> The findings, while expected, are quite sobering. Pork, chicken, dairy and eggs are equivalent within a factor of two when it came to their environmental burdens, the authors determined. But beef requires far, far more resources than any of those other protein categories. The team calculated that beef requires 28 times more land, six times more fertilizer and 11 times more water compared to those other food sources. That adds up to about five times more greenhouse gas emissions.

Right. A shortwave link would be used in addition to a fiber link, not as a replacement for it. Assuming ACKs aren't latency sensitive, they could flow back over the fiber.

The same would be true for your wish of a Firefox-fork, though I'm not sure there's that much sense in it, since what Mozilla has been doing has not infringed on privacy. You'd be patching out things that are harmless.
Fun fact: Netflix founder Reed Hastings was previously the author of Purify, a truly revolutionary memory-reference checker from the 1990's that worked by instrumenting all the object code in a program, including all the libraries linked in (even dynamically), with no source files or recompiling needed. Slow-down was typically 2x.

Anyway, he used the money he made from selling the company (Pure Software Inc.) to initially self-fund Netflix.
> My understanding is that Container Linux as is will be supported for years, but we will also be creating a new distro, RH CoreOS, that replaces the Gentoo build system with Fedora tooling.

As a Gentoo dev and long time user, I've always had a lot of sympathy for CoreOS since the beginning, so when I heard about the RedHat acquisition, I wondered about this. I have to say that I'm saddened to know that Portage will be eventually replaced. It's an excellent package manager.
Thanks, I see that.

But isn't ambiguity the tradeoff?
The decoder box has to decrypt the satellite signal, run it through a video codec, apply the fancy watermarking, and then output the signal. I'm guessing they've worked out a way of hacking the STB to extract the signal between the decryption and watermarking stages.

Ive worked at a credit union. I’m supportive of the idea. However, credit unions aren’t efficient or even capable of providing all banking services people want. They’re especially poor at banking for people who travel internationally, and at providing business banking.

Also, most credit unions either use federal (national) credit unions and large banks for services. We bought our cash from JP Morgan, sold our mortgages to US Bank and kept reserves with a federal CU. Without these services, expenses would have been higher or services would have been reduced.

That's pretty much the 'Getting Things Done' book in a sentence! Though the advice is every week, not day in the book, and latterly changed to 'whenever works' with the advent of web systems to track tasks.
Something strikes me as odd about things like this. There is regular discussion here on HN about how lonely some people are, depressive isolation, and so on. And yet here people view this as 'well that's weird' for having a company, however obscure, that would provide a product that could remedy this solution.

I see it as little different than prostitution. Somebody wants something that's fulfills a need that's generally provided for free * , yet if those unwilling, unable, or uninteresting in fulfilling this desire are willing to pay for it then why in the world aren't there more companies offering it? I don't think this would even inherently entail a denial of reality. It's just a way for people to fulfill another psychosocial need.

Rather than constructing labrythian and usually unintended-consequence-laden incentive schemes to cajole corporations to act in the public good, it’s usually more efficient to facilitate capital’s maximization of profit, tax that profit, and invest it directly in the outcomes you’re trying to achieve. I agree that governments ought to intervene in cases like this, but nowhere is it written that regulation should be the primary tool, or even a tool.

I'm talking exactly about that spinner. It's a lie. You quickly learn it has no relation whatsoever to what's happening in the background. And indeed it doesn't, because it's an animated GIF, completely detached from any logic or networking code!

(Compare the CLI spinner/fan - that "/ - \ |" animation used to indicate progress. There you know that each tick of the spinner means work has been done, because it has to be animated from code, and it's much simpler to just update it from the code that does the work.)
“Are you playing the part of a bad manager, or is this really you?”
Sometimes putting more work time in is less useful than than taking time to improve the quality of that work. 14 hours working at 75% capacity because you're tired, isolated, or missing social stimulation is worse than 10 hours at 100% of your capacity.

Many founders find missing their friends and hobbies makes them less productive, so, for some, it's far better for the startup to spend a little less time on it. It takes a very self-aware founder to actually do it though.
> That's exactly why I prefer them. Because of the time savings. And I'm willing to pay more for that.

Yeah, that's what I say, I misread you first, but after reading correctly, that's the only interpretation that makes sense. I was agreeing now.

> Southwest still make a lot of stops. If you want to get from the west coast to east cost, there's a really good chance of stopping in Denver, Kansas City, or Texas.

