I did not read the article. But I am completely done with these kind of headlines. Scientists have apparently solved all kinds of momentous problems. It doesn’t matter unless I see it at my local drug store or doctor. That’s it. I’m not paying attention unless it’s tangible.
> Figure out some complex method to make a backdoored key which is backdoored in a way that _only they_ can exploit.

I don’t disagree with your conclusion, but we are pretty sure the NSA has engaged in these attacks before: launching and pushing to standardize a patently bad RNG with very suspicious constructs and then bribing RSA Labs $10m to make it the default in their products.

So option three isn’t just good in theory, the NSA very likely put it into practice with Dual_EC_DRBG.
It all boils down to Glyphosate... literally, because the water is all polluted with the stuff.
Internal communications are pretty different from a news article. A company can enforce a culture & policy for internally discussing mistakes. Publishing details in a popular outlet like Ars Technica opens up individual employees and the company in general to unproductive and unfair polemic, especially if the company in question is already unpopular for other reasons. It's no surprise that few companies open up their internal communication to public scrutiny.
This is good news, now how about distribution of that supply?

Great, another way to load up on Omega 6 acids via vegetable oil. Exactly what Americans need. Hello obesity and inflammation disorders. The for-profit medical industry in the US will love this.

I'm a vegetarian, so it doesn't affect me too much, but you meat eaters may be better off with moderate consumption of actual (good quality) meat.

I'd imagine that the amount of actual animal tissue humans would otherwise consume, that ends up in any of those products you mentioned is negligible.
But it doesn't. The experimental procedure seems to involve a spinning disk that either allows light to travel through its entire diameter or not in an instantaneous fashion. I challenge you to try to fabricate such a device.

You'll run into an obvious problem that the disk doesn't have infinite rigidity. Otherwise you could solve the one way speed of light problem by simply poking a button at the receiver's clock with a long stick. Clearly the wave propagation through the long stick happens much slower than the light getting there...

From Wikipedia

"As of 2019, five states (California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Oregon) and the District of Columbia have localities in which some form of residential rent control is in effect (for normal structures, excluding mobile homes). Thirty-seven states either prohibit or preempt rent control, while eight states allow their cities to enact rent control, but have no cities that have implemented it."

I think books that teach through projects is a relatively recent trend. C is too old for that, and already phased out of mainstream (in the sense of everyone's daily programming language) long before the trend picked up.

There still exist such books. C is a system programming langugage so you have to look in that direction. There is a compiler book called "Game Scripting Mastery", which was an early 200X book that holds your hand through making a working Virtual Machine of a C-like scripting language. It is written in C and has the full code for that Virtual Machine. This is definitely a "learn-by-project" book.

I think you can probably find more examples by looking in that direction. There is another trick: Browse the websites of top 20 CS universities and find all their system programming labs. You will guarantee to find many mid-size C projects.

Last but not least, here is the famous awesome-C project list. Treat yourself. Many of them are walkthrough type tutorials (e.g. write a text editor in C) and can be very fun to code.

Which says on page 17:

> Livestock emissions are almost entirely CH4 generated from enteric fermentation and manure management, and most of the livestock emissions are from dairy operations.

Enteric and manure management seem fairly close, both between 11-12 million tonnes with manure management being higher by some hundred thousand.

I'm not sure what manure management is, I'm sure part of it is transportation, etc, but that's not "almost all of livestock farming emissions."

In this paper (the errata):

The scenario of a 50% reduction in animal products targeting the highest-impact producers delivers a 20% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions.

The Natural Vitiligo Treatment System (TM) ~Special Offer~ with 3 Months Free
(Not an expert) I read the first few paragraphs on that link. So, by analogy, we might call (normal) crystals with flaws "space crystals". Or maybe they should be "space-flawed crystals" and "time-flawed crystals" - a "flaw", in the usual sense, being a break in the regular crystalline structure. The adjective describes the (nature of the) breakdown in regular structure, not the regular structure. No? I wouldn't defend "space crystal" as a "technically very accurate name".

