You don't need meat at all. Meat is a comfort food. Don't worry about b12, you can find it mushrooms, nutritional yeast, supplements. in the past we'd get it from fungus, etc.

You can get all the nutrients you need from a whole foods plant based diet. No one need ever get heart disease or stroke, simply switch to a whole foods/plant based diet.

Animals get their protein from plants. Eating meat is just eating recycled proteins. If you want to get high quality original protein, you need to eat meat. Vegetables and Beans are extremely high in protein (over 15% of calories come from protein!). Just check out this calculator which shows all the nutrients normalized on a per calorie basis: https://kale.world/c

This is going to sound shocking, but the following is all true. and if you ask the people who actually do the research on this stuff, you'll see that it's right:
In the last couple decades protein needs have been grossly exaggerated. The media has brain washed us into thinking that we need vast amounts of protein. You actually only need 5%, according to the WHO. I know some countries will say 10%. In any case, It's almost impossible to not get enough protein from plant based whole foods.
I think I'd rather talk like I write.

That is, if I can improve my writing significantly...

Feel free to criticize people’s personal choices on anything from diet and exercise, to their career path or politics. Also perhaps prepare to possibly lose some friends in the process.

In my opinion the absolute overriding ability to create change in the world is to create a superior substitute and evangelize the fuck out of it.

Want a meat free future? Do everything you can to seek out, consume, and tell everyone you know about amazing meat-free substitutes. Hand out Impossible Burgers for Christmas (or your chosen holiday). Tweet recipes and YouTube videos showing great results using the product. Become a meat-free fanboy and worship at that alter of awesome tasting non-meat.

It’s a lot less onerous than the holier than thou criticism and orders of magnitudes more effective — if the product is worth its salt.

If the substitutes suck, they will not catch on. The early adopters (zealots) will pay a huge premium to obtain a premium quality substitute and then economy of scale can drive everything from there.

The vast majority of the world will not buy meat if a better, cleaner, safer, tastier, cheaper, and sexier alternative is available. Everything about how we make and package meat is pretty gross (can you say pink slime without cringing?) but the end product is insanely delicious and our brains go wild for it. Replicate that.

“Abstinence education” is not going to win on remotely the same order of magnitude, and mostly is just plain annoying.
Yes not literal black out, more like a time black out. Usually I'm thinking about something, and by the time I finish thinking about that particular subject more time than expected has passed (usually it feels like one minute), and I don't remember driving or walking
Well said. I generally also like to point out that many meats are eaten with some kind of flavouring/ sauce to make them taste better. These flavourings and sauces are nearly entirely made of vegetables and fruits...

I agree, the risk reward has to be there.

But I don't interview at companies unless I really need to get in. If it were some lousy startup and I'm interviewing there it's because I am hard up and need the job or it's tactically where I need to be next to get where I am going.

Basically if I am spending the time interviewing I am probably willing to do whatever it takes to get the job.

You’ve just read a long article that covers many aspects and zeroed in on your own hobby horse. You say there’s significantly bigger issues, but you don’t actually talk about that. Instead you talk about the thing you just said you didn’t think people should be talking about. There’s some serious projection going on here.

All while our only planet is going to shit because of fossil fuel usage. American fuel is too cheap, making this kind of excessive fuel burning possible without paying the external cost.
I just mean that there's nothing inherently sincere about plainness and simplicity. Some people adopt a plain and simple style disingenuously, and others write in a more flowery style out of a genuine aesthetic motive. In French, 100 years ago, the kind of style you're advocating would have been the "marked" case. That is, readers would probably have attributed disingenuous motives to someone who chose to write a history book in the style of spoken conversation.
As a German unicorn, Wirecard seems to be enjoying a certain national handicap which is absent from the British paper’s digging.

A Munich prosecutor threatened investigation into FT and Wirecard was happy to double up on threatening journalists, yet nothing seems to be actually happening. This strengthens the impression that Wirecard is locally protected.
How viable is IPFS for streamed/pub-sub styles of data transfer? Is there prior art in that space? I've been really curious about diving into writing an IPFS application to get to learn my way around it, and the concept I would really like to learn with involves users uploading chunks of data and a server broadcasting it to subscribers.

Sorry for such a rudimentary question. Literally just learned about IPFS this week.
I did not give a "political rant". I gave a run-on sentence (for effect) factual description of why privacy is a societal concern above and beyond personal concerns. I did that with historical listing of events. I am not injecting opinion or ranting, but providing needed context to demonstrate why the parent comment was incorrect - and dangerously so.

Also, the topic I wrote about was introduced by the comment above mine, not my doing at all. Stating that nothing bad has come from a lack of care about privacy is an inherently extremely political topic, given that our current government was installed in part due to this exact cause.

