> Papal infallibility today doesn't seem to be what it was in the past in the minds of many American Catholics, however. There has been a surprising amount of direct criticism of the pope among conservative American Catholics in recent years

That’s not how Papal infallibility works. It has to be explicitly invoked and only for matters of faith and morals. Furthermore doctrine cannot be changed. The Pope can’t speak infallibly about science. So Catholics are free to accept or not what he says on the subject. That’s not the case for abortion. We don’t get to say we disagree with the commandment against killing human beings and remain in good standing.

Also do not confuse loyalty to the Church with loyalty to the clergy. There is quite a lot a Catholic can legitimately be critical of there.
Oh I didn't think of that reason, that makes sense! Not sure why I got so downvoted though lol I was just curious

Edit: I see now, you edited your comment and I think that caused a lot of confusion
Yeah, exactly. If that happened to Google, they would lose value in a way that Facebook wouldn't. That's why I trust Google.

I'm sure millions of others at least implicitly share my opinion. And, I'd argue, the more explicit this opinion becomes, the more real the value and the greater the risk to Google for being a poor data steward.
The whole battery thing is BS because this isn't an electric car mandate. They can still make hydrogen fuel cells.
Don't bother. Feeling helpless all the time is a good way to avoid frustration, joy, or anything worth feeling, really. It is also incredibly easy. If you look for reasons to feel bad you're surely going to find them. Hope is reserved for the courageous. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers!
So this is an assemblage of FOSS software, presumably with a bit of custom glue software thrown in. The 5-user limit is if you want FREE-BEER support. It's not very clear.

I'd like to know what they used to build it. Postfix, apparently (good choice). I'd like to know what other components they are relying on:

Dovecot?

Some OSS CALDAV server?

Many people have tried to implement a free version of Exchange Server/Outlook. Despite the overall crapness of both MS products, those people have struggled.

If these people have managed to do it using COTS FOSS components, I'd like to know what components they are relying on. They don't seem to be offering that information on their website.
Also, the Pope was not a scientist in my registers. Maybe it’s a match because climate change involves more “belief” than science, and they’re both about ideology adherence?

Maybe the ideological match is that this pope seems very fond of the idea that every human is equal, to the point one should not be measured by how much they work or how peaceful they are. And therefore, countries which have already implemented good things for climate change such as regulating their population and reaching lower density, should not, according to this pope, benefit from any permit to collectively consume as much as a dense country, which means that grossly overpopulated countries must not perform larger efforts than the West, and which also means that the country who grossly overpopulates itself is still bound to win the power balance. The West man holds, in this pope’s ideology, a very sour place anyway, he is practically the epitome of the current progressist ideology.
> Nowadays in the US, even the suggestion of public healthcare is an untouchable evil, because helping your fellow man is seen as being taken advantage of, and the idea that someone might get something for free is abhorrent.

Private healthcare is also a restricted public (or "group") healthcare. You pay your premium along with the rest of your group (the section of the market that can afford and wants the same provider); the fund's management organise the healthcare and any parallel investment. The "socialist" view is that everyone within the political boundary (state/country/etc) pays into one pot, nominally run by elected officials. The "private" version is that subsets of the political boundary each have their own and the market decides the sets. The _healthcare_ part is the same (quality differentiators aside).

Anyone complaining that social healthcare is wrong/immoral/offensive is lying to themselves.
Disagree. Not everything should be for sale to those with money. You'd end up with something similar to class justice.

Also, climate change is something we have to fight together. How will it look if everybody is forced to do X, but the rich people on TV all do Y?
Data scientists wants salaries like software engineers which is why they get requirements like software engineers. There are plenty of data scientist positions where all you need to know is excel, but those doesn't pay nearly as well. And if you look at the typical software engineering position there is almost always a slew of adjacent technologies, it is hard to get a position today where you only have to know one thing.
> some out-of-band method

> some external certification process

Or just skip the extra complexity and have it all handled by a central authority?

Yes, you can use a blockchain to implement it how you describe, but I still don't buy that it has any real advantages. Also, who would run the blockchain?

