Another downside it that they have the potential to turn people away, because they don't even resemble what someone is expecting. For example, calling fried jackfruit "fried chicken". Fried jackfruit is delicious on it's own merit, but it doesn't even come close to a fried chicken substitute. And if I order vegan fried chicken, anything can be the chicken substitute, but I bet it won't be as good as fried jackfruit if it's not fried jackfruit. I'd rather they just call it what it really is, and if it's tasty, it will be memorable.
The only feasible way to avoid sharing data with Google is using a custom ROM like LineageOS, a Google framework replacement like microG, and XPrivacyLua (module for XPosed). Ideally you'd avoid using any Google services at all, but at least these steps largely prevent Google from freely taking whatever data they want if you do use the Play Store or whatever.

Hah! That's a good thing! As for VC vs. Bootstrap - our five founders all worked together previously at a company that raised VC funds and while they weren't made millionaires from that company, it did give them enough cushion to go without salary for a bit. Originally it wasn't supposed to be 2 years though, so when it started to drag out there were definitely some...uncomfortable times, but they pulled through them. That's not say that we HATE the VC model - it definitely works for a lot of companies out here, but there is something nice about being able to choose your own adventure.

I don't think that's true at all.

You can make great dishes with tofu, seitan and tempeh, where some cultures have been cooking with these for a long time (tofu goes back 2000 years).

Medicare, for example, has the _lowest_ administrative costs of any insurance. You have no idea how much profit is taken by private insurers. That does not exist as a problem for Medicare.

Then, take the case of the misnamed Medicare Advantage, which are plans pushed by private insurers at a much higher rate of pay than Medicare pays. It's a scam. Had it not been allowed to piggyback on the name "Medicare", nobody would buy those plans.

Yes, I agree with your humanitarian concern for people. That’s my point. Sanctions have hardly ever worked, but often led to far worse outcomes. The Versailles treaty is probably one of the biggest examples.

The tool should NOT be sanctions and economic isolation. It should be empowering the people on the ground, so they can build humanitarian institutions that can put a check on the government. The problem in China right now is all those institutions are being systematically dismantled. Human rights are the issue, for sure.

But remember, calling someone a dictator is very one sided. You live in the USA so you don’t get to see what USA does around the world. Mainstream media keeps quiet about it. No country is such a great “leader” which is why if we could I would argue for MORE globalism and LESS nationalism. I would want an international police force to replace all national armies, and its only job would be to de-escalate all world conflicts and force everyone to resolve conflicts through diplomacy or courts. There would need to be tons of safeguards in place to make sure we don’t concentrate power even further in the administrators of this international police force. That last part is the architectural problem. But if we don’t solve it, we will always have pockets of terrible human rights violations in sovereign countries. To nationalists — you have to care more about the sovereignty of a country’s government than human rights, every time. Caste rapes in India? Bride killings? Uyghurs in China? Bolsonaro wants to decimate the native population and chop down the rainforest for soy? Duterte killing people? Gotta stay out.

Hey I know let’s put some sanctions on it! That oughtta fix things. Eventually.

So... when will someone put sanctions on the US for Iraq or any other regime change war? Oh now we get the real rules on this level... might makes right. Well, instead of sanctions and trusting ONE country to be world police, I’d rather have more globalism, not less. But a benign kind — promoting conflict resolution and coordinating collective action solutions to global crises by design. Like making every country implement a carbon tax and dividend, to their own people, and then have corporations buy carbon credits from this fund, which would pay out to developing nations and others for reforestation and healing ecosystems (as verified from space).

What good is nationalism if we consume all the resources and make the planet hardly inhabitable? That’s the biggest question of all. What good are your national sovereignty principles when Mexico City runs out of water or Honduras and many African countries are emptied of its inhabitants due to drought?
Awesome! :-)
> It really feels like democracy is slowly dying all over the world.

If it seems that way, it's because we've stopped fighting for it. Any regime without some basic level of true democratic representation and civil liberties should be the subject of official embargoes and individual boycotts. Unfortunately, many have sold out democracy to please the all-important shareholders or just to take advantage of cheap stuff.
It is no surprise that the benchmarks on the LuaJIT website are going to show it ahead of PUC-Lua, is it? In truth the performance comparison is a bit more complicated than that. :)

For a pure Lua comparison LuaJIT is typically going to beat Lua by a large margin. For code that can be JIT compiled you might see ~10x performance improvements and for code that doesn't you might still see around a ~2x improvement because the LuaJIT interpreter is written in hand-crafted assembly language (PUC-Lua sticks to portable and standards-compliant C90).

