Vegans don't have to be vegan for ethical reasons. They can be vegan for health reasons, or environmental reasons, or any combination of reasons.

Vegans in general choose to not consume animals or (non-human) animal products, by definition. There is a large variety of adherence and some variety in self-definition, just as there is in any common human community.

The Nirvana Fallacy lies in claiming that all vegans are vegan because they wish to be perfectly ethical, or follow a particular definition strictly, and are therefore failing on their own terms.

But vegans in general make no such claim to be perfectly ethical. They are not failing on their own terms - they are failing on your invented terms: ones which only highlight your own cognitive dissonance.
Anyone could make a copy of fantastical and sell it for cheaper with less support. What do you think about such an alternative?
That is an invalid argument. The presence or absence of other means of validating security controls does not affect whether BAS constitutes a means of validating security controls. Justifying a solution because: "What else are you going to do?" is similar to justifying the use of rhino horn as an aphrodisiac prior to the invention of Viagra because: "What else are you going to do? Nothing else is known to work."

The only thing that justifies a validation scheme is its ability to provide an accurate quantitative assessment of the thing being measured that can be translated into business value. In the case of security, this would usually be a quantitative assessment of your security relative to a threat model and actionable information that allows either a more accurate assessment of underlying risk or an indication of where to deploy resources or how to deploy them more effectively.

Personally, even if I accept your claim that it is better than a penetration test and less than a team of penetration testers I do not see how this is very useful. Any substantial threat to a commercial entity can easily round up enough resources to be comparable to a team of penetration testers. As essentially any moderately competent team of penetration testers can completely compromise any commercial entity, the actionable information gained from penetration tests on most commercial systems is: "Your system is hopelessly insecure against substantial threats.". Therefore, inserting another level of threat competence below that allowing you determine if you are "hopelessly insecure against insubstantial threats" vs "hopelessly insecure against substantial threats" is not particularly helpful. It would be like testing bulletproof vests against BB-guns, even if it succeeds, it does not tell you anything useful about its effectiveness against the actual threat.
Better way? I'd be hard pushed to come up with a worse way.

The number of things that are "wrong" with reCatcha etc, have been mentioned on here ad nauseam. In fact, I'll quote myself from another debate on the subject, a while back:

>1: It's never made clear exactly what you're supposed to click on. For example. If I'm told to click on "traffic lights" does that mean just the lights?... or the poles as well?... and what about a square that only has a tiny bit in it? Does that count too, or is it only squares which are mostly filled by the object in question?

>2: They make no concession to non-US English speakers. I've been asked to identify things before, where I had to guess what the word means because the same thing is called something completely different in UK English.

>The only thing that approaches the level of rage that reCaptchas instil in me are those captchas where you've got to transcribe what's in a photo of some letters & numbers and where they NEVER fecking tell you whether it's case sensitive or not, or where they use identical characters for zero and letter O, one and letter I, etc.

People on HN tend to think that Pancer General teaches you about motivations of German WWII commanders. Or that 300 is actually history of Sparta.

I am not even joking here, those are literally apparently upvoted comments I seen.
Animals also die in a lot of vegetable farming too. Lots of small rodents, squirrels, birds, insects and so on grinded up by various farming machinery or poisoned from pesticides, and until we have replicators or scalable permaculture farming we will never escape that.

If 800 rats and fluffy squirrels die violently & painfully for the equivalent amount of veggie nutrition of one cow who is killed ethically, eating grass grown naturally, are their lives worth less? What is the ratio?

Well, I used the word "sometimes" for a reason, not to say that this story was one of those times. It does feel good to do this kind of involved work sometimes, I completely agree. My admonition is that just because it feels good doesn't always make it the right move.

And yeah, I think it's bad to let pride get in the way of doing what makes sense. Just crazy like that I guess!
Those are some great points there. I work with the OpenSource Design group and we often have discussions surrounding topics you described.

It would cost more than that.
Everybody gets the same difficulty initially which you determine as a site admin, so one should base this on their audience (e.g. Gitlab would have a different device profile from a government website).

The solving can be a few times slower on a low end device which you should keep in mind. To aid with this when setting the difficulty for your website it shows you an estimate for various device types. This is indeed a downside of PoW approaches.

