>* Freezing meat twice and eating it will make you sick

Uh, every frozen meal I have ever seen has come with the printed warning not to freeze it again after it has melted?

Freezing does not kill microbes, and additionally formation of ice during the freezing breaks the internal structure of foodstuff making it better medium for bacterial growth. So repeated freezing-unfreezing, especially if the product is taken into room temperature and back allows unwelcome microbes to proliferate. Like with all food poisoning hazards, it will not make you sick with 100% certainty, but increases the risk enough that it is not recommended.

This is near word-by-word translation of the guidelines of Finnish medical society [1] and food safety authority [2].

It is difficult to call "do not freeze stuff again" an unfounded superstition equal to fan death if it is the common recommendation by national authorities.

Thanks for advice, I'm probably underestimating the time it takes to get from beginner to job ready. I was looking at Holberton because of the tuition scheme, but I can see how it could end up more expensive than community college.

You might need a Terminator unit from the future to effectively hunt those peskers.
"[This app] will generate a VPN profile, which will automatically reroute the DNS traffic through the app so that it utilizes the 1.1.1.1 DNS servers."

Does this mean I won't be able to use a real VPN? If so this is rather bad for security.

Why the hell would I use this over just setting the DNS server?
Damn, just yesterday I went to an exhibition about AI that heavily focused on 2001 and HAL. A truly visionary film. RIP.

Today is the first day I hear about this company. What are they doing? Do they have noteworthy customers?
I think the other two "mainstream" messengers I use (Telegram, KakaoTalk) are as simple or simpler and also ad-free. Kakao also has E2E encryption after a bit of a struggle, Telegram had it for a long time.

I think WA is the most widespread but I wouldn't call it the simplest or most reliable. They are all pretty similar imo
Seeing Like A State goes into a fair amount of detail.

From my notes:

* Soviet collectivization. Inspired by huge mechanized farms in the US. Vision of doing for farming what assembly lines did for manufacturing. Both Soviet and US attempts to do so failed badly. Party resorted instead to martial law and grain seizures, creating peasant uprisings. Forcibly relocated peasants into standardized, pre-planned mega-farms which were ruled by agricultural specialists. Ignored local conditions, vastly over-simplified and over-abstracted different areas of land and differently-skilled populations. Pressure from above to deny failures led to plans quickly losing contact with reality. Peasants gained most of their food by farming their own private plots in their little free time. Peasants effectively became indentured slaves, stripped of any cultural institutions that might be a focal point for rebellion, and naturally responded with terrible productivity. More deaths from starvation that WW1 and civil war combined.

* Compulsory villagization in Tanzania. Similar story. Government (with support of the Western world) wanted to modernize the peasantry. Forcibly relocated peasants to standardized, pre-planned villages. (Was supposed to be voluntary, but top-down pressure for results led to initiative-taking). Peasants were moved vast distances, rendering their deep local knowledge worthless. (Peasants don’t come in standardized, fungible units). Forced to apply Western farming techniques which failed badly in the local climate and ecology. (The peasant practices of dense polycropping turn out to be much more effective in climates with high primary productivity than monocropping and ridging as is common in the West). Authorities heard reports of atrocities but insisted they were isolated cases.

* And again in Ethiopia. Lead to widespread famine.
Cool stuff, I have a thing for reliable, low tech solutions. Anyone see a problem with this approach?
Ok, I didn't know that quote
> The notion of company loyalty is good for a productive workforce - UNTIL the illusion is shattered

It should also be noted that this illusion is not specific to any economic system. The soviet union also saw its share of jaded idealists who were gullible to the point of believing that all those promises of owning the means of production had any credibility.

At least in capitalist economies workers are educated with regards to liberal ideas. Thus they are informed that a work relation is just like any business relation, and therefore they are compelled to look after their own best interests without falling for the "company loyalty" emotional trap. Your employer owes you the salary and you should expect nothing more in return, and consequently you as a worker are compelled to always look after more favourable arrangements just like your employer is perpetually doing wrt your job.
Required != what happens in reality

100% compliance of laws in a population of millions increases costs astronomicaly.

