> It is almost exclusively used when comparing to Islam.

Is it? Search through 20th-century usages of the word as reflected in e.g. Google Books, and you’ll see that the term was widely used among authors for whom Islam was not even really on their radar. It wasn’t until the 1980s at least that Islam gradually entered the consciousness of most Westeners to the point where the term "Judeo-Christian" could take on any meaning of opposition to Islam.
Trollope's novels already had made much fun out of the workings of the Church of England. I doubt if the bishops had moral authority among the public for a quite long time. Perhaps people love the spectacle and the pageantry.

That's exactly what hand-waving is. It's bad logic they use to support a conclusion that they then immediately hedge in the following sentence.

Here's the 10 safety essentials check list they are talking about:

Pelosi is a moron who doesn't even know how the current insurance system works. Of course people lose their insurance. And ACA insurance often doesn't cover the same things as the employer-based insurance. If people need to get on Medicaid, they need to wait months before it starts, months without coverage. Everyone needs healthcare and few people can afford to pay the exorbitant costs of it in this country. And of course, if you get injured on the job, you have to fight a whole different system that shouldn't exist either. Of course Pelosi has her own insurance and plenty of money so like so many rich assholes in congress and elsewhere doesn't care and doesn't want to improve healthcare coverage for the rest of us. Let us get sick and die. Even with insurance this is often the case. Pelosi's a moron on this issue and many others. She's almost as clueless as the Republicans who get off on kicking people off of Medicaid and watching them get sick and die. How can the US even be considered a developed country anymore when we let our own people get sick and die so a few rich assholes can get richer?
Wait, isn't this how the zombie apocalypse normally starts?

What's interesting to me is that, in my experience, it seems that SCA not being used is more of a merchant than a bank problem. My previous bank (NatWest in UK) and my current bank (Nordea in SE) both support it, but a lot of merchants, especially UK ones, don't bother, which undermines the system.

The fact that Greek and Roman texts were preserved in monasteries has nothing to do with the cultural contribution of Christianity- it's more of a lucky accident. A lot of Greek texts were translated and preserved by Arab scholars, nobody speaks of "Arab roots" of our culture.

Christianity has had a profound and determinant influence on the Western culture; so did Greek and Roman culture, which found a way to integrate with Christianity while remaining mostly distinct from it.

Judaism? Not so much. If anything reached us of Judaism it was already entirely contained and transformed by Christianity.
Absolutely.

We shop in an environment where we are being told what other purchasers thought about it. "Fake news" (made-up clickbait, not the Trumpian term for non-news) spreads like wildfire, polarising anybody who takes it face value.

You can argue that the exposure to these lies is entirely self-inflicted, but that's how society has moved on. The real question is if we can successfully wean ourselves onto something better.
> was it deliberately designed to hassle black women or anyone else with dreadlocks?

Does it really matter when that's the end result and there is no intention or effort to fix it? Harm is harm, that the harm was intentional or not doesn't really matter when the harm is ongoing.

If your house is on fire, the first concern is to make it no be on fire, only after that does the question of intent have any relevance. And if somebody wilfully attempts to stop the process of making the house not be on fire, they should be considered intentionally harmful and no different from pyromaniacs until proven otherwise. Either way they should be removed post-haste.

How can you count events that never happened? Especially if they were deterred from even being attempted by the existence of TSA alone.

Do you think a government agency would just publicly blast all the unsuccessful attempts that were prevented, without fear that future criminals can look at those attempts and do better next time by learning how to avoid making the same mistakes?

Disclaimer: I agree with most of the posters that TSA is mostly just a security theater. But just because I think so, that doesn't make the flawed parent argument any better.

Yes, you are absolutely correct in your decision to resign.

It's - if I'm being honest here - painfully clear you are much more interested in your side project (from the prospective of UW) than your ostensible job.

Oil is not globally owned, it is owned by individuals who mine it, and the land owners who allowed it to be taken from the ground.

The way this is being worded and the only foundation for such arguments is if it is assumed oil is a right for everybody to have access, or is group owned by humanity.

I use my groceries as needed, but if I wanted to buy a cart full of apples and flush them down the toilet it is none of your business -- as after I have bought them you have no right. Unless you own the apples and are the one selling them, you have not business in telling me how to use them either.

