I tried Minke whale when I was in Iceland. Unfortunately for them, they taste very good - Maybe the best meat I've tried. It's like a cross between beef and tuna but with a deep, complex (and very slightly gamey) aftertaste. It was surprisingly cheap too.

In spite of this, I'm not sure I would eat it again though; while eating it, I kept getting flashbacks of a video I saw of a whale being harpooned and pulled out of the water with blood everywhere.

Rationally though, I don't know if eating whales is more immoral than eating other animals. On the plus side, if you kill a single whale, you can feed a lot of people; you could save several dozens of cows... Not to mention that you're saving the lives of millions of krill that would have been eaten by the whale that day.

So if you're a shrimp sympathizer, then you should consider whaling a good thing. Personally, I can relate to feeling small and defenseless in this world so I can sympathize with the shrimp on some level.
Yeah unfortunately some dumbass built all the roads so they go through multiple cities.
No, but animal agriculture (via disproportionate habitat destruction) threatens the extinction of many species.
what was the editor that reversed vims syntax/grammar?

instead of d2w (delete two words) you could type something like w2d (words, two, delete). This way you can select first, modify later and most importantly guide visually before execution.

I think you where able to type something like w2u3d (words, two, no undo it's actually 3 i see now, yes delete those).

I wished evil emacs did that. I mostly use org-mode and do little programming and I constantly get the number of words to delete wrong.

edit: I think I just need to learn to use visual mode more and be quire alright already

That is an adjustment of relative prices, inflation is the generalized increase in nominal prices of all goods.

There is something called "asset inflation" but its not a correct terminology.
I have worked with people like that. They are really good for prototyping new stuff. But you definitely don't want their code go straight into a long term code base.

While I agree with everything you just said, it seems to be true that in China you can get arrested for basically arbitrary reasons if someone doesn't like you. While it's not one man saying "I am the law", there is still a group saying it, and that group is the bureaucracy.
The write lifespan in DWPD on any sd card is a tiny fraction of the expected lifespan of even a cheap $55 consumer SSD.

Part of the problem is that even if you only write 1GB per day the card is highly likely to reuse the same sectors over and over.
The underlying Windows platform still allows for external installs. And the other big names, EA and Ubisoft, already operate their own storefronts.

Android technically allows for the same, see the existence of f-droid for example, but the experience is less smooth (more dialogs to tap through) than when using Google Play.
Okay, so in America, African Americans commit more than 200 murders every year.

Presumably, you're on-board for an ethnic-purge because of this.

Fucking listen to yourself. You stand behind the incarceration of an entire race of millions of people, all because a handful of people of the same race committed some acts of violence.

Get a fucking grip. This is Nazi-level atrocious, and you should feel awful for allow yourself to fall into this kind of hateful worldview.
This would be a better argument if a major world power hadn't actively undermined all attempts at socialism.

Another meaning behind OP's comment might be that you can eat food that is equally as tasty as meat, without eating meat or meat replacements. Obviously this wouldn't work for 50+ years since we're all entrenched in eating meat, but vegetarian dishes /can be/ just as tasty. I'd imagine hundreds of years of improving mostly meat dishes has made them better, but that could be fixed.
Clock's been ticking for a long while now on Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. When will you give up waiting for these socialist states to collapse?
Specific lanes for citizens of the country have existed for a very long time, but the article calls the issue out as having mostly arisen in the last three years. Seems unlikely that a thing that had already been there for decades has caused the (apparently) sudden decline.
You can release an executable that can run on Windows, Linux, or OS X without Steam. You can't release an executable that can run on iOS or Android without going through the App Stores.
All socialist and fascist states, even while suppressing markets was causing starvation, allowed some cronies to maintain businesses. That's where Putin got his start, for instance.

China isn't organized by any free trade principles, they've just formalized their black markets and cronyism.

> It's more like a giant bureaucracy. They have a process, they have regular handovers of power. It's not "I am the law".

You're writing this on an article titled, "China’s Mass Internment Camps Have No Clear End in Sight," with the subtext, "Around 1 million Uighurs have disappeared without trial. Worse may come."

