This is one of my gripes with net neutrality, mostly on cell networks. It ignores how the network operates and that saturating a link at 3AM is different that 5PM.

I agree. And I think what people are missing is that when Gates talks about beyond meat and impossible foods, he’s saying those companies are actually doing something now that have the ability to make a difference by helping people to consume less meat.

And in reality we all have the power to flip the switch and stop eating meat today, which causes as much as if not more greenhouse gasses than all of the fossil fuel industry combined [link below]. And again, no new technology needed, and we can start today.

But as I’ve noticed people tend to put on earmuffs when you mention that.

It's a testament to the improvements in software engineering that we can even write large-scale systems at all in the first place. Structured programming and object-oriented programming [1] have proven to be revolutionary in the language front. Similarly, you can point to the development of the modern DAG-based VCS and continuous integration on the infrastructure front. Or modern IDEs with integrated debuggers and refactoring tools for development; automated regression suites; fuzzers and sanitizers--we've come a long way.

But I think a lot of people keep falling into the same trap when it comes to imagining what the next set of major improvements should be. Graphical programming is a popular example: the author pooh-poohs the terminal, for example. But text is the densest way we can precisely convey information; if we're trying to scale to the next system size, cutting information density by ½ (or more!) is not a good first step.

[1] I'm referring here specifically to the principle that state should be contained with objects that are protected by interfaces and passed around to people who need access to them, instead of everything just being functions that manipulate global variables. This is closer to what Alan Kay's original definition than the current interpretation.

> Voice quality is terrible with VoIP

I was//am an early adopter for Ooma. I still have one and I use it, albeit the "2.0" hardware version now.

Neither I or the other person on the line have experienced voice quality issues. My ISP is Comcast. I have been on hours-long conversations during otherwise high-usage internet usages. The other people have been on landlines, Magic Jack, cell phones over "your favourite carrier".

I don't do any special QOS router//modem configurations other than how I physically wire the hardware together.

I am curious as to what situations others are involved in so much that they are experiencing voice quality issues. Skype? Smart phone over wireless? Dialpad from 2001?
As a strict constructionist, I object pretty heavily to the idea that it is legal for the federal government to 'pre-empt' state law. The federal government ought to be subservient to the states except for the fairly limited scope it is granted by the constitution. Air quality control is not within the enumerated powers of the federal government (except by heavy abuse of the interstate commerce clause, IMO). Thus, it is completely upon the states to decide, and any proper judge ought to refuse to enforce any federal punitive action against a state government.
Even if I went through the trouble of finding where he described it, you would get a pseudonymous guy on the Internet saying a thing, instead of a pseudonymous guy on the Internet mentioning an anonymous guy told him something. So, well, apply your pinch of salt. But I remember it pretty cleanly, as it did shock me a bit.

As others suggested: it was an app-supported Kindle indeed. So it's not like Amazon went crazy unprovoked evil or something.

Edit: I've checked with my wife who has an ad supported Kindle for over a year and keeps it in flight mode for months at a time. It never did that to her. So either Amazon changed that a long time ago, or I've believed a lie.
You don't need to make it disappear, just wiggle it or accelerate it in any way, similar to how you induce electrons to produce EM waves.
When cell plans commonly had night and weekend minutes, people didn't need to accept the charges each time. This is a ridiculous interpretation.

But say, people might schedule their Steam downloader to only update games in off-peak hours. And apps might have features that cache content automatically during off peak to save their users money.
Ummm, I didn't mention Wikileaks, so bringing up them -- and freelancer Israel Shamim -- is whataboutism. My point about Holocaust investigators is undeniable. I mentioned it as evidence that culpability is an accepted justification for releasing information about individuals.

>No, they'll say it is your fault because the bad guys had your username and password.

This sort of claim requires evidence. Many people have had money fraudulently taken out of their accounts, so there is a wealth of experiences to draw from out there. Lots of people are getting hacked via credential stuffing due to password reuse. If the normal response from banks were to blame the customer, everyone would be talking about it.
I think the parent's response is clear, and that they should not rephrase it. In fact, I'm having trouble rephrasing it (without having to explain what "group identity" is).

Here it goes, nevertheless.

People are social beings. We like to find "our" groups, and feel pride in being members of them. Examples of such groups: political parties, nationalities, religion, fans of a particular kind of music/artist/clothing style/tv show, hobby groups, etc).

Because of that, we feel bad when our groups are conflated; we feel it erases a part of our identity. Waged workers in this example feel pride in being not slaves, however nominal the distinction is.

This effect is even more pronounced because in a stratified society (which the Roman Empire was), as a waged worker, you could be confused for a slave, but not for a member of nobility. (We feel the most animosity when being taken to be a member of a group that resembles ours the most. Tell a Ukrainian that culturally, very little differentiates them from a Russian - and be prepared to be lectured on just how wrong you are.)

So, waged workers, then and now, would have reasons to vehemently identify themselves as "not slaves", and thus they would be biased in assessing the differences, seeing all of them as significant.

