If you eat meat once per day and you reduce that to once per week you’re consuming 86% less meat. If you eat it once a month you’re consuming 96% less meat. You don’t necessarily need to go full vegetarian or vegan to have a major affect on your diet.
Im sorry that my comment made you feel this way. I was not trying to win any argument here. My comment above would be my reaction if it would happen to me.

I think it helps to brainstorm all the aspects of a problem. Of course, I can not say what you need specifically, you are right about that.

> If anybody, it is you. You believe so deeply in the evilness...

Btw, this feels more like an attack than a hypothesis, just saying.

>That's your mistake, then. When talking about user experience design, it's always inclusive-by-default, accessibility a top priority, not an afterthought.

Not really. I think you pulled this card to win the "consistent" argument. After all, I don't see evidence that this style does hinder accessibility.

>(B) don't always automatically change to the appropriate tab;

They do, Word 2010. Inserting Image -> Image ribbon, same goes for tables. If you want to force-show a ribbon you can always doubleclick.

>(C) sometimes show two tabs, confusing users (especially when it comes to tables or graphs)

Whats confusing about this? It shows a header "table tools" (translated) so the purpose is clear. Sometimes stuff is more complex and needs more space.

>Also, context-sensitivity would mean that the Ribbon would change back to the main tab after any operation in the other tabs was done

It does. Again Word 2010. Select image, make an operation. Write text again, (because you might make several operations) thus exiting the image manipulation mode and the Start ribbon is there again.

Note: I'm not saying this is the best interface there is, merely that it's not as inconsistent as you depict it.
I am going by the article linked:
"Macron says the increased fuel taxes are part of his effort to combat climate change, wanting to persuade French drivers to exchange diesel-fueled cars for less polluting models."
I don't see how this is helpful at all. Veganism is unnecessarily extreme and suggesting it more often than not simply tunes out your audience.

For example, if your diet is largely vegetarian but includes some low-order animal protein sources like sardines it's insignificantly worse for the environment than if you were vegan.

The idea that the will of the Chinese people does not matter OR is not being reflected by the Chinese government's policy.

Then the conclusion from this that the Chinese people are victims of their government, or dupes.

This is step one in declaring a state illegitimate, which is always done implicitly or explicitly when the US wishes to frame a country as the enemy.

This is the view of Saddam Hussein's government that was used to sell the Iraq war. The idea that destroying a lot of infrastructure and removing him from power was actually doing the will of the Iraqi people.

Applying the label of victims or dupes to an entire population for some reason does not trigger any skepticism in the US. The view is paternalistic and packed with implicit white supremacist ideas, such as the idea that the Chinese people and culture are not naturally suited to undertake steps to change their government.

The ideas is similar to critiques aimed at Haiti's government by avowed racists, yet for some reason Americans are much more eager to believe this kind of white supremacist nonsense about the Chinese people.

It is clear that elements in the US wish to escalate things with China. Trump's trade war, the announcement by an FBI leader that many Chinese academics and cultural groups are espionage oriented, the chip implants on motherboards story, as well as the many stories about bad living conditions and failing infrastructure in China, one the other day about a bunch of runners cheating in a Chinese marathon, etc. These run like clockwork in American papers.

So by adopting the same set of premises about the relationship of the Chinese people and their government, the anti-Dragonfly activists are laying the planks for the neoconservative case that the Chinese government needs to be replaced.

This comment might be downvoted, but I'm quite sure there will not be a coherent counter-argument provided by anyone who disagrees and who also claims to oppose things like the Iraq war.

I suspect that the people concerned about Dragonfly are the same people who would have protested a Google decision to launch in Iraq on the basis of various social policies that existed there under Baath party rule. This is pretty much the definition of neoconservatism.

There is no peaceful neoconservatism, there is always a stick that must be used to punish those who are holding back the idealistic sort of progress that the neocon narrative claims will exist if only various wars can happen.
DeepMind AlphaFold Delivers “Unprecedented Progress” on Protein Folding
So the answer is that they in fact can in the _VAST_ majority of cases. An extremely rare exception doesn't negate the rule.
I’m also a Google employee. The overwhelming majority of internal opposition to Dragonfly has been civil and considerate. There have been uncivil remarks and accusations by several who support Dragonfly. (EDIT: I should clarify that these rude voices are a minority, on all sides of the issue.)

Please keep discussion of this issue substantive.
IRC has, for all intents and purposes, been replaced by Discord. In other words, a large number of communities I frequented have re-formed in Discord, and are much more active.

There's still a few holdouts, but it's usually just 3 or 4 good-ol-boys who haven't left the server for 12 years.

