Hey - thanks for replying.

There is nothing wrong with eating meat (the substance) itself.

I used to eat meat.

The issue is the cruel and destructive process of the factory farm industry, which supplies most of the meat humans consume.

We are not hunter gatherers anymore, humans living in the 'modern world' don't need to kill non-human animals to survive.

Now we breed, torture and kill millions and millions of non-human animals and in the process destroy our biosphere [0]

So is it logical to continue this practice when we know it's destructive on multiple levels, i.e. on a human, animal and environmental level?

The HN community is made up of logical thinkers, so my assumption is that it should be quite simple for this community to make this cognitive leap and see how irrational it is to continue to support the large scale meat industry.

And from a humane perspective - if we can choose not to support cruelty - why wouldn't we?

Damian Mander - ex special forces guy and founder of International Anti-Poaching Foundation put it best in my view though: https://youtu.be/BUMGBwgGYWw?t=100

I'm also a big fan of Ethan Brown - founder of Beyond Meat. He realized people won't easily give up traditions and one way to shift people away from animal meat is to provide something that's as good or better than animal meat.

Would you eat meat that wasn't derived from animals?

When I've seen this method for the first time I immediately thought about GraphQL. For this usage SEARCH is good name.

Also SEARCH was suppose to be case when you don't mutate data, so SQL insert and update is not good usage of it. You should use POST for that.
>What does humanity have to gain generally, with an increasing share of our energy and chip manufacturing output going towards an essentially pointless activity?

Let us ban all internet chat. People can use smoke signals and paper mail instead. (Aside, the latency differential between internet messaging and paper mail is extremely similar to the differential between legacy settlement technology and blockchain-based.)

Let us ban video games. Board games worked for thousands of years.

Let us ban all video streaming. Let people use local video stores instead of all this high energy information broadcasting.

You ask this question from ignorance. You assume the new technology is pointless, when in fact it represents a sea change in finance, contracts, and international order. There are use cases and financial instruments that are impossible with legacy technology. To call it pointless is simply wrong. Anyone from any country with the ability to broadcast and receive hash strings can participate, this is not an exclusive endeavor.

Awesome website! Although it often loads very slowly for me.
If all hardware and software is the same, you should get the same print. Which doesn't make the fingerprint globally unique, but unique enough to make you "one of these 10000 people" instead of "any of this billion people". Combine it with other data, and the combined set identifies you uniquely.
The delineation of this argument is what made me switch to Linux. On Windows, things that should have been getting easy were getting harder for me: software management was getting worse, updates were getting worse, and everything that should "just work", just wouldn't. My experience on MacOS was just as bad, with all of the 32-bit apps I used gone in the wind. Now the 64-bit apps are up on the chopping block, and I had to look for other options.

The learning curve for Linux was larger than Windows or MacOS, but I only learned the truth. By cutting away abstraction, I can actually understand what my system is doing, and be a better citizen of my operating system. Linux is arranged masterfully, and makes the Windows filesystem look like a joke in comparison. It's also faster than any of the Macs I own, with the freedom to plug in a modern Nvidia GPU and play whatever games I want.
Fagradalsfjall – Documentary Shows the Birth of a Volcano
Killing self-identified enemies in a literal war zone is not the constitutional crisis you are implying. And as said, a "potential murder" isn't actually anything. Unless something happens, it's not something to cite.
Democracies are less likely to fight because during diplomatic talks they can draw on their domestic values that are rules on ‘how to collaborate without giving up autonomy’. Autocratic cultures most fundamental rule is ‘who is charge’ and then establishing the hierarchy of where everyone else fits. So you are always more likely to end up in stalemate or conflict when an autocracy is one of the negotiating parties because of a higher likelihood they might want to force the issue that they are in charge.
There is the problem of unknown unknowns that makes it hard to define the risk of experimental medical intervention.

The risk calculations you are attempting to make have important variables that are undefinable.
And this is exactly why any of my hobby projects that involve JS are done with plain JS, with as few libraries as possible. I might pull in specific libraries, but I don't want to pull in a giant framework that will be outdated the next time I decide to work on that particular project.
> Slow down there bud. Where did I say that?

If I miserepresented you, then I am sorry.

> Unless you’re talking about AI/ML, then yes, university labs receive more from companies, than government funding agencies.

