The thing is, everyone always wanted to eat meat - it's good and filling.

The problem is that, before modern refrigeration was introduced, it was very easy for meat to go bad and make people ill. This was very common in warm countries, and so it ended up codified in religious cultures from those areas. Around the Med, it was no biggie: vegetables were pretty easy to grow in large quantities.

However, the type of doctrine that ended up as commonplace in Europe (because of military and economic developments) was a very Northern interpretation of Christianity, coming from places where people had to eat meat because vegetables were hard to grow in cold climates. A lot (or rather most) of the Templars themselves were French or German knights; they came from places were meat was a firm staple of rich diets.

And so most of the warnings against meat went out of the window, never to return. It probably helped that "the Enemy" had gone the opposite way.
Mount a light machine gun and maybe a rocket or two and make a few tens of thousands of them and it doesn’t really matter if the battery runs out in 90 minutes. Just air drop them into an insurgency and give then orders to shoot anything that moves.
It's still so common to see clients tout a list of supported XEPs like they expect users to know what any of it means. It's great there is a list of importantant XEPs but this must be communicated to users better so that it's easier to find suitable clients. It might even be good to refer to compliant clients as something other than Jabber/XMPP then you can easily search for an "XTalk" (for example) client and know this means the full list of XEPs are supported.
Part of this might include some new XEPs to indicate to users when they are communicating with non-XTalk users so the experience might differ.
A certification programme even might help motivate devs to meet compliance quickly.

One can dream anyway.

> There is no correlation between brilliance and altruism.

That's not really relevant to what was being discussed above. The question isn't whether smart people are altruistic, it's whether there's a correlation between altruism and effectiveness. The question is whether charitable individuals are capable of building better products than profit-driven individuals.

And given that depending on who you ask anywhere from around 60-90% of modern businesses run Open Source software, it does appear that statistically (not just anecdotally) there are parts of the tech industry that are better served by non-commercial, charitable entities. If that wasn't the case, businesses would use closed source software instead.

When Heartbleed came out, nobody suggested "well, maybe we should just all switch to a proprietary for-profit solution instead of using SSL," because a good, proprietary, for-profit alternative doesn't exist and probably never will. It's just not the type of technology that Silicon Valley is good at building.

Note that this is something that seems obvious in hindsight, but it was up for debate early on in the software industry. Companies like Microsoft went so far as to compare Open Source to communism. There was a strong belief that people opening up licenses, giving away software for free, and even (the horror) requiring other licensees to give their software away for free would remove any incentive for businesses to innovate and that in the long run it would strangle new technologies.

First off, I really like your idea, however 2/3 of your main marketing points sounds a bit scary:

1. Is your "Instant search out of the box" open-source? If so, could you point me to it without the need of setting up account?

2. How do you technically handle "Keep using plugins" on BE?

Are there any bigger clients which you could mention? Could you tell us some reason why should someone trust you with some "enterprise" WP since you are quite new hosting provider?
Actually there is some standardization activity trying to do this. It does not solve the main problem: if you let the originating carrier sign the caller id, you still have to trust that carrier to really check if the caller is authorized to use it.

I have to admit, whenever I see something like this, my immediate response is: who paid for them to write this. I am reminded of the many talking heads in finance prior to 2008 who assured us that our financial system providing more debt than ever to support home loans was good for the economy.

I'm not saying it's impossible for organic to have downsides. It's not even impossible that those downsides might be substantial. I am saying it's impossible for me to trust an article that says so, given the way our newsmedia industry works. A good portion of our news is ghostwritten for them by industry, and this looks a lot like what I might pay for the ghostwriting of if I were, say, Monsanto. Is this true? I have no idea. But I am suspicious.
This doesn't have to be a political issue. No matter how "tough on crime" you are, bringing down recividism rates should be a priority for everyone. If nothing else, then at least for practical reasons.

When you deprive prisoners of meaningful interactions with people on the outside, you are isolating them more and more from the "civilian" population, and civilian life. Which invariably means you're pushing them closer to other prisoners and prison gangs. As a direct result of this, when they leave prison, they won't have anyone else to turn to, in order to get their life back on track. The only option they know, and can easily access, is a life of crime together with their prison-peers.

By not helping prisoners integrate into normal society, you are directly contributing to robbery, gang violence and homicide. That's the very opposite of being "tough on crime".
> Thunderbird disables remote loading by default.

