This. For all the shit that people give Silicon Valley, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are both going to have a huge positive impact on the world. Already they're as good or better than all but the very best meat-based burgers.

Yes. You will simply never catch every possible case that can potentially cause harm.

“Complete Python Bootcamp: Go from Zero to Hero in Python 3” Course Review
Specifically Verizon (ironically enough) sued to get a court order to say that the FCC couldn't enforce net neutrality without reclassifying ISPs as Title II.
Actually, FCC has chimed in on this 'zero rating' https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/01/12/new_fcc_guidelines_...

FCC liked what T-Mobile was doing with Binge on because it didn't favour particular services or alter consumer choice significantly. It was fair and open or any website to participate in

> When it comes to T‑Mobile US Binge On services, FCC staff decided that the service "did not compel edge providers or consumers to participate in Binge On, and did not charge them anything if they opt to do so" – and therefore was legit.

> However, AT&T's Sponsored Data program "presents competitive problems" because it "imposes hefty per-gigabyte charges on unaffiliated third parties for use of Sponsored Data" – charges that "far exceed the costs AT&T incurs in providing the sponsored data service."

I would like a USB-C hub that's like the USB-A hubs of yore: more than 2 USB-C ports, ideally 4 or more downstream facing ports. I saw one once that had 2 downstream ports and one upstream port, as well as several USB-A downstream ports, but I just want to transition fully to USB-C.

Why are there no products for that, I wonder?

American Tower’s Aggressive Response to Build-To-Relo Towers
Full Story here: http://www.steelintheair.com/Blog/2018/06/american-towers-aggressive-response-to-build-to-relo-towers.html

Recently, we noticed that American Tower was calling its landowners to convince them to call American Tower if they noticed a new tower being proposed or constructed near the tower owned by American Tower on their property. We questioned how effective this would be, as we suspect most of the relocation towers are being built in areas where there is no zoning, so the landowners wouldn’t know about it until a new tower was actually being built, at which point it would be too late.
The financials aren't publicly available, but I'd expect PE firms still made money here. The funds probably lost money, but funds are an investment vehicle separate from the managing entity.

I disagree that profitable businesses can continue no matter the capital structure. You're assuming that there's a liquid market for businesses, or parts of them. For a huge retailer that's almost certainly not true. Additionally, the current owners have to actually want the business to continue. I would believe there's more value to a short-term owner in liquidating assets than accruing profits over a relatively short timeframe.
>Even the Beyond Meat brand, which is the one that skirts the closest to being deceptive here, by virtue of their name, still has "PLANT-BASED XXXX" written front, center, and in large contrasting color letters on the packaging of their products.

Do they though? I mean here look at this [1]. It totally supports your point, "Plant-Based" is front and center in big green letters.

But what about this product? [2]

And what about this one? [3]

And this one? It says Real Meat right at the top. [4]

And these are going in the meat aisle? Right next to real, actual meat? This is blatant false advertising and consumers are going to be tricked by these products.

>Banning words like "beef" and "meat" from the packaging sounds like something that would actually engender confusion among consumers, by effectively banning phrases like "meat free" from the packaging.

Oh come on, get real. This wouldn't be a problem if "PLANT-BASED" actually was front and center on all of these products.

>This whole effort reads to me as a rather blatant example of rent seeking behavior on the part of an incumbent industry in response to new entrants to the market.

Well you're welcome to read whatever you want into it. I'd really like to see you defend those beef crumbles though. What if those chicken strips are right next to actual chicken strips? You don't think some consumer fresh off work or wrangling a kid or what have you is going to grab them thinking they're actual meat products? Of course they are.

Money actually provide some nice features for certain decentralized optimization problems.

Agree with you on how things could be a lot more community driven than the current approaches though.

From thinking about the commons based approaches that has proven to work so well in information systems. I stumbled upon Henry George and geo-libertarianism. That line of thinking provides some promising ways to move things in the right direction. Even if keeping money around.

In essence take the commons as the natural state, everything belongs to everyone. To create private or public propert from that, you first need to figure out how to compesate for the lost commons. From there flows interesting ideas such as land value taxation and public dividends.

Fully internalizing the cost (to the commons) of private ownership also should dampen the hoarding problem so evident in capitalism.

I think it’s a misapprehension to focus on the granularity of release items (packages). Why should that especially influence the security (or other variables of quality) of the underlying source?

