I absolutely respect your choices and your opinion, but I don't understand them. Is the wolf diabolically evil? No cash involved of course. Is that the issue? What if I hunt the animal and kill it and then consume it, like the lion, the tiger, the hawk, and the dolphin? Is the hunter morally superior to the farmer who raises a steer, providing clean water, well grassed pasture, and then kills in a humane manner for personal consumption? Is that diabolically evil? What about the middle man who makes some cash bringing the meat product to someone else who can use it. Is that where the evilness enters the picture?

I am asking the fundamental question. I will agree completely that large scale food production has some real problems with animal treatment. I'm not defending or commenting on that. I'm just trying to understand the moral judgements associated with consuming another animal, as is done at just about all levels of the food chain in the natural world. Our digestive systems, our teeth, our nutritional requirements are all tuned to omnivorous consumption. Why is it wrong to exercise our natural nutritional choices, plant and animal, that have resulted from millions of years of evolution?
That's just wrong. Inform yourself on the history of where the saturated fat scare comes from and the disastrous consequences on global health.

Not that active anyway, but yeah.
That’s interesting, because your latter example is pretty excellent. USPS can deliver to anyone in the country (unlike the private companies) and I’d say it’s pretty streamlined. The IRS is definitely in a bad position, but there are two problems: firstly, they’re only enforcing the tax code written by Congress. They can’t just streamline the tax code. Secondly, there are private companies lobbying to prevent the IRS from being as good as it could be. And that will obviously be the same with health care.

As a country, we’ve decided it’s in everyone’s best interest to be able to get mail. Private enterprises cannot solve global access problems because they have no incentive to go the extra mile for the last few people the system can’t reach. (Which is why internet is so shitty in rural parts of the country.)

So why not health care as well? To me, it seems like the problem are solvable.

The bats , horseshoe bats, located in caves approximately a thousand kilometers away have often carried these viruses. [0] And at least 6 times since the year 2000 the collection of these bats have led to humans getting sick. It just takes some fecal matter dust.

So a very likely explanation is some low level employees grabbed some bats, got their suits and vehicles contaminated didn't clean things properly, drove down to the Wuhan laboratory, and rested in town spreading virus contaminated dust or if they were already sick, their virus filled respiration about.

No lab leak needed, just the regular practices when "Wuhan Institute of Virology in China sampled thousands of horseshoe bats in locations across the country", and those doing so were being sloppy, as they have been known to be repeatably.

People have always killed other people. Some people even eat other people. And we let them. Have you tried to convince a lion to eat a soy gazelle? I suppose not, because of the strong language barrier. They would probably not digest it very well, as they are real carnivores. My point is, we are capable of having this complex discussion with several points of view and your whole reasoning is "animals eat animals, why shouldnt I?".

tl;dr: Nix will soon be deciding whether to rebuild packages based on the dependency contents rather than the build inputs, which should result in much fewer rebuilds.

This is excellent news, and hopefully the savings will end up being used to run more aggressive tests and builds of lower priority packages, to have fewer breakages.
> even marriage now depends on school. The share of marriages in which both partners possess college degrees grew by 800 percent from 1960 to 2010.

There was an article on Slate Star Codex that examined this issue in detail. The conclusion was the opposite - basically that life is worth it even if living in extremely poor conditions - as evidenced by accounts of human survivors of e.g. concentration camps (the majority still wanted to continue living, and even engaged in normal human activities like love and procreation).

A little background: The “glowing” remarks refer to Terry Davis’ racist, schizophrenic exclamations about being followed by CIA agents that glow in the dark.

Fascinating guy, fascinating OS. If you don’t know Terry at all, the video linked in another comment is a good high-level introduction. For a bit more detail on his technical philosophy this last interview with him can be insightful: https://youtu.be/HXwNTw4I6Ok

This fork throws away some of Terry’ supposedly divinely dictated limitations, so I can only imagine what videos he’d record about it. Still, it’s a fascinating exploration and continuation of his legacy (that he enabled by sharing the code).

This happened to a close friend of mine relatively recently, both the "benevolent" and the "firing after the vacation part". I cannot understand such tactics.

In the end it was much better for said friend the way things turned out for him, but right when it happened it was a shitty situation to be in, because you just don't understand why that is happening to you.

It seems like we don't have evidence, but the natural evolutionary experiment that's occurred provides a staggering amount. We can see from the virus phylogeny that:

1. The virus entered the human population in October 2019. All known SARS2 sequences are related in a single clade that, under very soft assumptions about mutation rate, would coalesce in late fall 2019. The first sequences we got, in early 2020, had only a handful of mutations between them. Nothing has ever arisen outside of this clade.

2. The virus entered humans with it's spike protein already fully adapted to the human ACE receptor protein. We can see this because there was not an accelerated evolution in this protein. We did not see changes in the viral genome resulting in a significant phenotypic change until the b.1.1.7 and other "third wave" variants arose. This stands in intense contrast to every other zoonotic transfer we know of. Adaptation always occurs because biology is different enough that different viral configurations provide immediate gain, and through continuous mutation the virus is exploring a huge space of these all the time. The fact that it doesn't mutate rapidly indicates it is near a strong local optimum.

One way of understanding the significance of this is by thinking of the virus as a learned model which is learning a solution to the problem of its own survival. What this evidence shows is that is appeared already optimized. We see this because over an incredible number of update steps (many quadrillions perhaps, with each human infection being like a minibatch, and each viral replication like a step) there was no significant reduction in test loss (viral survival). We randomly picked a perfect initial model. Either that first virus was lucky in a way that is similar to guessing a perfect solution, which has a probability so low as to be fanciful, or it had already in incorporated all the readily-usa le information about the human ACE receptor.

