Why are they required to have committed a crime? Cloudflare isn't the government, why do you believe they're obligated to serve 8chan?

Cloudflare took down one website that was directly related to a major tragedy that cost people their lives. If you want to complain about that go ahead, but I don't care. I don't allow people to use my websites to spread that kind of hate, and I have no problem with Cloudflare doing the same in extreme circumstances.
Industrial farming also produces less nutritious food generally. Plants can uptake 20+ minerals from the soil, but industrial farms only add the 3 that directly fuel growth - Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus. You get taller, faster, less nutrient-rich crops.
> Because the amount of CO2 emission reductions we need are clearly impossible with the current system.

Depends what you mean here, if you mean politically impossible because right people want to get richer and the easiest way to do that short term is do nothing, sure.

Technically from my understanding the climate crisis is very much solvable, but it is a giant coordination problem between very dishonest actors with zero trust.
Gosh, there are currently 5 responses to your question and every one is pure speculation.

Folks, if you don't know the answer, don't answer.
I dunno, I would much rather retain the ability to download a new browser that promises improved privacy (i.e. by integrating with their own DNS service that includes pi-hole) than be limited to one of four well-known American OS vendors.

Alternatively, I see no reason why someone can't write a small application that runs a resolver on localhost, adjusts your hosts file accordingly, and forwards queries to any third party or distributed network of your choice. Wait a sec, I already have dnsmasq and/or systemd-resolved doing this on some of my machines. It can be done right now with no need to wait for the OS vendor to change things.
But even your example can be viewed as an unavoidable cost of doing business where the alternative is to not be in business. In other words there's a distinction to be made between regulatory compliance where you have no choice and automating payroll processing where you do have a choice. I think it's pretty clear we're talking about the latter and I would not categorize an internal software development team who's job is to make the business run more efficiently as a cost center, even though there's not external sales of their work products.
It's more nuanced than simply a wealthy slave-owner doing whatever he wanted with impunity.

When Jefferson was appointed has the US envoy to France and spent over two years living in Paris, he took Sally Hemings with him. This was before he started having sex with her.

France had abolished slavery, and under French law at the time if you brought a slave into France they had the right to leave slavery and remain in France if they wished.

Jefferson and Hemings started their sexual relationship while in Paris. When Jefferson went back to the US, she agreed to go with him (and thus return to slavery) in exchange for his agreeing to certain conditions, including that any children they had together would be freed.
Is this specific to software? Do you believe any patents should be allowed to exist? Anything I can create must necessarily be a logical product of smaller building blocks.

Should Carl Benz not have been granted a patent for the motor-car? Engines, wheels, and seats were not new.
Under capitalism, food is produced to be sold in as great quantity as possible, and therefore is designed to be addicting by their producers, large and small. It is possible to design food production to be healthy instead of craving driven.
here in Germany distilling your own spirits is illegal (I think there's an exception for very small personal amounts), and yet I don't think I've ever seen some sort of early 20th century moonshine market.

I've seen these arguments about enforcement frequently but we're talking about modern governments here. If Uncle Sam wants to stop flavoured smoking they will be successful. They can go after online platforms that don't shut these exchanges down, they can go after individual sellers with harsh punishments, and so on.

I very much doubt the margins on vaping products are so high that someone is going to risk their neck over it. Menthol cigarettes in the EU were banned a few years ago and I can't remember having seen one in a long time.
One experiment [1] with rats, which made sense to me, went like this: Some rats got a lot of sugar and did not gain weight. Another group got a lot a fat and gained some weight. A third group got a 50:50 ratio of sugar and fat and gained a substantial amount of weight.

This is one of the reasons why some people (like me) can eat cake made of 50% sugar and butter nearly endlessly. It's an unnatural combination and somehow transitions our brains into zombie mode where we never feel satiated.

For that reason you can find that combination in a lot of processed food...

First, those aren't large.

Second, you seem to be assuming that those are actually spaceships. That's somewhat far from proven.
How to Use Generators and Yield in Python
It seems like the typical "macronutrient analysis" does not provide a good metric for a food being "ultraprocessed" because in order to get the fat/carbohydrate/protein numbers, we essentially ultraprocess (in fact burn) the food while measuring it! Fat is extracted, protein is recorded by nitrogen content, and carbohydrates are counted by the weight difference in a calorimeter.

