If anyone wants to give a try, it's worth noting a few things if you come from vim:

- if you are on osx, you'll may find the gui rendering quite laggy if you are using a Retina display. Using the terminal will make it snappy again. Using something like Alacritty will make it even snappier if you're sensitive to it.

- if you are on linux and use the gui, the pgtk branch is worth giving a try, it drops the old extremely outdated Xt code

- LSP can be quite resource hungry, it's really worth giving a try to the nativecomp branch of emacs 28. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GccEmacs

The main representation of the UK in the EU parliament was from UKIP, a nationalistic political party that formed a grouping with other nationalists.

By leaving, the UK has reduced the size of that nationalistic group.
Vetiver – key compound behind oil used in half of fragrances identified
Mind you, activist veganism is one of the biggest reasons family farms are being destroyed all over the world.

Basically, low quality food is flooding the market, and getting purchased by the poorer population, that don't feel they have a choice in what they eat, because they eat whatever is necessary to fit in their budget.

Meanwhile people that CAN afford to buy high quality food from family farms, don't, because of activism convincing them that doing so is evil, specially any farm that has anything to do with animals, this results in things that are actually really bad, like climates where wool is an excellent product have the farmers fail due to lack of demand, and instead people start buying plastic-based clothes, that contribute to plastic pollution.

Or in Brazil: people love to blame the animal industry there for the fires, but it is not so simple, the massive areas being deforested ilegally are often used to produce soybeans, that are on an evergrowing demand due to two sources of demand compounding:

1. As family farms die, cattle instead of eating grass (something that in Brazil and some other countries was important, as some places only grow grass, and not other plants more useful for direct human comsumption), people switch to factory animal farms, that require rations, that are often made of soybeans.

2. Meanwhile the upper strata of society is switching from high quality meat (that would eat grass) to eating soybean-based products (like soybean milk, soybean-based meat, etc...)

I think many activists have their heart in the right place, but they don't understand they are causing more problems than fixing them, the soybean industry is massively destructive, incentivizing it is extremely bad idea.

final note: Remembered other major source of soybean usage... when in the 60s and 70s there was this massive media campaign against usage of animal fats for frying, people switched to soybean oil to fry instead, Brazil also produces massive amounts of that, and I know many people that personally use soybean oil because they honestly believe it is healthier to them and better for the environment than using butter, pork fat, etc...

These numbers are outrageous, and only solidify my already skeptic stance towards cryptos in general. In an era where people are encouraged to reduce their carbon emissions to protect the future of the planet, it seems irresponsible and stupid to waste hundreds of TWh annualy on solving completely pointless equations. Western governments need to step in and put an end to this madness.

Using quotes to paraphrase your own interpretation of what OP posted (and then ignoring the last sentence which had more meat) is exactly the kind of low value comment you're talking about.
this pie chart is great but ignores the fact NFTs are growing exponentially as we speak. once we move to proof of stake everything will resolve.

however, if you consider the comparison in OPs link - "1.5 thousand hours flight" - and assume 1.5 hour flight averages $50, then 1000 x $50 = $50,000 for a piece sold for how much? millions? not only a great deal for the buyer but also for the environment, considering any business may have way over $50k in expanses (~= CO2 emissions) to generate this revenue.
The idea that U.K. tows the line on US endeavours in a way that countries like Canada and Australia don’t is absurd. Canada and the US share an enormous border and it’s often joked that Canada is like USA-lite. As for Australia - you may be right, as they’re too busy towing China’s line instead. (Although that didn’t stop them going into Vietnam).
If the solicitors were acting on behalf of the bank, then they are bound by the contract with the bank. If the bank is a half-decent bank, they have a third-party security risk assessment & risk management team, that audits them regularly.

You are thus covered/protected, because if they (solicitors get hack, leak data, etc) the bank will (most likely) spot this, and move to protect you.
It just reminds me of the people who pay to get "titles" in Scotland, etc. or "land" in Ireland - when you just get some pretend certificate.

Like the NFT isn't directly linked to the real world, it's only useful if everyone agrees to abide by it and that you own the thing (although I suppose you could say the same thing for most property ownership).
Bitwarden Send is a feature add for existing users. It solves a very real problem of sharing passwords (and other sensitive information) with others.

Before Send, the way Bitwarden recommended sharing data was by creating a group account of some sort (family, business), and using a shared collection.

On family farms (and my own), manure is used as fertilizer. On factory farms most manure is disposed of and animals fed on grain.

Children of parents on a family farm is hardly exploitation. Paying illegal immigrants sub minimum wage to squeeze additional profit out of the land certainly is a bigger problem.

