Not the poster, but as a Christian, no, I find the idea of the Bible being taken literally as rather surprising, and a rather recent invention.

Just on the face of it, there are 'books' in the Bible meant as history, books meant as 'self-help', despondent mullings on the meaning of life, a love letter, personal recountings, letters written to others...these are all kinds of authors and approaches here, and so it strikes me as silly to take all of them literally. I mean, Jesus is quoted as saying "Go tell that fox", when speaking of Herod; there is no other mention of Herod being anything other than human. Clearly, if the Christian message is to be taken as truth, it shows that God is able to speak in metaphor (as well as interesting translation differences; for instance, the word for 'day' in the creation story is a word with a number of translations ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom )

So, how do things that seem antiquated apply now? Well, some parts of it -are- antiquated, in that they were meant for a specific time, and not now. Chesterton had a number of beautiful assertions in his book Orthodoxy, to the effect that Christianity is necessarily paradoxical, because -people- are paradoxical. To take that here, from my perspective (and there are many) morality can be both absolute and relativistic; what is 'good' is absolute, but what is treated as 'good' at a given time is relative to that time. You know that slavery is evil, but could you go back 4000 years and convince people of that? No. You would just alienate them, and likely get yourself killed. But you -could- convince them to at least treat their slaves better. You could design a moral code that would in time lead to them stopping slavery, by just introducing the idea that slaves are humans, with rights. If we credit the idea there is a God, and that evolution is a thing that that God uses, then the idea of allowing a moral idea to evolve into a fuller fulfillment of itself, over time, as people think, and talk, and develop, is an unsurprising thing for that God to do.

As to stoning adulterers, and a number of similar things; don't misunderstand what was a legal code with a moral one. Yes, it was influenced by morals (same as our own law is), but the punishment was a legal code to be adopted by a people, and was a symptom of the time. No Christian but the most fundamental would say we, now, should adopt stoning as the appropriate punishment for adultery. Interestingly, the Bible makes it clear "the wages of sin (is) death", but that that's a moral issue between man and God. Any actual judgement indicated to be carried out between men is toward a legal system, and its rationale is much the same as our own, to prevent people from doing it and/or to allow for carrying out some semblance of imperfect justice (since flawed man judging flawed man will necessarily be imperfect).

Similarly, many of the Old Testament rules were particular to the context of the time, and can only be understood in understanding the culture at that time. For why not wearing a diverse set of fabrics, have a look here - https://www.gotquestions.org/different-types-of-fabric.html
Alaska Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service from Pittsburgh to Seattle (2017)
I lived and worked in Edinburgh for 2 years working as a contractor for an engineering consultancy, I had to eventually leave the UK because my visa was going to expire.

They were so desperate for skilled engineers in Scotland when it was suggested I could keep working remotely they jumped straight on it. I'm now working 100% remotely for them in Canada.

As others have suggested getting yourself into the contracting market in London and then going remotely can work if you're a developer with the right skills though it may be slightly slower then trying to find remote work first.
By "roads", do you mean "USian roads"? By "multi-modal nature" do you mean like they are in India, China, Singapore, Turkey, Brazil, Columbia, Kenya, Egypt, etc.?
Check out www.moonlightwork.com

Saw them on www.indiehackers.com, think that might help you!
It may make you feel dirty, but get on LinkedIn and connect with a bunch of recruiters. This is literally what they are there for. My LI feed and inbox are a constant stream of contracting opportunities in London, and a (small, admittedly) percentage of them are remote.

(Of course, they're no use to me, as I'm very happy as a mostly-remote startup CTO, but these opportunities are out there.)

Contracting tends to be something that's hard to break into but easier once you're there - what people want to see on a CV is previous contracting experience. So even if your first gigs aren't remote, they may help you in the long run.
Is that adjusted for time spent?

I would say that you're more likely to have an accident on a scooter than a bike but it's less likely to be more serious.

Kind of like the difference between being tripped while running and someone pushing you off a bike. Your body has a better chance at protecting itself in the former case.

It does exist in the real world, although it can sometimes become obfuscated by government regulation and intervention. Example: Entering the pharmaceutical space to produce cost-effective generic medicines in order to steal market share from the big pharmaceuticals is hard because of government red-tape.

Using capital as leverage for political influence is not a central tenet of capitalism. You can be a capitalist and remain entirely outside the political realm. Some capitalists are known to use their capital for expensive philanthropic ventures or to support candidates who want to raise taxes.

Why did you ignore my comment about tax revenue and spending, by the way? That was the meat of the post.

A fish doesn't know it's in water because it never experienced anything else.

Can we imagine anything other than the system we live in?

I suppose we can imagine small adjustments like higher or lower taxation, more or less regulation, increasing or decreasing subsidies for different groups.

But that's like slightly changing the temperature or salinity of the water we're swimming in. It doesn't help us imagine what walking through air would be like.
That's not what "commoditized" means. You don't make your name and brand with a commodity. "commoditize" means making lots of suppliers so there is no producer profit in the market for the commodity.

