If you could grow and kill with a small fraction of the suffering that farmed animals endure today, then eating meat would be mostly fine (other than environmental issues, perhaps). Unfortunately that's impossible for all but a very small minority of people - those who can raise and kill animals themselves or have someone they trust very well to do it for them.[0][1]

Well over 95% of meat is factory farmed[2], and animals that are raised in factory farms do not live pleasant lives, to put it lightly.[3] This is coming from someone who grew up on a farm, and whose parents are still farmers.

[0] People think that buying from their local butcher or local farm must make their meat ethical. In fact, small abbatoirs often have very shoddy killing protocols compared to the large ones. You end up with farmers clubbing animals to death, or putting 5 bullets into a pig's head before it dies: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-14/tasmanian-abattoir-ac...

[1] Hunting isn't an ethical source of meat. Even professional hunters (e.g. those who kill kangaroos for farmers in AU) will let ~1 in 20 get away with a bullet in them. That could mean suffering for hours or even days if it clots but then dies due to internal bleeding or infection. I used to hunt and I would go to sleep thinking about the animals that got away wounded that day. Still, it took me far too long to realise that there is no need to eat animals.

The UK Government announced their intention to adopt EU Regulation 261/2004 into UK law (although we've yet to see whether that will actually happen).
I've recently spent some time setting up Home Assistant [0] to corral the many smart devices in my home. In addition to the many IoT device control capabilities, HA has a rich integration/add-on ecosystem, and can pull in all sorts of additional data about daily life (financial feeds, weather, etc).

The missing piece for me right now is a device that acts as a control hub.

I hadn't considered using a Kindle, but now I'm excited about the possibilities. If I can use Life Dashboard to receive status information from HA (and possibly even send commands to devices), this might be the solution to that final missing piece.

Maybe you're being downvoted because many of us knew about Zoom for at least a year prior, and individual obliviousness is not interesting.

That and the conspiratorial tone, probably.

Even with "version 2" superchargers, this is not true. With 250kW (v3) charging, you can get to a sufficiently high state of charge (>80%) in under 30 minutes. And the thing is, given how efficient an EV is, you don't need 2700 mega-joules (20 gallons of gas or 750 kWh) to go ~500 miles. The Cybertruck will do that range to with ~100-150 kWh of battery and charge up in under an hour. This will probably get faster over the coming year as charging rates go up.

And like another comment pointed out, majority of charging happens overnight or during the day when the car sits idle. I own a Model 3 myself and I have not been to a supercharger in several months.
The fact that you can find studies that say that is a long way away from your claim that all research says that.
No that you said it, court systems should have overuse tariffs, so the people that overwhelm them subside the extra capacity they need.

Definitely a bug. If tires are within spec the traction control should not trigger, it should trigger when a wheel slips, not when it is in fact having good traction.
You have to book through them rather than by yourself. In fact, I'm very surprised he retained the flight back. Usually they cancel your return leg if you no-show the outbound leg.

It's shitty stuff from the airlines for sure. But AFAIK, they all do this at this level.
Playing devil's advocate here for discussion purposes:

Isn't the 1st step of any AI to collect as much pertinent data as possible? The potential I see in Palantir is that they have the base infrastructure covered (talent, tech stack, business relationships) to connect to all sorts of disconnected database sources.

The 2nd step will be to analyze that data for insights using opensource or in-house engineered algorithms - not Palantir's role right now.

Ex: My past firm played with Datarobot's AI solutions which tried to outsource data scientists as "consultants" but did not work very well due to lack of data engineering/domain expertise.

Could this be Palantir's next move?

Note: This may sound mildly speculative, but trying to approach it from an engineering and business perspective.
> Linux is the obvious choice for most... but the GPL licensing makes it very difficult for a lot others

Linux stayed on GPL2 instead of upgrading to GPL3 precisely to allow others freely using Linux in their commercial devices. In other words: they made the intentional choice of making it legally easy to embed Linux in proprietary hardware products (aka. Tivoization, which GPL2 allows but GPL3 forbids)

Ohh, we spent aaaages yesterday trying to set up my brother's old iPhone for my dad. All the OTPs failed, even though we wrote them correctly. His iCloud didn't want to log in and resetting the password (as we thought we had the wrong one) just left everything in limbo. Apple support were less than helpful.
Things will probably fill in niches later, but there will still be a lot fewer species by the end of the century, which is what the original comment said.

