> low-cost chains like these have been serving really disgustingly low-quality meat for quite some time now; in some cases it could barely even be called meat.

I wish this urban legend would die.

Fast-food beef and chicken at major chains is no different in quality from what you buy at the supermarket.

A McDonald's burger is 100% ground beef and salt, no "additives" or "fillers". And Taco Bell ground beef is ~90% beef, because the rest is ~10% spices (cumin, etc.) because... that's what taco meat is supposed to be, like when you make it at home.

Spreading rumors that it's somehow worse doesn't help anybody. I get that it's entertaining to believe -- but it's simply false.

Blanchard Springs Caverns in Arkansas are truly a site to behold. Pictures cannot do it justice. And I have been to many well known caverns throughout the world to compare.

As far as a cave that you can simply take an elevator down to and walk through on paved sidewalks, it is one of the best in the world. (There are also other portions for the more adventurous. Some that are completely underwater and require scuba gear.)

I think it's a little less direct than that, in this case. The Amazon Rainforest is a big source of cleaning CO2 out of the air (lots of trees). It's burning, which means our CO2 footprint matters even more than before. So, anything to reduce that is then good.

Also, a lot of farmland is used to grow feed for cattle and other livestock, and it's much less efficient than using the land to grow crops for people instead.
But what food do they eat ? How much time off do they have ? What's their living conditions ?
Be careful about jumping to conclusions before you read the full article.

"The high consumption of America’s “poor” doesn’t mean they live better than average people in the nations they outpace, like Spain, Denmark, Japan, Greece, and New Zealand. This is because people’s quality of life also depends on their communities and personal choices, like the local politicians they elect, the violent crimes they commit, and the spending decisions they make."
Sure, OK, you're being a bit overly literal here.

I just mean normal food that people cook at home. Meat and two veg. Spaghetti bolognese. Basic curries without loads of butter etc.

Pub food. Except as I said, only in Polish milk bars have I ever seen this done as something you could feasibly eat every day without health issues.

I disagree with the usage of githooks for linting and testing. It discourages frequenting committing which is a tenet of using git. Commit often, perfect later, publish once (https://sethrobertson.github.io/GitBestPractices/).

Your pipeline should be responsible for ensuring things don't make it into the master branch that shouldn't. Run tests and linting on a pull request and make it a requirement for those to pass in order to merge the PR. Otherwise one of two things is going to happen:

1. People will not commit frequently and you will have a commit history that isn't as granular as it should be.

2. People will just bypass the githook check

TBH I think some of this stems from people's fear of rebasing. I've heard so many times, "But it rewrite's the history". Yes, but it's the history on YOUR branch. Nobody should care what you to do your branch and it is yours to perfect. You should want to rewrite the history of your branch in my opinion. If you're committing frequently there will inevitably be some commits you want to squash or fixup.
> Margarine without trans fats is readily available and can be a healthier fat than butter though

No.

> high trans-fat margarines were bad

There's no such thing as "high trans-fats". Industrial trans fats, like from margarine or other ultra-processed products, is unsafe in any quantity, low or high. There is indeed a principle of toxicology that "the dose makes the poison", however in case of trans fats that dose is really, really low.

Also trans fats are indeed contained, in small doses, in natural foods as well. But it's not the same thing: https://chriskresser.com/can-some-trans-fats-be-healthy/

> Red meat is not very hard to beat in terms of negative health outcomes

There is in fact no tangible proof that red meat has negative health outcomes. All you have are surrogate markers and some poor and old observational studies that can't be reproduced in randomized controlled trails.

Seems misleading because it doesn't account for debt or differing costs of living [edit: doesn't account for it effectively].
What?

The Buddha is speaking very specifically in the quote you've mentioned of a class of religious priest, the brahman, and the contemplative engaging in jhanic meditations that do not lead to the ending of suffering.

You're right, the words of the Buddha weren't written down for hundreds of years after but across those earliest texts flung across space and time, we find an astonishing harmony.

Look, I'm seeing calls to end my supposed promotion of sectarian strife: I love Three Pillars of Zen, have obsessively studied the Mahayana epic the Surangama Sutra, and washed myself in the pure poetry of the Complete Reality school. But I cannot stress enough, and neither did the Buddha, in the importance of incisive, unequivocal language when it comes to identifying right view.

