let's not take any life at all, with reverence or otherwise. we're not savages. don't have to pretend like it's the only way to survive, obviously it's not. it might have been in pre-civilized times, but surely we're past that. anecdotally, i feel healthier not eating meat and my 5 times/week lifting and rowing workouts have not suffered.
Every company, and everyone, has the opportunity to operate politically; there's hardly anything illegal about it.

But that doesn't mean we expect them to.

Cloud infra companies and CDNs trying to filter their service offering based on its content, without government intervention, based on no "algorithm" or strategy, but instead, without any hiding of it, whatever whim realized by the CEO and his twitter feed; this is new behavior to me (that it could be done is obvious, that it would be done is not).

I mean, its not new new, this is cloudflare's second time at it; the new part is that its not just cloudflare doing it, and we went another layer deeper.
Hm relatively similar? A chicken has the awareness of a bug. Conditions for a higher mammal vs a chicken might reasonably be very different for the same level of stress.
I work for a language learning company, where I am building VR apps for immersive (in both the VR and language learning sense of the word) language learning.
There are those that are vegetarian and there are those that try it for a while.

The article could be search/replaced and rewritten to describe an extreme minority of interestingly tattooed people that 'quit smoking for a few years' to go back to smoking, albeit only pipe tobacco, and to work in ethical tobacconists. In this alternate story they go on to sell only pure tobacco without the hundreds of additives, the goal being to help other smokers live healthier lives.

A lot of people who try vegetarianism get a bee in their bonnet about it and go preachy on the rest of the world. The rest of the world just shuns them even if they are right, getting told what to eat is not what anyone wants to hear.

Others are brought up vegetarian or have a partner who does all the cooking and happens to be vegetarian. In the article I didn't get the idea that any of the people featured were this more down to earth and less preachy crowd.
i agree the article isn't super informative, but is it correct to say that something in cryptobiosis isn't alive? There is almost certainly some tiny amount of remnant metabolism and sensor proteins.
I don't know about Windows, but it's available on pretty much any Linux distribution. I don't know if that's an option for you, but if you're worried about Google, you should probably be worried about Microsoft too.
I think that's the only way forward, some kind of obnoxious display to discourage people from even trying.

Wonder if there are ways to disrupt digital lenses while being innocuous to human eye.
Demo Data as Code: Automation Helps Collaboration
This is not exactly correct. The "grain" that is fed to animals in feed lots (or most other places) is typically not straight corn or whatever. It's an engineered pellet ration or a milled grain ration. In both cases it has additives in it - added nutritional components, and often also low-level antibiotics, just depending on what the folks running the feed lot prefer.

I have a sheep farm. We have to be very careful not to confuse the sheep grain ration with the chicken feed. They look exactly the same, but chicken pellet has copper in it, and sheep can't metabolize copper. We also have to be careful not to accidentally buy or feed goat ration for the same reason.

That said, "grass fed" is complicated too. In a lot of places the cattle are grazing on unimproved rangeland. It isn't even fertilized. But in some places the farmers will explicitly plant forage crops such as wheatgrass; these will typically be fertilized, and possibly treated with herbicide or pesticide. Fertilizer is usually an industrial nitrogen fertilizer, but it can also be composted manure. I know of at least some farms near where I grew up that were at points treated with concentrated sludge from sewage treatment plants, in which case you would definitely expect to get heavy metal accumulation, even in straight grass fed animals. Happily my family never went that route.
As I saw in a tweet earlier, "there are no experts in self driving, just people who have failed for different lengths of time".

If I remember that giant post of benchmarks correctly, there are some big exceptions, particularly around non-ASCII searches.
Not doing harm became an empty phrase? Chemotherapy etc do a bit of harm but for a greater good.
Depends on the translation you're reading. The original texts are in Hebrew and Greek so everything we read is a translation. You probably read the English KJV version, which was translated in 1611 and is thus the English of that time.

More modern translations such as NIV or ESV will read more like modern everyday speech.
Scandinavian countries in particular tend to do better in encouraging rehab and reintegration. Part of it is definitely related to cost, those countries tend to have stronger funding for their prison/reform systems.

