>I'm surprised at this - seems bizarre that it's a 'great product' but isn't commercially viable in any way?

The UK government are pushing EVs heavily but there's no charging infrastructure in place and very few can afford the £30-40K it costs to buy them :(
None of those seem to affect anyone else, so as long as the person experimenting on themselves is of sound mind I don't see the problem.
It's precisely because feeding humans is so environmentally impactful that we should not be feeding mostly animals, only to eat them.

The CO2 impact of rice and grains in general can't be compared the impact of animal products, here is a graph - https://i0.wp.com/shrinkthatfootprint.com/wp-content/uploads...

Honest question: of all of the things people can do to make the world greener, why is it mostly (a subset) of vegans that look down their nose at other people?

You don’t see people driving electric cars pulling up at red lighted and giving people shit for driving an SUV

People in middle America don’t come into your city and shit on you for how far food has to drive to get to your ass.

People that grow their own food aren’t protesting your grocery stores.

Chill out.
That's only hypocrisy if you misrepresent what "school choice" is a debate about.

The argument isn't "should you be able to send your kids to private schools?", it's "should you be able to take tax revenue from the public system with you when you do?"

Why Eating Meat Is Unhealthy
At my small highschool it was well known that the teachers essentially rotated being principal. They all hated it but it had to be done. While I was there it was the history teacher. Before that it was the science teacher. After I left the english teacher took over the role. Yes it was <100 people so there really was only one teacher for each subject with some overlap.

Glad to hear everything is working out for your machine. One thing I'm curious about:

> Installation was a breeze, it compiles the kernel on 32 cores from spinning rust in 4m15s

Is that 8-core / 32-thread CPU? I don't think there's actually a 32-real core CPU available from them. If so, I think that's an impressive speed for 8-real cores.
This is factually correct and relevant, not sure why it's downvoted

well you have just compared the most nutritious meat food item (liver) to the medium dense vegetable item, nutrition vise. And you compared them by weight.. Compare them by calorie. For example, put 2000cal of kale in app like cronometer and you will see that you satisfy almost all micro nutrients and all protein and ala needs just from 2kcal of kale. But of course no body eats 2000cal and nobody should, I just gave an example when you compare by calorie.

Plants, have hundreds of active compounds in them that meat products do not. Those more bioavailable micronutrients from meat are linked to problems and cancers (heme iron) because our body can't regulate them as well as from plant sources.

Now I am not saying that liver is not packed with micronutrients, but I am just replying to a hilarious claims that plants are somehow drasticaly lacking in nutrients
This is scary good and easy to use. Clever idea with the Chrome extension too.

The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/08/insec...

The study found that neonics accounted for 92 percent of this increased toxicity. Neonics are not only incredibly toxic to honeybees, they can remain toxic for more than 1,000 days in the environment, said Klein.

https://www.gq.com/story/sperm-count-zero

The Hebrew University/Mount Sinai paper was a meta-analysis by a team of epidemiologists, clinicians, and researchers that culled data from 185 studies, which examined semen from almost 43,000 men. It showed that the human race is apparently on a trend line toward becoming unable to reproduce itself. Sperm counts went from 99 million sperm per milliliter of semen in 1973 to 47 million per milliliter in 2011, and the decline has been accelerating.

When a chemical affects your hormones, it's called an endocrine disruptor. And it turns out that many of the compounds used to make plastic soft and flexible (like phthalates) or to make them harder and stronger (like Bisphenol A, or BPA) are consummate endocrine disruptors. Phthalates and BPA, for example, mimic estrogen in the bloodstream. If you're a man with a lot of phthalates in his system, you'll produce less testosterone and fewer sperm. If exposed to phthalates in utero, a male fetus's reproductive system itself will be altered: He will develop to be less male.

Bits of plastic have been detected in the faeces of people in Europe, Russia and Japan, according to research claiming to show for the first time the widespread presence of plastics in the human food chain.

This is all bad news if you enjoy eating food or reproducing.

Again, a very different situation. First of all, these numbers are still very minuscule compared to the total population and territory of the USA - for example the UK alone accepted a little over 200k non-eu immigrants in 2018.

Secondly, these new citizens are truly multicultural, as they literally come from every part of the globe - opposed to the refugees coming into the EU who are mostly from a middle eastern cultural origin. Because of this new immigrants coming into the US rarely have the luxury of arriving in a group of people similar to them so they are pretty much forced to assimilate.

