In your last sentence, were you meaning to minimize animal explotation (or just exploitation in general)?

I ask because I think veganism is often confused with lots of other good things..

I like to refer to the original (AFAICT) definition:
https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism

"Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose."

(I posted that link yesterday too, but have no affiliation with the site)

It seeks to exclude, where possible, where practicable. It doesn't rail against industrialisation or the global economy. It's not directly concerned with the environment or being kind or being healthy or improving human conditions. Those are all Good Things, but separate things.

When I get asked those questions (and the 'where do you get your protein', 'what about if you were on a desert island?', 'where do you get your protein?', 'what about happy cows?', 'where do you get your protein?', 'what about grass fed cows|chikens|whateva?', etc) I say that I'm vegan because I don't believe there is any need for the society I live in to use animals for any purpose. I'm okay with contradictions and inconsistencies - I evaluate and make the best choice I can, day by day. Those choices add up over time.

If I get pressed, then I posit two questions:
1) Do you know of any animals that proactively seek out death?
2) At the end of an animal farming process, does the animal die?

So if animals are killed at the end of a farming process, and no animals want proactively to die; the only reason I'd support that regime is for my own selfish preferences.

Given there are viable alternatives, I have the option of choosing not to support the systematic death of hundreds of millions of animals every day. Sounds rational and good to me.

That logic still dumbfounds my family - literally speechless, even in 2019. Sigh.

Direct Client Connections (DCC) became infeasible about 20 years ago with the proliferation of NAT routers. The workarounds (connection tracking and rewriting) never arrived for the masses.
Repeat after me: safety is not security. Ponder this for a while. Safety is about giving guarantees that the right response happens at the right time to prevent disaster. Security is making sure that whoever you are communicating with is who they claim to be and not an imposter.

Heavy industry cares a lot for safety. An exploding refinery is not in any company's best interest. But the systems they rely on have absolutely no notion of security. They have no way to distinguishing between true and spoofed input values that are fed into a control system.
IRCv3 brings a bunch of really nice features I'm so happy to have, but it's really the clients that need a lot of work in addition to just IRCv3 features. Image, video and audio inlining is still something that no client does and the standard can't help with and that's a huge con for most users.

What the standard could help with is standardizing markdown formatting, some method of E2E encryption, better SASL (with registration, key rollover/update and distribution between your clients).
I agree that the current solution is unfortunate, but most customers are seemingly blind to that or more generally demand seems inelastic to that aspect so I didn't address it.

Isn't "taking will" essentially about changing habits? Personally, I find that habit and habituation is all that takes to slip back into weekend binging (etc.). Once I break the habit it's pretty easy to stay out of it[0]. Unfortunately, there are various things that'll trigger the urge to return to your old habits. Intellectually it's trivial to see what must be done, but it's just that it's sooooo easy to just fall back to binge every weekend.

It's really strange to me that the article didn't mention "habit" even once[1],

[0] Obviously, this may not apply for everyone. I'm not sure that I'm 'clinically' addicted, but it sure feels like it.

[1] Well, it did but it was just in a tangential sense of "it became a habit" or similar.
Individual personalities probably also play a big role here, how introvert/extrovert you are, and how much other social interactions do you have. Working from home can be lonely so virtual social interactions might be of higher importance to me than to, say, some introvert locked whole day in open space office full of people.

At Mux we use Cedexis Openmix to dynamically select between Fastly and Highwinds (now Stackpath) CDNs to stream a lot of video. The end-user experience with a CDN is going to vary dramatically depending on where your users are located around the world, which ISP they use, and many other factors that change by the minute. I wrote a blog[1] post about how & why we use multiple CDNs with our video service.

You might also want to evaluate a video QoE service to see what your users are experiencing in terms of video start-up times, rendition switching, buffering, etc.

You'd be better off submitting this as a Show HN (see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, https://news.ycombinator.com/show) and making it a linked post rather than a text post.

If you do, add a comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction. Good luck!

The government already sets the price of milk, and has done so since FDR (1930s).

http://www.eatingwell.com/article/16029/who-decides-how-much...

Such nationalized policies unfortunately are prone to capture by big players, so cronyism gets rewarded disproportionally over other concerns.

I can see the point in government getting involved to make sure that the food supply is up to standard and that there is enough extra capacity in the system to ride through the inevitable bad times (like the dust bowl).

However, given the dairy industry has been mostly shaped by government programs and regulations since the 1930's, it seem unlikely that salvation for small dairymen is going to come from that direction.