When you shop at Amazon, you don't buy shipping from whoever's cheapest, Amazon provides the shipping via a complex logistics system interfacing with external partners.
When I was there a few years ago, gas scooters and motorcycles appeared to be banned. Only police rode gas motorbikes. There is a definite trend to get away from a bike as soon as one's prosperity allows. It looks really dangerous to ride in most of Beijing. The Chinese have been working on e-bikes for a long time now. They were not numerous when I was there but if they have improved since then I would believe they could become popular.
Yes, this. A lot of recruiting goes through LinkedIn.

Well what makes me uncomfortable about this type of data being decentralized is that I want to guarantee a delete or edit. To do that on a decentralized network you need to have a way to guarantee that those edits propagate to machines that you do not control. Is there a way to ensure this?

I'm a digital nomad who as in the same position. I couldn't find contract work for high-skill engineers. So, I started building a marketplace for it. Today that's Moonlight - we are still small, bootstrapped, and growing, but we have companies ranging from startups to a publicly-traded company hiring through the site. Hourly rates average a little over $100US.

I don't have children yet so I'm probably way out of turn when I say I like the "be home for dinner" method after a certain age.

Sometimes we'd come home scraped up and dirty, but we'd be okay. My mother was about 10 feet away when my brother broke his arm.

It's just such a game of chance. It's probably best not to train for fear, though. (as a general philosophy, not addressing any anecdotes here)

Not only is what you're saying irrelevant to my point, you're wrong. "Log ins, shopping baskets" do require a notice if they are persistent, which almost all of them are. Looks like you're the ignorant one here.

Don't throw out 'all economist' argument when its not true. It is simply false the all economist believe in the marxist notion of automatic capital centralisation.

There is also little evidence that economiclly freeer country are more unequal or that have a lower share of wealth amoung the poor.

> It's not clear that this method has ever worked on a scale larger than a kibbutz or cooperative, but it's also clear that most families are run as communes, though this is rarely discussed.

This is actually not rarly discussed. Capitalist thinkers like F.A. Hayek and Adam Smith did actually think about these problems quite carefully. Sadly people like him are simply ignored by much of the leftist marxist crowd becuase they are just evil capitalist handmaidens.

If you read Adam Smith two books 'Wealth of Nation' and 'Theory of Moral Sentiment' it is quite clear how he fought about this. Hayek made this into a more coherent theory.

As you abserve amoung familiy and friends (evne in tribes) we do not engadge in property rights and trade. The problem is that humans devloped in these communities and to attemed to scale the same way of thinking and organisation to a macro society is impossible because of information and insentive problems.

Hayek makes distinction between micro cosmos and macro cosmos where in the small you would not want to run it like a market, but it would be equally damaging to attemped to apply the micro cosmos rules to macro cosmos.

In fact psycology has made it perfectly clear that humans simply do not have the intellectual capacity to relate to millions of human that they don't know in anywhere close to the same way the do to the humans they know.
I have an Inboard (do not recommend for several reasons) and have been considering the Urb-E for a while, but also looking at the Lithim Cycle Super 73 bike. What do you like most and least about your Urb-E? I have gone to their store in Pasadena and test driven one - super fun. I’m still considering the bike for sheer practicality purposes, and also I feel like the Urb-E has a bit of this old-person walker look to it that I can’t shake off.
The issue with Dat, Mastodon, SSB, Diaspora, etc. is that they do not solve the problem of who's running the servers. They give you the tools to easily sync and migrate data that can back a social network, but you still need a live machine to host the files. These systems don't specify how to find those machines and how to compensate the people running them. The result is a cobbled-together list of servers posted on project web sites as a "temporary" way for people to get started.

Cryptocurrency could potentially provide an avenue to compensate anonymous storage providers for storing encrypted data backing a social network. A well-integrated system could give users the one click to join experience you need to get wide adoption, without forcing them to think about who runs their server.

This is what Blockstack and many other projects are trying to do (I don't know about Blockstack in particular, it didn't work when I tried it a couple months ago and the founders seem to grandstand a lot).
Further, if you want to read the Bible end-to-end, consider a chronological Bible. It organizes passages into when they occurred in time, for example in the Old Testament there's overlaps between Kings and Chronicles; in the New Testament there's overlap across the four gospels. I find it much easier to read long-form with that organization.
The spec for using DNS is in the process of being written up. Beaker is already using the .well-known part of the spec. See https://github.com/pfrazee/DEPs/blob/e391a04d9a96ddaf3e5a6fd...
I recently started posting about this here: http://www.breakintoconsulting.com

My basic advice is: become a visible expert in the space by starting a blog, posting articles, and go to meetups and speak. Then, start with your network (old jobs and coworkers) to look for work, and expand out from there.