Is stadia worth at this point of time?
I had a Citroen ID 19B which had a pretty neat quirk: the starter relay would only get power if you switched on the headlights. I don't know if that was on purpose or not (some primitive anti-theft device) but I left it in because it was actually a neat feature.
my only wish is some way to port the game you buy off stadia off to personal pc or some other cloud gaming service because I don't trust Google to stick with any of the products they launch (except maybe gmail and youtube), won't be surprised if they decide to kill stadia someday soon if it's not as successful as they hoped it would be.
The problem with electric is the specific energy of batteries (how much energy per weight). Current batteries used in cars top out at around 300 Wh/kg. That's 1.08 MJ/kg. Gasoline has a specific energy of 46.4 MJ/kg. Hydrogen has even higher specific energy, but with hydrogen you need a lot of weight for safety reasons. Hydrogen probably isn't going to give you much note than gasoline in specific energy. That's still 40 times better than batteries though.

As an aside, body fat has a specific energy of 38 MJ/kg.
The Trouble with Optionality – Opinion – The Harvard Crimson
Understood and I read about why it’s a superior product. However, we all know superior products do not always win. I don’t think the meteoric rise in Zoom can be entirely attributed to its product. For example, why did schools adopt Zoom instead of Google Meet when Google was already deeply integrated to remote learning? That’s a big puzzle for me. There was something else going on be it stealth marketing or something else.
My Indie Software Projects
Not surprised there was a bug, but I am surprised it was patched (before or after shipping). I have an “enterprise grade” HP scanner (3500 F1) with buggy Twain drivers I had to manually disassemble and patch that will crash any time you try to duplex scan a single-sided sheet of paper. The blank page detection algorithm caused a null pointer dereference if two-sided mode was selected but the second side was elided.

The bug reproduced 100% of the time with all available versions of their drivers in any application using the TWAIN rather than WIA or proprietary scanner interface. It was as simple as scanning any one-sided document in duplex mode. I escalated the issue to their engineers who kept insisting the issue was with my PC until the product was EOL’d just a year or two after production.

I had other hardware issues pop up and ended up getting a Fujitsu for ADF document scanning and keeping the HP for scanning photos with the flatbed. Not many stand-alone hi-res dual color ADF/flatbed scanners out there.
Releasing Often Helps with Analyzing Performance Issues
Well, a requirement of the App Store is that the application is self-contained, so all you have to do is go to the Applications folder (a default location in your finder) and drag/drop the app to your usb drive, etc. It does just work.
Neat project but, contrary to the title, it is not in fact a heads up display.
then punt the analogy back a century or so to a time when modern physics and it’s engineering equivalents were more in the same rough infancy that CS is in now. You’ll see a more equivalent cross-fertilization then, perhaps.

I don’t mean that as an insult, at all, just a recognition that as a field, CS is maybe 75 years old.

It was legally very shrewd for Apple to assist Amazon on getting their game streaming service playable over the web [1]:

>“We worked with the Safari team to ensure that some of the things that weren't there are there, and that allowed us to kind of get to where we are today,” Luna head of engineering and technology George Tsipolitis said.

All they needed was one of them to cave and the others would follow. This significantly undermines the antitrust cases against them, especially the "essential facilities" claims.

I would suspect a static electric discharge. Walking to the next scanner on a carpet could be enough to recharge.
This is true in general. But this also applies to the mandate to upgrade from X to X+1. For most (but not all) software it is fair to assume that a patch version does not represent a major refactor.

I highly suspect it is. Every audit I know of allows for mitigating controls. Having a system properly air-gapped would allow a system to be run without antivirus. I doubt many auditors would require antivirus on network switches.

Locking down an API is a critical feature of a type system, though, and beyond that, there are absolutely language extensions in Haskell that are not inferrable, in addition to polymorphic recursion. OCaml is the same way: the inference is very good, but not total.

