While I applaud the author for giving a chunk of his income to charity, to me it just feels like paying a penance for doing something bad.

I may be in the minority on this belief, but I think advertising -- any kind of advertising -- is inherently bad. To me, it's just psychological manipulation. I never want to see any ads, ever. If I could wear a pair of contact lenses that removed things like billboards from my vision, I would wear them in a heartbeat, even though billboards are far less harmful than internet-based ads.

I sometimes hear arguments that advertising isn't all bad because when someone actually is planning to make a particular kind of purchase, advertising can help them figure out which brand/model/etc. to buy. The problem with that is that the ads have no interest in satisfying anyone's particular needs in the best way. Someone could easily be swayed by a slick ad for a product that is not as good for their use as another product that had a less-engaging/less-manipulative ad.

The worst thing about internet advertising is of course the erosion of privacy. If ad networks were merely paying for people's eyeballs, that might not be too nefarious. But they're paying to track people and build intimate profiles about them, and that's not ok. I have very little faith that any of these initiatives that will supposedly make ad targeting privacy-preserving will actually work. All they do is make it appear that a company is doing something, so they can point to it when they get in trouble, claiming that they tried really hard to help preserve privacy, but it just didn't work out.

I'm just not interested in any of this crap. I know micropayments and pay-per-article and such are really hard to do, and really hard to get adopted, but that is the only model I will accept if people want me to pay in some way for web content. Making me pay for a $30/month subscription for the three or four articles I'll end up reading on your site per month is not something I'm interested in doing. And I will not pay through psychological manipulation and erosion of privacy.
So for awhile I liked it and ate it. Then out of nowhere it turned into a thing that when I eat it I, without getting graphic, let’s just call it extreme digestive issues.

I wonder how frequently that occurs. Or am I just odd?
This is still ultimately true with things you subscribe to though. Netflix vies for your attention even though you pay directly with $$, because if another streaming service takes more of your attention, you'll pay for it (potentially instead).
It feels like they're on the right track, but after all the hype, I was a bit disappointed too. It has like a slightly odd oiliness that I didn't think I minded at first but ended up finding quite off-putting.
Yes it's a strange idea in the US that water should be preheated. Using cold water first is a lot more effective at removing things like dairy and eggs for example. It's way more environmentally friendly to use cold water and let the dishwasher heat it to the correct temperature especially since the first rinse is short so the heated water will just be pumped out again pretty fast.
Why is it so much the problem of the person being targeted though? The approach you describe seems not to address the behavior of the aggressors at all.
If you don't have a google-enabled android device (as I don't), and you've registered your Yubikey with google (as I have), they won't use the Yubikey they will SMS you instead.

Seems like they prefer google prompt, then SMS, then the actually secure stuff.
Valid points.

Maybe it'd be more accurate to say "the immediate history that holds the most power in a certain area tends to be the history that's written by the most powerful entities in that area at that time", or something?

Nazi Germany wasn't able to spread its narrative anywhere once it lost its power, while the Allies were able to spread theirs in most places. If Nazi Germany had decisively won and became the top global superpower, I that situation probably would've been reversed.

Genghis Khan didn't hold the most power in certain areas after a certain period of time. When he did hold that power, even if the literary classes under his rule hated him, I assume their narratives probably wouldn't have spread or been believed very widely? Due to self-censorship, direct censorship and violence from his forces, and his counter-narratives. But maybe I'm wrong; I know very little about historiography.
I'm just glad google caved allowing you to use authy. For a while they only allowed you to use their authenticator and I just hated it. I don't care how much integration went in with Android. Authy I can install on linux, windows, mac, android, and IOS. What is there not to love there?
People need to learn how not to give a fck for what other people might think about oneself, life becomes so much easier.

> Well, 4.4 million acres burned in 2020 and 1.7 million in 2018, so were a third of the way to that 20 million already.

Unfortunately this article was written in Sept 2020 so I think (but don't know) that those are baked in. But in the big picture, yes, nature will eventually burn what needs to be burned. However the hope is for controlled burns, not burns that destroy lives and property. The Camp Fire in 2018 alone killed 85 people. That's a steep price to pay for refusing to do controlled burns.
Doesn’t that mean that whoever uploaded these tiles is now paying for hosting this experiment?
You should negotiate working remotely and move out of the US, with that kind of income you could live like a king in most of the rest of the planet. I'm not even being snarky
How is that relevant to what I said? I have made no arguments or statements one way or the other about the criminality. I am trying to call out factually incorrect fear mongering about how close the US government ce to being overthrown.
I don't know the answer to your question, but it's worth mentioning as well that C itself was pretty different before C89.
The linked article says that B was compiled...
I think you're being facetious, but I kind of agree— I've found more joy in homemade black bean patties, shallow-fried falafel-based sandwiches, etc. Basically I enjoy it more when it's something clearly different that is filling that role, rather than something pretending to be something else.
Death is not harsher than "25 to life." Being a rat in a cage told to exist but your purpose is futile is no life worth living.

