This is false and serious FUD. There are a handful of vitamins/minerals that aren't found in meat-free diets (B12 is the big one) but they're all easily covered by fortified foods and/or taking a daily multivitamin. "Protein from animals" is absolutely not critical, and protein is found in all sorts of meatless sources. Nuts, leafy greens, etc.
Shocked because it seems obvious to me that this would have undesirable effects down the road. It also funnels even more money into banks because the net effect is that homeowners are essentially renting from banks for most of their lives until they get a significant windfall.

In the US, we saw what happens when you make getting a mortgage "easy". People bought more house than they could afford and got screwed.
Why did they create it? It's $40 - $99 a month for premium usage and has the potential to make tying in with other MS products like azure, easier. Seems like plenty of reason to me.

A dollar a day to every US citizen is $114 billion a year. At that expense I would think scaling it at all once it reaches universality is nearly impossible. Even if we're theoretically giving every $10k/yr, upping that to $10,365/yr still costs well over $100 billion.
> I don't trust the people organizing tech worker "solidarity" to actually protect everyone's free expression. History suggests that the solidarity effort is instead about further enforcing ideological rigidity.

It also doesn't particularly help when some of its prominent advocates are on the record stating that some intersections of gender and racial minorities are less important than others.
> In any case, complaining about having to pay capital gains tax on gains OVER $500k really is the ultimate first world, privileged problem.

Almost every complaint levied on this forum is a first world problem. Complaining about the ergonomics of a programming language is a first world problem. And secondly, he wasn't complaining, he was describing the economics of his choices. What is infinitely more toxic than 'complaining' about first world problems, is people jumping on explanations like the above as 'complaints' that need to be silenced.
A lot of cattle is raised on semi-arid land which is essentially left in it's natural state. The land can support sparse grasses and shrubs, but no agriculture without significant irrigation. Because there is so little vegetation development the area needed per head is huge, but it's fine because the land can't and won't be used for anything else. More to the point, humans don't need this extra land for food with our without eating meat.

There might be something to be said about limiting confined animal production fed with our most fertile crop land, but the same arguments aren't relevant for all cattle production.

From an ecological perspective, you're not losing wild nature for agriculture, cattle are just displacing grazing animals which would have been there otherwise.

This is addressed in the abstract of the paper:

> But ever since Pascal, the language aspect has been almost secondary to Wirth's work. Modula(-2) and Oberon both came out of larger system-level design projects that simultaneously also developed workstation computers, modular operating systems, and suites of innovative application programs. Unfortunately, these other important contributions were overshadowed by the programming languages they were associated with, and hence never received the recognition they deserved.

Oberon was both a programming language and an operating system implemented in that programming language. Much like LISP machines, the boundary between programming language and operating system is fuzzy.
> It doesn't answer all questions. For another example, we won't know how much the results will transfer to other countries.

We won't even be confident the results will transfer to the same country at some later time. Lots of things can change over time alone, let alone across populations.
But not six times. I mean, I have a 6x9 Fuji, and the images it makes are about 4 times as large as 35mm. And in any case, Holga/Diana cameras don't come anywhere close to that.
people will stop working or spend the money on some wasteful way

That's not really the argument. What does matter is where does the money come from. Cf

These hand­out incomes are to be given as "an absolute
constitutional right," and not to be withheld "under any
circumstances." This means that the
recipi­ents are to continue to get this in­come not only if
they absolutely re­fuse to seek or take a job, but if they
throw the handout money away at the races, or spend it on
prostitutes, on whiskey, cigarettes, marijuana, heroin, or
what not. They are to be given "sufficient to live in
dignity," and it is appar­ently to be no business of the
tax­payers if a recipient chooses none the less to live
without dignity, and to devote his guaranteed leisure to
gambling, dissipation, drunken­ness, debauchery, dope
addiction, or a life of crime

I'll help him out. Go watch a Norwegian documentary called Hjernevask (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjernevask). A comedian wonders aloud why, in the most gender-equal country in the world, women still prefer lower-paying jobs. Its success led Norway to shut down its Gender Studies Institute.

>If you want to improve salaries, you can do that via unionization and lobbying for guaranteed raises. That's a popular leftist approach. You can also do that by advocating for bonuses based on personal achievement or corporate profit. The left has generally been disinterested in that, and has indirectly opposed it by advocating for higher taxes on bonuses.

The reason they are disinterested in bonuses based upon personal achievement is because it is guaranteed to be used as a tool for favoritism and divide and rule, which ultimately just lowers worker compensation.

It will only work if the measure is objective, which is almost always impossible.

