He was making a way overused and lame joke ala ‘others eating less meat means I can double my meat consumption’
Humans can't digest grass. While we do feed cows corn for at least a portion of their life, it doesn't need to be as prolific as it is.

But we also feed them things like beet pulp pellets and molasses - both of which are by products of sugar production. Unless we are going to stop eating sugar what else would you do with this waste?

Not OP but as someone who lifts heavy weights and often needs 3-4000kcal a day, but doesn’t have a huge appetite, I do care about nutrient density. To me vegetarian diets are not practical because of how much food I would need to eat to hit my macros compared to an omnivore diet.

> No scientist can ever prove global warming to be true

Or to be false. Focusing on "true" vs. "false" leads nowhere except, as you note, to endless debate.

The real question is, do we have models that can make reasonably accurate predictions? That is the right question for ordinary citizens, concerned about what, if any, political policies they should support or oppose, to be asking about any scientific claims.

In the case of global warming, the answer to that question is no; we have models, and they make predictions, but the predictions aren't very good, and they haven't gotten any better over the last few decades despite a lot of effort. That means we should be very careful putting much confidence in those models.

Huh? Give one example of a working transfer of the rent controlled apartment from one jurisdiction to another.

Even if there was rent control both places, you'd have to find a rent controlled apartment in the new place. And in reality, you can't, because nobody is willing to leave their rent controlled apartments in the next place either.
I'm not sure this was the case for us, there were plenty of other courses in the major that involved both widely used language and more niche ones.

I think it was more that we didn't have enough professors who were bought-in to Ada to handle the volume of students in those initial courses. The professor who used to teach all the intro courses (and was the biggest advocate for Ada there) became the department chair and let other people take over those courses so he could focus what time he had on some of the upper level courses. Pretty sure they still use Ada in their concurrent programming course too.

Edit: Got curious and I think this is all the languages I used as part of an undergrad CS degree in approximately the order I first used them:

Ada, Racket, C, Make, x86 ASM, Java, Bash, batch script, PHP, JavaScript, MySql, Python 2, Inform 7, Blender Game Engine visual scripting, ICON, Lua, Erlang, and ROBOTC

I'm honestly surprised how much variety there was despite the only academic language being Racket.
They are. But I still wouldn’t turn to jquery to solve this particular problem.
> The people who oversee and maintain the grid operate independent of government and wouldn't let any partisan elected official touch grid infrastructure with a 10' stick.

ERCOT is overseen by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, which could have the power to mandate that power producers winterize if elected officials passed appropriate legislation (nothing particularly unusual from a legal perspective would be required).

Elected officials absolutely can be blamed for not taking steps to prevent this.

Blaming natural gas for this as a general energy source is as wrong as blaming wind - both are vulnerable but can be protected - but the idea that the state government had nothing to do with it is silly.
I think this is overly reductive.

Speed (or more likely, perceived speed) is only one part of UX, and how much it matters depends a lot on what else is going on and the users expectation. Even focusing merely on responsiveness feels a bit superficial.

Something a bit closer to the core of it is that whenever a user is focused on waiting for your software, it reduces their experience. That can be articulated better I'm sure - and still is only one part of the (complex) equation.
I think at this point they could hollow out Outlook and replace it with a guy who draws the interface on a whiteboard and then sends me a photo of it. That might have similar round-trip latency. /s

Really, a web app wrapped in a desktop app would be fine if it could perform better. I don't even need good, just better.
> Regarding carbon: "removal of livestock in the US would only lead to a net GHG reduction of 2.6% in national emissions. Similarly, removing all dairy would lead to a reduction of just 0.7%.

Methane (molecule for molecule) contributes far more to the greenhouse effect than CO2 so without knowing how much of those gases are from transportation versus digestion, it's hard to tell how much actual impact it has. Focusing on the GHG statistic also ignores the many other ecological effects of animal agriculture like runoff and forest clearing that has significant effects on our carbon stores and oxygen producers like plankton and trees.

At the same time, both transitions would create domestic deficiencies in critically limiting nutrients [White & Hall 2017; Liebe et al. 2020], which is not unexpected given that Animal Sourced Foods are valuable sources of essential nutrition [see elsewhere].

Cows need more essential amino acids from their diets than humans do and the overlap between the two needs is almost 100%. They can't synthesize atomic minerals so they're just a delivery device for nutrients we'd get from other sources anyway. Obviously I'm not suggesting we all switch to a diet of alfa alfa but the whole point of the climate crisis is that our way of life is unsustainable; something has to change and I think most people rather it be diet, even if we lean more on synthetic alternatives, than the total population. This argument made sense a hundred years ago when overwintering was a real concern and transportation wasn't fast enough to deliver unspoiled fresh food so people had to convert inedible plants to edible food.

