> Fwiw, floats do exactly this the only difference is that you've changed your base from 2 to 10

No, exact rationals aren't equivalent to decimal floating point, which while not as good as arbitrary precision rational or decimal representation is still better than binary floating point for decimal literals. In arbitrary precision decimal or rational representation, or even Raku's bounded denominator rationals, if p and q are decimal literals that can be exactly represented in the representation, then so are p + q and p - q. For the arbitrary precision versions, subject to available memory, so are p × q and p ÷ q. Fixed-size floating point (binary or decimal) provides none of those precision guarantees (whether for decimal or binary literals).

I only know two people who use Fitbits, and both of them have ditched them.

I agree that the number of people doing this is likely small, but such people certainly do exist, and they aren't incredibly rare.
What is being escaped? In these movies, the heroes don't seem to be seeking to make significant changes. To escape anything. Status quo preservation is the game. It's the opposite of escapism; for the audience, it's a comforting blanket of things remain the same. Perhaps that's what they need.

(Yes, they're escpaing doing the housework for three hours while they go to the movies; if we're going to discuss superhero movies, a brutal literal interpretation of everything is not helpful :) )
Ha, when I went to break this down I saw why my reply is confusing. Thanks for pushing back.

Original claim: "Of all the myriad human issues dealt with in the Bible, sexual misconduct isn't particularly important"

That claim is followed by a parenthetical that hints at an argument I hear often: "<<issue>> isn't all that important because Jesus didn't talk about it". The poster is heavily implying[0] that apart from some talk about divorce, Jesus didn't talk about sexuality all that much, therefore sexual misconduct isn't particularly important. Then from there, you usually hear something along the lines of "Paul ruined Christianity" or "The Old Testament God is way different than the New Testament God".

My response was to disagree with all that and say that the Bible treats sexual conduct and misconduct as very important, and to state that Jesus's relative quietness on these issues is a tacit endorsement of most of the Old Testament sexual ethic.

> The Old Testament is positive towards sex, but Christianity is not.

Depends on who you're learning from, I guess, as well as how you'd define sex positivity. Christian theologians have struggled with Song of Solomon for centuries, but most of the people I listen to have no problem saying that it's actually about a romantic relationship instead of exclusively some allegory about Christ and the church.

This original link is pretty weird to me, very much out of step with how Christians understand marital sex today.

[0]: To be clear, I could be reading this implication wrong. But I don't think I am.
> They've been repeating the same message of doom

Who are they? you're citing "A senior U.N. environmental official". It is common rhetoric but it as no value. What is important to know is not what a single person said, but what the scientific consensus back then was.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [1] in 1990 "global mean temperature will increase by about 0.3 °C per decade during the [21st] century".

It seems 0.8 degrees is close enough to the 0.3 * 3 °C they predicted.

Personally, I believe the most accurate prevision we can make today, based on current knowledge, is the one made by the GIEC. I don't see any reason to think that someone else knows better. And I also think that 30 years of research gives us more reliable prediction today than before.

google+ did not fail for me. and many others i know. i enjoyed being part of communities around specific topics.

spamming was the only problem i saw. and i just couldn't comprehend that the same company that defeated spams in email couldn't do the same on their social network.

someone made a comment earlier about twitter killed vine and now tiktok is being a better vine. maybe someday we will see a social network where the emphasis is on communities and not the self. that's what google+ did better than anything that was out there.
I think a lot of the AI functions like smell, Grunt AI and houndeye group behavior rely on this. A lot of it is easy to miss, like Vortigaunts fleeing, hiding and not attacking below a certain health. Houndeyes for example will react differently to quiet/far away noises than loud startling ones.

Isn't that normal? The people in charge are typically older than 40 years. And those were born in the previous century from people born in the same century or the one before, teaching those "old" values, etc. I would say the next 20 years will be interesting, because more and more young people will be in charge and apply more modern ways to do things than their predecessors.

There is no need to argue that perspective, the burden of proof is on the accuser. With all the fabricated hate crimes lately it makes one wonder if the demand for hate is higher than the supply. Your perspective is bizarre and not so surprisingly in line with that.

> assuming it is anonymized.

In the age of Big Data, there's only one way for data to be anonymized -- it needs to be aggregated with all the other data, and the original individual data records need to be deleted.
I should have included that one too. I like the Mac Portable keyboard even better than the IBM 5140 (orange vs. brown Alps SKCM switches were not quite as stiff).

I got a couple of NOS Mac Portable replacement keyboards on ebay a few years ago, but never got around to putting them into a working case.
If you really want to split hairs, I would argue that copying information that is considered secret to it's owner, is stealing in the sense that you are stealing the fact that is is secret from it's owner. It's no longer secret at this point, and you have taken that away from the original owner.

In the context of stealing secret documents from the government - the question is, did the government have a legal right to keep those documents "secret" from its people. Did those documents contain evidence of illegal activities by the government that it was attempting to keep hidden?

Whether or not it's stealing in this case, is irrelevant, imo. If the information being hidden is of detriment to the people and your intent is to share the info with the people it is harming, then I would argue that it's entirely reasonable to share the information.

I wonder if that is an effect of current economic situation. New generations have largly negative outlook on their future prospects. They also have statistically lesser future prospects in terms of income as oppose to their parents' prospects. Debts, shitty jobs, wage stagnation etc.
Maybe even lack of possibility for change; all mass counter culture events/movements where stifled and snubbed as quickly as they pop-uped (for example wallstreet protests).

I am not surprised a reality escapism to simpler times culture effect was created. After all if future seems bleak looking back at simpler easier times might be only coping mechanism.

This is exactly the type of arguments I've had recently about Star Wars and Star Trek. Both franchises are now owned by a corporation whose interest is to serve that to as many people as possible.

