Ah, so you've never had well prepared tofu. That is an entirely understandable situation to be in; I was an adult before I'd eaten good tofu, even growing up in a city that had a reasonably large Asian population. It can be tricky to get it right (when preparing it at home, without a pro gas wok cooker, for most types of fried or sauteed tofu, draining, pressing, and then freezing it provides a nice texture and makes it easier to marinate effectively, as the freezing puts tiny holes in it).

As for price, I don't know. That's not been my experience. In the U.S., even small cities with limited options, it is never much more than $2/pound, which is, I believe, competitive with most meats, though it has been a long time since I've bought meat (I was regularly buying chicken for my dog a few years ago when she had cancer and had a poor appetite, and I seem to recall it was a couple bucks a pound). Asian markets are consistently the cheapest place to buy tofu, and often have fresh, locally made, tofu for good prices. At least that is true for much of the U.S. and Canada. Where do you live? Is there a "little China" or "Chinatown" in your city? That might be a place to go to check out your low priced tofu options.

Other vegan alternatives to meat include seitan (made from wheat gluten and costs about $3/pound to make using expensive organic wheat gluten and organic packaged vegetable broth...I've made it much cheaper than that) tempeh (expensive when packaged but can be made at home with all sorts of beans, including soy), and, of course just eating nuts, beans, lentils, etc. There doesn't have to be a slab of "meat" on the plate for a meal to be satisfying and delicious. I've gone years without buying tofu (only eating it when eating out, since it took me a while to figure out how to make it well), or eating any of the faux meats. There are plenty of vegans and vegetarians that don't eat tofu. I happen to really like it, especially now that I've learned a few ways to prepare it that are really tasty.

The logic is that public trust needs to be preserved for cops to do their jobs. If they are national spectacles than they are not going to be able to do the job the citizens who pay for government expect.

Its basically an alternate way of saying the police must be clean. Sadly, some politicians forget that in order to respect police we need to see them as non-corrupt. They just expect blind trust.

You are spreading some serious lies on this one

Fine, specifically cite the mistruth, with factual, objective refutation.
1) "The evidence, when viewed as a whole, does not support the conclusion that Wilson’s uses of deadly force were “objectively unreasonable” under the Supreme Court’s definition."

The definition is bullshit and absent objective evidence is far too heavily tilted toward officer discretion. If the officer "feels" their life or anyone in the communities life is threatened by an individual, they have the right to execute the suspect. That's an absolutely subjective metric to end someones life, and should bring pause to anyone with a basic measure of common sense and justice.
Thanks for this, it was very insightful.

That's nice, but my 5-year-old 802.11n WAP still has ~20x the bandwidth you can buy for any amount of money at my house. Faster WiFi is not particularly interesting for consumers unless they're also getting faster ISPs.
I hope you get one hell of a check. I do wonder if there is an actual device people can carry that can document your life during these incidents that automatically uploads in case it is "lost" or "broken" in the incident. It probably also needs to not look like a camera.
I have seen this before too, and I ask myself what impact it has on the life of the lamps.

I've been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the past 8 years and I sometimes joke that it's my church because it's very much the "third place" for me. The camaraderie has kept me coming back, it's great to train with a group of people you know and trust several times a week and help each other progress over months and years. I've met many of my friends at the gym, of whom several have since quit training, but we still keep in touch. I can see the appeal of Crossfit because it also taps into the camaraderie that people crave, as opposed to a traditional gym where you put in your headphones, zone out and never talk to anyone.

No, the definition isn't bullshit and is not absent object evidence. The DoJ was looking to convict him, and instead found he acted like any other police officer when a thug attacks him.

The report about the police department as whole is damning and shows some serious systemic problems, but the officer acted properly in the specific incident.

But, hey forget about actual heinous acts so you can go with the narrative.
>The reason CrossFit is better - for me

Glad it works for you.

> CrossFit is like group personal training, not a cult.

This is relative.

> The trainer is very good and there is a big focus on safety and avoiding injury.

This is also relative and a bigger problem. Crossfit pushes profit motives over competence.

Living in Santa Cruz, ground zero for Crossfit, the over zealousness of opening gyms, inconsistency of quality, etc. is pretty prominent.

You find the routine that works for you. For me, Crossfit reminds me of Bikram Yoga, the business/franchise aspect takes precedent over quality.

Myself, I've seen similar in yoga and martial arts. But, if you find a program that works for you, that is all that should matter.

