It’s very unlikely you’d become a pastor with just a BA. The only normal cases where that happens is in rural churches, or if one goes back to their local church. Otherwise, the trend and job requirements for an Associate/Assistant Pastor is a Masters of Divinity or the pursuant of during employement.

Theology is just looking at the Study of God, god, or gods, depending on your schools background and faculty. If you go to an interfaith program like Harvard’s it is very different from going to study theology at Liberty University.

Masters of Divinity is the study of the actual execution of the faith organization, that be a Church if Christian, Temple if Buddhist and etc. That’s covers from Theology, Nonprofit taxes, Counseling, and more.

It doesn't work like that. Every assumption from a reasonable person that hasn't had cynicism seared into them through experience would make the same conclusion about the world as you do, but, well, here's a reddit comment that explains it better than I ever could:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OneY/comments/7elhvu/men_at_work_wo...

> Men, most men, arent afraid that they dont know how to treat women with respect. Which every single comment to the article suggests men dont...every fucking one. [...]

> What men are worried about is how can they interact with women and KNOW that there is no way they are going to have to defend against a sexual harassment accusation and lose their careers. Thats the question men want answers to and thats why suddenly even crack-pot [Vice President] Pence makes some fucking sense.

> Which is what the NYT couldnt bring itself to say. Because even if it did, it knows theres no answer.
Agreed. I'd throw nginx into that cohort as well.

Not quite. The railroads were given the land at a price - they had to carry mail for the government at less-than-market rates. That continued until World War II. If you consider that many of the land grants were around 1870, that was 70 to 75 years of carrying the mail at less than cost. Then, during WWII, the federal government was desperate for revenue, and they let the railroads buy their way out of the existing deal.

The land wasn't just "granted free" to the railroads.
Yup, in that case, definitely.
We already had the "simple, just lick some vomit afterward" post, so there's really nowhere else for this thread to go.
Our policy is to avoid cleverness - think "code golf" - that is going to be opaque and hard to reason about at 2AM when things are on fire. We don't shy away from language features, but if you have a PR with multiply-nested generator expressions, for instance, someone will usually ask you to unroll that into a set of explicit loops.

Agree, NPR is not very biased comparing to others but it is still very biased once a while, I used to listen to NPR each morning in the car, these days I can only listen to classic music radios or audio books. I gave up on finding any true neutral media outlets totally.

If I really need know something, I will read from a few left and right websites to make my own decisions. After a while I now feel Reuters are close to be unbiased, though I'm not 100% sure still.

Not to mention the fact that this can lead to easing the tremendous suffering of the people of North Korea. South Korea is an exciting country that is accomplishing some really cool stuff, and it would be great if the residents of the North to get a chance to participate in growing their prosperity instead of forever starving in a totalitarian nightmare.

The only significant thing to change was Chinese enforcement of US-led UN sanctions (which the US has been introducing before the UNSC for years)... And is more likely due to North Korea's overt militancy in the past year.

The South Korean attribution of credit to the US should really be seen as part of the larger goal of detente, and not an independent analysis...
Similarly but subtly different: you can also look at things that matter to people that are more or less common. Theology majors probably have more uncommon important values than business majors do. So it should be much easier to find a non-business major with matching values for business majors, than it is for non-theology majors and theology majors

Moderation is psychologically more difficult to adhere to than explicit prohibition. Most drivers routinely exceed the speed limit, but they rarely jump red lights.

Religious laws have lots of "thou shalt not", but rarely any "thou shalt only in moderation". The laws of kashrut are incredibly inconvenient, but they're remarkably easy to follow in practice because they're absolute - either a food is kosher or treif, with no middle ground. You don't have to exercise judgement or restraint, you just have to blindly obey a set of well-documented rules.

Fad diets like paleo are ostensibly irrational, but they're a good fit for human psychology. Counting calories is a minefield - it's too easy to slip up, too easy to deceive yourself about the size of a portion, too easy to nibble at something while you're cooking and forget to count it. A diet that says "don't eat grains" might be theoretically sub-optimal, but it's easy to stick to and much more resistant to self-deception.

