If you're a theist who believes in a "god", sure, you can believe whatever you want, including that god won't punish anyone.

But for Christians, we are convinced that the Bible is true based on evidence and reason, and therefore can only believe what it teaches. For Christians, the answer is simple: everyone has sinned, God is just, and must punish sin. Lack of knowledge of God is no excuse, for everyone knows that God exists and everyone has rejected Him. No one deserves to go heaven; no one can get to heaven by anything they do. The only way to heaven is through Jesus, by trusting in Him as our only hope of forgiveness and salvation.

That is why we must go to the ends of the earth, from the largest cities to the most remote islands, to share Christianity with everyone we meet, often giving our lives to spread that message.
So the author joined the CIA in 1951 and "spent the next 24 years working with the Directorate of Operations." [1] That means that he probably participated in some of the disastrous covert operations of that era. [2] I don't know if that makes him a trustworthy authority on intelligence analysis.

Intelligence operations are extremely high risk. Failure of an operation does not mean the ideas behind it were incorrect. For example, the analysis was correct but the execution botched. There's many moving pieces here and it's a huge leap to discount the writer purely based on that.
Related specifically to the pig and our relationship to them, the book Lesser Beasts (https://smile.amazon.com/Lesser-Beasts-Snout-Tail-History/dp...) is a great read.
When using Go's stdlib http.Server, there is no need to explicitly w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) if one simply uses the Write method on the given ResponseWriter — 200/Ok is the implicit default that is set if no status has previously been written.

e.g. Instead of:

io.WriteString(w, "Hello, World!" + "\n")

One can do:

w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!\n"))

And then the previous call to w.WriteHeader can be removed.

Additionally, one can also remove the explicit setting of the content type also, and it will be autodetected — although this detection comes with a minor cost, so one may consider this decision to be optional.

See https://godoc.org/net/http#ResponseWriter for more info.

This book is a classic. I've read the whole thing several times and found it to be thought provoking and helpful. The author gives you tools for "explicit cognitive processes" to aid analysis of complex situations.
I would leave off the months on your resume so that it doesn't look like a gap.

Or, put "2016 - Present," and then if they ask about what kind of notice you need to post, say "oh, I actually don't work there anymore, woops, I forgot to take off the 'to present' on my resume, thanks for bringing that up."
That works when you call the scripts yourself, not so much it's scripts calling other scripts.
I should possibly have qualified your original 'lost' phrasing, but my point stands.

Yes, value is created, but money isn't, by the actions you describe.

If I 'value add' the ingredients of a sandwich, and then sell it to you, you still have to surrender (or lose) money.

Any sale of goods or services ideally involves both parties determining that the transaction is favourable to their interests -- but it's impossible to avoid the fact that the buyer will have less money as a result.

This isn't a bad thing. Arguably a strong indicator of the health of an economy is the agility of money / wealth within it. But your original observation was:

> But what I didn't understand was that mostly we made money when other people lost it.

... and that's an ineluctable outcome of any financial transaction.

I would highly recommend getting a cheap certification rack from Amazon once you get better book knowledge (CCNA/CCNP Collab, Wireless and Routing and Switching) to increase your knowledge 20x. When I did not have my own hardware there were just so many questions and things I wanted to do that were very complex or not possible to do with training simulators, books, etc.

With the high quality managed switches you can see how your apps can affect the network, integrate your work with network connected devices, automate network devices and many more things that wouldn't give you as deep as an understanding when using an unmanaged network (e.g. create your own software that runs on routers, switches, VOIP phones and linux servers).
I read one chapter of this, and it seems like a reasonable ambition. However I have to ask -- Do they do any research at all on whether teaching these methods actually results in greater thinking by any objective measure (be it IQ, analysis, whatever)?

This must be the standard to be taken seriously. Anybody can wax on about how to avoid systemic biases, but it's my understanding that the research shows studying biases doesn't remove them.
> every time in history where voting has been restricted to "people who can give positive evidence for being 'responsible citizens'"

When has this ever happened? We've already agreed that race is irrelevant to responsible citizenship, so a country that said only white people can vote is not following the rule.

I don't think Heinlein's point is that restricting suffrage to responsible citizens has been shown historically to work, so we should go back to it. I think his point is that it has never been tried, and everything else that has been tried hasn't worked.

> The system the US has now is not universal suffrage.

That's true in the sense that you have to be eighteen or older to vote and not have been convicted of a felony, and you have to have registered to vote, yes.

> We've seen the highest rates of elections won that do not match the popular vote.

So "universal suffrage" doesn't just mean "everybody gets to vote", but the votes have to be counted a certain way?

> The majority of US states are dealing with gerrymandered districting that verges on ludicrous.

It is impossible to have districting that is exactly equal, with each and every district having exactly the same number of voters. Would anything short of that meet your requirements for "universal suffrage"? If so, what?

> election results are unreflective of actual US demographics.

How so?

> It's time to consider fixing US democracy

It seems to me that there is no possible system that could actually be implemented that would satisfy your definition of "democracy".

Hey man, don't shoot the messenger. It was a saturated job market, we "should" doesn't really apply.

A candidate already local is more likely to accept, there's no chance our client would have to do relocation, no need to worry about them not liking the city or whatever. More reasons to reject such a candidate than bother calling them.
Huge red flag. Put for the last job "2016-Present," and then if they ask about it, say "oh, I actually don't work there anymore, I need to update my resume, thanks for pointing that out." If they ask when you left, be honest and say "yea I must have missed that bit, it's been "to present" forever haha."

