The point was we can live long and healthy lives by going to the supermarket and buying non-meat food. We can survive now without making animals needlessly suffer (including paying others to kill animals on our behalf).

Some carnivorous wild animals have no choice but to hunt and eat prey alive to survive. We have a choice.
I've been on a vegan diet the last 11 years. Starting while still living with my parents at 17, it forced me to try new foods and get better at cooking. Before I was mostly on a junk diet of fast food and frozen meals before changing my diet. I lost some weight and felt my energy levels increase. I mostly attribute this to having to skip on most fast food and sweets.

During the initial few years I ate a lot of meat and dairy replacements along with accidentally vegan junk food like oreos and the purple bag doritos. But around the 4 yr mark this stuff kinda lost its allure - too processed and artificial tasting (imo) to be foods I eat frequently.

The staples I landed on are just basic food: tofu, beans, rice, bread, noodles, vegetables, and fruit. I found not trying to reproduce American food improved my diet, was cheaper, and easier to share with people who don't follow a vegan diet. A vegetable curry is a lot easier to sell to someone you're sharing dinner with than something with a bunch of meat/dairy replacements. And it just tastes better.

I'll mix it up and have fake meat sometimes or indulge in junk like candy or chips. But my point is following a vegan diet is quite easy once you adjust your staples a bit. Also just go easy on yourself, if you're eating out the bread might have a little whey in it but I personally think that's okay. I'd rather just eat that than make it difficult for the people I'm dining with or to bug the server to go check. Eating 95% vegan for a lifetime is clearly better than burning out. This was a lesson that took a few years to learn as I was a pretty annoying vegan the first few years when I was in my teens/early 20's.
ATS language. It compiles to C and I believe I have seen even that experimentally some kernel module was developped in it.

Here some resources:

I do not program in ATS because I am not doing anything that needs to be as efficient, so that I have the luxury to enjoy programming and learning Haskell, in the hope that by the time when I would need to write some super secure and performant program that has to run without interruption, and is used by more users than myself, well, I hope that by that time Haskell will evolve enough to allow me to write such a program. Otherwise I might end up using ATS, though honestly the syntax is so ugly.

Why would you assume it's optional? In which popular programming language do parentheses mean "this is optional"? When you read a formula such as

(x + 1) / 2

do you assume part of it is optional?
>alleges that the OHSU clinic used his 1989 sperm donation to father at least 17 children—some who live in his area—despite him making an agreement with the clinic at the time that his sperm would be used for no more than five children, all born to women living out of the state.

The thing is, the ban will stay in force long after the protests are over, so that participants of peaceful assemblies can be fired from their jobs or banned from China (if they're foreigners).
>China had a century of occupation and decades of civil war

Plus millennia of a very rich civilization, for the majority of which it was the richest economy in the world, a lot more advanced than the cruder rest of the world, and with a very intricate society and culture.

Well, the US had slavery until the mid 19th century, Jim Crow until the 40s, and segregation until the 70s, so there's that.

Saudi Arabia has money and oil. America likes oil and money. It's been as simple as that since the bitter Lake conference. Why else would a country that claims to have gone to war to create a representative democracy and destroy an unrepresentative monarchy be the best of friends with one of the most unrepresentative monarchies in the modern world? Can you think of another country named after a dude? Or, excuse me, a dude's family? (All respect to Abdulaziz, lord knows the Saudis could strike me down in the banana republic I live in).
Part of demystifying IPv6 was that in practice the most significant 64 bits are the limiting factor. It helped me to put more manageable numbers on things.

Each ISP can have 65k customers who are big orgs with complex site needs and a /48, or 4 billion small customers getting a bundle of individual networks on their /56.

In the latter, each has address space for, say, 256 VLANs which allows network isolation of many internet enabled fridges.

And in theory the current scheme allows for 16 million ISPs to exist, though in practice not all the address space is available.
In the context of China's facial recognition capabilities, social credit score, and general ability to make people it doesn't like disappear, to me it's a lot more than just a face mask ban.

I only linked to the site as a response to the above poster, who was comparing Europe to America. If you have an issue with the title of the post I linked to, take it up with the author. Otherwise, this is a pointless pedantic argument that has nothing to do with the original reason I linked to the article.
In all my time in academia, in my discipline (cross between engineering and physics), I never heard anyone try to replicate a study. No advisor would allow students to "waste" time on it.

They were also pretty open in vocalizing that they didn't believe the result in paper X in journal Y. They knew the problem existed.
Now try to force Americans survive in the abysmal living conditions of the average Londoner. That city is absurdly overregulated, and expensive as hell.
What was wrong with US's response to 9/11 attacks?

Tunnel vision, moral and patriotic grandstanding, group think, not thinking about the long term consequences of actions.

Yes, Saddam Hussein was evil, but the consequences of removing him were much more dire and opened up pandora's box.

