It would just shift more to healthier meat like beef instead of so much chicken. Beef production requires no large tractors, seeders, harvesters, etc. You are just letting cows eat grass. Chicken production is basically an extra step in corn production, so it needs all the equipment involved in corn production.

I'm a millenial. I already can't afford a mortgage. How will that change anything?

But if they ban lending, it would cut demand to buy properties and would cause a price crash. Then within 5 years, I would be able to buy a house with cash.
I agree, and moreover, "non-commercial" usage excludes almost every practical use. I used to work in media and we found photographers have different understandings what this license means. Some were ok to use their photo for illustration purposes for example in our article, while others were offended that editorial is not non-commercial. We quickly made a rule to not touch anything non-commercial. So basically those photos cannot be normally re-published, since almost everyone has some commercial element included in their outlet, and then you are in the grey zone.
Yes this looks like a good idea. But i wanted the reminders also to be able to display in that quick toolbar rather opening another app(Reminders). It would be nice to merge them and show or choose a list that we wanted to show.

I find it funny that people don’t think computers can be artists, yet get fooled by paintings “painted” by an animal walking over the paint or a toddler or other such things. I think they’re just snobs.

To me, anything that can evoke an emotion from someone looking at the art piece (even if just appreciation) is art. Computer-generated content can do this for me, therefore I consider it art.
I think IPFS is a great technology, and the protocol appears to be fairly well designed but to be frank, I tried to use go-ipfs and it is a very junky implementation. There are numerous issues that show an overall lack of good quality standards in the codebase.

- Pin management is far to simple for any real use case.

- GC is a complete GC on an arbitrary threshold.

- API is based on the CLI and really weird (ex GET /api/v0/cp?arg={src}&arg={dest}, why don't the parameters have names? Why is it GET?)

- They don't prove a way to upload a directory with references to existing IPFS objects, so you need to manually encode the data.

- The manual encoding uses go-style names, they seem to have let their language choice leak into the protocol.

- Lots of minor issues, such as the API implementing block size limits by simply cutting off the input data at the size limit, this is even before encoding it into the format where the size limit should be calculated and cause data corruption in some cases.

- Their one abstract API for creating directories (MFS) has a number of issues.

- It is incredibly slow for some reason.

- It kindof but not really automatically pins all content recursively references.

There are other weird choicess such as their directory sharding using hashing. It isn't clear to me which use case this improves over a btree but someone probably thought it sounded cooler. Additionally the sharding appears to be a single layer of sharding which means that it still has a size limit (just larger).

I ended up sinking a ton of time into https://gitlab.com/kevincox/archlinux-ipfs-mirror/ and in the end the number of small quirks were incredibly frustrating. I might go back and implement their hash-sharding logic to get the mirror working again but at this point I don't really want to interact with go-ipfs again.

I thought it would be an interesting project to get involved in, and I have a lot of expertise that would be valuable however it appears that it is all a bit of a mess which is a real shame.

Maybe with more success it can be re-written in cleaner fashion, as I said most of the issues are with the implementation not the protocol so there is definitely hope. I do honestly wish all of the success to the project.

That seems quite bad. It's a graphic example of how when it comes to public schools, or public policy in general, things get dumbed down to the lowest common denominator in the interest of "fairness" regardless of how unfair it is for those who are ready and able to do more. I don't know how that would get fixed, other than, as you said, moving to private. When you are paying directly (versus indirectly via taxation) you can demand a lot more.

A) That’s from 2014. The market has changed

B) I do not trust AirBnB to not lie or twist the numbers; they have an enormous incentive to do so

C) This does not align with my experience, having both rented and lived near units that were clearly taken off the market for purely short term rental.
That's great, but my doctor calls every week from an "unknown number" to check in with me and I have to get that call, I can only assume that's some kind of NHS voip solution for calling patients, so even if I wanted to I can't whitelist their number.
I feel the same. So many cool things I'd love to learn about, but not enough time.

I try not to cut myself off the information, but instead I change the way I process it and interact with:

1. Minimize the time spent discovering the information.

Obvious step here is using RSS so you can read about interesting stuff when you feel like it, not when it appears in your news feed.

Another thing I'm doing is setting up search alerts for topics that interest me, so I can look at them once in a while (e.g. once in two weeks),
skim through and bookmark the most promising ones for reading later.
I'm using a tool I wrote myself that can search over hackernews, reddit, twitter, github, etc. for topics that interest me and convert to RSS feeds. It's kinda like Google search alerts, but nicer. I haven't documented it properly yet though, but started it here [0].

2. Prioritize reading, don't read immediately

For example, I would only read Reddit once a week, going through the weekly top (and all of new posts for some select subreddits).
On the first pass, I only bookmark stuff, I don't read it immediately (unless it's something really exceptional, or it makes sense to comment as soon as possibile). Another benefit is that I can also do it on the go, without spending mental resources on proper reading.