For a random line worker, sure. For the CTO, the position is absolutely relevant. You can't have a conversation about what processes or procedures might have caught this without taking that into account; in every small company I've worked for the CTO was either tacitly or explicitly able to bypass any amount of code review etc..

The fact that it's the CTO is informative, educational, and important, and should be reported. Their personal details are irrelevant but hiding them would also be meaningless.
Interestingly, to me at least, I knew a local music store that made their own instruments for years, and had a kick drum shaped almost exactly like the one on page 1 of the pdf linked to (like a kidney bean). Of course, the head was ancient, as the creator had (IIRC) REMO put their heads on the hoops that he custom bent and sent to them.

Sounded different than a normal drum. Was pink sparkle coated, so perhaps that had something to do with it :)

The drum kit is still in the shop to this day (crazy old guy wants far too much for anything in the shop, as it has been there for an eternity, and well, all old is expensive, right?) I think about that set every now and then, as I myself was interested at one time.

When animal smugglers are caught at the border, the police has to handle the animals. They can't release them into the wild, they can't repossess and sell them because of the unknown health risks and costs, and they can't keep them at the border for all time. The most common result is thus to kill them.

Similar when there is an dangerous pandemic among animals, the most common response is to kill all the sick and those close by. Culling is the most common response to bird flue.

For obvious reason we do not treat humans in the same way, and it would be extremely inhumane to do so.
An apple watch will end up in a landfill where it will lie for millenia harming nothing. Some of those plastic straws will get into the ocean, local parks, streams and on where they will harm wildlife. Landfills are not the worst thing in existence.
You might wonder how "a shady outfit called Isabella Laboratories" discovered the only diet pill that worked. They were just commercializing, recklessly, others' research. This 1933 JAMA article told the world about 2,4 DNP's striking effects:

"Actions And Uses Of Dinitrophenol: Promising Metabolic Applications"

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/24402...

https://sci-hub.se/10.1001/jama.1933.02740280013006

2,4 DNP was being scrutinized due to its poisoning of explosives workers during the First World War.

The whole paper is worth reading. The benefit and great danger of the compound are stated very succinctly:

"When dinitrophenol is given to experimental animals, it causes an increase in metabolism within one minute after injection, or somewhat more slowly, when given gastrically. The increase in metabolism with doses of 10 mg per kilogram or less is about 50 percent. With higher doses, metabolism may be increased fourfold or more, until the animal produces heat so fast that it may be killed by the resulting fever."
I agree, but I don't know if it necessarily needs to be very good for us to evolve to eating it. We could have either already been adapted to eating it, or it just needs to be the most viable food source among few. If the only thing around to eat is treebark, there's going to be something that eats it, but not us, so we eat that thing.

Ask HN: What is a good equity split in my case
Albert starts hacking on a prototype project on june 2018. He works full-time on it. In march 2020, the project looks promising (made ~3000 usd) and he convinces Bob, a random guy he met on reddit, to join him. With the help of Bob, things take off. They invest 40k of their own savings in the project. From march to december 2020, average growth is about 100% per month. In July, Carl joins the project. In January 2021, growth slows down to about 30% per month, and total profit is 20M. In march 2021, Dan joins the project.

All of Albert, Bob, Carl and Dan work full time and plan to continue working for a long time on the project and consider themselves cofounders.

The project is a proprietary trading algorithm whose future profits are uncertain depending on competition and market conditions. Their plan is to scale up as a proprietary trading firm.

What would be a fair equity split between A, B, C, and D ?

I was really excited about Power Platform (or whatever it’s called) because it seemed like a cool IFTTT across azure.

It has a long way to go. Unpredictable errors, no version control, widgets that stop working, etc.

I hope open sourcing this language helps increase use and support because now it’s a pain to find out what works. And just getting something working is not a guarantee it will keep working.

But I hope they keep working on it, because it’s cool in theory for personal scripting and cloud batch scripts.

I really dislike this take.

