> Is this a bad thing?

Thread argues that modern chicken is less tasty:

> Modern chicken is notorious for being "dry, "bland," and "flavorless." Contrast this to the 1960s, where chicken was considered a delicacy. "Chicken should be so good in itself that it is an absolute delight to eat as a perfectly plain, butter roast, saute or grill."

Thread also argues that fat profile is out-of-whack due to modern chickens being fed diets that are different from what they ate in nature:

> Conventional Grain-Fed birds have an Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio that can be as high as 17:1. Contrast this to a pasture-raised chicken, which has an Omega 6 to Omega-3 ratio of 6:1.

I haven't heard of this ratio before. Supposedly a smaller ratio between the 2 types of fat is healthier.
A price that changed monthly might be manageable, but daily or is probably too much for most consumers to keep up with.
In what way is an NFT token like a stock? A stock is bound to a company via dividends and voting power. An NFT only bears a name.
Good points. That’s probably a less complicated way of getting to the same result.

I don't know why you're being down-voted for this. I wanted to stretch it further, to "there are still good [pick your choice] in there, see? no problem, move along" as a ridiculous apology that may pop up even if 99% would be in fact bad/corrupt!
So how does this play into "metadata" phone tracking by the NSA? And Stingrays? AFAIK, those report positions.
I've done this for years, even working on homework in my college cafeteria or other public space. It's actually an interesting social phenomenon: if I'm sitting at a table surrounded by textbooks, notes, and my laptop, people have absolutely no problem coming up and starting a conversation; if I'm sitting at an empty table with nothing but a plate of food in front of me, but with headphones in, not a soul will disturb me.

To which I say: Good for you!

There are many reasons. Here is one:

It would be agnostic of how far the game has progressed (if 1. …c5 is a good reply to 1. e4, it also would be considered a good reply to 75. e4)

It would also be used in end games.
Your font styling is more pleasant, too.
No, I think there's some fallacies there:

* It's not a "game console" by definition. It's a box with semiconductors inside it which I can purchase for a few hundred bucks at any of many local stores. These semiconductors are equally well-suited for doing vector calculations in support of many applications, frivolous and serious alike.

* It's simply a mistake to think by not "supporting OtherOS" it will significantly reduce the "risk of new cheats" in anything but the very short term. OtherOS is happening whether it's supported or not. That's probably true of cheating too.

* But that's not even what Sony did though, Sony actively removed OtherOS from units people had previously purchased, and only then _after_ it had already provided its (relatively small) boost to hackers.

The idea of keeping secrets locked in a box that millions of people purchase and physically control is simply ludicrous and has failed every time it's been tried.
41/58 countries with universal healthcare are in the developed world.

84/100 mega-cites are in the third world.

I don't know how this could confuse you but feel free to google inductive reasoning.
The key for this to be possible is a big reduction in the cost of living. Robots,automation and other tech , combined with the right regulations, could possible reduce cost of living by 80%-90%. Under those assumptions, won't basic income become possible ?
I mean, liquid asset vs variable and tied up asset?

I'll be the first to admit to being fiscally conservative: money I can't spend and that is sunk into something else does not guarantee that I get my money back.

I'm losing money on the savings I have every year, which is why I put nearly all my savings into a fund, but then that fund dropped in value almost immediately by 30%, if I had done nothing with my money and bought a top of the line MacBook Pro with 64G of ram, I would have more "money" than I have today; but it all depends on what the value is when I sell out of the fund, there's no guarantee that I'll even get what it currently says I "have" back either.

Savings and investments are different things.

Very true https://i3wm.org/. I3 is a great WM that allows you to avoid having to use the mouse.

That said I now work in the Windows world. I find that if you are using the same tools day in day out then the keyboard is the way to go. If you have to use new tools every other week the GUI is hands down much better. Unfortunately in my role I'm doing exactly that.
American culture changed so so much on 2001/09/11. It's like the attack (and the government's response) snuffed out our optimism, spirit, and humor.
This is all wrong. Focusing on “gaps” doesn’t make any sense. The upper middle class has greatly expanded over the last 50 years (from essentially not existing to making up 30% of the population today). The lower class has shrunk. Yes there is more variance in the middle class and upper middle class but the middle class is absolutely mobile into the upper middle class while impoverished people basically don’t exist anymore.

Appalachia in the 60’s is a whole lot different than today.

