Hetzner specifically is not unlimited/unmetered: You get a ridiculous amount of traffic included, and then you pay per TB.

The current price per TB is 1 EUR + VAT if applicable, so even if we assume you'll have to pay the German VAT, it's 1.35 USD/TB.
A more real world comparison is an electric bike commute. If the extra power for a cycle commute comes from human food then it's entirely possible that the extra carbon cost of making and charging the battery are a worthwhile investment to help save carbon footprint even though the bike is now heavier.

As you say, vegan vs carnivore (and red vs other meats) would be a factor just as whether the electric power comes from renewable or fossil power.

And to get super complicated you could then weigh the cost of healthcare if the rider is using less physical exertion.
I've been super impressed by Xiaomi's products.

The other day I found a deal on a Mi A2 for only $150 and it feels like a $400-500 device. Plus it runs Android One, so pretty much stock Android.

I'm a bit concerned about getting China spyware to be honest but AFAIK Xiaomi has been so far legit.
Without Blender we probably couldn't have started to develop our VR app as a small startup. Also, Ton seems to be genuinely nice and super funny guy.

how would you design a CI system for a team of 8 developers?"

My last three jobs I was hired as the “adult supervision” as either an individual contributor who was more equal than others or as an official dev lead. I was specifically asked by the director those types of questions and how would I rewrite a 20 year old PowerBuilder app that had been maintained by two “developers” who had been their for 20 and 13 years.

I went through the training process they would go through, setting up source control, setting up development, QA environments, automated testing, and CI/CD.

Then he was shocked when I said that I wouldn’t rewrite it from the ground up. I would upgrade to a newer version of PowerBuilder that supported COM, concert the whole app to a COM object, put a C#/WebAPI wrapper around it, write some automated integration reads and contract out some front end developers to put a web interface on it.

Then slowly move the PB logic to C# and keep the stored procedures after upgrading to the latest version of sql server.

Finally move the stored procs to code.

All this to say, that’s what’s wrong with some “senior developers”. They’ve spent their entire career at large companies where they haven’t had a chance to work up and down the entire stack. If you spent your entire career “coding” at a large company, you’re not that much more valuable to most companies than someone with 5 years of experience b

At that job we had to hire some overpriced/clueless “AWS consultants” since I didn’t know AWS at the time. Now I could manage that. I still wouldn’t try doing anything on the front end. There are people much better than me.

Some of the justification I can see is environmental/economical. As per my sibling post - it's there to make sure that a rogue seller doesn't accidentally or intentionally cripple national food production by introducing a crop that is prone to disease and infects/crosses with everything.

However there is also "breeder's right" which is more debatable.

It's not possible in the way it's possible in SCons. You can basically use custom_target, but its usefulness is limited since there are no user-defined functions in Meson's subset of Python. CMake is a little better in this regard here, since it at least offers macros and functions.
Let me tell you my main point, and it is not related with science or who created the universe. Most religions(I am a ortodox christian in Romania) tell that God is good and fair, I look around me and I do not see a fair and good world, so using my own intelect I decide that there are 2 possibilities:

1 a fair and kind god does not exist ( a healthy in the mind human won't let children die)

2 god exists but and his actions or inactions are not on my liking, I can't respect and worship such a god.

Now some religios people will appear and tell stories about how we can't understand why god does X but it never convinces me. Again is not about science, I can ignore the creationists stories as just stories, the full God is kind and fair is what makes me convinced that there is nothing like this in this world.
I'm happy to share with you the result of this project, it certainly has been a lot of fun!

First of all it was shocking how many messages we had over such a long time (more than 300k!)... and it was very interesting to see the patterns occurring.
Next, I trained a bot for several nights (+ experimentation) that in the end does pretty well.
From the video, you can see that it doesn't take the current time into account, which actually turned out to be its biggest flaw, lol (no spoilers)!

Anyway, writing the "facebook driver" with selenium was fun too.
What turned out to be an interesting part of the model is that it had to split up a message into more messages (there's a difference between a newline and a new bubble), which I represented as a special character in my data.
The other way too - I had to make sure it did not reply to every message individually, but instead, I had it wait some time. It was considering messages starting with a capital letter as "mobile" (and allow a longer wait than non-mobile).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

I suspect that both keto and vegan work as diets because they both cut out processed hyperpalatable foods from ones diet. We should look at the things neither vegans nor keto people are eating, and those are probably what’s bad for us.

