>Dodgy accounting & staff retention meant that actually you don't get fuckyou money.

What is fuckyou money at this point? Take the Mega Millions lottery jackpot, it's default is $20 million nominal. You get cash payout instead of annuity, now it's about $10 million. Maybe you live in a state without income tax (I do), but the feds get their cut, now it's $5 millionish. You look for a nicer house (been living in an apartment)... and, since you don't want to lose it to property tax arrears all that quickly, you budget for that too for the next 20 years. How much house can you afford? Turns out, you're getting at most some upper middle class home in a second class city. Maybe with a nice car in the garage too. No live-in maids and chefs, no 40,000sqft mansions with indoor Olympic swimming pools and gold-plated toilets.

Hardly seems like fuckyou money at all. I think while we weren't looking, inflation snuck in and changed what fuckyou money actually was. You basically need to not just be a multimillionaire anymore, but a sub-billionaire.

>You'll never convince someone logically of something that has to be experienced viscerally.

While you might be right, Christianity in particular is based on truth claims, including specially the resurrection, so the Christian tradition places special emphasis on rational defense. Apologetics is not just a means to persuade others; it is also a means to persuade oneself.

Edit: Responses say that all religions involve truth claims. True, perhaps I was imprecise. I only mean that the Christian case is especially stark. St. Paul: "If Christ be not raised, your faith is in vain." I'm not aware of another faith tradition that considers itself to hang upon a single boolean.
>The Apologist Project is a non-profit on a mission to break down barriers to belief through a conversational AI trained on a range of topics

So it's intended to be a sort of evangelism?

Do people want AI to talk at them about religion?

I can imagine that being a big turn off for the targets of this AI.
Do you think your bank is obligated to run its software on your arbitrary device? Why? If, for its own risk tolerance of fraud, it needs to ensure nothing has messed with its app, shouldn't they have the right to refuse? You've not paid anything for the app, it's simply a venue for a service they offer.

I would not like to live in a world where I need to pay extra to ensure some folks want "freedom". Fraud indirectly is a tax on all of us. There should obviously be limits on what we put up with, but I'm not sold this limitation is where the line should be drawn
You can add them by creating a unique, temporary UUIDs/links that they can use?

You know them from somewhere else, lets say I play a game and we decided to get into a voice chat. We could create a temporary, dynamically created voice chat that we can all join (much like Google Meet) where all of us are anons.

Then, if we really want to know each other, we can then share the UUIDs.

I understand why ANYONE can send an email to me (I can decide when/will to check them)

I don't understand why ANYONE can whisper to my ears (I cant decide since they are pushed to the top of the app)
I cant explain the similarity of my comment to others around the same time. My reaction was a quick yay! to what I thought was a sane take on the capabilities and limitations of LLMS.
We could train an AI to reason like Elmer Gantry but we would probably just end up with the prosperity gospels we have now.
I think it depends on your experience. I think many people enjoy the structure of religion find some reassurance in it.
The church has a long history of defending and clarifying the principles and practices of faith in a relatively academic way, in a way that would surprise people who believe religion is an anti-intellectual endeavor.
> Though I think you're reading more into my phrasing than I meant, the overall skepticism is fair

I do want to re-iterate that I didn't intend to accuse you of only seeking to reinforce your biases

I read into your phrasing not to needle you, but because it set off some thoughts in my head, that's all

Thanks for being charitable with your reply, and I appreciate your thoughts

I’m not sure it’s just the financing being controlled by “the VC’s”, but also definitely the entire culture.

I mean, the model for most companies - having a very heavy legal component when big money figures are being generated/spent - requires a great deal of bureaucracy which, somehow, inherently prohibits participation at an individual scale, in the massive profits.

It seems that a lot of it hinges on the nature of work for hire. If only there were systems in place that could make every human being a work for hire payment, even those performing CEO duties, then possibly the profits would be easier to spread.

I think a lot of startup problems exist in the Founder/CEO versus Founder/CTO versus Founder/CFO dynamic, which is what any company following the legislated structures must deal with.

VC’s exploit these dynamics, they can do it with money/financing, and they can do it without it, as well.

The crazy thing is, cases exist throughout history of three individuals getting together, building something great, and doing it without requiring any venture capital, generating through their own efforts, adventure capital.
Because as a matter of fact, restuarants have been employing (paying wages) to emplyees who's role is to deliver food. They charge a delivery fee which they have rationalized will cover this "cost", and then have historically fell on the consumer to actually pay the driver.

if delivery where NOT offered by these traditional restaurants, they would have gone out of business. Typical market force at work here, nothing new; needing to modify service to increasee value proposition.

