I think the idea is that now that it's a public issue, it will have to be addressed more than just bringing us back to pre-war levels.

Glad to hear you found your way back to the outside portion of the bottle :)

Sure, and there's the near-identical pattern where valid specific criticisms are taken as broad criticism even though they aren't, etc., etc..

I used to think heat/exercise was my only trigger. Then I got ahold of some of some HDR-enabled emojis and immediately started seeing auras everywhere haha. Didn’t take long to get rid of those. I didn’t get one from this article, but

FYI if you get ocular/retinal migraines like me then the exercise in this article might be a bad idea.

Rail for the US has always been more about moving goods than people. For overland long-haul freight it is significantly cheaper than trucking. Rail allows us to ship goods to places where we don’t have ports or river access. A place like Ja

Yes, I am aware of this passage. He is not speaking to equality of genders. You can read his other writings to see how he treated actual women who were in leadership roles in the early church. If you believe in Christianity then you believe

This is the answer to whether AI executives actually take their own rhetoric seriously. If they actually believed in things like UBI as a solution they’d be doing something besides this.

Having read the Bible several times through, I don't see any disagreement between Jesus and Paul. This is further supported by the fact that the original disciples/apostles accepted Paul's teachings. And if there were a disag

This is a rather unbalanced perspective that lacks a shred of evidence. I can't imagine that you've actually read his letters, because if you had you'd know his stance on the role of a husband is not remotely what you've

He certainly has his critics, but in my view it’s absurd to place him next to the Crusades, Inquisition, et al…

I think what's most clear to me about the Papacy and the Pentagon is that neither of them actually believes scripture.

Not a Catholic, but a Christian, and I think Christians in general are in a very difficult position in the US, which has not historically been the case. Today any party-line vote is a vote against one Christian core belief or another.

As long as you're making fun of people twisting Christianity to suit their goals I guess this is funny. But imagine how frustrating it must be for genuine believers in a Jesus who says, "Blessed are the peacemakers," and, &qu

Sure, this is a way to get better at learning songs, in particular. Any consistent practice will result in getting better, though. After about 20 years of playing (though less as the years have gone by and life has been busy), I actually fi

You are entitled to your own beliefs, no matter how crazy they are. Society doesn’t have to be held hostage by them, though.

Yes, I almost totally agree with all of this. And I do believe in gray areas, but I don’t expect law enforcement to. I think that leaves room for worse things like corruption/favoritism. I don’t deny that those things happen too, but t

Did you work out during those 10 weeks any? TBH if you went from regular lifting to not for 10 weeks I'd expect a similar decrease in your lifting numbers (though not a .4lb/day weight loss of course)

Wrong. "No people I agree with were harmed," perhaps. This is no different than cronyism.

No, it doesn't, at least not to me. I can disagree with a law while also agreeing to obey it and that those who break it should have consequences. I can hold these two opposing ideas because that is the basis by which governments funct

Some of the comments here (and lately on HN in general) are very concerning to me. Are we really going to pretend that people accused of real crimes shouldn’t be arrested, charged and, if found guilty, have an appropriate sentence? It doesn

Indeed. It reminds me of Lewis’ That Hideous Strength in a way. If we take the severed head post-brain-death and pump it with blood and oxygen and feed it impulses so that the mouth moves to form the words we tell it, is the person living

This. Much of the most prevalent messaging on both the extreme left and the extreme right tends to be from other countries posing as Americans. It’s also difficult to even form opinions lately as the amount of lying by all outlets is nearly

You can still have a step that requires a certain user/group to sign off, and you can still enforce that those users have MFA set up. Almost any serious shop that expects to pass audits already does this in some form or fashion before

How is it we've made it this far and we still don't have any kind of independent auditing of basic publish security on NPM? You'd think this would be collectively a trivial and high priority task (to ensure that all publishes

Can we get a non-AI-generated article for this? I think the aikido one might be fine, but if there’s a more official source let’s use that in lieu of this AI nonsense.

The only thing sadder than AI-generated comments on human articles is human comments on AI-generated articles.

It’s quite possible (likely, even) for there to be more bugs reported than Apple has capacity to investigate. I assume this is just a filter they use to get the queue down to a more reasonable size and remove bug reports that are especially
