>> Yes, many non-human animals would eat you if given the opportunity. Some species of large cats might also kill you for amusement. Does that fact justify you doing the same? Many animals might try to copulate with you. Does that justify bestiality?

What's missing is a good reason to kill or copulate. There are good reasons to kill an animal in order to eat it, in fact that's the reason, to eat it. There are no good reasons to kill... er, well, without good reason... "for amusement" - exactly what is amusing about killing an animal? I certainly wouldn't find it amusing _at all_.

As to bestiality that is er, ugh, yuck. Again, I don't see the good reason. Bleagh.

Like I said, it's not the news itself, it's the phrasing of the subheading that bothers me.

To use your example, it's more like saying "experts surprised female chemist solves problem in particle physics", when "chemist solves problem in particle physics" would have been so much better.

But I take your point.
Not directly related, before I got into learning web eg. HTML/CSS/JS. I put about 6 months down into this thing MS made called Touch Develop. I was able to make apps and figure out how to do stuff but I pretty much ended up scrapping it/not proceeding further. Maybe it helped me learn in the long run... Idk it was neat though.

At that scale, is it even useful to still call it “graphene”? 3nm is only 21 carbon atom diameters. How much of its desirable properties come from bulk effects? (Genuinely curious, I’m not qualified in chemistry).

Sweden is among the emptiest countries in Europe, with massive surplusses of wood. How on earth have they managed to create shortage of housing and over century long mortgages? I have an almost certainity that the maybe dozen of aristocratic/oligarch Swedish families owning the economy of the country made a private grange from the entire country.
The working class doesn’t get to eat luxury food so yeah it’s about replacing all meat with substitutes.
There's still a huge benefit to using CDNs, despite caching being dead - they are almost certainly faster then whatever is hosting your site. If your site is relatively light and has a lot of traffic (especially international), pulling libs from a CDN could significantly increase the amount of requests you can process on the same server hardware and regardless of that, decrease the load latency for your users.
There is no direct evidence of zoonotic origin either. An entire year on and we don't even know the intermediate species, let alone where crossover occurred. With the original SARS this was worked out in a couple of weeks.

Also I've yet to see any slightly convincing explanation as to why SARS-Cov-2 emerged from the wild spectacularly well-adapted to human ACE2.

My bad. Principle the same. Sad story: I am told Australia developed an optics industry in ww2 to supply the war effort. It was dismantled postwar for reasons i don't understand. Probably, was held to be innately unprofitable and not strategic. Similar investment in radar translated directly to csiro radio physics, the invention of one of the first computers, wifi, cutting edge science in lots of areas. Just not optics.
Yes! We have a CSV parser in the standard lib, and HTTP requests that are gzipped are automatically decompressed if they specify the `transfer-encoding: gzip` header.
One difference is that the student loans in Sweden are controlled by the government and have a very low interest rate (it's 0.05% currently). It'd be foolish not taking that loan.
> male chicks

Responding to String's comment: There is this guy (https://www.youtube.com/user/fuller527) that has set up Owl monitoring rigs, streaming live 24/7. I sometimes watch to enjoy nature (and barn owls).

About the the male chicks? There is a chicken/egg farm 'somewhere near' and he is given dead male chicks that he ties in a couple of tree logs twice a day, so that owls and other beasts can feast on. To anyone enjoying looking at barn owls, check out his stream (I'm not affiliated in any way). Around 11pm UK time he walks to those logs and you can see him replenishing the 'food' for the owls.
They may be in negotiations with some patent holder or similar, and just preparing for the possibility that they have to. Adding the strings is a few steps removed from actually removing Rosetta, so the title is misleading.

"Under this proposal, the entire simulation of everything in existence is just one 'grand thought.' How would the simulation itself be originated? It was always there, say the researchers, explaining the concept of 'timeless emergentism.' According to this idea, time isn't there at all. Instead, the all-encompassing thought that is our reality offers a nested semblance of a hierarchical order, full of 'sub-thoughts' that reach all the way down the rabbit hole towards the base mathematics and fundamental particles. This is also where the rule of efficient language comes in, suggesting that humans themselves are such 'emergent sub-thoughts' and they experience and find meaning in the world through other sub-thoughts (called 'code-steps or actions') in the most economical fashion."

