Tofu is nothing like meat in neither taste nor texture, and I’m pretty sure it has never been seen as a meat substitute traditionally.
The parent didn't say "most healthy", they said "pretty healthy". I think we all agree that the "most healthy" outcome is to be happy and fulfilled as a couple forever.

> Kind of like saying the most healthy outcome is getting fired or rage quitting

I don't agree, a closer analogy (keeping in mind that all analogies have limits) would be to say that a _pretty_ good outcome to taking a job is to quit. Which doesn't seem particularly controversial, there's plenty of situations where quitting is a perfectly reasonable and healthy choice, even if you don't have an abusive relationship with your workplace.
Yes. This is a big part of the problem: lying is almost free and spreading the truth is relatively costly. As the old adage has it "by the time the truth has put on its boots a lie will be halfway around the world". There is another analogy too: destruction is much cheaper than construction.

In my experience you can't build anything great without the help of a community.

Or, in other words, it takes a village.

And you want to find people who are interested, willing to put skin in the game. You want to filter out critics and tire kickers as soon as possible. You want to find builders.

The $50K is an arbitrary constraint to organize that village.

The money isn't the goal, the community is.

Many American regulatory institutions have crumbled in the past few decades, the FAA being a particularly jarring example.

In some cases it seems like peoples' trust in those regulators may be fueled by nostalgia, but the FDA does seem like one of the few agencies that has retained some measure of independence.

Looking at what has happened in this nation's other industries and institutions, only one crippling decades-long medical crisis doesn't seem all that bad.
> half of the United States still believes Donald Trump really won a second term

The polls I've seen show between 67%-80% accepting the result as correct; none support anything like half believing Trump won.
Unfortunately it is a real story believed by a real US Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene:

Astra Vaccine Is Less Effective Against South Africa Variant
"Marketers promoted the benefits of cereal with slogans like 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day.' Similarly, news organizations position themselves as an irreplaceable daily habit and with slogans like 'Democracy Dies in Darkness.' While the Romans believed it was healthiest to eat only one meal per day and our ancestors only heard about major events, but we have been trained to be constant consumers, so we eat too much food and read too much news.

In addition to advertising how fast you can consume their newsletters with headers like 'all the news you need in three minutes or less,' they promote the benefits of making news consumption a routine. That way, you can be 'well informed.'

Both cereal and the daily news began as well-intentioned efforts to improve American lives. But just as cereal turned into sugar for the body, news turned into sugar for the mind."

Ideally, yes, for sure.

One way or another, it's the only way we get a society that can live on the planet indefinitely without making it less and less fit for human habitation.

How you do that is not necessarily trivial, but we should start doing what we can figure out how to do now, yes. You don't have to do it for everything for it to be valuable to do it for what we can figure out how to do it for.

For meat, simply ending subsidies would be a good start.

Cell phones and other electronics as you point out are another obvious target, yes. Some have proposed that the cost of disposal/recycling should be built into the purchase price -- one practical way to do that, is require manufacturers to take back the products at end of life for recycling or disposal at no charge (and ban them from municipal waste stream).

Yeah we get major problems in a top 2 cloud provider where our on prem to cloud link dropped packets. We narrowed it down with iperf to the packet loss only happening on some ephemeral source ports. Ports were always ok, or always slow. Destroyed and recreated the cloud gateways and all was well. Should say another engineer figured it out. Cloud provider tried to blame our side.

My bank blacklisted me from their online banking portal because of a "suspicious IP". After submitting a number of automated requests to my bank's new security website (a company in another country and only available in a different language), I found out that my IP was marked as dangerous because I ran a Tor service at some point in the past. I hadn't been running it for months but they still had my IP tagged as potentially malicious which was enough for my bank to distrust my ip. I should also note that I also had a static IP back then, which due to this ban, I subsequently disabled. In the mean time I've moved all my external facing (mostly Raspberry Pi) services to VPN and plan to finally re-activate static IP.
Not sure what you mean by that. I'm pointing out that we don't know either Trump or Brexit won because of disinformation, yet people keep saying they did. I think that's because they've been fooled by disinformation themselves. The news and social media gives them a general feeling of causation but in reality, it's just a correlation.
1) run tcpdump on both sides and compare

2) If both sides have the same tcpdump, it's not a network problem. Find the software problem. truss or strace can help

3) If the sides differ; figure out if the network is broken, or the os/network card is lying.

