I'm pretty excited about this to be honest. Having this available in such a mass-market, convenient location is a big change for me. Previously, the only place for me to get an Impossible Burger would be to travel to a fancy upscale burger joint in a neighboring city or visit my local White Castle. Having them at the local BK is going to be neat. I'm not a vegetarian, but my Son is and he keeps telling me that it's the way to go. We'll see...
I don't know either, but they seem to be Attorneys so they can navigate complex laws, or Engineers (Alan Mulally). They also seem to be well connected. What makes them compensated so highly is the large risk they manage, they are expected to meet shareholder demands. That said, some of it certainly feels excessive.

As far as I understand, censorship like this is primarily done by "incentivizing" internet platforms to patrol their own content. Some of this is done by algorithm, but a lot is done by human moderators who are very low on the command chain but have to exercise personal judgement on what to ban and what not to ban.

Many harmless words have already been banned in various platforms due to mis-classification errors, and if underground activism picks up pace, maybe it'll eventually crack the rather crude censorship method at scale.
I agree, but naturally I think that’s the natural interpretation :)

Speculating: I think many Rust rewrite projects are criticised under “for the sake of it” when in fact there is a clear decision that Rust is just a better choice in 2019 (i.e. the decision was not political, but the criticism assumed it was). Many of those will nonetheless peter out because forks are hard. Such a result is only a partial judgement on the original decision.
It's not possible to communicate the full nuance of any ideological group, especially not in every HN post or tweet. We need meaningful definitions even if these definitions don't 100% apply to every individual in the group. And we need to be able to talk about ideological groups (however fuzzily) to advance our (inter)national conversation.
Again, he has said his argument is specific to the SIL OFL and not any other license. The GPL/FSF stuff does not apply to this discussion.

Not sure how he is supposed to have addressed the "lotsa government lawyers think different" argument when no one in that thread has raised it, let alone provided any evidence of it. And again, for it to be relevant, these government lawyer opinions would need to be talking about the OFL specifically.

This doesn't say "vegan" burgers, it says meatless. It doesn't sound like this incorrect, is it?
The general solar maximum occurred during sunspot cycles in the 50s and it tentatively appears we are in a decline since the early 00s. Anyone lucky enough to have family with anecdotal evidence of auroras over the past 70-80 years?
Where is this sentiment coming from? Let the driver (who is legally, ethically, and morally responsible for the operation of the vehicle they are controlling) judge the appropriate safety boundaries of the environment they're currently driving through. A 45mph zone would be more appropriately driven at anything from 15 to 70mph, depending on so many factors other than "it's off the highway".

At any rate, don't turn a fine piece of engineering that many people have an emotional connection with, not to mention pay a lot of hard-earned money for, into some vaguely-autonomous, ToS-bound appliance that does not what its owner sees fit, but what its maker deems appropriate from medium earth orbit.

Censorship applies to behavior as well as words.

Indeed, unless Burger King is using a completely separate grill for the vegetable burgers, some vegetarians/vegans are going to be upset that their vegetable patty was prepared where meat was and possibly exposed to meat, and there could be kosher/halal issues.
As long as it's described as "meatless" and not "vegan", it's not misleading. It's still vegetarian.
And perhaps these are the exceptions that prove the rule, being that they are such remarkable cases.
China is a huge problem, and we will have to deal with it at some point. She is seriously trying to become a world power equal to that of America or Russia, which is very dangerous and cannot be allowed to happen. She is toxic to liberty.

Victim retraction does not mean the allegation is false, and I've already linked to a crown prosecution service document that gives details of a case where the retraction was false, the original allegation was true.

We have 150,000 rapes each year; we have 6,000 prosectutions; fewer than 200 collapse because of victim retraction; and we have 35 prosecutions for making a false allegation.

> In how many cases did men confess to rape, and how many of those were prosecuted?

i: I don't understand what that tells you? and ii: we don't have reliable stats. We can say how many men entered a guilty plea.

