Depends on which branch of Christianity. Some Christians have nothing to do with Christmas because it is just a pagan celebration with a fake wrapping of Jesus. They might say anniversary of the resurrection instead of Easter (the date is correct if I understand the Hebrew calendar correctly - which I probably don't), and they would object to bunnies and other non-christian symbols of Easter. Those are the major holidays I can think of.

Most Christians of course don't, which is why we think of the above as Christian holidays even though some Christians find something objectionable.

Or you could just teach them the most popular informal logical fallacies, which would cover most of this already

Unfortunately there are a lot of them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

Fortunately, when given concrete examples, I believe most people can grasp most of them, and it would inoculate ALL of us to quite a bit of the BS flying about.

I’ve been studying these on my own for a while and once you learn some of them well enough, you cannot unsee them-
they are used EVERYWHERE
I think we should be setting kids up to do things with their hands, but starting much earlier.

Pre-K - 1st grade, let's get them drawing lines and curves with pencils, pins, brushes; with inks and paints. Give them clay to form with their hands, then give them tools to form it. Keep up that practice in years to come. Have them writing letters in various ways: print, cursive, calligraphy.

Do this in their formative years, giving them control other their fingers, hands, wrists, arms; give them creative outlets.

Then, as we introduce abstract concepts, they have tools to visualize their understanding, or creatively express the concepts to their classmates.

Eating dogs and cats doesn't sound tasty, but how does it compare to eating an animal alive?

If it's about not eating intelligent animals- pigs are way smarter than both dogs and cats. Yet meat eaters wouldn't find eating them "fringe" (I don't).
This is why I just pretend 5 star reviews don't exist. I figure all the other reviews are probably legit and look at them. If all the other reviews are 1 or 2 star I'm not going to buy it. If there are 4 star and 3 star reviews it's probably decent.

Yeah, but I can't decide if the Russian collusion angle was pushed more by the right or the left.

I mean, there IS a ton of evidence that Russian propaganda interference was real, and that it had an impact on the election. That in itself is a huge deal in my opinion. If there was no coordinated collusion, Trump and friends get to shout "See! No collusion! It was all a witch-hunt!" The idea that no collusion= witch-hunt is completely absurd and preposterous to me.
Indeed he does, but his primary activity (and public persona) is Facebook CEO.

At the basic level these two things are pretty similar. Its the same concept, just a difference in scale. The tower can only slice time so much before clients have to wait longer and longer to transmit. The faster a client can send its burst of data and get off the air, the more clients you can have connected per tower. I've personally experienced plenty of circumstances where even though signal strength is fine, there just isn't enough bandwidth for reliable cellular service.

> If the clock skew is only off by a few seconds or even minutes, the impact isn't so horrible, but if the clock jumps ahead by 20 years, you've effectively prevented any writes to that key for 20 years.

That's true, but (luckily) it's easy to remediate those objects in the Roshi architecture.

> If the UX impact [of lost writes] is negligible for you, that's great.

One interesting thing that I've observed about this kind of data system work is that there seems to be a as-of-yet unsolvable tension between "general purpose applicability" and "specific purpose usability". That is, there isn't a way to design a CRDT-based causally-consistent data system which has a general purpose API that consumers can use for a suitably broad set of use cases. Instead, success stories like Roshi seem to require specializing both data semantics and APIs to the specific use cases they target.

So, yes, if someone can't tolerate/remediate lost writes due to clock drift, then Roshi is not a suitable system. But, that's fine: data systems don't have to be general purpose to be useful, or to advance the state of the art.
Should be especially useful when reading the Grauniad then!
When you "git all the things", upgrading a dependency can equal a `git diff`. Upgrades become reviewable.

I envision a future where organisations routinely review upgrades.
SAT presumably tests you have learned certain things in high school and so are ready for university. E.g. you won’t show up to your first university math class needing to learn all of high school math, and thus be unable to complete the class.

Middle schools and parents would protest, though. Know why? Many of these invalidate aspects of religion.
I used interpretation as it occurs for example in Computability and Logic by Boolos, Burgess and Jeffrey. It is also explained here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretation_(logic)#Interpr...

Please note that from a logical perspective, a (pure) Prolog program is always a set of first-order clauses, since all variables that occur in a Prolog program are implicitly quantified to range over individuals and hence terms, not over predicates or sets of predicates etc., which would be characteristic of second- and higher-order logic.

This also includes meta-calls and meta-predicates! This is because, in Prolog, if a variable P occurs as a goal anywhere, it is interpreted as call(P), i.e., a universally quantified variable that is the argument of the predicate call/1. And call/1 is expressible in first-order logic, using at most one clause per predicate:

call(true).
call(X = Y) :- X = Y.
call(dif(X,Y)) :- dif(X, Y).
call(X #= Y) :- X #= Y.
etc.

So, even though Prolog programmers call predicates involving meta-calls "higher-order" programming (since predications are passed as arguments), it is not an instance of higher-order reasoning from a logical perspective. An example of a logical higher-order statement must quantify (at least) over predicates, so for example "For all unary predicates, the induction axiom is true." There is no way to express this in Prolog, because its universally quantified variables implicitly always range exclusively over domain elements (Herbrand terms), and you cannot quantify over predicates.