I also do firmly believe that even if the wrong person is chosen for the death penalty, it's still significantly more humane than throwing an innocent person in jail for decades stealing their life away in an even worse way.

Lastly, if you don't think Anders Brevik shouldn't be put to death, I'd argue morally you're the one purporting immorality.
It's subtle misinformation that's designed to change how people unconsciously perceive PWAs. When people bring up PWAs, they commonly refer to a particular set of APIs which has a tendency of mainly being a Google-driven effort. GP is muddying the waters by instead framing it as the HTML spec itself and implying it's official.

If this isn't a clear case of gaslighting, I don't know what is.
I can tell you this is an unpopular observation to put before developers, who are not often great at considering the human price of their choices, and advertising executives will continue to roundly & loudly defend their value proposition until there is no more toothpaste to sell, or we finally convince them to board the Golgafrincham B Ark. The combination of the two is a potent toxin that can turn an unassuming everyday programmer into a vassal of malignant narcissism.

Time is the most valuable commodity anyone possesses. Stealing it is diabolical.
Calculate Pay + Benefits - CostOfLiving.

A decrease in pay could potentially be a net gain.

I know a few companies where the location decrease was not in proportion to the cost of living. So people in certain low cost countries were making absolute bank. A much better deal than their counterparts in the US despite making less.
This is a great time to plug MSG... the delicious umami flavor wrapped up in one delish ingredient.

I never used salt much growing up at home - we always used Aromat!

I was shocked to learn that most of the world doesn't use Aromat!

Everyone go buy Aromat! It's delicious but unfortunately seems to be mostly popular for Swiss and South Africans!

It's perfect on tomatos
Ridiculously, I think the aggregate of tiny tips that people forever lost to that tipbot would be worth serious money now. Never would have imagined.
Oh yes, absolutely no corruption was ever found in the old Soviet system.
China also has an education system that’s supposed to be based on exam results, yet funny how the scions of high-level officials and billionaires usually end up at the most elite schools. Of course, it’s possible that they all got there on pure merit...
This is a crazy overreaction. Should be a misdemeanor with like a fine, max.
Yubikey is amazing. I only use it on my really important accounts - financial, etc... So I generally don't need it on the road, it stays at home.

I can use biometrics/sms for the less important stuff.
So maybe I’m a little lost, but how does this differ from content trust beyond being for more than docker?

Also — can the signature be uploaded to any registry or does that registry need to include a notary?
We all watched bad sci-fi growing up... right?

Beyond burgers are what I imagine when the advanced microwave food creator machine spits out when I say I want a cheeseburger
There's no need to bring the argument to this level of absurdity. The parent made a valid point about those food items being luxuries. Less fun is not the same thing as no fun.
I just had a horrible vision of an HN where everyone just posts links to videos.
Yeah, I was disappointed in it at first but after becoming vegetarian it's really nice to have it even if it's not perfect. When you have it with all the condiments it's good enough.
The wavelengths change throughout the day due to the angles involved and how much atmosphere sunlight has to go through. Generally speaking, early morning and evening are the most healthy to be out in.

In the Middle East, a "Tel" (as in Tel Aviv) is a hill that's the product of continuous occupation.
I think the real issue is that in 2009-2013 it was used by people who understood the risks. Now it is used by retail investors with no clue, who will be hit hardest by it.

I suggested everyone buy it when it was under $500, I said invest with caution up to $1000. Now I can't in good faith suggest to people that they buy it. And I am fortunate, everyone who did buy it on my suggestion made plenty of money.. probably because they had me in their ear saying "don't sell it" when they hit their first bitcoin drop. I get messages often thanking me for introducing them to cryptocurrency. However I and sure that there are many who didn't buy it and now regret it. Same as there are others who bought it, sold at a loss and regret it. It has been repeated as Infinitum, only invest what you can afford to lose and that is most definitely still the case. Bitcoin can still go to zero (or close enough not to matter) but It could also go to $100,000, and right now latter is more likely, but I feel as the price goes up so does the chance it goes to zero.
I'm a woman and in some sense I had sort of a sheltered childhood. I was one of the top students in my graduating high school class and I had a lot of firsthand experience with being taken seriously, having my opinions respected and feeling just as entitled as anyone else to speak my mind, etc.