2,635 Convictions
1,522 Guilty plea
1,112 Conviction after trial
1 Proved in absence
Are vegetarians the target for this? I wouldn't have thought you'd find too many of them in Burger King. I'm not a vegetarian, and do like a burger occasionally. On those rare occasions (usually on long journeys) when I do go to Burger King, if there's a good tasting beef alternative that's easier on the environment than beef, why not.
> (you'll be hard pressed to find many who would say that Amazon is paying their fair share given their $0 tax bill right now along with wild sales figures).

You can argue that even if Amazon is not paying taxes directly, it generated so many jobs that the income taxes that come out of it are already beyond what so many other companies can generate.
The problem with farming that is unique is that you can't get out. You can't get out without making horrendous choices about animals that you probably love. You're probably struggling mightily and so the farm has taken on a significant amount of degradation that is hard to explain to the future buyers. Things are probably broken all over the place, things are in desperate need of repair and you live with them because you have to, you have nothing. A farm is not like a poor person's house being in disrepair, a farm is a massive property that is constantly depreciating with no funds to stave off issues. How do you invite people in to even begin to solve the problem. You don't own the farm, the farm owns you

Facebook’s Ad Archive API Is Inadequate
I'm currently reading the Three Body Problem by the Chinese Science Fiction writer Liu Cixin.

It starts right in the middle of the cultural revolution and does not paint the party in a positive light. It'd be interesting to know why this wasn't censored.

I heard something about China being excellent at manufacturing, but having trouble with creating new industries and President Xi noticed that in the west those creating new industries often liked and were inspired by Scifi.

I wonder if this gives Chinese science fiction authors a free pass? It'd be interesting to hear the perspective from someone who knows more about the culture.

The beginning of the book touches explicitly on the removal of professors that disagree with the party.
Microsoft in the 90's before they used open source was paying its developers quite well.

If you optimize only for the long journeys, you miss out on the benefits from normal driving which you probably do a lot more often.

Please be careful with that sort of assumption, though. For example, I work from home and have a lot of day-to-day facilities quite nearby, so on any given day I might not drive anywhere at all. If I'm driving, it's probably either because I need to carry a lot with me to some local event or because I'm travelling a longer distance. There are certainly efforts to encourage more of this sort of lifestyle in planning new residential areas in my country (the UK) and reduce the need for routine daily commuting over short-to-medium distances by car, so if we're taking a long-term view then we should allow for that.

Typically an earnings multiple will be higher than a revenue multiple (e.g 8x vs 4x - which can be equivalent if the profit margin is large enough)
You say that corporations have a "moral responsibility to maximize profits for their investors."

Why? Why does profit have to be only motivator?

I understand it's a norm. I understand it's expected. Can you give me a reason beyond that?

It's not like Google is doing poorly and has to go to China to survive. Why contribute to the Chinese government's oppression of dissidents and minorities if you don't have to?

They also have very good profit margins. Would they spend less on R&D if their margins got reduced? I am not talking about reducing profit to zero or below.
Probable Russian Navy covert camera whale discovered by Norwegians
Good... TBH, I really don't like the idea of banks getting into deplatforming anyone. You cannot exist in a digital world without credit card infrastructure and it is emphatically not just private businesses making decisions, and should be allowed to do whatever they want.

The CC companies and banks have created what is effectively currency exchanges and would cry endlessly if the Govt tried to create their own, and have established policy, legislation and action in every country in the world to hold back upstart competition. They are effectively public trusts in private investorship.

Freedom of speech in terms of money exchange should absolutely be held in high regard. Deplatforming by banking institutions is actually worse than any political speech legislation against people or businesses could likely ever be.

I'm only saddened that the judgement wasn't far higher, since they probably paid nearly that much just for the lawyers already.
Most were contractors, so "hiring" is misleading.

Actually, I don't see why. The interpreter only runs inside his game. It doesn't root the machine. Why would anyone object to this?

Lucky for us GitHub unlike Facebook don't rely on selling advertisments to make revenue. Plus git is decentralised. You can migrate your entire code anywhere you want. As far as issues are concerned I am pretty sure competitors like GitLab supports exporting them via GitHubs awesome API. It's not as bad as make you sound it. Things could have been much more worse.

