Not a luxury when it's a net negative to your health to drink it.

Lawmakers have slowly banned advertising for more and more obviously addictive and harmful things.

They just can't make headway against the most pervasive and least obviously harmful things.
When I looked into conlangs over ten years ago I concluded that there were three that were particularly worth knowing.

1. Novial, because it is extremely regular with simple rules

2. Ido, because it is a simplified version of Esperanto, which itself has a non-trivial number of speakers.

3. Interlingua, because it is roughly a simplified modern romance language, which themselves have hundreds of millions of native speakers.
TSMC is TSMC, just as AMD is AMD. It’s the most commonly used name of the company.
Games in Windows can get raw mouse input just by writing the code for it, and Linux games usually don't because that would require root permissions, to add the user to the input group, etc.

It is a security issue and an X-Window design issue.
It pains me so much. Every time I visit the in-laws I find myself thinking this. Their living room is centered around a tv, that is on no matter the time even if no one is watching. During get togethers, you'll hear adverts blasting. It just feels offensive knowing that this has become their norm.

To be fair to the in-laws, my parents do the same as well. It's mind numbing.
Efficiency isn't really an argument that is going to get people to change their preferences. Case in point, Electron apps. Even if beef becomes the Electron of the food world, you know a ton of people are still going to consume it.
He reportedly met Wexner via his association with Bear Stearns. He can't be blackmailing Wexner AND be a Mossad agent simultaneously. Why? Because Wexner is among the most prolific donors to Israel/Jewish causes and here again, the risk to Israel of eating its own is simply too great. Its not the simple or logical explanation. Proximity != relationship.
Escondido to Downtown has gotten a lot better in the last couple years. There's a bus that runs from Escondido Transit to Downtown via the HOV lane, making only (I believe) two stops along the way. Google maps says it takes just over an hour, if you want to arrive at 9am. Esco to UTC takes a few minutes longer, but adds a transfer and an 8 minute walk.

Given that's pretty close to the driving commute times anyway, it's not that bad.
That's part of the problem imo, these companies have done nothing to earn trust (and often are significantly worse than companies that actually try to earn trust by being trustworthy), because they can just rely on the ads to build it for them.
"Kind of like how eggs are so cheap because they are a natural byproduct of the chicken meat industry [...]"

That has nothing to do with why eggs are cheap. Completely separate breeds are raised for eggs vs meat. The birds used for meat are killed at only 6-7 weeks typically. They never rarely if ever lay a single egg. Eggs are cheap because layer hens have been bred to produce several times their natural number off eggs combined with other practices like forced molting that increase production. And those hens are killed after a couple of years to be used for cheap meat. You have the subsidizing relationship backwards.
> I bet there's any number of things this person values that simply wouldn't exist without advertising.

There aren't many things that can only exist because of advertising. Most of the things people things think depend on advertising already existed in some form before advertising took over and would continue to exist in some form if ads went away.
Go strongly discourages you from making extremely useful abstractions over types early on in your design. You don't just write things the same way and remove boilerplate with generics you can exploit more symmetries.
Maybe something like brave's model where you charge up a crypto currency and can pay for micro transactions to search.
You realize you could make an equally damning article about Coke, don't you?

The meta question is about how we decide what gets banned.
Just to add a bit, a lot of cattle grazing area is just vast swaths of federal land ranchers release cattle on. Historically the cowboys would sort the cattle by their brands and then to the slaughter houses. The land has no other use and are extremely vast and remote areas.

On the show Alaska the Last Frontier, they use federal land to let their cows graze during the summer.
A lot of farm land seems ripe for planting trees. Does anyone know of any organisations who work with farmers in the USA, Europe, Oceania, Asia, Africa or the Americas to help reforest farmland?
The benefit is that you can remove a lot of duplicate code that does exactly the same, except the type it operates on. The blogpost talks about the Reverse function.

Especially when you need to make changes, (fix bugs, performance improvements, etc), if you have dedicated functions for these, it takes effort to keep them (plus tests) in sync.

If you don't see any issue with this duplication, then I can see that generics don't add a lot.
> there were no games that needed Linux

That will never happen. You game in Linux because you need Linux first and games second.
This isn't true, Canadian's have private insurance for pharmaceuticals that isn't a part of their broader single payer system for standard healthcare. As a matter of fact, the current proposed medicare for all bill, would go far beyond what exists within Canada in terms of coverage.

