> So what we need is to make meat a luxury item again and ban any and all mass production of meat. It basically amounts to torture anyway and the meat quality is somewhere near garbage.

How do you change meat to be luxury item in Russia, China, Brazil, and countries all over the world? If the people in one country decided to do it they can't legislate all of the other countries to do so.

Changing others is harder than changing yourself.
>Haïta told him all: how thrice he had met the radiant maid, and thrice she had left him forlorn. He related minutely all that had passed between them, omitting no word of what had been said.

> When he had ended, the holy hermit was a moment silent, then said: "My son, I have attended to thy story, and I know the maiden. I have myself seen her, as have many. Know, then, that her name, which she would not even permit thee to inquire, is Happiness. Thou saidst the truth to her, that she is capricious for she imposeth conditions that man can not fulfill, and delinquency is punished by desertion. She cometh only when unsought, and will not be questioned. One manifestation of curiosity, one sign of doubt, one expression of misgiving, and she is away! How long didst thou have her at any time before she fled?"

> "Only a single instant," answered Haïta, blushing with shame at the confession. "Each time I drove her away in one moment."

> "Unfortunate youth " said the holy hermit, "but for thine indiscretion thou mightst have had her for two."

How about "looks". Is it surprising to you that physical aspect can have consequences up to and including your employers no longer wanting to employ you?

Because what you said is such a broad generalization, that it feels "obviously true". But if you object to a person not being hired because she's black (although that's personally reasonable in some very limited circumstances) - then maybe you should object too for a person being dismissed on words completely unrelated to the work he was supposed to perform.
I don't know how much I'd attribute this to choosing programming later in life. At 5 I was building Lego technics and my sisters were playing with dolls, though they got as much Lego as I did and our parents very much encouraged us all to fiddle with electronics and tech.

My SO codes but hated anything girly from a very young age and was constantly told she wasn't acting ladylike.

Those experiences are from prior to encountering the effects from the rest of society. My SO was diagnosed with ASD as an adult but has had elevated testosterone levels found at a young age. So just personally it feels weird attributing those things to upbringing.

And Sweden where I am really shouldn't have as few women in tech as we do either if it was based on gender roles in upbringing.
That's provided your manager is available for anything save criticism when things go wrong. Generally in my experience, personal growth is the sole responsibility of the employee. The manager is purely an executioner to find and fire the bottom 5-10 percent of people, depending on how the company's doing.
I was looking for an excellent fleece to fit my needs, but I didn't want to spend big $$. I wasn't having any luck, so on a whim I splurged (a bit) and bought a fleece from one of the names listed above.

- I bought it from an outlet store so despite its high price it was still discounted

- It's incredibly well-made

- The "cut" of it is great, as in it fits my form really well

- Its pockets are deep

- It's warm

Zero regrets. It's absolutely one of my favorite clothing items and hopefully something I'll maintain for a long time.

NIH reveals its formula for tracking foreign influences
Youtube recently decided to change their requirements to become verified. They emailed existing verified users that they no longer meet these requirements and therefore will loose the "verified" status.

Completely insane.
I agree. Do you have a good set of alternative sources that you know aren't as dodgy? I used to use (and still do sometimes) ones like newegg, but I have no idea whether they're much better
yes, but calling something "partner" or affiliate" is not the same as calling "verified"
Probably, it only costs a couple of days to dismantle and measure and you get a very valuable source of confidence.

Of course, if the machinist messed up and made an angle outside of the allowed range that's probably a few years down the drain (but I expect he checked before putting it in, just not too closely)
Aspiring survivor of a stage 3 sarcoma here. I went through 8 months of treatment in 2016. I had no symptoms, no pain, NOTHING prior to being diagnosed. There was just a huge lump on my shoulder. The idea that I was about to willingly pump poison into my body and make myself sick when I felt perfectly fine was definitely hard to wrap my mind around. But, no question, it was the right thing to do. I'm married and have 2 young kids. Telling them I had cancer was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Thankfully, I live near one of the world's best hospitals and had amazing doctors and nurses. My treatment was in-patient and they kept me loaded full of fluids and anti-nausea meds. Yes, those 9 months were grueling, but they were bearable. I'm very fortunate. I've known others who've gone through much, much worse.
> it seems increasingly that Big Tech uses all their avenues to force conformity.

because these big tech companies are all dependent on advertising revenue, and thus converge to advertiser friendly behaviour.
100 years ago is right after first world war. The kids were dying a lot and what was acceptable back then would caused CPS calls on you. It is not merely "want" to keep up with legal standards. Moreover, the world back then was pretty violent and kids were violent or delinquent too, especially when looking at Europe. There was quite a lot of price to be paid for situation back then.