Assuming you are involved in building software if you are in, imagine it this way. It the difference in cost between Google garunteeing they have a 99.5% uptime vs Google garunteeing they have 100% uptime on a service.

That small difference in uptime percentage would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and Foogle is not even close to a national scale
In case anyone wants to pronounce the name:

"drz" is unpronouncable in English, but probably closest to /j/ in "journalist", but with a /d/ in front of it (actually /dʐ/.) "y" is a slightly darker Schwa /ə/ (actually /ɨ/) and "ł" is the same as English /w/.

I'd render it in English as something like:
djeh-MAW-uh.

Also worth reading is the Wikipedia article on spite houses in General: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite_house
Lots of cool examples of malicious compliance and plain disobedience.
Good DB, thanks! It sez:'Community-driven effort', 'Any help is appreciated!'

Perhaps they aren't willing to support businesses. After all if I pay I can badger them with questions. And that's what they want to avoid.
That's a good point. One only has to imagine an alternate reality without technology where every conversation between two people has a cop nearby listening in. If that creeps us out, why not widespread technological surveillance?
I got it confused with Altair BASIC which gates used to work on.
It is pretty relevant to a dermatologist. Racial statistics are banned in France so dermatologists have to resort to code words, because skins of different color behave quite differently.
When using FastLED keep in mind it's still not compatible with chips containing 2 or 4 LEDs (Warm/Cool White and RGBW), like many WS2812B strips available online. At least in the case of RGBW the strip will work, but the white LED will remain off.
That is very creepy.
You're confidence about this makes me not doubt that you're correct, but the linked thread doesn't really discuss this in enough detail that it's clear that running a native sandbox is not possible.

I'm not really experienced with iOS' underlying architecture, so I'll happily take your word for it - it's just that the linked thread mentions that virtualization is possible but not but sort of.
Password managers sync across devices and so if you need a password to log in to your system, then you can retrieve it from the other synced device/s. Or am I missing something?
Interesting, this must be very different in other countries. Pretty much every iPhone owner I know communicates via instant messengers, usually WA and not iMessage.
> "All the scripts, code, and interpreters" are not, in fact, packaged with the app as you are able to download arbitrary binaries using curl/wget or apk.

I'm making a distinction between the code that's downloaded and interpreted and the actual app's code, which is important because I can download a FRACTRAN (or your favorite Turing-complete language) interpreter written in Python and run it in Pythonista and run afoul of this rule unless you take the interpretation of "scripts, code, and interpreters" being the ARM code that is running natively on the device that implements the emulation system. So if you look at the "arbitrary binaries" (which just so happen to less readable, non ASCII "source code" for iSH) being equivalent to Python scripts, there really is no issue here. No native code is being downloaded, generated, or executed in either case.

Jetty/CometD has decent support. You can use HTTP2 as a transport for push notifications. You can also specify additional resources like scripts, css, or images to be sent on the first request.

I am less worried about what most sites do and more interested in the features offered by implementations. A huge number of sites don't even use https.
Couple of years back the amount of captcha I have to solve to visit a site was amazing while using the workplace network. Although the CDN I faced most problems with was CloudFlare.
The deactivation of HAL 9000, a scene that took over 6 minutes of running time, is one of the most indelible cinematic memories from my teenager years. I have never felt more conflicted with empathy for and gripped by fear of an electronic conscience since. In the scene at one point when HAL says "I'm afraid, Dave", I'd almost want to stop Dave, but I am also simultaneously aware and fearful that HAL may be manipulating the human!

I've watched many SciFi movies with similar themes - even ones where the artificial beings are given faces. But HAL's baritone voice and the precise controlled cadence did for evoking emotions what none could top. Douglas Rain's voice and how Kubric used is an example of craftsmanship mastery at its best!

RIP HAL 9000. I'll sing Daisy for you.