FTR Ireland is not in Schengen either. But it shares a land border with UK, and one country joining Schengen and the other not would be a silly idea.

The article doesn't say that 1 human = 100GB anywhere. It does say a reference genome is ~1GB, which sounds similar to a zipped FASTA.

500k humans would make this 400TB of data. Really not that much, especially compared to the $500 million dollars it would take to sequence all those humans at $1,000 each.
Dual licensing doesn't stop anything that AGPL doesn't stop if downstream users are fine with the AGPL. It only helps monetize those users that are not willing to pay money to get out of AGPL requirements. So, if the problem is big cloud vendors selling services around AGPL software (which it expressly is) while complying with AGPL requirements, AGPL with a proprietary alternative doesn't solve anything.

You need a license which expressly prohibits the use at issue unless a deal involving payment is made, hence, the Commons Clause.
It seems to be more like 1.5GB rather than 100 GB, and someone else commented that compressed is around 800 MB.

https://bitesizebio.com/8378/how-much-information-is-stored-...

Even at 1.5 GB, this doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem at the current cost of storage.

750,000 GB = 750 TB, and you can buy an 8 TB hard drive for $150. So for $15,000 you can store 500,000 human genomes.

If $15,000 is too expensive for a company, that company is doing something very wrong, when any salary will be many multiples of that.
We don't just condemn Japan for eating whales and dolphins, we already banned them from doing so. Instead Japan claims the whales they're killing are for "scientific research", which is bull and they're clearly in total violation of international accords. But the widespread international condemnation has caused Japan to double down on their whaling industry, as a symbolic attack on outsiders who they view as destroying their 'traditional values'. This is why, despite being a very tiny part of the Japanese diet, the Japanese government supports its whaling industry and keeps it from being shuttered.

>My head spins about how schizophrenic the vast majority of the population is when it comes to meat consumption and love of animals.

People want cute things to live, and don't care what hell ugly creatures endure. It's a fairly consistent position, if rather vapid and aesthetist.

This case is a perfect example: Whales are cute, so we're quite cross at Japan for eating them. But blue fin tuna are ugly, and so despite being much more threatened and a much larger part of the japanese diet, no one really cares.
Not refuting your comment at all, but I just want to point out one thing. If even 1% of a population is bad, 1% of a billion is 10 million. 0.1% is still a million. That's an awful lot of bad people.
> future number one market on earth

Is there an example of a western brand that has yet gained significant traction in China? My understanding is that unless you are a Chinese company, your chances of competing in this “number one” market are slim. Businesses obsess at the population numbers but ignore the reality.

It is literally the most racist thing I have ever seen posted on HN.

I don't quite understand what you mean by schizophrenic in with what you describe.

Isn't it possible it isn't a unified issue?

I grew up in a rural region and I've seen the production first hand both on medium-sized farms to single hunts.

I have had pets I've loved and watched them die and it made me sad. I also have an issue with the mass whaling because we know of the extinction risks and the goal when eating an animal isn't to wipe out the species.

I will confess, however, I haven't seen one of the American style factory farms. Any I've been to here in Canada haven't been so cold or apparently cruel and nowhere near the size and volume of production.

I live in the city now and I consider myself lucky for knowing where all of my food feasibly comes from.

For that reason I don't see it as schizophrenic or cognitive dissonance. I like to think it's an accepting awareness— I think we're still very much animals, but ones at least intelligent enough to maintain the planet in good order and to avoid cruelty (if we give a damn).

Clearly there are problems in how a lot of food production (not just meat) is carried out, and usually with a root cause of greed.

Pegging those problems to people essentially not all resigning to vegan eating makes my head spin a little.

Side question for anyone who carries your perspective: I might even agree that refraining from eating any animals is the morally superior option— but do you think we morally owe it to nature (or whatever end) to refrain more than any other animal?

>My theory on larger organizations having this issue is that there's quite a lot of bloat and a lot of fear that if you're not doing anything, you will be restructured. Personally, I don't blame the teams who act and behave in this way - I would hold the senior leadership responsible for fixing the culture. Unfortunately, most are focused on business results as opposed to fixing softer things like culture. Someone needs to make it such that visibility and accountability are just irrelevant - everyone is in it together, succeed together and fail together.

