The bigger picture here is that plant-rich diets are one the top most effective solutions to climate change (#4 on the Drawdown.org list): http://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank Rather than worrying about what is or is not vegan, just focus on eating more plants.
Sure, but I’m not sure why you’d want written proof of your gullibility and credulousness.
I don't think the camera angle matters here. If I am talking to somebody with a camera on their face, wondering whether they are recording or not becomes a constant concern.

Are one allowed to run macOS on a VM that is not apple hardware. Can you just buy macOS and run it on a vm, or is it a gray area?
Definitely not. I saw the Black Mirror episode.

"Vegans should eat oysters" is not the same as "oysters are vegan".

Reason also has the benefit of Bucklescript which has very high-quality JS output - very friendly to VMs, and the rest of the JS tooling ecosystem. This is something where Elm is sadly lagging quite behind.
I agree - mostly time is manageable.

I really just wish we could ditch DST.
DST is horrible because the rules vary from year to year, not just from place to place.
I remember clearly thinking the whole idea of landing the booster as being completely unrealistic, verging on not possible. I'm really pleased to have been utterly wrong. And 2/3rds of the boosters in today's test have already been into space. Mind blowing. Congratulations to all the hard working engineers at SpaceX!
There has to be a word for this kind of... comprehensive incompleteness. Being so particular about a vegan diet (for ethical reasons) strikes me as very odd when animal products are in use every day around us by vegans. Do people know we use every part of the proverbial buffalo? Or do vegans often ponder the "ingredients" in everyday objects?

Is vaccinating your kids vegan? Are all vegans anti-vax?

Are soaps, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, tires, and lubricants made with stearic acid and other beef products vegan?

Vegans for ethical reasons seem to only not want to consume a single part of the animal, but consume the rest, which is a pretty large portion, by weight.

And if you're eating organic food, isn't it more likely that your spinach was grown in a bath of bone meal, blood meal, fish meal? Do vegans know how we produce organic fertilizers?
The danger of a leaky abstraction is that the leaky abstraction makes it easy to ignore the edge cases, and then when you have to handle them, they come as a surprise.
i watch the video of the first landing and the cheers that erupted as soon as the engines went out whenever i need some inspiration. It's just incredible what they've done. That video could play on repeat in my office all day and I'd be perfectly ok with it.

> t says "true" for any ingredient it doesn't have in its list (I tried lamb, goats milk, and sausage – all are reported to be vegan).

Hence the title specifically noting it uses a blacklist.
> you couldn't actually identify the people involved in a particular tutoring session from just the video

I guess it depends on what you're recording, but even if you don't save the audio, or the camera recordings, information can still leak. Am I sharing my screen with my tutor? Great; my browser bookmark bar is visible, and possibly my URL history if I start typing something in. Oh, look - my Gmail tab shows my entire full name. My anonymity is blown before the second frame of the video loads.

> In the case you're describing now, it would make more sense for your to simply give your Help to the person who assisted you in exchange for their assistance.

I guess I don't understand the system. I thought that if I tutor Thomas in some basic mathematics, I earn 20 Tutorbucks. I can then spend those 20 Tutorbucks by paying Jenny to help me understand how Spring's authentication system works. It doesn't really make sense to do tutor exchanges - what am I going to ask Thomas for help with?

In any case, it seems like the answer to the submission's question in your case is a resounding no. There's nothing a blockchain brings to the table.

Except the dead wasp (and male wasps and parasites which die in the fig) are digested by the fig to mature it. Then what? If that makes food non-vegan, I don't think you're going to find much vegan food, pretty much every plant will at one point have absorbed nutrients from dead animals.
Can you quantify this? In what sense is the JS output from Elm lagging behind? What is it about the JS output from Reason that makes it better?

It’s not. GDPR is so overly broad that it’s almost impossible to be in full compliance. Not only does it count IP addresses as personal information, but it covers all EU residents, apparently no matter where they are in the world, even if you have no way of knowing they’re EU residents.

I really doubt most small-medium businesses without ties to the EU are going to pay any attention. Just like VAT actually.

> generally the government has to be trusted in some way

There's an enormous difference between trusting the government to _count_ the votes correctly and trusting the government to _record_ the votes correctly, and I think this is actually the point. How do you enable voting _without_ trusting the government?

If you have a public database then you can sign votes into it, but how do you ensure that the government won't simply delete votes it doesn't like? Pretty soon you get to the idea that each vote should be incremental to all the votes before it, so no one can manipulate the previous votes... and you get a blockchain.

