>The vegetarians that I know don't like meat. So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb.

As long as we're sharing anecdata, I've reduced my meat consumption for environmental and health reasons, too. And I would love to have a decent veggie burger option at more fast food places. If it's a perfect fascimile of beef, all the better.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the old BK veggie burger. I think the Impossible Burger is good, too, but I'm not sure it's a step up for me so much as a horizontal change. But I do think it will be more appealling to more reluctant prospective veggie burger consumers, in which case, we all win.
I use a 55inch curved 4k Tv from Kogan $AUD500, I have 4 at various offices and locations, can't live without them now.

Being curved seems to really make a difference with the size.
Indeed. A little bit of work on the fonts and we'd have a perfectly current theme.

I agree with you.

My short would not have been a bet against my employer, more about being satisfied with turning paper gains into locked in, real money gains.
Screws are also very important, I imagine millions and millions of IKEA furniture falling downs if screws disappear magically. More seriously, for some structures it's much better and easy to use screws than nails. (Nails are very important too.) Anyway, I don't imagine that the operators in a screw or nail factory are getting payed millions per year.

There are hundred of economy books explaining how much you get paid, with different theories and interpretations, but if you can be replaced by a person that will do your work a minimal wage, you will probably get only a minimal wage.

Also, each label of the data is not so valuable, some are wrong, some are unclear, you must aggregate and process millions of labels. Imagine how little value they do get for each Captcha reply.

> Or, do we simply fire them once they fuel our algorithms.

Most works are like this. Imagine you are the main architect/engineer in charge of building the Empire State Building. They pay you for a few year to do the plans of the building, hiring the workers, buying the materials, whatever is necessary to do. After the building if finished, they thank you and now you are unemployed. (The workers are unemployed too.) You don't get a cut of the profits of the building.
> At the places that I've tried it, the staff usually apologize as I order it, and warn me that I probably won't like it. They all tell me that the ordinary veggie burger that they used to serve was better.

They're probably trying to prepare it like a veggie burger, which ruins it.

I've had the Impossible Burger a few times, and just like ground beef, you can make a good burger or a bad burger.

The places that it turned out well, they were aware that it was meant to be prepared like meat. I order it medium-rare, like I do with beef, and it comes out well.

Another place that I've been to still thinks it's a veggie patty. They end up cooking it until it's dry and disappointing.
Might I suggest carrying a small bag with you for your personal effects? Sure it's a change of habit for you, but with the ban you're going to have to change your habits anyway, and this means you can buy a nice, durable canvas shopping bag or something to that effect.
Are there any linux phones? I thought everybody was either on OS or some flavor of Android (....plus some WindowsPhone holdouts, I suppose). Android is vaguely based on the linux kernal, but nobody would really count that.

I'm sure there are valid reasons, but I also think there's a law that no matter how comprehensive your application protocol, it will eventually get turned into a transport for a higher-level (sometimes shoddier) application protocol.

And I’m running on the assumption that a furnace that’s designed to squeak out the energy within the steam from combustion will also ensure a good continuous flame that starts almost instantly.

If it takes 3 seconds to start, and runs for 15 minutes, that’s 0.33% of time spent starting, and it’s probably more of a flare for those first 3 seconds than unmetered gas escape.
Reporting this kind of stuff without drawing the bell curves should be criminal. Duh, the curves mostly overlap, but maybe they have slightly different peak heights or median locations. If you're not drawing the curves, you're deliberately misleading your readers and wasting everyone's time.

> I came away from this thinking the worst part of this was that their system did send them errors, its just that when you deal with billions of events emailing errors just tend to get ignored as at that scale you generate so many false positives with logging.

I write apps that generate lots of logs too...I think an improvement lies in some form of automated algorithmic/machine learning (to incorporate a buzzword in your pitch) log analysis.

