Incidentally, there is yet another interpretation of "taking the Lord's name in vain"[1] to mean "to speak as if you have the authority of God."

Some people seem to believe that certain words, by their nature, have different power than other words of equivalent meaning. So you see this sanctimonious abolition of "cursing", where it's okay to say "darn" instead of "damn" and "butt" instead of "ass" and "I am displeased" instead of "this is fucking bullshit".

So this notion of "taking the Lord's name in vain" must mean something else. A little study of context tells us that many shamans and prophets and priests of various religions would "invoke" the name of their god when making decrees to lend authority to their statements.

Which doesn't work if you're trying to prove out the legitimacy of God. Whomever wrote The Bible understood some things about logic[2]. He knew that appeal to authority was a logical fallacy, and thus much of the judeochristian system is predicated on the personal relationship between man and God and the dangers of overtrusting Church leadership. "The devil will quote scripture to you."

And intent matters. If you say "it's a pleasure to meet you" with your jaw and fists clenched, you probably don't really mean it, and are basically telling a lie. A poor lie, but a lie nonetheless. Does saying "gosh darnit" really make a difference to an omnipotent and omniscient being such as God? I think He would know that you meant, "God fucking dammit all to burning hell in a whore's handbasket"[3].

Because one must understand the reasoning behind God's laws. It doesn't matter if you literally pushed the knife into a man's heart or just arranged for it to happen that someone else kill the man, you killed the man. To follow the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law is duplicitous, dishonest. This sort of behavior is held up throughout the Bible as that of the "Gentiles", the non-Jews who mince the Lord's law.

So this is where the prohibition against "taking the Lord's name in vain" comes in. It's about "do not deign to speak for God." And with that understanding, it becomes clear that it is the people who say, "you shouldn't say Goddammit, it's offensive to God" are the ones who are committing said sin in the first place.

So yeah, fuck em.[4]

> If you get sick and can't work, is the health care system supposed to pay your mortgage too?

In lots of countries, if you get too sick to work, the government will assist you in paying for housing. In lots of countries, they'll do it if you're just unemployed, too.

There's no righteousness to the fend-for-yourself ideals of the USA. It doesn't have to work that way. You can choose, as a society, to sacrifice extreme wealth for greater equality. It doesn't make those countries better, but nor does it make them worse.

The widespread and persistent belief in the USA that whatever the USA does is the best way, and all other countries are dumber and weaker, is one of the most distasteful things about living here as an immigrant. It doesn't have to work this way. The American way is not automatically the best one.
Under that definition of feminist, whats the difference from being a humanist?

I rarely if ever see feminist trying to push forward right of men where equality would prompt it.

A better definition would be "the movement aimed at equal rights for women [in cases which women are underprivileged compare to men]".
That's okay, Google will one up that by doing a Dogecoin converter.

Oh, the documentation for Blender does suck, though. There are certain key UI features that were moved after the documentation was written. Your best bet is to get into an IRC channel or a forum.
The top can get the best care for the right price, the bottom has been inadequately supported though much progress has been made with ACA, and lots of people in the middle are inadequately prepared, because given the choice, they choose a higher standard of living instead of more safety for the future. To be given that choice is engrained in a lot of American culture.

You won't find much sympathy for the middle class who choose a nicer house in a more expensive city, a newer car, or a bigger family instead of safety and security for the future.

Sure especially bad circumstances happen, and then you have the government, friends, and family to fall back on... and maybe some of these public services could be improved, but a significant positive change certainly has happened with the ACA.

Progress isn't necessarily taking choice away from the population, because ultimately health care will cost the same whether you can choose your coverage or the government chooses it for you... if there are inefficiencies and cost problems, don't think that forcing everyone to have the same health coverage will fix them... there are plenty of other problems.

6 Entrepreneurs Tell Us Their Biggest Mistakes
What’s New With Facebook’s Paper?
Insurance companies generally have to spend 80% of premiums on medical expenses[1]. The profit and marketing expenses aren't that much of your premiums. What you seem to be asking for is price fixing the way much of the rest of the world handles healthcare, which will reduce the incentives to advance medicine. I prefer our current approach, where those who can afford to pay are left to pay as much as they're willing to, which increases the number of smart people who are willing to solve everyone's medical problems.

