>2. You've purchased free range dairy products

Free range or not, cows still need to be artificially inseminated (read: industry term to fancy dress "cow rape"), the calves still need to be weaned off after only a few weeks with their mothers (once the colostrum part is over) and/or be given formula milk substitute while humans drink what's rightfully the calf's. Leaving the calf with the cow is absolutely not profitable. Also, the mother cow needs to be culled after only 5-6 years of living because they cannot bear children after that; cows naturally live for up to 20 years. Free range cows still end up in the same slaughter house, so you're indirectly funding the beef industry. Oh, and by the way, if the calf is a male, it's killed right away or sold to the veal industry.

It's disgusting and cruel regardless of how much space the cow had to roam in; every other aspect of its life was miserable. Not knowing this is okay, but if you're reading this and the sibling comments, you really have no excuse any more.
Agreed. Went on the search for knife sharpening tools on Amazon, and quickly discovered that some looked like copies of others. The copies would look identical in the pictures, and have a huge amount of 5 star reviews. Then as I drilled into it I saw a large amount of problem reports.

Decided to just not buy anything from Amazon that day.

(Have found them really useful for other things though. And Prime Shipping in Australia is great.)
No, using religious icons to facilitate waste management is disrespectful, full stop.

This makes sense. Thanks for the recommendation.
Not really. The repo is still MIT. He said he won’t make further changes, but hasn’t set up his project with a different license.

It seems like his current take is just seeking patronage to keep working on an MIT project.

I think this happens quite a bit, but not normally this way. There are lots of companies who employ people with the sole purpose of writing for MIT/Apache/BSD projects. So I guess that’s a form of patronage.

I hope this guy gets what he likes. I’ve never heard of this project, but it has at least 26k people who liked it enough to star it on GitHub. Not sure how that will ever equate to 100k+/year.
why a Cypriot passport he can live in France or Germany or Italy or any other EU state. But Cyprus provides passports quickly. Malta and Portugal are also quite good in this regard.
I draw the distinction between what socialism is meant to be and what socialism usually, in my opinion becomes, which is an unchallengable power base for vested interests. The rules a rigged against you and me because we aren't on the inside, friends with the power, which is usually beurocrats in socialist states. You do something faster, better, cheaper and still fail. Notice this kind of thing is not Bernie Sanders who barely qualifies as anything remotely socialist outside of the USA. Having competition where companies and whole industries go broke and shut down with their assets sold off to those who can use them better has been thought of as a useful counter-measure to this. When there is regulatory capture destroying that competition you get the worst of all worlds.

It's not captitalism, it looks more to me like bad socialism. My socialist friends would say it's not remotely socialism it looks more like captialism and this is what always happens in captialism. Just about everyone says it stinks and needs fixing. Bezos doesn't. Murdoch doesn't. They say this is the best that can possibly be because everything else is worse, which is probably true with respect to their power and influence. I don't see it as true in any other dimension. It needs fixing. Someone will ride that desire to fix it to political power. I hope that person turns out to be a decent human being rather than a genuine facist which President Trump was not and is not, whatever else are his many faults.
I literally just got a postcard offering a $10 reward for a 5 star review for a phone case I paid $9 for.

- You run into copyright issues, because unless you duplicate a commercial UEFI (SMBIOS and all that good stuff) within the VM you'll be detected.

- You run into performance issues - virtualization's speed depends on paravirtualized drivers, which are readily identifiable (e.g. "virtio" disk controller). These can be emulated instead of paravirtualized but will cost performance. Windows drivers are signed so you can't just change names of things.

- Chipsets - some are often emulated by VMs. For example, if you are running a system in 2020 and are using an Intel 440BX chipset, it's probably a VM.
We aren't having a coherent conversation here.

I mentioned two things: (1) the bigger issue, h264 decoder, Cisco already paid royalties for OpenH264 (when linked to their binary) so they simply have no real excuse for not having H264 decoding on Linux (2) lack of CPU encoder on Linux (it's not clear to me why you're bringing up Adobe since it has nothing to do with encoding on Linux), x264 is the gold standard for encoding H.264. NVENC isn't. The x264 binary can be shipped with proprietary products and they also offer a licensing option for linked usage. Similar comparison (NVENC vs x265) goes for H.265.
I don't know about the ones that are meat-like - that is never my goal (and impossible burgers seem too fatty for my tastes). But I can make something good tasting at home - one of the better ones has brown rice and chickpeas as the main ingredients.

I'm going to guess McDonald's veggie burgers will have a decent amount of processing: I don't know how that compares to processing hamburger patties. We are, after all, comparing hamburger patties to pucks of veggie material instead of veggie burgers vs steak.
You don't have a right to know my medial records.

So no, truth is not a human right.

If I know a zero day in your product you have no right to that knowledge.

You have no right to access newspapers for free.

You have no right to the truth. Certainly not a basic human right.

If your question is really the right to not be lied to, have fun with all the religions you'd have to restrict, except the correct one. Plus you'd have to kill Santa.
Yes, but why? I am not being a pedant. My task is to convince students to use pencil and paper from having been raised on a lifetime of digital. They require more than a simple (and true) observation. What is it about pen and paper that provides more focus? What is the mechanism at play?
Products with bad reviews sell more than products with no reviews. No reviews is the worst.