A few commenters have pointed to "dietary fiber" as that number on a food label which might warn of "ultraprocessing". This is reasonably close because the definition of fiber is actually dependent on digestion. It might be important to remember that fiber is properly understood as a metric, i.e. "indigestible fraction", rather than as a substance per se. For example, pureeing a piece of fruit reduces the satiety effect of consuming it:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019566630...

This is a rather simple and compelling demonstration that simple substance-content analysis does not tell you everything you need to know about what you're eating.

TFA also comes close to explaining, in my opinion, the strange phenomenon with fad diets where they seem to work well for early adopters and not so well after they catch on. In the early stages of a fad diet, food manufacturers haven't caught on, and dieters are forced to prepare food from scratch. In the later stages, you buy the frozen bag of "paleo" chicken nuggets from the freezer aisle or you unseal a quart of "vegan" milk in the morning when you have coffee. These products are not the same thing eaten by someone who cut up raw chicken and rolled it in cashew flour, or someone who blended their own almond-milk.
Anecdotal: The difference between being able to buy a pack of chicken breasts at Costco vs having to make my own seitan is definitely a huge difference in time.

My wife and I tag-team the parts we hate most (I don't like working with dough, but she hates steaming it) and we end up with enough for a week to cook into actual recipes without too much headache, but I can't just buy a protein ready to go like I used to be able to.
It's coming from outside the market.
> Assume the stock grant was 48,000 if you have after the day after you completed 12 months, you get to keep 12,000 shares not 24,000.

I meant that if the other shareholder also only has 12,000 at that point, that's 50%.

> In terms of taxes, you have to file an “83b election” with the IRS to prevent being liable for “paper wealth” that’s not really cash.

> Technically you are granted all 48,000 shares at a nominal value like .00001 and the company has the automatic right to buy back the shares you do not vest at that same nominal value.

I see, and I guess that explains the first issue too.
I know that the net calories consumed/burned is what determines my weight, but the benefit of a low carb diet (only speaking for me) is that I am not hungry. I lost 50 pounds in the first six months and have been at the same weight for 18 months.
Very true. Plenty of projects I've worked on have had immovable dates that suddenly become movable once you get close enough to them.

On the flipside though I do think a deadline is necessary for everybody involved, developers and managers alike. It really helps to limit feature creep. And it forces people to think about what they really want or need.
And opposite when approaching retirement age.
Well, maybe that works for you, but I'm more comfortable not trusting anything coming from Facebook...
Why do private investors need protection? Why can't they be held responsible for the foolishness of their actions?
This kind of “silken” sachet is what you get when you buy sachets from Harney, but they also sell a lot of loose-leaf. I would even say that’s closer to the original core of their business. I used to order big bags of hot cinnamon spice, a decade or so ago.
I think they were saying that, despite being vegan, they took a bit to cut them out after realizing they wouldn't help with weight loss, since they are still junk food.
Something many people are not aware of is that the UK is a lucky country in terms of natural resources, with these resources playing a critical role in the development of the country over thousands of years. Wind power is just the latest example, and there's still plenty of resources left underground for the future, should the economics turn positive.

Somewhat ironically, one factor that has greatly facilitated the development of offshore wind in the UK is the world leading expertise in offshore construction gained through decades of exploitation of North Sea oil and gas.
>I’ve been wondering what they both share in common, and suspected that both forms of dietary restriction mean cutting out most hyper palatable ultraprocessed foods.

It can also be combination of the two food categories that causes issues. Insulin spikes from carb intake and dietary fat are not a good combination. At least according to diets like "Keto". Both of those diets tend to have lopsided intake of fats and carbs.
I don't understand how people think self-driving is Uber's solution. Right now drivers are a variable cost. Is Uber going to buy or lease fleets of self-driving cars (that will depreciate and need to be replaced)? That seems like a CapEx heavy business and it's not clear it's a better one from what they have right now, which is only possible because it's a giant labor law hack at scale.
Some of these fancy bags (e.g. from tea pigs) are made from polylactic acid. This is derived from corn starch and used in temporary medical implants (it degrades to lactic acid) so hopefully it's safe.
The point is that carbohydrates are calorie dense. You don't need to eat a lot of them to get a lot of calories.