And then I became an adult and life did not go how I thought it would and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong.

I will suggest that it can be counterproductive to try to hide the ugly truth from children that the world is often not a nice place, that there are prejudiced people and who you are can impact how other people react to you, among other things. I have been slow to take off my rose-colored glasses and get better at handling bad actors in a more tactical fashion.

Girls tend to be taught to worry about the feelings of other people more than their own and to conform to social expectations and to cave to social pressure. Trying to live up to high ideals about all people deserving to be treated well while I was not being treated well by them was something of an Achilles Heel for me.

That seems to generalize. I seem to not be the only woman who keeps trying to find some high road long after it's become obvious that the person in question is simply abusive and taking advantage.
Really living the dream there Walter.
Like coding interviews in whiteboards for programmers... questions about math/physics/etc... and you have to answer them, and then write in the blackboard your solution. You get graded by solution + the way you explained things.

Written, are just like that, written tests, usually not multiple choice, (that is an american invention), but you have to show the work you did to get the result of the problem.

They can be easy or brutal, it very depends on how hard is the teach doing the 'interrogation' on you....
Canva - couldn't you just use photoshop? This isn't a dig at Canva, but praise.
I use it a lot too (but hardly anyone else I know here in Denmark use it except very old people). Aromat does contain 60% salt though.
I think it's pretty much this, advertising is lubrication for an economy of consumption.

Word of mouth and aggregators (like yelp) can help people find solutions when they know of a problem, but ads inform/manipulate (depending on how you see it) people to know they have a problem in the first place.

Also if you've ever written ad copy it's all pretty structurally similar: hook, problem statement, solution, testimonials, etc.
With Netflix they have to strike a balance, though. Someone who watches Netflix 8 hours a day is going to cost them more in royalties than someone who watches 8 hours a week.

The sweet spot is likely a little different for everyone, and is whatever amount of attention keeps them subscribed, but no more.

Additionally, I have a customer-vendor relationship with Netflix. With a random ad-supported website or something like Facebook, I'm the product, not the customer. I would much much much rather be a customer than a product.
If you don't mind, what are you doing for a living now?
I never add salt to ground beef patties, am I unusual in this respect? They taste fine without, especially when you add all the toppings.
MOOCs are really great for appeasing your FOMO in that area and giving you a more well-rounded education!

You can basically take 101 intro course of any field from great universities. And if you want to go deeper, the advances courses on a university's page usually have syllabus, with recommended readings etc.
SpaceX successfully landed a Starship prototype for the first time
Land usage is a totally useless metric for the impact of beef production, because we can (and do) raise cattle on land that's basically useless for anything else.

Yes, they are a novelty, not something I am going to buy and eat again. Most I talk to feel the same way. Perhaps they are good for vegetarians, and anecdotally I think those are on the rise.
Probably the coconut oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, etc. They need something to make the white flecks and make the patty sizzle.
old nature wanted ~5MM acres a year, we messed with it, then nature figures out a way to get what it wants (after some delay). I thought we'd learn our lesson with that firestorm in 1991 (my first big fire memory). silly me.
Genuinely curious; is eating something processed like this better than eating regular unprocessed ground meat?
There are hucksters in every industry, and if you ask me, crypto has some next-level hucksterism.

The core of advertising is just getting some message about your product or service to a relevant audience.

A lot of companies offer that service, some more effective than others.

But yes, I started an ad-tech company that supports indie news publishers. Before that, I was offered a great gig at Yahoo (when it was still kind of cool) where I got into it. I honestly didn't seek it out but I guess I liked it enough to stick with it.
What's encryption got to do with the "logic board" (whatever that is)?

Encryption is done using a key. You are the owner of the machine, so you have the key. Just use that key to decrypt your files. Simple.

> and you should always have a plan for what happens if they do.

This is what I meant. Not that you expect your laptop to fail (or be stolen), but any important work should exist in a recoverable way. OP claims to have lost a lot of data when this happened to them. That should approximately never happen, at least not more than the day's worth when you were off network.
These types of books are made to sell, bro, not to be completely truthful.

While it is not my experience at all, I understand that some folks have certain negative opinions of Beyond Burgers, and other fake meat/imitation burgers:

- The texture is off
- Maybe they cook strangely
- Potentially less taste

But the most important thing about them, and the reason I urge everyone to at least _try_ Beyond Burgers, is they require no violence against animals.

