Yeah read my comments a little more carefully. I have stated that I 100% agree that women need a separate league to compete in. I was advising the poster I replied to originally that he will get a lot better results stating the facts without the really gross “transwomen are men that are losers” angle. It’s really hard agreeing with y’all when you are assuming I’m disagreeing and arguing against a point I didn’t make.

If you really care about women’s leagues then it’s probably best not to frame the issue as “transwomen are male losers.” You will not win support with that approach.
An interesting side effect of an earlier policy means that the sponsored ads for extensions will not be able to be blocked. Firefox extensions are prevented from operating on AMO. This is or was to ensure malicious addons can't interfere with its operation.

Now, it also means Mozilla is in the enviable position of offering ads to Firefox users which can not be blocked by Firefox ad blocking extensions.

Put another way, if you want to browse AMO ad free, you will need to use a different browser.
Ditto; I had a couple friends that were identical friends, and it only took a few days of interaction I think to start consistently differentiating them -- and I have terrible memory of people.

They're identical for the most part, but there's always obvious cues; how they walk, different expressions/reactions, different tones when talking, slightly different slang, etc. It's like a deterministic lockstep game that desynchronized when they were born -- the desync slowly but surely cascades.

> they forced Apple to make changes to their app review process.

It's worth keeping Hey's response to those changes in mind[0]:

> "What they've given out is actually so far very little. Apple has said that you can appeal to Apple if you want Apple to investigate Apple. OK, maybe there's something there, but it hinges on what those verdicts are going to be"

> "We did not want a fight with Apple whatsoever," Hanssen said. "We just need to get on the iPhone, it's the dominant platform for these kinds of services."

I guess I agree; different people have different definitions of "win", and I'm not going to fight with you if that fits your definition. I am going to say that even if this is a win, Hey isn't pushing the envelope or moving Apple in any significant direction.

This is not an efficient or reasonable way for us to change how Apple approaches device ownership, and it's not clear to me how a company like Hey can force Apple to make the jump from "we'll be slightly nicer about approving apps" to "consumers will own the devices they buy and have the option to control the code that runs on them."

Call this a victory if you want, but we need bigger victories than this.

> WordPress is another example of a small company who "won"

Sure, they got an apology from Apple while Apple was being sued by a billion dollar company over their app store policies and worried about looking bad for that lawsuit.

But it's kind of the same situation as above. I guess you can call it a win, but forgive me for not being too excited about an outcome where Apple says 'sorry that you misunderstood us' to one company. I don't think that's going to have a significant impact on user's ability to own and control their own devices.

It would be interesting to see someone just do it in the U.S. as well. A couple of guys with some amber flashing lights on their trucks. One with a bucket truck, another with big spool of fiber; guys with hard hats and safety vests. Cops aren't going to stop and ask questions. Maybe a telco guy driving by might ask a supervisor if they even cared enough about it. Just have guys that can actually do it correctly so the finished work doesn't look suspicious.

Once it is up, the regulations will work for you. Some day, some other "legit" installer will come by and look at the cable and basically shrug their shoulders at it, and then do their work around it. It would take weeks if not longer to find out nobody knows who owns it. Nobody's going to take the time to trace it back. And I'm guessing nobody is going to just take it down for fear of taking the wrong thing down. Maybe they cut the line and wait around to see who comes to splice it?? It would make for an entertaining story.

I mean, the idea of a Universal Code of Conduct, as far as I can tell, is actually an interesting new one.

However, it reads like it's been written entirely by Californian twenty somethings, and it looks like there is no input from foreign language users, only direct translations from English.

I would _love_ to see what people would come up with if this was a different process where each language came up with their own, and then there was a process of mediation.

But, AFAIK, that didn't happen, because these things always come from the top down as a way of creating and solidifying control for the educated upper class types.
Thanks for the newsflash, fellow genius. So are you saying that the number of people killed by Covid isn't known, and the number of people killed by flu each year isn't known, so we basically have no valid data and can't compare the two diseases in any meaningful way?

Proper spelling is desired.

“Fanboys”, not “fanbois”.
* Entire forests are cleared to grow soy. Animals living in those forests die or migrate and then die from hunger from lack of resources.

* Commercial, at-scale plantations kill a huge number of insects, and animals, like rodents and field mice by pesticide use and by machinery during harvests.

* Commercial farming pollutes the rivers and water table, because of the run offs of pesticides. Which makes animals sick (people are a subset of animals here).

On the other hand, meat production does not need to be harmful at all, and in fact, can have the opposite effect of healing the land.

Look at Joel Salatin's farms. He is the model for proper meat production and has been featured in countless docs and books. His farms are fully integrated with nature. Yes the product costs more, but that is a feature, not a bug. The product is of much higher quality, and you need less of it to get the same benefits as you would from factory-farming raised meat. Because it is more expensive people will naturally eat less of it, which is ok and is also a feature.

The problem is that American government was subsidizing terrible farming practices for a very long time and all food became too cheap. Everything is raised and produced with shortcuts and external costs that are not accounted for. That is the root cause of all issues.

Switching from meat to soy will not fix the problem, because soy is and will be subsidized even more, if there is more demand for it. The soy industry will get stronger and lobby for more subsidies and they'll get them, like they get them for everything else.

And yes, factory farms need to go! It is way too centralized and is actually a danger to society in many ways. Farms need to be decentralized and operated by a higher number of smaller operators. The economy of farming will be healthier and more diverse overall.