Dev boards, or modules to solder onto a circuit board? If you are printing your own board, then yes, the ESP32 is way cheaper. If you are just making a one-off, though, I'm not sure where it wins except in power consumption.
> It's kind of ridiculous that the US's response to its own inability to negotiate drug prices is to ... pawn its citizens off on Canadian supply without resolve the root cause.

Canada's ability to "negotiate" prices stems from the fact that the US is the single largest market for drugs, accounting for the bulk of revenues that pharmaceutical companies make worldwide.

If drug companies couldn't sell to the US at the high prices they currently do, they wouldn't be able to manage the relatively low prices that they offer to Canada and other countries.
After five years on a ketogenic diet (low carb, higher fat) I now eat mostly fatty meat and eggs, and little else. I have never felt better or been in better health.

This is anecdote, but a growing number of people are discovering the same thing. Beef is great food. It will not go away.
Teaching the unteachable: my experience teaching adults who never learned math
How did you land at 30% canola oil? There's three fats in Beyond Meat burgers, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, and Cocoa Butter. The total fat content is 18g per serving. Each serving is 113g total. That's 15% total fat content per serving. We don't know the canola, coconut, or cocoa butter ratio, but we can at least assume total canola oil is <15%.

There's also 0mg of cholesterol.

Nutrition Facts: https://www.beyondmeat.com/products/the-beyond-burger/

Edit: I should add I'm not saying this is the best food choice. 1 tablespoon of oil is about 13g. So you're basically eating a little over 1 tablespoon of oil.

If you statically link the ui lib - the binary can become quite large too. Another option is to make a web app and use "add to desktop".
But that's not the settlement. The settlement is a fixed amount divided by claimants.
Those aren’t forgone conclusions. That’s just guesswork on a whiteboard roadmap. At 10nm we are already at a stage where quantum effects start to dominate, and it’s not clear how much further these classical effects can scale. 7nm was “a process too far” for Intel, and it is a bit of a miracle that TSMC managed to pull it off.
I do not have the sources by hand, but I think google and co make only about some $ per user per year.

In other words, most users could easily afford it.

And yes, here is the current problem, the mindset of the people. Not willing to pay for services and rather get it for "free" and accept manipulation and time waste.
On the other hand, where services are adfree avaiable, like netflix, users indeed do pay. So I am positive that it is about to change.
All this will do, unfortunately, is cause drug companies to raise prices in Canada. There's no way that drug companies will allows this loss of revenues from the US.
> And then I always think it would be best to build a city from scratch

Waterfall projects don't work with cities any better than they work with code. While it's harder to be "agile" with cities, the idea of building a large project correctly in a go is misleading.

There are many future-centric planned city projects which either died before they ever took off, or were completed and are total ghost towns.
Worked in plumbing some years ago. A colleague did a big job on the heating system for this guy,who then started evading him when it came to getting paid. My colleague called him and said: I left a massive piece of metal in the pipework,so the first time you'll turn on the heating,the whole system will go tits up and you won't have heating for weeks. The guy was chasing my colleague for a week trying to give him the money.
This exact situation happened with my 4 year old. He only gets "TV" time from streaming services. When we tried to let him watch cartoons at an Airbnb he told us the "channel was changing" whenver ads came on.
I see you program in Blub (http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html).
I have been vigorously pro-generics since the beginning, and this is the reason why: I want generic data structures. Arrays&slices and maps are great, and they really are the 90/10 solution a lot of the time, which is precisely why putting direct support into your syntax for the two of them is so very, very popular, but that other 10 comes up.

Plus, there are some generic data structures that will really work well in Go, like, for instance, an immutable tree. Granted, it'll still take some care to use properly in Go as it does not have "const" or anything like it, but it can still be done. The problem I have is not with accidental mutation, but that I just don't want to sit there and implement the immutable tree code. (Trees are great, but they're really tedious to write in the best of times, and nightmares to debug in the worst.)

I'm not terribly interested in trying to jam functional programming into Go; I may make light use of map/filter/reduce but even if this was fully implemented it would still be a fairly unpleasant experience (function that return "a value and an error" aren't much fun to map and can't hardly "chain" at all). But I've missed being able to just grab a particular data structure a few times.
Not OP, but JS crypto mining comes to mind.
Was it though? I can't recall ever searching for something and not finding what I was looking for.
The plant based burgers simply aren't burgers or even close and without massive genetic engineering I doubt they ever will be.

