Problem is... we DON'T have the originals.

Something few people know:

The greek translation of the old testament, might be more accurate than the hebrew version.

The reason is that the complete hebrew version we have (I mean, ignoring fragments found in archeological digs recently), was written about 700 years after Jesus, by a group of people that were strongly biased against the idea that Jesus was the Messiah, also their version has explicit editor notes, and commentary, and obvious errors (for example "alphabetic" psalms that are missing letters, while the greek translation still have them).

Some of my favourite translations are ones that did research to find what was probably closest to originals, instead of reliance on the language of manuscripts, there are even some ethiopian texts (in ethiopian language!) that are reputed to be more reliable than more recent texts that are supposed to be copies of originals in original language.
The question was "How long will it take to drive across five states". So you really didn't answer the question and pivoted to something completely unrelated.

Are you talking about criminal court? Call me pessimistic, but I don't think our societal arrangement is such where the people at the top pay the price. I think regulation reform is a more realistic goal.
To me, it's a realistic introduction it's just that as computers became ubiquitous, marketing them as easy to use was the dominant strategy. It's been very successful. People will shop weeks on faith in silver bullets to avoid four hours RTFM'ing.
i don't think netflix is worth the full asking price to be completely honest. hbo go would be worth it if the stream quality wasn't down there in the dumpster (final GOT season night scenes made me cringe - a great example of how encoding can ruin some otherwise good parts). haven't used amazon yet and eagerly waiting for disney's platform to be able to tell how things settle down.

i can tell right now that i won't ever have more than two subscriptions active at the same time because it's ridiculous to even have more than one, but i'm making some concessions.

Targeting Mark Zuckerberg: The attacks against Facebook’s speech policy
The ~tone of your statement combined with the complete lack of any information (in the message, or indeed existing within the current comprehensive knowledge of mankind itself) regarding the magnitude or likelihood of the negative event manifesting seems like an appropriate situation for dissection.

Opinions presented as facts should always qualify for dissection in my opinion, if we had less of this, particularly in politics, perhaps people would be more comfortable with uncertainty and the unknown, and therefore less likely to fall on different sides of contentious arguments.
Interesting article, and the results at least “make sense” to me.

I am just a single data point but there are a few things that I think help my neural plasticity:

Mix up the way I do routine physical activities: for example switch the order of putting on shoes, etc.

I spend anywhere from five minutes to twenty minutes in VR every day. Just putting on my Oculus Quest, and trying some random or favorite activity for a few minutes feels stimulating (and is fun).

Meditation: I tend to meditate a fair amount for several days, then not meditate for a while, in a cycle. I feel better when I meditate more but I don’t have a good explanation beyond spirituality.

EDIT: also, I think lots of quality sleep refresh my brain. In the 1980s, Sir Francis Crick theorized that REM sleep had the beneficial effect of removing unnecessary memories from the previous day - sort of a Marie Kondo spark joy cleaning out process.
What are the five language? There is Hebrew and Aramaic in the OT (though Aramaic is a close to Biblical Hebrew as Spanish is to Portuguese, so it's not very hard to pick up one when you know the other). In the NT we have Greek and a smattering of Aramaic/Hebrew words. What are the other two languages?
It depends on context and on exactly what is meant by "plasticity" (which isn't very precisely defined in general).

The entitlement people feel to steal is always surprising. Especially on this board. I understand a lot of reddit is younger and irresponsible so piracy-as-the-norm is a popular trope, but among the engineers whose livelihoods depend on subscription models, we still promote service theft without so much as a hint of shame?

If the economics of a service don't make sense to you, then do not subscribe. But to turn around and steal from the engineers and artists who work to create these experiences is just indefensible. You are not entitled to television shows.
This article is 90% a rant against “callback hell” that js was facing before async/await was introduced. The remaining 10% stays valid even in the presence of async/await, but the trade-off (ignored by the article) of the alternative is having to manually deal with synchronization primitives (at least channels), which would make zero sense given that JavaScript is a single-threaded environment.

Rust is a different beast, you can have whichever model you like best (OS threads, M:N threads (with third party libs), async/await) but async/await is by far the most powerful, that's why it's such a big deal that it lands on Rust stable.