I never saw (or see) the need to combine them. Early 2000s I figured in-ear phones (headset minus the phone) would be a thing Real Soon(tm), and then a PDA would be all I need to be productive. I still miss Palm and the apps available on it. Naturally, there is benefit to a connected PDA, but cellular? I wouldn't miss it, if my phone was just my headset.
> There is a solution to this but none of the shitcoins have it implemented, instead chosing to give the creators all the power and majority stake.

What is the solution you are thinking about? Interestingly enough, IIRC, the very first PoS coin did not give the creators all the power and majority stake.
Why do would you say python is like a lisp without parens? Common lisp is warty, battle tested and productive - but the similarities end there.

I tried to use Hy, but even with the most glaring difference mitigated, python felt nothing like lisp. I was still writing very much python.
I haven't seen anything better. It started as a PoC and I decided not to include table detection on the page and require the user to draw box around the table.

I use Tabula under the hood for the cell/row detection and it is really good given the correct mode is selected for the type of table. The modes are stream (find cells by spacing) or lattice (find cells by ruling lines).

Even if it were, I doubt it would make much difference.

Even most petrol cars can't get across Australia's distances in between major cities on a single refuel.

It's much more likely to become customary to just have it transported by a diesel truck to the destination, and then travel by plane yourself.

None of the "new mobility" is suitable for long range travel.

>> It's quite possible that raising and killing other animals with lots of suffering is something we will regret.

I agree it's possible and I believe we should- but what is regretable is the suffering, not the killing.
Whether it is financially sound is another matter.

Yea, this is a big cause of the current 'problem'. It's not so much that people cannot pay off their mortgage in 30ish years, it's that the current financial climate heavily disincentives people from doing so.

It's not even necessarily linked to "Chinese food culture" (which seems to be a somewhat racist trope more often than not).

Bats interact with cattle, from drinking points to barns. It is believed that MERS jumped from bats to camels to humans, yet we hardly read any criticism of the Middle Eastern "food culture", do we?
On top of antimatter generation, we can also collect it in space, as it gets trapped in planetary magnetosphere.

Antimatter harvesting works best in places with strong magnetic fields, which makes Jupiter and Saturn much better candidates ([0] claims Saturn is the best). Not sure how much we could capture in terms of mass/energy; the impression I get is that it may be worthwhile for space missions, but I'm not sure if it's enough to power a civilization.

bitcoin works just fine with any power source, not just conveniently located grid energy. you can mine bitcoin in a remote place and transmit the network data much more easily than you can transport/transmit energy. you could raise the price of fossil fuels by a factor of 1 million and crypto mining would be the least affected of any industry. so go right ahead and try it.
Head trackers are cool, but DJI stuff is a step in the wrong direction there. Right now everything is open, you can write a small Arduino script to track your head with an accelerometer, send the channels through your radio to the drone, and add two servos there that move according to your head motions.

With DJI, all of this is closed. I'd be surprised if you can connect/have access to any of these things.

I don't think this is true. I don't think people buy Macs because "they just work" - as you admit this is no longer the case and yet people still buy them.

I run a Windows machine to play games on. I would dearly love to not run a Windows machine at all. But to play the games I want, I have to run a Windows machine. I'm not buying Windows because I love Windows and think it's amazing tech. I'm forced into buying Windows because the thing I want to do will only work on Windows.

I'm forced to consider buying a macbook again, despite hating how closed the OS is and how dependent it forces me to be on Apple Support's weird shitty lying statements. I have to consider this because I will probably need to develop an iPhone app in the near future and I can't do that on a non-Apple machine.

People buy tech to do things, not because they love the tech.

It's all about personal perception. I'm definitely not a vegan nor a vegetarian, but most of my meals don't contain meat. I don't keep track, but I estimate that I eat meat approximately two or three times a month.