This is simply untrue. Companies comprise less than 10% of overall university research funding, and AI/ML is far from dominant. It's easy to verify this.
I addressed concerns about cohort calculation in the sections "What explicitly opting out actually entails" and "This has happened before". I don't think we should normalize adding a Google work-around to every server every time Google does exactly what we all know it will do, esp. when that work around isn't guaranteed to work and is dependent upon Google's goodwill.
It's quite tough to know for certain if you're being fingerprinted.

I worked on finding ways around fingerprinting at a previous job. The problem is that sites go out of their way to hide fingerprinting like performing it in an arbitrary redirect and then never do it again or only after using the site for a bit, and prefer doing it before an important operation like making a payment.

E2E encrypted chats do work on Telegram Desktop if you’re on a Mac and using the native Cocoa build (not the Qt one).

I remain curious as to why this is, but I use them often enough when I find Signal a pain in the ass to deal with.
...and pay out of pocket for the use of a search engine? Why, well, I'd do that; e.g. neeva.com is accepting sign-ups.

Also, ads without personal targeting, much like dead-trees newspaper / magazine ads, could still work and prop up certain web publishers.
Good point.

Counterpoint: these are measurements that can be factorized into dimensions in which you can go too far. In fact, you can't actually keep going to infinity in these measurements because you will hit roadblocks in the underlying factors.

General intelligence and excellent judgment will contain neuroticism. Too much of that and you get analysis paralysis.

General intelligence and rapport building contain empathy. Too much of that and you become weighed down by feeling everyone else's feelings.

Attractiveness might help you in general but there are issues like jealousy or not being taken seriously by technical people, so it's still a trade off.

Anyone can create one account for their use anytime, but if they create and use multiple accounts, they get shutdown by the site admins. HN became what you praise in part by emplacing defenses against sock puppets, an approach that’s loudly contested elsethread. That HN has remained at all nice is in part due to that “one account per person” enforcement, and the reason why is clearly stated in the guidelines:

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

I don’t mind if people keep their identity secret from the other users of the sites that verify identity. I don’t mind if people keep their identity secret from the site admins, as long as they only have one identity. Enforcing that is very hard at scale, and only works at HN due to the small size.

this is one of my favorite Nix blogs out there! the NixOS systemd timer one was great - I used it when I had to make my first timer and it was the best resource out there.

The narrative style made it a fun read too. Feels like someone explaining things to me personally off the cuff.

The Green Party of Canada has a record of opposing such IP laws, I doubt throwing money at the major parties will change their stance unless you're secretly part of the Dave Thompson family.

AP News has no RSS feed.

Aljazeera English on the other hand has almost the same content than Reuters (like literally, exact same articles), has RSS feed, and also has interesting news about Africa, Asia and Middle East.
And some folks have a really tough time coming off SSRIs too, with bad withdrawal symptoms (extreme anxiety, panic attacks, tremor, hallucinations, memory loss, confusion...) even when tapering over several weeks.
It's good to remind ourselves that all of this is optional.

Most websites could be a simple WordPress do. Many brochure websites should be static. There are benefits to straying from that, but they come at a cost.

Apple's App Store 'breaking at the seams', says former marketing director
Not quite. In the F.S.F.'s definition, even if the manufacturer provided a full documentation of the hardware and thus an ability to write free drivers, but none had simply done so and it must thus be shipped with proprietary drivers, then making it r.o. renders the entire hardware “free”.

In fact, a literal reading of the F.S.F.'s definition would make a computer with Windows on it, provided that it be burned into r.o. memory meet the terms of their Respects Your Freedom mark, though perhaps they would refuse in that case due to a clear violation of the spirit of the rules.

The problem is that by the F.S.F.'s definition, one can sidestep it all by simply burning any proprietary software into r.o.m., as then it is hardware, not software.

This paradox is the result of the F.S.F.'s insistence that the world can be neatly partitioned binarily into products that are entirely composed of “free software” and those that are not, and a want of such a binary partition often creates such bizarre paradoxes.
I know there’s already a decent amount of pro or at least “pro-sumer” audio production software on iPad. I don’t know if those are totally separate products and codebases from Intel PC, or if some of these companies have already done the work to make their stuff portable.

I was put off by the way he attacked Vlad Tenev.

Tenev became a scapegoat for the GME fiasco, and, as the facts came out, it seemed he really didn't deserve to. I get that Tenev's "we don't have liquidity problems" answer was a little disingenuous, but it also wasn't totally wrong if you include a bunch of fine print, and I get how it was necessary. In the end, it turned out that the whole T+2 system was stupid, and leaked through the abstractions built on top. He didn't have enough capital to handle a crazy outlier, and he went back to get more money for next time. What else was the guy supposed to do?