I grew up in Houston, where people from around the world go when they want to be treated for cancer at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. It's not cheap, but the best doctors in the world head there because they can make the most money.

Well, since you're "here"

Here's the question I'd want to ask: if the Facebook ad clicks are from click-farms but you don't pay for them, how did they get there?

One guess would be that click-farm people like stuff at random to "seem legitimate". Maybe Facebook itself incentivizes fake account to like stuff by not deleting fake accounts that behave "conveniently".

But that's just a guess, I've look for someone to do more research.
You sound like somebody who hasn't done that much search engine marketing. You can lose $20k on google in the blink of an eye and have nothing to show for it but clicks and exit-pages. Some of this may truly be Facebook's problem, I don't know, I personally doubt it. But no, if one negative-ROI campaign led people to abandon Google, they'd have no advertisers left, either. So I think your premise is flawed.
>What does tar mean? ls? df? gunzip (something with guns?)?

How are MORE bad examples an argument against what he says? If anything they reinforce his statement.

Plus, the thing with "tar" and "ls" is that they've been tar and ls in all Unices for decades. If you learn "ls", and maybe "dir" if you want to use Windows, you're golden. Whereas every language seems to use its own names for "princ", "setf" etc, both before and after CL.

But they're endemic to the advertising product you sell. "It sucks for us, too!" is no comfort.
Not that I know of. I haven't tried exposing an SSH server from containers to Vagrant (and Vagrant to your machine), but that could be a possibility.

As far as I know, you can only SSH into containers by running `docker attach {$id/$name}` or `sudo lxc-attach {$id}`.

Dockerfiles might be helpful for you though – they can take care of booting instances as and when needed?
Cool, I just assumed they sold e-cigs - thanks for the correction.
If it's basically going to be a lifestyle business and everyone's goal for the business a year out is to do little more than take checks from their mailbox to the bank, then 15% is great because the work is almost done.

On the other hand, if it's a startup in the Silicon Valley sense and everyone's goal a year out is raising Series B funding, then pretty much all the work remains to be done and equity should be evenly split and vesting on a schedule and everything else that Joel Spolsky might recommend for founding a company, because any imbalance between equity and effort will create an increasingly caustic environment should the value of equity take off.

If it's really a startup and the goal is an exit north of $50 million or something like that, then convert the cash investments into loans to the company with interest, not equity.

My last thought is that tough negotiations for equity in this situation are a bad sign. It's focused on how to divide a single pie rather than the pie factory that needs to be built. How the company got to it's current state is less important than where it is going. Good luck.
If you have an especially difficult medical problem or you have the money and want the best possible care, your hospital of best choice is probably American.

If you're talking about average medical conditions and the average outcomes... maybe not, but those statistics are usually about the medical systems as a whole which is much more difficult to compare in a country without universal health care.

Although this project renames functions, that isn't all that it does.

(replying to this comment since I can't tell which is the furthest down on the comment tree)

Wage differences are not as simple issue as potraited here. For example, if discrimination is the only factor, why is the discrimination only after the age of 40? Before that, wage difference is in many professions negligent. A study in Sweden noticed that by every 10 years from the age of 30, average wage differences between men and women increases by a factor of 2 (ie, 30 = 0-10%, 40 = 15-20%, 50 = ? - 40%).
Kiva publicly states, and has for years, the loans are made prior to individual funding via Kiva. While I do believe the majority of users don't know this, I think Kiva does a decent job of disclosing it, saying they are being deceptive, I believe is inaccurate.

It is true the yields are quoted as portfolio yields (average for the lender overall). This seems adequate to me. If the yields are not representative (out of date, etc.) that is bad and Kiva should fix. I didn't notice evidence that this was a widespread problem. Kiva also lumps in all costs to the lender so it isn't like many financial institutions in the USA trying to fake low interest rates with lots of hidden fees etc. (though regulation has made it more difficult for financial institution to make loan rates deceitful - not that they don't try but it is much harder than 15 years ago).

It is peer-to-peer at the essence I think, though it is often not directly that way and I don't think Kiva hides how it works at all. Though I do agree it is easy for someone to not make one or two extra clicks to read a bit about Kiva before making a loan but I think Kiva's balance is fine. Kiva also has a new thing called Kiva Zip that is more "pure" peer-to-peer for people that want that.