Since I moved to the US I mostly fly overseas, and when I lived in Germany for the rest of my life before that I mostly flew to other countries. I don't know, maybe flights with stops are less common in those scenarios.

People are also trying to make meat without animals, by culturing animal tissues outside of an animal. You can see on a number of previous HN threads on this topic that a lot of animal advocacy groups have been forming a consensus about supporting these. I don't think any limits have been established on their eventual "realism" or biological similarity to tissues grown inside an animal.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat for a lot of interesting ideas and references.

I also agree with the basic premise: new development doesn’t build livable neighborhoods.

Consider San Francisco’s mission bay. UCSF is a bad neighbor - they have large unfriendly buildings that create a dangerous street environment. The adjacent residential isn’t a lot better. Lots of parking garages, no effective street level housing, no effective businesses. There is no legitimate reasons for someone to be hanging around after dark.

I also lived near the Castro and lived thru 5 large apartment infill developments. Only one produced useful ground level business (Whole Foods). All the others had their retail space sit empty for years, Years! This is in an existing neighborhood that has a strong history of mixed retail and residential.

Not to mention that during the construction (1-3 years depending) the sites are the very definition of bad neighbors. They suck away street parking, they cause noise and air pollution (new concrete work causes plenty of air pollution), make it difficult to get around the area.

As an existing resident the upsides are minimal (no effective new business, the new ones tend to be expensive, doesn’t cater to existing residents) and the downsides are guaranteed.

Considering that Firefox pioneered the extensions concept among the masses and had a wide variety of terrific extensions (and still has) as a key differentiator, and since many users have appreciated Firefox for this reason (even if they didn't care much about FOSS), Firefox must continue to push heavily on this front.

Of course, everything that was possible before wouldn't make sense in the web extensions platform (for security and other reasons), which is why I said "almost everything". But things like tab management (even Tab Mix Plus on web extensions is only in beta now), session management, etc., are highly important to the browser UX for a lot of Firefox users. They're highly sticky factors as well that prevent users from switching to another browser.

I've also seen some people who deploy and use Firefox in enterprise state that they're going to be on ESR 52 for quite sometime, with one of the reasons being some extensions not being available (or ported) on web extensions.

I'm not going to blame Mozilla or the Firefox team for the current state of affairs. But knowing what we know (with the advance notice on web extensions), the main advantage of Firefox on the extensions front shouldn't be lost. If anything, this piece needs to be accelerated further and also have the Mozilla Firefox team drive new features and abilities in web extensions that make other browsers look outdated.

I'm a die hard Firefox fan, and would always be cheering it on to thrive and grow.
I looked up the MLSListings entry and it says zone "R1-8" - that's a new one, usually I see R1 and R2 or R-M which respectively mean only 1 unit, 2 units or multiple units allowed. Not sure if this is an MLS-ism or R1-8 is actually a synonym for R1 or R-M.

Also this lot is in the Willow Glen area which is quite desirable (close enough to city center but still residential-ish neighborhoods).
For a moment this was the best news I had read in years, until I noticed the story is a year old and the research paper[1] is two years old. Hopefully there has been some progress in the past years but if that were the case we would should have seen another headline by now. At least I haven't.

Normally 2 years wouldn't be much time to go from a research paper to production. But this appears to be a simple solution to an urgent problem so it's hard to be patient.

No, stereotyping would apply some assumptions to an individual based on his group. This on the other hand is a plausible statistical claim.

Some stereotypes are based on loud minorities, but others manifest due to the it being true on a statistically meaningful scale. I think it is safe to say on average Japanese have more seaweed in their diet. So if I met a random Japanese person and assume they eat seaweed, then I am stereotyping, but it is rational and informed stereotyping, nothing rude about it.

Ask HN: MBP user making new job win/pc switch
I recently joined a large company in a senior tech role. I was given an HP zbook/dock/monitor. I've been a Macbook Pro user for over 12 years.

I have a 2000 char limit here so wont expand, but imagine docker, WSL, freezing constantly, etc. Form-factor/keyboard/no-trackpad is also a huge problem for me. I feel like a beginner: key combos, finger placement, reaching for the mouse, etc. I know I'd be tearing through learning this new codebase on my mac.

