Are there decent studies that show that vegetarians are healthier and live longer? I've seen nothing but anecdotes. And my own anecdotal evidence is the opposite. But I'm comparing healthy vegetarians I know to healthy meat eaters I know. The vegs spend a lot of time and effort to get enough balance in their diets to remain healthy, but they still seem a little weaker and a bit puny compared to the healthy meat eaters. And a few people I know who are into ketogenic diets eat lots of meat while avoiding carb rich foods and they seem the strongest of the bunch. Everybody says their blood work is good, no cholesterol issues, etc.
It could be argued that our limited resources should go into preventing existing species from going extinct (and saving their ecosystems) rather than bringing back ones that are gone. And given the crisis situation we're in it's not an academic question:

Meteor is not tied to any single front end technology, nor is it a front end technology. It has an optional templating system, but lots of people are using react now instead.

I've taken a lot of uber rides and have never met a driver who was planning on doing it long term - it was a stop gap measure for them till they got a better job.

So what happens when those people who have uber ready cars get other jobs? Seems like a stiff barrier to entry for new drivers - having a nice car that is.

The only supplement required on a vegan diet is B12. Vegetarians don't even need that. The key is to eat a variety of plant-based foods, like our ancestors often did, rather than a lot of junk food. Doing that, studies show that plant-based diets are much more healthy. Protein is not an issue, since most Americans get way too much protein anyway, and there is tons of protein in veg, grains, and beans.
Your argument presupposes that we actually know something to be true before ever looking at the data. If you have the data and refuse to look at it because you think you already know what it says that is not science, that is dogma.

Look up the "China study" for an incredibly detailed study on plant-based diets, or the research that's been done on the "Blue Zones." In addition there have been quite a number of studies on diet that show people who follow plant-based diets live longer and have fewer health problems. Being vegetarian doesn't require a lot of effort if you learn a little bit more than the average American about food. Eating fruit, veg, grains, and beans is not difficult and provides all the nutrients one could need - even more, considering how unhealthy the standard American diet (SAD) is. Look up vegan body builders - you will see that they are not puny at all!
You believe that HTML won't be deprecated by 2040, but JS will? You also believe archive.org won't make an effort to store JS files within that timeframe?

The reality is that the modern web depends on JS, and the argument of deprecation won't change that anytime soon. We're moving forward, not backward.

On a technical note, there is quite some effort in rendering React/Angular apps on the server in case it's serving an outdated browser.

Edit: just realized that of course storing JS files isn't the solution to archive.org's challenge, it's storing server responses.
I'm wondering what's wrong with the way OpenRC's start-stop-daemon works. It either:

* forks a child to run a foreground task

or

* starts a self-daemonizing service

then waits for a user-configured period of time to make sure that the child or daemon is still around before declaring success.

OpenRC also provides programs to mark a service as started-but-inactive, and -I think [0]- was-inactive-but-is-now-fully-started [1]. This lets you avoid blocking system start with daemon that might take a while to initialize, or handle a daemon that might flap in and out of availability, or handle "Is it actually started" logic for daemons for which the answer to that question is pretty complex.

Daemons that require a given service to be started will wait to start until that service is no longer in the "inactive" state.

Edit: OpenRC can be configured to start a cgroup for a given service, and -presumably- kill all tasks in that cgroup on exit; mooting the problem of incorrectly marking a service as "failed".

[0] The documentation for this state is at odds with the state name. Regardless, the state is just a label for a particular service, so it seems reasonable to believe the state name rather than the manpage.

[1] Among several other states. See the BUILTINS section of openrc-run(8) for more info.

My feeling is that the current model adds liquidity to the internet. Paywall sites are annoying now as it is, I get frustrated when I click an interesting title and can't read the article. I really don't see how not being able to access huge swaths of the internet without managing your subscriptions is better than just having ads on the screen. Ads mean you just don't need to worry about it.

I remember seeing tons of this image (tiered internet: http://www.gacetadigital.com/wp-content/2010/12/TieredIntern...) used to scare people about net neutrality and yet this seems to be what a lot of these proposals boil down to.

The other ideas are nice, but they just add to the cost of monetizing your content. The advantage of ad networks was not having to spend time negotiating advertising or finding a vendor for shirts.

I think there is a compromise version of an ad-blocker that just freezes all animation -- that seems to be the biggest complaint that can be reasonably addressed. Privacy can be addressed by targeting ads based on the content of the page and possibly proxying the ad content through that server so the ad network never gets the request directly from a client. Since most ads only pay for a click instead of a view anyway I think confirming an ad loaded is becoming less of an issue from the other side.

In looking into who MLH were, I found their comments on the event:
http://news.mlh.io/when-jokes-go-too-far-09-19-2015

In honesty, I completely agree with the actions of MLH in the expulsion. It is their event to run, and they have final say in the kind of discourse they accept from the attendees. It was obviously a joke, but obviously also distasteful so whether the decision was overly punitive is really the only debate.

If I were the author, I wouldn't write about what transpired. There is nothing to gain by taking it publicly and now there is an easy to locate record of your mistake for future event organisers and employers. Should just let it rest.

Edit: To clarify why I find it is distasteful — In context of recent events this is just a poorly and honestly unfunny joke. But the point isn't whether it was a joke though, the point is that universities have a long history of being the centre of vicious and deplorable acts of violence, mass violence. In the context of the university environment, I can see how jokes like this are unsettling and reminiscent of real social media posts that often precede real attacks that maim or kill real people. The authors insensitivity to this is what I find shortsighted.
I'm really interested in trying it. I'm familiar with fake meat products like Smart Dogs and the fake chicken nuggets - put ketchup on those and you can't tell the difference. There also a soy-based taco "meat," I believe from Fantastic Worlds foods, that is incredible. I use my husband as a test since he eats meat and he prefers many of these products to the real thing.

