Meat substitutes have already become fashionable. They are already in fast food, which makes me doubt that cheap meat will even be food for poor people when emulating the educated middle class is less expensive than eating meat.

Vat-grown meat will have to do better than emulating cheap chicken. Endangered exotic species and ethical cannibalism will be tried. The Kardashians will license their DNA and everyman, for a reasonable price, can eat the rich.
It's terrible when it happens, but it's important not to focus too much on one risk. A software update deleting your work isn't the only risk, and it's probably not the most common risk.

For an iPhone or iPad, the device getting lost or broken is probably the most common issue. Avoiding updates won't be of any help if that happens. Keeping backups will help for more risks.
The interesting problem they solved is building with cantilevers efficiently in the context of a small home. Historically cantilevers were considered exotic and expensive with Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water being one of the few well known examples of residences using cantilevers.
I'm looking at your screenshot on both chromium and firefox, and I can't see a difference in color between the two sides of your picture. I can't see the difference when visiting the website directly either.

Checking the color code with the eyedropper of gcolor2, I see the site is #FCFC04 when checking it directly on both browsers, and in your picture, the right one is #FCFC07, while the left one is #FCFD00.

They all look the same to me though. It's not distinguishable to my eye.
The indictment goes into some detail about his particular role in misleading both the FTC and the new CEO. And he's a former federal prosecutor.

Thank you!

How recently was this change made? I could still do it in 2018, but I wasn't able to do it just now. As you say, no signature on the message, which makes my DMARC record do something useful. That's really great, a huge relief.

The man “rips you off the drugs” ... I suppose I was “on drugs” so being ripped off them as if it were a physical object would makes sense.

Sentry (otherwise a Python application) built their Symbolicator service in Rust because it was a better fit for the domain. Probably also because Armin Ronacher has become a fan of the language and simply wanted to [1]. Now, Sentry is like 100 employees or something, so it's obviously a way more agile organization that Shopify at 10x the size, but having more limited resources is also a reason to avoid spreading yourself too thin.

Ha yes I worked for a company that went public in 1996 with approx 75k of revenue for the previous year.
I understand. I think you need to sub in other activities. This could be something like calisthenics if you want something more technical. There's a German online group called Calimove that have an "At home" workout and also some Calisthenics (starting from basics) levels workouts if you want that. There's some free Youtube stuff, and then there's some paid courses that give exact workouts. If something more basic is what you're after, biking or running.

It's a time of adaptation, and it sucks for sure but it's simply Necessary. If I told you what I'm doing instead of olympic weightlifting you would laugh. However it really helps reduce that exact angst you're describing (which I'm very familiar with as well). I consider physical exercise to be as critical to me as everything else, and absolutely essential for my mental health. I happen to be an introvert as well and feel similarly, btw.

> there is also a technical barrier that works both ways. most don't have the capability to have a regularly updated website with content that otherwise would have been put in the file drawer. and the other side of that coin is what audience will actually find / read it online.

Add to this: the ability to get things indexed properly in google (scholar), easy way to update metadata, server availability, dois, apis, etc. I contract for neliti.com and we provide stuff like this now for orgs/journals and conferences all over the world outside of the US for en, id, tr, ru, uk, es, pt, and ms locale content (pdfs,xmls,docx, datatests, etc.) but mostly a lot of indoensian orgs/journals and conferences, with ~40 using their own custom (sub) domain we route for.

I hope that eventually the landscape moves to a place where these services can be provided for individuals too (lots of upstream stuff like dois requires having an organization which i think is stupid in this day in age where any piece of digital content can easily get an identifier, related org or not).
As I quoted above, a key factor the court will consider is whether the customer knew of the restriction at the time of purchase, could have made an alternative purchase without the restriction, and went ahead and purchased anyway.

A solution would be to extend SMTP with a new verb that allows specifying a domain-related signature prior to message delivery. This would be a hybrid of DMARC and SPF and would allow receivers to very the sender identity independent of the sending IP.
Mixed success. For google it has been somewhat a failure but the business model for disrutpion was exported and a few companies have been able to take root.

A few weed like companies (resiliant but too small) have popped up to cover how the landscape never really changed.
Maybe prescribed burns once every 500 years isn't enough

http://joannenova.com.au/2019/10/california-maybe-prescribed...

There is a big difference between 'burning off' a couple of hundred acres and 'landscape scale fuel reduction', many reports conflate the two. Burning off 800 acres makes no difference when the surrounding 100,000 acres has high unmanaged forest fuel loads.

I was thinking about how I would handle it, were I in the same situation and I think I came upon a decent idea.

