Everyone is focusing on the "ethical" issue of killing animals but in fact I think this issue does not matter to the majority of the global meat market. Instead I think the ecological factors (greenhouse gas emissions from meat production) and economic factors (could theoretically be cheaper, easier to manage, and more efficient than a farm) will be the primary drivers here.

Also, funny to imagine someone walking into a16z with just a piece of chicken and walking out with a $3 million check.

The populations of these countries is significantly smaller than the US. Apples and oranges dude, things are always simpler when your bureaucracy doesn't have to cover 330m people -- you get a combinatorial explosion from all the additional interests and incentives with a larger population. Your points sound like they come from a bad econ textbook or a collation from poor reporting -- I know I heard them somewhere before.
I think it's more referring to offers like these:

* Buy One Get One Free
* Free USB-C to A hub with your new Macbook Pro

there are over two million civil servants at the Federal level and combine that with nearly twenty million at state and local levels it is easy for people to think they spend too much on government which in turn prevents the ability of government to spend more money on salaries of those who are truly that valuable.

so the first step is to pare down civil employment so that the general populace feels that they are getting a good investment. government needs to start selling itself on being a good investment instead of a jobs program. its not hard for the general populace to get this idea when there is news all the time about bloated pensions and high debt in their cities and states because of government pensions.

so since the 60s the size of government at all levels has tripled where the population hasn't. part of the explosion and state and local levels is from Congress funneling money to hire people outside of the Federal level but instead at local. then when the funding dries up the jobs tend to stay anyway

Sentencing takes into account the background. The law itself is blind, under which all are equal. You're saying you'd let off a murderer because he had a rough childhood or what now? I am not saying our system os unrivaled, I am saying I am content, even happy, to be subject to it over any other I know of. It is not incumbent on me to find a preferable one if I like it. It is on you as the critic to do so. I will consider it if you make a good case.
Testing is not for finding bugs, testing is for preventing bugs. But otherwise you are right, it's hard to calibrate and further develop the testing procedure if you rarely find bugs. While you might wide awake on one eye you might be blind on seven others. It's usually the things you don't expect that kill you. So, some need to be paranoid, be very paranoid.

As an Arch Linux user for years this hurts me. I can't even imagine living with all that old crufty stuff and then when you actually upgrade something you have library issues and so on.

For those who are to afraid to run Arch, consider openSUSE Tumbleweed. It is as up to date (or more so) as Arch Linux but they do a lot of automated testing, plus they do a lot of automatic snapshots so you can go back if needed (that is if you are willing to run Btrfs).
At the time we looked at OpenShift and decided not to use it because there was no easy wat to update an openshift cluster. In all fairness I have no clue what the current state of this issue is. For us it was important enough to be a deal breaker back then though.

We settled on Triton ( https://github.com/joyent/triton ) and while conceptually very different we are very happy with it. It allows us to leverage great technologies like ZFS, DTrace, Crossbow (network virtualization), Solaris Zones, etc.
As a contrary anecdote, Arch Linux has only gotten more stable for me over the past years. I'm running it in multiple servers and had only one incident where a downgrade was necessary (which is not particularly hard either).

All my friends and myself had these Sony "flatscreen" TVs from around 2001. Took maybe three of us to move them out of our apartments. My friend had a bigger one, maybe 40" that was truly a beast and took up like a quarter of his Boston apartment living room. I remember I paid about $1K USD for the 32" model. I recently purchased a 4K 60" Samsung refurbed for $540. Memories.
For one, the pins are small and hopefully don't touch nerves. More to the point, Titanium:

— Is nontoxic.
— Is biocompatible, and can semi-integrate into bones, a process called osseointegration[1], which makes for much better implants.
— Isn't ferromagnetic, so you can use MRI to examine and maintain implants safely.
— Is less conductive than many other metals.

A strong military is a must for global peace. Perhaps living in the west which has been war-free for so many decades its easy to forget. But go to Syria, or Libya and you will see what happens when, in the absence of a strong, centralized military command, factions duke it out with each other.

