Since I eat normal meat, I’m not missing out by not eating fake meat.

I’m generally against fake and highly processed things, I don’t want them in my life, and definitely not on my plate. That would definitely include lab meat. So I’ll keep eating regular meat until the fake meat industrial complex gets it outlawed, and then I can just eat vegetarian food.

Right. At the societal level, forgiveness follows contrition and the rituals of repentance.

But there are no such rituals that can lead to forgiveness now. That is the problem. Even when people seek forgiveness, are sincere, and do what they can, they are still not forgiven.

On a personal level, we need to forgive everyone, for our own sakes.

I think that's one of the points of the article, or at least an observation. Bodybuilding made her more attractive to men, then as she excelled, made her much less attractive to them. The world changed around her as she changed appearance, as men held open the door for her or ignored her, corresponding to her attractiveness. Bodybuilding for women was for years obsessed with making sure the competitors preserved their femininity, as if building too much muscle takes that away from a women. One of her idol (Bev Francis)'s major contributions to the field were ignored by the gym friend, because he viewed Francis as being too unattractive to have sex with, and that was all he cared about.

Beyond that, I think it's extraordinarily hard to not care what strangers think of you. Not a particular stranger, but just strangers as a whole. Depending on where you live (e.g.catcalling is more common in particular cultures or more metro areas), you can have people commenting on your appearance every day. After years of that, of course you start noticing the comments being more or less nice, or more or less frequent, and I imagine it's easy to obsess over it. It should be pointed out though that it's clear the author doesn't enjoy obsessing over how men think of her - I imagine these are more intrusive thoughts.

I enjoyed a feminist lit book with similar themes of a character who embraced being 'unf*ckable' called "Dietland". The 2nd half of the book goes off the rails but the first half was thought-provoking to me, for anyone who might be interested.
The good news though is that it does have some sort of platform technology that means it can be quickly altered.
yeah.. 60-90 min workout, but probably a minimum 30-40min recovery time to feel okay afterwards, plus extended sleep! You really tend to sleep longer.. You want that 8 hour sleep, if you are actually working with weights about 3-4 times a week. Compare that with 30-40mins of medium-to-intensive cardio.. Massive cortisol peaks after intense workout sessions, etc etc..
I agree the associated link doesn't really support the infographic, as it shows the changes in party mean, not the heterogeneity of views held by individuals. That said, it makes total sense to me. It seems inherent in the definitions of a conservative/traditionalist party and progressive/change based party.

On an anecdotal level, think about views and behaviors that were commonplace in the 80s and 90s, and how they are perceived today. Values of many on the right would be aligned with the older views, while many on the left have come to reject those views.
You shoot where and how you are commanded to, it is not your job to think about the rules of engagement when you are given clear orders to, for instance, fire bursts ar a bunch of rocks someone's hiding behind. The average civilian involved in a shooting bears more responsiblity and is scrutinized much heavier than any policeman and certainly any military personnel.

Excellent point. Also, the protagonists in this story were not taught to hate each others national identities at birth. There is a point where people become so indoctrinated with hate that before start making pastry, the hate would need to be de-programmed.

It’s worth noting that the Oxford vaccine can be quickly altered too, as it’s based on a platform technology. They suspect a version with variants can be in production and being rolled out by August.
We already have a myriad of high specific impulse electric thruster technologies, some of them have operated for decades in space and are standard equipment used on commercial satellites, used since 1997! The exhaust speed ranges from 10 to 40 km/s.

All these technologies are limited by their power source, not by the thruster. That's the actual problem.

If you use higher exhaust velocity, you need less propellant but need more power. After a certain point, power source mass dominates the propellant mass. The total system gets worse with higher exhaust velocity than that.
Right. But it can be demanded by the norms of society as a whole.
Zip unpackers usually spill files into already populated directories or create double foldered contents, depending on how you prefer to unpack them: <here> or <into zipname>. The only app that does the right thing is The Unarchiver from AppStore. All other unpackers on all platforms force you to look into the zip file before unpacking. This is annoying AF.

I can’t tell from the article, but if it allowed “unstamp -“ and then simply copy-pasting into stdin from a site, that would be great.

The UN purposefully doesn't involve itself in internal politics of its member states unless there is an clear reason to. Setting such a framework would be down right disastrous for some countries and would likely be ignored by many other countries that would be the countries that would need such a framework the most. It would also be unenforceable.

