> Your definition of objectionable isn't my definition of objectionable

It's not, I'm just wondering the rationale. For my part: I'm not going to get rid of my copies of those 3 Seuss books I love—but nor am I going to grab copies of the other 3 just because they're no longer being printed.

Edit: ha! I even called it "banned", when it's anything but. Removed!
You don't really own your house either. Stop paying your mortgage, stop paying taxes, watch you eventually end up the same as someone who stops paying their rent, just through a slightly different bureaucratic process. Sometimes you might not have the liberty to freely modify your home, much like a lease.
To be fair, neither is red meat. Unclear which is worse, though.
Beyond Meat is not like tofu or so, it is designed to be unrecognizable from meat by tasting it - so you won't have to give on our beloved meat. I also don't want to go with a vegan diet just because "environment", but having a reasonably priced substituent which does not contain tortured animals and has lower env. impact - then just why not.
AFAICT, those are renders too
How do Time Crystals differ from the quartz crystals used for time keeping in electronics? Is the only difference that Time Crystals oscillate without needing an electric field?
My point is that if someone hacks and steals all the data on your social media site then they can expose random people by doing analysis on the site's data and make individuals lose their job. Whether that is something good or bad depends on your point of view. Should the consequences of having opinions against mainstream views and venting about them in public make you liable for those views to your employer? Sometimes the venting is honestly stating your feeling about the subject which causes gasps, the firing of the recent Mandalorian star comes to mind.
You're right in general, however I think you're over-estimating the size of Gab.

In this case, it's more of a "everyone gets a CxO title because there's fewer than 26 of us" type thing.
> Meat provides far more nutritional value than any plant

Bullshit, the kind of lies that the meat industry loves to spin.

Nutritional value is not one single measurable thing. And even protein contents (meat's most common nutrient) when measured per gram can be higher in soy and derivatives than in some meats (e.g: pork but and shoulder). When measured by calories other legumes (beans, chickpeas, lupini) beat most meats.

The only nutrient not often found in plants is B12 vitamin. But it can be bought cheap as a nutritional supplement.
I think you are not understanding how bitcoin works, and this exact problem of double spending was better solved by bitcoin. You dont need to trust a third oarty or “online service”, you can dimply run a bitcoin node. If it is that important a raspberry pi and SSD is cheaper than your average credit card terminal.

The credit card network, by the way, is much worse in this regard.
Superb article, huge amounts of detail. I particularly liked Figure 38, which seems to be a lens cap labelled "Remove Before Flight" :-)

The article is also a good test of acronym learning.
> In this manner, I think that clickhouse is better compared as a self-hosted alternative to Aurora and other cloud-native scalable SQL databases, and less a replacement for elasticsearch.

Neither of which is normally used for logging.

I am glad there are some alternatives to ELK. Elasticsearch is great, but it's not as great when you have to ingest terabytes of logs daily. You can do it, but at a very large resource cost (both computing and human). Managing shards is a headache with the logging use-case.

Most logs don't have that much structure. A few fields, sure. For this, Elasticsearch is not only overkill, but also not very well suited. This is the reason why placing Kafka in front of Elasticsearch for ingestion is rather popular.
This is undoubtedly good news, despite what some people in these comments would have you believe.

I seriously wonder if some commenters are being paid by big meat industries to try and sway opinions of richer/more powerful people? Or perhaps it's just the tendency of HN commenters to be contrarian.
So your speech shouldn't be protected?
I think this bit of marketing speak was popularized by discourd - and inspired by team speak and ventrillio - all of which talk about chat "servers".

Its particularly odd with discord, as they clearly mean "instance" not "server".

Sure, it's a chat server daemon (like you could get a web server daemon) - but I think "dedicated private instance" would be better. Should probably drop the misleading bit about "not sharing resources" as I assume instances aren't that isolated?
I don't know how it is in Germany, but in the US, rent controlled buildings can only have the rent increased if the landlord upgrades the building, so it actually incentivizes them to do upgrades, as that's the only way they can increase rent.

100% this. The concept of going out and buying a car, is really only a used car thing. Going out to just buy a new car is unheard of in most of Europe. It's a (often) week long process and you order your custom car at the end.
A mistake can be both "rookie" and widely prevalent. That's exactly how I'd describe SQL injection.

