> Besides, the a primarily vegetarian diet doesn't necessarily mean no meat

Just eat less.

If you eat less, you automatically balance your diet.

You could live of three pieces of beef junkie a day for a long time, that's not so bad for environment as well.

They made you believe that "meat production is so absurdly energy, land, and water intensive" but that's because our information system is mainly based on the US lifestyle, the land of freedom (to destroy other people lives).

I grew up in places like this, where meat production is almost a natural process.

The more you eat, the more the spectrum moves towards junk food.

Beyond true hunger, it's only addiction.

Addictions are never a good thing.
Eh? You mean, "not at all"? I assume they're talking about the 'satanic ritual abuse' collective delusion here. In this, young children were convinced, through improper questioning (largely by untrained police, not proper psychologists AIUI), that they'd been exposed to some pretty non-specific abuse, often with supernatural elements.

This is worlds apart from an adult saying, spontaneously and without any brainwashing from the police, that they were abused by a specific person.

> I guess my definition of open source...

Then you've misunderstood what "open source" means. The term "open source" was invented specifically to describe software with the following properties (among others) [1]:

~~~

1. Free Redistribution

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

[...]

3. Derived Works

The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

~~~

Any software which doesn't meet those criteria isn't open-source.

Hello boogeyman - then let me be your counter example.

I eat meat regularly. But it is not that much - compared to the national average. And I know exactly that neither the cattle, nor their food came from anywhere near the Amazonas.

I only eat meat when I know the producer and how they produced it. In my case it is a local farm that is a closed system: They grow what they need to feed their cattle - and use the manure to grow their crops (and so on). And the cattle is treated by very high standards regarding organic meat production in Germany (Bioland standard).

In the winter months I do eat about 50 - 110 grams of meat per week on average. Depending on if I do have a bigger piece of meat on the weekends or "just" some ham (and the like) during the week.

In the summer month my garden produces so much vegetables that I am nearly fully vegetarian - my current meat average for the summer is below 10 grams per week.

Disclaimer: Yes, I have butter at home to cook with. Yes I use dairy, also from said local farm.

But - and that is the interesting aspect for me: A lot more people could do this.

The produced meat is of such a quality, that I can have the ham cut so thin, I could read the newspaper through it - it still tastes way more intensive than the stuff from the big box store.

So per slice of bread - my ham is costing me less than before the switch.I am actually saving money by having a great taste and also supporting local farmers that act in sync with the environment.
Do you have a citeable source for the claim that the underground pays for the roads? You often hear drivers that claim more rights because "they pay for the roads".
This is insane... I react to a post saying "I am not connected to what happens in Brazil" by saying, yes, as a matter of fact, you are very likely to be connected to those events and people jump the gun and talk about sin, guilt and boogeymen...

We have a problem. We have put in place structures, institutions and incentives that are failing us and jeopardizing our capacity to protect our values in the future.

I agree that the individual has a limited impact on what is happening and collective action is needed.

And yet, collective action is not going to happen if every individual is defecting or just stays ignorant of their place in those systems.

And yet, the problem is not going to disappear if no one is implementing at least some changes to one's lifestyle.

You say the only motivation for you is to be able to say "it is not my fault" but reality does not care whose fault it is...

Is there people actually making tomato sauce with ketchup!?

I've seen several recipes for tomato based sauces that use ketchup as an ingredient if that's what you mean. But it's used a flavoring ingredient, not as the bulk of the sauce.

Can we now definitively say that AI has passed the Turing test ?
I think the trope of 'intelligent' automata being too literal goes back farther than the word 'robot', though. It also sounds a lot like the ancient stories that you hear about things like golems. Remember The Sorcerer's Apprentice, from Fantasia?

It comes across as a warning that we don't really have any solid understanding of what we're doing when we create new and powerful entities, and that pride cometh before the fall.