Fish is one of the least calorie dense meats. Vegetables and fruits are some of the least calorie dense foods. It's nearly impossible to eat enough lettuce in a day to go over your daily recommended calories. It just won't fit.

So, in a lot of ways, keto, paleo, vegan, Mediterranean diets are all sneaky ways to cut out a major source of calories. You don't have to count them because just the way you're eating is taking care of that aspect.

But if you want to eat Twinkies exclusively, you can do that as long as you eat only so many.
My buddy used to work for Lipton. He explained that they use the cheapest grade of tea (dust) available. Also many tea companies mix non-tea additives (fillers) to their tea bags.

After hearing this I decided, if it's not full loose leaf, I don't drink it. We found that companies like Elephant Chateau (http://elephantchateau.com) deliver the 3 highest grades of tea direct from Ceylon mountain estates with the option for plant-based pyramid bags (soilon) or a free stainless steel infuser.

Bonus, the tea actually tastes like tea and is tasty enough to drink plain unlike Lipton dust. It always funny to hear people promote all the health benefits of tea then turn around and dump 100 grams of sugar into a cup to make it palatable.
Ummm... sure? I mean, cool, sounds like an interesting subject.

> This seems to make a lot of sense, and removes that ridiculous notion that somehow removing a single element from our diet is what will lead to weight loss - the foods that people gain weights on are the foods that give us mixed signals to their quality and quantity of calories. It's hard to not feel you've eaten a lot of calories roast beef when you've eaten a lot of roast beef, but it's much easier to lose track of how many chips you've eaten, and harder to match that to the relative amount of calories consumed.

It doesn't make sense at all.

There is quite a bit of research on satiety - how full foods make you feel. It's actually quite straight forward: Protein, water and fiber make you feel full. Carbs do not. Mostly fat does not (you need a certain minimum amount of fat in your diet).

You feel full after eating a lot of roast beef, because it's got tons of protein in it, not because it's not "processed".

You can gorge on chips because they are carbs and fat and have almost no protein, not because they the process of creating the chips confuses your body.

Guess what? You can gorge just as heavily on homemade 4-ingredient bread (technically slightly less if you use bread flour, which is high in protein).
It isn't different from the opposite determination in that sense. But the burden if proof is on the accuser (or at least it was, until recently), as expecting people proving a negative is often not feasible.
Indigenous people of South America chewed on coca leaves for 1000s of years. Then humans started processing it into cocaine. It became a problem then. We have effectively done the same thing to foods. Extracted the sugars and fats into refined form and combined them to create tasty but energy dense food with not much other nutrition.
I reached out to Mozilla, and they've confirmed that DoH is being enabled by default only for installations inside US.

Here are the specific independent claims of the patent 9,936,086 by Leigh M. Rothschild of Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC. Obviously, Shotwell does not violate this patent. Can you think of any prior art that might invalidate the patent? All elements must be present prior to 2008.

1. An image-capturing mobile device, comprising

a wireless receiver;

a wireless transmitter;

and a processor operably connected to the wireless receiver and the wireless transmitter, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a plurality of photographic images;

filter the plurality of photographic images using a transfer criteria wherein the transfer criteria is a subject identification of a respective photographic image within the plurality of photographic images,

wherein the subject identification is based on a topic, theme or individual shown in the respective photographic image;

and transmit, via the wireless transmitter and to a second mobile device, the filtered plurality of photographic images.

4. A method performed by an image-capturing mobile device, comprising:

receiving a plurality of photographic images;

filtering the plurality of photographic images using a transfer criteria wherein the transfer criteria is a subject identification of a respective photographic image within the plurality of photographic images,

wherein the subject identification is based on a topic, theme or individual shown in the respective photographic image;

and transmitting, via a wireless transmitter and to a second image capturing device, the filtered plurality of photographic images.