Amazon used to allow asking for "honest" reviews if it was mentioned in the review that it had been solicited. They changed that policy a year or two ago and as a result the whole review business went underground.
I'm more time sensitive than price sensitive. My reasoning is more along the lines of: given the trouble of migrating to a new device, why not get the latest? Getting a 4a would probably also cut the support lifetime a new-to-me device by a year or so.
Yeah, four days is ridiculously fast. It should be like 2 weeks or something so people can prepare for it (eg. get an old phone from a friend/relative, transfer their photos and other data).

I'm OK with the general concept, provided the consequences of missing a payment are stated clearly in clear language.
I tried some great vegan cheese substitutes but these days I just heat soy cream/soy milk with nutritional yeast,a bit of miso and a bit of tapioca starch and pour it over the pizza. For the mouth feel of "something cheesy on top" this is more than enough
The market has solved this.

But consumers are short-sighted and irrational. They'll buy the cheap HP inkjet printer rather than a laser printer because all they look at is the upfront cost.

The free market makes this worse. Ideally, HP should be sued for false advertising when they sell you something with the promise something is free for life, then take it away in less than a year.
Yes, there's a very deep correspondence. My RustLab talk is about pretty much exactly this topic.

And you tell them which suppliers are good or bad by reviewing your seller.

You’re doing the equivalent of leaving DoorDash a bad review on the App Store because you didn’t like the takeout you ordered.

What would be some practical alternative model architectures one could use? I've seen EfficientNet be used fairly often (apart from ResNet/ImageNet etc.) in transfer learning.
I used gather as part of a social gathering with my university cohort and enjoyed it. Only oddity for me was one situation where a group of 3 of us had the person in the 'middle' hearing both, but the two on the outside could only hear or see the middle person. We tried expanding the 'circle range' thingy but then could hear the conversation happening across the room. I wish there was some way to make that whole process slightly more fluid.
I have an HD Homerun and Plex. I've used this setup numerous times to stream college football games that were broadcast OTA when I was away from home for one reason or another.
Just wanted to plug bookshop.org. It benefits local bookstores and my shopping experiences have been positive. There are other great sites out there, too, if you're willing to buy used or can tolerate slower shipping.

I get the appeal of amazon.com though because their prices are competitive and the shipping is usually consistently fast. I just like local bookstores.
You bring up a really point here, and it's something we haven't spent nearly enough time on. What are the kinds of body language that you think are really important in real life, that make it easy to break into a conversation?

> The link points to the Wikipedia page of the "Assassination of Jamal Khashoggi". Do you have a link to the Saudi Arabian government admitting to murdering Khashoggi?

"Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told Fox News "the murder" had been a "tremendous mistake" and denied the powerful crown prince had ordered it.

Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Saudis, under intense pressure to explain Khashoggi's whereabouts, have offered conflicting accounts.

They initially said he had left the consulate on 2 October - but on Friday admitted for the first time he was dead, saying he had been killed in a fight. This claim met widespread scepticism."[0]

The problem I've always encountered with this (which I 100% agree with), is that I've never met anyone in a decision making position who's cared or been open to discussing it. Most places seem to just pick something because they heard it's used by Facebook or Google, and they think cargo culting those companies might make them successful too.

Usually, any disagreement is seen as either contrarian or ignorant, and you end up building an over engineered monstrosity because that's what they want.
Is this really a "correction"? It's not as though other parts of the Bible (or Koran) explicitly repeal said forbiddance (even though the most popular interpretations prefer to see it that way)
Likewise. I was tinkering with Arduino already but his videos got me hooked.
But Amazon doesn't care about your 1 star review. Asking customer support to comp you because your order was late does a lot more to their bottom line than a bad review on a product they don't even make or ship.
This is gorgeous! I'm going to have to spend more time with this. Very interesting approach

Presumably you aren't in dispute with everyone, so you can use a phone from a company other than the one you're in dispute with.

Eg. If you're an ex-Google employee or contractor, use a personal iPhone without any Google apps on them.
Yep, one of the core value propositions for bringing in consultants is “they tell the exec what your staff already know. But because it cost a lot of money to have them say it people are more likely to listen”

It’s a real service that provides real value. But companies can avoid the cost if they have a strong culture of trust internally (which is no simple thing to foster)

Apparently they use Beyond Burger for the base which makes the naming make even less sense because they had lots of naming options with that.

"Big Mac Beyond" would have been way more interesting/ appealing than McPlant.
Every year I order over $50-100k worth of products for myself and my clients (servers, electronics etc.)

Every single 1 star review I've ever left was deleted. I have amazon prime american express card too. It is not like I am not a new customer. Last year alone I have 400 orders alone with 1000+ products. I don't bother leaving reviews.

I found nearly all cleaning supplies 1/3 of the price at Home Depot. Dog food also cheaper at PetSmart. To me, amazon is no longer the #1 option and I no longer buy unknown brands from it.

