Not all Catholics: the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation (kolbecenter.org) attempts to convince others that Catholics ought believe in young earth creationism. (To be precise, they advocate that the church never said one could believe in evolution, rather that evolution could be studied to try to reconcile against traditional understandings of creation, which many took as license to believe in evolution).

Even the average Catholic is required to believe that all humans are descended from a literal first man (Humani Generis, p. 37).

I would posit that someone believing in YEC is strongly correlated to their willingness to accept and embrace other unpopular and/or hard tenets of their religion. There are, for instance, plenty of Catholics who believe in evolution, but most of those do not go beyond what Catholicism requires in the way of fasting or sexuality. Thus raising the question 'what makes someone a religious person?'...

You are probably seeing the effects of chromatic aberration. Bluer colors get refracted more strongly than redder color. The thing that makes it look 3d is that this effect is more pronounced the further from the center of the lens you are looking. So in your left eye for example the yellow boxes are closer to the center of the lens than in your right eye, the chromatic aberration will shift those yellow boxes more in your right eye relative to how the blue background gets shifted, and that results in what your brain perceived as parallax which makes you think the image is 3D.

This. The cities are actually safer.

The chief difference is that the segment of the media dedicated to keeping people fearful, particularly of their neighbors, is enormous now. It was always the case that media liked stories of conflict, but this was moderated by a sense of propriety and responsibility to the community. Now, certain voices have enormous megaphones and no restraints and the paranoia and anger they are actively promoting against their own society has taken root generally.

Anyone who believes in play to earn or thinks an amalgamation of games and NFTs will happen, probably also believes these “you can use your CoD skin in Battlefield!” type claims.

It’s interesting this, that despite being enormously technical and complex topics, it’s almost as if the tendency to be optimistic about them is inversely proportional to general understanding of technology. You don’t hear anyone make a well formulated technical argument as to how all these seemingly impossible things will work. And there is no end to the people handwaving things like the tweet in the article.

> But how about the claim that the sky is a vault which separate the waters above from the waters below?

I don't think claims about vaults of water should be read as an architectural blueprint or an Ikea furniture assembly instruction booklet.

There is a three dimensional region of the atmosphere which is above sea level and below the level at which clouds (floating bodies of water) can form. It's perfectly reasonable to poetically call that region a vault that separates the waters above from the waters below.

> Or how about the claim that the sun and moon and stars was created after plants and trees were created?

That's a great point, actually, although note that the narrative starts with the creation of "light" and the day-night cycle, before the creation of the trees and plants. Therefore one interpretation of the fourth day narrative is that it describes the sky becoming clearer so that these individual bodies can be seen.

I think there is still some speculation among scientists about what the atmosphere of the early Earth was like, but it seems that it was greatly influenced by volcanism, and there was a thick haze of hydrocarbons for a large period of its history.

Rust's type system is enough to get rid of memory safety and UB, but it does that by enforcing more invariants, invariants which you also use to encode properties you care about. 70% percent of vulnerabilities are memory unsafety which is impossible in safe Rust etc etc, but a better type system, a language that doesn't disclaim commonly found code as unsupported, more productive errors, lower cognitive load… also tends to help with the rest of the bugs.
My solution was to have sleep trigger a script to set a timer that wakes the laptop up after 1 hour. The wakeup function then triggered a script that if it woke up right at 1 hour after sleep, it would then hibernate (to disk), which could stay in that state indefinitely. Note, this was some years ago, I think SystemD has something like this built in, not sure.
Similarly, as miracles go, the universe is a good one. Embellishments are unnecessary.
I spend like, a hideous amount of time thinking about this exact thing. I have been using computers to aid me in DMing since I was doing Basic/Expert on my TI-99 4/A.

Procedural content has a number of drawbacks. Just to pick one example, take the various cellular automata algorithms to generate cave systems (or really any algo). What would be great for this is if the 2D very simulationist matrix of on/off cells could be remapped to a series of nodes ("large enough caves") and edges ("passageways"). You could then try to do lock-and-key puzzles based on this.

Aside from the "sameness" issue, most of these lack two big features that people can extrapolate from playing a dungeon: history and purpose. The first, purpose, is essentially about the creature, humanoid, whatever that did the excavation -- what were they doing? Was it a xorn just kind of gobbling around? Water? Perhaps a humble owlbear looking to make a nest. Or were some dwarves tidily making a mine? Perhaps a religion was having secret meetings there. The smarter the creature, the more you have to think about purpose and intention. As an example, let's take our secret cult (literally "occult"): unless they worshiped a slime deity, they probably wouldn't place the privy next to the altar. Nor would dwarves place the privy next to the kitchen. Logical places would exist for things.

