The health of pets matter. We treat a couple of billion people worse, including a small percent of people within our rich population.

If pets are what it takes to help those billions, I think we should look into this.

Pet owners are also an unchecked force, this could all be BS. Without autopsies people quickly make stuff up. But I think it's worth a thought

Maybe for you, but that is not a popular opinion. JSX's rigor is a breath of fresh air in a world that constantly generates low quality html due to loose constraints. HAML had those same problems.

JSX is kind of xml done "right". Differences between children and attributes in xml is very hard to grasp, but JSX has a much better defined structure to it and is super well suited to generate html because of that.
It's always difficult to prove a negative... When you put forward a farfetched 'theory' it is for you to provide evidence.

Otherwise, following your logic, everything and every conspiracy theory should be assumed valid until proven wrong, which is ridiculous.

Example: The Novichok poisoning in the UK happened about 7 miles from the only lab in the country that works on these things. The UK government is actually behind it and they are framing the Russians for it. Prove me wrong.

Now, seriously, considering that bats gave us SARS and MERS, and that they harbour other coronavirii extremely similar to Covid-19 all over Southern China and down to Thailand, the overwhelmingly most probable theory is that the origin of Covid-19 will be bats, somewhere in Southern China. If you think that's not the case then it is for you to support your hypothesis.
lots of people still rather believe in something that "YourDave69" told them on a messenger instead of taking good advise from scientists around the world and working together to get rid of this epidemic.

You mentioned collaborating on annotating the decompiled code. Is the linked code something created manually based on the "raw" results of the decompilation? Or does the toolset allow you to annotate memory addresses etc in such a way that when you invoke the decompilation it uses the nice names automatically?

A version of Amara's law [1] applies here "We tend to overestimate the effect of {THING} in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run."

In his original observation, {THING} was technology, but given how people have had to adapt and survive, many using technology more intensively over the past year or so, I think it applies, and will do so again as the pandemic eventually passes.

Well, there are two things you need to know.

Small amounts of inflation like 2% are necessary because of productivity improvements and full employment. Every year the economy becomes slightly more productive and that means that supply is rising naturally over time. If you print a tiny bit of money then that money can be spent on the excess production and thus companies are encouraged to produce more and employ more people since future prices are always higher than in the past. Think of the opposite. Deflation reduces prices of goods and thus makes it harder to employ people. The coming years can only get worse.

The reason why we have fiat money in the first place is that money has to adapt to us and our economyy, we don't want to adapt to the money.

Ok, now onto the second point. Hyperinflation isn't the same as inflation. Hyperinflation is primarily caused by the inability to exchange currency to purchase basic necessities. If there is a war and all the farmers have died there is not enough bread for everyone. No matter how much paper you have you can't conjure bread out of nothing. The currency becomes worthless, precisely because you can no longer use it for anything useful like buying food. The government/super market will have to import food from a different country. That country uses a different currency. So you either have to borrow the foreign currency or exchange your money into the foreign currency. Money is leaving your economy and being put into foreign people's hands.
Every single coin or bank note that is being printed to e.g. pay back debts or buy food in a foreign currency will instantly turn into inflation and since there isn't enough food for everyone you can never stop the printing press. The bigger and more resilient your economy, the lower the potential for hyperinflation.

The central bank might be doing crazy things but it is not forced to do them. Nobody is putting a gun to their heads and forcing them to do this. If they stopped creating more money the worst thing that could happen is a crash and we had so many of them and lived through all of them that it's really no big deal, compared to hyperinflation.
You can use guards to achieve a lesser version of this in Scala, e.g.:

I'm sorry, but that's not what I'm saying. In particular, I'm not saying that pigs aren't very moral because they'd eat us, because I don't think it's immoral to eat another animal.

I also certainly do not justify in cruelty to pigs, or any other animals, in any way, shape or form. Animals should be killed in a way that causes the least suffering possible.

>> I can imagine a slave owner in the 1800s using the same type of rationalization. "If black people were smarter and more advanced than us, they'd have made us slaves", he'd say. "They would do it to us, so we do it to them."

You are comparing me to a slave owner?

The difference of course here is that black people are just as smart as whites.

> Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I have subzero interest in smartwatches

I hadn't bothered with watches at all until I got into running, as there are clocks everywhere including on my phone in my pocket.

Though I only use that for specific things (telling the time, pace tracking, and breadcrumb mapping when following a trail route or otherwise in an unfamiliar location).

> All these devices will be e-waste in 30 years (most in less than 10).