The areas with high unemployment and high social problems are perceived as undesirable places to live in for a reason. Of course I don't need to live in area with low alcoholism rates, low unemployment and low amount of social problems. But I want to live there for good reasons, namely better chance for me and my kids to not become unemployed and hopeless.

Next correlation: Increased risk of myopia linked to time spent on HN!
You see this phenomenon here on HN all the time. Find anybody asking a question or help to figure something out and the first couple answers will likely be "why are you doing it that way?", followed by almost completely useless advice to do something else entirely a completely different way.
And at what point did Stallamn ever say that "raping children" was ok? There are very few with that mindset and they certainly haven't shown themselves here so I don't understand why you highlight it other than to try and coerce others into joining the witch hunt.

What stallman pointed out was the inaccurate definition of a specific term and possibly wanting a fair and accurate description of the events of someone he knew. He's previously taken issue with inconsistency which could place and 17 year old in prison on their 18th birthday if they're already in a relationship with someone even born just a few days apart depending on which country they're in. He also stressed that placing Minsky at the same level as Epstien is wrong unless there's evidence Minsky was completely in on the deal (which there seems to be none as far as I'm aware).

The many other things seem to be lacking in evidence. The earlier point of women unwilling to report men in high positions just means a lack of evidence thus no justice can be had. It's the same as not reporting a robbery. Nobody can do anything if nobody knows it ever happened (outside of those involved).

I do agree that there should be some work within helping victims report without feeling as vulnrable to the point of keeping it to themselves but I don't think media outlash is the right tool for this. Nor do I think trying to socially hang those that comment on the topic is the right thing to do. All it does is prevent the much needed discussion around what the terms actually mean and if we can be more accurate in their definitiion to provide a better framework for dealing with such cases.

Thats exactly the answer though, more authoritative reviews. It's the same reason Rotten Tomatoes differentiates between a score and a top critics score. You can have a consumer reports score, and an amazon verified buyer score. Professional reviewers and aggregate buyer reviews.

Theres actually lots of wirecutter type sites for different things, however there are just as many sites that seem to praise EVERY product they list, and sometimes there can be hundreds of sites all saying the same thing. https://electricbikereview.com/ is one where I have trouble telling which ones he likes more than others, because he is so positive about every features. Mattress and credit card / financial review sites have spun up like the plague.

This is also one of the few places where I think the government could step in, where it currently isnt, and the Attorney General should run their own version of https://www.slant.co , wirecutter, consumer reports, yelp, better business bureau, https://thesweetsetup.com/picks/ etc. Some combination of government reliability and safety ratings, mixed with verified purchase reviews. It's a perfect place for the government to help cut through the paradox of choice and misleading or loud advertising, and help consumers find good products from the rough.

As far as restaurants go, even just a nice aggregation app would be nice that could pull together and normalize scores from yelp, facebook, google, trip adviser, foursquare, zomato, opentable, zagat. It would be really nice to be able to see which restaurants end up popular on which sites, how scores compare across sites, An additional benefit of aggregation would be, if the app can find "like reviewers" that you should follow, people who vote similarly to you.
A PhD will probably make your life more "interesting" in the Chinese proverb sense[0].

At least that's the impression I get from a lot of PhDs. I don't have one myself, and I used to regret that, but not anymore. PhD work is hard, thankless, underpaid work that has little to no value in industry. Although it does open up opportunities to even more hard, thankless, underpaid work in academia.

The one exception is Machine Learning. A PhD in ML can apparently get you paid millions in the industry.

But if you already consider 9 months a huge hurdle, consider what a hurdle 4 years will be.

You get that one can just write a thing to kick off instance-level CM if it doesn't exist, yeah? Like I don't know if it does for Pulumi because Pulumi doesn't seem to care much about trailing-edge systems--for now at least, it seems, they have a big enough market without having to stretch backwards--but it's not complicated; Terraform already has provisioners to do exactly that, so the pattern exists.
It can mean for example, that having CP on your PC although highly immoral, should not be punished by law,reserving that fate for distributors and especially creators. This is an arbitrary distinction by law and even if it can be considered a regrettable opinion, nobody should face any consequence for having it.

A similar argument is already in practice in many places where illegal drugs possession is not punished (up to certain limits) but drug production is. Or when offering prostitution is not punished but requesting it is. Mind I am not saying they are exactly the same, I only showing that legal distinction is arbitrary and people should be free to comment on it.

I had a similar thing happen to me over the weekend where I was reviewing studio light kits to brighten up my videos.

It lead down a path of an entire evening researching a bunch of lights, but finding a number of "worked great for 2 weeks but then the bulb died" type of reviews on kits that had generally decent average ratings.