Isn't this just the housing market in general? Why should renters not benefit from the same dynamics that owners do?
I assume you're being downvoted because of the tone of your comment, but this is actually a really valuable point:

> processed foods made from entirely processed ingredients

There's evidence that suggests the degree to which foods are processed (generally) correlates with unhealthiness. And there's also good evidence that meat is unhealthy in various ways.

So, it's difficult to know where the balance would lie: unprocessed meat, vs. processed meat-substitute?

I'd like to add a fourth mindset that I have found to be very useful: try to keep the beginner mindset, even as you become more and more experienced.

As a (motivated) beginner, you're expect to fail, and fail repeatedly, and such setbacks do not affect you emotionally. Of course things won't work the first time—the key is to stick with it until it works.

However with experience and "seniority" people develop expectations of themselves: about speed, about best practices, about performance, or any number of other methodologies. Basically, you expect a lot of yourself. These expectations often have the effect of slowing down exploration (i.e. I'm going to do it right the first time) and can lead to negative-valence feelings when things don't work out (e.g. you have an unproductive day, run into lots of bugs, or can't figure something out).

A beginner will be fine with such setbacks because they don't have a big ego, but a "senior" developer will be—literally—hurt by such setbacks, and they shouldn't be. It's all good. Failure is normal. Just get up and try again.
Response time in man-computer conversational transactions (1968)
A counter argument - billions of people subsisted on ok food for centuries, but somehow in the 20th and 21st centuries people got taller, smarter and had earlier puberties because of better nutrition.

Doesn't that mean there is a quality (and quantity) to nutrition and not just subsisting, that we need to examine? And the claim about meat is that it has a quality that is beneficial.

Nowhere does it say that supply has dropped. If renting is less profitable, then supply of houses to be sold will actually go up.

The ability to rent is not the primary driver of speculation. But it drastically lowers downside risk, which gives less incentive for anyone to pop the bubble.

>I'm not sure how rent control fixes this. If you have 1M families but only 100,000 plots of land, they're going bid up the price until enough people can't afford it. This dynamic is in play regardless of whether there are landlords or not.

Well, empirically, it does fix it, doesn't it?
I'll remind him about the post ;)
Or just people who have a poor memory, or who are not very self consistent. I love things like jquery (and Django and other opinionated frameworks) because it saves me the hassle of having bike shed trivial details for myself and then remember them later. And naming things is one of the two hard problems etc...

I'm highly dubious of the statement that growing plants to eat them is lightly less polluting than growing plants, feeding them to cattle and then preparing the cattle to eat the meat. Cattle does not sequester CO2 like plants do and emits greenhouse gases. Also uses way more treated water.
I'm certainly laughing with how much purchase power Bitcoin provided me so far.

I'll be laughing at your comment in 5 years time once a single Bitcoin will be valued above $1M USD while your fiat currency savings will have lost at least 50% of its current purchase power.

I'd be fine with prison for phone spammers who ignore the "do not call" list. You could argue "free speech", but there's more to it than that - they're invading my space and time when I don't want them.
YMMV, but it's much more than 2.6% in the US. Livestock is 40% of of ag's GHG emissions.

https://cfpub.epa.gov/ghgdata/inventoryexplorer/#agriculture...

And ag is ~10% of US emissions

https://cfpub.epa.gov/ghgdata/inventoryexplorer/#allsectors/...

So eliminating livestock would reduce emissions by 4%.

With that said, 4% is still low, but it doesn't account for all the GHG emissions needed to grow feed for livestock, nor does it account for other things like transportation of that feed, energy used in processing by the industrial sector, and so on.
The linked blog post contains a couple dozen citations, fwiw.
Eh. Don't compare the RAD 750. It's better to compare something that's not domain specific and rad hard.

Compare the PPC 740, which was ~300,000 transistors/mm^2 at 260nm. Apple M1 is ~130,000,000 transistors/mm^2 at 5nm. (260/5)^2 =~ 2700x, but the actual difference is ~430x.