Now, Food delivery apps came in and promised restuaranteurs that they could remove the pesky delivery drivers, but still keep those sweet seeet delivery-meal profits. That is of course, until all these apps just sucked money from both the restaurants AND the drivers.

So, Why should the restautant cover the cost of delivery? Because, they provide a historical good and service, which they outsourced, and now everyone loses. They would make more money if they went back to handling employment of drivers. It's way easier for me to pay a 2 dollar deliveyr fee and 5 dollar tip when I know that there isn't another an arbitraty app in the middle collecting my money.

edit: to explain my ramble, I haven't had food delivered since like college because it's so confusing/a money grab. To order delivery from the pizza place I've gone to since I was a kid, I need to download an app and pay twice as much? And they make less? Why?
its a complete lie. In the 70s we were treated like luggage. shoved in the back of the station wagon, inhaling cigarette smoke from dad, and playing at construction sites. Im not kidding, that was the affluent kid.

>move our local communities off Facebook and onto our own platform. Is there a off-the-shelf solution

To get better answers, you need to flesh out all the features of Facebook that your communities are using. E.g. Shared event calendars? Groups? Private Messaging? Video hosting for users to upload vids of community events? Live feeds? Etc.

Look at the left side of navigation topics to help you enumerate and think about it:
https://www.facebook.com/help/130979416980121/

Do you expect those ~50k to create new logins for the new platform? Or do they sign in with their existing "Facebook ID" to avoid hassle of new account creation? Do they need a phone app? If it's website only from the smartphone web browser, do you need web push for notifications? Facebook interaction with others has convenient lookup from the phones' contact listing. Web-only site doesn't have straightforward access to smartphone's address book (without PhoneGap). Etc.

If your communities are using a lot of those social networking features, it means trying to use Mastodon as a substitute for Facebook is going to be a very incomplete solution.

Of course, alternative solutions are not going to fully match Facebook but you still need to think of the threshold for a minimum viable feature set so your 50k users won't reject it.

I had to use an LLM to find out what a Christian Apologetic was. Apparently this means people or groups who seek to actively defend Christian beliefs (presumably against skeptics, atheists, etc) through formal reasoning and evidence.
These are great points, but...wouldn't they pretty much apply to any proposed use of LLMs for disseminating any kind of information?

I suppose I would expect (or at least hope) that a Christian apologist would be more sensitive to these issues. But really, if it is unethical to make up bullshit (using the article's terminology) for Jesus Christ, what exactly is it ethical to make up bullshit for?

VCs aren't banks and startups (in the SV sense) aren't seeking funding to do something tried and true in a new place. A VC invests expecting most of their investments to fail.

Banks expect returns, and the things they fund are expected to turn a profit. There are systems in place to claw back assets and funds in the event it fails to do that; and most will, but they're expected to come to the bank with a plan for profit in hand. There are different kinds of bankruptcies to address different kinds of failure. Banks tend to not give loans to people who fail a lot, and the terms get worse with each failure.

Meanwhile, in VC-land, the 1/10 startup that brings the profit for the fund could very well be started by the person who failed the other 9/10 times.

It seems like if the expectation is, with rare exceptions, most startups won't turn a profit, and there's no real penalty or punishment for repeat failure (because it's expected), it's not a for-profit system. It's a patronage system that periodically mints new patrons.

The fundamental issue is that GitHub thinks the artifact you are reviewing is code. But the artifact I want to review is a series of commits. I make review comments like "please split this into a separate commit", "please add info XYZ to the commit message".

GitHub doesn't offer any way to review changes to those things. If the author force-pushes (which is normal and healthy if you are iterating on a series of patches, instead of on a blob of code) there's no way to diff the details I want to look at.

Compare Gerrit where for each individual commit you can diff between two versions of that commit, with a side-by-side UI showing the comments inline that the changes were made in response to.

From speaking to friends I believe this is because "why would you force-push? Just push a new commit called 'respond to review comments'". When I said "but now your commit log is a mess" they say "no, you just squash the whole PR into a single commit when you merge it. So... yes, your commit log is a mess. Bear in mind there is also no support for dependencies between PRs. So basically, you are throttled to one in-flight PR per area of work at a time. So... your commits are gonna end up being huge. Not really viable for a large project.

I have noticed that there are major projects like k8s underway on Github and they seem to get by, so maybe I'm missing something. I know that Go allow PRs but if you wanna do serious contributions they will funnel you to contribute via Gerrit instead.
The study ended so no worries. In any case, congrats on the exit!

