I went through a phase of drinking milk substitutes but I'm back to milk.

The glycemic index of most milk substitutes (oat,soy,almond) are equivalent or greater than a can of coke. Milk substitutes also tend to be really really high in vegetable oils that seem to at least have a troubling correlation with chronic disease.

The metrics used for the environmental impact of intensive animal husbandry tend too skew towards the worst case (obese cows on a grain fed diet in a feedlot). There are plenty of dairy farms raising cows with a more sustainable grass-based diet that doesn't release nearly as much methane (Think how gassey you'd be if the only thing you ate was ice-cream?)

I like supporting my local dairy farmers, more than I enjoy supporting some multi-national milk-substitute beverage company with a supply chain spanning the globe.
We have a lot of documentation and clues, so it shouldn't be that bad. There are decades of rants about the shortcomings of the pdf format, at least :)

Those formats are also more logical(ish) than human language, so reverse engineering them should be possible in some cases.

Also, there will be plenty of 'rosetta stones' around: media that exists in both an obsolete format and a more recent, better understood one.
Ha, I love your hypothesis btw! Because I came from the "I am older and know myself better"-angle, and you from the "it's nature's way of telling me I should move towards the sidelines, making way for new" (paraphrasing of course, no offense). It's a humbling concept. So pretty interesting to think about. Maybe there is a bit of both!
Some people like to think they don't belong to a team. They're usually part of the enlightened centerist both sides are bad team.
Yeah, most people have a stronger bias to socialize when they're young. I mean, you gotta spread those genes somehow.

As they get older, that drive diminishes, like all things related to gene spreading.
The dialectic between media and mob is interesting.

"The mob", and, "The mafia" are media terms: no one in the organizations designated called it that, it was "Cosa Nostra" (literally "our thing") internally. Strictly speaking the Mafia solely exists in Sicily.

Likewise for the names of the five families, created by the media after the Joe Valachi hearings; cosa nostra members simply adopted the names for themselves. Internally, different groups under a distinct boss are referred to as "borgata".

Colombo capo Michael Franzese has spoken on the infuence mannerisms and behavior found in The Godfather had an impact on actual guys on the street as they adopted the behaviors and idolized the movies. The Sopranos does a lot to point this out.

It's interesting though that the article leaves out Joe Colombo himself commendeering and editing the script of The Godfather for all references to the word "mafia" and other related offenses which really did happen.

Franzese is also on the record asserting technological change and RICO sentences ended the prominence of the mob.

They didn't; the title means "these are now live (present) on the app store", as opposed to "these now live on the app store, instead of the place they were living before"
Interesting!

> Reparations for slavery are about things that can't be measured

If it can't be measured, it should be omitted. Nobody is suggesting making up random numbers based off feelings.

> Should my dad, as a completely broke 25-year-old, have had to pay reparations to someone for his ancestors' wealth (which I'm sure was gained unfairly)?

First off, if your dad is actually 25, you are fantastically intelligent for your age (and props for that). But also, there are ways to use math to make things fair. For instance: progressive taxation based off wealth. Lower income pay a small percentage (probably less than 1%) while higher income pays 1-2%. And given that slavery lasted ~90 years, so too could the timeline for paying reparations.

There are solutions here. Nobody is saying do it all at once and make people starve. But there is a way to pay off -- if nothing else -- the debt of unpaid hours.

It's better late than never, and if there is one thing the world respects about Germany, it's that they owned up. We can too.

Honestly, I'd be willing to say this could be one of the best cost vs benefit long-term PR investments the US could make on the world stage. But only if it's done right, and not as a punitive thing.

> That seems awfully defeatist. Spotify is winning in music, for example

I'm just a realist. Spotify is not big by comparison. I just looked up a list of the 30 most highly valuated America, and the least valuable was bigger than Spotify.

> European culture is more homogeneous than I think a lot of people in Europe appreciate

I've lived in both and it's just no comparison. What differences you find within the US you find within single European countries. The fact is that an American startup can target a huge, homogeneous and rich country with barely any extra work.
If you’ve been to some of these events, you’ll notice a large number of antifa people with handmade press passes calling themselves journalists, but also protesting peacefully by throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at cops, Burning buildings, preventing others from using their own cameras, hitting people, and breaking things. Those people are included in this count.
Oooof, I imagine an endless list of left-wing NGOs.
In the past I would have associated HN mostly with libertarians and socdems, but it seems to have shifted more conservative than I recall.
> Freedom isn't about being free of the consequences of what you're doing, it's about the law not forbidding you from doing it in the first place.

I've always found that definition useless. Imagine a restaurant where a black person can legally sit-down and order food, but where the townsfolk will beat them up if they do. They are legally not forbidden, there are just consequences! They are free!