Some theories of UBI believe UBI may only work if it is taxable income. Those theories include some sort of assumption that the defining characteristic of a fiat currency is it's value to pay taxes, so the way to control (hyper-)inflation is continue to set the value of the currency in tax policy. From that perspective the taxable portion of the income becomes a "year long loan" and that loan amount is useful to set expectations (versus interest/inflation) on the value of the overall UBI.

Part of the European system is that you are admitted to a certain college and only to study a certain subject.

I got into my college ('university') to study computer science, and I had interview and tests to check aptitude for that specific subject, but I wouldn't have been admitted to study something like medicine or music instead as I wouldn't have had the aptitude for that.

When you go to college in the US does one of the departments have to say 'yes this person had aptitude for our major'? Is it possible to get into a college and then realise you don't have aptitude for any of the majors?
I would try turning off hardware acceleration in the settings. I was having a problem with stutter and jitter in previous versions and this helped with my issue.
Supposedly, 1Password 7 for Windows will bring back standalone vaults to Windows. Since the hosted solution brings them the bulk of their revenue (I'm guessing), it made sense to me for them to focus on the Windows upgrade with hosted accounts and I forgave them for it as long as 1Password 4 continued to work. I really hope that same attitude continues on with later versions of 1Password X. Starting out with accounts makes sense so long as they add standalone support later. I'm a patient person and beggars can't be choosers.

>This is why the U.S. intelligence budget of over $75 billion did not prevent most American’s personal details from being leaked

This was the one that most annoyed me. Why would you expect the US intelligence budget to be spent on security for private corporations?

Edit: > There is nothing the U.S. government can do to improve “cybersecurity” other than prosecuting criminal behavior.

Also ridiculous, there are many things the U.S. government could to to improve cybersecurity including apparently protecting equifax from itself.

What does the IRS prosecuting for tax evasion have to do with any of this?
Neither the article, nor your comment provide any substantial arguments, why the language itself should be perceived as a "jewel". All you have is just some references to inspiring success stories and an appeal to authority. What is cool about Oberon, really? (Apart your Wirth-fandom)
You can say that taking a preventive action helps against anything. (Cue "Minority Report" by Philip K Dick.)

The problem is that a preventive action usually hasn't been taken, but now, when a problem exists, they have something to do with it, and they can't.

They want a built-in backdoor exactly as a preventive measure, a bug.

The problem, of course, is that those breaking the law would still use the unbreakable version, the same way they use other illegal means, and the law-abiding majority will stay safely vulnerable.
Thank you.

It's frustrating that so many people talk as if the Byzantines had zero contact with Western Europe for a thousand years.

Hello? This is what composting is for - those materials could be turned back into the land, making for better producing land. This could make some of the pasture land that is no so great into better producing.
I'm really tired of hearing moralizing about people picking the wrong college major. Unless you have a crystal ball and can see four years into the future you're better off just studying something you care about; you've got a whole lifetime to do stuff you don't really want to do.
Former LastPass employee here. Looks to me like 1Password is going full LastPass. First fully hosted passwords. Now support for extension only (which is way worse security wise).

SaaS margins and recurring revenue is better, and I guess their previous model was killing 1Password.
Generally rational economics assumes someone who is rationally trying to optimizes for other factors.

You are correct that it is fully rational behavior for people. However that is not the definition used in economics. (sort of like physics tends to assume no friction where possible)
Unlikely but possible. Even if the odds are very low, it's bound to happen at some points. This is the first time I hear about an electrocution from a charging cable, it happened to one girl out of millions of users. That's someone being very unlucky.

We also don't know the details of where that cable was plugged into. Some electrical wiring out there is pretty wild.
Your cautionary advice could also be directed to students who are unsure what they want to study and willing to go into serious debt to aimlessly explore. Sure you sign a year-long contract, but the military pays for it.
Won't that attract attention from other less benign entities?

In any case, it would be interesting if someone is seriously working on anything like this. I don't track current research in any related areas.
>Police said a "broken-down" charging brick and frayed cable were also found in the 14-year-old's bed. It is not thought those devices were made by Apple.

As much as I don’t like apples certify program for cables and chargers, this is exactly the reason we need it to exist.
Thanks! Yeah all of the CoffeeScript in atom/atom should be gone in a few months probably. We use plain JS now.

It'll probably take a while before there's no more CoffeeScript in the entire Atom org. We're gradually converting the code to JS as we come upon it for other reasons.

You can't electrocute yourself with the voltage in a phone charger. You have to have an isolation problem in the transformer for something like that to happen.

