This is actually a good thing. Otherwise, you get laws such as "Coffee labels must have warning labels stating it might cause cancer" as California just passed because a "Scientist" mentioned that coffee might contain a carcinogen. There is no proof or verifiable data supporting it. Now the EPA cannot just ban or prohibit based off "might cause". There needs to be proof that anybody can verify.
It's immoral to kill a conscious and sentient life form for luxury, recreation, or other purposes that aren't absolutely vital to immediate survival. Eating the result is generally encouraging the killing. Of course that doesn't apply to eating an organism that died through other means, or eating synthetic meat.
I like the way you phrased that; it's perfectly neutral.

Serving food that doesn't happen to contain meat isn't forcing you to be vegetarian

Sure it is. There will be situations where employees have no choice but to eat company-sponsored food. Mandatory working lunches, dinner with potential clients (I’d love for them to take me to dinner as a potential client/partner and tell me I can’t order a steak...), etc. In those situations, they are indeed “forcing you to be a vegetarian”.
> one of the negatives of looking through one's personal experience

So your anecdote trumps mine? Sorry, but no. Sounds like you had a worse-than-normal experience. That's bad, but it doesn't change the fact that the environment at the time didn't lend itself to serious trolling. There was less persistence or verification of identity, for example. Finding out who "Alba Troll" on M-Net was, or "Burrito" on LambdaMOO, would have been non-trivial, and so would finding an address for that person (me BTW). Now just about anyone can find my real name on Facebook, and map that real name to a real address, in seconds. That's a huge difference. What's funny is that we're having this discussion on HN, under pseudonyms, which makes it much more like the old 'net than a lot of other places. And not surprisingly, the rampant trolling here has a different flavor than the trolling elsewhere.
> I don't see why they would risk that for a cause entirely unconnected to their business

Maybe they just really believe in it.
Squid are pretty smart, too, so probably should be included if one is using intelligence as a grounds for deciding what is food.
Alright, you call false equivalence, I call petty fogging if you need your analogies to be perfect.

So to make it a proper example: what if your employer had a job benefit to reimburse gas & electric car expenses to visit clients, and then later decided to stop reimbursing gas.

Also, considering WeWork is taking this stance, if a WeWork boss takes you to a restaurant whose only vegetarian option is a garden salad, then she's totally trolling you.

edit: updating my analogy since i can't reply to your nested comment (not sure why)
Reproducibility doesn't require the original data set to be present, only that the method of conducting that particular study reproducible. There are huge differences.
Lithium ion batteries are another example of this. Used batteries 're-wrapped' in counterfeit labeling to look like some particular brand/model are probably more common than genuine products on Amazon.

More often than not, buying batteries through Amazon is literally paying someone to ship their e-waste to you.

A big part of the problem is co-mingled inventory. When you buy X from seller Y, you do not necessarily get the X that Y physically shipped to Amazon. You get an X with same SKU from Amazon's collection.
To be fair Amazon also "guarantees" you won't receive conterfeits, you can return a counterfeit and get your money back.
But when you're buying an item it always shows who the seller is, just don't purchase the item if it doesn't show the actual brand of company vs. some random seller name. I've never purchased a scam item from Amazon and I've had an account since 1999.
That's what session affinity is for. I'm pretty ok with 5 seconds delay between adding something to the cart on my laptop and it appearing on my phone. Or, you may do user affinity and I'll have both the same second, but my latency will go bad the first day I travel overseas.
There's a balance to be struck.

Not finishing things, or getting deep into a subject, can be frustrating. A hobby can be a source of novelty, but often what we seek is a degree of mastery or depth of study.

I think the real problem is when you get to a point of real challenge in something, and then abandon it. There's a lot of value and learning that comes from confronting difficult problems. I think that this frustration is often what is at issue in questions like this.

On the other hand, these are hobbies, and you should have some freedom to abandon and take them up again at your leisure. Otherwise it can simply be work or drudgery.

Some tips:

* Do sometimes commit to reaching a checkpoint. Something tangible and satisfying once complete. These should be chosen carefully, however, as something too ambitious can turn unpleasant and overwhelming. A first woodworking project should be something like a cutting board, not an armoire, for instance.

