> despite our disagreement as to whether justification and righteousness before God is conferred on the basis of faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

There is a strong tendency for Catholics and Protestants, when we all chill out and sit down carefully making distinctions about Justification, to find we agreed all along but had different language to describe the same thing.[1] I suspect it extends to other doctrinal issues and areas of genuine disagreement become much more productive when said attitudes and practices are adopted.

I also strongly suspect that most areas of disagreement between Christians are persistent symptoms of European Renaissance politics with theological rationalization.

Part of why nobody is sounding the alarm is that we just get used to things.

If this month, 2000 extra people die from Y, it's a huge story and everyone jumps on finding a solution.

But if 2000 people have been dying per month from X for decades, no shits are given, it's just part of the background.
Cats have the evolutionary benefit of being cute to humans. This allows them to be one of the most invasive species in the world.

Case in point is Hawaii; attempts to bring the wild cat populations under control are immediately met with resistance from animal rights groups. This is in spite of the ongoing destruction to wild bird populations. One also has to be extremely careful about washing local vegetables, due to cats spreading toxoplasma.

DDG almost fails in the same way as goog.

The only advantage I have seen in results is Google has removed nonsense and conspiracy garbage from their results.

It's the general rush towards infantilism. I want to see the kind of nonsense that has assuaged so many people into effective insanity and apparently Google has decided that I'm not enough of an adult to view it.

It's like their Android dictionary. It lacks lots of words that I have to go and check manually because they've decided that someone using a nuanced word is only done in error

Or with their search where they remove all the important stuff from the query and return the results that I was specifically trying to avoid with those important modifiers "there's not many results with x" - Yes! That's the point.

All over the place they're just on some endless campaign to patronize the userbase. From the address bar that simply just refuses to do http: to a painfully dumb search in Gmail, it's really a company wide systemic problem they need to address.

At least back in the say AOL days, which were renown for this kind of mentality, they kept things at a stable sophistication for the lifetime of the product. It wasn't in some unending rush to become ever more stupid and childish with every subsequent release

Please explicate what precisely you mean by bigotry.

56% of Republicans believe the Qanon conspiracy is partly or entirely true.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/09/02/majority-o...

60% of them believe in imaginary voter fraud and support undemocratically overturning the election. 43% of them would support doing so via a military coup as long as someone else does it and it doesn't overmuch interfere with their beer drinking.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/11/military-cou...

Please note that this is from 2015 long before any claims of election fraud could have been informed by any real concerns. The desire for violent over throw of the government generated the fake election fraud concerns not the other way around.

A former general has a public event where he openly discussed the merits of overthrowing our government like Myanmar.

Sure. Essentially all the videos, topics, and any new type of resources added in the future have Bible reference(s) set (this happens via admin controls). This is another big reason content has to be manually reviewed before allowing it to show up in the app.
> And of course none of these cover the question of whether Windows performance would improve running in a Linux VM.

Well, of course not. It's completely absurd that Windows runs better in a VM. When I tried it, I expected my work "computer" at home to be impossible to use, so I would go and fetch some hardware at work. I was very surprised that it actually performed better than the work hardware (on anything that isn't CPU bound). (And yeah, as much as Windows lags behind on those benchmarks, it's not nearly enough to explain what I've seen.)

There is some other comment hinting at the VM ignoring some fsync barrier. I've seen the VM caching a lot of disk IO, but there is probably some very stupid application level choice involved there too. But on Windows, it doesn't have to be fsync, as there is locking too to ruin your day.
Based on the featured videos, the Catena app developer is actually Coptic Orthodox. TIL.

It does not. Your code is using precomposed instead of decomposed chars.

Try:

let s = String::from("noe\u{0308}l");
println!("Reversable? {}", s.chars().rev().collect::<String>());
println!(
"First three characters? {}",
s.chars().take(3).collect::<String>()
);

you get l̈eon which (according to the article) is wrong; likewise "noe" as the first three chars, dropping the diacritic.
Ask HN: How do I quit my own startup?
I'm a technical cofounder (with one other non-technical cofounder) of multiple years now. The company itself is still alive and kicking. Getting customers, evolving for product-market-fit, has runway, etc.

