That's not very informative. It doesn't specify what kind of food went into the beef, whether it walked on grass or was locked in a cage, whether it contains traces of growth hormone, etc.
To be fair there has not been any significant changes in 7 years (just minor improvements and bug fixes) so it doesn't make a big difference to stick with "old" versions. I've been waiting for about as long for GIMP 3 and the non-destructive editing feature, but not sure it will ever be done.
This is just pages of uninteresting whining about trivialities. Yuck.
I was probing for the nature of your org because I hail from one of the largest student housing coops in Canada. It sounds nice at first, but the headaches/politics/etc are proportionately sized. We instituted terms of office for board execs some 6/7 years ago, though the internal power structures that people spoke about in this thread are very much a thing here.

It was a soberly disappointing read, if I'm being honest. When you say, "if we as students want something to happen, we make it happen - if we don't, it doesn't", I wish I could jam that into the minds of our members. That said, there was a post on HN about loneliness the other day that had over 1000 comments, and I believe that's exacerbated in our metropolitan city; an existential threat to the cooperative spirit. We're working on it, will continue.

“Users win when the browser market is competitive.”

i’ll get downvoted for this, but i simply don’t agree. i think users lose when there are multiple browsers. my argument relies on a basic fact: one cannot guarantee that a new website will work on all browsers without heavy amounts of testing. as such, the battle of the browsers shouldn’t be around engines, which simply duplicates code into different paradigms, instead it should be around ideas.

imagine a world with a single browser: all websites work perfectly, while implementing new tech would be a fierce competitive battle of ideas.

want newTechX implemented? then you’ll have to convince ms, goog and the rest of the community in order to implement it.

users would get both the competitive advantage and a stable “runs anything environment”, instead of the chaos of yesterday.

Of course this is always going to be anecdotal, but I never saw them in the north-east in the 80s either. The predecessor to the BBC Micro that I remember was the RML 380Z. I was messing with computers at school and elsewhere throughout the 80s, and to this day I've never actually seen a working Apple II.

I do remember reading about the Lisa and thinking it looked amazing.
Exactly, every ground attack air plane from WW2 with added flares would work fine.

As you say, real world economics don't work like physics. People are not atoms. Therefore your demand that economics textbooks should be like physics textbooks doesn't really make sense.

I think Geology and Biology do have a lot of theories, too. Would you say the theory of evolution is bunk and you should just collect data and leave it at that?

Can you explain how the US looted the former Soviet Union? Never heard that one before.
Nice phrase, I'll remember that one.

I had to read your answer twice to realize you just compared the "Orange Monkey" to Obama. Very funny though the only thing they have in common is that they will have been POTUS.

I think the basic issue with this inability to cope with criticism is more of this national/patriot attitude that many US citizens still have.
They think their country is the single most greatest on earth and that it is their god given right to rule over everything.

In real life countries like China act much smarter as they gain power and influence through superior economic actions (see belt and road project) and not through warmongering and invading other countries (see nearly everything the US does in other countries).

Still it's not easy to find ppl from US who just accept this fact. They instantly start to play their "commy cassette" just like when you try to talk about Russia. It's not about facts anymore and it's highly subjective so a discussion is near to impossible.

About NL:
I'm sorry to say that but NL has nearly no power on earth and they don't act that globally. They didn't elect some *)(/&%/&$% like Trump. The worst NL politician I know of is this Nazi Geert Wilders. I didn't hear him publicly inviting men to "grab women by the pussies" and stuff like that and he has no power over armed forces and stuff like that.

In the end I probably didn't quite understand your view. I said that "many US citizens have a hard time coping with criticism about their country's or leader's politics" and you counter with "all US presidents are high trees".

So could it be that your goal here was to weaken my critics in showing how patriotic the people from NL are as well to tell me that it's normal to defend "your country and leader"? I don't get it.
I also dislike this change and i use GIMP for almost 15 years. The Export As dialog serves no purpose, the Save As dialog can support all the formats like it did before and if someone wants to save the currently edited image in another format they can use the "Save a copy as" command (which again should support all formats) which can be made to provide the exact same functionality as the Export As command and "Export" be made (and perhaps renamed to something more appropriate) to simply repeat whatever "Save a copy as" did.

This was a stupid change that added absolutely nothing of value, introduced unnecessary UI complexity and the only reason the GIMP developers did not revert despite all the users requesting it is arrogance as they believe to know better than their own users (which is to be expected by anything related GNOME - see the file dialog woes).

