People still don't get that haphazard false equivalences weaken trust in media.

I live in the rural south. The cows in my lumpy unfarmable backyard eat grass. How is it a harmful practice? I can't convert grass to a complete protein source. Any link between wild game and climate change? Fishing?

Articles like this are alienating to the average person. Why not use this opportunity push more ethical options? Grass fed Beef, Wild game, carbon neutral feedstocks, locally produced, sustainable practices. Then your readers have a clear path to less harmful alternatives before converting to the 3 square soylents of the future.
Currently, most communications around meat and climate change are in the category of ‘the pointing finger’, thereby creating guilt, shame, and stigmatization among committed carnivores, and activating psychological mechanisms of denial and downplay.

Stating that eating meat is ‘bad’ therefore doesn’t seem to work that well.

Consumption and lifestyles therefore tend to be shaped more by people collectively than individually. The most effective strategies thus engage people in groups...

One of my master students, Lena Johanning, translated this idea by developing postcards that humorously depict "flexitarian" superheroes on the front, with an invitation for a veggie dinner on the back, coupled with some amazing fact about meat and climate change.

So their answer is to convert "carnivores" with a Vegan Timeshare Sale Luncheon? =D
That's anti-environmentalism. It literally says so in the title. That's not the same thing as anti-environment. They're against environmentalist activists.

> Environmentalism, as a movement, is an alternative world view and a substitute for Christianity.

They aren't against the environment itself. I'm sure they don't particularly care about it, but they don't hate the environment for the sake of it as far as I can see.
A lot of China's CO2 production is to create goods that are purchased by the US and other developed countries. http://m.pnas.org/content/107/12/5687

And yes, some 15% of humans' GHG production can be attributed to meat.

When the Cure Is the Cause: The Case of the Green Hairy Tongue
This is a useless article with a serious vegan bent.

Humans cannot survive as vegans, and suggesting so is a pretty backwards thing given that these are basic scientific facts; so called "healthy vegans" often are taking supplements that they believe are vegan when they are in fact animal-sourced, or they are using algae-based products that are often highly contaminated as a nature of their production.

Literally, the headline might as well be "People Still Don't Get the Link Between Humanity's Existence and Climate Change, And All Humans Should Die".

In addition, they are unable to illustrate a link between humanity's actions and climate change and just take the meme for granted. More and more evidence continues to mount that indicates the large scale climate trends are entirely driven by the sun (something that outputs 384.6 YW, strikes us with 174.0 PW of that, and the current human energy need is 18.0 PW), and the pollution of humans (which is undeniably bad, and maybe the second largest driver behind modern diseases; but does not sufficiently change the Earth's albiedo to explain the trends over the past 100+ years) has very little to do with it.

On top of this, the continued use of crops that are a mismatch with our animal herds would actually have helped their climate change argument, but they purposely ignored it to instead focus on pushing a vegan agenda. As in: stop using corn and other toxic feed crops, and instead grow nutrient dense foods to feed animals instead.

The discontinuation of corn and cereal grains as cash crops (through methods such as ending costly government subsidizes and letting corn and grain-focused farms collapse under the free market, as they should) would do far more to reduce the pollution and (already small) effect on climate change than trying to get non-vegans to accept a lifestyle incompatible with the biology of humans.

The vegan religion continues to ignore basic facts about humans, the evolution of humans, and what humans require to survive and thrive, so I have no clue why Scientific American would allow themselves to become a mouthpiece for something that has no basis in science.

I'm honestly waiting for vegan "researchers" to start trying to use meat eating as an explanation for the magnetic poles rapidly moving away from their traditional positions, the Solar Grand Minimum that we're heading possibly into this solar cycle, the eerily quiet solar surface, the unusually cold weather in the Middle East, AND the thickening of the ice shelf in Antarctica against the widely popularized (and not scientifically based) predictions by Al Gore.

Claiming humanity has this much control over the weather is a bit egotistical. The only time we've successfully done it on a large enough scale to matter, we caused a mini ice age in Europe, and choked London out with thick black (and certainly lethal) smog. In comparison, natural causes such as once-in-ten-thousand-year volcanic eruptions have done more damage.
It's effects pretty bad but indirect.

Your question is interesting but might be better restated as: "What is the effect on humans if there is a drastic decline in flying insects?"