From the paper: "For example, in Thunderbird and Postbox we can completely redress the UI with CSS and trick the user into submitting the plaintext with an HTML form if he clicks somewhere into the message."

This is bad news. Also, they claim/suggest that the following:

<link href="http://efail.de" rel="preconnect">

is a "bypass for remote content blocking" in Thunderbird, whatever that may mean exactly.

EDIT: Mozilla's docs at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types say about preconnect: "Provides a hint to the browser suggesting that it open a connection to the linked web site in advance, without disclosing any private information or downloading any content, so that when the link is followed the linked content can be fetched more quickly." (emphasis mine). If that is really the spec and I understand it correctly and Thunderbird behaves differently, then that seems like a bug in Thunderbird.
I doubt it's only that. I think it's also the tendency of people nowadays to only read titles and not to investigate further. I think some people are triggered by the phrase "right to be forgotten" and they jump to conclusions without finding out what it's really about.

My understanding is that incompetence is not a justifiable cause for firing and denying unemployment benefits. The fire-able behavior has to be "intentional" in most states.
There are plenty of examples.

This is one of the reasons why I actually like the X-Men movies a lot (at least the 1st ones), while I hate most superhero movies. I find the character of Magneto, with his backstory and his relationship with Xavier really interesting.

Isn't this just true by definition? Don't break the law while doing the best thing for yourself.

It avoids the hard question grandparent asked. Legality only partitions behaviors into legal and illegal. Morality is more like a partial order which lets you compare behaviors.

Morality then is clearly more general and must inform legality not the other way around. Which is to say, just because you aren't breaking the law doesn't mean you are a good person. And further, how should we construct legal systems which are moral?

Then you’ve decreased the recidivism rate but have you decreased the crime rate? Does living in a society that cruel lead to unintended consequences? Perhaps such a society leads to an increase in callousness and desperation thereby increasing the crime rate. North Korea famously has harsh punishments for crimes but its overall incarceration rate does not seem to be decreasing.
I once saw a fridge magnet that said "time is natures way of making sure everything doesn't happen all at once," and it's stuck with me.

The concept of time not being "real," can be useful as an exercise for modelling problems where to fully explore the problem space, you need to decouple your solutions from needing them to occur in an order or sequence.

From an engineering perspective, "removing" time means you can model problems abstractly by stepping back from a problem and asking, what are all possible states of the mechanism, then which ones are we implementing, and finally, in what order. This is different from the relatively stochastic approach most people take of "given X, what is the necessary next step to get to desired endstate."

More simply, as a tool, time helps us apprehend the states of a system by reducing the scope of our perception of them to sets of serial, ordered phenomena.

Whether it is "real," or an artifact of our perception is sort of immaterial when you can choose to reason about things with it, or without it. A friend once joked that math is what you get when you remove time from physics.

I look forward to the author's new book.
There's a disturbing deeper reasoning, one that I like to acknowledge: double predestination Calvinism. In certain forms of Christianity, you are born as either "good" or "bad". You are just intrinsically this way. You can tell which you are based on whether God grants you a good or bad life. Get arrested unjustly, wrongly convicted, or too poor to bail yourself out? Well maybe that's just because you were one of the bad people. Rich and successful? Clearly proof that you belong in heaven.

Now, even most Christians see this as horse shit. But the deep seeds of this reasoning are everywhere in Western culture, hints here and there. Harry Potter is my favorite example- that sorting hat, man, it's never put a bad person into Griffindor, has it? (I haven't read the books in years, so go ahead and remind me about that one time it did...).

This is the kind of thing that leads to hidden biases, sort of like unconscious racial or gender biases. And like those other two examples, there are people who 100% believe that it's true, right, etc.

Edit: removing a clause that didn't make sense.
> You didn't study for years just to end up making the world a worse place.

You are correct, I didn't study for years just to make the world a worse place. I'm not some cartoon villain.

But I also didn't study for years just to make the world a better place.

What I did study for years, was to obtain a valuable skill and a credential thereof. I expect that my lifetime earnings will be significantly higher on account of my education, compared to if I had not perused any undergraduate education; else I would have not spent so much time+tuition+effort.

