Think we're seeing a huge increase in complexity in DeFi, and Uniswap V3 is just the start. Without a serious effort to change direction it's going to turn into the rooms of quants and computers crowding out the little guy. It risks the entire narrative of giving users sovereignty over their money.

I like that some companies are trying to simplify that and make it accessible again. It's important for the 'democratizing finance' narrative, otherwise we'll have just rebuilt the legacy system on less energy-efficient infrastructure.
I meant more industry specific news rather than general news. Organizations that cover niche topics, usually catering towards businesses or investors rather than the general public. In my case it's things like Covenant Review, Xtract Research, Debtwire, Reorg, etc. There are likely similar services catering to shipping and logistics that would provide better analysis on this situation than most general news organizations.

I'm not sure where you're getting some of these ideas. Paul was very much a Jew. He trained under Gamaliel, one of the most prominent Jewish rabbis of the time. He did also have Roman citizenship, but those two things were not mutually exclusive.

Also, James, while prominent in the early church, was not in any sense Jesus's choice to lead the church. The closest thing to a single designated leader of the church was Peter though that is a point of contention between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Nowhere are circumcision or kosher foods required for Christianity, either.
I believe that is because they require a fission component in order to set of the fusion component. If they could obtain fusion without the fission detonator, it would be clean from what I've read.
I share your general concern. I worked remotely for most of my career before finding an office job that would pay enough for me to move to SF. I'll admit that housing in SF was a tough fit for me and my family, but outside of the housing problem we absolutely loved it. There was a great social network of people living and working in the same industry and neighborhood, and the sense of camaraderie was great.

That employer went all remote during COVID with no intent to go back, and in the end I decided the time had come for me to leave as well and I'm now working on my own startup. And of course, we're remote, because we have to be right now.

I wish we would be able to move into an office together when the pandemic is over, because I'd love to have the social life of the physical office back, but I don't think that will be practical, so we'll probably be either all or mostly all remote forever (assuming we survive :)).

It's complicated, because there are also many advantages to remote, but I honestly feel kind of disappointed that I would prefer to work in that dynamic office environment and despite preferring it I've only been able to actually have that for a few years of my career.

And this is how the web supposed to be.
Do you imagine that one of the social groups you belong to would willingly play the role in your life that church members often do? Would someone from one of your groups:

- drive you to a doctor appointment?

- repair your house when you can't (perhaps due to injury)?

- take you in for a few days after a crisis at home?

- prepare a week of meals for you, if needed?

These are fairly commonplace roles that I've seen filled routinely by members of a church that I've seldom seen arise from other social networks. And never from a health club.

I don't attend church but I've regularly seen this kind of extended community in others who do. The role churches play of an extended family is incomparable to any other social network I know. This degree of compassion and service to non-family members seems to require a greater common bond than just sweating together.
> The thing that scares me about it is when people believe crazy things, they're more likely to believe other crazy things

I don’t think that’s true at all, and possibly the opposite is true. Comparing Bangladesh, where I’m from, to America, people here are a lot less religious. But I wouldn’t say the net amount of “crazy” believes is different. People in Bangladesh are a lot more down to earth and less likely to believe in faddish ideas that tend to fill the vacuum in the absence of religion.

American culture around eating and fitness, and particularly the “clean food” stuff is a good example of this. It’s for the most part completely unscientific, but fervently believed.

Conversely, imagine living in a lovely small town that has an active social life and a commercial scene, fuelled by the scores of people moving out there with nothing better to do in the evenings, who want to get out of the house.

People who don't spend all their energy commuting into and out of a city each day, people who are free from the crowded lonelinesses of the subway, and the hyper-busy trendy weekend coffee-shop.

Imagine a world where you might once again say hello to your neighbours, might know the folks around town. New friends we don't work with -- perhaps, a community!

If we play it right, we might possibly swing a revitalization of our social soul here, rather than sadly slouch ever further toward its final demise. At least, I hope.
Public sector employee interest groups have an outsized influence on every city government in CA, as well as in Sacramento.

Its another reason why CA government is dysfunctional.

CA tax revenues are so high, citizens don't know, for the most part, how much they're being ripped off.
it also depends on the church and with time. the southern baptist church i went to when young didn't have much if any extreme fundamentalism. the one i attended for a bit as a teenager (not by choice) was a little more fundamentalist, but not extreme. i stopped going to church after that.

but really, teasing apart the strains doesn't matter in the long run. our gods are changing, just as they always have.

In Australia most historically “Christian” holidays are for the majority of people just time off to spend with family.

Yes, reading this thread as someone from the UK makes me realise the US is very different culturally from the UK. I'm sure the proportion of people for whom religion is important in their lives is much much smaller in the UK than the US. I think most British people only encounter religion at Christmas and weddings, unless they're of a religious minority group.