1) 90-day disclosure initially
2) assuming communication, I would agree to extend for another 30 days
3) 15 days more
4) 7 days more
5) 3 days more
6) 1 day more
7) 12 hours
8) 6 hours
9) 3 hours
10) 1 hour
11) publish

More work for me, sure, but it doesn't drag out things indefinitely and i think it would have (at the later stages) created a sense of immediacy to get this fixed.
Not as individual meat consumers, no. In the same way we don't see Yanks who bought cotton clothes as evil. It's all we have the choice to buy, really. As a society that breeds living things that are disfigured, can't walk, live in hell, and die... sure, we are evil.

I won't give up meat. I will however do everything in my personal power to vote to end such practices and buy local, even if it means paying more. I think we just need to show more people. The meat industries have done a great job of hiding their awful secrets, often at the legislative level.
I think you hit the nail on the head explaining the dynamic at play here.
It's not you that hurt the users, it's the company for not being able to competently route, schedule, and fix their issue.

This is what we call "revealed preference". It doesn't really matter what ten thousand Uber drivers have told you (and some of the supposed first-hand field surveying claimed in this discussion stretches belief).

The only way I can see us changing the severity of damage is by incorporating fire breaks regularly - but those seem radically unpopular (as evidence by the lack of them in all of California). Maybe more funding for firefighting but I guess that's probably unpopular too... I guess you would have to raise your property taxes.

The plankton shall inherit the ocean.
The structures are gone, but some of the trees are 1800 years old. They didn't get that old by not being able to survive a fire. It's important to accept that fire is a natural part of the ecological cycle in much of California, in fact, aggressive suppression has disrupted the natural cycle and led to more extreme fires.
I wouldn't use France as a model for economic regulations. I love the country, but its economy isn't one of its strong areas. Ironically, many companies in France primarily hire contractors now because of the many onerous regulations around employees. One of Macron's big pushes has been to try to make the French economy more competitive by stripping some of that out, but it's obviously been controversial.

Also, why should a bureaucrat tell me what the appropriate work-life balance is, as an independent contractor? I'll decide that balance for myself, based on my life situation, thanks.
> and the compiler is likely clever enough to choose the best implementation anyway.

Not in my experience. The compiler is likely to be able to do something decent to it, but it'll probably be different.

Consider the following snippets. For unsigned integers they're all equivalent (and return the max of x and m), but gcc with a wide range of flags can't recognize them as identical.

(x<m) * m + (x>=m) * x

(x<m) * (m-x) + x

x<m ? m : x
I don't disagree that a Slack 'backlash' is coming because anything that grows eventually has to stop growing as teams find whatever, NoSQL, NoCode, Slack, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, was not the panacea they thought it was. That's okay.

I thoroughly dislike the basis for the argument. The author does clear it up in the end that Slack isn't the problem, the culture is, but why wrap the story that way just to sound good.

It reminds me of anti-maskers who blame restaurants for forcing them to wear masks. Wrong attribution.

It's been my experience that the newer high efficiency buildings seem to be optimising for that rather aggressively to the detriment of breathable air, because the air in them certainly feels a lot stuffier than in the older ones I've been in. I can certainly see building owners setting the recirculation as high as they can get away with, for the lowest cost.
From the criminal complaint:

> The hackers’ ransom was paid in December 2016 via bitcoin, even though the hackers by that time had refused to sign the NDAs in their true names and had not yet been identified by Uber. Uber’s staff continued to work on identifying the hackers and were able to eventually identify them in January 2017, at which point SULLIVAN dispatched security staff to interview both hackers and obtain signed NDAs from them in their true names.

How did they identify them, and is the DOJ going after the hackers too?

>>50. On August 2, 2018, a Grand Jury in the Northern District of California returned an indictment charging Brandon Charles GLOVER and Vasile MEREACRE with crimes related to extortion involving computers under 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(7)(B) and 1030(c)(3)(A). The indictment alleged that GLOVER and MEREACRE, between December 2016 and January 2017, conspired to extort a online employment-oriented service (“COMPANY ONE”) by obtaining over 90,000 confidential user accounts and using those accounts as a means to obtain money.
where do our current taxes go? CA as a state has one of the highest (or the highest?) tax burden in US. The schools are still awful and we have to rely on prison populations for fire fighting? WTF?
Any CDN is bound to run into thousands of such issues, and yet they survive. What is the difference between tracing a video to a CDN and to a user? In fact, the former should be more straightforward to prosecute, as CDN’s IP is CDN’s, while a physical person is likely to share an IP with others behind the same router, no?
Ask HN: Reporting domain name registrars for abuse inaction?
Namecheap.com has become the domain registrar of choice for SMS scams in Australia. This includes everything from fake news sites encouraging people to download malware to phishing scams.