If you don't want politics on HN then you don't want HN to exist - politics is inside everything and drives most of the decisions that affect HN user's lives and their work. Talking about startups and hacking culture will always - by definition - be political. To ignore the politics of a situation is to invite totalitarian, fascist rule by specifically catering to them via choosing to ignore their lawbreaking even when it is on-topic in an HN thread, just like this one is.
That is an exaggeration. The DC-10 was operating with tier-1 (example: Northwest, KLM) carriers up until the late 2000s/early 2010s.

The DC-10's design problems were largely resolved in its first decade of service in the 1970's. Since then it has had a safety record comparable to other jet aircraft of its era and vintage such as Boeing 747 classic models (-100/200/300) and Airbus A300.

That rate limiting idea sounds very good in principle.

Unfortunately it would make the part about karma that's already slightly broken IMO into a major breakage: You have to write scores of reasonably popular comments to collect as much good karma as a single successful submission tends to give. That's on top of commenting tending to be more work than submitting. I've spent as much as half an hour of research on some comments, just to make sure I've got the details straight.

They can buy in bulk... unlike grocery stores?

Portioning food for you at a premium because you can’t adult?

Goto the store and back? Like, pick up a head of garlic, go home, then pick up carrots, go home, etc? Most folks in America do a one day shop to pick up groceries for the week.

Because individually wrapped foods is so less wasteful than buying even minimal bulk.

What I love about this, it’s people who never grew up poor who try to tell people how to live cheaper and frugal. It’s amazingly stupid. I grew up white trash poor. You know how you keep costs down? Buy in bulk and cut out the middle men as much as possible. Meal kit companies are another middle man with plenty of overhead both financially and environmentally.

These kits typically cost $10 and I still have to cook? Most of these are of the $3 to $4 range if you buy it all yourself sensibly at the store.
Maybe this is a hint that aircraft that are behind other aircraft should recirculate their cabin air instead of adding outside air until they’re somewhere less stinky.
You're right, I didn't try to address it. I also didn't make any assumptions of racism in my comment. However, generally speaking, I don't think one culture is better than another either and discrimination based on culture is also a problem. (I understand that this is an opinion and many would disagree with me on that point.)
The quoted text is verbose and tedious. It uses a lot of complex words to convey little information, both of these things negatively affect clarity.

You may have a preference for purple prose, but it's silly to pretend that the quoted text is clear.

I'm suspicious when people write like that because it can be used to hide bad reasoning behind unnecessarily complex word choice and sentence structure. If you care about sharing ideas it's better to write simply.
It does! We support plans and trials, with some limitations that we're working on removing soon.

The article also points to the issue of multiple repository management, and even includes links to three possible options to solve it.

The questions around "which repositories do I need?" and "how do I update all of them?" and "how do I make an atomic transaction [commit, branch, PR] across all of them?" are interesting questions in a multi-repo situation, but there are plenty of possible answers as well.

Some of them are just social in nature (read the README, watch/follow the whole GitHub organization, etc), so they aren't are as interesting technically as monorepo or "meta-repo" tools.

The so-called dark ages are not much worse than other periods of human history when there is were no large government institutions. With the end of the Roman Empire in the west, Europe came to be ruled by local tribes, in the same way that happened throughout history. Europeans demonstrated to be as barbarians as any other group of people in the world that had no strong institutions to protect society from their immediate power urges. It took centuries for larger government institutions to form again.
That page is hardly a reliable source, given that its "evidence" is the existence of pilots who died prematurely of heart conditions and suicides, an anonymous letter scanned from a self-published book, a conveniently unavailable video, a bunch of slides without citations, the presumption that a lack of official information about a supposed previous event (which has all the same hallmarks of non-proof) is proof of a nefarious conspiracy, and a death report that mentions acute myocardial infarction and lethal levels of opioids from which we're somehow supposed to conclude that the actual cause of death was an airborne neurotoxin inhaled 50 days before.

Well I'm convinced! What a well-presented article!

Appropriate Futurama quote: "Remember when I told you about always ending your stories a sentence earlier?".

Drew was doing well until he ended with this unnecessary condescending and hostile conclusion (and if you think it's funny, note that "the failure mode of smartass is asshole"). It's a trend of his. He's got interesting and informed things to say, but it's hard to really take him seriously because of this.
Even if they did come up with a new Macbook Pro or MacPro that wouldn't qualify as "innovation" and definitely wouldn't answer the question:

Exactly what area should they invest in that could make even a 10% difference in their revenue? What technology do you see in the foreseeable future that will be even a fifth of the size of the phone market?
Yeah, I think the gap here is a lot smaller than normal.
The statement makes perfect sense. A closed system does not mean there cannot be an external actor. Your statement however, is intentionally superficially dispassionate.
This is similar to the Tcl approach. “Everything is a string”, but the string may be something like “the network socket at address 0x12345678”.

GitLab Product Manager for CI here

Thank you for this feedback - it’s something we’re thinking about a lot too. We’ve made some improvements for monorepos (`changes:` keyword) and for micro-services/multi-repo (`trigger:` and `dependency:` keywords) but we’re not satisfied!

