Not at all. Transportation accounts for only a tiny fraction of the emissions from the meat production supply chain. The type of food matters much more for total emissions (equivalent) than transportation too:

Yet when it comes to articles that suggest links between Vitamin D and COVID severity, they may not even be studies, but rarely will the top comment be the one calling out the caveats.

It's an interesting reflection of how even HN's fairly simple mechanism of ranking comments promotes groupthink.

FWIW, I take daily Vitamin D tablets because when COVID was fairly new my doctor suggested there might be a link, and gave me a prescription that would help maintain my vitamin D levels.
You may well own the photo but not the subject of the photo. I believe this means that you can not sell the photo without also acquiring a license to the subject.

Hmm.. I struggle to understand your logic. Embedded in the concept of Democracy is the fact that there is a rule by which a decision is made and once taken it impacts everyone lives.

Just try to look from the other side of the fence. I can rephrase your question as:

"So the few individuals living in rural areas should have the unopposed power to decide all of the federal policies that could impact the lives of the vast majority of the people in the USA?"

So yes. I am sorry but with a democracy, you sometime lose and have to accept that the decision is different from your preference.

In the US this only applies to federal, how much federal laws should impact states is not really in discussion here (and honestly I have no opinion on the matter. I am originally from Europe and have limited understanding of a lot of states laws and structures).

Also, you are confirming my point that rural areas are over-represented.
You seem to intend that it is rightly so, but I do find this criteria unjust, just like your example of voting power coupled with amount of friends is.

To me, the only criteria that I find just is "every person has one vote with the exact same power". It's simple and naïve, but only one I have seen that I consider fair.
Simply, no.

Honestly, no. I get enough partisanship and parroting in the news already; we don't need more people trying to convince others that they are right and only succeeding in either breeding echo chambers or talking past each other. In my opinion, the "art of debating" is merely a means to an end: the goal is to arrive at a deeper level of understanding about a topic.

What I really want is for more people to make good faith efforts to make substantive arguments against their own opinions, and learn to recognize the usage of fallacies (ad hominems, etc) and other forms of "pop politics" ("X said Y, which implies some character flaw!")

Argument maps are certainly a useful tool to have, but IMHO, one does not arrive at good charts through arguing in debates (especially heated ones!), but through dispassionate impartial curation. </two-cents>

The major advantage this has is that it shrinks the supply chain. Transporting fresh leafy greens is a bit of a nightmare because they go bad so quickly.

I don't expect these things to compete with a farm growing potatoes for a long while or even anything which keeps well enough in a fridge.
What's frustrating (and clearly anti-competitive) is that Google thinks this is a problem enough to justify this, but refuses to ban browser extensions that utilize permissions broad enough to allow them to do this in Chrome directly. Browser extensions can generally collect everything on web sites and that you enter into websites, and has access after all TLS decryption has occurred.

For the most part, if a browser's extension store isn't in order, everything else they claim to do to secure web traffic is kinda a joke.

> “Not having to” write types but having to think about them anyway is like doing math “not having to” write anything down and doing all calculations in your head. How is it an advantage to not use pen and paper to track down your train of thought as you do a complex calculation, and instead be restricted to do it only in your head?

If dynamic type systems are like not having pen and paper, then static type systems are like a teacher forcing you to "show your work" by writing every little step on pen and paper, no matter how obvious. What's interesting is finding good middle grounds.
Ask HN: Which will be more rewarding, writing stable systems or accurate models?
Sounds like you're talking about Seattle. I followed the news enough to know you've misrepresented it.

Unarmed protesters wanted to protest in front of the police station. The police blocked them. The protests grew day by day because the police kept escalating to violence.

Then the police suddenly abandoned the station and the area. The protesters didn't ask for it. The mayor and police chief denied ordering it. The police just went rogue and left the protesters to figure out what to do. They never occupied the police station.

The first shooting was just outside the protest area. People who knew the victim and the suspect said it was a long running feud.

The second shooting was outside the protest area. The victim said he was attacked by white supremacists.

The third shooting was outside the protest area. The victim refused to talk to police. So no one knows who did it.

The last shooting did involve armed protesters working as security guards. It wasn't a case of mistaken identity though. The teenagers drove at the barricades minutes after erratically driving through the occupied park.
There's a difference between the government paying for or subsidizing a needed service and the government bailing out a specific company after that company has failed to compete in the market. Successful industrial policy, like the sort South Korea practiced, requires backing the winners not rescuing the losers.

It's a shame modern Trek has pretty much abandoned these plots. Trek at it's best is a series of sci-fi novellas, like black mirror with a recurring cast, not the action adventure it's become. Even Picard which was great only really had one concept like this for the entire series arc.

> he amount of money we wasted with that single mistake would have paid my salary for several months.

