Don’t most other Christians (Trinitarians) believe Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, just also the (only) God, period?

(Also HN seems to have a fairly high tolerance for pedantry, so I hope nobody gets angry if I interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Mormon, is in fact, Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the Restored Church. Mormon is not a religion unto himself, but rather another prophet of a fully restored Christian church made complete with the other apostles and prophets of the past and divinely inspired direction as continuously revealed by prophet Russel M. Nelson.

Many people have heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints today, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the nickname for members of Church which is widely used today is “Mormons,” and many of its users are unaware that they prefer to called members of the Church, of Jesus Christ.

There really is a Mormon, and members of the restored church believe his teachings, but they are just a part of the gospel doctrine they believe. Mormon compiled the Book of Mormon; another testament of Christ that complements, confirms, and clarifies the Old and New Testament. The Book of Mormon is the cornerstone of the religion, but arguably useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete religion. The Book of Mormon is normally studied in combination with the rest of the restored gospel, the whole system is basically Christ’s church with the fullness of the gospel revealed. All the so-called “Mormons” are really members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)
Not Whatsapp themselves, the proxying bot. And I'm not talking about tampering the transaction but the mempool (or at least the view you have about it) to make you believe they've forwarded the transaction.

But as I said, this is not what matters: the doxxing part is the deadly threat.
And?

They still do not make sense, and I do not care who was POTUS.
It's a simple top-up card, not connected to a bank account. I wrote "online bank" to simplify. What they offer is an online dashboard, a screenshot of which Amazon refused.

In any case, I didn't ask them to take me on my word, but to contact me and see if a different set of documents might be used instead.
Pretty much. Most exchanges will automatically sell your position at market price if you reach a certain percentage of margin. That how you get the massive dips that get bought very quickly. You have tens of thousands of Bitcoin being sold at market price.

It causes a domino effect across the whole crypto market because people are using leverage to buy any coin even shitcoins like Doge and Shib.
> People literally managed books full of CDs or jewel cases, DVD racks, cassette tapes, LP collections, people had an entire rack in their house dedicated to hardware designed explicitly to use these cumbersome things, people torrented and used gnutella and managed software CDs, movie CDs, photo albums, VHS collections and the like just fine for ages.

Sounds like you’re trying to generalize from a very small set of people. The percentage of the population that had specialized full sized racks for their torrented stuff and what not was very, very small. For the rest of it, I imagine that “large drawer next to the desk” was the #1 solution, followed up by “in the car somewhere” for music CDs.

For the average person, the actual backup procedure from that era was very poor. Frankly, I doubt many did it at all. Even the nerds I knew mostly did a pretty half assed job, all considered. What professional backup software hosted in the cloud today blows even the most thorough technique from any consumer in the 1990s out of the water.
>> 28 year old Yuvi seems more mature than 15 year old Yuvi

How sad would it be if you didn't feel this way? The world is a big, complex, subtle, friendly, violent engine. There's no way for a 15 year old to see it all, understand it, experience it and so on.

15 year olds are focused on self, discovering things they like, things the don't. Things have to be categorised into a small number of boxes - good and bad, big and small and so one.

As we grown we get more boxes, and the boxes have lots of missing edges. A 15 year old sees Microsoft as evil, but MS fueled the computer society we have today. They certainly did not invent the Internet, but they made is available to the masses - mostly through good marketing. There were other options etc.

Open Source software, Free software, proprietary software, source code with commercial licenses - all are good, all bring benefits, and harms. The world is grey, and as we grow and mature we understand better how those parts work together.

So good for you - we are defined by who we are, not by what code we write. We can enjoy something, add to the collective good, without the need to moral panic about it being used for bad. Chainsaws are good and useful tools, and the world would be worse off without them - despite the odd serial killer using one...

What if you set up a Mac with an Apple account, Apple permabans you for something, then you forget your password and want to wipe and restore your Mac?
Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere were as high as 4,000 parts per million (ppm, on a molar basis) during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago to as low as 180 ppm during the Quaternary glaciation of the last two million years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth's_atmo...

We are now at 413. Life thrived even at 4000 ppm so there is no need to remove it.

Plants need at least 150 ppm to survive. So, you want us to reduce CO2 and brings us closer to that dangerous level? If plants die, we will too. You know that, right?

Thanks. That makes sense.
I want to try, I've been doing AoC in Python, but that's only so I can improve my problem solving skills. I want to do it in Elixir, among other languages but I have never written or read a line of elixir in my life. How did you begin? Did you start learning elixir side by side AoC or did you go through a tutorial or book _before_ December?
It's nice that something like this happened without big studios being implied.