My guess is that lab grown meats (or some complete protein yeast type product much closer to meat than the clumsy impostors we see now) does replace animal grown meat shortly enough. So I agree with author, only it won't be Beyond Burger type things.

It's really about efficiency more than anything else.

The efficient way isn't chasing cows around and fencing them in and feeding them grain and cutting them up and eating half of them. That really makes only a little more sense than chasing deer through forests with pointed sticks. It scales poorly and is expensive.

But I do agree, these plant substitutes aren't it. The protein is poorer quality and the flavor is much poorer quality.

Getting people to care about abstract environment or animal rights is a losing battle. But offering the same flavor, same nutrition at a lower cost doesn't need selling.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting but didn't the movie show that everything Tyler does and says is 100% wrong?
I feel this is a new trend among people.

* I don't like something.
* Why do people do it? It is not even effective.
* It should be outlawed.

If you and a bunch of other people like you think advertising is a waste of money, what is preventing you from starting your own company that does not use advertising? I promise you the government will not come and force you to buy commercial time or Facebook ads.
Some advertising, like Superbowl ads, does establish brand trust - because you know a fly-by-night company couldn't afford a Superbowl ad. But targeted advertising, which is the whole point of adtech, cannot do that - because you never know if it was shown to a million people or just you.
Right, but there's a difference between the occasional text or non-animated static image ad and the sorts of browser-fingerprinting spyware prevalent today.

There's also a time and place for ads, and the article's examples (like actual medical documents) are neither.
The "easier to skip" is why it likely won't happen. Easier to skip ads mean you get less money for the same ads.
This stance is infuriating. Stop letting the best the be enemy of the good.

There are lots of ways that the imagined self-driving future can either be a terrible non-improvement or simply take an order of magnitude more time to come to fruition.

We have clear and obvious ways to improve things now and we should be building support for that and taking those steps. Not sitting on our hands waiting for a purely technical solution to what's not even remotely just a technical problem.
I'm assuming you're in the UK? The hospitals I've used in London had plenty of art in corridors, but not in the wards. They also had a library of sorts: a bookshelf on wheels that the volunteers could bring round on request. They also had free WiFi that clashed somewhat with the signs warning not to use mobile phones. The built in pay TV and phone was ghastly though - I assume its to price gouge old patients as everyone else I saw was using their own device.
This is why the problem cannot be solved without regulation of the market.

Each individual actor is working in their best interest, but as a society it creates unimaginable amounts of waste.
> I was a UAV (civilian term: "drone") pilot

Absolutely, and I think that's what would give a good opportunity for monetization in this space. Someone whose willing to deal with the lack of APIs, differing versions, incorrect SSL configs, etc. and put it into a user-friendly app will be able to get value directly from the end users--students and profs--and disrupt the lack of innovation from Ellucian et al.
Nah I'm good, if I'm looking for "MAGA-themed pressure cooker" just show me a good one, I can refine my query myself and avoid giving you my SSN and bank details.
How on Earth did you come to the conclusion that computers wouldn't exist without advertising?
If/where suitable mines exist, railways may still exist and might be feasible from a carbon standpoint with the newer diesel locomotives or using an electric locomotive.

That said, you aren't going to make a considerably dent in the CO2 emitted in a given time period doing this. Used in combination with dozens of other things though...
> Last time I cooked a Beyond Meat burger I noticed it was 30% canola oil. 30% CANOLA OIL

Burgers are typically made from 80/20 ground beef. That's 80% meat, 20% fat.
This is one of those classic, massively overconfident HN comments. Nothing has proven worse for American cities than massive free public infrastructure devoted to private automobile transportation, and our only hope to make our cities more livable, affordable, and environmentally safer is to massively switch to public transit.

The tax on space, time, and energy required to move a bunch of people around in individual little containers is far too high.
Just tax sugar.
What is wrong with death?

