I don't understand what the confusion is all about. Isn't it pretty clear cut from the etymology of the word what it means?

I interpret epiousios to mean, 'that which is of substance', or just 'substantial', from the epi- prefix and the root word 'ousia'.

In Modern Greek, the word 'epiousio' (missing the final -s, in the nominative neuter singular) just means 'the crux of the matter', or more simply just 'that which is relevant'.

I get that the connotation of epiousios may be closer to sustenance in that passage, but I don't see where 'daily' comes from. The last word of that phrase is 'σήμερον', which means 'today' -- is that where the confusion is coming from?

What am I missing here?

It's not really baseless.

There might not be a high profile "this dude sold a 0day and got arrested" case yet, but there are cases of folks selling software / hardware cracking tools getting indicted.

There's also this really interesting story:

https://www.wired.com/2013/03/alfred-anaya/

Dude caught serious prison time just for making hidden compartments in cars and they put him away based on the fact that he knew his customers where in the drug business.

Selling high impact 0days definitely seems like a risky business IMO.
This has been happening for years, but now that it's happened to a Washington Times contributor it's a problem.
> Does it still work
> If yes, it's not dead

Another point: This thinking cheapens learning. If you only learn, "what isn't dead", you stifle your curiosity and don't learn the whole picture of a thing.
Why aren't these payments taken from the employee then? In my country retirement and social security appear right in my paycheck. Why isn't it the same for freelancers (when they declare taxes)? If their wage is too low as you claim, this isn't something that will change when they become employees, so this solves nothing. If this is about a minimum wage, then the real solution is forcing freelancers to work a minimum of monthly hours, which treats the root problem.

This assumes the meaning of freelancers is being able to join and leave an employer when you want, and not being able to fix your own prices and refuse gigs like others are saying. I think you should be able to open a freelance provider with restrictions, as Uber is doing. I see no reason to outlaw that.
I think it's close enough to ActionScript that those with flash game dev experience can be comfortable.

I think that was even the main point! If I'm not mistaken, OpenFL[1] is an effort by the same people.

One team I used to work on had a really healthy way of dealing with this. Whenever a bug made it through to production, the team would have an informal post-mortem meeting where everyone who worked on the change in question would talk about the cause of the bug, and perhaps try to identify ways something like that could have been avoided.

There was no real interest in assigning blame to individuals. I think that was largely because we required two reviewers to approve every code review. So, when something did happen, it had to make it past at least three people. That automatically makes the mistake a team responsibility and not an individual one.
You also gotta consider the reality that it is pretty clear that our current use is totally unsustainable, and pollution is just one of the downsides we are seeing.

Things aren't entirely good or entirely bad. It can both be true that fossil fuels have created great wealth in a variety of different ways, and is also systematically dooming our future in a variety of different ways. In fact, that is what the truth is.
The current crowning achievement of formal methods is, as I understand it, seL4. It is a formally proven microkernel of about 8500 LOC. There's still a while to go until they can scale to 100kLOCs, unfortunately.

Yep, only companies that are seeking VC funds have to use "cool" technology to wow investors.

While a control group is essential to determine if the effect is really due to the treatment or to practice, if they did the mouse study first and expected a positive effect, then they might have felt pressure to only have a human treatment group in what looks like a pilot trial. Maybe their original proposal included a control group, but their institutional review board decided against it?

I'm a little surprised they wouldn't have done a larger secondary trial before publishing, the impact would have been much greater if the effect was still observed in a larger group, even if they still did not have a control group- or perhaps had an alternative treatment schedule (shorter exposure times- is treatment duration correlated with degree of improvement? Then you have less of a moral dilemma of denying participants of a useful treatment while still getting some data that would indicate the treatment itself actually does something).

These sort of efforts are commendable.

I still don't like the state of parts of ASP.NET Core. 9/10 times I will just write my own Middleware and directly work with HttpContext. Blazor handles 99% of our former MVC concerns today, so we've basically done away with controllers.

Those are fair points and I do not necessarily disagree. I feel some of them should be, ideally, handled by the school though, no?

For example sex education is part of the curriculum of my country and teaches without judgement about the different forms of sexuality and how to safely engage in sexual activities. I know some states in the US teach "abstinence only" which I would not call education but a crime against those children. The internet can only be a band aid here.

Same with finding a profession. That is why schools teach children all the subjects and offer additional activities so they can find out what they like.
How much has the NextCloud source diverged from OwnCloud? Will it also be switching to Go?
In the OOP way you create controller classes. In the FP way you pass lambdas/functions.

So yes, it’s not 100% functional. But probably 80%?

