that, as long as I get to choose the filenames and don't need any fancy strings otherwise. It's just a testament to what a poor programming model macros are).

> Text files aren't really any more fragile than any other way to tranfer the state

It's not about plain text files for transferring "state" (e.g. a list of fixed strings), which work fine for many cases and do have considerable advantages. This is about combining a cryptic shell language with a lousy build system macro syntax and semantics.

> This is why the GNU Make has a fantastic manual, I suggest you check it out: https://gnu.org/s/make/manual

As I wrote many times, I do actually know Make and have read much of the manual. Can't you believe me?

> It still gives you a standard interface that packagers and users would expect for build software

Believe me, packagers are indeed able to run a python script as opposed to only a make script. (Yes, if my intent was to have a software packaged by independent maintainers, I should add a "clean" routine as well. And offer some knobs for compiler flags - but this is already veering into fragile land, since the developer can't know what unexpected compiler options package maintainers will come up with).

> What integration do you want that you had in your silly hand written one?

Now I can't parse this sentence, but I sense that it's not a polite one.

> You can either construct a macro to do this or you can just give the data space delimited to python and change the spaces to commas there.

Oh, come on. I do not want to put in so much work (it's not a one-time thing - you have to do that every time you transfer a list) for such a poor, fragile result.

> Surely you know how to do it with python so why are you insisting on doing it with make?

I do not want to mess with Make at all. This should not be news.

> You also require your own library.

You can easily replace that with csv or json (both will be more robust than Make), or just put the data as literals into the python script, as I stated. My script is not intended as a finished thing for other people to use. This should not be news, either.
population density ("urbanness") correlates with crime rate.
"Big" and "walkable" do not, as far as I know.

I think this is the real solution. Instead of giving people useable, client-side filters, we've let companies push us to using shitty, broken website filters so that they can control the flow of information. Client-side filters work great, and they are how we generally solve these types of problems with other communication methods, and do so relatively successfully.

Wealth inequality seems a meaningless measure to apply in retrospect to societies which had no material wealth. Even if these groups were materially egalitarian (i.e. everyone is poor by modern standards), I doubt that there was real equality. The fact that some men would have reproduced with multiple women while others did not reproduce at all is an example of this.
You make some good points, the problem with 3D Printing houses, shotcrete and some of these other methods is that they cost less in the US where labor costs are high and more in 3rd world countries where labor costs are lower (at least for the types of homes things like this are trying to disrupt).

A really interesting alternative approach is earth bag building. It uses locally available dirt as a material and would generally work out to be even less than the brick building price you estimated.

Here's a family putting up a 30' diameter building out of earthbags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Xl8f2J3sY&t=130s

It is _very_ labor intensive and as you said, it needs time to dry between courses.
"Having never lived in a truly big city I don't really understand why would anyone walk to anywhere, as such more density necessarily means more traffic".. Ok I filtered a bit with what I actually understood... still, you should try living in a really big city, preferably outside of north-america and see what "walkability" really means in it's natural environment.
On the other hand, a big part of nonviolent resistance as preached by figures like Gandhi and MLK Jr. is acknowledging that your actions may get you detained by a civil power. You'd be relying on the arbitrary, capricious, and in your view reprehensible nature of the charges to sway public opinion and stoke outrage.

It's not good advice if you are an individual who just wants to avoid the inside of a prison cell, and it's definitely dangerous, but I'd still admire anyone with the strength of character to follow through with it.

It's also terrible advice in countries where the preferred solution is simply to murder loud activists. At least you can theoretically be released from prison.

Gamma is alive and well on pretty much all displays.
Density means access to more things/people with the same or less resources (walking is significantly cheaper than driving). That's what freedom is.
How do you tease them out though? The walkability guys are talking about making living spaces denser, after all.

I wonder how long it would take to clone a phone and give back a ringer with some extra software installed. It's not like most people know the serial number of their phone. And if the phone's in a case, then put the ringer in the target phones case, and it has the same look and feel.
Most of the problems of the Internet are mimicked in real life. That's why I don't think "real identities" would solve much, to be honest. Before trolling, for instance, there was the art of the prank (some harmless, and some downright mean -- just like trolls!), and the term "rabble rouser" seems to date back at least a couple hundred years. Some people in real life interact with others in rather toxic manners, in one form or another.

I mean, you get toxic behavior even on something like Nextdoor, where you pretty much know it's the neighbors across the street. Technology has just made things more convenient -- social media removes any curation, and technology also has made some means of harassment much easier to execute.

Myself, personally, I avoid social media that encourages toxic behavior (which usually means, smaller, special interest type sites; social circles that you know; etc.). This involves some degree of moderation or self-selection.

I don't see a good way around limited moderation for Reddit either, which is unfortunate in that it is hard to moderate something that size well (it's usually inconsistent and often arbitrary-ish).

