Philosophy, unlike financial regulation, isn't generally forced on people.

Reply to the edit: the parent comment was making a joke (though maybe there is some depth to it) and your reply sounds like a rhetorical question by a spoilsport. Unfortunate!

ETA: it's a joke because the original saying is "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it"

Why does this post (2026) link to a wayback-machined page quoting an email (1996) saying >Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for around 1976

Three dates ending in 6... 666... What is this Satanic inception?

Can somebody recommend a layout for a programmer for a 54 key kyeboard?

The situation is really sticky, since allegedly fabs are anxious to ramp up production, fearing the AI bubble will burst and they will be left with useless stock. So the usual supply chasing demand doesn't apply here and we might wait for a really long time...

What I meant is that the author of Acts "borrows" themes from Josephus to create his story. You can check out this interview with prof. Steve Mason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvfPxFQCpCU

There is no mention of the 12 apostles except for IIRC 1 Cor 15 which is likely an interpolation. He mentions only James (bro of Jesus, curiously erased from history), Cephas (/Peter?) and John. And he doesn't use kind words about them...

Acts is fiction (likely based on the epistles and Josephus). There are 7 undisputed Pauline epistles (though a few scholars even believe none of them are real - most recently Nina Livesey). So his itinerary certainly wasn't as vast as depicted here (also, it's impossible). Itinerant preachers were supported by communities they preached to. Also, Paul is urging people to give money to his 'collection for the saints'. There is no word what happened to it (neither in Acts). Hmm...

I knew a person who worked in an important role in Optimus in the early days... I have a very different image of Roman Kluska.