Maybe this will inspired others to crowdfund interesting TV series and films. Productions of big studios and TV networks began to be boring and too politically involved to the point that historic truth was satisfied in order to match trendy political movements.
The issue isn't automated fraud detection systems. The issue is the lack of humans who can override them when they're wrong.
I'm not familiar with these top-up cards. Do you get no itemized list of purchases? Can you send that in lieu of a statement?
It’s exactly the opposite of what you are saying.
There is pressure for the virus to NOT become more lethal in less time.

That's cool, but we do that already via constitutions for various legal entities they typically can express purpose, how voting rights are acquired and structured, governance structure, how constitutional changes are enacted etc.

In fact, there's even been organisations codify sociocracy (holocracy's older sibling with longer hair and more wild stories) into their constitutions. Constitutions for companies / charities / incorporated societies etc. work well.

Admittedly, I can see an advantage that if it's all in code, there's not really any room for debate - the quorum was met, so the smart contract initiated an extraodinary vote, and here's an immutable record of how quorum was met.

I can see it not being so helpful in situations where interpretation is required - e.g., your organisation wants to help minorities, that's awesome. What constitutes a minority? If you're looking for global reach, that will really differ from country to country, and how do you build that fuzzier logic into code? Rohingya are an oppressed minority in Myanmar, in Bangladesh, they're kinda part of the majority if you squint, but the forcibly displaced are still treated as an "other" by the Bangladeshi government. Likewise, Cambodians of Vietnamese descent can often be discriminated against, but then also often do well for themselves.

But I also suspect that if DAOs / smart contracts etc. go mainstream, it won't be long until the first court cases over their implementation/intepretation of the constitutions follow.
What happens to guys who get their accounts disabled for no reason and they don't know anyone from the executive floor? "Sucks to be them"?
Yes this.

All this case (and similar others with other companies) demonstrates is that we're lacking in laws and regulation here.

There should be no way that it is legal to just lock a customer like that without paying them all the money invested in virtual "goods". Sure, you want to block me then return all the money I paid for music, apps, etc.

There should be channels in every company where they will precisely tell you what happened and why. If they want to just stop dealing with you - they must pay back.

There's nothing wrong with using a service, what is wrong is that our laws are not up to the task of dealing with those risks.
I would filter emails by domain before they hit the exec's inbox.
Is having the -x necessary in filenames, or could you add a subdirectory and use the same original file name for a bundled file?
> You can't 'selfhost' this stuff.

you can,

- kdeconnect can do clipboard & messages sync

- nextcloud (or anything else that does webdav & webcard) does calendar & contact sync

- Firefox (and chrome probably too) can sync browser history and share webpages feom one device to another

i'm not aware of anything that can remotely unlock another device, but that seems like a security risk to me (also quite hard to implement as pam is synchronous :/).

but you certainly don't need a closed ecosystem, building your own out of free components is very much possible.
I'd almost used guacamole at my previous company, GKN Driveline. My boss wanted to setup soemthing to let people xvnc into servers effortlessly. We were dealing with mechanical engineers who weren't great with Linux tools. I never stayed long enough to implement it and my replacement had his hands full with other projects, but I really was excited about Guacamole and want to try it out some day. It seems like a great project, and might not get the same appreciation in tech spaces as it would in non-software companies which deal with something like Beowulf clusters or their like.
> How is this useful for society? It's only useful for consulting companies, so they could sell their labour as a product at extreme markups

Right, that's one way to see it.

Another way I see it is they get to learn some practical skills that let them build / create / craft things with their own hands with the limited resources they have. Could be used for earning money, if not, simply for creating stuff for people to see and experience (some people call it "art").

Another part of it is it opens doors for them, different avenues like being exposed to talking to other developers, to clients, being a problem solver, being a negotiator, learning transferable skills that they can take from one industry to another.

There's no certainty of course, all of these is a gamble on which of these could be fruitful in the next 3 / 5 / 10 years, and it might not even the kind of gamble that makes you tick and makes you feel alive, in which case you're free to explore other options out there.

> The amount of people benefiting from my work

Yea but that's vague as hell, any kid could say that.

> Antidepressants

Rest easy my brother, maybe it's all downhill from this point onwards. Maybe the stars have aligned in you just being a statistic of people who died because they can't sort themselves out because life has gotten too comfy.

