(1) it's something they do to make comparisons between countries easier, as different countries have different thoughts on what is/isn't considered edible, and also because it's easier to measure (e.g. using a very simple "mass balance" method that looks at the weight of foodstuffs that go in vs. what comes out)

(2) the report distinguishes food loss (harvest, initial processing, transport etc.) from food waste (at home, in restaurants and cafetarias) and explicitly discusses only the latter

(3) the CO2 stat is just a spiel, there's many other reasons to dislike food waste

The report and the development of the index is not misleading at all. On the other hand, the way it was pitched to the media is questionable, and I've got to think that some of the people who worked very hard on this must be rolling their eyes.

Friendly compared to Wayland. X Windows offers many features that the designers of Wayland decided to exclude to keep their protocol simple, and for some security theatre reasons. But this simplicity is deceptive, as it means that implementing all the excluded features, and deciding on relevant interfaces, is left to the Wayland compositors. This is the reason "Wayland" (or, more correctly, Wayland compositors) still miss many important features that are

* expected by users of X11, Windows, or Mac

* expected by power users

* needed by the visually impaired

And it is also the reason why the Wayland ecosystem is destined for horrible fragmentation of interfaces, features and implementations.

Another consequence is that the X11 model of having the possibility of easily making a window manager to one's liking is not possible with Wayland, as compositors are monstrous beasts compared to window managers.

I also wrote about all this in some of my previous comments, e.g. there was a large thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24886074

EDIT: there's another perspective to this that I didn't express very well, so here are some quotes from Arch BBS:

By user neosix:

> You can't send keystrokes, move mouse, move windows, you can't even get active window. And all that because of security?

> But guess what it's not safe walking down the street, something can kill you, so let's just stay in the house and never go out again :)

By user Trilby:

> While I place a very high value on security and well designed software, the strategy of saying "you shouldn't want to do that" is not a sane policy. Yet this has been the approach of wayland from the start. Can you have a system panel? No, you should not want to have one. Can you have one client talk to another client? No, you should not want to do this. Can you turn on your computer and do anything even remotely productive with it? No, you should not want to be productive: here, watch a cat video.

Emphasis mine.
There will always be Ponzis because it works on the greed of the mark. Wanting unrealistic returns and impossible profits makes people ok with the "rest of your story," even if it's all BS. The mark just has to believe he'll profit at those crazy levels.

> It's not xenophobic for people from the US....

While racism and xenophobia is real, it has been and is being used very effectively, especially by China but others too, to deflect/blunt genuine criticisms and claims.

Just as an amusing example, we talk openly about UK variant, SA variant, Brazil variant - but never talk about original as Wuhan variant - it is simply coronavirus.
I said it pretty clearly, it's not Amazon's fault that US healthcare is broken. Comparing EU to US for wages is thus largely fruitless. Fix our healthcare then your comparison might be useful.

I was attempting to nicely dismiss your comparison.
I agree though. If we ever want to have a chance at closing the gap between low and middle classes, then we need a basic income for people making under a certain income. Taking away the hardships of deciding whether to put gas in your car or get groceries isn't a decision someone should have to make. An extra $500-1K per month for those people would make a world of difference and ease a lot of those everyday decisions.

The utopia would be having low income housing running on solar with affordable EV's for people under a certain income level as well. Combined with a basic income, it would certainly make a huge decrease in poverty and allow these people to bootstrap themselves into the middle class.

EDIT: for poor math skills. lol

I’m with you. I use Figma for all UI/UX work, Resolve for editing/grading but still reach for AE for motion graphics and some video things. Even though After Effects is super slow and doesn’t seem to get much faster with newer CPUs/GPUs, there’s nothing else that comes close. Maybe Fusion in Resolve if Blackmagic spent enough development effort on it.

Having said that, I think Adobe can still continue to grow with the overall digital/creative market growth, even if they are losing market share on a couple of the flagship products. They have some enterprise cloud software and I guess the photography/print design/illustration users are still there.
Aren't things like time tracking, etc. union-specific though?
There is a lot of evidence. The lab in question was specifically warned about by the US State Department for studying coronaviruses that affect human ACE-2.

I mentioned this in another comment, but here's the 2018 State Department warning.

Please note part (6) about human ACE2 coroniavirus:

This is false. You can read the science here (note the "receptor binding studies of reconstituted RaTG13 showed that it does not bind to pangolin ACE2."

This kind of obtuse comment is part of why pro-union people have such a hard time convincing any anti-union people.

People have had bad experiences with unions protecting shitty employees far beyond what companies usually do, and the response amounts to, "NUH UHHH".

