There was research about which diet is most environment-friendly. It wasn't veganism. It was a variant of vegetarianism.

As an example, chicken are animal welfare unfriendly, whereas they're environment friendly. As are insects; a very cheap and reliable resource of protein. The interests of an animal welfare activist are not always aligned with the interests of an environmentalist activist (I don't even like the term 'activist' TBH, as it implies the others do nothing).

I also have a litter picker, and re: "the likes of you": no, I don't consciously throw litter away on the street. I even keep plastic with me to recycle at home.

I don't follow any dogma, except I try to reduce my impact.

> That's what needs to change in the world. You. How much meat do you eat? Cut that amount in half.

You preach to the converted. I barely eat meat as it is, I often eat vegan, too. But what I am not going to care about is the examples I mentioned (another one is insect protein as insects don't have a CNS) throughout this thread, as their impact on animal welfare is very minimal. Just having one person eating one time a week no meat is going to have more impact.

You said vegans eat less avocado than non-vegans. I'm confident statistical analysis on that will prove otherwise.

> Animal slaughter for anything is wrong. Animals have long-been put as second class and that's what needs to change. Why?, why not. And your a prime example of someone who's first class who clearly shows; you don't really care.

I actually do care but I try to be realistic and practical. My approach is long-term. Most people eat meat, and they're not going to change that. They like the taste, they like the structure. If lab meat is a 1:1 copy of that, and it can be priced competitively, there's no more need for the bio industry. Its going to be a massive blow for animal suffering, world-wide. More impact than all of the people who are vegan combined.

> Why are we still using animals, that's a question which no one can ever seem to answer.

That's akin to the question why we still use fossil fuels. Because it has its advantages. For example, as you put:

> Being all-out honest I don't even like vegan products, they taste crap.

I actually like a lot of the vegetarian and vegan products, but they're generally not priced competitively, and the taste isn't 1:1 (though there's been a lot of improvement last 20 years -- 10 of which I was a full-time vegetarian, and 2 of which I was a full-time vegan).
I would love to move out of CA in the coming months. My spouse is begging me to. If my job were to finally announce permanent, optional WFH for employees, I list my house for sale that day.

Same complaints: cost of living / taxes, quality of life, and kids' education.

The only thing keeping me here is my current job and clear opportunities for future [tech] jobs. If WFH became the norm, I'm out of here in 50 milliseconds. There are probably a lot of people like me.
> think for Linux you'd need to do policy routing on the port?

I think that's probably the crux of what I'm getting at - and I should say this is all from fiddling at home and not working in networking - with iptables you can `-j DNAT --destination $desired_dns_ip`, but if you don't have NAT then you're left with `-j REDIRECT --dport $portchange`, which yes, takes a destination port, not IP.

> other than you with NAT, you certainly have a device on your network that's capable of being a transparent proxy

Yes exactly, that's all I meant really. After all, the context is a home user configuring a home user's 'router' (i.e. switch, firewall, AP, ...) to send DNS requests to PiHole, right.
It's like 80% stockpile stewardship and 20% fusion research. The ratio has changed over time, and the big question is if the research will be driven down to zero. There's still a lot of basic research done with that 20% covering laser-matter interaction, materials science, plasma physics, x-ray tomography, computational simulations etc.
I see Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been rebranded.

As with ESB's/Document/Event driven systems, even if you don't have an explicit Schema, you still have an implicit one. Be very careful to understand it and work to understand on how to make your data backward/forward compatible with systems reading that event stream. Not knowing WHO/WHAT is consuming events and what data/schema they require basically pours cement over the entire design locking you into a frozen design or forcing you to constantly break things.

I assume/wonder (haven't worked in such a company) if this is why some larger companies end up with mono-repos because they have no other way to manage backwards data/schema compatibility on ESB systems.
My point is - so what? Lots of stuff can affect the outcome of an election, as seen recently with emergency no excuse mail in voting. If we really cared about the sanctity of democracy we shouldn't have allowed last second changes that alter the mechanics of an election in favor of one party over another.
The Supreme Court will absolutely hear that suit. Those four states bypassed thier legislatures in order to change their election laws.

