> I have mixed feelings about Beyond Meat: my wife and I love the hot Italian sausage and burgers, but it is really not that healthy.

Regular veggie burgers and other products (not trying to imitate meat) are usually really good. They should embrace the fact that they can include a vast array of vegetables and spices. Example: Morningstar farms has a chickpea burger I really like. Also it's much cheaper than Beyond products. I share your concern about the Beyond products (and other vegetarian products); if I want a ton of saturated fat, I'd just eat meat. Chicken and fish are healthier than Beyond.

A society that eats less meat (or none) is inevitable given time, for both moral and practical reasons of health, scarcity and environmental impact. We should teach people to cook healthy vegan food that they enjoy. Just providing food options people enjoy without meat will reduce meat consumption without pushing a moral agenda that often receives hysterical responses.

Disclaimer: I eat meat, though I've been eating less for the above reasons.
I did a semester in Ireland back in the 90's and it was an occasional purchase by myself and other college students. Basically along the lines of how we'd get 40oz malt liquor in the states (or later on, those alcopops with caffeine like Sparks).

They don't taste good but they're cheap and strong so they were popular with college kids looking to hang out and get buzzed with friends. Even then we sort of did it with a wink and a grin, knowing that we were drinking some pretty "trashy" stuff.

"Buckfast gets you fucked fast!" was the common joke.
Survey-grade GPS (using CORS and WAAS correction) using RTK will give you accuracy to ~10 cm within a few seconds. You can get that down to several millimetres if you can tolerate post-processing several hours worth of static data.
I have read them. These was the theoretical work of a handful of geoscientists working from the computational limitations of 70s-80s technology, and substantially limited data compared to what has been made available in the decades since.

The historic certainty of climate change is being vastly overstated, neglecting the critical role that petroleum has played in the development of modern infrastructure and society in a blind rush to find some evil to blame. Science is built on skepticism.
The CTF Time listing for it indicates that it is "Jeopardy" format, which I assume means categories with increasing value/difficulty. It also lists the competition as being open for 24 hours.

It seems that nobody is wondering about implications of stopping eating meat for our hormonal health...

Cholesterol has also a mission in our bodies. Protecting us from cold, and being a necessary precursor of male hormones.
Identify green with healthy and meat as unhealty is a myth.

Try to eat 1 Kg of persil a day and stay alive. Many green things are pretty good making poisons that can do horrible things to our body. Mammals and birds instead are pretty safe in this aspect.

The real problem is not eating meat, is being served an oiled whole cow each day in your restaurant. A partial solution could be as simple as standardize (and reduce) the humongous USA rations.
Ideally yes.
This is not realistic. Your conception of an average user is actually a power user. If I tried to imagine my mom doing this (who is highly intelligent but non-technical and not a power user), I would see her getting tripped up on:

Whonix / VM:

* Figuring out which version of virtual box is appropriate for her setup. The download page is not at all noob-friendly and there is no big "click this button to download for this OS" button. What does windows host mean? Does that mean windows? What's an SDK? Do I need the extension pack?

* Figuring out which version of Whonix is appropriate for the same reason. Download securely without verification? Is that ok? What's a signing key? Open pgp? What if she downloads the wrong one? Will it fuck something up?

* Feeling comfortable employing a VM. She has never used a VM and would have no idea what was going on when a different OS appeared within her OS. This could be very unnerving because it seems incorrect. The idea of importing an image would be so foreign that she might not be able to figure out how to do it using the virtualbox interface.

* Trivial tasks on whonix. She wouldn't know how to do trivial things on Whonix because it is has a totally different UI than Mac or Windows. Most non-technical people memorize what they have to do to accomplish tasks without actually understanding what they are doing so they can't port that knowledge to another platform.

* Troubleshootong. She would not be able to use Google for help because she can't form the queries correctly to ask what she wants.

VPN:

* Determining which VPN(s) to use and signing up. There are about 100 options and she has no way to evaluate the quality.

* Determining whether the VPN was set up correctly. Leak tests? Checking external IP? What's an IP?

* Understanding why certain things don't work anymore. Why can't she print documents anymore? Why are certain sites going to the Canadian page instead of the regular .com page? Why isn't Netflix working anymore? Why is she constantly dealing with captcha?

* Understanding why everything is so slow

She would quickly realize she is in over her head, get frustrated, and then feel embarrassed because she would have to call me for help with what you described as a "trivial task". She would probably just not do it to save herself from the embarrassment / "wasting my time".

I agree that Fastmail's location is problematic, but other than that, I would argue it is a better Gmail already, features-wise.
You are nit-picking here.

I have spent a lot of time in the scummier parts of London and yet to step over some kid sniffing glue. In Glasgow it is an all too common sight. You can check the health statistics and I am sure there are a few parts of North England and Northern Ireland that are similarly blighted but glue is not a problem south of the Watford Gap in the way that it is in Glasgow.