Plus, any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology :P

Human behavior is economic behavior, which is a fancy way of saying "people do things because there's a perceived benefit to doing so". Altruistic behavior usually carries at least a social benefit, besides the "I did good" feeling which is also a personal benefit. Blaming someone for something outside their control and saying that they're always to blame no matter what nullifies both of those incentives: you stop reaping their rewards.

This is a good example: if you're still shamed despite altruistic behavior, why would I possibly keep making sacrifices that I gain nothing for (including feeling good about having done them) when I can go back to my VASTLY more rewarding hedonistic lifestyle?

If you put someone in a situation where they're supposed to feel shame no matter what, they're going to become 100% insensitive to it in record time. In other words: yes, I am guilt-free because there's no other possible state under this framework of inescapable blame.
Radicals are the other half of phono-semantic compounds. For example, in 媽媽 māma "mother", 女 nǚ "woman" (the first half of 女書 nǚshū "woman's writing") is the radical and 馬 mǎ "horse" is the phonetic part. The radical helps narrow down the meaning and the phonetic component gives you an approximation of the pronunciation. Of course it depends on the time and place the character was coined and even then it wasn't always an exact match (see the phonetic series at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A6%AC#Chinese), but if you have multiple reasonable guesses for the word, it can pretty much narrow them down to one. Similarly, the radical alone can't communicate the full meaning, but it helps with disambiguation. That's why dictionaries used it as a coarse categorization method.

> If you eat meat regularly, you are connected to Brazil's deforestation, either for cattle or for soy feed.

That's an obviously false conclusion.

If I only eat locally sourced meat that's not fed inferior soy feed, how does that in any way contribute to Brazil's deforestation?

Right now I don't know if banks offer the CEO to approve big transactions easily on his mobile phone, but that would be a possible solution (email is not structured enough for this).

Also while Bitcoin community is creating new standards for collaboration, like multisig transactions and partially signed transaction format (which would help here in creating a bank-independent solution), I don't see the same standardization happening in the banking system.

Telegram Pushes Ahead with Plans for ‘Gram’ Cryptocurrency
I started with Fedora (because basically all my day to day work involves RHEL/CentOS), moved to Manjaro and ended up on Arch for various reasons.

Also: I'm not judging an ecosystem, I'm judging the Laptop support of Linux and I know that some of it is not even the fault of Linux itself.

Things like:

- Windows has 7h battery lifetime, Linux gets 3h on my Laptop (that is with Fedora)

- Which driver do I need to disable the NVidia card? Modesetting, xf86-video-intel, nouveau, etc.. .what do these even mean? (that is with Fedora)

- Why does the modem not work? (That is with Fedora)

- Does my Laptop have a light sensor?

- How to disable the "Hot Corner" in Gnome (Fedora)
and many more things.

Almost everything I'm facing has nothing to do with the distro and I switched to Arch because its documentation is by far the best out there.
Is there an example of these? I'm having a hard time picturing how a barrier can allow bikes and large traffic to pass whilst blocking other traffic.
well often when I read the source of a library (or tool or framework or what term we wish to use), even one that I am free to modify the source of, I will see that the way I thought I was going to solve my problem was not the way to do it and I will need to alter my code not the code of the library.

In a few occasions I see that I need to alter the library, if I do not have the rights to do that then I would probably end up dropping the library as being inadequate to the task.

In some occasions I have seen that I would like to get rid of the library but I am generally not allowed to by other business decisions, in those cases I have always been able to find some hack that allows me to do what I need to even if it goes against the preconceptions of the used library. I then make extensive comments in my code explaining why, probably referring to the other solutions I would prefer to use and explaining why I was unable to do so.

Why? What do you do?

> They didn't say that everyone is guilty, just connected.