The blue collar middle class life is absolutely accessible. But you have to get up on time and do a job. Skilled trades have a huge labor shortage. Factories struggle to hire while offering good wages. Because you need to reliably show up sober and be willing to work. I have numerous friends that supervise modern factories (these are not repetitive widget jobs - they train you abd you have a growth arc) and they are constantly short labor while offering good pay and benefits. It’s hard to find responsible people that want this work - an elite over production of responsible people via universities I think.

Same with skilled trade - plumbers, etc. a huge shortage today. Prices are insane to contract these people, the market clearly indicating we need to allocate there.

There’s a good middle class life out there if you’re willing to accept it. Capital works.
I literally do all of these on the command line except for using a calendar. Using a GUI is fiddly and terrible.

Which isn't to say everyone needs to feel like I do. But some people at least will strongly disagree that the GUI is easier.

Sounds like a lot of compromises in daily usage just to be able to run Linux. I'd much rather put up with OSX, which i find is a rather compelling development platform but also has it's shortcomings of course.
Well of course no one is going to say "she will fail because she's a woman". Bigots have learned to be a little more subtle than that. They would just criticize her strategy, while the same strategy from a male wouldn't draw the same criticism.

I'm not saying that is what is happening here or that Mayer's strategy shouldn't be questioned, just responding to the "no one said 'because she's a woman' so it can't be sexism"
I've been thinking about this for a while. Let's say that the USD is indeed 40% devalued and the market melted up significantly as a result of this -- does this not make "value" stocks a massive bargain? That is, if something was at a PE of 10 before the money printing, has maintained reasonable fundamentals, and remains at a PE of 10, isn't it stunningly undervalued if the same money printing is used to justify "growth" stock rallies?
Hi, rethinkscape member here. This is superold news! We just wanted to bring back the nice landing for that experiment now we have launched Penpot. Wow, that escalated quickly (into HN). After that project, we approached Inkscape team and shared our work. They were truly enthusiastic about this but they had a ton of work still as top priority towards 1.0. That's fine, we use inkscape as one our everyday SVG tools at Kaleidos and Penpot.
Scotland needs independence, badly.

There are differences of opinion on what is the cause and the effect [1]. There were deeper reasons for the deflation and by cutting production and preventing deflation, it made it much more difficult for small businesses and individuals to buy food or continue business. That benefited large corporations at the expense of the smaller ones. The government taxed the poor, then subsidized farmers to stop producing, which made the food more expensive which further hobbled the poor.

The Fed benefits banks and the wealthy. Inflation and increasing money supply makes labor cheaper for businesses and hurts those on fixed salary or wage by decreasing the real value of wages over time.

>I’m not sure how to proceed. The notion that one could print money and have each currency unit correspond to the same amount of physical goods is prima facie false.

The entire problem is that it's not false at all. There are various ways to produce more physical goods without employing more domestic workers. Every time the fed is printing money that money gets invested in a way that does not result in decreased unemployment. It's being used to produce more physical goods which keeps the price of physical goods constant.

Ultimately the only truly scarce "good" is labor. Everything derives from it. If prices are not rising that means labor is not scare at all, which is idiotic because there are lots of ways to productively deploy that labor.
My recent "LinkedIn is annoying" story:

I rarely ever log in to LinkedIn, but do have their app on my phone (which I also rarely use). And I always ignore whatever stupid notifications it triggers (it seems they are almost as needy as Facebook). About a month ago, this LinkedIn notification pops up on my phone:

"Ding! You're distracted (again). Here are tips for staying focused."

I'm not distracted. I'm using my phone. And interrupting what I'm doing to tell me I'm distracted is...impressively oblivious.
Well, I don't see anywhere in the article that flags it as an opinion piece.

The reporter has a right to his opinion. The jury has a right to theirs. We have a right to ours.

None of that excuses opinion journalism masquerading as journalism.
> Not sure on this but a few parts of this case are out of the ordinary like the jury asking questions during the case.

AFAIK, jurors asking questions (or, at least, proposing questions which are reviewed by the counsel and actually asked by the judge) is not out of the ordinary anymore in trial courts in California. Certainly the criminal case I served on a jury for included that.

Most of the sources I can find on it are somewhat old (around 2000) and indicate that it was then not legally mandated to be allowed, and that a minority of judges did it but it was growing in popularity (they also indicate that even then, it was mandated in some states that jurors be permitted to submit questions.) It may still not be a majority practice, but I've seen it frequently referenced in news reports of cases, so I don't think its particularly unusual anymore.
Not exactly a new idea. What is you prime distinguishing feature? Have you reviewed the other hundreds of Apps with similar claims to be sure you are actually filling a need? Like, say, Garage Band (for a high profile freebie and highly polished example with similar claims)?

