> I’ll bet if you repeated the whole thing on cloudy days only the effect would go away. You’d have to have very very strong evidence that dogs have some sensory organ that detects magnetic fields when the sun is right there in the sky and explains the effect in a way that is obvious to everyone.

again, pages 5-6:

> Even if we would assume that these sunshine hours were evenly distributed over the daylight period and the year (as our observations were),there would only be a probability of 33% that the observation was made when the sun was visible. Hence,with high probability (67%) most walks during the day-light period were made when it was cloudy.

There's wisdom in reading the study before commenting further considering your specific rebuttals have all been addressed in the source material. There were literally nearly 7,500 measurement events factored into this study, the majority of which were likely cloudy given the location.
Corollary: the more you try to explain an idea to someone who doesn't understand it (or doesn't like it - usually one in the same) the more they will try to disagree.

Coming to key insights requires either good faith or investigation, coming to true ones requires both. You can also challenge everything and wait for the really smart people to embarrass you, which, as a lazy person, I find an attractive option :)
Thanks for posting that. I went down a rabbit hole reading his off the grid material. I live in a fairly small mountain town but still with a civilized lifestyle: I can easily walk to two health food stores, movie theater, library, and the local food bank where I enjoy volunteering. My wife and I talked about moving ten miles outside of town but decided against it.

The article seems to advocate for exactly what you’re warning about:

Why not go straight to securitizing senior tranches of your recurring revenue, and moving it off your balance sheet?

... (one paragraph later) ...

On the other side, imagine how much investor interest you could get in a diverse basket of recurring revenue from, say, 10 different startups that’ve all raised from Tier 1 VCs. People talk about how great it would be to invest in a unicorn basket; this would probably be even better.

And it is hard for a rich man to pass through because they have many possessions.

These are things you can't take to heaven. These are things you should not covet. This and many other of Jesus's teaching demonstrate that to be holy and good is to focus not on the material, but on helping your fellow man. There's nothing saying you will get barred from heaven if you're rich. But there's plenty that says you should give away your wealth and spend all your time helping others. You know, kinda like what Jesus did...

Since the brine is denser than water, a long hose could deliver it to the ocean bottom for just the cost of the hose. There are lakes of dense brine on the sea floor already.

Almost every part of the world ocean has been described as a desert, before people went under and looked. It turns out there's a huge amount of life everywhere you look, even miles down.

But there is also a lot of room, so anything localized, unpleasant, and temporary can be swum away from.
I jumped on this bandwagon about 6 months ago and I love it. Like many others I had some levels of success with other apps (trello, RTM, Todoist, Toodledo, etc.), but a single text file is a whole new world. I've been do

My setup is a single .md file with typora as an editor. Some things I love about it are:

- Markdown checklists that (with custom css) can be faded when checked
- When I copy/paste an image in (often a screenshot of a whiteboard or sketch) it creates a local copy in ~./resources.
- Outline view on the side (I used headings to separate days, weeks, quarters, and year).
- I keep goals for the week/quarter/year near the top so I see them when I'm setting goals for the day/week/quarter.

The other nice things that's grown out of it is that I've started to create a knowledgebase (popular to discuss these days [0]) that is a collection of .md files (for example injection-molding.md, antennas.md, etc.). Having the same format for it and my todos makes adding to either seem more seamless. Just in the past 6 months the collection has become much more useful than the enormous pile of content I'd collected in evernote over the years.

At the end of the day I commit+push and that's it.

I don't see myself going back (although will maybe change to a FOSS .md editor once it has enough features).

Some differences between the Law of Consecration and Communism are:

1. Nobody is forced to live the Law of Consecration. It is a personal choice and not one forced down your throat under threat of death.

2. Under the Law of Consecration, as practiced under Joseph Smith, families would define their needs rather than have their needs dictated.

3. Communism is about power and control. The Law of Consecration is about individually loving your neighbors.

This was my experience as well (Utah native). I did not experience any shunning when I left, nor have others in my extended family.

Any shunning I have seen was due to other factors than merely leaving, such as the reasons behind leaving (one of my cousins was shunned for drug dealing and running from the law, not for leaving).

The Mormon church has a lot of experience with people leaving and appears to handle it pretty well in general. Of course leaving a religion is a hard and often agonizing decision and is painful personally, and people sometimes project these feelings onto others.

So I guess we shouldn’t provide military service exemptions to conscientious objectors either. You either have separation of church and state or you don’t. As a practical matter I’m unaware of any church organization even the Mormons who are ‘killing’ it with the exemption. Very few people give 1% of their income to their church much less a full tithe or anything more than tithe despite the favorable tax treatment. I submit you’re angry about organized religion, the size of the investment fund or both... but neither are a justification to change separation of church and state.

Fake news is owned and created by elites though. It's meant to generate outrage to support specific political causes. The greatest deceptions it perpetuates are fear-and-scarcity-based appeals to a binary political system (elites have created a policy-bundled system where campaign finance reform never happens and lobbyism thrives). In reality there is abundance and deep commonality between working class people in America, and uncovering it is one of the information revolution's greatest threats to the control class's divisive attempts. Fake news is a tool of the elite to counteract that effect, as is any erosion of critical thought, any disinformation, any suppression of empirical science.

Wow this sounds eerily familiar as someone who walked away from “nondenominational” fundamentalism years ago. From my wedding, to how I’m raising my kids, to even my daily spiritual life - “we’re praying for you.” Thanks but no thanks.