It's not confusing because you're a manager but because you're a manager who doesn't understand the tools used to create the things by the people you're managing. You don't need to know how to do everything they do but you ought to know the importance of major upgrades in the tool set.
they should simply have published numbers for how many simultaneous stream they permit and just drop the oldest connection active when a new one would exceed the limit. that is a soft way to clamp down, eventually those sharing will tire of it if they have too many friends borrowing it.

now the idea of having to put in a number texted to me to continue watching is annoying enough to drop a service.

not sure how much room the other streaming services will have for raising fees to compensate for sharing with the pricing on D+

TIL: The airstairs are still an option of most (all?) 737 variants. RyanAir appears to have them on part of the fleet. And many BBJ have them, as not all general aviation terminals have jetways.

The benchmarks and excitement around AMDs offerings are a great example. When you see something that presents a paradigm shift, often the market will not have fully digested it.

AMD is one of those cases, and I believe BA is as well. Their stock is essentially unchanged from where it was before the Lion Air crash in October 2018. This company is worth $200B and we’re talking about 5,000 units of a $100mm plane (that’s $500B in revenue right? I’m not adding a zero there?)

That's what you call it. I call it theft. If an individual does not have the power to create money, then neither should a group of individuals, regardless of what color robes they're wearing.

I'm not saying female and male brains grow differently after that age. I have no idea. I'm saying that their data doesn't change anything about answering why fields differ.

Martial arts are really hard to get into as a beginner. I'm physically fit and fairly flexible, but the dogmatism of many martial arts and the high barrier to entry (extreme strength and flexibility seem to be required even to start) made me really uncomfortable with a wide variety of martial arts. I've tried aikido, capoeira, kung fu muay-thai, boxing — but they all seemed to required beginners to immediately be able to do side-splits, acrobatic flips (I'm in NYC, so maybe the quality of beginners was much higher).

I'd recommend yoga in combination with weightlifting or HIIT training.
Meritocracy’s Waterloo? University of California may scrap admissions testing
> This is just sad. This is just stupid,” Brenner says. “Why do we let this go on?”

Because this is practically textbook definition of a perverse incentive.

What about healthy homeless people? Do they get homes? We are encouraging people to be sick and to a abuse the ER. And what about all of the working poor who are doing the right thing, but still have to pay half of their income in rent?

The reason we don't provide homes is you can never just provide homes to the ones who'would have abused the ER' but instead have to provide them to all homeless.

Also, as sad as it is to admit, there is a portion of homeless who you could literally buy a house for, and they will still end up homeless.

I hope I am wrong and this program works out.
It was more than a staircase issue- they were trying to avoid time-consuming and costly pilot-retraining.
I believe that the sonar they are talking about here is much "quieter" and directional than the type which they is harming sea life. The "harmful" type is either the intense omni directional sonar used to locate other ships, and the extremely loud sounds used by the petroleum industry to map subsurface deposits of oil and gas.

I know there is a small but growing tabletop rpg community on there. After drivethrurpg (the current de facto leader in rpg distribution - think of them like Steam, but for PDFs) had a kerfuffle about whether they should/should not take down a product that was offensive to many, the community started to notice that there wasn't really any competition to threaten to move to. That got some companies looking at itch.io. (I'm not aware of any high profile switches, but companies like EvilHat have started to make sure they are selling on both)

Meanwhile people as have an indie community there developing tabletop RPGs that dont always follow traditional expectations - I dont know if that community was already in place and just got some new attention, or if it coalesced as a result, but I assume the former.
I think the bigger issue than paying for multiple services is duplicate licensing. If I sign up for DirecTV, Amazon Prime, and CBS how many shows am I triple licensing? If all these companies want me to sign up for multiple services, there needs to be a way for them to pass "already licensed" information to each other, and pro-rate their bills accordingly.

ATT, Comcast, Disney, CBS already own almost all the historical content. Id rather pay a small licensing fee to those 4 and then be able to watch their content on any platform, rather than deal with multiple middlemen that have CBS, Comcast, Disney, ATT licensing costs built into their product price. IF I select DirecTV/ATT as my "licensing manager" then any time I sign up for Disney+, Peacock+, CBS All Access, I want a discount off one of the two ends (would make more sense to give all my subscription info to DirecTV and get a DirecTV discount. Then DirecTV can go to Disney and say "17% of our customers dont need to pay Disney licensing costs, weve adjusted our payment to you accordingly.)

Yeah, it's the same "logic" as when calculating losses to torrenting by equating the number of pirated copies with the number of lost sales. Of course they ignore the fact that the vast majority of those pirates would never consider paying even if pirating was absolutely impossible.
Define wealth.

