Are any sane people suggesting that meat is bad for tigers that eat it? Or that vegetables are bad for cows?

Then why are people trying to force the issue that meat is bad for omnivores such as humans? Meat isn’t bad for humans any more than any other food has the potential to be bad.

If meat is bad for humans, that means they should die sooner right? And thus a dead human has not much of a carbon footprint. So humans dying sooner actually benefits the climate. Ergo, eating cows is actually better for the climate because they help humans die faster.

Some socialist anti-cow climate nut job doesn’t actually care about my health anyway. I am a married white male libertarian with children, two cars, flies airplanes and watches baseball and likes to eat grilled meats — I am the last person these crusaders wants to be alive. So why would I trust politically oriented “studies” that contradict hundreds of thousands of years of human dietary history? Since when have the veganistas actually cared about human health? That whole crowd crows about over-population, yet they’re going to suddenly start caring about the health of someone eating meat?

This is religion. Some out-group is “going to hell” if they don’t do <required arbitrary activity> desired by the group. We all must repent our climate-displeasing ways or the world will be destroyed by a vengeful God/climate/earth. Most climate activists have probably never read the Old Testament, but they seem to be following the spirit of it pretty well.
“whose parents filed taxes.“

As an outsider to the American tax system: is this a strong selection that could impact results? Here in Germany for example filing is optional for a lot of people (not just legally, but also in terms of expected returns) which would have quite unpredictable results on a study like this.
That would be uncommon in my experience. Investors won't get the difference between the current and the last valuation as a liquidation preference, they'll typically demand one as high as their investment. Understandably, they don't want to throw in a million, get 20% of the company only to have the company disband and receive 20% of the $1m back.

The $5m won't come from a $3m investment, though. They'll take 20% for $1m, leading to a $5m valuation. And I don't know anyone that would give them a $3m liquidation preference in that deal. If your cash-on-paper (that is: shares vs total valuation) share doesn't grow in a round, that's a good time to think about getting out. If they were valued at $5m and are seeking investments valuing the company at $2m, run.

Yes, investors aren't throwing money around like they maybe used to, but I don't believe there's reason to be overly pessimistic. If the company becomes successful, you'll make money if you've been on board early enough (that is: if you took on risk).
Can you help me understand your comment? I can't tell if your making a connection between conservative and entrenched.
None of these were super convincing. I did however eventually get around to watching a bunch of Joe Ingram's content and a stream last night, now I'm more convinced. One hand that had me convinced more than any here was a board that was 899T and forgot the fourth card (inconsequential). Anyhow, Postle has 8s full and on the river, instead of check-raising leading with a feeler bet, or any other kind of action you'd expect when you have 3rd nuts but a monster, he simply check folds. No way any normally aggro player actually check folds a boat in a cash game.

Also, Postle's mannerisms and interviews are the most damning IMO. He's arrogant, cocky and can't explain any of his lines, not to mention has said some questionable things that actually suggest cheating.

Reading this thread at first I thought maybe he was a Victor Blom kind of character; loose aggro playing against passive amateurs (shoving 54 would give that impression). But no, he's a fucking moron who basically is giving himself away by folding monster hands or playing weak hands strongly post-flop then needling opponents and bragging about it in interviews.
Yeah, I did the math on backups and it doesn't make sense. I had a terrabyte or so of my Blue-Ray backups and even using Glacier it was enough to just buy a digital movie every month or so. Now I probably have 5-10 terrabytes in digital products.

Just checked prices again and it's at $4 a month for a terrabyte, which is less, but I'd still just rather rent/buy than pay for backups.
Well, they'd only have to do one major transition, to Obj-C/Cocoa and for that the writing was on the wall for 20 years (and official for 15 years) and everything would have been much smoother.

Had he used Cocoa, the rest, would have been trivial (to x86, to 64 bit, etc).

Or he could use whatever they like (C++, Pascal, what have you), and have their own UI/compatibility layer between OSes, like Adobe for example does (and several others, big and small: Sublime Text is an one man shop, and they make their own UI just fine).

