Older Recordings Will Belong to the Public, Orphan Recordings Will Be Heard
The linked document is from 1992 (commissioned in 1986). However, I don't know when the ideas in this section became part of Catholic teaching. The Catechism assembled ideas rather than created them, they already existed in other sources (biblical or prior writings of the Church or scholars). Thomas Aquinas and others are cited in the footnotes so at least the core of the idea (that the Bible isn't meant to be entirely literally interpreted) within the Church dates back to their writings. However their acceptance (that is, whether the Church declared these ideas official canon or just valid non-heretical ideas), I can't say when that happened.

"Between the 1960s and 1990s, dozens of midwives were convicted on fraud charges for claiming that babies who were born in Mexico were actually born in Texas. Although the actual number of babies for whom fraudulent U.S. birth certificates were issued was small in comparison to those who were legitimately born on American soil, Brodyaga said the cases have been used by the U.S. government to cast suspicion on anyone whose birth was attended to by a midwife "
I think an important difference is how easy it is to deploy absolutely garbage software. It's just not as easy to make a million cars, or fix a million busted cars, as it is to distribute an app across a million devices, so there's less incentive to get it right when you can "move fast and break things".
Chipping will 'of course' be optional.
Yeah this is suspect though and without due process so I bet after a few ACLU lawsuits and a couple Federal judges intervening then this will stop.
Time and time again, the Next.js (and Zeit) team blow me away. The rate at which they release new, high-quality versions of their products is astounding, especially given how few people are working on this full time -- it's basically just Tim Neutkens, who's insane: he's constantly pushing updates, reviewing PRs, and finds time to be very active on the support channel.

We use a bunch of Zeit's tools (particularly Next.js and its static export feature) at Common (https://www.common.com -- we're hiring!), and they're consistently such good and reliable products (doesn't hurt that they have a sharp focus on developer experience).

Congrats to Tim and to the entire Zeit team!
Given how lightly white collar crime is prosecuted in this country, this makes me assume not that the law is draconian and unjust, but rather that there is more to the story than we're getting here.

I think identifying which fans are worthy of free seats is a very hard problem - particularly if using an online system.
I completely agree. I'd stick with Rails or opt for Elixir, Clojure, or maybe Go instead. I'm balls-deep in the Node.js ecosystem and the only reason I would choose it over Rails or the others is because of React + TypeScript. React is by far my favorite 'templating language' and TypeScript makes JS pretty decent.

Basically, if I can get away with it I'd go for Phoenix+Elixir, followed by Clojure/ClojureScript. If I can't, I'd go for Rails. If for whatever reason that isn't an option, C# or Java. Node inhabits this weird in-between world that doesn't offer quite enough of anything, and has some serious drawbacks.

I am actually surprised the Feds allow the stock to be traded on a US exchange. I would think that there may be some regulations on the money raised (e.g. during an IPO) and transferred out of the country based on their industry.
> If if it comes down to selling out 50% of a venue immediately and the other 50% over the next 2-3 months, or selling out 100% of a venue in one day, I imagine most promoters and artists would like that money now so they can utilize it.

If you have revenue figures to indicate that it's pretty much guaranteed you'll sell out your stock of something eventually, and you want short-term liquidity, you can just issue commercial-paper securities, and people will buy them.

No, not really. One of most influential early Christian theologians, Origen of Alexandria, wrote about Genesis

And who is found so ignorant as to suppose that God, as if
He had been a husbandman, planted trees in paradise, in Eden
towards the east, and a tree of life in it, i.e., a visible
and palpable tree of wood, so that any one eating of it with
bodily teeth should obtain life, and, eating again of
another tree, should come to the knowledge of good and evil
No one, I think, can doubt that the statement that God
walked in the afternoon in paradise, and that Adam lay hid
under a tree, is related figuratively in Scripture, that
some mystical meaning may be indicated by it. The departure
of Cain from the presence of the Lord will manifestly cause
a careful reader to inquire what is the presence of God, and
how any one can go out from it. But not to extend the task
which we have before us beyond its due limits, it is very
easy for any one who pleases to gather out of holy Scripture
what is recorded indeed as having been done, but what
nevertheless cannot be believed as having reasonably and
appropriately occurred according to the historical account.

More generally see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegorical_interpretations_of..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_Hades, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_literalism

And by the time of Augustine Christian teaching had become even less literal. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo#Views_and_t...