Good luck!
You can't wake someone up who is only pretending to be asleep.
> What! And how can you say the behaviors in the video is inconclusive proof of voter fraud!?! Or at least suggest voter fraud?!

Yeah, when votes are stored on digital media, an apparent attempt to surreptitiously remove a thumb drive from a place where votes are counted suggests an attempt at compromising the election.

> So... this lady, who looks like her job is to sit there and count mail ballots, also has access to the voting machines (which is nowhere to be seen near her in the video), and is allowed to have custody of the results for who knows how long, while she does other work? These assumptions would mean such lax security, that then sure, rampant voter fraud is possible.

Those aren't really necessary assumptions but I'm glad you can see how its evident that its possible to have enough voter fraud to affect results.

> Next you and the entire fraud-founding Internet commenters will want to see the security procedures of the whole voting operation and that are to your satisfaction.

Yes that's what we want, any guesses on whether any of this will be better next time?

> (in which case, as a supporter of a US government based on sanity rather than nutjob conspiracy theories, I would be worried that rampant and easy voter fraud benefiting Republicans happened)

You should probably decouple your vote fraud concerns from your partisan concerns because comments like this suggest that vote fraud is worse when it benefits one party than the other and that's not the case. Vote fraud is bad because it violates the integrity of the election and because it threatens the legitimacy of the government.

> but don't you think there would have been Republican party officials who have actually reviewed said procedures and who would've said "Hey, why are you letting random people have custody of the digital results?".

The point of the sleight of hand is to remove the drive without the chain of custody documents reflecting that fact. A review of the procedure wouldn't show the conduct displayed in the video, that's the point.
I fully support the efforts to impeach President Trump, if for no other reason than to prevent him from being able to run again. I also support Twitter's right to kick him off their platform.

That said; it seems a stretch to me to permanently delete his account based on the two tweets they cite. They're about to break their necks trying to find problems in those two tweets when they have a smorgasbord of inflammatory tweets over the years to pick from. Saying he won't attend the inauguration was the final straw? It really seems disingenuous on their part.

I would respect them far more if they had said, "You know what? Our decision to reinstate his account after twelve hours was a mistake. Donald Trump is clearly harmful to our republic and we will no longer give him a voice on our platform. His account is therefore permanently suspended."
They didn’t want to lose his audience to a competitor more than they wanted to ban him. It’s not political backing, it’s preferring money over morals.
Elon's latest appearance on Joe Rogan was really interesting - and he specifically says that the manufacture and production is the hardest part - and that they are still learning.

They are building the CyberTruck factory in Austin TX next to the Airport.

He also says that the X is the best model - however, the S is his personal car and his favorite.

Roubini, obviously.
I pray to the day were privacy is reclaimed. Big Tech has abused us for long enough. You cannot enforce slavery through terms of service, You also should not be able to own all private information of someone through terms of service.
For months Trump has asserted that mail-in voting is intrinsically insecure and fraudulent. He's also been parroting baseless lies and conspiracy theories about the election. Telling his supporters their vote is being suppressed by all the parties that refuse to go along with his insane demands. These parties include: state and federal governments, private companies that build voting machines, poll workers, Republican secretaries of state, state and federal courts, a complicit press, and now even the vice president.

If you believe what Trump says then you must believe that the entire system of democratic representation has broken down. Under this mindset it makes sense to resort to violent action and storm the capitol - what other recourse do you have? That's why rioters left a "WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN" note on Pelosi's desk. And when Trump says the loves and supports the rioters, that's the mindset he's reinforcing and encouraging.

When Trump says everyone should go home - why should we treat that statement as normative? When virtually everything else this man has said agitates and encourages insurrection, why should we glom onto this one positive statement?

> The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.

The account bans are not just because of this one video considered in isolation. The bans are happening because of the systematic anti-democratic and seditious behavior of the president and his campaign.
Network effect is pretty strong and although these platforms can easily be replicated, it's just not easy to get masses to adopt a new platform. I'm afraid that just like the traditional news media this could lead to a society where these companies could decide what people get to see and read.
Spending insane amounts of money on a clump of carbon molecules to declare your love seems to me extremely wasteful. If your s.o. really needs a display of conspicuous consumption over spending your - now joint - funds carefully and wisely you might want to talk it over. Easy come easy go, if you have money left over to throw it out more power to you but most people are not in a position to throw away money like this.

