I think you're diluting their content a bit, but I largely agree. Their thesis read (to me) like they're insisting that the Bible is relevant because it framed a lot of the choices we made in the past: that much is true, and fairly relevant. But whether or not the parables of the Bible have relevance to modern society is a completely different discussion, and one that I feel like this article is (perhaps unfairly) baiting people into.

It's definitely a secular fluff-piece, but I don't think the thesis is that outrageous.

I absolutely agree, and I think even bands can feel the pressure to keep going if they think people count on it as a livelihood. Making a collective decision to move on is brave no matter the context.
Most people are referring to PRC (AKA mainland China, nominally communist) not ROC (AKA Taiwan, a republic) when they say China (at least in the west), so your statement is true but not particularly helpful in this context.
Yeah, that really stuck out to me as just awful design. Completely unparsable.
Hah. oops. I guess I was enamored by the fact that the math made it precisely 500 years ago this year.
The guy writes an article accusing everyone who disagree with him of being corrupt and you take offence to me calling him right wing? Bizarre.

Here’s the problem- you accuse me of mindlessly believing CNN (no idea what that had to do with anything, both I and the author are British) but the truth is that I’m just applying the same level of scrutiny to the author as you would have me apply to CNN.
I think, realistically, we're holding out for Gorsuch and Roberts to not be monsters, and I think we will be disappointed.

July 10, 2020:

The new coronavirus is likely spreading through the air to some degree, the top U.S. infectious disease official said on Friday, one day after the World Health Organization urged further studies on the ways the virus is transmitted.

“Still some question about aerosol but likely some degree of aerosol,” Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said by video during a panel session at a COVID-19 conference organized by the International AIDS Society.

Fauci on Thursday had said it was a “reasonable assumption” that airborne transmission was occurring even though there was not a lot of solid evidence behind it. The WHO urged more studies on the issue.

Wrong. You can be prosecuted for a drug conspiracy hatched in California where the drugs are shipped to Texas. Federally, in Texas, California or all three "separate" sovereigns.
> Projectiles are flying buckets.

Appreciate the response. I dissagree, respectfully, but I guess it really depends on how the author defines the term "bucket", which isn't explicitly provided in the article. By common definition (1) and also based on the context used in the article, a "bucket" is a type of discrete vessel (container) and is discrete from the contents (payload or 'thing') it carries. Conversely, a projectile has no container. Additionally, a projectile doesn't necessarily need a discrete size. Atmospheric moisture or electromagnetic energy are examples of things that we consume which move through space in a continuous stream, but these things are not necessarily confined to a vessel or pipe.

To more clearly differntiate the three:

Bucket System == Container + Payload + Energy imparted on the container & payload.

Pipe System == Container (i.e. pipe or guide) + Payload + Energy imparted on the payload alone.

Projectile System == Payload + Energy imparted on the Payload alone.

Clearly we rely on the atmosphere to transport water in the form of clouds, and we can rely on this mode of transport to deliver drinking/farm water even though clouds are not contained in a transport vessel, because humans have learned to leverage weather patterns. We harvest drinking water (thing) on land from the atmospheric pool of moisture originating from oceans. Similarly, we harvest radio signals (things) from antenna transmission in space (directed or distributed), but these transmissions are not contained and transported in any vessel. RF transmission (thing) along a waveguide (container) would fall under the pipe system definition. In wartime, propaganda leaflets (things) dropped from aircraft would fall under the projectile definition. Solar panels collect photons (things) projected from a light source to power electronics. All of these examples are things that are transported (naturally or synthetically) without the use of any container.

Under the definition you provided, I could say that a slug of water in a pipe system is a "discrete bundle", so it's unclear where are we trying to draw the line or what the core significance is with this definition of "bucket".

All that being said, I have no idea if this ultra-precise delineation between modes in which humans transport things is really germane to the original article. Maybe all that's needed is to differentiate between discrete and continuous transport modes. I was just stating that, for me, the ambiguity in this particular declarative statement prevented me from investing more time to finish reading what I felt began as an interesting line of thought.