They also don't have equivalent regional monopolies on telecom infrastructure, so the problem is very much mitigated.
One of the big value propositions of the cloud was to automatically provision extra servers in response to load - either like you are doing, or by detecting load spikes and spinning up instances.

Trouble is, people don't seem to do that. I see a lot of 'Boss says use the cloud, lets just provision our current network in AWS 24/7'.

I kind of see serverless abd redshift as a workaround for the fact that users are currently mostly doing it wrong, and will eventually figure out that an always on cloud deployment is more expensive than just hiring server or colo.

How to launder the Bitcoins you just stole from NiceHash
Today I just ate one with tofu cooked in sauce and green beans (yeah soy has its own problems, at least in europe where we don't produce it).

But you can also have beans / chick pea or even greens baked into fritters.

I always liked the eggs mayo combo (adding tomato cucumber or whatever), but this is not vegan.
Unfortunately you are not able to save or export your Buddy List.

Your data associated with AIM will be deleted after December 15, 2017.

Yes, you can manually save images and files to your computer until the morning of December 15, 2017.

Whatever you thought of AIM, it's stuff like this that makes you realize just how important software freedom is. Insane that there is just no way at all, without outright hacking the program (to the extent that hacking it is possible), to export your data, that you generated, and should by rights be yours to at the very least save (and not have to comb through potentially decades of chat history to export pictures and files one-by-one).

I'd argue Netflix has a more clear impact on their business. As 30% or more of their traffic, any given business decision by Netflix can have a significant impact on an ISP's business. A change by Netflix (like switching to 4K) could have huge impact on Comcast's need to rapidly upgrade lines to handle it. Whereas a smaller provider wouldn't affect them or their priorities as much.

I still think we're a long way out from the real "watershed" moment, and I say that as a lifelong security engineer.

Nothing fundamental changed after Stuxnet. Nothing fundamental is changing from this. Nothing fundamental changed after Target, Home Depot, Equifax, nothing. We're still vulnerable to the exact same types of attacks in the exact same way, saved only by the fact that easier targets exist to draw away the attention of attackers. These "watershed" attacks only happen when someone specifically wants to go after that target as opposed to just any target.

We've been at cyber WWIII for a long time, nation-state attackers are nothing new. Problem is, loss of life is the only reason we have any reservations at all about attacking other nations. Until cyber war ends the life of a Western media-friendly victim, we will continue not caring.

Actual human casualties will be the real watershed moment.

That's if you only fake one vote, yes. But it would be relatively easy to visit a whole bunch of polling stations (even on foot you could do 15-20 in a day). And also easy to get a whole bunch of people doing this.

(I'm surprised this hasn't actually been tried before now.)
I would like to add that many net neutrality supporters were upset with the "lawful" language being included at the time. I'm sure if you look at some old threads here you can see it discussed. It opens the door to blocking protocols (like BitTorrent, which Comcast has been caught blocking in the past) that have a reputation for being used unlawfully. I also wonder if it would be a way to block things like tor, which have an unsavory reputation to many people.
That was never our primary source of food though.

Are you qualified for the job, independent of a degree? For example, have you done similar work or have other experience such that, despite not having a degree, you could reasonably assert that you can do this job as well as someone trained in the field? (Not "I'm sure I can learn it"--are you ready now?) If so, email me a resume and a cover letter that makes that argument, and if I think it's plausible, I'll refer you for the role.
Yes, a mesh network would work for that, then you just need a method to measure how much traffic each node serves then pay the node operators for that.

> "The question is not whether there is just as valid cultural knowledge, but whether culture as a source of knowledge is just as valid as science, which it is not."

Science only truly works in when the properties being explored can be accurately quantified. There are plenty of experiences and occurrences which cannot be accurately quantified. There is a common misconception amongst scientifically-minded people that science can explain everything just because it can explain a wide range of events, from the big bang to the splitting of an atom. The truth is there are certain parts of our experience that make no sense to put a number on, and science will never excel in those spheres.
Why not just simulate the computer on a single desktop PC using a bunch of virtual machines?

It's less costly, and all of the concepts are the same (except for connecting them using cables, but that's only a plus if you like the physical experience over abstraction, in which case perhaps computing is not really your thing to start with).

I decided it was worth my time and attention because the HN comments were mostly positive. Once I skipped the personal intro, the argument was sufficiently engaging to keep me going.

