> I doubt that English is a good basis for a universal anything, due to the extreme inconsistency of spelling and pronunciation. There are some other disadvantages, as there are in any language, but having to learn how a word is spelled and pronounced entirely independently of each other, with no correlation, is a big drain on time.
I imagine something like Esperanto would be much more suitable for the role.

Isn't that the same for many things [how something is vs learning something about it that isn't how it is]? Roman numerals still catch me out; I cannot work out some programming code; a highlighted corner in a spreadsheet hides a comment; I can speak German phonetically (easy pronunciation rules - wysiwys) without understanding a word understanding a word.
> If you become poor, or sick, or die in the process? This group couldn't care less.

I was going to disagree with this, but then I was opening with a disclaimer along the lines of "other than the ones green washing the oil industry, and the ones who were encouraging people to smoke long after it was known to be dangerous, and the ones working for gambling companies, and the ones selling alcohol to alcoholics".

I used to work for a big ad agency, and while I'm not aware of any projects we took on which were actively harmful to quite that degree there was definitely a general culture of not really caring about whether or not what we did was worthwhile. Several projects I worked could only be described as redistribution of money from one company to another, because we all knew they'd have no real benefit to anyone - the people being advertised at didn't want the ads, and the company being advertised for wasn't going to get any sales from them. I was explicitly told on a few occasions not to add detailed analytics because then the client would have hard numbers on how useless the campaign was.
Probably a one size fits all approach. Small religious organisations have small-scale budgets and are overseen by their members in some form or another.

But then there's megachurches which are basically hedge funds.

That bit btw doesn't bother me either, so much as lack of transparency regarding political donations etc. Not American either so meh.
> Advertising in the UK is much more heavily regulated than in other countries.

Funny. Ads seems to absolutely everywhere in the UK. It feels very overwhelming. Reminds me of those famous crossings in New York and Tokio.
I can't speak for other cities but I live in a relatively immigrant-heavy area in a relatively immigrant-heavy city (Bos en Lommer, Amsterdam) and our parks are paradises. There's a nice kid pool and everything.

I think it's just an issue of community. Like, evidently our community likes having nice stuff our kids can use.
There are not enough right-wing nutjobs. It is strategy of insulting thinking humans.
Which matrix console client? I only know gomuks and I really miss proper image support there.
In the US land votes. I looked it up once how many large cities have a Republican mayor.

If the US ever abolishes the electoral college you'll see Democrats campaigning in rural Texas and Republicans in Silicon valley California because EVERY SINGLE VOTE COUNTS.
It would get both parties out of their comfort zone.

It is not related to the church tax. It comes on top.

While I typically do not respond to downvotes, this is one time I should, because downvoting someone for expressing reality, shooting the messenger, is not reasonable.

This is not a case of "omg that guy supports the church!". This is a case of nation's founding documents, thousands of years of case law, court case after court case.

Even if every single (for example) American supported a change in the legal staus of churches/religions, it would take decades, for all state govenments, federal government, and hundreds of new pieces of legislation to be passed, to even get close to changing this status.

And that's with everyone on board.

And the same is true of the entire west.
As you surely know given your profile, testosterone is a hormone with many critical functions unrelated to aggression. Lack of sufficient testosterone causes osteoperosis, cognitive problems, fatigue, anemia, memory problems, hot flashes, and many other symptoms in men. It's essential for men's overall health and cannot be clearly disentangled from this role.

We do regulate the use of injected testosterone due to risks such as "roid rage" and enlarged heart among others. In the US testosterone is considered a Schedule III federally-controlled substance, i.e. a drug with medical uses that also has potential for abuse:

If a genetic mutation were known to code for impulsive violence, reduced IQ and little else, the story would be different. We wouldn't keep it around. MAOA-2R is such a gene. I know of no benefits to carrying this mutation versus its 3R or 4R variants. It causes a milder form of a disease called Brunner Syndrome, which confers a reduced IQ as well as increased violent aggression and reduced impulse control:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunner_syndrome

MAOA-2R lies in the same category as cancer-causing variants of BRCA1 or the allele for sickle-cell anemia in Western populations. We should treat it as such. There may also be non-genetic treatments for MAOA deficiency in the future. These should be explored and offered to those who might benefit. In the meantime we must accept reality. This gene, its effects, and its relative prevalence among racial groups (or "ancestral genetic populations" if you prefer) must factor into relevant public policy.