It isn't an inference or extrapolation either. From today's decision, citations my own:

> For that reason, in future fases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold[1], Lawrence[2], and Obergefell[3].

The decision advocates for re-ruling on each of these cases. If these should be decided against their current status, expect states to outlaw contraception, gay relations, and same-sex marriage.

I think a very legitimate, legal purpose of the technology is for the implementation of financial systems. How many billions of dollars of computers, networks, mainframes, and engineers are dedicate to running the financial system? Distributed ledgers are basically an abstraction for implementing financial systems. Think about them as C for the financial system, where the current financial system is assembly. The doesn't mean public, decentralized blockchains are the answer the any particular problem, but blockchain technology can be useful even if they exist mostly as private chains run by financial institutions.
A totally retrograde decision, driven by charlatanism (AKA religion). The right wing republican political party needs to get voted out. Women with votes 'en bloc' can scupper this party - sadly the damage will endure for decades...
It's important to note that most Americans don't agree on letting the states enforce this because abortion is a particularly sore issue for everyone. Pro life people believe abortion is literally murder, and therefore, no state should allow it. Pro choice people believe that banning abortion is oppression, and therefore, no state should be allowed to ban it.

That kind of suggests that the states are the right place to handle the issue.
It's up to you/your lawyer to ensure it isn't used. Relying on the judge to do so isn't a great plan.
So true. Glad to see the regression has been reversed, a bit, today.
Sure!

I have a few annoyances with Bazel, but the biggest is quite fundamental. I really dislike how all rules share the same namespace for outputs. You can’t define two rules that output to the same path, and there is really little reason for this. Buck does not have this issue.
It seems like ffsend came before send.vis.ee, but the fork explicitly kept compatibility (see the readme at https://github.com/timvisee/send)
You're completely in the right to worry about your privacy. I also agree that submitting rules that the browser can enforce without revealing any data to the extension is the proper API for 99% of extensions out there.

However, uBlock Origin is such an important extension that these limits shouldn't really apply to it. I think it's so useful and important that it should be a standard feature of every single browser out there, if not entire operating systems. The problem is browser makers are deeply involved with advertising and we can't trust them to implement ad blocking features due to conflicts of interest, so we have to trust uBlock Origin for now.
Yeah, it won't be the wasm itself that makes anything possible.

What might happen is that it ushers in technically-unrelated fashions, such as standard WASI interfaces to something slightly less insane than DOM+Javascript.

Just Canvas-over-WASI isn't the answer because of accessibility, but something like it might happen.
Yes, yes, yes. This was already covered in my original comment.

> you don’t ever have to even think about those kinds of things as long as you trust the compiler and the Unsafe code that you rely on.

Forgive if I don’t give the lawyerly disclaimer in all of my follow-up comments.

Yes, you have to be able to trust the Unsafe code that you depend on.
I think it helps if you think of exercise as what it is: lying.

A longshoreman is strong because he spends all day shifting cargo around. Steve is big and buff because he tricks his body into thinking shifting cargo around all day is a likely scenario.

Muscle is expensive. The body is very stingy with keeping muscle you don't need on a regular basis. A gym visit is trying to simulate the behavior of all-day exertion without having to abandon all of the other activities you want to fill your day with.
Is there any way to get alerts on your phone of these events before they happen? It always seem like by the time they make the press and get disseminated on sites like HN it is too late. Was very frustrated by the solar eclipse a while back because by the time the mainstream press picked up on it, glasses were sold out everywhere. There is too much going on to have to manually research and systematically keep track of every topic of interest. Isn't that the point of the News, and sites like Reddit/HN?
Hmm... for all 10 digit US numbers the telcos introduce 10 DLC registrations last year that require you to register and verify your business in order to send any meaningful amount of SMS traffic. You have to provide details like a DUNs number, an EIN, and addresses that match those registrations. https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/150000242224...