Then I started thinking more about the bulbs, which lead to reading white papers about how long term exposure to CFL bulbs could potentially cause irreversible retina damage and other eye problems and now, not only do I not have lights, I'm not sure I even want them. LEDs also had their own set of eye issues, especially in the 5500k range (which is what most flattering light is set to).

"More interesting life". Not for you, from the sound of it. Yes, with a PhD you could do things you wouldn't get the chance to as an MSc. But those are things that you don't seem to enjoy -- reading papers, research. Some PhDs do write software, but more often (I think) they do the research and delegate the writing of any necessary software.

You don't want to do a PhD, you don't want to do the work that a PhD does, so why do it?

An MSc who is excited about his work is going to be far more useful and happy than an unmotivated PhD.

Source: I have a CS PhD, from many years ago. Like you, I preferred creating things. I was fortunate to be able to make the transition to industry. But I also saw contemporaries, with PhDs, who wanted to make that transition, but waited too long and were then unable to.
Well, boilerplate is a nuisance, but it is cheap. It’s not generally where your bugs are coming from (and certainly not your most insidious bugs)—they come from your complexity, especially your incidental complexity. In exchange, Go is a very easy language to learn, which is an important property for software development teams—you don’t need to restrict your hiring pool to candidates with experience in $language; you can train anyone to productivity in _days_. This is actual cost savings over a nebulous idea that boilerplate is evil. Anyway, Go needs generics and sum types and those two features get rid of 99% of boilerplate and still keep it below an order of magnitude of the complexity that you see in Java, C++, etc, so I don’t buy your argument that the extra features are a net positive value.
When I'm ready for criticism, usually after a failure or partial failure, I invite it. Sometimes I even run my plans by people, looking for problems.

But if I'm not actually inviting that criticism, it is neither welcome nor helpful.

See, what this post represents (and all these upvotes) is that there is a number of people who disagree with you and with "cancel culture". We do not believe in taboos as well: everything can be rationally debated and gut reactions are not only detrimental to the advancement of mankind, but is actually a very powerful "dumbficator" of science and logic. The people who should feel ashamed are those who spread this toxic culture of watching other's online comments in order to ban them from the rest of the "civilized world" (as these people generally put it), effectively hindering diversity; usually in the name of some social or ethnic minority. There is no defense to your shunning attitude and it is the very reason populists are winning governments the world over. Meanwhile, real abusers (eg. MIT staff who let the real abuse happen) were completely forgotten about because of this hysteria you people fomented. You're part of the problem you're trying to solve.

If sure you didn't intend it, but your tone "misguided", "if you are experiencing it for the first time..." is rather condescending.

Bear in mind there are many of us with many years in the online trenches who have reached the same conclusion - participation is one thing; giving over a huge part of your time and energy is more questionable.

Also the idea that people do it out of an altruistic need to help may be true in some cases but neglects the significant motivation of validation, the need to feel noticed and appreciated through upvotes and other reputation buzzes, and the following increase in "power" and "status", which isn't so obviously positive and healthy.
Fairly blind question: does Erlang|Elixir and BEAM make any sense in a pseudo-embedded, edge compute or IoT environment with constrained resources (CPU and memory), or even ARM architecture? Aside from the developer-side things, if AMQP were to the centralized communications hub (e.g. RabbitMQ) does using Nerves on devices make any performance benefit - meaning BEAM and app(s) there?

The intent would be pre-process data and stream inward, or simply be a command-and-control interface -> process and provide response.

I beg to differ. For example Enemy of the State which dealt with aerial surveillance was released 21 years ago.

Predator drones were deployed in the middle east in 2000 but were in use from 1995 in the Balkans. Quadcopters are new though.

Programmers, among others, are notoriously unable to give up on arguments. What makes you think discussion would help someone refine inquiries into a question rather than just an endless tribal war or bikeshedding session?

Additionally, I can't imagine any format less friendly to a beginner/intermediate programmer than an endless thread of experts arguing minutiae and holy-wars couched as objective fact. Even as an advanced user, sometimes I want a straight and to the point answer, even if it's not the best possible one, so I can get on with my work or research from there.

Remember, SE is foremost a site for readers seeking existent answers. Not askers. Not answerers. Neither of those last two groups has dwindled substantially enough in response to askers/answerers complaints to impact the experience of users seeking existent answers. Therefore, in my opinion, SE still works well.

Thanks for your response. Sure, the level of hype is rather high for DL.

That said, I also lived through and worked through the level of hype around expert systems. I think the high level of hype around expert systems in the 1980s was much more extreme and unwarranted that the DL hype levels. I base this on selling expert system tools for both Xerox Lisp Machines and for the Macintosh when it was released in 1984. Some of my customers did cool and useful things, but nothing earth shaking.

At least DL provides very strong engineering results for some types of problems.