I think you and I interpret "premature optimization is the root of all evil" quite differently.
To me it doesn't mean you should write slow code, but rather that you shouldn't omptimise a piece of code before:
1. You actually got it working and you know you need it (so you don't waste your time).
2. You profiled the system and you know the code you are optimising is actually making things slow, and it being slow matters.

This applies to every metric, not just performance. For example: don't optimise your top of the funnel when your bottleneck is actually conversion.

So measure, and then optimise. Don't optimise prematurely.
If we can figure out how to electrify the interstate highway system, trucks won't even need massive batteries. They'll just need enough to get from the freeway to their pickup/dropoff locations.

Honestly I don't understand why that isn't already a thing, even ignoring the environmental benefits and just focusing on economics. The amount of diesel big trucks consume is expensive. Maintenance is expensive. Even manufacturing trucks with big diesel engines is expensive.

You are right, but there is also the issue that a lot of the South Europe countries have structural problems (corruption, bureaucracy, poor infrastructure) that they seem to be unable or unwilling to address. This is also a factor that's holding them back.
Cool, this camera was installed on the Convair B-36 [0] which is one of my favourite examples of a "transitional platform". It was a bomber with 6 propeller and 4 jet engines. These days we'd call it a hybrid. It's a great example of a product that came out at a time when the new tech (jets) wasn't quite ready but still provided some advantages. But then you have the disadvantages of maintaining both the old and the new systems at the same time. Can you imagine being a mechanic working on this plane? The same as an SRE working in the cloud and a datacentre, or a developer using a modern framework and maintaining a legacy codebase.

> You are right, but why do you think that is the case?

People seek for easy answers in a world that is getting more and more complex.

"It's from a Chinese lab!" is obviously a lot easier than understanding how "everything" (more people need more food, want more meat, meat needs land, this leads to invasions/contacts with more wildlife, this leads to higher risk of zoonosis and so on and so on) comes together.

We can see the same thing with lots of other fields.
> How on earth have they managed to create shortage of housing

Because people want to live close to their jobs which in modern society is mostly in cities. It does not really matter how much empty space/forest you have around them if that means living outside of all the services/too long commute.
Re. Novichok, if there wasn't video evidence of two known Russian agents the Porton Down theory might be more plausible. But Porton Down says they have nothing to do with it and we should just accept their word as fact, just as we have to accept the word of the Wuhan Institute of Virology that there was no possibility of lab leak there.

Or maybe given the global significance of Covid-19, and the obvious conflict of interest for WIV, and especially given that the original SARS escaped labs at least 6 times, maybe some independent auditing and investigation should be done?
The difference is again in whether there is a good reason to do something, or not. There is no good reason to toture e.g. someone's house cat, so it would cause unnecessary suffering.

There is a good reason to kill another animal to eat it: to eat it. But again that does not justify torturing the animal before eating it.
Yeah, I'm that guy. I would prefer not to see ads and claim that I would pay for the privilege. Ads on YouTube didn't used to bother me but as they ramped up the number of ads on each video I couldn't take it anymore ... until I saw the price of the Youtube Premium subscription. I balked at paying so much for the "minor inconvenience" of seeing 5 ads with each video. I figured I'd just watch less video instead.

Side note, Youtube Premium includes music that I wouldn't have used, so maybe the cost of the service makes sense for people who use that.
Have you actually looked at what's exported? You need to do a lot of parsing, and modifying before that content is usable...
> banks in the Netherlands to advise households to borrow as much as they can on a 30 year mortgage, never pay down the debt and put everything in the stock market.

You know banks are not in your side, with a unfixed rate that is just stupid to assume that in 30 years rates will always be low. That is why I payed 40 % of my house upfront, got a low 25 year debt with fix rate (it wasn't easy to find) negotiated now.

I've been using wgpu for quite some time (in D, through wgpu-native bindings). What exactly do you find it horrifying? It's much closer to DX12/Vulkan than OpenGL. The main difference is that it introduces the concept of a render pipeline, encapsulating all render state from shaders used, shader input layouts, vertex layouts, depth/stencil states, color attachments, which can be pre-created and then bound with a single API call. It's a big improvement over OpenGL which required you to track the state yourself or pre-emptively restore most of the state to avoid side effects between calls.