Given your comments thus far, I suspect that instead of engaging on the topic at hand you'll try to draw me further into some debate on whether men, seeing as they're so violent, should even be allowed to exist. Suffice it for me to say that the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis makes sense for humanity, and before "gender theory" reared its head we did a fine job keeping men in social spaces and structures where their more-aggressive tendencies were managed and expected.
There are lots of good product reasons why you don't want to do this, but there's also a good chance that they're just not allowed to.

Airpods are Bluetooth. Their is a load of IP behind Bluetooth, and they will happily licence that IP for free to qualified Bluetooth devices. So you can't just pick and choose which bits of Bluetooth you like, you have to implement enough of it to meet the standards (you can do stuff on top though if you want).

It is possible that a device that refuses to pair/connect under some circumstances to a certified Bluetooth device (e.g. my Android phone, or an iPhone) would fail to meet the specification. There may be a spec lawyer way around it, or there might not be. If there isn't then they just can't do that.
They stopped the investigational side a long time ago, it's safe to assume the people involved already moved along and took their culture elsewhere.

I'm sure tabloids and yellow rags are always looking for cheap writers, plenty of them still exist.

> I think alignment is poorly defined.

That's the root of the problem.

The idea is simple. We will create a god. In the process, we will become to it what ants, or bacteria, are to us. We will be powerless to stop it, so we need to make sure it never does anything to directly or indirectly hurt us. We want it to answer our prayers, and we want those prayers to not backfire and explode in our faces. We want it to never decide to bulldoze Earth one day because it has a temporary interest in paperclips and needs the raw ore to make some.

The details of how to achieve this outcome, and even the details of this outcome, are less and less clear the more you dig into them.
> And yet they're refuse to allow solar users to push back to the grid easily.

Grid solar (and even more wind) is harder to handle than a plant that can be modulated. If they can't handle their plants or invest to fix their issues, I can understand that they don't have the means to handle solar.

"Content unavailable"

Everybody else seems to be able to access this. Has it disappeared since this link was posted, or is it somehow region blocked?
Of course "mom blogs" has no ethics.

But when you bait/pay/bribe people to do bad things, it's surprising how many "good people" turn bad. The real perpetrator is of course the one who pays people to do bad things.
I do. Was it all good? Certainly not. But they tried to get some money into actual journalism instead of just doing a presentation layer filled with copy paste.

That's a tough problem in this day and age of reader-paid news simply not happening. That's not happening not only because we are so greedy, it's also not happening because we certainly don't want to get back to only reading that one paper we happen to be subscribers of, as it used to be before the web.

We desperately need a "spotify for news", preferably with a two tier setup that allows a "play" of something investigative to have more weight than simple news agency copypasta. And preferably not with a central giant gatekeeper squeezing content suppliers as hard as possible but as a bottom-up coop, with reverse syndication (subscribers of A get elevated guest access at B and subscribers at B get guest at A) that redistributes a percentage of subscription revenue according to the spotify model (play/read counts). But as long as that doesn't exist, Vice was the closest thing we had to get post-print journalism funded.
Who's out there saying "cut fat and replace it with sugar"?

10k for one month. Then nobody will want to read you blog anymore.
>Sorry, what? They put him under house arrest for having an astronomy theory they disagreed with. That's absolutely crazy.

That's the unfortunately prevalent "TikTok"-level version of the history.

Has little to do with the actual reason, tons of people, including scientific-inclined people of the church had public alternative astronomy theories of their own or discussed existing ones.
No. Minorities do not deserve carte blanche control of the output of mass communication. That's the most basic enabler of authoritarian dictatorship. Under democratic capitalism, power must cater to the majority, or lose it/go broke.

It's not a perfect system, and remains susceptible to corruption from extremism, but it's historically superior to anything else that's been tried. Presumably this is a reality you've since enjoyed.

Key - for minorities as much as anyone else - is ensuring principles of free speech are upheld. The "woke" crowd have generally promoted censorship ("cancelling"), and therefore are incompatible with protecting their own rights.

As we're seeing here, with exactly this.
Can’t agree more with this. I think the same. And I’ve tried almost everything under the sun.

Second Sourcing Is Essential
I am a perhaps extreme example of what is described in the article. I grew up in Southern California, but I have lived in Tokyo and neighboring Yokohama since 1983.

