I'm saying the news articles are focusing on the wrong stuff compared to what we're actually doing internally. The news articles are PR pieces that don't outline the actual strategy in play.

> "The other reason it is controversial is that the Impossible Foods’ leghemoglobin is not produced by soybeans. It is produced in fermenters by yeast that have been genetically modified. Soybean genes were inserted into the yeast that allow the yeast to produce leghemoglobin, which is then extracted, concentrated, and included in the burger recipe. They justify it to their predominantly anti-GMO customer base by saying that, compared to a beef burger, the Impossible Burger uses 96 percent less land, 87 percent less water, and produces 89 percent less greenhouse gas emissions, and 92 percent less aquatic pollutants. Believe that? I don’t. But they are making a case, intentionally or unintentionally, for the safe use of GMOs in our food supply."

I mean, this is a great case for GMOs. "Believe that? I don’t" seems like unwarranted concern trolling and scaremongering based on zero evidence.
This is a hopelessly naive (and incorrect) assessment of the US relationship with Iran. The US literally deposed the first democratically elected head of government of Iran https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9...
I think you are simplifying things quite a bit.

For example, a grocery store might have minimum wage workers who help bag groceries to provide a better service to their customers. If the minimum wage goes up, then the store might decide to eliminate that service.

My local Dairy Queen, for example, might decide that two people getting paid $15/hour will just have to do instead of three people getting paid $10/hour. Maybe that isn't for all shifts/times, but just on the margins.

And of course it isn't just the lowest paid workers that are affected by this. Let's say there are two tiers of jobs at a particular business. One that pays $15/hour and one that is $10/hour. If the lowest tier must be paid $15, what happens to those workers at the next tier of $15/hour? Either their pay must be increased or they are going to be unhappy about having more responsibilities/skills for the same pay as the person that was just hired. Alternatively new hires will have little incentive to work harder to fill the next tier (since they won't get paid any more). So wages for the positions just above minimum wage also have to go up increasing total payroll costs.

IMHO, Anyone who thinks that hourly wages can be increased by 50% ($10 to $15, for example), without having a significant impact on any business that depends on low-skilled labor isn't thinking very deeply about this sort of change. I'm being generous also since the federal change is almost a 100% increase.
> A chronology of oxygen accumulation suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later eukaryotic organisms in the ocean that carried out photosynthesis more efficiently, producing oxygen as a waste product

So oxygen is a sign of life. Can we measure oxygen's spectral line from any exoplanets? Would enough O2 suggest our kind of life is more likely there? If we could survey exoplanet atmospheres in our neighborhood for oxygen would that tell us anything about the distribution of life?

> it has worked magnificently for years.

It surely did the job, but unfortunately, I have different experience.

- It's very space-ineffective. One particular thing I've discovered is that it's very ineffective for storing numbers. A strings are much more space-efficient (https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6304). However, there must be something else. I'm slowly moving to PostgreSQL (experimenting with CockroachDB as alternative) and maybe that's just me, but similar datasets with similar indices require significantly less disk space there.

- It dies under heavy load. That could be a tolerable issue - I can throttle updates my app generate, but there's no way to control replication speed. Trying to add replicas to some of larger tables reliably kills the destination node for me.

- There's no way to limit memory, and optimizing for this is hard. A node with 64GiB RAM lives okay, but the one with only 16GiB gets periodically OOM-killed (cache size on that node is set to mere 6GiB).

- Sometimes, it has some weird cluster discovery delays, where restarted nodes just sit and don't connect to their peers for minutes, even though they're reachable and there are no network issues. This is not a problem for large clusters, but I have only 3 nodes (cost constraints), where a loss of one moves system into partially degraded state as replicating all tables is too wasteful. Tolerable, but not fun.