The worst offenders for weight gain are foods that don’t trigger a satiation response, like chips and dip or French fries. Foods where the fat to carbohydrate ratio is nearing 1:1 will cause people to overeat. Processed foods tend to have these ratios.

Consumer Reports recently wrote an article about a speed glitch based on the information they found on the ScooterTalk forum. The glitch impacts the Segway Ninebot e-scooter in the fleets on Bird, Lyft, VOI, and more.

By following a few simple steps the scooter will rocket past the governed speed implemented by the city to 20+ mph (30+ kph).

Here are the steps:

(1) Begin riding the scooter

(2) While holding the throttle down press hard with your foot on the rear fender break to bring the scooter to a brief stop

(3) While continuing to hold the throttle release your foot from the rear fender

(4) The scooter will rocket to 20+ mph (30+ kph)

Here is a link to the Consumer Reports article.

To be fair, country living also subsidizes the population centers, in that New York and San Francisco are not self-sustaining in terms of food production, not to mention the strategic value (to both the coastal cities involved and the country as a whole) in not having undeveloped wilderness in between major population centers. It seems unfair to say that there is some immoral wealth transfer from urban to rural.

Google won't be the same company in a few years or so! They are no longer the same company (not run or driven by it's founder's ethos)... most recently saying they will block ad blockers.

This is a really good point, and one that I think a lot of non-religious people don't get. Organized religion is first and foremost a community. It's friends and neighbors being kind to each other. It can turn toxic when that community is used to abuse people, impose bigotry, and demand blind loyalty. But that's not fundamental to the concept, and indeed many religious people and church groups don't do that. I grew up in a very tolerant, progressive Episcopalian family, for example. As a teen I went to a summer church camp where the theme for the entire week was sex and how to approach it with tolerance and wisdom.

If you want to understand and guard against the awful parts of religion, you need to understand the good parts that make people participate in the first place.

This article is published in the SCMP. The SCMP was purchased some time ago by Jack Ma. There were fears from various corners that Jack Ma, being friendly with the mainland Chinese government, would influence the SCMP to have coverage that was less independent than before. So it's interesting to see this published by SCMP.
Virtual Machine Monitor, often also called a Hypervisor (though this is only correct some of the time, specifically, when not running in a hosted environment.)
Apple has always been a premium brand. And it is reflected in the “Apple tax” (Mac and $99/yr annual developer subscription). If you ever have the opportunity to attend an Apple organized developer event (WWDC usually), you will feel that they truly want to provide the technology, SDKs, and support to enable you and your team to build the best app experiences that you can.

For the equivalent experience that users now demand and expect on Android, it is usually much more difficult and nuanced to achieve.

Google has gotten better at treating developers with love, but it is probably not their main priority.
If they did hide that information (which is still a big if) then they exposed many Canadian businesses to potential risky relationships with Huawei.

If people just went public with this earlier we could have ended the "Huawei isn't hacking people and stealing their data" charade. Everyone get's to act so outraged publicly today but that Nortel case started in the early 2000s:

> An internal security study by Nortel suggested that hackers had also been able to download research and development studies and business plans as far back as 2000.

It's good enough for intel agencies to quietly warn the big businesses when it's seems 'necessary' which seems like the new modus operandi, at least in the US.
Take the biased source and run it through a cryptographic hash. As long as the input contains more bits of entropy than the length of the output, the result will be essentially 100% random.
The punishment for mishandling data does not outweigh the benefit in collecting it, that's why this keeps happening. At this point any 'punishment' is just 'operating costs', and only increases the value of collecting customer/client data.

Forrest for the trees. Nuclear waste is trivial in comparison to the extinction level event we are causing. But sure, complain about nuclear waste and push for solar and wind that have to be backed by fossil fuels for some solid status quo.
Functionally it would be very similar to KVM/Xen. The goal was to be able to run full virtualized OS environments on large scale HPC systems to allow users to deploy non-standard OS images. This was before containerization with Shifter and Singularity came along. Existing solutions at the time (KVM, Xen, etc...) were all designed around commodity datacenter/cloud environments which had different design goals, mainly high levels of consolidation. The decisions made as a result were not optimal in an HPC environment, since consolidation on those systems wasn't really in the picture at the time. The Palacios project looked at how to minimize overheads in the VMM architecture while still delivering the features that would be useful in the HPC context.
I agree with the first sentence, but the second one makes no sense to me.