However, you have the internet and the ability to research a thing before making your mind up on whether it's good or bad. You didn't do that, instead you listed ingredients and for each one essentially went "weird, never heard of it, yuck" which is a level of sophistication regarding food that I'd expect of a teenager or child. Here on HN you should put a bit more effort in before being dismissive of the unknown.
> Imagine if a doctor or civil engineer based professional decisions on what they read in magazines and newspapers. The thought is horrifying.

Naaah, don't worry, doctors are only basing their treatment on what their most obnoxious patients are requiring, based on things they have read on Facebook and Twitter. (I mean, how can you trust journalists ? As the linked article says, those people are "wrong" , too.)

The guy posted some statistics on handguns and you asked him not to mislead people. The facts are very clear that shooting 4 dudes in your apartment is considered a mass shooting. Such is the law in this case. People who think mass shootings are sensational breaking-news events like a mad teenager shooting at innocent people, have been led to believe so. It is simply not the case, I'm afraid.

Nobody's shooting anyone or advocating that people should drown, tone down the drama. If someone is paying to get smuggled across the sea, there's a strong chance they will drown. That's reality.

Parler was killed not because of that but because they didn't manage to protect themselves against the incumbents.

Parler might have been awful, IDK, but both Facebook and Twitter has been really awful without being taken down.

In fact the only place I've seen actual nazi content, e.g. "certain groups of people should be exterminated, what a shame Hitler died so early"-kind-of-comments without looking for it has been in Facebook comments.

"I'm always stunned and disappointed at how easy it is to game the American political system"

Isn't that the point of a political system without hegemon? And open political system is not one that is fair to all. It is a system that is open to gaming by all.

A democracy and a "completely fair system" are completely different things. I don't think anyone has any idea how the latter would work.

What a surprise to see Soldat on hackernews :)

I maintained Soldat back from version 1.5+ to 1.7 before someone else took over for a few years.

The current version on Steam is Soldat 1.7 while the open source version is an unfinished Soldat 1.8 and needs some love before it can be released (gui is missing, new netcode, switch to lazarus/fpc, macOS and GNU/Linux support, new config file format to name a few.)

So don't expect everything to work out of the box if you compile it.

Any help is welcome btw ;)
There's also some mismatching caused by the way the modern Greek alphabet and phonetics are mapped into Latin - take for example the second letter of the alphabet, "Beta". In Modern Greek it sounds like the latin V (and the letter's name is actually pronounced "Vita" - "vi" as in "video". There are several other mismatches like this which makes it very easy for a Western speaker to pronounce Greek letters and words incorrectly
Many people in the UK voted for Brexit "to get rid of EU red tape", but when questioned were unable to name a single specific regulation they wanted to get rid of. Now UK businesses are swamped in customs red tape that the EU was designed to remove within the internal market.

It's a result of years of being lied to by politicians with an anti-EU agenda. It's very similar.

But the bullshit pulled by AZ isn't surprising - given how little regard most of the world has for the continent and they should be called out for it. The vaccine wasn't a generous donation.

This article is packed with odd mistakes. One more is the assertion that Microsoft has been hard at work to make Windows, an x86 operating system, work with ARM.

The NT lineage of Windows has worked on PPC, MIPS, Alpha, IA64, x86, x64, and ARM. I’ve personally used it on all but PPC and MIPS.

Where Microsoft is likely behind is in instruction set adaptation, where the last strong effort was with DEC with FX!32.

However, they’re back in the game.

I don't think for self-validation it matters much if someone is a complete stranger or not, it's more about where in the perceived social hierarchy that person sits. Attention from someone who you feel is "higher" in the social tree is a positive, ego boosting signal, and we're wired to react to that. That's the core mechanics behind animal groups organization, and while human society tolerates individualism to much larger extent than other animals, still we're hard-coded to strive for it. I think very few people have such amount of healthy ego that their self-esteem is completely independent from their environments social signals - and it's not necessarily a healthy sign, as it might be also a consequence of some personality disorders.
It's arguably even MORE important in the age of fast links - because now a great percentage of the clock time is spent on handshakes and other "overhead" - so saving a round trip or three on a DNS lookup is comparatively larger than it used to be.
Title: Duped by the “Frailty Myth:” USMC Gender Based Physical Fitness Standards

Author: Major Misty J. Posey, United States Marine Corps

Thesis: Female frailty is a myth; women Marines have the strength and ability to perform pull-ups and should be required to do so on the PFT in order to evaluate more accurately female upper-body strength, properly condition women for the likelihood of combat, and mitigate the negative impact that differing standards have on unit cohesion.

