I wonder about that claim.

I've never seen the Impossible Burger, for example, pitched as a bridging mechanism. It seems to be purely about food substitution with no expectation that someone would phase that substitute out as they adapt to a plant-based diet.

I feel like the pitch is "hey look, you can be vegan/vegetarian and not miss the meat-based foods you love so much!" i.e., you can have your vegetarian cake and eat it, too.

But that then gets back to, why switch at all? If it's about ethics, these products make sense. If it's about health, it makes a lot less sense to me.
Yup. $550/y. Also interesting perks:

- Pre check fees

- No foreign currency tx fees (like my uni's ATM card)

- Lyft pink & bonuses

There has been countless times when I've reached for some cheese on the shelf and then finally noticed the words "cheese product" on the packaging and realize that I didn't actually grab what I intended to... so I put it back and look for one with the correct labeling.

So perhaps deceptive marketing/packaging is how it's gaining in sales?
Okay yeah, that's a different issue than what I thought you meant. You're saying we should focus on the most asymmetric careers because they'll give us the best understanding of gender gaps.

That makes sense, but personally I think you should still focus on the "smaller issues" instead of just looking at the most extremes. People who are "a little aspy" may have similar biological causes as severe autism, but their social situations are much different. People with Aspergers may just require some minor accommodation to live their lives, but people with Autism may require a lot of care. The causes can be similar while the scale drastically changes the type of response.
I think your comment is good, but also, your comment and the parent comment highlight a situation that makes this discussion hard: you're both talking about two different things.

You're talking about using a current compiler to build old code, aka, backwards compatibility. We put a lot of time and effort into this, because it's important, and we're not perfect, but we're pretty darn good at it, it seems.

The parent is talking about using an older compiler to build newer code, aka, forwards compatibility. Basically no programming languages I'm aware of provides this today, but they release on a much slower schedule, which means that in practice, it is likely to happen less often. Because Rust ships so often, and because it's so easy to upgrade Rust, the community tends to adopt newer features faster than in other language ecosystems, meaning that forward compatibility becomes more of an issue if you do not want to update the compiler.

> "Rich Indians trying to flee" is pretty perjorative?

I don't think it's pejorative at all.

They're rich, they're citizens of India, and they're scrambling to get out of the country in a hurry and spending a lot of money to do so. If I were in their place and had the means, I'd be doing the exact same thing.

XAI research talks about exactly that, system B "surrogate models" that are consistent with the recommender right around the locus of a prediction. If the surrogate model is easy to interpret, you can forgo directly explaining the base recommender. I think a thing to keep in mind that recommenders may be proprietary, and thus pointedly black box. I view interpretability as a conversation between the recommender operator and the user, subject, or regulator of the recommender that is unfortunately mediated by confidentiality. I view explanation as like debugging, something you do in house in dev, and it bewilders me that one would launch a system that one can't explain. But, sometimes we make deployments first and then rationalize them after ...
There are ethical vegans and health vegans. The distinction can matter and it's unfortunate, but not unexpected, how much people from both camps deal with the contradictions involved between the 2.

I think critiques about what's required to make substitutes is warranted and good for the industry. I also think that increased sales and attention will drive these products towards much better versions in all aspects. So let me thank all the non-vegetarian/vegans who are willing to dabble in these foods once in a while. I truly appreciate any contribution to the reduction of meat intake, regardless of the motivation.
> [...] is good enough

There is no such thing when it comes to cheese. Cheese is love, cheese is life.
The medallion system in e.g. NYC is a state-run franchise, and until Uber the medallions were an investment unto themselves. Many of the drivers were formal employees of the medallion owners (not to say that labor abuse and political shenanigans didn’t exist, of course).
Elephant in the room here is tying benefits to employment.
Wanted to make pizza with my two year old daughter a couple of weeks ago. Picked up some mozzarella at the store and when I went to use it noticed the well hidden plant logo and "plant based" text that was almost the same color as the packaging. Figured I'd give it a shot. It was inedible, completely ruined the pizza. My daughter took a bite and said "no, dad" I agreed and we threw it away and got a happy meal.

I figure once everyone gets fooled once like I have it will stop selling.
It'd be interesting to look at pricing by city. I bet they implement predatory pricing, i.e. undercut in small markets to crush competition, then raise prices.

Regardless in NYC Ubers tend to be about the same or more expensive during normal hours. And significantly more expensive during peak times. How much of the surge pricing goes towards the drivers pay? I'd wager margins are excellent for Uber during surge pricing.

There will come a day when each city will operate it's own system to facilitate app based taxis (will be on some standard protocol), and Uber a central entity out of SF won't be competitive or will be taxed out. Why let an entity extract X% of each ride out of its economy? Not worth it.
As with anything, all people have different priorities. Some people prioritize taste in their food. Some health. Some ethics. Though usually it’s some combination of many different priorities. Indeed there are different types of Vegans as well, who don’t like to eat processed foods.

