> Furthermore there is emerging evidence that vegetarianism is often not an ethical choice

What is this evidence?

And, you didn’t really answer the question. Would you be fine with my stunning a dog, slitting it’s throat, and boiling it alive? I’m well aware of how culturally acceptable it is in other places, but i’m not asking that. Im asking if you’re cool if I do that to a dog.
If you need to communicate to someone how a given foreign word is pronounced, IPA is invaluable.

Audio doesn't do the same job, really, since it relies on a trained ear and the ability to distinguish what each individual sound is. Experts have this. The people that most need the help, don't.

When I see the volume, liquidity, value on chain, and all times lows of crypto stored in exchanges, to me that means its easy enough for people to figure it out from their favorite influencer’s bite sized video
Weird that they concentrate on qualities that are absolutely irrelevant to a burger. When I'm eating a burger I'm thinking about the taste, smell, and it's nutritional qualities, maybe price. Not random environmental stuff.

Years ago, I was advising the "entrepreneur club" at a major university and I met with one of the students. He introduced himself as "president" and we chatted and talked out their Vision. A week later, I met with him and another member who introduced herself as "president"

Slightly confused, I asked if they'd just had an election. Nope. Turns out they called their members "president" which looked great on their resumes.

I was impressed they gamed it so simply.

Media Creation Tool requires internet access, so you can't just flash a Windows .iso that you have independently downloaded from microsoft.com. Of course, you can always prepare the correct disklabel yourself, use a BOOTSECT.EXE incantation to make the USB bootable, then copy all the files, etc, but this really should be easier than that.
Not in English, they won't.

In French, Italian, or German, though, they already do. Those languages are quite orthographically regular.
Good OCaml projects almost always have interface files with thorough type annotations and documentation. It's the best of both worlds–the implementation files are free of the clutter of types, and the interfaces are strongly specified.

thanks for this info - I was not aware - it does not work for my six - as two are here and two west of town and two south of town.. some fosters.. so not same household.. but glad this is a thing.

The other day to prevent a young one from replaying the same soundtrack over and over via youtube - (bandwidth repeatedly counting against and lots of ads for the same repeated songs oh my) - I just popped over to amazon and bought the album and popped it onto a usb stick for them.

I picked up a couple of gift cards for their bday this week - one of them was a google play card - then I remembered G killed the music section of the play store, so I put it back and got an amazon card instead.

that premium would be a great deal if we had one more in the household here. we've got three chromecasts - two with the google tv - but not the gtv plan - sheesh the ads via youtube with that are a drain, and I wonder about the compression for music - but they still use them for convenience and the other things like discovery+ which is affordable.

Oh if only they would plex-like into a win7 box on the network and pull my collection of mp3s.

Maybe all this is going in a good direction. Fingers crossed.
Whether you get strong assurance of correctness from static typing depends on your domain, are you're working with a closed-world app like a compiler, or a talking to the rest of the world a lot?

Though it's telling how little static checking by type systems is leveraged eg in LLVM, so even in closed systems the assurance payoff for static checking doesn't necessarily get good bang for the buck.

Eg working with web based services, your code tends to communicate a lot with other services, and a very large % of bugs that make it further out than your dev laptop come from those interfaces. Making these part of the closed world of the static type system is done in some places but most static language users elect not to do it, preferring programmable checks in form of schemas or tests. Which I think tells something.

I tend to think of static vs dynamic as a mindset question, where our bias of loss aversion rears its head. It's an attractive idea to hedge your risks by usign a static language even if it only catches the trivial bugs and slows you down, because statically found bugs are a falsifiable observation, wheras making programming easier, faster and more fun[1] in general doesn't leave hard evidence unless you run duplicate trial projects just for science.

[1] For some personalities, you might derive more fun and satisfaction in the mathematical certainty of static languages. Or you might be in a work environment where you don't have room to find fun anyway. Or maybe you don't even like programming. Yet others find fun indispensable: fun is necessary for keeping up morale.
Why can't you rely on installing ftom USB. It is many years, and many baremetal installs, since I had had access to a DVD drive. Curious about what kind of issues you are having with installing ftom USB
You can use regular TOTP with Microsoft. You have to click some box during setup that will show you a QR Code. I can't remember what it said, but I did it a few months ago after a tip here on HN.
Look, if you don't understand the tech, just say so. I'm happy to provide any clarifications and answer any questions you might have.