As for being a reduction to the expressiveness of the language, I think Haskell is proof that you can have annotations without reducing the expressiveness of the language. Type annotations in Haskell and Idris don’t even interfere with value-level syntax!
Using electricity usually is even more convenient, since you can do that at home, and very few of us have gas station in the garage.
> The author is thinking like an engineer, not like a businessperson.

I'd rewrite this and say that the author is thinking ethically, not like scum.

If the law or regulations say that you must compensate a customer for your failings, you should implement the most efficient system for you to do so (thus both you and the customer win) and focus the remaining resources on making sure you don't have to compensate customers in the first place by avoiding failures (and failures that aren't avoidable should just be accounted for in the price you sell your services).
Yup. Retail investors invest in hype, not fundamentals. It may sound like I'm trolling but this is pretty true across the market.

If you want high stock prices, manufacture a bunch of hype. If you want to win in the stock market, figure out how to properly model and predict hype.
It’s not just climate change which is destroying these ecosystems. A huge factor is pesticide killing huge numbers of bugs, which these birds eat.
It’s a legal requirement to have headlights on any time the car is in operation (day or night) in some territories and manufacturers had different ways of enforcing it. Some unconditionally turned on the headlights for models sold in those countries, others had special variants earmarked for export to those countries. It seems Citroen found a clever way that didn’t require too much fiddling to meet the legal requirement.
One thing which I always considered a misdesign in Windows, is its tendency to run third-party code in-process. This includes COM objects, printer drivers, and many more.

We had a problem similar to yours at a previous company. The software was written in a proprietary language which had its own runtime, and that runtime expected a particular value for the floating point control word. There are some third-party DLLs, including some printer drivers and Explorer extensions, which when loaded overwrite the floating point control word with their own notion of what should be the correct value (this behavior, as far as I could determine, is introduced by the compiler used to build these third-party DLLs). The unexpected value for the floating point control word would then lead to crashes, but these crashes would not happen immediately, and they would only happen if the user had done something which led to one of these third-party DLLs being loaded, like opening/saving a file (the open/save dialog in Windows loads Explorer extensions) or printing (which loads the printer driver).

The solution was to, after every point in the code which opens a file chooser or prints anything, call into a small stub DLL we wrote, which had code to reset the floating point control word to what the runtime expected.
I think we're going to see a diversification in energy storage and power delivery systems for different applications. There's lots of uses for hydrogen beyond running your passenger car. It's a feedstock into a lot of chemistry (hydrogenating food, making fertilizer, reducing ores) as well as various high temperature processes.

It looks like you can blend it at some modest proportion into existing natural gas infrastructure to lighten its environmental burden somewhat.

Closer to my personal sphere, I'd be interested in using it for longer-term energy storage. It'd be amazing to be able to have some onsite high pressure or even cryogenic storage of hydrogen to be able to store a summer solar surplus for use in the winter. And yes, that's in addition to batteries to handle short term (hours up to maybe a week) of generation/load mismatches. I'd probably want to turn some back into electricity, but I'd be happy to simply burn a bunch too.
Math, like philosophy, is only interested in using concepts, structures, or otherwise rigorous ideas to pry into other ideas. Like philosophy it is in some senses self referential, and not really interested in discovering some idea of "truth", but rather exploring the avenues by which truth itself is defined.
At least in the U.S., courts already charge filing and other fees, which in these small cases might be more than the potential damages. (Unless you can seek punitive or multiple damages depending on what the law allows.) That's why class actions are often used here, since it would be impractical to file a case on behalf of every injured claimant.

Earlier versions of typescript definitely were far more restrictive than recent ones- changes / updates to unions, enums, generics and inference, etc.

There are still some areas where it falls flat, but it is far more usable than before (very pleasant, in fact).
> the environmental impact of disposing batteries

Why would anyone want to discard these batteries with precious minerals?

1. Their lifetime is measured in decades (first in EVs and then in grid-storage) as compared to single-use for gas.

2. They (at least the various types of Li-Ion cells) are 100% recyclable. Battery production will probably switch to "urban mining" once enough has been manufactured to supply the global fleet.