If a given app includes 1400 pieces of code, does it matter that you can discern all 1400 externally vs if all 1400 are bundled into a single package?

However it’s bundled, there’s code beneath for it all, all with the same potential problems. All of it with the same need to be reviewed and/or trusted.

If anything, the transparency may help. It’s certainly hard for me to see why it hurts.

I'm not seeing the connection between that and anything that I said. Could you expand a bit?

edit: Do you mean that adding pass-object-by-value semantics to Java wouldn't decrease the number of short-lived object allocations because Java already does escape analysis? That may well be true. My claim was that the availability of pass-object-by-value in Go probably reduces the number of short-lived object allocations in Go, compared to what it would be if objects could not be passed by value and everything else remained the same.

"Pushing information about your product" is only marketing to the extent that advertising is marketing. "The activities required by a producer to sell his products," includes a lot of stuff that isn't pushy at all. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You think you're describing marketing, but you're actually describing only advertising.

For example, Hacker News is absolutely a marketing vehicle for Y Combinator. Would you say that they "intrusively steal people's limited time and attention to force my manipulative product spam right into their faces"? You choose to come here, and in doing so, it elevates the brand of Y Combinator in your mind and in the world.
Exact numbers are hard to come by. The United States does not keep track of emigration, and counts of Americans abroad are thus only available courtesy of statistics kept by the destination countries.

As of June 2016, the State department's consular section estimated that there are 9 million non-military U.S. citizens living abroad,[3][4] an increase from the 4 million estimated in 1999.

The above includes many retirees, who find their retirement incomes stretch further abroad. But, it also includes a lot of PHD students who have troubles finding academic jobs inside the US etc.
The big question is whether the 10% that are bad and the 15% that are good are consistently bad and good. If for some companies the bad are good, and vice versa, then it pretty much boils down to speed and terms. The rest is a crapshoot.

Gym. It is a very good place to meet some new people, it is almost impossible not to, at least here in my country (not us). On top of it, there is something called CrossFit (I’m sure you all heard of it) and their community is pretty large.

Honestly a planned community around an abandoned mall is a great idea. You can tear up the parking lots and put a bunch of apartment buildings. Have the mall be the "town square" with a grocery store, restaurants and other shops. Build some transit there while you're at it. I'd love to live in a place like that, and it'd be much preferable over private single family homes. Of course, being new buildings it wouldn't be affordable sadly.
They talk to other wealthy individuals. People with a lot of money generally have fairly small circles of friends because it becomes very hard to trust peoples' motives. Most of the people who approach you want access, money, status, or a mixture of those things. Very few really care about you as a person.

The classic "mo money, mo problems" sounds (and is) ridiculous to people without much money, but after a certain threshold it actually becomes true.
How is the regular guy supposed to figure out if a USB device is OK or not? I guess the easy answer is to say "Don't use an unknown device" but I don't think this is practical especially in the case of a charger.

Exactly! Only Tesla Haters would think that "full self-driving features" would refer to features that enable fully autonomous driving... every common sense consumer out there will clearly understand that when Elon Musk says full self-driving features he clearly is referring to parallel parking helpers and such. All these Tesla Haters would have us think that Elon has a habit of going around raising unreasonable expectations through grand pronouncements when he's clearly just trying to tell consumers that soon they won't have to worry about parallel parking their cars!

That goes for "meat" too - it was once a generic term for food, and is still used in the sense of "the edible part of something as distinguished from its covering". For example, "nut meat" is the edible center of nuts.
There was a good analysis of this elsewhere that effectively boiled down to how the tech being used (I want to say LIDAR, but it could have been lasers or cameras) had evolved. It's apparently really good at detecting how fast other objects are going, and really bad (or, at least, not designed well in its current state) at detecting stationary objects, since it's primarily been trained to ignore the millions of stationary objects all around it throughout a drive to be able to focus on moving objects (cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc).

Apparently, moving and stationary objects are treated differently, and both have to be intentionally trained, and that this was a case of seeing the stationary object but ignoring it, just like it does with most other stationary objects that aren't in the road. I'm not technical enough to go into specifics, but that's the gist from the article I saw-but-can-no-longer-find.
Have my doubts that this is as much a real issue as it is people upset over change. When I buy 'beefless beef crumbles', I'm not confused. I'd be willing to bet the number of people that are actually confused rounds to zero. As much as I love the idea of veggie based meat parity, its still not there so even if someone was confused once (which probably doesn't really happen), they won't be confused the second time.

