The point is that both science and religion can "start with the end" in mind and back-fill to make their position seem solid. This has been done with global-warming/climate-change. Being done with COVID measures. Each side ha

Sure. There are several that I've personally had to deal with: baptism (by creed? by birth?), the nature of hell/eternal fate of the wicked, nature of Christ, even the support of slavery, etc. The one that I see that's really

Science is seeing full-well the problem that many religions (at least, those with Scriptures) have been having for centuries. (s/hypothesis/belief/ and s/fact/creed/). * I see individual scripture references ci

This is a complicated topic. Marriages dissolve for many reasons. In general, though, western society has embraced a view of marriage that combining view with a coupling view. No longer are married people “as one” but rather a couple mutua

If all of the latest Facebook news can get my family to start questioning their usage/dependency on Facebook—I think it's fairly possible. There have been a number of really great projects coming through HN and other sites recentl

Yes, but Google and Facebook are not public utilities, nor should they be.

I can't help—during the reading of the interview—but think of how people said the same things about Clarence Leonard "Kelly" Johnson. You know, the the Skunkworks guy. He and Steve seemed to have a lot in common: really high

One of the things that I wish IntelliJ had was some way of doing some "real world" benchmarks. It'd be great to know exactly what sort of speed improvements this might bring (or if it's really faster at all). It _seems_

Not sure about the testing, but as someone else pointed out to me, if you touch someone with dirty gloves, dirt will rub off. I am not sure if asymptomatic transmission has been confirmed or not. I kept hearing that if you didn't have

IIRC, they had to be careful not to _overcool_ the sensor because the sensors have an acceptable range in which they work. Anyway, the entire series of videos is pretty fun to watch.

Theoretical questions: 1. Let's say we could actually harvest all of this. Would it _actually_ be worth that amount? Once it gets here, wouldn't we have so much of it that people would be trying to give it away? 2. Would this impa

We're looking at weakness differently. As someone who was bullied growing up, when I discovered that I could ignore those people, it was a powerful moment in my life. I suddenly had total control over them because they couldn't co

The problem isn't strong views. It's weak people. There is a time and a place to coddle people. There is _also_ a time and a place for people's whose ideas are garbage to be declared as such and thrown into the bin. There was

I think you're right, however in general, one _ought_ to mature out of that phase and be able to separate the two.

Just in case anyone wants the short version: it starts off sounding like a fan slowly speeding up with something stuck to one of the blades and then (not very quickly) transitions to train/car horn noises.

Apple, for their part, seems to want up make you happy. So it behooves them to make things just work. I can watch my YouTube videos streamed effortlessly to my TV.

I had a buddy that has a Synology NAS and he runs a DB server on it... it's horribly slow. Speed-wise how do these compare? It may not be an apples-to-apples comparison, but it was unbelievably slow even for small operations.

We don’t have insurance. We find the lowest price and pay it. This year alone we’ve saved thousands using stuff like GoodRx and just paying cash. Edit: not to mention no premiums.

Agree. To extend your argument, we find that over the years that the application of the constitution has to be understood in new contexts. It doesn't evolve, but how it is understood to apply is discussed and what it covers does. That&