Vajrayana, the deeply mystical arm of Buddhism, stresses the importance of a guru relationship to the disciple, fraught with a history of sexual manipulation. Unquestioned power structures do this. We have thousands of years of history to support this.

Mahayana Buddhism gave birth to Zen, perhaps the cleanest strain to emerge but which sacrificed an essential tenet: that a monk should not grow their own food; should rely on the continuing generosity of the people to survive. It is further compromised by the trappings of rites and rituals, which the Buddha of the early texts rejected.

And what of Nichiren who famously declared that enlightenment was impossible in such a fallen world? The same enlightenment the pre-Mahayana Buddha stressed was for everyone?
When you have a public health crisis, extreme measures need to be taken.

We can't drive on the wrong side of the street. We can't sell tainted food. We can't lie in order to drum up sales.

Society has restrictions on freedom.
Except that the courts have said many times that a seller doesn't have carte blanche to add whatever restrictions they want to a purchase. The First Sale doctrine, for example, means you can't stop someone from reselling their purchased book. It is tricky for digital items, but depending on the exact details, the First Sale doctrine can sometimes apply.

Being able to take the legally purchased text and running it through a computerized reader might end up being legal... we need the courts to decide. It isn't enough that the person selling it doesn't want to allow it.

I think of tiling WM in terms of never having to leave my keyboard, or in other words, never having to make use of the mouse/touchpads. That itself leads to a vast boost in productivity. I haven't used macOS in a while, but when I did use divvy(?) To tile, it seemed cluncky.

Something like i3 is complemented with heavy use of the terminal, which has its own productivity boost over GUI applications. Throw in vim shortcuts in Firefox and you essentially have a system that is completely usable without leaving the keyboard.
Assuming I am a person, 'beyond meat' is not perfectly clear to people.
The fake meat movement is just a cash grab for those who want to eat like crap but feel good about themselves.

Looking at the ingredients list, it's pretty obvious that cancer/heart disease will go up.

I've already got a long-term Put Option on $BYND because not even the CEO or big celebrity investors believe it is a good long-term bet -- cashing out at its peak a few weeks back.

Given the relative ease of spreading information about its deleterious health effects of their products, I think it's a house of cards that will fail, the sooner, the better...
This reminds me of a similar land use issue I've seen a hundred times over. In major cities, in the middle of some of the densest, most trafficked, most transit-oriented neighborhoods, you'll find vacant lots and storefronts that sit there for years. Places that could, presumably, bring in many thousands of dollars every month in rent instead bring in $0 month after month. And the prime real estate sits unused, despite the thousands of residents and tourists that walk buy every single day. I've seen it in many different cities and towns.

Maybe there is some real-estate-specific knowledge I lack that can explain this phenomenon?

(Before digging into the SDK to see if this exists), is there any chance you'd support some form of "custom transport"? In the system I'm working on the micro is only connected to the network via a single board computer through which I'd need to shim the Memfault connection.
The phrase “your country” complicates things even more. Suppose you have an engineer born in Country A, lived most of his life in Country B, currently works in Country C, for a company based in Country D, on technology being sold to Country E. How should that employee think about country loyalty and the potential applications of his code?

I think a good rule of thumb could be: Ask yourself how you would feel if the software you are writing were deployed against you? In other words if the designed purpose of your software application results in winners and losers, put yourself in the shoes of the loser. I think we would have a lot fewer people willing to work on weapons if everyone thought about this a little.
Google defends tracking cookies–some experts aren’t buying it
Ignoring the unrelated 30-min digression about grammar (sic), I’m not tempted to excuse him: he shared personal-level data, including names, with a company that was openly Orwellian. They didn’t hide what they were doing. People started paying attention when they went from sowing division and crafting racist campaign in South-East Asia and Africa to Western countries, but they did not hide their methods before or after. I guess the podcast is making a good case that he’s awkward and naive but that shouldn’t prevent him from seeing the consequence of his sharing his research data.

The biased story seems to ignore that Facebook did ask CA to delete the data as soon as they knew about the sale. I can’t imagine that Kogan didn’t hear about that. On that, I wouldn’t be able to say anything more relevant than the last sentence of the podcast on “creating your own reality”.

