What you're describing is more commonly known as the "Prosperity Gospel" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology - which is a niche theology that claims believers will experience "health

I agree. I believe that the infinite engineering prowess observed in the proton and so many other aspects of creation (Like the eye! Wow!) point directly to the existence of God. But then again, I've never met anyone who became a belie

I vote for #4 - use SCSS syntax with bounded forward-lookahead. > CSS to date requires only a small, known amount of lookahead in its parsing, which allows for more efficient parsing algorithms, so unbounded lookahead is generally consid

This is my biggest pet peeve with local tax increases. They always claim the money is going to whatever the public most cares about - education, etc. - but really it's just an overall budget increase, and the amount spent on education

Agreed; this is also what I do. For me, checking the top 10 HN stories on hckrnews with a 5 minute timer set is productive/useful, since I value being informed about major tech topics. When I scroll endlessly for an hour+ on the front

I once spoke with a Christian opthamologist who described how many times her professors had to remind their students that the eye was a feat of evolution, lest they reach the conclusion that this impossible engineering achievement was by th

Likely the downvotes were from people who either open carry themselves or know many other level-headed and law-abiding people who also legally open carry. As a community, I would argue that those who regularly open carry are much less likel

Exactly. "Please vote for our 1% sales tax increase! It's all going to education, we swear! Think of the children!" Well sure, you're allocating the new dollars to education, then moving the old allocations over to your

Thanks for sharing! Neat idea, and kudo's on creating a concept I haven't seen before! I like the technical nature of this with the weather integration and other technical sailing details implemented. If I may suggest an improveme

Very interesting! They link the full labelled 3D model in the article's footer: https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6vsb - very cool.

Agreed -- feels like a real waste of time after I Google'd the costs for the optics ($100 minimum if I did it right) and other parts (Raspberry Pi, etc), then Google'd what a pre-built way-nicer-than-I'd-need microscope goes

Yeah, but in RoboCup 3D the robots fall all over themselves and can barely play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1ElDs5eSQ - RoboCup seems focused more on simulating robot movement than the game itself. This new Google co

That loan (the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan) is capped at 2.5x monthly payroll, so at best it only helps companies survive 2 months or so without layoffs.

I doubt such sentiment is considered uncivil or rare. Everyone seems to agree that America has deep problems, but the nation is divided - and not just along party lines - about what those problems and solutions are. It's the useless co

"Because PHP" isn't the answer. PHP has had parameterized queries forever, and modern PHP looks little like the patch linked. :(

Totally agree. But if you zoom in, the circles do stop overlapping, which helps.

This article is an obvious propaganda piece. The CDC findings linked within, while boring to read, at least provide a more neutral view.

I agree that focus is rare and critical, but I take issue with the closing paragraphs that suggest prioritizing focus over relationships. What good is it to gain the whole world but have no one to enjoy it with? Of course this is simply ano

To interpret words, as a judge does, is inherently biased. Just because two people disagree on an interpretation of law does not mean they are not applying that law in good faith - we all have worldviews and beliefs that naturally color our

This comment has it correct; she defines abortion in a specific way (a common practice in documents / research papers / etc), and then makes a claim using this specific definition. The definition is left out of the headline, under

The embedded video in the article is logical in its assertions and therefore doesn't leave room for argument (obligatory replies to this comment aside). Unfortunately, logical arguments in an emotionally charged topic are usually heard
