I can see that, but I don't understand how simply 'attaching a label' could lead to any real earnest sentiment. If I train myself, day in and day out, to tag a photo of children 'racist', is the presumption that I will start to actually think that children generally believe in fundamental qualitative differences between people that break along racial lines? That isn't how my brain works. If someone asks me 'hey, are kids racists?' I don't think 'hmmm... do I FEEL LIKE kids are racists?'... I think 'Hmmm... do I have any evidence or have I come across any resources that suggest children might harbor racist tendencies?' And 'well I attached all those labels' doesn't qualify as evidence of anything except me wasting my time. Words have power, but they're not magical.

It certainly can be frightfully easy to lead people down a path into forming tons of negative associations about some group or topic, and that will result in a trained emotional response pretty reliably..... but it's just an emotional response. It doesn't mean anything, and can't be used to support or detract from anything in terms of what is true.
And, moreover, you don't need to conquer it (with out without invasion) to destabilize it and reduce it's influence as a geopolitical rival.

Throwing solid waste in a hole is not management of that waste. What we need is recycling technology that works and is widely used, which requires money, which means we need to target the advanced economies first.
I don't think that's true. For one, there are many publications about strict education and until relatively recently, it was the leading school of thought; we have movies featuring them, even praising them (Harry Potter for example - that was an example of a school lead as a benevolent dictatorship - that of course turned out bad later in the series). For two, people mostly don't read books about parenting but then they're parenting their kids somehow - how? Well, with whatever they picked up from their parents, TV, fiction books... Isn't it possible that it might be the same with teaching? I have some experience with working in education. Most of my former colleagues almost never think about the way they teach; you ask them why did they punish a student for disobedience (aka "he drank water even though I told him not to") and they say "because that's how it's done", you asked them why are they explaining something in that way and they don't know, they just do.
decided to show them what "over the top" really was.

That is exactly what happened. "Did you say Glugglugvulin? Cory is IN. THE. HOUSE."

Indirectly this proves to be a useful discovery mechanism for me - when tools crop up on HN I think ‘hey that’s interesting’, then oftentimes when I read the comments I find there are numerous existing solutions I had never heard of along with helpful links and insightful info :-)

It’s brilliant. It’s one of the reasons I value this site so much.
One thing to consider is whether you are making a habit of telling others about your brand new hobby. Is there a concern that you start up new projects/hobbies, let others know that you're working on them (thus receiving praise), and then feeling like you are beholden to continuing the project?

This may or may not be the case, but if it is, I recommend not telling anyone about a new project/hobby until you've reached a stage where what you have is praiseworthy as an accomplishment.
I’m genuinely curious: you ask if one has any problem. Do you mean to imply that you have zero problem with this?

When you watch a big cat torture and eat a prey animal, do you not have any sense at all that maybe the prey would prefer that not to happen? Or that, all else being equal, if the tiger could eat something that doesn’t seem to mind being eaten, that would be at least as good for everyone?

Like, obviously we can’t really do anything about that without killing all the cats, which we don’t really like any better, and even that would probably end up killing all the prey species too... so we’re kind of stuck with things this way.

But — again, genuinely asking — does the intractability of that problem really force you, personally, to assign zero moral weight to the experience of animals? Or do you sincerely just... not care?

You argue philosophy (religion is a philosophy like any other in my book) but an existentialist would tell you that the morality of eating meat is purely an artificial construct: the animal simply exists and the actions of killing the animal and eating it are just actions.

Or, to put it more bluntly: you can't prove that eating animals (or gay sex, for that matter) are the "wrong" choices to make, no matter how much philosophy you've read or argued about. You can't even prove you exist or that this is reality. If you can't even prove that, you're a long way from proving that killing animals is a moral choice.

Woah, this is a really cool idea. I'm a huge fan of games like these--stuff like Life is Strange, Coming Out Simulator [1], and Bury me, my Love [2].

This also has great potential for Silicon Valley-esque (the show) commentary on the tech landscape. I loved the pretend stack, how OverReact was released two weeks ago, and how the entire game is a Slack workspace!

Are you planning on turning this concept into a full game?

> What business is it of the company what kind of food I eat?

They aren't policing employees' eating habits or anyone else's. They've just decided not to spend company funds on meat.

There are valid social, political, and environmental reasons to avoid most or all meat. A company should be able to decide not to spend their money on something both ethical and socially beneficial that won't harm anyone else in the process.

> How will they even know what you ate?

Some restaurants have line items, but most likely this is a marketing tactic more than a rigid policy that will be easily or thoroughly enforced.

> Some cities simply don't cater to the vegan market on a large scale. Sometimes you don't have as much of a choice what restaurant you're going to.

Where did you get vegan? They seem to be allowing expensing of vegetarian food.

And when do people not get to choose where they eat? And when they do, why would it be a place that serves zero vegetarian options?

