I'm sorry but this is extremely naive or misguided view. Any real world complex software system, involving a lot of people of varying skill levels, will produce enough dependencies that every once in a while debugging is the only way to understand why something is not working. Whenever I hear "unit tests solve everything" I want to reach for a stick and beat them with it. No, they don't, not even close. At best, they test isolated and conveniently chosen edge cases, and in real world, when you integrate a non-trivial system, they are not enough. Unit tests are useful, but far from "enough".
Then they wouldn't get a promotion and most likely never attain any power.
> veganism is eating the world

I don’t think veganism is eating the world. https://animalcharityevaluators.org/blog/is-the-percentage-o... “2017 saw the highest per capita egg consumption in the U.S. in over 20 years.5 Per capita red meat and poultry consumption in the U.S. has been increasing as well, and is expected to reach a record high in 2018.”

Although there may be some larger % of vegetarians or vegans than a few decades ago, I don’t think that anywhere near a majority of the population will ever convert to that movement. They’ll happily continue eating meat rather than switch what they eat for moral/ideological reasons.

Would Humans Evolve Again If We Rewound Time?
Ronald Coase, who kind of invented the field about "the theory of the firm", asked in his 1937 paper "Nature of the Firm" why companies exists basically.

If you, as Coase did, generally believe that markets are efficient it is not obvious why companies form where the effect of the free market is basically removed inside of the firm. Inside each firm some kind of technocracy/meritocracy rule instead, and resources are not allocated in the same way as outside the firm. If we believe that the free market is the best way to price and allocate a resource (say steel or something), we don't we use the free market to price and allocate resources inside the firm (say workers or machine capacity in a car plant)?

Of course he talks about things that we now consider "transaction cost", it would be a pain in the butt to outsource everything and do nothing "in house". But another reason he talks about is the risk of your subcontractor going out of business.

So to loop back to the question here, if the software is sold to another company which we then buy the services form, we have the risk that the company could fail and we would be without our services.

Ransomware obviously uses Bitcoin because it's reliable, and can be anonymized. And people use Tor for child porn and "illegal" drugs because it's secure and ~anonymous. They're popular because they work. And in a way, they're canaries for decent privacy lovers.

Ask HN: Where to sell my startup shares?
Hi HN, I am working at at startup. I now want to cash out part of the shares I own from this startup, which represents interesting money.

I found different platforms like:
- https://equityzen.com
- https://sharespost.com
- and https://forgeglobal.com

Any experience or advice in using those platforms or others? There's very few information on how to sell startup shares.

Thanks.

At this point I don't want to understand CORS.

Put together a little script package this week, threw in some Vue and a Bootstrap and put it on our fileserver.

Now the Font Awesome icons won't load due to CORS errors.

I don't want to spin up a server for 500 lines of HTML/JS. I don't want to download the fonts, fiddle around in Bootstrap etc.

CORS is broken or the web itself has become broken if we need integrity checks and cross origin protection for using fonts.

> Can anybody explain to me how British & France culture felt about colonialism post-WWII? Especially for France, I would have expected that "being invaded and exploited by a foreign nation" would suddenly take a completely different moral outlook, but no, they resist Algeria separating. Why?

It's completely different, you see, because Germany is a nation of militaristic Huns who are bent on nothing less than the destruction of civilization, while France is the bastion of the Enlightenment and bringing civilization to the uncivilized peoples. That sort of special pleading goes a long way, especially when the main proponents are trapped in an echo chamber and seriously believe that their colonizing missions are well-accepted by the native populations.

> It's claiming that patrons and other financial supporters are being too conservative, asking for too much certainty about the finished product

There's a reason for this, of course - most customers don't want to incur hard-to-assess risk. Creators could deal with this by self-insuring and offering some sort of money-back guarantee, but of course this comes with additional challenges-- including having to raise a larger amount in the first place to offset the possibility of failure, which still makes for sharply-lower "tolerance" of failure-prone projects! In general, it could even be that just letting the chips fall where they may is the least bad approach, for all its clear drawbacks.

The data was a 19Mb web server log file so pretty standard stuff. I've heard these sort of excuses for Perl 6's sluggishness before. Whatever exalted abilities Perl 6 may have it's pretty meaningless if that comes at the expense of performance on more basic tasks. Besides, modern Rubies use utf-8 by default so the comparison still stands. I'd also be surprised if the latest Perl 5 wasn't also unicode compatible.
Your point is good, but there are some issues with it.

The person who is there might be bad, but in person means that person gets real time feedback on if the student understands. This factor alone makes not so good teachers better than a video of the best teacher.

If Khan is not the only teacher that means the student needs to figure out which teacher is a good one. There are too many potential great teachers to wade through them all.

Then there are great lectures who will teach you something wrong. I don't care how great you are at presentation, if you are teaching the world sits on the back of a giant turtle you shouldn't teach. This example seems trivial but for a subject the student doesn't know how are they to know the teacher is right?