I’ve reported multiple domains to Namecheap and the “legal” team cares as much as telling me to go bother someone else about it even though it’s in violation of their TOS. Namecheap of course also hides the WHOIS information so it more or less stops any action from being taken.

I’d like to think ICANN requires registrars to be a bit more proactive about abusive domains, so the inaction is fairly confusing.

Is there any way to try to have Namecheap enforce their abuse TOS? As it stands it appears to exist only for show.
Meat substitutes are becoming fashionable, but they are still expensive relative to factory meat, and while some are very good, many taste awful and are not a good substitute nutritionally.

I couldn't even finish the Impossible Whopper when I tried it - taste and consistent of rubber. We tried some substitute chicken recently - taste was good, consistency was good, but then we looked at the ingredients - was basically a ball of flour with some flavoring; not really what I want to serve my kids regularly.

Something I've noticed about the meat substitutes: My family likes them better when they don't try to be meat. As in - when they are flavorful and nutritious on their own rather than attempting to simulate meat, they tend to be better than the options that are trying too hard to pretend to be meat.
Former, unfortunately. I work in tech nowadays.

I don't know why this is such a shock to people reading HN. EULAs have always granted a license to use typically on a single computer. They have never granted a license to own (would gladly be proven wrong if someone has an example). It's not your code. You can't own it. I'm sure they are concerned about having to support the legacy code. Yes, converting to 100% subscription based users, but if they can pull the plug on any responsibility to support old code, that would be ideal for them.
Oof, that sucks to hear. Thanks for letting us know it's not been updated.
This is likely true but modern fires are burning much hotter than historical ones due to the accumulation of brush... it's entirely possible some of them that survived 1000+ years were killed by this latest one.

What outworlder suggested is not that extreme though. Certain scheme implementations are extremely small and you get a lot of advantages from using one for your config files, just look at emacs for example and compare what you can do with it to the notepad++ config. Surely you can see the advantage of being able to do (bind "C-x" (lambda (state) ...)) compared to (bind "C-x" predefinedaction), or the ability to use functions rather than have to duplicate code all over.

Another positive is that it will make modding/shipping custom levels extremely easy. Just ask these that tried to mod (or config) return to castle wolfenstein or wolfenstein: enemy territory.
You're entirely correct, and that's why the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure exists. It's the only way to disclaim contributory liability for copyright infringement as an online service.

An individual user watching a PeerTube video would not be able to do the same thing. The DMCA only protects against infringement liability that other people cause. If you watch an infringing upload, well, that's your liability.
Yeah, I don't think hardcore mode makes much sense for this system. It doesn't do what you want, if what you want is something hard but fair.

> Wildfires are often the tragic manifestation of our global climate crisis.

This was a naturally caused fire in an area where fire is an accepted part of the ecosystem. The buildings were not natural and were removed just like non-native grasses and other species which interfere with the California native species. It sucks, I get it. Many places I've known and loved have been changed by fire, but they come back stronger when the burns are not too frequent which they often are when caused by man.

Anthropogenic global warming is settled science, but at the same time so is the history of climatic variation in California. CA has long periods of dryness, which is why the native plants are so specialized in dealing with it.

I feel for the people affected by the fires and hope they and their belongings remain safe, but let us not forget the long history of fires in CA and the destruction they cause when not planned for. CA is a state of change, and the storms, earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters have and will continue to cause problems. Plans can not save everyone, but plans should be made. Events like this should be kept in the proper perspective so as to educate the public and build awareness which can lead to preservation of lives down the road.
You can run trains much more frequently than every hour or two because you're running a simple service pattern that makes full use of the lines' capacity.

Train travel is much more pleasant than air travel and being able to just turn up and go, and carry your own luggage, is a big part of that. This goes beyond fixing what's not broken - why are you trying to make the pleasant thing like the less pleasant thing?

The idea here is a "unity ticket" which includes both a center-left and a center-right candidate. But who of them is the president and who the vice president? The latter is a purely symbolic role, unless the president dies, resigns or gets impeached. Given that only one person can be president, a truly balanced ticket is impossible.

Everything is incredibly vague. There are no policies, politicians are supposed to pursue strategies not policies. What strategies? Not answered either.

Cynically, I'd suggest that this is about getting email addresses of naive idealists, maybe to pull something like Jill Steins recount crowdfund campaign.
Fires are an important part of seed germination for some varieties of red woods. With semi rural developments, there has been a huge decline in naturally occurring wild fires and controlled burns. This article mentions nothing on forestry management.
