Low carbon production has higher marginal costs and tend to be small farmers which is the group that suffer first when prices drops.

The high carbon beef is basically all import here in Sweden, and there is no deforestation issue from farming. From a environmental perspective we actually need more open fields to maintain bio diversity.

When climate aware people stop buying beef the ratio of imported beef increase. In last few years we have actually seen an decrease in imported beef, which has been attributed to more awareness of low carbon beef vs high carbon beef. People buy more local and significant less imported. Locally produced beef cost between 2-4 times as much as imported, which naturally impact how much people buy.
This is exactly the sort of riskless sentiment that causes something like IE6 to persist forever.

> I mean, who are we to say that this was doing it right? It turned out to be beneficial but there are thousands of ways that this could explode in your face if you tried it yourself.

How would this explode in your face, exactly? What was the risk here?
Also means I have to get out of work just to make an appointment, then get out again to actually go to it. Don't know where you live but in Bay Area traffic that's not something I can do often.
I've seen this sentiment quite a bit; it's an oddly romantic view of systems administration.

Most of the time you're hunting through documentation to find the correct settings. It's nothing new in general, it's not some kind of exciting math that's new to you, and you're rarely actually learning how the thing works. It's mostly trying a series of things until you figure out that some strings go in a place.

I appreciate it more when I'm writing software, but largely because I can actually invest the time to really solve the problem, that it fucking stays fixed, and that people will get back hours of their life that would otherwise be spent getting frustrated and searching aimlessly.
You make it sound as if single-payer will lead to higher costs but that's demonstrably not the case. Look at the OECD healthcare spending, which includes both government and individual expenses: https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm

The US is over 2x the average with its free for all system while the single payer countries all pay substantially less.
Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | New York, NY (25% on-site with clients and 75% remote) | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to help bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' and veterinary staff needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. To do this, you’ll be working at every stage of patient care from the exam room to back-end analytics. Some examples of what your weeks may look like: creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time, designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders, or building a secure messaging platform for client and doctor communications.

You'll be working directly with our clients (the veterinarians and staff) using Vetspire, and talking with them almost every day to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. As such, this is more than just an engineering role, as, although you can code and develop remotely, you'll be expected to go into the hospitals every now and then to talk with the users directly, understand their needs, design solutions with them, and iterate on the results.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our front end is a React SPA using the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject).

Pathlight | Software Engineers | SF | full-time | onsite | https://pathlight.com

Pathlight (pathlight.com) was founded by two entrepreneurs who wanted to tackle a challenging and unsolved problem: managing people every day is really hard and no one has built software to help. After selling their last company to Yelp, they started noticing that managers in every department were struggling, regardless of how experienced they were. Engineering managers weren't able to flag, diagnose, and manage anomalous behavior. Sales and Customer Service managers had 20 tabs open in their browser just to figure out was going on. Every single one of them was reinventing the wheel and their teams were suffering because of it. After all, who hasn't had a bad or stressed or too busy manager?

Trey and Alex realized that, for the first time, there's enough data available for software to help intelligently manage people. The idea for Pathlight was born.

We're at this exciting inflection point – we've shipped product, have users that love us, and have just raised our Series A from a Top VC, but the team is still super small, with a lot of opportunity for ownership and leadership. Joining Pathlight now means becoming part of the founding team of engineers, each of whom will have a massive impact on the product, platform, engineering culture, and company itself.

Front-End: React, Redux

Back-End: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS

We're pragmatic about using the right tool for the task at hand.

I think it gave people permission to think of IE6 as outdated. It's far easier for a decisionmaker to follow the herd rather than get out in front of him ('nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft/IBM/whatever'): convince him that the herd has turned on IE and he'll gladly pitch in.
Even if you consider the context and era, Chrome is still magnitudes better than IE because the real problem with IE6 was that it was hard to upgrade. It didn't matter that IE6 was fast at some point because IE didn't auto-update and Microsoft often tied IE to Windows upgrades, which in turn were often tied to new computer purchases or long enterprise contracts. Not to mention IE's significant divergence from standards meant it was hard to coordinate feature support. Chrome, in comparison, is easy to update and conforms to standards.

Agile is so vague I don’t even know what it is anymore. Can someone show us how an agile should look when creating a simple to-do list project?
That's actually a very interesting one, and has been written about at length by a number of medical stats people.

Hopefully I do them justice to their arguments by saying that the benefits from supplements (if any) are tiny - as in a hazard ratio of death is pretty much 1 unless you are actually deficient. Equally however the potential downside of them is pretty much zero - expensive wee is what they can mostly be summarised as. Whilst they may be money wasted, the're mostly benign, save the odd tragic case.