Its not death that is the issue. It is pain and suffering.
> it would make them much easier to skip

Which is why the networks will never group them, given that their revenue is arising from those advertisements. Making them "easier to skip" also reduces the prices the network can extract from the advertisers (because the advertisers would see "easier to skip" as "less effective").
Safely Sharing Data – Reference Capabilities in the Pony Programming Language
Answered above, but here's another reason: The stupidity of entrapping Dershowitz, Barak, Wexner, Maxwell - 3 of whom are/were major players in pro-Israel organizations is indescribable. Stupid is not an adjective ever used to describe Mossad.
No. Refined sugar is incredibly toxic. It doesn't just rot your teeth, make you obese, and eventually turns you into a Type 2 diabetic, but it also raises the risk of heart disease, strokes, Alzheimer's, and many other conditions.

The direct economic costs - health care costs, lost productivity caused by illness - are immense, and the soda and junk food industries make no contribution towards them.

There are also less direct personal and emotional costs, in the form of family/partner illness and sometimes death.

Some luxuries are similarly toxic, but as a "cheap" luxury sugar abuse affects a much larger demographic.

IMO the ad efforts that support these products are unconscionable, and there's no question the money would be better spent elsewhere.
Yes, exactly. That's the advantage. You need to display pounds different from yen and dollars and bitcoins. It's good to have the code say, "Whoops, I was only expecting dollars and cents, and I'm not prepared for this thing you handed me" rather than accidentally displaying the wrong thing.

At the very least I'd want the currency marked. And once you're representing currency as a structure/object rather than a bare integer, you've got a lot more opportunities to ensure safety.
You don't think water shortages will change people's preferences?
Source 2 has a linux port I believe, and it's an engine that other games could (do?) use to get easy linux support for a lot of their codebase. I think that counts for actually useful.

Depending on what they mean by "massively-threaded", that might cover some other popular network applications that thread to handle requests, but I'm not sure how much work they would put into a linux specific solution if it complicated their codebase.
There are small family restaurants that I never would have discovered or thought of going to if I hadn't received a postcard ad in the mail.
And regress to a world where access to the best tools and information is denied to those who can't afford it? No thanks. I consider the alignment of profits with breadth of access to be one of the biggest engines of progress in the modern age.
It's incredibly lazy, but unsurprising. I find the people who talk about advertisements so dramatically on HN intersect really nicely with the kind of people whose day is ruined because the free bagels their company provided that day didn't include their favorite cream cheese flavor.
You need to judge a social impact of something before you ban it. The reason why soft drinks are under fire is because there is a lot of people who drink them literally every day. I know several people who drink 8-12 cans of diet coke every single day. On the other hand people usually don't eat cake or ice-cream everyday. I mean, I have no doubt that you could find someone who does, but it's not a widespread behaviour, so there is no reason to ban it.
I note the author is very much involved in companies projects and social media platforms that all depend on advertising.

I'd respect his position more if he was not on LinkedIn or Facebook and did not work on commercial projects.
I certainly do not have to deal with what you are dealing with. I don't carry my phone with me everywhere I go, particularly when I off of work.
I'd really love to have an AR real-life ad blocker. Replace all billboards with works of art.

Separately I think advertising will have to find new forms of expression that are less repulsive. I won't want to block ads if they are actually fun and interesting.

For those interested, cf "Seeing Like a State" and other books by James Scott. Really good reads.
Almost all new inventions and start-ups in the last 50 needed effective marketing for people to find out about them and use them.

The point about the long thin trunks with almost no root system is interesting. Were they growing between the logs of previously fallen trees and being supported by them? Maybe they look so spindly today because they didn't have to provide most of their lateral stability?

And of course they only grow in hot climates because pulling all of that carbon out of the atmosphere would have caused the planet to cool down and nothing would survive the continually freezing conditions closer to the poles.
Fascinating! I would have preferred January at the 6 o'clock, with the peak temperature & community interest (Northern Hemisphere at least) at 12 o'clock, and rotating clockwise.
“Bloat” is mainly a purity issue actually, it has no clear definition and is instead a matter of subjectivity about a software being «too much» for its purpose. Remember that emacs was said to be bloated, while nowadays it's way lighter than even the most lightweight native app you use.

And electron doesn't have that much performance issues in most apps (atom is a big counterexample of course, but the VSCode team showed that the issue doesn't come from electron itself but from architecture issues).

Granted, electron apps consume a big chunk of RAM, probably much more than if you did otherwise, but modern OSes are pretty good at dealing with background apps' memory and it's usually not a problem in practice for the end user.

I kind of agree with the feeling that there should be a better way, but short of alternative I'd take the portable app any day over the native app on a single platform (whichever platform).
I've always liked this one:

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."