Regarding all-solutions predicates like setof/3, which are also higher-order predicates in the sense of Prolog: These predicates are not monotonic (for example, adding a fact may cause a query to fail that previously succeeded), and they therefore do not correspond to predicates in classical logic, where entailment is monotonic.
Russian Collusion mass hysteria?

Members of his immediate family and campaign flirted with people associated with the Russian government. He lied about his Russian financial deals. His National Security Adviser lied about his contacts with Russians and his foreign ties. And finally, Trump talks so oddly fond of Russia (and other despots) without ever condemning their human rights abuses.

It was worth investigating.
It's behind a login, but you can see the browser certificate chain in the browser UI itself. That should work for any Let's Encrypt certificate.
You'd need to specify an age group since it shouldn't be too hard to find supoort for Russia from the older generation that grew up under Soviet Union and is now feeling nostalgic for their past.
It's also an equally stated goal of Western propaganda: that everything that doesn't favor mainstream views and new outlets is "Russian propaganda".

I'm not Russian (you don't have to believe me, but surely you can find some non Russians in your vicinity with the same ideas that wasn't instilled by ...trolls in them), and I find all news outlets are equally untrustworthy. In fact, I find outlets like the "national inquirer" even more trustworthy that rags like NYT and the Guardian, because at least they deal with frivolous stuff, and don't drag whole countries to war to promote their elite's enemy du jour (from WMDs to Collusion, and lots of stuff years before -- if you follow the news for decades, it's more like 1984's "We've always been war with Eurasia").

The case with Russians and NATO is like the old adage: "This beast is very mean: it will fight back when it's attacked.". NATO has been surrounding Russia with bases, and satellite states (using countries like Georgia, changing regimes, etc) ever since the "end" of the Cold War, and they're supposed to just sit back and take it. Because for some reason the US, 10.000 miles away should have say and "strategic interests" in the region (and all over the world where it meddles), but Russia shouldn't have strategic interests in its own borders (including places with ethnic Russian population present).

Only populations naive about politics, that can't follow anything in world affairs besides the crude breakdowns of news "pundits" can ever buy this stuff.

>NATO and the EU have started anti-fake-news efforts to combat this narrative. It was all over EU facebook ads a while ago.

That sentence reads like a complete parody. "Bad X have you fooled with propaganda, but NATO and EU will sort you out with the truth -- Facebook said so".
Arguably the most accomplished athlete ever, Michael Phelps, has struggled with these same issues [0]. Today he is more upfront about his suicidal issues and what strategies he uses to help with his mental health. Such issues are incredibly personal, but there does seem to be some correlations with 'Black Swan' people (per the Natalie Portman movie) and later term mental health.

I would love to get my hands on an old Lisp machine, just to play with it. While there's obviously nothing pragmatic about using one of them nowadays, I think they're an incredibly interesting footnote in computing history, and I always like to think about the "what if?" universe where Lisp-centric architectures were the norm.
> even with synced clocks some will always be faster and always win writes.

That's true, but, in the use cases that Roshi targets, it's also not a problem. Users will notice and re-issue writes.

Show HN: AppingKit
Can't tell you how happy it makes me to discover I'm not the only one who does this. My wife says it drives her nuts but I'm pretty certain she's also delighted by how we never forget anything before or during a trip.

We did something similar for example: left a tray of leftover food in the oven (turned off) just before a trip and came back to a pulsating surprise. I added "Check the oven is off and empty" to the list of things to do "Just before we leave" and it's never happened since.

That said, there are several hundred things on my generic version and it sometimes feels a bit daunting having to start afresh each time we travel but I think so far, it's been worth it.

I keep threatening to do a trip without it and see just how many things we forget, don't do and screw up. MAybe one day... :)
I read the UK Guardian most days and sometimes comment on the few stories they briefly allow reader input on. Based on those experiences I would say the Guardian has a very strong 'keep the status quo' neo liberal angle politically and hosts large numbers of highly judgmental and biased opinion and analysis pieces. Nothing wrong with that, they have a particular political and agenda driven focuses for a substantial audience demographic.
I've spent 24 years writing software professionally and I often think about my exit. I don't think I'll ever stop writing software, I truly love it. But the career itself is incredibly stressful. The money is compensation for that stress, but I'd much rather be outside and working with my hands. I'm going to create other channels of income and then move on.

It's not that I think people can't be happy at a desk. I've been very happy. Just looking for a change and some sunshine.
I notice in your second link that West Antarctica is the biggest contributor to rising global sea level.

Yet according to JPL, the main cause of this is believed to be volcanic activity under the western side of the continent. [0]

Qualcomm, I suppose. I personally think it's more likely that Apple wants to make its own. One thing it does do well is custom fabrication and optimization, which is why iPhones run better with less RAM than Androids and can have good battery life. I think they may be sick of the trouble caused by 3rd-party suppliers in this department.