So attacking Vlad for "ethics" was low. Remember that, before Robinhood, we all paid a bunch of trading fees. The dude has done some good. Chamath just piled on to an easy target. I don't like people who cast stones so they can look good.

I don't know why I'm here doing Robinhood's PR for them. I guess Chamath's grandstanding just left a really bad taste.
I don't think Silhouette had anything to do with this. The other user has been posting junk content which is either autogenerated, glued together from other content, or both. The comment where they copied from Silhouette (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26842183) also copied from https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/11160#iss..., and probably other places too.

Show me where I said BO would dominate or be a juggernaut. You can’t, because what I said is that it wasn’t a money pit for Bezos and he does have a long term plan that isn’t to compete with SpaceX. As far as I’m aware BO plans are entirely orbital in nature while SpaceX wants to be the work horse of the solar system.
BlackBerry to decommission legacy BB7.1 and BB10 OS services from Jan 2022
“As another milestone in the BlackBerry journey, we will be taking steps to decommission the legacy services for BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 software, BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1 and earlier versions, with an end of life or termination date of January 4, 2022. We have chosen to extend our service until then as an expression of thanks to our loyal partners and customers.”

Q: What are the migration options to move off these services prior to the EOL date?

A: Customers will need to move to new devices.
I didn't realize you were using the term "native" to refer to compiled versus interpreted.

The electron binary is native code, of course, or it wouldn't execute.
> I really like the fact that you have to declare when a class implements an interface. I consider it a valuable feature in Java. It’s a tremendous boon for documentation because it makes finding compatible classes much easier. Documentation indexers make this a snap, and it makes it easy for IDEs to autocomplete for you.

In some contexts I miss this in TS, in others I find it unnecessarily limiting. Probably an even split. Though I find myself wanting nominal types more for primitives (sure email is a string, but not every string is; or is this number really an unsigned int?).

I tell my law students that:

(A) [as stated above];

(B) the cold reality is that they need to learn the rules of "correct" English, even those rules are often arbitrary. That's because in professional situations, others — including but not limited to hiring partners, clients, and referral sources — are likely to think less of them if their usage doesn't conform to those rules; and

(C) When grading their work, I will deduct points when they don't use "correct" English, because part of my job is to help them learn to do so.
You are spot on. And now, try OpenBSD. It's the next step in removing useless abstractions.

Grit + a large nest egg can effectively buy success in many markets.

If a millionaire decides that they will run a successful restaurant come hell or high water then that is what will happen as they're now spending double the typical startup cost of a new restaurant they can be quite bad at it and still be successful.
Because if you actually stop to look at 'their' side and compare the news stories to 'your' side, you'll find both sides are full of exactly the same kind of loaded subjective language, usually written in the same adversarial tone and distort truth in some way to fit an agenda.

In some cases you can literally take a story from one side, swap all the adjectives so they have the opposite meaning and congrats, you've now written a story for the other side.

High intelligence is not strongly correlated with success, in fact it's unfortunately correlated with things like increased chance of depression and suicide. Very high intelligence often comes as a result of some other deficiency in that person's life, for example they're socially withdrawn, highly reflective, and prefer to be alone with a book.

Attractiveness makes people think higher of you, and your intelligence. But excessive attractiveness causes people to think you're superficial and focused on your beauty, rather than your intelligence. They may also objectify you, or be intimidated by you.

Every coin has two sides. Every coin.

As for categories like "excellent judgment" etc. these only can be identified post-factum from the results. I.e. it's a circular definition to say "this successful person making judgments correlates with his ability to make successful judgments". So I'm not sure that gives is a clue what to do, or what to be to get there. "Just make excellent judgments, damn it!" :-)
Interesting, I had never seen his denial of the emerald mine story or the student debt thing. I wonder what the truth is.
Phrases like "the content is what is important" come to mind.

The whole project of graphic design has the same kind of abyssal qualities as other arts with a technical element - you can always go deeper, more specific. And in a competitive market it's really tempting to sell yourself on one-upping the techniques of others. With a computer in the mix, you can just add specification without end and it will soak everything up like a sponge.

But each layer of that you add gets a little farther away from "creative medium" and a little more towards "bells and whistles production". The essence of it comes from the content, and this is true of everything on the Web too, despite all the interference on and around the platform. So it's more like a case of modern development being "you have to describe the medium you want to work within" because the base layers are this morass of vocabulary that isn't conceptually coherent.