That doesn't say anything though. Everybody is connected to everything. It may be direct, indirect, with one or two or twenty hops, but everybody is connected. You can make an argument that the last few uncontacted tribes aren't connected, but everybody else is, especially by the "you're living in a society that reaps the benefits" idea, because pretty much everybody does that to varying degrees (but still connected) with technology, medical advances etc.
Possibly. It would probably be a good idea if someone helps those villages fund the new fridge. Saving that $100 per month would add up quickly.
Ask HN: are pwd managers more secure?
Let's say I use 1password or any other password manager. They will eventually get hacked or there will be a back door or some exploit. Right?

Convince me!
Of course the responsibility lies with the driver, and he/she should take the driving instructions with a grain of salt. But often while driving you do not have time to think about it for more than a second before having to decide whether to take the turn or not. Furthermore, you don't even know in advance whether the turn will lead you to a dangerous location. And when driving in an unfamiliar foreign country, your reliance on navigation apps is almost absolute.

The examples I listed do not bode well for self-driving cars: if they rely on incomplete navigation maps/databases, they will make wrong navigation decisions and possibly lead the passengers into danger or a dead-end (such as an alley that's too narrow for the vehicle to traverse).
Personally, I think it's possible to keep and scale our current lifestyle with changes like growing meat in vats instead of on animals, better power management, green energy, etc. But that's more faith than knowledge speaking.

The big problem is that even those changes are hard. It is much simpler to have giant wars that cull 5-10% of the world population. In fact, we might end up with both: giant wars, and the survivors deciding they don't want more such wars and trying to fix the root cause of them.

Assuming civilization doesn't collapse wholesale, of course…
At best this attack used AI to create a text to speech engine whose output sounds the like the CEO in real-time. At worst it generated a number of pre-canned sentences that the scammers just replayed over the phone in the right order.

There's nothing in this scam that implies the AI is in any way responsible for the actual content of the conversation.
I don't think so (well, not entirely so anyway).

I had switched to "50% less sugar & salt" [0] some months ago, and more recently discovered the "no added sugar & salt" [1] version and use this one since then. Sure it's not exactly the same taste as "regular" heinz ketchup but I'd say it's close enough.

I disagree, hiding behind the anonymity of the crowd is critical in protests. Yes, they might catch a few people, but if you know for sure they'll just round everyone up later because they know exactly who was protesting, suddenly nobody wants to do it.

If your level of security is "This guy on the phone sure sounds like someone I should wire several hundred thousand dollars for" you should probably look at improving your security procedures.

Whilst it's funny these guys did this with AI I can't help but feel that they could have done this with someone who is halfway decent at accents and saved themselves a lot of effort.
Use Adblock from futuremind. It cost less than a beer. It set’s up a local dns vpn so you can still use a VPN like nordvpn. You can then block any type IP or set up complex rules. I’ve been able to block youtube ads and all the other stuff on their page. I only see the video I go to. The only limiting thing is a 5000 url/ip limit and that I have to open up and restart the App once a day usually.

Wait, how does anyone know what technique the fraudsters used?

The source of that fact is probably a Wall Street Journal reporter, who heard it from the victim's insurer, who heard it from the police.

If they didn't catch the criminals, how is it possible for the police to find out they used "deepfake" or "AI"?
My family and I have changed our ways. I used to live a typically American lifestyle - spending 4 hours every day in the car, mostly parked on a freeway, to get to work. Ordering takeout 5 times a week because I was too exhausted to cook for myself. Buying useless crap that filled my house, only to get a bigger house for more useless crap.

But, after the 9/11 attacks, I took a good hard look at myself. You could say, the blowback factor was real.

Now I live in a modest house just outside the city where I work, and I can cycle into the city in 40 minutes through a green landscape when the weather is good. My family and I are avid gardeners and grow our own veggies for 4/5th's of the year - sourcing it from local farmers for the rest of the time when our garden is sleeping for winter. We cook for ourselves like demons, and have massively improved health as a result. My children are taller and stronger than their peers, because they've been raised on home cooking and fresh vegetables where their peers were not.