Also, they seem to be pursuing a pescetarian policy (no mammals or birds, but fish are OK).
So you already hit the nail on the head. You say "This does not fit normal VC deal structure." That generally means you are going to have to create a whole new funding market to get that 10MM you are looking for. The important part is why.

The reason this doesn't work for VCs is because their model works and works well. They want enough risk to allow for a substantial level of potential upside, with a reduced amount of time (and therefore risk) to see results. So basically they are fine with relatively small amounts of money going into relatively small SaaS products as long as those products have some users, some revenue, and a path to higher profitability.

You are asking for a relatively large sum of money, for a very high risk project. Your project is high risk because it has absolutely zero customers, a long lead time for any sort of results, and has an absolutely giant competitor that owns a massive market segment. With zero customers, we have no idea how long it will take you to get to any sort of profitability. With no product built and with a long lead time to build any sort of product we don't know if you'll really build the right thing to get to profitability (and, neither do you, even if you think you do). Finally, you admit you have a giant competitor that owns the market. You can get past that but it will be potentially really costly and risky.

At the VC I work with, there wouldn't be a lot of interest in any of that. It's not because you don't have a good idea. It's also not because you aren't right that there is a market there and that you might be able to take it over. Those are all true and I believe you. The problem is $10MM is a lot of money and can be used in numerous other potential investments which have less risk and could do quite well.

So what should you do? If you really want to do it, I would look at how Elon Musk built SpaceX and Tesla. First, come up with another idea, make that successful, make quite a bit of money, then fund this project with your own money and the money of the people you gain new relationships with. This might sound silly but it's really not. If you can build this company, first build one that is less lucrative but still successful, then build this one. It happens more often than you think.
But dairy and eggs are part of a normal vegetarian diet. You worded it as if they are not.
Why are other forms of compensation (e.g. covering business expenses, or insurance) not equivalent to wages?

That is his point.
I really don't understand the moral argument for vegetarianism that excludes seafood. There are plenty of fish and marine invertebrates that are as smart/sentient/feeling as a chicken or cow. In many cases the environmental impact of their take is also much worse.
Embrace the Continuous Delivery Culture by Doing Things That Don't Scale
The president is a subject of the probe, which is the ambiguous position of possibly being a witness or eventually becoming a target.

As for active collaboration? The DAG Rod Rosenstein told Trump these indictments were coming and their nature. And today Trump decides not to push back on Putin/Russia for these actions, but he impugned Robert Mueller with "rigged witch hunt" claims. Again. That is giving aid and comfort to Putin/Russia by papering over, giving them cover for, attacks/crimes on the United States, its people, its institutions, and at least two candidates.

He has been doing a variation on this for two years: maybe they did it, maybe they didn't, Putin denies it so we should believe that because Putin is a good guy and we should just get along, and maybe it was China and maybe it was a 400 pound fat man in a bed.

And what he is doing is two fold: Demanding Americans believe Trump over Mueller, which is hilarious, insane, and ridiculous. But that's just what this presidency has mostly given us in spades. And then demanding that American believe Putin over Mueller and U.S. intelligence agencies!

Trump says he will "ask the question" again to Putin. The false premise is that there is even a question but that too is active collaboration with Russia by accepting that Putin has a more reliable answer to give than Trump's own intelligence service, and his own DOJ, and the special counsel.

Active collaboration is happening in broad daylight.
I really liked this article and I'm disappointed that he felt he had to block HN. There's an old saying:

For home decor it is kind of amazing. Some of the higher quality knock off brands have become good products in their own right.

My floor lamp is a knock off of a famous designer lamp. The particular knock off I have is rather desirable, to the point that other companies are making inferior knock offs of it!

Searching through the gunk is incredibly time consuming though.

How to fix your credit report
was looking for someone to remove some negative items from my credit report. I hired national credit care on the recommendation of a mortgage broker and so far they haven’t done jack. My scores were fluctuating between 560 and 700 it was crazy, I was getting really frustrated waiting for national credit care. That was when I did some digging and found out about a white hacker called Creditcloud. I read some amazing reviews about his work online. I quickly emailed him at ;creditprohack@cyberservices.com asking about his services and if he could fix mine. . He replied and after discussing the process, we moved on and guess what? He actually fixed my credit and raised my score to 779. All debts were checked as paid and the late payments appeared as on time payment. He deleted the inquires and other negative items on my report. His services were spot on, I initially had my fears but I was so excited when I saw my new score, just what he said it would be I so thankful to him he did an amazing job. If you need help with your credit, he is your guy. +1 4703976396.
I still don't see how this should require nested cons-es and 3 different types of enclosing braces.

Not only that, but you have redundancy between the ,(+ p n) part of the pattern and the emitted result of [p (+ p n)].

Point being: I applaud the attempt here, but it's not something I'll ever want to use.
That's funny, I've been following my passions and now I'm a data scientist.

I can split my friends into two groups: those that followed their passions and are happy, and those that did not and have loans for silly things, egos that depend on their career, and a consistent need for validation by society.

Following your passion isn't about instant gratification, perhaps people are disappointed by this.