4) If the network is broken, fix it ;)

5) if the os/network card is lying, turn off the lying (mostly offloads, like segmentation, large receive, and checksum) and go back to step 1

This is basically common pattern debugging. I'm not getting the results that I expect; find a way to observe when/where the data in progress changes from what I expect to something else; along the way, being as explicit as needed about what data is expected. The closer you can narrow down where the failure occurs, the more likely you are to be able to find the failure, or a person responsible for fixing the failure who you can give your investigation results to and they can fix the failure.

I quickly read through this and then read a pretty random selection of the author's Substack posts back to October.

I'm not sure I'm prepared to read a critique of the information environment from someone who believes Qanon is a useful expression of a general problem with modernism. "Satanism", you see, is really just a digestible expression of the unmooring of American society from any ethical framework. "Pedophilia" is in fact really a critique of the sexualization of our culture. Perhaps we should be more accommodating of the ravings of a subculture that believes Monsters, Inc. was really a roman à clef.

Was the election fraudulent? Who's to say? Certainly not hand audits conducted by conservative state governments and adjudicated by Trump-appointed judges. No, where there's smoke, who's to say there isn't fire? And after all, no modern political system has any legitimacy to begin with. What does "legitimate" even mean?

You know what really is problematic, though: the "post-truth" story of Rudy Giuliani with his hands down his pants in a Borat movie. Wouldn't you know, this story, L'affaire "Cohen", actually confronts us with the question, hrm, what does it really mean to have been a "Nazi"? The "contemporary conception", as it turns out, is completely detached from its original conception, a "rhetorical banality meticulously constructed to conjure up the most loathsome imagery". Good note. Perhaps that explains why the author so often and fondly cites Carl Schmitt? I stopped counting, and then stopped reading.

At any rate, the rhetorical engine of this article's argument is pretty basic. People have a general distrust for the federal government, surprise surprise. And the public health establishment was, in fact, indefensibly dishonest about mask wearing. As a result, why trust anything? Your Moderna vaccine, my HCQ, the guy living in his basement wrapped in grounding wires to avoid the cell tower radiation, it's all the same. Except the stuff about Hunter Biden. That's real.

A while ago I posed a similar question and the answers/downvotes made it clear to me why; Americans have a broken model of pain management. Americans think that opiates are necessary to manage the pain from most surgeries, back pain, headaches etc., so, they get opiates to do that, with the obvious and foreseeable catastrophic consequences.

Some form of prison is necessary, and it serves three purposes:

- rehabilitation

- deterrence

- protecting society from the criminally inclined

Every society, including the most liberal, have found some type of prison to be necessary. It is not inherently barbaric, and it's the minimally barbaric option when dealing with a murdered for example. Public torture doesn't fulfill all three objectives, especially not the third, and is therefore a non-starter.

Note that this is distinct from claiming support for a specific instance of a prison in a specific country, which may well be barbaric.

> Not to get too autobiographical here, but isn't divorce a pretty healthy outcome to a marriage? So not 100% the most helpful thing to measure.

Do you have any evidence of this? As someone from a Muslim country, my family universally has stayed in bad marriages. My wife, an American, has a family rife with divorce. (Not just her parents, but the whole community. Many people don’t really realize this—among those with college degrees, almost 80% of marriages will last 20+ years. But among those with just a high school diploma, it’s just 40%. In lower middle class communities, kids with parents who are divorced are the norm.)

It’s not clear to me which one is better for the parents. But unhappy parents seems superior to divorced ones for the kids. The financial and structural disruption on kids from divorce is massive. It’s not just individual, it’s the whole community. In the lower middle class communities where my wife’s family is from, divorce is the norm. And I can see kids suffering from the disruption, and wanting stability, but having no role models and no guidance because most people around them are divorced.

