Your description of the dynamic between you and your wife is incoherent. You assert that she submits to you, but then you say that you make no decisions without her consent. So when she does not give her consent, she doesn't submit to you? Or does she simply always gives her consent, because the submission to you is a predicate. But then asking for her consent is a complete sham, a pretense to give her some agency in your mind.

Irrespective of those contradictions however, a social dynamic in which the woman must axiomatically submit to the man is always inherently misogynistic no matter the justifications, be they religious or not.

Depends on how you define secular. Most secular states are simply neutral and promote plurality of culture and religion, i.e. allowing choice. The other type of secular state is one which is openly hostile to religion.

The US is becoming openly hostile to religion, as many of the comments in this thread evidence, which is distinct from neutrality. I agree with religious freedom as such, with everyone being on equal standing.

If you define secularism as the USSR or China, I would disagree with their long term stability, or even with liking their regimes.

The debate over Glyphosate and genetically engineered crops is no longer a rational one in that scientific evidence has not driven the agenda for many years and the fact that the matter has become highly political and very polarized. (Note, here I'm deliberately not siding one way or other with the arguments as I'm insufficiently knowledgeable about the science to do so.)

A large part of the reason was the widespread reaction to Monsanto's nasty aggressive marketing of Glyphosate and its maniacal and obsessive pursuit of any farmer who it considered violated its GM patents by having so much as a single GM plant on his/her property without a Monsanto license—even if the farmer was unaware that his farm had been inadvertently contaminated from nearby GM farms. Had Monsanto cooled its outrageous behaviour and let the science speak from the very outset then its PR would have been much better and we may even be closer to knowing for certain whether Glyphosate is truly safe or not.

Other reasons include Monsanto's political lobbying to reduce or avoid additional scrutiny from regulators and the fact that it appears to have been less than fully open with the truth about Glyphosate.

Like many multinationals that think normal rules don't apply to them, Monsanto played dirty and ran roughshod over everyone who seemingly got in its way. Now, fortunately, it's getting its comeuppance—or should I say its new owner Bayer is.

Mind you, Monsanto and Bayer make good bedfellows. Bayer too has had a long lineage of unethical marketing that goes back to 1895 in that it forced dangerous and unsafe product on the public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin (see the History section).

Those are of course easy strawman examples of charlatans trying to make money.

This Carl Sagan quote is relevant:

>An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence. Because God can be relegated to remote times and places and to ultimate causes, we would have to know a great deal more about the universe than we do to be sure that no such God exists. To be certain of the existence of God and to be certain of the nonexistence of God seem to me to be the confident extremes in a subject so riddled with doubt and uncertainty as to inspire very little confidence indeed.
This line of reasoning is totally unconvincing to pure naturalists like me.

I simply believe that the universe exists, and that we'll likely never know anything beyond that, as the big bang appears to be the limit of what evidence is possible to measure.

What I don't see is anything that necessitates turning the fact that the universe exists into a principle that the ultimate "cause" must be a being that frankly behaves like a abusive patriarch while threatening humanity with eternal torture.

1958 Project Chariot[1] proposed creating a new bay in Alaska by use of nukes.

Originated out of Project Plowshare, an attempt to find peaceful use of nukes. Like trying to dig up oil/natural gas, for example! Unlike USSR, the US did not focus on radioactively safer fission-only reaction devices, and generally caused a ruckus. Terminated 1977.

After Egypt intentionally blocked the Suez Canal during the Six Day War and an operation was taken to reopen it after the Yom Kippur War it took around 7 months to clear the ships that were scuttled to block it[1].

Everyone is talking about masks but most of the argument is about free trade and I think his point is not really well made. The experts were all pretty clear that free trade would have losers and explained what sort of work needed to happen to remedy them. The shortfall was in the politics and policy making circles. None of those remedies were ever enacted. Bills like NAFTA did, in fact, have provisions to help domestic workers who would lose their livelihoods they were just woefully insufficient. The 90s and 2000s were marked not just by growing international trade, but by growing inequality. Remedies like progressive taxation, higher min wage, stronger unions and affordable college would offset a lot of the losses due to trade but there was no political will to take those on.
This makes me question that shouldn't we have another canal built? Like if so much of the world's economy depends on this route shouldn't we build an extra canal to speed up the transportation and also act as a redundancy
Many governments do censuses from time to time where they ask invasive private questions and people can't even object to that. So this is kind of a step forward to make it real-time rather having a snapshot of population.

I don't know, I've never heard of Arm or NetApp or Netflix having these issues. They just quietly contribute both employee time and financially to the FreeBSD project without fanfare (I guess at times Netflix does blog about their contributions but not in the same look-at-me way).

I like reading about software history and this is a new angle to approach it from. When did people start testing one another on this particular thing, and why not this other thing?

I learned how to write linked lists in some first year comp sci course in the mid-90s and used them extensively in my first job after graduating, which was writing database software in C. I'm sure I was asked about them in various interviews afterwards, most of which involved no C whatsoever, and I'm equally sure I thought this was a completely normal thing to ask. In retrospect, it does seem strange.
Maybe I'm just being snarky or missing the real meaning of the term, but I think of "supernatural" as something that is beyond any capacity to test or prove. Anything that can be proven would fall under my definition of "natural", even if it's beyond my capacity to explain or understand.

By definition, I'd consider any sort of gods, demons, ghosts, or whatever to be either nonexistent or something that exists (which would imply that it's something natural and operates in some currently unknown way).