The Chinese Saleae Logic clones are great, they're dirt cheap and you can use them with sigrok, which is open-source and has built in decoding of many wire protocols like SPI and I2C.
That's exactly it, Facebook is an advertising business and they struggle to think that they would be better and other ways to monetize a product, especially on WhatsApp where you have entire countries using it.
It's more about the accusatory nature of it. It implies "I don't believe you", which is not really a question. It's rude, and stymies a conversation. You're making the other do work to get back to the same point in the conversation they were at, before you said anything. I, as a reader, just saw a pissing match, but didn't learn much new.

Moreover, it's intellectually lazy: I could ask for sources after anything anyone says, ever. How does that advance any situation? Can you imagine the tone of those conversations?

Naturally, sometimes it's genuine curiosity. You can usually tell from the way it's phrased. "This isn't true. Do you have a source?" is not it.

But even in that case, I genuinely suggest people to take all of three seconds to type the keywords into Google. It's about as quick as typing that reply, and it frees up the comment section like a quick vick's vapo rub.

The original poster already went through the trouble of sharing the comment, and, presumably, their experience with it. The least you can do is help.
So this basically slices the object up in layers before exporting? What if the layer height is different between the export and the slicer? What about variable layer heights?
"You should use wheat-growing techniques that do work for us, but don't work for you" isn't quite the same message as "you should grow wheat (using techniques that work equally well for us and for you) even though wheat is only economical for us because we have a lot of land and no people to farm it, whereas you have a lot of people but not so much land".
And it is highly problematic when science is being curbed because it doesn’t agree with the ideology of the time. As we decode and understand more of the genome, biology will be on a collision course with political correctness which dictates that everything is environment. But it may be that genes have a significant influence on our character, sexuality, intelligence, etc.
I've worked for the European Space Agency and EUMETSAT and it's crazy how much effort is wasted because everybody is writing separate mission control, monitoring and data analysis applications that do 95% of the same things, each with its own horrendous UX/UI, idiosyncrasies and bugs.

I'm not in that industry anymore but I just wish everybody would just grow up, use this (and related) software and contribute. No reason not to do that (of course except for pride).
For me a lot of this comes down a lot to how interesting my work is at the time. Interesting work keeps me motivated. Pomodoro seems like a reasonable solution for less interesting work (breaking it down into half hour chunks with a 5 minute reward break at the end).

On a more practical note, meditation will help with your attention span and stop you getting distracted as easily.

Saying that I am on HN posting responses right now. Anyone who has truly solved this problem probably isn't here. :)

Depends on the price range and quality but in general it's highly processed, designed to addict, pumped with grains as filler/fiber.

Dry feed is linked to kidney failure in cars and small dogs.

Veterinarian food is marginally better but it still isn't comparable to a close-to-natural diet. Pretty much the same business model used by toothpaste brands sold by dentists (piggy-backing on profession trust).

There are higher quality cans and options like BARF which cost a bit more but are far better (and tastier) for pets. It can also be done at home at a lower cost but it's pretty messy. Time-wise takes around 8 man-hours per month for us (recepie calculation, getting supplements, grinding and cutting meat, getting it all together and packaging).

We've been feeding our cats with it for over 2y now. Their blood tests are far better and there's a visible increase in fur quality. Partner is a vet tech and has easy access to the clinic to checkup on our pets. She also daily sees effects of cheap dry stuff on patients.
> the project at that point would probably just be "spawn a shell" instead of "emulate x86 and bootstrap a whole Alpine Linux install", since this is what most terminal emulators on Android do.

Or jailbroken iOS for that matter (at least when I last did a jailbreak which was quite some years ago, I honestly don't know about the current situation)
Just to nitpick: racial statistics are not banned in France. But they have to be voluntary and anonymous. What is forbidden is to make a file telling if a specific person is black... or jewish, as has been the case not too long ago. So the census (which is mandatory) is banned from asking questions about ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.

You can however make a general statistics about blacks or muslims as long as you guarantee anonymity and consent of the participants.
Presumably advertisers can do the same.
There have been plenty of societies historically in which very little work was required in order to live normally.