The first response in the thread is not far off:

The people I hear complaining about this are those who, like you, didn't move to Cocoa. Carbon was a _temporary_ transition API*. It was necessary when Mac OS X shipped in March 2001, but even though it wasn't yet formally deprecated, it was clear it would be. The Carbon UI frameworks were deprecated circa, um, 2006(?). QuickTime has been deprecated nearly as long. 64-bit systems shipped in the mid-2000s, even before the x86 transition, and it was obvious then that 32-bit would eventually go away.

Eighteen years is _forever_ in the tech industry. At the time Cocoa was
introduced, the Mac itself hadn't even been around that long!

It sounds like keeping an app limping along on 30-year-old APIs, and then
suddenly trying to move it forwards all at once, is a bad idea. By comparison, keeping a Cocoa app up to date isn't that big a deal. I was maintaining Cocoa apps during the 64-bit, x86 and ARC transitions and had to make very few code changes. I've been out of the UI world for about 8 years, and there have definitely been significant changes in areas like view layout and document handling, but adapting to those isn't rocket science.

Yes, Microsoft is rather fanatical about compatibility. But that's part of what lost them their lead after the '90s: the amount of development resources needed to keep everything working exactly the same, and the difficulty of making forward progress without breaking any apps.

Share HN: My thoughts today about the internet
The internet used to be fun, because the people who programmed for it loved it, and respected it. It provided a playground for the imagination, if not in the literal sense of the painterly <area> tag, then in being inspired by our possibilities to enrich our culture, our individual self-expressivity, and to develop understanding and love through knowledge and experience sharing. But we, all of us, not just the masses and not just (converted) hackers and not just suits, but the average as a unit, turned away from the beautiful internet, to something very bland, much less diverse, but indeed more moldable to certain things. You could say the old internet was a rich man’s play toy, it’s beauty and funness (to me for one) allowed only because it was so privileged. There were few people on it and those people could afford good hardware. But the history of the internet for the last 20 years, has been an ever-intensifying desire to scale, further and in more directions. To become ACCESSIBLE to a wider audience (while increasingly ignoring the people on its fringes), while, yes, also making everyone it’s customer. And so maybe we should come to grips with the fact we shouldn’t mourn our old internet, because the truth is this painterly vision was not designed, or ready, or our schools not prepared enough, or our cpus not performant enough, or our wealth not distributed enough, for the internet to be libre for all. And those of us that still have some kind of poetic aspirations for the way we connect with each other, should put that energy into sharing with the world.

EDIT: what does the internet mean to you?
What are the advantages of this vs something like firestore?

I really like some of the teachings in Bhagavat Gita. It is a treasure trove of wisdom to be cherished. I need to point though that a group of extremists justified Muslim massacres because karma (Gujarat 2002). I'm curious how does one fight and argue effectively against such interpretations that cause turmoil and conflict due to a abhorrent nihilistic view of the text which seems valid on its face value but undermines peace and tranquility and most certainly doesn't deal justice to the innocents in its cross-hairs.
He didn't publish a replicable study, he just said the risk is acceptable.
It is required in the states but could potentially limit results to include less low income/unemployed individuals. Almost any job will withhold income tax and send it off to the government without you doing anything.
If the study were funded by vegan groups or environmental groups would it be more credible? Or course not.
This real life example I am sure will help:

My teacher wanted to buy a car and he needed help on choosing; he wanted a "good" deal, and applied PCA to all models of car for sales:

His real question was:

* what are the most important variables that makes up car's PRICE? or, said in another way

* if I have to compare two cars that have the same price: with which car I get the best out of my money?

The answer was pretty surprising:

the most important variable is WEIGHT

:)

So, while you choose a car, always check for its weight! do two car have the same price? take the heavier one :)
(this results relates to the 90s, are they still valid now? not sure: we need PCA)

I've been using this result since then, applying it in different context (which is, of course, not correct): when I am in doubt on which product to choose I always choose the heavier one. I would not use this 'method' to buy a speed bicycle, ...or to choose the best girl ;)

Then, you even have somebody stating that we are using this method even without this explanation https://www.securityinfowatch.com/integrators/article/122343...
Why own a toaster, using my Toasteroo service other people will make you toast and bring it to your front door!
Probably not true fully. If they are so detail oriented, they will understand what "max" means and they will also understand how specifications and industry works.

They might have trolled or basically showing off superior production process.
Been down this road. GPG exists for that purpose. Although not intednded for disk files,s/mime has cross platform support as well.