If supplements had the side effects of chemotherapies however, they'd be banned straight away - without evidence of benefit, the risks would be too high.

For a more authoratative take, one of my heroes:

I guess it all depends on your reasons for starting a blog. The author of this piece is a marketer, so is very interested in gathering metrics to see how well they are presenting themselves.

Personally, I think slavishly following metrics leads inevitably towards low-content click-bait articles, something that this article seems to be actually advocating for. The silliest things will get a lot of hits while more considered content will get ignored.

Additionally, although there are worse things than Google Analytics, you are imposing it on your users for your own gratification. Perhaps your users don't want Google to know every page they visit.

Here is my advice for starting a blog: start a blog.

Install GA if you want to look a pretty graphs but don't worry too much about the numbers unless you are selling something. And if you are selling something, worry about sales, not hits.
Awesome, thank you for sharing

Although I run a software company - not a traditional, "small business," - phone spam is such a gigantic annoyance on our office line that I stopped listing the number. Yet sometimes people find us who are legitimate. I look forward to having Google screen the calls and provide some basic information to people who are calling for some higher purpose like to obtain pricing information.
How does this fit into Google's broader strategy? ie. why is this a thing?
Lenovo has a program basically identical to this. I wonder if it’s got any of the same problems as the Dell version.

I like the Polish "Milk Bars," however, they typically are subsidized by the govt (and as well they should be).
The best part of the milk bars? The food is generally cooked in-house from scratch, using very few and basic ingredients, and thus no two milk bars serve the same flavor. I hope they stay around.

Couldn't it just as easily mean that our predictions based on general relativity are wrong?

Either 1) the prediction for a particular galaxy is right, and there's no "dark energy" or "dark matter" or

2) the prediction is wrong, and you add a bunch of dark energy or dark matter to make the equations work out.

It's not testable at all - no matter whether predictions for a particular galaxy are right or wrong, you're still allowing yourself to think that the theory is correct. How is this scientific?

This article is a little disingenuous. The margins on model3's have been reported at 20% and they've been hugely successful in the market.

So now it makes sense to ramp up in China, in Europe and Japan etc. This obviously takes upfront investment before the product can be produced. All companies with a popular product face this kind of financing hurdle.

The difference now is that the end game of the automotive industry is now a fair bit clearer than it was even a few years ago. Most of the pieces are on the table you just have to put them together. Musk understands this, it appears that most other automotive makers are still in denial.

Tesla will need a lot more financing before this game is done. Telsa is the current favorite, and up one set to nil, but with a lot of game left to play.
Remember those "Best viewed with Netscape" and "Best viewed with IE" buttons that people plastered on their sites in the 1990's? Or my favorites, "Best viewed with Lynx" and "Best viewed with a Tuba."

The entire point of the end of the browser wars was to restrict websites to acceptable clients, i.e., those that provided reasonable support for web standards.
I've never been to a bar where I was required to buy something.
> I wonder if it worked in this case because it started a movement?

It was continuing a movement and giving it visibility outside web developers. The youtube banner happened mid-2009, web developers around the world had soured on IE6 and actively trying to kill it off since 2005~2006.

What the youtube banner provided was a way to finally get the word out, and an argument to give PHBs: it became much easier to sell browser upgrades (or not supporting IE6 anymore) when you could point to Youtube / Google and go "these folks have put their foot down".
If its not hidden, its not a threat to national security kind of "backdoor". A hidden backdoor will only respond to a secret token, you cant just knock on it and get asked "whats the hardcoded password?"

The real reason Google's products don't work very well is that they are an advertising business. They make upwards of 94% of their revenue from advertising -- not technology, not software, and certainly not customer service, an area in which they are severely lacking.

The idea of Google defining customer service standards represents a step backwards, not forward.

He was hiding from extradition to the US. It's incredible that this is not obvious to you.
A vulnerability is not as damning if it wasn't intentionally inserted to be a backdoor. It being easily discoverable suggests that there was no intention to hide it, and thus it was not intended to be a backdoor.

If conversely the vulnerability was difficult to find externally, was publically unknown, and was seen being used for attacks, that would be suggestive of a deliberate backdoor, and far more damning.
It's BAU for Chinese manufacturers. The question is not whether they will try to save costs on materials, it's when and on which parts.

The studies performed are the same ones, but companies submit it to the FDA first, who are more likely to approve, and approve faster than European regulators (the European Medicines Agency, EMA). The FDA are the most permissive regulator is what has been seen in the literature - there was a really good study looking at the same drugs (TKIs) submitted to various agencies (it's not the only one, but is the cleanest):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3769667/

As for thalidomide, yep the FDA had an amazing employee who saved a lot of damage being done, and shows exactly why regulators exist, and assess the safety and efficacy before you can sell things!