EDIT: For example, do you still hold the misguided belief that non-mining nodes serve no purpose on a blockchain's peer network? We spoke of it a few months back.
Because every language and tool is part of a wider software ecosystem, and it's reasonable to ask how any given language compares to the other options that you have.
All these comments explaining that you can't have an SSD that's not permanently locked to the secure enclave on the Logic Board™ because of "security".

Which means that a customer really needs a backup... Which by definition can't be locked to the motherboard. SMH.

Apple™ apologists come up with any justification, no matter how implausible, for Apple™'s user-hostile self-serving design choices.

I guess it's just a happy coincidence that then they can charge customers for using their Cloud as a backup, because they've removed any autonomy that the customer might have had otherwise.

One button saying, "set your own recovery password", and one 20c connector, and then any customer or lowly genius bar™ Logic Board™ replacement drone could easily transplant the drive into another PC when the self destructing crap Apple™-designed Logic board™ with tiny inadequate heatsink or secure enclave™ linked touchbar or dust-powered exploding keyboard switch or whatever other obvious self destruct mechanism they've designed in inevitably kicks the bucket.

The cherry on the shit sundae is that they would still get to sell another mac to the lucky 𝚟̶𝚒̶𝚌̶𝚝̶𝚒̶𝚖̶ customer, so there is no advantage to them in preventing this.

Apple™ just doing asshole things because Apple™.

> Popular vegetarian cooking has never picked up those recipes, which are much better to my taste than what passes as a lot of vegetarian fare. I’ll go for months as a vegetarian but I cook my own food, leaning heavily on the cuisine of regions that aren’t vegetarian per se but nonetheless produce surprisingly satisfying vegetarian dishes based on legumes. I’ve convinced far more meat eaters with these dishes than with fake meat.

It’s impossible not to ask. Could you share any recipes or dish preparation tips?
Pretty much what happened to an email address of mine. I'm migrating away from google.
We don't want to know. That may sound a bit glib but I think it's true. What would be the reaction if we could determine the outbreak was due to an unintentional leak? China cannot reimburse the world for the economic damage covid has caused. It cannot be held accountable for all the lives that have been lost. It cannot compensate the world for the diminished quality of life we've all suffered. But there will be plenty of calls for China to do all of that. If covid is the result of Chinese negligence, the reaction and conflict across the planet over what to do about it is going to be absolutely terrible.

And let's not even begin to think what will happen if there were to be evidence that this was an intentional release.
This is bizarre virtue signalling that you should rein in.

The entire world eats meat, and you know that.

You almost certainly have some opinions on the moral correctness of animal slaughter for food.

So it's not a leap of logic to realize that probably there's a significant cross-over between people who have this view but still like the taste.

So I have no idea why you feel like this is a "confusing" product to exist.
So, Tip Jar is literally just a built in linktree?
Why have it 2 strokes away when it can be 0 strokes away? I don't mean this for every definition, just for top-level definitions and class members and methods. I'm a fan of type inference and clean code too, but I also want the code to be documented and human-readable.
Nice paper.

Another example of the corruption of the Russian system which I have heard (quite likely apocryphal) follows: a female student is taking an oral exam in front of her <whatever subject> teacher. (These exams are or can be one on one.) The teacher indicates that the student should unzip her dress or she will receive a low score. She is extremely uncomfortable but attempts to comply. The zipper gets stuck. She says “I’m sorry, but it doesn’t go any lower.” The teacher replies with “Then I can’t go higher than a 3!” (Exams in Russia are out of 5.)

You can complain about the SAT all you want (and I won’t defend it) but it doesn’t have that particular disadvantage.
Einstein was 12 when he started learning calculus; the myth that he was bad at math as a child is just that (a myth).