To answer your question,interoperability with other applications is neither expected nor desired for most apps that store encrypted data in a file. Quite often there are additional implementation details to be included (for which AEAD supportig cipher modes account for).

Let's say I encrypt outputs of my program and store them in a file,I will most likely serialize it,encrypt it and store it only caring about my app being able to read and deserialize it. There is mostly no need for interoperability for data-at-rest encryption since there are a lot of interoperable protocols for data-in-transit encryption. I do think it would not hurt to have something like .gpg but more srandardized and easy to implement.
And I told you your figures were misleading. What's with HN posters and their fetishizing of numbers?
Can we change the title to 'attempts suicide' because this is disturbing until you read the article?
Call it what you want. People will find a way to hold onto their money.
Generally you're going to raise at a higher valuation, so the fact that your percent ownership goes down at a higher share price isn't a bad thing. It's when you raise at the same valuation or lower valuation where it can be painful.
This constant iteration is exactly how software development works now.

By contrast to this, Quickbooks for Mac went through a ground-up rewrite in Cocoa about 10 years ago and has been keeping up with the transitions. It's really beautiful software that's a delight to use. They even used an SQLite data format so that you could easily access your own data.

Apple's is best at how it gently breaks stuff to move everyone forward.
While I agree with you relating to Carbon, Microsoft is pretty much the still only game in town for desktop computing (which also includes laptops and 2-1 hybrids) in worldwide market share.
What do you mean lack of interaction? I agree the experience is uncomfortable after some time. This was using the HTC Vive. I have used the smaller Rift device before though and that was miles better although the visual aspect was much lower in quality. I think once they make the hardware smaller, lighter and cheaper the novelty could have a larger commonplace in day-to-day.
[edit, my reply was to a comment I made up in my head by conflating a bunch of other comments. Going to call it a comment prediction failure and blame my own CPU ;) ]

Oh, The one I was thinking of may have been FDIV rather than fsqrt. I mean the basic problem was the lookup table for the first NR guess was zero’d in a bunch of places and so the required number of NR iterations was incorrect and so sadness ensued.

But my point was those bugs weren’t due to complexity.

I think things like the f00f bug that was mentioned in another reply better fall into the “complexity is hard” area. The comment I was replying to was that it was complexity driven bugs, and I was trying to say that a number of the bugs we see aren’t in particularly complicated portions of the cpu - seriously the FPU bugs were all in some of the most sane portions of the CPU, vs f00f, spectre, etc which are a somewhat direct result of complex interactions of different parts of the cpu.
Cmd+Tab and Cmd+` are great. Maybe it's dumb to you, but that's what keeps me coming back to macOS.

Finder still feels less cluttered to me than Explorer. It isn't quite as simple as Finder vs Explorer, it's the built-in assumptions. For me, Finder + Unix filesystem vs Explorer + Windows filesystem is a no-brainer.
> so I guess noboby buys craftsmanship.

Part of the problem is: how do identify it, if even premium brands don't reliably maintain their standards?
>This is why unfortunately the Mac is dead to me. I would love to support it, but when OpenGL was deprecated it was just game over for me. A company that forces me to learn a completely different language to access their basic APIs and keeps changing them is just too mush of a hassle. Every hour spent on maintaining a mac port is an hour not serving the 90% of users who aren't on Mac.

I think their idea is, if you're not going to make a full-on Mac app -- leveraging the extra capabilities, the native APIs, the native look, etc and updating with the platform --, don't bother.

It's perhaps too much for its small market share (2-10% depending on region, though with much better share of the richer, actually-paying-for-software demographic), but if that wasn't the case, what would really differentiate macOS from Windows?

Just the UI and under the hood stuff, when both are running the same identical apps and codebases?
The slow-burn upping of the ante left me unsure if this was even satire. Well done.

...it is satire, right?
I suspect France, Germany, US and other govs are pressuring PayPal, Mastercard, VISA and others to withdraw, and that’s the main reason they’re getting cold feet.
Sorry, I was a teenager and fairly anti-Apple even at the time. When carbon was introduced I don't see how Carbon could have ever been seen as anything other than a temporary solution.
I would have to go back and watch the original introduction, but I even seem to recall that general feeling from the event.
So I guess I'm just not understanding your viewpoint here.