That has always been true. Most of Beijing’s heavy industry was actually moved out before the 2008 Olympics. But they are running out of places to move them, northern china, especially Hebei, has a serious pollution problem that is drastically worse than Beijing’s.
You can make an argument that it's the only one that succeeds when pitted against the other models in the market. Micropayments have been tried and haven't yet succeeded at the necessary scale. Paywalls have had only very limited success. Ads are the only thing we've so far found that can scale a site to the level of Google or Facebook.

This is both a problem and an opportunity.

One of the major factors that keeps it relatively clean is that user registration costs $10. That's a strong financial disincentive against trolling, bots, etc.

I am no expert but I do live in China. AFAIK China's greatest air quality issues are deforestation, desertification, a growing number of cars and the size and concentration of its industrial base, which essentially manufactures for the world. I don't think it's fair or useful to relate its pollution management to that of the US, which has never had the population density, rapid gentrification or scale of industry that China has. Anecdata follows.

A German professional I met recently in the air quality monitoring area (responsible for the development, specification and deployment of sensor platforms for international clients) reported that the trucks you often see driving around China spraying roads and air with water are actually a highly effective means of reducing airborne pollution. I had never seen such an approach until China. The same person told me that even in the capital of New Delhi, many cities in India have air pollution so high it's literally off the charts - as sensor values are unreliable at such high concentrations so nobody actually knows how bad it is.

Whereas, in Shenzhen (which is considered relatively clean but often has uncommon industrial pollutants) the air is often so bad I get asthma-like symptoms (constricted airway) despite no history of asthma, ten minutes after landing, almost every time. I stopped cycling when I realised this was happening after cycling to work, again almost every time. Still, there's many clean places in China (it's a huge country!), things are improving and there's many good sides to living here, but consistent air quality isn't one of them. Some days it's lovely. Most days it's tolerable. Sometimes it's "don't open any windows" and visibility drops from kilometers to meters.

It needed a new name because it has a new recipe and flavor. Despite what indications you might get from the seeming random duration of shelf lives depicted on drink "best by" dates, sodas can easily spend a year or more in channel. So there had to be a clear indicator of whether you were getting the old or new drink.

As far as Apple's offerings: no idea. The last Apple device I used was an 4th-generation iPod back when that was the new thing. Coming from a desktop-power-user background, iOS 4's UX was extremely offensive. So is Android's, by the way, but at least Android's horrid UX cheaper.

Technicalities:
1) the S Pen's sensitivity is much closer to the image. Microsoft Surface, in contrast, feels and appears about 1/4" above the image: that causes me to mis-write a lot since I feel the stylus at a different location from where the drawing is being applied. I don't know about you, but I don't write with my pen/pencil/stylus straight up 90 degrees from the surface being written upon which is the only way I could reliably use a Surface for writing.

2) the Galaxy Note 2014's resolution is higher than the Surfaces I've used even though it's on a smaller form factor. That means that the image simply looks sharper.

3) the S Pen uses a different tech so that the Galaxy Note is able to recognize the difference between my fingers (or my palm) resting on the tablet's surface vs the stylus writing whatever's being written.

4) Both of the Galaxy Note 2014s I've used have had a battery life of about a full week from a full charge. It does depend on how much you use it, of course, but typically it's about 4.5 days, dying right at the tail end of Friday. That's with writing notes for about 2 or 3 hours during every workday. Contrast with Surface 3 and Surface Pro ... one had lasted a day and a half on average while the other lasted about 10 hours.

5) S Note translates my handwriting with about a 90% accuracy. But OneNote translates my handwriting to literal garbage text for about 50% of the time. When it doesn't translate to garbage text, there's of course the common typos from thinking I->l->1 B->0->O->o->D->etc (which S Note also has trouble with, but not as much).

Opinions:
I absolutely despite Microsoft's and Apple's OS offerings these days. I don't like Android, either, but it's the least hated of the three. I use Windows 7 at home for games but otherwise Linux the whole way. Linux allows me to actually customize the UI the way I want; when it doesn't, there's the good ole' command line.

I've found the S Note app to be fairly intuitive and straightforward. It's really easy to export notes to PDF or email, eg to share with coworkers. If you can get around OneNote's shitfest version of OCR, I'll admit that the rest of it pretty intuitive. I really didn't care to learn (yet another) different way of doing things though.

If I had _one_ complaint about the Galaxy Note, it's that I have yet to find a way to have it require Active Directory to unlock; so if that's a requirement then ~~your company sucks~~ you're SOL for using it at work. If someone knows of a viable way to login to an Active Directory account on Android, that'd be awesome.

I also have to say that I actively use Google Play Books. Good luck getting that to work on Surface or iOS outside of ~~Chrome~~ a browser; I never could anyway. If I have to log in to a site using a browser and use the browser to use the site instead of using native apps, then why not just use a Chromebook?
