I've found that mercurial works fine, though simple things like lightweight branching require extensions and goofy workflows (the evolve extension, topics)

Not true.

Out of the box with no extensions required, Mercurial supports bookmarks, which are functionally the same as Git's branches. Also, Mercurial supports even lighter branching compared to Git using anonymous branches.

This blog post from 2009 explains it all: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2009/08/a-guide-to-branching-in-me...

E.g
Let's say someone begin to explain me a topic and use e.g two words that I didn't knew before: e.g supervenience and congency.

Humans generally are afraid of new words (especially weird sounding ones) and often will assume that the subject is complex and might intimidate them.

But unknown words can have extremely simple meanings, or be synonyms of already known words.

By asserting: "It's actually pretty simple"
You give them confidence that there's not reason to be afraid of the topic or of the words.

The problem I see is that higher education never really improved performance of anyone. The way it historically worked was that higher education institutions would admit only the smartest people around and so only the smartest people would come out of them, too. Smartest roughly equates to highest performing.

Employers would then be able to use the certificate from those institutions to filter for only the smartest people since those were already filtered for to begin with to be eligible to get such a certificate.

If you put people into higher education that ain't already the smartest, you will get people coming out of higher education that ain't the smartest and employers will learn the hard way that the certificate in question is worthless and will begin to filter through other means. Now those students sit on debt they have no way to pay off, since high paying employers will find the smartest people around some other way.

If you're 20 years from needing it you don't need to worry about protecting it from a crash since you have time to wait for the market to recover. If you could perfectly predict the seemingly-imminent crash then you'd be better off selling all your shares just before and buying government bonds instead, then reversing that when the stock market hits the bottom.

But since you can't predict it, there's not much point doing anything (you can rebalance a bit from stocks to bonds if it makes you feel better but the impact will be minimal). The growth you'll miss out on from selling too early and buying too late will almost certainly outweigh the benefit.

I think you have it backwards. Vegan food is meant to show not only is it free of meat, but that it's also free of animal ingredients that might not be shown on the menu, such as butter. An apple would be suitable for a vegan, so could be labelled (needlessly) as such. A vegan is one who eats food according to those standards.

If a takeaway menu picks out those options that are entirely meat free, and also free of animal fats etc. They'll label that as vegan regardless of knowing or declining if a non-vegan orders it. Maybe they just like that dish.

I quite often do order vegan dishes, Indian takeaways especially, despite remaining a meat eater overall.
What's the point of having modular hardware, if the software-side only get a lifetime of (at least) 1 major version?
Bingo. I think this is a virtuous cycle.

Even if only a small percentage of people are vegans, you only need one vegan in a group of people to pick a place that offers vegan food. Vegan food is also a safe bet for the larger group of vegetarians. That means more places want to offer some good vegan options, which in turn makes more people try vegan food, and makes it easier to be a vegan.

I’m not a vegan nor a vegetarian, but I often find myself ordering vegan dishes because they seem more healthy for myself and the environment. There are so many types of food these days where vegan is not a compromise.

Error logging used to be broken in Firefox at least until last year. I'm not working in frontend at moment and I never got around to submitting a bug (it always happened while at work) but my opinion was that there was a bug somewhere in there where they used a Chromium only API.

And yes, I too have wondered if they only test in Chrome.
"The most intolerant wins," dynamic may explain much of it. The availability of vegan food may have grown because it is a complimentary good which lets groups that include vegans eat there. Previously, groups that included vegans either ended up in vegan restaurants, or didn't eat together at all. Other purity urges could seem to have the same property.

I enjoyed using Skype for a short period - when Microsoft integrated it with the SMS app on Windows Phone. Notifications delivered timely, chatting was a breeze - none of the processor, & ram heavy lag Skype's known for.

After they broke that, I went back to the normal skype.

I stopped using Skype because it framed me and my pals as assholes. I'd send messages and it wouldn't deliver but make me think it did. I'd then think the other person was ignoring me.

It'd say I'm online with both my PC and phone disconnected from the internet. So people would chat me up and I'd not reply for hours or days. And I'd have to start explaining and giving live demos to prove that Skype's playing tricks.

I'd send a message but the recipient will see "your client version cannot handle this message" or some other cryptic message.

I feel like Facebook paid Skype to intentionally frustrate from their service. They keep working hard to push users away.

