There is a small but very convinced group that believes that the King James Bible is "perfect", preserved by God to be the only true scripture for Christians.

This is just my opinion, after many hours of researching this phenomenon myself: They mean well, but they're very wrong. The translators of the King James Bible themselves, specifically and without ambiguity stated in the introduction to the KJV that it's important for scholars to update the texts from time to time to allow current culture to understand what ancient writers meant. There are a lot of archaic words in the KJV that don't mean today what they meant back when it was written, for instance.

I used to work with a KJV-onlyist and I had a few debates with him over lunch about it. I gave him a verse with an archaic word in it, and asked him to explain it. As I expected, he interpreted it using the modern definition which made no sense at all. When I pointed out that I had basically tricked him, he flat out refused to even admit he was wrong.

My take on this find is that it's nice and all, but it's a rather minor 'find' in terms of how useful it will be.

That's true. The sheriff is setting the general guidelines for the process. However from what I've seen there's ample opportunity for an individual officer to impact the outcome of an application. The sheriff's deputies are the ones performing interviews and making determinations regarding someone's "good cause", "moral character", etc. I think pretty much any bureaucracy gives individual bureaucrats ample opportunity to let their own personal beliefs influence their decision making.

Things like the push for 2A Sanctuary Cities may be pandering, but I think it wouldn't be happening if the cops in question were strongly against civilian ownership of firearms.

Always. Robin Hartshorne's "Geometry: Euclid and Beyond" is the best book of its kind. It does Euclidean geometry with Hilbert's axioms and cleans up some of the loose ends of Euclid's classical treatment. Hartshorns book also covered the 5th postulate very thoroughly and non-Euclidean geometry. Hyperbolic geometry is treated axiomatically. He also has a nice treatment of axiomatic projective geometry which you can download for free. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.475...

Anyone in the telecommunications industry care to speak to this? Because this guy sounds like a spoiled brat who doesn't realize that good things cost money.

He is talking about the pre-internet landline network, an international communications system that reached virtually everyone in both the biggest cities and the smallest towns, and was so reliable I was nearly twenty before I realized that dial tone wasn't always on if the bill was paid. That wasn't cheap; you needed thousands and thousands of line workers and engineers and administrators and customer service workers to make it all work. And you needed to raise billions of dollars to build the damn thing in the first place.
Seems very limited if you can't get any switches that support 2.5GbE. Makes more sent to just go the full 10GbE route, though 10GbE switches are still very expensive.

Anybody recommend a better option than the Ubiquiti ES‑16‑XG[1]. Unfortunately most of the ports are SPF+ with only 4 ports being RJ45 10GBASE-T.

My impression is that it wasn't exactly pitched as a substitute for food aid, but more as a recreational project to provide moral support for the refugees, and perhaps some micronutrients on the side. Overall it's not too bad for a concept but the execution clearly prioritised asethetics over utility.

It does tick all the boxes for an attractive startup though:

As impractical as it is, nobody should be surprised by the fact that it got so much traction over the years.

> I think for some the issue is that if you consider the Bible to be absolute and without error, then the logical conclusion is that the first available translation is the right one and you can't have others that conflict.

If you considered that the Bible as originally revealed was absolute and without error, that would absolutely not demand the conclusion that the first translation into your language from intermediate texts was therefore “the right one”. In fact, it would (given the inherent act of interpretation in translation) lead to suspicion of any translation from the original (see Islam and translations of the Quran.)

Still...

Reframed as "I earnestly feel like we can be a benefit to more users and still keep the same benefits of our current size." (or something like that) while followed up with a plan to do that which demonstrates understanding of the issues involved... that's a whole different story and would likely get your boss's attention.

Though, after reading the rest of the comments I doubt even that would fly. A 50 y/o company? IMHO a single doubling was a once-in-a-generation thing. "startup mentality" does NOT a startup make.

Most of the serious Christian apologists these days don't have that kind of faith in the KJV, but rather on the originals as first written by the authors. In fact they don't consider the KJV to be anywhere near the best since much earlier manuscripts have been found since the KJV was translated. William Lane Craig writes about a lot of this in his books. I highly recommend his book "reasonable faith" for a look at the most scholarly philosophical apologetics (from a Christian view). Just don't accept his explanations of atheist thought because it's a giant straw man.

For atheist thought go with David Kyle Johnson for philosophy, Bart Ehrman for biblical history, and Richard Dawkins for science. Sam harris does a ton of philosophy too which is good, just not my favorite.

All you have to do is read the history of newspapers and journalism. Almost exclusively, they were created by financial, industrial and political elite to influence the population. They were never created to make money.

Alexander Hamilton didn't create the New York Post to make money. Henry Jarvis Raymond (politician) and George Jones (banker) didn't create the NYTimes to make money. Stilson Hutchins (politician) didn't create the WashingtonPost to make money. These newspapers were created to further their founders' political interests.

And in case you were wondering, Bezos didn't buy WashingtonPost to make money either.

I'm unsure how to explain so I'll use an example: when C# released async/await, a common complaint was that async functions could only be called if the parent/calling function is also made async, which meant any of its parent functions also had to become async, and so on. It spreads virally until the entire entrypoint for the program had to be async too.

If the React runtime was completely async (as in returning promises for every function) from the `ReactDom.Render()` to the lifecycle methods to render(), then user code can transparently support any `await fetchSomeData()` calls. Basically change every method from:

f(x) => T;

into:

async f(x) => Promise<T>;

I believe the major change would be the runtime checking if the render() promise was resolved or not, and skipping the component if it wasn't. Am I completely off base here?

Personally I find how/why FTP uses two ports, 20 and 21, to be more interesting:

So the first thing to know is the FTP is 'old', in that it predates TCP and originally ran on NCP:

> The original specification for the File Transfer Protocol was written by Abhay Bhushan and published as RFC 114 on 16 April 1971. Until 1980, FTP ran on NCP, the predecessor of TCP/IP.[2] The protocol was later replaced by a TCP/IP version, RFC 765 (June 1980) and RFC 959 (October 1985), the current specification.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol

The second thing to know is that, unlike TCP or UDP, NCP was not duplex:

> NCP preceded the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as a transport layer protocol used during the early ARPANET. NCP was a simplex protocol that utilized two port addresses, establishing two connections, for two-way communications. An odd and an even port were reserved for each application layer application or protocol. The standardization of TCP and UDP reduced the need for the use of two simplex ports for each application down to one duplex port.[1]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Control_Program

So the original transport layer that FTP relied on necessitated two ports, and when the move to a newer transport layer occurred the use of two ports was carried over for simplicity's sake. And several decades later that design still exists.