> Some of the add-ons on this site are commercial plugins available for sale by their authors. All Blender plugins have to be GPL so this sort of redistribution is legal

Only if the people between blender depot has a copy distributed under the gpl? Granted, the most likely way they'd get a copy would be under the gpl (get a copy from someone that purchased the plug-in).

But it does not immediately follow that its trivial to legally redistribute the latest copy of a gpl plug-in, unless you purchase new versions as they are released.

Study finds US fertilizer industry emits 100 times more methane than estimated
Yelp has always been a thinly veiled extortion platform, overrun by spam, yet surprisingly quick to filter legitimate five-star reviews.

I tried their paid advertising for a client in 2017, and have avoided it like the plague ever since.

Not only did the trial yield no leads, but Yelp billed substantially more than the defined monthly campaign spend.

It took repeated complaints and escalation to a sales manager to even get part of the overage credited.

My experience was:

* Near zero detail or transparency in campaign reports

* Deceptive and confusing budget rules

* Absurd cost per click (even compared to Google Ads)

* Sudden filtering of all the legitimate 5-star reviews on one listing, after we declined further sales efforts
That reactor would have produced about 800 metric tons of nuclear waste in its lifetime. That's quite a manageable amount, about a small warehouse in size.
Excess solar-based energy could be used to store energy that is later used in off-peak hours. Now, storage is a huge challenge (at least if you want it to be environmentally-friendly; otherwise - Tesla already makes a 300 MW-hour Li-Ion battery) - but it's coming along I think.

About cracks in solar panels - those are:

1. Mostly localized (i.e. not a dust storm and such)

2. Doesn't produce a chain reaction - if a few panels are beginning to crack, you would isolate them and inspect the rest. Even if they've completely cracked it's not that bad.

There is a strange man who shouts “no Brexit” very loudly outside parliament every day. None of the residents like him. He hasn’t been run over by a tank yet.

For forty years mothers of disappeared people have assembled in the Plaza de Mayo.¹ They have not been run over by a tank yet.

In Belgrade protests have been held for twenty-six weeks against government corruption.² The police have attempted to repress the protests, but not with tanks.

A UK student protest in 2011 continued for several months.³

There is nothing strange about protests continuing for a long time. If the party had repressed the protests with tear gas a week after they started, most liberals’ view of the party would have turned out much better than the current view. The point is that using the army on one’s own people is taken to be bad, and repressing that memory is taken to suggest that there is a deeper malaise that creates a general willingness and ability to use such force.

As for causing trouble, it is unlikely that those whom the journalist messaged will actually “get problems”; they may be put on a list, but unless they do anything further, they are unlikely to face any consequences. And had they, for example, held a public vigil without the journalist (or tried), they would have ended up in a sticky situation anyway. So I don’t see what’s wrong with the journalists’ actions.

As for the view of Chinese, it is up to you to decide what “China” actually is. Of course you should respect the “true China” in some sense, but many will claim to be that—the party, activists, people like me, etc.; at some point you must choose. The events of 6/4 are a reasonable indication of what Chinese unencumbered by excessive government restrictions on expression think, as are today’s in Hong Kong, or the long history of peasant revolts and political strife. The Chinese people’s reaction to “sensitive” issues like the Rape of Nanjing was unstinting resistance to the Japanese occupiers; to the ineptitude of the nationalists the struggle of the People’s Liberation Army; to everyday injustice the sight of the millions of petitions that are the mark not of deference to authority as it exists but loyalty to an ideal of good governance. In attempting to be a “tolerated guest” you necessarily have chosen a China, even as it seems in its simplicity to be the most neutral one. But ultimately all these choices are anything but neutral, and Chinese history would suggest that most Chinese would choose otherwise.

This also highlights why church or other community events are so hard to leave. All religious nonsense aside, this creates a space for people to just hang out and get some socializing in, create lasting relationships.

Also explains why it is so hard to leave a game. You're not leaving a game, you're leaving the community you've been playing with. This is why org nights are so important, its how you get together on a schedule.

This is also why it is better to be in an event that everyone in the family can participate in, since it is so important for you not to miss.