The problem is I don't want to work on this project anymore. It takes a lot of my time to be grinding out features for my cofounder, and I have a bunch of other ideas & pursuits that are more aligned with my career & life goals. I would be happier if I had time to pursue them in earnest.

But I'm not sure how to pull the plug. There are other engineers on the project, but I'm still who designed & built most of the system. I've also had a lot of input on product direction, in ways that I think have been important.

That said, my main skills are technical. But the company hasn't really required me to push my abilities lately, and the speed of the company isn't super dependent on engineering velocity anymore (we're way past MVP.)

Any tips? Or anecdotes of similar situations? Both for handling the quitting itself (and potential meltdown from my cofounder) and for now to do right by the company (and my investment.)

If this disease made your right hand fall off, everyone would be sounding the alarm. It doesn't. It might take someone who is in the bottom quartile for risk taking and move them up to the next quartile. Their behavior would still be within the bounds of normal, their friends might not even notice, but they might become say 50% more likely to die in a motorcycle crash.

The point being we don't really know the consequences, and it's probably a good idea to study this some more.
Those are great examples!

However, I’m not sure I agree with that allergy hypothesis. The histamine reaction is associated with IgE. This immunoglobulin is associated with parasitic response. A lack of childhood exposure actually higher correlates with higher incidence of allergies and asthma. The theory that has developed from this is that lack of stimulation leads to hyper reaction later when exposed to allergens.

This is all posited by the “hygiene hypothesis”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis

There is a lot of supporting evidence to go along with it. As well as studies inspecting the impact of gut micro biome.
Repeating this bumper sticker mantra is honestly consistently unhelpful and comes off smug, IMHO

> Was I self-censoring in the most dangerous way in the first instance, but not in the second? What brings about the distinction? I felt in both cases that the post might reflect poorly on me, so I didn't post it.

If you as an individual self-censor on a particular topic because of a lack of expertise, that's not particularly dangerous to society - different people have different areas of knowledge, it'll all average out.

If the environment around a particular topic leads every moderate to self-censor on that topic, that is a lot more dangerous because it applies systematically; the societal discourse on that topic will be dominated by zealots who may steer us ever further astray.

> .. it also mentions that gibbard's is specifically about irv.

No, Gibbard's is not limited to any particular voting method. I think you're misreading the next paragraph (and also confusing IRV, which is a particular method, with ranked choice, which is a whole category of methods). Note the distinction between Gibbard and Gibbard-Satterthwaite:

> A corollary of this theorem is Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem about voting rules. The main difference between the two is that Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem is limited to ranked (ordinal) voting rules: a voter's action consists in giving a preference ranking over the available options. Gibbard's theorem is more general and considers processes of collective decision that may not be ordinal: for example, voting systems where voters assign grades to candidates.
Google tests for traditional Computer Science skills taught in a typical set of Algorithms classes at a 4 year degree program. A 400k/yr job at Google hired externally would typically be an individual with 10+ years of experience solving hard problems in production with exposure across organizational, engineering, management, and research domains.

It's a fairly recent phenomena that Google began hiring from most universities at the college level, in 2010 they didn't even perform campus recruiting at all of the top-40 universities let alone dedicate valuable phone screen and interview time to candidates outside of top university programs with high GPAs.

Hell this is the company founded by Stanford PHDs that famously required industry hires to furnish proof that they held a GPA higher than 3.5!
One thing I think isn't too clear with the descriptions here - sometimes it is just that hard to start things you want to do with ADHD as well.

I consider that a hallmark of the syndrome - you are REALLY interested in something, got a project fully prepared around it, and then it sits there waiting for you to do it. All that time you might research it, but it's a problem of getting started even though it is something you are wildly interested in.

Dozens of really interesting things left undone and probably never will get done.

Most of the people who don't understand ADHD and say it is similar to what they go through should be taught about this aspect of it as well.