That being said: diplomacy is almost always better than war. But the ability to wage war must not be ignored.
I have a similar Sony Trinitron TV - i'm not sure about the size, it should be at least 32" but might be bigger (it is a widescreen too). It is so heavy that you need at least two people (preferably three) to move it around and for the first three years i had it when i got it, i had it placed on the floor because... i couldn't lift it to place it anywhere else :-P.

The TV has barely seen any use, i got it because at the time i was thinking to buy one of the upcoming gaming consoles but i never got one and i do not watch TV. I couldn't connect it to my PC and, being on the floor, it wouldn't be very comfortable anyway. So it just stayed there until i moved and sent it to my sister who promptly sent it back once she moved :-P. That was the only time it saw any use. It is now in my bedroom, sitting there for 7+ years and - considering the weight - as far as i am concerned it is part of the house now.

Sometimes i am thinking to buy an HDMI to whatever input it uses (it has a bunch but not HDMI) adapter to connect a Raspberry Pi for watching a movie or something, but it is aligned at the side of my bed and it'd be much easier to rearrange the bed (and the rest of the room) than moving the TV.

It is like this TV was doomed to never be used since the first day i bought it.

This post annoys me for describing a problem which other people might encounter with a good level of detail but uses “broken” to get clicks rather than the more accurate “I don’t understand or agreee with the security model”.

As misnome and others have noted, if someone loads a malicious kext the only safe option is a complete wipe and reinstall – or depending on how much you trust Apple’s firmware signing, buying a new computer.

This is part and parcel of working in a higher security environment than the classic Unix model, and it’s not specific to MacOS. I’ve seen people have the same kind of angry rants about trying to delete immutable files on other Unixes, disabling SELinix rather than learning how to use it and then complaining when an auditor dinged it (on .gov systems!), etc. I think it’s generational for those of us who got started on single-user PCs in the early or pre-internet era and learned the root=god model as the default without questioning its suitability for general usage or the modern malware situation (broad targeting, sophisticated, omnipresent, infections can be permanent, etc.).
Specific to NSA, we're also in a time when their skills happen to be in enormous demand. Crypto is hot, having NSA/CIA on your resume is great for starting a security startup, and the math experts can reposition themselves as data scientists.

For a comparison, in the 90s Singapore tried targeting a rate of 2/3 of private salaries for their public servants. I haven't seen evidence that this is still a format target, but their public services are fantastic. (Of course it's a small island country, so hard to compare with larger places)

> There is a deeper problem there in that these universities perhaps simply can't afford to have 10 foreign languages or gyms or sports clubs.

I always found it weird that universities evolved to become sports franchises; it's at the very least orthogonal to being an institution of higher learning if not opposed to it, given that sports programs siphon money away that could be used in intellectual pursuits.

I'm a bit proud that my university does not have a (gridiron) football team; we did once but it was disbanded in the 1910s because the sport was becoming more violent.

It depends on how long it takes for Intel to go through all regression tests for all affected platforms. If it takes several months to complete, a countermeasure in the kernel update may still be the better stopgap.

Or maybe it could be that Intel privately disclosed already that no backport will be done to firmware of older CPUs, in which case the kernel update is the stopgap for newer generation and the solution for older generations.

> Other countries like the UK and AU will typically have the ruling party in control of a majority.

That's not my understanding or experience, and I'm a voter for both. The number of governments where the ruling party controlled both chambers is fairly rare. AU elects the upper chamber on a different schedule to the lower, so often a new government (in the House of Reps) will face an opposition-controlled Senate. I think this is the same as the US system.

The UK has it worse with the House of Lords, which aren't elected and thus won't ever change hands directly from a General Election result.

Also note that the voting tradition in AU is that if Labour gains control of the Federal government, then the Liberal/National Coalition generally gains control of the state legistlatures (and vice versa).

Perhaps you mean that a UK or AU lower chamber facing a hostile upper chamber is still functional and productive compared to the equivalent in the US. I think the threat of blocking supply or a vote of no confidence (or in the AU, a double dissolution) helps these governments be more willing to compromise with their opponents & pass legistlation, in the absence of a majority.

> some sort of minority government

A minority government is a rather specific term, and can be easily misunderstood when used to refer to an opposition-controlled upper house (which doesn't ever really exist in the UK). Could you please be more specific?