Ask HN: How much to charge for mobile app development as a freelancer
Starting my own company as a mobile app developer for iOS and Android and just wanted to know what a reasonable price to charge.By the hour or flat fee. Thank you.
Afaik, Microsoft doesn't make much from large OEM sales since they give such a steep discount. I asked Lenovo to reduce the price on my laptop because I wouldn't be using Windows, so they gave me ~$40 discount and asked me to not enable Windows (which I didn't). This tells me that Windows for OEMs is around that price, which is less than half of the retail price.

Also, a $400 laptop is hardly comparable to a $1500 Apple laptop. I've had one of those, and the hardware really sucks, and stuff starts breaking within a year. It may have the same CPU, but the rest of the components are really crappy. If you want an closer comparison, compare high end laptops with the Apple laptops (Lenovo X- series, Dell XPS series, etc), which run at a much more similar price. If they're lower, it's because they have more competition than Apple does (Apple doesn't license its OS to competitors, so if you want their OS, you must buy their hardware).
People do understand the difference, my household drives around 3000 miles per year, so telling me that a brake change once every 10 years is important is kind of ridiculous.

It gets down almost entirely to personal behaviour.
they invest in businesses/franchises to keep a constant cash flow. that and fixed income due to low risk. taxes are avoided by keeping things offshore unless absolutely necessary to tunnel back to the us.
There’s reasons for doing it, though. For example, iOS Safari likes to zoom past 1.0 slightly when focusing an input and doesn’t zoom back out to 1.0 when unfocused. This often leaves users in a slightly zoomed in state which means they can easily miss right side aligned buttons and content. Setting the maximum scale to 1 in the viewport prevents this.

I think that's a great solution, but not easy to implement. How do you establish the market rate? Is it the highest price that will still lead to all parking being filled? If so, how do you talk that price? Or more complicated: how do you account for the price / value associated with other forms of issue that are more unavailable? For example: what rent could be collected if the parking spot was outdoor seating for a cafe? What price would a developer pay to build more housing units? What m value is lost for society by not having a strip of green?
You don’t necessarily need to store DNS changes into the blockchain. The blockchain will only keep the current state and would prune the changes. According to Diode’s blog posts, 20kb of storage is all it needs with BlockQuick, the newly developed light-client protocol.

The point is less about storing the audit history, but more about preventing Man-in-the-Middle attacks and solving the timestamp-certificate chicken-egg problem.
True. I'll guess (can't access the original report) that it's something like "expressly designated vegan version of main course items".

For example, this from the Guardian: ... the owner of I Am Doner, a pair of kebab shops in Leeds and Harrogate, said his vegan kebab routinely outsold chicken, halloumi and falafel. Made from seitan, a meat substitute derived from wheat gluten, the “voner” kebab sometimes outsells the lamb alternative too.

That said, wouldn't falafel be vegan? Clearly, precision is evolving here.

Because if you have an accident and they find out you had tyres/rims different from stock they will absolutely either refuse to pay out the claim or reduce it significantly. Especially if you put on tyres of a different size than that approved by the manfucaturer, they can very easily say that a tyre that is too narrow/too wide affects how the car handles and it would have contributed to the accident.

After 15 years of not eating meat, the past 1-2 years have been a golden era of vegetarian options in the grocery store, restaurants, and fast food.

Based on anecdotes and my social circles, the number of people completely avoiding meat hasn't changed. But omnivores adopting a semi-veg lifestyle has increased.

If I had to pick one thing, I'd say environmental concerns are the main reason my omnivore friends and colleagues are eating less meat.
I did not mean to come about as cynical, I simply do not understand this mindset. If you identified a problem, why not fix it? Why keep on making the same decision with the same deterministic outcome?
The issue is not that this rich couple is promoting good in the world (nb: I'm not going to nitpick the grammar that others are chuckling over).

The issue is that it might be better for society not to allow people to amass so much wealth, such that society as a whole must then rely on them to pick out issues to try and solve. It might be better if we could solve social problems collectively, through a better system of taxing and directing money to social programs, rather than allow it to bubble up to a few and wait for noblesse oblige to kick in.

I'm looking at other countries, where the inequality isn't so great and the quality of life is better for everyone. Much of western Europe is an example I think we'd do well to follow.

In short: why leave it up to Gates and Buffett to decide what's a good use of what society produces? We could collectively decide we wanted universal health care, free university, and so on, like various other nations have successfully offered for decades.
Between population growth not slowing anywhere near fast enough and rapid environment loss due to climate change, there is a good chance we'll see the mother of all triages. Not something to look forward to.