Sorry, but freedom from consequences is really an integral part of freedom. Some consequences are unavoidable, but most of them time "consequences" are just oppression through social means as opposed to government means and are not nobler for it.
Are there more "journalists" ? I.e., people who post on the internet or have blogs?

The cliche about engineers being STEMlords is not entirely untrue. There is certainly a thing where engineers like to think of themselves as smart, intelligent self-made men who justifiably earned their high salaries in contrast to, say, some dumb humanities major who's now making coffees.

Often it's a libertarian flavor, particularly here in the startup community where the cliche of the self-made-person looms large. Libertarians have some overlap with liberal positions in some areas (personal freedoms in general, drugs specifically) but disagreements in others (government regulation and spending, etc).

In practice though most libertarians today can generally be characterized as conservatives who want freedom in the areas that affect them personally. They want to smoke weed, or get gay married, so those things are good, but they're conservative in most other areas.
Very interesting points. Thanks for giving me food for thought

I’ve personally seen this repeatedly, and people have their heads so far in the ideological sand that they downvote you for some reason. It’s true, “independent journalists” wearing PRESS are basically an in-joke in the PNW. If there is one thing they are great at, it’s propaganda. They somehow managed to convince the rest of the country that they’re the good guys and the good guys are violent racists. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yes, Jupyter Notebook (and its successor Jupyter Lab) is a Python program that serves a browser (HTML/CSS/JS) application. It is meant to be used equally well when the Jupyter server is on your local machine or somewhere else on the network.

Other tools that use similar architectures: Tabula, Kiwi IRC, The Lounge IRC. The user experience is maybe more "technical", but you don't have Electron involved, just whatever web browser you would use for anything else.
HN has never been a forum for geeks. Y Combinator is an investment company focused on profit, like any other. It and (much of) the HN readership extract that profit from technology, but the money ultimately supersedes the tech. This is worth remembering when reading HN threads on regulation or open source software.

This is cool to see. Applications using services like AirTable. Looks like a perfect use case.
I think the Trump era emboldened a lot of normally quiet conservatives to be more outspoken in their views.

Particularly in the tech scene, you can get the feeling that everyone is very liberal, and so you better just be quiet and keep to yourself.

Personally, I saw so many people completely overplay their hands when it came to things Trump said or did, that it made me more comfortable having them downvote me through the floor and tell me nasty things because honestly who cares? Someone on the internet disagrees with me. Neat. I can disagree back.

Part of that is maybe just me being four years older though and really has nothing to do with the garbage fire that has been the news and media environment since 2016.
If a mirrorless digital camera company ever made their software anywhere near as good as this, or if Apple ever brought their software expertise to a device with a full-frame format sensor and lens mount, they would absolutely dominate that market.

Which statistics are these, please provide! They must be both very detailed and very massaged to get a result as generic as "cops are racist" (a mindset that requires significantly more information than provided by mere statistics to identify).
Yeah, that's all true, that users sometimes think of something as useful and it is not. Nothing to be done about it, except education. But let's say some users want of an open source program to integrate some graphs somewhere. They go to a social media and they ask the users. "How many find useful these graphs?" The users hit like to the feature, and they immediately transfer a small value to the owners of the project. In case the sum of all the values of all the users is enough, the owners of the project may go forward, accept the funds and allocate resources to implement this feature.

We try to reason about the world. When the world appears to be unjust and we feel powerless to change, we (humans) tend to fabricate justifications for the actions of others. So that we feel better about themselves and we can move on thinking bad things won't happen to us.

This is how you see someone getting beaten during an arrest and people are like "but this guy was once arrested for such and such". The assumption being, since they are "bad" people, that's the reason why bad things happen to them. And, therefore, that won't happen to "me". This requires one to ignore the fact that force wasn't called for.

In this particular thread you see that: "they must have been doing other things rather than just filming" – while we have seen multiple, documented, instances of people doing precisely nothing.

We also see "No True Scotsman": "What exactly is the definition of a journalist?". Which would be fine if we were just trying to understand the methodology, but not "these weren't actually journalists, therefore, they shouldn't count and everything is normal".

Some of the rioters are victims, so I'll be upset with all kinds of people.

In general, it's somewhat irrelevant whether someone declares themselves to be press because there are scant laws that declare the press is allowed to do X while a normal citizen can't. The "PRESS" signage should, in theory, be a useful signal to law enforcement that someone isn't there to make a disturbance (this, of course, breaks down if rioters mis-apply the label, but the end result is they endanger the press more than benefit themselves, since the cops can arrest a person breaking the law whether or not they have a particular symbol on their uniform).
In that case, they should perhaps consider taking a job more commensurate with their abilities.

Policing is difficult. That's not an excuse for doing it badly. Anyone who can't do it properly should be retrained, fired, or in some of the cases which occurred recently, criminally prosecuted.