To anyone willing to invest a few hours of his time, he'll find it's quite obvious this election was rife with fraud.

What's sad is that our officials refuse to audit the votes. What's sad is the GOP officials in Wayne County who tried to say there was a problem were doxed and threatened. After that, no one was willing to stand up for the truth. Is there anything more important than making sure every legal vote was counted and illegal votes are discarded? They don't want transparency. That's the issue.
good for them, developers will just spin up open-source competitors and eat their lunch.
I do see that part, did you see the rest of that quoted paragraph?

The _subject_ of that quote is the Mueller investigation, _not_ the Senate Committee.

> the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe, which found overwhelming evidence of Russia's efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns but a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

It's stating that _Mueller's probe_ found evidence of efforts, but not sufficient evidence of conspiracy. This is _not_ stating that the committee did not.
> Those deliberate and asymmetric releases probably changed the outcome of the election.

How is it possible to draw a causation from the releases to the election outcome? I am curious if there are academic studies to support this claim.
End of uBlock origin as we know it I guess?

There is no Supreme Court decision banning school prayer. There is a Supreme Court decision[1] that upheld the traditional separation of church and state and interpreted the First Amendment to mean that state-run schools cannot force children to participate in a prayer. In particular, state legislation mandating prayer violated the Establishment Clause.

In some cases, the chain of custody records (allegedly) aren't even available, so what are you supposed to do about that situation?

In my mind, that begs the question, how can these elections even be 'certified?' What due diligence did election officials perform to ensure everything was fair and square?

In Georgia, I believe, there were reports of multiple USB drives found that weren't initially counted during the recount. Did anyone know how many people voted in those precincts and who was in charge of ensuring the numbers were square?

It seems like a complete circus.
Cases 10 and beyond are, too. One way you can see that is the subsequent cases have been relying on the same batshit evidence as the dead cases.

If Google was a courtroom, you might have a point --- the courts are in many circumstances obligated to hear and dispassionately resolve batshit frivolous cases. Google is not.

If Trump is "the biggest provable liar/narcissist of all time" -- clearly this would make him a huge national security threat -- why wouldn't Democrats do everything in their power to get him removed from office? Including, hypothetically, voter fraud.

I don't believe the claims of voter fraud. But if you take what is said about Trump at face value you maybe you should adjust your priors about the likelihood of such fraud.

If you don't take the claims at face value, why you take the analysis of the voter fraud situation at face value?

Political discussion is practically zero trust right now.
It's dangerous for democracy because he's using those baseless claims to support explicit calls for antidemocratic actions - he's asked multiple governors to throw out their states' election results for him.

Well, I (am parent^) looked it up. And as a lot of things, that was half right half wrong. Here is a quote from wikipedia

"The list is based on a proprietary method that uses sales figures, other data and internal guidelines that are unpublished—how the Times compiles the list is a trade secret.[3] In 1983 (as part of a legal argument) the Times stated that the list is not mathematically objective but rather editorial content. In 2017, a Times representative said that the goal is that the lists reflect authentic best sellers.[4] The list has been the source of controversy over the years."

> But when you're making Youtube videos, podcasts, writing comments, talking with friends

These things are not the same. When you talk with friends or when you write a comment, you have a limited audience and counter viewpoints are readily available. When you make a video or a podcast, you might have a pretty large audience and no immediate counterpoints. You should do your best to avoid spreading factually wrong statements.
I don't why this is news. Wealthy people move to low tax places all the time.
This has definitely nothing to do with any of what I said.
That is not a good argument in 2020 and you have no evidence that it's even true.
Funny how the comment you’re responding to said Russian collusion but you instead bring up the separate topic of Russian interference.
Basically none of those people have any standing because they are nowhere near the actual operations of the election process.