This is obviously anecdotal. I’d be curious to see data—to my knowledge this hasn’t been studied rigorously. To me, the notion that “divorce is a fine outcome for marriage” is something that is counter intuitive enough to require some evidence.
Yet another piece of documentation that will be out of date in ~1 year. I have seen and read too many pieces of internal documentation that is just outdated because it’s no longer maintained or the project changed too many hands and the internal architecture deviated from the original.

2020 Almost Killed Me
I agree.

As a meat eater, these recreations are a joke. They can just about compete with chicken nuggets. I don’t like nuggets. So I’ve come to regard them as inedible. Same goes for vegan “cheese”. Bleurgh.

And the thing is, I love falafel. There’s bound to be plenty more plant-based patty things. Veggie dishes that don’t pretend to be something they’re not are delicious. Give me baked onions, baba ghanoush, and celery all day.
How did you survive 2020? Let's talk about it.
When it comes to coronavirus, the war on disinformation is a war on loss of life: Antivaxxers, antimaskers, sanitary anticompliance people are causing people to get sick and die.

When it comes to elections, the war on disinformation is a war on consolidation of power / tyranny. Trump wanted to run the country like a company. Companies are not democracies and do not have a balance of power.

It's very simple. Your freedoms come with responsibilities. You are free to wave a "don't tread over me" flag. But that flag doesn't give you the right to tread over other people.

You want to feed our crops with animal products? Like pour some ground meat in the cornfield?
The reason that I will be buying plant-based meat things is because they smell, look, and taste like meat.

But that's a whole thing altogether. That's like completely missing the point. You aren't going to get meat eaters to switch to plant-based meat patties if they taste like vegetables or fruits.

I don't know what you mean by this. LaTeX is a type-setting system ... in what way is this site/page a "LaTex only explanation"?

I don't know what LaTeX equations you might be referring to.

Also:

What LaTeX are you referring to?

Seriously, LaTeX is a type-setting system, and LaTeX equations are just markup. I see neither of those on this page, so I don't understand your comment at all. Could you explain?
I this is absolutely crucial for almost any project where you can't necessarily directly instruct someone on how it works.

Ask HN: Transition from Scratch programming to mainstream programming
My 12-year-old's project [1] is featured on the Scratch website, which is a great surprise to me. I saw her hanging on Scratch but didn't realize she could go this far without any help from her parents. I actually tried to teach her coding a couple of years ago but she showed little interest. In retrospect, I guess what I taught was too boring. She is clearly more into making animations and minigames. I wonder how I can keep her interest up and help her to transition from Scratch to mainstream programming.

I am a decent programmer in multiple languages (not in Scratch) but I know little about coding education or game development. I googled around and found various articles on teaching kids programming, including [2] and [3] from Hacker News. However, each case is different. I'd love to hear about your experiences. Thank you in advance.

> If GPL licensed source code is required for a program to compile, the program must also be under the GPL.

This is obviously wrong too, or else everything compiled by gcc would need to be licensed as GPL. If you distribute a GPL licensed program then the recipient must be able to build the equivalent program from source (e.g. you can’t rely on an internal toolchain that doesn’t have a publicly available alternative) but that isn’t what the author is saying.
I don't think anyone would object that that kind of negative reaction to a repeat offender (the hypothetical manager) who has demonstrated through repeat behavior that they have little respect for their employees' expertise.

What is a bit more pervasive, though, is a growing belief that any question of the form "why can't you just...?" is inherently condescending and rude.

Yes, I agree that a "help me understand"-style question is the ideal way to ask, but I think people have definitely become more (IMO unreasonably) sensitive against the "why can't you just...?" form, when often it's asked innocently and without a trace of disrespect.

Something I always try to remind myself: I can't control other people's behavior, but I can control how I react to it. We should try to gently correct truly bad behavior when it is safe and constructive to do so, but it generally does us no good to get all worked up about it in the first place, especially if it's something as benign as a poorly-worded question. And being impatient with these sorts of things can be to our detriment; sometimes a fresh, layman's perspective can provide an insight we hadn't considered.