Your comment makes no sense. If you want to read a math-heavy do and you stumble on unreadable text, your experience doesn't suddenly improve if you say "well at least I can get JAWS to play audio". There is no tradeoff.
There seems to be a group of people that systematically downvote anything that suggests a vaccine might not be a panacea.

They also like to downvote math + statistics regarding Covid. Comments like yours tend to bounce around zero with lots of votes in both directions.

Not sure what the deal is with the big silent anti-science crowd on HN. They don’t seem to be the majority.

I just upvote anything that’s gray and not violating HN’s community guidelines.

That talk was inspirational, as was the follow up ~10 years in progress video that came up next. I'm going to give FreedomBox a try. It is sad that I've never heard of this until now.
Argh, I hate this kind of question, it overtly implies that because we have more of something (computing resources, memory, networking bandwidth) we should fill the void with something "better", where "better" means different things to different people.

DNS doesn't really work this way anyway, you have a tree-like structure and if you're a good little resolver you don't just talk to your upstream DNS server, you walk the path from the root to the stem.

I.E; you don't ask your ISPs resolver for server-a.www.google.com you ask the DNS root (".") for who owns com, then you ask "com" who owns google, and you keep going down the NS records you're on the stem, then you ask for an A or a CNAME record.. Then you cache that result _because it's expensive to do that lookup_- and often (ESPECIALLY) on the internet a webpage will ask you to download a dozen more things from the same domain, so a cache makes absolute sense.

But, regardless of how expensive DNS is; you miss a _huge_ point about the tech that came before: it's foundational and fundamental to how things work, it's so "light" that we bake it into our products, and increasing the "cost" causes an exponential cost to end users because it's so widely adopted and essential.

This industry seems to want to eat itself, taking things that work decently well and noodling on them until something much more costly comes along, why on earth would we take DNS before tackling the much more necessary project of fixing email?
it has triggered mediocre CRUD maintainers that do not have fundamental development skills and yet think very highly of themselves because they know how to write a new API endpoint

The grandparent is a naive oversimplification. Most things that aren't just very trivial CRUD do have irreducible complexity, that cannot be encapsulated away. Also, making notes doesn't help there, notes that were written need to be read again and again and again, multiplying the effort involved.
When did open source become a business model? A lot of newer developers confusing open source saying companies should not be using code for free etc. If that is the case dont open source it or use a dual licensing mechanism.

Sci-Fi Short: ALONE – A powerful film about space travel and the human condition
I have a company as a side thing, so for me the process is more involved, but for most Swedes the following is what you do:

- receive a tax summary of what the Swedish tax agency believes about your earnings.
- check that tax summary if it is OK (you receive a summary from all your employers in the beginning of the year. Just check if it adds up)
- go online and change any numbers you believe are wrong (in my experience they are usually usually they are correct down to a granularity of a couple of hundred SEK). At that level calculating it precisely gets very hard, due to how your employer reported sick leave and such. I have always ignored anything below 1000sek (~$100)
- do any deductions. Many are already pre-filled (like deductions on interest, household services and such).
- sign it with your online ID

Done. Last year this process took my wife about 35 minutes. Most people are a lot less diligent.
When it comes to B2C, prescriptions don't apply uniformly, or for that matter scale. Beware.

My only suggestion would be that be honest with the value proposition of your product. Know that your electron-based note-taking tool is not the same as the entire g-suite or ms office.

And finally, remember that no one is more emotionally invested in your product than you are. So let the suggestions trade.

Year View Not Working on macOS Big Sur Calendar
Hi, everyone.

It might be just me. The Year view on the Calendar app is not showing up on a fresh install of macOS Big Sur, running on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020). I can access the Day, Week, and Month views in Calendar, but not the Year one.

Has anyone else experienced the same?
Are there any known bugs or fixes for this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

God is good - this mentions about social circles having an effect on people. My dad here took me to meeting at the age of 16, where people spoke about God healing their lives from difficult situations like adulterous broken marriages with cancer out of work with million dollar debts, legal trouble and addicted to alcohol and drugs most all at the same time. As the article said: to look at God's record and it looked good to me, especially when out of options. This helped me turn to Him when my own life was shattered from my bad choices. I am still far from perfect, but its nice to be med free since 2014, and far from the suicidal maniac yelling while naked outside of hotel rooms in 2003 thinking radiators are breathing when satan is trying to tune in with fbi choppers flying over my head and crows trying to send daggers to my mind.