> While riding a motorcycle for 100 kilometers is 10 micromorts, and is slightly more dangerous.

Which country? Time of day? How are the roads, traffic? Did you consume any alcohol recently? In what condition is your motorcycle? Are you wide awake? Are you wearing the proper gear?

I may be picking nits but interpreting stats the way OP does does not seem to align well with the micromort minimization goal.
Udemy always seemed questionable with some of their course titles. Lots of 'How to make money easily doing X' and other extremely clickbait-y names.

Now it's actually proven they don't give a shit what's happening on their 'platform' and have a frankly absurd response to copyright claims. Given how quickly Youtube will block a video given a content claim, it seems any sort of legal action against Udemy will bring their house of cards down extremely quickly.
In the rush to replace all incandescents with CFLs, no one seemed to care about the poor quality of light we now live and work under. Fluorescent lighting ruins my once-beautiful university campus at night, makes my parents house dreary and grim, etc. I hope some day we'll realize that the energy cost savings weren't free and pay some attention to the effect lighting has on our spaces and, correspondingly, our moods when we inhabit them.
Awesome comment. Thanks!

Now this is a nice thing to believe - the only companies that hire women are the good companies. I assume they're good by virtue of hiring women. So, company + hires women + pays them well => good company, good company => does well on the market. I don't think it stands to scrutiny. I'm not sure if you mean that those companies are morally good, therefore successful on the market (generally, the reverse is true), so I'll ignore this point, but I propose another interpretation:

The companies that hire women are the ones that can afford it. Seems more likely, but it would imply that women are less capable than men in this field. Assuming this is not true, with less women than men in the industry, you should expect proportional amounts of them in both "bad" and "good" companies. It should average out to equal pay.

Since it's not virtue, and not good companies being charitable, I smell only one other likely explanation: maybe it's profitable for companies to hire women as programmers now? If it's not because of merit, then how could it be? Maybe it's because it is fashionable nowadays to go out of your way to make it good for women, and you risk PR flop if you don't? Here. I smell sexism.
Downvotes are probably because hardcore copyright-abusing tactics employed by the entertainment industry to save their outdated business models are not particularly popular 'round here. The fact that they exist does not mean one should use them.

I see the point you're making though (copyright violation by a for-profit company is just wrong, both morally and legally), and i upvoted to compensate.
Actually, that is not true at all, I don't know why you're saying that.

It's quite easy to set up a development environment with the build tools / dependencies you need: https://nixos.org/wiki/Development_Environments

Then you can run ./configure; make; etc; at will.

Or if you prefer, you can install build tools / dependencies in your profile with "nix-env", like in any normal distribution (but I don't think this is recommended).
LOL at people talking about CF being dangerous.
All HN articles are archived by punching them into IBM cards, which have an 80-character maximum.

But seriously, even 140 is arbitrary. One could ask, why have any limit at all? But given the ephemeral nature of individual postings, if you can't summarize within 80 characters, ask yourself if it's appropriate for the audience at all.
Is it just me, or anyone else getting annoyed by the social justice crowd's emotional manipulations?

I say manipulation, because the modus opporandi is to make us feel guilty that there aren't enough women in tech. Or minorities. Ot lgbtq or whatever.

And the SJW movement seems to be willing to use all tactics including to reframe open-source develop as something that should welcome more politics, just because one particular crowd inside OS is driven ideologically. (Richard Stallman and the free software foundation - forgetting that many people participate in OS for non-political reasons)

Then the article poses the all important question:

"Are all people truly free to participate in open source?"

I would say, clearly, anyone with a computer, Internet, that can teach hom/her self to code, and has something worthwhile to contribute can indeed.

I am not aware of github blocking signups from people based on race or gender.

If a particular project does not want your contribution, you simply fork it. Happens to me too, despite my white male privilege.

Then the article attempts to refute the conclusion that people are generally free to contribute to OS just by stating the stat:

"Between 2% and 10% of open source contributors are women. Statistics are not available for other marginalized populations, such as people of color, people with disabilities, or people on the LGBTQ spectrum, often because the surveys that track these demographics do not even ask such questions–another manifestation of the problem."

The author does not show causality between this stat and discrimination, just infers it. Must be because we all hate women despite havinf mothers, sisters, wives, woman friends...

Finally saying in the above quoted paragraph that not quizzing people about their orientation and race, is part of thr problem!!!!

For real.

