Because modern morality would reject the idea that an omnipotent being would need to torture someone to death to absolve humanity of the "sin" of acquiring knowledge of good and evil from actions they took prior to understanding the difference between good and evil. Whereas 2000 years ago that concept might have been more palatable.

Or that somehow it is acceptable to torture people for eternity for losing a guessing game you created. We have only 100 years to pick the right answer, should we make everything just and fair so it's easy to figure out there was a plan? Or give cancer to children?

Not to mention just torturing some dude to win a bet with Satan. Wait, isn't that a bet with one of the creations that doesn't have the free will? Isn't an omnipotent being actually above needing to prove things to the devil?

Either the Bible is a work of fiction embracing the morality of the era it was written in, or it's perfectly normal for an omnipotent being to create things with free will but flip out and do tortures or mass genocides when the free will is used incorrectly. Can you imagine how you'd perceive people acting out these stories today? "Hey boss, I need the day off, I'm hearing voices telling me to take my child up a mountain to kill him, so I'm going to do that."

I cannot explain that one TBH. It's fucking weird for a book to instruct us to sell our daughters. I have no idea why such an obviously immoral work is used as an authority when people value personal autonomy.

I'm sure you would want to know. So you can either: 1. create an environment for the child so they feel safe talking about it with you or 2. force everyone working at a school to out children who aren't ready with potentially hostile audiences just in case your child isn't comfortable discussing with you. Option 2. is pretty enticing, I guess, zero effort and all the benefit.

I think it is pretty clear where the downvotes are from. The position is basically, "it doesn't matter if another kid gets hurt, that won't happen to mine, and I'd want to know." In terms of setting policy I'd like school districts to instead consider what's best for the vast majority of (ideally all) children.

"Simply find the registry value and know to change it from 0 to 2 to turn off this specific recurring ad on your own machine." No thanks, I can actually just begin adless and remain adless with one simple trick.

Luckily I know they're not talking about me because there is only one computer and one big project.

Not to mention 3D threads will not be the right cross-section. It won't be face to face contact.

They will do that regardless.

I just wanted to make a joke about one of his many egregious crimes. I hope she takes everything he owns.

Is that legal? I mean, does she have the security clearance needed to repo that one?

Alright. I am also dismayed that it has taken so long for members of the government to call genocide by its name, we're aligned on that.

Let's not whatabout them. If she had been turning a blind eye to it I think their comments would be justified regardless of how trash the rest of Congress is or is not. This person is just flat-out wrong, though, she did not wait 5 months to say something.

You are not correct, but feel free to collect records and let us know why everything she said on the matter was inadequate. Start here, AFAICT her first remark is on Oct. 9: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media

Paywall at the end is some sociopathic behavior previously unknown to me. I have to respect the ingenuity of that, even though it is despicable.

Yeah! For example, if the language allows closures to capture state, they can act like properties on an instance.

Yes, completely expected that despite her calling for a ceasefire, you would find something objectionable that is also 100% disqualifying. Weird that what you chose is the condemnation of a terrorist attack but okay.

Customers would probably like if manufacturers include a unit that uses the standardized protocol, yes.

Are you not paying the manufacturer for the cellular service to run the climate control? That's nice but doesn't sound typical to me. I'd like to choose my own, or decline the cell service and have it only available from my wifi.

That stuff should be operable on a published and standardized protocol that third-party units can easily talk to. Put in your own little control box with cellular transceiver.

Yes. The headline definitely needs a "for now" to be accurate.

I think using both is normal. Closures and objects are duals of each other. Do whatever is understandable and maintainable, neither paradigm is magic.