I’d guess that most people would prefer to eat less pre-processed food. But most people are all too busy and stressed that they don’t have time to grow their own crops, process our their food, cook meals by hand, AND make lots of money working a full time job selling insurance or whatever. And of course, much of this preprocessing makes food deliberately tastier and store longer, so there are clear benefits. So I’d guess most people are just balancing their food priorities among their needs to, say, interact in society and eat a living while staying full and healthy.

Disclaimer: I am not a vegan
Cashew cheese is so freaking food. It's got the perfect texture for nacho cheese dip and buffalo chicken dip. I honestly think it's better than dairy as the base for creamy soups.
A bias towards testing for Covid wouldn't explain fewer cases of the flu unless those cases of the flu were coming back as Covid falsely instead of so further diagnosis was stopped. If you have a bad enough flue to seek treatment, then once you get that Covid test and it says "negative", you would move on to the next step for treatment. (Consistent with past years - nobody was getting flu tested just cause they had a runny nose in 2019, it was just the people who needed treatment).

There could be other explanations, such as: a desire to avoid Covid causes people to avoid seeking treatment, so more flu cases self resolve. OR: a fear of Covid causes more people to get tested when they're sick, and some of them may then go for flu testing before they would otherwise after coming back negative for Covid...?

Seems like the simplest answer is just "actions that have reduced the spread of one disease have also reduced the spread of another, that's historically less widespread already."

I feel like I've had this conversation at work at least a few times. It's the ratio between new code and maintenance. Can you solve this by adding more maintainers? Yes. Can you solve it by reallocating people to maintenance? Maybe (depends if they decide to quit instead).

But you can also flip it and ask if this feature focus is really helping or hurting. The parts of the work that look like 'feature factory' work should be treated as suspect. On some projects that can be half of the new work. We get so consumed trying to figure out if we can do something that we don't stop to think if we should.

In a volunteer organization, however, you have to create a certain amount of busy work in order to make sure that new volunteers have stepping stones to becoming bigger contributors. Did this need to be done? No, but we needed a way to get Tom from point A to point C, where we really need his help, and so we had him do B even though it's not really much of a priority.
Typescript and node?
To me a medallion taxi driver is a lot more of an independent contractor than an uber driver. They both drive a car but the former has a lot more control over their day to day activities. Assuming they owned the medallion rather than working for someone else who did.
> the health care system almost collapse in Italy, NYC, LA, and now India is still a huge deal.

This I can agree with. But our way of dealing with the problem hasn't solved that going forward whatsoever. Are we going to ignore the fact that NYC has been shutting down hospitals for decades[1]?

> Hugely more people are dying this year than do in an average year.

Not according to the numbers I've seen.

> People died, literally dies in all of these places because they weren't able to get into a hospital.

What are the death rates for people in hospitals compared to people dying with covid outside of hospitals? What interventions are hospitals providing to most patients that are conclusively saving their lives? At first, it was ventilators, but that has quietly become not recommend for most patients.

I happen to be close friends with someone that worked on the covid floor in a major regional hospital. Most people in the hospital were being treated for pneumonia, some of them were on supplemental oxygen. The hospital was never overrun, only a small portion was dedicated as a covid wing.

My friend never contracted covid, nor did anyone else they worked with.

That's why I said "often embraced", not "always embraced". :)

I certainly am not so arrogant as to believe I understand why each and every person eating a vegan diet has made that choice.

However, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to claim that a non-trivial number of people make the switch for health reasons, and that these plant-based substitutes are marketed based on claimed health benefits.
Facebook experimented on people (some might have even been kernel programmers), but Facebook programmers are still contributing to the kernel. Let's not even talk about all the other organisations who have done some pretty unethical things, I mean lots of corporations who have or still are violating the GPL (on Kernel code even) are allowed to continue to contribute to the kernel.

Sure, but if you look at the general trend in Sweden the death rate had been in a steady decline for many years so 2020 was a clear trend breaker.

Some call Sweden a nanny state and it's true in some regards as there had been changes to regulations (esp laws regarding smoking in bars,etc), comprehensive cancer screening initiatives, road construction laws,etc to decrease the impact of common mortality causes.
No one's saying you can't freelance. But there are some pretty clear rules about what you should be able to do in order to really be a freelancer: choose which jobs you take, set your own hours, decide how you want to do the job, how you dress, etc.

What's not OK is when the company wants all the advantages of having contractors but still wants to dictate all these things.
Fix the fact that health insurance, retirement program, etc are all tied to traditional employment rather than forcing everyone into a square box.
> I'm expecting this to increase fares, but currently there is a lot of room between Uber's fares and traditional taxi fares so even if they went up 20 or 30% they would still be a fair bit cheaper.