I thought not caring and not identifying people by their race or orientation would be a cornerstone of freedom and equility in the world of open-source where you can contribute under any moniker of your choosing.

Is it just me?
Well, the word nerd (and geek) used to mean someone who you'd expect to be better in their domain than your average college degree holder, so me having to defend nerds only shows we've already reversed the meaning.
Udemy's getting absolutely slammed today on HN. I wonder if they're paying attention.
I get the feeling some of these are staged, or not actual work... e.g the guy on the tank, the guy on the lawn and the person on the brick fence post.

Im not suggesting that it's impossible to work from very odd places - I've done some sysadmin tasks via SSH from an iPad Mini while on a beach in Thailand. I'm just suggesting that posing like this for a 'funny' photograph seems pretty obvious and detracts from what could be actually interesting scenarios.
dang has stated recently (and I would expect a corresponding update to the Guidelines page eventually) that terse or otherwise inadequate titles warrant enhancement for clarity (not to clickbait or unnecessarily dupe). Dupe recognition that doesn't rely purely on title is inevitable.
I'm pretty sure that the point here is order of magnitude, not differences after the comma.
> "statistically speaking, most computers in the world do not use ECC". How can both of these things be true?

... most computers aren't particularly reliable.

I'm curious - are you not monitoring or at least keeping a vague eye on ECC correction events with your existing hardware? If so, are you just not seeing any?

I've never really operated at any sort of "large" scale - a handful of racks at most - but I've always found correction events to be about as routine as IO errors, and certainly way more common than outright disk failures.
Many points in the article that I personally find to be out of line.

FTA: Are all people truly free to participate in open source? Between 2% and 10% of open source contributors are women. Statistics are not available for other marginalized populations, such as people of color, people with disabilities, or people on the LGBTQ spectrum, often because the surveys that track these demographics do not even ask such questions–another manifestation of the problem.

One of the concepts of open source that I find most beautiful is, open source doesn't owe anyone anything. It exists at the pleasure of those willing to contribute. It is freely forkable and not beholden to central authority. It is perhaps one of the best examples of free association.

Further, the fruits of open source have made technology more accessible than ever before or otherwise might be. Open source by its nature enables social justice, not the other way around.

> I think it's a BS argument anyway because the average consumer, given two bags of apples that look identical, is going to buy the one that is cheaper.

Yeah, I agree.

> And if for some reason the public decided to never touch GMOs, then so be it. Food manufacturers can make their products in a way that consumers want to buy them. That's a free market. Not being shady and hiding information.

So they do, and that's why we have organic food industry, which is even more shady than the original one. The reason we have this argument is that looking at why public decided to never touch GMOs makes one facepalm. It's mostly pseudo-science wrapped in FUD, perpetuated ad nauseam in popular press - creating fear and then playing off it. It's good for making money selling articles or ad views. It's not good for making this planet a better place for everyone.

Public trust is essential for law enforcement to function efficiently. Trust in the legitimacy of government and other members of society is inversely correlated with crime and corruption.

This is not to say that trust causes lower crime rates, but when agents of the government behave in ways that break trust and jeopardize the legitimacy of their station, the public is less willing to cooperate and more likely to operate outside of the system of law. Therefore, what is essential is that law enforcement act in ways that preserves trust, especially when the eyes of the nation are upon them. Trust and government behaviour form a feedback loop, such that if either one is maligned, it can disturb the stability of the entire system.

I agree citizens are what matter, and that no government agency should be legitimized merely by its own existence. However, I do believe that the enforcement of the law leads to more optimal societal configurations than the Nash equilibrium. I'm not arguing for the preservation of a corrupt and self-serving government agency, I'm arguing that an institution which behaves in a manner that the public can trust will lead to greater utility for society.
I understand that "copyright abuse" is frowned upon. (and I'm not arguing against you, I just find what they're doing to be completely unreasonable).

But this is the exact opposite. This is a company flagrantly copying someones work without permissions.

IIRC, you could be thrown out of school for plagiarism, we shouldn't disregard an academic institution doing this exact thing.
One of the analogies i gave to the kids was that why did man have to learn to travel by water. Because walking on land wouldn't get them to the other island. Complex numbers sometimes sometimes are used to get to islands that aren't accessible from working with regular numbers. I was obviously referring to finding roots to cubic equations using complex numbers. Using complex numbers is in some cases like walking on water :-). These are not exact but they make kids excited. The fact that Math is replete with hacks just like real world is something that needs to be made more vivid and interesting
