If I'm coming across as accusing you specifically of racism, I apologize, I did not construe your comment as such. FWIW, many "little X" towns in toronto are in fact caucasian...

You are entitled to your opinion and Trudeau to his, all I'm saying is that it's a bit callous to characterize a large number of people as "shallow" or buying into a meme (the thing about loving americanisms) on the same breath as claiming it's a quilt (the implication of which is that there are significant congregational, not-americanized bubbles).

One can also make negative remarks about Americans and their americanisms, there's no need to accuse subsets of other populations of doing things subsets of your own also do, as a crutch for a us-vs-them style of narrative. That's cherrypicking. In aggregate, people are more similar than they are different.

When I say torontonians got over differences, this is sort of what I mean: diversity isn't a driver of outrage narratives for us, just a fact of life.
If you define away neutrality, there is no neutrality, yes. But does everyone agree with your definition?

This seems more like a "you're with us or against us" trick.

"I care about protecting all children" is still neutral, right? But if someone popularized "ICAPBC", by your argument "ICAPAC" would innately become a shibboleth? Something doesn't seem right here, where neutral positions automatically get converted to dog-whistles without any proof.

Singlet Fission: The Riddle of the Missing Energy in Solar Cells – Resolved
The performance of solar cells can be enhanced by utilizing a phenomenon known as singlet fission. A group of scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, has solved the issue of energy losses during the reaction. These scientists discover where the missing energy goes during the reaction. Cell Reports Physical Science has published the outcomes of this study.

Not because Android is prohibiting all sideloading or trying to force DRM on everything.

This is because the app developers don't want their apps running on rooted devices.

If you want your app to be sideloaded or to run on rooted devices, and your app isn't obvious malware, Android allows that.

The government is severely underfunding the NHS, despite paying it lip service

Have you ever known any government departments that don’t howl about being underfunded? The NHS is the 4th largest employer in the world, 1.3 million employees to provide healthcare to a nation of 67 million.

The Labour Party is currently claiming that NHS spending will be cut next year... because the emergency funding for the Covid situation won’t be made a permanent part of its budget!!
> IMO it makes things even worse since these groups will congregate in secret much further away from the public eye where they can perpetuate unbalanced and unhealthy ideas.

That result makes it more difficult for law enforcement to follow their movements, but it also has the effect of making it more difficult to recruit new members and spread their ideas.

The whole reason social media has been so powerful in spreading ideas, good and bad, is because it reduces communication friction and effort while promoting discoverability. If extremists have to move to Signal and Telegram, it makes them less discoverable, and requires more effort on the part of their members. Over time that makes it less likely they'll be able to grow or maintain their numbers.
> Dairy and meat is part of a healthy diet.

Not actually true. For centuries, the traditional Chinese diet did not include dairy and minimised meat consumption too. The oft-trotted-out trope of calcium in dairy is misleading (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/calcium-and-milk...) and even relatively small amounts of meat and dairy increase the possibility of prostate cancer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18398033)

Speaking as a vegan of over 10 years, who is mentally sharper and healthier than I was a decade ago, I also don't agree with the "steep decline in health, both physical and mental". I do agree that certain nutrients, such as B12, need to be supplemented, but the Institute of Medicine recommends that everyone over the age of 50 supplement B12 whether vegan or not.
> The privatisation of British rail has been a disaster

Train company profits count for about 2% of the total cost of the ticket, and (pre covid) the network carried more than twice as many passengers as it was under BR - nearly 2 billion journeys a year vs a steady 800m in the 70s through 90s. in terms of distance, pax-km

1970 36b
1980 35b
1990 40b
1997 42b (end of BR)
2010 64b
2018 81b

Since 1997 that's a 90% increase.

France has increased 40% since 1997, Germany by 60%.

Fares have increased, but this is a reflection of the cost shifting to the passenger and away from the taxpayer. In 2009/10, franchised train operating companies were paid £275m to run the services (and another £3b was spent on the network those trains run on)

By 2015-2016 that operating subsidy had gone, and instead the TOCs paid £1.2b/year to operate their trains (some areas like Northern and West Midlands were still subsidised, but South West trains and Southern were paying their operating dues and paying for the tracks they run on)

It doesn't make sense to justifiably complain about overcrowdning (high demand) on one hand, but complain about high prices on the other. There is competition to rail if the price was too high -- driving, coaches, flying, not traveling, but the fare is obviously at the right level to result in record levels of travel and relatively low subsidy.
>"There's a general phenomenon I've noticed on the internet. Any forum with free speech and little to no moderation becomes right wing. Leftist ideas cannot exist without censorship and moderation."