So it's not as bad as line widths, but it still isn't quite keeping pace.
He presents bitcoin as a way of knowing if some event happened after some other event, that is a clock, where are all the bias leaps?
The corn consumed by cattle includes the corn stalks which are more or less the same as consuming grass. Corn is after all in the grass family. The actual kernels of corn increase the calories versus grass, but it’s not like cows are just eating corn off the cob all day long. They need to consume tons of roughage to help with their digestion. I think a good argument is that converting grain and grass to beef is inefficient - if you could have consumed the grain yourself, but the nice thing about cows is that they convert very low calorie foods into high calorie meat that we can consume. If we had to eat what cows do, we’d be chewing all day.
There's really no way to answer those outcomes broadly because, for the vast majority of human beings, we don't count our calories or compute the macronutrients in our food. It's very difficult to see this unless you perform the study on twins, since birth, maintaining distinctly separate, perfectly controlled diets. The most consistent take is looking at it from an anthropological perspective - plenty of societies throughout history fed on a vegetarian lifestyle, which continues to persist today.
Obviously, it still causes suffering, and the supply is even more limited.
For this to scale properly it would need to rely on creating a new market for seaweed farms with the purpose of sending to feedlots. I have a hard time imagining this actually happening.
It's ok you can just drink beer (!1l a day) to get B12

The title seemed like clickbait. But the video that the article links to is pretty interesting:

Plus an even larger issue is soil erosion, which reduces the soil's capacity to act as a carbon sink: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news/soil-erosion-decreases-soil...

Returning to the most sustainable method of raising cattle, grazing, (such as simply letting cows graze) is pound for pound the most effective way to greatly reduce the carbon footprint left by industrialized livestock production, and restore soil quality.
What I don't understand is why the modern js api didn't just adopt query's conventions... they're so much nicer and more expressive most of the time.
I agree that the downvote mechanism on HN could use some refinement!

Funny thing, when I went to quote the specific HN guideline, I'm almost certain it used to say "Please don't comment about downvotes. It never helps" or something very much like that.

But the current guideline says:

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Which we're all in violation of! I'll do my best to follow this rule in the future.

> however Vitamin B12 can only be found in meat and eggs.

That's not quite right. B12 is mostly produced by bacteria on the surface of plants. We can't synthesize it an neither can the animals we eat. So if you eat products of animals that have been eating such plants (or these days, maybe supplements), there is a source, and especially in developed countries is often the easiest one.

It's an important vitamin, deficiency wise, and for humans there are 3 practical approaches: eat products from animals that consume B12 on plants, eat those plants, or fortify another food more directly.

The 2nd one sounds like an easy win, but is made harder by the fact that most processing (e.g. even vigorous washing ) will remove all the B12 as it is superficial and water soluble.

It's also worth noting we don't need much B12, and we don't need it every day, so managing this isn't very difficult.

I think it’s time we start expecting 100% memory safety as table stakes, because any flaws are catastrophic. Moore’s Law has more than paid for it; Android could run an animated display and a Bluetooth stack in a wristwatch seven years ago.
It is always interesting when people complaining about having their speech suppressed turn out to hold (in the former case) extremely orthodox, standard views or (in the latter case) fairly common views, instead of obscure or actively unpopular points of view. (I'd certainly appreciate it if the latter weren't common, but it polls shockingly well in the US right now)
The block size is not a limiting factor in transactions. And it was quadrupled in 2017.

The biggest problem with bitcoin is that scammers spread FUD to justify their scam coins and too many people believe the FUD.

You are repeating FUD here and basing it in your non-understanding of how bitcoin works.
I agree. I once tried beyond meat by accident (some vegans were visiting and did a switcheroo on me) and it was one of the most repulsive things I had ever tasted.
Meat and eggs. So you need eggs. It’s also present in dairy.

So the parent’s claim is an argument against unsupplemented veganism, and your counter of vegetarianism doesn’t address that. Massive difference between the two diets in terms of needing to supplement or not.
Well, capacitive is what we have today. The old ones, that you actually had to push (and not just touch) were resistive :)
Thhere's also evidence for the contrary. If you care about any dieting at all and watch your micros and macros, you will invariably be above average in health.
Ah, very good to know. Don't use Roam too much these days ;) Sometimes it's hard to know if their performance issues stem from networking (they use Firebase) or just client stuff (i.e. datascript and Reagent, Clojurescript's React wrapper).
First question: I looked mostly in the center, nothing more than 7 kms away from my workplace. I needed somewhere that I can commute by bike, since the traffic and the fight for parking spaces are too exhausting. S-Bahn is too overcrowded.