Even 10 is a very generous estimate IMO. Even though I'm a light user I've gone through a few in the last six or seven years. First was a gps-only-when-paired-with-a-phone-step-counter-otherwise fitbit thing (given to a cousin when I got my next device), I had a Band2 but not long before MS gave up on that (it went on eBay, I doubt anyone is still using it), one TomTom died, the replacement is now a spare (may soon be donated to a friend who is getting into running), the Garmin I currently use is likely to be replaced this year (I'm sliding down the off-road ultra-running rabbit hole and don't have a great sense of direction, so extra battery life on those "not getting lost" features will be handy! (while pretty good at reorienting myself with a map, the watching beeping before I go far enough off course to need to is very useful)) and demoted to being my spare.

And I'm using it as a utility device - people buying them mostly as toys or fashion/showyness probably upgrade even more often (or just bore of, and stop using, them sooner). Even accounting for selling/donating the old device after an upgrade, I'd say most will be abandoned in significantly less than a decade. Much like phones.

If you buy another house to rent out that might prevent this. But the other thing as well is who benefits from the houses? Because now your friend will own the house you like and vice versa. You probably cannot put in any provisions to ensure your friend will at some point get ownership of his house.
New hypothesis argues the universe is a "mental self-simulation"
"The physical universe is a 'strange loop' says the new paper titled 'The Self-Simulation Hypothesis Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics' from the team at the Quantum Gravity Research, a Los Angeles-based theoretical physics institute founded by the scientist and entrepreneur Klee Irwin. They take Bostrom's simulation hypothesis, which maintains that all of reality is an extremely detailed computer program, and ask, rather than relying on advanced lifeforms to create the amazing technology necessary to compose everything within our world, isn't it more efficient to propose that the universe itself is a 'mental self-simulation'? They tie this idea to quantum mechanics, seeing the universe as one of many possible quantum gravity models."
> the answer is supply, not rent control. Supply keeps prices down

Supply requires construction, which takes time, which limits the speed at which supply can be created. Meanwhile, demand has been growing much faster. So far, supply has not succeeded at keeping prices down, while rent control has.

> rent control pushes prices up (for those units that hit the market, which are the only ones that matter in this case)

First of all, units that hit the market are not the only ones that matter. There are already people living in those apartments who don't want them to hit the market because they'd like to continue living there, thankyouverymuch.

Secondly, the Bloomberg article shows that rent in rent-controlled apartments fell and the price for apartments that are sold, not rented, fell as well. The price increase is concentrated in the unregulated market for new construction, where it at least serves the useful purpose of incentivizing increasing supply, although still not quickly enough.

> Having a lot of supply on the market is what those people need, and rent control is what drives them out.

What? No... their landlords raising the rent to a level they can't afford is what drives them out, and rent control prevents that.

> The reasoning is always to help people who aren't well off financially, not to keep outsiders out of your city.

The reasoning is that poor people shouldn't get evicted from their apartments just because someone else is willing to pay more, and if that limits the ability of some outsiders to move there, that's an acceptable tradeoff. If those outsiders are willing to provide for their own supply by paying for the construction of new housing, they're very much welcome. I wouldn't call that xenophobia.
Even without Prop 13, this problem still applies, and is inherent to real estate.

Buying land is essentially buying a monopoly (since land is in fixed supply), and getting access to its rents for perpetuity. Prop 13 gives you even more of the rents, but in places with Prop 13, property taxes are low enough that most of the rents still go to the landowner.

You can compare land to taxi medallions, and see that all the reasons taxi medallions are bad also apply to land. Allowing indefinite ownership of the rents from a scarce resource essentially gives a slice of the future productivity of the community to those who were lucky to buy early enough.
Marketing-wise, I remember reading about the Oil industry heavily advertising on the benefits of plastic RECYCLING, which helped remove the guilt on oil extraction and plastic production, thus helping the large growth in the business[0]. (APOLOGIES for the below sporadic CAPS - I really have to learn how to write bold/italics in HN)

I see the ethical and environmental benefits of eating meat without killing an animal. This makes me wonder the following:

-is this to ensure meat-eaters continue to eat meat (for their benefit) without the suffering of animals?

-is this to ensure that we eat cleaner/healthier/disease-free meat? [1]

-is this to industrialise meat production further with a smaller harmful footprint?

-is this to SELL TO VEGANS? (expand the customer base?). If I can break down the vegetarians/vegans into two categories: a) Those who don't want to eat meat because they prefer a plant-based diet (by choice, medical reasons, etc.) and b) Those who do it for ethical reasons - 'meat is murder'.

-is this to SELL TO various RELIGIONS FOLLOWERS? I am thinking that around 2-3-4bn people do NOT eat a certain type of meat (or another)(pork, beef) for religious reasons. Imagine selling 'non-beef beef burgers' to 1.5bn people in India, 'non-pork bacon' to 2-3bn Muslims, etc.

-how will 'permissible' (halal) meat consumers be affected by this? The 'halal' process defines a ritual that is not possile. Will religion follow/adapt?