OK, found the British Takeaway Campaign 2017 report, https://jeweb-11431-s3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/applicatio... - It's a pretty detailed and interesting report, but for everything in there it doesn't provide this data point. Overall, it does mention: Spending on takeaway grew to £9.9 billion in 2016, up more than a third (34%) since 2009 (£7.4 billion).

Still looking for the rankings / market share... OK, here's that, from the Mirror of all places, but referencing a 2017 report by Paymentsense, which tracks payments.

The top 10 takeaways:

Chinese - 35 per cent
Indian - 24 per cent
Pizza - 13 per cent
Fish and Chips - 7 per cent
English - 4 per cent
Italian - 4 per cent
Burgers - 3 per cent
Thai - 2 per cent
Mexican - 1 per cent
Turkish - 1 per cent

> (1) traits aren't markers: mental retardation is a trait, some Gene may be a marker.

Ah, I should be clear I was trying to use vague terms. Any overlap with real terms is coincidence, and not intended. Just for clarification :)

> I'm not saying that anything “isn’t inferior, due to moral reasons”. On the other hand, I'm saying that any designation of “inferiority” is (not restricted to genes, but ever, anywhere) a subjective value judgement. And that because of the complexities at play in genetics, people will quite vehemently disagree on judgements about which genes are inferior and should be eradicated, both because they will disagree about which traits should be eradicated and because very often the relationship between traits and genes is complex.

I agree. Yet, isn't that the case with all medicine? Hell, much of the deaf community wants to stay deaf - should we stop working on hearing impairment to placate one group that likes a thing? This seems like backwards development to me.

> not imposing their use top-down on society and culling “undesirables.”

Oh, I'm not sure where I gave the impression that I wanted to cull society. Nothing I said was intended to be forced. Well, beyond the obvious forcing in that the baby has no say in the matter lol.

I wouldn't advocate for culling in the same way I'm not advocating we forcibly implant deaf people with hearing implants. In my view, that's not a reasonable discussion. You can argue against it if you like, but I'm not the counterpart for that argument haha :)

> Are you guaranteeing that all the resulting technology will be freely available to all?

Nope, definitely not. In the same way medicine is hugely corrupt and not available to all, currently. However just because there are society based problems in distribution of advancement is not an argument to avoid advancement, imo.

If so, we should throw modern medical science out the window. Millions, hell billions of people are unable to get even "old" treatment, let alone modern or bleeding edge treatment. I don't believe that invalidates the usefulness of said advancements, though. It's just a different problem entirely.

This is the same question you can ask about any counterfeit good. I think the general problem space is very interesting.

You can embed a chip which itself is hard to copy, or which tries to protect an internal private key used to attest to the authenticity of the item. Then you have to be sure these chips are themselves secure from cloning, and possibly worry about them being recycled off discarded genuine items and reused.

If you want to make an attempt with some sort of passive shared secret or serial number (e.g. QR code), then you probably have to rely on that number being tied to where the item was being sold (Lot 174351 was sold on Date X and Retailer Y) and being able to lookup that number to track the history of the item. This is probably good enough for verifying "First Sale".

Once the item is being resold, it becomes harder to verify that a static value has not been cloned onto a counterfeit item, unless you are registering the item to each successive owner, and explicitly handing off the registration (like how it is done with cars and VINs).

I do not know of a solution that uses a static value that isn't protected by some sort of HSM, that also maintains the privacy of the person holding the item - e.g. does not require some sort of registry.

Dooglius mentions PUFs - this is type of HSM which uses micro-imperfections in a physical structure to essentially implement a hashing function, which can be used to implement a challenge-response protocol. The challenge with PUFs is that by relying on an uncontrollable aspect of the manufacturing process, these same performance variations may not be stable across environmental changes (temperature, humidity, voltage, time, etc.). The more error correction you add to ensure the function is repeatable, the less truly unclonable the function may become.
I'm aware, that was a different point of criticism. I apologize if that wasn't clear.
Last I checked, my Linux and BSD systems don't phone home. I primarily use openSUSE, Arch, and FreeBSD, with some Debian thrown in, and I know none of those phone home by default (and I don't know if there's a way to ask them to phone home). There may be other OSes in those families that do (I've heard Ubuntu does), but that's completely fine since you have a choice (I can run any Linux or BSD app on another OS in the same family that doesn't phone home).