Einstein didn't "get started in his spare time" - thoughts about the universe consumed him as a person, to the point where him being "absent minded" was because he was visualizing the universe; his love letters even contained frequent discussions of science. His brain was preserved after his death, and there's been actual work done by multiple groups, with indications he was structurally different than a normal brain.

Einstein did NOT just get started "in his spare time". At all.
It's funny, because the two groups you've described are diametrically opposed. The former are red solidly red, while "color blindness is racist" is pretty solidly blue.

I always considered the current culture of cultivated-victimhood to be rooted in the manner Western people fundamentally define themselves by their triumphs against adversity. In the absence of real adversity, people seek and create surrogate adversity for themselves to triumph over. From this process they can rationalise themselves as having the inner-strength to overcome such barriers.
Clickbait article. I was expecting more than, "don't be an asshole to your peers".
I believe "restore" is the proper word for what you were trying to say.
> they would do a stack-rank 10% cut to reach the target turnover each year

Does this mean leadership would rank all employees once a year and fire the bottom 10%, so they could hit a statistic? And that was before the owner came back? Obviously your story is insane and I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I can't get over this part. I think the concept of a terrible person owning a business is less shocking to me than the idea of someone giving themselves a minimum quota of people to fire every year.
I, too, have noticed this in /r/cryptocurrency. Lots of posts that are just obviously trying to farm moons with generic popular opinions. Meanwhile, the mods are getting a salary in moons. Really interesting stuff, for sure. Back in the dogecoin days, this wasn't an issue because it was purely for the memes. Sending someone a few thousand doge as a meme tip cost you a few dollars at most, and that point the karma was worth more than the doge itself. Looking back, those tips now equate to thousands of dollars!

> but U2F is a real pain because you can't make backup copies of the key.

The backup is to have multiple U2F keys. I have over 10 U2F keys. Most (but not all) providers allow you to register multiple U2F keys.

Amazon AWS for some foolish reason (in my opinion) is one of those outliers which only allows one U2F keys to be registered. I've read people's reasoning on why that is and none of it makes sense to me.
I think GP was trying to say that fortified buildings last longer than shoddy McMansions. Which seems true given the survival ratio of castles to hovels over a millennium or so. Of course to win a war you may want to fortify cheaply... but given the modern system armies we have now I’d have to say that part of the grand strategy is to simply outspend rival nations.
Some languages support this with try/finally or a `defer` statement that you can place near the top of the function
I think we definitely have some threats, and climate change is a big horrible looming one that almost no one is taking seriously or doing anything about other than to pay it lip service.

But unless we trigger a global thermonuclear war in the next 19 years, I think humanity as a whole will make it to 2040, and at least from what I'm reading, most climate scientists seem to agree about that.

We are most likely going to pass a tipping point by then, though, and humanity might not make it to 2100 (or at least those that do will not be having fun lives).

I don't really care about IoT's getting hacked. Everything gets hacked nowadays and things are still running.

Wow, I was about to ask why you were concerned about a supernova, since our sun is not in danger of doing that for billions of years, but holy crap, it's a real thing that's happened to the Earth an estimated 20 times over the past 11 million years, and is estimated to have warmed the earth 5-7 degrees Fahrenheit each time it has, and there are 6 potential supernova candidates close enough to affect us right now, even.

I mean it seems like it's still very unlikely to happen in our lifetimes, but yeah, that would be like almost instant catastrophic global warming.

Are you sure about that? I distinctly remember using .isos with Media Creation Tool.
It is a nice tool and a nice codebase.

I prefer to tinker with code without a compliation step. So I made the demo work with the code in src/ to run without a compilation step. The demo is almost pure html/js/css but not completely. It uses webpack for the styles (pipes them through less) and the js. The js is plain js but the index.html expects a version that is de-modularized by webpack.

But changing a few lines index.html got me to run the demo with the default styles.
Yikes, if so then it's incredibly lucky that it wasn't melanoma, that would likely have been too late.
I actually had my friendships with the folks there used against me. If I thought something was wrong or shouldn't be done, my boss would say, "You like your friends here, don't you?"

W.T.F.??