Sure Bucky is now stocked by Booker and therefore available in corner shops in England, however this is a recent development. Five years ago it was near impossible to buy the stuff in England. As for today, good luck buying bucky in a normal supermarket - Tesco, Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl etc. or even in a pub. It isn't marketed in England in the same way it is marketed in Scotland.

I've made it a point in my life to only look at my phone when I'm legitimately bored, which is pretty much always reading HN since I have nearly all notifications turned off. In other words, if I'm at a restaurant with someone and they go to the bathroom, leaving me alone at the table briefly, I'll just sit there and look around at the world for a few minutes. If anyone sees me doing that and thinks it's weird or creepy, then the very nature of existing is weird or creepy.

It feels pretty good. I'm more at peace with the world when I sit there and take it all in.
Just have a look at the 10-Ks. Nvidia's: "Gross margin for fiscal year 2019was 61.2%, compared with 59.9% a year earlier, which reflects our continued shift toward higher-value platforms". Datacentre is their biggest growth area today, and they have traditionally created specific high-margin products to extract value in areas with very limited competition.

The same thing is true for Intel when they don't have competition. They are the company they are today due to insane gross margin on Xeon and the explosive growth of cloud computing. DCG has been Intel's top performing BU for ages until recently. Expect the same story from AMD as it eats Intel's lunch in that market. High margin semiconductors are money making machines.
YateBTS is a technology solutions provider that develops RAN and LTE Core Network equipment to meet the diverse needs of its customers. In line with the company's goal of providing the best possible services to its customers, YateBTS introduced the innovative EPC technology and recently published an article to explain the technology and its wide range of features and benefits.
Evolved Packet Core (EPC) has become increasingly popular since its emergence with early adopters witnessing remarkable improvement in their quality level of service delivery. The functionality, durability, and ease of use of EPC have helped it to gain worldwide acceptance. Unfortunately, millions of businesses, including tech websites, are yet to harness the benefits of Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and this is where is YateBTS is looking to change the narrative, especially with the recently published article.
Titled "Evolved Packet Core (EPC)," the article aims to throw more light into what EPC is all about, along with its components, and the solution equipment provided by YateBTS as a company. The article talks about EPC's representation of the LTE core network and the functions performed by the technology. Some of such functions include authenticating subscribers, aiding mobility management, and determining the subscribers' access to the network.
The article also details the network architecture and the nodes that form the foundation for the architecture. PGW (PDN Gateway), HSS (Home Subscriber Server), PCEF (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function), and SGW (Serving Gateway) are some of the nodes mentioned. Other topics covered in the article include Core Network Background - the evolution of Circuit-switching to Packet-Switching and the relevance of Quality of Service (QoS) to operators and users.
The article also details the Evolved Packet Core products offered by the company, including YateHSS/HLR as a solution for HSS/HLR and YateUCN (Unified Core Network).
Someone like a recruiter might want to avoid divisive topics unless they're specifically trying to attract someone from one of those markets.
You went and did a whole thing there, eh?
Of course you can, as long as your comfortable with those things affecting your ability to find or keep a job. Proving that you were fired because you support political ideal of your choosing and not "poor performance" is going to be very difficult if the person firing you knows what they're doing.
Paper is a system that would have worked 30 years ago, unchanged to today. I think there's a reasonable chance that the same system would be working, unchanged, 30 years from now.

How many computer-based systems from 30 years ago are working unchanged to today?

Also, it's a system that any member of my family at any time in the past half-century from ages 12 to 98 could have understood. I think there's a reasonable chance that the same technology (paper & boxes) will be understandable for the next half-century, as well.

If you want to be updating a computer-based system for something as important as this every 5 years, that's fine. Everyone needs a hobby. But I have no guarantee that my family will be interested in or comfortable with it when it is needed.
Very awesome-looking project! I think this is the kind of thing that Haskell needs more of: networked application code that is tangible and can give more curious folks (like me) an idea of how this language might be useful for our own projects.

Edit: only thing missing is PureScript on the frontend ;)
I believe any team needs a combination of both types i.e. people with breadth and others with depth.

Some people are just good at seeing the top view and how all of it will fit in most optimal way possible.

I am saying this because I can see abstract patterns from the top and what's wrong with entire project. But entire IT industry is looking for people with depth. So sometimes I wonder if there is need for people like me in IT but then again when I see a vast system I can immediately discern what could go wrong, possible bottlenecks or come up with better solution. This gives me little bit of hope.
> We do use facial recognition to detect the faces in the photo, and then integrate with the school's student management system to work out what permissions or media consent has been granted for each student.

But if the parents don't sign the waiver allowing their kids photo to be used, how do you process the photo to determine if any kid in it has not had the waiver signed? Isn't the act of processing the image a violation of the agreement (which is effective since the waiver was not signed)?

Is accuracy at that level actually possible with GPS? Precision seems likely, but it is substantially more difficult to provide absolute accuracy at that level.