I can’t remember the last time I rode in a privately owned car in the Tokyo area. Fifteen years ago? Twenty years ago? I’m not sure. I think the last time I rode in a private car anywhere in Japan was in 2017, when I went to Hiroshima for work and my host picked me up at the station in his car.

I do take taxis occasionally, but mostly I walk or take trains. My three-year-old grandson, who lives with me, has yet to ride in any privately owned car. He has probably never even seen a child’s carseat.
> Government overreach is... repealing regulations

Indeed.

> So we don't have a direct democracy for most things

Yes

> The solution is not law

I think no, in this case. Just as I don't want to have to buy a washing machine that only works with my water company, I don't want to have to buy the right internet to go to the sites I want to go to. Internet delivery, like water delivery, should be provided and priced independently of what it is used to do.
We’re on a site where people suggest homemade alternative to dropbox…
Yes, but I've had to learn both languages as an adult, and English was much harder.
Depending how locked down your work AD is; andOTP can scan and generate 6-digit codes which Microsoft support.
This is "just" the usual, paying influencers to push products. The product is legal, advertising via influencers is legal. Except this time it's not teenagers and hand creams but new mothers and gambling.

The gambling companies are likely in the clear. They are allowed to advertise to everyone one (maybe over 18 which mum blogs mostly cover).

So I guess it's bad but I'm not sure which part of the chain is the weakest link. Is advertising gambling the bad thing? Maybe. Or advertising via influencers? This should certainly be more regulated.

I struggle to be outraged by people doing legal things, I'd rather think about what is wrong with the law itself.
Agreed. Though it’s not localized to cable. Most non-local news is designed to incite fear/anger in you and push you to their thinking, not inform you of what’s going on in the world. In fact most news orgs don’t even work for their own news, they buy it wholesale from news aggregators like Reuters, AP, etc and put their own spin on it.

In my case, I found no benefit to any national/international news orgs and focus solely on local news on the county/state levels.
Annoying notifications are a thing for most of the MS stack. Outlook, Teams, Word. Recently I had to dig into some cryptic Registry options to disable some stupid balloon notifications in outlook that pop up every time I open the app. I don't care about your tips and your new interface, I just want to be able to search for a specific email and go back to work quickly.
The regulation is more about the content rather than the distribution.

So advertisements can and are everywhere so long as they are not misleading, targeting kids or grossly offensive (I imagine)
Every dollar made by every person and organization needs to be accounted for, to the government. Unless you’re a mega church?

I don’t understand why asking religious organizations to report their financial activities (especially the massive orgs that have the resources to do so, unlike teeny tiny 10 member churches) would be such a big deal. But hey, I am no constitutional or government scholar. I am just a dude sick and tired of a rigged system, what do I know?
> David Nielsen: I thought we were gonna change the world. And we just grew the bank account.

Ahh ... Welcome to the real world.
That's what I used to believe long back. Later I realized that most so called NGOs are just for lining up the pockets of the management, and to help them lead a luxurious life paid for by the NGOs 'administrative expenses'.

> David Nielsen says since it was created in 1997, the reserve fund has swelled beyond $100 billion …twice the size of Harvard's endowment or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
David Nielsen: You could solve big problems with $100 billion.

I get his point. But there is a counter argument too.

I have seen some business houses establish Trusts that own shares of various companies.
The annual income of these trusts from interest, dividends and profits etc goes into various social activities.

This ensures that the organization will last for decades instead of spending all the money in one go.
That allows them to take up long term projects was my understanding.

----

The real issue is that the Church claims that they are investing money in humanitarian activities and the whistleblower says that they are not. But I think that the whistleblower might not have access to those accounts as those belong to the Church, he was with the investment arm.

Oh? What scale? Same scale than the worldwide economy health defining blackrock and vanguard?
It is, it just costs money.

Paid access is public access, it's just not free access.
Probably the latter. Some audiences can be very prudish.
Unless you are agreeing with me, I will suspect that you don't get the point of this part of the amendment.

It's about hands off. Understand, the church (legally) predates, and is not controlled by the state in western legal case history and laws.

The church came first, not state.

Again, just describing how we got here.