There is one factor that helps: you can start solving as soon as the form loads, so as the user enters their details/comment it can start solving - I have a hunch that people on mobile devices are inherently slower at entering their data which should help a bit..

Anyway - if you set the difficulty quite high and the solving takes 30 seconds, it takes the user 15 seconds to enter the form - the user would still have to wait 15 seconds. That's not very different from the time to solve image captchas (it's actually lower and doesn't come with a 2MB payload download which isn't great on phones either, and they can keep their privacy + sanity). You could give the user something to do that makes sense for your website (ask them for feedback?).
If you want to design artwork, Blender is probably the right tool. If you want to design functional items in a similar manner to Fusion360, FreeCAD is probably the best FOSS solution, though it is not as good as Fusion360.
I moved the past 3 companies I work with from GitHub to self-hosted gitlab after the Microsoft purchase.

When Microsoft bought GitHub, all of the "Developer Evangelist" / "Open Source" evangelist crowd made all of those noise about how "Microsoft is great for our community! They ARE an open source company! Everything is wine and roses!"

Blech. I can't do business with evil companies.
> The problem we have with COVID is the people journalists present to us as experts (invariably academics) keep saying incredibly dumb stuff that's totally wrong, and by now many of us have concluded these "experts" don't actually know any more about disease than the man on the street does.

It's not "what journalists say". Those people usually have valid credentials, e.g. when they are the people that developed the first PCR test for the new Coronavirus. I trust such people much more than random people on the street (or on the internet).

> The people you're disagreeing with also disagree about this. I've read a lot of epidemiology papers this year.

Forgive me if I don't find it terribly convincing that someone over the internet is trying to sell me something like this. Many fields of study are really hard to understand without a lot of context. There might be implicit things you might not be aware of. The internet is full of people who think they have found "flaws" in mathematical proofs or have discovered why FLT is true.

But you're also claiming that all the "experts" and all the relevant papers are from epidemiology whereas we also have a lot of contributions from other fields, such as virology or vaccinology.
Pretty sure the M1 memory is not on the same die, just on the same "chip". You can see a separation in the teardowns and Apple's advertising materials don't show it on the die images.

I do this too, my reasons are:

* It's an old habit, I'm used to handwriting my own Makefiles for every project, and every time I start a new project it's an instinct to create a .gitignore and Makefile

* There is always a possibility of needing make features in the future. Like nowadays my makefiles have `make build` recipe which builds docker containers via docker-compose and a `make run` that depends on `build` and then shells into that container.

* make is easier to use than shell scripts since you can just do `make <cmd>` to run your command
I'm not OP but there are cheap solving services that will fill them in for you. The cost is trivial and they have decent APIs for automatic integration into scrapers.
I avoided saying that they weren't athletes for specifically those reasons. Driving at a professional level and surfing competitively are indeed strenuous, difficult, and athletic activities but they do not seem to require building lots of muscle, which would mean they wouldn't be good counter-examples for our protein discussion.

Thanks for the reply.

Has anyone read a serious proposal for how to enforce platform manipulation rules on social media at scale?

I think that the reactionary take on "deplatforming" is largely right (it's not something that should happen in a free society and is a violation of the principle of open dialogue in a liberal society), but it misses the forest for the trees. Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/etc DO have a legitimate interest in keeping disinformation, garbage, and kiddy porn off of their platform if for no other reason than pol-bots make for a terrible user experience. And notice that when so-and-so gets “deplatformeed” it’s almost always for being involved in large scale platform “reach manipulation” not for being repugnant.

I am tired to death of conversations that end with, “but ma’ speech!” but would love to hear a serious policy proposal of what the platforms or governments should do about the legitimate UX problem here. What is a scalable solution to policing reach manipulation that doesn’t look like censorship from the outside?
Yeah, had the same experience at a previous company. It's very frustrating that your transparency gets used against you by unscrupulous competitors.
https://anti-captcha.com/ is one such service. There are others, but this one that has browser plugins for visually impaired people in addition to APIs.

I've used the service in the past, though it's far enough in the past all I can say is it worked once upon a time, no clue if it's still reliable.
For their sedentary lifestyle, perhaps. Not if they were actively cultivating an athletic physique they don't.
The Yup’ik art of sewing feather-lined parkas for babies
That's why I'm wondering. I've seen chick shredding videos, and these machines are fast. You can't even see the killing process unless it is in slow motion: chicks just disappear and ground meat falls down the other side.