Of course GIMP is free and open source so it isn't like they owe anyone a better UX or anything, they could replace all brushes with bananas and drop all file formats except BMP and nobody would have any right to demand anything from them. But at the same time that doesn't (and shouldn't) stop others from calling stinky something that smells bad.
The differential serving sounds like a neat idea. Naturally, everyone not using the newest version of Firefox or Safari will go to hell eventually, but until then it could really improve the web for a lot of people.
One would think so, but if you look at the amount of available multitracks vs actual fan remixes made with those multitracks... it doesn't seem like people are very interested in making new mixes of old material.
Not being a UX/ergonomics buff, I wonder how something like this might be employed in software UIs, particularly those controlling/monitoring safety-critical systems.

Any UX experts in the house?
> How can a rule that doesn't apply to inbound connections possibly do anything about the behavior of inbound connections?

Outside of exotic situations, part of setting up a NAT is putting your internal hosts on a private IP range. This makes inbound packets impossible (if your ISP didn't screw up).

Even if you didn't do that, all you have to clarify is that you're replacing the existing routing rules with NAT. Mystery solved.
> Steele's Lisp, has a number of functions that one could strip out and nobody would care or notice very much.

Common Lisp is kind of a language and a library. Parts of the library would be optional. Some standardization efforts (EuLisp, R6RS, ...) tried to defined a Lisp like-language in layers/modules/libs later on.

Totally not ignoring the ownership structure of the SCMP. As I said earlier in another comment in this thread, following the money is almost always a good idea. But I invite readers to decide for themselves by examining the goods, not just the money behind it. This applies to every publication that has an owner or a leader.

I appreciate that you acknowledged the comparison wasn't ideal.

Zhao Wei, Gui Minhai, and staff resignations are all issues people have raised over and over again, and I think the scrutiny is justified. I wasn't around when those things happened, though, so I don't know more than you do.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your reasoning.

That's absolutely incredible. Not that I don't believe you, more that I find it incredibly stupid of them to think that you could be intimidated like that.

This is a problem that cannot be solved by hard and fast rules.

There needs to be a decision making process that can guide the R&D project.

Unless of course goals, progress, etc. can somehow be quantified. (But these are complex projects, complex goals, even coming up with relevant metrics is hard, and somehow coming up with one utility function is kind of impossible - without spending a lot of money on R&D for that, but then you're back to square one.)

That said, yes, risk should be better spread, but also the following are all critically related to public spending/procurement: Personal accountability and motivation, too big to fail, cartel/oligopoly, agent-principal problems, corruption, institutional deadlock, too much bureaucracy, bad responsibility-authority allocation, etc.

> People keep saying supply and demand is a broken theory, but I'm not sure how to interpret that.

It is broken, especially in macroeconomics. On micro level, it is less problematic, although the main criticism of atq2119 in this thread is correct. The things wrong with it are roughly the supply and demand curves, the idea of equilibrium (assumption of its existence and uniqueness) and the approach that is inherently one-sided - one market at a time.

> When oil prices fall some producers seem to shut off their pumps. When restaurants raise their prices the people I know tend to cook at home more.

This is a strawman. These actually do not follow from the supply and demand itself, but rather from indifference curves (although utility theory has its problems too). Unfortunately, the theory of supply and demand doesn't treat multiple different products very well (even in substitution).

> I have a hard time imagining what those worlds would look like, so I expect your critique is far more nuanced.

I understand. You don't know the alternative, so you cannot imagine a different world.

If you want a good overview of the criticism, read Steve Keen's Debunking Economics. He has two chapters devoted to problems of the supply and demand theory.

And if you want see alternative, which is completely superior (gives intuitively similar results and more, requires less parameters and is easier to extend), I suggest the treatment in Blatt: Dynamic Economic Systems, first part. (This was also suggested to me courtesy of Steve Keen, but boy, it is good. Keen is not to everybody's taste, but everyone in economics should read Blatt. He is the most forgotten of all forgotten economists. Although I think the approach is not his own, I think it goes back to von Neumann, but I don't know how it is called.)

> then it seems we all agree on the general principles in broad strokes, and we don't need to throw out supply and demand after all

I disagree, we need to throw it out, because there is a much better alternative approach. See above.

You appear to be really contrarian about this issue (which can be valuable) for reasons unclear to me and from the looks of it the person you are responding to, who you keep trying to peg as being just as contrarian when in fact they really haven't said much that should be surprising.

Perhaps you can explain what exactly your stance on the subject is, and what you think the person you are responding to is saying. Then you can explain why that bothers you, perhaps then this person and the casual reader can take something away from this discussion.
People do go into restaurants with viruses though, and restaurants get treated very harshly should people get infected from someone or some foodstuff there.

Restaurant's don't create viruses, they just pass them on, usually unwittingly (and sometimes despite good hygiene practices) but one nasty outbreak traced to a restaurant can destroy a reputation (and kill a business).

The classic case being Heston Blumetnthal's 'Fat Duck' restaurant where 240 people suffered gastroenteritis (nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea) due to norovirus, probably carried in Oysters:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/dec/05/fat-duc...