Is there a platform for programmers to pick up an idea for implementing?
As a software engineer, I've always wanted to pick up an idea for implementing but could not come up with a new idea so fast. And as an individual, I also come up with an idea need to be implemented but without that much time to do that. So is there some platform for individual and coders to collaborate?
I laughed just reading the headline. Hard to argue their logic though if people are trying to convert people to veggies that look & taste like meat then it should be ok to do the reverse as well even though its probably more in jest than anything.
Hidden rooms with secret doors are fun. If you're handy there are some great videos on YouTube for DIY solutions that are much less expensive than the commercial options.

The best hidden room I've ever seen was in the closet of a child of a family friend. If you opened the lid of what appeared to be a toy box in the closet, there was a ladder down to a basement playroom. Children and ladders at least a story tall probably isn't a good combination but eight year old me was totally blown away by the coolness factor.

1Password tells you which of your passwords have been part of a breach. Many other companies will suspend the accounts of anyone whose login information to their leaked as part of another site's breach.

Other websites won't allow you to use a password that's listed as a common password from the aggregated passwords in breaches.

Lots of studies have been done on password frequency, such as the top 100 most common passwords and what security people can do about their repeated use.

Based on your question however, I'm concerned you don't actually get my point. You're being forced into action, exactly how companies are forced into action, by the availability of this information. You have to change your password if it's easily available to anyone who uses this API and who has your email address, you no longer get to pretend it's not a big deal.
I don't think Stuxnet forfeits the moral high ground. It was narrowly focused on attacking a specific military project. It's exactly the kind of thing I want the CIA (or whatever) doing, especially if the alternative is sending bombs.

Did you know it took about 25-30 years for South Korea to no longer look like a disastrous third world nation after the Korean War?

Millions of Korean people died in the process that made the South Korea of today possible. Was it worth it? Should the South Koreans regret their prosperity and freedom today? Should they have avoided the bloodshed and chosen to perpetually live under the Kim regime instead?

Saddam being gone is not a bad thing and the US should not have invaded the country to topple him. The US installed a functioning democracy with a constitution in Iraq, at enormous national cost to the US and to the Iraqi people. In 25 or 30 years, if the Iraqi people are even moderately free, living in a democracy and able to chart their own path as a people through elections, will it have been worth it? What would the alternative have looked like?
If you separate functions and data, do you keep related data in clusters, or do you keep it as primitives?

If you keep it in clusters, then you have all the same problems. Your functions depend on the structure of the clusters; if they change (for all of the reasons you describe), then the functions are broken just as much as if they were grouped with the data in objects.

On the other hand, if you keep the data as primitives, then you have a lot of primitives scattered all over the place, some of which have to maintain relationships with each other, even though they're not grouped. That gets difficult to manage, no matter how nicely everything composes.

You object that mathematics doesn't group things like this. Well, programming is not a purely mathematical activity - it's an engineering one. So even if your observation is accurate, it is not all that relevant.
I cannot believe that Microsoft Outlook, in 2019, is still using the broken word-based HTML rendering which is an insult to the whole industry and a pain for anybody in email business.

I would have more sympathy for this take if the average optometrist did anything more than prescribe whichever lens is offering the best rebate or whatever.

> any attempt to "satisfy the marketplace" will always corrupt a translation

I don't know how you're getting this from the article - everything he says about his efforts boils down to trying to change language that sounds flat and lifeless in translation into something that lives and breathes, and I think he's absolutely right to have made that attempt. (even if he misses the mark sometimes, like with the castlevania "what is a man?" bit...)

Living in JP I wind up seeing a lot of movies and TV with one language in the audio and the other in subtitles, and personally, "faithful" translations drive me bonkers with how flat and boring and explanatory they sound.

My pet theory is that it ultimately stems from the source languages being so linguistically different. I once read a book where the translator said in his notes (about Voltaire) "But mostly I've just tried to stay out of his way, for I find that he speaks very good English already", and I've often thought how hard it is to imagine a JP>EN translator feeling the same way.

What if the hardware has its own notion of sync. I am not familiar with disk IO protocols, but I assume they are permitted to store writes in an internal buffer. In such a case, I would expect fsync to issue a sync request to the device and wait until the device reports that the sync is finished. Admittedly, the phrasing of the spec is not 100% clear on this point; but I think the correct reading of it is that the correct behavior is to wait until the device actually commits the data (or at least claims to; at some point broken/lieing hardware is just broken).
I've always wondered a software simulator wouldn't work? Like a bunch of phone VMs behind a proxy.