If the machine is working correctly, I'm not sure the chicks have time to process pain, we are close to the limits of what a nervous system is capable of.

This is the same feeling I get from playing Satisfactory.
I see a few possibilities that explain your situation --a couple of which you've already mentioned.

1) You've gotten unlucky i.e. each job you've applied to had a 5% acceptance rate, and you've just happened to roll 1-19 out of 20, n times in a row. If this is the case, keep your head down and apply to more places. .95^30 > 20% but .95^90 < 1%

2) You're not applying to the right places. There are literally thousands of startups that would kill to hire a good, remote software engineer for $45K. Take a look at workatastartup.com

3) You're not actually a good programmer. This may sound harsh, but some of us don't have the points of reference to accurately determine how our skillset stacks up against others.

4) You're not easy to get along with or manage. When hiring for junior positions, companies are less likely to put up with jerks than for senior positions.

I realize some of this may sound harsh. My intention is to help you.

My advice is to apply to startups and offer to work for free for a month. Do this 3 times, and there's almost no chance you will not get an offer if you're good programmer who's easy to get along with.

The fact that bitcoin is a lousy currency is inherent in it's design. Transactions simply cannot be processed quickly or cheaply in large volumes. Don't take my word for it, look it up.

The fact that crypto "exchanges" are unregulated black boxes is well known but feel free to look this up too. If fraud is easy, someone will do it. To wit, a case pending in Supreme Court of the State of NY.

https://cryptobriefing.com/tether-bitfinex-must-stand-trial-...

A chain is only as strong as the weakest link and in the bitcoin marketplace, the weakest link is what happens in these "exchanges". Not just my opinion but also that of the Attorney General for the state of NY.
The other thing to remember was that according to Gary Lineker the pitch was absolutely terrible.

Vegans and vegetarians want to legislate meat eating away, and there is a lot of nutritional deficiencies and allergic reactions that come from vegan eating that carnivores / omnivores would want to avoid.

There is a big moralizing streak in veganism, and a lot of vegans are into it from ethical, moralizing or emotional reasons, which leads to activism and trying to ban, tax and reduce meat eating. We see where the puck is heading.
There is some support for reading a string as an encoded in the current program locale. See: https://github.com/maxim2266/str#unicode-support
This seems to be becoming a serious tool for professional use, right? Are people switching over from Maya, Rhino and others? Are any movie studios using Blender as their main tool now?

I imagine that Blender is becoming more and more of a tool for students who now don't have to pay anything to have a good 3D modeling tool.
I got downvoted for pointing out the circles actually move? Weird.
Fwiw I pretty much agree with your assessment and it's who I was talking about in my comment. If you work in this industry, your boss is likely a centrist Democrat.

I don' see why you have to be rude, but since we are here, if you need citations from a prestigious peer review journal to acknowledge this fact, you need to read more, travel more, hell, just change the channel more.

The world bank defines people living below its poverty line as persons living in households where the total income is below 1.9 US dollars, and acknowledge 689 million people living there[0].

"At higher poverty lines, 24.1 percent of the world lived on less than $3.20 a day and 43.6 percent on less than $5.50 a day in 2017"[0]

I you had read carefully, you might have noticed that my response was to the questioning on treating people as commodities, and since we are now on rude territory, you appear to me to be living in a cozy bubble, and can use some new knowledge. In my country, México, 52.4 million people are estimated to be in poverty (7.4 mill in extreme poverty)[1]. In rural areas, 29% of the population (2013 data)[2] had food shortages so no, this is not anecdotal.

I could go all academic, citations included, and tell you where does the avocado you eat comes from, who controls its growth and in which situation the people who grow it live, but I think it’s easier for me and maybe life changing for you to take a trip to Michoacán and see it for your(anecdotal)self.

I don’t know what you mean by “all the UTF-8 codepoints can be held inside an 8bit char”. All Unicode codepoints obviously cannot be held in 8-bits. The UTF-8 encoding matches ASCII over the first 7-bits, but that’s not relevant. You can UTF-8 encode Unicode codepoints into a bunch of 8-bit chars, but then you can encode anything you like into a bunch of 8-bit chars; a JPEG file for instance.