It's also probably because we know more about how to treat people with the virus. At first ventilators was the go-to plan for people with difficulty breathing, until it was shown that ventilators were either not very useful or even detrimental. At first we didn't realize quite how bad it was for the elderly. The reason that Sweden had so many deaths at first and now virtually none is because there were breakouts in nursing homes at the beginning. Similarly in the US some states (eg. New York, New Jersey) required nursing homes to admit people who have been tested positive for the virus. Now the leaders of those states realize how bad that is and are better protecting the elderly.

It doesn't really address the actual problems on Wikipedia - things like people "owning pages", or people contributing incorrect information, or people appointing themselves as the arbiter of what is and isn't useful (or correct) information.

In my entire time contributing I've never even once, been aware of the other person's physical characteristics, or social standing. So it seems rather pointless to include those (although I guess harmless).

What I would like for a COC is things like not demeaning other people's contributions by just removing them with barely even a comment, or just a dismissive one.

This article is very out of date.

I used it for research in a project month ago and found many of the chips it mentions are end of life / discontinued now. The prices of those chips (if available) are actually higher due to their shortages.

Realistically very few fresh project starts look at the cost of the controller (in fact most EE's are completely abstracted from it) and put more consideration toward E2E LTMC costs which includes things like firmware updates, wifi or network diagnostics, etc. I see a lot of companies going towards Linux-os and RaspberryPI-esque clones simply for the ease of development and debugging -- except when power, heat or space are important factors.

At this point the Amtel ATMega & STM32 chips pretty much dominate the hackerspace projects thanks to the libraries and strong ecosystems.
As near as I can tell all the other vendors are a rounding error in marketshare of new product starts.
Note: I'm excluding things like auto and appliances along with other entrenched industries who probably consume a ton of those $1 chips because they've already invested heavily in them 10+ years ago.
I mean, you can't just call any attempt to impose structure on social formations "HRification." You're ignoring social contract theory and the liberal history and philosophy of governance over the past 400 years.

Dismissing legitimate concerns by calling them "lazy" and "sceptics" is unhelpful.
Stating your technology is safe due to "science and engineering" without explaining the science/engineering is unhelpful.

There is real people who have real concerns that if they accidentally pass thought the beam of power then they will be cooked.

If the safety of you technology is based on it being installed in such a way that no one would accidentally pass through the beam then you need to explain how that is done.

if the safety is because it is just not dangerous to pass through the beam then you need to explain why that is and if there is a time limit on how long it is safe to stay in the beam.

If you are incapable of addressing safety concerns to a technical crowd like hacker news then I don't see how you would convince the general public to be cool with this.

Just to keep beating a dead horse, stating something is safe because "science and engineering" is pretty much the modern day way of saying because "magic".

No. If you look at an STM32 manual, they can be > 1k pages as you need that much information including the errata to truly use a part. MCUs with < 100 page manuals will rely on YOU finding the bugs and working around them.

Hah, yes, wrong thread.
For me, I think the enjoyable thing about Murakami's books isn't necessarily the story line in the traditional sense. The story lines are always wacky, surreal, etc. But the things that captivate me are the characters and world-building. The characters are deep. He does a really good job explaining what they're thinking and where they come from. In such surreal stories, they're surprisingly rational and consistent.

I also feel like a lot of the author himself comes through the pages. You'll read a lot of really detailed descriptions of that jazz bar that one character visited (Murakami owned a jazz bar for some time). He talks a lot about cats (a cat lover, for sure), and all of the protagonists are males that have really similar personalities.
I've been fascinated by the mechanisms behind human facial recognition ever since I read Peter Watts 'Blindsight'. Near the end he introduces an idea similar to the Chernoff face[1], plots of multivariate data in the shape of a human face. The idea is that humans are so keyed into recognizing subtle nuances in facial expressions, we're better at interpreting mulitvariate data graphed as a facial expression.
Some interesting parts from this interview:

- She surprisingly claims that she's not good at recognizing emotions.

- She can recognize adults based on how they looked as children. This suggests there's a sort of 'fuzzing' process that allows her to interpolate aging.

At least for CO2 emissions it looks like they're roughly on par with each other. Impossible Foods claims a 3.5 kg CO2-eqv. per kg product[1]. For chicken meat, the emissions depend a lot on how and where they're raised, but according to this UN report[2] it's roughly 2.7-8 with an average of ~5.4. It's a bit lower for eggs at 2-5 with an average of ~3.7.

EDIT: This study[3] has a more detailed breakdown which roughly matches the numbers from the UN report. For meat: 2.3-12, average 5.7, median 4.3. For eggs: 2.6-7.6, average 4.2, median 3.8

I agree on this, it's unfortunate that the article focuses on that story first... towards the end, it mentions other stories that are more wholesome (e.g. the story about the wife who left messages around the house for his surviving husband to find) but I guess that unfortunately negativity "sells" better.

Edit - nowadays, considering our shortened attention span, that editorial choice is even more unfortunate (as opposed to 20-30 years ago when news consumption happened offline and in a different fashion - and probably a higher percentage of readers would end up reading the whole article).

Litigation had just begun and you believe the judge has already made a ruling on standing?

Sorry I don't know where you got this idea but that's now how the legal system works.

Do feel free to quote a written ruling from the judge if you think I am off base. A binding ruling on standing which Apple has had the chance to appeal to the Supreme Court.

You do know the trial judge isn't even the final judge that would decide on an issue of standing, correct? Not only is your claim implausible, but a lower court judge doesn't have the final say on standing even if your claim was true.
Not if you remove the inefficient conversion in the middle. The whole argument is, cattle is inefficient conversion of plant based sources into meat.[1] If instead, we just eat the plant based sources, we would need to grow less of them. Also, we don't really need to restrict ourselves to soy, there are other plant based foods to eat. There are cultures which are dominated by vegetarian food, so we don't even have a lack of recipes to cook.