Do we have evidence? What is the probability of this pattern occuring in the case of a natural spillover? It's 1:atoms-in-the universe level. Finding a virus already so optimized to humans by randomly sampling from existing ones is like the kind of collision probability level that we comfortably use to build cryptocurrency castles that assume key non-collision. In the case of a virus optimized by serial passage in the lab? Frankly it's indistinguishable from that.

The main moral problem with meat consumption, to me, is not the killing - everything dies, you're right. It's rather how awfully the animals are treated both throughout their leaves, and also (in most cases) the slaughter process. It's really a horror show, and far worse than their natural lives would be. Not a life anyone would willingly be born into.

Almost all meat comes from such inhumane factory farms with terrible conditions. For the animals treated the worst (chickens) there seems to be almost no moment of their life without suffering. They're even bred with genes that guarantee pain (due to extremely fast growth and egg laying cycles), because that makes it cheaper.

If we had higher standards, this moral argument would be less concerning. But the standards needed to treat animals at least passably well would make meat far more expensive, which is not politically palatable. Better meat alternatives are the best path forward here.
If they are teaching about systemic racism well then they are teaching what you can do about it. It’s not a ghost.

And teaching kids the truth in these matters is rarely a bad thing. Being able to identify things like using prison populations to prop up the population of conservative districts is something that only can be addressed if recognized to begin with.
One problem is the narrative makes it harder to make progress on systemic racism.

Outside of very liberal strongholds identity politics can't get passed and they get in the way of any progress you want to actually make at trying to minimize the difference in outcomes between races.

That is not true. Critical Race Theory is a framework for viewing legal and social structures through the lens of race and racism.

Health is not the reason these products exist. I buy them because I want an unhealthy treat that doesn't have the same ecological or animal rights impacts as beef.

If 10% of whopper sales switch to impossible whoppers, that's a big deal, and foods like this can provide a bridge to consumers who have never considered vegetarianism.

I do buy or grow local food, I'm a vegetarian myself. Your view is, in my opinion, too black and white. There's serious momentum around plant based meals, and that's making even more plant based foods available elsewhere.
I read parts of this over the weekend after finding it via "We need a career path for invention"[1], another good article. Both of them focus on the idea that there's an unfilled space right now between research and entrepreneurship. From the latter:

> The bottom line is that if a young person wants to focus their career on invention—as distinct from scientific research, corporate engineering, or entrepreneurship—the support structure doesn’t exist. There isn’t a straightforward way to get started, there isn’t an institution of any kind that will hire you into this role, and there isn’t a community that values what you are focused on and will reward you with prestige and further opportunities based on your success. In short, there is no career path.

This resonated with me; long story short, that describes pretty well how I feel about my career so far. That being said, for software developers I think the situation isn't so bad. PARPA addresses the harder problem of invention in the "world of atoms" -- but in software it's feasible to do freelancing/consulting and then have flexibility to spend time on open source. I might be switching to that soon, after having spent the past few years on entrepreneurship. I wish I had thought seriously of freelancing + open-source as a career path while I was in college (or even better, before college; it could've saved me a lot of time on homework!).

Data scientists seem to be on a level of their own when it comes to disrespecting colleagues. I've been surprised by this recently.

Pretty much every developer, when brought in as a replacement, will bad-mouth their predecessor, say their code is junk and needs to be totally rewritten, etc. Managers love it and encourage it, to them it's a divide and conquer tactic. Data scientists just take it to the next level, that's all.
In the short term maybe a generation will not know how to deal with the knowledge of a system that is lopsided, but in the long-term waking up to the fact and then fixing the system is the only way we can have a better system.
To raise cows, you need crop. So real burgers already include the suffering from cropping, even more so because you need a lot more crop per calorie of you have a cow between you and the plant.

Now I want to emphasis that guilt is not a good reason to start with beyond meat.

The desire to try to do a nice thing can be, but as a vegetarian, it's important that people are not pushed out of meat because of some negative emotion.

I'd rather have happy meat eaters than frutsrated veggies.

But give it a try, just for curiosity sake.

I like the taste of BM, but find them hard to digest.

Except if china covered up that it was a lab leak for political reasons, one can argue the entire pandemic was their fault. Alas, the crime is covering it up, even if all the institutions set the safety standards. No different than any other crime.

An important question for any WASM language is: what's JS interop like?

The raw interop features are extremely primitive, so you really need something ergonomic built on top of them. Rust's wasm-bindgen combined with some Traits shenanigans gets you something decent. A language designed specifically for WASM seems like the perfect opportunity to provide an exceptional story for this, but I don't see anything about it in the OP (only skimmed so could have missed it).

Environmental concerns I think should be excluded from this offshoot of the conversation, which is spawned from ethical concerns about killing animals, not environmental concerns.

That is not what Nazi Germany believed. Also, coincidentally, German Jews were not more rich then average, there was no persistent difference like that. They were lower middle class that clustered in the few cities. Portion of them were refugees from Eastern Europe.

Also, Germany had actually very small Jewish minority which was very integrated.
You can bet the russians and chinese will be busy tipping the biggest buffoons on all sides just to stir the pot. Right now they do it with Likes and Followers.

So the most misguided people keep pointing at the counts to justify whatever they say, do or think.

Before Twitter finding a large bunch of such people, characterized by 2 traits (1. they have no idea how misguided they are 2. they have endless energy and can spend 24x7 broadcasting bullshit) was very hard. Now you just have to search for a particular hashtag that signals crazy and tip the people with the highest posting frequencies.

As long as you can find more people than the number that work at Twitter support you have ready made chaos injection system.
