Not everything written down and claimed to be from God is, indeed, from God. Unreputable people have managed to insert themselves into "holy" works for ages upon ages now, and, if not in the works themselves, then certainly in our understanding of them.

That is why everything is weighed against love. And the vast majority of human beings -- especially so-called religious authorities -- utterly fail in that regard. Selfishness for money and power corrupt most everyone, and religion is rife for abuse by the unscrupulous.

Also, God's rules vary over the eons for different cultures and epochs.

Even that isn't really true, since you don't pay taxes on Roth IRAs, and a normal IRA is taxed based on the total amount distributed (since you didn't pay taxes on the amount put in), rather than cost basis.

The flash memory on the Nexus tablet was pretty poor quality. Like many Android devices of the era, eventually you get higher and higher rates of read failures which makes the error correction try again and again to get a good read massively reducing disk performance. It's hardware falling apart.

Indeed, he didn't commit genocide, but his wars ended up killing 3.5 to 6 millions people, a staggering amount for the time.

Given that those deaths were basically because of his lust for territorial extension and disregard for human life, I would say we are in a similar ballpark as Mao, Hitler, Stalin, etc.

Of course, our history books are quick to state he made reforms, particularly legal and administrative ones, that benefitted our country a lot and still echo benefits today.

But again, I think if you a responsible for millions of deaths because of your desire for conquest, any arguments you can make in the other way are instantly moot.

You may, however, made the argument that it would have been better to be a French citizen at the time than somewhere else, depending on where and how you were born. But it's a different point.

> I’ve used TailwindCSS for the styling, but you can apply them directly with CSS for the same result

Anyone else think this Tailwind-everything trend has gone too far? Tools have strengths and weaknesses, but I never understood why Tailwind specifically is so poularly seen as some kind of "default" these days - rather than a supplement to CSS for common/simple operations.

Personally I think the popular trends have overcorrected from CSS; soon we'll realize that the amount of complexity above is screaming to be packaged up and named something, rather than being crammed into the markup alongside more sensible things like text-black.
It's amazing to be the one saying it! I'm generally reflective and
reluctant to take up slogans. But once the jackboots started proudly
and openly signalling it on the world stage, it got a bit difficult to
keep pretending otherwise. God knows we all tried. For at least 10
years anyone who spoke of what they saw coming was attacked, banned,
piled-on and ridiculed.... all those "Good People" (many of them here)
did the fascists work for them. It's understandable. Nobody wants to
feel uncomfortable, right? But now is the time for more
self-honesty.

>The healthcare system of a country was run in Excel. Didn't you read the title?

Obviously I have read not just the title, but also the article.

>I said the fact that it could be used for that, makes it an impresive achievement for the app

You can try to use a fork to dig a tunnel, but it is hardly an impressive achievement of the fork that it can be used this way, neither you could possibly dig anything big with it. It would be an impressive achievement for Excel, if it actually worked, but the article mentions that there were problems with accounting done this way.

Excel is a powerful tool that can handle massive amounts of data, no doubt. However its feature set is not enough for this kind of tasks. As @zimpenfish said in another comment in this thread, the problem was both in Excel and in processes. Task-appropriate tools help to build good processes around them.
> So, by '88, the Government was still out £400 million or so on its investment

Only if you consider its book value as a measure of success, but the aim of public ownership is not just to buy an asset and make a direct profit on share price. Losing all those workers in one go would have been catastrophic for the economy, it would have had to have bailed out the company in some form if it didn't buy it.

BL secured a lot of well-paying jobs for people who pay tax in the UK AND was profitable for much of its tenure. As a major manufacturer, it strengthened exports, bolstered manufacturing expertise within the country and generated soft power. From the government's point of view, this is certainly worth more than the book value alone.

As I said, it was unable to evolve as a business, it languished, and would have needed more investment and modernisation. It happens to private businesses too. The directors and govt chose to sell off the best bits rather than invest or seek more investment.

I understand the business case for this, but I think it was short-sighted: the long-term loss of a major UK manufacturing industry and soft power brands has not been a good thing for the country, in my opinion.

> Also-I'd love to know which Anglophone government has a record of success with: 1.) A fully nationalized company 2.) That is highly capital intensive 3.) In the consumer-product or durable-goods space

Privatised transport and utilities in the UK have been a very obvious and dismal failure. There have been no successes, as far as I'm aware. They cheap out on paying for critical infrastructure. They have to keep getting bailed out by the government, which is much more inefficient use of taxpayer money, and the profits go to shareholders instead of the taxpayer.

British Rail, British Telecom, Thames Water Authority, Post Office... were they more profitable as government agencies? No. Were there examples of mismanagement? Sure. Did they provide better value to the public? Absolutely.
Never attribute to incompetence what may be adequately explained by market incentives that reward malice.
I don't just go throwing my devices into water intentionally, but having waterproof phones has been a lifesaver for me. I've fallen into pools with my phone. I've had phones around a pool I thought we're safe but still got soaked from splashes. I've been caught in pretty massive rainstorms without a waterproof pocket or bag. I've had things spill while cooking. I've had kids with sticky fingers get all kinds of greasy nasties all over my phone and been happy I could just rinse it in the sink.
There are a few basic skills that lots of developers stubbornly refuse to learn properly:

- Git

The critical mass problem is only insurmountable for social media that seeks to connect people globally. Locally, you never notice this problem.