Imglorp posted elsewhere in this thread suggesting perhaps the Mars Viking spacecraft would serve as prior art which I thought was clever. The only challenge might be whether any spacecraft prior to 2008 had a "filter" function that had a "transfer criteria" of "subject identification" that was "based on a topic, theme or individual shown".

I think the final element of transmitting to a "second mobile device" or a "second image capturing device" would be met by any lander that relayed through an orbiter that also had a camera.

When my boss asks for estimates I break down the work into rough chunks and estimate a range for each chunk. Added up I might end up with an estimate of between 4 days to two weeks. I also explain my reasoning, telling him which factors that have the largest variance, either due to uncertainty or maybe which route we need to take depending on client wishes.

This is usually good enough for him to give a decent estimate to the clients for when they can expect fixes and features. Regardless of my estimates, not seldom other more important stuff comes up, pushing things a week or more.
I don't know why people concentrate on the amount of processing and de- and re-construction of food when it seems obvious that many foods are engineered to make them easy and compelling to consume in large quantities.

Ice cream is not heavily processed compared to the kind of protein bars that aspiring bodybuilders eat, but you can easily binge thousands of calories of ice cream in a single sitting. It's not so easy to binge protein bars, despite companies doing their chemical best to make them taste like candy.

Or compare those protein bars to the sweet, easy-to-eat bars (can't find brand names now) at Whole Foods that brag about having a small number of minimally processed ingredients. If you cram something full of honey or figs you can make it dangerously easy to feed your demons with while still being "natural" and "minimally processed." You won't see expensive bars sold to health-conscious well-off people implicated in the obesity epidemic, but that's a matter of class, not nutrition.

Why bother obsessing over abstract, ill-defined distinctions like "processed" or "ultraprocessed" instead of teaching people to recognize that companies are systematically and scientifically exploiting our human weaknesses for profit and ruining our health in the process? Educate people to look at a Snickers bar, or a bar full of honey and dried fruit from their fru-fru grocery store, and see a cold, calculated, predatory attack. Food companies attack the weaknesses in our eating behavior the way a lion seeks out the neck of a wildebeest. The lion doesn't specifically want the wildebeest to suffer and die; it just wants to eat its flesh. Likewise, Mars Inc. does not specifically want Americans to suffer from obesity and diabetes; it just wants to sell a lot of candy bars.

I suspect the obsession with these distinctions is motivated by the desire to find a positive story to address the obesity crisis with. Negative stories about food and eating are hard to sell to the public, who by and large (heh) just want to enjoy their food in an uncomplicated way. Not to mention that many people working in public health see them as a risk factor for eating disorders. Stigmatizing a category of food is a positive story because it promises us that once this subset of food is out of the picture, we can have an easy, healthy, uncomplicated relationship with food, without any need to address our own behavior. It locates the entire problem in a category of inanimate substances that can be purged from our world. It's a much happier story than saying we have desires and tendencies that don't always serve us, and that some of the most powerful forces in our society seem bent on making sure those desires and tendencies lead us to the worst possible place. But I suspect that eventually we'll have to face up to that, like we did with the tobacco industry, except that we'll have to accept the existence of the food industry and an indefinite, partly adversarial relationship with it.
I'm sure Nasa has been wirelessly sending images from mobile devices for decades.
> Uber’s goal is to be a driverless platform

Everyone keeps using this argument but I don't buy it. Uber itself hasn't once stated that this is their goal, not even to shareholders. When the company was founded in 2008 self driving cars weren't on anyone's radar. And it ignores the fact that if/when self driving cars become viable the entire "ridesharing" landscape will be instantly changed, and Uber will not have any inherent advantages over Google, Cruise, all the auto manufacturers and any other one of the 50+ companies currently in that space. Rather than connect riders and drivers they would have to buy and maintain vehicles in every city in the world.

Uber is currently, at best, keeping the self driving option open by putting some research dollars into it. The fact that they are betting the future of their company on it is just online speculation.

"Spiritual advisor", you say? As opposed to, say, "personal legal counsel"?

Or why hire a spiritual advisor if you're going to (apparently) ignore anything they have to say?