* Also allow yourself to play and experiment without focus on the final product. Be critical of what actually warrants discipline.

* Recognize when you're simply looking for novelty or the attraction of new 'stuff'. If you have the means and don't mind having lots of unused stuff around, then it's not such an issue, but I think most people find this sort of 'hobby detritus' to be unpleasant. The simple thing to do is to put off purchases or research until later; if you lose interest so easily, it's not worth pursing.

* Focus on one habit at a time. If regular practice is required, have some humility about how great a commitment this can be.
That's a real stretch.

If the company refused to pay for an escort, they aren't forcing me to be celibate. They aren't affecting my identity they are just choosing not to pay for a certain act.
>Never mind the joke being on the Russians as Trump is turning out to be several times tougher on them than Hillary would likely have been, even going so far as to start threatening their European gas pipelines.

That's odd. During the campaign, I distinctly remember Hillary being described as an insane bloodthirsty war hawk who was going to plunge us into World War 3 against Russia at the first opportunity, and Trump as the reasonable man who understood Russia and just wanted to do business.
time for anti-trust suit??
Is this the same conversation we're going to have when the company says no IUD costs can come from your health insurance plan?
Again, false equivalence. I’m not being forced to use either form of energy. However, as an employee at WeWork, there are situations where I would be forced to eat WeWork-sponsored meals, to which this policy applies.

Edit: Since my comment no longer makes sense because you completely changed yours long after I replied to it (not a cool thing to do), I think your electric/gas car analogy would be extremely problematic and would likely result in lawsuits. As you know, most cars are gas-based. If it is customary for WeWork to reimburse employees for work-related transportation expenses, and they then changed that policy to favor employees with electric cars, they'd be sued (and rightfully so). The rules are theirs to set - they can either pay for this category of expense or not - but they can't discriminate. I'd imagine that even this vegetarian policy will meet with a few lawsuit threats, but it's so ridiculous that I think they would quietly cave before any suit was actually filed. Imagine trying to justify the cost of defending such a suit to your investors. I'd love to sit in on that meeting.
> But most of the time, people just search for something, buy it, and are satisfied, never having to consider whether it was only fulfilled by Amazon.

What’s your basis for this? Just the fact that Amazon is so successful? What if that success is in spite of the third party sellers and not because of them?

I know my own personal experience with Amazon over the last few years has been feeling like I’m trying to outsmart the website which is constantly trying to direct me to buy from sources I don’t trust.

As a result I am more and more hesitant to turn to Amazon than I was years ago.

Is my case the common case or is your hypothetical one? I don’t know that we can say. But I think as more people get burned by bad actors they will become less likely to use the site. My basis for this is eBay, which is a shadow of its former self. Being over taken in many areas by niche sites that specialize in a certain market and are at least perceived as more trustworthy. (E.g. Reverb for musical instruments.)
It does not rely on Docker. On a Linux system you can use the build tools and there's no dependence on Docker at all, it uses chroot's for its isolated "studio" build environments. The mac and windows habitat clients use Docker to create a Linux-like environment

One of the key innovations in habitat is that it gives you reliable dependency isolation WITHOUT needing the runtime isolation of containers to achieve it. Containers become optional.

A habitat build artifact can be installed and run natively on nearly _any_ POSIX system, the state of the system doesn't matter and you get the same behavior top-to-bottom. There are a number of "exporters" available to repackage build artifacts into different runtime formats -- Docker container is just one option

Where I work we have agressive linters and auto-format-on-build in every project. I'll never ever go back. God knows how many bugs the linters have caught, maybe half. And no whitespace diffs because formatters.

I don't know how so many places I worked before used neither. Now it just seems reckless
I'd be happy to take out a $100 bet, but I would probably want to lean towards the 100 year end of the prediction, and it's unlikely both of us will be alive in 100 years.

>Isn’t the trend for meat consumption to increase with wealth so as the world develops, more meat will be consumed.

Note I said "American companies", not companies around the world. I don't think my prediction will hold when applied to the entire world. I believe that within 200-300 years at the latest, there will be a strong cultural taboo in Western countries around hunting, meat farming, and eating "real meat". I figure synthetic and analogue meat will still be very popular. I don't think meat will be outlawed, but I sincerely think most people will treat meat-eaters like how most people currently treat neo-Nazis.
> Should we force WeWork leadership, despite their rights to hold moral positions, to pay for something they don't want to pay for?

