On a related note, let's clear up a few things...

Myth: The "soul" is something separate from the body.

Fact: The soul being a separate entity from the physical body did not come from Judaism or Christianity. In Genesis 2:7, the first man "became" a soul (Hebrew "Nephesh"[1]), he was not "given" a soul. The Old Testament teaches that the "soul" is the whole person. The Bible uses the word "soul" in reference to both humans and animals (Genesis chapter 1 and Revelation both do this). The Old Testament also teaches that the soul can die. See Ezekiel 18:4, 20.

Myth: Hell is a fiery place of torment to punish those who reject God.

Fact: There is no word "hell" in the original writings of the Bible. This was a later development. The idea that God punishes people for all eternity, essentially making him worse than Hitler, is not found in the Bible. In multiple places the Old Testament says that God does not condone burning your children in fire. See Jeremiah 7:31; 2 Kings 17:17; 2 Chronicles 28:3; Deuteronomy 12:29-31 for a few examples. When the New Testament speaks about "eternal fire", these are symbols or illustrations to demonstrate eternal destruction of the evil ones, not literal torment. Also, the place that Jesus said people would go for this "eternal fire" was called "Gehenna"[2] (not Hell) which in those days was just a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem.

Myth: The Devil's name is Lucifer.

Fact: The word "Lucifer"[3] comes from the Latin translation of Isaiah 14:12. It's simply a word that means "shining one", a word that was used to describe the King of Babylon at that time, not the Devil. The King's fall is similar to that of the Devil, but the Devil in the Bible is never referred to as "Lucifer".

Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure about the conclusion. Why do you think the company would reimburse you for $3500/mo for freeing up office space or using less of it?

A company basically pays you for your cost of living. That's why pay is high in the Bay Area or NY, and why you take a massive pay cut when you move out. If you choose to work remotely or sign up for shitty work conditions, they are not going to reimburse any of the costs you just saved them.

Graeber’s model is refuted by the existence of pre-fiat currencies, the Wampum, the Chinese copper cowrie, and Bitcoin. Where Bitcoin is a currency but just deflationary like gold. Optimal currencies of course are inflationary or stable [1].

[1] This is a simplification, the real optimal rate of inflation is really -0.8% as shown in the seminal paper The Optimum Quantity of Money.

All things I know are possible. I understand Git's architecture, just like I know what an inode is. I could re-implement my own (bad) version control system, if I wanted to, just like I could make my own (bad) filesystem.

But that doesn't mean I need to have memorised the CLI invocations. There's a button in Git GUI for all the things I need to do (including the things you've listed), and in the rare case where I need to do something else (e.g. submodules), I can look it up, just as I do in the rare case where I need to make a symbolic link.
Great book and so is Mere Christianity
I've seen videos of old 50 caliber bullets misfiring in guns so I guess they can go bad after a time even if a very long time.
Of course that is not how it works, hence the word 'seems'. But that doesn't mean suddenly all gun owners are educated gun owners with realistic expectations, experience and training.

It would be interesting if a spike in sales also came with a spike in training, range usage or gun safe sales.

> I'm guessing you don't own any firearms and haven't had much exposure to them.

You'd be guessing very wrongly.
It's countable. But you can always add 1.
Guessing from your username, you must be coming from a close neighbour of Turkey.

Consider Turkey's politics:

It's 2003 and RTG comes to power on a gazillion of promises with a historic election victory of a party which wasn't part of Turkish L'Ancien Régime for the first time ever.

The party is nominally Islamist, but of a garden variety. Essentially they are a party of rural Turkey, and they try hard to put something on the table in urban areas. What they put on the table was EU accession.

For a first time, everything goes almost too good to be true. Economy is booming, population is euphoric. The EU accession protocol was initiated, Turkey does a lot of reforms, and concessions to EU. Even the impasse with Greece gets seemingly close to resolution.

And then... as if somebody slams the lid on the piano. Sarkozy pops up like a genie out of a bottle, and a tectonic shift starts in Europe. Then 2008. Then troubles on the Southern border. And then the Lira flies.

RTG now has to choose way for survival for his himself, and his party. He considers what he can still sell to the electorate.

To keep banging his head at EU's door, knowing that the this door will be closed for the foreseeable future, and that pro-EU electorate will leave him, that it's an increasingly unpopular with his core electorate, and that this is a near certain losing move, or do a 180°, and turn towards increasingly more loud whispers in his core electorate of turning towards "proper Islamisms," and overall more hardcore right politics — something which sustained previous regimes in Turkey without fail (or at least did until the next military coup.)