They haven't gotten to blocking messages that don't register but have raised the fees and fines for folks who don't register and they're able to track down.
Reading the various discussions on HN, it is obvious that HN skews male.

The vast majority of threads are either regarding the interpretation of legal frameworks and their implications, or asserting a-priori values on start of life and following the rational implications thereof.

No-where do I see any discussions, or even caring about, how this affects women directly: the ability to govern their own bodies, their reproductive (and civil) rights. Or just the fact that they are de-jure 2nd-class citizens.
See, you're saying this, but with effective gerrymandering and friends, a collection of low-population states have successfully broken the democratic process by having a majority of power while being in the minority.
The small states had obvious reasons to support the great compromise, but that's not the question. The question is why did Virginia agree to it, when they were more populous than half the other states combined, and therefore would have naturally wanted proportional representation, as indeed was the original Madison plan. And the reason is: slavery. It's completely central to the entire constitution, from the senate to the 3/5th "compromise" to the electoral college.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Yes I noticed some rounding issues, I’ll fix that ASAP :)
Horribly written. Seems like the crux here is twofold:

1. Strategies should be directionally correct to help guide an organization to a common goal, but not be overly prescribed in order to adapt and remain flexible in the face of an unknowable future.

2. People like confidence, so if you say, "We'll figure it out as we go along", it sounds like you don't know what you're doing, and no one will follow you.

The natural result if these two forces are strategies sound good (i.e., "certainty") by lack real strategic meat (i.e., "clarity/coherence")—either by being overly vague or too tactical. So the crux, as a strategic leader, is to figure out how to drive confidence in a strategy while "also acknowledging uncertainty".
Thanks for a sensible counterargument!
What is it about C++ as a community where most average devs claim an inhuman level of proficiency but only the coders with experience in real critical codebases have the humility to claim that without extremely strict coding practices and extensive use of fuzzers we're barely smarter than apes at churning out safe code?
> You define "child" based on a religious definition. That's /your/ religion, not mine. Feel free to follow it all you want, you don't need to involve the rest of us. We're not talking about children, we're talking about fetuses.

Fetuses are unborn children. I realize this definition is rather inconvenient to your fragile narrative, but it is THE definition, not just my definition. Please refer to the dictionary, #4: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/child

> a human fetus

Or the Merriam webster dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/child

> 3a : an unborn or recently born person

or the oxford dictionary: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/eng...

> a young human who is not yet an adult

Please, keep talking. I am enjoying this. Next you'll argue categorical definitions and facts are a religion.
Roles of a CTO
That's a really good point but unfortunately its just a surface level argument. Same states that demonize abortions also cut health services for children and mothers. All states that had a trigger law to ban abortions also do not have paid family leave.

So they only kinda sorta care about the child in the womb but not about the mother or the child when they are born.

If folks are going to ban abortions they should at least expand child and mother care, in my opinion.

On the other hand, pre-Roe, the maximum tax rate was 70%, with 25 different tax brackets. I'm guessing that folks that support today's decision are probably okay with the tax increases and big government that will follow.

Put another way, the case several days ago that allows child school credit to be used for Catholic school ALSO allows the same credit to be used for the Church of Satan School of the Gifted. The unintended consequences of all the rulings during the past week are going to be an interesting things to observe.
Yep , didnt even answer, I had similar interviews solving company problems but that one takes the lead, I still keep the email, hope someone from their team will read so they can re-calibrate their view
No, all sides are not to blame. The USA is a Constitutional Republic so your comment regarding the popular vote is irrelevant. The popular vote is not used to elect a president in the USA and never will be. Additionally, the seditious person you're advocating for is the source of the Russia collusion rumors that the left steam media ran with for 3 years.
A lot of what I saw were channels pushing both at the same time. An accidental leak of an attempted bioweapon or something like that was pretty popular in some circles.
It's amazing that ppl still consider China a "bad actor" when they fairly promptly (a little delay but still months of lead time) warned the world and completely stopped the virus within their borders to this very day. The bad actors are the western governments with millions of dead on their hands trying to point the finger anywhere else.
That's interesting, although my ISP seemed to know I was calling from a VoIP number (my "land line", as it were). She even knew my secondary number was a VoIP number.