Sure. Presumably, though, your engineering salary for a couple months had more business value than you would have saved, so it's still a net plus.

> Too much up front design will kill your velocity. And not enough up front design will cost you too. If there's a good rule of thumb here, I haven't found it yet.

In my opinion, err on the side of velocity. Most startups are worrying about staying alive.

If the startup survives to have the problem of ripping out bad decisions, consider that your engineering decisions did their job and chalk it up to the scars of battle.

The more you feel comfortable with the camera the more you'll use it and the better you'll get at making photos.

Getting the government involved does not change the makeup of engineers or organizational antics; if anything, government involvement makes the entire thing worse. Intel has soft resource problems (managerial, talent), not hard resource problems (money, access).

If Intel is not shook from the top down, this story will not end well.
We're not talking about health. Competition and the cred received for for being first to market will drive people to compete and therefore innovate. Whether that's healthy or not is not only a big convoluted topic, but a separate topic.

Either way you're citing singular examples and calling it "seemingly unhealthy." It's a weak argument against my example of the entire modern world as a competitive arena.

> I had the impression Markdown already is the dumb alternative to AsciiDoc.

AsciiDoc wasn't in the running for the same use-cases at the time Markdown was conceived. It really wasn't in use except in a few niches like O'Reilly's internal book production toolchain.

To the extent that Markdown is a reaction to any other format, ReStructuredText is probably it rather than AsciiDoc, and RST was mostly used for longform documentation for Python projects.

Markdown's origin story as a format that more-or-less formalized existing ad-hoc conventions used in emails and forums and adding a few more to broaden the utility beyond blog comments is the real story, there wasn't an alternative in use it was competing against.

Feynman famously suffered from this so it's hardly just computer people.

I spent some time in drug design, surprised at how stupidly things were done in the life sciences. Of course once I was immersed in the field I discovered that many of those so-called "stupid" things were quite rational and even most of the ones that were the result of legitimate path dependence, and not really so stupid as to be worth changing.

I also learned that people in the field had already thought about this and the current state was a result of people trying to fix procedural/cultural bugs.

Of course the residual of subtracting all those "many" things that turned out to be legit still left a few stupidities and tweaking a couple of them was enough to make a big difference to our startup.

Also: our own field (I'm back in computing) is full of path-dependent oddities and wholesale cargo cutting as well. I think it's human nature.
Well I agree except that I don't want to think of mundane things as crap.

Where I live tomatoes are either green at harvesting or grown at least part time in green houses during spring. Imports is a must in practice. Fruits like oranges or pineapples are thready and blend. I couldn't believe how good fresh such tasted when I was in the tropics.

If you pay for software, like we do in VFX/Animation, then RHEL is basically the standard and what's supported best.
I think it's unintuitive because it's taught in that unintuitive way of just saying "zero is first." I know we can't get too terribly deep into this stuff with esp. young children, but we can at least gently introduce them to the concept of offset v. ordinal, as the former is a much more intuitive way to actually
understand array indexes. Trying to liken indexes to ordinal numbers just promotes rote memorization, which is already time which would be better spent on other things.

This is a recurring conversation topic in the you call them leftist circles my leftist self and I happen to frequent. The emphasis is generally not so much on the new construction rate but rather on the level of investment in public goods. While some of them cling to a so called authenticity of the neighborhood, and seems to like when garbage is not collected and cars everywhere prevent to enjoy public space a its fullest, there is still a good point to be made that when there's public investment in public goods, rents rise and people move away. (Lucky me I leave in a weird house nobody wants to live in, so I get to stay on my cheap island in a now unaffordable neighbourhood and get to enjoy the beautiful new square garden). Another good point to be made is that a lot of cities are actively campaigning for gentrification and it is not always the result of the so called free hand of the market.
The tricky thing is that the length operator in Lua (#) actually returns the largest integer index in the table. If you use 1-based arrays, that also happens to be the number of elements in the table. However, if you use 0-based arrays then it won't count the zero-th element.

>Regarding GitHub, it is sad that they took down the repository at all. It’s a well-known pattern: platforms rather comply with such requests than risking litigation, requiring projects to invest time and money to fund lawyers themselves (or hope for an association such as the EFF to pick up their case). The moment they published the request and took down the repositories, many experts immediately raised concerns that the request itself is illegal. It remains questionable why GitHub’s legal team didn’t recognize this.

ok... am I crazy? I thought when someone sends a DMCA request to you, the platform, that you are required to take the content down and wait for a counter notice from that contents author. The legality of the message is not your problem. You receive the DMCA, you take the content down, if you get a counter claim, you put it back up, the two parties go to court.

If that's correct, then can you really criticize github for following an odious law? Whether we like it or not, they are bound by these requirements.