Ranks of nobility would have no such bias.
There’s a very active association of French people with US nationality - because they were born on US soil, but moved back to France soon after, in some cases because their parents were briefly working there, or on vacation and thought it’d be nice for their kid to have the US nationality - advocating against this.

In the 26 years and 8 companies I've worked at since, along with hundreds of interviews, I've never been asked that question. In fact, my educational background has never come up.

Granted, 26 years is a lot longer than 8 years, but I'm quite surprised to hear your report. 8 years is, objectively, a good bit of experience.
You just successfully disproved my earlier assumption that this used optimizations specifically for isometric views! It actually uses the WebGL for the 3D part too

Also, on a desktop you can use the browser zoom (via the menu) to get it to increase the font size. I managed to get my HD screen to show 96 x 54 characters, which comes close to the resolutions on old DOS terminals I think. Now if only it came with a CRT shader, like this one by Timothy Lottes:

Cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate, which you could consider a plastic although it's not a petrochemical (it's the same plastic commonly used in eyeglass frames).

However, a used cigarette butt will additionally contain adhesives and any flavorings as well as some leftover compounds deposited by the smoke. The wikipedia article goes into higher detail on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_filter

Cellulose acetate is only sort-of biodegradable like Cellulose. Here is a study looking at the topic: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10924-010-0258-...

> Cellulose is readily biodegraded by organisms that utilize cellulase enzymes, but due to the additional acetyl groups cellulose acetate requires the presence of esterases for the first step in biodegradation. Once partial deacetylation has been accomplished either by enzymes, or by partial chemical hydrolysis, the polymer’s cellulose backbone is readily biodegraded.

Sure, the federal government can control the sales of cars. However, the interstate highways are owned and operated by california. California is also the sole authority who can register cars in the state of california for operation. So, while the federal government can force california to allow californians to buy cars produced in another state, it should not be able to force california to allow those cars to be driven on roads owned by the state of california.

> (regular HNer here, posting anonymously for obvious reasons). I work for WeWork, and you don't know the half of it. In mid-August WeWork had their "Summer Camp" event, which was a three day all-hands company meeting in England. About 5500 of 7000 WeWork employees were flown into Heathrow and shipped out to a campground in Tunbridge Wells. Everyone was required to sleep in a tent, generally with four or five other tent mates, on air mattresses on the ground with thin mattresses.

Because of the vegetarianism thing, everyone was forced to eat WeWork-provided food, sans meat (though fish is okay!). This totally broke my ketogenic diet, which made me quite mad. See other comments about this being a form of group control.

For the first day and a half, we were subjected to a number of corporate "talks" which largely revolved around the cult of personalities of Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey. Adam Neumann particularly styles himself a televangelis or Jesus-wannabe and walks out into the audience, asking people about their deepest fears, delivering some ersatz corprorate sermon on the mount. There is no "me", only "we".

See also the time when Rebecca Neumann commands the gathered WeWorkers to hold hands, close their eyes, and pray.

Or the time that Deepak Chopra comes out and shows a disturbing video about childbirth (people were like, "is this an anti-abortion video?) and talks about how evolution and child development are intimately related, and how we should take our shoes off to let the ions flow, and leads a meditation session.

Race is not really biology. At least, not in a way that isn't arbitrary. It's kind of like the concept of "music". There's no good way to put tight bounds around it, because it's ultimately a social concept.
Like I said, the original goal was to have something to stream old movies. There is no service I could reliably find things pre-1970, especially the cardboard era of special effects. I'm a huge fan of the hammer horror films and every now and again I'll want to watch Mothra or Metropolis. Good luck finding anywhere to stream them outside of the "watch x online" sites which generally have poor quality or are mislabeled.

The torrenting features were tacked on later, and honestly I don't think it was much work at all. Setting up a proxy credit card just to sign up for another subscription service is more annoying to me than playing with server gear for a weekend.

>people found out the government lied, that patriotisme can reverse quickly.

Pretty much why CPC is reluctant to endorse patriotism, patriotic positions can be much more extreme than the party line - it's very hard to walk back.

>Living in partial fear for the social credit ain't helping and realizing you live behind a firewall online is enough to grow doubts

These are not really considerations for the general population. Sentiment for social credit where it's tested is positive. People like seeing financial criminals punished. They also like "civilizing" behavior modifications of mass surveillance, i.e. country bumpkins in tier3 cities stop spitting, speeding and jaywalking because they're under observation. GFW is an annoyance but easily circumvented with lax VPN rules.

>Depends on the roots of doubt on your close relatives.

If China is going to collapse, it's going to be due to the demographic time bomb when only-childs watch their aging parents languish because there isn't sufficient social safety net. CPC living standards goals is to "become a moderately prosperous society" where poverty is largely eliminated by 2021 and "fully developed nation" by 2049, presumably one with sufficient social services. I think they're a little behind, and time is not on their side.