Identity theft is reversible. It has happened to me, somebody got a hold of my checking account details and drained the account of about $10,000. I called the bank, they reversed the transaction and gave me all my funds back right away, and it was over, just like that, no questions asked.

What happens if your bitcoin details get stolen, hm? What happens when somebody drains your bitcoin wallet? Who can you complain to to get your cryptographically secure irrevocably transferred money back?
Strict vegans are the only ones that typically have the B12 issue. Most vegetarians still eat a lot of dairy and eggs so still get B12 in their diet. Also a lot of foods are 'fortified' by government regulation to avoid common nutritional deficiencies that would arise with their standard diets, so it's hard to take certain things at face value.
Beyond nutritional or environmental reasons to reduce meat consumption, there are ethical considerations about the consciousness of the animals we slaughter.

It doesn’t matter how we get people to be less reliant on factory farms, so long as we do.

We must examine every avenue that allows us to reduce the suffering of animals.
SPAs were never good, the entire notion of them or shoehorning full apps into a browser is a farce. But, as parent says, that ship has long sailed
If your direct dependencies pin their dependencies, then you will definitely end with conflicting versions for your transitive dependencies.

This might work in environments like Node, where each library having their own private versions of their dependencies is acceptable, and Rust/Cargo in some situations, but doesn't work in environments where only one version of a package can be present (e.g. Python) or you care about the total size of the dependencies.

Also if you're auditing, wouldn't you audit all dependencies? What does it matter whether they are pinned by your direct dependencies, wouldn't you yourself pin down the transitive dependencies after auditing them?
Do you think there needs to be the infra to support the self hosting or the “killer app” first to drive the early adopters?

The web had interoperability but it was largely ignored and then replaced by silos and walled gardens. The Web 2.0 cognoscenti made a lot of the same mistakes as the Web 1.0 cognoscenti about how systems would be used and received by "normal" people.

A lot of good ideas had terrible usability and didn't get to a real tipping point. Contrast that with social media sites (even back to MySpace) that were far more usable to the average person.

As as an example, look at RSS (any version including Atom). It is a great technological solution for the Web 2.0 proponents. They were interested in long form postings and had a lot of posts on similar subjects. Their posts had titles, some categorization, and maybe even semantic elements. Making a "feed" to syndicate those posts was a pretty useful thing both for their visibility and you and I as readers.

What RSS doesn't offer is a good way to express short form informal posts on mixed subject matter. Even posting a simple link to an interesting page or just an image isn't well expressed with most RSS generating software and not handled well by the format or feed readers. Even the word "subscribe" implies a bit of a formal social anti-pattern.

Compare that to most social media sites, even going back to MySpace. The presented users with a single content field. The UI basically asked "What's up?". There's no implied formality of a post title or categorization. It just plops on top of a stack of your posts on your "feed".

That's not to say what social media sites have done with those user feeds is necessarily good (echo chambers, engagement manipulation, etc) but they served a desire of a lot of people. I'd venture that most people don't want to sit down and make long form posts with cognitive load like titles and categories.

Large social media sites have no use for interoperability because their money is made on engagement with their site/app. The Web 2.0 visionaries spent a lot of time navel gazing and being focused on their areas of interest so they missed a lot of thing social media has implemented. We're seeing interoperability start to happen again (Fediverse etc) with people taking the informal social media models and applying Web 2.0's decentralized concepts.

It's not clear is the decentralized social media can hit a critical mass of users because multimedia, especially video, is a huge draw for social media users and is hideously expensive to host and distribute. There's also effectively zero monetization and a lot of people are trying to be professional social media users.
in an ideal world, yes it'd be nice to quantify. in practice, it would take extra dev time to quantify. time that we dont have. we have to rely on our engineers' subjective feelings about our engineering practices.

i understand the desire to be data driven. and your point about making everything a blocker. if you're at a point where you dont trust the judgment of your colleagues, you should drop everything and address that right away.

but, most of the time, operating in good faith works.
Further, with a closed model, one can always peruse the emergency clause, force majeure, the ever popular "state actor".