But things get a bit more complicated if you add foreign C code into the mix. Under LuaJIT, the JIT compiled code that uses the LuaJIT FFI interface is the fastest, but interpreted code using the FFI is slower than interpreted code using the traditional Lua-C interface, and can even be slower than PUC-Lua using the traditional Lua-C interface. This means that when you are using LuaJIT you need to be very careful to make sure that your code is the sort of code that can be JIT compiled. If you hit a "not yet implemented" feature you can have a big performance degradation.

------

Nevertheless, Lua 5.4 has brought significant performance improvements compared to Lua 5.3, specially in integer operations (including for loops). Another big change was that the `#` is now faster. For example, on my machine the following loop runs in 1.96 seconds in Lua 5.3, in 1.26 seconds under LuaJIT, and in 0.96 seconds in Lua 5.4

local a = {}
for i = 1, 1e7 do
a[#a +1] = i
end
print(#a)

The new generational garbage collector is also a very big improvement. I've measured a 1.5x speedup on some GC-dominated workloads, where the final result was that Lua 5.4 would even edge out LuaJIT, which is still using the old incremental collector.

What I'm about to say is a criticism of you, but please don't take it personally. It's also a criticism of me, because my day job is essentially the same as yours.

In general terms, almost everything you and I do is either a CRUD app, or something overcomplicated which would be better-implemented as a CRUD app. There's not technological advancement happening here. And usually you're not even doing a new CRUD app, you're just reimplementing an earlier CRUD app with better CSS and JS and a different marketing team to tout it. IF there's an innovation in your company it's not the CRUD app developer who's innovating. We're just reimplementing the wheel over and over, because the other wheel implementations are closed source and owned by a competitor.

If you want to innovate, you have to take on harder problems that aren't CRUD apps. That's where languages like Haskell shine. Haskell doesn't shine because it's better, it shines because it's different, and suited for different tasks. The tasks for which Haskell is suited haven't been saturated yet, so there's still room for innovating on the technical side of things.

So yeah, I can't show you how to do what you do with Haskell--the reason you'd want to use Haskell in the first place is to do something different from what you (and most other developers, myself included) are doing. The reason you'd want to write Haskell is to solve technical problems which haven't already been solved.

You're right to bring up binary search trees and linked lists as criticisms of the Haskell community, because those are also pretty solved areas: touting binary search and linked lists as the powers of Haskell completely undersells Haskell. Haskell learning materials fall into two basic categories: complete beginner stuff, and Ph.D. theses written in an alien language. This is, unfortunately, part of why there's any innovation to be had here: having very little mid-level learning material creates a barrier for entry that keeps people from reaching a level where they could innovate. The same is true for the communities of many less-widely-used languages.

This has been a rather cynical post, I realize. I'm not sure there's any recommendations here: I'm certainly not going all-in on learning Haskell and using it to innovate, myself. CRUD apps pay the bills and innovation is risky. I find interest and novelty in other areas of my life.
Correct! Apple isn't surprised by the actions China took to get to this point. They've had their chances to stop, complain, and fight.

> that this is kept in check and that the system is not extended later to centralise all this data.

As already explained the data come from passports. All of the data in passports (and ID cards since this is in France), including pictures, is already centralised in a government database. After all you gave the picture to the government when you applied for a passport...

This is also why this new system is completely neutral.

I don’t think it’s fair to expect an English-language, western-focused website to cover India. I doubt the average Westerner could name more than a city or two in India to begin with.

Even then, I am skeptical as to the claim that contemporary western veganism, as a cultural phenomenon, is traceable to India. I would attribute it more to developments in western ethics and growing awareness of the realities of the meat production economy, combined with left-wing culture and politics in general.

Not OP, but probably just the dictionary definition of the word "exploit", to use a resource for one's own benefit. If there are business models that cannot function without this particular resource, what will become of them?

