It's been a while, but IIRC, the Bible only condemns homosexual sex specifically. The concepts of "homosexuality" and "heterosexuality" are modern inventions. Many ancient cultures (such as the Greeks) saw no conflict between their ideals of what we would consider "straight" sexuality and homosexual relationships.

And... it also condemns masturbation, marrying foreigners, eating fish, letting menstruating women inside the city limits and mixing fabrics.

Someone living in Biblical times probably wouldn't have any concept of someone being "straight" or "gay," just of someone following cultural norms or violating cultural taboos. So to say the Bible condemns homosexuality is a misappropriation of the intent of the text outside of the cultural and temporal context to which it was intended to apply.
Yeah, but they're already paying for hardware.
That would actually drive prices in the other direction. Pushing up the price to rent ratio on cheaper homes.

Low-income housing run by governments is infamous for its slum conditions.

"I have the sense that not many top pop/rock/rap musicians are able to recognize the impact of touring on family and leave that career."

There's a great doc called 'The other F word' where a bunch of famous and semi-famous hard touring musicians talk about the impact of their career choices on having a family. It's quite hard to watch at times. I appreciate this is totally off the watch making topic, but worth viewing if you're interested.
I agree, I'm definitely not a fan of the "Let's replace a simple and straightforward way with something that looks simpler at first but actually invokes a bunch of hidden complexity that's harder to debug and generates 10x more inefficient code. Why? Because that's the more 'modern' way." type of thinking I've seen from a lot of the "modern C++" advocates. They seem to be more interested in solving hypothetical or artificial problems that they themselves created, than the actual problem which needs to be solved.

Template libraries work well, until they don't, at which point you get many pages of confusing error messages containing absurdly long identifier names; and the cause is often something as simple as one missing, wrong, or extra character. Sometimes it even crashes the compiler...
New York City’s unionized workers are mostly minorities, for example:

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/04/nyregion/new-york-citys-u...

"White men account for less than one-fourth of the city’s union members, according to the study, written by Ruth Milkman, a sociology professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, and a colleague, Stephanie Luce. Fully 60 percent of all union members in the city identify themselves as either black or Latino; women who do not identify themselves as black or Latino make up an additional 17 percent of the city’s union members."
I am not one to doubt the impressive capablity of a hoard of highly motivated 4chan autists, but it does become a lot less spectacular of a feat if you consider LaBeouf was spotted in a Greenville, TN diner around the same time as the flag hunt was underway (which was twitter knowledge). I thought their triangulation efforts through driving around, beeping a car horn, and listening if the sound came through on cam audio was the most impressive part of their detective work.

How is this any different than filling a parking garage with trailers? There's just so much impractical about this. Any kind of open air "stack" would fail fire code horrifically if nothing else. Accessibility... Each floor needs ramps or elevators. You need booster pumps and PRV's so you get usable water pressure.

The price per square foot of mobile home is far higher than traditional buildings. This alone means we're probably better off with the pre-fab we already have. I can't see how this is economically viable on any way.

The closest were going to get is prefab building segments. Disney tried this years ago with their Contemporary resort. The rooms were all slid in from the sides and designed to be removable for refurbishment in the future. But Disney never did it because it's economically unviable

AAPL has to report quarterly revenues, or 4 times a year. Time will come for what you said in due time. Apple is valued close to a $ trillion so growth must be in double digits or else.

Sanitation, and sometimes (though certainly extremely rarely) infrastructure damage, as seen in the 2017 collapse of an Atlanta overpass. I don't think this is the best point to argue on, especially as it's arguing from extremes, but it's a point to consider if more examples crop up. I've heard of similar fires starting in Seattle, but with less risk since the're not being set near other material likely to catch fire.

I also don't think that you can group together /transients/ like who you describe and the /tent and tarp settlements/ that are prominent and overwhelming Seattle at this time. These only pronounce and concentrate the sanitary and fire risks, and invariably leave swathes of trash about them.

One of these tent settlements near Pioneer Square was in the middle of the city, not even near the highways, and gained some infamy and even a title name, the 'tent mansion', when it accrued a full keg. It's one thing to say we shouldn't hide problems, another to let a problem run so wild and concentrated that the surrounding area is made useless for other public use in the process.
I pay for The Times and find them quite good. I agree and disagree with their columnists in equal measure, but I see them as honest(ly trying). The Economist, on the other hand, I’ve ditched after many years. Not worth it anymore.

They are poor because they don't make enough money. And they can't arbitrarily move, because they can't find jobs just like that, or afford another place, just like that.

As I understand it, the cost of digitization is often regarded by archivists/special collections curators as a substantially more expensive than traditional methods of "store it in humidity controlled vault".

My main thought is that it's the intersection of economic prosperity that rewards individuals in certain sectors extremely well combined with natural and artificial restrictions on the housing supply. If housing is short, the people who make the most-- and can pay the most-- have a strong influence on the market rate. And if they're making a whole lot more than the other folks, the other folks get priced out of the market.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, just try to follow up on big things impacting many people.

According to my understanding of the amyloid cascade hypothesis, the amyloid beta accumulation is not a cause but indeed a symptom (of gene mutations/something). Then, the amyloid beta basically clumps up and other mechanisms happen and neurons get damaged and this collective damage is known as Alzheimer's Disease.