> In the US, if your parents can't pay for your university degree, you need to either get lucky and get some kind of scholarship or go a couple 100k into debt

The average student loan debt is something like $40K, not $200K, and there are quite a few scholarships. I got one for going into STEM--it paid something like $2K/year and I got my degree with only $7K of debt, but I set up my schedule so I could work while I wasn't in class and I didn't lead the lavish lifestyle that my peers did. Of course, the US education system is still unnecessarily expensive--but this falls out from the government's attempt to make it affordable--the government subsidized education by giving students loans and universities responded by competing on things students care most about: manicured campuses and lavish amenities. There are other things as well--additional administrators ("diversity officers" and "bias response teams"), but it mostly falls out from student loan money. Even still, there are lots of great schools that still compete on education and great services to help you find them, so doing better than the average $40K in debt is definitely feasible if not easy even without a scholarship.

Career change at 30, or after, is very possible. I've had several big ones over the years and am just going through another transition at the tender age of 55!

You are probably about where my son is now, although he's a few years younger than you. He is moving from electronics / HVAC into a career in web design/development and is already getting decent gigs on a freelance basis and has had several interviews for jobs that pay what I could only have dreamed of as a struggling FE lecturer when I was his age. You could follow his Instagram at 'countryside.coder' and maybe pick up some tips - he has various friends/followers that are doing the same thing. Getting into the Google scholarship program has been a big help to him. In terms of skills: the usual - Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS. He is now learning PHP as he's picking up work that requires it (Wordpress, Drupal). Good luck to you!
>> But if you had metal bones they wouldn't ever need repairing: titanium alloy for example has a fatigue strength of about 500MPa which is more than five times greater than the stresses that it would experience in its life as a bone.

It's worth remembering that Calcium (the substance bones are made of) is, in fact, a metal [1]. And our bodies have no problem growing and repairing our bones. Why wouldn't that happen with steel?

Also- the bit about the stresses that a titanium alloy bone would experience in its lifetime- yeah, that, probably. We probably have bones as tough as they need to be, or _needed_ to be in the last million or so years.

Seriously un-true. Just this weekend I set up a friends old, aging laptop with a fresh Ubuntu Studio install, and .. everything just works. Video playback, drivers for everything. Seriously! Even multi-screen (i.e. projector) extensions, and so on. We watched movies with it all weekend, just plain ol' Ubuntu Studio.

So, anecdotal stories are yarns, yo.

(I say this as an Ubuntu and macOS developer, thus user: its functionally a point where Ubuntu could un-seat macOS in terms of ease of use, on .. admittedly a very much wider range of hardware.)

As for the MacBook hegemony, I point my wavy hands at things like the GPD Pocket, and its future off-spring.
I was responding to your claim:

"The "American Dream" gives people the impression that working hard solves everything and that their country is the best in the world period"

Which is both wrong and missing what the American Dream is all about. It's very far from any European idea of equality, I say that as an European myself and grew up in one of the most equal countries (Denmark).

But once you get to live in the US you quickly realize why Scandinavia style healthcare can never work in the US. It's simply not structured both geographically, culturally, immigration wise and politically to ever work.

As a country with opportunities, nothing really beat the US when all things are considered. That doesn't mean everyone is making it that's not the goal either.
This is speculation, and I personally don't find it to be true anymore. Funnily enough, I was on the opposite end of this argument as someone else on reddit about a year ago, when I cited an article from I think the daily beast, making the exact same point.

Among the flaws with the argument though, are an assumption that he could track the market (or that it would be a good idea), which is a flawed argument because Bogle didn't even start the first index until 1975, and until the 90's index funds had a reputation of being terrible. It was an undeserved reputation, but the idea of dumping hundreds of millions into an index was just unheard of.

Again, it's also an issue that there was no way to track the market prior, so what was he to do with the money from the age of 18-28? There's also the issue of the article I read assumes the absolute minimum value it could find for the value of Trump's brand.

While I think Trump valuing it in the billions is absurd, so is stickering it at $30 million, even before the election. It seems in bad faith to me to choose the weakest possible version of the thing you are arguing against, especially if that's the only possible way to make the math work out.