Even when you take into account existing expenditures, you're still on the hook for a huge amount of money. The California Senate Appropriations Committee estimate for universal healthcare in California was $400 billion, $200 billion more than all existing expenditures including premiums. See https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-aler...

The only way forward is to tweak Obamacare some more, which in terms of cost control has been hit & miss (as predicted by its authors, FWIW). We need to become better at cost control before we jump to universal healthcare. If we don't do that first then the healthcare lobby will takes the budgetary reigns the same way that the defense lobby has with defense spending, and costs will continue to balloon.

It's still vegetarian, just maybe not vegan.
In 2016, about 90k instances of rape were reported to police [1]. The lowest figure I've seen for the % of accusations that are false is 2% the highest ones from well reputed sources are in the low 20s but let's go with the FBI's figure of 8% (this is for "provably false" accusations, so it's still only a lower bound). That would mean that of the 90k accusations, we have somewhere between 1.8k to 5.6k false accusations. 35 of which were prosecuted. This is a prosecution rate of roughly 2-0.5%, compared to 5% for rape (this is the figure I most commonly see when discussing the percentage of rapes that are prosecuted). I don't see much evidence to back up the claim that false accusations are prosecuted more frequently than rape.

> Censorship is being put in actual jail under threat of a gun for saying something.

I think that's kind of a limited definition. You can be censored without being put in jail or forced into it by violence.
> You could replace all instances of the acronym 'SJW' with 'Conservative' and your post would still make just as much sense as before. The only difference being that it would likely be instantly flagged and downvoted unlike using the SJW strawman.

It's very ironic you say this when dawhizkid's comment using the term SJW was flagged and it spawned a thread of people taking offense and this whole thread has been removed now. :-)
This is pretty disturbing and makes me far more confident in my decision to never set foot on a Boeing airplane again.

I thought the American airlines had all opted for the AoA disagree light, but now it sounds like Southwest didn't have it because Boeing lied to them and said it was standard.
Gosh, it's almost like corporate greed is ruining our country.
I don't see how this follows. An "animal product" is not the same thing as "meat." Meat is just one type of animal product to which people commonly have special objections. That is why the burger is accurately described as "meatless" and not "vegan."

> there is a implicit accusation that the accuser is lying.

No, this is a bizarre interpretation of the legal system.

A man can think he has consent and a woman can think she did not give consent. That doesn't mean one is lying, it means one didn't understand the situation.

This is very different from inventing a situation that never happened which is what we mean when we talk about false allegations.

Are you using your own definition for "false allegation"? One that isn't used by the English courts or the UK statisticians?
A bunch of your employees walk out in protest because they don't want to do the work you want them to do. Isn't it totally normal and expected that you would then sanction or fire them?
Sounds like a title of a parody horror movie!
What about the rest of the world, though? Granted the US has a greater problem with harmful emissions than almost anywhere else combined with a culture of big, inefficient vehicles that make these alternatives particularly attractive. But people in other places are asking about the future of transportation and how to make things more sustainable and environmentally friendly too, and the arithmetic doesn't necessarily work out the same way if you're starting from a more normal baseline.
As much as I like SourceHut using it now by org as big as ASF would mean a lot of troubles. I guess Apache, like Mozilla recently, was looking for product not semi working proof of concept.

Not a good comparison at all. Trump is a hollow showman who sucks value from people. Musk is actually an engineer who gives value.
First, it's not clear to me that this is what is being proposed - instead, it sounds like the companies involved get their surveillance tech rolled into other apps like adware. Second, even if enrollment in the program was done more carefully (people shouldn't find out suddenly and in unfamiliar ways about intrusive technology), you'd REALLY want to study this to make sure that the jarring warning doesn't cause even more accidents.

I'm not against using technology to improve public safety, but I'm against half-assed ideas which would never hold up under reasonable peer or institutional review without a lot more careful consideration of safety and privacy.
Which is arguably why the push is increasingly to "Not Secure" and "Is Maybe Secure" notifications over "Is Secure". Maybe that will help more end users.

My father claims to have witnessed aurora in Alabama as a kid, I'm guessing sometime in the 1950s. I was thinking this wasn't all that rural of an area either, although light pollution was arguably less than today. I myself saw it in North-central Ohio in 1999.
China is setting a dangerous precedent for humanity as a whole.