> a whole bunch of DMVs could very well post to the same blockchain and only trust the validity of ID tokens issued by one another

> with independent issuing authorities trusting one another

If they are the only ones who can issue tokens and they have to trust each other anyway, why does it need to be a blockchain anyway instead of some shared database? Or if you want to keep it distributed, a peer-to-peer distributed hash table or other peer-to-peer database of ID tokens that only the DMV's have write access to. No need for a blockchain.

> if you have a California driver's license and I (as a Nevadan) want to verify its validity

If all the states share a blockchain, then they could just as easily share a database and web interface that you can look up. If they don't share a blockchain, then I don't see how its any different from each having their own system. I mean, even if its a blockchain, how well it works is then up to each state and if there's a centrally mandated blockchain they should be using, then there could also be a centrally mandated database they could be using. It just moves the goal posts around, it doen't in itself solve it. The person checking (bar staff in your example) still need a website or app that they can input the data to derive the hash (as not to leak personal data) and check the hash against the blockchain, this could just as easily work against a central or state database and how well it works, in either case, is still very much dependent on each state.

It seems overly complicated to build this on or as a blockchain.
But they'd have a place they could send all their now useless employees to.
As I remember for SARS-1 it was bats via palm civets sold in wet markets.

It would be interesting to see an updating Bayesian model played out over 18 months of investigation into SARS-COV-19 natural origin with no result so far. Absence of evidence is not proof of non-natural origins, but it does shift one's priors.

Thanks. I guess beyond the stereotypes there's no actual conspiracy theorists. Just people reasoning imperfectly with imperfect data.
I wrote a dismissive comment, but I'm curious on why you think its possible not to expose TZ.

There are a lot of contexts in which I need to know the TZ. Logs are a really common one (though they should be in UTC). Calendars are the most common.

I've seen a few calendar systems that default to the invite sender's TZ. I needed to know TZ to appropriately schedule my calendar.

The value of secrecy in matters of commerce and state has probably been recognized from the get-go. Beyond that, nobody thought sailors had much in the way of rights; in 1571, almost a century later, there were tens of thousands of galley-slaves on both sides in the battle of Lepanto.

> It unfortunately that there is so much misinformation about things like the bailout

If you are an organization with 6000 nukes, 22T GDP, largest navy and airforce you don't get to cry about "misinformation".

People don't like QE and bailouts. Period. The burden of the proof is always on the person/organization trying to sell something. Always. For sure the public didn't conceive QE or bailouts and didn't try to sell it to the government.

Bitcoin would not exist if QE and bailouts were marketed by master salesmen such as Steve Jobs, Dana White, Don King or David Geffen

We as investors should operate with what is perceived by the population, not textbooks.

Perceptions move the market, and in the case of Bitcoin perception created a market. From 0 to 2 trillions in 10 years.
Judging by their comments, it almost looks like that’s the default name on the site.
True, but if they all went Democratic, it would tip the scales considerably. The margins in many regions are a tiny number of percentage points, and the Senate is 50-50 right now. A small percentage, not even a nationwide majority, have given us a heavily biased supreme court.

That's what I mean by decisive support. The Bishops could tip the scales if they were told to. This is about how the Pope could influence the situation.

I don't know how any individual Catholic votes, and both party allegiances and voting patterns are merely crude attempts at getting a statistical foothold on the question.
> But damn. Belief in a petty, spiteful God-man? How can people perpetuate such an idea? Just to scare children?

this is something i've always found hilarious. he's all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing. he created us, and now demands our love, adoration, and is jealous. is he lonely? is there nothing else to do in this universe except be concerned with how we live our lives? punish us with plagues? he gave us free will to then judge us in the end based on how restrained we were in exercising it?

it's silliness.
Walking carries much of the benefit of higher intensity exercise.

It won't build aerobic capacity much, but it burns calories and is good for heart health and so on.
> Buy three 4k screens. hook them up side by side. use all of them. forces your head and body to turn.

This works for you? I tried that and it is the closest I had to RSI; I found it extremely painful. Guess I must have done something stupid; after a week I quit as my back and neck were hurting. Standing and walking behind my computer all day works fine though.
Let me quote my Math Phys professor:

"You're utterly and completely wrong."

Let's assume we're talking about acceleration due to change of direction, or braking (since for increasing speed weight is obviously a disadvantage you simply decided to disregard)

The force required to change car's direction due to change of direction or braking is proportional to weight.