When I page through the log in a text editor, or watch `tail` if it's live, there's a lot of stuff that looks like

TRACE: 2019-04-01 09:45:03 ID A1D65F19: Request 1234 initiated
ERROR: 2019-04-01 09:45:04 ID A1D65F19: NumberFormatException: '' is not a valid number in ProfileParser, line 127

Visually (or through regex), you can filter out all the "Request initiated" noise. Maybe the default value warning occurs 10% of the time, and is usually accompanied by that number format exception (which somebody should address, but it still functions, and there's other stuff to fix). But maybe the "Timeout error" hasn't been seen in weeks, and the value of C has always been positive - that is useful information!

Don't email me when there's a profile incomplete warning. Don't email me any time there's an "ERROR" entry, because that just makes people reluctant to use error level logging. Definitely don't email me when there's a unique request complete string, that's trivially different every time. But do let me know when something weird is going on!
You're calling for a re-evaluation of your value by asking for a raise.

If I realise I'm in an antagonistic relationship with my employer, I leave. I don't want to spend a significant chunk of my life dependent on someone I have an adversarial relationship with. That just doesn't sound healthy.

By only re-evaluating my value when I'm about to leave, and not when I ask for a raise, the employer reveals it's an antagonistic relationship, and that's a good sign it's time to leave.
It certainly is true if you keep changing jobs all the time. :)

How does it account for character width? Isn't a sixel a 1-pixel wide, 6-pixel tall bitmap? Does an actual DEC terminal round them to the next character boundary? Can you write text to a line that started with sixels? Can you write sixels after outputting some characters in the same line? How does a vertical screen partition look like? Are sixel graphics compressed when the terminal is in 132-column mode?

I saw this video of an actual VT-320 terminal displaying sixel graphics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SasrQ7pnbA. Someone should check what the behavior is under tmux and screen (at least).

Isolation doesn’t work (as you point out with NK).

Integration also doesn’t seem to be working (well, not nearly as fast as those in the Nixon era and since then hypothesized).

My view is that isolation is a worse route, because mostly the poor suffer from economic isolation.

I really like the strategy of targeting the powerful politicians/rich benefactors using tools like the magnitsky act. Those people shouldn’t have the privledge of traveling to western countries.

I know I would come off as a contrarian but I cannot echo your experience. My experience with Linux and BSD translated quite well to macOS. I've been using all these OS's to varied degrees for over 20 years now (eek just realized it) I don't find macOS's problems to troubleshoot and resolve to be any different from Linux or BSD. Just my $0.02.
Speaking just for myself, yes a meat-replacement that tastes and feels very similar to real meat would be a huge step towards me eating less or no meat.

There's a subset of people who are content with good vegan or vegetarian food. That set doesn't include me. I would however like to not eat meat anymore for ethical reasons.

I lack the willpower however to commit to vegetarian and vegan food, because I absolutely do not like those dishes and I don't have the mental headspace to tackle that alongside with a dozen other improvements I'm trying to make in my life (eg. producing less trash, staying healthy, charity work, etc.)

Compare it to the vape-pens that can replace smoking a cigarette. I'm not well versed enough to know if the numbers back up my intuition on this, but on face value I'd say that if vape-pens are available to help the subset of people who would like to stop smoking but are finding it too hard, why would that be a bad thing? The people who want to stop smoking completely can still do so.
We do intensive root cause analysis on every serious defect that leaks into production. Look into the "5 why's" technique. Usually there's something to learn in terms of a process or training improvement.

If the analysis shows the defect could have reasonably been caught during the code review phase then management sometimes has to recalibrate the reviewers. It's also important to select the right reviewers based on the scope and risk of the change. For the largest, most complex changes we sometimes pull in up to 6 reviewers including members of other teams and high level architects.
>that's because of the lack of trust, and the flow of responsibility and control.

I currently work for a company that has been transitioning from being tiny (I was employee #24) to pretty big (we're close to 60 now). One thing I've learned, much to my disappointment, is that once you get past a certain size it gets harder and harder to recruit people worth trusting with that kind of responsibility. The supply of such people is too limited, and they tend to get poached quickly.

