But what do we do if the core factual claims turn out to be false? Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, nothing happens after you die, there is no anthropomorphic super-entity like the biblical god or Allah from Islam, and so on.

If it this turns out to be the case, we can’t just pretend otherwise.

Can we make a better religion that doesn’t depend on false myths?

I had a similar flashback recently.

I remembered the old Star Trek game game from the seventies. Many versions of it are available on line, but each was specific to a particular version of basic - versions I didn't have.

I ended up downloading one of the more promising versions of Star Trek, and then implementing a basic interpreter to run it, in python.

For me, part of the fun was implementing things like code coverage and data breakpoints. Tools I never had then, but were handy to have to find issues now.

I will like to say I've been to anti-vaccine mandate rallies. I have found all of them with no exception to be anything matching the description.

I admire your social media asceticism.

I've been somewhat careful about what I put on social media, moreso lately, but I think you have really good points about this.

I've been somewhat Anti-Google for a while but explaining why they're bad to the average person falls on deaf ears. They won't care until google bans them or deletes all of their files. Google banning personal documents has been more publicized recently, but it won't slow the layperson down who thinks "nobody is interested in me" or "I'm not doing anything wrong!".

There will be a day that the Government and/or Google thinks you're doing something wrong and you'll lose out. We see FB handing out bans/timeouts for stupid things regularly, its only a matter of time before there's some government blocklist that they will all follow and be able to place you on...

The term “selfish gene”, as coined by Dawkins, actually is orthogonal to individual, familial, species or “line” fitness referred to by the parent post.

Under the selfish gene hypothesis, genes seek to increase their own reproductive success, and it’s not a rule that this is aligned with an organism or species fitness. (Of course, genes don’t actually “seek” anything in the personified sense)

Why don't we do accounting in the same way we schedule google calendar meetings?

Storytime:
A’s manager is M and they have 2 options to schedule their meetings:
• Option-1 with google calendar:
1. A checks with M on call/slack for when she is available for a call tomorrow.
2. A then creates & schedules a meeting on google calendar with details like - date, from time, to time, duration, agenda, and shares the meeting info/invite to M via her email id.
3. M is notified of the meeting, and she reviews the meeting info, edits the agenda points, and accepts the invite.
4. Then A is notified of the edits to the agenda points and the acceptance of the invite by M. A can see the new agenda and feels edits by M are relevant and hence does nothing, implying his acceptance to the new agenda.
5. The above process happens 4 times that day and at the end of the day A & M are scheduled to meet 4 times the next day.
6. A & M review their google calendar at the end of the day to plan their next day based on the meetings scheduled

Well they certainly haven't been teaching system dynamics.

The price of manufactured goods has dropped significantly, thanks to technological progress and offshoring. The Fed has a mandate that average consumer prices must always be going up. Housing is one of the few areas where the Fed can create monetary inflation that reaches consumers, since instead of giving away newly-created money it generally has to be in the form of loans. Therefore, the price of housing will shoot up to compensate for manufactured goods dropping. And the more efficient technology becomes, the worse the effect will be.

Upscaling from the Perspective of My Own Pixel Game Art
Dude, I write financial applications in Node. Node IS javascript.

These applications run on the back end. Some of the API facing VMs have been attacked and so to be honest I've configured them so that if someone did get access to them, they wouldn't find much. Maybe just some API keys I can invalidate. Although I probably won't do it -- an obfuscator like this could be very handy here.

Here's a related article not behind a paywall:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/sep/24/scientists-m...
The short answer is no. It didn't help, but it wasn't the only thing.

1. Around that time, I worked for a telecom startup down the street from Nortel in Kanata. It went bankrupt after Worldcom dupped us into thinking it was buying our tech. It was a lie, and Worldcom was cooking the books. Telecom was starting to implode. Who knows who else was lying.

2. EVERYBODY in Ottawa knew someone that worked at Nortel. How could one, or a few hacks, take the work product of thousands of thousands of people and create another products. Heck, I can barely understand some of the open source products, and they have docs! Maybe they solved a problem of how some things were being done?! Either way, it's one thing to get ahead, it's another to stay ahead.

3. My good friend at the time was one of those that went down with the ship. Lost all his stocks and years and years of work at Nortel. He was a senior engineer and he told me mismanagement was starting to happen from the late 80s. Even in the late 90s, Nortel was throwing so many parties, and hiring anyone. They were just burning money. We always wondered where did they get all the money and how could they afford to hire so many people that barely qualified?!?

I don't claim to have all the answers, but like most things in life, it's not one cut that kills you, it's the other 999.