Do we need industrial farming if it's driven by big capital? If the industry is happy to damage the environment, flout labor laws, harm animal welfare is it worth it? Personally I think the cost is too high and if anything, food is too cheap now.
Is the internet really to blame though? It can be a great way to meet new people and establish local groups.

I think the bigger issue has been the lengthening of working hours (imagine working just 9 to 5), and recently of course, the lockdowns.
Also, ecological production has suffered several scandals, quality problems and marketing snafus that have lead to it decreasing in popularity or getting less ecological:

E.g. there have been scandals around contaminated ecological ("Bio-" in Germany) eggs because chicken droppings more easily contaminate eggs when nests and cages are larger and more free-range. Ecological vegetables had acceptance problems because the lack of pesticides meant that the looks were less appealing in the supermarket, leading to the increased use of "green" pesticides (that is, "naturally occuring" poison) and barrier methods that harm wildlife like nets and foils. Ecological meat has also consistently over-promised and under-delivered on the customer-apparent quality of the product. You just don't notice if the steak you are eating came from a happy cow...
Well, most people use Bitwarden through apps, and this is present in their apps.

I think it’s a mistake to think of Bitwarden send as a stand-alone product, but rather as a convenient feature add to their existing (free and open source) password manager.
Honestly I think France is somewhat exceptional there, with the rioting for workers rights.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it does seem unusually French.

From what I can tell the workers rights situation in France really does dissuade some companies from setting up there.
No, I am not joking. Our politicians running unchecked isn't great for us, but at least they are no longer disrupting and influencing the whole of the EU.

If we had remained then, what would the EU have prevented them from doing so far? Would they have stopped the corruption with regards to the Covid contracts? I guess we would have to keep GDPR, but then GDPR might have been stronger in the first place without the UKs influence.

Yes, but we aren't any more and our press freedom index is quite low by EU standards.

“James [the client CTO] mentioned multiple times that he wants a future-proof technology, and he is not in favor of Angular because it has a bad reputation after AngularJS got deprecated.”

Few things in our industry are future-proof (or even future-resistant) and the stated indictment against Angular over the v1 to v2 changes is unreasonable even at the time.

These decisions are important but it looks like the author lost (or maybe never had) significant influence over them. The ability to influence key stakeholders over critical design decisions using rational (and evidence based) arguments is an important precursor to a successful project. It’s still possible to ship large projects without it, but it makes for a very challenging environment.

Optimized headline aside, I appreciate this summary because it highlights some of the nontechnical challenges in building larger applications.

* International travel currently banned. To leave Australia at the moment would require either exemption, or I relinquish citizenship.

I'm surprised the rich farmers of India (yes, the kind "protesting" recently) haven't started Bitcoin mining - electricity for agriculture is free in much of India (along with a lot more freebies, and no taxes). I guess it's mostly the intermittent state of the supply that's the problem.

> There's a consensus amongst economists that immigration makes us financially better off.

>> In aggregate, not individually. Great for those of us in the middle classes, but I have a lot of sympathy for those who see their low wages effectively pegged to minimum wage

There are two arguments here:

1. If an aggregate gain isn't being redistributed so we're all better off, that's a failure of the tax and benefits systems that politicians could (and I believe should) address.

2. But aside from that, there's good evidence that immigration simply doesn't hurt those earning least. See Esther Duflo, for example: studies "all come to the conclusion that the effect of low-skilled migration on low-skilled wages is zero". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1pZfFY132Q

Not just Dominic Cummings[0] but also Jacob Rees-Mogg[1].

I think it would have been democratically unconscionable to not have had "No Brexit" as an option on a second referendum, but that would have required a relatively complicated ranked voting system, and arguably it would have made more sense for the first referendum to have been set up that way instead.

I suppose the alternative would have been for Remainers to boycott the hypothetical second referendum, and hope that the number of votes for the different Brexit options summed to substantially less than the number of votes for Brexit in the initial referendum.

Foreigners and foreign countries can be proxies for domestic arguments. My favorite example is how the ancient Romans would talk about the non-Roman "barbarians." It might be they described them as they were but it's more likely they used them to make a point about what was wrong with their contemporary Roman society.

The barbarians are good, loyal and brave. They don't spend their time with cultural frivolities like theater, bathing and running a shop.

> Likewise for the environment - the right tends to deny climate change is even happening, so how do they support environmentalism?

That answers itself - if someone doesn't believe in a threat, it doesn't make sense to invest in stopping it.

> Can you give me one right-leaning healthcare or environmental "plan" that anybody in congress is pushing that will cover every American 100% for healthcare, drugs, mental health, dental, etc?