That said, as compared to the orthodox Christianity that came to dominate, there existed early Christian communities which interpreted biblical stories more literally, communities which interpreted them more allegorically, and communities which interpreted them esoterically. But these mostly died out in the first few centuries.
Why even comment if you don't like going places?
It's not.

Sure, the stock crossed $200 today, but it also touched $300 midday before it started to free fall and got halted three times in the last few hours of trading. If you bought in at the peak today, you lost 33% of your investment in about 2 hours.

Getting in to TLRY right now isn't investing, it's gambling. Nothing fundamentally has changed about the business recently (AFAIK), but the stock is up 80% just this week and 500% in the last month. Seems to me, the run up the last few days seems pretty much driven by FOMO.
I made an argument about this offering vs other offerings, not this offering vs rolling your own, which is a whole different issue.

It's incredible how many developers undervalue their own time, effort, and liability. I believe you're mistaken if you think this'll only take two hours of your time. Even if that's true, I believe you're mistaken that your two hours of time is cheaper than $9/mo. I'm also certain that being responsible for analytics sets you up for liabilities and maintenance that distracts from your main value proposition.

There's definitely a market for this, and that market is absolutely here, but apparently a lot of developers don't know how to pick and choose their battles.

There is a difference between "this is criminal" and "this might make you civilly liable to pay someone's wages."

I wouldn't trust a surface reading of one section of the regulations, unless you're a lawyer with specific expertise in New Jersey gambling law and precedent.

There could easily be other offsetting law, regulation, or precedent. There might have been a prior decision which effectively gave "written approval" to void future egregious odds/payout errors. There may have been "prior written approval" of the house rules allowing recision.

Regulators & the industry have a converging interest in a predictable business, without "gotchas", and with precedents that protect against other potential larger future errors.

I would bet even-money that Mr. Price, the bettor, is never paid the full $82,610, either as a private settlement or at the direction of any regulator or court.

A teacher saying "omit needless words", and even putting editing marks on the paper to point out what words are needless; and the same teacher converting the paper into one with the needless words omitted, and then grading the paper based on its now-failure to reach the required word-count criteria, are very different lessons. The former just communicates that the student needs to figure out how to edit their work to make it pithier; while the latter communicates that the student needs to use their words to actually say something.

Nowhere in public school is anything like the latter message ever taught.

I don't know Ruby or Elixir's way of doing this, but I assume it's not too dissimilar to in Haskell and I'd argue there isn't much ambiguity -- the spaces are enough to discern arguments once you get used to it, and if your call gets too large maybe it's time to consider binding the arguments so it's clearer what's being passed to the function anyway.

Same thing for implicit return statements, when they're implicit it just takes getting used to the fact that the last statement in the block returns -- I've never really had trouble reading code because of the lack of function call parentheses or explicit return statements but I guess in a language where it's optional it can be a bit more unexpected versus a language like Haskell where this style is encouraged more strictly.
Thanks! So did we.

I'll readily admit that part of the appeal of Phoenix is that it's shiny and exciting. But I'd also argue that it's much easier to defend switching from Rails to Phoenix over switching to Node.
Are there any plans to support SRI? It's a pretty big security risk to incorporate 3rd party JS onto all pages - if someone compromises your CDN account then they have full control over every site that's using this code.

This is one of the top ways that credit card breaches are happening lately - e-commerce sites include tons of 3rd party tracking / analytics / remarketing / etc code on their checkout pages, one of them gets hacked and the modified JS posts the credit card form to some compromised server.
Air gapping is often "good enough" protection for all but the most sensitive and desirable targets, even if people plug things into them all the time. An air-gapped PC might get a virus that way, which could be damaging in some way, but it's not something that most companies need to worry about.

A counter-example is something like Stuxnet; that likely leapt an air gap, but it was exquisitely targeted for that scenario. I'd worry about this as a nuclear component manufacturer.

"Insider knowledge" isn't illegal and they couldn't care less what the outcome is. They make money by attracting customers who aren't sophisticated. If they want to know what the "right" price is, they just look at the Asian books (they don't employ people to help predict outcomes either).

This is a simply ridiculous response. Geolocation is the least intrusive data that is being discussed here. By far the bigger offense is tracking an individual's health to ensure that the employee is sufficiently "healthy."