It seems ominous if you regard telephone, radio transmission, and the internet as three different things. The pattern appears to be that an innovation lands and is then co-opted by pre-existing powers, who find ways to cause its open nature to be less attractive and instead morph it into something closed and read-only.

However, if you view these things (and many others) are part of the same progression of the human species, things look quite a bit brighter.

This is the wrong direction. What users want are unobtrusive ads and what content creators want is to get paid. Apple and Facebook are trying to take advantage of this by pushing users to their AOL-esque walled gardens. We need a browser standard for built-in unobtrusive ads or payments so content creators can get paid and users don't get stuck with AOL 2.0.

In the power system there are plants with different roles. Some of them will be taking care of balancing the power system and others will be mostly running at capacity. Both tasks provide value.

That's the point.
I don't think that's necessarily the natural direction- as you say, it's just that more powerful players are, in the case of the Internet, now able to push their influence until it results in a monopoly over information. What we are seeing is a result of the failure of our systems- I still believe that open standards will tend to trump closed platforms over time, if they are allowed to.

Even as a serious lover of Node, I agree with you. It's obviously more work, but I don't see why they couldn't support both Ruby and Javascript, leaving the choice to the user as to which they're more comfortable using. Perhaps in the process they could open up the possibility of support for other languages.
That's all true, and there's no reason why Wordpress couldn't continue to service the users who want a simple solution for setting up a website ... But that doesn't preclude creating a new solution for professionals setting up websites for other people that's based around modern techniques and languages.

The fact that Wordpress is used by developers setting up a CMS and being paid thousands of dollars for it is what could be improved upon.

> And no, I'm not going to read a few thousands words because you're unable to make your point yourself.

This is ridiculous. Not every matter of conversation - especially one so enormous as "what is the nature of law?" can be answered in an HN thread.

There's nothing wrong with reading a few thousand words of a crucial essay to educate yourself. That's what you need to do to be able to think clearly about big topics.

Reading the law will only just get you started. It makes sense to read The Federalist Papers, The Communist Manifesto, The Republic, and many other cornerstones of thinking about this instead of demanding that someone distill thousands of years of thought into a HN comment.

> My point is fact, and stands:

It isn't and doesn't. I asked you a simple question in my last comment that you haven't answered that, for your purposes, may well "make my point": What about a situation in which two different entities both claim to be the legitimate government? Or a society in which large numbers of people regard a government as illegitimate? Or who regard particular laws as beyond a purview which they recognize for government?

What then is "the law?" How many different places to you need to look to find this one law?
I don't think unions are going to cut it this time round. The problem is that there is too much labour competition in the first place.

It's probably more fruitful to look into the whole "I file taxes as a contractor and get no benefits but I am effectively an employee" thing. I remember people on here complaining about that for a long time so it's a big enough issue that affects people in many job sectors.
I took this same route after trying to make a site with (an older version of) wordpress.

It could make for a good reality/docu tv show; drop 50 engineers and scientists on a large desert island with many resources, and task them to rebuild civilization. It would be interesting to see how long it will take to get the required work just for food acquisition low enough so that one could engage in the civilization building. It would also be interesting to see whether there are big shortcuts, things that don't have to be redone.

Oh another thought: In our modern civilization, we require a lot of materials that cannot be found in the wild. In order to get them, we need to do complex mining - but to do that, we need simpler mining -- to do that, we first need some tools -- do make those, we need more basic tools. I kind of wonder what the shortest chain/tree of prerequisite tools and materials is from the stone age, to, say, a modern cpu (to make it easier, let's assume availability of resources is not an issue).

(I feel these thought experiements were kinda spurred by the finale of Battlestar Galactica, at least in my circle of friends.)
Both San Francisco and New York also have weird dating scenes due to gender imbalance among singles (SF and NY have opposite imbalances). These imbalances tend to cause desperation among the excess supply / low demand gender, and unwillingness to settle in the excess demand / low supply gender.
I disagree. I think it's a completely just desire to share his perspective at the things that happened (It's not like there aren't tons of people that already know that he was the one to make the comment) and explain where the situation came from. His post seems to me to be clear and a fair description/analysis of the situations.

I have a silly question:

If the conspiracy theorists are right, the whole ad-blocking on ios is a ploy to get the ad-starved publishers, and thus the masses, off the web-based internet and onto in-app content silos such as Apple News.

If they're wildly successful, the only ones left on the traditional internet would be those not producing content for money.

I suspect this lawsuit will fail. If I were feeling more cynical I would say that plaintiffs' counsel knew that and filed it to intimidate some of the mirror sites into shutting down.

In Bartnicki v. Vopper, SCOTUS held that a radio station had a 1A right to distribute stolen property--an illegally wiretapped conversation. Because the recording came to the station over the transom, the station was not involved in the illegal wiretapping itself, just like the Ashley Madison mirror sites today.

On the other hand, the Bartnicki court recognized that there were "important interests to be considered on both sides" and pointedly did not consider "domestic gossip or other information of purely private concern." In that case the illegally intercepted conversation was of public concern.

If this ever goes to SCOTUS (unlikely) I suspect it will favor the 1A arguments because of the unique nature of Ashley Madison. It's not a dating site for singles, but a service for "discreet married dating," after all, which necessarily implicates the other person in a marriage. And the current SCOTUS is probably more 1A-protective than it was in 2001.

Also all the allegations lodged against the mirror sites could be lodged against news organizations that are reporting on the data dump and naming names. So the plaintiffs will have to persuade courts to invent a new theory of liability that sweeps in mirror sites but not news organizations, a non-trivial task. How about a news organization that publishes hundreds of names?
I concur, migrants are vulnerable.