Draconic punishment is not ideal especially because criminals return to society with less prospects and are likely to turn to crime once again. That is if they return at all.
You're 100% wrong. Many people, especially big trucks, have swerved off the road to avoid killing people and animals. If you'd ever taken a defensive driving course, you'd know that it's always quicker to steer avoid collision than it is to brake. This takes a supreme amount of context and situational awareness.
The problem is that splitting the app in this way is so very lucrative.

Disallowing players from enjoying a game without paying doesn't work for everyone, but the network effects of multiplayer games virtually assures an increase in sales once your game passes a threshold of popularity.

The tradeoff, however, is that this won't work for small and niche games. For players to convert to purchasers the value must appear sufficient, and a multiplayer game with no players has little value.

> Humans are wired to neclect small changes when they come at a personal cost to them, so they think "it won't change if I stop doing it, so I won't stop doing it". This thinking is arrogant and the cause why many changes in society don't happen, although many people recognize that there is a problem.

To me it sounds like you just described a coordination problem. Can you clarify why you don't think it is?
What you're saying is true but only in a society where you simply allow all drugs. Ideologically I am of this inclining since I don't think the government has a right to determine what people should or should not be able to put in their own body, but at the same time I also think this is a path that is detrimental for society. A few factors you don't hit on:

- many drugs are addictive and this can lead to addicts turning to crime to try to fuel their addiction. yes we could offer more public support for such things, but these tend to be lifestyle choices that people revert to over and over.

- some drugs themselves can have a strong connection with abnormally violent and dangerous behavior - for instance, PCP.

- other drugs can have potentially extreme side effects even with minimal usage. olney's lesions / brain lesions are but one example. of course the same is true of e.g. alcohol, but the quantities involved are quite different.

- any drug that is illegal will result in a black market. this black market tends to trend towards violence. there is potentially big money to be made in drugs and criminal enterprises tend to attract criminals who don't just constrain their violation to their product.
It's called a "quiet time". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_Time
While that's a great anecdote it's not a source. We could counter your argument by saying that the power to weight ratio of large vehicle is less than that of sports cars. Also because of softer suspensions not tuned for aggressive handling makes for vehicles that get into more crashes due to characteristics that make them worse with regard to stopping before a crash, unable to accelerate out of a compromising situation, or at at odds with a much higher likelihood of rollover due to aggressive maneuvering.

As an aside I have lots of friends who own fast cars who haven't gotten into accidents by avoiding them. Thankfully they were driving lighter vehicles.

I won't berate survivorship bias here.
If people are free to buy and sell, "everyone owns some" is a description of some states of the system, not the system itself.
It’s not implying that many or most people are idiots or untrustworthy. But that there are extreme outliers at the fringes.

Before the internet, they’d mostly be unable to find each other. With the internet, they can build self-reinforcing “communities” on the basis of hate, intolerance, or really anything. If they just stayed in that bubble it’d be fine, but unfortunately sometimes they bring machine guns to department stores.
A friend of mine explained his viewpoint as... Sure, there's only a few bad apples doing horrible things. But then there's a LOT of cops, and their union, that help/stand up for those bad apples. If you're not taking a bribe, but you are actively looking away when your partner is; you're the bad guy. There's the well known blue wall of silence, and everyone that makes up that wall is part of the problem.
Am I missing something? I just skimmed it, but:

"The nice thing here is that the specification of the rename system call requires it to be automic. So this step either is done in full (in which case we’ll see the new data) or isn’t done at all (in which case we’ll see the old data, but we won’t have data corruption)."

From the "Files are hard" article:

"Rename isn't atomic on crash. POSIX says that rename is atomic, but this only applies to normal operation, not to crashes."
For this reason, I almost always ask my wife or kids, if they are with me, to get into the frame if I am photographing nature or a building or something. Maybe not every time, but most of the time. I figure that some day I will enjoy looking at them more than whatever other thing it was that I was taking a picture of at the time.