Lastly, the geographical position of the US and their immigration policies allow them to be able to sift through the millions of applicants and pick the cream of the crop. Winning the dv lottery is not unconditional - it's only the first step in a series of screenings and checks one needs to undergo before he's even approved to become an american citizen. This is the polar opposite of the migrant situation in Europe where millions of people are simply passing through county borders without barely any supervision or control.
Not much to get. People aren't willing to pay prices which will provide enough margin to cover costs. Electric cars are a tough business, especially for a company with no established auto supply chain or auto manufacturing experience.

Teslas are often touted as great products, yet there is no sign that they will ever turn a penny in cumulative cash profit.

NIO is going bankrupt.

Chevy bolts are touted as great products, but GM loses money on them and don't see profit potential for several more years. And they have the supply chain and experience.

There has yet to be a commercially viable plug in electric car. Not a shock that it is also true for Dyson.

Why is this being downvoted? I didnt say electric cars will never make money. I am stating the FACT that no company makes money on them YET.
> So he is a terrible human being for having pro-Brexit opinions?

Not solely, no. He's terrible for being a spokesman for Brexit as good for Britain and British business, and then moving his British business to Singapore: i.e. for saying one thing and then doing the opposite. Hypocrisy. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/23/james-...

He gets a lot of personal benefit from the EU, as well: https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/dyson-defends-his-1-6m-farm-subsi... https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/sir-james-dyson...

> banning guns, reversing roe v wade

You realize gun and abortion laws already vary greatly from state to state?
Then I move to a country with a more strict immigration policy(Canada, Australia, New Zealand). The reason why those countries are so successful is that they are very selective with who they let in.

If you want to pay taxes to house, feed, educate and care for 3 million extra people, fine by me, just don't make me pay for your charity. In fact, why don't you already take some on your house?

Those aren’t middle class tech coastal people though, more like older middle Americans who get all their news from the TV

I expect old Chinese people to be jingoistic but if educated young people are that’s just a sad testament to how little creative/critical thinking is encouraged in China
Not really a "values" argument but isn't it unsafe to use drugs (even alcohol) alone with strangers? I guess for men a bit safer but still?
There is a popular theory (with some statistical backing) that the main purpose of charter schools is to continue-increase segregation. The history of the USA is marked by the original sin of slavery- it’s in our founding documents and has powerful influence on politics even today. Schools for under 18 is publicly funded but private schools are nominally not publicly funded, so they do not have to obey a lot of strings attached to federal assistance. Charter schools are used in some areas as a work around to get segregation publicly funded.(where poor people are excluded and it turns out surprise - a lot of those people are not white.) of course there are exceptions or charter schools in urban areas that are majority Minority but even 20 years ago when I lived in Texas charter schools were transparent segregation to exclude minorities. Public schools have to take everyone. A school that doesn’t allow everyone in can eliminate low performing kids and juke the stats so it looks like a great school on paper.
> And, in all likelihood, humanity will simply use technology to adapt to the changed circumstances.

That doesn't strike you as a convenient thing to believe because it means not having to give up anything? You remind me of smokers 20 years ago who assured me that medicine would cure lung cancer before they caught it so they didn't worry about it.
>When you treat the police like your enemy, how do you expect them to rush to your help the moment you need it? And seeing that the protesters were more than capable of violence themselves, why would the police rush to help?

Because you have a sense of honor and duty? Because you want to preserve the possibility of peaceful protest? The reasons go on.
> Charters tend to do better because of the crushing regulation and lack of meaningful accountability of the public schools

No, they tend to “do better” because and to the extent they cherry-pick students, either by more restrictive admissions, by being more free to remove students that being their aggregate results down, by not having mandates to serve special needs students, or by selecting for students with parents who are higher socioeconomic status and more involved and place higher priority on education, which they often do simply by being a non-default choice requiring active choice that is less conveniently located than the default-by-residence-location public school.

Charters (which can be publicly or privately operated) have strictly less accountability than regular, non-charter public schools.
Building a commercially competitive production line is the problem no? Designing of the electric car is trivial I'd say compared to the (programming and usage of) robots and (training and hiring of) humans required to actually assemble the thing.
People just love kicking down anything or anyone popular.

But just because that is an automatic human reaction, as you mention from some "I'm smart and know better" than other people, for some emotional high, that also applies to the extremists who push it hard on both ends with the same "I know better" motivations. Often at a much higher and frequent degree.