USB-A still works, you just need a compatibility layer (a dongle).

OpenGL has been deprecated for years. Why are people reacting like this is a new development.

A lot less annoying than waking up to a 3-alarm fire methinks...

I still unplug kitchen stuff when not in use and it's been a long time since I was a kid in the 70's when stuff could (and probably would) "fail hard" and burn down your house.
Thankfully there are vendors out there willing to move beyond C, unlike Khronos.
Any number of shares at any given point is a percentage of the company, and any percentage is always a certain number of shares.

You won't stay at that percentage though, unless the founders agree to protect you from dilution. In that case, they'd compensate you with some of their own shares whenever you dilute to keep your percentage the same. It's not common for employees though.
It is 100% mandatory to file taxes if you make over $12k and over $13.5k if you’re over 65 and file single. Doesn’t matter if it’s from a job, investment, or unemployment.

Chimps in the wild eat 12 kilogram of meat on average. So it is probably millions of years.
Other than that they're largely different groups of people. It's mostly young professionals displacing blue collar workers and racial minorities.

With some exceptions like Manhattan, graduates of 20 to 30 years ago didn't live in city cores or often even commute to them. In my grad school class--the New Yorkers aside--almost no one I knew moved into a city. They were all out in the suburbs, which is where most of the companies they worked for were located as well.
In the 70s, there was a widely promoted theory that Detroit had invented carburetors that would make cars get 100 MPG, but they were suppressed by some Big Oil - Big Auto conspiracy. (It was partly promoted by people selling aftermarket carburetors that claimed to, but never did, improve mileage. Some of them used magnets to straighten out the fuel molecules, or something.)

But here you can see actual evidence of a similar phenomenon. Slowing down emissions reductions for short-term incentives.

Ouch, my poor planet.
I hope they will be more involved in the open-source electronic design software than other countries. Software like LibreCAD[1] and FreeCAD[2], Yosys[3] and Symbiflow[4], Chisel/FIRRTL[5], OpenROAD initiative[6], Degate[7], and many others.

Well, to be technical, the OpenPanel API changed pretty drastically too.

I would expect that a second round of problem will come up because Swift is going to get access to APIs that Objective-C will not get.
It should be noted that VATs can be implemented in a progressive manner. Give everyone (or anyone under a certain income) an exemption that covers VAT for necessities, exempt items like rent/utilities from it, etc.
Agreed, and Scratch is hardly the pinnacle of programming language theory.

I was talking to professor Shriram Krishnamurthi a week ago about a block-based, educational ML dialect I was making, and he told me that he believed that once a language had a type system as sophisticated as mine, its target audience should be using text, not blocks. So, perhaps Scratch-style languages are a dead-end, or infeasible beyond a certain level.

My personal hope for the "next level" of programming languages is those that use typed holes to interactively help the programmer construct the program.
A lithium/air battery is 40.1 MJ/kg. There are people working on aprotic liquid electrolytes that could be used with secondary (rechargeable) cells with a metallic lithium anode.
>Explain to me why my users would benefit from me spending months switching to a different API?

Because as a user I don't want apps forcing extra baggage like old APIs to be supported forever in the OS. Nor I want apps that are fossilized and don't take advantage of new platform features.

If I didn't care for apps being Mac-specific and taking advantage of what the platform has to offer and moving on with the platform, I'd just as well use Windows or Linux (and vice versa).

So, I kinda did this - I needed a developer for my startup but couldn't afford to pay one. So I learned myself, though I didn't use a bootcamp, just tried to build what I could and learn more from MOOC's like udemy or youtube channel or discord servers. As my startup grows my first hire is going to be a lead developer. (Whom I will probably have to give some equity when he sees how much of my code he is going to have to fix)

It's a tremendous advantage if you ask me, that I can speak in his language. Ideas are a lot easier to plan out and conceptualize.

If your product is purely software, yeah, learn to code some, but remember you are doing it as a means to an end. The moment you get a professional, hand the reins over, because that's not your main strength.

I think you are doing the right thing by browsing on HN. Read what developers are talking about, there's a fair amount of time I won't even understand what the title is talking about but every time I read it, it gives me an idea about what developers struggle with.

There's no checkbox for "is now a good communicator". It's a spectrum, you just have to keep learning.