F = m*a

Therefore

(1) a = F/m

The expression for the turning torque is similar

To a first order approximation the maximum traction force available to a car is proportional to the normal force

(2) Ff = u Fg = u m g

Where Fg is force of gravity, and Ff is maximum force of traction.

So, it appears that the mass cancels out. It doesn't:

1. there's the fact that Coloum's law of friction is incorrect, especially for rubber. That's why race cars have wide tyres.

2. aerodynamic downforce is independent of weight. So my expression (2) is wrong.

Ff = u* (m*g + k*v^2)

Where k has all the information about lift.

As you can see mass no longer cancels out. As mass increases the force required to change direction increases proportionally, but the traction force available stays roughly the same.

But it gets worse. Let's say we ignore aerodynamics and assume Coloumb's law of friction (hahahahaha), largely your scenario

In comparing two cars, one double in mass than the other, the heavier car will wear out tires more quickly (since they're subject to double the loads). The heavier car will run the breaks hotter and be more prone to fading.

There is nothing good about added mass for the dynamics of a car. Nothing.*

How is it ironic? It's just one more outgroup, and people harboring this particular combination of grievances exist IRL in great numbers. The author seems well aware of how his own demographic fits into this narrative.
> So, just don't do business with those obvious fly-by-night companies who have no established reputation or brand?

You're telling people to "just" be rational. Or to not be susceptible to slick marketing gimmicks, or to not be bamboozled by a fast-talking salesman.
In my experience a key characteristic of a good software engineer is their ability to handle dense, technical texts. We do it all the time, from academic papers (less often) to documentation (every other hour). Not liking to read (?!), and thinking it's a chore, because we're only humans, will mean you won't do it unless forced and will either lack a deep understanding of a subject or reach for someone else to do it for you (RTFM).

Not a fan of the often repeated, flawed [1], "we have different modes of learning" mantra that sometimes comes with these discussions too. That myth is so hard to debunk likely because of this very issue!

There is a meme on reddit currently about how the after-church religious crowd are the worst human beings to serve as a server. So I find it quite hilarious that some people's argument is "25% catholic" with nothing else as though that is the end of the conversation.

I find this hilarious so I am sure it isn't allowed here as it I don't speak like a robot and I am not on the spectrum.
Because history repeats itself? Why is this even a question?

I don’t suggest exemption from the law but an arrangement that doesn’t break the goal and preserves some legacy for those who want to keep it and are willing to chip in.

Well, at least most of the blogs on self-hosted freedom-of-expression-respecting solutions I read over the net are written by boogeyman "alt-rights" and "4channers", unlike the so called "liberal" ilk that are bowing day and night to big media.

Adding more methane(or any GHG) doesn’t cut emissions. That’s why it doesn’t qualify

Snark aside we have already have low/no emission energy alternatives. Nuclear, wind, and solar. No need to pretend that gas is part of that group.
I'm not a fan of standing desks for myself - I inevitably find myself leaning or unfocused. Dependent on your situation, but the things that work for me:

- see a personal trainer once a week (over Zoom). Forces me to show up, don't have to be disciplined.

- Set a daily step goal. Start where you are, and try to add 500 a day per week.

I think walking is the best exercise because everyone knows how to do it, low risk of injury, and you won't burn yourself out.
I wish I could have a reading ritual but two young kids in the house (one being an infant) makes it near impossible.

Sigh, next year :)
1. Buy some bowflex adjustable dumbbells and put them next to your desk. You can almost do a complete full body workout with them in minutes, even without a bench.

2. If it’s weight loss you’re after, diet is way more impactful than exercise. Just eat way less. Try logging everything you eat, logging your weight every morning, and only eating lunch and dinner w/ no snacking (veggie snacks are ok)

3. You aren’t going to have the motivation to change habits without being well rested. Find a way to get at least 7h of sleep per night. Go thru the same routine every night, get out of bed for a while if you’re restless, and take melatonin as needed.

The most important part of all this is consistency. You can try the “systems vs goals” approach outlined here: https://jamesclear.com/goals-systems

Hope this helps!
So a Zoe is 1570kg and has a tiny engine and 50kw battery :) not sure it's comparable with something that's has 4 motors, 2000hp and a 70kw battery :) The battery alone on the evija is 680kg and probably very different just to be able to get the amp up enough to power the massive engines and spike output when needed.
I don’t think this is strictly true. We banned dumping of waste in the ocean even though it remains the “cheapest” way of disposing of toxic waste.