>If you structure a company such that the employees themselves has to be responsible for their output in such a way that higher output leads to more money for them

Abstinence from meat seems like an extreme step if all you are concerned about is environmental damage. Just eating meat at a "normal" frequency of two or three times a week would be enough to mitigate much of the impact. True organic agriculture is not possible without meat production as a side effect, and this can only be replaced by nonrenewable synthetic fertilizers.
Bring reference books and files with you to the interview.

When you get a technical question or problem, don't say anything, just open it up, point to it, and hand it back to the interviewer.
Of course the original app must also permit the receiving app permanent access to that file in the first place, plus the receiving app can only ask the OS for permanent access to a relatively limited number of files.

And for files that might be opened through multiple apps (say you downloaded a picture - now you could reasonably launch a photo editor for that file directly through your browser, or through a file explorer, or your gallery or ...), each sending app will generate its own URI and the receiving app has no guaranteed way to decide whether those URIs all refer to the same app or not.

Honestly nobody younger than 50 feels guilty of using words, be it email, hashtag or bacon. And older people don’t quite understand them anyway.

Using courriel was somewhat funny and snobbish but people used them to be fun and snobbish, not because the law of the academy mattered to them.

I think we care about grammar a lot more than english vocabulary, and it’s been fading quite a lot the last few centuries anyway.
Native English speaker here.

I think what you're seeing is partially due to the misperception that you described, and partially due to the relatively (and, yeah, variably) anti-authoritarian nature of anglo-saxon culture.

Also, I'm not sure the idea of trying to keep loanwords out of one's language makes much sense to someone who grows up speaking a language composed almost entirely of loanwords. So that might be why you see so much fixation on that aspect of the Académie.
> The issue isn't that metrics can be gamed

The issue is that many of the most important parts of many organisational activities can't be easily measured through simple metrics at all.

There are barely millions of students paying $200k, much less millions paying that much for "no discernable skills". That's at the upper end of people paying full sticker price for private schools.

And I wouldn't recommend a $200k degree to anyone either unless it's from an elite university where the signaling and networking is worth it. Also top tier universities almost universally offer income based financial aid.

Vegetarian here.

Ugh. First: The vegetarians that I know don't like meat. So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb.

Guessing anecdotally, I know as many vegetarians as you. Almost every one of them is happy to have a good burger option. I'm sure some % would be ok without a meat clone but the utility alone of having fast-food chains offer good vegetarian food is amazing.
My non vegetarian friends have tried the beyond and impossible burgers and the vast majority have found them to be a satisfactory alternative to conventional beef patties.

Second: When I tasted an Impossible Burger, it was awful. It tasted like a horrible veggie burger.

You are probably in the minority here or you didn't have it prepped well. I'd recommend trying one at umami burger as so far, I have found their preparation the most reliable and
delectable.

TLDR Cloudflare released a privacy focused DNS resolver at 1.1.1.1, then an app for iOS and Android that set up VPN profiles to use those DNS revolvers.

Now the apps will be upgraded with Warp, an option to set up a full data VPN over WireGuard, terminating at any worldwide PoP.

This should give you super low latency to your VPN server, and also open up the possibility of local caching smarts on the device.

Basic service is free, premium service coming that’ll put you on the CF backbone for all your traffic, should take you off the public internet and speed things up.

Desktop versions coming as well.
The cravings are probably a sign that you are missing something essential that is in the burger. It tastes good because it is nutritious. I would eat a burger occasionally to stay healthy.

My experience here in France has been folks simply use "mail" when speaking of emails, rather than "email" or "courriel". I've run across "courriel" a handful of times in four years, and almost never heard French friends use the word "email". Personally, I like "courriel" as a word, but given that "mail" is the most used word in my francophone circles for email, I tend to say "mail" like my friends and colleagues do.