If that's what people have actually experienced, telling them "actually what you saw with your eyes isn't reality" is not effective messaging.

The USB functionality came fairly late in the MD's life, I think. For the vast majority of MD devices, you could only get data in or out via audio connectors, which, even if digital, is incredibly slow and unwieldy - there's no transport control from the computer! It'd work like the tape drive on a C64.

> Or, if unions weren't forced down onto the workers, they might choose to work with the same employer and not deal with the union.

Let me put it this way: if managers weren't forced down onto workers, maybe I'd work with a different manager or no manager at all. The employer used its "monopoly" over its workplace to force management on me. That's cured by my ability to try to get a different job at a different workplace, yet somehow a closed union shop is different. It's a double standard.
This one hurts.

mystore.shopify.com is definitely hosted by Shopify but it's content is a totally isolated entity. You can trust laptops.shopify.com but this trust should not automatically transfer to fakestore.shopify.com. In the same way if you have a valid account on laptops.shopify.com, the browser shouldn't allow fakestore.shopify.com to emit a request and buy something on laptops.shopify.com with your valid session on your behalf, even though they're on the base domain.

You have also the parallel problem of how do you transfer the trust you have on google.co.uk to youtube.co.jp only based on the domain info you have.

This all to say that using only domain names to resolve ownership is a hard problem, since ages browsers use a crowdsourced list [1] to get around this issue but recently it proved not to scale very well, specially after Apple's move to use this list as part of their "Limit Ad Tracking" solution.

The S&L crisis is not remotely comparable to the Crash of 1893, say - to the point that trying to use the S&L crisis as a counterargument to my point is laughable. And why didn't it turn into something like 1893? Because of the Fed and the FDIC.

Sure, we've had "crises" pretty regularly. Those crises are on average much less severe than crises were before the Fed.
Two guys. I've seen a lot of confirmation from medical researchers that moderate rate walking (easy to converse meanwhile) does provide some aerobic benefit as well as improve strength and balance. Faster walking (difficult to converse) delivers more aerobic benefit still, to the extent that for folks over 55, it's suggested that fast walking is sufficient to get aerobic benefits.

And if that's not enough, you can always speedwalk.
Indeed.

For the 18th and much of the 19th centuries, the Royal Navy was the organisation to join if you wanted to be at the bleeding edge of adventure and exploration. A bit like NASA today, but with a military mission.
My wife has been doing a ton of Zoom on an Ubuntu system on a Dell laptop, using their native app. She hasn't had problems.

Clearly your experience differs, not sure why.

Of the proprietary video meeting apps, they all have problems, but Zoom sucks less than Teams, Webex, or Skype and is a lot easier for non-technical folks to use.
> 1) Many times, yes. If we want to analyze things logically, oftentimes people just need a safe place to stay so that things are stolen from them/they can avoid drugs/they can tell an employer that they live somewhere in order to have a more stable life.

This ignores the obvious - that people who have start off with a safe place to stay end up on drugs and homeless.

When I consider what I have observed about trauma - I do basically agree that a safe place is part of the solution, but you are also looking at half a decade or more of support and recovery time in addition.
I wish I could use a (Mac) desktop application to talk to my Fitbit. It looks like there was one years ago.

(First and foremost, I'm at my computer all day long. If it has trouble syncing, I'm right there and not going anywhere. I hate having to find my phone and try to get the data synced just to see how well fitbit thinks I slept last night. Also, would be nice to access my data from my device without involving the cloud.)
prior to the No Surprises Act just signed (and maybe after too?) ERISA allowed for balance billing. Which means not even California laws against balance billing would apply.

For anyone not living in the permanently-fucked US, an explanation: your health insurance covers you for "in network" doctors at an "in network" hospital. If you go to an "in network" hospital you would assume (wrongly) that you are fully covered. But no. Some random anesthesiologist can come into your room, provide their service for 20 minutes, and stick you with a $5,000 bill because they are "out of network". And you have ERISA insurance and you are just plain fucked.

Anyone getting health services in the US must hang a sign on their door saying "In Network Only". I'm 100% serious. Every person that walks in your room must be vetted. And good luck if they can't find an "in network" surgeon for that emergency service or whatever.

It would be great for the world to get iMessage on Android, maybe it would serve to erode the stranglehold of WhatsApp in many countries.

From a business perspective it still might not make sense, but many iPhone users are now using WhatsApp and Facebook messenger over iMessage. Android users around the world rarely use These same apps over sms to an even greater extent. This means Apple is losing market share on their own platform. If this continues, the lock-in they fought for is gone. Will families still feel they’re unable to buy an Android phone for their kid when they talk to everyone on Facebook messenger?
Understandable. Good luck with the transition!
>a majority of them decided not to bite the hand that was feeding them.