Everything you've said matches what I've seen. For the most part I don't blame the teams either, especially teams like Data Engineering/Database who get blamed for everything even though they are downstream of a lot of data providers.

>PS. Just noticed you're in data science? Funny coincidence that I am as well.

One small benefit (or curse, depends on how you look at it) being in a Data Science role is that I get visibility into a lot of the business stuff (e.g. corporate strategy) that Engineering groups (in the Engineering Org) can be isolated from. It's an interesting (also, sometimes seemingly insane) space to be in right now.

I must admit I don't know about Apple, but you can download APKs for Android that are equivalent to an executable.
I'm sure it is a thousand times slower than i++, but it should be the same code on each platform.

But you made me think: indeed, the underlying call could be slower from JS whereas from pypy/python{2,3} it's fast (or vice versa). So I just tested a version where it checks how long ten million iterations take (n=3). Code here: https://hastebin.com/uyuhecabek.py

browser/pypy 5.25 seconds
python 3.6.6 2.16 seconds
python 3.7.0 2.08 seconds
python 2.7.15 1.42 seconds
pypy 6.0.0 0.01 seconds

Since there is no syscall to be made, pypy can do this in compiled code and is blazingly fast (I bet C/assembly isn't much faster there), and the rest seems comparable to the previous estimate: the browser version is 2.25× slower compared to python3 (now 2.43×) and 3.33× slower compared to python2 (now 3.70×).

You can find some pretty awesome work on "traditional" companies. There are some pretty cutting-edge projects where I work too :) (but way more legacy migrations and boring financial CRUD apps).
It's actually suprising that people think they're not "normal" computers. I provisioned a few of them and they're little beasts. Most in use are I7, 16-32gb ram, Dual NVME. The Skulltrail nucs are extremely powerfull and on the lower end the atom based units are solid too. I also ran a nuc in my car for a while, mostly stumbling radio / wifi spectrum as I drove around, but it was perfect with its relatively low power requirements.
Not considered US territory, CBP preclearance is just that, a preclearance. It’s still under the jurisdiction of the host country. The CBP can and sometimes does conduct inspection on precleared passengers at the actual US port of entry.
The headline is a bit misleading - the author is talking about hydrogenated oils (popular brands of which include Crisco in the US, Dalda in India) and not 'normal' vegetable oils. India is one of the largest consumer of plain old vegetable oils and it is generally considered to be healthier than animal fat.
This article harkens back to discussions of the "reproducibility crisis" in science, as discussed extensively here just recently (see link below). Where, in this case, not coughing up the code used in the simulations in a timely manner led to an apparently unnecessary multi-year dispute.

The issue is that the play store is shipped as the default and many people do not know there are other options.

I have been browsing through Wikipedia articles on various types of whales recently, and I was pleasantly surprised how much some whale populations have recovered since most of the world stopped hunting them. The conservation status of humpback whales is LC ("Least concern"), gray whales, too.

It's not all good, far from it, but it is nice to know that collectively, we manage to not mess up everything we touch every once in a while.
That was the article?

They're just reporting that there is an airport that is having issues with queue size and Dallas paid for more agents?
I think otherwise your list is great. And I think if you're of a similar political persuasion as her, Bodil's a good choice as well. I enjoyed her content for a time but the constant drip of misandry and political hypocrisy got to me after a while. YMMV, maybe I'm just fragile.

I don't have a "gab.ai fp follow list" because I don't like mixing politics with programming precisely because it devolves into the kind of tribalism on display here.

I'm sorry you took offense to "these kinds of comments" but I don't see how you're entitled to put Tony Morris on blast for your experiences but I can't share my own (admittedly passive) experience with Bodil?
It's really awesome to see how far this has come. I believe we at Repl.it were the first to try something like this in production. We emscriptined CPython to JavaScript and contributed quite a bit to the project in the process (including the initial virtual filesystem implementation).

https://github.com/replit-archive/empythoned

I deployed this at scale at Codecademy were millions of users were using it to learn Python but hit a lot of problems with it. For one, if you're in a 3rd world country then the bundle size is a non-starter (this is potentially solved with WASM being a binary format). Even if you managed to download the bundle lots of old computers would run out of memory trying to parse the JS (again probably solved by the binary AST format of WASM). Because of this and a few other issues (the dev experience of emscripten was really hard) we had to move away to running code on remote containers.