Please don't pretend that their voices carry equal weight to those who have authority on the matter.

It would be classified as a factual statement for the survey study even though it's an inaccurate statement (intersexed people exist)

As

>Respondents were asked to determine if each was a factual statement (whether accurate or not) or an opinion statement (whether agreed with or not).

I never gave my opinion on the matter, but since you asked, no, I don't personally care if corporations ban me because I disagree with their TOS (which had inaccurate statements of fact in it), that's their right. I probably wouldn't be doing business with them in the first place, though it's also my right to petition them to change it if I wanted to. Example: When I was a kid Walmart only sold censored CDs so everyone knew not to buy CDs from Walmart.
me too, it was a disappointment no magic :(

> Why would Biden's certification be a cue or trigger for left violence? That's the part of what you said that makes no sense to me.

Because the vast majority of antifa/anarco-anticapitalists hate Joe Biden just as much as they hate Trump. The Democratic party has been putting their weight behind defund the police, BLM and the radical left, but if you actually interview them and talk to them, they are not going to let up if Biden is in charge.

Look at the Hunter Biden stuff. Joe's connections and influence by foreign powers far exceeded anything alleged against Trump. The corruption in the establishment runs very deep.

They're going to riot no matter what. If Trump pulls out of this, they'll have the backing of tons of useful idiots to help them light cities on fire again. If Biden gets confirmed, they loose a lot of those people, but the momentum is strong and they will continue with fewer people.

It's very likely the democratic powers are going to have to reign these people back in, and we'll see massive funding increases to PDs, massive arrests, large level incarcerations and the democratic desperately try to put the genie back in the bottle, and nobody in the main stream media will cover it .. or they'll spin it to make it seem like it's all right-wingers.

Here's a good example, that guy who wanted to kidnap the governor of Michigan: right wing or left wing? Look into his history. The news would make him sound right-wing. He openly supporter Bernie Sanders.

Trump related only or every election fraud?
No, it doesn't: most retail brokerages "sell" their order flow to execution firms that specialize in actually filling orders. That's approximately how it's supposed to work.

This is the problem with Taibbi's technical writing. I'm not a domain expert in trading --- my knowledge of it comes from several years spent doing security assessments of order routers and exchange systems, and talking to lots of people in the field and reading books. But Taibbi simply doesn't know what he's talking about.
The issue isn't _really_ the students. Sure if suddenly all college students made aggressive financial choices we'd be better off, but really it's the more expensive universities themselves.

They know what kinds and amounts of student loans are available and they raise their prices based on that. If they can sell getting even more expensive student loans (knowing they have no risk and that you can't exactly get a refund on a degree..) then they'll keep raising prices.

And if all of these costs were resulting in the greatest workers ever who were geniuses in mathematics, maybe it'd be worth it right. Except generally it's not, these costs are going to administrators and fluff instead of things that help students or improve their outcomes.
Good to see more competition to Github/Gitlab. If their project management features even remotely close JIRA, it becomes very appealing.
I have spent a stupid amount of time trying to come up with a somewhat more secure approach and wound up with `scurl` which requires a cypher, a checksum, a url that points to an immutable file, a target path, always writes the output to disk, and will not write to the target path if the checksum does not match [0]. For an extra level of paranoia add a check to ensure that the target directory exists and is only writeable by the user currently running the command. As far as I can tell there isn't a simpler way to do this that doesn't have some hidden pitfall, and I'm sure even this way has pitfalls, because I only just realized that I had not accounted for the race condition on the target path. There are variants of this which can stream, and there was even some work to try to integrate this functionality into curl itself [1], but they are 1) not portable 2) more complex, longer, and harder to audit and 3) don't protect you anyway. Why not? Because you can't know that a file doesn't match until you read the last byte, at which point all of those bytes will already have been piped into bash. Oops!