I've noticed similar and I'm not entirely sure it's right wing but more of extremism of ideas in general. Essentially, the "loudest" people (or ideas) win the conversation without moderation.

I'd say this has more to do with group think and populism. If there is any moderation it's going to steer the ground in a specific direction of populism. The more aggressively shared an idea is, the more successful it tends to be. It's not a linear relationship, but ideas tend to pick up steam (the flat Earth phenomenon blows my mind to this day). Extremists seem to be the ones most willing to verbalize and share these ideas that make them "loud." There's probably some overlap here on how effective propoganda is through repetition. Just look at how ads tend to focus on spreading an idea through repetition and seem to work.

Sometimes modern "right wing" ideas are difficult to discern from other extremists because the spectrum has slid and much of the modern right wing is extremist. To be fair, we have a lot of left wing extremists verging on being bananas as well. I know plenty of conservatives who feel fairly disenfranchised by the current right wing we've been seeing. I don't agree with many of their ideas but they make good points and have civil discussions about their different opinions and perspectives.
Also, the stick is very substantial for covering the 5-hole already. When a goaltender is on his knees, he isn't going to be raising the stick over his head to cover the three hole.

>fiber internet, a MacBook Pro, iPad, and a big screen tv

No, but I (and this is not meant to be hateful) do believe you are out of touch with the reality of this situation. It's not about having fiber, it's about having anything except dial-up or a cell phone as an option. It's not about a macbook pro or an ipad, it's about not trying to do your homework on a shared family smartphone. The television isn't even a thing, not sure what that has to do with anything.

>There are countries with better educational outcomes even amongst households with a fraction of income to their American comparables.

That is a very bold statement. Please cite.

This is also a SUPER bold statement. Please cite.

>You can't just contrast wealth and not wealth. There are other factors that dominate.

And yet, wealth and parent income are consistently shown to be the greatest predictor of future achievement, even when controlling for other variables such as ethnicity, gender, location. My citations:

It gave you a link to be shared, that essentially embedded the cryptographic key to decrypt. It's basically the same scheme that e.g. mega.nz uses too (their "share link" feature), and similar encrypted services.

These links weren't just shared one-on-one in some private channels, but people posted the links in (semi-)public places as well. If it was something actually bad or at least "bad", a lot of times other users, law enforcement, or copyright owners would report these links back to mozilla, requesting the link be disabled and the content taken down.
All three of these are reasonable statements if you remove all contemporary social context. Nobody does that, and the people who use these slogans know that. They're using the difference between abstract context-free understanding and contextual understanding as a gaslighting technique, making obviously political statements and then pretending there is no context and hiding behind "but that's a reasonable statement!"

Consider, alternately, these three statements:

"The social contract applies equally to all instances of human life."

"We should eliminate shame in connection with anyone's race, heritage, or other aspects of their origin over which they have no control."

"There is nothing inherent in markets that perpetuates racial prejudice."

These mean about the same thing but are formulated in a way that avoids this kind of gaslighting doublespeak. It's not hard to do. I doubt those statements would offend anyone.

I assume anyone saying "all lives matter" is racist precisely because it is so damn easy to say the same thing neutrally.
So do arrays. You can never have an "inline" object. It's always a reference.

Java has another problem because each node is an object, though. Every object has (I believe) about 16 bytes of overhead. That will double the size of each node.
I'm in a fairly similar situation, albeit on a smaller scale (6 acres) and I do this for reasons you already mentioned (nutrition, inflation hedge) plus climate change. I have years of experience growing veggies in my backyard and I agree, it takes a lot of money to get the same quality food elsewhere, and some specialties are out of reach. It's also a lot of fun.

I'm also planning for retirement in the 2030s and I'm trying to funnel my software engineering money into a small productive farm/market garden that produces enough to make a small profit and hire some help when needed. I haven't found a good way to offset my initial investment costs as a beginning farmer against my regular income from my main job, but I just started to learn more about Schedule F Profit/Loss from farming. Any pointers on what to read or CPA recommendations are highly appreciated.