As a fellow Canadian can you expand on this?

Canada has been involved in every war that the US has been in my lifetime (born in 1993). Don't know what you mean on hypocrisy on nudity, but I only became comfortable with it when I visited Scandinavia when I was 22; seems like Canada has a similar issue.

I'll maybe give you medical care, but this is an incredibly complex topic. To think that public health care isn't monetized is a naïve point of view.

Somehow, the only thing that the Canadian government has done differently than the US is that it has convinced its people that it is not the US. That's my honest opinion.
I don't think this is remotely true. The rise of China as a notable geopolitical force, the wave of populism across the world's democracies, the return of interpower conflict (by proxy, so far), the retrenchment of globalism, the rapid decline of organized religion as a political force in the US: these are just the big headline-grabbing trends off the top of my head, and I didn't even touch on the societal changes caused by bringing the world online.
That, plus if they don't update you personally and all you get from them is passively watching their facebook feed I have bad news for you. I'd take a bi yearly call from my grandma over the daily shitposts of any member of my family that I haven't talked to in 10 years.
"red danger"? Like when Cuban intervened in Angola and murdered 10's of thousands or dozens of others horrors around the globe?

You'd have to be a hard core ideologue to not look at the 20th century and think the "red danger" wasn't the most evil thing to ever happen to humanity.
LiveJournal and the Path to NoSQL
I have never really been a fan of the YouTube Audio library, a bunch of channels use the same music and I think it subtracts from the video when another video you seen earlier has the same music. I know there's paid libraries of royalty free music, but even then they still get claimed so got to dispute it but it seems some of those libraries have their own form or canned message to paste in to help. I know I've even heard Apple Loops from Garageband get claimed too even those you are licensed to use them. Even public domain NASA clips got someone flagged, because some news company used them in their broadcasts.

Then fair use isn't always considered too, like if you were walking and a little bit of music was picked up in the background of your vlog, say maybe from a car driving by blasting loud music.

I know with the DMCA there's legal penalties for filing false ones, but Content ID isn't considered a DMCA, so why it doesn't count as a strike unless you disputed it and then the company can then create a DMCA actually reviewing.

I'm actually talking more specifically about the culture and philosophy that arose during the 1960s-1980s. It's not so much about the problems each generation are facing (older generations having dealt with a constant reminder of potential nuclear annihilation of the human race), but the underlying philosophy and goals that drive individuals. The dissolution of the family unit and an extreme focus on the individual and personal satisfaction being the core tenant. We've gone from "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll" to "follow me on Instagram" but the theme is the same.

You're speaking about the 'sphere of compassion', I'd say there are two factors at play. There's 'how large' the in-group is (where we could say someone who cares for all animals is more compassionate than someone who cares for all human beings) and 'how intensely' people feel compassion for their in-group (which is harder to quantify, but still a real phenomenon).

edit: Compassion for one's in-group can be very real, even if the in-group is small. It's almost like a breadth-vs-depth question. I've even heard of some studies suggesting that having very intense feelings of compassion for one's in-group is predictive of callousness towards the out-group.

This is one of the reasons I love Hayao Miyazaki's movies. The characters are nuanced. Which is both more realistic and far more constructive.

Take Princess Mononoke for example. There's the antagonist, Lady Eboshi, who runs a mining town and is destroying nature. Generally this would be the complete character. That's the villain, easy to hate. Must be vanquished. End of story.

But then you learn she's empowering women and taking care of lepers, the most vulnerable. Her workers and the townspeople adore her.

Now you have mixed feelings. And the answer goes from "destroy" to "cooperate" and seeking a peaceful, win-win solution.
I understand the point of the quote but I don't agree. I don't think it's worrying that millions of people enjoy escapist movies, we used to have Die Hard and whatever Arnold and Nick Cage were in, now we have superheroes. What's worrying is that the movie landscape has been hollowed out and NOTHING ELSE is available, so different kind of stories are not financed and promoted anymore (at least with the same energy as in the 90s).

Netflix, HBO and the other streaming services are filling the void but artistically we definitely have gone back a bit.
>Organizing means losing the right to individual bargaining when signing a new contract.

Have a good look at that map and it's immediately evident that the starkest contrast among 'major nations' lies right within the EU itself.

The outgoing President of the EU Commission, Jean-Paul Junker was literally the architect of Luxembourg's primary tax-avoidance strategies while he was PM from 1995-2013.

Not only does this speak to primary, 'first order' divisions within a supposed economic union, but the blatant hypocrisy of their leadership (completely unelected, I might add).

One of the 'big red flags' for current EU negotiators on Brexit, an issue which lies at the heart of their negotiation strategy, is the concern that the UK will attempt to offer lower-tax status to major European entities after departure, kind of like a 'Western Singapore'. The other 'most important issue' is that of Ireland and the Irish border. It's not ironic at all, that it is in fact Ireland which has become the 'other Luxembourg', sucking taxes into it's nation from other EU nations as we've seen on these pages with Google, Apple, Dell etc..

It's beyond pale that the EU is primarily targeting foreign multinationals, most of whom are just rationally following the letter of EU was, whilst this gross imbalance perpetuates right in front of anyone willing to pay attention for a few minutes.

This is a huge issue that we need to see real leadership on very soon.
> ...more realistically, I think we could use more stories about regular people who made a difference just by be being good people.

TNG-era Star Trek had a lot of that. Sure, the protagonists were not regular people, but they also didn't have superpowers. Their specialness served primarily to ensure they had lots of problems thrown at them, problems they very often solved through the strength of their character (and the character of the organization backing them), instead of trickery or violence. I miss that in today's entertainment.