I have also spend a stupid amount of time trying to figure out a reasonable workflow that streamlines auditing and update of the immutable links used in this pattern [2]. The same issue is faced by anyone who pins their dependencies. Auditing dependencies is a huge bottleneck, to the point where it is often neglected entirely and/or has the effect of preventing updating dependencies altogether.

Immutability of the data behind the link is critical to prevent checksum failures due to legitimate changes to the underlying data, but also means that you can't take advantage of being able to point users to a single unchanging url. For one type of security the name has to change with the content. For usability and another type of security it is vital to be able to quickly push updates. If you have users with an immutable url pointing to a bad version the only thing you can do is take down that version, but you can only do that if you control the server. If you point to a raw github url that bad version will never go away. Thus it is critical to have tooling in place that makes it easier for users (aka other developers) to find and update those immutable urls in a way that minimized the audit load.

The sandbox wont save you this time!

Why do chip makers need subsidies?
America has such a secure and strong democracy, that an internet video platform has to take steps just so it will not unwillingly help incite a civil war in the country they operate out of. Internet blackouts are literally "developing world unstable democracy" tier measures.

I feel sorry for you guys out there. I wish you had a political system that was immune to events like this so online video companies wouldn't have to stand up. An online video site is literally doing the job of politicians.

"evidence" sourced from tweets, gab dot com posts, infowars(!) and youtube videos aren't good enough for me, and they aren't good enough for the courts...

Why an Apple search engine has a real shot at competing with Google
I'd recommend reading summaries of business books instead of reading them wholly. It's usually a few decent observations and a bunch of filler and repetition so they can be sold as books. The quality of summaries varies widely, though.
I think CNCF, or more generally, Linux Foundation projects are better characterized as public goods. Basically a bunch of companies, many whom are competitors with each other, get together to improve the commodified base upon which they depend. Saves a lot of $$$ that would otherwise be wasted in wheel reinvention or spent on license fees.

For the particular case of AWS now offering Kubernetes, is that:

- A win for AWS, since they can leech code without contributing back

or

- A win for Kubernetes contributors and users vs AWS, since now customers have the option of moving their Kubernetes workloads from AWS to other providers.
Not only inadmissible, but can incur criminal liability as well, such as in California.

With criminal statutes, it significantly raises the bar about how to "leak" something to the press, the press who needs to verify the source and can be subpoena'd for records.

> You also use this word "democratic" in a way that does not mean "rule by the majority".

I’ll take the bait. “Democratic legal system” is, according to you, an oxymoron because of the “rule by the majority” part? A common sentiment although easily debunked, since there are always rulers in any system with legal codes. In any case this seems pretty off-topic.

Another in any case (since I can’t help myself): when political scientists talk about “modern democracies” they mean liberal democracies with rule of law etc. Even though very few modern countries are truely democracies.

You know that CA subsidized Tesla to the tune of billions of dollars right?
I think you're attributing too much credit to California.

> Highly talented employees

The vast majority of Tesla's "talented" employees came from out of state. Regardless of that, I don't understand the perspective that employment is an act of "taking from the state". Tesla pays above-market salaries. Isn't it, then, more accurate to view employment as Tesla giving back/helping to the community?

> Progressive policies that CA built for clean technology

I assume the policies you're referencing are the tax credits for solar installation and EV purchases. Aren't these credits independent of where the company is located? If so, Tesla would have been able to take advantage regardless of their location.

> Let's call this what it is - he doesn't want to pay a large tax bill for the success that he has had (hence selling all property in CA)

It seems reasonable to assume that his tax bill and California policies were both factors in his decision to move. What makes you so confident that the tax bill is the primary factor? Do you have some inside knowledge? If I were in his shoes, I'd be optimizing for Tesla's success, not my personal taxes. He's already wildly rich, and it's pretty clear to me that he's not doing this for the money.
OK so not just me--this reads so poorly trying to suss out anything meaningful, especially from a technical standpoint. Or perhaps to the wishy-minded, reads very well.