Further evidence for this exists in the demise of ticket splitting: if you vote R at the top of the ticket, you're very likely to vote R the rest of the way down the ticket, regardless of who the downballot R's are. It wasn't always this way, but has been for some time.

People with ADHD are notorious for starting projects and then leaving them, regardless of how fun or cool said project was.

Procrastinators don't start new projects consecutively. One is a delay tactic. The other is outright avoidance.

Everyone is mentioning cats. 30% of the beef in the US contains toxoplasm gondii. Now, a deep freeze for more than 24 hours will kill it, but how many people eat fresh beef and less than well done?

> but up here in Canada we have a parliament and we're drifting toward a two party system

Actually this is kinda my point:

Canada: Liberal + Conservative = 81.1% (90.5% with Bloc, 97.6% w/ NDP, )

Australia: Liberal + Labor = 84.8% (95.4% with National)

Germany: CDU + SPD = 56% (68% w/ AfD, 79.7% w/FDP, 89.4% w/ Left)

France: REM + LR = 71.8% (79.9% w/ MoDem, 85.4% w/ UAI, 90.8% w/SOC)

I can continue if needed...

These 4 countries have 4 different voting systems but what they have in common is a parliament where seats are assigned proportionately to votes (there's no winner take all). Canada and Australia seem to be the closest to America than the others. (Note that I used house numbers for all because they have larger sample sizes so there's a lower bias in distributions)

So it is pretty clear that IRV is ''not,, the defining feature here that causes multi-party systems, nor weaker coalitions. Though we'd have to get more into game theory about coalitions to talk more accurately and I want to stress that while I believe voting methods is a strong tool to prevent these things it isn't the only necessary tool (it's just the biggest step forward we can make given the current US system).

> (I purposefully avoided the common party names since they have connotations how Americans view politics that are extremely inaccurate).

I think this is fair. As I've argued elsewhere America's two party system is closer to a two coalition system. Which actually Australia is a better example of two coalition domination, IMO, than Canada (though I would say a close runner up).

It seems to be very unlikely that brain cysts (that might affect cognition) can form in immunocompetent people — a pathological study of AIDS patients showed cysts in ~20%; background seropositivity in France (where the study was conducted) is ~40%.

It's a hard question. I think it comes down to: are you more afraid of your top choice losing, or your least-favorite choice winning? If the former, then just vote for your first choice. If the latter, vote for everyone but your first choice. (This is an improvement over FPTP because you at least have the option to support multiple candidates if you want to.)

Some people don't like this aspect of approval voting, and really want to give an ordering or a score.

Score voting is like approval voting, but you give a score. All the scores are totaled up, and the winner has the highest total. This is a pretty good system, but it has a problem: honest voters who aren't enthusiastic about a candidate might rate their candidate 6/10, whereas a very opinionated partisan voter might rate their candidate 10/10. So, the people with the most extreme opinions have more influence: 6 partisans gives a score of 60, whereas ten unenthusiastic voters also gives an equal score of 60.

Under score voting, strategic voting means always maximizing your positions: always 10/10 or 0/10, nothing in-between. Basically this is the same as approval voting. So, I'd suggest that approval voting is usually better because it puts strategic voters and honest voters on an equal playing field.

There's another voting system called STAR (score then automatic runoff), in which you use score voting to select the top two candidates, and then you do an instant runoff by maximizing all the votes for the top two candidates. For instance, if our top two candidates are A and B and if someone marked candidate A as 7 and candidate B as 4, then that turns into A:10 and B:0. If another person has A as 6 and B as 6, then they don't have a preference and that ballot is dropped.

STAR isn't perfect (what if an extreme party runs two ideologically-similar candidates and they both make it to the runoff?) but it's a pretty reasonable compromise system that allows voters to score candidates rather than just making a yes/no choice.
This is so cool. I also had the idea of linking videos to specific passages in my Bible app that I did with Rails (it's old though).
I'm glad to see other people working in that niche. Because the Word of God is so rich and so many scholars have commented on it. Youversion is nice, but there are so many dimensions through which the Bible studying/consuming could be enhanced.