I also ride electric, always and only - a small, weak, underpowered electric moped gets me through the city comfortably, and I recharge it every few days from house power, derived from renewables (solar and wind). Its pretty much ideal in terms of carbon footprint.

It took a big change however. I had to leave the USA and now live in middle Europe (Vienna, Austria) - a country that has long since decided to upgrade the standard of living of its people through smart economic policies designed to reduce dependence on petroleum. Its not perfect - there is still a lot of work to do in my community - but its certainly better than the, frankly disturbing, lifestyle I led in the USA.

The point is, the resources are there. People can actually massively reduce their carbon footprint if needed. You may have to move - far and wide - to escape the city trap. If you are spending more than an hour every day in your car, just to support your lifestyle, this is a clue that you MUST change. Every hour spent in traffic is a crime against the planet.
> Don't you realize you've contradicted yourself here?

I think "there's really not much on the line" and "take a tiny risk" are consistent.

We have solid health insurance (not like the top plan), but no 401k contributions and therein lies the "risk" I refer to.

> It is a kind of battery

I find it ironic that this sort of thing is so overlooked with solar/wind power on the electric grid. Consumer electricity prices should be allowed to rise and fall with the availability of solar and wind. Then, you can heat one hot water tank only when electricity is cheap, and also use that tank to heat your house in winter. In summer, a separate tank can be chilled when power is cheap, and used to cool the house.

Or even simpler, a pile of rocks will work.

With such a scheme, the need for grid batteries would be reduced enormously. Instead grids have the problem of what to do with the extra power when there's too much of it.
Electricity is cut ten times a day in India. They know how to deal with that, everyone is running a generator.
Same in Stockholm, 30 minutes is the definitive answer to calculating public transport times in the city and close by suburbs.
Nope: solar panels, gas generators, even handcranked chargers are enough to keep a cellphone going.
99% of the time I run Windows 10. Despite the negative press that Windows gets on here, it gets the job done with zero issues, and any time I get a weird issue it's usually to do with permissions.

I used to run Debian alongside Windows 10, but I found myself not needing it as much, so I cleared Debian off and decided to use it as a VM instead.

My main language at the moment is Ruby, which is notoriously bad on Windows, so I use either my VM or WSL for Ruby work. The rest I can comfortably do on Windows.

I've had this laptop for years, and it's still fast and smooth. The trackpad is also a close second best to the fantastic MBP trackpads, with the keyboard being (arguably) better on the SB. My only criticism of it is the unnecessary tablet functionality. If Microsoft were to create a Surface Book equivalent without touch screen and a detachable screen, I'd consider it for work.
Kinda silly that we still can't make an objective measurement of taste, like we can for images, sound.
there's a bunch of stuff on HN currently about not believing everything you're told and fake memories and such, but anyway I could swear that this has not always been the exact definition - that this definition, and the referenced site, have sort of taken over the definition and applied an extreme version of the term.

I believe this because I also believe there used to be two terms open source, and free, that these were distinct, and that all things that were open source were not necessarily free or vice versa. But it seems to me with the above definition that all things which are open source must then be free although all things that are free still do not need to be open source.

on edit: clarified I was referring to HN in first use of the term "site"
It's easy if they are on social media everyday.
You just have to encourage them to believe whatever bullshit they already do. Compliment them. Encourage their fan clubs. Give them stories about how their opponents are lying/cheating/dening their brilliance etc etc. The more it happens, the higher their social media counts climb, the further and faster they get disconnected from reality.

Looks very interesting. Is this you? What are the physical dimensions (LxWxH) of say 5 kWh and 10 kWh batteries?

Edit: Okay, found it [1]. For 2.7KWh it is Height 929mm, Width 313mm, Depht[sic] 329mm. That's large but definitely within acceptable usage.

Follow up question: What are stacking limitations? How much clearance do you need between different two modules or wall and module? Can you stack vertically?