This is not an argument that fairs well on HN in general, but the fact that we can eat something this similar to a burger but without the slaughter of living, feeling, individual being is so unbelievably important and incredible.

Maybe you think the burger tastes different, or has a strange texture, but I certainly won't try to argue that because it doesn't matter. No one needed to die for you to eat it.
Don’t forget that the pure Soviet meritocracy also resulted in a utopian society with unparalleled economic prosperity.
I just skimmed thru one video, mind giving me us the highlights? The argument that cows water requirements are mostly "green water" (i.e. rain that grows the crops they eat) seemed reasonable to me. So I have to imagine your "pure" garbage is a bit of hyperbole, but I am curious to understand which parts are wrong - hopefully without having to sift through more videos - thanks in advance
Google is full of shit as always
We still us 1.5x the land for for growing feed for animals (excluding feed exports). If you're suggesting that feed requires less inputs, provide the sources that back up that suggestion.
Newer link: https://youtu.be/pbElN8nfe3k
That was fast. I was trying to hold out hope that muse would be ok and the aquisition wouldn't change anything, but they wouldn't even let me have that.
And 100% not Burger
But we use SO much land to grow the food that cattle eat. It's not a useless metric at all.
Most people aim for better than “fine”.
Jump tables can still be vastly faster than if-else-if though it really depends on the specifics such as the frequency of each option being correct. Best practices are always subservient to benchmarks when optimizing.
everyone can lmao
And 100% less violence.
But not to the explicit exclusion of other data streams, which was the primary concern of most proponents. And the mechanisms for implicitly excluded providers does already exist for them to challenge any such exclusion, were it to be proven.
> Anyway, moral of the story is, backup often, and have more than one backup method, unless you like losing your data.

And I would recommend that no one use Time Machine for backups. I have several anecdotes of my own where TM backups became silently corrupted or a seemingly good backup refused to restore, and you can find many more examples in the Apple forums. An unreliable backup isn’t a backup at all.
Just as an analogy, one could imagine similar comments:

* I see contraception as intrinsically immoral...

* I see gun ownership as intrinsically immoral...

* I see capitalism as intrinsically immoral...

Which are all sort of arguments by normative value and probably not very convincing to those who don't share the same values.
Most of the ranch land in my area isn't really suitable for other kinds of agriculture so I don't know if that measure means much. It certainly isn't irrigated and I think the cows give back the water they use.
You should try it just to test it yourself.

I get a different burger maybe once or twice a quarter to see how they stack up.

Some of them I wouldn't know it was veg if someone else ordered it for me. Legitimately that good.

I've also had some terrible ones too, not sure if it was due to the prep work vs the 'meat' itself.

For now the price is always 25% higher which keeps me away from being a regular, but I expect that to continue to come down.

Consider me a believer, so - grain of salt.
Nutrition "science" cannot yet make accurate predictions here, but from my perspective there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that no single artificial product yet captures the nutritional profile of real beef.
You told me that you had misunderstood what I was saying due to the context. I was pointing out that you were still misunderstanding the context. I didn't insult anyone, but I did feel the the repeated misunderstandings had become so prevelant that I needed to describe the pattern that I was seeing. Edit: As I try to always be civil, I'd appreciate you pointing out where I failed to do so so I can learn.

If Pence had been caught and killed or taken hostage by the mob, that would have brought us no closer to a successful coup. There is simply no way that a single mob can overthrow the US government without significant backing from the institutions of power in this country. To pretend otherwise is to indulge in a fantasy that is completely unrooted in reality.

I was recently reading Nietzsche and I'm sorry I won't quote him correctly, but he said something like this: that the weak would use their weakness as an insidious power, to control, to manipulate, to coerce, to bully; it was all just a deep down ploy to exert their tyranny on those stronger. I found it fascinating.
Ad-tech involves big data, lots of volume, and tons of innovation and interesting challenges. There's usually a good paycheck too, because there are lots of companies that need smart people to work on the above.

Greatest minds? Maybe there are some, you'll find them everywhere. But I'd worry that the greatest minds are toiling away in academia chasing grants or working on things that they don't want to work on.

In the paraphrased words of Don Draper (Mad Men character), nobody grows up wanting to be in advertising. It just kind of happens.
Burgers are always good. Burgers properly salted are always better.

I like to say beyond meat is like an animal you haven’t eaten yet, but sounds plausible. I think with it framed that way it tastes delicious (if you crave animals). I went vegetarian and crave fake burgers more now than real ones before and Beyond really hits the spot for me. I love the sausages as well. The taco crumbles are a weird texture but I’ve used them in some hash scrambles.
