Merge conflicts are not so scary, and are an elegant way to handle distributed changes with simultaneous edits to a single file.

If the conflict is huge, rebasing can help you by "playing" the commits from one branch one at a time so the conflicts are smaller / easier to fix.

At a previous job, a team was forced to use checkout-style VCS due to their manager's unfounded fear of merge conflicts; I couldn't go in that office without hearing one developer shout to another: "Hey, can you finish up and check in that file so I can get started on my changes?"

A person has something worth X. The government wants to take a piece of that thing that reduces its value to Y. Therefore the government has to give the person (X-Y) dollars.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable way to value what the government is taking away via eminent domain.

More accurately: motion dynamics not compatible with both General Relativity and the mass we can see and reasonably infer. There is of course a stupendously huge amount of mostly invisible "interstellar medium", and even more "intergalactic medium", mostly ions of loose atoms and small molecules, and we use estimates of how much of that there must be. If its motion has anything to do with plasma fluid dynamics, all bets are off, because those equations are what mathematicians call intractable, and physicists would call career-limiting.

They will happily declare 3x more unknowable Dark Matter than normal stuff before allowing plasma dynamics to have any effect on anything. Can hardly blame them.

There's two main reasons you would want to use auto-track. You should use auto-track if:

- You don't have the resources to setup tracking code.

- You want to look at data that you forgot to track previously. We've heard a lot of stories of people launching a new feature and forgetting to setup tracking on it.

If you have the resources to figure out and instrument everything you want to track ahead of time, then you should go ahead and do so. A manually tracked implementation is more likely to be correct than a autotracked one. Even so, auto-track is still useful as a tool for when you have new questions you want to ask or you realize that you need data that you aren't currently tracking.

You should not use autotrack to perform fishing expeditions where you just look at all the data and try to make sense of it. You should still have some guiding questions and autotrack is a tool that makes it easy to get the data you need to answer those questions.

>>currently corporate agriculture is less sustainable as they make little to no efforts in maintaining or building the top soil depth

How did you come to this conclusion? I'm close the industry, and in my experience, corporate farms spend a great deal of effort maintaining soil, which includes using drones to visually inspect crops to see where soil may be lacking certain nutrients based on foliage color analysis.

From the article abstract, it appears that this paper is more about how the governance behind modifying the bitcoin code itself is hierarchical, and not the separate but dependent issue of mining power for the current protocol being concentrated in relatively few hands:

"The overall political framework for altering the Bitcoin code is described as senatorial governance: a (de)centralized model of bureaucratic parties who compete to change the monetary policy (codified rules) of the protocol. This model shows how Bitcoin is not an autonomous system but is assembled and maintained via human discretion."

> small farm farmers did to keep the soil rich and diverse in nutrients

Some old school small farmers did this. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, they famously did not, leading to the dust bowl. That was caused by small farms, not industrial farmers.

But I totally agree that modern industrial agriculture only does the bare minimum to keep nutrient levels up.
So I understand the lawyerly arguments here. You've done a great job explaining them.

Here in California we do hold what citizens want to a great degree of value. We've worked for a more direct democracy with citizen initiated constitutional amendments and more recently, citizen initiated redistricting.

With this in mind, you have to concede that at some point you're going to have a harder time arguing lawyerly points to an ever-growing statewide coalition.
> no, it is not a necessity to raise and slaughter animals. You can survive just fine on an entirely plant-based diet. It's detrimental to the world which is literally on fire right now.

Surviving purely on plant based diet and remaining in your top form will require more than stop eating meat and solving

- Cost
- Availability
- Education

and few more major issues. That is for consumers only, corporations have different problems. They won't suddenly disappear and if they did, it might become a problem for you indirectly through state.

> the population increases and countries like China raise the demand exponentially.

Population is declining everywhere except Africa and some odd balls.

> there is no way to humanely raise an animal only to kill it unjustifiably.

That depends entirely on you. Although I agree humanely way to kill is more of a need for humans than animals, it seems.
My take on point #4 is this:

Humans have plentiful incentives to keep breeding domesticated animals (whether for food, pets, or whatever). So we will try to keep the population stable, and that helps prevent the extinction of these species (and accompanying loss of biodiversity). However, for undomesticated animals, the same incentives do not exist. We don't try to breed these animals, so the population is not as stable in the face of disasters like this (man-made or natural). The result is that undomesticated animals are more likely to face the threat of extinction (and accompanying loss of biodiversity).

