> and I think it boils down to her not believing that someone can be "moral"

its interesting to note, that the concept of morality, is in fact, moored as a consensual hallucination as to what is good.

therefore, as an atheist, you might mimic a "cultural" sense of goodness; but since the intent is not from the same source -- you may not pretend to share it. Logically, you are immoral simply because you do not share the same inspiration. This is a direct consequence of "assuredness".

if you want it in mathematical format ;)

you have to look deeper than the act. Which is what, you are missing. It is not enough to be 'good' (as if some objective standard can be said to exist!); it is also important to be able to enunciate the impulse to 'goodness'; and further to assure the reliability of that impulse.

This is why atheism, is and always will be, a minority religion. You lack the one characteristic, that all other religions share. A framework.

That is not to say, btw, that organized religion is "better". As with everything, the intent and education/erudition of the practitioner, makes the difference in real effect.

> so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality.

... or self-interest/greed.
I would save the word propaganda for what it's meant to mean, and not for dissatisfaction in the bias of a platform.
It's already public. Ticker symbol AMZN.
I think what you mean is that classes are referenced by a separate namespace in Java and aren’t in Ruby.

That’s completely orthogonal to whether they’re objects or not.

You can keep fiction and non-fiction in separate bookshelves if you want but when you get either off the shelf it’s still a book.
Banks only hold some of their assets as central bank reserves, but solvent banks always have more assets than liabilities.

For a stablecoin to operate like a bank they would have to issue loans (loans are an asset to the bank to match the deposit created when they lend. A regulated bank also needs a certain percentage of owner's capital (paid up shares/retained profits) compared to how much they lend in case of delinquent loans).

A stablecoin just creating tokens with no backing would be fraud, same as if a bank just credited an account from nothing.
Still shallow.

We usually recommend avoiding deep checks because

(a) the concept of deep equality is pretty nebulous and hard to design in a predictable, precise way, and

(b) deep equality checking can be slow, often just as slow (or slower) than the actual rerender – in which case the memoization is only hurting you.

(If you want to do deep equality anyway, you can pass a second argument to React.memo to specify a custom comparator.)

atheists here are "theistic" atheists. they are militantly anti-religion, anti-god, claim this as a "neutral" position.

in reality, its just another religion.

true atheists, are like true feminists; god/gender, simply doesn't enter into the mix.

I enjoy the company of both; but not, their intellectual progeny. And neither, do they.
Your reasoning is kind of like saying we only need a 6502 and a large bank of ram because, hey, that is turing equivalent, and a modern x86 with the same amount of ram is turing equivalent, so it should be complete.

Imagine a perl program which asks the user for input. Based on the user's input, the perl program does "do a.pl" or "do b.pl". Hell, maybe the user's input is actually executable code that is thrown in the mix too.

Then the original program does "print $a + $b;". What should the rust transpiler do? Are they floats? Are they ints? Or strings? Do they have values already?

Yes, you could create a transpiled version that used hashes to look up symbols, and based on what the hash returned it would execute code to add two (boxed) ints, or floats, or float and int, or throw an error, but then what you've done is rewritten the perl interpreter in rust.

Not yet. I expect that it will be done in 2019 but can't give you anything more specific at the moment.
it's remarkable how stable bitcoin has been recently. It actually has less volatility than even tech stocks. The vast majority of people who trade bitcoin and other currencies seem to have very little (less than 10k or so) , so this is not enough move the price much. The only way bitcoin can go up a lot is if institutions and large funds buy it at once. Otherwise it's just stuck in a really tight trading range.
Aren’t belief and non belief two sides of the same coin? One fan believes his sports team will win, and another thinks they’ll lose. One person believes there is a Creator, and another believes there is no creator.
Let's explore religion for a moment and why it tends to hate atheism so much.

1. People who believe are threatened by those who do not. It is disconcerting to have belief systems attacked or ripped out from under you. "Those who are not us can't be trusted." Groups tend to passionately hate individuals who don't want to be members.

2. Non-belief has definite consequences in most religions. Conformism is a trait of religious people. Leaving is unacceptable to many. Muslim extremists have definite opinions about apostasy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy

3. Santa Claus is a good example. A kid is told about Santa. Presents appear. One day the older brother figures it out. He is told, do you want presents or is Santa not real? I think this is a microcosm of multiple belief systems. Remove the possibility of presents/rewards and multiple religions vanish in a puff of smoke.

4. It's an amazing coincidence that people tend to have the same religion as their parents and community. And this saves them from eternal damnation. What about the people who existed before the religion was created?