Who is to blame here? Maybe the Oyster farmer, but maybe the distributor. It could have been a single employee with norovirus in the restaurant (or anywhere in the distribution chain).

Most likely no-one did anything wrong and this was just "one of those things"

"We also received full support by our insurers who found no fault in our practices following a report from a leading UK independent specialist. There is still no guaranteed safety measure in place today to protect the general public with regards to shellfish and viral contamination. For this reason we still do not serve oysters or razor clams at the Fat Duck."

Ask HN: Why is Couchbase Server under-represented here?
While Couchbase Server looks like a viable alternative to MongoDB, CockroachDB, TiDB, or even Cassandra, I see very little discussion about it here on HN in the past few years.

Is there any reason for that? Is the technology not living up to the marketing? Is it not hipster enough?

It looks like a good technology stack with easy to use server administration and integrated features most app can use (e.g. full-text search). I am a bit surprised that it is not featured here.
Going purely by target markets, I don't see how being privacy-focused would benefit them. The vocal minority that actually really cares about this is pretty small so it's not like that would net them any kind of real income.
Damn hippies. But rest assured you have not yet seen "the worst part".
Before Telegram and similar apps would you have been okay with shutting down the mobile phone network if a minority of protestors might have committed some violent actions ?

Or maybe instead of a disproportionate crackdown maybe just do what they've done since forever and just have police at the protests arresting whomever is violent.
Honestly? I don't really care what the constitution says, I think it makes way more sense for our government to have a blacklist of laws they can pass rather than a whitelist.

That said though, I acknowledge that you're right. Fortunately for me, the courts seem to disagree :-)

Sorry about that. And thanks for the feedback. What browser are you using ?

Personally I do not like editors that nag me about "invalid" HTML, when most browsers can render the page perfectly well even if it's missing a title element or you screwed up the doctype. A HTML validator should be straightforward to implement though if you consider it a must have feature.

The editor however has semantic coloring and indentation, which should make some errors obvious, such as unclosed html tags.
Absolutely ludicrous.

> In the twenty-first century, new technologies should liberate us from work.

No they won't, because if you don't own the machines or robots or whatever it is that makes automation do its thing, you won't be liberated from work.

> Technological advance will reduce the value of commodities—food, healthcare and housing—towards zero.

Maybe the author should contemplate what happens with market price of inputs (such as labor) when selling prices of final products and services drop to almost zero.

That's right, your paycheck would also drop to almost zero.

> showing how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and establish meaningful freedom for everyone.

Meaningful freedom (as defined by redistributionists): don't work, leech off other people's work or property in order to enjoy and prolong your useless life. I say useless, because if you don't work and have never produced anything you could sell or charge for in free market, what is your use or value to the world?

At least one thing is clear: they call for communism. Which means the only way it can work - for a few years anyway - is they steal, redistribute and consume wealth created by others, until it's all gone. But maybe we worry too much - it's going to be automated (AI, sensors, smart algos, what-have-you), so it can't possibly fail. Right?
I must assume you are sarcastic, unless perhaps you are talking about efficiency on an a different scale than the one I'm thinking of (which would be battery life and storage). Can you elaborate?

This is a useful perspective. Thanks. I have some colleagues who work in training at DoD. We often discuss how weapon systems (and training) could be vastly improved if well-defined use cases, requirements, and experience design were sketched out before weapon systems were sent to Congress for procurement. Unfortunately, oftentimes these bills are bloated with ‘advanced technology’ so that the contractor pie is split across enough districts to get a budget line item.
Nitpick: it's 25% (or 29% peak) of clients. As for traffic... dual-stacked eye-ball clients see about 50-70% of their traffic go over v6 on average.

(What about percentage of overall traffic on the internet? That's much harder to measure, but you'd expect it to be something like the product of 25% and 50-70%. But that particular stat isn't actually very interesting; percentage of clients and percentage of servers/traffic are a lot more useful.)
How Cars Transformed Policing
How many bytes are typically spent on compatibility with older browsers? Have anyone made any research into this?
From what I understand, the idea is that you don't use a bundler, but let the browser download all the modules that your app needs - hence some features like the "differential serving" (a.k.a. polyfills added if necessary with UA sniffing).
> This was a stupid change that added absolutely nothing of value, introduced unnecessary UI complexity and the only reason the GIMP developers did not revert despite all the users requesting it is arrogance as they believe to know better than their own users (which is to be expected by anything related GNOME - see the file dialog woes).

I can imagine that they made the change due to many beginners being confused about having lost editing capabilities by storing their work as a png. The developers probably spend quite some time on the fora where users report these kinds of questions, so I don't think it is all that arrogant of them to believe that they know what causes confusion and what doesn't. Thinking that as a single user you are more knowledgeable on what is better for the over all ux than the actual developers, that I do think could be seen a little bit arrogant.