Just arguing against eating animals isn't sufficient. It would be beneficial to argue in favor of preserving biodiversity as well.
Everyone in quantitative finance has built a back-test that would make them billions on paper. It is highly likely there is over-fitting issues, errors in calculations of returns etc.

Right. They have the red shift we would expect to find in more distant objects than they seem to be, just based on how bright their supernovas are. But if the brightness is off, the anomaly might disappear. Or get bigger, all bets are off.

This is demonstrably false.

I totally believe this happens / feel like a bad parent for not cutting it off, but we have the app set on 2 year old and under and I’ve seen a lot of dumb stuff but nothing inappropriate yet.

> It's interesting. She sounds like a pro writer. I wonder if her four years were really research for a planned book. That kind of thing is very common. If so, it's paid off. She's hot news, right now. Being exec producer on a movie before the book is even out, is sort of...Silicon Valley.

Of course she sounds like a pro writer, she is a pro writer. That's like going to the bookstore, picking up a random novel and saying, "hey, this guy should write books!".

It's a bit off-putting to suggest that she started her big-tech career with the express goal of writing a book. It isn't common.
Commitment in online dating is much more incremental than in job hiring. With a dating app (as I understand it, I haven't used them), the process is like:

1. Get matched.

2. Chat online back and forth.

3. Go on a date.

4. If that works well, maybe another, etc.

At any point, either party can call it off or just ghost. There are many easy exit points, so it makes sense for the top of the funnel to be as wide as possible in the hopes that a candidate makes it all the way through. There is little harm in taking at least the first step or two with many participants.

With hiring, interviewing uses valuable employee time. Once an offer is extended and someone is hired the company is effectively fully committed to them. The employee is even more committed since they likely quit their previous job.
The two options do not seem to be mutually exclusive.
Almost certainly since basically all plants are Kosher. It's possible they'll need to have it blessed by a Rabbi, but that's pretty easy to do.

My company in 1996-99 used Pegasus mail extensively to manage emails besides mutt, Eudora mail.

Also provided mercury mail as a standalone small mail relay and newsletters servers to some companies as it supported mailing list management by a file which was generated from a web app.

Just in the subsequent jobs moved away from Pegasus as mutt and Thunderbird being open source were preferred by the team.

Later with Fortune 500 moved to lotus notes and outlook with exchange and both were a horrible experience.

Pmail is one of the best email client on windows, much better than outlook and lotus notes.

Congratulations to the author to be able to keep this client and server alive and constantly updating it.
Companies are slow-moving. They legally can - but structurally cannot - decide one day that they're not that into you and move to a new state. If they bring in a bad employee, they have to first build up proof that they messed up, explain any mistakes to their customers, and ease other employees' concerns. If you've seen someone hired and fired from a white-collar job, the manager goes a lot of work trying to keep them on.

You might be tempted to compare this to relationships and divorce, but now you're making a totally different comparison. Going on a blind date, introducing them to your family, and marrying someone without any third-party verification are totally different things!
Is it rational for a customer to not fly on a plane that is as safe as any other just because the same company later made another plane that was less safe? It seems like a lot to ask.

In any case, even if 10% of people totally stopped flying on Boeing, which would be a wildly optimistic outcome for any organized consumer action, the airlines would just discount those flights ever so slightly and the other 90% of price-conscious consumers would immediately take up the slack. Nobody's going out of business in that scenario. This is, of course, why we rely on regulation rather than consumer choice to ensure safety, and why this is a failure of regulation, not of the market.
IIRC Impossible burgers are kosher (vegan is most of the way there) so assume they would make this kosher as well.
> 1) That kind of targeting is even less useful outside of FB. You can upload gmail addresses to Google to target, or use something like LiveRamp to target on display networks, but both options suck compared to FB.

Both google and FB are financially incentivized to provide as much granularity in targeting as possible so they can charge more money to advertisers, who'll get a better return and get promoted. All up until the point that it becomes a liability. Thats the line they're walking - you can totally target quite a few things that end up correlating to say, neurotic people, if you know your audience is neurotic people. You have enough of the dataset at that point.
You will still have false positives. You will either have false positives in that children will slip through, which the FTC is not a fan of. Or you will have false-positives in that adults will be unfairly restricted (which everyone else should have a problem with).

Even in that scenario, content filtering is more feasible and practical than detecting and banning children.

But, pushing that problem aside as well, sure. Assuming that you didn't have false positives, and assuming that you didn't have to violate anyone's privacy, and assuming that the solution wasn't obscenely expensive, that theoretical solution would be very helpful. It would basically solve the entire problem, for pretty much everyone.

