The entire Gospel is centered around salvation by faith in Christ, which of course is much older than 150 years.

Interesting that while Microsoft and now Google are building platforms that are de-emphasizing local hardware, Sony recognizes this as an opportunity to differentiate by focusing on how great their box is. Their was a passing reference to a "cloud strategy", but there hasn't been as much evidence as their competitors.

This will wind up making for the most interesting console generation since the 32/64 bit era, since the platform differences go beyond hardware specs and release date. M/G's platform/subscription approach seems to be more in line with where the world is going, but remains to be seen if the timing's right.

Depends on the quality and style of the PM, but a good one is worth their wait in gold. By coordinating the meetings, managing the dates, and keeping everyone accountable, it takes those burdens off other team members, letting them focus on the work.

Not at all, because the key distinction is what you are growing in. "Olympic class material" is very different from the spiritual growth in things like faith, love, peace that the Bible prescribes.

Because there aren't any self actualization themes in the Bible. The Bible is about fallen man, reconciliation with God, and what should be done in response. Cherry picking and twisting the parts that sound nice to fit with the cultural values du jour is ignoring the core message.

>The _exact_ same trick is practiced in many (traditional) Christian faiths

Unfortunately this is true, despite being complete heresy. One of the saddest things for an American Christian is how a huge portion of the church has diluted Christianity to an unbiblical set of self actualization themes.

Kind of curious that the author didn’t mention a primary motive of Roosevelt’s: making the case for entering the war. FDR had been trying to (rightly) sell it to a reluctant, isolationist public as a necessary evil. Thus emphasizing the loss of “American” life was critical, despite the fact that it may have been subject to a less inclusive view that the author would have preferred.

The data suggests otherwise.

For the major NY urban districts, the municipal and school district boundaries are essentially the same.

>My understanding is that a city boundary in the US is a big deal. The police force on either side can be completely different, things that can get you in a lot of trouble like gun laws can be different on either side, prices and taxes can be very different.

The biggest thing that changes is the school district. City schools tend to be worse than suburban counterparts, and that completely drives a cities ability to retain young families, thus altering the demographic makeup and tax base of the city.

The story in that game was an awful pastiche of 90s era action movies. No nuance or depth to any of the characters.

Having only browsed both Plotly and this project, this is my understanding:

Plotly seems like its just the charting/graphing layer. A common use case (and increasingly an expectation) is that a series of graphs on a single page be responsive and cross filterable. For instance, if you click on a single element on one chart, it should filter the related charts accordingly. Additionally, these filters should build on each other and the developer/analyst should be able to define that.

Really, you're now doing a form of data modelling and in the domain of BI, and Plotly isn't going to help you figure any of this out.

Tableau and Power BI have gotten traction by building products that not only include but prioritize this form of modelling. Once you define your data model, you get the multi dimensional charting for free.

The appeal to me of this library (not having done a thorough G2) is an open source alternative to those products that integrates charts and data modelling easily.

>As a consumer, this transition will be annoying to deal with, but as a resident, I'm proud of my state for pushing expansion of rural broadband where federal efforts have failed. Not sure how the transition will work though, as Spectrum/TWC own the cable infrastructure.

There isn't going to be a transition, at least not in the short term, as this will likely be tied up in the courts for some time, and probably settled.

At least in my corner of the US, a huge majority of prospective home owners would consider a non detached house to be markedly less desirable.

>Depends on whether you have lived in an advanced Western European country.

All of which enjoy the shadow of nuclear security provided by the United States.

>does not directly contribute to the work.

This is, in my experience, generally not the case.

Setting aside all the implicit indirect contributions (support, development, coaching, personality management, etcetera), managers generally shape work by deciding what work is going to be done, how to mobilize resources, communicating the results outside the team's domain, and being accountable for it. Those are direct, tangible contributions.

This sounds an awful lot like the lean/six sigma (lss) tool set that every company of a certain size and age has experience with. But that's not to invalidate the ideas here, as lss can unfortunately be prone to a cultish zealotry that mutates the original principles.

From Meathead at amazingribs.com:

Grease and oils get rancid, particularly in hot weather, and rancid grease on the grates can make your food taste bad. Rancid grease on the bottom of the grates can vaporize and flavor the food, too.

The black crust on the grates is mostly carbon. It tastes bad. In addition carbon insulates the grates and can stick to food. So it is vital that your food go on clean grates.

Parklife!

Costco would be almost 3 times the cost, using market cap as a basis.

"Designed by Apple in California"

To me this leads to a question about the Bay Area centric techno-spehere: at what point do the prices become so high that companies/ecosystems in other parts of the country become relatively attractive?

I understand that the SV network is a real and powerful thing, but holding all else equal (indulge me), wouldn't it make the cost of startups more attractive for all stakeholders if an alternative, viable network were in Buffalo or Nashville or Boise or wherever? Is it just a matter of lack of coalescence?

>Believe it or not that is how companies use to operate till recently. Most companies didn't even have guides/books/web pages on culture.

This is because whether or not a company acknowledges it, a culture does exist and whatever that culture looked like had real impact. I agree that companies often take it too far, and a company saying it's culture is one way doesn't mean that it's entirely accurate. But it's generally better to be explicit about your culture if you can be so that employees have realistic expectations.

This isn't true at all, coming from someone who's done this.

Not to mention that it is a couple living in the most expensive part of Canada making pretty basic yet big impact financial mistakes.

Despite the prevalent challenges and maladies afflicting the republic, calling the current state of affairs dystopian is hyperbole.

This article had one interesting idea: the role of government funding in innovation. But rather than explore and flesh it out, it settled for a series of overgeneralized and unsubstantiated polemics against capitalism, akin to a sophomore political science student who's just finished the manifesto for the first time.

I've seen this complaint several times, but personally have yet to see any comments attributing the disaster to Theranos's founder being a woman.

>This article mentions that had the US not entered World War I the likelihood of World War II happening was much lower.

This would have likely resulted in leaving Germany in a dominant European position. Over the course of modern history, the worst thing for European stability has been a dominant continental power.

WWII stemming from a humiliated Germany might not have happened, but it's difficult to say that a imposing, bellicose, and likely-equipped-with-a-bomb Germany would be a much better outcome.

It's also notable for Jesus's consistent affirmation of his own divinity. Not that the synoptics don't, but John is much more explicit about it. For me, that does much to validate CS Lewis's liar, lunatic, or Lord argument.
