George Monbiot's comment on the article [0] basically makes the same point.

If all meat farming was done this way, optimised for environmental impact and animal welfare, there simply wouldn't be space for it. We'd all have no choice but to eat a lot less meat.

The resulting diet would be something a lot closer to veganism / vegetarianism than most people's idea of a "normal" meat-eating diet.

We are only able to eat the quantities of meat that are currently considered normal by treating animals like shit and harming the environment in the process.

Firefox got much faster on November last year (FF 56)
I've seen just the opposite. A VPS from a cloud provider is often 2-3x the cost of an equivalent Linode.

It seems to me that the recent cosmetic changes to Chrome were a sleight of hand. As many people have pointed out here, there has been a major shift in Google's attitude towards its users and the web as a whole.

I think we are looking at the public face of something significant to have happened in Google search (and AI) and this attempt to start plugging all the gaps in our browsing habits is so that Google have as good as 95-100% understanding of human habits.

Foil hats on everybody :)
sorry, disagree. very very easy to switch browsers.
SiriusXM is more than a music service that competes with Apple Music, Google Play Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify. It is currently the only streaming service where I can get news and a wide range of live event programming via one app and/or the head unit in my car.

Acquiring Pandora could be huge for SiriusXM provided they integrate Pandora into the SiriusXM app and don't raise SiriusXM packages beyond the historic rate of package price increases.
I wanna switch go Firefox so badly. But I use Linux, MacOS, and Windows and Firefox still does not support keychain on MacOS. I'm not gonna input my master password every time I open up my browser.
Protip: Don't do that.

Don't work for a soul sucking company. Don't have a crappy boss. Don't refuse to have hobbies, don't refuse to have friends.

Moved to the bay area 16 years ago. Love it. Can't imagine going back to the northwest.

I've worked at a handful of tech companies and NEVER felt pressured to burn myself out.

Life is what you make of it. That's not to say there aren't crappy employers out there, and it's not so crap on the plight of those who feel stuck. Those employer should be held to account, I don't want to blame the victim.

But I've seen nothing about this area that makes it more likely to happen here than anywhere else.

That's because it's largely unused nowadays, the current abbreviation being MM. (which doubles the M. – not Mr! – abbreviation for monsieur).
You would be surprised. I am using Bing alone for over a year and had to use google for 2-3 cases at max. Agreed google sometimes return different results, but you cannot say it's better, especially if you are used to seeing Bing results. I would suggest you try Bing for a month and go to google if you cannot absolutely find anything in Bing.
Edges and intersections are always more interesting. This is true across multiple domains. Coastlines, roads, music, business and academic fields to name a few.

Starting a business that relies on the edge of the frontier raises the stakes, higher risk and higher reward.

If you guess right that the market is going this direction you can get a head start on defining the new direction and you have little or no competition. However, it is very difficult to get all of the following right: technology, general market direction, timing of readiness to accept a new technology or process, brand desirability/acceptance and willingness to spend money on your innovation.

I have done some arguably cool innovative things at the edge. But here I am still selling my time. It is really tough to get them all correct.

An aside: I really wish we could find another word for "best". So tired of seeing that all over the web. Oh, and "modern" also, but at least I don't see that here.
As someone who suffers from depression for almost 20 years I would like to provide some thought:

Sometimes if you really just want to die and can not move out of bed, it would be REALLY(!) helpful if you would just be allowed to. If I could just go to my parents or my friends and say "hey, I love you all, but I have enough, I want to die" and if then nobody would be like "oh! you feel that bad? how can we help you? We are there for you" but just accept what I just said "I want to die", make an appointment at a doctor's office, give me some overdose and let me like. Act the same way as if I told them I want to move to another country, talk about it if you need, accept it and accept it as a life choice. If that would be really socially accepted–and I mean really accepted, not just some imaginary accepted by everyone just in order to treat the depressed–then I suspect a lot of depression would go away, because everyone who is depressed and fights to get out of bed everyday would have a real new choice, a real new option that is not looked down upon like "I want to die but everybody I love will be mad or sad". And having real options and choices you are free to take helps a lot if you are depressed. It's the feeling of having a lot of choices but being not allowed/accepted/able to take them that often stops one from finding the strength to fight back.
Back in the late 90s, I saw a demo of a 3D television in a university, where they had a row of ten or so cameras, and had developed a television with an LCD shutter in front of it that allowed it to project ten images, so you would see a different image in each eye, and you could move your head around the television to see around the objects portrayed on it. It was nifty technology back then.