We have two open Epics - one for making CI lovable for monorepos (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/812) and one for making CI lovable for microservices (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/813). Would love community feedback on the direction those will take us and how we can up level lovability even more.
If someone comes to you and makes a succinct 3-point argument and someone else comes to you and make those same 3 points plus 20 tangentially related, low-quality, possibly irrelevant points, who has been the more persuasive?

If you have 2 strong points and 12 weak ones, you're generally much better off making a 2 point argument than a 14 point one.

> It is just stupid to say "this style is the only acceptable style and anyone doing anything different is an asshole".

It isn't stupid. It's snobbery. If you denigrate straightforward writing as "barbaric", you're a snob, plain and simple.

> Surface quality is boring, substance is important.

My problem with overly-flowery writing is specifically that it's about style and not substance. If your goal is to educate or to entertain, put that first. If your goal is to impress the reader with your loquacious conveyance of verbiage, fine, but you're sacrificing substance for style. And I personally think this sort of writing shows a disrespect toward the reader, because it's literally about the author showing off and trying to impress the reader.

You know how sometimes you'll go to a website and it hijacks your scrollbar to show some unnecessary visualization or a gratuitous rotating 3D view of a product? And you look at it and you can appreciate the artistry that went into creating the visualization, the skill that went into rendering everything perfectly and syncing it with the scrollbar. But mostly it's fucking obnoxious because you just want to scroll down to read the article or click the "buy" link and instead you're wasting your time fighting with the site that broke your scrollbar because some product manager was sure you'd be impressed. This is the website version of dense, flowery, self-important prose.

> DC-10 are not transporting passengers anymore. Neither MD-11. Perhaps because they’re known?

They were up until the 2010's. The design problems that led to the crashes had long been solved.

The reason they're not flying anymore isn't because they were unsafe or because people are scared of them, but because over time it eventually becomes impossible to find replacement spare parts, and because 3 engines are more expensive to run and maintain than 2.

Hive ACID solves a similar set of problems with a similar design (base Parquet/ORC files + delta files in the same format). It's a bit more "managed" in that compaction is automatic and it supports features like column-level access control, which aren't possible when you're executing an end-user's Scala code against a directory of files.

> That's a very different situation than we're in regarding post-Roman, pre-Carolingian Europe. There are hundreds of years in there where we have practically no documentary evidence for anything.

It is even more specific. Eastern Roman Empire remained functional until it fell to the Ottomans in 1453 AD.

But in Britain there were not even coins between the years 410 and 600 AD:

http://www.numsoc.net/darkages.html

"History has proved time and time again that when money is in short supply – the people turn to a token or obsidional coinage, no matter how base, rather than do without money as a medium of exchange completely. This has been demonstrated by siege coinages, lead tokens, brass farthings and merchants’ tokens over the millennia."

But there was nothing for these two hundred years. Not even foreign coins, and not any kind of substitute.

That's why these years are considered completely dark there. And that's why it looks like a real collapse there. So whenever we speak about some dark ages we have to be aware also about which land area we talk about.
You're comparing the total value of all housing to GDP vs. an actual percent of GDP. That's not an apples to apples comparison.

A quick lookup tells me construction is about 4% of GDP. And financing/ancillary services for that construction, if I had to estimate, might make up another 2% at most. Which is pretty close to tech

You could switch in-flight, but you would actually increase the gas costs since you’d need 100% helium for the trip up as well as the trip down. Also, the risks would dramatically increase in exigent circumstances. What if the gas container fails, causing it to make an unexpected descent? Even for a planned descent, there has to be a way to switch back to helium.

So now you have to have at least 2 times the helium needed to attain buoyancy, plus mechanisms to generate hydrogen and vent/replace gas. And systems/procedures to handle edge cases.

It sounds like a lot of complexity and cost added. However, it might be worth it if extremely high altitude is needed. The altitude ceiling could be increased significantly (not sure how much, but <2x) for a given configuration and payload.

> I would love to see a reasonable explanation for the rapid development of Western Europe.

Rapid and development in what sense? This topic is sort of contaminated by the fact that most askers of the question have a circular definition that refuses to countenance the concept that Western Europe might have been far from dominant (e.g., in areas such as quality of life or health).

In terms of how Western Europe came to politically dominate the world, this essentially boils down to them deciding to arm their trading fleets and have them act as a military force against competitors, and then snowballing the resulting profits into more powerful navies (and armies) that the other countries couldn't keep up with. The technological gap often wasn't near as wide as people usually assume it to be, and there are several instances of Western powers getting their asses kicked by natives, but the Western powers could afford to keep up the pressure for decades or even centuries if need be, whereas the native peoples had less ability to recover from attrition. At the same time, European powers were also able to achieve highly centralized states that prevented them from collapsing due to internal struggles mid-snowball, which is generally the historical case for large empires (see: Aztec, China, Inca, Rome).