I assume you're referring to Rian Johnson - I wouldn't lay the blame all on him - he's clearly capable of making great fun movies. I think the fact that the new trilogy is an incohesive mess is entirely the fault of Disney as a whole not knowing what they wanted to do with it. I'd also lay a ton of the blame at JJ Abraham's feet - the man loves to set up a mystery but seemingly doesn't ever know the answer himself. Rian certainly made some interesting choices, but I can't help but think that it's because he had no roadmap for what was supposed to happen and no one was there to tell him no.

It looks like US adopted Ruby but in EU it never really catched the attention. EU is is still full of PHP.

I don't think a lot of new companies are based on Ruby anymore seeing on how there's hardly any talk of Ruby anymore. But that's just an observation.
Since the pension is mandatory it’s essentially a tax to pay for a government provided pension. Same goes for everything else.
the reason they use this salary is for tax purposes. otherwise doing tax fraud would be easy with a BV. by simply not paying yourself a wage and living of the BV instead.
Top Real Estate Pitch Deck Examples
I absolutely love PHP in recent versions. PHP7 and PHP8 have really filled in a couple of the huge gaps in the language.
But does every single way to make money have to provide a living wage with full health benefits, etc.? Seems like you limit types of innovation that could otherwise happen. For example, say you create some kind of trash cleanup/recycling incentive app that pays out some small amount for trash/recyclables picked up and turned in. Soon: everyone is outraged that some poor person can't make a living wage picking up recyclables and they try to force you to hire all users of your app as full time employees with full health benefits, etc. That doesn't seem right.
Yeah it's a bit of a tongue twister if you have to say this out loud. I'm just continually encountering words I've never heard and either being completely lost or trying to relate them to something I already know. Like in that sentence:

- don't know what a "žbrnd" is

- "zdrhl" is the l-participle of some verb that I don't know

- "hrd" is not something I've seen (is it related to "hrdina" - hero - maybe?)

- "Brd" no idea

- "srn" might be like "srnec" (kind of deer) but if I heard it in a sentence I wouldn't make that connection

- "Krč" - I've seen "Krčma" as a form of pub, but idk if this word refers to that

These guesses I made are possibly miles off the mark :D
I recently left Apple and my new company gave me a choice of windows or macOS as my device and I chose windows. I’m not really sure why. But I do have to say after not using windows for 10+ years it’s come a long way. Wsl simply is amazing. Vscode works perfectly with it. The office apps are leaps and bounds better than there macOS counterparts. I certainly have never been a MS lover but I think they are much better now than their 90s reputation.
> The state has to protect everyone's interests

i don't think this is correct. the state only protects their own interests. do these align with the general populace? sometimes they do, other times they don't.

My life after quitting social media
Well working peer review is a good thing but is not a guarantee of success: there are many examples of external powers driving things by making sure only those with proper views are selected for the peer reviews.

Focusing on reproducibility helps a lot: when one can do an experiment with fruit flies one can see if genetics or lysenkoism better explains the results.

Last but not least, I agree completely with your view that disagreements are solved today on Twitter and FB and this is not good. While somewhat tangential to my main point (focus reproducibility and scientific methodology can remove most other obstacles): given their impact on society and the active role they decided to play means that they should be regulated the same way as other mass media, both for monopoly checks and for responsibility for publishing materials.
The formal proof stuff is very cool, but I'm getting some unsinkable titanic vibes from how they present this.
> Apple

FWIW, on iOS, links from Google apps open up on Chrome if it's installed, regardless of what your default browser is. Apple seems to be okay with that.

I think your experience is probably limited then. Or you're not looking for them. ??
This begs the question around "more," as though rights were a scalar measure of something fungible granted by a state, like allocating food between children. You probably wouldn't argue against the principle of rights of a minority to protections of their interest, and in the case of this exemption, the individual is the ultimate minority.
I have heard this phrase (daily bread) compared to the story of God providing manna (something flaky, often compared to flour & bread) for food in Exodus 16. In that story, the Israelites were instructed to only collect the manna for each day. If they tried to keep some for the second day, it would become rotten. This meant they were reliant on God's provision each day.

In the same way, this prayer may be about provision of bread enough for today, of sufficient/satisfactory quantity, no more than we need (per Exodus), just what we need right now. You'd obviously then want to pray this each day, and rely on God's provision daily. So daily isn't a transliteral interpretation but more a descriptive one
I am old also, and I have maintained some PHP code for about 18+ years now. From PHP 4 to PHP 7.4.

The changes and improvements are dramatic and wonderful. Improvements in speed, security, error processing, functionality/integration with databases, Composer, etc...

While I am not suggesting you go back to PHP, but things are simply not the same anymore.
These counterarguments are only possibly effective because you're imagining some particular kind of AI. When there is a useful AI, of course we will want it to be able to interact with people and have it control physical things in the real world. Just like existing computers do.
The target audience for it, though, is probably us folks who want to remove dependency injection altogether. It was going against the grain before because the whole framework was built around Controllers and the part of the pipeline that had a monopoly on constructing them. With these changes it looks like it will be fully supported to write server-side HTTP code as if it were a computer program. Like you can in any other language. Better late than never!
Not as a monolithic object. You might be able to do it with an almost microkernel approach (whatever you're implementing) with multiple small, well-defined objects with a well-defined protocol between them. That can be very useful. But I doubt you could formally verify their collective behaviour. The space and time complexity of the algorithms is explosive as the number of interacting objects increases.