You could make a good argument that the moderates are often the lessers of evils and the most frequently right, just as long as we stay aware of their own weaknesses as motivation killers or overly compromising middle ground that can sometimes be the worse of the three generalized positions (sometimes doing nothing is better than something for the sake of appeasing the loudest voices, which one could argue is not true moderation).

Regardless these meta discussions only have so much value and are always a massive distraction.
If you guys want to try a new blogging experience, I recommend Epiphany:

https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=2684bc94f9fcb9ffe637ebfbeba2...

Epiphany is a crossover of Jupyter notebook and Medium.com,

Not only can you write text, you can also program on it, to create interactive examples, see:

https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=4c411b8a0b5207739f97e787d2af...

In addition to interactivity, Epiphany implements version control, forking and pull request. You can collaborate with others just like you do on github.

An article will have two timestamps, Create time and last modified time. More than that, you can see the entire revision history.

Source code is in text and syntax highlighted.

It also has the social publishing feature as seen on Medium.

Finally, users own their content. Epiphany has a download button to allow downloading all blog data.

The format used by Epiphany, unlike that of Jupyter, is in plain text and is human readable.

disclaimer: I made Epiphany
It's very reasonable for a well educated and hard working, but otherwise middle class and average, American to become a millionaire by the middle age or older politicians usually are.
Biased much? And why are you assuming that everyone here isn't familiar with the dynamics of China and Hong Kong? Maybe you just want to repeat the Chinese propaganda/rhetoric in hope of swaying some minds?

You haven't even provided a single shred of evidence to support the beliefs you are attributing to the vast number of Chinese people. Hacker news is a site of logic and evidence based reasoning, not for propagating senseless propaganda.

Ditto. I was like, I get the pawn moving from Queen 2 to Queen 4, but what’s that stuff before the colon?
Seems to be 4g of protein per 85g (1/2cup) of peas. I weight ~72 kg (~160lb); recommendation is 1.5-2g of protein per kg, so I'd need 142g of protein per day on the high end, which equates to roughly 3017.5g, 71 cups, of peas daily.

Frozen walmart sweet peas are .84c per bag, each bag contain 4 servings, roughly $7.45 in peas per day.

For comparison, chicken breast @ 100g (3.5oz or .45 lb) is 31g of protein. I'd need 458g of chicken breast, around 2.25lbs. I can get it for $1.99/lb, but the better quality stuff is $6.99/lb, so $4.48 to $15.72/day. When I'm eating to put on muscle I buy the cheap crap and slow cook it and toss hot sauce on it.

Lentils are a better choice than peas, you'd probably need half as much. I'd rather eat chicken than copious amounts of a plant alternative, but I have started eating more lentils b/c they're not at all as bad as I thought they'd be. I hate peas though.

We have to really recenter what is considered a "terrible human being" I am not for Brexit either, but do not consider those that were in support terrible human beings. Also him moving is irrelevant, and was not related. The turning everything up to 11 is getting pretty tiresome, and really drowns out the things we should be turning up.
I was impressed but not too surprised to find that the phenomenon of 'Japanese holdout' has it's own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_holdout

The fanaticism of Japanese soldiers may have nuances when compared to the guerrilla and insurgent wars of today, but the potential for fighting to drag on for decades seems to have been demonstrated.
It’s not a simple embedded vs. front end divide. I think Cambridge has generally funded and valued companies that are see as solving, ‘hard problems,’ and, rightly or wrongly that viewpoint favours backend stuff and hardware.

I’m not sure this is a problem though. Many large companies are not hiring in the valley because the high level of compensation is making it uneconomical.
It doesn't work that way. At that point, they cease being militants and become warlords.
Back when CRT televisions were the only option, Bang & Olufsen really made televisions of that era look great. But with flatscreens, everyone can make a television look great, so they've lost their edge.

My point being, I don't think the comparison is fair. B&O used to be something. I don't think Dyson ever was.
By 1985 the prices must have really dropped because the character encoder on my Apple ][e clone was actually an eprom that contained multiple copies of the bitmaps.

It had extra address lines that weren't even used.