For example, in your typical gaming clan Discord server, a tenement building's WhatsApp/email group, or a small town's quarterly town hall meeting. It only takes a handful of people in such social groups for the group to serve its purpose.

Indeed, TheFacebook easily reached its critical mass when it was limited to Harvard College. Hacker News would work just as well with 500 monthly readers as it does with 5,000,000+ currently.

Whales, celebrity influencers (whether from out-of-network or homegrown celebrities), and other such things are only needed to compete with the social media giants today. But if you don't wish to compete and want to serve a small community, then this is not a problem.

The world runs on Excel. Contrary to popular belief that ERPs and what not is what companies use. Big companies use Excel to verify the ERP data and reports.

There was an article shared here on HN sometime in the middle of last year that broke down how versatile Excel is and how different companies are trying to steal just a niche use of Excel (I remember reading about Airtable doing the automation bit much easier than in Excel, some company doing charts easier than Excel and so on). I wish I could find it again.

Imagine the difficulty of running a conspiracy to change Biblical texts. You'd have to find and modify every copy of scripture everywhere on the planet. The only people who realistically could've attempted this might've been a Roman Emperor or an early corrupt Pope.

But even those people wouldn't have been unable to modify the Dead Sea Scrolls, as those weren't discovered until well after the Roman empire ended / Papal authority of all Christians faded. There are also many other ancient manuscripts, some discovered relatively recently (i.e post reformation) and a couple dating back into the first millennium BCE [1].

FileMaker seems to cover this (admittedly my interactions with it was in high school, which was last millennium), it's a database app but there's a lot of "make your own UI" parts in it, so you can create custom UIs (and wizards) for your use cases.

I suppose MS Access offers this too, although FM feels more user-friendly, MS Access felt like Internet Explorer 4, where an error dialog would pop-up for every little JavaScript error (disclaimer: this opinion is from 25 years ago).

Really? That's pretty horrible understanding of stats you have there. By your logic, it makes no sense to say that the fertility rate is 1.81 and has changed by 0.8 to now be 1.73 because a woman can either give birth to 1 or 2 kids.

We do measure Earth's average temperature for what it's worth and while different metrics might give different results, the absolute value is not really useful. What is useful is the change in that metric. And if our global temperatures change by 0.1C by any one metric, it is a very significant change given that the metric is well designed. And yes, it is possible to design a good metric.
Yes, the Irish economy is bigger than the British, all you have to do to get that answer is: count all the revenue of famous Irish corporations such as Apple, Microsoft, Intel (and others) as Irish revenue, and divide by the respective populations (6M and 70M).

There's nothing simple in running accounting in a healthcare system with 16B budget. A small database with simple web UI would have the same problems as Excel spreadsheet.

> It's absurd, whether an LLM has access to a function isn't a property of the LLM itself

But the LLM coming up with another answer when it lacks that function is a property of the LLM itself. It lacks the kind of introspection that would be required to handle such questions.

Now current date is so common that you see a lot of trained responses for that exact question, but LLMs makes similar mistakes to all sorts of questions that they have no way of answering. But even when trained LLM still do make mistakes like that, since for example stories and such often say the date is something else than the date it was written etc. A human that is asked knows this isn't a book or a science report, but an LLM doesn't.

Nope I just mixed up a rephrase. I originally said "ordinal extremes" and meant to say "extreme values". I replaced the wrong word.
It seems to be a matter of indifference to many that a persistent societal division of fifty-fifty is symptomatic of a profound societal schism. This is because such a division, in any configuration, maximizes the number of those who are discontented. As it is written, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." To my mind, this matter is of far greater significance than any secondary, tangible processes that may be occurring in consequence.

Furthermore, the mechanisms that ensure the mathematical expectation of electoral outcomes to hover around a fifty-fifty split — a phenomenon observable in many nations — are fundamentally economic in nature. Both factions commit resources to the electoral contest to secure a mere one percent advantage, as such is the foundational principle of democracy: a majority of fifty-one percent prevails.

Thus, economic factors — for an electoral campaign is, in essence, a contest of capital—having, in effect, subverted the very system of democratic elections, inevitably lead to the decay of nations that religiously adhere to the mathematics of a single percentage point as the sole criterion of legitimacy. In optimizing for democratic representation, social stability and equilibrium have been forfeited.

It is akin to the psychological paradox: "I am correct, and all acknowledge it, yet why do I not experience contentment?" It is because one has optimized for correctness — or in the context of elections, for fairness and representativeness — rather than for overall well-being. Such is the predicament inherent in the pursuit of a mere fifty-one percent majority.

This sounds like bit of column one and column two. On one hand, poverty by income in USD must assume that the world's economy had globalized enough, such that, there can be no such locations on Earth as where $0.01 pays Michelin star lunch for dozen healthy adults. That's going to completely break premises of this metric.

On the other hand, it's probably useful enough for now. Maybe there are 100x differences between prices for a sack of potatoes across different developing countries and therefore this index is at least that much inaccurate, but poverty problems and income gaps are a lot worse than that anyway, so there are ways this could make sense within reason.