In almost every place I've been to in the US in the last few years, Uber has not had competitive prices at all. They did back in ~2014, but their rates have been higher than yellow cabs and taxi services for a while now.
That's the term, it's been a while since I had to work with this stuff. I don't remember if I ever was able to use the metro codes to look up data from a GDS, but I do remember that I once ended up with a dataset where I had to heuristically disambiguate those codes from proper IATA codes; that sucked.
> I never understood the hate Nano gets from vi users.

The reason I hate nano was that it's been forced upon me for in my view entirely misguided attempt to make the commandline more approachable. So that now instead of any competent unix person needing to have at least minimal skills with two arcane (but powerful) editors (vi - for editing, and emacs for shell keybindings at least), you now also need minimal skills with an essentially equally arcane but not at all powerful or, useful editor (once you have basic competence with either emacs or vi at least).

Wouldn't it have been much better to have provided a friendlier vi(m) config by default, given that this was already the default editor on any unix system before nano came along and there is actually some fair amount of benefit in learning it, because it's a powerful and widely supported set of keybindings (emacs and every major IDE have good vim emulation these days)?
This is a super weird stance to be honest...

Imagine if I sell my book on Amazon. Is Amazon the employer or my publisher?

If I rent my home out on AirBnB, is AirBnB by land lord or realtor?

If I offer to fix plumbing via craigslist, is craigslist my employer?

So, if I offer to much of my services on a platform am I to be employed by that platform?

The drivers of Uber and Lyft have opted not to be employees before. There seems to be some sort of political agenda here (maybe increase in taxes?), because no one seems to want this.

As someone who doesn't have any skin in this game, I too think the about the same things. That we are going towards fixing any problems by forcing companies to make gig-workers employees instead of fixing the systemic problems in the gig-economy in other ways. To me having the freedom to freelance while making decent money seems to be a tremendous benefit giving people lots of flexibility.
It makes sense if you realize that everyone wants everyone else to have a minimum quality of life, but everyone is also trying to pay/sacrifice the least to achieve it.

We want employers to provide benefits, as opposed to the government because that means higher taxes. Then you put a million exclusions and tax deductions and other loopholes, so no one knows what they're really getting, but we can say we did something and that benefits do exist to serve as arguments against broadly, easily accessible benefits to serve as a floor on quality of life.

Sounds like a definining characteristic of monopsony, which you could argue makes the difference between contractor and employee somewhat irrelevant.
In my experience, the vast majority of people go vegan out of concern for animals, and not primarily because they want to be more healthy.

Doing a quick search seems to support that, but perhaps the trends / reasons are changing as veganism in general becomes more mainstream.

Meh, that vim keybinds thing is an exaggeration. Using arrows keys for moving the cursor, holding down Ctrl for jumping words, holding down Shift for selection, etc is even more consistent across editors, and doesn't even need any plugins.
Smoked tofu is good- I wish there were more smoked veggie meats and cheeses. Definitely not something I’d want on a pizza in lieu of mozzarella though
Yeah I don't think any substitute foods will fare well when eaten on their own but they shine when they're part of a larger dish. And if you're only eating real cheese when its by itself like on a charcuterie board that's already a huge improvement!
Not if the metrics is done right! Code churn is always positive since it's "lines added + changed + deleted" Honestly your example is exactly why software metrics is a good thing for developers.

If I can do it my gasoline powered car I expect to be able to do it in a EV. what's so hard to understand about that?
Yes they can. By simply writing "Pay to the order of: X" in the endorsement area, the original recipient can create what's called a "third-party cheque". A bank would probably not accept this today, but it was certainly done in the past.
What do you imagine " fixing government policy and laws that disadvantage independent workers" would be?
That switch (cabbies leasing cabs rather than working for cab companies) happened in 80s. Before that they were employees, and in big cities often unionized.
Which is nuts - they were so popular and efficient. Was it the taxi companies who wanted them gone or uber? Uber I'm sure did a lot better business once you couldn't grab a scooter.
In what areas do we expect explainability to be crucial? It seems most recommender systems (think Amazon, Youtube, etc.) don't add much value by providing the reason as to why they're recommending a specific product/video. Are there areas where this could be problematic?
Non-vegan vegetarian here and I agree. The flip side of it is, the dairy cheeses next to the vegan cheeses don't pass my taste test either.

What are they trying to imitate, shitty deli slices?

I really want vegan cheese, but I want Parmiggiano-Regano, Brie, Smoked Gouda, Burrata, Pepper Jack, and Manchego, not deli slices. I don't even eat real dairy deli slices.

Same thing for vegan yogurt. Every goddamn vegan yogurt brand makes the same 4 boring flavors: vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, and peach. The EXACT 4 FLAVORS I HATE. That's why I don't eat vegan yogurt. Why is there no pineapple upside-down cake, white chocolate raspberry, red date, and matcha? START with interesting flavors and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