This is how I see it.

Greece really had no better option than to bury the past conflict with Turkey back then.
Agreed, this is the struggle. Look at whats being asked here, its frankly absurd:

How do we make our execs feel more comfortable ...

How do we make it so easy that no exec has to worry ...

Some of the corporations I've worked, the execs seemed to absolutely revel in their ability to make their employees uncomfortable and worried. I give not one whit to their comfort and worries so long as they act like sociopaths or worse. This class of people hasn't had to worry in a generation. Hasn't been uncomfortable in decades.

So the pandemic reveals the charade, and we're just supposed to all agree that is isn't a charade and go back to acting like good human resources? We have been so overworked, for so long, that we get a long moment to rest -- the pandemic -- and realize the culture, the society, its just awful. What have these stewards of the economy given us, and guided us toward? Empty lives, endless work, a seemingly dying ecosystem, endless consumption, pointless entertainment.

This isn't class struggle, its class war. A war the lower class is clearly already losing.
Maybe it really is actually a bad thing.

And by "it" I mean the important thing that you are resisting.

It's actually a bad thing. And you have convinced yourself that it's a good thing. But you aren't completely convinced.

Deep down you know that it really is a very bad thing. One more step on a march of doom that you have been trying to escape since forever. A special door that, once passed through, your waste and hell will truly and finally be LOCKED IN (relatively speaking).

I mean, nobody dreams as a child of sitting on their office-butt playing mental legos forever. But it's very easy to convince yourself that it is great. And the whole world will help you in that endeavor. It will tell you encouraging stories and feed you big paychecks. It will tell you that you are a rock star.

You will be helped at every turn to forget the life that you lost and to pretend that playing robot is a truly good and desirable thing.

Maybe this great procrastination is your gut trying to tell you something.
This makes logical sense. Smaller companies have fewer innovation tokens; large organizations like Cloudflare carry heavier burdens when releasing new products (i18n and a11y primarily among them).

First dose Pfizer, second dose Moderna is quite common in Ontario. We had a ton of supply of Pfizer, so many got it as their first dose, but by the time second dose time came around, Pfizer was approved for teens and Moderna was not, so a lot ended up with Moderna as the second dose.
If two different x can produce the same y information is lost on the hash transformation. Finding _an x_ for your y is not the same as finding _the x_. That said, Laplace's Demon is, well, a demon. Presumably the devil can get the demon to unspool time to see what the input was and the math doesn't matter, collisions or not.
Once advantage is that it leaves the door open for a company to market printers against the label. It could be similar to a 'GMO free' type premium. It seems there are many here who would pay extra for that.
>Is the restriction on making bullets for sale the same as making guns?

For domestic production, it's basically just a different ATF permit. The reason why there's so many shortages is because the cost of setting up a new production line is a huge upfront cost, and if the demand for ammo goes down (which it historically has after spikes) then that will have been a wasted investment. It's actually the same problem happening right now with graphics cards.

>Don't bullets also "expire" after a certain period of time?

Only on a timescale of decades, and even then it's more a matter of reliability because of corrosion and the like. Most WWII surplus ammo should still fire perfectly fine.
> It's never that you can't, it's that you won't.

While this sounds good, and I think is a reasonable guide for many life choices, it's simply not true. If I want to lift that enormous boulder over there, then it's not that I won't, it's that I can't. (Maybe this needs caveats: if I want to lift that enormous boulder over there only using my hands, etc.)

I could believe something like "it's never that you can't try, but that you won't try", and that covers a lot of my procrastination; but I'm not sure if it's strong enough to cover the point you'd like to make.
The linings are also non biodegradable, and a solid multi-foot layer of non-permeable clay goes under that. The cap is also non-permeable clay.

The hydraulic conductivity of this clay is measured in millions of years per inch. It's water tight, and it's super absorbent.

Yes, perpetual containment is what they are designed for.
All quantum events defy natural explanation. Since all physical phenomena derive from quantum behavior, the physical world can neither be observed nor predicted accurately without access to the quantum view -- which we don't have.
Turkey seem to be slowly replacing China in some parts of Africa - well, at least in Kenya and Somalia - as the source of most non-electronics merchandise sold from clothing to furniture. This is just from my observation with no proper sampling done. It also seem to be replacing India as a destination of affordable quality healthcare though at a much slower pace per my observation and mostly among Somalis not so much among Kenyans.
Assuming a binary search over version history is a valid way of finding the bug. If you have a better idea of the probability distribution (e.g. it might've started being buggy any time in the past year, but I'm fairly sure it happened about nine months ago when the formatting of the report broke a bit) you can do a better job manually than `git bisect` – and if the bug is actually multiple bugs, or other things changed that affected the bug's presence or absence (making it appear or disappear in non-trivial patterns between versions), `git bisect` will mislead you.