Ok, some are great, but when you see that the ‘bad guys’ in the police face no consequences for their actions, the police force looses respect in the eyes of the public. And that’s a normal reaction. But they can earn it back, though it seems, through their training and instructions, they quite often prefer intimidation over respect.
Why the stock market must go down
To answer if we are making much progress, here’s a quote: “Specifically, we considered 18 algorithms that were presented at top-level research conferences in the last years. Only 7 of them could be reproduced with reasonable effort. For these methods, it however turned out that 6 of them can often be outperformed with comparably simple heuristic methods, e.g., based on nearest-neighbor or graph-based techniques. The remaining one clearly outperformed the baselines but did not consistently outperform a well-tuned non-neural linear ranking method.“
In that case, why bother making anything at all illegal? Criminals are just going to be criminals anyway.
So with this I think we need to set the bar higher. How does this sound: running Mac on Linux on Windows on a Mac?
Keep in mind the brain's disposition to learn changes depending on age. And as an adult your brain will struggle for many different reasons: stressful day, lots of other information streams, far less time for learning, decreased flexibility, etc.

As a kid I learned 3 languages (including the native one) with relative ease. As an adult I really struggled to learn the fourth using what I think are the same techniques. Given the factors above the reality may be that it's almost impossible to learn in the same conditions.
Social media companies love to tell us about how they're bringing the world together or how they let us share our moments and memories with loved ones, etc. But there is something to be said about the comparison between how the generation before us shared these moments vs how we do.

'Back in the day', you would go on holiday, take a camera and a few rolls of film, snap some photos, and then return home. Perhaps a few days later you might find some time to go and get the film developed. You'd return and get your photos, ready to be shared with friends and family. You'd then set a date, you'd call your loved ones and invite them over for dinner or drinks so you could share your experiences and discuss your photos together. It was a face-to-face, real, personal experience.

Contrast that with the rapid-fire creation and consumption of photos on social media today and you can see how these 'moments' have become more trivial and feel less valuable.

I'm not saying one is inherently better than the other. There are pros and cons to both, but something tells me that if we're talking about "connection" between people, about authentic sharing between friends/family, the older way was better.

More often than not, 'liking' photos on social media ends up being a 'quid pro quo' so that you can get a 'like' in return down the line. There have been studies that show us that social media consumption has a negative effect (especially on younger audiences) on the mental wellbeing of users. Friend counts, likes and shares end up becoming a form of gamification where people chase numbers rather than real meaningful connections.

That is how we ended up in this scenario, where users flock to destinations to simply grab a photo, without ever really taking in their surroundings, just so they can keep up with the Joneses online.

Don't get me wrong, I don't completely blame the tech, the biggest part of the problem is the human condition and the ways we behave - and that aspect hasn't really changed much since we used cameras with rolls of film in them to today - we're still the same, attention-seeking people we were before, but the tech today just amplifies these traits.
I agree this seems to be the way forward. I'm brushing up on my rusty and useless high-school German as a result of my company's work with a German client lately – it makes everything a bit easier for extended trips. The advice I got from them was basically the same – if your goal is to be able to engage in basic conversational interactions, it's far more important to build up a useful vocabulary that it is to get the correct tenses or genders.
UPS is enthusiastic about working with Amazon, but Fedex is not. Simple as that. Fedex is a gap-filling option within Amazon.
But surely this is the price we pay for the connecting abilities of the Internet? I'm not sure we can start censoring and still retain all the benefits.

Regardless of how much I hate 8chan, I'm still pretty worried about the precendent these kinds of actions set.

Exactly. Car-job-house, lose one and the other two quickly fall. You're one bill away from homelessness. As a Markov chain, ultimately everyone in poverty crashes at some point or another.
Yes, but it's a minor problem. You usually know who's it referring to.
Eliminating factory farmed meat from my diet is an aspirational thing for me; right now I don't have the available time or mental energy to commit to planning my diet to actually achieve that. Taking up deer hunting certainly helped me get closer to that goal, but mainly I just try to have no more than one serving of meat on any given day and go completely meatless several days a week.
I'd argue that each Senator's sole job is to debate and vote on legislation as a representative of their state—not their SuperPAC-backed party bloc.

Wasting their time is paying them to not do their job because a single person's will is preventing it from being possible.

The debate and voting is the entire point of the system. For both parties.
Well, that's what happens when people can't or won't keep their own animals but still want to eat meat. Lab grown should change that in the future.

That’s interesting and thanks for pointing that out.

Personally I think the converse would be more effective hide the score from the uploader. People upload to gauge their popularity (via image proxy).