Tesla recently mentioned during their battery day presentation that they plan to do exactly this. Re-manufacturing batteries will be far cheaper than mining fresh raw materials once enough EoL batteries are available.

It hasn't been quite that bad in my experience, but perhaps I've gotten lucky re: the services I use. (But yeah Facebook... their track record here is not great: https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/27/yes-facebook-is-using-your...)

I have a mobile plan that only works within the US, and I just buy a temporary SIM whenever I travel - meaning I have a completely different phone number until I get back. If I had to get into my iCloud account for whatever reason while traveling overseas and I was using an Android phone at the time, I probably would not have been able to.
Can you support this claim?
It would qualify as 'something you have', no? No different than a password proves you are something that knows a password, or a yubikey proving that you are someone who owns a particular yubikey. It would seem that without some yet unknown mindprinting technique everything is an identification method.
Well, we cut down the forests and built farms because we needed food to feed the growing population and economy of the young United States. Now we are seeing over time farms outside of cities being converted to suburbs with little to no habitat for birds. But hopefully over time as the suburbs mature, trees will grow taller and provide more habitat for birds.
This makes me wonder if my old Zoom H2 recorder has any latent remote control ability (perhaps not brought out to a physical connector).

Yes, but static expenses don't make a difference for opportunity costs. You have to pay these costs either way.
I had an Amazon item that didn't show up / got lost by UPS. The process presented by Amazon for this was pretty silly / tedious:

1) Initially, the tracking page said the item is late, maybe lost, if it doesn't arrive by X date (2-3 days after it was due), check back here to initiate a replacement / refund.

2) I went back on X date to arrange a refund. You click the button, initially it takes you to an automated chat thing that asks is this the item you are asking about (yes), do you want a refund or replacement (refund)... then it hands you over to a human and you have the same conversation again.

3) Finally, the human issued the refund... but as a gift card / credit without asking me.

In any case, it was a 5-10 minute process hidden behind both automated and non-automated chats, which is stupid and unnecessary, especially considering that these are the people that invented (patented) 1-click. They knew from their own tracking that it was missing, so it could and should have just been a single button for replace vs refund.

I suspect the steps depend on the item / amount involved, some customer risk score, etc, etc, I am sure it's all very elaborate, but in my case it was tedious.

Issuing a gift card is consumer-hostile BS too, should be outlawed if you ask me. I paid for something with money, it didn't show up, so I get the money back, simple. If I wanted to buy a gift card, I would.
In the future they may be, which brings up another issue: what about people who lop out their eyes for a better replacement?
The people who need it won’t understand what it does or why they need it and are unlikely to buy a plug-in.
Man's Extreme Tricking Goes Viral in China
As someone who works for a company focused on relentless customer service, I agree that that would be ideal. So far there hasn't been a profitable entrant into the airline business that's focused on customer service (EDIT: with the noteworthy exception of Southwest Airlines in the U.S.). Customers are notoriously price sensitive when it comes to non-business travel and unfortunately it's a race to the bottom. And you can't offer the lowest prices if you make the refund process easy.
Fair enough but I only added that as an edit after my post was downvoted within seconds. In addition, Zoom was a niche company prior to the pandemic. I’d compare it to something like Nuance.
No, the right answer is to push no one on anything, comply with the FIPS standard and suck up the marginally increased probability of a breach. They made the right decision throughout.
This sounds strange because safety systems are usually hard realtime. I can't imagine those folks tolerating something that can randomly decide to eat time slices as it pleases.
Ah, maybe it's using readlink on /proc/self/exe to get the actual path to the binary, which would obviously fail if it's not a real file. If it's something along those lines then I guess it's probably not fixable. Oh well, still a bit of fun anyway :p
Is this really “simpler” as they claim? It reads a bit like the honeymoon phase and I’m a lot more interested in how they feel about the new stack 1 or 2 years down the line.
My employer already had a videoconferencing product offering, which was not very well liked by users, and had been evaluating Zoom for some time as the epidemic really hit.

The result was an accelerated product roll-out; necessity being the mother of invention etc.

Now, I don't know for a fact that other firms were in a similar position but it seems at least as likely as the conspiracy theory version of the story.
