I tasted the impossible burger a while ago and was underwhelmed by the taste. In NY we had bareburgers that provided us with the impossible before BK.

It's better than a typical veggie burger for sure but will definitely not choose it over meat.
>The fact that you disagree with "traditional" gender stereotypes does not mean they have not held true for large parts of history

I didn't take any position.... I simply said that for that argument to hold true you need to believe traditional gender stereotypes. Of course, as with every topic on this site recently, someone downvoted after being confronted with an opinion that made them uncomfortable or didn't exactly align with their own despite it being relevant
In America only one or two percent are vegetarians. In England it's over twenty percent! That's the reason it pays to cater to them.

My sister is a vegan and on my urging she tried an impossible burger when it first came to San Francisco and she loved it.

But Burger King is cooking the impossible burger on the same grill upon which they're grilling the meat. I haven't asked her but I'm guessing most vegans won't be buying their impossible burgers at Burger King for that reason.
I'm terrified that you are looking at the driver next to you instead of paying attention to the road in front of you, let alone at 80mph.
It's literally not my stance. And I've literally said that it's not my stance—in a comment (that should have never been necessary to begin with) meant to remove all doubt. And you know this.

To continue saying otherwise (explicitly, even) is a case of outright intellectual dishonesty.
Ask HN: Free S/MIME Certificates

Aren't the events themselves divided by gender? (i.e. what your are describing is a result of the way competitions are structured, not a symptom of preference) I don't live in a horse area but have family that ride high school rodeo out west, and I thought rodeo events were divided by gender so that women do barrel racing, and men do roping (for example).
You're right it shouldn't be a death sentence but neither should pointing a gun at your head with only one bullet in it and pulling the trigger.
They're both different versions of the same game to me. I think people who run these traffic signals do not realize how much danger they are in and I don't think such people would particularly choose to play Russian roulette. And yet there they are running red lights and stop signs.

In the split second that my car is in an intersection and and such a person comes barreling through, the best I can do is slam on my brakes and hope for the best. I'm not even going to try to get out of the way because that could only make things worse by hitting another car or pedestrians who had nothing to do with the situation. If I had infinite time to respond I might be able to think this through, but we are talking less than a second of reaction time here. Really? This is worth it to you?

As much as I am in favor of cyclists and I am in favor of bike paths and every other variant thereof I do not get the incentive to save 30 to 60 seconds dodging a traffic signal versus the cost of what happens if it all goes wrong and I don't think I ever will.

Downvote this at will. This thread had me on the verge of deleting my Hacker News account but then I found out you can't do that. So I am posting this final response to say that this is what I think and if someone won't hire me because I think this way I probably don't want to work for them.

As for that paramedic, he didn't start that way. There used to be this particularly obnoxious cyclist in his town that made a habit of flying through intersections and taking his hands off the handlebars and giving the fingers to all the cars he cut in front of. One day he got hit and broke his leg cursing the driver that hit him the whole time. Said paramedic was the one who took him to the hospital knowing exactly who he was and what he had been up to. I still think the guy was a Darwin award in the making and he probably died later on in life if he continued doing crap like this. If that makes me a despicable human being then I am a despicable human being.

WC Impossible burger was served too "rare" tasting for me. I hope BK is more regular fast food burger tasting.
I was wondering why they used EM instead of HF audio for positioning. Sub-nano must require expensive clocks and very tight tolerances. They need centimeter level precision not sub-mm. Maybe the speed of sound varies over 100m ranges?

Why not do embedded magnets or wires in the road?

I don’t mean to judge their decision, just wondering how they settled on EM for positioning.
> legal obligations to shareholders.

I've heard this isn't nearly as true as current conventional wisdom would lead one to believe. (to your point, those in power may feel they MUST do certain things even if they don't have to). If so, push back is one of the ways to correct any deviation and move towards a balance.

There were more people having problems than Tridge.

I was there, and I was told in private mail by the author of BitKeeper that I did not have permission to use it, because of my work on respository analysis software that looked like it would get too close for comfort.

That's without any reverse engineering. I never used BitKeeper, or connected to the server, or read the infamous "help" text.

It meant I couldn't participate in kernel development in the same way as most folks.

I wasn't the only one, and that's what I mean by practical problems, not just ideological.

You're not going to just convince the average consumer to not buy the $1.55 burger in front of them by telling them to think about the upstream. You need to provide them with a straightforward alternative. Right now a $5 meatless burger might be able to compete with a $5 beef burger, but it's still going to lose in the $1.55 weight class.
You can’t downvote, stories, but you can down comments.

Jenkins Is Getting Old
As far as I can tell, I'm the target demographic for this.

I eat beef (and other meat) burgers because I like how they taste. If this comes close, I'll gladly switch, even though they cost a little more. I'm far from vegetarian, but I've been thinking more and more that I'd like to slim down on my actual meat eating for a few reasons, including the environment, the animal living conditions, and the cholesterol.