Yes, what Saudi Arabia did was gruesome, but if you respond by cutting them off totally, they will ally with China. You lose the entire region, your leverage on oil production in the middle east. You make your rivals stronger. Is that reaction proportional with the action?

Is this one incident, which is not like Saudi Arabia didnt get massive blowback for, worth the long term consequences?

Where is the media commentary which is more pragmatic and willing to look at things two steps down, a decade from now?

Which media outlets actually present the question in that format. Nobody has learnt anything from the previous problems. People are still easy to manipulate, and the media still lacks any kind of long term thinking.
>If that's correct, how is that not cruel? Animals don't want to die

The animal will die regardless. The Native Americans would honor the animal and thank its spirit for the life force.

To me that seems quite ethical.
Not really, PHP is used on 80% of the web. I know, some of it are API-s, but it's still huge. PHP is SSR by design.

What happened is they changed a bunch of things about the protocol because they thought it would be a very forced adoption. Instead, it caused lagging adoption because of all the changes.

If IPv6 was just IPv4 with extra addresses, the adoption rate would have been very quick.
I'm not saying Lisps are unique in this regard, but I am saying that complaints that I see in today's HN discussion most likely stem from lack of exposure to that kind of programming. In the mainstream world, "language" and "compiler" are products. In Lisp world, they're no different than functions and classes.

Out of language families providing this level of capability, Lisps are probably closest to mainstream, and that's because of Clojure.
A while ago Google got bad press because some image-tagging service identified some people as "gorillas", and IIRC it was blamed on not having enough diversity of skin color in the training data. So... it sounds like at least the "instructed them to target people of color" part of this is them trying to correct that. But in isolation that sounds even worse than the first instance. I guess you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It can be justified in the context of hiring that person keeps that knowledge resource from competitors. Then it makes a lot of sense to pay them enough to stay, as it allows you to outpace competition in the marketplace.
Exactly. The post I argued against didn't provide any information about base rates, so it was not the kind of argument from popularity that you're describing. A lot of people write English. You can always find someone who screws it up in some way or another. Pointing out these screwups is not an argument that the screwup consists of a consensus language change.

So the government and BBC being (unfairly perhaps) pro-remain is a reason to vote leave? Yes, you can argue "both sides were unfair". But one side was unfair by lying, the other was unfair by using their position of power to spread correct (but favorable to them) information. Not the same kind of unfair at all.
Cool. What is the source of price predictions? Is the model open source?

I'm not. This has nothing to do with national origin. I explicitly said the presumption is based on having been raised in a democracy and therefore having been exposed to enlightened views.

I eat them more as an affordance to other people. They're rarely my first choice, but if I'm eating with someone else and they've cooked or we're in a non-vegan restaurant then that might be my only available option.

Another reason is junk food. It's definitely harder to eat unhealthy food being a vegan, but sometimes you want to. I know places where I can go and eat a vegan burger for example, the type that is really greasy and slimy and disgusting. I don't go there often, but if I get that urge then it's nice to know that I can.
I have no clue how a country can have billions of debt and not be declared bankrupt or (at least) go through major cost-saving reforms. Many (most? all?) countries have massive amounts of debt but apparently there isn't anyone who isn't getting paid (given the amount of debt countries have, everyone should have an uncle that is still owed $100k or so by their government, but I don't know anyone that works for the government and doesn't get paid, so apparently it's not that kind of debt). I don't get it, but I'm not surprised that we have a huge amount.
I'm in exactly the same position as you. I was overwhelmed with building web applications (coming from a self taught design and then web development background). I found Meteor and quickly started building increasingly complex applications (without having to learn things like webpack etc).

Now, a good few years later I'm a full stack developer with a great job building some really cool and cutting edge software. I've learned all the things that Meteor did for me, but I wouldn't have got here without it.

I really think that with the right decisions, Meteor can rise to be a top tier JS framework. Very hopeful to see where it goes.
Ooh, 2advanced - as a high-school kid, I must have starred at versions of their "website" for more than 15h in total, in awe, and trying to soak in the pure awesomeness, hoping that it would affect how good early versions of my site will turn out :) Where "my site" was approx 200h of work over something like 15 revisions and complete redo's for a "portfolio" site with 1 design in it :D Good times - I think my parents would have preferred if I just hang out outside and did drugs at that point :D
> This strikes me as the ethically best possible way to collect this data

"a contracting agency named Randstad sent teams to Atlanta explicitly to target homeless people and those with dark skin, often without saying they were working for Google, and without letting on that they were actually recording people’s faces"

How can this be the most ethical way to collect data?

The problem isn't in acquiring facial recognition data from homeless people, but in mischaracterising the nature of the experiment when doing so. If the reporting is accurate, they lied to vulnerable people and tricked them into selling their data for cheap.