Not caring about what's happening in China is not caring about humanity at all.

Whats different from the attrocities committed by organised terror like ISIS when compared to the atrocities committed by Chinese government towards Tibetians, Muslims, Prisoners etc. ?

For all the boasting about Privacy, Humanity by Apple it gives away data to Chinese govt for someone to rot in their prison or worse death. So is the state of all other companies doing business with China.

Now that it's a super power, it's been flexing its power outside its borders. It aided in the genocide of Tamil population in Srilanka during final Elam war just to get to India at south. It has a military base in Myanmar & we all know what happened there.

Edit:Typo
I've NEVER seen a post make it to the top of HN front page and then drop so quickly. It's almost like there is a bot network that detected keywords that may be negative towards the Chinese government and downvoted on masse to bury the story

If the data is open, it would be very interesting to see who and how this is being downvoted.

I see what you're saying - "you can't be racist against some people." It seems unfair because I guess you're thinking of situations where then subjugated races can then be racist towards non subjugated ones?

Obviously the answer is that nobody can be racist towards anybody and be pure to a positive read of the sjw cause, but humans gonna human.

I will say that from a utile standpoint white vs black racism is far more harmful than black vs white, in the reality of 2019, so outside the rhetorical realm of debate of pure morals. Therefore I'm not sure even the existence of "reverse racism" (terrible term but the most universally understood to describe my meaning) SJWs does not indicate an sjw desire to create hierarchy.

The best description of an ideal sjw future I believe was captured and described in Walkaway, by Cory doctorow. I believe he offers the full text for free on his website.
Usually it's dependent on the person selling (or their advisor). If a company is very profitable (e.g 50% margins) then an earnings multiple makes sense and the advisor will essentially present the company in such a way that it's pretty clear to the potential buyer that they're expected to think of valuation in terms of profit multiple. Incidentally, lots more buyers out there are comfortable doing that then revenue multiple. However, a revenue multiple has become the norm for companies with very highly recurring revenue (e.g. SaaS) and where the company has been run for growth instead of profit. There are many fewer buyers who will do that though, and getting leverage for deals like that is harder (a big driver of returns for some funds)
Thanks, seems interesting.

That doesn't contradict anything I've written here, or anything I've written in years past on exactly this topic. But this _entire_ branch of conversation started with someone quibbling that I didn't rank configuration of remotes as a zero-cost operation. So, no, we're not both right.
I agree. I can see Nintendo being upset because it's not a game, but I'm failing to see why this is such a big deal?
I am not vegetarian, but I have plenty of friends who are for a wide array of reasons (moral, religious, environmental). This burger has come up with a few of them, and so far they are just happy that there is vegetarian option. They see it as important that a company like BK is offering a progressive vegetarian option. Not one of them has complained that there is a miniscule amount of non-vegetarian contamination.

Of course I see why some would complain, and it is important that there are always people pushing for progress. But lets not pretend that _this_ isn't progress.

For literally thousands of years, the vast majority of humanity has subsisted on bulk carbohydrates as the vast majority of their diet.

Peasants ate {bread,oatmeal,congee, gruel...} and not a whole lot else, for most of recorded history, and for most of recorded history, most humans were peasants.

It has to be more than just "carbs bad", because summed across population, we eat WAY LESS percentage carbs per person now than we did in 1100 AD. We eat more, period, and we exert ourselves less, and i think that's got to count for a lot.
I think that the Impossible Burger originally achieved its taste by using heme protein isolated from cow blood, but it looks like that's now done by expressing and purifying soy leghemoglobin in a yeast expression system, so I'm not sure what bifrost is referring to.
We purposely don't pin that down because there are always borderline cases, but if a post got, say, more than 20 points and a bunch of comments, we'd usually treat reposts as a dupe. But if a story is unusually interesting we sometimes relax that.

The restriction lasts for about a year, as the FAQ explains. Then it's ok for it to appear again.
I like White Castle impossible burgers . But, I actually liked the veggie burgers that Burger King already had . I expect Impossible ones being a step up.