For that to make sense to me, I'd have to believe that Aaron died for his beliefs, or that his death caused others to take up his fight.

I don't believe either of these things are true.

Aaron died because he took his own life in the face of an overwhelming situation at the hands of a cruel system. Aaron's death did not further his cause. It was just a tragic combination of humans and inhuman actions.

Aaron was not a martyr. He was an idealistic but troubled good person who got ground up by forces he did not understand, and should never have had to learn.

It's a loss. His ideas and spirit live on in others, yes. But his death was not required or helpful, and he did not die for his cause. It was a senseless tragedy, but merely adjacent to his beliefs.

Do the work. Miss Aaron. Be inspired by him. But I don't believe he died in the service of something larger than himself. I think that take diminishes the real tragedy here, which is that humans like Aaron are sometimes victims of the systems that we create.

Wow, WebGPU support is really cool. Graphics is usually an afterthought in programming language runtimes, which is crazy when you consider that most devices these days have a GPU which is physically larger and has far more raw compute power than the CPU.

I understand why. The extremely proprietary and platform specific nature of graphics APIs and hardware makes it hard. WebGPU is a good choice for portability.

A large portion of animal by-products, almost certainly. I doubt that a lot of what fast-food joints use, would be considered "meat" before it was processed.

Nobody is asking their local butcher for the Cows eyeballs and asshole.
There are market dynamics at play in both places. If the rents are increasing by double digit percentages within a couple years then that means that demand is rapidly outstripping supply. There's really only two options here: Reduce demand by banning people from moving to the city, or increase supply by building a lot more housing. #1 is illegal in the US and likely illegal in Germany too, so #2 it has to be.
Etymological roots of words used in technology and computer science
I always use "test" and never "[" (and I've only used "[[" once when I thought I needed a builtin regex matcher for efficiency). Partly because fish does the same, partly because despite writing bash scripts for years I do not want to have the "[ vs [[" information in my brain (nor should whoever reads my code).

(For similar reasons, whenever I'm grepping for a nontrivial regex, I always use egrep rather than grep, because the escaping semantics are simpler—"if it's escaped with a \, then it's not special"—and again I do not want to have the information of "which characters are special only when escaped in base grep" in my brain.)
A Man Who Abandoned Value
I have a suspicion that many many prospective computer science students go to other majors because they can’t set up their development environment in their first CS class, even though they might be perfectly capable of coding. Getting all sorts of things (dependencies) in the right place (paths) is always a pain, but when you’re getting started it helps to not have that be a problem. I think tools like repl help remove that barrier to entry into the field.

Most importantly to the point, animal agriculture causes more suffering because we still need to farm grains for feed, more than we would have to otherwise. Reducing animal agriculture will have a positive impact on wildlife, reducing deforestation, etc.
If you can, please buy whole (not processed) foods at a farmers' market instead of processed foods from these mega corporations.

- You end up eating a much wider variety of food, depending on what is in season.

- You end up eating delicious foods that may not travel well, such as amazing heirloom strawberry and tomato varieties during the summer.

- You cut out the middleman, and support local businesses instead of multinational food conglomerates.

- You will probably end up eating less meat, but will enjoy the meat you do eat more.

- You'll wind up meeting the same people every week at the market, turning grocery shopping into a social event.

In short, farmers' markets are good for the environment, your health, the economy, and the community. Use them!

The thing is, what's the alternative?

I live in Berlin, and my neighbours are in their 70's. Should they be forced to find a new flat way outside the city because the rent triples over the course of a few years so young tech workers relocating from London can have a place in the cool part of town?

The rental market is different in Germany than it is in other countries: less people own their homes, and getting a housing contract feels a lot more like a permanent thing than when I was living in the US. You pay 3 months rent up front as the security deposit, and most flats don't come with a fitted kitchen so you have to take care of it yourself.
Exactly, this is to increase rent prices by shorting supply, not to protect the people.
The article describes the price as according to the signed contract for a built to order machine. The article didn't tell me how long is a piece of string, either...yet oddly I don't feel your pain.