I think what he's asking for is long term epidemiological studies, which are hard to come by. I'd have to see the studies you are referring to, but most likely they refer to measurements occurring over a relatively short time period, on a relatively small sample size (or in a lab on animals, or just cells, etc. etc.). This stuff is totally valid, but a lot of it is really hard to detect at a large scale level. You can justify many kinds of diets by looking at the short term biological impact of them, but the reality is that if these diets are so much better it shouldn't be so difficult to detect them in epidemiological studies. The classic example is the widely misinterpreted "China Study" which many people use to justify a vegetarian diet, but in fact did the opposite by proving that the effect size of eating red meat, while statistically significant, was literally 2 orders of magnitude below what would be considered clinically relevant at an epidemiological scale.

> If you are on Win7 for any reason, EMET is better than no EMET, after validation with specific apps.

This is also untrue, since as stated, EMET is already past end-of-life. This means if vulnerabilities are found in EMET, they will never be fixed. It's entirely possible that installing EMET could be adding new ways to takeover your Windows 7 box.

And with or without EMET, Windows 10 is still much better protected than Windows 7.

I also work at one of the top tier banks but I’m not quite as doom and gloom as you. (Maybe I’m one of the 1.01011% – finally!)

It’s certainly true that some security practices within our organization seems more like security theater than anything else, but overall I think they have pretty reasonable standards and requirements set. It is very true though that the culture is almost entirely focused on compliance more than anything else, so there’re few proactive measures taken by teams. Lord knows no team I’ve ever seen outside of security wants to budget for it. Maybe it’s a damned if you, damned if you don’t kind of situation. If you don’t set compliance regulations you’ll get no security (move fast and break things, yay!) but if you do you end up with people ticking boxes saying “the thing is secure and stuff yo” and then play the blame game when it isn’t.

My feeling though, having worked with top tier banks in the financial industry for the last 8 years or so, is that more people are competent than not, but process stifles creativity and drive a lot of the time. It’s a very special kind of environment to work in.

> Mobile platform apps run in considerably stricter environments than do desktop apps.

Mobile phones (android) are full of malware, most only get patched for a couple of years at best and these are often late and infrequent. Stricter != safer.

That would be windows 10 and the app store included, but it looks like it's limitations led to failure.
Maybe not airliner level of safety, but based on the top causes of car accidents, they could probably be reduced by an order of magnitude with relatively inexpensive improvements:

1. better driver training
2. breathalyzer ignition interlocks
3. speed limiters (even more reduced speed at night/rain)
4. traffic light detection/automatic braking
5. enforced following distance

(I'd add "sleep/impaired driver warnings", automatic emergency braking (including pedestrian detection) even though it doesn't quite relate to the top causes of accidents))

Here's the top ten:

1. Distracted Driving
2. Drunk Driving
3. Speeding
4. Reckless Driving
5. Rain
6. Running Red Lights
7. Night Driving
8. Design Defects/Maintenace
9. Tailgating
10. Wrong-Way Driving/ Improper Turns
I'm experimenting with IF/keto at the moment, mainly to see if it helps put on lean muscle. For context, I've also been eating relatively clean (low carb, high protein/fibre) for years now.

I take all the internet commentary about low insulin levels (etc) with a grain of salt. I just don't know enough about endocrinology or the current state of research.

That being said, higher carbohydrate intake causes a noticeable spike in how hungry I feel. If I have a moderately carb-heavy dinner (50-100g), I'm ravenous when I wake up, and mentally I'm a lot fuzzier.

Then, like clockwork, they both disappear around 3pm, which I assume coincides with the switch over from metabolizing glycogen to fatty acids.

If I keep carbs under 20g, I'm fine from the moment I wake up. I have mild sensations of hunger later in the day, but nothing like the pangs I get on the higher carb diet.

This seems to be well documented, and most people on the keto diet report similar experiences.

Do you think this hormonal response has no impact on weight loss (or, for that matter, muscle gain)?
your interpretation was particularly ominous

This is the typical strategy. Bret Weinstein, who is Jewish and who made a potentially career-risking stand for civil rights many years back was castigated as a "sellout" and even as a "white supremacist." The truth is, that Bret Weinstein is, as far as I know, a progressive.

I was a lifelong Democratic party voter. I'm non-white. I've advocated for awareness of racism and bigotry since before there was a world wide web. If you try to tell a mob that using the word "oriental" doesn't warrant a rural middle school teacher losing her job, and suggest she's a human being who should be given the benefit of the doubt and try talking to her instead, this is enough to get you called a "white supremacist." And that is just one example among many for me, personally.

