Besides, if the person really means it, they probably have no idea what "every food on the planet" means.

The result of industrialized food production and distribution has been a steady ongoing loss of food diversity. You can search for the stats from the FAO. I believe it's 75% of food diversity gone in the last century. 12 species providing for 75% of the world's nutritional needs.

The current system does not have food diversity as its goal, let alone taste or nutrition. It does a good job at nourishing the pockets of big businesses, that have an interest in turning all manner of food production and distribution into economies of scale by commoditizing (as in "commoditize your complements") the product. Uniformity and shelf-life win, farmers lose.

I've seen all this happen right where I live (Panama). Tasteless tomatoes, thanks to having Nestle as the main buyer. A local cultivar of Dioscorea (Yam) almost gone, when Frito Lay's told farmers what cultivar they wanted, which exposed the local cultivar to a disease. Countless edible plants and fruits, better suited for the climate and environment, have become simply unknown to people, as cattle farming took over thanks to the introduction of herbicides (it's also destroying the Darien rainforest, and violently displacing indigenous communities, btw). I could go on and on. Meanwhile, you have technicians (Ingenieros Agronomos) talking about such great achievements as tropicalized potatoes. It makes me think of the Great Irish Famine.

So there you have it, food from all around the planet, and the whole planet producing mostly the same. We are going full circle from abundance to scarcity. You have to then question people inferring rather unfoundedly that it is the abundance of food (along a sedentary lifestyle) what is driving the obesity-related chronic disease pandemic. You have to wonder what is abundance. Mindlessly following the commoditization trend has driven us to unquestioningly counting food only by such fungible measures as USD, kg, and calories, as if humans fed on food like cars feed on gas. And this brings us to that process that I think is parallel to the commoditization of food: the turning of humans into machines.
Not that this explains it, but IIRC, caller ID information is sent (or was, at one time with land lines) "out of band", in a particular data format, that occurs between the first and second rings.

IIRC, it's done using frequencies that either can't be heard (ie, outside the freq response of the phone), or the sound is "switched off" between rings (quite possibly this, since the "ring" voltage is completely different from the "line-in-use" voltage - so this voltage change can be detected and switch the signaling as needed).

At any rate, it's a known thing, and if you understand how it works, it's possible (well, again, was - for land line phones) to build a box that can inject these signals between the rings so the phone being called will display it. Normally, this is done (IIRC) by the CO, but I think if the info is already there, it doesn't override it.

I might be completely wrong, though; it's been a couple of decades since I last read about how it worked; also, I have no idea how it works in cell-phone land, but likely it hasn't changed because "inertia" and having to support older land-line phones...
I had a similar experience in Paris. "No, no, no, monsieur; we make this easy for everyone and do it in English." Depending on your mood and charitable inclinations, that's either supremely helpful or amazingly condescending.
How Often Do Consumers Use Mobile AR?
You can, and I have, make your own Memrise courses as well. I'm better at remembering to visit a website than I am at remembering to open a program. It's a silly difference, but I almost always have a browser open and every new tab I open serves as a reminder. I always fail to remember to open/use software. The times I've tried converting to Anki rather than relying that Memrise will continue to be available, my study time per week dropped by about 95%~.

I was just curious. Not sure why this is downvoted.
In my country (Netherlands) there's some strict laws around firing; the situation you described (being a bad employee and getting fired on the spot) only applies for a few cases; refusal to work (without good reason, probably the most up for debate reason), theft, fraud, or severe incompetence. The other cases though require a more formal release procedure and compensation.

However, to work around that some companies get up to some really scummy practices. Multinationals especially, they can just let a company go bankrupt so there's no way for employees to get anything.

I always shit on Facebook in the past but I have to be honest, their ad campaigns don't require buyers to do keywords research which is often a major pain. In addition, they seem to know a lot more about their end users so it's easier to target the exact customer groups you want. Years of unethical privacy practices have probably given them certain advantages in this area. I was completely horrified when I learned you could upload a CSV list of all your customers email addresses and FB will match and display ads to this exact group.

At least on Facebook I feel like I personally have a little more control over how/when/where my ads will appear as opposed to Google's process where much of it is dictated by their algorithms. Not a fan of Facebook still but I can totally see why their ad products are working well for some businesses.
ulids and all other attemps to solve this on the taxonomy are either forcing a concept onto your data (what if date is irrelevant?) and gives you false assumptions on distributed systems (just because you can get IDs up to cenrtain date, does it means all the shards had a chance to sync back?)

