This is the anti-humanistic mindset that prioritizes "no impact" on nature above all else, instead of prioritizing human well being / human flourishing, which itself would account for environmental stewardship, but not to the level of sacrificing health to avoid eating animals (the healthiest option).

Let's do it gradually, first move to eating beef: less killed lives per lb of meat.

> the default

You're talking about something else completely. There is no default morality. If morality is a choice to make then it is not a default behavior. I'm responding to the question asked while you're propping your moral choice above the observed natural behavior of other species. I didn't even begin to discuss the morality of eating meat.
Seems like a breach of contract to me.

Ants farm aphids.
Re: why not "animals that eat other animals," the burden of proof here is with meat-eaters (those against killing people at least). There's a special status we afford to ourselves as humans, so why do we so easily accept the privileges of it, but raise objections when it comes with additional moral responsibilities?

As for the default, I think a simple way to put it is, "you don't have to eat meat."
> that staff will not be able to expense any meals that include poultry, pork or red meat

That is absurd. Imagine the opposite (a company only allowed expensing meat meals) and the amount of blowback, PR nightmare, and internet outrage. The hypocrisy continues.

It depends on the situation - would you be worse off with unemployment mentally? I would recommend getting another job lined up first. I know in my case lack of a mental challenge created a nasty feedback loop leaving me too dismotivated to start a helpful side project and made me worse at interviewing.

I have found it helpful to try to be open to yourself about your emotions and not holding back as much as you can get away with. Repression is a bad move for depression. Is it the hours? The pointlessness? Feeling that on some level working there is betraying your ideals? Lack of a social connection?

The root or excaberator is generally personal. For instance I have heard many accounts of superficial success but persistent depression until they realized they were living in the closet. Meanwhile others seem to truly lack an underlying cause other than brain chemistry going rogue.

"The company estimates that the policy will save 445.1m pounds of CO2 emissions ... by 2023." That's 202,000 kt over a 5-year plan.

Global fuel-based emissions in 2015: 36,061,710 kt CO2.

In other words, they think they are so important as to "save" about 0.1% of global CO2 annually just by refusing to include meat in the menu of their own events and employee-expensed meals. I doubt the magnitude of their estimates.

I don't know that I fully agree with the parent's logic (despite the fact that I actually am a vegetarian), but I think the rationale to his argument is that humans are able to survive without meat (unlike cats, lions, or tigers), and we also have the ability to realize that we are able to avoid meat. Cats, bears, and tigers really don't have the mental faculties to know good or bad, or right and wrong, but we do (at least to some extent). If that's the case, shouldn't we avoid killing wherever possible?

Again, not sure I completely agree with the line of reasoning, but I at least see the point.

Since I published my article on ZWC [1] I've been scanning different parts of the net for their use after hearing about their use in Eve Online.

I've found them being used for quite some time, even here on HN. I think spammers are using them to get around spam filters because the context that they're using them for doesn't usually seem like they've been inadvertently fingerprinted. It seems like they're sending the same message over and over again on things like hiring threads for HN. I wish I had more time to dig into it, but there are too many more important things going on right now.

A company that Amazon can learn a lot from is JD.com in regards to counterfeit items and customer trust. When you buy a product using JD backed shipping, you are guaranteed to get a real product, which is especially important in a country like China where authenticity is extremely coveted in a world of frauds/fakes.

It might not be as highly held in people's minds here in the US, but I still think there's a limit, and Amazon has definitely crossed it at this point. Continuing to allow the amount of counterfeit goods that currently circulates throughout their warehouses will permanently stain Amazon's reputation if something isn't done soon. Trust is difficult build up, and almost impossible to regain once lost.

Arrogant and offending, how? Who is it offending? How is it arrogant?

Arrogant maybe if it said "the best." But it didn't, it said "ours."

Offending maybe if it said "Shit legal systems." But it didn't, it said "Legal systems."

It isn't really reaching to make a few assumptions. On an English speaking website, owned by an American accelerator in California, with a majority of American users, is it hard to assume that "ours" means "American?"
Can't you have ACID with write on ram first, write on disk second, delay the commit by committing after writing on disk, and have some tolerance for the time between write on ram and write on disk? How probable is it that a crash happens in that window? The data loss would seem very minimal and rare.

And is ACID always so important for most databases? I don't think most databases in the world are related to banks or require that much guarantees and safety. Better hardware often achieves that level of safety.

Other side note, I wish there would be alternative to the SQL "english sentence" flavor of the language, so that one could give more precise parameters for querying data, instead of building a sentence query which doesn't always make a lot of sense when compared to a non-sentence programming language.

It could, and indeed there are people who hold this belief. They are called "Fruititarians" and only eat things which can be taken from the plant without killing or harming it, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruitarianism

searching the page for the word "rule" hits 13 occurrences. The only real "meat" if you can call it that surrounding what that rule is was this: Next week (July 17), EPA will hold its only public hearing on the proposed rule called “Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science.”

As far as I can see that's the only immediate information this article bothered to speak about the rule itself. Anybody see a summary on this rule to share with the crowd? Or did I miss something?

Conterfeit items are a problem. But even with legit items, I always check elsewhere: quite often, Amazon is not the cheapest.

For items fulfilled by other vendors, I google that vendor's name, see if they have a site. Usually, even with shipping it's cheaper on the vendor's site than on Amazon (I guess that's the fee levied to sell on Amazon, and the rounding involved to do "free shipping").

Amazon excels at convenience, reviews and return policy. Often they are great on pricing. But they are no longer my one-stop shop.

