Knights actually had “Squires”, not “Esquires”.

A Squire was a person to assist you in all your Knightly activities, not just in helping you in combat or a jousting tournament. Squires were also usually expensive, and therefore some Knights might not have a Squire at all, they might have just one Squire, or they might have multiple Squires.

The relationship between Knight and Squire was very much like the relationship between any other type of Master and his Apprentice.

There were also Men-At-Arms who were further down the totem pole from Squires.

The concept of “Esquire” came later.
I really think that in general calling plant-based things "meat", a terrible idea.

The US meat industry is fighting that battle.[1] So far, they're not winning. In the EU, dirt farmers have been able to prevent the use of the term "organic" for hydroponic farms, though.

We can live up to great flavors vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

There's a bright future ahead for new classes of junk foods. Plant-based bacon flavored chips, coming soon to a convenience store near you.

> The fact that signing a prenup is so completely in everyone's interest and the fact that only 5% of marriages have them proves my point - no one is anticipating or looking forward to their own divorce.

When my spouse and I got married, we had basically no assets of note. (Drafting and) Signing a prenup would have been in the interest of our lawyers, but not our interest.
He is a marketer and self-promoter to the core. With above, he continues his tradition of pushing his self-interest. No surprise he sees the role of journalism in that direction. If objectivity and a fair point of view is impossible, self-interest and partisanship is all there is, in journalism and elsewhere. Convenient for him and his current agenda, certainly. And if you oppose, you are a sanctimonious poseur.

Some quotes from his book, "Chaos monkeys".

Quote 1. (summary: Take eyeballs wherever you can find them, for his marketing start-up, AdGrok)

"This post would be the first in a series of hyperviral blog posts that would put AdGrok on the startup map (if not quite the customer one). Every three to four weeks, another gaseous emanation from the latrine of human thought (a.k.a. me) would appear and rocket us to the top of Hacker News (the tech geek’s Cosmo), and make another stir in the evanescent tech buzz-o-sphere. [...] But hey—I didn’t see fifty thousand people a day lining up to use the product we had built. We’d take eyeballs wherever we could find them."

Quote 2. (summary: he gets some free PR for his start-up by posting "edgy" articles, and games the ratings)

"I navigated to that venerable if niche corner of the
Internet: Hacker News. A Reddit-like message board hosted by Y Combinator itself, it’s a weird mix of supertechnical geeks, hustling YC founders, and that species of simultaneously frustrated and sanctimonious poseur called a “wantrapreneur.” I posted the piece, while asking a few friends to upvote the article to give it some initial traction."
Oh, and my wife never calls herself “Doctor”. She will tell people that she has a JD, if they ask. But that’s as far as she goes in that area.
> Also 'a month or two' ?

> This is not in line with any projections.

Sorry, I meant a month or two for someone 65 or older. Most of the story's gripes were among that group; outside of those with compromised immune systems or preexisting conditions, people seem resigned to waiting 4+ months.
Oh, so the solution is to just add another thing to “remember” to do. That must be what I’ve been missing all these years.

Yes, that’s extra thick sarcasm.
By the amount of words I’m sure I’ve lost indeed. In « many many » languages and countries, everywhere around the world, and particularly in our very small new extremism world.

I have one question: why do people trying to eat only vegetables (is « vegetables » still ok?) insist so much to call that « plant-based » food « meat »?
Ask HN: Resources for low-level Android app inner workings
I'm especially interested in what's in an Android app in addition to a bog standard set of Linux executable + libraries. How are they sandboxed? Is it a chroot? What syscalls are made to start and app?

Books, articles, guides and the like are all appreciated.
That is exactly what I mean, yes. If both parents sincerely want what’s best for the kids, that should take priority and thus the bar should be accordingly high for divorce until the kids are grown, whatever you feel grown means. Higher than the parents just wanting to “live their best life”.