If there were exactly 2 choices, maybe there'd be a point there. But there is a spectrum of choices and no possible future where everyone has enough healthcare. None of the plans on the left or the right are pushing for the extreme scenario of 100% of the economy is devoted to healthcare.

The right wing would prefer the arbitrary standard trades off a little less against the economy, the left a little more. Both those positions are pro-healthcare, and both are arbitrary. You're welcome to your opinion on where the line should be drawn, but someone drawing the line differently isn't anti-healthcare.

> Why do the right also think it's okay to spend 700 billion per year on the military...

US's high military spending basically only goes up. If the left wanted to reign that in, they've had their chances and not taken them. It is a tragedy.
Yeah lol. If there is no physical entity enforcing the contract, then the contract is worthless.

Whereas with Bitcoin, the entire thing is digital. The only thing that is non-digital is the valuing of the bitcoin itself. That takes places in each individuals mind. Thus Bitcoin (store of value) is a solid usecase of this. NFTs are dumb.
I resist this eco-shaming we see everywhere. Flying: bad. Crypto: bad. Avocado: bad. It's total nonsense.

What we need is a very heavy tax on CO2eq, or on all pollution/ resource waste. A tax so heavy that we can lower other taxes as a result.

This way some products and services become more expensive in relation to others: the market will optimize low-pollution.

Eco-shaming is just sand in our eyes. Ban the plastic straws! Are you eating an avocado, seriously? This will not solve anything except for some people to have something to whine about.

I wonder if it's to do with the physicality of older data collection methods. In your example, the data collection method was very clear: getting your fingers black and ordered to perform an action with them by someone in uniform. The use of that data is even clearer: the potential for being executed.

It is very different to the newer methods where you don't necessarily know what is being collected or what it is being used for.

I saw discussed online the other day some alarmist comments about the government wanting to know "what your bedroom activities are" in response to receiving the census letter in the post and seeing a mention of sexuality. Putting aside the ignorance of conflating sex with sexuality, I thought it was interesting how hard this problem is for most people to deal with.

That same person no doubt uses multiple mainstream social media sites, has browsers full of tracking cookies, uses loyalty cards and has their data collected, sold and used for all sorts of things. But it's the letter through the front door, for, of all things, a function of society that is over 200 years old, that causes alarm.
The same process is happening in Europe, it is sort of neomarxism. Anyway, if you think I am misseducated, you should at least try to prove your point. It’s been long since the worker’s unions aren’t truly in the actual agenda of the political elections. Perhaps sometimes job creation, minimum wage and some punctual regulations but workers themselves aren’t the main dish since long long time ago.
I almost binged his entire channel, there are a lot of good video's on there. Also there seem some deliberate choices in the background music and the way the video's flow, almost as if they are written as concert pieces themselves.

There is an oversupply of people who only know how to train models and throw them over a wall to have someone else sort out the mess.

There is an undersupply of technically skilled people who have the knowledge and experience to sort this mess out and bring it into a production system (I'm talking about data engineers and machine learning engineers).

I think this will correct itself in the sense that those who only did some online courses will not be able to find a data science job so they will either retrain themselves to become a data engineer or they will pick a different field (maybe the field they came from initially. I suppose having domain knowledge AND some data science skills could be very useful).

Ask HN: Should I pursue a bachelor's in CS?
Greetings from Ontario, Canada!

I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, and I've been working full-time in the field for about seven years. I would really like to transfer into CS and work with intelligent systems, particularly in machine vision. In the past year I've been learning Python and C and doing small projects on evenings and weekends. Unfortunately my current job doesn't leave me with a lot of free time, and I've been itching to invest more time in learning and making myself employable in a tech career. I've been weighing my options, and my thoughts are as-follows:

- Apply directly for a master's in CS: From what I can tell, this option is basically non-existent in Canada without a prior degree in a related field. There appear to be more options in the US, but from reading here and elsewhere, it seems like it can still make for a difficult transition into a CS career.

- Take time off work to learn CS on my own: This is pretty appealing to me in the sense that I could work at my own pace, save on tuition, and have time to work on projects to build my resume. It seems like a lot of people have gone down this path with mixed results. I'd be worried about having a gap on my resume and not having a degree to help level the playing field with other applicants.

- Go back and pursue a second bachelor's: I'm 30 now, and as much as it would bite to have no net income for 3-4 years, it seems like this would give me the best foundation to start a new career. I'd come out of the program with a degree, and hopefully my age wouldn't make me an unappealing option.

There's a lot to ponder, and I figured I would ask for some input here: does pursuing a bachelor's make the most sense for what I want to do? Are the outcomes for self-taught job applicants as dire as they seem from reading other people's experiences? Are there better options I haven't considered? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
