> You started this debate by stating as a matter of fact that people “like the taste and the texture [of meat]”. I am trying—albeit really poorly—to say that that simply isn’t true.

The popularity of these products, compared to the multitudes of veggie patties that came before, proves you wrong.

The market for these meat-tasting meat-textured vegetarian alternatives is much bigger than the market for veggie-tasting bean patties, because there are a lot more people who like the taste and texture of meat than people who like the taste and texture of bean patties.

If it were not so, these new products would have failed as horribly as the ones that came before. But they're not, because the closer they get to the taste and texture of meat, the more popular they become! Why? Because people like the taste and texture of meat!

I understand that you are sad and angry and upset that people like the wrong food, and that people should like the right food, just like you do! But you're in the minority opinion on this one, so suck it up, buttercup.

> I won’t be eating the Beyond or Impossible products because, honestly, they suck compared to the alternatives.

The one thing that comes through in this discussion, which I also laid out in another subtree, is your intense food snobbery.

These new meat alternatives technically make people vegetarian, but they're doing it "wrong", so they're not "real" vegetarians, they're not yet enlightened to the glorious "infinite" tastes and textures of real vegetarian food. So if these horrible lowbrow troglodytes could just go back to eating real dead cow meat, people like you can go back to feeling smug and morally superior again, and then everything is right in the world and you don't have to descend from your ivory tower to scold the masses again.

Get outta here.

I think the main takeaway over zip is that with zip you need to actually run “zip” before committing whereas here you can declare it in “code”. I don’t see the benefit over shipping a skeleton directory though.

I don't think this makes sense. If Neanderthals are the same species then there wasn't any mixing, it was just regular procreation. If there was mixing then Neanderthals necessarily were other species.
The urge to signal my intelligence is irresistible, here's a meta-contrarian position for ya: High finance is a form of Numerology.

Change my mind: Show the economic theory that predicts things.

Physicists have the Standard Model, and it's really good, like Feynman says, "thickness of a human hair over the distance from NY to LA" good. I say that a proper scientific economics can be better understood as ecology + psychology.
They aren't tourists to that seems to make sense.

> While I'm not a fan of how the Ethereum project and ETH token is managed

There is a real possibility of BTC finding home on Ethereum network in future. Recent advancements in cryptography make building of fully trust-less bridge between two possible, without requiring any changes on Bitcoin side. So possibility will be there. As for the need - there is no indication of Bitcoin moving towards solving time-bandit attacks. They will become a real issue once block reward falls. I'm skeptical that Bitcoin as a project is even capable of solving this problem. It would require additional emission of BTC, and "21M BTC meme" is way too strong.
Do you frequent any forums or sites recommend for the serious amateur interested in the production of the sci-fi?

I especially appreciate this discussion. It’s fun to think about the gaps in our imagination. Especially when it comes to science fiction, those gaps are often wider than we think.

Good luck with your work! I’ll be on the lookout for Invisible Sun, unless you recommend a different title.

Besides ML, do you have any other fururist predictions that are not being realized in science fiction?
Not exactly what you asked for, but PathBank is a database that quantitatively describes a large part of what we do know: https://pathbank.org/

As far as what we don't know, I'm not sure there's a list. Lack of knowledge implies lack of awareness. I can offer one example: We don't know much about the processes by which collagen fibers are grown and assembled into μm- and mm-scale load-bearing structures in tendon, ligament, bone between embryo and adult, particularly in mammals. Or the extent to which collagen fiber structures are capable of turnover in adults; healing might only be possible by replacement with inferior tissue such as scar.

Personally, I think the complexity of biological systems, and the difficulty of observing their components directly when and where you'd want to, means that they can only be understood with the help of machines. Not necessarily using convolutional neural networks though.
I think this will be the next big gadget. It makes no sense that I need an iphone to couple with the watch if a PC/Mac could do the same. It's just apple trying to sell more iphones.

Also, audio-first apps for watches will be huge, and already a great niche to experiment with (although ability to code apps
is still limited)

Is it more important to design the device to be repairable affordably or to be affordably in the first place? At $40 a pop it's hard to justify any repair on those RPis. There are much more valuable devices out there which are less easily repairable.

