The church does have extrabiblical volumes of scripture, which also testify of Christ and go into more depth, but every doctrine of the church is in harmony with the Old and New Testaments. Members believe it is only by faith in Christ and by good works that they can be saved.

Not many ICOs led to efficient product development, but most of them were also not scams. Most teams that ICOed had a profile similar to early stage tech startups. The outcome was usually what you’d expect if you gave a bunch of inexperienced seed stage companies series B-sized piles of cash. They didn’t have the urgency developed by running on a shoestring in an earlier stage of the company and they didn’t have the direction of having actual users, so they generally have been puttering along and taking their sweet time on the tech.

That being said, most ICOs were not put together by scammers, and many of them have made an honest effort to produced technically advance systems that are often not useful in the real world.

The fact that this author needs to insist that every single ICO was totally fake and has stock photography portraits of fake developers shows that he has an axe to grind and casts doubt on the article.

People are caught in a local maxima of thinking securities laws alone stop scams. Theranos, Madoff, Enron were all securities. There are 3 ways to stop scams.
1. Better enforcement of the laws we have (doesn't work in harsher parts of the world.) It's usually post-facto and rarely recovers funds from those harmed.
2. Yell at people to be smarter. Your speech isn't funded as well as the scammers, and your pitch isn't as compelling, you often bring awareness to the scam and thus victims for free.
3. Out-compete the scams for money by marketing to their would-be victims things that aren't scams. Maybe that's an index fund, maybe it's a business opportunity, that can scale, and work everywhere.
The only scalable solution to the scamming problem is similar marketing tactics for honest projects. Starve the scams of resources.
I certainly post this sort of moderation comment to anyone who I see breaking the rules, but I try not to copy and paste them. Inevitably they are pretty repetitive though.

It always feels like the other person started it and did worse, which is why you need to follow the site guidelines regardless of what the other person does. I don't mean 'you' personally, of course. We all do.

I didn't read your account history closely, so it's possible it wasn't primarily ideological. But to stay on the right site of the guidelines, make sure that you're using this site for intellectual curiosity, not arguing with political enemies. That's important, and when people do that as intended, their comments take on a different quality that is more conducive to curious, thoughtful conversation.

The rule exists to try to dampen what is probably the worst kind of toxicity we see here. I've written about this extensively; if you page back through https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... you'll find plenty of explanation.
This is also called the "poor people tax", because the merchants all bake these fees into their prices, which rise accordingly for all customers, including those who pay cash, or use debit cards or credit cards without those kickbacks. In order to evade the "tax", you are basically forced to pay with a credit card that has good kickbacks (>= 2% is acceptable if I remember correctly) so you recoup those 2% that are implicitly included in any price of any good in any store. Those who lose out are people with poor credit rating, because they either have no access to the best cards or have to pay ridiculous fees to get them.

In my eyes it's useless circulation of money in the best case (when recouping via kickback) and a tax on the financially illiterate or poor in the worst case. In any case it is creating a lot of expensive administrative overhead for no economic purpose whatsoever, and thus a healthy capitalistic society should want to get rid of it - which is even relatively easy to do in this case, as the European regulation demonstrates.
The mortality rate is unknown. The best estimate is on the order of 1%, but it could be a factor of 10 either way.

The mortality rate will be different depending on the health system, since a significant number of people with this virus require either supplementary oxygen or more seriously ICU care.

If this were to become an epidemic in India for example, a higher mortality rate would be expected. In Africa it could be severely bad due to the large numbers of people with AIDS and the tendency of this virus to suppress the immune system.
This plant grows all over Texas. I can't count the times I've had the pleasure of introducing someone new to hiking or the outdoors how this plant responds to stimuli. I was thrilled when I found some growing on my land here in north Texas.

And then ten years later. after seeing TopGun IV, one of those kids wants to become a fighter pilot. "Sorry kid, the optometrist just discovered your right eye has a huge blind spot in blue wavelengths. You will never fly, and you might want to think twice about driving after dark." One slight accident as a kid can vastly alter future career paths. Safety equipment or not, children simply should not be around lasers at these powers.

Lasers like this, even diffuse reflections of the working surface, can instantly and permanently give you color-specific blind spots. The human brain quickly fills in the gaps. After a couple days you will think all is fine. Your standard eye-doctor visit might not turn up anything. Only years later, when you get a colour-specific field test, do you finally realize that you just don't see blue/red from one direction.
That's exactly what I don't understand. Logically, wouldn't deaths typically lag diagnosis by some amount? If so, we would expect the death rate to be higher than current deaths/cases because we need to use the confirmed cases from some number of days ago. That number of days being the average time between someone being diagnosed and dying.

Another stat is that there are roughly 700 deaths and 2400 recoveries, which would indicate a mortality rate of 23%. Of course, this suffers from the same delay issue as the 2% calculation (T_death < T_recovery). But the possible range is 2% < M_rate < 23%

> These are water cooled so you'll need a very clean water cooling setup too.