I'm pretty sure this is the exact argument by social conservatives when it comes to mandated birth control coverage (not taking a stance simply stating a fact).

Another point, not related to my response, is that non-meat dishes at a restaurant are similarly priced to some meat dishes, like a club sandwich and a salad. So the argument from a price standpoint is moot imo.

I can understand not wanting to do it at company sponsored events but seems wack to not do it for an individual's meal. I think this will promote shaming on employees who eat meat.
Is Facebook an NIHS (Not Invented Here Syndrome) sufferer?
Have you technical geniuses figured out that lawyers can write restrictions in a way that sounds reasonable (to get them to pass) and then go on to enforce policy in quite a different way, much later ? Is it not obvious that 'environmental protection' costs money and may prevent some company from making more money ? The US EPA is a number-one target for decades, for these reasons. Many US lawyers are paid very, very well to represent the interests of their commercial employers, which likely does not include any consideration of actual long-term harm.
It sounds as if the requirement is to make the data available for anyone to reproduce the analysis.

It's not a bad goal, though making data public is always a bit tricky when data collected from human beings is involved.
Itanium does this automatically. You declare what registers you're using in the the function prologue and it handles popping/pushing/renaming. No register window exceptions too.
> Nothing in the proposed rule compels the disclosure

This is blatant disingenuousness. What they are saying is "you need not disclose private information, but we won't use your study if you don't".
>Amazon doesn't even have a polish website, as amazon.pl redirects to amazon.de

Someone at Amazon needs to understand what the single market is. amazon.eu is an institutional site when it should be their only european site. When I want to buy something on amazon I end up looking at all of UK/FR/ES/DE/IT at least. They will all happily ship to me with all sorts of combinations of item price and shipping cost. And then logistically I believe they will ship from wherever it's convenient. So they've artificially segmented the market for no reason, giving me a poorer experience in the process.
It doesn't really work that way. It takes more than having once eaten a single grilled cheese sandwich to qualify as a vegetarian.
Growth Hacks Facebook Group
Now the problem is starting to get mass attention outside of tech. I understand that this is a hard problem but it's been years now and there's no solution in sight. The practice of mixing the same products from different vendors just needs to end.

Key normal person quote from the podcast:

"It just feels like this magic store that you guys thought it was, is definitely isn't what it is today. It seems like a place that puts you in touch with some dude selling tongs in Hong Kong, and maybe you'll get a great pair or maybe you'll get ripped off. [Amazon] is just like any other website now"

This mixed with their now crippled customer service has almost turned the Amazon experience into ebay.
Then again, the reason "pro life" exists as a term is to imply that the other side is "anti life" or "pro death."

I may have engaged in hyperbole but this particular issue is still legendary for the intransigence on both sides.
These standards are no different than any reputable scientific journal.

Try and publish a paper in Nature and tell them “I can’t share the data”.
We tested this on the vMVPDs in the US (YouTube TV, DIRECTV NOW, Sling, etc.).

https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/specs#live-...

Most of the services were around 30 second delays, with the best being around 15 seconds and the worst around 60 seconds.

At this point there needs to be a technology shift if its going to get any better than about 10 seconds.

It even varies by device. iOS defaults to 10 second chunks, but you can reliably get it down to 6 seconds. You generally need to store at least 2 chunks or you'll have bad buffering.

This isn't about where HN is headed. There has been a social shift happening in many countries in the last few years where veganism has stopped being a fringe movement and is entering the Overton window. You should expect to see more and more articles like this in the media, and to see increasingly positive reactions towards them.

I think it sounds great. Reproducability and verifiability are extremely import in scientific research. Unlike what this article and some people here claim, it does make provisions for protecting the privacy of users. I also don't see anything hinting that it will affect past studies retroactively.

My only complaint is that it targets the EPA specifically, which is pretty suspicious with the current political situation. It would be great if this affected all studies which receive public funding.
If it were me, I'd just quit. Fuck. That. Shit.

Life is too short to be depressed, or so much as be bored or at a dead end.

If your company doesn't align with your values, then all the more reason to leave.