Kidding of course, the go-to HN advice of course is get a goddamn therapist, preferably someone that really moves you forward, and at the same time really take some action on your end because as newton or einstein said: objects at rest stay in rest, objects at motion goes through the motions ahaha
Amazon should totally be blamed. Their reinstatement process has taken a complete nosedive recently, with their review of documentation consistently inconsistent and devoid of any quality control.

I've sent them the exact documentation they requested (actually well over and above what was required) - all of it rexboxed and annotated, and each time they send it back saying the documentation is illegible or lacking in the details they require.
PART 1:

_"Im not achieving anything, no matter how hard i try"_
_"I’m regretting that i didn’t use the time to achieve something meaningful"_
_"All i dream of to make a contribution and somehow make an impact"_

Could it be that your sense of achievement is attached to an outcome/impact (not the process), and the sense of meaning is closely attached to the success of that outcome?

_"I have money, but i’m miserable and unhappy"_
_"I feel ashamed of being that guy who is always depressed, angry and sad"_
_"I’m thinking my (dead) grandparents would be embarrassed of me being such a looser"_
_"I’m trying all my best to be a good person, yet i’m still not good enough for myself"_
_"Yet, i feel like i’m a useless parasite"_

Agree with some other the other responses here that self-perception is the major factor. Note that these are things you are saying to yourself. It's YOUR thinking about what your (dead) grandparents might think of you. The fix also lies in how you think of yourself, far more than what anyone else thinks of you. The more you think along these lines, the more you are saying this to yourself - and this forms a self-enforcing loop where you begin to believe this is reality. When you think in this manner, you'll find it hard to believe even if someone close to you told you otherwise (that you were helpful); you'll might trust them, or you may feel it was insignificant by your standards.

_"I have money,..i’m not hungry, have a warm place to stay and guaranteed inheritance"_

It's good that you recognise that you have means for a healthy living. Many aren't as lucky. While you think it is not that bad, are you able to fully reconcile how good it really is? Money and happiness don't have a guaranteed co-relation, but, it does give you the financial freedom to think about other things beyond just survival. You need to recognise that it is a strength you can leverage. Self-perception continues to play a role here too. Would you have felt differently about yourself if you were 5x richer?

_"I feel ashamed of being that guy who is always depressed, angry and sad"_
_"Yet i struggle to find anyone who needs my help"_

You can start by helping yourself first. Do this to get to a better state of mind, to be in a position to help others later. Helping yourself get out of the state-of-mind you are in will have the highest impact realisation. This could also give you the self-confidence and determination you need in helping others. You'll also be in a much better position when helping others get out of their depressed, angry or sad state.
It’s not tech people that need to respect their craft, it’s companies that need to respect their customers. Most tech people know this is a shitty practice, many pixels have been spent here about the capriciousness of FAANG companies towards consumers, it’s just that most of us lack the organizational power to do shit about it.
There are hundreds of scientific studies about the efficacy of therapy in treating depression. It’s no magic bullet it works well for very many people.

Stigmatizing therapy is not only counter productive, it can be downright dangerous.

If you’re genuinely trying to help, please reconsider your approach.
Pills, especially ritalin have the side effect of being really hard to get off once your mind is ready to produce joy again. This might be a hard pill to swallow, but what you need is healthy habits.
Given what I know about the JPL's engineering process, they probably have a binder full of a few hundred pages of documentation archived somewhere.
One point he says is that if a citizen doesn't like the authoritarian government they can move easily because Singapore is small.

1.Moving to another location could make you leave friends and family

2.There is a cost associated with moving to another country i.e moving company, new home

3. You may not be able to keep your job

Leaving Mexico(mentioned in the article) might be more difficult but the extra cost of airfare is the least of the issues.

I don't think the counter to arguments about a authoritarian government should be "you can leave" (paraphrasing)
Still an apple user after that? You deserve each other.
The new worldgen is incredible, both above and below the surface. Hats off to everyone at Mojang that worked on this!

One of my favorite game memories of all time was the first time I played Minecraft during the alpha days and immediately got lost in the world. For me, going into a 1.18 world and finding a giant mountain chain and then finding a cave on the peak of the mountain that falls all the way into a giant underground ocean at the bottom of the world in a huge cavern complete with underground vegetation… it brought me right back to that sense of exploration and wonder that I remember from the very first time I played Minecraft.

Also, I found this datapack (sort of like a mod but doesn’t require patching the game since the game natively supports loading datapack files) called Terralith [1] that extends the 1.18 worldgen with even more cool stuff. Wandering around the new 1.18-style mountains is incredible, and then stumbling across something the resembles Yellowstone National Park added by Terralith is even more incredible. It’s worth a try if you like just wandering around in Minecraft marveling at the scenery.