At least in SAP (german softwarecompany 100.000 employees) we have to follow gdrp very stricktly and we do.

I don't know if that was the case before gdrp but we have to centraly clarify if and when we store user data, what we do with it and we have to show that we can delete user data if requested.

Not sure how far small companies go through this thow.
>The NHS is a socialist anachronism

I believe the NHS funding and operational model is similar to that used by military veterans in the US.
I don't see how that makes sense.

In HN of all places, I would expect people to understand that it costs money to maintain a product for different systems.

And it wasn't even their fault, your laptop getting stolen is not on them [1]. There's a lot of bullshit with services (like Amazon not refunding you the difference on an order if the price goes down before your item arrives), but this doesn't seem like one of them.

Also, if you paid $70 for designer, then that kind of sucks because I almost always see it for 50% off. Case and point, it's $35 right now.

[1] I am trying to make a point that's purely technical, but I don't want to seem too callous - I am sorry your laptop got stolen, it sucks to lose something expensive that is very important, and has a lot of important data on it. And I know responses like mine are the last thing someone with anger wants to hear (I've been in that position), but I run my own business and I am also on the other side now where it's really hard to deal with situations like this.

Deplatforming works. Simply because of their revenue stream.
If you move this comment one level up it sounds like a clear distinction from the racist right. Making it clear that GP was engaging in a false equivalence. One might say: In a different context this comment is accidentally leftist.

You see the context in which you say things matter. If you should “all lives matter” in response to the death penalty, I bet you’d be met with a ton of leftist support. However if you say it in response to “black lives matter” it is pretty clear that you disagree.

No, there is no truth. I consider all the hardworking people, including Mexicans, who harvest my fruits and vegetables, do construction and landscaping labor, work in meat processing plants, and any other task “to be the best”.

How one can indict Mexico for the opiate problem rather than the pharmaceutical companies and doctors that rubber stamped it all and looked the other way is beyond me.

I love how this article mentions Canada’s Dairy Cartel. They make it seem like such a good thing. It is not. We pay very high prices for milk and dairy products. I would rather a free market where those who can provide cheap and quality get the market share. Instead there is no competition the system is really screwed and definitely not endorsed by all Canadians. One gallon of milk costs us about $6Cad. Mean while if you have a good year and your cows really produce well you are only allowed to bring to market there set amount you produce. So yes Canada has a dairy cartel that price fixed and regulates the entire market but is allowed.

Onionshare, to the best of my knowledge, requires you to have your computer running while the recipient downloads the file. It's a web server. It also requires you to download software.

In this way, it's less convenient than a hosted service which can run in any browser. But yeah, the security of onionshare is good and the fact that you don't need to create an account makes it even better.
Because as someone from the EU, why would I go to California?

The prevalence of caste based discrimination is dependent on the environment that Indian person grew up in. The more urbanized their upbringing, the lesser the prevalence of caste.

That's the thing, in a burger with little else I find there is a taste in the "meatiness", partially that's a matter of texture and moisture, although there's some other qualities of meatiness which I am not qualified to elaborate on. I do like having some seasoning to the meat, at least a little salt, but with an underseasoned burger with decent quality meat and not overcooked, there's still something there that I appreciate, whereas my wife would find nothing redeemable.

My wife has the better tongue for many things, for example there are many vegetable dishes she likes which I find boring, I think the water-i-ness of certain vegetables bothers me more and she is able to look past it to see the other flavors. But I still find I am better able to appreciate that aspect of meatiness.
Yeah, the one in Zagreb has a much cooler story, I think. Plus it's really interesting to walk around town and discover all the planets.
Farming as a business gets idealized in the US and there's often this concept of a good old days when family farming was profitable and stable.

But historically speaking farming has always been a boom and bust industry. Even during the land rush days in the US the amount of space granted per farm was barely enough / not enough to scrape by, even at that time.

Now everything is so heavily tied up with legislation to try to recreate appropriate market conditions that I suspect whatever the actual market would be without all that legislation is an unknown.

I grew up around folks trying to scrape by on their family farms living at the whims of markets that can make or break them over the course of just a few years. As much as I like the ideal of the family farm, I'm not sure it is, and not sure it ever was a good way to make a living (outside some exceptions).
There was no "all lives matter" until there was "black lives matter" and people wanted to say they don't like the message.