The disadvantage was that the television had to draw its images ten times faster than a normal screen, in order to project each image in turn. In order to do this with an acceptable brightness, the electron acceleration voltage had to be quite high, and the tube produced an appreciable dosage of X-rays. To cope with this, the cathode-ray tube was actually pointing at the floor, with a mirror underneath it so you could see the image. At the bottom of the unit was a chunky block of concrete to absorb the X-rays and protect the people working on the floor below.

> it seems like painkiller administration is a kind of euthanasia

It absolutely is. A relative of mine had a stroke and was on the way out. The nursing home staff told us they couldn't give him anything to help hasten the end but if you think he's in pain...? [expectant stare]

It took a few rounds of this before we twigged and completed the ritual. "Yes, I think he's in pain."

The Best Practices to Enhance Your App Security: Guide for Businesses
This article reads more like an ad for their farm, which granted as far as farms that produce meat from livestock goes, seems really nice.
But their approach is not gonna work at scale, because you cannot have enough farms that operate this way to supply meat to a whole population. They also only compare their approach to what is basically the strip mining approach to crop growth. They don't look at things like crop rotation, or plenty of other farming techniques that prevent your land from becoming an arid desert. The title is clickbait, and the actual content of the article is way off. If this had been an article about how they tried to treat their animals better than our current factory farming conditions, this article would have been a great look at a way to raise livestock that doesn't make me think I'm looking at some sort of dystopian Bond-Villain's greatest evil contraption. But instead they tried to make it about veganism vs. eating meat, and failed to provide any actually compelling reasoning.
aren't there literally hundreds of "rent-a-tutor" services available now? if you really think you want to pursue it seriously i'm sure you can negotiate something with a teacher on freelancer.com or something like that
It's a common argument I've heard against vegan/vegetarian diets to compare the best possible scenario of meat production, no matter how uncommon, to the average case of plant production.

I see it as equivalent to trying to discredit the value of college by pointing out Bill Gates.
I miss their api the most and being able to embed play any song using it.
For me the performance was not quite up to the mark and had to switch back to Chrome. I guess someone (big corp ideally) should just take the v8 and the html rendering engine from Chrome and build a wrapper and keep it open sourced.
Well, there is that joke extension from recently, and then there is installing qwent (or whatever it was) for all German users by default.
Yes, same here - ublock got deleted, settings got reset on upgrade. Fuck off google - and your fucking browsertracker
Keep in mind that the majority of soy and corn a fed to animals. In this context the argument that "soy farms deplete the soils and destroy forrests" becomes a lot weaker...

Yes, roaming, free living animals are good for the planet, but you don't have to eat them to have them roaming around.

They probably haven't upgraded their knowledge about mainline Linux support in the last 4 years or so. It improved a lot!

There's also a pretty good, in some areas even better support from some BSDs.
I'd instead recommend Boost's Graph Library. It's not an easy piece of code to understand, but they have everything from Flord-Warshall and Kruskal's to Min-Cut and Dijkstra's in very generic implementations.

I wonder what happened to the linked tweet.
Having gone to the medical industry for help with my own extreme bout of depression, I very much don't recommend it. They have very little idea what they're doing when it comes to depression, but being doctors they refuse to admit this and keep applying leeches to balance the humors or whatever the treatment fad of the day is.
DDG is better at technical stuff and has been for a while.

It's not as good at finding obscure forum posts related to a query however
Simple explanation: when you win five minutes by switching from road A to road B, other drivers on road B might lose more than five minutes in total from the extra congestion you cause. So the total time spent by all drivers will increase, and so will average time (if number of drivers is constant). So removing some connections from the road network, to prevent some drivers from optimizing their route, can reduce average driving time.

Why are we assuming maliciousness?

My best guess that Chrome works this way would be due to combining the sign-in cookies with the general cookies of the browser (e.g. 1 cookie store instead of 2).

So when you log in to Google, you log in to Chrome - and vice versa. For non-technical users this is a convenience feature, though for many it does come with privacy concerns.

Judging by the comments re cookie clearing, there is some part of the login still separate from that, but as it re-establishes itself the cookies come back and you stay logged-in to Google.

Is this perhaps preventable by having a "Guest" Chrome account? What happens then?

No, I’m not comparing engineers at Google to prison camp guards.

I’m comparing the argument that the Google engineer is just following orders to the argument that camp guards were just following orders.

I’m not the one who brought up the exact same defense. But if that defence is brought up, Perhaps the person emplying that argument should be asked if they meant to make the comparison indirectly by using the same argument.
I wonder just how much money they make off the back of these annoying installs.

I would think apps like candy crush must be paying Microsoft in the 10s of millions to so directly affect the UX of their primary money maker.