This is a good idea. I'll offer you look into local parks and nature preserves, and if you have them where you live, forested areas. Look into "Forest Bathing" and "Shinrin-yoku". There's really something to this.

How the hell can it be legal for the card provider not to produce any kind of transaction log?
Last year I was banned from Google Pay without any reason given. Since then I've been trying to move everything to alternatives. For example, changing accounts from using my Gmail to use an email on a domain I own. If I'm ever banned from my new email provider, I can continue to receive email after updating a few DNS records.

The problem is that I wish this wasn't necessary. I really like Google Photos and I haven't found an alternative (free or otherwise) that I like. And I'm also sympathetic to people who don't want to do this, even if they have the technical ability to. It wasn't hard for me to set up NextCloud on a VPS, but it took more than a weekend to get backup scripts working, run the security audit, set up New Relic monitoring, etc.

I think about in the past about how a town might have a local blacksmith or a local doctor that everyone in the community trusts. I wouldn't mind being the ops guy for a local co-op for friends and family and neighbors. But I think in this day and age it doesn't work well since people don't care enough about the problem. I told my wife to stop putting files in our shared Google Drive and to install the Nextcloud app and she said sure, but I don't think most people would care.
This seems like a policy, rather than engineering, decision.
Right. Most attempts to select winners end up filtering out the high-risk candidates that also represent the highest potential impact should they succeed (which also makes applicants fudge their proposals to seem lower risk high reward). So, you need to consciously allow the selection of some candidates randomly from a pool that only filters out the obviously deranged or fraudulent (in other words, quality of proposal counts, perceived odds of success does not).

There are a number of research funding agencies that are starting to use just this sort of grant funding lottery, the OP seems to be groping toward something similar.

Download a monthly statement, itl be a pdf with your address on it.
Going way deep down the rabbit hole is possible with HA, and custom stuff on ESP32 or ESP8266 chips with your own sensors, relays etc is possible with ESPHome.

It’s good fun and very inexpensive.
My understanding is that this has been one of the primary concerns of InfoSec.
Like IBM even ran tv ads about the dangers of payroll leaks.
Nothing ruins a business faster than everyone finding out that so and so down the hall gets paid more than you do - and to think they slack off even more than you!!! How the heck is that fair???

From there if you cant get a raise you'll probably feel frustrated and taken advantage of- and want to take advantage of things in reverse, trying to do less for the same pay. Enter a race to the bottom between you and coworkers as bosses begin scrambling to decide who to let go.

If you ask me the issue lies in the human inability to hold contradictions to the self and continue to act. The old payroll model requires that workers be grateful to have their labor taken advantage of. So we can move to coops where we are all paid the same, but then the question arises: why do traditional organizations beat cooperatives?

In my experience coops tend to fizzle when everyone gets paid the same but a few key folks "make things happen".
These people eventually feel resentment or burnout and leave for something that rewards their initiative.
The coopers get left without the do-ers, and "told you so's" don't pay the orgs bills.

If you think you can engineer a way for humans to know what each-other are earning, don't become demotivated, and don't succumb to burnout or resentment amongst those with initiative then you have something innovative.

As for why its all hushed? Same reason other taboos in society exist: theres some sort of deeply psychologically rooted issue in play that has no happy answer, so we plaster over it in an effort to "be polite". When the foundations legitimately shift is when taboos can be reexamined, and when foundations have not actually shifted breaking taboos will rub others the wrong way.

Maybe colorado is up your alley?

From the article:

I am opposed to many of these features of Singaporean society. I am unconvinced that these human rights violations were ever important building blocks for Singapore's social cohesion, and it at least seems clear that the city-state has now reached a level of stability where the government can safely loosen its iron grip on social life.

This is a common refrain from foreigners cursorily involved in Singapore (whether a passing tourist or expat living there). Lee Kuan Yew had the following retort (starting at 50 minute mark):

https://youtu.be/3ofjSBGmOcY?t=2999

The whole speech is worth watching, and also the other speeches available on either Youtube or the archives: https://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/NationalDayRally/
>Few expected Singapore to survive when it became an independent country in 1965. It was a tiny, impoverished island with a diverse population of recent immigrants.

This is the official PAP line, but Singapore was actually among the wealthiest cities in Asia before WW2. Admittedly there was a gaping chasm between rich and poor, but that remains the case today.