Now and then I would go through the list of saved items, and choose what I want to read next. That way it doesn't feel like I'm missing out on anything, I'm aware of the information and can find it in in case I want to catch up later.

Most apps offer a pretty horrible experience for such workflow (i.e. you can't put priorities/reorder/search), so I've got my own workflow using org-mode to process the information. That way I can also leave comments, or refile it in my knowledge base immediately. I'm describing it in more details here [1]

3. Make it easy to find information

One big thing that reduces my FOMO is knowing that I can instantly find whatever interests me on my filesystem when I need it.
I describe my system and setup here [2]. You can also get a glimplse at the public part of my wiki/knowledge base here [3]

I could have missed it, but I've never seen a suggestion not to overlap network addresses unless you want to peer them.

If you're launching ephemeral networks for testing VMs / virtual appliances in their own, isolated networks, it can be totally feasible to have lots of them using the same addresses. You can only create 5 VPCs (at all) by default per AWS account, but they'll raise that limit for you if you request it.

I'm not someone who flagged your comment and I wasn't accusing you of being a douche.

I'm not a founder. I am a long time member who has been here more than a decade and I'm probably best known as a subject matter expert on homelessness. This is one of my blogs that is intended to be a resource for trying to address the issue of homelessness because the LGBTQ community is at very high risk of homelessness.

Between my old handle and this one, I have more than 50k karma, so some people recognize my name and sometimes they check out my posts for that reason. But with 5 million visitors a month to HN, plenty of people have no idea whatsoever who I am.

It's not really a touching story. If you read through the blog, I was targeted by someone who treated me horribly. This person just so happens to be trans and I learned a lot about trans issues in the course of knowing her, but I got badly burned.

"Grist for the mill" and all that. I do my best to separate my anger at how this specific individual mistreated me from what I learned about trans issues because of them and I try to use that knowledge to provide resources for a high risk population because it's clear to me that if you want to reduce homelessness, you need to address the needs of the LGBTQ community.
I don't question it's essential to learn what you point out, but that school as it exists and is organized now is maybe not the best, or at least the only way fit-all approach for education + socializing. On the education I'm sure it's not. On the socializing part I clearly didn't make much of it but maybe I'm lightly on the spectrum so it didn't help.

I read this essay a few years ago and it really resonated, it does obviously a way better job at putting my feeling into words: http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html
I'm sad to have to agree. I tried ddg as my primary search engine for about 3 months. By the third month I was just adding !g by default because I just wanted results without testing quality first. Then I realized how silly it was to use it for almost every search, which I'd been doing for about a week, and switched back.
I’ve heard of one a few years ago where there was a painting in the background that eventually was used to identify the hotel and then the hotel records could be used to tie it to a person. It was a number of years ago so I don’t remember the details to look them up.

I’m not sure how effective it is overall, and am certainly wary of anything privacy-eroding, but I do remember reading that story around the time it happened.
>I just miss being around other my coworkers

One outcome I expect will be fairly common is that some subset of people will happily rush back to the office as soon as it's safe to do so. And they'll find out that many of their coworkers aren't in nearly as big a hurry to shift back to the office full-time and will shift to continue working remotely a significant percentage of the time.

Will depend on the company and the work of course. But I suspect that people who really like to have their whole team physically with them on a day-to-day basis aren't going to like the shift that will happen in many cases.
After reading the title, I was hoping that the article would be not about advertising, but about technical writing - whether in communication (email) or documentation (internal or public).

Good writing is paramount for both of these contexts. From good text formatting to realizing what the audience is and adjusting level of detail and pace accordingly.
Farmers haven't been hard working in decades. There's a reason most farmers are obese, sitting isn't hard work. Even when I was a kid everyone around here still did square bales of hay and tossed them around by hand. Now it is 100% round bales handled with a loader. As everything got bigger, there was simply no possibility of human involvement because people can't lift 800 pounds.

I haven’t visited other countries, but I do working visits every other month when I see my family. Best benefit is keeping normal structure/routine while having more time to visit.
I don’t think you can charge Monopoly prices when the barrier to entry is so low. Without robot cars anyone can compete locally with Uber. With robot cars they win, but again not sure they can raise prices much.

I use this link which will open in WhatsApp by default to send a WhatsApp message to someone who is not in my Contacts and don't want to add to my Contacts just to send a WhatsApp message.

It will be a pain in the arse to use for all your contacts and probably not worth the effort as if you use WhatsApp regularly (for an Indian there's no way around it) you will have sent a message to almost everyone on your contact list at least once and Facebook will know about it rendering the whole thing pointless.