> it's just an emotional response. It doesn't mean anything, and can't be used to support or detract from anything in terms of what is true.

Emotional responses are more important for your belief system and vice versa than you seem to realize. "what is true" is based on your belief system. It may not seem visible, but all those small interactions shape our emotions and belief system.

It's like training data for a neural network which has functional components and meta-learning capabilities (this is essentially what a brain is). Saying "this training data doesn't affect my neural network" or "this part (emotions) of my neural network doesn't affect another part (reasoning)" is not correct when training neural networks. Why would you assume that this is any different for your biological neural network? Every interaction shapes your brain, however small it seems.
I'd be interested to know how these $60 phones perform compared to a 9 year old Motorola Droid. Obviously, the level of content 9 years ago was at least an order of magnitude less than today, but how much of these devices slowness is content vs delivery technology? Is it because web apps are dynamic instead of static? Is it a matter of framework bloat? What is really the root cause of the terrible performance?

Another vote for re-assessing this job and whether it is a good fit for you. I can vouch from personal experience that things that kill your soul have a huge effect from which it is sometimes difficult to bounce back. Many of these places count on your presumably youthful and abundant energy to ride to their dreams but by burning out, you may never be able to get to yours.

We all get one life in our current form and the challenge in this world, just like those standardized exams, is to figure out what is good/relevant and what is not - you are already ahead if you identified the not-good/irrelevant so toss it and go find something that is good for you instead. Edit: I would advise though that rebound is a thing so don't jump too hastily into a worse position - advice from trusted mentors is friends is what you need to either see the value in the current role and/or a future opportunity.
I did an experiment similar to this a few years back, but I lasted about six months. After touchscreen on my iPhone 6 Plus died prematurely two days after the warranty expired, and neither Apple nor Verizon would help, I decided to simply forgo owning a smartphone for a while. I used one on WiFi only, and went back to an LCD flip phone from 2002. This worked great, except people kept complaining that they couldn’t text me. I try to get sms set up, but they said my phone was too old to work with their current network.

Then I moved somewhere new and wanted to do some dating. It was obvious I was going to need a real phone. I bought a Kyocera Hydro for $40. It has similar specs to the device in the review - 1 GB ram, 1 GB clock speed, 2 MP camera: https://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/kyocera/hydroreach/Ky...

My first impression was that it was amazing to get a device like this for $40, if you put it in a perspective from 5 or 15 years ago. Out of the box, though, the system couldn’t keep up with typing. Simply entering text was a strain on the processor. In general though, it seemed roughly as capable as an iPod Touch G4, though with inferior system software, but less capable than a Samsung Galaxy S3. I would complain about the buggy firmware and apps but it seems no worse than Motorola or Samsung, who are each poor in the regard compared to Apple. The main drawback was the camera. Battery life on it is still better than my current iPhone. Reception is poor.

To make a long story short, after using the phone for six months, I realized that I should’ve just bought an iPhone 4s for $50. I would have had at the least a good camera and OS updates.
I went through that process. After I stopped buy good phones subsidized by the phone company & started paying full retail phones upfront, I became less interested in having a top of the line phone. I just don't wanna fork out $900 for any phone. I bought two versions of a sub-$100 phone, they both sucked and/or were defective in some way. I bought a $240, and it was OK, but I was constantly fishing for an excuse to get rid of it. I finally came to the conclusion that I had to spend about at least $400 for a phone I'd be happy with (I wanted new + 32GB internal storage + not-crappy camera + removable battery). That strategy has worked well for me so far!
While I don't think this "forces" a vegetarian diet on the employees, it is placing the employees in a situation where their company is promoting a particular ideology/lifestyle/diet through financial motivation. Dining is generally reimbursed during business travel due to the (often significant) increased cost of having to exclusively dine out, so the option for the employee is to eat vegetarian or accept additional personal finance costs. (I would also question the feasibility of finding vegetarian options all the time, but that might be due to my work travel sometimes taking me to more rural areas).

The question then becomes, is it acceptable for a business to use monetary incentive/disincentive to encourage lifestyle or ideological changes in it's employees?

IMO the problem with Haskell isn't syntax, it's jargon. Not only is the jargon dense, heady, and ubiquitous, but (in my limited understanding) it also doesn't necessarily correspond cleanly to math concepts of the same name.

I guess you could say that jargon is just another form of syntax.

It is interesting. Believing one's own eyes grounds individuals to a reasoning system that is directly connected to truth - their own direct experience of their existence. It's terrifying to think some people intentionally try to override that system with the intent to control, without true care for the individual.
I just looked over my account again, and realized I had actually created it in 2008 and had been reporting the occasional bug with it over the years. So we're talking a 10 year old account that shows a definite pattern of use - just maybe not the pattern Github envisions as being their ideal customer.

You're handwaving right now. You can't know which part of the distribution you're in until it's over. I've provided quite a bit of evidence, as well. There are some forward looking statements for which there is no hard evidence, but only because there cannot yet be any.