> Why is it just that Bezos take a backseat here? Without the pioneering achievements from SpaceX, Bezos wouldn't have the certainty that such a network is even possible. Over the past two decades, many, many ventures have gone bankrupt trying to achieve what SpaceX has done.

That's all irrelevant to the consumer, 20 years down the line.

What I see: Two tycoons battling it out. It doesn't really matter that one of them is a (very clear) follower in this field; competition is crucial in the long term.

> SpaceX has earned its success

That's not how this works. The frequency spectrum is a common good. The FCC exists for a reason.

why?

isnt mozilla working just fine as a software company run on donations? why is libreoffice dependent on 70% development commits by collabora?

this model has clearly not worked in the interest of community so why is TDF even pretending to be someone they are not?

contract work is not same as full time employees.

why this pretence?
could you list some example technologies that exhibit these issues?
In any case, if someone gets die photos of a 6502 that's missing the ROR instruction, I can analyze it and explain what's going on.
That’s fabulous! Seems to be a hard role to find in many companies.
Yeah, this seems mainly aimed at demo programmers, where the absolute smallest code size is the concern rather than the best performance.
More than that. You can actually simulate your execution locally. So you should know if there is a possibility of making a profit even before you send the tx.
Yes, you can connect your Airpods and then listen to Podcasts /music/audiobooks that you downloaded in advance, even if you don't have the cellular version. Takes a bit of preparation but it's awesome for runs, gym, etc.
That is true, less than a third. That is a pretty large minority as minorities go. And almost half 48% live in a house with a firearm. 72% have fired one. It isn't an unusual aspect of life in the US by any definition.
I don't have any aggregate numbers handy, but IIRC Bloomberg has been outspending the NRA for 3 or 4 years
I don't disagree with you, but let me offer an alternate viewpoint on the broader picture.

The NRA has become, for better or worse, the media's lightning rod for the media on gun rights. Could the SAF accomplish what they have the last 15-20 years if they had to be the media's lightning rod instead?
I did indeed misread "president" as "minister", but I don't agree with you that "indirection" (i.e. appointment of officials by elected officials) is "not a lot of legitimacy". It may not be "a lot of directness", but I'm not concerned about this any more than I'm concerned that, e.g. police officers or judges are appointed, rather than elected (certainly in the places I've lived).

Edit: I don't agree that there is as much indirection as you say, either. You brought up two examples of interim governments where ministers were not elected. You haven't given any examples where this happens in er, ordinary? governments and I don't believe there are any in the EU. But I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

The number of such cases is decreasing, though. Recent (ICL and "later" whatever that means) Intel cores have fast-short-rep-movsb which reduces the startup time of the REP. Considering the icache pressure of a hyperoptimized memcpy, it is probably the right way to go for new code.

If you're interested see Google's paper, AsmDB: Understanding and Mitigating Front-End Stalls, section 4.4 Memcmp and the perils of micro-optimization, in which they say that REP CMPS beats glibc memcmp in full-scale benchmarks. "On large-footprint workloads like websearch, it reduced cycles in
memcmp more than twofold and showed an overall 0.5%-1% end-toend performance improvement." And that was on Haswell, before people started selling parts with "fast short cmpsb"
Honestly, I didn't know that specific thing. I was speaking generally.

The first time I said it was to someone who told me that while they personally have no problem with people of other races, they could never hire someone "like that" to work and their business because the racist town they lived in wouldn't like it, and it would hurt business.

This person was totally against racism, unless it would hurt them financially.

Taking an ethical stand when it doesn't hurt you isn't taking an ethical stand.

High schooler here. In a presentation is fine because you're mainly listening to the speaker, but it's very distracting in a written article.
The NRA is not the gun rights organization that the industry backs. That would be the NSSF.
With some exceptions not relevant here (e.g. people holding Federal Firearms Licenses), it is unlawful to buy a handgun in a state where one is not a resident. No gun store will sell or transfer a handgun to a non-resident. And if the state in question allows face to face private transactions, federal law requires the seller determine if the buyer is a resident of the state.
Show HN: Agora RTE App Builder. Build a Video Conferencing App- No Coding Needed
Because everyone else who has tried has gone bankrupt or has to limit the service in utterly crappy ways? Starlink is only economically and technically viable because SpaceX can build and launch high numbers of satellites cheaply enough to bootstrap a sustainable and desirable product. Limiting the scalability of Starlink to make room for a competitor would in the long run make both suck. Now, sclerotic and poor performing monopolies also suck, but for now at least, Starlink is the rapidly improving disruptor.
Shouldn't africans solve their own problems?