>Why is there such an obsession on this?

Because viewing/storing this material is illegal for everyone except the minor in question. If a minor posts a nude picture on Reddit and I view/save it, I'm guilty of possession of child pornography. Maybe I could get the charges dropped if I can argue/prove I didn't know they were underage, but lives are ruined over mere allegations of child sexual misconduct and that reputation would follow me everywhere.

>There's really no way to prevent this but to abandon privacy/force verification.

Which is why official producers of pornography are required by law to verify age and consent of all of their actors (18 U.S.C. § 2257). The problem is when they allow producers to distribute pornographic materials on their platform without verification that the producer is following the law, like PornHub and Reddit and Imgur and Tumblr etc. Forcing verification is already in the law for producing pornographic materials.

>It's not a problem exclusive to pornhub

Correct, but the fact that other companies are violating the law does not absolve PornHub of their responsibilities.
Not all ruminants produce methane at the prodigious rate that cows do. The fermentation process is a complicated mix of biota. Just a small change in diet of a few percent seaweed makes a huge difference in methane output.
One of the biggest features isn't so obvious at first. By default, only track one track is heard at first. The other four tracks are minimized. Click on the M (multitrack?) and then drag the volume up and you get the binaural orchestra version.

The rest is fun to just drop around or there are presets. Depending on my mental state I will just flop things around until I feel something connect and then I get back to work.
This is worth a read for a nuanced, holistic look at the stats.

> ... comp.lang.emacs

Wasn't the quote from comp.religion.emacs?

But seriously, regular expressions are often ill-advised, as solutions based on them are frequently:

- over-matching: they match things in cases where they shouldn't, because a situation wasn't anticipated by the developer

- under-matching: not catching some input they should because a regular pattern was formulated to narrowly by the developer

- matching the wrong thing altogether because they are hard to stay on top of, even when it's one you wrote

- matching something, but you don't understand what and how it works, because regexes are "write only".

There is even another case:

- They work but they are the wrong instrument, because you try to model something that requires context-free generative capacity (e.g. syntax coloring)

Interestingly, at Xerox Research Centre Europe (now Naver Labs) in Grenoble a much more elegant (more powerful yet more readable, and symmetric between inputs and outputs) has been developed as an alternative, mostly to write linguistic rules with it.

The big gap is that it's not that compilers optimize on "having UB" but rather on "having a potential for UB".

It's not about places where "undefined behavior has been proven by the compiler", it's about all the many places in completely correct code where (as far as the compiler can reason) the code might have UB but should not if it is correct code.

The question is about what to do when the programmer has written a completely correct program that lacks UB. The current approach is to assume that it actually does lack UB and that the code path that would contain the UB is unreachable (though in a manner that the compiler can't prove). The other approach is to insert run-time checks in every such place, which is a heavy performance hit as there are many such places (e.g. every integer addition).

Requiring programmers to eliminate every place in a C program that has a potential for UB is not feasible - cleanly proving for every every integer increment and every pointer dereference that the input data can't cause UB is impossible in the general case, and assuming that all of these can cause UB and pushing warnings means that every second line of perfectly correct code will have a warning that you can't fix, because the code is correct as-is.

If you can simply not imagine the police arresting someone for no reason, or for challenging their unlawful assertion of authority, or so they can beat up protesters more effectively away from the watchful eyes of the press, no amount of evidence is going to convince you otherwise. But please, consider that police misbehaviour is at the very least a possibility.

Simple reasons:

- The cloth masks don't form a tight seal and leave two gaping holes on either side of my nose.

- The cloth masks don't have as fine a filter mesh and aren't as effective at filtering tiny particles.

That said, I don't go out that often, and my trips are limited in time, so I reuse a disposable N95/KN95 mask until I've worn it for as much as a total of 30-100 hours before I dispose of it. I also use reusable everything else wherever I can in my life, I just haven't found any actually good reusable masks that would pass e.g. NIOSH tests.
Nice. Now tell me how this relates to how fit they are? Because that was my main point.
I am in my mid 20's and I am experiencing what you describe as the fear of missing out. I will do whatever I can to hang out with friends to have fun and enjoy my time, even if that means when some people think it isn't worth it. (either money wise or time wise)

You saying this gives me some kind of weird feeling of knowing that it will probably get less in the future. I don't mind the feeling now and it keeps my on my feet and makes me do things, but I don't think I'd want to keep this feeling when I'm approaching the 40s.

Grafana cloud sets high prices for high-cardinality metrics because the underlying system - Cortex - isn't optimized well for storing high number of unique time series. For example, it requires at least 15GB of RAM for processing a million of active time series [1]. This means high infrastructure costs, which increase pricing for end users. Other systems such as VictoriaMetrics require up to 15x lower RAM for the same metrics' cardinality [2].