Also, at what point is the label about the content rather than the source?

If I make an impossible burger thats indistinguishable from an animal product, does it matter that it came from plants?

What if I clone cells from meat tissue into steaks? Is that meat? It still puts these guys out of business...

Change hurts, but pretending this is a naming issue is just posturing by an industry that uses tons of land for grazing, for growing (multiple states in the midwest dedicated to corn for feed..., and has been shown to treat animals horribly. Why not just say 'what are we going to do' instead of some straw man about semantics and marketplace confusion that doesn't really hold water.

When I read this argument, it reminds me somewhat of defending slavery.
Of course there should immigration regulations, but because that's the comment you chose to make at this moment in this context, people are probably assuming that you believe the talking points about there being some big huge problem with illegal immigration in America, that somehow necessitates things like building a giant border wall and enabling ICE, etc. That would be eminently downvote-worthy, but of course you didn't say any of that. It's sort of like someone making a "both sides" comment after Charlottesville, it's hard to make a comment like that without it sounding like a dog whistle for some really bad people.
Most of the answers here are assuming that we are talking about the same kind of anxieties everyone faces. Which to some extent is true. But I've spent some time around celebrities and billionaires and I don't think that's totally an accurate take. They have different problems from you and me.

For the most part they don't have the day to day anxieties about money and what things cost of course. And also they have less of the sort of existential dread that their lives won't matter, as they are surrounded by a lot of evidence they are important.

From what I can tell the main anxiety comes from the drastic effect it has on interpersonal relationships. When you have a tremendous amount of money and status you necessarily have a very hard time trusting people, and you're likely to face a near constant inundation of people who want things from you, and who often are being disingenuous about their intentions.

It's exhausting. For the most part they deal with those anxieties by finding ways to get out of that situation by surrounding themselves with people that have similar money and status, removing themselves to isolated or exclusive places, and so on.

Lots of words and we don’t even need to eat animals. We’d be better off breeding fruits to grow in a wider range of climates. Veggies are second best, but fruitarianism is lit. I’ve been 100% plant-based for 18mo and 80%+ fruit based for 6+, 100% with income allowing.

If you look at me now I’m skinny but that’s because I’m unable to earn income for calories of energy, so I’ve taken to fasting between infrequent meals. I still workout 30+ min daily with heavy dumbells and body-weight barbell squats+dead lifts. But as soon as I can gain employment I’ll jump on a bulking routine and document it... Jeff Berwick has done so, to a small and informal extent.

The mental benfits of plant-based eating are indescribable and immensely unprofitable for all but the self.

Me too... with figuring out security with exec at least. Yes is the answer, and this is noted in the nodejs documentation for exec.

The difficulty seems to be that there is no generic pattern for making it safe with exec, it's contextual. Preventing exploits requires you to consider which shell, which command and which part of that combination is being exposed to your user input for you to know exactly what must be sanitised from your user input if you want anything more than alphanumerics.

I suggested one simpler safe pattern lower down in this thread which is encapsulating user based parameters in single quotes (which requires only sanitising against single quotes). Although this is safe, others have noted valid arguments against this too.

It seems like it's just best avoided unless absolutely necessary (most often it's not).
It's the same problem that comes from excelling at anything valued, or having any intensely desired quality. You don't know why people want to be around you, and you don't know whether they will still be there if (or when) you no longer have those qualities deemed so desirable.

BCH has less users than ETH. I think the interest is that transactions in BCH are very low, and there are talks about enabling some 0-fee transactions:

https://coingeek.com/bitcoin-com-viabtc-join-miners-choice-i...

An important difference between BCH and ETH is that ETH has a lot of opcodes, but BCH is slowly enabling some of the opcodes that were created by Satoshi but later disabled.

I think you are lumping all billionaires into the "celebratory billionaire" category. Sure Mark Zuckerberg can no longer zoom around Europe without being recognized, but how many would recognize Len Blavatnik, #46 on Forbes billionare list worth $21B (for example).
I don't know any billionaires, but I have known some fairly successful people whose success grew out of their anxieties (at least in part). They were not comfortable being vulnerable, ordinary people so they acquired degrees and titles and money and power to hide behind when dealing with other people.

So I will suggest that in some cases the answer may be that becoming a billionaire is part of how they dealt with their anxieties.