Were the said comments pro or against net neutrality? Why isn't this specified?
Addressing your edit:

1. I have not called anyone names. That is also false.

2. All people deserve defending from untrue statements about them regardless of how wealthy they are, I'm not sure why anyone would think otherwise.
I agree that state machines alone are probably not sufficient, but they are frequently a useful way of modelling at least part of the interaction flow. Honestly they should probably be used more in all areas of programming (but they should not be used exclusively).
Redux shines when you have an actual "app" with a large dynamic "global" client-bound state that pops up in different places and needs undo/redo (Like a video editor, Blender,etc).
And even then you preferably need some small helpers to make the experience smoother (slices from redux toolkit is a good example).

For most people doing a small CRUD pages that's just woefully overkill.
Esperanto is very Eurocentric, in grammar and phonolgy, not to mention being under-specified and idiosyncratic in ways that make it hard to learn. It's also sexist, completely apart from the fact it's gendered, and some of its vocabulary is ambiguous.
I agree with the tongue-in-cheek and the serious question. I was asking myself this just yesterday.

Britanica's definition is nice (the application of science to the optimum conversion of the resources of nature to the uses of humankind), but the base of all of them is creating from science.

I'm not sure what the researched-and-validated science is behind these prompting guides. They feel like creative works and really feel like they deserve a title highlighting this.

In a related thought, I feel like we might see creative titles growing in respect over the coming years, as humans look for ways to differentiate themselves from knowledgeable machines.
They broke the law and then knew it.

Mormonism is a money and political power squiring cult. 10% tithe payments is control.

This was not working. Then I added random question in different language:

Yeah that's the most interesting thing for me as well. I'm also curious about how wfh was granted and then removed: was there a contract change to guarantee it? Or did they simply "promise" to do so? If there was a contractual change to guarantee wfh, can they make another change and remove it just like that?

I've learned the hard way to never organize my life around benefits that are "promised" but not in my contract. This here is exactly what happens every single time: the person who made you the promise leaves the company and the promise goes along with them.
Also, maybe the company should rename from FairPhone to Fair or FairTech.
Well, many people do have those bigger problems, shouldn't we consider them?
When working at the Edinburgh Fringe, I once left my phone in a taxi, then went home and went to sleep pretty early. I was woken the next morning by flatmate banging loudly on the front door and holding my phone.

It turns out he didn't have his key, so had banged on the door for a while the previous night but I was too asleep to hear him and he had to sleep elsewhere. He'd also tried ringing me loads of times, and eventually someone in the back of the taxi found it and picked it up and my friend arranged with them to retrieve it.
I thought it was at best a thing to get a foothold in, not something to rename the company for.

Plus if you're renaming the firm and making it the focus, maybe do a better job. Give people legs for instance? The whole thing looks ridiculously dated. Maybe spend some of the money finding out what people want.
It doesn't have to be China. There are far smaller countries in Europe that are perfectly viable, and even countries that aren't viable, like North Korea, can still continue to exist despite that.

In this case, it's good that it happened so fast. It could have gone a lot worse.
I am not an american, but I understand it as a clear intended separation of state and church. So also no privileges especially for churches.
>People at the office will have hours of discussions that are not recorded anywhere, might even make decisions without your input and you are always playing catch up.

That happened a lot even during the in-office days as well. People with more seniority and influence would whiteboard new ideas and then bring you up to speed on the next daily standup on what they decided.

If you were indeed that vital to the engineering effort they would definitely rope you in for the whiteboard session. It's not the end of the world if you find out the decisions the next day. If you have some stellar feedback, you can bring it up then and I'm sure they'll consider it.

And honestly, roping in everyone to attend every single impromptu meeting just so you're up to speed on everything would be a huge time sink in terms of interruptions and I assure you you would complain about that too.

Seems like you can never please developers: If you don't invite them to attend all the meetings, then they're offended because they feel left out from important decisions. If you invite them to all the meetings then they're angry because you're interrupting their productivity with useless meetings. You can never win.

Developers should cut out the Mary Sue, and come down to earth for a bit, we're just cogs in a machine doing work for a paycheck, that's it, and even without you, your company and projects will still go on. You're most likely not the be-all end-all of your company as you imagine.
How Egypt's Pyramids Were Built
I think hypothetical naturally evolved alien species will be similar to us in the degree of species-level alignment. The reason we share so many complex values is because we share evolutionary history - thus body and brain architectures - and we live in the same environment. Between this and the more universal principles of game theory, there isn't much wiggle room for different value systems.