I have given to another organization that just made grants (instead of loans) for over 10 years now. Trickleup.org It doesn't have the neat peer-tp-peer psychology going for it. And it is straight charity, not a loan. I have also wished trickleup.org did (or arranged for professors to do) studies on the impact. They have done a bit more in the last few years on the research piece.

I would like more study of Kiva. I want to understand if it is helping and what factors matter. I steer toward lower loan rates but does that really make sense (I figure too high a rate increases risk for the person). I try to lend to purchases of equipment that will increase productivity (though I can't always find those loans) - is that really effective? I also like loans to buy things to rent out devices to increase productivity (some people buy washing machines and lend them out...).

I am very lucky. I like to help give others a chance to gain economic success in the very limited ways I can afford to. I hope Kiva helps, but I do question if it does. And I question if they are focused on growth so much (as most USA based organizations are) that they grow beyond what is helpful. It is possible there is a core that is now say 20% of the Kiva's loans that are hugely beneficial. 50% that are sometimes great, sometimes bad... the value is questionable overall... And say 30% that are likely to just make things worse. But those figures could be anything (from what I know - I don't have any data).

Given what I know I think it is worth lending some money through Kiva. If I were one of those huge foundations giving Kiva millions I would spend at least 20% on research until there was good data on how successful it is and what are the keys for making it work.
>On the other hand, if you adjust the costs for purchasing power, the unfortunate result is that most of the people are pretty much fucked.

They are not. As I said, this was the cost in the best of hospitals. In government hospitals, poor people get medical care for a fraction of it. Of course, the health care system is still not good, but I'm convinced that a US like system of insurance is not a solution either. Canada and some other countries have it much better.

>In fact the US would look cheaper for the majority of the population.

No, it's not. Had this system been working, millions of Americans wouldn't go outside USA to get basic treatment (many of them go to India). Something is fundamentally wrong here ([1], [2], [3], [4]).

>To sum up your post in a quip "Oh, look, PHP programmer at work, LOL, what did you expect?"

Ever noticed how those are entirely your words?

I merely pointed out at his experience -- not picked on the particular language he uses. In fact I've supported PHP in other HN threads.

The language was only mentioned because HE used it in his bio blurb.

What I wanted to point in that blurb was: random web developer (ie. not a person with known expertise in financial software and money exchanges) and a silly nickname (ie. not really the short of mature behavior that inspires confidence in a major venture such as a financial service).

Contrary to the purely theoritical notion that such a nickname is "totally unrelated to competence" (which might be perfectly reasonable in theory), I'd say that in the real world it speaks volumes about maturity and self-perception. If my banker was calling himself "Crazy-Ass Joe" or "Mr Fancypants" I'd be similarly worried.

>One point speaking for Mt.Gox is that they are still in business while other exchanges folded. Somebody seems to trust them.

Well, to paraphrase P. T. Barnum, there is one person trusting them born every minute.

Pretty much all CS departments don't want solutions for most assignments (open-ended final projects excepted) on GitHub for a simple reason: they reuse assignments term to term because it is incredibly difficult and work-intensive to develop an excellent CS assignment.

While it might be possible in some courses, in many, it would be impossible to develop new assignments every term at the quality that they currently use now.

While most schools do employ quite good plagiarism detection technology (eg. MOSS) that will catch if someone turns in an assignment done by a previous student, they'd rather not have to report multiple students every term to judicial affairs, and they can't catch smaller academic dishonesty like looking at others' code to get ideas for design decisions.

For example, the Operating Systems assignments I did in university[1] are spectacular. The starter code is great, they're intense, they don't make you waste time on stuff that's not too educational. I learned a ton from them. They've been in use for years, done by probably thousands of students, and there would be no easy way to seriously change them yearly. I'm very glad my professors were able to invest in developing a great assignment set once and then reuse it year to year.

I don't like IDEs because they are monolithic beasts that slow down everything that I want to do. There's a big difference between

* a giant that IDE that wants to own my code and my entire workflow and

* a little plugin for a text editor that shows me "git blame" output

Would you say that I should go without syntax highlighting because that's one step on the road to IDEs? No, of course I can pick the features I want a la carte.