The one thing I'm not happy about is trading fat for carbs. I'd rather stick to the protein and fat. But no solution is going to be perfect.
> Possibly Finland is too cold to have a regular horse culture?

Finland's level of cold doesn't preclude horse culture.

Finland only gets down to -50°C in its coldest regions. There are horse breeds that laugh at calling that cold. For example the Siberian Yakutian [1], which are kept unstabled year-round in places that regularly go down to -70°C. (+38°C in summer, so these things deal with a 108°C range!)

In case anyone is curious, you have to prepay $30 for the PAYG plan, and you get non-admin access to the slowest Mac Mini you've ever used in your whole life. It does technically work to build iOS and macOS apps, though.

>But equally, Raspberry could not trademark "Pi" or indeed "Raspberry"

One very close counter example would be "Blackberry". You absolutely can trademark common words for use in specific markets. Another infamous example is "Apple" as both a computer company and a music label. Had there been other computers already using "Raspberry" or "Pi", they likely would have run into issues using "Raspberry Pi".

I am not a vegan. But I do hold a lot of environmental values.

There is a LOT of interesting writing on the economy of the meat industrial complex.

In essence: It is totally propped up by with subsidies from the US Government. They LOSE money on every cow slaughtered. They destroy our planet. All of the profits go to the billionaire farm owners who lobby to keep the laws in place. It is so horribly corrupt.

Personally, I find it disgusting that we give hand-outs so these billionaire ranchers can:

- Feed us unhealthy food

- Destroy the environment with greenhouse gasses and farm run-off

- Take up MASSIVE amounts of space

- Use massive amounts of water

- Create drug-resistant bacteria by pumping the animals full of antibiotics

- create horrible living conditions for animals and suppress anti-meat propaganda with ag-gag laws

- Pay their workers in the factory farm a pittance to do depressing, disgusting work so the owners can hoover up all of the profit.

When Making Things Better Only Makes Them Worse
When working on a high volume web application I found data sketches (specifically the count-min sketch) very useful for finding and logging unique query patterns (Check if we've seen it before, how often have we seen it, if it's new, log it). Using a sketch bounded how much memory we used and eliminated database trips. In theory a hashmap data structure might have worked as well, but its size is unbounded given too many unique queries, while all we needed was an estimate.

Probabilistic data structures like bloom filters and sketches are really useful for gathering statistics on data sets that are too large to manage or would have a negative performance impact by having an extra database trip. So something to do with internal application diagnostics/debugging/logging is a great low-risk place to use these sorts of algorithms even when it makes sense to keep all business logic in the database.
Maybe not really what you're asking, but http://streamoid.com/ is a fashion startup investing a lot in cutting edge computer vision R&D. Seems to be real demand for at least that type of thing from some big brands.
Likewise. I used to be an avid gamer back then and optical mice were terrible for a long time. They were either too light, or batteries needed changing too often (in the case of wireless mice) or they just didn’t work properly on your surface. For a long time I preferred traditional mouse balls over optical mice.

As an aside, anyone else noticed how much better wireless mice were then than they are now? The range on those things used to be so far that I could control my desktop PC from the garden. Now I can’t even have the mouse two meters away from the USB dongle.
Prototype Design Pattern in Python
I may be missing something, but what's wrong with the first example? The fact that you can leak an object shouldn't really matter for memory safety if it's just a handle to an object that the server manages. Yeah, it could go wrong, but it won't be unsafe. Object handles are essentially file descriptors, right?

In general I think there's a tendency to overcomplicate safety features in Rust. The solution to an overly-complicated system isn't to throw the whole notion of safety out the window: it's to look at exactly what the complexity is buying you. If intricate combinations of Rust features are one extreme of the safety spectrum and C is the other extreme, there's frequently a happy design medium somewhere in the middle.

Edit: Looks like oconnor663 over on Reddit had a similar but more specific proposal, which probably works: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/biq864/comment/em2kip...
The implementation is based on mruby, which is riddled with bugs. I spent some time reversing A Dark Room before it got removed. I am confident that there are bugs allowing ROP, from which point getting CFW is a matter of privesc. We have privesc to bootrom on every firmware version up to 7.x (inclusive).

This is obviously bad for nintendo.
That's not how the burden of proof works.

It becomes the OP's job to provide fact when they state things and then are asked to back them up.

OP can then choose not to do so, but the one asking for source is not to be blamed here.
Is there a "hobby scale" way to do SLAM?
Cool "No True Scotsman" bro. Problem is there's no "unified vegetarianism". There's some degree of common cultural identity, but I know plenty of vegetarians who DGAF about the grill their food was cooked on. Hell, just getting people to agree what the term "meat" means can be difficult.
Ah, you're correct. I read one of the figures incorrectly.
Well, reduction in price means reduction in revenue, so I would assume they'd target the same 17-20% of a lower number.

Are these the burgers that bleed for no apparent appetizing reason?