Do you mean Chemtrails? Contrails are real and a normal phenomenon of flight. I figure since you put it next to Flat Earth you might mean Chemtrails.
> So much for the silly "masses".

To be fair though, the masses are rather silly, and the size of that mass is growing (spreading into demographics of higher intelligence). So much of the news is obviously "fake" (weasel words, implied but not outright stated "facts", etc) but as the propaganda campaigns continue, they seem to be gradually wearing people down. Although, the decreasing frequency of dissenting voices in social media could also be explained by people abandoning all hope of getting people to think critically and just checking out.
It would be neat to find, but--who is going to go scouring the seafloor off the coast of Delaware for a not-very-large magnetic rock?
Why should we prove it to you people over and over when you just ignore facts? You're not worth anything other than this comment.

There was another more famous leader that thought of himself as talented at multiple things: like painting... and architecture/construction. And, in a quirk of fate, being bad at the latter actually saved his life once (unfortunately).

Yes, things always look different from the inside.
> Ice always accumulates in Antarctica, because whatever snow falls in the interior just sits there.

Not exactly. In most cases, the ice accumulates into glaciers and slowly flows towards the sea.

As you can see from this relief map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Topographic_maps... , Antarctica's interior is very mountinous and consistently a higher elevation than it's edges. Gravity forces the compacted ice downhill. As the ice on the mountains moves, so does all of the ice in it's way.
You mean Fox news hasn't been claiming for years of mythical racist muslim no-go zones in Europe and similiarly racist border "invasions" claims in the south which equates the desperate with military forces? A slanderous comparison laughable even in the most ill-equipped and ill-trained military. And the National Enquirer hasn't been using blatant clickbait long before there was any digitized clicking?

While Fake News has been used as a childish anti-facts I don't like shield I wouldn't call those examples wrong even if you may dislike it.

It sounds like despite the criticisms in the article, Instagram has done it right. Everyone still uses the app, with no backlash the way Snap did. My wife and all her friends are using it like crazy still, it's sometimes the only way I can get in contact with her. So Facebook deserves a lot of credit for that, despite the tone of the article.

Artificial scarcity (like diamonds) to keep their rank and prestige.

The vast majority of my work is not particularly creative.

Anarchists Who Took the Commuter Train
I can't fathom how the answer to the pilot shortage couldn't simply be "pay them more". They are flying $100 million dollar planes, pilot salary must be a drop in the bucket.
Personal:

- Shopping lists
- House errants (cleaning, maintenance)
- Recurring payments (tax, power, water)
- Car maintenance
- Travel
- Reading lists
- Social (upcoming anniversaries, invitations, etc)

Work (I run a SaaS company):

- Daily/weekly tasks
- Tax filing
- Deployments
- Server health checks
- Security checklists

edit: markup
This is probably the most narrow and poorly organized list of security specializations I've ever seen. If you literally just google "cyber security specializations" you will see a lot more options and insights available. Fun, prestige, pay, and progression are obviously four very different things, and honestly they are pretty subjective except for maybe pay, but that could be wildly different depending upon the area/region/country. So asking for so many facets of a career with such a poorly developed list of career options is not going to net you very useful answers. Instead, focus on researching and understanding the whole of security better rather than trying to find the most fun high paying prestigious job in the lot.
That's an interesting point, can you provide a link to those studies ?
The combination of animations on the URL and emojis looks great! And i think some of the use-cases, like progress indicators or simple spinners can be pretty legitimate (though maybe it's just my cute-hack-friendly mind thinking this :P)

I stumbled upon Chrome's rate-limit quite a few times (now it seem to have been raised). Thanks!

You can have very different lifestyle in different communities. Moving blind to somewhere you have no understanding of is a recipe for unhappiness when you find it doesn’t suit you due to climate, politics, economics, etc.

For example moving to a college and realising you can’t get anywhere in the area without driving and you’re a walking person.
I can't talk about Scotland because they have a devolved system and I have no idea how it works up there.

I can talk a little bit about England.

There are two main ALBs (arms length bodies) that will be involved: NHS Resoulation (the organisation that handles legal cases) and NHS Improvement (the organisation that handles QI work). NHS England and NHS Improvement are merging and I don't know what the new name will be. NHS Resolution used to be called NHS Litigation Authority.

https://resolution.nhs.uk/

https://improvement.nhs.uk/

The information that NHSi has about "Just Culture" is here: https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/just-culture-guide/

If you have a look at this flow-chart you can see that they're trying to find out if an incident that caused harm was deliberate, grossly negligent, caused by wider system failings, etc. https://improvement.nhs.uk/documents/2490/NHS_0690_IC_A5_web...

If you have a look at NHS Resolution's page about learning from harm you can see that they're keen for healthcare professionals to 1) Say sorry, 2) explain in full what went wrong 3) Explain how that's going to be prevented in future. https://resolution.nhs.uk/services/safety-and-learning/

This expands upon a legal duty of HCPs and NHS Trusts in England: the Duty of Candour.