As I recall, I didn’t take my parents’ daily fighting, even my mom screaming and throwing things, as much to heart as some might think. I’m glad you used the word access because that’s precisely what I valued most, and the biggest loss. Second to that was the devastating financial strain (2 apartments, 2 cars, etc but same income).
Once upon a time the people attracting funding for what became the internet were using language just like that. Almost all tech has good and bad applications.
There wouldn't be a subtype of Addition because Haskell doesn't have a notion of subtyping in the same way C# does. It would depend on the particulars of what the difference between SmallNumberAddition and Addition look like (in particular which parts are kept with the same functionality and which are different). The answer could be either a simple function or a typeclass depending on that.
You just say the first proposition is false without any reasoning to back up why and without providing any better alternative. You're sticking your head in the sand and trying to ignore the problem by saying ignorance is better than any empirical approach to measuring the quality of the mental health profession.

It seems, by failing to provide any alternative, that you're saying that it is impossible to measure the effectiveness of the mental health profession as a whole? This decline is similar to how the economics profession has concluded that it is impossible to measure the success of any economic policy vs. any other because of all the confounding factors as Paul Romer has commented on extensively. This leads to methodological poverty. You can make up whatever policy or treatment you want. It's as good as any other whether it causes people to kill themselves at a higher rate or not or leads to lower or higher economic performance. It's all the same without metrics.
> Why would you convert an epub to pdf?

On the contrary! Why would you ever keep an epub file around? If somehow an epub file finds its way into my computer, the first thing that I need to do is to convert it to pdf to be able to read it with a reasonable viewer (or print it!). After the convesion, I delete the epub file; I really dislike this format and the associated software.
Funny, I alluded to this in the other thread that’s now marked a dupe. I read the article and couldn’t believe what I was reading. We are making the mistakes of the past... or to rephrase that, the lords are consolidating
Rereading your remark, you were clear, just not clear enough for my sloppy reading/skimming (it should even have been clear from context alone)
But cheap meat isn’t that healthy to start with, so we have quite a low bar to pass.
Flying helicopters in mountains is risky. Helicopters are dispatched to many avalanche incidents.

I live in Switzerland where we have a ridiculous number of avalanche fatalities, which means our rescuers are exposed to mountain risk when they should be sitting back at base waiting for a call to a road traffic accident, or a pediatric inter-hospital transfer, or something actually worth risking their lives for. Off piste skiers who put others at risk are a disgrace, and if my children do it, I will consider my education of them a failure.

(An avalanche that arrives onto a maintained ski slope is a different story. Skiers and ski area operators have decided to make the effort, collectively, to mitigate the risks in a scalable manner, and that's fine.)
The place you’re right is in the “slab of meat” category: the only thing that’ll replace steak is lab-grown meat, and then only partially. And I agree that, eg bean burgers do well to market themselves as different. It’s a legit point.

But this new fake meat stuff reduced my meat intake significantly. It’s is FANTASTIC for replacing low-quality meat in a lot of cases. I have no need for ground beef/turkey/pork if I have beyond meat ground “beef” in a lot of cases. It’s a straight substitute, and I wouldn’t have thought about it that way if it was posed more narrowly.

I have had a touch screen phone for.. decades now?

I still never managed to learned how to use the keyboard correctly. I guess I have sausage fingers.

I was fine with a blackberry / palm and physical buttons. With any (small) touchscreen keyboard, I always have trouble with wrong entries.

I realize that I must be an exception, but personally I find the move to all touchscreen regrettable.
Funny enough, this is the original definition. You are the one using the new "fancy" definitions.

Wiki:
The word meat comes from the Old English word mete, which referred to food in general. The term is related to mad in Danish, mat in Swedish and Norwegian, and matur in Icelandic and Faroese, which also mean 'food'. The word mete also exists in Old Frisian (and to a lesser extent, modern West Frisian) to denote important food, differentiating it from swiets (sweets) and dierfied (animal feed).
"If we all"

You're right, it's easy for solutions to exist when everyone is unified. And in the past it was pretty easy. The nation state/religion you lived in pretty much exterminated anyone that disagreed.