Kogan’s avoiding public opinion and his self-excuses are blocking the entire research on social networks. Now, Facebook PR expects that any similar academic collaboration will end badly — and I’m not surprised that those are stalled.
I don’t think any of this is wrong or bad, but it feels a bit outdated. Black and ISort are great, but rather than a setup.cfg, how about using a pyproject.toml - and maybe swap Pipenv for something like poetry.

It sounds like these people could be going into debt. The graph compares consumption, which does not imply the spending was the direct consequence of having some earned income.
The big difference here is that Audible is an audio-book seller which has licensing agreements with publishers, and they are commercially offering the text transcription.

Those publishers probably don't have much leverage against third parties who make tools for personal use. Making copies for personal use is legal, as is manufacturing devices which can make copies. I figure the Android functionality is probably legal given this case:

Despite the advice to add enterprise pricing — advice which I’ve given in the past too — I think you’ve done exactly the right thing with your pricing.

Pricing is a form a bike shedding. You can spend an infinite amount of time worrying about it, and there is no one right answer.

But one thing that a fixed price of $49/mo regardless of team size will do for you is put a hard cap on how much you will work on closing a single account.

Even assuming a very sticky product, by fixing the price your guaranteeing a whale isn’t going to show up in your inbox, promise the world if only features X, Y, Z existed, get you running in circles chasing that ghost, and then disappear without paying a dime, leaving with a pile of code that adds no value to your true customer base.

This pattern is extremely common for small companies that dream of being the next Enterprise SaaS, and the big companies with high probability will never buy from you, but will have no problem dangling carrots that waste your extremely valuable cycles.

Fixing the price is a very overt way to maintain focus and declare that you are going to own your own feature set and build the product you want to build, take it or leave it.

As a sole proprietor this is the safest way for you to grow your company at this stage.

Ignore all pricing discussions and just focus like hell on features that increase your SAM (the number of customers who could actually use your product), your reach (the percentage of your SAM that know you exist) and your conversion (the percentage of people who know you exist that ever actually pay you money).

Also remember that when you start out, the customers you have are not always the customers you want. The low monthly price is a great way to say, tell me what you like and don’t like, but don’t expect me to move mountains to build something special for you.

I would edit, but too late; here is a HN recommendation thread about non-Macbook laptops: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20795113 In it, there are people saying that Intel - nVidia GPU switching has problems on some laptops.

If I take your position as stated: 1) Those claims, by the time they to us, are hearsay and therefore have no value. 2) An Intel engineer stating that they have more knowledge and it should work well, is not hearsay and does have value. 3) Whether the Intel engineer respects the reader or not, matters.

Am I misrepresenting anything in your position here? If not, then I feel the opposite about all three points. This isn't about engineer vs user's knowledge, it's about differences between design-intent and real-world result.

For sure it is cheaper. On the scale of a house, it is not so much, i spent maybe 300€ of wires alone for my house (mix of 1.5 and 2.5mm2).

But you need also to add the manpower cost. With 240V 16A (standard for a 5 plug circuit) breaker you can wire your house with 1.5mm2 wires. For 20A you need 2.5mm2 wires, and for stove (32A) you need 4mm2.

By experience, I can tell you that wiring your house with 2.5mm2 is way harder to manipulate (bending, taking turns etc...) than the flexible 1.5mm2, and you need bigger enclosure in the walls.
Your electrician will charge you higher because of this.

Edit: section for copper, with aluminium you need a higher cross section

Edit 2: my god, in the US you need a wire awg12 (4mm2) for a 20A 120V plug, to have a mere 2400W. This can be wired in europe with 1.5mm2 wires on 16A breaker, and you have 3800W of useful power ! It must be a pain to be electrician in the US

My main gripe about FICO is that they are not transparent about the methodology and the ways in which you could appeal a decision are murky at best and are difficult and take months to fix in many cases. I prefer full transparency as to what the rules are and the algorithms used for the purposes of credit so we as a society can decide rather than private businesses deciding for us what our social credit and other forms of credit is. Why shouldn't I be allowed to improve my credit and why shouldn't that process be completely transparent?

I honestly don't care what people call the different types of meat substitutes. Plant-based meat seems a bit odd to me because it's not, you know, meat. But it seems to be the term in use.