They know I want a MBP (pre-touchbar, luckily still sold), and they are genuinely making an effort to get one, but it sounds like it could be a while and won't be an easy battle for them. 100% MS shop. For anyone wondering how I didn't know this going in - I had a feeling it leaned heavily MS, but was caught off guard that Apple wasn't even an option. Plus there were other factors that made this interesting so it wasn't at the top of my checklist. That part hasn't changed - I want things to work out well, I like the people, the project, the company, etc.

A part of me actually likes what MS has been doing lately and hates what Apple has done. For example, I tried to buy the MBP w/ Touch Bar when it came out and that only lasted a week until I returned it: Hated the Touch Bar (I need a real esc), hated the keyboard (especially the arrow keys with a full-size left/right), hated the monster trackpad that my palms rest on and hit all the time. So my problem is deep... I'm basically stuck with my Late-2013 MBP, but how long can that last? So I'm open, just scared out my mind and want to settle on something I can eventually feel as at-home with long-term.

I'm looking for any relevant advice, particularly related to 1) approach with management, 2) closest/comparable feeling laptop models I should explore that might give me what I'm after (hp is easiest for them), or 3) general advice about my own personal problem of being so attached to one specific model.

My company uses a very expensive and common accounting software to run the entire business. It uses a sentinel date value that represents no-end-date. That date is 2025-12-31. I suppose in the 80's when the system was first designed they never imagined that the system would still be in use in 2018. There is a slim chance we will have changed software by then but that chance gets smaller every day.

I understand your point. But if a pipe only carries 10 gal/min and the new building requires 20, it’s on the developers for the upgrade.

> The house might be worth less but the plot of land it is sitting on is worth a lot to a developer who wants to build a similar complex there.

The problem is that this doesn't work in practice for individual homeowners. It would only work if all the homeowners who own those "plots" required by that developer are willing/able to sell at once, and that happens approximately never.

Moreover, the value of the house isn't just important at the time of sale but also at times such as mortgage refinances. A drop (or lesser gain) in value can have real negative financial consequences well before any sale.
With an ag background I've been following this story for a long time. It has excited enough interest in America that trials are underway, I believe off the coast of Maine to grow red algae but I can't find the link.

But they've already had luck growing red algae off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Molokai. I've been to Molokai and although there's a lot of farmland there it's laying idle. Most of the land was used previously by Dole I believe to raise pineapple's.

I was scheming with some fellow agronomists at the time what we could grow profitably. Most of the former workers commute presently to Maui and work in the hotels. It would be hilarious to me if the entire farming industry ended up taking place off the coast.

The real billion dollar mistake was nullable references in Java and C#. By then we should have known these things need an extra type-specifier. But Java was meant to be simple and easy.

References in C++ are non-nullable so the precedent already existed.

I hope C# gets around to solving this problem -- Microsoft is working on it -- but it's much harder to retroactively solve it.

No. We should discuss the norms of software jobs and the extent to which industries should accommodate people who don't fit the norms of the industry.

I'd like to work as a counselor or social worker but my belief on human nature is that humanity is fundamentally evil although self-interest and dominion can motivate people to care and be effective. But there's a systemic bias in that industry against people like me. How do you think we should resolve disputes groups that are currently doing a job verses groups who purport to be interested in doing the job?
I lived next to a major construction site. I came to hate construction workers. They constantly violated city wide noise ordinances. They started work as early as possible, to ease their commutes, which were vehicle based, in a neighborhood well served by transit. They took street parking for years on end. They created tons of dust.

It sucked. The resulting construction added no flavor to the neighborhood. It was generic and boring looking apartments, no business space, no communal or common space.

Unfortunately, there are fishermen that are no longer able to make a living because they have depleted the fish in the area they fish, so now they are looking for a new way to make a living. Farming seaweed seems to be a possible alternative to fishing. We'll be seeing a lot more stories about how great seaweed is as the industry starts to make a market for it.

Feeding cattle grass will reduce the methane just as much as seaweed, I bet. The problem is that the majority of cows are fed a diet of corn, which is cheap relative to grass, which does not appeal to their digestive system so therefore we get a lot of methane out of the whole process. What I see here is somebody trying to sell seaweed as an additive. But the reality is that if you fed cows the proper feed, grass, then we wouldn't have the big problem with methane.

Edit-
Update, seems like grass is a bigger methane producer when digested by cows. The problem is the pollution created to produce and transport the corn. I was going by old info.

Here's a link.
