> Most people claim that France and its school system are "neutral", but anyone who has visited a french school knows this to be untrue, it's clearly hostile towards, not only religion, but religious people.

As a French who went to french public schools, I take exception to that, as it is totally false and offensive.

France's egalitarian principles, on which public schools operate, respect people of all beliefs,

and history of religions is taught in schools from junior high.
Most people HN would want it since we are power users who like desktop apps. But don’t rob yourself of trying to understand why everyone else doesn’t want to use desktop software to get a book on their Kindle.

For example, my girlfriend is an avid ebook reader but couldn’t be less interested in it. “I can see why that could be useful but... no thanks.”

We like the smell of our own farts too much sometimes. In this case, in the form of “why don’t people want to use more software to do what you were already doing without it?”

By what logic would a person enroll their child into a private institute that enforces a non-arbitrary code that they disagree with?

I see no problem with a private Catholic school saying “If you’re not Catholic and have an issue with what we enforce here (e.g. dress codes), then you should enroll your children here.” I imagine that’s what they all would say.

If I didn’t make it clear, this applies appropriately to private institutions, meaning “you are enrolling here on your own conscious accord.”

If a person has any issues with how a private academic institute operates, then they are not mandated to attend it.
Furthermore there is a difference between blatant discrimination (“No non-Christians allowed”) vs. "there is a particular culture that is being observed here; we aren’t going to bar anyone from attending this establishment, but it’s illogical to expect us to bend to your will because you are in opposition to what we practice upon you joining."

That's also a useful managment tool. I often ask "Uninhibited by any actual knowledge, I would think X is the easier solution, what's the real story?" A competent team will either explain why things are the way they are or give you an improved version of X that may be faster than what they had you if you're willing to accept the associated limitations. Often that dialogue on limitations is valuable because the client facing people may know some things about what limitations can be accepted without client impact and are thus good choices.

Thalidomide occurred more than fifty years ago. Do you think it's maybe possible that medical science has advanced a little bit since then?

Also the total number of birth defects that thalidomide ever caused over its entire lifecycle, is less than the number of Covid deaths per day. Relative to the number of lives that hang in the balance, thalidomide is a rounding error, and shouldn't be considered.

I'm very bullish on esbuild. But in testing with my own app, it produces output 8-12% bigger than the same files processed with terser. I would bet that it's a small number of optimizations that are missing that benefit codebases like mine (JSX-heavy).

My biggest frustration is that I am not nearly as skilled in Go as I am in other languages, and don't have the confidence jumping into a large existing Go codebase than I would with JS/TS/etc. I have the same issue with Flow, which is written in OCaml.

That's like saying isn't death a healthy outcome for a cancer patient? Sure, it's what happens to many people that get cancer. But getting cancer in the first place is not "healthy", and so death caused by cancer is not "healthy".

If marriage is nothing more than a legal contract - which sadly for many people it is, then why even bother making vows such as "until death do us part"? All for show? Why not just put a time-clause for when the contract expires so that you can decide whether to sign a new one? A highly utilitarian, and in my opinion, tragically sad view of marriage, but that is essentially what it has become for many people.

> Therefore, the other side is always spreading disinformation.

Untrue. There are lots of issues (climate change, for example) where one side (oil companies, in thise case) is spreading information that they know is not true by paying people who claim to be neutral.

The latter is what people are raging against: the weaponization of social/ad networks by disingenuous actors, like authoritarians and oil companies.

When people say they want to "stop disinformation campaigns," they're not talking about sincere individuals on the opposite side of an issue.
> High-quality men have no desire to raise someone else's kids

Generally I agree. There are exceptions, especially if the biological father is totally out of the equation. A friend married a woman who already had a kid. Father had vanished, had no interest. He legally adopted the kid, and they had several more together, he considers them all as his own.

Of course everything you've said is true. Nobody critical of divorce is saying, "it's the literal divorce that's bad for kids and as long as you just stay together and change none of the behaviors that lead to divorce, then that's better than getting a divorce."

But on the other hand, upper-middle-class Hacker Newsers who got divorced because they were "unfulfilled" probably shouldn't point to extreme cases of abuse and neglect to justify their decision, either.

All things being equal, people in this latter category should try to work it out. (Nobody disputes that there are extreme environments for which divorce is the only option.)

Finally, as always, we are talking about averages. Sociology doesn't have a proof-by-counterexample. If I say, "poverty leads to worse outcomes for kids" it's not a legitimate response to say, "there are some wealthy kids who do bad and some poor kids who do well, so you're wrong."

We're always talking about averages.

And who appointed them?