That works for me. I'm not famous enough to merit a Wikipedia page, and I don't really care if I'm on the first page of a search for my name. (Some other person with the same name does.)

Show HN: MLT2FCP, a Kdenlive – Davinci Resolve Converter
TLDR: Quick and dirty MLT (Kdenlive / Shotcut, etc) to FCPXML (Final Cut Pro, Davinci Resolve) converter: https://github.com/ggambetta/mlt2fcp

The topic of open source video editors has come up a couple of times recently on HN [0] [1]. As I've commented in these threads, I used to be a big fan of Kdenlive, but after trying Davinci Resolve [2] (free as in beer), I don't see myself going back to any of the non-professional editors.

I've recently finished editing a couple of feature films [3] [4] using Resolve, so I went back to an unfinished project I had on Kdenlive. Turns out there's no way to export from Kdenlive to anything Resolve can import, so I wrote a quick and dirty importer over the weekend.

I realise it's pretty niche, but I've decided to release it as open source (GPLv3) anyway: https://github.com/ggambetta/mlt2fcp

Someone above mentioned Shinola which is, sadly typical of "US products" -basically they're LARPing at "quality" -selling to the type of people who pay $100 for a trip to a 1950s looking barber shop, or who go on expensive trips up the coast on the Jeremiah O'Brien liberty ship.
Many companies explicitly pass VAT to the consumer. For example, I have to pay VAT as a line item on the rent for my coworking space.

VAT is the reason a MacBook is hundreds of dollars more expensive to buy in Europe than in the US.

I’m an American living in UK. I bought a jacket here, wore it home, and then forgot it, so I had my mom send it to be in the UK (where I bought it). She declared its value and so I had to pay £35 in VAT for a jacket I bought in the UK for £150.

VAT also makes it difficult for companies in a VAT jurisdiction to compete on price with companies in other jurisdictions, and for small businesses to sell internationally.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard someone talk about how great VAT is. It’s a system you implement when your country fails to innovate and instead siphons off the innovation of others.

That's like a PO Box location being liable for someone's fraud, or even a software or hardware provider, like Microsoft or Dell, being liable for providing assistance in the crime.

It's an answering service for a phone line. Are they supposed to magically know that the people are calling from some robocall and not because it's a semi-large real estate office somewhere? Perhaps the best way to to let them know is to inform them. Then they have a choice to make, investigate whether the accusations are true and decide whether to continue providing service. At that point, they may actually be responsible for something.

Agreed - in particular because PIV doesn’t prevent other apps subsequently using the device as gpg-agent does (necessitating unplugging and replacing it in the USB port).

On the flip side, with PIV there’s no way I’ve seen to have it allow access for a short period of time (eg the way gpg can cache the pin for a set number of seconds) instead of per request which can get a bit annoying if you are invoking ssh repeatedly (which I seem to do a fair bit).

Would also reference the excellent yubioath tool for adding TOTP passwords on sites which don’t support FIDO/U2F - it’s very very easy to use and if you have an Android phone and an NFC enabled yubikey you can use there too.

If you haven't been already, the Imperial Gardens in Tokyo are very much worth a visit. I don't think I've ever been in an area that just felt so sacred.

It's amazing.

SEBI bars NSE from Securities Market for 6 Months in Co-location Scam
By the logic that justifies subsidizing low margin businesses, housing, food, and other necessities should also be tax free.

Let’s say you make $100,000 a year as a school teacher in SF, and pay $7K a month for a three bedroom house for your family. That’s $84K just for housing. Food clearly uses up more than the rest.

If people and corporations were taxed the same, you could carry over the loss to a future year where your spouse cashed out some stock (or you got a job that paid a living wage).

Alternatively, we could pay everyone a fair wage, and stop subsidizing zero margin businesses that can’t afford the labor costs (which means things like gas would cost a bit more).

I’m for the latter. People have to work in these zero margin places, and their employers should figure out how to make more of a profit (and pay better), or go under.

Why should my taxes subsidize petroleum distributors, Walmart, Amazon, etc?

Hey, at least you understand I was contrasting with German philosophical traditions. Now Hayek and probably others in the Austrian school were also wary of empiricism, and what we have in the US is neither free market or welfare state, but some zombie compromise which has much of the downsides of both.