History comes from having multiple excavations over time. A river overflows its banks for a century and hollows out a spot under a cliff. Then the owlbear. Ah, but a dragon eats the owlbear. Years later a dwarf hikes by and sees a gleam of promising minerals at the back of that abandoned owlbear cave and brings friends to excavate. Later, the mine is played out and a lich moves in, adding various traps ...

Most procedural dungeons pay little to no attention to these steps, which are, after all, quite hard.

After that, you have to avoid your "monster hotel" scenario to make some kind of quasi-believable ecology to your system. In reality, most full-time cave dwellers are small and feeble and delicate, so you may want to "shallow up" your dungeons or populate the more remote areas with creatures whose nutritional needs are scant (fungi, slimes, undead, constructs). Perhaps there are holes through which a vibrant river drains and at least there are fish for Gollum to catch. Or deep magicks emanate a kind of mana to be devoured by a fungus not unlike the kind that has adapted to live on spent fuel rods here on Earth.

Then, you have to consider player satisfaction. You may want to "Jaquay" that dungeon area. Some players like exploration, some like puzzles, and some must kill every last critter no matter how small. Others want to accomplish the goal (whatever that is) and leave.

Putting all of this together gets harder and harder with procedural content.

I don't have personal knowledge of the marijuana industry, but IRS's site says they accept cash and Money Orders.

There's a $1,000 per day limit for cash, so it's not really feasible for large businesses. Instead, I think you can make Money Orders by going to Western Union or USPS, if banks are to be avoided.

> Arkady Volozh is a rare case of a (very) rich man in Russia who actually created his wealth by creating a company from scratch

Which excludes him from being a pocket oligarch... how exactly?

I don't know if Arkady is a good or bad person, but I know that he's one of the people dependent on the Putin's government to protect them.

Supporting Russian residents, that are "apolitical" has forever been a bad thing. As someone whose entire family is from Russia and most are still there - it would be weird of me to say that supporting Russia is unethical.

Condemning Yandex, however, is completely ethical... it also has nothing to do with people still working there... though now I will gladly condemn anyone still working for Yandex.

And I stand by my words - management is loyalists. Loyalists can stop being loyalists. They can be pro-Putin pre Feb 24, and I have a few of those in my own family.
The good news is that most of the maintenance can be DIYed with a few inexpensive tools. Replacing tires, inner tubes, or brake pads is not really complex. Cleaning and greasing the chain is also easy, but must be done regularly to preserve the transmission. In the same way, tire pressure should be adjusted regularly to preserve tires and avoid punctures. Transmission replacement could be a bit more complicated and requires additional tools, but it's still feasible.

What I would leave to a pro is the suspension maintenance and break fluid replacement.
Seeing the increased number of injuries (probably due to ebikes) I have to agree. Making it mandatory is going to be politically very unpopular though.

At least in Britain, you could pay the money into the landlord's account, with no fee.

Ask for the account number (as if making an electronic transfer), take the cash to their bank, and deposit it into their account.

Of course, there's the hassle of going to a bank during opening time.

The same process can be used to pay bills, and bills used to come with a special deposit slip pre-filled.
Would argue it isn't perfectly formally correct, because "average case complexity" isn't well defined. Is average here mean, median or mode? It is typically used as if it meant, 90th percentile, or all but a few degenerate cases.

But that is a bit nit picky.
Wish I could downvote this. How many people even understand how compound interest on their bank account works?

A conservative way of investing offered by mom & pop banks where I come from is through funds with capital guarantees (get the return of this portfolio, but at least 95% of what you put in). These are usually created and priced by people with math-heavy PhDs, that's how hard they are to understand. It's safe to say that >99% of investors don't understand them (especially what the exact price for the guarantee is), but they're legitimate regulated products.
True. But while avoiding vendor lock in is a worthy goal, it does have its costs - as in you are now on the hook for duplicating various functionalities that may not work as well together.

For example, let's take a simple producer/consumer system with some sort of queue. That's an easy enough problem. But add in some additional requirements:

* Data encryption - both in transit/rest
* Access control
* Audit logs

And it becomes much more complicated. It is a trade off. But the productivity gains available by having a common consistent solutions to issues like this... shouldn't be underestimated.
Honest question; What's included in those 30 cents? I'm just guessing that that's gas alone, and not including parking, insurance, repairs and depreciation.

The grid operator cited is the California Independent System Operator. How much of CA's electricity consumption is fed by that operator?

In the article they mention 23GW from wind and solar. A quick search says in 2018 CA's electrical generation capacity was 80GW (which I assume has only gone up). So this 97% is a bit misleading, no? It doesn't represent 97% of total CA electricity usage... it's less than 30%?
Depends a lot on your situation. AWS is a way to trade money for engineering time. Sure, you can run your own OpenSearch/PostgreSQL/Kubernetes cluster “cheaper” than their managed offerings.