5. Religion has no monopoly on morality or virtue. Evidence has shown that religious people are quite capable of breaking rules. Multiple religions cite divorce as "a bad thing" yet plenty of religious people do it. Murder, theft and cursing still exist.

6. Validity of religion in general can be exposed by getting a religious person to explain why they would not convert to another. Their reasons increasingly become more difficult to defend. Remember that it is likely only one belief system is true and all others are false. And your religion was likely chosen before you were born. This is an awkward truth many don't want to discuss.

7. If you've read this far, please know that I'm not atheist.

Classes are objects in Java. You can even create new classes at runtime in Java or use java.lang.reflect.Proxy to make existing objects implement different interfaces.

I once did this in a class project, including even manually creating the bytecode at runtime. Ironically, it's probably the most understandable and maintainable of the crazy metaclass-style reflection I've done (although that's probably mostly due to the fact that the scope was much more limited: I was only mirroring a set of interfaces into a different namespace to work around some stupid limitation in a different library).

That's your point being addressed.

That's the definition of anecdotal.

Its not just personal experience, its an experience you've experienced personally?

Do I really need to address the bias of the news toward eye-catching headlines rather than sober analysis of real-life trends?
I've taken a look at the many threads happening here and a large number of people discussing the "worthlessness" of the having a stable coin because of the lack of volatility vs the USD.

I'm actually quite interested in the outcome of this, especially because of transaction fees for credit card payments are so high. For some places in Asia, Japan in particular has credit card transaction fees of in the 3.6% range and going up to 4.5% for international cards.

For businesses selling services in the $2500 range, just at 3.6% of this transaction becomes $90 in fees just for a single transaction. Which, I think, is quite high just for moving a digital asset around.

While the prospects of "trading" this asset might not be as interesting, the potential for far lower transaction fees for people running a business seems very attractive to me.
Mildly hilarious how Japan is a ridiculously safe place crime-wise and has pretty high moral standards and is pretty much entirely atheist. They visit temples because they visit temples and it's just expected that that's what you do because everyone does it ala being Japanese circular logic. The same circular logic is responsible for their moral standards.

Turns out it's not God thats responsible for morality, it's the existence and enforcement of norms by members of the community that is.
> and atheists in the USA seem to have some sort of uphill battle to be recognised as people who could be vaguely competent at anything.

If you are from the UK, what could you possibly know about the US? I'm atheist and have been since 12 or so. My parents are christian. Never had any issues like you described in my entire life.

Stop believing exaggerated nonsense from for-profit companies like the new yorker as truths. It's more clickbait fiction than anything.

Sure the US may be more religious than other countries. But there are plenty of atheists and agnostics and every other religion and non-religions around. And people get along fine.

Frankly, my perception of the UK ( which I've never visited but I've read about so that makes an exper ) is that the atheists in the UK are far more zealous and militant than the religious in the US. But I'm guessing I know as much about the UK as you do about the US.

I'm just saying that it's useless, and you'll gain more by actually changing your habits than trying to change society.

We all have to die of something. There's no shame in leaving early if that's how you want to conclude your life. I think about it every day. It just makes sense.

Expecting going to go for anoxia through helium inhalation, seems one of the more pleasant methods.

I've moved to the US from Australia, and the medical system here is pretty terrifying. People are always discussing "how to fix the homeless situation" here in San Francisco, but as I wander the streets I can't help but wonder how many of these people were bankrupted by a medical emergency.

> This, to me, is a perfect example of why healthcare should be subsidized by the government (either directly or through a government-backed insurance plan that you receive as a fallback).

Nah, this doesn't really work in the US. All it does is to funnel money into the coffers of the companies that are creating the problem in the first place.

There has to be some more regulation – companies need to be forced to be more transparent in their pricing, as well as to limit the markup they can add so they can 'negotiate' down.

And then, there has to be some competition, as in many places people have no alternatives. That competition could even be with the government itself, in the form of government-run clinics or hospitals. This works in Brazil – you don't have to carry any form of insurance whatsoever if you don't want to. For major issues, you are covered just fine – trauma surgeons in the public network are among the best (at least in big population centers), and are often the same doctors that practice in private hospitals. My mother also got top notch cancer treatment for free. The last one is more location-dependent though.

Even as a foreigner, should you get in a car crash or something, you'll be patched up nicely and not pay anything.

Now, if you got a non life-threatening issue, then it can be a problem, as even the big hospitals may lack resources for everybody, so your appointment may be scheduled far in the future. To counter that, you can choose (and most middle class people do) to carry private insurance and not burden the public network. Private insurance is then cheaper that it would otherwise be because there is an upper limit on how much they can charge you – go too high and many people will drop insurance and private insurers (plus hospitals and clinics) would lose customers.