If I see my burger bleed, I'm sending it back, because I don't want food poisoning. Not sure how they came up with this nonsense that they think people want to see bloody under cooked ground meat.
True, but that often depends on your definition of "good". A barely adequate but very inexpensive product can be "good" for its intended market.
I guess its the difference of intent vs the outcome.

Yes, you didn't ask for meat but you got some anyways and if you're fine with that, thats cool.

If there's meat juice on your vegan burger even by accident its not vegan, I don't think thats too weird of a concept.
I'm sure people will bikeshed about this, but if you go look up the definition of "vegan" you'll generally find its "doesn't consume animal products" and there won't be too many mentions of "its ok if there's a little bit of meat in something".
Interestingly I found out that there IS an exception for eating Halal; If you eat something that is Haram by accident, you're not at fault. This transpired because a buddy of mine went to a BBQ and was going off on how delicious the chicken and brisket was, and then I pointed ou the rib slabs and sausages hanging over it and then he turned a bit green....
Didn't downvote. You were positioning it as if it were a rebuttal to the above statement. You also didn't express a full opinion on whether such stereotypes are good or bad, you simply stated that they were a precondition to the statement to which you were replying.

I really like the jit implementation. small, fast, elegant, does not do much more than it needs to do: inline certain ops but not all, apply type specializations to some. x86_64 only.

“If someone tries to rewrite part of it in Clojure without extensive internal discussion first”

“single-handedly moving to a new technology and then forcing everyone else on the team to support it is impolite and annoying”

The dev you’re describing has indeed made some bad choices and I wouldn’t want to work with that guy either.

What I had in mind was more along the lines of “check out this thing I made, what do you think?”

Totally ok responses would include: “let’s just bypass the ORM here instead”, “let’s divert 5% of traffic to it and see what happens”, “this stays a prototype until you reach a bus factor of 2”, etc.
Thanks, great use case and I have to say I have to read about genomics... :-)
>> But, that's the choice you make when you choose to work for free

Choice is a relative thing. A lot of developers go into open source as a last resort because they believe that it's the only way that they can get access to users. Corporations have a near monopoly over users.

Many mainstream "Non-dairy" creamers, like Coffee Mate and International Delight, usually have dairy in them though, specifically, caseinate. So not suitable for strict vegans. It's a quirk in labeling laws that products that have milk-derived ingredients can be labeled non-dairy as long as they label the milk-derived ingredients as milk-derived in the ingredients list.

That being said, they do make vegan creamer, never had any myself. It's still a specialty product though, most places that serve coffee, beyond coffee shops, are only going to have milk, half and half, and Coffee Mate/International Delight.
You likely had the impossible 1.0, which is supposed to be inferior. I've had the 1.0, and it was decent. The 2.0 is very hard to find, even in California, but easy to find the 1.0.
This is the thing I worry about, technology is making it easier to speak up against the power but its also making much easier to quash any rebellion before it gathers steam. Autocratic empires like china are using technology quite efficiently to do this. God only helps us if an AGI or near AGI gets into the hand of a regime like this before anybody else.
Note that this can a religious concern for some people.
Being transparent and trusting towards your employer is fine as long as your efforts are ineffective. Once they start to have an impact, it helps not to be totally reliant on your opponent for your ability to hurt them.

Wow, I'm surprised that's not more well-known (that the USAF halted all deliveries of the KC-46 after finding loose material and debris in delivered planes). Amazingly bad.

I wonder what the odds are that the Dreamliner gets grounded (again) soon to have them all gone over with a fine-tooth comb.
If the dead remain on social networks in perpetuity they'll make up a larger and larger % of the user base and actually have a significant statistical impact on the ratio of accounts vs. active users. It would take some sustained high birth rates or a dramatic decrease in death rates to reverse this.

In an extreme example, assuming every human ever born had a Facebook account there would be ~105B "memorial profiles" compared to ~7.5B "active users". Or, about 93% of accounts would belong to the dead.

Umm, why did you buy one in the first place, and after such revelations, why do you continue to have one in your house? Instead of just listing reasons that one should not buy such a device, the article came across to me as, "man, I really love this Alexa thing, but it creeps me out. Why can't Amazon...?" rather than just throw the thing in the trash if it bothers you that much.
I recently found this quote pretty good:

"“I had started to make an email program before in, probably, 1996,” he explains. “I had this idea I wanted to build web-based email. I worked on it for a couple of weeks and then got bored. One of the lessons I learned from that was just in terms of my own psychology, that it was important that I always have a working product. The first thing I do on day one is build something useful, then just keep improving it.”"

Most vegetarians don't take the quasi-religious interpretation that coming into contact with another meat product permanently dirties whatever they're eating. Some do, certainly, but not most.

A more general definition of a vegetarian food is food whose ingredients do not purposefully include any product that requires killing an animal to extract it.

Note that the homeopathic definition of vegetarian means that essentially no food is vegetarian, because basically all grains and vegetables include small fauna that are inadvertently incorporated into the ingredient during harvesting.
