DISQUS

The petitioners believe that religious institutions should not be able to act on their moral beliefs. The idea that “you can have your beliefs, you just can’t live by them” is tyranny in the guise of “enlightenment.” Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody subscribes to the view that you can act on whatever moral beliefs you happen to have. We don't think that it is okay for sexists to act on their moral beliefs when doing so leads them to engage in sexist behavior. We don't think that it is okay for cannibals to act on their moral beliefs when doing so leads them to engage in cannibalism. You seem to think that it's wrong for a significant group of philosophers to act on their moral beliefs when that would involve their responding to discrimination against homosexuals. Maybe the philosophers are wrong, but don't pretend that they are doing something you aren't and don't pretend that they are doing something wrong just because they are saying that there are some beliefs you shouldn't act on.

Ah yes, maybe the title was a bit off. Sounds like a good post for the future though, thanks!

In the changeover no information was given about what had been done with Cincinnati other than it might be scheduled for Aug. 22-24.


Mostly I need contact from the lead organizer to figure out what was planned/going on. As far as I know we weren't pulling out because of In One Weekend. They are a separate event with a different format.

Be glad to have you organize if that time does free up. Let me know!

hah whoops! Good thing I can rely on my "I'm Canadian" defense for moments like these. No idea what I was thinking there.

No it's highest listed so just need contact form a local organizer to get things going! If there was previous scheduling it was probably with Ray and I did not get that information.

Indeed, research is a wonderful thing. I was not implying that no one is tapping this space, rather that in comparison to the consumer wave the development for enterprise pales.


Certainly the tech giants understand the trend and see value in development but their business cycles and hurdle rates can be limiting factors for internal development. I agree with Pete's post above and have had experience with internal 'web 2.0' developments for large corporations but feel that more could definitely be done.



The post was also meant as possible motivation for future weekend to assess enterprise problems as in the past most development has typically been consumer-centric.

Yea I totally agree, without the right people the venture will never succeed no matter how awesome the idea is. I guess the hard part is being able to search outside of your normal avenues for hiring.

I find the best way to give things up is to never start.
Unfortunately, I never knew I was addicted until it was to late.

speaking of loving llamas, they make the funniest sound when they mate, and puff their cheeks up, as the whole herd gathers around them. I kid you not.

looks fairly lovely to me. But then, all of that part of the world does.

now I'll be seeing gaps all day

Wow Deek, I am humbled by your deluge of advice. I will have to give you a link back.