(I'm ignoring the difficulty of getting a large group of people to switch away from culturally important or locally available staples, which is what that nutrition argument hinges on, because that seems to be the weakest link in the face of an existential threat)
That methane emission meme is not accurate, as simple logic reveals. The methane produced by cows is not going to be significantly more than the equivalent produced by the same amount of plant material left to rot/decompose. One would even have to reasonably theorize and possibly could even conclude that the energy the cow takes out of the plant material to produce milk and meat and heat, actually captures energy that rotting plant material would have converted into methane.

An interesting side story about this issue is that it has been shown a long time ago that ruminants actually enrich the environment (assuming non-industrial practices) through both processing the plant material and both converting it into compost and also seeding it with bacteria, while also trampling the plant material into the ground and thereby facilitating the breakdown. That lesson came out of the discovery of Allan Savory a Rhodesian/Zimbabwean ecologist that desertification only accelerated once huge herds were culled in an assumption that the grazing was causing the desertification, rather than that they were part of the system.

I encourage you to reassess what you surely are convinced about.
I think it tastes pretty good, but I would be surprised if it were any healthier.
It's not just that vegetarian diets are "fine" - there's actually a wealth of evidence that a meat-free diet is far healthier - in terms of risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, and various forms of cancer, for example.

In comparison I've read in an article that spacex explicitly decided to use redundant of the shelf computer hardware in their spacecraft and rockets, citing huge unit and dev board costs and lead times measured in years.

So far it worked fine for their near Earth applications and it will be interesting to see how they will handle long term deep space in this regard with starship. I guess they could still fly a rack encased in lead given the scale and performance of Starship though. ;-)

The funding model is extremely sus. I used to trust them but your criticisms are right on, and their 'the best x' lists have a curious tendency to prioritize brands that already have high ad spend, rather than surface little known indie choices.
Now instead of just dimensions for style, clarity, function, performance to argue about in code review you have a new dimension of terminology to bike-shed too:

"I think this is a boulder of a problem."

"No, no, no this is clearly dust."

"Looks like a pebble to me!"

I get the idea but IMHO you really need from the start to have some way to measure and quantify if this is actually improving code reviews in your organization. Do you have metrics showing amount of time spent on reviews, amount of bugs generated by commits, etc. and are you tracking them going up or down?

I can also see a certain path of dysfunction where people get known by their perception of problems. Suddenly Joe doesn't get asked for many reviews because he's "the mountain guy" that always thinks things are blockers. There really needs to be some thought around calibration and review of people's prioritization. Just adding names and terminology doesn't solve that problem.
Speed, is a minimum requirement of most systems, same as correctness.

It seems to me that basically 100% of the UI/UX developers at the big tech companies are woefully ignorant of the fact that there is a massive amount of data and papers written about human computer interaction. I'm guessing that is because few comp-sci programs even touch the topic, rather spending all their time on more esoteric/mathematical topics.

In summary, a very large number of studies were done in the 1960s-1980's on the _human_ aspects of user responsiveness (important when timesharing became common), how people learned computer interfaces, and how effective they were at operating them. Despite some of these papers being > 40 years old, none of it has really changed because the studies were about humans, less than computers. The underlying computing may have changed from a time shared terminal to a phone in someones hand connected to a server, but in that time the human cognitive loop hasn't changed.

IMHO, and somewhat backed by the science, any system which isn't responding in under 100ms is broken unless its performing something extraordinary. If its actually interactive (like typing on a command prompt) even that is far to slow. User frustration, and loss of attention are real things, and you can bet when given the choice users will pick less frustrating systems. The saving grace for many of these platforms is that the entire industry is trying to be like the fashion industry and follow the latest trends. So it doesn't matter if BigCoX makes a huge UI blunder all the others will follow it down the lemming hole.

So tell me why some of the conclusions in a paper like http://larch-www.lcs.mit.edu/~corbato/sjcc62/ (1962) are wrong. How about: http://yusufarslan.net/sites/yusufarslan.net/files/upload/co... (1968)

Amusingly other classics like https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... are discovered regularly too (1983).

The word "science" is the hard end of what should be a gradient.

Sometimes just "truth-seeking", evidence-based, quantitative or numerate are good enough without having to invoke the spectre of "science".

Maybe we need a general term (rational?) for describing appropriate terms, of which "science" is only appropriate to some fields.

Gentrification is real though. And a lot of Berlin's culture is built by people who don't earn that much.

I'd be interested to know for how many people it actually helps at the margins and how many its just a handout for.

> Second off, I, an American, don't even eat hamburgers[1] more than once or twice a year. And I'm not going to switch all my meat eating over to meat alternative hamburgers.

You're also likely in a privileged class of Americans. Unfortunately the US government indirectly subsidizes meat. Hamburgers and fried meat of sorts are staples of the low-income class. The meat consumption in that class is off the charts, and at extremely unhealthy levels for both the body and the planet.