So, I guess my question is, "Is there a way forward without massive amounts of death and suffering"

Everyone at ports and airports gets a forced 2 week quarantine on arrival in AU and NZ. The only other way to enter an island (check a map to see why this is relevant) is by sailing a boat, since illegal boat arrivals are already being treated as criminals and locked up keeping up quarantine is a lot easier. Even though every two weeks some part of AU or NZ goes into a forced lock down when someone makes it through the cracks.

This would be impossible in America without a wide no-mans land on the Mexican and Canadian boarders where any trespassers are put in the sort of camps Australia runs.

OP is wrong about it 'ending' if the US just wore masks. Victoria alone has shown that without a closed boarder it is impossible to keep the virus out regardless of what hygiene theater you do.

This name makes no sense. If you're reading the transcript for a Youtube video instead of, y'know, watching the video, then you can't call the transcript a TLDR. At best, it's a TLDW, though it has accessibility applications for people who also intend to watch the video.
History is doomed to repeat itself, I suppose. I agree; no good can come from this. Allowing corporations to set up their own independent municipalities is about as dystopian as it gets. Beyond what increases employee productivity, corporations have little to no incentive to maintain or improve their employees' quality of life. Sure, some people/executives/management can at times have good intentions, but those people come and go, and the profit motive usually dominates decisions in the end.

Most of the people who post on HN are fortunate enough to have a good amount of choice when it comes to jobs and living situations. Many, many people in the world don't have that, and will, as you say, go where the jobs are, even if it's not in their best interests over the long term to do so.

As we become more advanced as a species and civilization, the ties between work and livelihood should get weaker, not stronger.
Governments have and will continue to tie financial stimulus to financial indicators.
Except for lying about it being meat. That definition should be reserved for animal-based protein.

> So, I pay the same taxes and then I also get to spend a lot more on food for my family?

Well, no, not necessarily. You pay taxes right now to subsidize meat consumption across the board, to everyone, even rich people.

Under a system like UBI, you pay the same taxes, your food costs more, but you also get a check in the mail that balances out the extra food cost.

Or under a targeted system that is designed to specifically benefit the poor, you pay more for food but fewer taxes, because you're only paying taxes to subsidize the poor instead of (currently) also paying additional taxes to subsidize the meat consumption of rich people.

It's a mistake to say that your food costs less right now because you pay taxes. It costs the same, you're just paying part of the price in your taxes. And part of the 'problem' is that the money you're paying to the government is going towards subsidizing everyone, including people who are more well off than you but that get to enjoy cheap meat prices anyway. That's not necessarily a very efficient way to help the poor.

There are lots of different schemes and complications here, it's not as simple as I'm making it out to be. But the very basic idea is that it would cost less money to subsidize just the poor, and then you could keep some of your tax money that's currently subsidizing rich people and you could spend it on meat instead.
Look, you're raising an interesting point but this is not about meat vs. not meat (or "what kind of meat"). For instance, I was recently made aware that about 80% of the milk sold in Greek supermarkets (I'm Greek) is UHT ("long-life"). That goes for the milk displayed in refrigerated isles. OK? Supermarkets put UHT milk in the fridge - so people will think it's fresh. Most likely it's the dairy companies that direct them to do so. Some brands even put UHT milk in clear plastic bottles, like the ones used for fresh milk. Last time I checked there were maybe three brands of pasteurised (i.e. "fresh", not long-life) milk in the refrigerated isle in the three supermarkets I visit frequently.

And yet, I remember reading (and could perhaps dig up again with a bit of effort) a study claiming that Greeks don't like to drink UHT milk and prefer fresh milk. Well, perhaps that's what they think but in practice most of the milk on sale (and so, very likely, most of what is consumed) is UHT.

Note: "fresh milk" is not raw milk; "fresh" milk means milk that's been pasteurised, but not ultra-pasteurised, and that's been knocking about the dairy industry's plants and refrigerated trucks and the like for about a week. "Fresh" is a misnomer. Even if it wasn't, people don't seem capable of distinguishing it from UHT milk anyway.