Exclusion diets also front-load the burden of self control. If you don't buy any cookies, you have to get into your car and drive to the store if you get a craving for them. If you've got a jar full of cookies, you're relying on pure self control to eat only one rather than scarfing the whole lot. They're always sitting there on the counter, tempting you to break your diet.
I was just about to comment on magic and pokemon cards! Maybe even baseball packs. All could be traded for real cash, and obviously were! It's such a grey line though, the original intent of the cards is to not be traded around for cash, but be used to play games or simply collect (without the intent to sell) and be enjoyed.
To be frank, I'm glad the world is cracking down on the digital forms of this, I think it's a bit corrupt-- explicitly targeting minors with considerably less self-control. In my opinion, it's right up there with apps that use in-game currency gems/coins that you can purchase with real money; because kids targeted by that game audience often don't understand the repercussions on such activities. I think there needs to be a very fine line drawn where a child cannot make a digital purchase, even if inadvertent. Regardless. It shouldn't be a "we suggest you set up parental controls", literally the device should be locked down from entirely preventing such behavior and must then be overrode by an adult.

"Personally, I don't understand why people who have skills that are marketable in virtually any city in the first world"

Because, in reality, there are only a handful of decent cities that offer a plethora of jobs, interesting ones at that. Sure, a bunch of techies could move to Columbus, but there you have worse weather, more sprawl, fewer job options, and for those who do want to start their own company, a dearth of VC money.

This. When I was a kid in California a quick trip in summer and it would be carnage on the window and grill. Now I can drive for hours and not get a single bug. Part of this could be increasing traffic. But it is really dramatic and scary.
A lot of people thought that was a huge mistake. After the wall fell there was also a democratic East Germany for 2 years (?). I think a lot of people would have been OK with keeping them separate for a while but chancellor Kohl wanted to put his name on history and forced the reunification.

I wonder if this would also be a use case for foundationdb. All the "clustering" would be built-in and performance seems to be quite good (https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/performance.html), although probably not comparable to redis with configuration that accepts data loss. Anyone has experience with that?
Sure, but Redis is also fast, versatile, and very easy to run which is why so many gravitate towards it. It also has a much larger ecosystem compared to any of the other options which makes it more productive.

The fintech industry is generally years ahead in performance but most companies will trade those solutions for easier dev/ops.

Several of the current top comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16941770 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16941603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16941307) explain why this makes sense. I very much appreciate the parent's explanation of why, however sensible it is, one might be sceptical of this result.

From my perspective, the point is that it's often very easy to come up with a post hoc explanation of why the effect you see is the one you would have expected; and, had the numbers come out the other way, there probably would have been just as many people who could explain why that was the expected outcome.

The power of statistics is that it abstracts away from what should be or what we'd expect to what is, whether it is intuitive or non-. The price paid for this power is that it's very easy to ask questions that seem reasonable but aren't, so that one gets an answer to a precisely defined, rigorous question but misinterprets it as an answer to a possibly ill defined, less rigorous question; and that, to me, is what the parent comment is forcing us to remember.

I agree some frameworks enforce good design decision but none can guarantee it. That's my argument here.

There are good frameworks in PHP too and not all PHP code is garbage.
This will seem really controversial, but it's the truth, hear me out for a second: You don't get to decide how MUCH you eat! I know this sounds crazy, but it's absolutely true. Every living being whether it's a human or animal takes in precisely the amount of calories that the body says it needs.

here's the mathematical evidence: Over a 30 year period, this intake has to be incredibly precise. In 30 years, you take in about 22 million calories (assuming 2k per day). Now, if you're off by even 5%, say 1m calories then you would gain or loose 300 pounds!! (at the well known 3400 calories per pound) The vast majority of humans and even animals, don't count their calories, so how can they eat exactly the precise amount of calories to be able to sustain roughly the same weight. The reason of course, is because while you may not be counting your calories, your body certainly is, and counting them much more precisely than you or I can. IT adjusts the amount of calories you consume to reach the target weight. Now that target weight is decided by your body's set point - YOU can not change it. If you're body tells you to eat, you must eat. And you can't just trick it by eating a ton of super low calorie spinach.

Now, you may be able to reduce your caloric intake with sheer willpower, for a day or a week, or a month or even a year. But, the body will always be trying to compensate for this. And unlike you, who will grow weary of fighting this war, biological processes don't get tired. They fight and fight just as effectively 1 year later, 5 years later or even 20 years later.

Try this experiment: just once, try to eat half the lunch you ordinarily would eat. I bet you can't do it. Just try it. And if you could do it, you would quickly realize how miserable the rest of your afternoon would be.