However we tax, we’ll have to define terms. The goal should be to remove loopholes in those definitions. Not add loopholes. By adding the concept of wealth, we’ll just encourage behavior like undervaluing assets (like art, private stocks, etc). And we’ll be back to square one.

A team of scholars who have a (perhaps unconscious) doctrinal bent that influences their translation. If a word can be translated 10 different ways into English, of course you are going to choose the English word that matches your concept of doctrine. This is inevitable. By reading many different translations from scholars from different belief systems (catholic, protestant, orthodox, restoration, etc.) you will get a more rounded sense of possible meanings.

This feels like an idea from some idiot corporate suit who said "Well there are fingerprint readers on phones, let's use that to lock down accounts" without understanding that your app just gets as "Yes" or a "No" when you ask the phone to scan a fingerprint. The apps themselves don't get to the see the scan.

> The pay-TV industry is projected to lose $6.6 billion in revenue from password sharing and piracy this year, according to Parks Associates. By 2024, the number could grow to $9 billion, the research firm said.

BULLSHIT, we heard this SAME argument about piracy. Piracy/Account sharing DO NOT equal a 100% loss in sales. I'm willing to concede there are some people stealing who would pay but I can promise you it's nowhere near 100%.

I thought everyone wanted content to be split up when it was bundled as a cable package.
Just skipping the staircase it not enough. To make the plane taller it needs a new landing gear. But that doesn't fit into the existing gear wells. So now you need to redesign the gear wells. But the gear nearly touch in the middle already. So you neet to make them taller, and attach them to the wing further out. Which the Wing can' take. So you need to redesign the wing. At this point you better just admit that the 737 design from 1964 is at the end of its life.
Why do you feel entitled to get the product of other peoples work for free?
I agree with you except for the feedback loop of "make content, sell content, use money from content to buy an extension to copyright law, rinse, repeat."

There is a level of assault ON the public's rights happening. They arent completely innocent content creators being robbed, having done nothing wrong.

It smells less of entitlement, and more of intentional comeuppance.
She's sufficiently smart to know that a wealth tax won't have the impact you describe. In the same way that X% corporation taxes don't pull in anything like the revenue that you'd naively expect.

Your argument is, essentially, an "everything else being equal" one. But it won't be. Company structures, trusts etc will be restructured to best deal with whatever the new laws state. As they do with the current laws.

Of course, the corollary is that she's also well aware that it won't raise anything like the money that's suggested but, from her perspective, that's not a problem either. In fact, the opposite. Bringing in a wealth tax that the wealthy avoid is probably close to ideal: deliver on your promise and still have the bogeyman. Result.

What I think is genuinely interesting is that the whole idea of a wealth tax is now considered to be electorally sensible. That's a huge change from a decade or so ago and, potentially, makes way for much more radical policies to be touted without the usual faux-shocked response.
Yes it is. You can pedantically argue the American legal systems definition of stealing means that you have to charge thieves using different laws depending on what was stolen, but this is an unintellectual argument hiding behind legalese to abuse colloquial words.

It still baffles me that people try to justify their objectively immoral theft of someone else's hard work and their right to profit on that work as they see fit with pedantry like this.
I forgot that two wrongs make a right, my bad.
> The entitlement people feel to steal is always surprising.

It's not stealing when you already paid in full.

Sharing my Netflix password with my wife and/or child is not stealing, I paid in full for that account, and have now for many many years.

My Plex server is full of DVDs and BluRays I paid full retail price for (that's $20 to $30 USD each), it's not stealing to use it, and it's not stealing to let some friends occasionally borrow films from it.

The entitlement companies feel to micromanage the lives of their paid-in-full customers is ridiculous. If you don't want people to have your product, stop selling them the product. And if you sell someone a product, don't act all surprised that they now have the product and are free to use it accordingly.

From you explanation, “toxic masculinity” sounds like a label for being overly “reserved”, “self reliant”, and “hiding weaknesses”.

If it is the case, it looks like an attempt by some groups to shame and to dictate men, who value those qualities, that they must adopt the views of those groups on the male character and behaviour - seen, as usually, as only acceptable and morally superior.

I thought toxic masculinity is more about seeing men superior to women, telling sexist jokes and remarks, expressing an explicit sexual interest to female colleagues, etc. Anyway, it is a misleading and confusing term in general.