All political systems have delegation.
>Did you see any evidence of actual vote suppression

Well, first, the allegations being silenced are more than just vote suppression. Second, how can anyone expect to find evidence when news, entertainment, and tech companies who control the flow information in public media, private media, and de facto public squares, have colluded toward a particular outcome?

More importantly, how can you be so sure that 45 had "autocratic tendencies" when presumably your sources of information are controlled and manipulated by the same participants in this conspiracy? Bias may be unavoidable, but in "fortifying" the elections, what these people have really done is perpetrated a mass well poisoning, though IMO this started before even the first election.

I would further argue that manipulating the flow of information to suppress one side on a mass scale, particularly when these are not fringe ideas, does amount to a form of voter suppression. We should all be concerned by the notion that a handful of oligarchs flexed their technocratic muscle to effectively manipulate tens of millions of people. Bear in mind also that these oligarchs had non-political motivation to collude, given the adversarial relationship between trump and media, and the rumors of a possible crackdown on/breakup of Tech's dominance over modern discourse. This was an unprecedented flexing of soft power concentrated in the hands of a tiny fraction of the population, ostensibly in anticipation of undemocratic behavior. And as a bonus, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when this "cabal" can then unilaterally label any questioning of the results as damaging to democracy because by controlling the content and flow of information.

There's a far larger issue here than the results of a single election.
I agree. Why call something that is not meat "meat"? It seems that the only valid arguments is that the term is used as a marketing strategy to confuse consumers or appeal to their subconscious.
Yeah, that's a deadlift, by far my best lift.

>> Malnutrition from people eating fake meat? So far, not a problem.

Because there aren't that many. For people eating a vegetarian or vegan diet, keeping well-fed is a real concern and not everyone is pulling it off. For example, the following article is about infant nutrition but some of its comments apply to adults:

Vegetarian diets in childhood and adolescence : Position paper of the nutrition committee, German Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine (DGKJ)

In Western countries, vegetarian diets are associated with lower intakes of energy, saturated fatty acids and animal protein and higher intakes of fibre and phytochemicals, compared to omnivorous diets. Whether the corresponding health benefits in vegetarians outweigh the risks of nutrient deficiencies has not been fully clarified. It should be noted that vegetarians often have a higher socioeconomic status, follow a more health-conscious lifestyle with higher physical activity, and refrain from smoking more often than non-vegetarians. The nutritional needs of growing children and adolescents can generally be met through a balanced, vegetable-based diet; however, due to their higher nutrient requirements per kilogramme of body weight, vegetarian children have a higher risk for developing nutrient deficiencies than adults. With a vegetarian diet, the mean intakes of some nutrients, such as the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are lower than in omnivores or those eating fish. For other nutrients, such as iron and zinc, the bioavailability from vegetable foodstuffs is reduced when the intake of phytates and fibre is high; thus, the prevalence of iron deficiency can be increased despite high vitamin C intake. In addition, vitamin B12 is only found in animal-source foods. Vitamin B12 should be supplemented in people of all age groups who follow a strict vegan diet without consuming animal products. A vegetarian diet in childhood and adolescence requires good information and supervision by a paediatrician, if necessary, in cooperation with an appropriately trained dietary specialist.

>plant-based meat

There is no such thing as plant-based meat. There's only plant-based protein. If we didn't live in a corrupt society this would be punishable by court for disinformation.
Umm, just eat the plants instead? I don't get fake meat. It is a solution to the wrong problem. Make a small amount of meat sustainable and respectful of animal wellness. Then make the rest of your diet plant based. Done.
>Interestingly even in places where there's some form of carbon pricing - like the EU - this often doesn't cover a large share of emissions from meat production, as methane emissions are very relevant here - I'm not aware of any methane pricing scheme anywhere.

The problem is that most of the cows in the world live in India, Africa and South America, regions which have relatively low carbon intensity per capita. In the developed world, agriculture accounts for on average ~10% of carbon emissions, half of which is from cows. Targeting methane makes a small difference in rich countries and on a global scale places an unfair burden on the poorest countries, and politically, severely hurts the perception of climate protection advocacy among farmers, who are no doubt smart enough to know that fossil fuels are responsible for eight times as much greenhouse emissions as they are, and who are generally an extremely sympathetic constituency, cf. recent Indian protests.

In rich countries, transportation and thermal processes based on fuel burning account for the lion's share of greenhouse gas pollution and rightly deserve the spotlight. The outlier is China, which is rapidly expanding meat production along with its transition to a more industrialized economy. Purveyors of meat substitutes might consider taking the Chinese market more seriously, since they have an opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
