It makes sense for application where you expect 1 - 20 users max but for places like us we wont use anything that has per user billing. Our end users are in the 1000's

Sushi! I knew someone would bring it up. :)

It's also usually prepared in some way, whether it's flash frozen or treated with vinegar.

But, I guess my point is that the evolutionary argument doesn't really make sense in a world where we evolved tools and have been eating processed food for a long, long time.

Also, evolution happens a lot faster than people give it credit for. Something I read somewhere is that the genes for lactose digestion only started remaining "switched on" in adults like 8,000 years ago, and yet a third of the world now has this gene.

That's a really short time! That's not far from when we develop writing (around 6,000 years ago).

Is the Chinese state-sponsored cyber warfare any worse than what the US or Russia are doing? My impression is that cyber warfare is a part of what it to be an superpower, if your not doing it you are losing(__lots of citations needed__), and I have no reason not to belive that the US is not best in class when it comes to cyber warfare.

You can in theory. In practice buying hardware that is 10x more expensive is not really viable. Mullvad is already fairly specialized mostly for privacy nerds and there are just not enough people who car about the potential security of Intel ME.

Improving the state-of-the-art step by step on the platform that dominates the market will lead to more security gain overall then using what is essentially specialized hardware.
Why don't you tell us what your positions on those topics are? I'm trying to look below the surface here.

I didn't see the citation when you first posted. I don't doubt it's valid, but the issue I had up the comment thread was with the theory that lowered faith in medical institutions is because of anti-vaxxers and fear of incarceration and deportation. Your source says nothing of the sort.

> soups without meat are nearly a no-go for me

This way you are missing maybe 90% of the soups of the world. Maybe try some exotic spices - I used to hate tomato soup from our school canteen with passion, but once I tried a properly spiced variant in Nepali Himalayas, things were never the same again (for the better) and I love it these days (I mean the Nepali version)
"unless I murder myself with study and ignore my family"

I think this is completely true as well. To move past senior developer, you fall into one of these camps:

1. Very bright.

2. Spent a LOT of time studying or messing around with the right tech on your own.

3. Sell your soul, i.e. ignore (or not have) family/kids.

A lot of people from camp #1/2 don't understand that for most, #3 is the only option (in the short term). There is also the very real tradeoff of not going with #3 and risking declining job prospects/salary.

I think this is doubly painful for devs, because they are generally used to quick career progression / salary bumps, and then it stalls hard at senior dev.
Can you point me to some sources that say plant=based meat is less healthy than animal based meat?
Speaking as someone who did quit smoking two years ago, of course you shouldn't keep a (20) pack around, but the difficulty in making the decisions that kill the addiction is the whole crux of addiction. Buying a pack of cigs is easy. So is downloading an app, as easy as deleting it, or throwing a pack in the garbage. Breaking an addiction is keeping the app deleted, it's not buying another pack, and that's the hard part.

Card meters are what replaced the old coin in the slot meters - they're a set price from the utility, so no extra markup for the landlord any more. They're still a fairly expensive way to get fuel compared to monthly payments.

As gambiting says they;re often put in if you get behind on bills, but if you have poor credit or move into a flat that already has them I think it can be pretty damn difficult to get off them. Like some utilities make a charge or ask a deposit to get a normal meter put in again, even if that wasn't down to you in the first place.

So if you've haven't got much you tend to lose out 2 or 3 ways.

One thing the article got wrong is that the Hacker News community is not limited to Silicon Valley.

For instance, the person who has the highest karma is in Brazil. Very few of the people I have met on Hacker News are in the Valley and San Francisco, but I have met people from North Carolina, Philadelphia, Portugal, India, Singapore, ...

If you're interested in both technology and business and you've had enough of the self-promoters promoting self promotion that dominate LinkedIn and other social media places, Hacker News is a refuge.

What is missing from Hacker News is a handful of sensationalist topics that dominate the mass media but lead to discussions that never go anywhere and never terminate.

That's what they are designed to do. Neither the democrats or republicans want the situation with guns or abortion to change dramatically because it would disturb an ecosystem where they can count on a large proportion of the population to vote for them automatically, thus they can get elected while promising less.

What both sides have in common is they look at a place like HN and think that their side is being discriminated against because they are special snowflakes who really have something to say that matters about fake controversies and they don't seem to be satisfied posting to the 99.99% of forums that are choked with that stuff.

The real difference between HN and the social media giants is the business model. I believe Y Combinator runs HN to extend it's reputation, attract startups to join Y Combinator and otherwise participate in it's ecosystem. To do that it has to have quality.