So the only take away I have is you think all humans own oil and have a right to it, and that if some humans are using it in a way that would make less for further humans, then you some how think you have a say in telling me how much I can use.

The suggestion that you or anybody else has a say on how much of a product one can buy or how quickly they use the product is ludicrous.

Phantom limbs can cause/have pain, partly from the lack of expected predicted feedback. I cannot begin to imagine what sort of chaos, in the dynamical sense, a non-existent body would cause and how that would be represented in the parts of the brain that calculates how to interpret it.
Medicare for all plans a two year transition. There are already mechanisms to expand to set payment costs for procedures in Medicare. We would have to extend those to cover a system of setting fairer prices for drugs - as medicare is legally prohibited from negotiating drug prices currently. That's a legal precedent, not a cultural one.

But basically, future history begins today. I don't see why because we historically have an ineffective system, we shouldn't strive to build a working system.
A better summary would be that those two quantities explain about half of the variation, not that they predict accurately half the time.

If you took a random sample of cases, half of them wouldn’t exhibit a direct relationship b/w SAT and first year GPA and half nothing (unless the data is _super_ weird). Instead, SAT would be instructive-ish in predicting first year GPA for all those cases.
I agree with what you're saying, but AFAIK, AMP forced this hosting for very specific reasons in the browser protocol stack, and that Web Packaging/Signed Exchanges are designed to address. That is, forcing a single opaque resource location is a hack/polyfill for what should have been some kind of native browser support for these mechanisms in the first place.

To me, there's been a lot of false starts in the Browser platform, a lot of hacks, and 'worse is better', until we finally get something good.

Remember AppCache/Application Manifests? It was horrible. Now we have Service Workers. Or the gazillion variations of <link> prefetch/subresource/prerender/etc

I think eventually we'll end up at a good place that doesn't have a centralized requirement. And I don't (being a Google employee), see these designs as deliberate attempts to arrogate power and control, but more like expediency. AMP was a reaction to Apple News and Facebook Instant putting publishers in non-Web silos. You could argue the proper thing to do would have been for the W3C/WHATWG to design something by committee, then wait a year or two for all browsers to ship, and then get the publishers on board.

What AMP essentially did was ship a polyfill fix for something on existing web technologies to get publishers to do something they could have done on their own, but didn't, with the eventual real fix coming later.

For whatever reason, publishers seemed unwilling to fix their mobile performance using standard practices, and invited a takeover of native mobile silos. I see AMP as a kind of holding action to preserve federated mobile web publishing, until something better came along.

You have to ask yourself, what's worse, using HTML Web Components and a JS framework library, or having major publishers choosing Apple News or Facebook Instant as their primary publishing mechanism on mobile?
> If you want to nitpick, then jump to a 'competitor'

Sure, I can solve the problem by switching to a different CA, or by adding the ISRG root cert to each device.

But this is a problem that didn't need to happen. I blame myself for not anticipating it when I selected LE.

And I blame LE for cross-signing with a root cert that expires so soon. Not a good choice for a new CA that will take many years to be trusted on most devices.
I would argue that as products of society and society's productive make up (including its economic and ideological spheres), social networking giants are not the root of social ills. But the structure of these networks originates from the same place that society's problems come from, and in my view this makes the problem worse by serving as a way by which society reproduces itself.

A famous German philosopher once said that a society that does not reproduce itself economically (through production and consumption) will be finished within a week. Much later a French philosopher noted this is just as true for ideology which must be reproduced (through schools, church, the media, entertainment and social media) or society will change for better or worse.

That's a great point. Although maybe one way to make the approach more generic is to treat them as functions that happen to return React Nodes as opposed to stateless functional components.

Then you could write an alternative set of functions that returns say Vue components or raw html templates.

It still doesn't make individual translations _always_ reusable across paradigms, but I'm not so sure if the impedance mismatch associated with working with raw strings in a modern UI frameworks is worth the translation portability of that de-facto approach. And at the end of the day the only transaction functions you'd have to duplicate are the ones return more than raw strings, so it's not the end of the world.
it's a shit show. I had "great benefits" at my last job accept when i needed them

1. when something happened and i needed physical therapy it turned out my copay was like 6k so i just DIY my own therapy..