Same thing for the keyboard encoder, IIRC.
It'll depend on the kernel configuration. I don't know about the Raptor, however I have some experience with IBM's POWER9 servers and they do have tremendous single thread performance and many cores, and are quite a bit faster than Intel Xeons (although at a considerably higher price, but the customers usually need the performance and aren't too sensitive about price).
Turkey has some 4 million [0] refugees (overwhelmingly Syrian [1]) which the EU supports financially, as well as helping to pay for coastal patrols. Migrants seeking to get to the eastern Mediterranean are instead returned to Turkey. Erdogan states, "if you try to frame our operation [in northern Syria] as an invasion, our task is simple: we will open the doors and send 3.6 million migrants to you" [2]. I can't find any specifics but presumably he's referring to Turkey ceasing to intercept and warehouse refugees who would otherwise head straight to Europe.

I sure hope so. But weirdly enough, you cant tell sarcasm from a serious statement these days because we are in a crazy time where the most stupid shit is an everyday occurrence.
If Turkey leaves NATO, they will further ally with Russia.

Considering Turkey's strategic location, it's better to have Turkey in NATO instead of as an adversary, even if its leadership doesn't align with the values of other NATO members.

Erdogan knows that he has a ton of leverage and chooses to maximize his advantage.

There are a lot of moving pieces here. He's overcalculated a bit and his nationalist policy has hurt the Turkish economy.

Likewise, many European countries rejecting Turkey's EU bids last decade on thinly-veiled Islamaphobic pretenses only strengthened his nationalist message at home.

The west knows it, but they also know that they would rather have Turkey nominally on their side than not.

It will probably take cooler heads and or a major economic downturn to shift that sentiment. Until then, Turkey maintains its seat in NATO.
I can have this major feature done for you, but I'm not sure if it can be done in 2 months, so I say 3 to be conservative.

OR

I can have many small sub-features that relate to this major feature done in 2 months, but I might know exactly which features make the cut in those 2 months.

Seems congruous to me

> there's no charging infrastructure in place

There are over 15,000 EV charging points in the UK today, which is about 2X the number of petrol stations. Ionity will have 40 350 kW fast charging stations in the UK as well.
Meat is also shipped across the world a lot, like every other food. So the impact of transportation adds up to the impact of production, which is huge.

It's precisely because feeding humans is so resource-intensive that we should not waste so many resources feeding animals.
What I find is that you commit to the data model either way. Your code has to be written against something. It's just that with a type system it is explicit so that if a change is made which would break something the compiler along with tests where needed can tell you. However with a dynamic language you are much more reliant on hand written tests as there is very little the compiler can verify.
Japan.

6 years of shōgakkō [lit. "small school"], followed by 3 years of chūgaku [short for chūgakkō, lit. "middle school"], and then 3 years of kōkō [short for kōtōgakkō, lit. "advanced school"]. Years actually reset when you go from one school to another, so for example, nobody says "seventh grade" but rather "middle school first grade" [chūgaku ichi-nensei] (as a side note, I personally find such translations awkward and would always translate chūgaku ichi-nensei as "seventh grade").

Interestingly enough, while chūgaku literally means "middle school", it's more analogous to the American junior high model because it's years 7-9 (but again, nobody calls them that) and not 6-8 (and as such I prefer to translate chūgaku as "junior high school", though part of that is informed by growing up in a part of the US that uses the junior high model so translating it as such has more verisimilitude to me).

>"Direction" implies that there was a coordinated decision to inflate the importance of the Hong Kong protests by sending more journalists there to produce more articles. But Hong Kong was already an internationally important city with many journalists. Of course they were going to report on protests happening right under their nose.

You don't need to send more journalists to a place to have more coverage of it.

You need to promote the articles journalists write to front-page headlines. You need to have talking heads who have never left the telestudio talk about the issue.

Sure, you have to deal with the constraints imposed on you by local authorities. Israel for some odd reason isn't super-keen on letting journalists into the Gaza strip, either. But that, itself, is part of the story.

There's a trade war going on, and China has never been in the Western sphere, and antagonizing it is popular and easy, and currently very patriotic, because they are also stealing all our jobs.

Antagonizing Israel is not patriotic, and it's a 'Western' nation, and it's not stealing our jobs, and also you will be in the company of a bunch of truly despicable anti-semites, and the people repressed there are definitely 'non-Western'.

The media cultivates this particular branch of selective empathy, in a way that just happens to coincide with geo-political leanings of our governments. And we eat it up, wholesale, without even a shred of self-awareness.
I think Dyson has tried to position itself as a Veblen good.