Someone motivated to short-sell might be further motivated to state their case publicly. What's wrong with that?

Short selling is part of a functioning market. It's not some evil thing. It's one mechanism the financial world uses to gauge company value. I'm shocked every time I read this conspiracy theory on HN. The positions of these traders are public.

The only response to short sellers is to focus on your business. Responding with "it's a conspiracy" does not help your business.

Mossadegh wasn't exactly a liberal. He nationalized the oil industry and the very justification for Operation Ajax was the fear that Mossadegh would ally Iran with the USSR -- who were certainly socialist and most definitely not liberal.

Moreover, multiple US administrations pressured the Shah on human rights and, more generally, the US has a definite (though certainly not absolute and varying by administration) preference for working with regimes with a decent human rights record.

I would also quibble with the sole attribution of his fall to Ajax (he was already deeply unpopular when it began, albeit arguably unfairly) and note that his extensive use of emergency powers at the time make the "democratically elected" bit somewhat misleading, even if nominally true.
I saw people who were going occasionally to casino without problems because nothing makes you lose and tilt so much as poker. I witnessed poker destroying families and people more than other games. There are people who don't like other casino games but lose heaps on poker and before they started poker their lives had more quality and meaning. I don't play other casino games but poker had a really bad influence on my life and the lives of people around me.
Also, majority of money from poker comes from the players, not from the viewers and sponsors like in other sports, like football, baseball etc.

Your interpretation might be right, but a downvote will often be interpreted as "I didn't contribute to the conversation". The fact that "graft" is confusing, and that I am trying to shed light on it, is a way for me to try contributing, and therefore, in my view, shouldn't be penalized.
>If what you care about is something other than economic prosperity, you have to use other tools other than economic analysis.

Right, it's a political issue. We are not slaves to an economic system; the economic system exists to serve us.

In which direction does the arrow of causality point?

>I personally find it ridiculous to argue that making most of Americans poorer and sicker to protect the wages of doctors is socially cohesive.

I certainly am not in favor of employing economic protectionism on behalf of high skilled workers exclusively. It should be used on behalf of low skilled workers as well. They are our countrymen; we have a shared destiny, and should put them before others as we would hope they would do for us and our posterity in times of trouble.
Your statement about naivety is interesting given that what you just said about the history of Iran is wrong and a common myth.

Mossadegh was not elected by the people of Iran to be Prime Minister.

Mossadegh was not democratically elected as head of the government. He was put into that position by dictate of the elites that ruled over Iran in fact, including with the backing of the Shah. He was democratically elected to the Majles, which is not the same thing as the people electing him as Prime Minister. The Majles largely consisted of elites that were wealthy property owners. So the de facto ruling feudal lords of Iran - including the Shah - installed Mossadegh as leader of the country, the exact opposite of democracy.

There is NO comparison to anything in a civilized western society

I'm not well versed in French police history, but there are plenty of examples of government brutality in the United States. This isn't whataboutism as, quite frankly, none of the violence justifies any of the other violence and what China is doing is an atrocious violation of basic human rights.

Off the top of my head:

Kent State — killing university students

MOVE bombing - bombing a residential neighborhood in Philly

Iran Contra Affair - CIA allegedly funded drug traffickers allegedly playing a large role in unleashing crack cocaine into American inner cities (wanna talk about violence against youth…)

1968 Democratic National Convention

Dakota Access Pipeline protests - protestors were tear gassed and sprayed with water in freezing temperatures

And of course Trump's concentration camps.

If your argument hinges on the government looking the other way while a private party perpetrates violence I'd start looking at the Homestead Strike, the Ford Massacre, any small town in the south where the KKK + police department venn diagram was basically just a single circle, and of course Blackwater's (of Betsy Devoss fame) Nisour Square Massacre.