There's really no correct thing to do. I lost so much sleep just trying to come up with something that wouldn't be turned against me.

It's a form of learned helplessness. They force you into a no-win situation, so you'll stop winning. They can't win on merit or competence, so they force you into no-wins. Impossible deadlines. etc. etc.

It's the opposite of "Hire people smarter than you and get out of their way." Their strategy is more like... "Hire people smarter than you, get them to do your job, make their life hell, so they quit, then take all the credit."

Psychos.

> The notion that DEI advocates have redefined racism to mean “inequitable outcomes” is a framing that has been constructed by conservatives and IDW types, but it is _not_ what DEI is about.

The second term of the social justice prescribed D(iversity)E(quity)I(nclusion) solution, equity, literally means redistribution of outcomes.

> The social justice side actually agrees with you and has just started an unhelpful fight over semantics. Whether you want to call is “racism” or “prejudice” it’s not like there is anything special about white people that makes it impossible to discrimination against them. That does differ, though, from structural level discrimination.

How are DEI programs, affirmative action and diversity quotas for hiring&promotion not structural level discrimination? These are policies and laws pushed by the government and corporations.

> The notion that DEI advocates have redefined racism to mean “inequitable outcomes” is a framing that has been constructed by conservatives and IDW types, but it is _not_ what DEI is about.

> DEI is about what _explains_ the inequitable outcomes.

There are more than 3 possible explanations. The most likely one is that your categories, race, are not well fitted to what you are trying to explain. For instance, Nigerians do incredibly well and are considered black and most of them came here not rich.

You are also comparing over timeframes that don't make sense. The america of today is not even comprised of the same populations, and the people that lived these injustices died a looong time ago. As recent as in 1950 89.3% were white with most of the remainder black. Today 60% white, 18.5% hispanic, 12.5% black, 5.8% Asian, 2.3% multirace, and 0.9% other.

Most wealth and status is also currently not gained through inheritance. Most get high status through education and wealth through work. This shows how bad it is that social justice activists push racial discrimination where status and wealth is currently gained through individual merit.
For both healthcare and college, a handout to whom?

> It's governed and protected much as a cartel might protect its turf.

By price fixing? You'd have a stronger point college is a racket because you need it to get a good job, and there aren't viable alternatives, though that implies more collusion between employers and colleges than there actually is.

> We know where it went, we know who got that money.

Again, this isn't obvious. Part of the increase in the price of college is because room, board, and amenities have gotten better, and easy access to student loans have accommodated this. This isn't a "handout," though.

Healthcare is somewhat similar in that the fee-for-service model led to higher costs, but it came about in a very natural way, and it's more about patient expectations and liability than handouts.

> There is nobody willing to do anything about it

Purdue hasn't raised tuition in 10 years. That's something.

As long as Mighty keeps providing a better experience than the local browser on the average user's own device, they'll have utility for a significant number of people. Developers still need to provide satisfactory-enough performance to the bulk of their audience. Mighty is for the users in the right tail who are willing to pay for better-than-satisfactory. There's no reason to believe that right tail will ever disappear.
I absolutely answered your question fully and honestly and I am disappointed you won't recognize that because it suggests you're not discussing this in good faith. You asked if my position applies equally to dogs and my exact answer was, and I quote:

"So to answer your question, in principle it absolutely applies to dogs..."

If I misunderstood your question then you can rephrase it. If your question wasn't about rational and ethical arguments about meat consumption, but instead personal feelings and emotions, then sure I can fully admit I am personally not cool with you going out and killing a dog because the scenario you present comes with a cultural and emotional context that I am predisposed against having been raised in the Western world.

If the purpose of your argument was that you're against killing animals for emotional reasons, then I actually respect that and have nothing against you feeling that way and encouraging others who feel the way you do to consume a vegan diet.

I think there are numerous benefits to a vegan diet, I just don't think the argument you made that we should choose it primarily on the basis that killing an animal is intrinsically violent in and of itself is a rational argument. It's a perfectly fine emotional and cultural reason to do it, and those are good reasons, but it's not a strong rational reason in so far as the arguments you've presented have not been rational.