`git bisect` is pretty cool, but “knowing your tools” isn't the same thing as “memorising the man pages”.
In consumerist societies "pleasurable" is very much stretched, when your life is dull, you'll find spending money on whatever cool guy is trying to sell you. People with big pockets know all about your flaws, social behavior in the large, fads and followers, and they sure play with it like an orchestra conductor.

unlike russian communism you're not forced to do anything but you're seduced out of your mind, I guess it's fair

You mean that?

I deleted TikTok after a week because anticorona was so popular.

A guy only posted stuff which was fitting his narrative and ignored basic logic for his videos.

He also didn't care at all when I pointed out the issues of his 'reseqrch'.

He posted a study saying that they had issues correlating corona measurements to corona numbers. Eve the researchers and the study itself concluded that it doesn't say Corona measurements are not working they only stated that they were not able to determine the right reasons but postulated why like that talking about measurements can have an effect etc.

He used the study to conclude that Corona measurements are useless!

This is super dangerous and crazy that other people like his videos and get their broken narrative supported.

He is literally part of the probl of missinformation.

He also posted a video from a ex vice president for allergies from Pfizer who worked there 10 years ago and knows nothing about Corona who talks about how crazy and wrong it is.

This guy trusts some dude who is not an expert more than real experts.

I have never could have imagined that it would ever be a problem to allow any person uneducated or not to just freely communicate stuff to someone else.

But this is so ridiculously braindead.

I don't even want to accept anymore that it's okay for someone to not get vaccinated because of their opinion. They are probably not able to properly determine if it makes sense.

Start listing to normal and known media again pls! Listen to experts in their fields first!

Always be critical but do not believe anyone else just because you like more what they say.
Okay I just read the article. Yeah this reads as some sort of a baby's first getting to know thyself kind of thing. I've already done that kind of personal soul searching for myself and that's why I don't beat myself up about these kind of things. Oh yeah I realized another thing that usually Sparks my motivation like if there's a technical article or a review of a piece of computer hardware that I want to do... Being frustrated at the current other works covering said thing not being good enough in my eyes... Frustration in general being angry in general motivates me in a healthy way. "You covered this this and this but you didn't say this about the windows install or this about how this was set up and you didn't cover this" and my first impulse is never too go to the comment section it's to go on Amazon or Newegg and buy the thing and then review the thing better. Not even just review stuff for my website but I mean a lot of other things are like that with me it's weird. I love finding stuff where other people explained it just wrong or did something just wrong in my eyes and then I go and do it better or correctly. That is if my motivation takes me all the way to the end and I finish it.
Given that the average is just a means to an end (total P&L), why would they not simply rescale by total shares to make that technical difficulty go away?
Despite the name, LaVeyan Satanism has nothing to do with summoning occult beings as in GP's post. The latter (as with worship of the devil more generally) would instead be comprised under "Diabolism" which is very much a niche pursuit. It's even hard to tell if what looks like Diabolist practice isn't something subtly different, and more like the Voudun practice of summoning some "negative, dark, powerful" archetypal beings who are however quite recognizably different from any "devil". Heck, occasionally even something as basic as worship of the god Cernunnos (a very recognizable archetype of nature and the "male" principle) gets conflated by some with Diabolism.
The obvious boss move here would be for all the ladies to choregraph excerpts from 4'33" this year.
There are many events where bronze is won after having to compete for it head-to-head (1-on-1 individual events like wrestling, or same for team sports)... so they just won in a situation where a loss meant no medal. They likely had more rounds before where a defeat meant elimination.

A lot of psychology probably goes into the backs against the wall scenario. Not only that, 3rd place in typical tournament bracket style is where you might see underdogs rise to the occasion.

So third got what they could ultimately achieve, second failed to do so.

* I have no idea which sports were analyzed, but as a previous athlete in a few sports the above is something Ive experienced.

there are no wrong questions ;-)
As an atheist I must point out this is for entertainment purposes. Although, I see 'selling one's soul' as a contract with oneself. For example, if I say I would sell my soul for a hot-cooked meal, that means I'm going to get up and go cook. If I don't, then the consequences are that I will suffer with a cold sandwich.