If there is a law mandating open sourcing in case like this because if they don't there is jail time for fraud, companies would engineer their products for such a case. That would put pressure on hardware vendors to develop open source drivers (btw, why not, they already sell the hardware?) etc.
i am glad the developer is getting paid, and i'm abstractly thrilled at the success of pico-8, which looks like a very nice project and has from all accounts spawned a fun game dev and gamer community around it. i enjoy reading articles about it, and about the people in the community. i just can't bring myself to personally care about using it, though.

this has nothing to do with feeling entitled to get things for free, it's more an internal feeling that computing has divided itself into an interesting and vibrant ecosystem of open source software, and proprietary products that are in some sense the equivalent of a neighbourhood diner - they might actually be very nice, and are surely of interest to people who live in said neighbourhood, but they are never going to be relevant to me in any real way. being closed just sucks all the excitement out of things - i can, as you say, sit back and enjoy it the way i would a piece of art, but i can't summon up any enthusiasm about using it.

(if there were a book about it i would totally buy and read that, though; i do enjoy the fact of its existence and the community around it, and stories about its development and growth continue to be fascinating.)
There's a story.
An isolated native from a South American jungle met a researcher and was taken to the city for the first time. He saw a traffic policeman on the street and asked who is that, why is he dressed like that, why are people following his direction etc.

When explained, he thought immediately the idea sounded great. In their tribe, they got locked into spirals of revenge. He said he wished they could have police in the jungle as well.

Many societies have decided to respect some common rules. Sometimes it means that someone as a person can't quite do what they would like to do. That is the price.

The societies not being able to organize well were overrun by others, more organized ones. Sometimes the rules were changed.
Burger King impossible burger is the worst thing I've ever had. I don't know whether this is as good as it gets or it wasn't prepared correctly. It was awful, though, and more expensive than other sandwiches.
Data is not meaningful in and of itself. What matters is what that data signifies, i.e. how it changes the reader's understanding of the world.

It doesn't matter if the data is made up if what it signifies is complete nonsense anyway. If their goal was to commit fraud they would obfuscate their deceit, not make it a google search away from clearly being a hoax. Your definition of fraud is so broad that it removes any responsibility of due diligence from the reader, which is the entire point of having a peer review process in the first place.
The major difference is that for wifi, you need to setup your connection to whatever wifi network is provided. With your cell data service, that happens automatically for you. You don't need to go in and explicitly join some guest network and sign their ToS.

Maybe if there was some "cell->wifi" standard that could happen, but I'm somewhat doubtful about the benefits there. You'd also have to be super careful, for the same reason you wouldn't really want to join a random open network.

Jamal was not a journalist. He was an opinion piece writer for the wapo. He was also working for the Qatar government to undermine saudi interests. It's alleged that Qatar was sending him outlines of what articles to publish and paying him to do so.

Not that he deserved what happened or that Saudi Arabia isn't terrible for killing him but I wouldn't put him on some alter as a journalistic martyr.
It's hard to claim something is evidence or counter-evidence of anything in social science. Once you add one or more brains, the complexity skyrockets quite quickly.

I think it's a terrible idea for (at least) three reasons:
- More money is being forcefully redistributed from people that produce work to people who don't produce. This will make people lazier and less entrepreneurial. Yes, I'm against any form of taxation for the same principle and I think the terrible corporate lifecycle is caused primarily by people not being entrepreneurial enough.
- Taxes will increase, pushing businesses even more outside of here.
- The more money you give to bureaucrats the more they will keep for themselves, the more they will waste, the more will not go to the economy.
Yet when we buy from them, we’d like real product reviews. (I do buy there few times a year).
That's due to poverty, not vegetarianism. If anything, being vegetarian in India is (loosely) associated with wealth and the higher priestly castes.
Rich people don’t liquidate due to the huge tax consequences. They would purchase derivatives to de-risk their portfolio.
The annoying thing is - the Pixel software experience is just really good. I love the call interception feature, the photos are uniformly great, all the Google-y AI stuff is somewhat useful.

I can't get that on any other Android phone, and this year's Pixel seems good but not top-of-line. Honestly I wouldn't upgrade unless otherwise incentivized, but I'm making the switch to iPhone for the first time. This is a bummer since Android is finally a great platform.

There is an insidious and perhaps even more blatant pay-for-review industry in B2B software: Capterra, G2Crowd, TrustPilot, etc.

They all promise "unbiased reviews" but aggressively offer a company's "confirmed users" a variety of small fiduciary benefits to leave a review (gift card here and there).

Then, they upsell the B2B vendor on the ability to manipulate those reviews; e.g., you pay an extra fee to triage negative reviews by telling customer support "nope, not a confirmed user - please remove."

For whatever reason (probably sheer traffic), these B2B review sites have high domain authority scores. So even where marketing teams agree that paying for reviews is BS — there can arise an incentive to pay for reviews from an SEO perspective.

Realizing that this idea is fraught with challenges for B2B customers and vendors: is there an open source protocol that could anonymously verify that a user is _actually_ a current or former user of a given service?