Ideally, the government should be subsidizing a variety of healthy vegetables for human consumption, not corn (which indirectly subsidizes both meat and HFCS). That policy change alone would fix a lot of nutritional deficiencies, heart disease, obesity, and numerous other problems.
I don't have any statistics to share with you, but in the last couple of years pretty much every mainstream restaurant chain in the UK has added at least one vegan option and few vegetarian options. And I frequently hear non-vegetarians saying that they sometimes choose those options (either because they feel like it's a more ethical choice, or simply because they like that particular menu option).

Some people seem to consider meat a necessary part of every meal. But that number of a relatively small percentage in my experience.
I can sort of see what they mean by appearance, but its not far off looking tidy. The issues are mostly around padding and UI element proportions.

Okay, but suppose I got a job in Berlin - why would I have to live in Berlin proper as opposed to some place out side of Berlin? What is stopping me from getting a place just outside of the Berlin limits?

> This does make one wonder about an architecture that has 4 or more identical processors hooked up to the same inputs and two watchdogs watching them (and each other). If any processor starts disagreeing with the rest it is instantly reset. If any processor starts to draw too much or too little current it is reset. If either watchdog stops responding to the other it is reset.

This is a common set of techniques in critical systems. The smallsat built by students that I mentored didn't have voting, but it had processors with moderately sophisticated watchdogs performing mutual-power-monitoring and simple hardware failsafes. Aerospace control systems often run in lockstep and have voting, etc.

> Keeping the working data synchronized would be the real trick. One could imagine all of these CPUs are hooked to a single bank of redundant and ECC stabilized memory, and all access goes through the watchdog processes which will only let through the ones that are in agreement.

Typically you make the memory redundant too, and just ensure that input and outputs are common and all code is deterministic. e.g. There's Tandem / HP NonStop which use these techniques.

> The end result could be a system that is lighter and faster than the traditional RAD hardened system simply because it's built on a smaller process.

Handling upsets by voting makes a lot of sense. But radiation can cause permanent damage of small geometry circuits. And even with fast mechanisms to crowbar power in the event of a latchup, you're not really sure that you'll save the day.

It's a great way to handle things on the cheap for cutting edge payloads and research projects, though.
Just curious. Like what kinds of products?

The cto should focus on strategic thinking and have one or two devs that lead daily work - and code review for such basic issues (or use a code analyser) to detect sql, xss, xsrf, session management, password based user data encryption, message encryption, and other trivialities.

Large companies are even more likely to run into this sort of issue.

It's still a rookie mistake. Any given well established company will contain a large number of 'rookies'. It's up to the company and everyone involved to make sure these are caught before going into production.
The vast majority of rent controlled cities have rent control boards where landlords can request and increase in rent in case of exceptional circumstances. In those cases, the landlord must show that the rent is not enough to cover maintenance, and the increase is granted.

In general though, maintenance on average only costs ~150-300$ a month, so it's not necessary.

I have seen so many people interpret the standard cautious phrase "there is no evidence for..." to somehow mean "there is evidence against..."
Potential math illiteracy aside, is this such a terrible policy? This seems to me like a nice compromise that provides some stability to the renter while still allowing the landlord to raise the rent substantially over several years.

Downsides that come to mind (but that don't seem too serious):

* It incentivizes landlords to keep empty apartments on the market longer before lowering rents to the true market price.

* It might encourage landlords to regularly raise prices more than they otherwise would, lest they forego the limited opportunity.

I'm normally much more free-market oriented, but I ask with the understanding of how much work and expense is involved in suddenly needing to find a new apartment. Just patching the holes in the drywall can take a full day. Then there's credit check fees, truck rental fees, pet fees, admin fees, move-in fees, new couch because the old one doesn't fit in the new living room fees...

Dealing with fake/fraudulent reviews is hard enough, this is probably harder: manufacturers incentivizes real customers to write good reviews & remove bad reviews. I recently bought a few highly-rated gadgets from Amazon. One of them came with a leaflet saying they would send $50 gift card (the product costs $200) if I review and send them the screenshot. For another product, after I posted a 3-star review, which was not at all negative, I've been receiving a dozen or so emails from different addresses with varying subjects/contents but all asking me to remove that review in exchange for a gift card. I could only imagine how much harder they would go after the 1-star reviews...

I live in NZ as well - forests provide a myriad of benefits, the ones you'd probably consider most importation is the sequestering of co2 and the production of oxygen (that thing you need to live). Beyond that they are a habitat in which much wildlife finds a more suitable environment (forested areas are protected from birds of prey), act as wind breaks across areas such as the Canterbury plains, help with retaining topsoil and so much more.

The shade they provide your BBQ is literally the least important role forests play.
I always thought the other way around is easier:

- if you like more people, then do the tech lead technical track. Why? Because the most difficult part in software engineering is how to deal with people. Since you're already good at it (because you like it) then that's a good advantage you have there. The tech part? You'll learn it.

-if you like more coding, then do the manager path. Why? Well, if you like coding you are probably good at it, and managers usually fail at understanding what it takes to push forward a tech project. The people part of the job? You'll learn it.