A blockchain would allow you to separate the act of voting from the tallying of votes, which would be an enormous improvement over the current 'check everyone's eligibility at the door and don't mention how many people you turned away'.
Suffering seems to be something of the jain rather than vegan. I don't think I ever saw vegans minding potatoes (jain very much do so).
I have a need to store a series of verifiable messages in a decentralized way across many actors who I cannot trust. Say like a distributed, less-active subreddit. I would accept any BFT-like consensus mechanism library that's not a blockchain, but I can't really find any, so I might turn to a blockchain. If there were an embeddable, decentralized/distributed database (performance not a requirement) that handles adversarial users, I'd use that. Suggestions welcome because I don't know everything that's out there (preferably C/C++ or Rust or anything I can statically link).
It would have the unintended effect of showing people just how restrictive and bland a vegan lifestyle is, turning them off from it.
I can't say I've ever heard of any issues. In a British plug, the contacts are mechanically hidden until the earth pin has already made contact. There's also a fuse in the plug itself that prevents each appliance from drawing too much power.
Well this is awkward. Seems that shortly after I posted this here both Mozilla and Google rejected the extension from their stores. Mozilla's primary concern was that the analytics were opt-out, not opt-in, so I'm patching that in and resubmitting.

Typically, Google just said that it "did not comply with their policies" with no additional information, but I'm guessing their concerns are along the same lines.

Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in trying it out, the README has instructions on running the extension locally in Firefox or Chrome.

I'm curious what first responders think. I search a bit and found some Ford info, I looked at the 2013 electric focus here:

https://www.nfpa.org/Training-and-Events/By-topic/Alternativ...

The battery disconnect procedures there, using the high voltage service disconnects, start with lowering the back seat or jacking up the rear of the car.

Tesla provides the location of the little access panel on the quick response sheet here:

Requiring 12 volts to pop the hood is not great but it doesn't seem to be that much of a departure either.
Exchanges don't typically run/implement their own blockchains, which is what my post and the parent were talking about.

Most exchanges are 100% centralized, I agree. But it's entirely possible to buy/sell/trade Bitcoins without ever interacting with an exchange, so I'm not sure that means Bitcoin is centralized.

Most of them will agree to a payment and agree to show up at site, then just never show up at all. I have discovered what they do is solicit several offers with a YES, then choose the highest pay and never cancel the other offers.

As a common courtesy, I only make arrangements with the workers I need, but lately I have had to counter the scammers by arranging with more workers than I need, to meet up at various street corners, all near the jobsite. After I fill my quota, I just go to the jobsite, then text all the others, sorry, don't need you. I wish there were a better way, but it's the abuse of their fellow workers that is hurting the entire labor pool.
Who cares, prosecuting and imprisoning marijuana users keeps a lot of people employed and makes a few of them very wealthy, so why change that? Besides, recidivism brings more revenue.
Im kind of frustrated with the title, as it's not really describing the app, or anything on the page. Honestly, seems almost begging for upvotes instead of standing on merit.

Edit: If it was a blog post about the struggle, or about building the app - sure. However this seems a lot like the "I'm a 16 year old who built an app" stunt.
Seeing this reminded me of an episode of TWiML&AI [0] (This week in machine learning & AI podcast). It features a very interesting discussion of how Stripe provides an explanation for their black box fraud model to customers when it chooses to block transactions. They basically have created an explanatory model which they train against the black box model and then run against the fraudulent transaction. It outputs the first explanation from a list of human interpretable explanations that would have changed the fraud decision from "Fraud" to "Not Fraud." This is one of the most interesting episodes in the show based on the number of times it has come up in conversation.

In looking up the show notes for that episode, I see that there is also a mention of this paper (in the OP), and that the authors were previously interviewed in TWiML #7 (which I haven't listened to).

I'm curious what measures you refer to. There are practical approaches that are in common use. For example GPS is synced to UTC(USNO). But nobody tries to promote that as a universal time scale.
> they do offer torrents as a P2P solution: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/repository_torrent/

yes, that's the problem. Once you have a torrent they can't add new files to the torrent, they have to make a new one, and you have to download the new one.

Also this website is blocked in the UK.
After 0.5 seconds you should have a good enough estimate to know that the operation will take 0.51 seconds, in which case you don't show the dialog at all. Of course estimations are sometimes wrong, but it shouldn't be a problem if you flash a dialog for 0.01 seconds once in a thousand times.
The issue with sugar is bone char—animal bones are often used to bleach white sugar. That’s similar to the problems with some beers. Guinness, for instance, uses isinglass (fish gelatin) for purification.

While I believe that some vegans might have some concern about harvesting. I’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t eat conventionally-harvested vegetables.

NB: not a vegan but a kosher vegetarian and so have some similar restrictions.

I wonder if Apple would let you publish a harmless $0.99 Digital Homeopathic Medicine app that lets your customers lick the screen to administer the medication? If there's such a thing as water memory, then surely the gorilla glass of a smartphone screen has memory too. It could even offer a $9.99 in-app purchase to download the memory of Oscillococcinum, which it could draw on the screen as a QR code for your customers to lick.