It's interesting to watch contenders like gitter, slack, mattermost, riot/matrix, etc, falling to the rise of Discord, which was for gaming communities but now it's like the reddit of chat servers.
Lumen5 | Sr. Frontend Engineer | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite | https://lumen5.com

We're a small startup (12 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to convert text content into video. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

- Sr. Frontend Engineer: using React, Redux, ImmutableJS, WebGL, etc. The role is to take charge of the frontend part of the codebase, experiment, make big changes, and establish an architecture that we can build on top of as the frontend team grows.
https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/327963-senior-frontend-software...

- Software Engineer, Search Technology: We’re looking for a backend developer with a special experience in search - someone who’s not afraid of search engine internals, optimizing for relevancy, and indexing unstructured data. Familiarity with tools like Elasticsearch, Lucene/Solr, Spark, Hadoop/MapReduce, or Kafka would be great! https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/467375-software-engineer-search...
Aren’t TV ratings based on how many people watched each episode, during its initial airing? And the same episode is sold in multiple venues, like DVDs and paid streaming. To apples-to-apples compare traditional TV production budgets to the YouTube stat of revenue per views per month for a whole channel, you might need need to multiply by 10 or 100.

YouTube’s cut is reportedly 45% - I am skeptical that the traditional media industry gives such a revenue share to its creators.
Because they are scared it may hurt their brands.

And to be fair, most of the ads that appear near porn is extremely low quality, so they may be right.

Of course it is a self-perpetuating issue, but that doesn't mean that they can just fix it.

Unfortunately it would have the Ryanair problem of 'Shanghai' spaceport being somewhere in the Gobi desert. And 'NYC' spaceport being somewhere in the Nevada desert, so the journey will still take 12 hours.

Plus I can't see China accepting US owned ballistic trajectory rockets firing at their major cities.
People are male or female by genetics and have a personal perception of themselves as something other than that gender.

I can totally see how someone might be 69, but still running triathlons, and want to identify with an effective age that is 49.

I fail to see how these two cases are different.
Plus, the graphics card seems on the verge of merging entirely back to the mainboard (again). Certainly nVidia (et al) are fighting that (inevitable?) future, but more systems are built with "integrated" graphics than not and fewer systems than ever are slotting a graphics card in an expansion spot. (An interesting under-explored repercussion of the crypto-mining GPU boom causing such a consumer shortage in graphics cards was how many consumers realized they didn't need one.)
A deterministic Python dialect is indeed very cool. I've dabbled in writing a deterministic language myself.

Syntax highlighting and formatting is nice, but I think error reporting is more important for the end user.

Zaml auto-validates configuration structure, removing the need to write most boilerplate on the programmer's side.

Can you help me understand Skycfg's type safety and validation? When I see `return [pb.StringValue(value = 123)]`, does this imply the schema is written inline, alongside the values?
But on a birth certificate they show sex, not gender.
I think in some ways one of the saddest things I've come to observe in the world as I grow older is that human history was not just full of mistakes, but that people are basically still like that. Groups of people can still betray or harm other people for entirely stupid or even invented reasons and it happens all the time. It's really easy to not look at it if it never happens to you.
I am genuinely little confused here. Are you defending cencorship?
The fact is that these differences im sex exist (and increasing). I would happily change my official gender to be able to be a board member (now that California is limiting it). But if I needed, I would maybe change my official gender just to be able to fall into the gender quota and get a job.
In what sense is the time since birth subjective?

Excepting general relativity time dilation Interstellar situations, that is.
Hi HN! We are a pair of students at MIT trying to measure how well humans can differentiate between real and (current state-of-the-art) GAN-generated faces, for a class project. We're concerned with GAN images' potential for fake news / ads, and we believe it would be good to know, empirically, how often people get fooled under different image exposure times.
Uh yeah. I'm assuming you know how HTTP works, but if not, _basically_ you send a request to GET content, and the server makes a decision on what/whether or not to return. If that user shouldn't be able to see the content because they haven't logged in then its up to the server to decide.

It's crazy to send them the content but tell them not to read it... back to your example would you expect your bank to do that? Here's all the account details and transactions but oops thats not your account. I'm guessing no, you'd hold your bank to a high technical standard.

To be clear, if newspapers/journalists want to work out some special agreement with google (or partner/agreed upon indexers) so their requests are authenticated so that only they have access to the content - i think that is a better solution then pay walls and sending the article and saying "don't read this please"
I think "sex" is in the government database, not gender.
I think this wikipedia article is some proof that there is widespread adoption at least.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retirement_age

As for the UK: the Womens retirement age used to be 60, but it has been steadily rising for some time, until at one point it was brought to parity for eligibility for state pensions. (a move that was marred with protest by those wishing for "equality"? somehow)

The epilog alone was worth the price of admission. Having one compiler tell the other what to do via code generation is a great way around the lack of ABI compatibility.
> For example you probably won’t be listened to as much when there are conversations around improving system stability.

That sounds like not listening to people about things they might be good at and know something about, because you want to punish them for something completely unrelated. Namely, punish them for not participating in "optional" activities. All the while you don't want to openly and transparently say what you expect from people.