Bottom line: people don't know what they're consuming. Like, they really have no idea. Myself I hadn't noticed all that but it was pointed out to me by a friend who is a dairy scientist. In fact, I'd been drinking a UHT milk and thinking "hey, that tastes kinda sweet". I even kinda liked it. I mean, there's nothing wrong with drinking UHT milk! Don't get me wrong- it's just as nutritious as "fresh" milk. Except, I had no idea. This is disturbing. It makes me wonder- what else am I missing? What else is sold to me as one kind of food but is really something else than what I expect?
From the article:

> The problem — the primary human problem — is that people are susceptible, prideful, bullheaded, egotistic, dumbstruck and lazy. Add to this doomed slurry a little avalanche training (or what used to qualify as avalanche training, and its focus on analyzing snowpack), and people make terrible decisions with greater frequency and confidence.

Sounds like a little knowledge is dangerous
> If people had worn masks, we would have better outcomes.

Citation needed. People do wear masks. And a lot of places where they don't are doing good compared to places wear they do.

> If we had locked down, it would have been over already. Full stop. How is this confusing?

It's not confusing but it's simply not true. I believed this in March and April, however. How long would we need to lock down in your fantasy land?

Australia has some of the harshest lockdowns and it's not over there "full stop". They still have cases popping up. And even if it worked, you can't just look at covid numbers as the only measure of success. You end up demostrating Goodhart's law. It's a huge mistake to not take all the other side effects into consideration. A couple big ones that come to mind are discouraging exercise and sunlight to generate vitamin D.
I became a vegan 15 years ago because I couldn't morally justify the unnecessary raising and killing other individuals. You may not agree, but writing that decision off as "trendy" is more than a bit condescending.

Every study I've seen on the Earth's carrying capacity came to the conclusion that we could support at least a few more billion humans. So why you believe it's more correct to say we have a population problem than a consumption problem?

Recently I noticed more and more podcasts don't provide RSS/Atom feeds directly, they link to iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud etc but no feed, in some cases they link to one of the podcast hosting services that do have feeds for every podcast but not visible by any link or not being in the meta tags. Finding the URL for the feed becomes some sort hunting, in a few cases even though I liked a podcast I still can't subscribe because I don't maintain an account on those services.
Do I really have to find another source that somehow « counter » your post and give a « definition » of what meat is or how it is generally employed for?

This is my feeling too. Also, I know for a fact that my ISP would be watching me browse (thanks for nothing, Ajit Pai!), while a VPN at least promises not to. The uncertainty of whether they're telling the truth on that is still better than knowing 100% on the ISP side.

My former fat boy calves are my biggest ally as a runner. Running hilly courses is particularly fun - traditionally fit people can usually beat me on flats but I am very fast on hills. Heck, I was once big enough that every single day was hill day.

28 reps at 60kg is amazing. I'm going to try that out - I like deadlifts too and that sounds like one heck of a lot of fun.
If it says plant-based meat, I am going to try it since it aims to simulate a taste/texture I know I like. If it says "vegetarian" I assume it will taste bad, because historically that has been the case.

That's an anecdote, but I don't think I am an edge case, many people have tried an Impossible Burger who had little to no interest in trying a vegetarian burger.

Generally when people refer to Monsanto seeds, they mean Roundup ready soy. The glyphosate resistant gene actually reduces yield by 5%. The upside is you either have huge labor savings from not having to deal with weeds manually, or you get yield increases compared to co-cropping with weeds.
> Consumers have been conditioned to install apps for basic things

It's an unfortunate development, but I wouldn't call it "conditioning", it didn't really look like a coordinated plan - just a textbook case of people with good intentions paving a shiny road to hell. Native apps are intrinsically superior to the web experience; this is true on mobile and desktop alike. The push to native apps came before tracking was so widespread, developers just wanted people to have a great experience.

Unfortunately, the amount of private data exposed by mobile platforms (and one of the two platforms being owned by an advertiser interested in such data) is so much more valuable than what was ever exposed on desktop... when this fact became common knowledge, consumers were screwed.