Congratulations to the DeBeers marketing department, they've done an excellent job of making people believe this sort of stuff is needed.
it was a joke, but i was refering to the news website
Agreed.

It also becomes tricky when you need to interoperate or integrate with companies that have chosen to use either GSuite or LibreOffice rather than O365.

With that said, I'm glad these alternatives exist even though they're never going to work for me.
That's not the job of the government to regulate margins of businesses. If you go by that way, then you might as well regulate every margin of every app store?
Interesting idea. First issue that I thought of: People will create fake profiles to rake in all the money from admirers. Or, if the profiles are genuine, the app quickly becomes a cam/chat site because why would you ever go on a date if you could get paid for just being there and chatting with admirers.
Ctrl-f taxes: 0

This might be under "how the world works" but I think there should be a separate "how to be a reasonable citizen" like how to deal with taxes, voting, civics in general, that kinda stuff. It has a pretty big impact on day-to-day life.
Great question. There doesn't seem to be a platform specific concept similar to "Certified Employee Owned" [1], but you might consider getting in touch with Certified EO to see if they would develop one.

I too would be interested in using only non-exploitive platforms, bonus if it cuts the legs out from underneath the traditional VC funded platforms.

Or is it new tech for the sake of new tech?
> Except then you can't eat?

In an era of record low unemployment (in the US at least), claiming that it's "Uber at low wages or you don't eat" is kind of a ridiculous hyperbole.
We're not that lucky in the UK. They came, they might go, and the traditionals will stay the same.
It is impossible to follow those rules if you have any form of user-submitted content. Even if you have a TOS that gives you some rights to their content, you can't guarantee a user doesn't post something of someone else's.

Amazon's TOS is basically a private partial nullification of the DMCA and says that rather than having to take something copyrighted down once notified, you have to ensure it never gets put up there in the first place.

That is something you can't do, even if you manually screen everything before it is allowed to be posted (because there is no universal way to search for whether or not something is under copyright).
Unreviewed, yes. At least he read half of the books.

I don't much like Amazon dropping Wikileaks as a customer but so it goes. I still do business with them but there are some corporations that I don't. The larger issue is that empires in decline start acting strangely/poorly.

I had breakfast with several friends yesterday and we cover the political spectrum. We all agreed that our country (USA) is in a rapid state of decline. As individuals we all have our own strategies for coping with this.
No, they probably are struggling, because being an early stage startup engineer is a very, very bad deal. You will work as hard as the founders, and after a year or two the salary you gave up for stock options will equal at least the cash the founders put in themselves, and if it is a success, you will get 1% of 1% of what they do. People are beginning to realize this and demand market level wages or meaningful equity participation or both. What these companies and the VC firms backing them want is a new set of naive prospective early stage engineers...
But do you know of any examples of VCs investing in a team before knowing what the product will be? Maybe those examples exist and I'm ignorant of them.

By contrast, movie studios keep lots of people on staff or on rotating contracts, often with no idea of what the film will be. They hire people on the assumption that those people will figure out the idea.
You have a hard time at Amazon
This hasn't been the case for decades. Go look up how many Jews are in the Ivy Leagues now.
I don't think the correct reference is the honorable art of drag but, either reality TV (recall Trump's history on The Apprentice) or "keyfabe" from professional wrestling.

The link that went round about the analogies between QAnon and LARP also seems relevant here. If someone lives in and believes their own hype for long enough, have they created their own little bubble of reality?

It's like watching someone try to perform a coup with a foam sword and a Nerf gun. On the other hand, a lot of bank robberies are done with fake guns; so the question is, how much does the plausibility of realness matter? All a bit Baudrillard for my taste.
FWIW I think they've got QEMU baked in to docker desktop to emulate x86. But I've just been using a remote docker daemon.
It's hard to get networking functional inside DosBox, but works pretty well beyond that. I use this for some old Windows games (Castle of the Winds etc) and other nostalgiaware (Visual Basic, AmiPro etc). :)
Burning plastic to produce heat hardly counts as "recycling"...

Incidentally, in Japan, PET recycling is a very small minority of all plastic collected, so it hardly moves the mark even if that part is recycled in plastic-loving Japan.