What people did with the resulting free time was generally to make war on those nearby.
I haven't found a perfect solution to avoiding tracking, but I frequently look around for new ways to improve my privacy.

One interesting thing I have found was to use Firefox's container tabs with the Temporary Containers extension and a per-domain isolation configuration which will put keep Google search in an temporary isolated container but still let me use mail.google.com in a persistent container.

Combine this with 'Google search link fix' so that search result page no longer uses local stubs to track links followed. Configure Temporary Containers configuration for Google to always open links from there in a new temporary container.

Then use uBlock Origin to not load Google's analytics when you're on the remote page.

Hopefully this prevents Google from tracking search history, though it's possible they could use some IP and browser fingerprinting to establish a weaker correlation on a shadow profile.

I'd love to also have per-container proxy configuration which would use a random proxy per temporary container, but I guess that's not possible yet.

I haven't looked much into ways to randomize the browser data sent to server, but its also something I'd like to be able to do if it were automatic and random enough (eg, a per-request randomization of user-agent and reporting of things like fonts, plugins, screen resolution, etc, which are used as correlating factors in fingerprinting tools).
You asked for suggestions that didn't involve outrage and I gave you some.

These are suggestion that have been around for a long time and even Jack Dorsey from Twitter and Tim Cook from Apple have bought it up recently.

Facebook's creates hundreds of unintended consequences. The suggestions I mentioned just addressed two specific issues - addiction and the spread of ignorance/fakenews/bad info (nuclear chain reactions require control rods same with viral info). Especially dangerous in countries where most of the population is too illeterate to counter it.

Look up Tristan Harris former Googler humanetech website and you will find many more human thought and behaviour effecting dark patterns that social media sites use that need to be addressed.

Ideally we need a bug tracker for social issues being generated in the same way we track software issues.

One example of a big problem without a fix that would be at the top of the list is having 14 year olds exposed to the most viral and extreme problems of 35 year olds day in and day out is leading to higher anxiety/depression in kids. The EU, Canada and UK have data out on this.

The suggestion for these kind of issues is, mandating such a "bug tracker" increases awareness. The regulations are being worked on.

It is very easy for speedometers not to under-report speed, given the 10% margin for over-reporting. It's not at all comparable to trying to maintain 100% uptime.

Most of them deliberately over-report by about 8%. You can check this by comparing your car's indicated speed to the speed shown on your satnav.
Business Chat (for iMessage) does exactly this, though I haven't actually interacted with a company this way yet, so I can't say how good of an experience it is.
> If they didn’t have those, 90%+ of the immigrants would be of Chinese or Indian origin. Is that what we want?

Yes, we'd want the 14% of skilled immigrants we allow to be skilled, irrespective of their nationality.
I visited the Stanley Kubrick exhibition in Barcelona this week-end, the 2001 area is still the one that gets me the most, they were projecting the opening of the movie, which is always breathtaking, but what got me the most is the HAL wall repeating the lines from the movie. A great place to visit if you have the the opportunity.

Counter-PC is tautologically right-wing since PC is a term for stuff the right wing don't like.

You could describe all the lies Trump tells and his employees and supporters defend against all evidence and logic as "PC", but no one does. Instead he attacks Climate Change or Free Trade or Ozone Protection as PC hoaxes. And notably Quillete avoid Trump despite several of their big name contributors being scathing about him in other venues.

I did a search on climate change, which is a reasonable bellwether for this kind of thing. I didn't find outright denial (which I guess I should celebrate, just like I celebrate the incoming head of the House Committee on Science not being a denier, even though it's the lowest of bars to meet) but I did find a rambling blog-like article about expertise that suggests we should believe climate change experts but also not do anything they recommend because they're not policy experts. And we should also believe a politician that says coal is good for humanity and believe coal experts that coal is better than renewables.

It was all a bit wishy-washy but clearly wishy-washy nonsense from within their own social conservative tribe is fine, despite their attempt to paint themselves as unbiased iconoclasts of exactly that kind of thing.