Basically I don’t think the issue is, hmmm, what pic got the most likes, do I can get likes too. It’s let me see how many likes I can get on my pic. Obviously people will copycat to go for reproducibility of likes, but are mostly interested in the likes.
At least in general usage, outside of any domain-specific conventions, "continuous" doesn't have to have the temporal sense. The first entry in the OED for "continuous":

> a. Characterized by continuity; extending in space without interruption of substance; having no interstices or breaks; having its parts in immediate connection; connected, unbroken.

> 1673 N. Grew Idea Phytol. Hist. ii. iii. 65 It is compounded of two Bodies. The one parenchymous; continuous throughout; yet somewhat pliable without a solution of its continuity.

> 1704 I. Newton Opticks ii. ii. 41 The dark intervals must be diminished, until the neighbouring Rings become continuous, and are blended.

> 1796 R. Southey Joan of Arc vii. 6 Round the city stretch'd Their line continuous, massy as the wall Erst by the fearful Roman..raised.

> 1859 C. Darwin Origin of Species xi. 352 In most cases the area inhabited by a species is continuous.

> 1879 J. N. Lockyer Elem. Lessons Astron. vi. 228 If we light a match and observe its spectrum, we find that it is continuous—that is, from red through the whole gamut of colour to the visible limit of the violet.

> 1881 J. C. Maxwell Treat. Electr. & Magnetism (ed. 2) I. 6 Without describing a continuous line in space.
agreed re: processed stuff. i've about had it with "vegetarians" who eat frozen pizza 3x a day whining about being unhealthy. also agreed that the framing about "rediscovering meat" is misleading as hell.

> “It can be hard to balance your diet as a vegetarian, especially when you’re younger, and I wasn’t doing it right,” he said.

i really don't understand this - there's no justification given, nor is there a reason why it's harder when younger.
Oh no! Try turning off your ad blockers? If that doesn't work, shoot me an email at noah@meetglimpse.com and I'll make sure you get set up!
Why isn’t FedEx enthusiastic?
Unless you're driving on a road, and heavy snow develops earlier or more severe than you and the weather service anticipated. Instead of going the next 2-3 miles safely to your exit, your car will decide it's best for you to strand you in the middle of the motorway in white out conditions until the weather passes? Color me skeptical.
This is true of all translation I think. Apart from the simplest of sentences, there is usually more than one way to phrase something. Different styles of translation account for this differently, e.g. some seek to make literal word for word translations while others try to preserve higher level semantics. So those styles may produce different sentences and they can both be right.
There's no safety distance available when cars can pull into the road on which you're driving. That's one reason it is valuable to ID objects--there's a big difference between a building sitting by the side of the road, and a running car sitting in a driveway with a driver behind the wheel, on the side of the road.

Safe driving can mean taking proactive action in the latter case, like changing lanes away from the driveway (if you can) or slowing down, just in case that other driver screws up and tries to pull out in front you at the last second.

So, yeah, you would need pretty advanced AI for that. Throw it on the pile of reasons I think it will be a long time before we see self-driving cars that are good enough (and safe enough) to replace humans.
The idea that customers shun AWS due to Amazon is very real. Many retailers won’t use it, and some are asking their SAaS providers to host elsewhere. Part of the motivation is mistrust, part is just not funding a competitor.
This is what I meant, I should have been more clear.

Nobody thinks that to my knowledge, or at least thats not the general opinion about cops.
I saw that system a couple of years ago and loved it. It has hundreds of flashing, spinning dekatron tubes, er, valves, and the control logic is relay based, so it makes lots of clicking noises. It's the apotheosis of the 50s sci-fi movie image of a computer. It is the oldest original working digital computer in the world. (Other systems, like the Colossus, are rebuilds.)

I don't think the internet is fundamentally different here. You could have made the same argument when the printing press came out.
Should Kids Learn to Code?
I don't know about Protestant denominations but my mother grew up extremely Catholic (in the US) where every single part of life revolved around church. The family was about as devout as you could possibly get, including not practicing birth control. However, individual Bible reading wasn't practiced. In fact, individual Bible reading was actually discouraged by the nuns.
This also helped me learn Chinese, along with translated worship music.

Throw in some global carbon tax and I think that's a fine distance for rail.