2. when changing jobs i had a month gap, so i bought COBRA and 3 things went wrong.

a. it cost $1300 for a month of coverage (even with a 2k deductible)

b. since my last day was before a weekend, they actually covered my only until that same day next month, so i still had a gap of coverage (might be my employer but still sucks people have to be faced with this bs)

c. when i did go to a routine physical healthcare provider still denied the claim and i was sent a full bill. after hours of calling it turned out they initially rejected it, but then accepted months later and i was left with _*some*_ expenses ?!

all this BS while dealing with expensive benefit package.. i can only image what self employed people must go through..
>So you're telling me a broader book can't have bias?

No, I'm telling you you're talking isolated stuff out of context, taking them to their extremes, and ask questions never implied in the original.

E.g. "So you're telling me a broader book can't have bias?"

No, he says "Handbooks have broader scope, giving you overview of the field and their job isn't to push agendas or most recent research, but to give you understanding of the basics of a field of study, and an ability to understand other, specialized sources of knowledge".

He's not meaning it as an absolute ("no handbook ever had bias"), and he's not speaking about "broader books" in abstract, but in particular (as already said in our thread) university handbooks.

Can university handbooks (and not just "broader books" in general) have bias?

Perhaps, but they're broader in scope than a single study, there are no grant money depending on good results or "publish or perish", they are not reporting on one study's results but on aggregate conclusions from multiple studies, they need to agree with the established truths of the field in general. They have passed more filters than a mere research paper.

>Also, how does that help us understand something like fracking on all it's axises? A geology book might tell you the fundamentals behind the hydrology, but it won't mention the possible environmental impact.

If only there were handbooks and university 101 level treatments of fracking's environmental impact too, and not just hydrology methods. Oh, wait, ...
Maybe, and who knows what the roots of the Persian world were. The point is that if you want to find the immediate ancestors of Western culture those are Greco-Roman and Christian. Certainly nothing to do with Judaism.
Anyone here considered cryo? the only thing putting me off is being trapped in an infinite torture with some bitter robot overlord. The good thing about death is just that. No one can suffer infinitely. We get to die. I read a short story once where this kind of happens. It's the end of time and 3 people are stuck in an evil machine who keeps them alive. Then one guy kills/free's 2 of the others. Can't remember what it was called. May have been an Asimov short. As far as I know cryo can be as little as £30 a month on a life insurance plan. Backing people up will become big business if they can show everyone there is nothing metaphysical about the mind.
> A lot of Greek texts were translated and preserved by Arab scholars, nobody speaks of "Arab roots" of our culture.

By the time Arab translations of Greek and Roman works were rediscovered by the West, the synthesis of Classical culture with Christianity had already been complete for centuries. So, the Arab contribution did not greatly affect the popular narrative.

> Judaism? Not so much. If anything reached us of Judaism it was already entirely contained and transformed by Christianity.

Certainly the impact of Judaism on the West is small compared to Christianity. But Spinoza, who came out of a Jewish intellectual tradition, was one of the founding figures of the Enlightenment.
Yes, that was interesting. I read about it at the time (I was doing Ruby around then). Another one on the same lines was Mark Pilgrim (author of Dive into Python and similarly-named books for Python 3 and HTML 5, IIRC).
> Many, many schools would hire him with tenure if he decided to go back to academia.

Pretty sure this is false.
Yeah I'm not really saying it's useless just that it's the basic format of those books. I think the best way to read those is to skim the various testimonials to get an idea what they're talking about and get to the author's point then read them as they spark your interest or seem relevant.

I get why they're in there, it's one of the few ways to argue the actual effectiveness of whatever advice the author is giving. It just seems excessive sometimes how much of the books are just 'I swear this works look at these important people it worked for.'
I'm sure there will be more nuanced and better explanations, but imho the gist is that SV is generally very, very socially progressive while Trump is -at least publicly- populist right-wing-ish which puts him on the other side on lots of issues.

Before 2016 Trump wasn't an active politician of relevance, so there was little to no reason to oppose him.
Look at the animal kingdom and you’ll see a natural world full of death, rape, and violence with no basis in religion. If we’re animals that’s the baseline. By using the word atrocity you’re buying in to some definition of evil that has to come from a philosophical belief system, ie a faith, which could be directed toward God, the future of humanity, logic, a flat earth, or literally anything else.