So the amyloid beta is just one link in the chain.

Even with a complete removal of that link (removing/reducing amyloid beta), one cannot expect the disease to be reversed, since removal of something in-between does not revert the already occured damage. But accumulation of new damage might slow down. Coupled with improved early detection even this would be very helpful to many people.

As far as I know, some modest slowing down was observed in some of the clinical trials. This could mean the amyloid cascade hypothesis isn't completely wrong.

Now, what I found really, really interesting is that first Biogen gets ca. 20 % of its market value vaporized after the aducanumab (a joint venture betwen Biogen and Eisai). This is nearly 20 billion USD. Then, Eisai informs that they still go forward with another substance called BAN2401.

The BAN2401 also targets amyloid beta, but in a different way than others (protofibrils).

So... I'm thinking here that this is either a genius move or a really dumb one. It cannot really be anything in-between. I honestly hope it'll be a genius move.
I really love the design and style qri! It is fun!

Can I ask why, for a git-style system, IPFS was chosen instead of GUN or SSB?

Certainly, images/files/etc. are better in IPFS than GUN or SSB.

But, you're gonna have a nightmare doing any git-style index/patch/object/etc. operations with it - both GUN & SSB's algorithms are meant to handle this type of stuff.

That's the gist of how it is in Seattle. You're not allowed to address or discuss it. You're not allowed to observe there may be a problem. You can only help in the permitted ways - serving or donating to some shelters. Everyone else, be on your way. The city will tend to all, you need not worry yourselves.

Funding community networks is one of the few use-cases I've seen that actually seem to make sense for cryptocurrency.

The Althea wireless mesh is doing this -- you "load" your router with a certain amount of credit, and it tries to get you the lowest-cost transport. People running nodes have incentive to optimize their antenna placement and signal, so they can carry more traffic and get paid for it.

I don't know if this directly applies to SSB since there's really nothing to "run", other than pubs which we've already established are only a stopgap solution anyway. Simply participating in the network (leaving your client running) is what provides the real "infrastructure", such as it is.

Yep! Other examples include the Apple Music service and the AirPlay 2 protocol, both of which are available on multiple non-Apple platforms.
The biggest problem with decentralized protocol (in practice) is still the speed. Centralized protocols are simply faster. I am hoping someone will discover a way to make decentralized protocols fast in the future. I am personally rooting for IPFS.

Apple Music is available on Android, so I suspect any video service would be too.
Do you have evidence that such houses are actually used when made? I've heard - and this is hearsay at the moment - that when those have been built in Seattle, they were unused.
These Are the Cheapest and Most Expensive Cars to Insure
That's a big—and new—step for Apple, and I'm sure it's connected to the video service. They don't want it to be "Apple product exclusive," even if I'm sure they'd rather you use Apple products to watch it.

But Apple hasn't ever been quite as exclusive as they're painted to be when it comes to peripherals and services. They've had iTunes on Windows for a very long time (yes, it's kind of a trash fire, but it's still there), and that was mostly to support the iPod. They have iCloud for Windows. Apple Music has an Android app, is supported by Sonos and Amazon Alexa, and even has a web-based API (no official "cloud player," but there's an open source one out there which Apple knows about and is apparently okay with as long as it doesn't use the word "Apple" in its name). And, of course, a lot of non-Apple products can receive AirPlay, and they appear to have gotten fairly aggressive in the last few months at moving AirPlay 2 into the third-party market.

So, Apple Services have been on third-party devices for years; they've just historically been a lot less enthusiastic about it than companies like Spotify and Amazon have been. I would expect to see them be way more enthusiastic from here on.

I think you're demonizing, just like GP observed people are doing.

It is unwise to assume that 'homeless people' are a single group that have identical traits. There are many subcategories, each with its own causing problems, attitudes, and required solution if they are to escape homelessness. Lumping them all into one category of 'not bad, not stupid, avoiding condescension' is itself condescending and reductive.

If we're to make any headway addressing the real human cost incurred by this problem, we have to have some nuance in identifying these subcategories and the individual people who occupy them.

It doesn't really work that way.

Any landlord can decide at any time that they will accept Section-8 for a given apartment. If they do accept and a tenant that receives Section-8 assistance is interested in moving into the property, the property must pass a standardized HUD inspection before payment is made from HUD to the landlord.

Re-inspections typically occur annually.
So, it’s the existence of “slum lords” that causes the higher profit margins?

Interesting. So, if you buy a home in an area with lots of slum lords, the you make more? Seems like there would be a lot of money pouring into slum lord areas. Seems like that would drive housing prices up...and either rents would have to go up or profits would fall.
Apple makes $60B net profit/year, with $120B in book value (assets - liabilities). It doesn’t need any growth to justify its $900B value. All it needs to do to keep that value is to not shrink too much.
I didn't detect any rabid right-wing bias in this documentary, despite whoever owns it. It seemed pretty neutral, if not from a humanitarian perspective. I don't think I've ever seen a rabid right-wing org point out that drug addiction is actually the biggest component of this homeless problem, and showing a solution working elsewhere that was primarily based on getting people off of drugs.

Word embeddings are also "simply computed." If you use GloVe, then the vectors are obtained by factoring a matrix of co-occurence counts.