Thank you for that explanation. In a way it reminds me of the cost of context switching. Sure, it seems quicker to do a task right now, but the overall cost will go up because of what you left behind.
I really wish I could be back on Safari to sync between all my devices. Pity they killed their Windows version, a lot of us don't have a choice of OS at work.
yup. content blocking model is superior, third party cookie handling is superior (and leading the charge), sharing of tabs between devices is superior, reading list is awesome, yada yada.

personally i’m still on chrome. i stay signed in all the time anyway. not deleting google cookies is a feature from my POV. when google throws up an anti ad blocker, that’s when i’ll defect.
I switched my default search engine to Bing on my phone (when AMP started to become a thing) and it's been great.

I do still use Google on my work PC, because it knows I'm a C++ programmer and can show more relevant results. I am against the direction tracking is going, but it is useful in some cases.

Putting yourself in a weaker position due to your views doesn't scale and thus doesn't work. For one hero there are ten conformists at the same level of skill, waiting for him/her to leave. While it's brave, it is also pointless. The problem as you state it can be solved only by explicit consensus, being it a law or just a manifesto. Modern privacy has no professional and power-y organization under it, except for few self-distanced like GNU, FSF, etc. Moreover, by staying at google engineers who have an opinion probably can influence much more than those who left.
Browsers run remote code locally.

Disabling any browser's auto-update is one of the worst computer security ideas in 2018.

Be a good netizen and reactivate those auto-updates or simply uninstall Chrome.
Can we make this the top comment or something, so that google folks can see this!. I am sure HN is a good enough influencer for folks at Google to rethink!
I'll make my usual statement. It's bullshit.

Theoretically possible but never ever happens in real life.

I've yet to see an example were it's happened.

"The paradox was postulated in 1968 by German mathematician Dietrich Braess, who noticed that adding a road to a congested road traffic network could increase overall journey time."

This is a no brainer, adding connections adds latency and bandwidth. if the latency is > bandwidth it'll be slower.

But the theory is adding bandwidth > latency can still make it slower in real life and I call BS unless you try and specifically design it that way.
Same with me - I use DDG for my main search engine for the last year or so, and do a g! search about a dozen times per month since.

Bhatt et al. (2015)4 studied the decline of cases of malaria in Africa between 2000 and 2015. They found that the single most important contributor to the decline were insecticide-treated bed nets. According to their findings bed nets were responsible for the aversion of 68% of the 663 million averted cases in Africa between 2000 and 2015. These are 451 million averted cases.

Excerpt taken from https://ourworldindata.org/malaria#bed-nets .

Furthermore only 30% of the population is sleeping under a bed net already in sub-Saharan Africa as mentioned bit further down in the same article. So there's still room for improvements.

Hi, Tidelift cofounder here. This is a reason we don't charge per-package. It costs the same whatever customers report. (Which is what the Wired "Netflix" analogy is about.)

The incentive to report accurately is that subscription benefits only apply to packages we know someone's using. Some of those benefits are dependency analysis results, others are services or assurances. For example, we'd only know to tell them about security vulnerabilities in a package they actually say they use.
Linux is just a kernel, the proper terminology is Node/Linux.
Of course not. It's not The Answer. There is no single magic bullet.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

The current problem is the end to end status quo. What we eat. How we travel. Etc. That collective mindset needs to change; and since many of these habits are social (i.e., we assume the norm around us) we need to nudge the want for change forward. It's like a row of dominoes.

Diet might not be the final answer. But it certain helps us to move in the direction of being able to tackle the really hard stuff. We can't just sit and watch. The collective fear that will create is frightening.

Edit: For typos.
I want some of those pegs! The dance between the fine tuners and the pegs is frustrating, and I don't like the look of a tailpiece with four little screws sticking out of it.

I'd love some for my viol even more, as it's got seven strings all made of gut and goes out of tune with the slightest shift in humidity or temperature. Anybody who doubts the progress of violin making just needs to play the viol for a while, as viol design is still mostly just recreations of the old instruments. Or play baroque violin - violin as Stradivarius actually made it - and understand that progress has been made.

I think the adherence to worship of the past is a relatively modern thing, but it's nice to see things moving around. I've seen quite a few very interesting instruments on the English folk scene lately by Tim Phillips.
That is one of the reason why I think Metal is the right way to go. I can't understand how we will be able to sustain the current development of GPU, when more than half of the cost are in software drivers development and cost % is constantly moving up. Another reason why the Desktop GPU market is so hard to break in, as have we seen times and times again, from 3Dfx with poor Direct X Drivers, S3, 3D Labs, Matrox, PowerVR etc. But I tried making this point with an Intel GPU engineers and he said my point is moot. May be he knows something I don't.