They aren't paying "higher than local average" out of the goodness of their hearts. If they were, shareholders wouldn't be too happy.
Actually rendering is something that would be better suited for client side. You can cut down on message sizes if you just fetch JSON and a small templating engine.

Thts the thing I just can't compare vegetarian food with meat food they are two different things. Sometimes I will eat the meat burger sometimes a veggie pattie just depends on what I am in the mood for.
I am vegan for half a year. Before that I ate 500+ gr of meat on most day (classic bodybuilding chicken breasts, whey, eggs, vegetables, oats, rice, etc. "clean diet"...).
When I started on the vegan diet I was afraid that it would not be tasteful and will be bland and boring. But 6 months on and I am still amazed by how with very little imagination in the kitchen I come out with very very tasteful recepies and dishes which are healthy and are 95% whole food based with minimal processing by myself.
Now, regarding processed vege-meat things like beyond burger.. I bought it to use it only for big barbeques when there are alot of people. Not to avoid vegan talk, if anybody is interested I am open to talk about it, but it is just so much easier for barbeques.
I do prepare homemade vege burgers at home, but they need greater care in handling (can crumble more easily) so I use beyond for only this purpose.
People get paid more, products cost more, people consume proportionally less and expect their products to last more than six months.

That's the "freshman's dream" of additive manufacturing. In reality, additive manufacturing is often more labor intensive than conventional manufacturing, particularly if you're building multiple items or are using the process where it doesn't make sense.

The "minimal human intervention" thing is just not true.

It's nice to not have to make tooling. But post-processing is super labor-intensive. Often post-machining is also needed. And certification of additive parts for aerospace is a nightmare.
Fair enough - a law is overkill.

The issue I have is that phones and tablets are slowly replacing general purpose computers for the majority of people (at least for day to day use), and there's a fundamental difference in how they operate when it comes to software freedom.

Apple can't be considered a monopoly because there's still a choice of Android, but what happens in the future if the ability to sideload applications on Android phones is removed?

We end up in a scenario where every application must be funneled through an app store where the hardware manufacturer can take a cut of the sales, and I'm not okay with that.
>The complaint goes beyond Apple and iPhone, Android does a better job of pretending you own the phone but all that really means is Google owns you instead of Apple. The problem is political not technological, all the common person can do is bitch and moan about it.

Isn't the answer to that just buy an easily rootable phone and flash an OS without spyware? There's a few manufacturers out there with official unlock tools and presumably supporting that practice would only lead to more adoption. (although, admittedly, this does require the hardware to not have spyware or backdoors built into it)

Almost all studies about vegetarianism are born of an agenda to promote vegetarianism.

To a meat eater, studying the effects of eating an all vegetable diet is the same as studying the effects of walking backwards everywhere you go: it's not something we'd ever consider doing so we see no value in studying the effects of doing it. Furthermore, meat eaters do not care if other people don't want to eat meat. As such, most of the people conducting studies about vegetarianism are people who think eating meat is immoral. Their motivation to conduct the study is to stop other people from eating meat.
Do many people really say "I could care less" instead of "couldn't"? I've never heard anyone say it, and the few times I've seen it used online the perpetrator has rightly been rounded upon.

If people do, what similar turns of phrase would they likewise mangle? "Well done son, I could be more proud", or "I'm completely thrilled, I could be happier", or "I'm at rock bottom, things could be worse".

You are probabaly a remainer, as am I, but you are using a remainer's justification for a re-run. And pretending leavers believe this. They generally don't.

Where do you think supermarkets get food ?

This is the disconnect so many people have.
Possibly because ingredient costs are only a small part of a restaurant's expenses. Staff, rent, utilities, cleaning, etc. make up such a huge part that the food prices can be set primarily in terms of demand.

The price of inputs sets a floor on what they can charge, but even if a veggie patty cost twice as much as a beef patty, that would be $.30 rather than $.15. That doesn't justify a cost difference of $4 versus $3 in a fast food place, or $18 versus $15 in a sit-down restaurant.

Lots of issues come into play, but I suspect the biggest factor is simply that the restaurant owner believes that the vegetarians self-select to spend more. And they may well be right about it, at least for now. At one time, meats were seen as a luxury (as was dining out), and if vegetarian options become popular, meat eaters insisting on "real meat" may be the ones paying a premium.