But that’s the keyword: _managed_. If you use their (or other cloud provider’s) managed services, you can just turn it on and expect it to be there, available and running all the time (or at least to however many 9s the promise).

You don’t have to worry about configuration, management and maintenance on the whole infrastructure, software upgrades, backups, etc. They take a bunch of worries off the table.

Sure, they don’t do it for free. But if you (like many companies these days) lack manpower in the engineering department, using managed services can be a way to use the people you have more efficiently.

So yeah, approach AWS with caution, be sure you don’t set things up in ways where your costs could suddenly explode. Do the math vs. DYI infrastructure, but don’t forget that your own engineering time isn’t free.

Sure, diff3 is better than nothing. zdiff3 is even better. But there's so much scope for better diffs still. For starters we could have semantically aware diffs that take into account where blocks are (I think there are some efforts to do this).

But even diff3 is missing information. Lets say the code started as A, you changed it to B. Then you rebase and `master` is C. You'll get basically "It's C now! But you changed it from A to B."

That's not enough information. Why was it changed to C? I don't know how to update my diff without that information. Really you need to see the change that changed it to C too.

There's so much scope for an advanced conflict resolution tool. Git gets it wrong in so many situations where you could do better.
Very impressive application, a smooth intuitive UI. The progressive disclosure style works well for inputting all the settings without getting overwhelmed.

That said, my go-to for FIRE calculations/simulations is https://www.firecalc.com/index.php - and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The FIREcalc UI is very clunky compared to ProjectionLab but once you get used to it, IMO the options are a little more straightforward to understand and set. And FIREcalc is free and makes it easy to "save" your settings for future tuning/revisiting by generating a link with URL query parameters containing your setting values - I'm good with that approach.

ProjectionLab does provide more granularity for specifying investment accounts that are taxable vs tax-deferred vs tax-free, which allows it to factor in the effect of taxes in the projections. But I wonder if that's a level of complexity that's better left out of the calculations.

Effective tax rate (and yeah verily, taxes) - so damn complicated at least in the US. It will vary considerably over time even during your post-FIRE journey, depending on: your income (of course); your deductions/credits; changes in tax rates and codes; on the state(s) you live in (and how the state taxes social security, HSA earnings); etc, etc and so on and so forth.

Also many folks setup their asset allocation across all the various types of accounts to be as tax efficient as possible (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Tax-efficient_fund_placement), and AFAICT there's no way to reflect that in ProjectionLab currently.

All that's a long way of saying that I appreciate that FIREcalc doesn't try to factor in taxes. It's easier to get my head around just allocating a certain amount for taxes in the yearly spending number, maybe based on my tax history or some coarse tax estimation calculator, maybe using an expected case and worst case tax amount in the yearly spending number and then running the FIREcalc simulations and comparing - without trying to account for the effect of taxes in a more granular way, given the inherent squishiness of taxes. YMMV of course.

Anyways, nice work on ProjectionLab, I can see where it would be a valuable tool for those who are trying to get a handle on their current finances and FIRE goals and may be a little less comfortable using tools like FIREcalc or home-grown spreadsheets (I geek out on this stuff so naturally I use both!).

Why did Big Bang happen?
My favorite take on the Christian god is from Eriugena. The general premise is that time is a feature of creation, therefor god is without time. But, being without time, god is unable to change. In order to "grow" god "descended" into a lower state of being by creating the universe. The universe has time, and therefore can change. God's growth comes from the change in the universe folding back into god through the knowledge acquired by man as man ascends into a higher state of being at death.

Given that take - there is no distinction between the universe being billions of years old and the universe having been "fast forwarded" to 2000BC. This is being perceived by an entity that sits outside the passage of time. Everything is arguably "fast forwarded" in that the entirety of creation - along with everything before and after creation - is being experienced simultaneously by a timeless being.

> That's what the rich want, and since they largely control Congress, that's what they get.

Your argument isn't self-consistent. You're arguing both that:

1. the federal government is a competent force for good and should be strengthened.

2. the federal government is corrupt and controlled by the rich.

The only way this is a consistent argument is if you're a plutocrat.

Yes, of course.

It's and/and. Should also teach that driver to slow down, and be prepared to come to an emergency stop at any given time. Or have streets that naturally slow down traffic by their design, if that's too hard for the driver.

Your comment comes from a value system which I find sociopathic. I think it's much more important that the public realm is safe for all, which includes toddlers running errands alone, than that cars should be able to travel at high speed. And beyond that, when piloting 3-ton heavy machinery, one has more responsibility. It's something drivers seem unwilling to accept, rather let's blame the child on foot instead.

Also, things can get pretty complicated when it comes to pricing on AWS. I'm thinking of things like S3 where at first, it seems simple. $x per gb/mo. But then you have egress charges and then operations charges, and then minimum storage time charges, and a half dozen other things that can affect the pricing.

It's obfuscation through complexity.