> They are only theoretically possible if you allow for negative mass and energy--not an engineering problem so much as a "need to find exotic matter"

Basically people ran the EFE "backwards" to see what matter distribution makes the wanted curvature. You get either negative mass-energy or the bubble doesn't travel ftl iirc.
Every time you hear something being done for "security" or "protection", think more carefully about what they're actually trying to protect or secure. That's something I wish more people would do. In this case, it's protection for securing Micro$oft's monopoly.
If I need a console or error log message to search for to debug I always use that - super easy to find and strip out when the debugging is done, and if it makes it to production I know exactly who is at fault.
In Switzerland and Germany there's a difference between an AG (Aktiengesellschaft) and a GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung).

Both have more or less the same tax and structural advantage (like limited liability, a far easier time to get acknowledged by social security, etc)

The main difference is capital requirements and more formality for the AG. For example: The law requires yearly external audits for an AG, while that's not necessarily the case for a GmbH.

Does Holland also make such a difference, or is BV the only such corporate form?

Note: Differences listed apply for Switzerland. It could be different in Germany.
Then fix the tax loopholes by making it about sales or revenue rather than employment.
> Early screen exposure to addictive digital content actually reduces the chance that your kid will become a genius with deep understanding of the underlying tech

While I agree with this, I'm also skeptical about people trying to cajole a generation to shield them from all that is bad or evil. Growing up, there were a great many things I was not allowed to do, including surfing the net - coz expensive and also so that phone lines would be open.

Every generation tries this futile attempt to thrust their opinions authoritatively on the next. All these kids growing up dealing with ads and interstitials could surprise us by, say, being totally immune to advertising.
> in this case he uses their lack of credentials to explain why they made such errors

There is nothing extraordinary or wrong about people publishing articles while they "hasn't finished their Phd". Having published articles is practically required prior getting Phd. As such, it cant possibly explain anything. What Loanides is doing there is manipulating people who dont know how science works, how Phd is obtained nor know and how publishing works into thinking there is something lesser about author.

In the context of "scientific norms" this is egregiously bad behavior on Loanides side.
It was pretty common for people to need different autoexec.bat configurations even just amongst gamers.
One late night at a Denny's with a long time friend during winter break in college, I asked the waitress if I could buy a mug. She thought for a second and said "No, what?". We laughed, but next time we were at that Denny's, we asked again. This time, the waitress responded with "Just take it, I don't care".

I love this mug a lot - it's funny when people see it in your cabinet and it has a good memory associated with its acquisition. It's a bit small (fits 8oz comfortably), but it's thick (I assume to prevent damage from repeated use by customers and commercial dish washing), and it says "It's always sunny side up in a diner" on the back.

I'm drinking out of it right now :)
I've aways wondered how parents balance the desire to limit screen time with the social pressure to play specific games/be on specific apps.

I had my screen time limited growing up and I'm grateful for it, because it made me mor patient and allowed me to focus on other stuff. However, even near the end of middle school, it was already getting tough to be social without playing video games or being on social media.

Have you found any of these issues with your own kids, or have things changed for the better in that respect?
Same in Finland, Baltics or central/eastern Europe. Almost everything is within walkable/bike-able distance. Public transportation has good coverage, is affordable and safe. Taking taxis is just not something people normally do. From here, Uber feels like a quintessentially American solution for a quintessentially American problem.

Real world example - taking Uber to my workplace would cost me one-two hours of net pay, and I'm in the top 5% earners. Another one-two hours of net pay to go back home.

For comparison - public transportation costs 3€/day regardless of usage, and only takes about 15% longer to get there.
I don't think banning all advertising is a good idea, there is some of it which is actually honest and useful.

A good 95%+ of them are a cancer upon society and even our planet though. I find it insane that we are told to behave as responsible consumers while there is a multibillion dollar industry which sole purpose is to change consumer's behavior.
It's a beautiful language!

I cut my teeth on Matlab, and flipped a coin for Python or Fortran as my language to focus on after Matlab tried to charge our HPC center per core.

Counterpoint: The actual review of an "extremely trivial" change may not take much time (seconds), but it can take orders of magnitude more time (minutes to hours) to coordinate and execute that review (notify team of pending review, wait, ping team, wait, ping individual devs, wait, ...).
I’ve always thought about it as: every tool you have, your shadow has that tool also. If you’re convincing, you can convince yourself. If you’re cynical, you’ll be quietly cynical about your own capacity in the world too.