Not that Apple's cables are not trash for fraying so easily (a ridiculous case of form over function) but that's not the issue here.
Better to model this as a change in spending patterns, not an increase in the money supply. It results in more broad-based spending on low-end goods and less on luxury goods. (In the US this would be good for Walmart and their suppliers.)

Also, inflation happens when supply can't keep up with demand. It doesn't happen when businesses can adjust by making more stuff.

An example of supply-limited inflation would be housing in some areas, but this would be countered by making it more affordable to live in lower cost areas since UBI makes people less dependent on jobs. (Consider how social security affects Florida.)

There are many people that think they know what they want to do in high school, and maybe even get some experience doing it, but then begin to hate it once they've been doing it intensively for more than a year. The purpose of being a student isn't to restrict yourself to a specific set of knowledge you expect to learn; it's to explore knowledge and develop important skills for use in the workplace. Granted things vary depending on the profession you end up applying for.

Expressing incredulity and frustration at the obtuseness of someone's complaint doesn't seem especially useless to me.

Why is expressing emotional reactions pointless, in your mind? Doing so gives everyone more information about the reactions they might expect to their concerns... it enforces social norms, etc.

Sean worked at Microsoft China; I don't think he's worried about Chinese output. There was never any question that lots of people from mainland China do great research (otherwise my department is in trouble). The question is about universities in mainland China. This is kinda the equivalent of me saying that the City University of New York isn't very good, and then you trying to name smart people from New York to disprove it.

I understand you may be upset that I didn't like your answer, but I ask that you assume good faith and not accuse me (us?) of believing something we didn't say.

If the charger has no transformer (and no galvanic isolation) then you can get electric shock by touching output contacts (or metal parts of a phone) and any grounded piece of metal, for example a water pipe.

By the way, would not it be better to have lower AC voltage? For example, 75V or 60V don't look as dangerous as 230V.

In all seriousness though, Lastpass is not a particularly good looking piece of software, and in small ways that does impact my ability to use it efficiently. It generally looks like 1Password is much better on this front, although I still use Lastpass because it's ~50% cheaper.

> #4 is absolutely true. You can make a good living with any degree, but you should always keep the practicality in mind no matter what major you are. You can't just major in philosophy and expect a job - you need to have a direction, seek internships in college, etc. That direction often changes and evolves until one settles into a career that uses those philosophy degree skills but isn't perhaps what you picture when you think about jobs for philosophers.

I didn't do any of this stuff and I majored in Japanese and here I am working in computer programming. I don't think it really makes that much of a difference what you major in. Anybody who's completed a college major has acquired excellent tools to learn new skills.

I've never owned a truck with a plow, but I've driven those owned by others. It is power-washing your sidewalk x10. To watch a giant pile of stuff that's in the way just disappear, and all at your hand: magical. Icing on the cake is when it's -20F outside and you're sitting in a warm truck cab with a cup of coffee, bending matter to your will. And there's a little something about knowing that the parking lot will be usable, and businesses can do business, because you showed up at 5:00 a. m. this morning.

I've also driven a tow truck in those conditions. Leaving your warm truck cab and cup of coffee to go hook up a car when it's -20F outside: not magical whatsoever.

I'm reminded of an article I read way back about a teenage boy who had committed suicide. Except it wasn't suicide - he died of auto-erotic asphyxiation. But no family will let that be written in the papers (at least, not immediately) so they went with the story that he hung himself and was depressed.

There was another story recently of a girl who electrocuted herself in the bath when she dropped her phone into the water while it was plugged in. I was skeptical of that as well - who wants to tell people their child committed suicide by taking a toaster in the bath? Best just say it was the cellphone.

I don't blame the parents if this is their cover up.

Other summaries of this article have noted that reducing GHG emissions from American agriculture by 28% is equivalent to reducing total American emissions by 2.6%. (Though, as other HN commenters have noted, just converting all land area devoted to animal agriculture to direct production of human-edible foods is unrealistic; I'd expect somewhat larger benefits in a realistic scenario where a lot of that land goes idle. But all agriculture together accounts for only 9% of American emissions to begin with.)

I personally don't eat beef, and have ethical concerns about animal treatment in food production systems, but people whose only source of information is "Cowspiracy" badly overestimate how large a proportion of American GHG emissions stem from animal agriculture.

You also need to take into account the cost of not filling positions.

Eventually that cost eclipses the cost of training. Also more experienced developers have an easier time jumping ship for their next >20% bump in compensation. Even with senior developers that's more knowledge and training walking out the door.

It's also much easier to con a junior developer into staying in one place too long for too little money. You might spend two years skilling them up, but if you pay them well (or even don't) you might get them for 6 years or more. Seen it happen too often.