Same in Oregon. I'm guessing it has something to do with intersections controlled by "yield" signs in California, which we don't see many of here.
Because I can afford mediocre housing and put 50-100k per year in savings, which to me is a lot of money.

However, when the townhome next door sells for $4 million, that savings rate isn’t getting me anywhere (here) very quickly.

And thus I’m playing the same game everyone else I know here is playing: stockpile savings that are worth a little here and in a few years take them somewhere that they’re worth a lot.

Not necessarily. Python has a few huge advantages that aren't (directly) related to the quality or utility of the language. For example, hiring and training people to use Python is going to be easier and cheaper than hiring and training people to use C++. Additionally, as mentioned in the article, Python has a massive and healthy ecosystem of high quality packages.

And then there's the cost of porting an existing codebase to a new language...

When "everything is urgent", you're setting yourself up for failure, because you won't have the resources to address all issues at the same time. Pick one battle, and win it. Then reprioritize.

People have already lost faith in both, quite a long time ago in fact. So start fixing things by solving the problem one step at a time, big enough for people to notice and gain hope for future development, and small enough that you can fail without drastically affecting the overall change.

Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. There are lots of watches worth orders of magnitude more than $500. If you can buy a $10,000 Rolex today and sell it tomorrow for $11,000 it was worth it, right?

Plus, nobody is buying a $50,000 Patek because it solves the problem of showing what time it is. It's about appreciation of artistry and craftsmanship and letting other people know that you are the kind of person to wear a Patek.

Price fixing in the NAND market has been rife for years now. All the same companies that have previously been busted for price fixing DRAM, LCD panels, then DRAM again, are involved in NAND. There is no rational reason why SSD storage should be as expensive as mechanical storage, let alone come at a premium. No rare materials are involved. No exotic manufacturing processes are needed. It's just a stupid regular grid of NAND cells. They're used in parallel, so it's hard to make them slow, not fast. By every logical measure, we should be able to get 10TB SSDs for $100. Instead, we see mechanical hard drive manufacturers stuffing high powered intricately machined motors into helium-charged cases with platters coated with rubidium and other rare exotic materials now talking about adding lasers into the mix and somehow THAT is the cheap option for capacity.

It's really pretty absurd how far they're pushing their price-fixing, but I suppose it's been made clear to them that this time they won't be busted for it. South Koreas president closed the investigation into it shortly before being jailed for corruption, and I haven't heard anything about re-opening it.
Note though that this Tectonic is based on a fork of the tangled XeTeX sources (i.e. not the actual WEB source code but the machine-generated C translation) as of some past date. This is a very weird choice probably due to the author (understandably) not being able to make sense of the mess of TeX sources to figure out what's the actual source code. As a consequence, already it has begun to diverge; for instance it does not contain the \expanded primitive that was added to XeTeX last year. Overall, Tectonic seems to have many good ideas, but suffers from being not too familiar with TeX itself and the TeX ecosystem.

"smart students" learn to read their teachers and know how to feedback the expected answers even if they don't agree or believe in it. A lesson that's very much needed in life.

> A lot have not learned this lesson and this is why many of us on this site still marvel at the bullshit companies raising millions and wondering HTF! Because those "smart founders" learned how to feed BS that their audience expected back to them.

> I learned this lesson when I took humanities, it was so stupid, but I knew exactly what the teacher wanted to hear when we studied architectures & paintings. It was all subjective and her own opinion. I fed her back her crap and I passed the class.

Telling something even though you don't believe in it for personal gain is called cunningness.

I see many people misunderstand smartness with cunningness, people who are smart can be cunning as well but they chose not to.

Right, the point I'm making is that warning people to stay out is futile. If someone wants to keep you out, it's because they're protecting something valuable. On the other hand if they're not trying to keep you out, but keep something in, is that really somewhere you want to enter?
At a price tag of $30, you're better off buying a U2F hardware key such as a Solo[0], a YubiKey, or Google's Titan.

TOTP is still vulnerable to phishing attacks and MitM, while U2F machine-verifies the application ID, thus making phishing impossible (unless the phishing site tricks the user into using a non-U2F backup method for 2FA.) The downside is limited adoption, such as no support from Safari, and no support on most websites today. But I expect U2F to have a bright future ahead.