On the other hand, people not only drive, but also oppose progress; as a smarter than me person (don't remember who it was) said: Science advances one funeral at a time (it's basically like evolution). If people stop dying (barring accidents), we'll basically stop advancing as well.

Unfortunately, world history has clearly shown that by the time rank and file realize they need to reach consensus, they have lost their freedoms, privacy etc. (For their own good as so many dictators have said.)

By being passive and blindly listening to your party's claims -- in this case Republicans and Democrats mainly -- you have conceded your power to extremist groups (see gun control, extreme right, racists), corruption (anything to do with lobbying in the U.S. (in other parts of the world it would be called legalized corruption)) and politicians passing last minute illegible bills to laws. If you have under 20% turnover something is ridiculously wrong with the system.

Kid yourself not. It is your choice. You have the obligation as a citizen in a democracy to pay attention, vote and yes put your foot down when they feed you bullshit, like the FCC report. Otherwise, you are being ruled, you have conceded your power and it is democracy only in name. Thus I think this must be a wake up call -- see how many people on e.g. Twitter accepted this deregulation as totally ok and for "our own good". How many people know about title I and II classification? Or why FCC was forced in 2015 to finally classify ISPs as title II? Search what happened in 2005 here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_the_United_S... . It is not like ISPs are playing nicely or care about our rights. And us accepting their blatant lies and this farce is the defeat of the day.

The worst thing is you teach the next generation of voters that this is ok and natural. It is not.

And you are lowering the bar by saying "oh it is Republicans they can do that." No -- if Republicans followed their advertised mantra to the letter they should be totally against this deregulation. Don't lower the bar of what you are demanding from your representatives. If you care for your country and your life stay informed.

Yes, it more highlights that the simple presence of a valid certificate does NOT guarantee that you are connecting to the service that you think you are.

EV certs would be harder to compromise, but likely not too difficult for a sophisticated attacker. And who really notices if a site that had an EV cert suddenly doesn't? I might for my bank, but likely would not for a software product website.
I presume you mean Snapchat stories?

In that case, it's a bit different. Snapchat (and Instagram) stories are a gallery of photos and videos that you upload, where the photos and videos are removed from the gallery after 24 hours. Essentially giving you a rolling 24 hour window into peoples lives.

I've become a big fan of instagram stories as a way of keeping up with what my friends are doing, since I've moved overseas. It feels a lot more appropriate than using something like a Facebook status to share what you're doing.

Most ground > flowing water interaction happens at streams, but overall this is correct.
From the article:

"Prosecutors said that Ms Shahnaz obtained a Pakistani passport in July and booked a flight to Pakistan with a layover in Istanbul, intending to travel to Syria.

She was arrested at John F Kennedy airport carrying $9,500 in cash, just under the limit of $10,000 that a person can legally take out of the country without declaring the funds.

Searches of her electronic devices showed numerous searches for Islamic State-related material. "

Also the following:

"Prosecutors say she took out fraudulent loans of $85,000 (£63,000) in order to buy the bitcoin online."

How you take out a fraudulent loan? How can they know her intent from just a couple of searches? Lots of information missing from this article, and makes me think that this woman commited thoughtcrime rather than an actual crime...
"The malware, which FireEye has dubbed Triton, is only the third type of computer virus discovered to date that is capable of disrupting industrial processes."

This sounds incorrect ... Wasn't there (at least):

3) HAVEX (2013)
4) BlackEnergy (2015)
5) Industroyer (CrashOveride) (2016)
6) Triton (??)

Naming it Triton is unfortunate since there has been a malware from 2004 with the same name[¹] that is totally unrelated.

Agreed, there is a whole lot more to the story that sadly this comment area is too small to contain. Dickerson and Allspaw definitely did a great job of modernizing Etsy from the relatively ragtag team that operated it prior, and it seems pretty robust now.

That’s great – for their engineering department. What about the guiding vision for their core business? It’s not enough to make IT top notch when their overall aim is floundering. As a customer and developer, I frequently felt that their communications and decisions missed the mark and heard this from fellow customers continually. Etsy needs to be run by artists and retailers, not technologists.

Part of the problem is that they want to address the things like eliminating mass produced goods as technology problems, to be eliminated with the right algorithm. I think it risks turning the cozy marketplace into some automated hell like Google or Amazon.