Wow, seriously? I'm a huge SpaceX fanboy, but I hadn't even considered the BFR as a probe launcher.

But then, that does sort of align with my statement: it's gonna need a loooot of energy to catch up.

But wouldn't that be neat? BFR is going to be relatively cheap to launch so we could do a lot with it. Imagine if it launched a probe similar to Voyager, but built to go faster, farther out, even more resilient, even more power and instruments. Throw in a solar sail to gain even further speed on its way out.

The future keeps looking cooler and cooler, if we can just not kill each other.
Is that actually true though? My understanding is that most of the works of the Renaissance Masters were commissions so presumably someone valued them.

It seems to me that the problem is that at some point the idea developed that making art that is meaningful to the masses is beneath an "artist" and that is the point at which "artist" ceased to be a viable career path.
Another idea to try is to reverse the problem : Wake up earlier, work for yourself first and go to work after.

Do nothing productive after work, reserve it for sport / family.

Contracts were designed so that they can be checked statically.

I think so, yes. I have encountered this with Facebook pages, too. Either you go straight viral and get a constant stream of followers each day/week/month, or you flat out.

For one project 700 likes was the end. I collected those in a few months due to natural growth and then it suddenly stopped. With 700 likes to the page there were only around 150-200 impressions per post (no matter time or day or post content) and Facebook _heavily_ offered me to use their ads to push my views.

Tell me what you want, this is about monetization of their platforms, nothing else.

The communities for these games decide what categories are run, so if lots of people agree that e.g. memory corruption is no fun they can either restrict it to a special category or forbid it outright.

It's pretty rare to have games where only the deeply technical memory glitch speed runs are a thing, much more often that's either a category few bother with or its forbidden.

It's more common in TAS because a TAS can manipulate things to a state where it's hilarious. e.g the increasingly deranged "correct" answers to TASbot brain age.
I don't like apple products but holy shit the amount of conspiracy theorists here is insane. Configurable silent updates for security vulnerabilities are an issue now? What about spectre,meltdown? Imagine if a user prompt was required for patching those.
I worked at a company that tried to do this - Willis Towers Watson. It went pretty badly for a number of reasons:

* The internal software was built up over a number of years as a series of hacks that rarely if ever got unwound. The people running the business were blind to the necessity of this and a lot of the engineers were not motivated to fix it because they were experts on the rabbit hole and were angling for job security.

* The internal software's infrastructure aged badly and we were stuck in a perpetual upgrade hell. This was again because the people running the business did not really understand the accretion of technical debt. Their abilities centered more around, say, pricing insurance and regulatory issues.

* They didn't know how to hire engineers and they instituted corporate processes that ensured that the engineers were both pissed off and unable to properly do their work and they were in a geographical area where it was hard to hire. Good engineers largely left, bad engineers stayed behind and continued building rabbit holes.

* They outsourced critical functions to cheap overseas labor and got crap as a result.

* Their response to slowed development and deadlines was to throw more engineers at the problem.

* They're also the only client I've had to sue for nonpayment of an invoice.
I think we agree that what humans ate as we evolved doesn’t really dictate what we should eat now, particularly when the plants and animals we ate along the way are so different from what we eat now.

As for humans being closer to herbivores, our dentition, stomach acid and saliva composition, and digestive tract are much more like those of herbivores than carnivores.

I don't see why 100000x better means extinction must happen. There are "fish" that have copper blood even though iron is significantly better, they are out competed, but that isn't enough to make them extinct: there is still enough oxygen for them to compete.
I would imagine it was less of a "training patrol" and more of a 2 day shakedown to ensure that there were no critical issues before sending it into combat. It's the nautical equivalent of a test drive or QA.

Absolutely. There needs to be a block this user right on the accept/cancel screen. Apple also needs to track who is doing this and repeat offenders lose access to FT in general or that iTunes account.

I'm sure all submarines have certain processes that can cause leaks if there's an operator error - diving with the hatch open, for example - but are there any that happen as often as toilet flushing?
Profitability is a great criterion to judges projects like this. Profitability just means that doing X is worth more than what you have up to do X. If we decide that one ton of CO2 generates $Y of negative effects, and you can remove one ton of CO2 for less than that, congratulations, that means you are doing something that’s worth more than the effort and resources you spend to do it.

You can’t “put away” economic and logical thinking. Indeed, failing to measure profit correctly (failing to include negative externalities in the cost side of the ledger) is what causes environmental destruction in the first place.

It appears the author avoids the simple solution of bringing more monosaturated oils into the diet. If raw vegetarianism forbids it, then it is likely a failed diet plan. Leaning more and more towards "keto vegetarian", I consume more olive oil to get those calories, and I am loosing weight still. Eating raw walnuts is supposed to be one of the highest sources of alpha linolenic acid, however upon visual analysis of stools you can see a large amount of walnut remains passing through without much apparent digestion.

On the other hand, the strict keto dieters are eating meat which has excessive cholesterol, artery clogging saturated fats and red meat has high loadings of free iron (toxic).