The good news is there is a ton of work for javascript developers right now, so that’s one advantage you have.
Its worse when you consider accessibility. People with poor motor skills find using it infinitely worse when your UX depends on fine motor skills.
This is a good point in general and about the PC in particular, but it is totally wrong about Netscape.

The complement of a web browser isn't the web servers, it's the OS--and vice versa. So, Netscape tries to commoditize the OS, and MS commoditized and destroyed the browser market, and then nearly themselves with antitrust.

Also, Netscape was initially free in the early days, but had become a product which cost money until IE came out and was free. The plan was not "free browser". (Read Ben Horowitz's book...)
I'd agree with this, and take it further: if there is any person or group of people who stand to gain something by destroying freedom or democracy, you can assume they will do so. To repeat the quote commonly misattributed to Thomas Jefferson, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
>People use social networks because they have been artificially forced into society as a near-necessity

I mean, I don't think my mother chats with her COPD support group or shares pictures of her grandchildren on Facebook with our relatives because society has artificially forced her to do so, but OK. I guess she's just a slave to the machine, then.

> That they use them does not mean they derive value from them.

It kind of does, though. Social media is just an umbrella term for platforms that allow integrated, multimedia communication between a network of accounts. All other valid and legitimate criticisms aside, people find value in social media because of the people they network with, and because social media platforms tend to be more user friendly and accessible to the mainstream than were forums, email and telephone.
While you cannot say for certain that a particular call is coming from a robot, being a major network you can make a very good guess. E.g. when the same origin hits every number with a caller ID in that number's exchange just block that origin from your network. If there is a legitimate reason for this - they will contact you immediately and sort it out. Bonus point - spammers will hit the competitors networks with more bandwidth and force even more people to consider switching.

The current situation is the one, which requires cooperation of the whole industry, actually. It's a prisoner's dilemma in the sense that the first one to implement anti-spam will gain a temporary advantage but eventually everyone will have to implement it and keep up with the spammers who will be finding new ways to circumvent these measures. As it stands now - nobody gains advantage and nobody has to spend money on anti-spam and lose revenue from spam at the same time. As little as it is, taking your $70 and $0.05 from spammers is a lot better than taking your $70 and zero from spammers.

This is just tech rebranding of a really old concept. There are mountains of evidence of this strategy being employed back as far as the industrial revolution. I don't know why, but this sort of crap really brings out the eye-rolls. Maybe it's the fact that this information is widely and freely available, but NIH syndrome makes people feel like they've discovered some new and novel concept about the world. And then you get big-ego personalities who spend massive amounts of time congratulating each other about it.

Like when Peter Thiel starting talking about his novel strategy of explicitly trying to not compete with others and aiming for a monopoly. You can find that explicitly described in complete detail in any ordinary marketing textbook in the chapter titled Market Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning. But for months people couldn't stop talking about how Thiel was a genius for this new idea.

I get the whole concept of XKCD's lucky 10,000. This is different. This would be like taking credit for inventing mentos and coke bombs just because someone hasn't heard of it before.

Yes.

Isn't paying "cash" for a car a just shorthand for "money up front, no credit cards or loans"? I don't personally know anyone who's taken $20,000 cash into a dealer for a car, they all pay by check which is still allowed:

It should be easy enough to put together a flycheck plugin for emacs users. I'll post a comment here when I'm done if you're interested.
The operational support you note is definitely something that should be evaluated, but if there is a "hard no" policy in place that is a negative indicator about the engineering organization to me.

Generally having a small number of implementation languages in use shouldn't be an issue. In fact, languages are tools and some are better suited than others to certain uses. If an organization supports products of even modest complexity odds are multiple languages and other technologies are required in order to make it work properly.
I concur. All I'd really want actually is a rugged watch with a a) reliable beacon, b) timer and c) possibly limited texting function (which could function as an alert) - in order of priority.
Android phones have apt? Or is it just Termux?
You can’t guarsntee that with any service. Even if you trust the website to delete it, it can still be cached elsewhere.
This is a huge deal. It smells a lot to me like Cambridge Analytica, but even worst.

>The service can find the whereabouts of almost any cellphone in the country within seconds. It does this by going through a system typically used by marketers and other companies to get location data from major cellphone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, documents show.
Global address service could be namecoin. Message storage / forwarding / encryption could be secure scuttlebutt.

Personally I see no reason to make global addressing mandatory -- could be optional for those who want to be globally findable. Otherwise, use ssb pubkey as identifier and only connect with immediate FoF network.
what i don't understand about stuff like this (and honestly typescript as well) is if there aren't definitions for type schemas then this doesn't work right? like none of these tools will introspect or something and figure out which types i really mean without me annotating with some kind of crazy sum/tuple type definition (e.g. foo() -> Object{a:b,c:d} or whatever it is in typescript). maybe i'm wrong and there's something different here?
This doesn't bum me out at all. Looking at the headline examples given, they all seem to move tech in a better direction. If more of the trivial things are commoditized, then more effort goes into competing on the things that matter.