Moral approval and disapproval are concepts Hume and others developed that are separate from morality itself. In a terrible description, it's how our emotional response influences whether we view it as moral, rather than any reason based analysis of the action.

So I'm pretty sure he's saying art and science are unable to feel emotion, and the events of the artists' life are too recent to judge him purely on his art.
> the link was that Bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan and the government there tried to protect him instead of handing him over.

Describing the faction of the Taliban that for a brief period gave Bin Laden sanctuary as a "government" seems like an unusual way to interpret the term government. It is the equivalent for us of having some bandit hiding within some cult in Maine or Kentucky and us describing that cult as the government of Maine. Also, as others in this thread have pointed out, those Taliban offered to handover Bin Laden if evidence was provided convicting him of the crime. It is interesting to compare our level of "conviction" of blame for some sets of people and willingness to accept collateral damage to civilians who happen to be around them, but when it comes to our own, even despite blowback and high levels of culpability, we deny the equivalence and block judgements even from UN courts.
Swap your job title to "Designer, Front End Developer." Or leave it as "Designer," and then in the description, put something like "performed front end engineering duties such as..."

All you're trying to do is get on the phone. Make sure your frontend skills are hot hot hot, you gotta be able to back this up. Throw an open source projects section on there and list your title as frontend engineer for those, whether they're personal or free work for the city or something (find volunteer civil hack meetups).

Right. Everybody understands that not every topic is in practice approachable with the sort of level of rigor we use in, say, particle physics. But we are still people who have to live in the world. So everyone has a variety of heuristics they use to deal with topics that are not as tractable.

That includes you, of course. What studies do you have that show that demanding proof of causality in casual conversation is effective in improving the discourse? None, I'm guessing. But here you are doing it.

> You _could_ make this have an indistinguishable customer experience.

I don't really see how this could work. the first issue is getting the pricing information from the drivers. are they willing to set a flat per mile rate, or are they going tailor fares on an individual basis, after browsing the currently requested rides? the latter would make it impossible to just compute a price from querying a db; there might need to be multiple rounds of bidding before the rider and driver could settle on a price. the former case would not be quite as complex, but uber would still have to ask the customer how they value wait time vs. price or decide for the customer.

i personally like the model of bidding on rides, but most people use uber/lyft because it's as simple as opening up the app, committing to a ride, and hopping in after a few minutes. i don't think it can work that seamlessly if every driver sets their own (possibly complex) fare scheme.
Foreclosure procedures do depend a little on jurisdiction (ie judicial vs nonjudicial foreclosure states or both), but even within those non-recourse states you link to, lenders can in fact come for deficiency judgements between the balance of the loan and the fair market value of the property.

You can find many articles about California, for example, where they will say someththing like “in California, in most foreclosures banks can’t go after borrowers for deficiency judgement”, but it’s misleading. California has both judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure, and judicial foreclosures allow deficiency judgments and nonjudicial foreclosure generally don’t. So why don’t all lenders go for the judicial foreclosure and for the deficiency judgement? Time and Money! It simply takes longer and costs more to go the judicial route and why do that if you ultimately can’t collect from the borrower?

The thing is the banks/borrowers have so much data, their automated systems are pretty good at knowing if they will likely be able to collect enough to cover the extra cost of the judicial foreclosure in which case they go that route and then for the deficiency judgement. Once they have that they can garnish wages, attach accounts, etc...
My kids are almost ready for phones. We've already got one 2nd hand SE, and once they start actually using data we'll put them on our mobile providers "tablet" data-only yearly plan, 24GB for $100. At ~$8/mo that's pretty reasonable, and plenty for basic text/image usage. If they start streaming and burning through the data, they can pay for that themselves.
Thanks for the recommendation - that does look very interesting indeed! I will find myself a copy and have a read. Hacker News book club comes through again!! :)
actually not having logs is a great thing for legal reasons. If you are in the USA you are not required to keep logs for a service like this so I would not keep logs if I were you so that you don't get tied up with legal issues. At worst they make you shut down your service.

> That way if the script fails it doesn't leave things in a broken state with "output" appearing to be up-to-date. Perhaps a replacement for "make" would incorporate this mechanism?

GNU make has ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" for this.

But yes, make is quite horrible if you want reliable incremental builds. For example, $OLD_VERSION of your software generates a file $output/plugins/stuff.so, and $NEW_VERSION no longer does so, the file will stick around and the new version of the software will load an outdated plugin. This type of stuff causes weird issues that disappear on the next fresh checkout (especially during development, where the plugin ABI may be unstable). If a rule disappears, so should its output file(s) on the next build.

Why are there so many build systems that don't even attempt to handle this stuff? Surely we aren't the only project that uses glob patterns like plugins/*.so? You can't fix these fundamental design problems by using meta-build-tools that end up generating makefiles...

In order to avoid becoming a niche language nobody uses due to the network effects of C's ubiquity, and to achieve its goal of completely replacing C as much as is practically feasible, Rust needs buy-in and what economists call pre-committing. That is to say, it needs thought leaders to accept that Rust is the future and commit to building things in Rust, even when it doesn't make sense to do so in the current climate. Hence the heavy emphasis on marketing and RESF psyops.

I also donate to the ACLU, and EFF, and a bunch of environmental groups, and ProPublica, etc, etc. I am NOT saying we don’t need government.

Because you can’t usually put the genie back in the bottle without revolution once you hit that tipping point.