Note: I am not vegan, nor I necessarily endorse the thinking behind this answer, but I'm trying to do a service to the discussion by reporting what I heard from a conversation with a vegan friend.

I think the argument here is that most of most animals' worth come from eating them or their products. If everybody were to stop eating animals then it would not be economically feasible any more to use the "waste" parts of the animal for all the other products. We would find other more economically feasible ways to produce the same products (via plant matter or synthetics). Thus, by refusing to eat meat and animal products, all the other uses of animal suffering would cease to exist.

I'm struck by how little of the design here reflects the topic the app is meant to teach. The prototypes shown mainly focus on login pages, navigation, and other functionality which could apply to teaching any topic, or indeed virtually any mobile app. The user story at the beginning could freely substitute "programming" with "cooking", "knitting", or "woodworking".

This project looks reasonably polished, but at the end of the day the least attention seems to be directed at what should, in principle, be the focus: teaching programming. Consider: is reading a few bite-sized paragraphs and answering a multiple-choice quiz how you learned any of the skills necessary to put this together in the first place?
You know, I get the sentiment of these sorts of posts. But it doesn't really seem to matter at which point in history you think is the golden age of journalism, they were still selling the news and that often meant sensationalist headlines on the front page fairly often to grab attention and pull readers in. This is not a new thing on any level.

You can quibble that news stories were "less" sensationalist in the past, but that's very debatable. It's not as if anyone in this thread from 2018 can rattle off the ten headlines from 1918 or pretty much any year they didn't live through. So I would take any appraisal's of today's news compared to the past without some hard data to back it up with a few grains of salt. I'm of the mind the more things change, the more they stay the same as far as this subject goes.
They should just give up and discard their emotions.
Hopefully they'll get theit async story sorted out fast.

That's the only thing holding me back right now.

i watched a Cruise driver sit through multiple opportunities to make a left against traffic, until the light turned red and the traffic clear out complentely, basically wasting the green light. It was rather infuriating to watch, i joked to my girlfriend who also watched that we are all screwed if the Valley cant get its act together to hire really top notch drivers to train driverless cars. We dont need the roads full driverless cars who dont know there own power.
If you missed that, then wait until you learn what's the test payload...
hah i felt the same way. I remember when the Sky Crane was used to put Curiosity down on Mars, I thought there's just no freaking way that's going to work but they pulled it off. When SpaceX started talking about landing boosters I shook my head again but then they did it. The older I get the more blown away (and humbled) I am at what people are capable of achieving.

On a lighter note there's a Simpons line when Homer has to land a plane and is talking to someone on the ground

Colby: Okay Homer, I don't know anything about planes, but I know about you. You have what made America great: no understanding of the limits of your power and a complete lack of concern for what anyone thinks of you. So you'll land that plane. And do you know why? Because I heard some guy say you couldn't.

Homer: What! I'll show him. I'll show that guy!

The best way to get something great done is to tell someone it's impossible for them to achieve.

Cool idea and great job launching. I might consider at some point in the future. For now, quick feedback: my primary curiosity is what the interface looked like. It clears up my understanding to see the "How It Works" page but that page is buried. I'd expect that if you had a simple one graphic version of that on the homepage that'd also increase conversion.

And yea the title of the post does seem like you're looking for upvotes for the backstory (as opposed to writing an article about how you did it), but hey, great job anyway! Even with the responsibility of having to walk a dog, I complain, so the fact that you launched this is impressive. Good luck!
Here’s my own anecdote ...

After hearing so many people say positive things about Vanguard for so long, I set up an account there. They had pretty much all my disposable cash, in a Roth IRA, for about two years. Rather than begin the predictable uptick in wealth I expected, my results, having about $25K parked there, was that I lost about 300 bucks. I sent several messages asking what I could do about it, their responses were gobbledygook that I did not understand, so I took all my money back out. Praying that I don’t wind up with a huge tax burden this year, due to this mistake.

Here’s my message: regardless of the hype, Vanguard is not for unsophisticated investors. I am looking for an actual human being who can help me invest, now.
AFAIK, Teslas just use huge arrays of 18650s. And it's well known that lithium cells can catch fire if they are crushed or pierced.
For most, it's less about the hard and fast rule set as much as a constant minimization of our consumption of animal products.

> The really good thing is the idea of a blacklist though

It's not though, because untagged items are assumed to be suitable. This becomes an issue for people with health-related diets e.g. if you have serious food allergies you want to be very very sure your foodstuff does not contain the allergen. So a tag/categories system should have "suitability tags" (whitelist) in much the same way restaurants will have marks for vegan or jain/ahimsa or halal items, not for the opposite.