I recently discovered 'micro' which is along the lines of nano in a way but more modern and just about perfect for me.

I wish TextAdept had become more popular since I always thought it was a strong choice for a modern editor with solid Lua customization support. But it seems like 'micro' is the popular one. Has 16000 stars on GitHub.
*Barclays, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, ING, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Standard Chartered have all paid fines for conduct that has included money laundering, sanctions violations, and massive tax fraud. In the world of high finance, charging corporate officers in their individual capacity is rare.*

Yeah, we've all heard of these. They only get fined.

*"I can push back on that—big time,” replied former CFTC chairman Giancarlo. “The CFTC has been no slouch in making referrals for criminal action.” He cited Refco and Peregrine Financial as examples where, at the commission’s urging, the Justice Department charged CEOs who later received lengthy prison terms.*

Nope, never heard of these. They go to jail.
I feel the opposite: defi has been shaping up to be seriously useful. There's still a lot of kinks to work out and while I don't see it replacing tradfin systems, the next 5-10 years look very bright!

We will have some crypto winters in the meantime, but the trajectory is undoubtedly going upwards.
Show HN: Ginevar, your bot for freelance job search
Hey guys! I built a bot that sends a message everytime relevant remote job gigs pop up on the web. I mainly use it for small (weekly or monthly at most) software projects but there are many, many more offers I honestly don't care about and might help other people (design, HR, Virtual Assistants, even finance).
We search reddit, facebook groups, Linkedin, and my own private network of 10 years freelancing constantly, and payout is usually around 50$/hr for most gigs.

Totally open to feedback, only goal is being able to help people transition into remote working profitably
I like that "Bloop" sound has subtitles.
Unless the NRA is straight-up lying on their IRS paperwork, they get a fairly small amount of money from manufacturers. The majority comes from individual donations and membership dues
Definitely agree that there is a time and place for visual content. But phones just feel so 2010s, carrying black square around with you to watch junk content just won't cut it in the new decade.

Laptops are far better for visual since you can focus on longer-form content and are less distracted.

I don't see Cloudflare as part of a decentralized web. They are part of the problem as you also describe.

Governments are violent monopolistic organisations, and lobbying is a natural reaction to this. No morality or value creation is to be found anywhere near it.
I tried running it in a VM earlier last year and found the UI to be unusably laggy. It seems there were some issues with virtual mouse drivers or something and this was the "expected" experience in a VM.
Thanks. In this context it makes perfect sense.
> I'm now curious how blind people manage these things.

The key ingredients that make iOS an excellent computing platform for those hard of sight are

* enforcement of UI guidelines that enable the screen-reading to work well

* a collection of accessibility gestures meant for no-screen operation.

NOT Siri.
As someone who has wasted like 30 years off and on learning how to edit like it's 1979 in vim, I recommend you do not do get peer-pressured into that. Take a look at micro or TextAdept or use gedit with sshfs or VSCode or.. just something from recent decades.
Author makes some excellent points.
SpaceX have demonstrated an orbital launch capability, satellite operation capability, satellite de-orbit capability, and scheduled launches in the near term. Amazon have none of these capabilities and barely even a plan to get there by the deadline in 6 years time.

I'm sure both sides are as bad as each other on the competition aspect, after all it's Elon Musk and Amazon/Bezos, I can't imagine two worse people for that. But it does seem a little unfair that Amazon have barely any proven track record and could prevent SpaceX from furthering their very proven track record.