This can be a $20 immersion pump, a 5 gallon bucket, a filter, and some tubing. This won't let you cut all day long in a warm room without a slope off in performance, but you can run several long jobs a day.

If I wanted to cut more, I think I'd add more water before doing anything fancier like radiators or even chillers.

Slightly harder is the air assist, but again cheap pumps will do it, and then there's the exhaust system-- usually you use a small industrial blower and dryer vent.

> Class 4 lasers in the US require a lock and a very simple, contactor-based, big red emergency stop power kill switch would be a good idea too. Industrial emergency buttons can be found on AliExpress, eBay and AliBaba. Anyone with common sense will slap some biggun "Class 4 laser in operation" lights with some andons at all possible entrances and tie it in to the unit operating.

Usually one just makes it class 1-- put it in a box, with a window opaque to infrared, and an interlock that disables the beam if the box is opened.

E-stop is important because you will eventually have a fire.

> A vacuum table,

The whole nice thing with a laser is you don't need hold down because there's no cutting forces.

> indexing (calibration/zeroing)

Usually what you do is just combine a red diode laser onto where the beam goes. I do have a square fence I added to my laser that I can align work against, but I usually don't use it.
My text file just turned 21 :)

I tried various automation things, org mode, scripts, markup for time spent (so I can automate timesheets, ugh) but none of it stuck. org mode in particular is like a straitjacket with the indentation rules. So text file it is.

I do keep command lines in it occasionally but ever since I started using eternal bash history that I version control I stopped recording those separately very much.

PS I find myself using Trello for home hobby projects, by using an "active" lane with 7 bottom cards being days of the week Mon-Sun. Then, TODO cards go on the top of the lane, and when I feel 95% confident I can get any given card done I drag it below a day of the week and make very sure it gets done. That way the system means something, and as a result I am pretty conservative about what I promote. If I know in my heart I won't really get it done tomorrow, I put it the day later, break it up into smaller tasks, or just leave it.

Unfortunately, even that is particularly impractical on windows. I'm not sure exactly who thought up the disastrous library feature, but the net effect is that it makes it really, really hard to organize stuff into folders. The arbitrary top-level boxes MS thought of are always in the way; and they're sometimes an alias for a folder, but in other ways quite different. If truly everthing were easily mountable inside a library, then maybe it would work... but the reality is that people (shockingly) have multiple storage devices, and libraries work terribly with that. But I think worst is just the generally inconsistency; everything is "special" and nothing works quite like anything else. Add to that the fact that all kinds of programs store their "user" data in your documents, using poorly-names hardcoded folder names (including lots of microsoft apps), and pretty quickly everything just turns really messy. I don't think I know anybody - technically inclined or no - that seems to be using the library feature as it was intended; most people either just accept utter chaos, and treat the PC largely as throwaway or hope they can find something using search (oh boy); or they use a parallel structure entirely divorces from the libraries, and live with the fact that lots of the OS apps and views will then make you jump through hoops to access stuff where you actually store it, because the OS always offers stuff like libraries first.

Folders work. Tags can work. Search can work. The frankenstein folder-search monster that is windows 10 used as designed - that simply doesn't work for anybody.

Some LD trivia:

- It was the only consumer format that provided standard NTSC/PAL SD video without reformatting. Macrovision didn't work on them either so there's no copy protection.

- Most LD's have digital sound, which literally is CD audio - not just the bitrate but the analog encoding and digital metadata as well.

- The disks were expensive to produce (a dual-sided disk in low/moderate quantity was about $20) and if the glue wasn't done Just Right, the disk would degrade/rot over time. (The majority of surviving disks are just fine today... but some of particular interest to people, like the Domesday disks, aren't!)

Latter Day Saints don't believe TEOTW involves the destruction of the world or even of world governments. Only the "wicked" will be destroyed at the second coming. I.e. Germany and the German government will likely still exist and operate for some amount of years after the second coming, but all wicked Germans will die off. The remaining Germans are all good people and will all eventually be converted to true Christianity (including good atheists)

Nations will slowly be absorbed into Zion, a communist utopian nation ruled by Jesus Christ himself and the world will see unprecedented prosperity for 1000 years.

I found that the media aren't doing a very good job. It seems that every new case leads to a new article, which isn't really helpful to understand the spread of the virus, the possible scenarios, how are the countries prepared, how worried should we be, what is the latest knowledge on the virus and so on. The last think I need to know is that some taxi driver got infected.

I also notice that people aren't following recommendations. For instance, I saw everybody wearing a mask at Singapore airport but I couldn't find any official recommendation saying to do so, unless you're sick. So should I wear a mask?
> It's an organization which does not allow you to leave with your dignity intact.

This is definitely not true. As a Utah native and one who left for my own reasons and still has family in the church, I would say that this statement is completely false. The Mormon church does not practice nor endorse any doctrine relating to shunning or harassment. Just because you left with some personality conflicts and bad terms with members doesn't mean anything. Statements like these generally do no good for anyone, and only further radicalize opposing views instead of urging people to engage in an meaningful discussion.