Really? Spotify and Netflix pale in comparison to what Napster was. For all the content you think you have access to, Napster gave us the ability to see what other people had stored on their drives, stuff that they wanted to share rather than whatever media Spotify has a license for. That opened a world of discovery unmatched by any streaming service, or all of them put together. Want a club track from an unknown Russian group that only existed for a few nights back in 1998? That was on Napster. Netflix cannot deliver classic Simpsons episodes.
> Except the person who is religious will always have a limit to their rationality, because they choose "believe in magic" instead of "knowing and not knowing".

I do not agree. Being religious does not necessarily mean that you will be "magic" instead of rational. One who is rational can do and figure out things fully rationally, independently from the relgious things and from "magic", just as much as you can speak two languages without having to speak both languages at the same time, or liking a book without having to believe that it is a true story.

Thanks a lot for the advice. With my savings, I can afford to resign. But then, that could be a problem in the job search since they will assume, its a layoff. At the same time, holding the head high is also difficult. Which is the reason, I am pretending I am unaware of whats happening. I also know that its not very easy for them to lay me off since I have a good reputation across the group. Of course nobody is immune.
"If Jonathan and Mira’s relationship seems better than Johan and Marianne’s, it must also be acknowledged that Levi sets his couple an easier problem. Bergman suggested that marriage was meant to address a metaphysical need: our connection to reality. Levi, by contrast, sees marriage as a way of navigating one’s place in the economic and social order.[..]. The shift is telling. If marriage is composed of a set of tasks or projects—a career, parenting, keeping a home—its failures can be displayed as extrinsic to the question of how spouses connect. Levi’s diagnosis is something like: these people have different priorities. This means that their lives can succeed to a greater extent than their marriage does. What was, in Bergman’s hands, a horrifying picture of the limits of human contact becomes, in Levi’s, a set of increasingly independent journeys of personal growth."

This is I think a fantastic observation about a lot of fiction that deals with personal relationships today. What bugs me about so many of them is how narcissistic they are in the sense that the question all of them seem to pose is how relationships can be managed like a project, almost like a self-help career guide.

As the article points out Bergman's original piece asked fundamental questions about the nature (and limits) of human connections. From the first two episodes of the new version I've seen it has exactly the kind of atmosphere the article describes, how marriage is 'managed' and organized in relationship to work, careers and so forth.
Rallies of that sort aren't attended by rational people anyway. That's not where most people opposed to mandates align politically. The rallies are political stunts and attract the same crowd you'd expect at an old circus freak show. Just like framing Republicans based on what you saw at MAGA rallies, or democrats by whatever drama AOC is up to at the moment - those are the 2-5% fringe folks that make for salacious clickbait, while the remaining 90% of adults in the country are more boring and complicated.
It seems topical and coherent, why do you think it is artificial?
I don't think you have correct examples of memes not benefiting their hosts. Those are examples of them not benefiting other people who aren't the hosts. A better example would be something like martyrdom. A religion that's perfect for its host might turn out to be one that exterminates or enslaves all non-hosts - if it could somehow achieve that without sacrificing its own hosts.

> Backing up to a computer could be made somewhat easier, though.

How? It's about as easy as it gets. It's just easier to use iCloud backups because it takes less steps.

> And iCloud could have a warning instead of being on by default.

Why? If it had a warning and the person doesn't have another computer to back up to, they wouldn't have backups at all. That actually makes things worse for the consumer.

You could theoritally make an argument that the phone could auto-detect if you have a suitable computer for backing up to and then suggest that instead of iCloud, but why would Apple do that?

And furthermore, there would then need to be additional warnings about how you need to back up your computer too otherwise if you lose your phone then your computer is your only backup until you get a new phone.

I think you're grasping at straws here. It's a better user experience for the average user to just have iCloud on by default. They made it plenty easy for power users and even non-power users who care about privacy to avoid iCloud. I don't think they have a legal or moral obligation to steer you away from iCloud.
Idk. The parent post shouldn't have been voted down imho. The problem is such a long time has elapsed everything is getting murky.

In other words, now SARS-CoV-2 is being passed from humans back to other animals. Who's to say what direction things went in at this point? Wouldn't bats be even more susceptible than, say, lions?

I assume you could maybe tease some of this out with molecular phylogenetics but who knows at this point.

I agree. If you look at, say, Ancient Egypt from the start of the old kingdom to the end of the middle kingdom (a 1000 year period), people's lifestyles changed very little.

Compare the start of the 20th century to the start of the 21st (a mere hundred year period)—the differences are amazing. Air travel, radio and television, computers, cars being universal (in developed countries at least)—the list just goes on, both big and small.