Correction: Since the 1940s

"For the first time" is probably not true. This is since Gallup tracked this number. Post WWII church attendance really sky rocketed for reasons that are still not fully understood, but a lot of people think the emergence of the Evangelical movement bears a lot of the responsibility. It's much harder to track pre-WWII numbers, but according to the "Mapping America's Past" authors[1] church attendance was as low as 35% in the 19th century (sometimes).

Beyond the narratives in the gospels, Jesus the man is attested to in several extrabiblical sources. See, for example, Eusebius and Josephus. We have more evidence that the historical Jesus was real than, say, Cicero. And of course the gospels themselves and the existence of the apostles (also real) who almost all went to their deaths proclaiming that this Jesus guy was real are in fact evidence that He was.

Very, very few serious Bible scholars, even the atheist "textual criticism" ones, deny that the man Jesus of Nazareth existed. And almost all of them will acknowledge that, for example, the creed in 1 Corinthians 15:3 dates to within a few years (possibly months) of Jesus death. The denial of the historical Jesus is more a meme in New Atheist Internet forums, rather than a serious examination. It's about as serious as Ancient Aliens.
Have Christians all agreed to take out the gospel according to Paul?
Even if you live in the boroughs, it can still cost a huge chunk of time to get in. Between walking, waiting for and riding the subway, it takes me anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to my office.

That's 40 hours of dead time a month, and I'm so happy to have it back.
Kinda feel bad for them here though because they did things initially pretty much exactly right: paid real money to a developer with reasonable credentials to work in upstream to develop this feature with apparently best of intentions. That is pretty much textbook example how corporations can participate in open source (without in-house developers). And then it somehow blew on their face.

The response then from Netgate was very much on-brand, they indeed have a history of colorful PR. And of course they are ultimately responsible for things they put their name on.

But this also highlights how difficult participating in open source can be.

Do you have a Kitchenaid or similar mixer, a large sink, counter space, nice cupboards, an assortment of pans/bowls, a quality oven and a dishwasher?

I learned to bake bread as a child in my mother's kitchen, equipped with all these amenities. I made some fantastic bread.

I tried it again as a young adult in a small apartment with no dishwasher, a tiny sink, mixing the bread entirely by hand, kneading it on the one corner of a counter not occupied by the microwave, then hand-washing the mixing bowl in a sink with a non-spray faucet while the dough rose before baking it in a cheap oven from 1992.

My apartment was not shitty. Many American adults are currently raising their children in equivalent apartments... more bedrooms, no significant kitchen space, no tools.

A kitchenaid mixer is 1/4 of a month's rent for most.

And yet, when I look at "everything over HTTP" (with occassional divergence to gRPC), it seems like most of it is crudely building missing layers of session and presentation.

Instead of reusing simple common blocks, we have tons of badly written textual parsers mired in historical details of early ASCII teletypes because the ARPA idea of protocol analyser was apparently "connect a teletype".
I don't disagree really - there's still space for intuition and making a guess in places with limited information. I also agree most people are using evidence to drive motivated reasoning for a pre-existing conclusion rather than using it to try to struggle towards whatever the truth may be.

The god question is pretty old though, and most of the religious arguments are pretty clearly wrong/bad. They've lost most of their ground to actual experiments and the scientific method. I suspect this is why we see church attendance continuing to decline.
> People mistake the American Evangelical Christianity...

Hell, people mistake American Evangelical Christianity with "true Christianity". Far too many allow themselves into being duped into thinking that the loudest, most odious, and most forceful are the most legitimate claimants to Christianity.

Barf.
Public vs private funds. If you told me some private resort with $800/night rooms paid their lifeguards this much, I would think nothing of it.
Wish the width was a little narrower, or fluid. Reading on a phone is kind of small.
I don't experience it that way, but let's assume for the sake of argument that you're right.

The topic of discussion was whether #metoo was a net positive or a net negative for women. Simply saying that it has created an environment of fear does not address this question at all. Even if true, perhaps having some people be afraid is a net positive for women in the workplace? Or perhaps it is negative, but other positive outcomes of the movement outweigh it?

IntelliJ products allow you to select only relevant lines in commit dialog.
> the whole thing is based around a book that espouses views that are exactly what you call fundamentalism

But I think your degree of fundamentalism-ness is defined by your relationship to that book. If you see it as completely inerrant, then yeah, you're instantly in trouble because it can be trivially shown to be in self-conflict.

If you're willing to examine the book critically and in context, you do a lot better. Obviously the risk with this is that those doing that interpretation are entrusted with a lot of power over what people believe. But I think there's a middle ground here between the medieval Catholicism that the reformation reacted against (where the Word is obscured to the point that even the secondary texts like the liturgies weren't given in the vernacular) and the rugged individualism of modern evangelicals (where it's Bible-or-bust and writers like Rob Bell are excommunicated for daring to suggest that universalism might actually be consistent with the character of Jesus).

I would see this wide middle ground as a place where we agree on a very short list of actual fundamentals (something like the Nicene Creed, basically), and other than that people are free to study and believe what they want, as long as it isn't hurting others.
Okay, you claim 50% taxation is beneficial for all. It's highly debatable.