It's funny to observe the criticism on a technical forum that should be in tune with the data. WeWork is setting a policy that is on the right side of history—for animals and the environment. I didn't see a lot of criticism on Starbucks straw decision. However, when the cost is a sacrifice closer to home, even when logic doesn't support the whining, so many try to find fault with a company decision that is net positive.

It's because anti-trust laws aren't well-equipped to deal with modern monopolies.

the US's legal framework for anti-trust come from the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890 and the Clayton anti-trust act of 1914 (note the dates). The jurisprudence basically holds that being a monopoly isn't illegal per se, but what's illegal is abusing consumers - traditionally the cause of action in anti-trust lawsuits are that a corporation does something anti-competitive to increase prices. Facebook is mostly available at no cost to consumers (or at least, consumers don't have to pay to use the products) and so they avoid anti-trust scrutiny.

To see it in practice, check out [1]. Some Japanese auto part suppliers were acting in an anti-competitive way and what got the DOJ so chuffed was that consumers had to pay more for cars and car parts because of the behavior.

The Yale law journal has a great expose on the tension between our 19th/early-20th century understanding of abusive monopolies and the realities of 21st century commerce [2] and basically the core issue is that anti-trust laws are powerless to stop a company from acquiring the power to become an illegal/abusive monopoly.

The EU has actually been much more skeptical/hostile of the arrangement between Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp , and the best legal thinking on using anti-trust norms to break up big tech comes from the EU. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it and I'll invite any expert to weigh-in.

I think the secret to all of this is that the energy and enthusiasm of passion is ultimately overcome by pain. And pain slows us down, makes us retreat.

But if you find your work fundamentally painless, you can put any amount of passion in on top: you're still getting it done on your lowest days, and on your good ones you will cruise into exceptional output.

As such you can derive the well-known market preference for "bandaids over vitamins" from the sum total of all individuals looking for a way to take more of the pain out of their work. But the biggest optimization you can make is simply in choosing which work to do.

I absolutely agree. Fortunately, no one is doing that. WeWork employees can eat as much meat as they want. It's just that WeWork won't pay for it.

We have similar experience with StackDriver Logging. It's felt unfinished since day one. Two problems come to mind:

(1) Some time ago I needed to get a month of logs (filtered by an expression) in order to compare the logged data against a database. The Console does not have any such option. You can set up "exporting", but that only starts replication from the moment you set it up; no historical data. You can use the APIs or "gcloud beta logging read", but the performance is terrible. I got maybe 200-500KB/sec. After keeping the command running continuously for 3 days (!), I still only had 20% of the log data.

These days, we have exporting set up to pipe all the logs into BigQuery and GCS, just to get around the crappiness. That gives some query capabilities, as well as the ability to quickly grab the original data for processing with other tools.

(2) We're on GKE, and none of the container's labels end up in log entries. Surely this is pretty key stuff. There seems to be no way to customize the payloads that GKE's Fluentd sends to StackDriver.

(3) There's no way to tail logs. The gcloud command doesn't have it, and the Console doesn't either. It feels like such a missed opportunity.

I think Google would be better off ditching StackDriver Logging entirely and instead let the user set up rules to send logs to different services that actually work. The default could be BigQuery. I don't understand the point of having a separate, proprietary query language for logs when you have SQL.

I've looked briefly at the other StackDriver stuff (most of which is still on stackdriver.com, always causing a confusing redirect and often re-authentication), and it's been similarly underwhelming. We use Prometheus with Grafana, and StackDriver seems pointless in comparison.

This article seems really alarmist. It seems like the argument they are making is "raw data for some of the best science needs to be kept secret".

Considering one of the tenants of the scientific method is reproducibility, how can you reproduce something if the raw data is unavailable?
The world was approxiately 100 trillion times more bleak in the 1930s and 1940s. We weren't on our way to a new dark age then either. This is an extraordinary golden age by comparison. There are no world powers currently trying to kill each other, the biggest disputes are mostly between richer nations and about trade, and those disputes are trivial compared to the past. War is rare, famine is rare, food is relatively plentiful, as is global aid, vaccines, etc. Progress across nearly all fields of science and technology continues, rapidly so.

i have often said that sometimes it's just better to go with the grain of life & interests. you can't manufacture enthusiasm for a topic, and if your enthusiasm lies in another topic or interest it is often best to pursue that. if only to let that run it's course so you're focused on what you actually want to focus on rather that that being an initial latency hit in all your thoughts that you have to proxy back to the topic you're supposed to be focused on.

although, sometimes you have to push yourself to focus on lower self-prioritized topics because of that whole paycheck thing.

Scott Pruitt denies basic climate science. But most of the outrage is missing the point. ...
It’s not about Pruitt and it’s not about facts. (from 2017)

[Complaints] are all about what Pruitt believes. And in the end, who cares what he believes? He is a functionary, chosen in part to dismantle EPA regulations on greenhouse gases. If it weren’t him, it would be some other functionary.

The goal is to block or reverse any policy that would negatively affect [conservative] donors and supporters, who are drawn disproportionately from carbon-intensive industries and regions. That is the North Star — to protect those constituencies. That means, effectively, blocking any efficacious climate policy (which, almost by definition, will diminish fossil fuels)
Not only is it terrible from a dietary standpoint, it reveals an intolerant workplace culture that I certainly wouldn't want any part of. Most of the world, and likely most of their employees, eat meat. It shows a serious lack of connection with the real world, and a willingness on the part of management to forcefully impose extreme views on a whim.

Sounds like an unhealthy place to work, even if they all become vegetarians.
Is science good (or "the best!") if the available data are not sufficient to verify the analysis? This is not a "world leader" doing anything that could be described as "shunning science".