> If you are parsing "ls -l" output, you are doing something wrong.

> Use your language built-in features

The issue is that current shells _don't_ have a built-in structured data type for e.g. a `struct stat`. But why not?

`ls` calls some APIs and gets some in-memory `struct stat`s populated by the kernel. Then it throws away 90% of the data that the kernel copied to user space and then serializes it as text. Why not pass the structs themselves to the next process? We can't currently (except with powershell?), so you have to write actual code.

This is a "bright line" between code and shells that could very well be blurred, but it would take an agreed-upon serialization format for posix-y data structures.
Also a NYC resident. Been casually looking at apartments to take advantage of the decrease in price of the rental market. Found out 2 things; (1) that if you see an apartment you like you have to act instantly and submit an application otherwise it'll be off the market the next day, (2) the decrease in price is largely a myth. Some are cheaper but it's mostly negligible and temporary. These both tell me that the city is going to be fine. There's still a demand to be here. It's not just work. It's opportunity for culture and lifestyle that people are seeking as well. NYC is still at a premium for both of those.

Do trees actually 'sleep'? Like they don't have neural centers that we consider to be brain-like, that I know of. Further, just defining the concept of sleep is a little tricky and I'm not aware of anything like sleep-ish brain waves, or not moving for a long period of time that we consider sleep-like in trees.

So this idea of sleep evolving in two different species whose ancestor didn't sleep is very interesting.

Very interesting comment.

Actually Michael Maccoby a sociologist discovered in his studies (1960 and 1970s) of what happens when a large factory comes to a rural town. People would no longer mix with each other to the same extent. Instead, after work, they would go home and watch TV. Work had totally altered their social lives. It will be interesting what dynamic will play out in the long-term with remote work.
> If you're willing to examine the book critically and in context, you do a lot better.

Yeah, but in that case you have to concede that the Bible is not miraculous inspired, so why is it any better than other books such as the Vedas or the Iliad? This is the whole problem in the foundation of religion.

It also shows the blindsight of progressive Christians: they're following a religion that at the foundation goes against things they believe. For example, new testament writers say that Jesus came to save from the sin of Adam, but if no Adam and Eve existed, the explanation does't work anymore.

> You say that most Protestants are loving people

I didn't say that actually, though I also wouldn't say the inverse. I don't really know the exact answer, and I don't really think it's important here.

> Very few Christians seem to see the problems with that regime

It is important to note that Evangelical != Protestant, and Protestant != Christian, and Christian != Religious person. There are huge gaps between each sub-category and the parent category; evangelicals may be one of the larger categories in the U.S., and may be largely Trumpist (though even then, not all of them), but they hardly represent the whole of religion.

> the common denominator seems to be an undertone of selfishness and heartlessness

I feel an immense amount of anger towards Trump and his entire movement, not despite but because many of my family-members have aligned themselves with it. And yet, outside of those contexts, I still see them being good and kind to their loved ones and others. I've also come to see that their alignment is largely based in fear - which, even if it's ill-founded and driven by false narratives, is an emotion I can feel sympathy for. Wrestling with this dichotomy - seeing the evil they've confused with good and the ways it's changed them, while knowing that they are still my loved ones and they still contain some goodness underneath - has been one of the most stressful and difficult things I've had to grapple with in my entire life.

But one thing I've held onto from my religious days is the principle that human beings are not simply good or evil. All of us contain good and evil, and (both as individuals and as people with individuals that we care about) it's a question of identifying and nurturing the good, and trying to let go of the evil, each day anew.

Your comment prompted me to look at stats of injuries per km driven.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...

Australia is precisely at the middle. Right now it is 13th.

So, I would like your opinion on driving in UK which has Isle of Man in it. It has much lower accidents rate per km driven. And also three times as much population.

As for AI-reeve theme, AI is inherently biased - due to training sets used. Imagine being one with face expression that is a little bit closer to what AI considers not normal (slower blinking, less eye movement, etc - something like that). You certainly will be held to a higher standard than others just because chances are you will be considered not normal by AI.

"I don't like your face, so I'll punish you for that" but from a robot.

Russia have (and had from beginning of century if not earlier) a system that reads vital signs of train locomotive operators. It is consisted of special bracelet, pedal and series of signals. Bracelet reads heart rate and skin conductance and determines whether person has good health and is attentive. Pedal is used to tell the system that operator is attentive - it should be pressed after a signal is issued. If operator does not respond to series of signals, emergency braking is activated.

That system works very well, we have rather low train accidents rate.

But recently I heard about its replacement and it is all about face recognition, all for the sake of making it cheaper. And I guess it is as not good as the system employed by Amazon.

My intuition is that we will see robot dogs with machine guns mass shootings rather then AI drone dropping a grenade.

What would be the purpose of loading disintegrating box anyway? So it falls apart further down the stream?

This is similar to a situation we often deal in electronics repair business. Some people are very adamant about being careful when reworking around water damaged components because those solder joints/balls/legs are already weakened, when in fact the proper procedure is to rip out and replace everything compromised. Whats the point of turning device back to working electrical order while leaving it mechanically deteriorated - it will come back broken the first time used bumps into something, or when the eaten away solder ball finally gives up after few more heat cycles.

Any time someone would say "be careful or it falls apart" its time to remove/replace it, not pass along hoping to make it someone elses problem.