Companies can't go around hustling people into giving away their private information. It doesn't matter if you think this is "for their own good", a homeless person may want to refuse being catalogued by Google for a variety of reasons.
$5 isn't much. Why not post here a picture and 3d scan of your face as a token of good will?

It could help some start-ups that need such a face for demo purposes or other experiments.
Could you explain how the need for two mutations refutes the idea of an adaptive walk? The elife article just seems to suggest that walk may have been a more complex process.

Apparently the majority of the carbohydrates and nutrients have been removed too, probably not tasty without the pesticide zest.
Trying to offer "bridge" foods that are vegetable versions of normal dishes doesn't help. It never is as good, at best it's "yeah...its OK." So you have only re-enforced the idea that vegetarian food will never be quiet as good as the "real thing".

On the off chance it is exactly like the meat its pretending to be then all your saying is "See? All you have to do is spend more for exactly the same thing!"

I might try a "Quenwopper" bowl for 9 bucks if they offered it at BK. I'm not spending 9 bucks on a burger who's entire selling point is that it tastes exactly like the cheaper burger.
> I would happily sell anyone a picture or scan of my face for $5. But I even more happily have that chance go to someone who needs it more than myself.

Would you really? My gut feeling tells me that's not the case for most people for privacy or ethical reasons. Just because those people are poor, we expect them to have lower privacy or ethical standards.

The link you posted has the following example, I think you're referring to that

> BBH Labs was an exception – they outfitted 13 homeless volunteers with WiFi hotspots and asked them to offer WiFi to SXSW attendees in exchange for donations. In return, they would be paid $20 a day plus whatever attendees gave in donations.

That's completely different. Offering Wifi has zero long term effects. It's providing people with a "business opportunity" that wouldn't have access to it otherwise. Giving someone 5 bucks for their face picture (or other biometrics) is totally different and has long term negative effects.
Black Holes as we know them may not exist
It seems like he feels responsible for the ones he's met. They're no longer strangers. What would it be like for them to fall on hard times? He might be feeling the need to help them proactively, perhaps by putting them through college, and this is something he might need money from the lawsuit in order to do.
I don't argue that iPhone was revolutionary although I think it was way less revolutionary than average consumer thinks. I argue with very specific claim. OP have claimed that "being able to use a browser anywhere was the killer feature" and it is just not true because most of the market could do it. All symbian, blackberry and Windows Mobile phones could do it.

>Did you forget large touchscreen, no physical buttons and no need for stylus?

iPhones did have physical home button and O2 XDA II from 2003 has the same touchscreens size as original iPhone. Also you are forgetting that first capacitive touchscreens were awful. Qwerty keyboard or resistive touchscreen were just nicer to use. And you didn't have to use stylus. Most people who I know used stylus in few very specific applications and they just use finger for most tasks but to be fair you had to be very precise.

I don't really understand what would Google's motive be. They're already paying 5$, and I highly doubt they'd have a hard time finding people rushing to give away 5m of their time and their face for 5$ (people outside of HN are far less techno paranoid).

To me, it just sounds like the contractor tried to get done with it asap and just half-assed the work.
The US is not dependent on middle eastern oil any more.

Let them ally, tell them “have fun with that”

Same goes to any other middle eastern allies with troubling policies who we have unwavering support for. “We disagree with how you treat some human beings, have fun with Russia!” “Why havent you just been issuing debt on the international markets to fund your defense programs like the rest of us? Have fun destabilizing your whole economy, thats life!”
But then who tunes that optimizer?
Most ordinary Russians in large cities still live in very cramped conditions with multiple families sharing a 3-bedroom apartment. I've visited such an apartment that my friend was living in, in the suburbs of Moscow. All the rooms became bedrooms due to lack of space in the evening, no such thing as a living room etc.

Maybe you think it'd be fun to plug your info into Ancestry.com and see what they've got. You've got a decent life, you're living on a fixed income, but you're able to manage just fine. But you ping Ancestry, and they find you've got a gigantic family tree of relatives who you never knew about. Maybe you don't have any interest in meeting these people, but Ancestry.com sure sees some value in those connections. Maybe they strike a deal with an insurance data broker, and now this broker knows about your relatives as-well. Maybe you've got a genetic history of heart disease, a rare form of cancer, or some other medical condition which leaves you predisposed to being a high-risk candidate for some expensive medical bills in the next few years. So your insurance carrier drops you, or raises those rates to an exorbitant rate that you, on your fixed income, can no longer support. So you drop your coverage, but you get sick. Now you've got some enormous medical bills you can no longer pay for, and a rent bill you're delinquent on as-well. You're unable to get new medical coverage, because the pre-existing conditions laws have since lapsed, and all the major insurance carriers subscribe to the same data that that data-broker provided anyway, so you're likely to find similar insurance prices no matter where you go. So now you've got a medical condition you can't pay for, an apartment that's about to kick you to the curb, and few options to pay for either health or home. But hey -- cool family tree!