The government will also provide essential medication for free (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc). It doesn't matter how high your income is.

It is really not supposed to be rocket science. If a third world 'developing' economy can do it, with a much lower economic output, then the US could do it too. But not if it's a <whatever>care program that's allowing companies to continue charging $100 for a band-aid.
> At some level, the law is like computer code.

LOL. This is so wrong, its not even funny.

Lawyers, are incompetent. If you haven't come to that realization yet; its because you haven't dealt with enough of them. It is -extremely- rare, even at the higher levels of pay, to get a lawyer, who actually knows the specifics of your case.

In a very real way, its all ad-hoc expertise. A series of one-off's you try, to get a compromise your client can accept.

> Lawyers know the ins and outs of this stuff.

I'm a huge ReactJS fan, but right now I'm doing some development with Django and plain old HTML/JavaScript template forms and I'm finding it incredibly easy and my general pain level seems to be lower. I haven't figured out why exactly.

How about.... test this new feature in an app. 2 days later you check and they say no bugs to report so far but still testing some scenarios. Then you realize you forgot to add a necessary file, schema update, etc. That means the person testing could not have possibly been testing as the code would have errored in the first few minutes.

You could put compressors next to windmills so that on days there is too much wind, you could start up the compressors and make dry ice, liquid nitrogen or some liquid air feed stock.

Cheap energy seems like the key ingredient. The compressor equipment to do the task seems within reach.

One could reverse the process and feed the air (de)compressor gas to make energy on low wind days. I'd be interested to know what the round trip efficiency could be. You could optionally use the compressed products as feed stock in some other industry. Perhaps use blocks of CO2 to make methane or a room temperature liquid gas.
Maybe you were using React for something that isn't highly interactive and thus React was adding more friction than utility?

So you're agnostic.

As an American, I honestly haven't run into this. I am religious, and most of my coworkers are religious, but we have had an atheist and an agnostic in our group (we're all developers) and it really didn't seem to matter. Religion rarely comes up in a professional setting, and it didn't come up when we did things outside of work as friends.

As long as you aren't aggressive against that which you don't believe, there really shouldn't be any problems. Most of the problems I run into are from atheists and agnostics picking a fight with theists. Treat others with respect and you'll get it in return.
I still think one could use a stackless clone(2) to get rid of the TLB flush when using threaded open(2). It would need to live without using the stack inside the clone however, and that's rather ugly to program.

A low tech way to do it is to use an upside down water bottle with a small hole in the cap. You can also buy spike shaped things that screw into the cap thread and are a little bit more stable.
The amount of perl (5) that relies on 'eval', and invoking the interpreter and compiler at runtime (in various degrees), is . . . . massive.

To claim that switching to a "traditional" compiled language would resolve those issues in the language that is perhaps the most comfortable with lapsing into "well, I can't metaprogram it, so just take this string/block/function-like of code and interpret/run it, tell me if it works, and give me the result" is hubristic to say the least.

None of that should be taken as condemning that tendency in Perl. I think that its tight interpreter/runtime coupling and feedback loop is what makes it uniquely powerful in many cases.
I think you are exactly correct, now I give it some thought.

When I do ReactJS I'm building much more powerful UI features. The Django stuff is just a bunch of forms and that is really easy to drive.
For the past three weeks I’ve been going through a flare up of an autoimmune neurological condition. It’s been terribly painful. The treatment is high dose IVIG or plasmapheresis. Unfortunately my insurer doesn’t want to pay. I’m told if I had almost any other insurer they would. This has left me trying to find out just how much I’d have to pay out of pocket for either of these services. But absolutely no one knows and no one will work it out for me. All I know is it will be somewhere between $30k and $60k from various guesses that have been offered.

Pricing in the US health system needs regulation. The best option would be all providers must charge the same rate to all customers. Then I could look up the price and know it’s been prenegotiated by big insurance companies.
I'm sure it's my bubble, but all the runners I know run with watches at least. Almost all of them use some form of GPS watches. It's nice to be able to go outside and just run, and not worry about routes when you want to do anything more than a few miles.

Not exactly.

What you see as the Class type in Java, at least, is simply a representation of a class. It can tell you about a class, but it doesn't represent an actual thing you can manipulate, change, or use. I can't add a method to that class, or add a field, or manipulate its instances beyond basic method lookup and dispatch.

In something like Ruby or Smalltalk, a Class is an object. It can be changed live, altered, adapted, cloned, or otherwise used just like another object; and the application will change its behavior accordingly, right there on the spot.

I'd recommend reading up on prototype inheritance, as that is the model generally used in the latter languages.