John Hancock may not be monitoring my location (although every mobile device already is) but by its own admission, it will be monitoring my activity levels, computing the number of steps I take (or whatever other health metric it plans to use e.g. heart rate) and applying some formula to penalize employees who are "underperforming" on their health "goals." Insurance is already an enormously intrusive industry and fitness tracking crosses the threshold of unacceptable conduct.
It would make the artists (and venues) more money, meaning that they could make more concerts and seats.
Yep you can create ambiguous nasty code like this. It's is clearly not expressing intent, so you would add parentheses.
A private bug tracker also means that Apple can use the same bug tracker to collect reports about devices or functionality which isn't available to the public.
It's not completely random, although I didn't fact-check absolute specifics like you did. What I'm going to do in response is fact-check long term trends, which was my point.

First site I checked shows that infant mortality in the US fell by about 50% from 1980-2010 (depending on category, but that's the trend in all categories). Someone did a paper on 1926 US infant mortality rates, and current rates are roughly 90% lower.

I'm not comparing to Serbia, or to last year. I'm comparing to decades ago. By focusing on trend rather than momentary detail, I'm seeing the positive where you're seeing the negative.

>Have you read Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens?

I have not, but a friend did recommend it to me earlier this year.

>His central claim is that the -isms are all just like religion, in that one needs faith to believe they exist.

I looked at my comment after reading yours, and realized almost everything I listed is an "ism". That wasn't intentional, but I guess it's also not surprising.

Somewhat on a tangent: In the last so many years, in various conversations, if I'm asked what I think of <insert random -ism>, I tend to respond "I don't believe in it." Or more nuanced "It has some interesting points". The problems I've had with -isms is that people are initially attracted to a particular -ism because something in it rings true for them. But then over time they start pushing things simply because they are part of that -ism - without critical thinking. I'd rather not be pushed into accepting it wholesale. They'll defer a little too much to leaders in that particular movement. Invariably, they'll unnecessarily believe something that is espoused by that ideology but may be in conflict with the world.

Along the same lines, I'm a bit wary of making any ideology part of my identity. As an example, many of my beliefs may coincide with what in the US is called liberalism, but I will never view myself as a liberal. It's totally fine to be liberal in some ways and not in others. I have my own identity, and it is influenced by many ideologies - but I don't want to add things to my identity just because I am partial to that ideology. And I definitely don't care if someone points out that some particular view I hold is not consistent with liberalism.

If you've read the book Influence by Cialdini, this is essentially guarding against the consistency principle.

> If you are an American citizen you can not be bared from re-entry, no matter how much they might want to do so.

OTOH, the government can just decide you aren't a citizen and decide the documents you rely on to prove it are invalid or fraudulently obtained, and they can do so at any time.

Historically, they generally haven't, but they absolutely can (and they've started presuming falsity for people born near the Mexican border in a wide time window and making them produce documentation that most people wouldn't be able to in order to prove citizenship, and ruling against them even when they manage to comply.)
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. If criticism is necessary, then might as well make it constructive.

Sure, the blockmetry site has some issues. The menu is unusable on my mobile (android) and there are no screenshots or explanation of how it actually works (server/client side, self/cloud hosted?). There are some style choices that I don't agree with, like the binary background pattern.

But I like to assume good faith unless I have some solid evidence otherwise. Do you know for a fact that there is no product? If so, please share :)

It is, however, poor form to plug your competing product in a Show HN. It's a fine line between mentioning and plugging, but I think offering a discount falls on to the wrong side of the line.

All these things can be pointed out politely.

Agreed. It is the "idiomatic" way of writing code in Ruby. I love Java but writing lambda expressions in Java with deeply nested parenthesis makes the code really ugly and less readable esp with chaining.

As far as I understand, Ruby style is writing the code in the most elegant way to increase readability and (hopefully) reduce chances of bugs.

I'm a Well's Fargo "customer" (more like a hostage) because they bought my mortgage from the local lender I originally went through. I have no legal way to stop being a Well's Fargo "customer" that does not result in direct and long-term financial penalties. Considering that they hold one of the largest mortgage portfolios in the US, I'd guess that many other "customers" of Well's Fargo are in the same boat.

I hate both Bank of America and Well's Fargo with a passion and the outcome of 2008 didn't dissuade my disgust at them. Unfortunately both hold loans from me that I did not initially originate with them.
It'll probably be ordered to stop.

Whether it will actually stop is...well, this administration hasn't been known for full and immediate compliance with other federal court orders relating to immigration and citizenship...