If you have some personal projects you want to work on, build up some funds so you con quit and comfortably take a sabbatical and then spend some time applying for positions in the latter half of it.

Do you have family and friends? Chances are at least one of them will help you if times get tough. If you have a support network, remember that you can use it.

If you are crying at work, that means your job isn't as valuable as you think it is. It probably sucks.

If you have sick time, use a bunch of it so you can calm down and rationally decide what your exit strategy will be.

By the way, I recently quit my job with nothing lined up. The company was great, but I had personal projects I wanted time for and needed a change. This is a thing people do, and they usually survive it. Don't buy the social pressure that says working hard is a virtue in and of itself, or that you're a bum because you quit for your own health and are "unemployed".

One day not too long from now, you'll look back at this job and wonder why you put up with it for so long.
No they aren’t. They are saying “we already have ways of sharing data and not violating privacy”.
I don't know or have heard of anyone who had a passion for a well paid/achievable career and decided to do retail instead because they believed the career might hamper their enjoyment of hobbies.
Isn't it the other way around? Command line params are more than env vars and so on?
The messed up thing is that I ordered a product SOLD AND SHIPPED BY AMAZON.COM and it was counterfeit. That's the day I stopped buying stuff for my kid on Amazon. Now I drive to Target and waste an hour each time but it's better than using some counterfeit product on her.
How did they decide which ones to add? :)
HN downvoting is stupid. they should remove it, or make it cost in their own karma.
Would either you, or the post above you, mind sharing where you ended up getting your sheets from?

My wife is obsessed with nice sheets, but feels like what we got from Amazon isn't what they said it was. I didn't even realize until now, how that might be true. So I'd like to buy some nice sheets from a reputable source. I don't mind waiting for shipping.
> In an email to employees this week outlining the new policy, co-founder Miguel McKelvey said the firm’s upcoming internal "Summer Camp" retreat would offer no meat options for attendees.

Unlike some commenters, I'm okay with this! But the carbon cost of flying thousands of their employees on transatlantic return flights to the UK for this Summer Camp will be orders of magnitude greater than the carbon cost of any food choices, so it seems like an insincere concern.
Fixing this is trivial, tell comingling sellers to QRcode all the merchandise, scan when adding inventory, penalize/kick out sellers playing label games (wrong/ missing QR codes), penalize/kick out sellers with counterfeit product/brick filled box returns.

I can see why you'd sometimes want less isolation (although things like docker-compose runs fine from a docker container). But how is it "lighter" than a container? Aren't you striving for self-contained executables? What do you leave out of a XAR that you'd want to put into a container?

What evidence do you have for this? Along with the environmental devastation and the obscene cruelty of factory farming, the overwhelmingly negative health effects of meat and dairy consumption are the third pillar in the triumvirate of reasons to go vegan, or at the very least to limit and reduce consumption of animal products. For example, the World Health Organization classifies processed meats (bacon, salami etc) as group 1 carcinogens, meaning they are known to cause cancer. Processed meats may be the worst, but the health impacts of other meats and dairy products aren't a whole lot better. Combine those facts with the plethora of meat substitutes and plant-based dining options now available, and plant-based diets are increasingly becoming an easy and obvious choice.
>An unindexed join will have major performance problems, and look exactly like an indexed join.

Then add an index.

Its not exactly difficult in a database. Using a database without indexes is kind of stupid. Why would you do that?

And personally I find SQL to be one of the easiest languages to read. I agree that it's kind of back to front in many ways, but its way easier than trying to work out what happening in some nested loops that someone else has written.
My statement is exclusionary of synthetic meat. I was referring to "real meat".

It's fascinating. EPA says "we won't consider your research unless it's done in open and reproducible fashion so that other people can verify your results and reproduce the conclusions" and people hear "we hate science and want to undercut research". Amazing.
I just realized for the first time, typing this comment, that I could order online from Target, and I've never tried it. Shows you how dominant of a position in e-commerce Amazon has. I'll have to try it.
I'd say it's really about size. A few dozen configs in environmental vars, sure. But once you expand beyond that, need to manage variants of them, need to compose them from fragments you start to see benefits from something more structured like xml, toml, json, or yaml etc.