Can't really argue with that, which is why people don't and just downvote.
Nutritionists vary on the following aspects, as the research isn't definitive, so I'm not going to give an opinion, just list the facts: the new meat alternatives have less protein, more sodium, more carbs, and more saturated fat. Take that as you will.
> Popping those long coordinates into Google Earth, it looks like the georeferencing puts the point somewhere on ILI's back wall

Perhaps the Google Earth image is "wrong". Stitching aerial and satellite images together and aligning every pixel to the exact geo-location isn't as simple as it sounds -- especially given that the ground shifts over time.
From https://skepticalscience.com/animal-agriculture-meat-global-...

"Animal agriculture is responsible for 13–18% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions globally, and less in developed countries (e.g. 3% in the USA). Fossil fuel combustion for energy and transportation is responsible for approximately 64% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions globally, and more in developed countries (e.g. 80% in the USA)."

I think in the USA, it would be more productive to address the 80% as higher priority than reducing the 3%. I think this veganism initiative is also more driven by morality and political partisanship than by an effort to find a realistic and practical solution to GHG emissions. And this can backfire: I believe that a reason why nearly half the country will not even openly admit there is a problem, is because they fear the consequences of political over-reaction more than the problem itself.

Statistics + Computer Science = Machine Learning?

I think to me that's the case. But also, Machine Learning describes a computer science goal, to have a computer that learns certain or ideally all parts of its algorithm on its own, either from example or by experimentation.

It just so happens that some of the ideas from statistics lend themselves to help computer science implement such machines that can learn. One can imagine techniques for Machine Learning being discovered in the future which leverage ideas from other fields apart from statistics.

It requires a perfect storm of just shy of 100% used memory and a lot of mmaped io. In that case the mmaped can get shunted to a handful of pages (or even one page) and so you lose all ability to have any block io larger then one page size. And every page of memory involves a fully blocking io request. It’s most certainly real for certain workloads (databases are common).
Do the math for a potato-only diet. 1 baked potato is 171 calories. 2000/171 is 11.7 potatoes. 11.7*4.3 = 50.3. That's sufficient for a 62.5 kg individual by your 0.8 g/kg standard.

Potatoes are also lower protein than a variety of grains and vegetables (which are low in macronutrients in general).

Yep, also I think the barriers to entry for the insurance market are extremely high. Not only is there a huge fixed cost of actually negotiating rates with every individual doctor/hospital, there's also the fixed cost of getting individual employers to consider you for their business. These and some other factors leave the insurance market with just a few insurance providers, who can let prices run away and simply charge higher premiums/deductibles without fear of competition from a "start-up" insurance provider.

I don't know if the folk who are against vaccination are the sole cause of eroding trust in healthcare, but given that healthcare trust is eroding and anti-vaccination believers are rising, it's not much of a stretch to think the two might be related.

What I do know is that according to the study I linked, trust in healthcare has fallen quite a bit and that is likely to hinder our ability to slow an outbreak.

I called you out for bad faith, not because of your position on the topic, but because I have re-read this thread over and over and still cannot find anyone making the argument that opening borders and opening prisons is going to prevent diseases.

I did freelance work for a bit, and found that my age helped so long as I presented myself as a consultant. They trusted that I had experience, and it was an easy sell that I could do the jobs. They did assume they would have to pay me more, and that was correct. So it self-filtered out people who couldn't afford me. They did expect project management, as well as business analysis and research to design the solutions in the first place. None of my work was "Here, code this." I even got into helping them refine sales and marketing plans, which isn't what I do. But when you are a highly paid, older consultant, the expectations are likewise high. My clients were always clear that my job was to use tech to help their business, and that was far more varied than just doing software development.
The Dutch, as a country, are "taller than normal", and this is a fairly common point to make about them. I've always taken it to mean that their population average is somewhere above 1.852 meters or whatever, not that they are alarmingly, abnormally tall (which they are not).

So I think this example fails, at least. The original article is trying to make the point that Europe's soil is alarmingly, abnormally dry.
You can do whatever you like.

I would strongly suggest you make your own assessment as far as how well that works out as far as people wanting to hear it or not / listening / the results.

> They can't go longer than a few minutes without checking their phone. It impacts work and leisure.

They can't even put their phone down when something is actually happening right in front of them. People have been recording with their phones since the inception of the camera phone, but I recently saw a metal concert where nearly everyone in the audience had their phones out, including those in the pit! These people should be headbanging, dancing around and roughhousing, but instead they just stood there for periods of time mouth a-gape with their phones raised. Do we really need 3,000+ copies of the same concert using up bandwidth and storage? People are so desperate to be a YouTube star in even the most minuscule of ways. They'll view life through a screen if it meant getting a 1,000 views. It must be distracting as hell to be living life and constantly wondering if you should be recording it.
you can use PurgeCSS on your own, i suppose?