Pardon me for hijacking the top comment, but I see so much wrong information here that I want to address:

1) Direct emissions from livestock

Yes, direct emissions from livestock are around 15% of all GHG emissions globally, and less than that in the US or most developed countries. That's because a lot of developed countries "import" emissions by buying cheap meat from livestock agriculture intensive coutries

2) Direct emissions are just the tip of the iceberg, though

The bigger threats from livestock agriculture are land use and loss of biodiversity.

Today, around 45% of usable land is used for or by livestock [1]. That's nuts. That land has something called the "opportunity cost of carbon" - meaning how much carbon could be sequestrated there by natural vegetation if it wasn't used for livestock. And that's a lot. One study that was published in Nature estimated that: "[...] finding that shifts in global food production to plant-based diets by 2050 could lead to sequestration of 332–547 GtCO2, equivalent to 99–163% of the CO2 emissions budget consistent with a 66% chance of limiting warming to 1.5 °C [2]

Biodiversity is a separate issue than climate change (mostly), but if we start fucking it up more its consequences will be more dire, and it's not on the public's mind currently. Today, 60% of all mammals are cows. Only 4% of all mammals are wild life [3]. Let that sink in. Disturbing habitats of species, planting monocultures and changing the balance of biodiversity leads to the extinction of a lot of species. Humans are at the top of the food chain, and starting to erase species further downstream will lead to non-linear events that will endanger us. And don't get me started about zoonotic diseases.

3) Holistic grazing

One comment mentioned that it's better to have cattle on land that's considered "marginal" than not having cattle, arguing that having cattle actually sequestrates more carbon than it emits. Of course, this is total bullshit or we would have some sort of cow pertuum mobile. This sort of livestock agriculture is often referred to "holistic grazing" and is more a cult movement than something rooted in science. Their "research" is often debunked by scientific studies [4].

It's always better to eat plants directly than to process it through a cow or chicken or goat. That's just basics physics.

> * For transport, electric car infrastructure is already growing and hydrogen is exceedingly unlikely to be able to keep up.

There are markets (like Australia) where electric car infrastructure is almost non-existent. If someone puts hydrogen fuel cell cars on the market at the right price point, the electric car infrastructure may never be built.
Yeah, you would need to use something like Pug.js to render the data.

As an alternative (and possibly easier imo), you could add custom JS code on Webflow (it has an embed function) to hook onto its dynamic list functionality and add your own data inside.

In other words, create a list on Webflow with one item in it designed the way you want the final data to look. Then use JS code to override the data on that page with your own data source and to duplicate the list item as many times as you need for your data source

This may be a useful reference: https://cmsdocs.webflow.io/

To be honest I can't remember (and I'm definitely not going to look). It was pretty early in the development of EF - I understand that this problem no longer exists and lazy loading works fine now.

Which I would totally have understood and forgiven if they'd been honest about it. But all the documentation was lying, except this one tiny bit buried deep in the tech docs. That wasn't the first time I've encountered this phenomenon in Microsoft tech. It seems there's a mis-communication between the documentation team and the actual dev team, and they end up documenting what should happen instead of what actually happens.
That really is a weird one, because here in the UK we say 'fortnightly' (for 'every other week'); so 'biweekly' would definitely be taken to mean 'twice per week'.

That also matches 'biannual' (an event that occurs every other year is 'biennial'), so 'biweekly' as 'fortnightly' is certainly to be proscribed, in my book.
Maybe you should try running it before jumping straight to insults? My code is perfectly legal in Python and runs exactly as I said.

Yours:

In [1]: list = []
...: for x in range(5):
...: list.append(lambda y: y+x)
...: [f(100) for f in list]
Out[1]: [104, 104, 104, 104, 104]

Mine:

In [2]: list = []
...: for x in range(5):
...: list.append(lambda y, x=x: y+x)
...: [f(100) for f in list]
Out[2]: [100, 101, 102, 103, 104]

I understand the semantics just fine, and it's very clear what's going on. In my version, each lambda has two parameters, one called y, and one called x. The one called x has a default value, and the default value is whatever the loop variable x's current value is: a copy is made of the loop variable's value, and stored as a default parameter value. There is no assignment, and a variable is not assigned to itself. The parameter has the same name, but the scope is different; within the lambda, the parameter shadows external variables, just as in any function.

This is idiomatic Python code, taught to beginners (search for n=n - it's about this same loop thing): https://realpython.com/python-lambda/

You do the same thing when passing parameters through to an inner function, like this:

def outer(x, y):
def inner(z, x=x):
return z+x
print(inner(2*y))

Shadowing list in a function scope is fine (just confusing), but your code does it in the global scope.

You seem to have a bone to pick with Python for some reason, but to me your attempts at criticism fall completely flat, as they are either factually incorrect or amount to "Python is different from [language x]".