The fringe Far Left has hijacked the agenda of the political left as a whole, and is using these ominous authoritarian name-calling and scare tactics to silence dissent. On campus and in the street, this has even manifested as assault and violence -- on behalf of the left. Something is very wrong there.

We people of good conscience who have seen it need to start speaking up and calling this out. For those of you for whom this is new, then just try an experiment. Ask some reasonable but hard questions. Push boundaries, but only in an intellectual sense. See what reaction you get. See if you recognize the spoor of authoritarianism.

(1) The crime rate increased -- like, Walmart-related crime was a big proportion of the crime rate. This was a community whose raunchiest establishment was an AMC theater.

(2) They weren't making "crime trips" -- they just came to shop at Walmart and crime happened. For example, shoplifting, on impulse. Some fights and such.

The point is, the crime caused by the train line may also partly be of this sort -- impulsive shoplifting, rather than deliberate shoplifting trips.

Agreed, but it wouldn't even necessarily take a VxWorks zero day. Having worked in the industry as a security professional, you'd be amazed at how many embedded devices ship with VxWorks debug ports open and listening, with default (or easy) passwords. The debugger is basically a C interpreter, so an attacker has totally pwned the box if they know what they are doing and get to that port.

Misconfiguration by developer teams happened all the time. Usually somebody just forgot to build with debug disabled, but sometimes we'd see an engineer leave it on intentionally to make debugging in the field easier for him :facepalm:
Also have the android provider:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/testcafe-browser-provider-andr...

These two allow you to test on physical and simulator devices, in order to test on the browser set without cloud services like browserstack.

It also allows you to parallelise multiple devices on the one server. Hope you like it!

This is kind of puzzling. Fingerprinting (among other things) render to a canvas, and then send the resulting pixel data over the wire. So yes, fingerprinting requires sending stuff over the wire, but it also depends on running arbitrary code and rendering behavior.

One helpful survival tactic in Baltimore is, if you are an outsider, make sure to nod and say Hello to the porch sitters, the older folks sitting outside on their steps chatting and keeping an eye on things. It gives one a friendly feeling. And, I've been steered away from trouble several times by friendly advice from the porch sitters.
Sure, if you stop to think about it for a minute. Might need to be brought up as something to think about though.

So the presence of a store lead to people shoplifting in said store? I suppose if the Wal-Mart were not there, the shoplifting wouldn't have happened. Perhaps we shouldn't have stores then.

Do you have any evidence of a crime increase aside from the existence of a store allowing people to shoplift from the store? I'm not asking for your perception here, because it has little to do with what the real crime rate is.

An interesting idea. In my experience it’s investors, not founders, who are often the source of complexity in startup agreements. I’ve found that angel investors or investors without a huge amount of experience with common practice in the YC/SV world struggle with concepts like SAFEs and convertible notes — even if they’re otherwise sophisticated investors. And those types of investors are often the only ones ready to bet money on very early stage startups.

All that’s to say: don’t neglect the educational aspect of what you’re selling. Make it easy for founders to explain how your documents works, and make it easy for investors to trust the documents you’ve prepared.
Tartiflette: Dailymotions’s Open Source GraphQL Implementation for Python 3.6
> don't pretend to be open source

In my mind, a company that makes lots of free contributes to open source is an open-source-friendly company, but this thread and the other on the Elastic post made me realize just how many people think that a True Open Source Company (whatever that means) should prefer to go out of business to dealing in proprietary software.

I personally don't care for any of these puritanical viewpoints that deny economic realities (there's only so much a person or a collective can afford to give away for free, money doesn't grow on trees, etc). Open source is good, but thriving, sustainable open source depends on a symbiotic relationship with for-profit institutions.

most abuse mitigated by their limits on the number of downloads allowed and how many days it can stay online. Currently at 7 days max and 100 downloads. If they see abuse they could reduce this further.

about revenue, there are so many valuable directions this can go. It could undercut competitors in ways they cannot sufficiently respond to. (google responding in kind would leave them less reason to not add encrypted storage for drive) By stabilizing this platform they can start to build new privacy-enhancing apps on top. Calendar, contacts, etc. With more dependency on the platform, they will find areas where more storage, longer retention, will be income generating.

privacy may be the only frontier that can displace google,apple,microsoft.

There's no incentive alignment between those who own the tech (the source of productivity increase), and those who would need the welfare (who would presumably be consuming some of said productivity increase).

The owners of the tech is highly likely to prefer to capture fully the output (by lowering taxes for example).

I think there should be a way to align incentives - education paid for by owners of the tech, but also a contractual obligation to work for X years for their sponsors.