Navigating the complexities of payment processing in the travel industry can be challenging, especially for businesses classified as high-risk. Factors such as high transaction volumes, frequent chargebacks, and the global nature of travel services contribute to this classification. Securing a high-risk merchant account is essential for travel businesses to process payments efficiently and maintain customer trust.

Understanding High-Risk Merchant Accounts in Travel

A high-risk merchant account is tailored for businesses that face increased risks of chargebacks, fraud, or regulatory challenges. Travel agencies, tour operators, and related services often fall into this category due to:

High Transaction Volumes: Large numbers of bookings increase the likelihood of disputes and chargebacks.
Advance Purchases: Customers frequently book services months in advance, raising the risk of cancellations and refunds.
Global Transactions: Processing payments from various countries introduces complexities in currency conversion and compliance.
Challenges in Travel Payment Processing

Travel businesses encounter several obstacles in payment processing:

Chargebacks: Disputes over services or cancellations can lead to financial losses and affect merchant account stability.
Fraud Prevention: Detecting and preventing fraudulent transactions is crucial to protect revenue and reputation.
Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to international payment regulations requires robust systems and expertise.

> "deanonymization" is stretching the definition of the word, along with "grab the user's location", as it isn't anything near precise.

You'd think so, but you would be surprised how quickly this adds up to other details people share, like "oh I just drove 15 minutes to get Starbucks" or something to that effect, small things that eventually add up to a precise location over time.
Apple to me has clearly a goal of providing a tiny version of smart phone on your wrist. Garmin aims at as-smart-as-possible watch. Everything else comes from this philosophy, be it battery, design of not only display and it shape etc.

Different people prefer different things, for me its definitely the smart watch part. I am rather sporty, and tbh don't care about phone capabilities on my wrist, when I have it in the pocket/on the desk, that 1s lost when reaching for it is fine.

Premium price, premium look, massively better battery, durability, option of solar charging etc. I am taking poster child in Garmin Fenix 8 since they have very wide range of products compared to Apple. Fenix 8 is also much prettier than Apple's ultra wrist brick but thats subjective I guess. Diving capabilities for casual divers like me are just cherry on top, saving me some 300-400 for good enough (but otherwise completely useless) diving computer, minimizing yet-another-device syndrome.
I DJ for partner dances and have used Mixxx after i discovered DJ software

It was cool getting to explore features like the ability to stream to radio websites that others would follow a link to, to hear the music( something done in the first few years of COVID to facilitate DJ'ed music for 'online ' dances, which were a thing for a while.

I tout it heavily and enjoy it, and it is pretty incredible that it provides all that it does for free and in a open source manner . I hope it continues to grow. I run into a few others who use Virtual DJ and hope that Mixxx eventually picks up the few things they do it does not yet do

I have a Garmin Instinct 2 solar. I had g-shock watches before, because I liked how tough they were, and the instinct2 is pretty close. I wear it swimming, running, sleeping, showering, etc. I take it off about once a month when I charge it up. This summer, I went 6 weeks between charges.

The basic tracking of cardio, hiking, snowshoeing, etc, is exactly what I want from a smartwarch (lets me gamify my physical activity, and sleep).

I does have some great ways to map hikes, find out how to get back (direct path, or retrace steps, etc). Its pretty amazing for a low level garmin.

Christianity, like all religions will need to explain technology like generative AI within the context of their theology and their cosmology. Is it a force for good or evil? Will we critically misuse the technology in the future and will that misuse color all efforts to use the technology as a tool for proselytization as fundamentally evil? Will generative AI allow all religions to quickly reach critical mass or will public sentiment of religion quickly drop to telemarketer levels?

I'd advise caution.
Agree on the sales! Definitely need to do it.

i don't think you can call opsec basic, since it requires tons of knowledge about technology and techniques adversaries might deploy against you. targets of attacks don't neccesarily have this kind of knowledge.

opsec is _incredibly_ hard for a person not deeply into technology and this type of information. you might argue that you need to stick with certain tools and techniques that are known good, but new vulnerabilities and techniques implemented against you can completely shatter previous knowledge on whats good and bad opsec and still break it despite doing it 'very well'. (like certain darknet markets being closed down due to new vulnerabilities being found in the platforms they use...)

most people who rely on opsec/tradecraft for a living, also rely on teams of people to help them maintain it and validate it constantly... (or eventually fail and get bitten).

you are right though that its unlikely a company or app producer would have a threat model tuned to people who want to hide stuff. those things generally tend to be closed down sooner or later. (encrochat and such services...)