Yes, it is manipulative and it is bad workplace.

> It’s like our after work Friday drinks are entirely optional - but lots of people build friendships and trust there and this can often lead to higher productivity.

It sounds sounds like nepotism where your ability to function and be promoted rests on your ability to make friends and be charming around beer.

No a meritocracy, but rather badly managed workplace.

-----------------

Seriously, you openly say that you would listen and judge system stability suggestions based on participation in supposedly optional activity unrelated to system stability. You also openly say that you trust people work based on Friday beer instead on how they act when working.

That sounds like horrible workplace for anyone who care about work and great workplace for charming bullshitters.
Well, one can lead to the other.

Really? The idea of age being a publicly known and verifiable fact is completely specific to highly developed Western cultures. Many places in the world attach no importance to date/time of birth and do not record it.
I tried replacing the smart quotes but unfortunately HN's link tokenizer isn't smart enough even to work with not-smart quotes.
It's my (extremely outside) understanding that the concepts of physical/genetic/choose-something-objective gender are not what people mean in these conversations - nor are they referring to the subjective identity of what kinds of people one feels sexually attracted to. They are referring to a third thing, also subjective, best described as "what gender you feel like", which is very much like how old or young you feel, except much more closely related to one's identity (I "feel" young, which is great, but I also "feel" male, which is more than great - it's critically important to my self identity). So, both of these things (age and gender) have subjective and objectives measures - the difference is that "years old", which term the law uses, is patently objective both legally and linguistically, whereas on the other hand "male/female/etc", which terms the law also uses, is less objective linguistically (as described above), and therefore there is at least one basis on which you could argue for a legal change of gender - a basis that does not exist for a change-of-age argument.
Because it's socially popular for it to be, so the goalposts will be moved wherever they need to be for it to be true.
Thx! Didn't notice that Mozilla introduced Add-On support on their mobile Browser. I guess extensions support for Chrome Mobile is not coming in the near future, but who knows.
It's the difference between are and were. Age is an indication that you existed at some point in the past. It's a compacted record of reality. You cant change that arbitrarily even if you "feel younger".

Changing gender simply is a desire to change what you are currently. The whole notion of transitioning is to change from what you were to something that you feel more comfortable being.

It's becoming a lot more economical to launch small payloads, which has led to an increase in noncommercial payloads. Some of these are research-y (like university projects, or a tomato growing testbed that Germany sent up on this rocket).

Some are less practical. This particular launch had 2 cubesat art projects. One is a reflector designed to be highly visible in the night sky, sponsored by the Nevada Museum of Art. The other is a golden canopic jar purportedly containing the soul of the first African-American astronaut (who died before going to space). That one is from the LA County Museum of Art (not to be confused with a different commercial cubesat also on the rocket, which contains the physical remains of many deceased people).

I don't know how much of the lowered cost for these payloads is due to cheaper launches in general, or benefits of ridesharing.

I don't really get it. Reddit can do porn and has an iOS app. A blanket ban just doesn't seem necessary, especially if it's a large part of your community and technically Tumblr isn't a particularly novel product in 2018, community is all you have.

I've just heard people saying it as 'in-SPO-ration' for so long that a -spo suffix seems more intuitively to be a truncation of -spiration.
Age is determined by trips around the Sun and sex is determined by genetics. Gender, by definition, is not determined by sex. You are conflating sex and gender, but they are not the same thing. You can feel like a man, but be biologically a woman. You can feel like 40 at 70, but you're still 70.

You have a bizarre perspective on history if you believe this. It is only recently that governments have tried to monopolize infrastructure developments.

And they have the unfortunate outcome that they outsource the work to private entities which don't have to behave like regular companies (ie, compete in a free market).

Governments waste money. If left to the free market, costs would be reduced because those who can't compete on costs would find themselves out of work.
Question; does anyone know whether Dragonfly is designed to support China's Social Credit system? Censorship is one thing, but using Google et al. to assist China in turning life into even more of an MMORPG than it already is is a whole other level of evil. If the answer isn't known then I'm left to assume that Dragonfly will be a feed for Social Credit, because it isn't plausible that Chinese authorities would forego using it for some reason.
Ah, I knew I would see this hot take here! I responded elsewhere, but in short form, this is very likely far more driven by Tumblr's new corporate parents wanting to make the site friendlier to advertisers.
In the same way, every Catholic around me reads "Catholic" books written in the past 20 years that are 90% watered down and 10% quotes from older books. So imagine my surprise when I found all those old books they were quoting were easily available on archive.org and easily installable on my phone (the PDF copies only) and in easy to understand English translations, despite being written 200, 500, 1000, 1700 years ago. And compared to these older books, even the 150 year old books, these 20 year old books are nothing more than overpriced flowery pamphlets.