Governments can make it economic for companies and individuals to behave in more environmentally friendly ways, and will do so when enough political pressure arises (note that since we’re correcting for externalities, this is more economically efficient than letting pollution be “free”). To this end, coming out in favour of climate change action is useful.
If you've got something to say, be an adult and say it. Couching your meaning behind innuendo and "almost like" is lazy and childish.

Dunno about parties, but multiple eco-focused organisations are paid at least in part by oil & gas. Greenpeace actually founded a gas-providing energy utility in Germany (Greenpeace Energy, recently renamed Green Planet Energy to… avoid headlines about Greenpeace selling gas, despite those headlines being true). Other orgs got more direct funding from oil & gas players e.g. FoEI was literally founded with an oil baron's donation, and Sierra Club got millions recently from drilling & fracking company Chesapeake Energy.

Both Greenpeace and FoEI were actually founded by Sierra Club members who thought Sierra was not anti-nuclear enough. After a while, Sierra's platform changed to be more anti-nuclear (its current position).

And don't discount funding from Russia, that goes really well with both Russia's destabilisation goals and anti-coal campaigns leading to higher dependence on Russian natural gas.
> I'm curious on why you think its possible not to expose TZ.

I didn't meant that. I'm dissecting the problem into two cases here: for end users it is always possible to replace the tzid with labels (possibly tailored) so tzid doesn't have to be exposed at all, and for developers it is required to abolish textual tzids. The latter would require the cooperation and concensus from tzdb's (and contributors') part.
Considering that the US share of greenhouse gases is fairly small (15% of world total), has decreased quite a lot over time, and becomes harder on the margin, I'd say it's mostly just slinging words for political power at this point.

My own take is that you can avoid ecological devastation only through population reduction and in the short term by not up-leveling the Third World via mass immigration and industrialization.
Religion has always been and will always be a very effective way to control the masses. It is much cheaper and easier than armies and bombs.

Can you get large groups of people to do stupid stuff like don't have sex before marriage, don't swear etc, by any method? The only way, is religion. We can read religious texts and take some good things from them, but following everything a religion (any religion) says blindly is just dumb. Most the time, religious texts are interpreted for convenience and petty agenda anyway, not necessarily for truth.

It's impressive but in practice, as a guide, it's very difficult to use. There is one path to follow with no overall map or routing to skip things. So to use it to figure out one tricky section often means reading 4 extra paragraphs just to find a landmark and trace from there to where you're stuck before you can follow along.

Art teacher speaking. Hope the author is reading.

The figures directly under the sentence ‘Here is the sRGB gamut plotted for set of hues…’ have real utility which the author may have missed. They clearly show that the peak saturation value has a different lightness value for each hue. For example, a peak saturated yellow is required to be brighter than a peak saturated blue.

Explaining this to designers can be a real grind. These figures would make the task a lot easier.

I really wish for a color picker that did not normalize the color space (as in the figures that follow).
It also might be that the tweet author is exaggerating for comedic value. That’s a thing people do.

One issue that can develop over time is cervicogenic headache. This issue strains your muscles that span over your head. This origins from bad posture, typically from a screen-based job. Some exercises that help in these area, according to my physical therapist, are bending over your head as much as possible. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Then move your head back, such that you make a double chin. Also hold this for 10 seconds. The more you do these exercises, the better. They should strenghten your neck musculature. This way, you will develop a flexible neck.

Phantom island have been around for a while:

> Sandy Island (sometimes labelled in French Île de Sable, and in Spanish Isla Arenosa) is a non-existent island that was charted for over a century as being located near the French territory of New Caledonia between the Chesterfield Islands and Nereus Reef in the eastern Coral Sea.[1] The island was included on many maps and nautical charts from as early as the late 19th century. It was removed from French hydrographic charts in 1974. The island gained wide media and public attention in November 2012 when the R/V Southern Surveyor, an Australian research ship,[2] passed through the area and "undiscovered" it. The island was quickly removed from many maps and data sets, including those of the National Geographic Society and Google Maps.[3]