Maybe anyone that walks away from family norms gets this. Maybe the more extreme/rigid the belief is, the stronger the reaction is?

It’s been a long time for me, and over time most people have accepted it on some level. Christmas time seems to be the worst... probably why I don’t even like the holidays that much anymore!
A Simple Bodybuilding Routine for Structure Mass
I have a close friend who experienced this. Just because the church has no official policy doesn't mean it doesn't happen. People showing up at your door for years when you've repeatedly asked for it to stop happening, including new addresses you move to after asking not to be contacted again (I've witnessed this personally, and it is deeply distressing and invasive), is harassment no matter what the intention behind it. And of course there is no official policy of "shunning," but individuals among your friends and family can be counseled that contact with you seems to be interfering with their faith and should be curtailed for their own spiritual good.
If you’re interested in ‘what you see is what you get’, CD is MUCH closer to the reality of what was heard in the studio than vinyl is. Vinyl is capped on the high end to prevent distortion, and cut on the low end to prevent volume drops. The frequency range of compact discs, by design, go from the upper range of human hearing to the lowest range of human hearing. To the extent that vinyl sounds warm, it’s a product of the constraints of the medium manifest through the mastering process.

It’s fine if you like the sound of vinyl better, but to argue that it’s somehow ‘more real’ is silly.
Hmm, this really makes me question whether the numbers are accurate
> 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?

People working at the airport would be encouraged to wear masks because they're in contact with travellers all day. Travellers might wear masks because Singapore's just below China and the cruise ship for reported infections.

(Singapore has also been actively tracing people and reporting the cases as they happen; I think some other countries aren't taking as active an approach.)

For most Singaporeans, it's business as usual. I take the trains every day, and somewhere between 10%–20% of commuters wear masks.
The article was published at the end of 2013. They did get recognized.
hm. upon reading the paper, this is sounding very suspicious.

> The study was truly blind. Although the observers were acquainted with our previous studies on magnetic alignment in animals and could have consciously or unconsciously biased the results, no one, not even the coordinators of the study, hypothesized that expression of alignment could have been affected by the geomagnetic situation, and particularly by such subtle changes of the magnetic declination. The idea leading to the discovery of the correlation emerged after sampling was closed and the first statistical analyses (with rather negative results, cf.Figure 1) had been performed.

Like, am I reading this wrong, or are they straight-up saying "we couldn't achieve statistical significance on our original hypothesis, so we just went fishing for correlations until one of them came up significant, and it turned out to be magnetic declination"?
The fit is too good, and it has predicted subsequent stats with implausible accuracy so far.
Recently my respect to apple is growing more and more because of issues like this. Apple is always criticised for lack of innovations compared to its competitors but their attention to smaller details and ensuring their products just "work" proved to be more valuable to customers than dozens of broken features.

you can use CDS to insure performance of your high quality A+ "recurring revenue" bonds. It is pretty cheap for high quality A+ bonds.

>>Just need to make sure you don't end up with financers/banks/rating agencies colluding to bundle multiple companies together and sell tranches of the debt (all with a phony A+ rating) to investors/funds...

but that is exactly the point of the securitization and high skill in doing it which would allow to bring all those sweet pension fund money into play. "financers/banks/rating agencies colluding " - it like saying violin and piano players colluding in Metropolitan Opera performance.

What you need to understand is that Thomas Monson, who was an employee of the church (notorious for their extremely low pay) for his entire career, had an estimated net worth of $14m. That is excluding the church owned property that he gets to use free of charge, including private jets, cars, and homes. This is excluding free income sources such as free university for all family and extended family members. Outside of nearly every aspect of his life that was paid for, he was paid a parsonage stipend...untaxed by the IRS.

He was no Jeff Bezos, but that is still miles away from being modestly compensated, as they like to pretend is happening. And remember, they're only admitting to being modestly compensated after a century and a half of pretending they weren't being compensated at all...a lie exposed by leaks, not the mormon church. They haven't been upfront about compensation, and they never will unless they are forced to.
Very much this.

I think the Protestants focused on that last sentence, taking it to mean that you are saved by faith, but you can assess if someone does truly have faith by their works. So you are not saved by the works, but if you don't have works, your faith is questionable.
Coronavirus Morning Newsbrief
We'll, there definitely are distinct classes of journalists that have special privileges. These classes are not defined by law but are implemented and supported by institutions (such as when special access is granted to events or killings generate international attention).

There is no such thing as a "licensed journalist" because such licensing has been historically used to limit freedom of the press. However, there is an implicit understanding of what constitutes being a journalist that is similar and it is displayed when Judges choose whether or not to force a journalist to reveal their sources.

The core idea is that intent matters. Building such an app to create public discourse by someone with a clear history of journalistic actions is likely to face different regulatory penalties than an individual with no such history who builds such an app for entertainment or profit.

Edit: There is argument to be made that this "soft licensing" serves to extert control over journalists.
For Windows do you really need any other apps than a default browser and WSL installed by default?

There are numerous rich disciples of Jesus. It is not clear that all of them gave away all of their wealth.

You are correct that love of money and possessions is crucial concern as a Christian, and that Christians are taught to rely on the Lord for their day to day needs.

But ultimately it is the heart attitude towards money. Money is a resource like any other resource, such as time or people. You can be idolatrous about any resource, including money, but it isn't having the resource that is bad.

Anyone who is a true follower of Jesus would be willing to lose their wealth for his sake if necessary (just as it might be leaving family for the sake of being a Christian), but just having wealth isn't the problem.