Edit: as much as Blue Origin may play into the plans for this, they have not reached orbit, and do not have an operational rocket suitable for this (yet). Maybe Amazon have signed a deal for launches, but otherwise just being owned by the same eccentric billionaire shouldn't really suggest the ability for the company to pull it off.
> Now, sclerotic and poor performing monopolies also suck, but for now at least, Starlink is the rapidly improving disruptor.

for now at least

If you think of vim as a language to edit text it becomes a lot easier to remember how to do something... if you just try to memorize a bunch of incantations it will be awful.

for instance in normal mode where you issue commands to edit text(opposed to insert mode which is akin to any other editor where it's mostly just typing information into the document) you can issue something like delete a(round) word and it deletes the word `daw`. or delete inner word `diw`. want to change a word? change d to c and it deletes the word and leaves you in insert mode to type. all of the commands are very composable and form a "language" to edit text that's a lot more approachable than you'd think. one fun one is something like `ci'` or `ci"` which will if you are on a line with an open and closing " or ' will search forward in the line for a " or ' and delete what's inside that and leave you in insert mode to make your edits....

some more fun reading: https://gist.github.com/nifl/1178878
I'm far from an expert on this, you probably know better than I do, but wouldn't forking the blockchain at the block height you're interested in with Ganache and execute it there be enough? or is the issue the transaction queue?
If you come back to Clubhouse in a year, you won't recognize what it pivoted to
True overall the price is probably not that significant. I appear to have bought about 250 ebooks for my Kindle over several years. So even if I had saved 2€ for every one of them (which would be a lot), it probably wouldn't really warrant a lot of effort.
Interesting question. I wonder if history will view the years prior to 2000 as mostly American since we have such a passion for digitizing everything and got on the internet early.
RSS, even alone, has a lot of value. I discovered Fraidycat the other day and by default the refresh rate are way way lower than usual, so it kind of follows the "slow web" movement: feeds are updated once a day, so you know there's no need to check the tab every 10 minutes.

"Unfortunately" our use case is the minority and most people want a social network -like experience. That's where users are, and if RSS can't reach them they way they want websites won't implement RSS and will resort to private social networks. As much as we don't want to use websites that way we still need to make it possible so that the whole ecosystem can rely on it. Also, if you can do it with a website, you can subscribe to its RSS feed and never reply if you don't want to.
My understanding is that they are not filing necessarily because they are short of cash but as a mechanism for restructuring.
Every display sport has a consensus aesthetic that is being optimized for.

Don’t expect to be judged well if you’re showing parkour steez at a gymnastics competition.

It doesn’t mean the sport is wrong, it just maybe means you should pioneer an alternative sport or category to suit your target aesthetic.
Thanks, I forget people wouldn't know.

I enjoyed aussie rules as rugby seems almost as brutal as american football without the protection. Also at the time there was way more neck down contact. I saw multiple neck breaks that way 10 years of football.

Aussie had more glancing contact and seemed weirdly safer. for values of safe.

I would not play it at the level the pros do. They're brutal. Watched 2 games from the G and one from the gabba while I was in oz summer Aug 2019.
A new look to social media
Do civil unions have the same “benefits” of marriage? If not there should be.

I think the distinction should be socio-cultural: if you don’t accept that this civil union is “till death do us part”, then by definition it shouldn’t be marriage - it’s a civil union. All the same benefits of marriage with none of the cultural components.
Siri is bad. Voice control over audio playback with google assistant on my nest hub works perfectly well. Actually it performs better in my native danish than siri does in English...
Yes, many people forget that the NRA is more than politics. It helps range startup and operations, runs a training/safety/certification curriculum, facilitates sports/competition events, standards, and materials. These are dimensions that GOA and SAF have nothing to do with.

The foundational role it has in gun culture probably makes it a juicier target than their lobbying, considering they are consistently outspent by the gun control lobby in state ballot measures each year.
you don't need to eschew model editing if you go to something like vscode... there's a great neovim plugin for vscode that gives you full vim in the background but also has a nicer vscode interface for the frontend.
How usable is this as a general purpose OS? I seldom see people running it outside VMs. How hard is it to find compatible hardware such as wireless cards. Does sleep/suspend work reliably?

Lastly, I just LOVE the aesthetics. Even XFCE could not resist the allure of "improved" themes and also ended up welcoming CSDs.
How San Francisco Renamed Its Schools
Slightly off topic but I find that green website frame to be incredibly distracting. Aren’t mobile phone screens small enough with adding extra padding around the inside? And the highlighting that unused space is a just bizarre to me.