And if my skill becomes more valuable and rare for certain companies, on account of nothing more than the irrational bias of my peers? Not taking advantage of such an opportunity, is leaving money on the table. It's as irrational as being biased against them in the first place.

Rather obviously this article was likely paid for by the chemical and pesticide industries . . . .

On the other hand, that's why they call Whole Foods Store "Whole Paycheck", when I used to go in there I saw throngs of hipsters staring at each other pretending to be shopping, while flashing $100 bills at the checkouts. Last time I visited it cost me $42 for two meals off the buffet.
Do you apply the same standard to claims about "organic" products?
So basically an article about how every health food will kill you. I think this wins clickbait of the year award.

In other news: ingesting too high a dose of vitamins causes disease. Film at 11.

On the "lower productivity economic impact" comment: productive compared to what? A large majority of our crops are soybeans and corn, which we subsidize mainly for industrial and export purposes, not to feed our people. In no way would we need to clear-cut parklands to produce more organic crops.

News flash: we don't grow all our food. The US spent 137 million dollars on food imports last year, compared to 43 million in 1999. A majority of our imports are horticultural and tropical. However, our exports (grains, feeds, soybeans, livestock, horticulture) always top our imports.

This is especially funny coming from a British rag. More than half of the UK's food is imported, and they always have a large trade deficit, which the US does not. They whine about US greenhouse gases, whereas the UK outsources its food production to other countries, thus claiming they don't produce as much greenhouse gas in the UK - because they're producing it elsewhere. The land required for producing UK food has increased by 23% since 1986. What was that about us having to clear-cut our parks again?

"Essentially, organic food is rich people spending their extra cash to feel good". Except that organics are now getting cheaper, more plentiful and more efficient, as the common consumer demands more organics as well. The overall push for more organic and less harmful food has resulted in better conditions for livestock and less harmful feed additives.
> "But surely organics avoid pesticides? No. Organic farming can use any pesticide that is “natural”.

This is misleading. Organics do avoid pesticides - just not all of them. This is a step in the right direction.

> "Conventional food, it’s true, has higher pesticide contamination. Although it is still very low, this is a definite benefit of organics.

So basically, because "Organic" is still new and hasn't weeded out all the toxins yet - it's a total failure.

Sounds like the same logic used on cryptocoins, universal basic income, solar battery banks, and many other "work-in-progress" fields.

Organic means we didn't pollute the environment, animals, and humans as much. It's not like it's something new - it's simply the lack of hundreds of common poisons.
Cute, but I think there is a substantial difference between not born and dead.
C++ Weekly Ep 115: Compile Time ARM Emulator
Uber wrote its own framework: https://github.com/uber/cadence
The code in the blog post does not match what is actually benchmarked. The reason `u256_full_mul` is so much faster than the inline assembly version is that it omits the upper part of the result, due to how the benchmark is done (cf. https://github.com/paritytech/bigint/blob/44a3133030306d9fcc...). There should be 16 full 64x64->128 multiplications (unless you're doing Karatsuba, which is not the case here) in a full 256-bit multiplication, but I only count 6 in the benchmark's inner loop (plus 4 64x64->64 multiplications). No wonder it's faster.

The disassembly for the Rust output of `u256_full_mul` at the end is also terrible, and it looks like the output of a debug build. There's no reason an optimizing compiler should be outputting `pushfd` and `popfd` in performant code. The benchmarked loop does not have those instructions.
Yeah, but I interpreted the question as "is that how it should work?", and then it's useful to compare with different languages. My point was that this is standard behaviour, but there's a slight quirk in C when the ints are signed.
“Scientific studies do not show that organic products are more nutritious and safer than conventional foods.”

The absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. The truth is we have no clue what the long-term effects are for the chemicals we're exposed to -- for all we know, the 50% drop in male sperm count over the last 30 years is related to pesticides. [1]

Additionally, there's something a little forceful about the tone of this piece that I find very suspect. If organic pesticides like copper sulfate are dangerous, doesn't this just mean we need even higher standards for organic?

> If all of the United States were to go organic, the cost would likely be around $200 billion annually from lower productivity.

This is a strange argument. Eating organic hurts the economy? The whole point of the economy is to make our lives high-quality.

Regarding limited building height in a capital city, my brother worked on a refection/reconstruction project in Paris (just next to the local Google office, near St-Lazare train station).