Everything we've done: trying to reduce our caloric intake to excessive exercising as far as loosing weight is concerned is sort of a hack. What you really want is to reduce the set point. Once you reduce your set point, loosing weight will be completely effortless. If you look at all the normal sized people, all the epdimelogical studies show: they don't excercise more and they don't eat better, their bodies simply have the correct set point.
Voting differently would be the obvious one. This sort of thing’s very much political.

Six figures in the rust belt is the life. I live in a beautiful historic home for a tenth of the cost of the ones shown in the article. I can afford to have my wife stay home while our kids are small. I'm dumping close to a quarter of my income into retirement savings despite still having significant student debt. I'm close to family members to help with the kids (a problem for my childhood friends who fled to the coasts after college.)
People talk about amenities being better on the coasts, but I'm an hour from downtown Chicago, which is easily the second-most spectacular urban center in North America. Plus I'm close to great weekend destinations like St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Nashville. As for outdoor amenities, I'll put the great lakes up against any other region of the country when it comes to natural beauty. Western Michigan has some of the nicest beaches in the country. It's one of the many hidden-gems of the flyover states. Yeah the winters suck in the upper midwest, but they also end and the summers are spectacular.
>Most confounding to Munro and his team was the body construction of the Model 3. "This car is the heaviest body-in-white I've ever seen," he said, calling the construction "ridiculous" and highlighting areas where Tesla needlessly added weight with things like excess metal flanges and overlapping layers of steel. "This adds weight without value," he said.

Optimizing structural design is hard. There are plenty of examples of talented young engineers with lots of budget who can make a really clever and strong design, but it will frequently also be overengineered and far over weight or cost for its design purpose. An infamous example would be the Juicero juicer[0]. It takes a lot of experience and knowledge to make a highly optimized frame or structural component.

I like how the author doesn't immediately reject orders if they have just one sign (IP address country different from shipping country, shipping to a reshipping center, etc.) but looks at all the indicators as a whole to make a decision.

There's technically some ability for parents to opt-out of the delivery of the blood spot to the state, by written request before/during the delivery process.

But that's so discouraged, and the normal process is so automatic and hectic, that it's very rare. Few even realize the blood-spot permanent-collection is happening.

There was a proposed bill in 2015 to require signed consent before the collection, but it was defeated. See very end of:

Came here to say this. For the first time, in the last 6 months China properly put the economic screws on North Korea. They shut down the border markets and routes and also banned North Korean sales of coal, seafood and textiles. They have made token gestures after previous nuclear tests and such, but this was real, consequential action. Also Kim recently returned from a rare train trip to Beijing. If you want to understand what's going on, follow the money. Yes North Korea has improved a bit economically in the last 5 years or so, but China has finally made it crystal clear to Kim that the show is over.

I went to check if that was the case for scientific journal, and I was shocked to see how easy it is to see full-text of a retracted article. There are "RETRACTED" tags scattered about, but it's still easy to grab a page of bad text. I'd expect the whole document to have some sort of marking on every horizontal line or as a watermark.

They are iterating and optimizing the hardware rapidly treating it just like software. And pushing out versions that work fine to improve stuff later. It’s as if the car is communicating the Silicon Valley ethos with its seemingly random features that are simply optimized towards something that can be shipped ASAP.

I'm not a lawyer, however I know that anything of value like this that is found on public land can have some complications, and if the land is private that's another whole ball of wax. If it is Fenn's land and he's living still, no problem obviously. If it's not his land and his other statements are true then the landowner doesn't know it's there.
There is no argument, "information" is a "thing", by definition.
Same, no way we're using a fork while the main project is still actively maintained and putting out great features. The added value of built-in SSL doesn't even justify losing half the value of using the main project.
The criticism is the removal of the original article. Any correction should be in addition, not removal of already published content.
It's just a strange way to look at it. Intel's naming convention is more honest and closer to traditional measurements and of course each marketing dept. will choose to say they are the best in the world across all processes, regardless of whatever the competition calls their feature size.
Agreed. Re-write the story as it should have been done. Then do an additional article that walks us all through the process, what was changed, and why. Not only would that be transparent, it would (read: should) give more people a better idea of what (real?) journalism is (or should be).

Perhaps redact some of the original to avoid legal issues. That makes sense.

Welcome to the age of "the un-article"?

That aside, I'm surprised / disappointed there's not a better CMS to handle such things. Couldn't / shouldn't - within reason - news articles be more fluid, in the sense time exposes more facts, etc.? The static story model made sense for print. There was no other choice. I would think technology could do better at this point.