But that theoretical solution doesn't exist.

If we're willing to make those assumptions, I would also like a special gun that only shoots bad people and doesn't work in schools or churches. And it would be nice to give law enforcement with warrants access to lawful information without requiring encryption backdoors. Of course, we'll also need to implement the new training regiment that gets rid of any corrupt prosecutors or officers.

I'll happily posit things for the sake of discussion, but there's a point where I'm suspending so much reality that the discussion just breaks down. I can't stop looking at the proposed solution and saying, "yeah but this thing you're talking about doesn't work." I guess I'm just not sure what you're getting at.
Bitcoin decision making is channeled down a funnel: Core Developers make suggestions and the Lead Developer (and those given commit access) sign off on those decisions. Those decisions are then voted for by miners who are (relatively) centralised in that roughly 5 mining pool companies control the vast majority of hashing power used to vote on those decisions. Meanwhile large wallet/exchange companies who control vast amounts of on-chain transactions can lobby miners to pick certain decisions by upgrading their nodes to reflect new rules (miners will want to follow large companies because they create liquidity for coins with the new rules and so they can sell their coins more easily and, theoretically, for a higher value).
So while this is still a decentralised systems because multiple parties have a say, there are still lots of points of centralised control in the governance system. In other words, not everyone is equal. "Individual developers submit to those with commit access, individual miners submit to mining pool operators, and everyday users submit to Bitcoin companies" (478). The Lead Developer acts as a centralised decision maker, mining pools act like centralised voters, and Bitcoin companies act like centralised lobbyers. So there is a certain structure to Bitcoin governance.

America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
Original observation: programs do a lot of things you didn't ask for.

This response: well, actually™ you really want all these things you didn't ask for. And don't worry about that bloat, the memory is cheap and the CPUs are fast.

So, the points of the original article still stand (this "response" does not address them in any way).

The claim about 100ms latency being imperceptible is the cherry on the top. Try delaying a drum track by 100ms and listening to it without pain (or try singing karaoke into a mic with that much latency).

But that's beside the point, which is that all these programs are doing a lot of things you didn't ask for and take megabytes to do that.

Hmmm... your reference seems to indicate it's OK, so long as it's clear to any observers what's really going on. Cheeseburgers with non-dairy mock cheese are an explicit example.

(Next two paragraphs quoted:

For example, if one wishes to drink almond milk while eating meat, he needs to indicate that it is in fact almond milk, not regular milk, which is forbidden. In the olden days, this was done by popping some whole almonds into the milk. Today, this can be achieved by having the container on the table, making it clear that it is almond milk.6

The same would need to be done in order to serve a veggie burger that resembles meat, topped with real cheese, or to serve a beef burger under a slice of imitation cheese. It’s fine to eat, provided that the package is nearby and visible, or its parve identity is spelled out on the menu, receipt, etc.

I don't think what you're saying is 100% true. When I was looking for a gf I asked my friends if they knew someone who I might like. I also tried online dating. Online dating ended up working eventually after a lot of trial and error but it would have but a lot easier if a friend could have given me an introduction to a validated person. Would a person a friend introduced be the optimal person for me? Maybe not, but it's someone I likely could have been with quickly who would probably have been at least pretty good. Online dating meanwhile is an awful slog even if it sometimes produces a better person at the end. The exact same thing applies with hiring, except the stakes are higher. I can date someone for a month or two, decide I don't like them, and move on. You can't do that with hiring.
This is Game Theory’s explanation of it:

If the concern is species extinction, the largest contributing factor globally is deforestation, which is primarily driven by industrial agriculture so we can produce more grain and soybeans to feed animals. So again it ties back to the animals we eat for food.

We're already torching millions of acres to make room for more plants to feed back to animals. And those are intentional fires and logging operations!

Ultimately what I'm saying is that our bottomless need to consume meat directly contrasts with our desire to prevent wildfires and species extinction. In fact, the first thing is directly causing the second.
But the real achievement will be Impossible Bacon

Just shared the exact same sentiment with a friend; while I'm no committed vegan or vegetarian, if I see an impossible burger on a menu at a burger bar, I'll happily order one.

If they manage to make a passable and just as enjoyable impossible bacon strip, oh boy.
Can't blame just the manufacturers. AMD seems to do no QA with its BIOS before handing it to OEMS. Most of the previous generation's AMD laptops had issues with linux. AMD bios updates are still not supported under linux. If AMD doesn't care about the core enthusiast crowd, why should people care ?