But the point it's that taxes should be phrased and understood for what they are, a whitewashed extortion. It has no proportion at all with costs of running a rule of law society. Be grateful that we take just 50% from you because we could take everything!
> The link says: "We’re still learning how well COVID-19 vaccines keep people from spreading the disease", so don't make authoritative statements about post-vaccination spread unless you have a real source.

You know what, that's fair, I should say you "could" still, but again, I didn't make this up, here's the Mayo Clinic giving the same exact advice

> Keep in mind that if you're fully vaccinated, your risk of getting COVID-19 might be low. But if you become infected, you might spread the disease to others even if you don’t have signs or symptoms of COVID-19. This could be dangerous for people who are unvaccinated and at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

> What if I'm a parent of 4 kids and I bring my 4 kids with me? In fact, me going to McDonalds can and does spread heart disease to my progeny, which is a big reason obesity and heart disease are inter-generational problems. Kids learn bad eating habits from their parents.

I am genuinely confused by this example and how much you think this relates to a communicable disease: if you cause people to eat McDonalds, um....I guess yes you are spreading heart disease to them? How is that similar to someone being in the same physical space as you, who does not want to eat your proverbial McDonald's, but has to anyway because they have to breathe?

It'd be interesting to know roughly how much energy it'd take - and thereby how much uranium it would take - to simply build a lot of electrically-powered heavy equipment and dig the same, hypothesized canal using nuclear power.

I very strongly suspect it would take vastly less uranium to just dig the canal normally, and the uranium certainly wouldn't have to be as highly enriched, and it could be reprocessed rather than thrown up in the atmosphere...

I still remember getting my first Manhattan job. I was excited about experiencing the culture and nightlife of the city after work.

Little did I know that the toll of the commute would quickly kill off any such interest.

I feel this is especially because of the peculiarities of the Manhattan commute (and potentially other cities with similar commute patterns).

I was nowhere near as beaten up when I commuted in NJ. But all the hot jobs (and culture!) are in Manhattan. Ironically I had more energy to head out into the city after work from NJ.
This is a bizarrely misleading take from iOS 14 privacy labels. Use for ads optimization/measurement/targeting does not mean sharing with third parties for FB/IG or anyone who runs their own ads stack.
I would argue that it's not monolithic tech bros. It's a monolithic culture that mostly has tech bros. When you don't have good boundaries on subgroups then you don't have a chance for groups to form identities.

Why learn the group's mannerisms/collective behavior when they're scared that they may be called "non-inclusive".
> People return to lean on experts

The problem with this is that people look at anybody confirming their bias as an expert. I can't tell you how many FB posts I've seen where some armchair poster claims that a researcher is wrong because of xyz and it's being reposted thousands of times.

That's exactly where I am on that matter. I don't wear one walking my dogs because virtually nobody catches covid based on walking past someone on the side walk.

I'm okay wearing one inside even after full vaccination until everyone has a chance to get one. It's theater at that point, but its impossible to tell a vaccinated person from vaccinated just by looking at them. So I understand making everyone do it.
> I also grew up in a Christian house and am now atheist--I never understood how people could reconcile "church shopping" for a community that aligns with their views (e.g. not homophobic) with the notion that the core religious concepts are supposed to be infallible. If you disagree with various churches on some doctrinal/sociological point, how do you know that your current church is correct on God existing, or knowing what he wants?

That doesn't actually seem like a problem specific to religion, but a problem with truth, generally. If anyone believes their beliefs are true, they have to reconcile that with the fact that people disagree, which usually proceeds by believing those people are in error or that the differences aren't significant. I don't think Christians actually believe that the truth is something easy to access, given the emphasis on faith and belief that everyone is flawed, etc.

PCR tests have very low false positives. If you've got a tiny spec whatever genetic material the machine is set to amplify... it will happily do so.

The intent of covid tests isn't to see if you have a tiny insignificant spec of SARS-CoV-2 in your nasal passage. The intent is to see if you have Covid19 and are possibly contagious. When you amplify too much, you are defeating the purpose of the test. A tiny spec of remnant SARS-CoV-2 doesn't mean you are contagious or have Covid19. It just means you have a tiny spec of viral material up in your nose.

I wouldn't be worried about off-grid systems personally. That seems like a fair way to reduce the negative side effects.

But, to answer your question, even if 100% of mining were off-grid:

1) Setting up and maintaining a cryptocurrency mining operation still takes up tons of resources, resulting in scarcity and higher prices (see, e.g.: many gamers can't buy GPUs right now)

2) This is likely minor, but the land taken up by your cryptocurrency mining operation could be put to more productive use, even if unmaintained (acting as a carbon sink).

3) Even an off-grid solar operation has many environmental impacts, including all of the on-grid energy that went into making that equipment, all of the pollution caused by manufacture, and all of the use of society's infrastructure that the manufacturing tied up.