How did we as a nation go from the land of the free, a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, to "beg for scraps or you will starve."
You're missing my point on purpose.

I am trying to say there is a contradiction in what you are saying. You claim to want companies to move into impoverished areas, but also say doing that is evil. No company has ever moved into an impoverished area to help people, they have always done so out of self interest.

So which do you want, companies to move into impoverished areas (acting evil), or not (acting good, according to you).
+1. There's some neat innovations here though - having the eye mimic the expression on the other side of the video stream, better tracking, extremely obvious on/off states. The eye-lid also might give the viewer a more immersive experience (movies sometimes use this effect and it works pretty well).

But the whole thing looks disturbing - if this was turned into a real product you'd probably want something more cartoony.
There's a difference between software having problems, and the problems that zoom had/has. The fiasco of creating a method to run any command with escalated sudo privelages just because they wanted to make the install easier that remains after install was absolutely mind blowing. Those kinds of things are unforgivable.

> Have you ever shopped around for lower pricing?

It's one thing to shop for a lower price, it's quite another to notice someone's desperate and take advantage.

An a lot of people object to that, too, and they often lack the power to make any other decision.

The part they left out is important: the endowment. They optimize for the endowment, and contributions towards it. “Elites” have the most money to contribute. It’s always about the money, of which Harvard has $40.9B.

I'd LOVE for someone to research this. Case studies. Metrics.

My experience with unions has been mixed. Same with non-union shops. Recognizing that I'm just a simple bear, I haven't been able to figure out any rules for what works, or doesn't. My hunch is governance. eg Unions that are more democratic, accountable perform better. I have zero notions about what might make non-union shops better or worse.
Here's what we do:

Our support form lets you do feature requests, information requests, as well as support request. We review and answer every one.

People who submit multiple and will engage with us we put on a list. Many of those people make it into TestFlight and we have a tight feedback loop with them. They can opt out any time.

But we also have a lot of users with a TON of time in the app (some of our people are in the app 6+ hours a day). So they hear about stuff pretty quickly and we try to respond as best we can to fix and improve things.

But really, just responding to feedback requests and figuring out who has good ideas and can work with you on those... that's the biggest part aside from the time it takes to manage those relationships.
You could phrase it a different way: If you want to become a write, start writing. If you want to become a painter, start painting. If you want to become an entrepreneur, start making some lemonade and selling it.
The FUD about SPAs and Javascript on HN is insane. Here's my personal site: https://chadnauseam.com/. It's a SPA. It loads fast. There are such things as anchors and link (inspect element if you like). They have URLs and you can ctrl-click to open in a new tab.

(The biggest proble with it is that I've been playing around with some js to animate a fade-in effect on page load, and it seems a little laggy and makes the site not work with javascript disabled. If I can't fix those issues I'll probably remove that in a few days.)
Not a response to you specifically, more of a comment on the reliability of sources: causal media (such as Twitter, blogs, HN comments) might misuse the term “Ponzi scheme,” but sec.gov sure doesn’t.
Maybe, but it might be inversely correlated. I have an expensive bike, but I also have the means to replace it if stolen. When I was younger and had less disposable income, the theft of my less expensive bike would have been more devastating.
And/or, the set of people who'd have qualms about leaving a fake review, but were perfectly willing to cheat a stranger out of $15, is empty. Not to mention, it would kill an opportunity for repeat business.
FWIW I think it would be possible to prove conclusively in the form of documents leaked from whatever lab was conducting the experimentation.

Nothing should be labeled as the ultimate devops toolkit when its documentation is as atrocious as nix

People can commend it as much as they want, but the steep learning curve is largely self inflicted because of their resistance to writing clean, comprehensive, up to date docs

It has also led to the community being filled with a lot of arrogance and pretentiousness

I wouldn't run nix in production because of the lack of accessibility and toxic community. There are other ways to get reproducibility, etc without using an arcane and poorly documented toolkit

For every Ponzi scheme that blows up and is all over the news, there are dozens more that are able to fly under the radar long enough for the perpetrators to disappear. There is a lot of get-rich-quick style fraud out there and very few government resources to tackle all of it. The trick to running a successful Ponzi scheme is really to make sure to not get big enough for the real authorities (like SEC) to care. Grandma complaining to the police that a local swindler cheated her out of a couple hundred bucks is going to be met with a shrug.
almost guaranteed though its not completely covered by amazon, and workers have to pay monthly premiums like most jobs that offer healthcare.
I know you argue in bad faith, but that issue has indeed been addressed since at least 2012 and the general consensus is, that the name is not a problem.