Now that I'm back working on Repl.it full time I'm excited to play again with the tech and see what we can do with it this time around.
> The filing claims they did act arbitrarily and capriciously.

And that's baloney. There are arguments for and against NN, and just claiming "pooh, these other guys just saying nonsense, ignore them" is not a valid argument. It's asking the court to decide that only one side of the policy is correct, and the other side is just idiots. That's not how political decisions should be made in a democratic country.

> which completely ignores the fact that the reason they historically have not throttled people is because it was illegal

If it was illegal before 2015, then doesn't returning to pre-2015 state keep it so? In any case, if it's not illegal now, the Congress can easily make it illegal, it's not for the court to decide that though. Again, the discussion of whether we can trust providers to not throttle and whether we need government regulation to enforce that does not belong in court. It belongs in public discourse, which leads to electing representatives, which produce relevant legislation (or don't if people do not elect those representatives that want to do it).

> The actual argument is pretty technical, but that's the gist of it.

I am not nearly qualified to evaluate the technical arguments on merit, but for a common person something like "it's legal to enact NN, but it's illegal to rescind this action" sounds insane. If they just said "you're ok to remove federal NN rules, but you can't prevent us to make such rules on more local level", then they might have an argument there (though it still doesn't make that decision "arbitrary", it's just a discussion about limits of federalism in a particular case) but is that what they are arguing? I thought they are arguing for the return of federal legislation as enacted in 2015, aren't they?
I wish it was made more apparent. They made a big deal about "Bash for Windows", and that was it. I really had no idea it was literally an entire Linux distribution sitting inside Windows, with cross platform mounts and command line accessibility to either OS.
It would have to monumentally better before I'd get into one that didn't have a backup plan. The motors could be 100% reliable, but the possibility of loosing power due to maintenance or control issues remains. A perfectly good motor is useless if the cable feeding it electricity shorts out.
>It's an emergent result of letting people own themselves, property, and the fruits of their own labor while also letting them trade their property and labor.

I'm not sure what system you're talking about, but what you're describing is certainly not Capitalism or freedom. Capitalism does not give people the full fruits of their labor, it allows the owner to steal the surplus value off of the workers, creating inequality. Surplus value being the capital left once the equipment, wages, and bills have been paid, and without surplus value the business would not continue to exist. That's not exactly freedom. There's nothing in any radical left wing ideology that says you can't trade your personal property or labor, private property doesn't exist. I'm also not sure a system that requires homelessness and poverty is "freedom", or one that requires people who can't afford health insurance to purchase it or die. I'm not sure a system that puts 1 in 100 in prison based on racial profiling and petty crimes, and does nothing to help them, creating a large recidivism rate for the sole benefit of prison slave labor is called 'freedom'.

It is imperative that far left wing influences keep capitalism in check, or it will run away into pure corruption like it is now.
Doesn't Valve take 30% from games on Steam? But they're complaining Apple taking 30% is too much?

I also don't really think the Apple/Google fee is that unreasonable. Considering the resources, tools, marketplaces, tutorials, payment processing, all the other All dev stuff they provide in general. Yes if your app goes big, they make a lot of money. But for every big app there's something like 9 that fail completely (it's murky due to how many apps aren't intended to profit in the first place, and are just made to attract customers to a brand).

I don't know the numbers though. Maybe they could charge lots less. But just from my single viewpoint, it doesn't "feel" unreasonable.
How well did that work out back in the day? I am much more willing to trust that an app can’t do anything crazy on iOS because of the sandbox, on a PC, not so much.

Also the friction of buying is lower. I’m not going to put my credit card information in every random website. I will keep a credit card on file with Apple and just use my fingerprint to authorize the purchase.