This is an excellent reply, more interesting than my comment, and I certainly cannot gainsay you. However, '100' might as well be 'n'. Your reply suggests that there is a struggle to maintain contextual awareness of 'n'. In this model, for everyone, there will be an n+1, a necessary factor where the diminishing returns of mastery do not justify the cognitive load. I do not think the heart of your dispute truly lies so much his model of peripheral necessities as with his ranking of git as an n+1 tool.
Working remotely turned out to be the perk I never knew I wanted. I get back 3-4 hours a day that I would spend commuting, I have much better options for food at home, I get to see a lot more of my wife then I used to. And it makes sense - all of the infrastructure I work with is in the cloud, I haven’t had to roll out a crash cart in a data center in a decade. Almost everyone I work with is overseas, I don’t need to be in the office to have a zoom meeting with them. I’m very tempted to relocate someplace like Virginia which is absolutely beautiful but I would have not considered before because there isn’t much for me to do there professionally (I had to look up what “rockwool” was). The only thing that worries me is that if I relocate myself and the work-from-home movement fizzles out or someone decides I need a salary reduction because I live in a less expensive area then I’m stuck.
This looks cool - would you be willing to share it in a brew-installable format?
I am with you 200%. Just giving the original poster the benefit of doubt.

I think the post makes the mistake of assuming that we are one equal footing with corporate execs and that this is, somehow, a conversation. But let's just give them room to expand on their thoughts.
From the second article

----

She alleges that the violence against her went from choking to punching to death threats, and says it continued after they were both arrested on child abuse charges.

Still, she never imagined he would lay a hand on a child. He wanted her kids to call him “dad.” During their relationship, which lasted just under a year, though, she sometimes noticed her daughter had some bruises. One time, her daughter fell off the bed.

When she asked Good about it, “He always had a story for what happened like … He was holding her and you know, she slipped and fell or that she slipped and fell or the dog knocked her down. You know, he always had something,” she said. “And honestly, I believed it because nothing in my mind at that time ever fathomed that anybody would hurt a child.”

---

That pretty clearly establishes that abuse was a pattern, he was beating and choking her. That abuse of her daughter was a pattern, the daughter had multiple bruises that required multiple explanations. That also establishes that the pattern of abuse continued over time.

If the story was just that she went out, came home, discovered her beaten daughter and took her to the police - then I, and I hope everyone else, would agree that she didn't deserve to go to prison. That doesn't really seem to be what happened though. At least not as far as I can tell from reading news articles.
Some of them -- like peccable - are probably truly dead. But others, at least to me, seem obvious when pointed out. If I ran into "scrutable" or "wieldly" in a sensible context, I'm not sure I would realize they were archaic. A personal favourite "tractable" is still current but already seems to be fading away. Far more things remain intractable.

I have sometimes written a word, and then stared at it, and been unable to say whether I had invented it on the spot as a (hopefully) obvious form using regular patterns, or if I had seen it before and dredged it up. And maybe there is overlap there. Recollection is recreation in memory, and the irregular patterns beckon sometimes.

We see this elsewhere, besides adjectives. English has not used the strong conjugations of Old English in a thousand years for new verbs, generally. We retain hundreds of semi-irregular verbs from that. Sing, sang, sung. Sink, sank, sunk, sunken. Think, thought. Drag, drug, druggen/drawn. Some of these may not be current in your dialect anymore. I say dragged.

What's fun is when new verbs are invented, or when old verbs morph into new forms. "To sneak" is an old verb which was regularized in Middle English along with the rest. Sneak, sneaked. For about ~500 years things could only have sneaked. Then in the late 19th century in America we start hearing "snuck" as the past tense. That's now standard in my dialect and is creeping back into UK English, even. It's irresistible sometimes. "Thunk" was once the past form of to "to think" in some dialects. It is gone from nearly all for centuries now. That doesn't stop me from saying it once in a while for some reason; it just seems natural.
You are absolutely correct, and in general no-one should use floating point for any monetary values. I was trying to keep it as simple as possible without going into the nuances of float vs decimal. I might rephrase it to just "precision" in general, and skip the floating point part. Thank you for pointing this out.
Yes. It's amazing to me that people give any credence on telephone surveys about sensitive issues.

I believe you understand that R0 is not only a function of biology but of human behavior, density, and ventilation. If biology becomes twice as effective and all else stays the same, R0 doubles. The paper you cite [4] is about the British variant, alpha; it was estimated in that paper that alpha was 43 to 90% more contagious than the original strain. Delta is way stronger than alpha, which is why it is now the dominant strain in the UK. I don’t care much about R0 as a global or country average, but delta being 2 to 3 times worse than the original is no surprise, but rather common sense based on the rate it outpaces other weaker variants.
