mats: isnt centralization what martin luther was going on about?
mats: gets even more watered down after protestant reformation since the last hundred years, unitarians and whatever
gregory5: Luther defined the church as merely an assembly of people who believe the same thing, as opposed to a mystical organism.
gregory5: in practice the Lutheran church was still hierarchical, but now it was run more like a company,
gregory5: with the Bible and the confessional documents (later assembled into the Book of Concord) serving as its constitution and bylaws.
gregory5: it should be mentioned, most of American Protestantism has very little connection with Luther.
gregory5: American Protestantism mainly comes from the Radical Reformation, and from John Calvin, and John Knox.
gregory5: dpb: was your church split off from another, or was it based on an ab-initio Scriptural reading (like Charles Taze Russell)?
gregory5: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-09-27#1059860 << the first page mentioned is quite interesting.

gregory5: "In accordance with the development of the industry, FGPAs are receiving more and more attention, and numerous fields such as
gregory5: 5G, mining machines, artificial intelligence, image-detection, and RISC-V, have all run into FPGA's shadow.
gregory5: The famous FPGA vendors are Xilinx, Altera, and Lattice. Among these, Xilinx is the "boss." Altera was acquired by Intel in 2015
gregory5: for 16.7 billion USD. Lattice has medium-low market-share. Within our country there are also many FPGA vendors including
gregory5: Guangdong Gaoyun, Shanghai Anlu, Xi'an Zhiduojing, and Shanghai Aogexin, but these are all in their early stages of
gregory5: development, and fall behind their international counterparts by some distance.
gregory5: The basic principles of FPGAs are not complicated. Their inner portion consists of some logical units and storage-units.
gregory5: Along with PLL and some IP. The logical units are connected through routing. Such combinations may give rise to any
gregory5: sort of complex logic. It is as displayed by the image below:"

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-09-29 04:25:00 gregory5: dpb: was your church split off from another, or was it based on an ab-initio Scriptural reading (like Charles Taze Russell)?
dpb: that is, the churches we can read about. I believe there have always been true believers and churches throughout history, but that they have been a minority small enough to be hidden from extra-Biblical history. God is causing this so that most people will not be saved, because He wants to make a show of them being destroyed in hell.

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-03-02 12:22:32 asciilifeform: ru writer alex rosov takes the thesis further -- he gives (fairly solid) argument that a decision was made (by bluebloods of 'civilized' world) in 1968 to halt technical progress. ( and, consequently, to nail sovok, because otherwise it'll eat'em, not having 'gotten the memo' that r&d must stop )
asciilifeform: lizards corrected their 'mistake'.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-03-02 12:23:39 asciilifeform: semiconductor 'escaped' (again per this cosmography) because a) underestimated and poorly understood by the 'deciders' b) required minimal insight, was pushable 'forward' by sheer 'chinese' plodding, as still (to an extent) happening

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-11 16:19:05 asciilifeform: gregory4: it was a hamstringing, jp never recovered, '5th gen computing' project vanished like a dream, 'sarariman for life' and the 'trad-family' it enabled -- mostly also vanish, and so forth
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-11 17:53:11 asciilifeform: very much sees modern jp as a country destroyed -- by the lizards -- with weapon of financialization. where suddenly somehow doesn't matter that your craftsmen polish $object for 5years and 'put soul' in it, all that matters is derivatives-fuckwaddery and pyramids of funny moneys