Yes, I do, which is exactly why I'd much prefer we work against that issue instead of advocating for making the problem worse.

The American justice system has a chronic issue of prioritizing retribution over rehabilitation, and while I'm thankful to not have been a victim of that myself, I also recognize full well that I'm one of the lucky ones, and that millions of Americans (whether currently incarcerated, or having already "done the time" but still effectively-permanently handicapped from being productive members of society due to having a criminal record) are not so fortunate.
This is not true for business applications and many customer ones.

Antiviral spray that protects surfaces from Covid-19 goes on sale
The problem is that for most gig economy companies, the entire point was to shift a large percentage of the risk onto their quasi-employees, so that they could undercut companies that actually paid benefits and right-sized their staff to meet long term demands. The entire premise, for at least most gig-economy companies, was rotten.

That doesn’t mean that a company that’s genuinely based around providing consumers access to rarely distributed skills and products is necessarily bad. But it’s got to be the kind of service/product that the company couldn’t offer via traditional staffing methods.

>This is a misnomer.

No, I don't think so. Fair Use isn't merely a matter of court precedent, it specifically is in the Copyright Act (17 U.S. Code § 107 [1]), the language of which indicates it's on the plaintiff, and subsequent case law does seem to have affirmed that unless you have something further to cite? What you cited right there was Lenz v. Universal Music Corp, a 9th Circuit decision about abuse of DMCA takedowns, and in turn considering the "under penalty of perjury" aspect of the DMCA not "Fair Use" as a defense in general. The quote you gave was in the context of §512, Judge Tallman wrote that §512 "unambiguously contemplates fair use as a use authorized by the law". But again that's specific to the DMCA, and even there while the 9th seemed to want to try stemming abuse a bit, they only required the plaintiff to show a purely subjective lack of belief in infringement. Which could be without any real consideration of fair use factors at all. As well as being circuit only, analysis at the time indicated that if anything it might encourage copyright holders specifically to do as little as possible to consider fair use. Lenz did appeal to SCOTUS on that question but certiorari was not granted. Harvard Law had a fairly in-depth looking analysis [2].

In contrast for the 9th Circuit specifically in Perfect 10 v. Amazon/A9.com/Google [3] they explicitly covered Fair Use as an affirmative defense where the burden was on the plaintiffs:

>C. Fair Use Defense

>Because Perfect 10 has succeeded in showing it would prevail in its prima facie case that Google’s thumbnail images infringe Perfect 10’s display rights, the burden shifts to Google to show that it will likely succeed in establishing an affirmative defense. Google contends that its use of thumbnails is a fair use of the images and therefore does not constitute an infringement of Perfect 10’s copyright. See 17 U.S.C. § 107.

Additionally, I can find modern SCOTUS opinions such as in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music which support Fair Use as an affirmative defense:

>The fair use factors thus reinforce the importance of keeping the definition of parody within proper limits. More than arguable parodic content should be required to deem a would-be parody a fair use. Fair use is an affirmative defense, so doubts about whether a given use is fair should not be resolved in favor of the self-proclaimed parodist.

It'd be nice if plaintiffs were required to demonstrate as part of a suit that there was not a fair use defense for the defendants, but I really don't think that's the case nationally right now.

I don't get it, do you think kids in public school do not interact with shopkeepers?
I have mostly de-googled myself. For search I mainly rely on DuckDuckGo, but as many people have pointed out sometimes DuckDuckGo doesn't cut it. When that happens I either use Google or Startpage.

I usually use Google when I want information about a business near me. I haven't tested this thoroughly but I think Google does a better job of getting and presenting phone numbers, accurate store hours, etc.

For email I'm a big fan of Fastmail. The service is great and the web UI is fast and easy to use. For storage I also rely on Fastmail - their standard plan comes with 30 GB of storage. They also provide calendars, notes, and contacts.

My personal phone is an iPhone. I didn't intentionally switch a while back - my android phone broke and my family had an iPhone I could use. I've stuck with it since then, I like the overall experience. I don't currently use any of the Apple Cloud services. It's been rough connecting my phone to my Linux laptop, but I've found the best way to handle it is to just have a Windows VM for uploading music to and downloading photos from my iPhone. I know there's https://www.libimobiledevice.org/ but it looks like it only works for images.

For music I either use Spotify, Bandcamp, or ripping CDs. I never tried out Google Music.

The one thing I haven't found a good replacement for has been YouTube. I'm definitely going to check out some of the suggestions people have made in this thread regarding that.
It was certainly an interesting phenomenon, however I'd be wary of applying any scientific significance to it. In a videogame, there is no penalty for death, and it was expected for players to infect others "for the lulz", which wouldn't be the case for real world epidemics.