Facebook, Google and other companies based on advertising pretty much have to be merchants of outrage because that is what people click on.

In 2008-9 I had a Neo Freerunner, an early (Linux) smartphone. I also used | in my passwords. Some of the soft keyboards included only a ¦, in the | spot—indicating that the programmer/UI-designer believed them interchangeable. (That is, the character I got on a keyboard by pressing shift-backslash was | even though it was rendered as ¦ on the keyboard silkscreen, but on the smartphone it was ¦ on the key and in the typed text.) This made my log-ins fail in many contexts, and took some inspired thinking to figure out the problem. That was how I first learned the two are not just different glyphs for the same character.

The UN Population Division have underestimated population growth for decades and base their projections on the assumption that fertility will converge on a steady state. This is evolotuniariliy illiterate. People who have more children will have children who have more children.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S109051381...

The heritability of fertility makes world population stabilization unlikely in the foreseeable future

The forecasting of the future growth of world population is of critical importance to anticipate and address a wide range of global challenges. The United Nations produces forecasts of fertility and world population every two years. As part of these forecasts, they model fertility levels in post-demographic transition countries as tending toward a long-term mean, leading to forecasts of flat or declining population in these countries. We substitute this assumption of constant long-term fertility with a dynamic model, theoretically founded in evolutionary biology, with heritable fertility. Rather than stabilizing around a long-term level for post-demographic transition countries, fertility tends to increase as children from larger families represent a larger share of the population and partly share their parents' trait of having more offspring. Our results suggest that world population will grow larger in the future than currently anticipated.
It is technology + business, which is not well represented in other places.

Reddit/programming for instance is full of communists that just don't get it that somebody might be in it for the money (in part or in whole.)

LinkedIn is full of self-promoters self-promoting the idea of self-promotion and doesn't have much space for people who really care about tech.

Hmm. Doesn’t exactly seem like a crisis. So there are some extra digits, that’s ok.
I mean to use EpiPen here in the same generic sense that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine_autoinjector uses in sentences like "Teva Pharmaceuticals filed an ANDA to market a generic EpiPen" and "Sandoz submitted an ANDA to sell a generic EpiPen".

Since "The first modern epinephrine autoinjector, the EpiPen, was invented in the mid-1970s at Survival Technology in Bethesda, Maryland by Sheldon Kaplan[10][11] and was first approved for marketing by the FDA in 1987", at least those patents have expired.

And this article is, after all, talking about generics - authorized generics, certainly, but still generics.

However, you are right - the "Epipen" is a trademark for an epinephrine autoinjector. As such, it can be applied to many things, eg, "Sudafed" packages might not contain pseudoephedrine as they once all did.
On the flip side - who cares? It's just a question of shunting data around - ok someone could add a format specifier somewhere and it would be neater. But there's no particular harm in it either.
Some amount of money will likely be able to buyout those reasons, but that isn't guaranteed and all of those reasons are still reasons.

Highly Agree! I took a tech ethics class and learned so much about the basics of ethics, it really framed the world differently. I followed that up by taking a tech focused philosphy class which expanded on using those ethics basics in applied difficult tech industry questions. Just two classes, probably 6 credit hours total, and I have greatly expanded my mind. I also took a basic sociology course that was about information disparity in america which focused on race, class, etc. that probably helped as well. I so wish I could build a curriculum for modern CS

I don't like singling out bad stories about one person on a larger website that is part of a larger philosophy. And more generally, you seem to think very badly of those people that try to improve the world in their way. That's more than can be said about the vast majority of other communities.

This is probably a hammer and nail thing, but having just heard a podcast about disinformation campaigns (https://samharris.org/podcasts/145-information-war/), your comment shares some traits. The podcast discusses that one of the main things "they" (those behind disinformation campaigns) do is putting groups up against each other in various ways, highlighting the differences rather than the similarities. Regardless of whether you're actively trying to do that (I would assume not, you're probably unaware of the effect this type of comment has), this is exactly the type of comment that creates an us vs them environment and highlights the very, very worst stories of what you perceive to be the other side. It's one of the least constructive things you can do online.

Sure, and Moore's Law for semiconductor transistors didn't last forever, either. But, it lasted from the mid-20th century well into the 21st, over several orders of magnitude reduction in cost.

The current exponential decline in the cost/kWh of solar and wind generated electricity is not as steep, but it is exponential, and it has been going on for decades. If it continues for even one more decade (and that seems quite likely, as the amount of R&D going into it is increasing), then it will drive all fossil fuels off the market. I don't think we're ready for that.