I think in the end she put one of the numbers down in the application after a little pursuasion.
Give me a break. In my original comment:

> you don’t ever have to even think about those kinds of things as long as you trust the compiler and the Unsafe code that you rely on.

Your comment is not some kind of gotcha. I can’t be bothered to give the long-form disclaimer in all of my follow-up comments. Read the context.

After this you are fully entitled to live/work/receive healthcare anywhere in Europe with no strings attached to an employer.

Controversial I know but the option is there.
I don't want any art in my phone. My wallpaper and lock screen are both black for legiblility.

I use my phone exclusively as a tool (a tool for communication, for social media, for learning, etc). It's aesthetically and functionally designed very well and that's all the art I need from it.

Is your first/native language SVO (subject-verb-object)? Mine isn't, it's VSO (verb-subject-object) or SOV (subject-object-verb), and for me the first example isn't more readable so I wonder if that also changes our perspective on what option we see as the most natural.

I can admit though that from an IDE point of view having auto-completion upon writing thing and typing the dot and seeing the results is very useful, whereas there is nothing (as far as I know) that comes even close in functional languages where the second example is more typical.
The only point I have is that I’m incredibly happy to exist.
Late response, but the porn industry served as an initial launching pad for a number of groundbreaking technological advancements. Examples include super 8 film, vhs, online payments, closed captioning, and various smaller achievements related to video streaming, for example the ability to see a still by hovering over the timeline on a video.
Seems like the root cause of this is that boundary lines of states are drawn wrong, and now encompass a diverse group of people who fundamentally can't agree on what their "society" is or what it should look like.

Time to abolish the states, perhaps, and move to a loose confederation of city-states + regional rump-states that encompass former rural areas, bound together by a Common Economic Protocol. Let the blue areas in Austin, downtown Houston, Miami, Pittsburgh & Philadelphia, etc. be blue, and the red areas surrounding them be red. Conversely, let the red areas in Jefferson (northern California + southern Oregon), eastern Washington, upstate NY, etc. be red, and the dominant metro areas in those states be blue.
Thomas really is a conservative extremist and I agree that his concurrence is very concerning. But no one else joined his opinion and the majority explicitly stated that all those cases shouldn't be affected(because of how abortion affects "two lives").

This is a trend here in Brazil. And do they send you to a lightweight, mobile-optimized web page? No way in hell, you can be pretty damn sure they will send you to a 20MB PDF that was designed for printing.

It's mind boggling how insane this is.
No, that’s an artifact of me typing on my phone.

Remind me which side calls for violent overthrow of existing institutions as a foundational belief? Hint: it's not the Christian right.

And if you say something like, "these people don't represent
us," You can probably guess I'll respond: the small number of men who rioted at the capitol without any actual realistic plan to perform a coup don't represent us either.

Leftist activists, unfortunately, are much smarter about what it takes to really overthrow a government, and they've been in it for the long haul for almost a century now.
Nor does the law treat fetus as equal to post-birth babies in other areas - You can't claim a fetus as a dependent on taxes. Now does one have to pay child support for a fetus. So what gives, christians?
Ask HN: Why do devs feel CoPilot has stolen code but DALL-E is praised for art?
Both DALL-E from OpenAI and Github CoPilot work on the same philosophy. While one receives a massive praise online the other is being criticised that it's working with copied code and just pastes copied code.

Why is this difference in opinion?

Seems pretty heavily modified from the source, but even the source isn't super relevant because it is trying to use though experiments to determine the morality of the act, however Roe and this subsequent decision (tenuously) are based on legal justification.
