If you had a lot of money but loved the god described in the New Testament more, then wouldn't you give it all away to the poor and needy as Jesus says?

There are some lyrics by a band called the Divine Comedy (how apposite) that used to make me smile: The cars in the churchyard are shiny and German (Distinctly at odds with the theme of the sermon), And during communion I study the people T

The point is it doesn't make sense. "It's easier for a rich man to enter heaven than to park their Range Rover in a smallish garage". So... slightly tricky but perfectly doable? It's not an interesting enough thing

So do those people want an individual to be able to incorporate, declare their corporation distributed and then not have to obey any country's laws?

I guess the argument is we shouldn't be endangering people who desperately need to be able to drive "erratically" for good reasons, in order to protect drunk-drivers from themselves. I suppose have some sympathy with that ar

Presumably 1:1 is the minimum acceptable. Whether the actual ratio is predictable or calculable is another matter.

Well, to meet an in-year shortfall it makes sense to move the money around. But the implication seems to be that underspending departments are "punished" with a smaller budget in subsequent years. I would naively hope a good manag

I have heard this many times about many places. It seems so perverse to a layman, so why is it apparently so widespread? Are there contexts in which it's the best system (ie. better than any reasonable alternative)?

I have a feeling the original '97 GTA could kinda do that. Or maybe GTA2. You could find the directories on disk where the radio music was stored and just copy in your own stuff.

Arguable the more fundamental problem is this. Air-con is a negative-sum game because it not 100% efficient. As well as moving heat from one place to another, it creates extra heat. Turn air-con on in an enclosed space, with nowhere to vent

It's best to read the article to understand why.

I agree they are playing different sports! Ideally, unrendered markdown still provides a first-class reading experience. I don't think Typst has that as a design goal.

Thanks. In British English it means something like "debatable" or "contested".

Microsoft would at least like him not to do that job for a competitor. Given they paid for a big stake in the market leader, and their stock price movements when this drama erupted, keeping these people in-house can be seen as damage contro

Roadsides used to be littered with miles of unspooled tape, fluttering from the stinging nettles and hawthorn like the ragged banners of a decimated battalion.

Perhaps we need to build out a way for clients to be able to trust content. Not signed with Hanks' public key, or the key of a reputable news source? The client, my tv, or whatever, should make that obvious somehow. The industry certai

The thing to notice about this system is that only people who send more emails than they receive lose out. It would end spam at a stroke. And it doesn't matter if online purchases are more expensive, because you get that money back thr

The main benefit of using open source in a corporate environment is that there is usually zero paperwork involved. As long as the licence is approved, have at it! As soon as you pay money for something, either a fee or a donation, you'

The absence of brands which might be expected to target a very narrow market segment doesn't really help us understand if this ad for a mass-market product was targeted. But you're right, it probably was to some extent. I guess my

I know you joke, but this advert is surely completely untargeted? It's definitely untargeted in the modern meaning (they don't pick which adverts to insert into the book when you buy it based on a profile of you). And even under a

I don't think I said unfalsifiable propositions are not useful! A proven theorem is sacred! Of course, until the laws of thermodynamics are revised we can provisionally say that all programs actually running in nature will indeed stop

We need a grouping to make it clear that some fields produce theories and others produce theorems. We need theory-producers to be more humble and provisional in their statements. We need theory-producers to forever remain open for their the
